The Langdon Area School District is back to the drawing board on how to update the elementary school's aging heating system as well as other improvements in both school buildings. The most recent attempt to gain the funding necessary for the improvement to the school building took place on Tuesday, October 1. The measure to increase the building levy by 12 mills failed to reach the necessary super majority by just seven votes, as the district joins an ever-increasing number of schools trying to find ways to make old school buildings last longer. “I think getting 60 percent of a public group to agree on adding property taxes is a difficult thing to make happen. I think there is some belief that property tax is an unfair way to fund schools and school projects. Property tax is the only avenue currently available to school districts to raise funds at this time,” LASD superintendent Daren Christianson said. “With the state bearing a larger burden of the cost for educating students, I think there is some thought that the state should share in the burden of building, remodeling and refurbishing schools.” For both the school board members and the members of the steering committee that advocated for the measure, the near-miss is extremely disappointing. Despite having a high voter turnout for the measure, with preliminary numbers show-
ing 552 citizens casting a ballot, it was still not enough to reach the state century code requirement of 60 percent. “I feel it is very disappointing that the vote failed, but I wasn’t shocked. There are many schools throughout our state that are older and having similar issues to what we are having. They are also having a hard time to get votes to pass to help their school districts,” steering committee, building committee, and school board member Chris Olson stated. As the steering committee comes to terms with the loss, they are also reviewing their efforts to determine if anything could have been done differently to show just how badly these improvements needed to happen. Questions such as “Who else could we have reached? What did people not understand? Could we have done more to get the word out? Do we need more meetings?” have been expressed, but no clear answer is readily available. “Our children and teachers deserve to have a safe and healthy place to work and go to school. We don’t have room to house them at the high school, so I am not sure what the answer will be. It is hard to keep band-aids on when you really need a tourniquet,” Dawn Roppel, a member of the steering committee, said. For steering committee member and former LASD school administrator Dennis Throndset, the failure is an emotional and stunning setback. While Throndset is unsure how the students of LASD feel, he is sure that “those in the upper grades are quite
Fourth estate protects your freedoms In the United States, the term fourth estate is sometimes used to place the press alongside the three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. The fourth estate refers to the watchdog role of the press, one that is important to a functioning democracy and the protection of the public. The First Amendment to the Constitution covers five basic freedoms, one of which is the freedom of the press. But that freedom carries with it a responsibility to be the people's watchdog. The traditional newspaper, however, is threatened by shrinking readership, and the watchdog role is not being filled by other forms of media. The decline of local news outlets, even small newspapers, has a profound impact on democratic development and public life at both the individual and community levels. For example, acquisitions of and ownership changes at local TV stations and newspapers led to the nationalization and polarization of political news, having real consequences in citizens’ political knowledge, participation, and voting decisions. The loss of local newspapers due to closing leads to a decrease in local government monitoring. One side effect of this is the potential for increases in municipal borrowing costs. “Generally, newspapers ...perform best when looked at based
on serving critical information needs. This is not surprising given that, unlike TV and radio stations, newspapers and onlineonly outlets are generally more narrowly focused on providing news. Local television stations and radio stations , on the other hand, tend to [be] broader,”
Duke University found in a 2019 study. That study found that local newspapers significantly outperform local TV, radio, and online-only outlets in news production, both in overall story output and in terms of stories that are original, local, or address a critical information need. For instance: Local newspapers accounted for roughly 25 percent of the outlets in the study's sample but made up 50 percent

School building projects get "No" from voters

of the original news stories. Local newspapers accounted for nearly 60 percent of the local news stories in the sample used by Duke – more than all of the other outlet types combined – despite accounting for only 25 percent of the outlets included. Local newspapers account for nearly 60 percent of the stories that meet all three criteria (original, local, addresses a critical information need), with the other outlet categories each accounting for only 10 to 15 percent of the stories that meet all three criteria. Gallup Poll has been monitoring the trust between Americans and the media since 1972. In this time frame, Gallup found that prior to 2004 it was common for a majority of Americans to profess at least some trust in the mass media. Since then, less than half of Americans feel that way. Today only about a third of the U.S. has any trust in the Fourth Estate, a stunning development for an institution designed to inform the public and protect democracy. With the explosion of the mass media over the past decade, especially the popularity of blogs, vlogs and social media, the American population's rejection of the lower journalism standards comes at a crucial time. Opinion-driven reporting is becoming more and more accont. on page 3
dismayed and feeling somewhat rejected”. For the younger students in elementary school, the outcome of the vote may mean little to them as they do not understand the voting process. However, Throndset knows that it will be those kids who will be affected the most by the measure's failure. Throndset explained that when their learning environment is upset by a non-functioning boiler system, their education and performance will suffer. “I commend and thank voters that did support the proposal,” Throndset said. The efforts to inform the community on what would be done and why came in a few forms. One was a flyer listing all the necessary information regarding the project that was sent to almost all families with children attending school in the school district and was available at both schools and distributed at local businesses along with additional flyers spread out in the community on message boards. The 'Vote Yes for the Kids' had a Facebook page that was updated at least weekly. Local radio and the Republican also had features on it. Another was two informational meetings that were held by the steering committee to answer any questions that people could come to or watch on Facebook. Olson noted that there was a poor turnout at the public informational meetings and tours that were held for the public which provided voters the opportunity to see what is happening 'behind the walls' at the elementary. “I think the steering committee
and school board put out the information. It was in the newspaper; it was on social media. I think people just failed to look into this before they voted,” steering committee member Nick Moser commented. The votes failure to pass is a major setback for the schools, especially in the elementary school which was in most need of updating. Olson and fellow school board member, Dawn Kruk, explained that as a result of the vote, the district will now have to find ways to make large scale projects occur with only 3 mills. The majority of the proposed $5 million project was to address the heating system issues within the elementary school. Those issues will still need to be addressed within a few years or there may not be a heating system to keep the elementary school warm. “I don’t think many people in our school district understand the need right now. The heating system needs have been patched and pushed off for many years knowing it’s going to cost a lot to fix. Well, now it’s at the end of the road and we're trying not to push it off any longer,” Olson said. With the current buildings being over 50 years old and 70 percent of respondents to a previous survey directing the board to improve the current buildings rather than build new, the need to make those improvements and replacements of different systems within them is inevitable. With the help of CTS Group over the past year, the school board and building committee attempted to pack-

Cavalier County Commission meeting held
The Cavalier County Commission had a lot to discuss during the meeting on October 1. The commissioners met first with Cavalier County Road Supervisor Terry Johnston and representatives from KLJ to discuss the future road projects that need to take place in Cavalier County. Discussion also included potential funding from both the federal and state levels. Cavalier County Sheriff Greg Fetsch updated the Commission on the department. Fetsch explained that he will be having the older Sheriff's Department pickup be stationed in Munich for use there in times of emergency. The commissioners also reviewed and approved the policing contract with the City of Langdon. Equipment replacement was the majority of Fetsch's report. The need for cameras was discussed by Fetsch as the current cameras are very old and prone to failure in the vehicles. The future of law enforcement will also likely include the use of body cameras, something Fetsch is already planning for in his budget. Cavalier County States Attorney Scott Stewart stated that the replacement of cameras would not only benefit the Sheriff’s Department but assist him in executing his duties as prosecutor for the county. Stewart addressed the Commission on two issues of his own. One of the issues was certifica-
tion of Cavalier County to be a part of a class action lawsuit against pharmaceuticals for the opioid crisis. Stewart explained that notice has been given that the county is part of the class action. He also added that should the county choose, there is the option to opt out of the class action lawsuit. Stewart recommends the county remain in the class action suit. Stewart also discussed the conditional use permit for a tower. A letter had been received from the engineer for the tower stating that the tower does not meet the conditional use permit. The letter did not satisfy the counties request to confirm that should the tower fail it would break in half reducing the total length of the tower by 50 percent once it hits the ground.Stewart advised that company that it will need to provide documentation that states the tower meets the criteria. In Other Business • The commissioners reviewed and adjusted the values for the properties that will be put on the Cavalier County Tax Sale. • The Commission held a public hearing to review and approve zoning regulations within the county. These regulations would apply to rural residential properties that are in townships without a current zoning policy and are not farm/ag exempt. The policies were approved as presented.
Veterans Update
By Leon Hiltner County Veterans Service Officer Fargo National Cemetery taking applications for interment The Fargo National Cemetery, which was dedicated on September 7, 2019, is now accepting applications for interment. Interments are expected to begin mid-October. For more information on the Fargo National Cemetery or to establish a claim and begin the application process, see their website at: https:// www.nd.gov/veterans/benefits/ burial-fargo-national-cemetery Do You Have Memorabilia from the Vietnam War? In an effort to account for GIs missing from the Vietnam War, VFW officials want veterans of that war to offer a goodwill gesture. Instead of donating or throwing away souvenirs from their tours, VFW suggests that veterans should turn them over to the federal agency in charge of accounting for U.S. troops still missing from the war. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (https/lwww. dpaa.mif) is gathering enemy artifacts that U.S. troops collected during the war, such as personal effects, wallets, family photos and letters. DPAA also is interested in battle maps or burial locations that would help the Vietnamese account for the estimated 300,000 of their missing. As of July 26, DPAA listed 1,587 U.S. troops as missing from the Vietnam War. That figure includes 1,246 in Vietnam, 286 in Laos, 48 in Cambodia and seven in China. VFW officials believe that to fulfill the organization’s priority goal of accounting for all the missing, VFW

The American Legion, which was chartered by Congress, created the ALA. For that reason, the ALA operates as a separate corporation and does not need congressional approval for an eligibility change. The American Legion’s bylaws have always set the eligibility requirements of the ALA. “We are happy to welcome eligible male spouses of veterans and service members to the American Legion Family,” ALA National President Nicole Clapp said. “This is consistent with our longstanding
legacy of embracing military families and supporting them any way we can.” The ALA is taking applications for new potential members as of Sept. 1. Source Legion.org/dispatch What to know about the LEGION Act On July 30, President Trump signed a bill declaring that the United States has been in a state of war since Dec. 7, 1941. The American Legion sought the declaration to honor approximately 1,600 U.S. service members killed or wounded in previously undeclared periods of war. The LEGION (Let Everyone Get Involved In Opportunities for National Service) Act opens the door for up to 4.2 million veterans to access American Legion programs and benefits for which they previously had not been eligible. Here are some things to know: • What does this mean for veterans who previously were not eligible to join the American Legion? Veterans who were honorably discharged but whose service did not fall under the previous defined war eras may now join the American Legion immediately. Eligible members may sign up at legion.org/join. • How does this differentiate the American Legion from AMVETS? The American Legion’s eligibility criteria states that veterans must have served during wartime. When Congress decides the United States is no longer in a state of war, the Legion’s membership eligibility period will close, while AMVETS will still be open to those who served. • How does this affect the American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion? Auxiliary membership is open to grandmothers, mothers, sisters, spouses, and direct and adopted female descendants of eligible veterans. SAL eligibility criteria changes along with that of the Legion. Any son or grandson of a living American Legion member may join the SAl. Sons and grandsons of deceased veterans also are eligible. • Who can I contact for more information about this change as it applies to membership and recruiting? Contact the national membership division. To find the representative in your state, visit legion.org/membership/contactus. Source The American Legion Magazine October 2019

Page 4 – Monday, October 7, 2019 “First Amendment binds all American freedoms” by Jack Miles, executive editor of The Richmond Daily News and The Excelsior Springs Daily Standard Freedom of the press, of speech, of religion, of assembly and to petition the government are woven, like stars in the flag, into the fabric of the First Amendment. The blood of patriots is the seed of the Republic. The founders and those who followed in their footsteps invested their lives in this country. They assured there would be freedom of religion, and from religion, so the government could neither bless nor ban what anyone believes, as occurs under radical theocracies and communist regimes. The founders secured freedom of speech, to assemble and to petition the government to redress grievances, which is denied by China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and others that fear opposition. They also created one freedom that binds and protects all others, and has done so from before the founding of the republic – freedom of the press. More than four decades prior to the day when Congress ratified the Constitution, colonial printer John Peter Zenger in 1733 began to publish scathing-but-true stories about the misdeeds of New York’s haughty royal governor. Zenger languished in prison for nearly 10 months for the crime of truth telling about a politician. But Zenger and his attorney made jurors understand a new concept – truth is a defense – and Zenger went free. Shielded by truth, journalists for nearly three centuries have been free to jab their pens at those who threaten the First Amendment. There are myriad examples involving religion alone. They include news reports about Congress trying to disenfranchise Mormons in the late 1880s and extend to modern times and the painful recogni-
tion that even vile speech, such as that practiced by Westboro Baptist Church, must be permitted as a religious liberty. Journalists help keep us free to question, learn and disagree. Now, as in the beginning, freedom of the press abides in the courage of men and women who report the news, whether those reports arise from between white columns in Washington, D.C., or beside the fountain at Lions Lake in Washington, Missouri. A reporter’s work is often more routine than grandiose. On most days, reporters gather police and fire statistics; they report on the scandal de jour and the zoning board meeting; and they describe a range of human experiences, from a walk through a conservatory alive with iridescent blue morpho butterflies to a father and daughter found drowned on the Rio Grande’s muddy banks. But not all journalists complete routine days. A bullet killed Ernie Pyle in a safe zone on Ie Shima during World War II; he is one of many reporters who died to bring the public truth about war. Last year, in Annapolis, Maryland, a man who rejected having his criminal record reported walked into The Capital Gazette and killed five employees. Routine days are not guaranteed. Seasoned reporters understand the importance of safeguarding the First Amendment. They know, also, that though telling the truth is made more difficult in these topsy-turvy times – when truth is flippantly called “lies” and lies are defended as truth – if they do not do their duty, then no one will. From time to time, explosions of criticism and unfettered hate may around them rage, but because reporters are loyal to the duties of a free press, including to challenge government leaders and policies, each of the First Amendment freedoms continues to wave like stripes in a flag emerging in the dawn’s early light.

An opportunist’s dream… We hear about scams all the time. Many of them are telephone scams that annoy the dickens out of us, but they seem impossible to trace. There’s also the theft of identitywhich is not only annoying, it can destroy a person’s life. There have been reports of people losing tens of thousands of dollars to scammers who get hold of bank information and use it to their full advantage. Well, last Saturday, it happened to us. Our farm account got hacked and $495 was removed before the bank got smart and put a temporary hold on the account. There were actually six transactions: three for $126 each, two for $51 each and an Uber ticket for $19.05. When I called the bank on Monday, I asked how someone can make a transaction without a card or a check? If I go into a retail store and purchase something, I have to provide a card or write out a check. I have never been able to just rattle off a 16-digit credit card number to pay for something. Besides, you need an expiry date and the three or four-digit security code number on the back of the card. I asked how someone can get all that information, despite us being vigilant. Unfortunately, it happens all the time. In this case, we traced the transactions to a rental store in New York City. OK, I was at a farmers market in Minot on Saturday, and my wife was home with the grandchildren.

Upside Down Under Besides neither one of us has ever been in New York City. But it still begs the question, where did this shyster get the information to make those transactions? My only guess is it was someone who was working in a business in which we used our card. They either wrote down or memorized the numbers and were able to make purchases. You’d be surprised how these opportunists work. When my brother was in the Marine Corps, someone behind him in a clothing line memorized his social security number when supply asked, used his name, and when he got into all kinds of trouble, the MPs arrested my brother for several crimes committed at Camp Lejune, N.C. The only problem with that was my brother was never at Camp Lejune. His assignment was Camp Pendleton, Calif. These credit and debit cards are so convenient. Hardly any of us carry cash anymore. We are always using plastic. But along with that convenience comes the risk of being hacked and ripped off. When it happens to someone else, we talk about it, curse the bad guys and move on. But when it happens to us, it’s as if we want to draw all our money out of the bank and stuff it in a mattress just so the guys in black hats don’t get it. This New York City thing is really puzzling, but the worst thing happened to us last year in January when we got a letter from the IRS saying someone filed taxes on our behalf, and before a check for $11,000 was issued, the IRS stopped payment on the check. How’s that for a change of pace? The IRS was actually the good guy in this case
and raised the red flag, knowing we didn’t have $11,000 coming in tax returns. A couple of weeks later, we did receive a check for $11,000, and when I opened the envelope, I said, “Party!” Unfortunately, my wife who works in a bank, said we had to pay it back. We did, and to be real serious about this matter, it took 10 months to get it all straightened out before we got the actual tax return we had coming. Stay vigilant in your transactions. Be wary of people on the phone asking for information. All too often, people, especially the elderly, get caught up in these illegal traps. And honestly, I can see how easy that can happen. A bright and cheery young lady who calls herself Wendy Wackerman calls from Rochester, N.Y., and tells you that if you don’t purchase two Applebees gift cards and send them to a Yonkers, N.Y., address, the cops will take you to jail and throw away the key. Sometimes those threats appear to be real, but there’s always a clue you can pick up that will give it away. For instance, the IRS will never threaten you on the phone. They will instead come to your house and take all that money out of your mattress. Just be very careful when you make any kind of credit or debit card transaction. You just never know who might be watching. There are people out there whose job it is to rip you off. That’s all they do is steal from people. Wouldn’t that be a conversation piece during the holidays?
“Times may change, but the need to support a free press has not” by Kathy Kiely journalism professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism Once upon a time, having a job at a newspaper meant working in one of the most imposing buildings in town, inhaling the acrid aroma of fresh ink and the dusty breath of cheap newsprint and feeling miniearthquakes under our feet every time the presses started to roll. For those of us old enough to remember those days, National Newspaper Week 2019 could be one big, fat elegiac nostalgia trip. Today, many newspapers are ditching the imposing buildings for low-rent storefronts and have outsourced the printing. Those could be the newspapers that are left. My hometown had three daily newspapers when I was a kid. Now it’s down to one that shows up in print just three days a week. Youngstown, Ohio just became the first major American city without any newspaper at all. As University of North Carolina professor Penny Abernathy has documented in her groundbreaking research on the news desertification of America, upwards of 1,300 communities that had newspapers of their own in 2004 now have none. But if we ink-stained wretches fall prey to the temptation to spend National Newspaper Week crying in our beers, we’d be wasting an

opportunity. Real newshounds don’t wallow in the cozy memories of a sepiastained past. We are about the now and the next. Our job has always been to help our communities recognize the today’s challenges of today and turn them into the tomorrow’s promise. Yes, it’s awkward that of today’s biggest challenges involves us —the newshounds. We’ve always been better at telling your story than telling our own. Yet this is your story too: The future of democracy is inextricably bound up with the future of a free press. So here, dear readers, are some facts you need to know: Newspapers are more than a medium Increasingly, for both younger and older readers, that low-grade paper with come-off-on-yourhands ink is being replaced by bits and bytes that light up your phone or tablet or computer. What can’t be replaced, however, and what should never be made obsolete is the primary function that newspapers have traditionally performed: Deploying small armies of reporters, photographers and editors to find and produce stories on everything from natural disasters to political scandals to your neighbor’s golden wedding anniversary, to catch the mistakes before they make it into print and to correct them when they do (hey, we’re human). You never paid for news That 25 or 35 cents you used to plunk into a newspaper box didn’t came close to covering what it cost to produce what we newsroom denizens like to call “the daily miracle.” The high cost of public service journalism has always been subsidized by advertisers. And the big dogs in the economic equation were not the car dealers or department stores who bought those big, full-page displays. At most newspapers, classified ads produced the lion’s share of revenues. The internet broke that model. Newspaper advertising revenue has nosedived to levels that are less than one-third of what they were in 2005, a study from the Pew Research Center found. The result is all too sadly predictable: newspapers employed fewer than half the number of people in 2016 that they did at the beginning of this century, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Social media ≠ news. And it’s not free Readers might not notice the hollowing out of newsrooms because today, we have, if anything, too much information at our disposal. The same digital revolution that blew a hole in newsroom budgets and turned Craigslist and eBay into advertising behemoths also created new paths to publication. According to a 2018 survey by the Pew Research Center, more Americans now
get their news from social media than from newspapers. There’s something to be said for no longer having to work for a company that could afford an army of editors and truck drivers to get your voice heard. Historically, the owners of imposing buildings and giant printing presses have been rich white guys, and that had an unquestionably distorting effect on the news. But not everyone who’s publishing via smartphone and YouTube is a promising writer or videographer giving voice to underserved communities. A lot are peddlers of propaganda, snake oil, disinformation and dissension. Nor is social media as free as it seems: We pay by providing our personal data every time we log on and, often, every time we make a purchase IRL (in real life). Social media sites that data to deliver information that’s likely to keep you on their sites: A resident of Moberly, Missouri who shops at Cabela’s and is Facebook “friends” with Donald Trump supporters is likely to get a very different news feed on Facebook than one who lives in New York City, listens to NPR and “likes” former President Barack Obama’s page. It’s a recipe for never having your received opinions challenged or your mind changed. You can do something about this OK, I will cop to waxing sentimental for the rumble of the printing presses underfoot. But I’m not arguing that we should turn off the internet and replace it with ink and paper. What I do think readers can do this National Newspaper Week is become more mindful about their information diet. Right now, a lot of us are living on nutrition-free snacks. There are still plenty of sources of whole-grain news out there. Some of them, are non-profit news organizations; some are launching web start-ups to fill the gap left when legacy media outlets folded. And some are still at those legacy outlets, trying hard to find new revenue streams. Here are some ways to recognize purveyors of real news: Do they sometimes make you a bit uncomfortable by raising doubts about what you thought to be true? Do they make it easy for you to reach a real human being if you have a question or a complaint? Do they correct their mistakes? Do they ask you to subscribe or donate? Because gathering facts costs. Yes, supporting real news is a more expensive proposition for readers than it used to be, but it’s cheap when you consider what you’re really paying for. As my former Gannett News Service colleague, University of Kentucky journalism professor Al Cross put in a bumper sticker he had commissioned a couple years back, “Support democracy: Subscribe.”

The Langdon Area High School Student Council has been working to prepare for the 2019 LAS Homecoming, which is slated for next week. The high school will kick off the week by showing their patriotism in “’Murica Day.” Monday will also include the traditional Junior and Senior competitions as the boys will battle it out in a volleyball match. Monday will also feature home JH football, away C squad VB and away JV football games. Tuesday will have students and staff feeling tropical as they dress Hawaiian. At 1:00 p.m. there is a presentation by Curt Tomasevicz, and at approximately 1:45 p.m. students will make their way to the Langdon Area High School Gymnasium for the coronation of the 2019 Homecoming king and queen. Tuesday evening there are VB matches in Rolla. On Wednesday afternoon, the Student Council’s Event Committee will display their hard work in the coordination of the class versus class competitions. “I love watching the class games because of how involved we all get and how much of a competition we all make it,” said senior Elise Ramberg. Each class will be dressed for the challenge, with the designations as follows: Seniors - white; Juniors
- black; Sophomores - pink; Freshman - blue; 8th Grade - green; 7th Grade - red; Staff - gray. Wednesday and Thursday are also parent-teacher conference nights for Langdon Area Middle/High School. Thursday morning will feature the junior and senior girls showing off their football skills in the powder puff football game. The students will be dressing as either a VSCO girl or a FRAT boy. Friday will keep everyone on high alert with a number of activities taking place. The hallways will be filled with Cardinal gear as students sport their red, black, and white in support of our undefeated Cardinal football team! The parade is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. from the high school building. Businesses are encouraged to enter a float into the parade to show their support for the Cardinals as they take on the Carrington Cardinals. The council is asking that businesses who intend to enter a parade float let them know by emailing kayla.lee@k12.nd.us at their earliest possible convenience. Immediately following the parade, the Student Council invites everyone to attend a pep rally in the high school gymnasium. The Cardinal football team will take on Carrington at 7:00 p.m. Fol-
lowing the game, students grades 9-12 are invited to attend the annual Homecoming dance. “The LAHS Student Council is committed to providing safe and fun activities for our student body in the hopes that we may deter students from negative practices such as underage drinking,” said council president Elise Ramberg. According to the council, one of the ways that they encourage attendance of the dance is by providing valuable door prizes for those who attend. “We would like to thank all of the area businesses for their generous donations to student council which allowed us to purchase door prizes for the homecoming dance,” said Ramberg. Congratulations are in order to the following Homecoming court candidates, who were nominated by their peers. Seniors nominated Jessi Gellner, daughter of Darren and Lisa Gellner, and Hunter Feil, son of Ross Feil and Jody Feil. Juniors nominated Savannah Ullyott, daughter of Darin Ullyott and Cami Ullyott, and Sidney Ullyott, son of Darin Ullyott and Cami Ullyott. Sophomores nominated Lizzie Muhs, daughter of Cheryl and the late Mike Muhs, and Noah Anderson, son of Alisa and Shayne Woolverton.

No shots? No record? No school The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) is reminding parents to make sure their children are up-to-date on immunizations. North Dakota state law requires students in grades kindergarten through 12 to meet a minimum number of required immunizations before they can attend school. Children who are not in compliance, either up-to-date or have a signed exemption form, by October 1 will be excluded from school for not meeting requirements. “Ensuring children are up-todate on immunizations is the best way to keep students healthy and stop the spread of diseases such as measles, mumps, and pertussis in our schools,” said Jenny Galbraith, epidemiologist with the NDDoH. “Children who are not immunized are not only at risk of becoming ill from a variety of diseases, but are also able to transmit diseases to others, including those who may not be able to be vaccinated due to various medical conditions.” If you haven’t done so, check with your health care provider to find out which vaccines your child needs. Once your child is up-todate, be sure to get a copy of his or her immunization record to submit to the school. You can find more information about which vaccines are required for school at www.
ndhealth.gov/immunize. Cost should not be a barrier to getting children up-to-date on immunizations. Children who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines can receive vaccine at no cost through the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC). Contact your health care provider or local public health unit if you believe your child could be eligible for VFC vaccines. For more information on school immunization requirements, contact Jenny Galbraith, NDDoH, at 701-328-2335, or visit www. ndhealth.gov/immunize.

From the Pastor’s Desk
Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Pastor Sue Kana-Mackey of Langdon Presbyterian Church
Standing on the promises of Christ my King, through eternal ages let his praises ring-- “Glory in the highest,”: I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God. Early in our country’s history, an exhausted traveler came to the banks of the Mississippi River for the first time. There was no bridge. It was early winter, and the river was covered with ice. The man wondered if he dared to cross over, uncertain if the ice could bear his weight. But night was approaching, and he needed to reach the other side. Finally, afraid and hesitant, he began to cautiously creep across the
ice on his hands and knees. He thought this would distribute his weight and prevent the ice from breaking beneath him. Halfway across, he heard the sound of singing behind him. Out of the dusk came a man, driving a horse-drawn load of coal across the ice, merrily singing as he went his way. Here he was on his hands and knees, trembling with fear that the ice was not strong enough to bear him up! And there went the man, his horses, his sleigh, and his load of coal, upheld by the same ice on which he was creeping! Like this weary traveler, some
of us only creep upon the promises of God. God promises to uphold us, give us strength, and be everpresent. God promises forgiveness, grace, and never-ending love. God promises abundant and eternal life. Let us believe these promises and take God at His word! Let us not creep upon these promises as if they were too fragile to uphold us. Confident that God is as good as His word, let us stand upon the promises of God! Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, by the living Word of God I shall prevail, standing on the promises of God.

Obituaries
Funeral services were held on Saturday, September 28, 2019, at Zion Lutheran Church in Mohall for Joseph Paul Pederson, 68, of Mohall, who died Wednesday, September 25, 2019, at his home. Burial will be at Mohall Community Cemetery, Mohall. Joseph was born March 19, 1951, in Langdon, to Sidney and Margaret (Klemisch) Pederson. He attended St. Alphonsus School in Langdon and graduated from Border Central High School (Sarles/Calvin) in 1969. After graduation, he entered the U.S. Army and served a tour in Viet Nam. He was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. After the military, he returned to the Sarles area where he and Marilyn Oakland were married in 1973. They and their two children, Nathan and Noelle, lived in Sarles for 17 years. They farmed, and later, Joe was a school custodian with his own floor care service. He belonged to the Sarles American Legion and was commander for several years. He was also a member of the George T. Taylor American Legion Post #52, Mohall. In 1992, the Pedersons moved to Mohall. He worked for the John Cook Farms. During his vacation time, he would travel to Kansas to custom harvest (and pheasant hunt) with his friend, Ken “Butch” Jones. This was a 40+-year tradition. Most recently, he worked
as a truck driver for CHS. Keeping the company’s white Peterbilt polished up at all times was his hobby. In 2016, his pride and joy, Benjamin Tobias Pederson, was born. He became a grandpa, spending several weekends a month in Fargo with his little boy who called him “Pa.” They loved to wrestle and laugh and make T-Rex noises at each other. He was surprised to learn that he loved retirement. Everyone will remember him for his sense of humor: he had no filter and was applauded for that! He was also applauded for his work ethic which he applied to every job he ever held. The jokes and the hard work helped him cope with the stress of PTSD. Therefore, the family has designated all memorials to be donated to veterans’ organizations. Every Caribou Coffee shop across the state knew Joe Pederson. In walked this Marlboro Man with the hat, vest and boots. Then, he would order: “A white chocolate mocha latte, with whipped cream and sprinkles. And don’t put that bean on top.” That’s a combo no one forgot, and that pretty much sums up Joseph P. Pederson. Joseph is survived by his wife, Marilyn Pederson; son Nathan (Lori) Pederson, West Fargo; daughter Noelle (John Loggins) Pederson, San Diego, Calif.; grandson Benjamin Pederson, West Fargo; sister Karen Ballweg, Fargo; brother Duane Pederson, Alaska. He was preceded in death by: his parents; brother Tony Pederson and sister Linda Pederson. Brose Funeral Home of Mohall was in charge of arrangements.

Madelyn Wirth was born February 10, 1924, in Munich to Michael and Martha (Janowski) Wirth. She graduated from Munich High School in 1943. While growing up, she enjoyed the company and shenanigans of 11 brothers and sisters. She married the love of her life, Michael I. Hoffmann, on September 6, 1943. She and Michael made their home in Munich and raised two children, Dale and Maureen. In her early years she was a popular cook at the Munich School and also cleaned houses. While in Munich, she was an active member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church serving as a member of the Altar Society and Christian Mothers. She enjoyed golfing, bowling, gardening, and crossword puzzles. She was a wonderful cook, and her specialties included homemade caramel rolls, ice cream, and lasagna. She loved to play cards and spend time with family and friends. She and Michael were avid Munich Magician fans and spent many hours attending high school basketball and baseball games. In 2004, they moved to Parkwood Place in Grand Forks. She lost her husband of 62 years in 2006. She
continued to enjoy the companionship at Parkwood Place and spent countless hours doing puzzles with her neighbors. In 2018 she moved to the Good Samaritan Center in Larimore. She always loved visits from her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Madelyn will be missed by her daughter, Maureen (Gary) Mork of Petersburg, and daughter-inlaw, MaryBeth Hoffmann of Grand Forks; her grandchildren: Rayanne Hoffmann, Ryan (Cheryl) Hoffmann, Ronda (Jamie) Ness, Aaron (Nicole Kirby) Mork, Tracy Mork, Ashley (Tom) Demers, Susan (Josh) Dahl, Margaret (Dusty) Whiteside; sisters: Geraldine Tholkes, Martha Rose Henderson, and Lois Dawley; sisters-in-law: Mary Frances Becker, Agnes (Joe) Hanigan, and Sister Philip Zimmer; and brother-inlaw Eugene (Sharon) Zimmer.

Build your financial foundation with life insurance “I know I need it, but I don’t want to think about it now.” This is a common response when the topic of life insurance comes up, yet it remains a product that could provide a strong foundation for your financial goals. The primary benefit of life insurance is to provide for your family, helping them meet daily expenses so they can continue the activities of daily life should the unexpected happen to you. Proceeds from life insurance can be used by families to pay for ongoing expenses, like credit card and mortgage bills. The proceeds can also help cover daily necessities like groceries, gas, and other expenditures, pay for college tuition and allow families to keep commitments to one another. Without adequate life insurance coverage, many families would be under great financial duress to meet the ongoing financial obligations of
Importance of getting your flu shot this season Hello, my name is Zach. I am a pharmacy student from NDSU in my last year of pharmacy school. Two years ago, I had just learned how to give a flu shot. I was starting to give them at my job and a patient asked, “Why do I need to get a flu shot every year?” I told them the flu mutates every year, so every year the flu that comes through our area is a new flu or changed from last year’s strain. It’s like your body has never seen it before. Other vaccine preventable diseases are less likely to mutate so a few shots are enough to cover us for a decade or even for our whole life. Having to give a vague answer like that made me realize how little I knew about the flu vaccination process. Here’s what I’ve learned since then: The yearly flu vaccine is a miracle of science, medicine, and human teamwork. The yearly shot is made up of 3 or 4 different flu vaccines made to combat different strains of the flu. All year hundreds of collection sites test thousands of samples to see which strains of the virus are causing illness. They then go on to find which strains are spreading fastest and causing the worst illnesses. This data compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO) is given to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a “flu forecast” to decide which strains should be included in the flu vaccine. These predictions are crucial for making an effective match for the circulating strains of influenza every year. The vaccine contains 2 strains of influenza A, an H1N1 strain, an H3N2 strain, and one or two strains of influenza B. Strains selected by the FDA are given to companies who make the vaccine. The flu vaccine is most often created in chicken eggs. The virus is grown in the eggs, collected, and then inactivated (killed). The antigens are then purified to be used in the vaccine. An antigen is substance which induces an immune response in the body. With the flu we often target the proteins on the outside of the virus. These antigens are what prime your immune system to respond to the virus when you are exposed to it. I often tell people a vaccine is like a fire drill for your immune system. There is no danger of fire (sickness) with a fire drill, but it teaches you what to do if the situation (infectious disease exposure) ever happens. After administration the vaccine takes about two weeks to create immunity. During this time your body is making antibodies to the flu virus. After two weeks, if you get exposed to the influenza virus your body will have a head start because your body will not need to take the time to discover the virus and then make antibodies to fight it off. Once your body

has antibodies to this year’s flu virus it will more than likely prevent you from getting this seasons flu. Even if the vaccine does not completely prevent you from getting sick with influenza it can make the symptoms of disease milder and shorten the length of time you are sick. Influenza vaccine has also been shown to greatly reduce the risk of being hospitalized with influenza. A common myth is that the flu shot will cause someone to become sick with influenza. Inactivated vaccines cannot give you the illness they are preventing. People who feel ill after a vaccine may have been exposed to the virus in the 2 weeks before their body had finished developing antibodies or may be simply experiencing some mild side effects of being vaccinated. After receiving an influenza vaccine pain and redness at the injection site, mild body aches and potentially a very
mild fever may occur and are signs that your immune system is hard at work. These mild side effects are not indications that you are becoming sick with influenza. The flu is spread person to person, so if you are immunized you will be unable to spread it. This means the flu vaccine not only protects the person getting the vaccine and but also those around them. Everyone 6 months and older should get a yearly flu vaccination. People who should not get a flu shot are those less than 6 months of age and those who are allergic to the flu vaccine. People who are actively sick should wait until after they are feeling better to be vaccinated.

Financial Corner with Sarah their new situation. Having financial resources available after a loss can give families the time they need to grieve and figure out what their future looks like. Life insurance may also protect one’s spouse against sharp reductions in future pension and Social Security payments by replacing assets cut short by a premature death. Careful preparation and reviewing all your accounts with a financial professional can help you understand your pension coverage and whether or not you are prepared for the future. Life insurance can help beyond the home, too. For example, life insurance can help business owners and others with significant assets pass those assets on to their loved ones in a tax-efficient manner. It also enables people to support nonprofit organizations through charitable gifts. Life insurance may not be a popular topic, but the security it offers brings a level of comfort that many people can’t do without. In addition, many people will find that life insurance coverage can be a key component of a retirement program as they plan for their long-term financial goals. None of us can control whether we will have tomorrow, but protecting the people in our lives is something we can take control of today.

Longest road trip of the year turns into happy ride home as Cards crush W-N-G Cards show a strong run game with 260 yards and 7 TDs By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
A nice, easy 130 mile drive is what the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals had in front of them when they went to play in Westhope on September 27. The Cards played another great game to beat Westhope-Newburg-Glenburn 48-6. With the win over the Sioux, the Cardinals move their record to an unbeaten 6-0 and 4-0 in Region 2A games. Langdon-Edmore-Munich is finishing off the home portion of their regular season schedule with two games, hosting Bottineau October 4 then entertaining Carrington for both Homecoming and Senior Night on October 11. The Cards will wrap up the regular season at Grafton on October 19. In their game at Westhope, the Cardinals set up their first score with the help of a 41 yard kickoff return by Simon Romfo, who later scored on a two yard TD plunge to open the scoring. This was followed by a Grant Romfo 2-point conversion run. On the ensuing possession for W-N-G, Cards freshman defensive tackle Jack Romfo made a great play on a short pass, coming up with an interception. Grant Romfo turned that into the Cardinals second touchdown on a
short run which was followed by a 2-point pass from Simon Romfo to Cooper Zimmer. From there the Cardinals employed a very good ground game with the Romfo twins and Noah Anderson all running hard. Grant Romfo and Anderson both had career days rushing the football. Grant finished with 137 yards and four touchdowns, two of them on highlight reel runs, and 92 yards and a TD, a bruising scamper from 19 yards out. Other highlights in the game were a 45 yard pass from Simon Romfo to Zimmer to set up a score, and Carter Tetrault made a perfect read on a Sioux pass to come up with an interception. Defensively the Cardinals first team defense, again, did not allow a point with W-N-G scoring on a fourth and goal two yard run against the Cardinals second team. Simon Romfo passed for 142 yards, 44 of those on a long pass to Anderson. Cardinals coach Josh Krivarchka said after the game, "Westhope showed some things defensively to try and take away our passing game, so we saw some opportunities to run the ball. Grant and Noah both ran hard, and they are tough to bring down when they get going. It was another nice team win for us."

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
The Mystery of the Boyd Block Rock Let’s start this week with something that isn’t really sports worthy, but still an interesting story. I do a talk show weekdays during the 1 p.m. hour on KNDK 1080, and something came up that piqued my curiosity. Shannon Duerr was our guest from the Cavalier County Job Development Authority, and she is also on the Boyd Block Committee. What that committee has been doing the last several years, is to keep improving the lot where the Boyd Block building stood just north of the Langdon Eagles Club. If you have attended Musicfest within the last 10 years or so that’s where it is. Anyway, the old Boyd Block rock or stone sign from the top of the building was saved when the building burned to the ground years ago. That sign is now deteriorating somewhat, and they want to repair portions of it. The issue is that know what seems to know what it is made out of to fix it. At first they thought it was limestone, but that was incorrect. They actually sent in a sample to the state geology lab and believe or not the results were inconclusive. I mean, what is it made out of... Krytonite? Asteroid? If you have any ideas on what it could be, please contact Shannon or any Boyd Block member. It’s a big part of Langdon’s history, and they
want to keep it in tact. Homecoming and Senior Night coming for Cardinals Football A big week ahead is coming for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team. It’s Homecoming Week for the Cards, and a number of great activities will be held at the school including the King and Queen Coronation, along with dress up days throughout the week. The big game will happen on Oct. 11, where the Cardinals will host Carrington. If will also be Senior Night that evening, as this will be the Cards last regular season home game. Nine seniors -- Noah Anderson, Jackson Delvo, Hunter Feil, Jesse Fetsch, Sean Gette, Wyatt Kartes, Brett Myers, Peyton Ullyott and Sid Ullyott all will recognized before the game with their parents. It’s crazy that we are already getting to this point of the season, as it seems it just began. Their will also be a Homecoming volleyball match for the Lady Cards, where they will host St. John on Oct. 10. We hope everyone enjoys a fun Homecoming week. Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament ramps up the competition We will close this week by inviting everyone to come out to the annual Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament, to held Oct. 12 at the Langdon High School Gym. This years 10 team tourney has been charged up with a number of new, highly competitive teams. In this years field are the top three teams from last years State B Volleyball
Brush with the Bunch
In Amy Phillips‘ words in her report as to ‘Where are my paintings hanging?‘ “A couple of years ago I started experimenting with abstract art using an acrylic pour and found it very addictive. One of my first paintings found a home with Terri Hennessy, the daughter of Allan and Laurel Smith of rural Walhalla, and lives in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. After sharing how to do a dirty pour with the Brush Bunch, several were made, and the paintings appeared at the Brush Bunch Art Show in 2018 as part of a quilt display at which four were sold locally and one went to Wales. Due to the interest of the North Border Walhalla students attending the show I had the privilege of spending a day at the school doing an acrylic pour with the grade school students. Of course, that could not be the end- I wasn‘t through doing acrylic pours. Several more have sold at the Gorge Gallery and remain in the area. One of my double framed string pull paintings (like the one shown) went to Rolla as part of a fundraiser.“ The fundraiser Amy mentioned was for Kyle Hardy, grandson of the late Lyle and JoAnn, son of Jack and Becky. I checked with Jack Hardy of Rolla, and Amy‘s painting was purchased by Colleen Bertsch of Lake Upsilon, and the painting is on display in her home. You may check out some of Amy‘s work on Facebook and on the Internet under Amy Phillips Artistry. Thanks, Amy, for the interesting report. Our paintings and photography are getting around; let‘s see how many more places we can cover. by Leo Beauchamp
Tournament in Thompson, Oakes and Langdon-Edmore-Munich. Add to that some great clubs from Hillsboro-Central Valley, Midkota, Richland and even Shiloh Christian is coming up from Bismarck to play in the tourney this year. Some local teams in North Border and Cavalier will help fill out the pools, and both of those teams also have been having nice seasons as well. We asked Cardinals coach Rich Olson about this years tournament and he said, “We lost some teams to a Grafton tourney that is the same day as ours, so we put the word out across the region to find some teams and got a lot of great responses. I feel that this will be the most competitive tournament that we have ever had in the history of the event, and hope that people come out and watch some very entertaining volleyball”. The action will get underway at 9:00 a.m. on Oct. 12, with the semifinals and finals beginning at four. Hear the semis and title matches on KNDK 1080 and myborderland. com. “See ya!” next week!
In a tradition that was started a couple of years ago, the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals junior varsity volleyball team played two Region 4 matches at home versus Dunseith on September 26 then at Minnewaukan versus Four WindsMinnewaukan on October 1. The reason the JV plays these matches (the team also mixed-in a couple of varsity players) is to give more girls more court time against a varsity opponent while also allowing the varsity team to play a couple more non-conferences dates to help get them ready to roll for the postseason. This plan worked out well once again this year, with the JV/V Lady Cards beating the Dragons 258, 25-9 and 25-18 then winning over the Lady Indians 25-13, 25-13 and 25-17. The junior varsity team also won the B Squad Tournament that Langdon hosted on September 28. In their two Region 4 matches, the Cardinals were led in the win over Dunseith by senior Brooke Bakke, who had a fantastic overall match with a team leading eight kills and eight service aces, while tying for the team lead in digs with McKenna Belle with each girl getting 12. Morgan Thielbar led the way with 17 assists as setter while
Jalynn Swanson had six. Thielbar also had six aces. Marlee Hetletved, Cora Badding and Malori Pletcher each had six kills, while Badding also had two stuff blocks. Against the Lady Indians, the Cards were paced by Pletcher with nine kills, followed by Hetletved with seven, Bakke with six and Badding with five. Langdon-EdmoreMunich had 19 service aces versus FW-M led by Bakke and Thielbar with seven each and Pletcher with three. Belle led the squad with 11 digs, followed by Bakke with 10 and six each from Hetletved and Raelynn Klindt. Thielbar finished with 13 assists. The Cardinals varsity was to host Grafton on October 3, but due to the funeral for a Grafton School staff member, that match has been moved to Nov. 1. After playing the Des Lacs Invitational Tournament on October 4-5, the Lady Cards have a busy week ahead, playing at Rolla on October 8 then hosting St. John on October 10. Then it's the Langdon Invitational Tournament on October 12, with teams coming from Shiloh Christian, Richland, Hillsboro-Central Valley, Oakes, Thompson, North Border and Cavalier. This year's tourney will have the competition ramped up, so it should very entertaining to watch.

From Field to Fork: Celebrating Pasta Month For nearly three decades the North Dakota Wheat Commission has celebrated National Pasta Month in October as a way to recognize the state’s dedicated durum producers and the associated durum milling and pasta manufacturing industries. To help celebrate Pasta Month and educate consumers on the importance of durum and pasta production, the Commission will be partnering with statewide media to provide durum and pasta facts and trivia. Participating newspapers and radio stations will provide opportunities for readers and listeners to win a pasta prize package. This year’s theme – From Field to Fork – focuses on the process of bringing the durum from the field to the pasta on consumer’s plates. Durum is a unique crop. Production is relatively small compared to other classes of wheat, accounting for only three percent of total U.S. production on average. The area where it is grown is also somewhat concentrated – the bulk of acres in western North Dakota and eastern Montana. A smaller acreage of Desert Durum is grown in Arizona and California. Durum prefers drier conditions and
a less humid environment due to disease susceptibility and the need to preserve color and hard count during harvest, a main reason why the geographical production area is smaller. North Dakota durum acres have declined in recent years due to both local and world dynamics, however, the producers growing durum remain as dedicated as ever to producing a quality product to make premium pasta products. On average producers in North Dakota grow enough durum to make about two billion pounds of pasta! Durum is the hardest of all wheats and its rich amber color, high protein, and high gluten content make it the gold standard for producing premium pasta products. Producing durum with those strong quality traits can be difficult in years when weather isn’t ideal in producing a good crop, something both producers and the industry must work through. Durum is milled into semolina and mixed with water to form various pasta shapes. Pasta can be combined with delicious sauces, vegetables and various proteins to make a wide variety of nutritious pasta dishes. In the Mediterranean
Burgum proclaims October as REAL ID Month; NDDOT offers ‘REAL ID’ on select Saturdays Gov. Doug Burgum was joined by officials from the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to proclaim October as North Dakota REAL ID Month. This designation is a reminder for North Dakota residents that starting Oct. 1, 2020, travelers will need a REAL ID-compliant form of identification to board a commercial flight or gain access to secure federal facilities, including military bases, nuclear facilities and some federal offices. Now is the time for residents to plan ahead to ensure compliance with REAL ID requirements. REAL ID is intended to improve the reliability and accuracy of driver’s licenses and identification cards while inhibiting the ability of terrorists and others to evade detection by using fraudulent identification. “For the convenience, safety and security of all air travelers, we strongly encourage North Dakotans to act now to obtain a REAL ID. Don’t wait until the last minute. We want everyone to be able to travel when they want to travel and to arrive at their destination safely,” Burgum said. The governor’s proclamation of October as North Dakota REAL ID Month can be viewed here. To get a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, residents will need to make an in-person visit to a North Dakota driver’s license office. A scheduled appointment allows the fastest service. Appoint-
ments are available at the Fargo, Bismarck, Minot, Dickinson, Williston, and Grand Forks offices and can be made online at https:// go.nemoqappointment.com/Booking/Booking/Index/5KIDD4bc. “We’ve made getting a REAL ID easy and fast,” NDDOT Director Bill Panos said. “Simply make an appointment online, bring in the correct documentation, and you will be in and out of the driver’s license office quickly. Don’t be left at the gate come October 2020. Make your appointment now to get your REAL ID.” Please ensure all proper documentation is with you when you come in for your scheduled appointment. The NDDOT maintains a REAL ID checklist on its website: www.dot.nd.gov/real-id. In order to apply for a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, residents will need to provide: • Proof of legal residence in the United States • Proof of Social Security Number • Proof of North Dakota residence If the individual’s current name is different than the name on the identity documents due to marriage, divorce or other circumstance, additional proof of the legal name is required. More information is available on the NDDOT checklist. To help make sure citizens can get their REAL ID by the federal deadline, the NDDOT in Fargo is offering a “REAL ID Day” on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 2

Region and North Africa, semolina from durum is prized for cous cous and some breads. A good share of our production is processed in-state at one of these facilities: Minot Milling, a division of Philadelphia Macaroni located in Minot; Dakota Growers Pasta Company located in Carrington; and the North Dakota Mill in Grand Forks. North Dakota durum is also sent out of state to mills throughout the United States, and to customers around the world. Italy, Algeria, and Nigeria are the largest international buyers, but North Dakota durum also finds its way to smaller markets in Central America and Europe. Celebrate pasta month by learning more about our state’s durum and pasta production and make one of your favorite pasta dishes. For great pasta cooking tips and recipes, visit www.pastafits.org and for more information on pasta month, visit www.ndwheat.com. The Wheat Commission would like to thank our dedicated Pasta Month sponsors: Dakota Growers Pasta, Philadelphia Macaroni and the U.S. Durum Growers.

p.m. For that day only, citizens can schedule appointments to get their REAL ID at the Fargo Driver’s License office. This is being offered as an alternative to people who may otherwise not be able to get into the Driver’s License Office during its regularly scheduled hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. Only appointments for REAL ID will be accepted on Saturday, Oct. 19. Walk-ins will not be accepted, and no other driver’s license business will be conducted. About REAL ID Congress passed The REAL ID Act in 2005. It enacted a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission that established minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards. The Act further prohibited federal agencies, including the TSA, from accepting state-issued driver’s licenses or identification cards that do not meet the minimum standards. North Dakota offers an Opt-in, Opt-out feature that allows residents a choice in obtaining a REAL IDcompliant driver’s license. However, if you opt-out, you will not be able to fly domestically with your North Dakota driver’s license as of Oct. 1, 2020. The fee for a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license is the same as the fee for a non-compliant license. If you are renewing and keeping a non-compliant credential, it is $15; if you are renewing and upgrading to a REAL ID-compliant credential, it is $15. If you are getting a REAL ID-compliant license before your existing renewal date, the fee is $8.

September 17, 2019 On September 17, 2019, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. David Zeis was not in attendance. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Vice Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and presented a culvert request from Storlie Township to replace a rusted-out culvert between Sections 32 and 33. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the culvert request, pending Terry Johnston’s inspection and approval, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Gravel budgets and future road projects were reviewed. There was discussion on the proposed Road Foreman job description. It was decided that once all commissioners are in attendance and approve, the position would be opened internally. There was discussion on Jim Rademacher filling in as a snowplow operator as needed for the coming season. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to pay Rademacher $25/hour based on his prior experience, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Current financials as of August 31st were reviewed. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve a Raffle Permit for Our Lady’s Preservation, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $160,000.00 from Road and Bridge Fund to Special County Highway Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $88.20 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $1,810.00 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Greg Goodman made
a motion to transfer $882.03 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Austin Lafrenz informed the commissioners that the engine had been taken out of the motor grader from the Langdon District, but Butler did not have an update on what was wrong. The commissioners visited with Terry Girodat and discussed the grant that had been received from the Dept. of Homeland Security for the courthouse doors. Girodat was in agreement that the commission would not have to levy for the full amount of the door project as he had remaining funds in his capital outlay budget. Stanley Dick made a motion to recess the regular meeting for the annual budget hearing at 11:00 a.m., seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. At 11:08 a.m., with no one in attendance to voice any concerns with the county budget, Greg Goodman made a motion to reconvene the regular commission meeting, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the 2020 County Budget as published, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. There was discussion on salary adjustments. Stanley Dick stated the salary increases/adjustments need to be decided in a more timely manner so the departments can include the increase amounts in the budgets when they are presented, and employees will not be left not knowing if and how much their salary will increase. It was reiterated that the employees (with the exception of Social Services and the Weed Officer) will receive a 3% increase for 2020 and that any proposed adjustments are still under consideration, awaiting the comparison of benefits. Greg Fetsch, Sheriff, stated he needed to know what his employees would be getting paid for the Stonegarden Grant. Fetsch was advised to use the larger salary amount, with the intention of lowering it if the adjustments are not granted. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, stated she still had the same concerns with her salary comparison. The commissioners stated the budgets could not be increased at this point. Austin Lafrenz made a motion, seconded by Greg
Goodman to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: ND STATE TREASURER, E-911/ MED LEVY/DOM VIOLENCE____ ________________________2,426.69 ND ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES, E-911 PHONE TAX___ 466.59 CAVALIER COUNTY MVD, SHERIFF________________________ 16.50 NICK MOSER, COMMISSIONERS_ _________________________ 212.28 LANGDON AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, COMMISSIONERS_ _________________________ 175.00 NORTHERN PLAINS RESOURCE COUNCIL, COMMISSIONERS____ _________________________ 300.00 COUNTRY MEDIA, INC., COMMISSIONERS_____________ 474.72 SLEEP INN & SUITES, AUDITOR_ __________________________ 76.00 WEST PAYMENT CENTER, STATE'S ATTORNEY_______ 240.60 R.

Burgum declares October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, urges proactive steps to protect against threats Gov. Doug Burgum has declared October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month to bring awareness to the importance of protecting our state and citizens from constantly evolving cyberthreats. National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) was created in 2004 by the National Cyber Security Alliance and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Today, the initiative is worldwide. “North Dakota made important strides this past legislative session advancing our statewide cybersecurity efforts with Senate Bill 2110, the ‘One State, One Cybersecurity’ law,” Burgum said. “This first-inthe-nation, singular approach to cybersecurity will improve our ability to protect our state and its citizens from growing cyberthreats, and we want to encourage all North Dakotans to similarly take proactive steps to protect themselves at home, work and school.” “In this increasingly connected,

By Rita Maisel
Potato Picking With what seems like neverending gray skies and rainy days, there were lots of suggestions about writing a column on some type of special Indian summer day from long ago. The one that kept rising to the surface actually dates back to the fall I started college in Iowa. In those days new students from schools that were not accredited had to take entrance exams to prove they were college material. Langdon’s high school was not accredited by Iowa standards so automatically I had to take the tests. Even though I had good grades at LHS, there was a hole in my English grammar background. The test required you to write out something remembered as declining, a verb giving various tenses. Apparently, I had stared at the instructions too long. The time allowed for the test expired and that section of my test was collected with that space still blank. Years later, when taking an introductory course in German, I learned what the test instructions
referred to – in German, which had to be mentally translated into English. Fortunately, I was not alone. It appears the whole football team at that college had failed portions of that same test. We were assigned to “bonehead English”, a special remedial class, which did not focus on grammar specifically but was taught by a tiny, bright-eyed, little, gray-haired lady with a remarkable sense of humor and a PhD in English. Iowa had a lot of warm sunny fall days, and on one of the first of these our lethargic class dragged into their seats. The instructor suggested we all face the south side of the room where windows opened onto the park-like open campus with leaves of many colors on the trees or piling up on the lawn. Now, pretend you are home, wherever you live, and write a story about what you would be doing if you were there. Some groaned, but I knew it was my cousin’s birthday that week, as it is this week, and if I were at home I would be out in the field picking potatoes. So, I took the teacher at her word and wrote about the potato fields of North Dakota. Thanks to that instructor, the story did lead to a job on the college newspaper, which turned out to be

Langdon Long Ago
an unexpected college assignment. Potatoes had always been grown in farm gardens and some in the fields, as well, but around the time of World War II raising potatoes in the fields of Cavalier County became a big business. Some of the relatives around Cavalier were already raising potatoes, and some of the relatives closer to Langdon decided to try them as well. In retrospect, it was very much a learning experience. In good years they may even have made a profit. The cycle began in the spring with cutting tables (home-built) set up where up to six people (three to a side) sat on stools by a wooden hopper. The foreman or a helper dumped un-cut potatoes into the hopper, and the potatoes then fell down to the table top where the six cutters (wearing gloves!) pulled them up to the knives and cut them into smaller pieces which fell into baskets between their knees. When the basket was full, the small seed pieces were dipped into a vat of treated water then drained and taken to the fields to be planted. Most of the cutters were women or girls, and since students with good grades did not have to take final exams, I had a chance to earn some spending money for summer

cutting potatoes. It was hard work, and by spring the potatoes left over from last fall’s crop did have a noticeable aroma. In midsummer the plants would be up and in blossom. If a plant was blighted, it had to be removed by hand, and I learned later I was the last girl in the family drafted for that unpaid task. Walking the fields in hot sun was never a favorite activity, and heat exhaustion became a common summer ailment. Spraying the potato bugs was not a childhealthy activity so I got to miss that. However, potato picking time each fall became special. It was a chance to earn a new winter coat or some special treat. You sometimes got out of school, and other times worked weekends. A truck would pick up the kids, teenagers and adults willing to do this backbreaking task and take us to the fields. My brother and I were both recruited by relatives who owned or had planted the fields. Because the peck baskets we picked in were too heavy for us to lift, it took two people to a team to get the potatoes from the baskets into the sacks. We would start at the end of a long row and often my mother and an aunt (another team) would be in the row beside us. First you folded extra bags over a belt which you wore as you worked down the row. When the bag was full, it supposedly weighed 100 pounds, and the full bag needed to have the top folded over so the potatoes did not spill out. Then you took another bag off your belt and started on another bushel. Other workers kept count of how many bushels we picked in a day (we counted ourselves to be sure they would not cheat us!) and if the bags seemed light, they would dock your pay. Two full peck baskets poured into a gunny sack was counted as a bushel. While in the fields there would be breaks for a snack and at noon for lunch. When we started we got 8 cents a bushel, but pickers who were adults or teenagers usually got 10 cents. Some were paid off at the end of the day, and a few were told not to come back. Being relatives, we did not get paid until later. Around Christmas time some of the potatoes stored in the pit (a
large cement structure, mostly underground and divided into bins) would have to be graded. Entire bins would be cleaned out and sorted on the moving belt of the graders. People in coats and warm gloves stood at each side and sorted the potatoes into sizes and removed any that had spoiled since harvest a few months earlier. Smaller potatoes could be sold in bags for a different price. Some women helped with this task, but the work was heavy so mostly men did this type of work. Working on the grader was not a job I liked and tried to escape when I could. Only one of my younger cousins has ever mentioned doing duty there. By the time younger family members came along, they had potato picking machines and various labor-saving devices. One scene always in my mind was the guy at the end of the grader line with a big needle device and twine who would wrap the twine around “an ear” on the right hand side, stitch the top of the bag together, make another ear on the left side and then lift a bag weighing almost as much as he did on to a pallet with wheels which, when loaded, could be pulled away to another section of the pit or placed near an elevator that took bags up to floor level. He did all this while a second bag was filling on the other side of the grader and never seemed to miss a beat or have a pile of potatoes on the floor. In those days it seemed very modern and wonderful. With automatic pickers, graders and probably sackers, the long ago work of picking and sorting potatoes is now behind us – possibly controlled by a precision ag device on a computer or cell phone. A lady who died last spring had not known me for a few years, but on days when she did she might not remember my name but would tell me about her days of picking potatoes (sometimes in the same fields I did) working with her cousin as a partner and could still remember some of the outfits they purchased with their ”potato money”. Those days still spell October’s elusive Indian summer days for me and possibly for other readers.
Breast cancer screenings can save lives October is breast cancer awareness month. About one in eight North Dakota women will get breast cancer during their lifetime. For those who are diagnosed, early detection greatly increases the chances of survival. “It’s great to know that when women discover breast cancer in its early stages, their five-year survival rate may increase to 98%,” said Susan Mormann, Women’s Way Director for the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH). “Without that early detection, the five-year survival rate may drop to 27% in later stages or if the cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. Working with your health care provider, you can identify your risk factors along with how often you should be screened.” Risk factors for breast cancer include: • Being older than 50 • Having a family history of breast cancer • Having a personal history of breast cancer
• Having radiation therapy to the chest or breasts (like for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma) before age 30 • Taking certain hormones for hormone replacement therapy • Having dense breasts “You may not have symptoms in the early stages of breast cancer, so screenings are a critical way to take charge of your health,” says Mormann. Healthy lifestyle practices such as limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and eating a balanced diet are steps all women can take to reduce the risk of developing breast or other cancers. Women’s Way provides a way to pay for mammograms for eligible North Dakotans.
