A salute to unsung heroes during the pandemic
COVID Testers On the pandemic’s front lines and away from the spotlight are some of America’s hardestworking, most affected professionals. COVID-19 testers are putting them- selves directly into the path of the pandemic by helping identify positive and negative cases of the virus. They’re also helping gain impactful data needed by researchers and policymakers to stem the outbreak. These professionals administer nasal swab tests at stations throughout the United States. Their roles require frequent travel to area clinics and long hours helping ensure the health of their communities. They face long lines of people requesting tests, many of whom are suffering from the dangerous, highly spreadable COVID-19 disease. WHAT THEY DO COVID-19 testers are charged with providing safe and effective care for patients under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse in accordance with regulations. SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION One way to show appreciation for COVID-19 testers — and any healthcare professional currently overwhelmed by the pandemic — is to wear a mask in public. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
recommends that people wear masks in public settings, like on public and mass transportation, at events and gatherings, and anywhere they will be around other people. Below are some basic “Dos” and “Don’ts” from the CDC.
• Wear masks with two or more layers to stop the spread of COVID-19. • Wear the mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. DON’T: • Put a mask on someone 2
Check in with your local health department for more information on masking requirements for your region, as each state or county may have different practices in place. DO: • Wear a mask to help protect yourself from getting or spreading COVID-19.
years or younger. • Put a mask on anyone who have trouble breathing or anyone who cannot remove the mask without assistance. • Wear a mask intended for healthcare workers — for example, N95 respirators. Slowing the spread of the virus will help all healthcare
Suda harvests record-setting ram
Grafton graduate goes on successful dream hunt
Story by Chelsea J. Wysocki courtesy of Walsh County Record David Suda, 22, of Grafton, went on the hunt of a lifetime in October and shot a giant bighorn sheep he’d been stalking for weeks just a half hour into opening day. The ram later earned a green score of 190 — crushing the previous North Dakota record of 179 inches.
Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889
would beat the state record, but he ended up being even bigger than we thought,” Suda added. “The big game biologist at North Dakota Game and Fish, Brett Wiedmann, confirmed it the day I shot him that he would smash the state record.” Suda began hunting around 10 years old with both his dad and stepdad and has always enjoyed being outdoors.
among 17,000 applicants. A sixth tag was also auctioned off. “It had always been a dream hunt, but I never thought I’d get to do it,” he said. On top of always wanting to harvest a ram, Suda had also been trying his luck for a rifle mule deer tag for eight years before finally getting drawn this year. “It was a great feeling to draw
workers maintain a more manageable workload during this stressful period of the pandemic. Essential Workers You’ve likely heard the buzz around “essential workers” and their importance to the country at large. But what are essential workers and what makes their jobs so critical to our education, health care system and overall economy? When we saw the first wave of shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders in response to COVID-19, there were some obvious industries that the country could not afford to shut down. This spans health care, teachers, PPE manufacturers and other sectors. Basically, these professionals are still required to work, even as residents of cities and counties are prompted to stay in their homes, away from businesses and the public. WHAT THEY DO According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, essential workers are those who conduct a range of operations and services that are typically essential to continue critical infrastructure operations. Critical infrastructure is a large, umbrella term encompassing sectors from energy to defense to agricont. on page 2
Anderson starts as new Deputy City Auditor By Linda Timian Republican Writer Jenny Anderson moved to Langdon December 13 and started her new job as deputy city auditor on December 15. Anderson originally grew up and lived in East Grand Forks, Minn. Prior to coming to work for the city auditor's office she was employed by the Grand Forks Growth and Support Center as a direct support pro-
Anne Hoffarth. Once Anderson gets some time on the job and is further trained in, she will need to be able to back up all the city auditor duties when Hoffarth is absent. “There is a lot to learn,” said Anderson. “Right now, I’m doing mostly water bills and payments and taking care of Activity Center money. I am getting to know the people in town and where they work.” Anderson lives in Langdon
fessional. “The deputy auditor primarily does utility billing and past due reports, building permits and any other permits needed,” explains City Auditor Rox-
with Brian Vikan and his three children: Izzy, Aiden, and Sophia. When not at the auditor’s office, she enjoys being with family and friends, traveling, and going to the lake in the summer.
Pictured above is David Suda with his mule deer, left, and his bighorn ram. Submitted photos.
“The feeling after I got him is something I’ll never forget,” said Suda. “We put so much time and effort into this hunt.” Suda’s ram will be officially scored on December 29, but the horns measured in at 190 inches. The process now is to wait the mandatory 60-day dry down period for an official measurement. “We had a good idea that he
“My favorite memory as a kid is going bird hunting with my stepdad and going to the hunting cabin with my dad and getting to see and hunt with the people up there throughout the years,” he said. Suda applied for a bighorn tag numerous times but knew the chances of actually drawing one weren’t very high with only five lottery licenses available

these tags,” he said. “I’ve waited a long time for a mule deer tag, so I was very happy about that. Then when I got the call on my sheep tag, I was in disbelief.” Suda and a couple hunting buddies had been watching the ram he later harvested for six weeks prior to opening day in bighorn unit B4, north of Intercont. on page 3

2020 Year in Review: April through June
Welcome to our team
Kristi Mostoller is taking on the minutes of the public meetings for the Cavalier County Republican. She was born and raised in Langdon and enjoys being part of the community. She is married with two young girls and has her own business doing massage therapy. Wanting to do her part as a community member, she has gotten her EMT and works with the Langdon Ambulance. She is starting online education to pursue a nursing career through Northland Technical and Community College. “I’ve always enjoyed helping people, and that’s what I’m really passionate about.” Help us welcome her to our team!
Year in Review continues with a look at April through June. The three months in the spring had us knee deep into the COVID-19 pandemic. April began by telling our readers how small businesses can survive the COVID-19 outbreak by checking with their local banks for loans, applying for the Small Business Disaster Loan or by checking out the several options available from the ND Department of Commerce and Bank of North Dakota. Another big topic was the US Census. Residents of Cavalier County were encouraged to either go online or register by phone. Jill Denault was named the Northern Valley Human Services Zone director. This was part of the social services redesign efforts. The CDC issued recommendations to the American public to wear cloth masks when in public to slow the spread of COVID-19. Not all was doom and gloom. Before the COVID-19 storm hit, nine Langdon Area High School students were able to travel to

The Cavalier County Commissioners met for their scheduled meeting on January 5. The first topic discussed was road maintenance for snow removal and gravel. Trying to answer complaints and keep the roads kept up has been difficult to do with the weather conditions constantly changing, specifically lose rock and freezing on the county road to Frost Fire. Commissioner Moser was called for roads to be cleared in the Wales area. Discussion of more direct communication to plow drivers and getting an earlier start to clear roads was suggested. District maps will also help to effectively plan by using teams to reduce confusion of who goes where. Priorities for snow removal will be considered with plow drivers and re-addressed in two weeks. Old business brought up was the Commission needing cosponsors going forward to the state legislature regarding the forest stewardship program. The commissioners discussed that it was not an accurate process, and changes need to be made for land tax purposes. It was explained that there are 7,500 acres that are counted in tree acreage that are truly in the forest stewardship program (formally known as forest nature program). The fairness of the program for farmers of farmland and community members of Cavalier County is not great. Individuals that have qualified for the tax breaks on wooded land aren’t always area residents, in turn making the residential people cover that tax. Without the agreement of the Cavalier County Commission, the stewardship program will not be renewed. Contracts contracted out 5 years can’t be broken but can still be
voted to not be renewed. A motion to not renew was not made at this time and will be on the agenda for next meeting. Representative Monson would not be bringing the bill to legislature due to not having co-sponsors and said it would not pass so it was not presented. With this information they were informed the chances of the value changing through legislature likely won’t pass. Which was wanting an increase to 50 cents per acre on land tax. Terry Johnston said there were not many new project updates concerning road projects in the county. He is still waiting on a sample of gravel from KLJ that is being tested from the state. This sample needs to be PI tested throughout the upcoming road projects for summer 2021 for contractors to work efficiently. The PI test is a relatively new test that tests mineral material and consistency in gravel. A request from Ramsey County for Cavalier County to pay for half of a bridge on the far west county line that needs replacing was received. It is on a shared road but a road maintained by Ramsey County. A legal contract was suggested in case any bridge needs replacing again on any shared road that Cavalier County maintains so both counties will be responsible for sharing the cost. Cost efficiency and inventory was brought up regarding if it is more beneficial to share costs or if a different approach needs to be considered. Terry Johnson also mentioned replacing three culverts on County Road 45 south of Milton. They are rusted out, and he hadn’t heard about funding for culverts. Suggestions on using a different material might be more reliable for longevity. The state legislature may provide funding for this kind of infrastructure. Steph Bata presented the
farmland soil type value evaluation schedule. Soil value decreased a small amount. A motion to approve the soil values schedule was made by Commissioner Goodman and seconded by Commissioner Stanley Dick. The motion carried. Abby Borchardt brought concerns on why the public health office is involved in property sales in Cavalier County regarding inspections. Homeowners are not required to have any inspection at any given time but are required to for the sale of their home. In the sewage treatment state regulations, it is stated that if a buyer or seller does not comply with changes deemed by inspection, they could be charged with a class B misdemeanor. Steph from public health expressed that it was a board of health power that would have wanted sewage inspections. Cavalier County Commissioners don't have the power to change state sewage treatment regulations or rules, so Ms. Borchardt will be presenting it again to the public health board at their meeting on January 25. Regulations go through the legislature, and this may be one of the changes that have been recommended to be changed. Greg Fetch presented the Sheriff’s office annual report for 2020. The Sheriff’s office is still in search of another deputy and dispatcher with no luck. The commissioners approved the 2020 annual audit for July 2021. Steph Welsh gave a COVID vaccine update, informing the Commission that 117 doses have been given so far. Public health is hoping to receive another 100 COVID vaccines this week. Vaccines will follow the priority list with individuals 75 years old and older next in line to receive it. The next scheduled meeting is January 19 at 1:00 p.m.

Washington, D.C. as part of the Close Up program. This is a program offered to students that attend to be inspired to become active participants in American democracy. Close Up is a nonprofit and non-partisan organization that uses D.C. and NYC as a classroom to allow student the opportunity to make personal connections with the people and institutions that embody America’s past and present. The group that traveled to D.C. included Abby Romfo, Dustin Gilseth, Kiarra Hodek, Calyn Crockett, Elise Ramberg, Megan Hiller, and Hope, Hailey, and Hannah Thorlakson. The chaperone for the students on the trip was Ethen Askvig. Many parents and students adjusted to online only school with most reporting that after a few bumps along the way, everyone was adjusting fine with the exception of missing their friends and teachers. As school had been closed for over a month, Langdon Area School looked for ways to ensure kids didn’t go hungry during this already stressed time. Rules relaxed for the Emergency Summer Food Service Program, and the federal government made a declaration that all schools would qualify for this program immediately with the completion of an application process. Any child ages 1 to 18 qualified for meals. These meals were free of charge to anyone who wished to request them with no family financial considerations needed to qualify. LASD applied and was approved for the ESFSP program within a week of schools closing. Pick-up for boxes occurred on Mondays, and boxes are brought to their vehicles. The first week in May had North Dakota looking at the ND Smart Restart program. Cavalier
County Memorial Hospital started offering telehealth services to their patients. The Primary Election was held by mail-in votes only and heated up just like the summer sun as one of the hottest turnouts in voting took place on June 9 in Cavalier County. With a total of 1,098 ballots cast, the 2020 Primary tally places in the top three election cycles within the past five. Graduation looked a little different for the 2020 high school graduates. The graduation ceremony was for families and graduating students only and was live-streamed for the general public to attend. The Langdon city street project finally saw paved streets in June. Anna Spivey was named ND American Legionnaire of the Year. New businesses and/or business owners to the area included Austin Lafrenz of Lafrenz Seed, Hein Lawn Care Services, Bottle Barn got sold to Cork and Barrel, and 4J Mosquito Control. Katie Henry joined the Cavalier County NDSU Extension as the Family and Community Wellness agent. Cavalier County Emergency Management and Cavalier County Public Health District put a call out for people to help make cloth masks for the public. Frost Fire geared up their mountain bike trails for the summer with their first day of operation on June 6. Finally ending out the quarter, Cavalier County had its first confirmed case of COVID-19. Frost Fire held host to the “Not Prom” for area teenagers. This was a great, free event to the high school-aged kids that were told prom would not happened for them. Many area businesses donated and helped make the evening a memory the kids would not forget.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Who has bad driving habits? … This is the time of the year when motorists don’t want to be messing around with danger on the road. As we all know, there is often ice on our highways, and if we don’t have studded tires, one wrong move and we’re going into the ditch. There seems to be a lot of people who like to disregard this hazard. Person No. 1 is simply always in a hurry and is going to push the envelope to the limit. Person No. 2 believes he has the best pickup truck on the highway, and he can go through anything at any speed. And person No. 3 seems to be totally naive to what is going on around them. This probably sounds like the highway patrol, but it’s not. I’m just a cautious observer. For person No. 1, slowing down even 5 miles per hour will make a big difference. Get out of that habit of being in a hurry. Leave the house a few minutes early, and you’ll get there in plenty of time. Besides, if you calculate how long it will take you to get to point B at 75 mph vs. 70 mph, it isn’t that much different, and you can be much safer to yourself and other motorists. To person No. 2, it doesn’t matter how good your truck is. The question is how good are the tires? It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you have, if you don’t have proper winter tires, you’re setting yourself up for failure. And to person No. 3, you need to turn on the TV or radio when you wake up in the morning to get the latest weather reports so you will actually know what is going on outside your door. Again, it’s for your safety and other motorists. Here’s an example of somebody not paying attention. I was on my daily commute between Minot and Kenmare on U.S. Highway 52. Fairly heavy snow was coming down, it was completely dark, there was about 3 inches of snow on the highway, and I was traveling 60 mph in a 65 mph zone. All of a sudden, somebody came out of nowhere from behind, blew right past me and created quite a snow fog on the way past. I slowed down to about 45 until the snow fog settled and just as that was happening, I saw the car spin around on the highway three times and into the ditch. I kept going because the car
didn’t roll over, there was no fire, nor any contact with my vehicle. The temperature hovered at 30 degrees, so the guy wasn’t going to freeze to death. There are other bad driving habits that motorists seem to have. One of them is with blinkers. And I don’t want to hear, “I was on my cell phone, and both hands were occupied.” That’s a bunch of huey! Is your cell phone call more important than road safety? Are you willing to risk an accident just to finish your telephone conversation? What really gets me is when I’m waiting to turn right at an intersection or go forward, and I see somebody coming down the road. It’s my responsibility to wait until that vehicle passes. What they will often do is turn right without using a blinker and not even cross into the intersection. In some cases I’ve had to wait a long time thinking the other vehicle is going by, when instead it turns sans blinker. Another thing is headlights. I don’t know if this is a problem where you live, but people on U.S. 52 seem to have a hard time dimming their lights to oncoming traffic. They probably had the mobile in hand and couldn’t do two things at one time. I haven’t seen this in many years, but when I was in college in Bismarck I would see women driving down the road on their way to work putting on makeup as they are cruising down a city street. That wasn’t some fluke. I observed this for the better part of two years. I’ve been in Bismarck a lot in the past few years and haven’t noticed it. Thank goodness that bad habit got nipped in the bud. There are a lot of bad driving habits, but here’s the clincher. I was headed east on N.D. Highway 23 from New Town to Parshall, and a semi-trailer was actually traveling at a reasonable speed. When I passed him, I couldn’t believe what I saw. This guy was traveling down the highway with a load of cargo, and he had a cigarette in one hand and piece of pizza in the other hand and was obviously steering with his leg. Kind of like the guy in the storm, one wrong move and he’s going in the ditch and taking his load of crude oil with him. There’s no need to try to work around these rules. Just abide by them for the good of everyone on the road. I guess it could be worse. We could be dealing with road rage.

Reversing Electoral College vote? Efforts by President Donald Trump and congressional republicans to subvert the clerk-like, ministerial and ceremonial counting of electoral votes on January 6 is a witches’ brew for undermining the Constitution and American Democracy. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb) has justly characterized as a “dangerous ploy” the efforts of President Donald Trump and a handful of congressional republicans to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. Trump’s pitch to Vice President Mike Pence to throw out the duly certified votes for President-elect Joe Biden, based on republicans’ plans to object to counting those votes grounded on false and debunked claims of voter fraud, is “playing with fire.” Sen. Sasse is correct: the plan is “designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans simply because they voted for someone in a different party.” He is right to remind us that, “We ought to be better than that.” By constitutional design — Article II and the 12th Amendment — the certification proceedings on January 6 are designed to be ceremonial, with Vice President Pence serving in his capacity as “president of the Senate,” performing the perfunctory task of “counting” the results of the Electoral College. Both houses of Congress gather for a joint session. The vice president is instructed by the Constitution to open the ballot envelopes, hand them to “tellers,” ask members of Congress if there are any objections to the results in any state, announce the votes on any objections and, finally, announce the result of the Electoral College vote. The vice president’s purely ministe-

rial role, devoid of substantive powers to tamper with the results, was fortified by The Electoral Count Act of 1887, enacted to prevent a recurrence of the turmoil that surrounded the presidential election of 1876. This statute, part of the law of the land, denies to the vice president authority to ignore, discount or otherwise throw out the votes of a particular state. The statute directs the vice president to open “all certificates and papers purporting to be” electoral votes. This statute also imposes sharp constraints on congressional temptation to reverse the outcome of the Electoral College vote. An objection to the results of the vote in a particular state by a member of one of the chambers requires an objection to the same state by a member of the other chamber. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has stated that he will object to the results of the election in Pennsylvania. He will have the support of one or more republican members of the House, which will serve to trigger in each chamber of Congress a two-hour debate on whether the electors of Pennsylvania will be accepted by Congress. There is virtually zero chance of that happening, simply because the law requires that rejection of the results in a particular state, in this instance, Pennsylvania, must win the support of a majority of members in both the House and the Senate. Control of the House by the Democratic Party precludes the chance that the electors from Pennsylvania will be rejected. It is also likely that the plan to overturn the election will be defeated by moderate members of the Senate who do not want their legacies sullied by participation in a scheme to deny the will of the voters. President Trump and Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas), assert that Vice President Pence possesses the discretionary authority to ignore the Constitution and The Electoral Count Act by refusing to “accept” the electoral votes in swing states, which would deliver the presidential election to Trump. Neither Trump nor Gohmert cares much about the intentions of the founding
fathers or the drafters of the governing statute, but Pence might. He might have the strength of character and the requisite integrity to obey the law of the land, as well as sufficient personal motive to protect his reputation. President Trump’s attempt to persuade Vice President Pence to shirk his constitutional duty and to betray his oath of office is but the most recent of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results and cling to power. Some 50 state and federal courts have rejected Trump’s lawsuits in rulings laced with sharp reminders that the president’s lawyers failed to present evidence of voter fraud sufficient to alter the outcome of the 2020 election. Trump’s failure to win in the nation’s courts was accompanied by failure to persuade state officials, including several republicans, to corrupt the Electoral College process. Now, the president, hoping to hold power and stay in office by illegitimate means, places his final hopes in the hands of the vice president and congressional republicans whom, he prays, will abandon the Constitution and surrender the fundamental principle of American Democracy — the right of the people to choose their representatives. This cynical, anti-democratic maneuver is not consistent with the electoral process, nor the system, for which our forefathers fought the American Revolution. Nor is it in any way consistent with the hopes and dreams of Washington and Hamilton and Madison, and others who wrote the Constitution that exalts government of, by and for the people. Let us hope that January 6, 2021, is not a day that will live in infamy.

ND Matters: Direct election of President has trade-offs By Llyod Omdahl Because I trashed the Electoral College recently, I was challenged to write a few honest words about the most commonly touted alternative – direct election. The whole discussion about the current method of choosing the president is akin to the problem in the 1787 Constitutional Convention when the delegates changed their minds every other day on the best method. A major difference today is 200 years of experience with the system so all of the warts are known. Over those 200 years, the political impulses became more and more democratic in that the people assumed a greater role in governance – electing Electors, lowering voting qualifications, extending the vote to African-Americans and women, equal protection clause and direct election of Senators. Direct Election a Next Step? In the context of this democratization, the public philosophy is suggesting that the next step should be direct election of the president in which every person’s vote would be equal. Direct election would put equality ahead of political and geographic advantage. So the first critical question is this: how important is equality? If it is very important, states must be willing to forego political advantages. North Dakotans believe that the state has an advantage in the Electoral College that we would lose in direct election. We are
willing to trade equality for this advantage. Unfortunately, it is difficult to evaluate and compare the Electoral College with direct election because we have experience with only the Electoral College but none with direct election. That means the use of assumptions which may never be a real part of direct election. To say the least, it becomes quite complicated. Electoral College Violates Equality To reaffirm, the Electoral College violates equality in two major ways: the formula for allocating Electors and the variations by state in the number of votes cast per Elector. While I favored retention of the Electors in 1970 for ideological reasons, my recent studies of inequality in Christian churches have magnified to me the importance of equality for all human beings. Direct election would require national rules for the whole country on voter eligibility and conduct of elections. Administration would still be done by the system of precincts, counties and states now in place. But the nationalization of anything runs counter to North Dakota affinities. Nationalizing Campaigns Campaigns would be nationalized. Under the present system, only a fraction of the states are in the game. The Electoral College focuses on a few swing states, discounting all of the voters in other states. Take California, a state that is so Democratic that Republican candidates know it is futile to spend any time or
money there. Republican voters would better spend their time fishing or surfing. The Democrats from North Dakota can join them. But there are portions of California that are conservative. In a direct election system, their votes would count. As a consequence, conservative candidates would spend time and money in the parts of California in which they can snag votes. Advocates of direct election claim that it would increase the importance of the presidential elections for everyone and spur greater voter turnout, especially of the minority parties in most states. Maybe. Multiparty Coalitions Direct election would very likely result in splinter parties. The Electoral College is rigged against third parties because to survive third parties must have electoral success. In direct election, they wouldn’t need to win any Electors for bargaining purposes but if they got 15% of the vote they would have something with which to deal. That means coalition governments become a possibility. Some worry needlessly about recounts in a national election. If a recount is necessary, it will be done through the counties and states just as we would do recounts for state offices. So that is not really a problem. So which is best? Depends on our value system. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

Letter to the Editor: Anti-COVID Antibodies A powerful tool to decrease illness severity As a physician, I have seen first-hand how COVID-19 has devastated families, either by taking a life or by leaving those infected wondering if they too will succumb to the virus or wondering just how sick they will get. After testing positive for COVID-19, what follows is a period of anxious waiting. Many questions arise such as: What if this gets really bad? Will Dad end up in the hospital? As treatment options continue to develop with each passing month of the pandemic, clinicians now have more tools in the fight against COVID-19. The latest medications, bamlanivimab and casirivimab/imdevimab, are designed to lower the rates of hospitalization and severe illness in high-risk patients. These medications are bringing the fight to early COVID-19 infected patients before patients end up severely ill. Bamlanivimab and casirivimab/ imdevimab are monoclonal antibodies meaning they have a single target. In this case, the target is the coronavirus’s spike protein. By binding the circulating coronavirus and neutralizing it, the viral load is reduced. Less virus = less severe illness. These medications give a patient’s immune system a head start by buying critical time to allow their own bodies to build antibodies against the coronavirus and continue the fight. The medications are very safe and work the same way as long-established medications used by millions around the world such as Humira, Enbrel, Stelara, etc.
In the study group, one out of 850 patients had an allergic reaction, which is much less than the allergy rate to medications like ibuprofen or penicillin. How effective are monoclonal antibodies? U.S. Food and Drug Administration emergency use research data shows the two antibodies reduced hospitalization and severe illness by two thirds. These medications work best in the early illness - before patients may have many symptoms. The earlier after a positive test, the better. It takes between 7-10 days for most COVID patients to develop severe symptoms and by then these medications are not effective. Monoclonal antibodies are not medications prescribed for symptoms - these are medications prescribed for risk. Who is eligible? Candidates must be COVID positive, not hospitalized, and not using more oxygen than usual. Patients over age 65. Patients over age 12 with additional risk factors. These vary by age group but include kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, and immunosuppression. The criteria can be lengthy; however, the main point is this: If you or a loved one test positive for COVID-19, ask your health care professional if monoclonal antibodies are a good fit. If so, the risk of severe illness can be lowered. Joshua Ranum, MD NDMA Vice President and Physician Advisory Group participant

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Season of Citrus The fresh, aromatic scent of a citrus fruit being peeled is one of the most uplifting, brightening things that can happen to a person, especially during this time of year. It’s something that can be smelled from the next room over and usually makes a person’s senses perk up, triggering a longing in a person’s mind for the sweet juices that come from the fresh, ripe fruit. We are in the prime of citrus season right now, and fresh oranges, clementines, tangerines, grapefruit, lemons and limes are in abundance during this season. The season usually starts in late October/early November and typically ends in April. Unfortunately, we cannot grow citrus in our climate (unless you have a dwarf citrus tree in your home, or a greenhouse with the proper growing conditions). I can see why the kings and queens of France made it a priority to have citrus trees. That’s just one of the things I learned on my trip to France one summer. The sites, food and experiences were absolutely priceless, but one of the things I remember the most was the Palace at Versailles. It was amazing in its own right, but one of the things that fascinated me the most is that the palace has what is called an Orangery. The Orangery was built in the 1600’s and still houses citrus trees that are 200 years old. During the summer, the citrus trees are moved to the gardens and then brought back into the Orangery during the colder winter months. France is where my dream of having a citrus tree started. The climate is a little milder there, but they do have colder temperatures (lows of 20’s in the winter, I believe) and sometimes get snow. My full dream has yet to come to fruition (pun not intended), but it’s a work in progress. My son and I started a grapefruit tree from a sprouted seed last spring, and it’s already about 7 inches tall. I’m trying to talk my husband into an indoor pool/ tropical greenhouse atrium in our backyard…we shall see what the future holds. I have hope for the grapefruit tree but not so much for the other… I think maybe one of the reasons I enjoy citrus so much is that fresh, aromatic scent during a time of year that we don’t have the freshness of outdoors. I think another reason may be that my body is telling me that I need the nutrients citrus provides. Citrus fruit are very rich in Vitamin C, which helps our immune system do its job. That’s very helpful this time of year when cold and flu season is in full swing. Not to mention, it can’t hurt to have that

extra boost to our immune system function during a pandemic. Vitamin C also boosts iron absorption, so people with lower iron levels will benefit from the extra Vitamin C as well. Citrus fruits have the benefit of having anti-cancer properties as well as lowering a person’s risk of heart disease. They are also high in fiber which adds even more nutritional benefit to the fruit. You just really can’t go wrong with the nutritional power of citrus. Something I learned about citrus when I was younger that shocked me is that the whole fruit is edible. The pith (the white layer between the rind and the fruit) is bitter but when eaten with the fruit and rind, adds additional fiber and more Vitamin C. The best way to eat the whole fruit to distribute the bitterness is by slicing the fruit and eating all parts of the fruit at the same time to help balance that bitterness with the sweetness of the juices and the flavor of the rind. Whether you eat the whole fruit, or peel it to reduce the bitterness, be sure to always wash the fruit under running water before eating. There may be pesticide residue that needs to be washed away as well as environmental contaminants that would be unhealthy to consume. Without being washed, if the whole fruit is eaten, cut, or peeled, the unhealthy contaminants would be consumed through the peeling or cross contamination from the knife or your hands and have ill effects for you. It’s always best to wash. Besides nutritional value, another great thing about citrus fruit is that it has a fairly long shelf life compared to some other fruits. The recommendation found on NDSU Extension Food Storage Guide (FN579) https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/publications/food-nutrition/ food-storage-guide-answers-thequestion/fn579.pdf for storing citrus fruit is up to 10 days on the counter at room temperature, or 21 days in the refrigerator. Citrus juice would need to be stored in the refrigerator at all times and has a shorter storage life, especially once squeezed or opened. Consuming citrus juice is beneficial as well, but you get more nutrients from the whole fruit, so it’s best to eat the whole fruit as often as you can instead of just drinking the juice. There are a couple of things to be cautious of when considering citrus fruits. Sometimes, some citrus (grapefruit being most likely) will interact with certain medications (such as some cholesterol lowering statins), so be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist if your medications have any potential to interact with citrus. Another caution is that some people are allergic to citrus fruits. Both of those cautions are for a small percentage of the population, but they are something to be aware of for us all.

Elaine Heck
A private family prayer service was held December 31, 2020, in DuBore Funeral Home Chapel in Warren, Minn., for Elaine Heck, 81, of Warren, Minn., who died unexpectedly in her home on Tuesday, December 29, 2020, following a Christmas weekend in which she got to see each of her daughters. A recording is available on the funeral home website, and in June of 2021 there will be a service in the Evangelical Covenant Church, Warren, Minn. Interment is next to her husband, Selmer, in Greenwood Cemetery, Warren. Elaine Marie Amundson was born on January 24, 1939, in Lang-
don, to Emil and Alda (Johnson) Amundson. She was raised in Langdon and graduated from high school in Walhalla before attending college at Mayville State. On February 2, 1958, she was united in marriage to Selmer Heck in Vang. The young couple made their home in Langdon for a few years, moving to Warren in 1963. When Selmer started his custom combining business, she picked up the slack on the homefront during harvest and was the crew’s cook and support system. She had a tremendous heart for others and loved to provide hospitality. Whether through a homemade meal or a simple card to encourage someone she knew who was shutin, she was generous with her time a trait she instilled in her daughters. At the center of all of this was her faith. She had a rich prayer life and
was a “prayer warrior” for those who needed it. She and Selmer were longtime members of the Warren Evangelical Covenant Church. Her greatest desire was for her family and friends to know Jesus. She was a saleswoman and later a manager for Stanley Home Products for many years. She and Selmer spent many winters in Mesa, Ariz. together. If you didn’t find her at the pool, she was probably off playing cards. Elaine is survived by her daughters: Tammy (Steve) Filipi of Rosemount, Minn., Terryl (Scott) Pearson of Sauk Centre, Minn., and Tonya Turnham of Grand Forks; brother Arlan (Lois) Amundson of Langdon; four grandchildren: Alicia (Daniel) Gagner, Ashley (John) Fisher, Kinsey (Ryan) Bain, and Keenan Pearson; and four greatgrandchildren: Ashtyn and Ayden

From the Pastor’s Desk
Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Karl Breddin of United Lutheran Church, Langdon
Jonah is one of my favorite books in the Bible. For most of us, we think the book is about Jonah being swallowed by a whale, which it is, but there’s a lot more to this book. Everything in the book is exaggerated, from the great city of Ninevah, to the great storm, to the great change in the hearts of Ninevah’s people, and the great distress this change-of-heart causes Jonah. And the whale? The actual wording in Hebrew translates as “a great fish.” This month we’ll be focusing on Jonah. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying, “Go at once to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah set out to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid his fare and went on board, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord. (Jonah 1:1-3) Jonah is called by God to preach to Nineveh but instead flees in the opposite direction. Why? Assyria had been a feared enemy of the people of Israel. In 722 BC, it defeated the northern kingdom of Israel and forced many of its people to leave their homes. Jonah was an Israelite, and Israelites did not like the Assyrians. Ninevah was the capital of Assyria and described by God as wicked. Jonah ran away, not because he was afraid of going to this great, wicked city, but because he knew what might happen: if he warned the Ninevites to repent, God was likely to forgive them.

But we can’t run away from God and God’s desires for us. Even as Jonah’s boat sailed in further from Ninevah, “the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and such a mighty storm came upon the sea that the ship threatened to break up,” (Jonah 1:4). As the waves threatened to sink the ship, Jonah told the sailors – non-Israelites who worshiped a number of other gods – that the storm was from the one true God, and if they threw him overboard, the storm would subside. The sailors reluctantly agree. So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging. Then the men feared the Lord even more, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows. But the Lord provided a large fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. (Jonah 1:15-17). When have you run from God in your own life? For me, I ran from God as people told me in high school, college, and my early professional life that I should be a pastor. There was such a relief and sense of purpose when I finally stopped running from God’s call and listened to those many people. Who has God used to bring you back, when you have tried to run away from God? Are you still running? Next week, we will continue with Jonah in Ninevah.

Happy New Year! I don’t have a lot of new events to tell you about, but we have some things we’d like to wrap up from the end of 2020. The Langdon Christmas Cash giveaways were done very differently this year, but they seemed to be a huge success. We had a winner every week. Linda Lill was our first winner of $500 in Langdon Bucks, then Landan Tollefson won the $500 Langdon Bucks for second week. Our final winner for $1,000 in Langdon Bucks was Rachael Hoffarth. Winning tickets were from Leevers, The Perfect Blend, and Sporty’s Bar & Grill. Local businesses reported that Small Business Saturday and Deals Till Dark were successful this year. We gave away three $100 Langdon bucks prizes after Deals Till Dark from the names of shoppers that night. The winners were: Karen Sigvaldson, Michele Olson, and Janele Brown. All three were extremely happy when they picked
Chamber News
up their prizes. The Chamber hosted an online decorating contest for chamber members. This is the second year we have had the Deck Your Halls contest. We posted pictures that were submitted on our Langdon Area Chamber Facebook Page, and you voted by “liking” the picture. The winner received $100 in Langdon bucks, and Schroeder’s Furniture was our winner this year. A new event this year was our Langdon Area Chamber of Commerce Virtual Tour of Homes on Facebook. Since we couldn’t actually tour homes in person due to COVID, this was a fun alternative. Participants posted photos of their holiday decorations on the Facebook event page. We had 13-14 people post pictures in our event. We hope looking at the pictures and seeing the wonderful decor for the holidays brought a little cheer to your day. We drew a name randomly from those who submitted pictures. Andrea Jacobson won $100 in Langdon bucks, and $100 in Langdon bucks was donated to the charity of her choice. This was sponsored by Langdon Area Cham-
ber of Commerce and D&B Motors. In other great news, the Langdon Chamber had requests for approximately $22,000.00 in Langdon bucks this holiday season. What does this mean? Well, it means that there is that much money being spent locally in your local businesses. We know that money spent locally not only helps the business but also helps the community in sales tax revenue. For every $1 spent locally approximately 64 cents stays local. The Chamber and all of its members would like to give a huge thank you for your continued support in this difficult time. We did not have a general membership meeting in January due to the holidays. We will have a general membership meeting in February on Monday, February 1, 2021, at 12:00 noon. If you are a chamber member please watch your email for details on this. We will probably have a Zoom meeting, but that is yet to be decided. The Chamber would like to ask members to please try to attend the general membership meetings whether they are in person or on Zoom.

5th grade students at St. Alphonsus School decided to give rather than to receive this year. Instead of buying each other a Christmas gift, they decided to give gifts to kids around the world who would not get a Christmas gift this year. Starting in October, the students started to do things at home to earn money that they could donate to buy Christmas gifts through a program called Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse. With the help (and donations) of their parents, the students brought in money to buy Christmas gifts for 6 children. Operation Christmas Child has delivered 157 million gift-filled shoeboxes to boys and girls around the world. Through this program, these impoverished children receive a gift and hear about the greatest gift, Jesus. In addition, we had a student bring in an extra donation to give money to Samaritan’s Purse to help others. Samaritan’s Purse has a Christmas gift catalog where you can choose where you want to your donation to go. Cole chose to give his donation to malnourished babies. The money will provide nutritious food for desperately hungry children and little ones who are already malnourished. The money provides food for babies and helps share the love of God with their parent.

Countdown to Giving Hearts Day It feels so good to be in 2021. It feels hopeful. I also feel hopeful about Giving Hearts Day. We are a month away from being one of the new non-profits participating in Giving Hearts Day! The big day is Thursday, Feb. 11. Wherever you are, wear red on that day and think of all of us at St. Alphonsus School. Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour fundraising event for non-profits in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. Since the first event in 2008, generous donors have given more than $90 million – 100% of which goes directly to participating charities. We are working on finalizing our match dollars, which have come from a variety of generous businesses, families, and individuals in our community. We have been humbled and moved to tears at the outpouring of support for this fundraiser already, and we are so thankful. We know we have another part of the puzzle to complete. Once we have our match dollars secured, our goal is to double the amount on Feb. 11. The awesome thing about Giving Hearts Day is that gifts of $10 or more are matched. There are 3 ways you can donate and be a giving heart!

It was another busy week for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team, as they had three games right after the New Year's holiday. They lost at Carrington 51-37 on January 2, beat North Border in Walhalla on January 4, then dominated Rolla 81-23 on January 5. After playing at Midway-Minto on January 7, the Lady Cards will play at Cavalier on January 11 then have two District 8 home games: St. John on January 12 then North Star on January 15. The Cards are now 5-3 on the season and ranked eighth state-wide in the latest media poll. Here is a recap of their last three games: Carrington 51, Langdon-EdmoreMunich 37 The Cardinals got into some foul trouble early against the Carrington. Cards junior forward Morgan Freije picked up two personals very early in the first quarter and sat most of the first half. Still the Lady Cards battled, playing great defense, but Langdon-Edmore-Munich would have trouble get shots to drop and even had a tough time getting good looks at the basket, as they trailed at halftime 23-21. The inside duo of Carrington's Sydnie Grager and Hannah Hagel would prove to be too much in the second half, as they scored 20 of Carrington's 28 second half points. They outscored Langdon-Edmore-Munich 28-16 in the second half, 12-4 in the fourth quarter. Freije had a team high 13 points for Lady Cards followed by Lexi Olson with nine. Grager had 22 and Hagel 14 for Carrington. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 67, North Border 16 After the tough loss at Carrington, the Cardinals would get right back at it versus the Eagles in
Walhalla. The Lady Cards would shake off that earlier defeat in a hurry, as they jumped right on North

The Cards had 12 girls get into the score book, led by Jaya Henderson and Taylor Lorenz with 10 apiece. The Eagles were led by Jenna Fraser with seven.

Cards pull away from Aggies in second half, beat PRFL 72-42 to stay unbeaten By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys basketball team came to Park River on January 4 with an unbeaten 3-0 record. The Cardinals overcame tough shooting in the first half to win by 30 points, 72-42. With the Cards now at 4-0 and after playing at Hatton on January 8, they have three games in the week ahead: at Cavalier on January 11 in McVille, versus Dakota Prairie on January 14, then they will finally have their first home game in just over a month on January 16 versus eighth ranked Rugby. The Cardinals are now ranked fifth in the latest media poll, and this week received one first place vote. In their game at PRFL, the Cardinals shot just 32 percent in the first half. Langdon-Edmore-Munich used a balanced scoring attack to build a 31-22 halftime lead. The second half would be much different as full court pressure defense got the Cardinals rolling, outscoring the Aggies 21-6 in the second quarter. Their three seniors paved the way in the run. Jagger Worley scored nine points, Simon Romfo seven and Grant Romfo five. The Cards would more than make up for their poor shooting in the first half, as they went 18 for 32 from the floor in the second half, a red-hot 56 percent. Passing and rebounding have been a big part of the Cardinals success this year, and the game with
PRFL was no exception. They had 22 assists as a team, led by Worley with six, and they outrebounded the Aggies 41-22, led by Worley 11 with seven of them coming off the offensive glass. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had four players reach double figures for the game: Simon Romfo with 22, Worley with 18, Grant Romfo 16, and Gage Goodman, who had a career high 10 points. PRFL 6 foot 6 center Sam Hagen had 23 points for the Aggies.

Prairie Fare: Set a health goal for the new year
As we all experienced, 2020 was a year for the history books in many ways. Back in October of 2020, we had an unseasonably early storm. The snow blanketed the region with several inches of snow, which melted to form a layer of ice. I recall walking like a penguin to put my work bag and other items in the car at 7 a.m. that fateful morning. My husband followed me out the door. I heard some commotion behind me and turned to see my husband flipping backward on the ice. He seemed to be moving in slow motion. By the sounds he emitted, I knew this was not just an annoying slip. His arm was hanging awkwardly by his side when he managed to stand upright. Long story short, he had major shoulder repair surgery followed by ongoing physical and occupational therapy. Even worse (for me, anyway): I have to shovel the snow this winter or find someone to do it. However, I would rather shovel snow than endure my husband’s recovery process. Fortunately, we did not have measurable snow from October through most of December. We bought “cleats” to strap on our shoes or boots and help us navigate the ice in 2021. Winter can be hazardous to our health in many ways. If you are the shoveler, be sure to warm up your muscles by walking in place and stretching your arms and muscles. You might want to do your warmups in the house away from the ice. Here is some other advice: • Dress in layers, with polypropylene as the inner layer. Your outer layer should be wind resistant. • Avoid caffeine or nicotine before beginning outdoor activity. These stimulants increase your heart rate. • Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration can be as big an issue in the winter as in the summer. Let’s look forward to 2021. On the bright side, I should be stronger and in better shape with my upcoming snow removal. Do you have a goal or two for the new year? Remember the SMART acronym for goal setting in five steps. This process works whether you are sav-
ing for a house, vacation or retirement, or whether you are trying to lose weight or eat a more healthful diet. 1. Set a “specific” goal. For example, what exactly do you want to accomplish healthwise in the coming year? Do you want to get more exercise, eat a more healthful diet or lose weight? 2. Be sure the goal is “measurable.” If increasing your amount of exercise is a goal, how will you track it? You can keep track of time spent exercising or number of miles walked, jogged, run or swum. You can track steps taken based on a wearable tracker. 3. Make sure the goal is “attainable.” Start simple and be sure you need to “reach” a bit toward your goals. The goals should not be beyond your grasp. If you are starting an exercise program, be sure to talk with a health-care provider. 4. Be sure the goal is “realistic.” Do you have what you need to accomplish the goal? 5. Finally, be sure the goal is “timely.” When are you going to start? Schedule it on your calendar. If improving your nutrition is a goal, see https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/food and check out the “Healthwise” and “Nourish” resources, along with healthful recipes. Be sure to sign up for the free electronic newsletters with motivating tips. Warm your body and spirit with some nourishing soup such as this colorful and flavorful soup.

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Springtime in the Tundra? We can't say enough about how awesome it has been so far this winter. It's been right around the freezing mark of 32 degrees for high temps the first week of January, and the week ahead looks like more of the same. Possibly 40 above on Jan. 13, are you kidding me? And while we probably are going to see some more seasonal temperatures the week after, we certainly will take what we are getting. So, let's enjoy while we can, because as we all say in North Dakota, if you want to see the weather change, just wait 20 minutes. Cardinals girls and boys basketball teams begin a long string of home games this week; Fan attendance moved up to 50 percent capacity There have been a lot of road games this season for both the Langdon-Edmore-Munich girls and boys basketball teams, but that will finally change into several home
games throughout the rest of the month of January. It starts with the Lady Cards hosting St. John on Jan. 12 and North Star Jan. 15. The Cards boys team will be playing their first home game in just over a month, hosting eighth ranked Rugby on Jan. 16. These home games coincide perfectly with North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum moving all counties in the state back to the yellow status, which, as of this writing, means that the Cardinals will now allow up to 50 percent capacity in the gym for home games. Also, you can just walk up and buy a ticket to see a contest, and there will be concessions back open and available. This is all good news, and other gyms like North Border in Walhalla are following suit. Now this could all change in an instant, but that is the plan for right now. Hopefully, you can get out and see the Cards in action soon, as the boys are ranked fifth in the state, and the girls are eighth in latest media polls. Langdon girls hockey looking forward to a three game home stand Dakota Spirit Arena is, of course,
a very busy place this time of year. The Langdon Blades girls hockey team, off to a 2-1 start at press time, are looking forward to three games at home the weekend of Jan. 15-17. After playing in a Bottineau Tournament the weekend of Jan. 8-10, the girls will host Wahpeton at 8:00 p.m. on Jan. 15, Fargo at 7:00 p.m. Jan. 16, then West Fargo the afternoon of Jan. 17 at 12 Noon. Meanwhile the junior boys, after having two home games on Jan. 8 and 10, have just one game on the schedule for the weekend ahead at Grand Forks on Jan. 16. We wish both teams the best of luck in their upcoming contests. Highway 5 Pool League back in action We are a little late to the table with this last tidbit of information, but the Highway 5 Pool League has resumed play after taking over a month off due to COVID-19 restrictions. They will be playing on Thursday nights in Langdon and Nekoma. We hope that they have good luck racking things back up and hope that everyone stays healthy. "See ya!" next week!
workers will ask focused questions, gather needed facts, work with supervisors to triage reports and provide a complete intake referral to local CPS professionals when reports meet criteria.” She said this will allow local CPS professionals to act more quickly to protect children while devoting more time to strengthening and supporting families while they are still together, which will help children remain safe in their family homes. This aligns with a key department priority: building stronger families. Having a specialized intake unit will also ensure more consistency and should reduce the need for call backs. If one intake worker is busy, the line will roll to another. “The safety and well-being of children remain our top priorities. Redesigning this process will provide consistent, high quality and timely responses,” Stolt said. Children and Family Services Division Director Cory Pedersen explained that local child welfare professionals will continue to provide child protection services locally. “Law enforcement and health
care professionals who need a CPS worker to respond to their location immediately will continue to call their local human service zone office directly. However, supporting documents should be faxed to the new centralized CPS Intake Unit at 701-328-0361,” Pedersen said. He said the CPS Intake Unit will log reports consistently into the state’s FRAME child welfare case management system, using a new intake form to assure needed details are gathered as quickly and completely as possible, and will request records such as medical or police records if appropriate. Cases will be transferred to the local CPS supervisor in the county where the child is located when the report is made. The supervisor will assign the case to a local CPS worker. The local CPS supervisors and workers are responsible for notifying law enforcement of potential criminal situations. Information about North Dakota’s child protection program is online at www.nd.gov/dhs/services/ childfamily/cps.
North Dakota launches new child protection services intake process featuring toll-free statewide child abuse and neglect reporting number The North Dakota Department of Human Services and the state’s 19 human service zones announced the launch today of a statewide tollfree child abuse and neglect reporting line that is part of a new child protection services (CPS) intake process. Beginning Jan. 4, individuals who suspect a child is being abused or neglected in North Dakota should call 833-958-3500, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Central Time (7 a.m. – 4 p.m. Mountain Time) to make a report. If a child is in immediate danger, people should call 9-1-1. The department’s Chief Operating Officer Sara Stolt explained that the change is part of the ongoing collaboration between the state and local partners to provide human services more efficiently and effectively. “During this latest social service redesign effort, we created a new statewide centralized intake unit staffed by a dedicated team of 12 specialized CPS intake workers and two supervisors who live and work across the state in the human service zones,” Stolt said. “The CPS intake
Dakota Gardener: Gardening in the winter By Esther McGinnis, Horticulturist NDSU Extension Gardening catalogs are arriving in the mailbox and my inbox is flooded with emails from seed companies touting the newest vegetable cultivars. I’m starting to get the itch to get my hands dirty, but my garden is covered in 6 inches of snow. What can a gardening addict do? Grow microgreens indoors! Pioneered by the Chicago chef Charlie Trotter, microgreens are young, densely seeded vegetables or herbs that are grown in containers for one to four weeks before being harvested. Microgreens are sometimes called vegetable confetti and are a flavorful and nutritious topping for sandwiches, soups, pizzas and salads. Easy-to-grow microgreens include radish, cress, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, broccoli and mustard greens. From seed to harvest, these crops take seven to 14 days, depending upon the temperature of your house. Mixes of different microgreen seeds also are sold and usually labeled as mild or spicy in flavor. I like the spicy mixes because they usually contain peppery mustard greens. More challenging crops, taking three to four weeks to mature, include beet, carrot, cilantro, basil, parsley and amaranth greens. The herbs tend to prefer warmer temperatures than the vegetables. Not to be confused with sprouts, microgreens typically are grown in shallow containers with approximately 1 to 2 inches of new potting soil. A wide range of containers can be used. Some people prefer 10- by 20-inch seed flats. I’ve used shallow aluminum roasting pans and the plastic containers that once held let-
tuce mixes from the grocery store. Ensure that the container is clean for food safety purposes. Seeds can be sourced from local garden centers or from online seed companies. Due to the large number of seeds used, buying seeds in bulk is more economical. Buying seeds labeled for microgreen use ensures that the seeds have not been treated with a fungicide and that they are appropriate for human consumption. Microgreen seeds are scattered uniformly on top of the moistened potting soil at a density of approximately 10 seeds per square inch. Larger seeds will require lower densities. Do not cover the seeds with potting soil. Instead, water them with a spray bottle and cover the container with a plastic dome or plastic wrap. After the seeds have germinated, you must remove the cover to allow air movement and place the container near a sunny window or under grow lights. Check daily to make sure that the soil has not dried out. Harvest the microgreens when they are 1 to 2 inches in height. They are at their most nutritious and tender when they are harvested at the cotyledon stage (first set of leaves) before the true leaves (second set) develop. Harvesting is done by using clean scissors to clip the shoots just above the soil line. Microgreens should be rinsed and consumed raw like salad greens. Fresh homegrown greens are a wonderful luxury in the middle of winter. Surprise your family with some microgreens for dinner. Happy gardening!

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings December 15, 2020 On December 15, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there was limited audience capacity in the courthouse meeting rooms. Webex was utilized for those wanting to attend the meeting virtually. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by David Zeis; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz asked for an update on the open position on the Education Board. Lisa Gellner stated she reached out to Elsie Magnus and she was willing to accept the position. Nick Moser made a motion to appoint Elsie Magnus to the Education Board, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. The upcoming Christmas Eve holiday was discussed, in light of President Trump declaring it a holiday for all federal employees. Nick Moser made a motion to follow President Trump’s declaration. It was decided a motion was not necessary being the employee policy manual already included it. Anita Beauchamp, Clerk of Court, met with the commissioners and presented her proposed Court Facilities Grant Application. David Zeis made a motion to approve the application as proposed, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Austin Lafrenz abstained from the vote due to a conflict of interest with the flooring quote for the grant. Greg Goodman signed the application as Vice Chairman. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners. Johnston had the DOT Final Certification for the road striping project signed by the commission. The summary of hours for the roadmen was reviewed. There was concern raised about Gene Feil’s hours for November, as well as a couple other personnel issues. It was decided that David Zeis, Austin Lafrenz, Gene Feil, and HR would meet to address the timekeeping issue. There was discussion with Daley on possible special funding through ND DOT without any local match for the structure south of Milton on County 45. There was also discussion on location for DOT traffic counters in 2021. David Zeis presented a proposal on behalf of Greg Fetsch to purchase a computerized active shooter virtual training program for the officers. Zeis explained that it has been difficult to access enough ammunition and it has taken a significant increase in cost. Donations had been received from the community for a large portion of the cost of the $13,200.00 for the active shooter training program. Zeis stated there was a possibility that they could train officers from other counties with certified instructors in the Sheriff’s Department. Later in the meeting the commissioners spoke
to Greg Fetsch via phone conference regarding the purchase and Lisa Gellner reached out to Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney to make sure he was comfortable with donations being used for the purchase. The commissioners decided to approved the purchase once Greg Fetch is able to tell them how much he received in donations and how much would be paid from his budget. Steph Welsh, Public Health; Candace Carlson and Allen McKay, Lake Region Public Health; met virtually with the commissioners to review the county’s Sewage Treatment System Rules & Regulations. There was discussion on permits needed for new septic systems being installed, as well as inspections required when selling a house with a septic system and/or well. It was explained that Cavalier County contracts with Lake Region Public Health for the permits and inspections. Options for the buyer and seller to sign an agreement for a 90-day trial period when selling a house were also discussed. A resolution by the ND Association of Counties for the upcoming legislative session was also discussed which would require much more uniform sewer requirements and regulations state-wide. Shannon Duerr, JDA, met with the commissioners virtually and presented proposed board members for open board positions. Nick Moser made a motion to appoint the following recommended individuals to the Job Development Authority Board: Patrick Rime, Austin Lafrenz, Marcus Lewis, Duane Otto, and Jeff Stanley, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Greg Goodman and Austin Lafrenz abstained from voting due to conflicts of interest. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $43,200.00 from Special County Highway Fund to Road and Bridge Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $300.00 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Fund, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $145.22 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to transfer $1,452.20 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $21,682.25 from Vanguard Receivables Fund to County General Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $2.30 from County Poor Fund to County General Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Stanley Dick informed the commissioners that Aaron Birst from ND Association of Counties is drafting a bill to increase the Forest Stewardship Program tax from 50¢ per acre to $2 per acre, based on it being an outdated amount in the NDCC. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by David Zeis to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: QUALITY SPECIALTY PRODUCTS & PRINTING, CLERK_______ 38.05 US IMAGING INC, RECORDER___

COVID-19 vaccine scams With the first coronavirus vaccines in the U.S. now authorized, government officials are warning that scammers will try to capitalize on the historic step to steal your money. Fraudsters are using telemarketing calls, text messages, social media platforms and door-to-door visits to perpetrate COVID-19-related scams, according to the U.S. Department of Health. Be wary of anyone who offers you a vaccine or asks for money to enhance your ranking for vaccine eligibility. If you see an offer to reserve your vaccine for a fee, you know it’s a scam. Also, government officials will not call you to obtain personal information in order to receive the vaccine. Here are five things to know: 1. Initially, the vaccine will be available in limited quantities, so people should turn to trusted resources — their doctor or local health department — for guidance. 2. People should not buy any kind of coronavirus vaccine or treatment on the Internet or from an online pharmacy. 3. Doses of vaccine purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars will be provided to patients at no cost. Providers, though, may charge an administration fee and have that fee
reimbursed by insurance companies. There’s also a means of reimbursement for those who are uninsured. 4. Consumers should not respond to any solicitations about the vaccine. 5. People should not give credit card numbers or any other form of payment to suspicious callers, nor should they divulge personal, medical or financial information. Stay vigilant about COVID-19 scams related to vaccines, treatments, test kits and personal protective equipment. AARP North Dakota will be conducting a COVID-19 vaccination telephone town hall at 11 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 14. Learn about the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in North Dakota and find out when you and your loved ones will have access to the vaccine. You can participate in the town hall by dialing 877-229-8493, or sign up to be called at the start of the town hall at https://vekeo.com/aarpnorthdakota/ If you think you have fallen victim to any type of scam, call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 877-908-3360 for guidance and support, or visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www. aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork.

“And You Thought Lutefisk Was Gross!!” This is the title of a gag gift recipe booklet Shirley Rockwell of Bloomington, Minn. and her sister, Betty Goodman, of Burnsville, compiled for family members one Christmas after cooking an old family favorite (lutefisk) for the younger generation. Their younger generation were not enthusiastic about the family treat so they added to the gift collection of recipes other dishes that actually were not as tasty or enjoyable as lutefisk. After reading a recent Langdon Long Ago column on ethnic delicacies some love and others shudder over, they sent me the 12 recipes in their family gift. While I would love to keep the booklet for myself, it really deserves a spot in the North Dakota Room at the library where others could enjoy it as well. As a result, I decided to donate the booklet to the library after I had written about their gift. Shirley and Betty are the daughters of Steve and Ella Goodman so grew up at Milton with both Icelandic and Scandinavian heritage. This means they knew first-hand about lutefisk and various products of butchering days like suet and kinds of sausage. Both enjoyed lutefisk the way their mother and others prepared it and recalled purchasing the lutefisk at Waind’s store in Milton where it was kept in a big wooden barrel filled with a lye water solution. Today they still cook it for a special treat and know the best places in the Minneapolis area to purchase high quality lutefisk. Like other lutefisk lovers, they have discovered succeeding generations do not inherit a taste for all their favorite delicacies. The gag cookbook includes real recipes for lutefisk prepared in different ways, plus some ethnic-type recipes I would personally avoid because the blood content on the ingredient list seemed a bit too high. The previous column had mentioned my cousins making head cheese, which was a delicacy I did not recall seeing, eating or featured in local cookbooks. Shirley and Betty got their head cheese recipe
Cavalier County Republican
from www.cooks.com, and the ingredients are worth repeating: 1 pig’s head, 4 pig’s feet, 2 pig’s ears. Place in a large, deep pot and add water to cover. The next items listed are 2 medium onions, whole, and one bunch celery including the leafy tops. If you consider these items to be seasoning you might want to chop or cut them up, but the instructions do not mention them again. Add to the pot 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons salt. Cover the pot and boil over a low flame for 2 to 3 hours until the meat leaves the bone. Mince the meat coarsely and arrange on mold or pan. Add one cup of vinegar to the juice remaining in the pot. Pour this liquid over the meat in its mold. Refrigerate until the mold has set or congealed. When cold, slice and serve. Migrating to North Dakota: On December 15 Laird Siemens sent an e-mail to the City of Langdon and the Chamber of Commerce asking for help in locating his grandfather’s homestead. On December 28 Barb Melhoff called the library and asked if I would like to read the message and then sent it over by email. The print was small so part of the message I did not read on the first go-round and had to go back a few days later to find more of the story. But on the first reading, I noticed the people involved had some familiar names; they had left North Dakota to homestead in Saskatchewan in 1913 (the date homesteading opened there), and Siemens had mentioned the Rosehill Mennonite Church with four children from their family buried in that church’s cemetery. It took about five minutes to walk back to the North Dakota Room, find the cemetery book with Rosehill in it and locate his long ago family land in Moscow Township. There were no listings in the cemetery book under the Schmor family name. In the meantime, we exchanged more emails, and I had a chance to consult the Wales and Munich Centennial books in hopes of answering some of Siemens’ additional questions. As it happened, the grandfather whose claim he was asking about was born in Henderson, Nebraska, as were dozens of others who would eventually live in Cavalier County. Herman Schmor, grandfather of Laird Siemens, had been
Langdon Long Ago
only a year old when their family came to Cavalier County as part of a wagon train from Henderson. Most, or possibly all, of the group in this wagon train had been part of a Mennonite Brethren Church in Henderson who had sent someone to scout out the land and been told that there were homesteads available in Waterloo, Moscow, and Henderson Townships. In retrospect I realized that Henderson was not named until after this group of new settlers arrived. The older members of the group planning to migrate to North Dakota had been born in Russia or the Ukraine and had been immigrating to America and Canada since about 1874 as groups. Earlier they had lived in colonies in Russia with colony names of Kleefeld, Molotschna, and Chortitza - ones even I knew had ties to Cavalier County. Another group, not all the same branch of Mennonites, had lived in colonies along the Volga like Dreispitz and places whose names were changed when the Communists came into power. On this side of the ocean, they had formed new colonies at Henderson in Nebraska, Hesston and Newton in Kansas, Mountain Lake in Minnesota, and in Manitoba at Steinfeld, Morden and Winkler. The same names appeared in these widely separated communities so probably there was an earlier family relationship. The reasons for moving from each of those “new” colonies varied but in all cases the groups adopted private ownership rather than the
colony format they had been assigned to in Russia and took up homesteads. Drought in Kansas and Nebraska influenced their decisions. In Minnesota those who wanted land were finding it difficult to live and feed their families on the small claims available and chose North Dakota as it was yet not completely settled. Prices for crops and shipping to market influenced the setters crossing the line from Manitoba. Grandfather Herman Schmor recorded his memories in a book that has not been published which Laird Siemens inherited when his mother died and found very interesting. That started his search for the claim and a desire to come to Cavalier County himself. In the meantime, looking for facts that would answer his questions led me to ask around among people who came with his family or settled on claims nearby. Checking to see how many would be in already published centennial books led to some private publications of family histories. Allen Wiens found an excerpt from a story by J.J. Enns titled “600 Miles to the North Pole in Covered Wagons and Horses.” Enns lists them starting out May 3, 1897, from Henderson and arriving five weeks later in Moscow Township. Notes by Siemen’s grandfather lists their group coming in 1899, and another group listing Enns and Fadenrecht families mentions 1898. My personal guess, which is often wrong, is that rather than the dates being wrong there were groups coming in each
of those years, and because they already had family here the names were the same. The 1895 map of Berlin Township (now Waterloo) list the following families of former Mennonite heritage living primarily in the south half of the township: Cornelius Krahn, Peter and Jacob Wiens, William Derksen, Henrick Froase, Johann and David Fehr, Esbrand Harder, Jacob Spenst Sr., Jacob Spenst Jr., Gerhard Spenst, John Spenst, J. B. Reiber, Peter Penner, Abraham Krahn, Jacob Veer Jr., Peter Spenst, John Veer Jr., John Veer Sr., and John Veer. Moscow Township to the west had Peter Fast, Jacob and Abraham Toews, Johann Veer and Heinrich Bartel. Some of their descendants have suggested this group had lived in Manitoba for a time before coming to Cavalier County. Henderson and Gordon Townships had none of the known settlers recorded on the 1895 map although some may have arrived that year. Those coming later in the 1890s included the Loewen, Schanz, Heimbecker and other families who settled in Gordon and settlers from Henderson, Nebraska, who named their township for their old home. Trier, Huron and Bruce settlers came around the turn of the century. Stay tuned. Some of the later stories are in printed form, and when they arrive we will pass on more about both the Rosehill community and its now closed church as well as memories shared by wagon train members.
The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) provided an update Thursday regarding COVID-19 vaccine priority groups. “Vaccine distribution in North Dakota has gone well the first three weeks,” said Molly Howell, NDDoH Immunization Director. “Although vaccine supply continues to be very limited, North Dakotans should monitor messaging from their local health departments and health care providers for more information on when they are able to be vaccinated.” The North Dakota COVID-19 Vaccination Ethics Committee, which includes a physician, ethicist, local public health representative,
representative of the Department of Human Services and a representative of the Department of Health, has recommended who should receive the still-limited supply of the vaccine. Though health care providers are still working through Phase 1A— comprised of frontline health care workers, first responders and longterm care residents and staff—the ethics committee has prioritized who will qualify for Phases 1B and 1C. Phase 1B (in order of priority): • Persons age 75 and older • Persons age 65 – 74 with two or more high-risk medical conditions • Staff and persons living in other congregate settings (i.e., corrections, group homes, treatment centers, homeless shelters, etc.) • Persons age 65 and older with one or more high-risk medical conditions • Persons age 65 and older with or without high-risk medical conditions • Persons with two or more highrisk medical conditions regardless of age • Child care workers • Workers employed by preschools or Kindergarten through 12th grade: • Teachers, nutritional services, aides, bus drivers, principals, administrative staff, custodians, etc. Phase 1C (in order of priority): • North Dakota National Guard, not previously covered • Grocery Workers • Public safety answering points (911) • Manufacturing related to the development or supply of COV-
ID-19 vaccine • Other health care/public health workers not included in phase 1A • Free standing clinical laundries • Public transit, including bus, taxi, ride-share • Persons age 16 – 64 with one or more high-risk medical conditions • Blood bank workers not previously vaccinated • Information technology • All other essential workers per Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) NDDoH will announce when the state will move on to Phase 1B. It is anticipated that this may occur in mid-January. Depending on local vaccine acceptance and supply, it is possible that different areas of the state may be vaccinating within different priority levels. In the future, vaccinefinder.org will be populated with more information about vaccine availability in different areas across North Dakota. Following Phase 1C, the state will move to Phase 2, which includes the general public. Citizens wishing to be vaccinated during their phase can call their health care provider or local public health department to determine when they can receive their vaccination. To date, 19,097 health care workers and long-term care residents in North Dakota have received their COVID-19 vaccination. More than 2.5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the United States. For more information on the COVID-19 vaccine and phases of vaccination, visit health. nd.gov/covidvaccine.
