HND presents Adler and Wehner: Critical issues facing our democracy By Linda Timian Republican Writer

Early Deadline Notice

Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889

Humanities North Dakota held a virtual discussion and debate about Critical Issues Facing our Democracy with Dr. David Adler and Peter Wehner on Tuesday, November 9, 2021. Adler is the president of the Alturas Institute and writes the “We the People” column that appears on the Opinion page. Wehner is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a lifelong Republican and contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and the Atlantic magazine and has served in three Republican administrations. All opinions expressed are their own. Dr. Larry Skogen, president emeritus at Bismarck State College, moderated the debate. Skogen began with the primary question, “What is the critical issue facing our democracy?” Adler singled out voter suppression as the major threat to our democracy. The right to vote is the cornerstone of American democracy. Some 20 legislatures over the past nine months or so have initiated or otherwise enacted laws that will make it extremely difficult for many Americans to vote. Wehner felt it was the assault on truth. Without truth, a free society doesn’t really exist. We all interpret data based on the presuppositions we hold; that is nothing new. What is new is the effort to murder the idea of truth. The chief perpetrator, though not the only one, has been Donald Trump, who was and continues to be a great

threat to American society. The assault on truth manifests itself in different ways. One example is the effort to overthrow the election, the so-called “stop the steal” campaign. People believe something that is a lie, that the 2020 election was stolen. This is shaking American democracy at its foundations. Adler agreed and said the great problem posed to our country is the loss of agreement on facts and the continuing attack on reason and truth. He also agreed that the principal provocateur is likely Trump. Politicians from the federal, state, and local levels will continue to embrace this tactic of denying reason and truth due to Trump’s success at doing so. Adler fears for the future of our democracy when we cannot agree on what constitutes a fact, when we cannot agree that we need to pursue the truth. Skogen prompted further, how did we get here, how did this happen? Wehner said it is a complicated question and likely several things have happened. There has been an enormous loss of trust in authority figures and in our political system. An example of this is not deferring to leading epidemiologists in a health crisis. Social media is a driving factor, and it’s hard to overstate the import of social media getting people incensed, angry, and in a state of perpetual frustration. Wehner sees populism in both parties but particularly the Republican party. The founding fathers and Lincoln were very wary about the dangers of populism, which could lead to a kind

of mob mentality. There used to be conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans which helped bridge the political divide, but people have begun to go into political tribes and show animosity and outright hatred toward people in the other party, thinking those people want to destroy the country. Adler said democracy does not function well if we look at people with whom we disagree as the enemy. He pointed out that the assault on expertise, the denial of facts, and the attack on truth and reason reflect Trump’s assault on freedom of the press. In the past, it was generally agreed upon that we could get facts and accurate reporting from the nation’s leading newspapers and that provided a foundation for us to discuss public events and public policy. The attack on freedom of the press, viewing it as Trump said, “the enemy of the people,” has taken us to a very dark place in this country. Wehner’s parents used to watch ABC, NBC, and CBS and the story selection was virtually the same. Later, as a conservative, he felt story selection had a liberal slant. If a person is liberal, you probably would not have noticed it. If you were more conservative, you would have sensed the different perspective. When Fox was founded in 1995, that version of Fox News was helpful. They gave a responsible, balanced view from a more conservative perspective. However, Wehner feels that Fox has jumped the rails and is probably one of the most dangerous

institutions in American life. He feels Tucker Carlson perpetrates many of the things that he is talking about. Skogen said that reminded him of the saying, “Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but not to their facts.” When we watched Walter Cronkite, we knew we were getting the facts, but with Eric Sevareid, we knew he was giving his opinion. Adler said one thing that would help provide some clarity to the public is for networks and other cable stations to present reporters as reporters, and pundits as pundits. When you blur the line, it becomes difficult for the public to know whether they are hearing a news report or the political slant of a reporter. Skogen went on to discuss the lack of political center, that everybody seems to be out on the ends of the spectrum. Were there any comparisons from the 1850s to what we’re seeing going on right now? Wehner and Adler disagreed on the underlying cause of the political unrest. While Adler feels the public policy issues are fueling the social and cultural unrest, Wehner felt it was basically the reverse, that the social and cultural unrest is fueling the divisiveness of the issues. Wehner said the 1850s is an example a lot of people come up with. Right now, a majority of Trump supporters and a minority of Biden supporters want to succeed from the union. The nation is in a very acrimonious and perilous cont. on page 2

JDA to offer grants for ND Career Builders Staples opens Screamin’ Beans there as well as many hot and By Linda Timian Republican Writer

The Langdon City Commission recently approved $25,000 to be appropriated to the Cavalier County Job Development Authority (CCJDA) in order to provide grants to Cavalier County businesses to help with matching funds for the North Dakota Career Builders Scholarship and Loan Repayment Program. “Workforce is such an issue everywhere,” said CCJDA Director Shannon Duerr. “Langdon is not alone; it’s throughout the whole state. A lot of our employers are having difficulties finding people.” The ND Career Builders Scholarship and Loan Repayment program is a tool for businesses to recruit and retain talent in high-need and emerging occupations in the state. It is a state-business partnership that provides $1 of state funds for each $1 of private sector matching funds, up to a total of $17,000 per recipient. Many students are being offered student loan repayment when they’re looking for jobs. Putting this kind of program in place will help businesses in Cavalier

County be more competitive. “This is where JDA ‘s new program will come in,” said Duerr. “If the business is approved by the North Dakota University System and they have an employee selected, CCJDA will provide 50% of the business's match or 80% of non-profit's match.”

This means a business would only need to invest $4250 over a 3-year period for a student or employee to receive the maximum $17,000 in loan repayment. The investment for a nonprofit would be $1700. In return, the student would sign an agreement to live and work in the Cavalier County region and remain employed with the business for 3 years. The job position must be located in Cavalier County, and the occupation must be on the emerging and high demand occupation list developed by the state to be eligible for the funding. The categories on the list are education,

engineering & architecture, financial, healthcare, information technology, management, professional/other, sales, skilled trade, social services, and transportation. “There are several that would fit Cavalier County,” said Duerr. “There’s a lot of medical positions, so our hospital would benefit. There’s a lot of teaching type positions so the school will benefit. There’s also a lot of the trades for people looking for mechanics, farm technicians, things like that.” The program is capped at $25,000 for the first year but may be revisited at a later date. It will be on a first come, first served basis. Each application is subject to approval by the CCJDA Board and is contingent upon being approved for the NDUS Career Builders Program. Businesses must apply through the state and the NDUS, so if you are interested, contact Duerr at the CCJDA office in the courthouse. Companies who participate will offer full-time employment with competitive wages once the qualifying applicant is hired cont. on page 3

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

A city of governors The community of Casselton is unique in North Dakota and probably in the nation because in 132 years of statehood, Casselton, now with a population of 2,500, has produced five governors. Most places couldn’t do that in 260 years; yet, this little town 20 miles west of Fargo is known for this unusual fact. Andrew Burke In 1880 he and his wife, Caroline, arrived in Casselton, and he worked as a cashier with First National Bank, Casselton. On Nov. 4, 1890, he was elected governor by a popular vote. During his term, the Normal Schools at Valley City and Mayville were established and Fargo became the site of the state’s Agricultural College (now North Dakota State University). He was defeated in the gubernatorial race of 1892 and left the state a year later. William Langer William “Wild Bill” Langer was the valedictorian of his 1904 Casselton High School class. He earned a bachelor of law degree from the University of North Dakota but was too young to practice law. He served as North Dakota’s attorney general from 1916 to 1920, running on the Non Partisan League ticket. By the time he was elected governor in 1932, North Dakota was in dire economic straits. Langer issued moratoriums on foreclosures of farms and issued an embargo on wheat so it couldn’t be shipped out of the state. After 15 months in office he was indicted by a federal grand jury for his policy of collecting 5 percent of administration employees’ salaries for political purposes, was sentenced, and removed from office. By the 1936 election, Langer had been acquitted of the felony charge and was again elected governor. In 1940 he was elected to the U.S. Senate. William Guy Bill Guy was born in Devils Lake and served in the Navy in World War II. He was elected governor in 1961 on the Democratic-NPL ticket and went on to serve two two-year terms and

two four-year terms. Guy modernized state government by implementing the new Office of Management and Budget. He also established the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award as North Dakota’s highest recognition. In 1966 he was elected chair of the National Governor’s Conference. George Sinner George Sinner was born in Fargo and raised in Casselton. Sinner began his political career in the late 1950s. He was elected to the N.D. Senate in 1962 on the Democratic-NPL ticket. Sinner became North Dakota’s governor in 1985 and served two four-year terms. During his administration, there was a farm crisis in North Dakota caused by the worst droughts since the Great Depression and the state celebrated its centennial. There was some reorganization in state government, particularly in the Economic Development Commission. Sinner served as co-chair of the US-Canada Task Force of the National Governor ’s Association and chair of the Association’s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. Following his second term as North Dakota governor, Sinner served as vice president of public and government relations for the Crystal Sugar Company in Moorhead, Minn. Throughout his career, he remained active in his farming operation near Casselton. Sinner has received honorary doctorate degrees from NDSU, the University of North Dakota, and his alma mater, St. John’s University. Jack Dalrymple Jack Dalrymple was sworn in as North Dakota’s 32nd governor on Dec. 7, 2010, after Gov. John Hoeven was elected to a U.S. Senate seat replacing Byron Dorgan. Dalrymple grew up near Casselton on the family farm, established in 1875 by his greatgrandfather. He graduated from Yale University in 1970. Dalrymple was elected in 1985 to represent a rural Cass County district in the North Dakota House of Representatives. He served eight terms, including six years as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. In 2000, he was elected lieutenant governor along with Hoeven, and he was re-elected in 2004 and 2008. Dalrymple was the founding board chairman of Carrington-based Dakota Growers Pasta Company.

Letter to Editor

Letter to the editor, Update on the new N.D. legislative map Big population gains in North Dakota made for big changes to the state’s legislative map during the 2021 redistricting process. This is a big deal, because the new map will be used for the 2022 through 2030 legislative elections in our state. To see North Dakota’s new legislative map, go to legis.nd.gov. It took about three months to put together. The 2021 Redistricting Committee adhered to 47 districts, the same as the prior map. Political observers will notice major changes to Districts 4, 8, 9, 10, 19, 23, 26, 27, and 39 compared to maps approved in 2001 and 2011. Districts 4 and 9 have been subdivided for the House into “A” and “B” districts. All these changes affect more than 30 current legislators. To be clear, Districts 10, 23 and 26 are completely new districts and their former population has been absorbed by neighboring districts. And, the subdivision of two House districts containing Native American reservations - 4 and

9 - make North Dakota compliant with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since five even-numbered districts now have 25 percent or more new voters, they will have to campaign for election in 2022. These districts include 8, 20, 28, 36, and 44. Only odd-numbered districts are supposed to be up for election in 2022, so that’s why we’re pointing this out. Additionally, there may be House races in District 4 due to the subdivision. During the 2021 redistricting process, we were disappointed to see the overuse of incumbent protection, scheduled times for public comment not being adhered to, agendas not being posted in a timely fashion, and draft maps not being posted prior to most meetings. This was unfortunate. That’s why an independent redistricting commission would be beneficial in the future instead of the current system where politicians pick their voters. We’ll continue to keep North Dakotans updated on further voting rights issues in our state. Rick Gion, Director North Dakota Voters First

Executive Privilege: Flimsy historical defenses Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, as we have seen, did not fail to address the issue of presidential authority to invoke executive privilege. Rather, they chose not to clothe the president with power to withhold information from Congress. The framers of the Constitution, part of a generation that fought executive tyranny in the form of King George III, studiously avoided any pretense of granting to the newlyminted presidency a power that was denied to the English monarchy. The absence of any mention of executive privilege in the text of the Constitution, and the fact that the framers never contemplated vesting such authority in the president, has not stopped advocates from asserting it. Since every inquiry about constitutional authority begins with the text and debates in the Constitutional Convention, precisely where, we are entitled to ask, do admirers of executive privilege purport to locate such authority? Various writers have attempted to ground executive privilege in early historical practice, that is, in claims that founding presidents asserted a sweeping, discretionary power to withhold information from Congress. These claims, however, are not supported by the facts. The lists begin with the assertion that President George Washington established early precedents, beginning with an investigation in 1792 by the House of Representatives into the disastrous military campaign of General Arthur St. Clair against an Indian tribe. The House had appointed a committee to investigate the “causes of the failure” of the campaign and had vested in it the authority to call for persons and papers to assist the investigation. For his part, President Washington recognized the authority of Congress to conduct an inquiry into the conduct of an executive officer, which reflected the historic practice of parliamentary inquiries into executive actions. As president, however, he cooperated completely. Washington complied with the committee’s demand and freely supplied all materials and

Special session a win for taxpayers and North Dakota’s future After one week, the special session of the North Dakota Legislature is over.

documents relevant to the failed expedition. He offered no separation of powers objection. The theory that Washington invoked executive privilege during the St. Clair Affair stems from nothing that Washington did or said, but rests, rather, on an excerpt from Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson’s notes of a cabinet meeting. Jefferson wrote that the cabinet had agreed that the “house was an inquest, and therefore might institute inquiries,” but determined that the president had discretion to refuse papers, “the disclosure of which would injure the public.” There is no reason to doubt the accuracy of Jefferson’s notes, but little, if any, precedential value can be gleaned from this episode. First, Washington complied with the demands of the committee and supplied everything requested. Second, there is no evidence that Jefferson’s notes were presented to Congress or filed with the government. In short, they formed no part of the public record; there was no assertion to Congress of a right to an executive privilege and no statement or declaration of an executive power to withhold information from Congress. Finally, any precedential value is vitiated by the fact that neither Washington nor Jefferson ever invoked the St. Clair “precedent” in subsequent episodes that allegedly involved their respective claims to executive privilege. Consistent with his understanding of an executive responsibility to provide information to Congress, Washington, that same year, also supplied the House with information relevant to an inquiry into the alleged accusations of impropriety brought against Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. In 1796, Washington refused to provide information to the House for information relative to the Jay Treaty, but not for reasons of executive privilege. Rather, he withheld the requested materials on grounds that the House has no part of the treaty power. Ultimately, James Madison persuaded Washington to share the requested information on the basis of prudence and comity. As Madison pointed out, Washington, eventually, would need financial support from the House to carry out the terms of the treaty. Washington saw the light and provided the information sought by the House. During Washington’s tenure, the issue was not executive concealment from Congress, but disclosure to the public. Scholars have demonstrated that Washington provided the requested information, some on a public, and some on a confidential

Guest Editorial

cut taxes, diversify our economy, avoid inflation and create long-term cost savings for citizens – all without growing government. Thanks to strong alignment with lawmakers, we were able to fund our priorities and provide significant tax relief. Last Friday, I signed legislation to provide an estimated $211 million in income tax relief over the next two years by eliminating the state income tax bill for approximately 300,000 North Dakota taxpayers and providing partial relief to another 200,000 taxpayers. The bill provides an income tax credit of up to $350 per year for resident individual income taxpayers, or $700 per year for individuals filing a married joint return, effective for tax years 2021 and 2022. Half a million hardworking North Dakotans will receive responsive, meaningful tax relief for this year and the next. We’re deeply grateful to Bismarck Rep. Pat Heinert for introducing this legislation and to the entire Legislature for overwhelmingly approving this tax relief and improving upon our original proposal. Our shared approach of conservative fiscal management has allowed us to put money back into the pockets of North Dakotans who kept working through the pandemic and supported our economic recovery, which benefits us all. We also signed legislation eliminating the state tax on Social Security income, becoming the 38th state to do so. The bill, introduced by Sen. David Hogue of Minot, will provide an estimated $14.6 million in savings per biennium to approximately 20,000 North Dakota seniors. Through wise use of our COVID relief dollars, we were able to strategically invest this latest round of federal funding to move North Dakota forward immediately. Those investments include $150 million in matching grant support for a game-changing natural gas pipeline to carry gas from the state’s western oil patch to eastern North Dakota to serve communities and attract new industry, such as a re-

basis. On some occasions, Congress disclosed the information the public; on others, Congress persuaded the executive to disclose the information to the public. Congress, as we have seen, possessed the constitutional authority under Article 1, section 5, to withhold information from the citizenry. Some writers have falsely asserted that President Thomas Jefferson invoked executive privilege to withhold information from the courts in the 1807 treason trial of Aaron Burr. Burr had requested from Jefferson a letter written to him by Gen. James Wilkinson. Jefferson’s attorney, George Hay, informed Chief Justice John Marshall, who was presiding over the trial, that he would submit the letter, with recommendations for material that might not be disclosed, “for reasons of justice,” that is, to protect the reputation of those not material to the trial, but that he would “defer” to Marshall’s determination of what might be deleted from the letter. Thus, Jefferson never asserted executive privilege, nor did he ever challenge the authority of the court to demand information from the president. Neither Washington nor Jefferson ever asserted executive privilege, contrary to the claims of reckless writers. Indeed, no president ever invoked executive privilege until 1954, when Dwight D. Eisenhower asserted it to withhold information from Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the midst of the McCarthy-Army hearings. Eisenhower’s refusal to furnish information to the Wisconsin demagogue was applauded by from coast to coast. The popular decision of a popular president, however, would become a regrettable one, with the passage of time. The alleged basis for executive privilege, then, cannot be found in the text of the Constitution, the debates in the Constitutional Convention, the various state ratifying conventions or in early government practice. The constitutional basis for the claim, as we shall see next week, is to be found in the Supreme Court’s lamentable creation of the power, in the landmark case of United States v. Nixon, in 1974, to which we turn next week.

cently announced wet corn mill in Grand Forks. This pipeline will help lift the ceiling on oil production by better utilizing the state’s abundant natural gas supplies, while also generating additional state tax revenue that supports the Legacy Fund and other state funds for schools, water projects and outdoor recreation. Other infrastructure investments include $317 million – with an additional $135 million authorized – for roads and bridges, $75 million for critical water infrastructure, $45 million for broadband and nearly $23 million to upgrade state and local parks. To address our state’s workforce challenges, we’ve approved $88 million in matching funds for privatesector investment in career centers, $38 million for Bismarck State College to create a Polytechnic Center to meet employer demand and $20 million for local workforce development incentive grants and technical skills training. To support economic and energy development, there’s $20 million for hydrogen development grants as approved by the Clean Sustainable Energy Authority, $21 million for a fuel production facility incentive program and $10 million for autonomous agriculture matching grants. To support health care, we approved $25 million in assistance for long-term care facilities and the State Hospital, $17 million for child care services, $4 million for communitybased health care and $3 million each for Free Through Recovery and substance abuse treatment vouchers. Lawmakers should be commended for seizing the unprecedented opportunity before them and investing in North Dakota’s future now, versus allowing the corrosive power of rising inflation to eat away at the investment power of these funds. The result will be a North Dakota that’s more competitive on a national and global scale to attract the talent and capital we need for our state to reach its fullest potential. What a difference a week can make. By Gov. Doug Burgum

Burgum signs final bills of special session, investing in infrastructure, workforce and other priorities Gov. Doug Burgum signed the final bills of the Legislature’s special session, approving strategic investments of federal dollars into infrastructure, workforce, economic development and other priorities. The investments include support for a major natural gas pipeline to carry gas from the state’s western oil patch to eastern North Dakota to serve communities and attract new industry – a key proposal from the Burgum-Sanford administration’s Accelerate ND plan. “Combined with tax relief, these strategic investments will benefit North Dakota taxpayers right now and for generations to come. Making these investments will grow and diversify our economy, make our state more competitive, improve the efficiency of government services, avoid inflationary costs and create long-term cost savings for North Dakota taxpayers,” Burgum said. “We’re deeply grateful to legislative leaders and the entire assembly for their collaboration on these priorities. Our shared conservative approach to fiscal management has allowed us to make these one-time investments without growing government while also providing tax relief for half a million North Dakota citizens.” The legislation signed – House Bills 1505 and 1506 and Senate Bill 2345 – strategically invest the state’s allocation from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The largest single investment is $150 million to the North Dakota Industrial Commission for matching grants to support natural gas pipeline infrastructure, including a

major east-west natural gas pipeline from the Bakken oil fields. The total also includes $10 million that must be used to transport natural gas to areas in Grand Forks County, where it will support a recently announced wet corn mill. A trans-state natural gas pipeline will help lift the ceiling on oil production in North Dakota by better utilizing the state’s abundant natural gas supplies, while also generating additional state tax revenue that supports the Legacy Fund and other state funds for schools, water projects and outdoor recreation. Other infrastructure investments include: • $317 million for road and bridge projects approved by the Legislature during its regular session last spring, plus $135 in funding authority beyond the regular federal funding in the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s 2021-23 biennium. • $75 million for critical water infrastructure. • $17.9 million for deferred maintenance and capital improvements at state parks, plus $5 million in matching funds to renovate and upgrade existing facilities in local park districts. • $45 million for broadband infrastructure grants to ensure all North Dakotans have high-speed data access that supports education, telehealth, government services and businesses. • $10 million for deferred maintenance at state facilities. The legislation includes several investments to address the state’s workforce shortage, which current-

ly stands at 18,500 online job listings with Job Service North Dakota and an estimated 30,000-plus job openings statewide. These investments include: • $88 million in matching funds for private-sector investment in career centers where high school students can pursue high-demand careers in the trades, tech and other sectors. • $38 million for Bismarck State College to create a Polytechnic Center to help fill the specific needs of industry using hands-on applied learning. • $15 million for adding or expanding local workforce development incentive grants.

• $5 million for technical skills training grants and a workforce innovation grant program. Among the investments in economic development programs and energy projects are: • $20 million for hydrogen development grants as approved by the Clean Sustainable Energy Authority. • $21 million for an ethanol production grants. • $10 million to the Department of Commerce for autonomous agriculture matching grants. • $5 million for the North Dakota Development Fund. Investments in health care and behavioral health include:

• $25 million in financial assistance to long-term care facilities and the State Hospital. • $17 million for child care services, $5 million for Medicaid system upgrades, $4 million for community-based health care and $3 million for substance abuse disorder treatment vouchers. • $15 million for the North Dakota Department of Health to build a new Public Health Lab, with the department required to provide a plan for the building to the 2023 Legislature. • $3 million for the Free Through Recovery program.

Edward Kuchar

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at St. Edward’s Catholic Church in Nekoma for Edward Kuchar, 89, of Fairdale, who passed away November 12, 2021, at his home. Inurnment will be at St. Edward’s Cemetery in Nekoma followed by a life celebration at the Pain Reliever. Edward John Kuchar was born December 9, 1931, to Stanley and Mary (Karsky) Kuchar on the home farm north of Edmore. He attended Highland School and then spent the rest of his life devoted to farming. Starting at the age of 16, he farmed the family land, and after he ‘retired’, he continued to work at the Fairdale Elevator and helped local farmers during harvest. On October 8, 1993, he married

Grace (Monson) Samson in Devils Lake. He retired from farming in 1993 and moved from the home farm to Fairdale where he and Grace still resided. He enjoyed repairing machinery and was innovative at doing home repairs. He also liked to go fishing, especially his trips up to Canada. He was an accomplished curler, and he and his team won four state senior men’s curling championships. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, was a past member of the Farmers Union board, and was township treasurer for many years. He was very active in St. Edward’s Church, including being a reader, serving as treasurer, helping with the cemetery, or doing maintenance at the church. He was also the mayor of Fairdale for 25 years. Surviving Ed are his wife, Grace, of Fairdale; siblings: Stanley Kuchar, Mary Warvin, George Kuchar, Jim Kuchar, Pat (Jonathan) Connelly; sisters-in-law Vivian Kuchar and Jessie

Kuchar; many cherished nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews; step-children: Mark and Kelly Johnson, Darcy and Dave Jeffrey, Joette and Ken Zola, Trent and Fiona Samson; his beloved grandchildren: Jer and Betsey Johnson, Chelsey and Chris Lewis, Jake and Kristen Johnson, Ian and Isaac Jeffrey, Jess and Nate Zola, Ilsa, Laryn and Eliana Samson; and greatgrandchildren: Ezra Johnson and Henry and Chuck Lewis. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister & brother-in-law Fran and Ernie Swanson, and brothers John and Laddie. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be sent in Ed’s name to St. Edward’s Cemetery, Juvenile Diabetes Association, or the Fairdale Park. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www. brooksfuneralhomelangdon.com.

Following the burial, all are invited to a luncheon at Milton Lutheran Church. Gladys was born to Anton and Anna Hjelmstad on January 30, 1930, in Milton. She graduated from Milton High School in 1948 as salutatorian of her class. She married Harlan Hanson on August 29, 1948, at Milton Lutheran Church. She was employed at the U.S. Postal Service in Milton for 41 years. She was appointed postmaster on November 10, 1973. She was a member of Milton Lutheran Church and participated in Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and served three terms as president. She belonged to the American Legion Auxiliary, serving in many leadership roles. She became Third District President and was named to several department chairmanships. She played in the Milton School band as well as the Community Band and sang in the Milton Lutheran

Church choir for 35 years. She was a woman of incredible strength, persistence, poise, and determination. She met her future husband, Harlan, at the Royal Arch Pavilion in Milton, and they have been dancing together ever since. They enjoyed clogging and often performed at community gatherings as well as the Steam Thresher’s Reunion in Rollag and the Minnesota State Fair. After retirement, they spent the winter months in Pharr, Texas, and danced at the Tropic Star Resort in addition to golfing and making new friendships. She and Harlan shared a deep love for one another, and their relationship was marked with much laughter and hard work. She is survived by three sons: Handt (Kathy) Hanson of Prior Lake, Holden (Danette) Hanson of Lakeville, and Hugh Hanson (Vini Costanzo) of Pittsburgh, Pa.; six grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

Thanksgiving One of the toolboxes in my garage belonged to my dad when I was growing up. This particular toolbox was where he kept a wooden-handled hammer, along with an assortment of screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches. I was always welcome to use Dad’s tools as long as I returned them to the toolbox when I was finished. I was young when I discovered that almost any given task is easier if you have the right tools to get the work done. With that, I learned that it’s best to use a tool for its intended purpose. A wrench is not meant to do the work of a hammer. And when a chisel is needed, it’s not wise to try and make due with a screwdriver. In writing to the Christians in Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul opens up a proverbial toolbox of instruction for meaningful living. He offers an assortment of the right tools for the intended purpose of his readers’ spiritual growth. In his collection of encouragements we read, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). I’m tempted to read the verse and ask, Really? Is God really expecting me to give thanks in everything? When it comes to giving thanks, the writer of Psalm 100 simply says, “Be thankful to [God].” There’s

no reference to circumstances. The psalmist offers no exceptions for those who are finding that life can be hard. Again, the instruction is simple and profound. Remember, Paul intended that these disciplines would contribute to the spiritual life of his readers. He understood that spiritual disciplines will bring us into tension with natural inclinations. All things considered, Paul is bold in calling the followers of Christ to rise above circumstances and feelings. Even in the midst of turmoil, this verse challenges us to step out in faith and choose to trust God. We should note that neither the psalm writer or the apostle is teaching that faith in God obliges us to be thankful for everything that comes our way. Rather, confidence in God, i.e. faith -- sustains thanksgiving in every circumstance. Are you familiar with multitools? They combine several functions in one unit, often carried on a belt-mounted pouch. I just read about a multi-tool that combines 19 tools, including pliers, wrenches, a hammer and screwdrivers. I’m reminded of my father’s toolbox. This Thanksgiving season, I’m suggesting that we make thanksgiving our spiritual multi-tool. Sustained by faith, regardless of circumstances, let’s offer God our praise for His promises to us and the hope that He brings.

Small Business Saturday supports small businesses hit by the pandemic By SBA North Dakota District Director Alan Haut The COVID 19 pandemic confirmed the critical role that small businesses play in our daily lives. Throughout the pandemic, small businesses continued to provide crucial goods and services and kept our citizens employed. It sounds cliché, but our locally owned small businesses truly are the heart and soul of our cities and towns. Small Business Saturday has become an American tradition following the Thanksgiving holiday. However, online shopping skyrocketed during the pandemic as more people stayed home to slow the spread of the COVID 19 virus. Small Business Saturday, Nov. 27, is our chance to thank our local small business heroes that endured hardships over the last 18 months. Small business remains the one stable job creator in most commu-

nities across North Dakota. Here at home, North Dakota’s 76,000 small businesses continue to generate two of every three net new jobs and deliver essential goods and services in both rural and urban communities. They employ more than 196,000 North Dakotans, and make this state a better place to live in. As the voice of America’s entrepreneurs, the U.S. Small Business Administration celebrates this nation’s 36 million small businesses that still ignite our local economies and enrich our communities throughout the year. Each year Small Business Saturday provides a huge boost to the U.S. economy when over 100 million consumers spend more than $20 billion at small shops and local restaurants. With increased consumer confidence in the economy, and a waning pandemic, this year’s Small Business Saturday looks to be even bigger and brighter.

Economic prosperity is very good news not only for America’s small businesses but for society. In so many ways, small businesses act as the bond that holds our communities together. They fund the local tax base, finance local nonprofits and charitable organizations, and create good paying jobs that boost the overall marketplace. By backing our locally owned small businesses, you support the thousands of jobs they create and the families they sustain. Small businesses are the backbone of our democracy, and the solution to our most challenging economic problems. On Small Business Saturday, please join me in making at least one purchase from a locally owned small business in your city or town. These business owners are the true super stars of our community, and they deserve our support, thanks, and appreciation.

SEVENTH HEAVEN!!!

Lady Cards stun top-ranked North Star to win Region 4 Crown

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

It was thought by many that this might be the year that the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals would have their Region 4 Championship winning streak stopped at six when the Region 4 Tournament was played in Devils Lake Nov. 8-11. The Lady Cards lost their last two regular season matches to Northern Cass and North Star; both those teams were ranked in the top three in the state. Every player and coach in the Cardinals program, however, knew something that no one else did - this team has the drive and was willing to put in the work to get the job done in the postseason. And that's just what they did by winning the Region 4 title for the seventh straight year with a 3-0 opening round win over Nelson County, 3-1 in the semis against New Rockford-Sheyenne, and a surprising 3-0 sweep over North Star for the championship. Morgan Freije, Morgan Thielbar, and Jalynn Swanson were all named to the All-Region 4 Team. Danielle Hagler from North Star was named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year, and Bearcats coach Aubree Page won Region 4 Coach of the Year. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will now make their State B record 22nd appearance at the state tournament, which is being held this year in Bismarck. They take a 33-4-1 record into the Big Dance, and after being seeded third through a coaches poll, played Thompson in the first round on Nov. 18. Here is a recap of their matches at the Region 4 Tournament: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Nelson County 0 In their first match of the tourney, the Cardinals had a relatively easy time with the Chargers, rolling through the first two sets 25-8 and 25-12. The Chargers fought back in set three, but the Cards won 25-17. Morgan Freije led all players with 11 kills - McKenna Schneider and Morgan Thielbar each had five. Thielbar and Halle Jabs both had great nights at the serving line with five aces apiece. Freije led the team with 12 digs, while Jalynn Swanson finished with 24 assists. Hollie Emory had five kills to lead Nelson

County. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, New Rockford-Sheyenne 1 The semifinal match played against the Rockets was the most competitive for the Lady Cards. They had to battle NR-S the whole way, going on a 4-1 run to win the first set 25-23. After going up 20-16 in set two, the Rockets went on a 9-0 run to win 25-20. The big moment in the match came in the pivotal third set, as Langdon-Edmore-Munich was down 22-18 and 24-20 before they rose up and scored six straight points to win miraculously, 26-24. They fell behind in set four 13-12 before coming together to win the match with a 25-21 victory. The Cards got things done with 21 kills from Morgan Freije and 13 huge kills by Morgan Thielbar and eight more from Marlee Hetletved. Taryn Amble had a big night with three aces and 26 digs, both team highs. Kelsie Belquist led NR-S with 21 kills. Jaylynn Swanson had a mammoth 42 assists for the Cardinals. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, North Star 0 In the championship match, the Cards met up with the Bearcats, as the two teams played each other for the Region 4 Title for the eighth straight season. Langdon-EdmoreMunich made a statement right away in the title match up when they jumped out to a 5-0 lead right off the first serve, expanding that to 20-12 in a dominant 25-16 first win. The Cardinals aggressiveness seemed to bother North Star all night. The Lady Cards jumped out 18-10 in the second set to win 2518 and the Bearcats just seemed to struggle to match the intensity of the Cardinals attack. Langdon-Edmore-Munich led 20-16 in set three when their issue with unforced errors, which has been a problem in some matches this year, came up again. Errors allowed North Star to tie set three at 20 all, and they actually led 23-21. Then the Cards scored three straight points to lead 24-23 and finally got their third match point to go down on a Morgan Freije tip over a double block attempt by the Bearcats to win the match. Jalynn Swanson had a key service ace to set the stage for Freije's winning kill.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Lady Cards make appearance #22 at the State B Tourney Let's begin this week by saying congratulations yet again to the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team on making it to yet another State Class B Volleyball Tournament. It's simply beyond amazing what this program has done for the last nearly 30 years. Since 1993, which was their first time making it to state, the Cards have gone to state 22 times - almost doesn't seem right, like that must be a typo or something. It is legit, and it goes to show just how dominant the team has been. Here are some stats that will take awhile for you to get your head around. Morgan Freije, who is an All-State senior for the Lady Cards, is now going to a State B Volleyball Tournament for a sixth straight year as a varsity player. That means Morgan has played at state in every year of her career since she was a seventh grader (!). That is simply incredible and a record that can most likely never be surpassed, only tied, unless sixth graders are allowed to move up to play. One other stat that just boggles the mind is that Cardinals head coach Rich Olson has been running the program for the 26 years. Out of those 26, he has taken a team to state 19 times, which is a rate of 73 percent. Someone told me something very fitting the other day about Coach Olson - he is "the Bill Belichick of volleyball coaching". That certainly seems right, but I've

said it before here and will say it again, there is no one more dedicated to coaching and to his program than Rich Olson. Of course, there has been tremendous talent coming up through the years, and a combination of great coaching and great talent has come together into the best and most respected volleyball programs in North Dakota history. Really, it's one of the most respected programs in any sport. Out of the 22 years at state, the worst the Lady Cards have finished is sixth place, which happened just once. So, the Cardinals not only have gotten to the Big Dance but have made a lot of noise once they have gotten to the Show. We congratulate the team on another very successful year and will recap how they did next week. Games getting underway at Dakota Spirit Arena; Boys Basketball practice starts Nov. 29 As we get deeper in November, more activity will be coming out of Dakota Spirit Arena. The Langdon Blades hockey program has been practicing the last couple of weeks at all levels, and games are starting to begin for the lower divisions. For both the high school girls and junior gold squads, games will not be starting until towards the middle of December when both teams leagues normally start, and there will be a few changes this season. For junior gold, the league will be basically the same as last year with the same teams playing. Their first game is scheduled for Dec. 17 at Fargo then Dec. 18 at the Grand Forks Stallions. For the girls, things have changed as Fargo, Grand Forks and a couple of other teams have formed their own league this year, meaning that the Langdon girls and Northwood are the only

teams in the eastern half of the state. The girls first game is Dec. 5 at Northwood. The last shoe to drop so to speak for winter sports is boys basketball, which will have its first practice on Nov. 29. Tanner Groth will be coaching Langdon-Edmore-Munich this year, taking over for Andy Haaven. He will be assisted by Tim Polansky. We will have more information on this and other winter activities next week. Oh, do I have a story to tell you... We will leave with that tidbit of a topic to make sure you read the paper next week. I wish I could say something about it here, but I'm told it has to be held off until the next time we visit. And believe me, it's not something anyone is going to like to hear. "See ya!" next week!

Dakota Gardener: How old is old?

By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension I’m in my early 50s. To my threeyear-old grandson, that’s really old. But to my mom, who’s in her 80s, I’m still a kid. She has 14 grandkids and 11 great-grandkids, but I’m still her baby. When my dad turned 60, he got a T-shirt that read “60 isn’t old…if you’re a tree!” It was a fun, teasing gift from a good friend. My thoughts have often gone back to that T-shirt over the years. Is a 60-year-old tree young? For some tree species, yes. For other tree species, even a 30-year-old tree is an old-timer, especially in a tough climate like North Dakota. Last week, I received a question from a colleague who read that the maximum lifespan of green ash trees in the Badlands was 100 years. Did I agree with that statement? The short answer was no, I didn’t agree. I’ve cored dozens of green ash trees in the Badlands, and two of them were more than 100 years old. One tree was more than 125 years old when I took a core in 2010. The other tree was more than 138 years old back in 2018. Both trees were very healthy.

In other parts of North Dakota, I’ve found a number of green ash trees that were in their 160s and 170s. The oldest one I’ve found was 185 years old. That tree was harvested for timber in 2007. So, how old is old? What’s the maximum age that a green ash tree will live to? The only way we can know for sure is to wait until trees die from natural causes, and then count the rings. That doesn’t happen too often. I wonder how long that 185-year-old tree would have lived if it hadn’t been harvested. Though the Badlands provide a harsh environment, so do our cities. I doubt that a green ash tree would survive to 185 years along an urban street. In ‘tree-planting pits,’ those small enclosed areas with limited soil volume, trees are often doomed to a very short life. One report estimated that trees in these situations live an average of only seven years. That’s short, especially when we consider the amount of time and money spent on planting and maintaining trees in our downtown areas. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Ponderosa pines are native to southwestern North Dakota, on the edge of the Badlands. Some trees in this area have lived for more than 500 years. Two trees killed by a wild-

fire in 2004 dated back to the 1670s. They were over 430 years old when they died. Amazing! Back in 2014, researchers found a 383-year-old cottonwood along the Little Missouri River. Most people don’t think of cottonwood as a long-lived species, because they grow so fast. However, the research has clearly shown that cottonwoods can live several hundred years. Another long-lived tree species is bur oak. The majority of the ‘old’ bur oak trees in North Dakota date back to settlement times. People needed building material and fuel, and the small forests took quite a hit as more and more people arrived. Very few trees were spared, though we occasionally find an oak tree that dates to the 1840s, 1820s or even into the 1700s. But those are rare. The oldest bur oak we ever found dated to the 1550s. It was over 450 years old when it came down. Wow! So, is a 60-year-old tree considered to be ‘old’? Like most things, it depends. A lot of tree species can live long lives, even in the midst of a broader prairie environment. In my early 50s, I still feel like a kid. I won’t live as long as those ash, oak or cottonwood trees, but I’ve got many years left in me. Unless someone harvests me for firewood.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Time for Turkey… Or Not I have a confession to make. I once ruined a perfectly good turkey. It wasn’t on purpose, and I would like to think that I did it because I was so extremely sleep deprived as a new mom that I couldn’t function well. The fact remains that I had a turkey that people couldn’t eat and a houseful of guests that were waiting for food. I honestly don’t remember the event (it wasn’t Thanksgiving), but every time Thanksgiving comes around it comes to the forefront of my mind because turkey is typically the traditional meat that is served. I can’t even use the excuse that I didn’t know any better. I did. It all boils down to not thawing the turkey correctly, not getting the gizzards and gravy pack out of the depths of the bird (just forgetting that it came standard that way) and cooking the bird - plastic and all. I have very vivid memories of looking at the cooked turkey and plastic in the pan and shedding a tear or two. Thank goodness we had other food we could substitute, and everyone who was there loved me (or at least pretended to) so there was grace granted. I even remember one person suggesting that we could shave off the top of the breast, as they thought there would be enough, and that it wouldn’t have been exposed to the plastic. It was a sweet offer, but I couldn’t let those who love me do something that would jeopardize their health. This year, please don’t pull a “Katie Turkey Mistake”. It’s important to properly thaw and cook your turkey to ensure safety for all that will be consuming, and if you want to start a new tradition of a different protein item for the meal, you don’t need to make a mistake to have an excuse. With the prices of turkey this holiday season, it will be even more costly than years past. According to Tim Petry, NDSU Extension livestock marketing economist, turkey is predicted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to be at an all-time high of $1.21 per pound for whole birds, with breasts

When the calendar turns to November, many people’s thoughts turn to Thanksgiving family get-together planning. At the forefront is a bountiful holiday meal which may include turkey. Included are abundant amounts of a wide variety of side dishes where many ingredients originate from a very productive and diverse U.S. agriculture. Higher food prices have received considerable attention from the media in the last couple of months, and turkey prices are no exception.

(wholesale, whole hen, 8-16 pounds) have increased steadily this year. The whole turkey price chart indicates a seasonal pattern to prices with a steady yearly increase until October, right before the peak holiday demand. Current prices at $1.33 per

pound are 17 cents per pound above last year. Prices are record high with USDA predicting an average annual 2021 price at $1.21 per pound. The previous record high annual price was set in 2016 at $1.17 per pound. Higher prices are the result of turkey production declining from 5.74 billion pounds last year to 5.63 billion pounds in 2021 -a 2.3% decline. USDA estimates that 214 million turkeys will be raised in the U.S. this year compared to 224 million last year. Prices have also been buoyed by declining cold storage stocks. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Cold Storage report released on October 22 indicated a 17% decline in U.S. total turkey stocks from last year. Whole hen stocks were down 19%, and turkey breasts declined a whopping 51%. Most turkey hens are sold as frozen whole birds. Toms are mostly destined for further processing and made into many consumer products such as breasts, legs, bacon, deli meats and ground turkey that are consumed the year around. Many of these products are sold in the foodservice sector which was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Stay at home and social distancing orders meant that foodservice meat demand declined significantly with restaurants and schools closing, and sporting events, concerts, etc. canceled. That is evident in turkey breast prices which were below average in 2020. However, as vaccinations became available and the food sector began reopening in 2021, demand for breast meat increased and prices soared. Turkey breast prices increased from $1.75 per pound in April to $3.53 per pound now. The U.S. is the World’s leading

producer of turkeys and turkey meat, and the World’s leading exporter of turkey meat. In 2020, Mexico was by far the leading importer of U.S. turkey meat followed by China, Canada, Guatemala and Dominican Republic. The U.S. is also the leading producer of beef and chicken, and second only to China in pork production. Likewise, the U.S. is the leading exporter of high-quality beef and pork and is second only behind Brazil in chicken exports. So, the U.S. meat industry is very important to the U.S. economy and livestock producers. Consumers also benefit from an ample, year-round supply of a myriad of meat product choices, especially at Thanksgiving. Minnesota is the leading turkeyproducing state with 40.5 million birds produced in 2020. North Carolina ranked second with 29 million, and Arkansas was a close third with 27 million. South Dakota ranks 12th at 4.5 million. USDA does not publish North Dakota turkey production data, but according to the North Dakota Turkey Federation about one million birds are produced on nine turkey farms in the state. How much turkey do we gobble up at Thanksgiving? According to the National Turkey Federation, about 46 million turkeys are on Thanksgiving tables, 22 million are eaten at Christmas, and 19 million are consumed at Easter. U.S. per capita consumption of turkey has averaged about 16 pounds for the last 10 years with USDA estimating 15.5 pounds consumed per person in 2021. Even though wholesale turkey prices are higher, consumers may find bargains when shopping for Thanksgiving turkeys. Some food chain stores contract turkeys several months in advance. Retail food stores may feature turkeys as “loss leaders” at below cost to lure customers into the store to purchase higher-margin items that complete the Thanksgiving meal. Sometimes even local price wars emerge. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our everyday lives, and food prices are higher; we still have a lot to be thankful for. U.S. consumers enjoy the safest, largest quantity and most diverse product line of meat in the world. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Prairie Fare: Are you getting your Omega-3 fats?

ND Matters: Many North Dakotans need more than tax cuts By Lloyd Omdahl As a former North Dakota Tax Commissioner and Director of the Department of Management and Budget, I was unimpressed with the pattern of expenditures that evolved from the recent special session of the legislature. Since both houses passed the income tax measure, the legislators of both parties can share the blame for this fiscal misstep. The measure passed unanimously in the House and by a vote in the Senate of 40-7. Governor Douglas Burgum said the income tax rebate of up to $350 a year will be putting money back into the pockets of hardworking North Dakotans. He forgot that much of the money the state is playing with – at least $1,000,000,000 – comes from the federal coronavirus money, if not directly, indirectly for sure. Tax Not Onerous Cutting the income tax was bad public policy, no matter how bipartisan and unanimous it may have been. In the first place, North Dakota’s income tax is not onerous and is the only tax that reduces the regressivity of the total tax system, meaning that low income people will continue to pay even more of their income in taxes than do the upper income people. Under the new legislation, the income tax rebate will be paid only to those who paid income taxes. In other words, the low income people will get no benefit from this bonanza. Pay Little, Get Little Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger estimates that the $350 will erase the income tax liabilities of around 300,000 North Dakotans. How many of these now pay $100 or less? Those who pay minimal income taxes will benefit minimally while those who get the $350 will benefit more. This would look like fiscal fairness 90 years ago but it does not reflect the nature of economic circumstances for thousands of North Dakota who no longer own businesses or farms. The level of social and economic interdependence has

grown significantly. Growing Dependence Many people no longer have independent sources of income as in the days of old but are clerks, office workers, tradespeople and others who work at the behest of some higher authority. Because of the instability of employment today, they are dependent on private and public sources to supplement or guarantee a minimal existence. It is a responsibility of the state government to provide the new level of commonality in order to have a peaceful and productive society. While we bragged about our self-reliance decades ago, we are now in era when the common good requires us to be concerned about those who are in no position to be self-reliant. Less Self-Reliance But we fight commonality. Our sharing inclinations are smothered by self-interest. The repeal of the income tax means that there will be less in the treasury to deal with the problems of fellow citizens who suffer from regressive taxation because the legislatur can only see the problems of the middle and upper income taxpayers. The legislature did very little to share the state’s prosperity with those who have needs in an otherwise caring community. Many Needs We have around 1,100 abortions annually a year in North Dakota but nothing to help teenagers before or after pregnancy; 75,000 people below the poverty line ; thousands of people going without medication and health care; Indians culturally imprisoned on reservations, suffering from all sorts of terminal health conditions; We have diabetics being victimized by outrageous prices; hundreds of single moms struggling with limited income from two jobs. What this state needed more than a selfish income tax cut was a greater sense of responsibility for each other, with allocation of resources cognizant of the today’s realities. If farmers can have safety nets, others should also be entitled to economic security. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

“How many servings of seafood and fish did you eat during the past week?” The presenter posed this question to attendees. Unfortunately, I was not meeting the goal. Would you meet the goal of two servings of fish or seafood a week? That’s about eight ounces weekly. The palm of an average adult’s hand is the visual representation of a “serving” for fish or seafood. I put fish on my home menu that day to join our usual mix of meat, poultry, beans, nuts and seeds as protein sources. Fresh, canned and frozen fish and seafood all count toward the goal. Canned and frozen fish usually offer money savings too. Why do nutrition experts recommend eating more fish and seafood? This high-protein food is somewhat unique compared with other foods in its significant content of omega-3 fats. Let’s stroll back to biology or chemistry class for a minute. “Omega-3” refers to the placement of the double bond in the long chain of carbon atoms that make up fats. “Omega” means “the end.” Omega-3 means the double bond in the carbon chain is third from the end of the chain. You might see EPA, DHA or ALA on supplements or in some cases, on baby formula containers. We find EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) naturally in fish and seafood. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) refers to the omega-3 fats in plants. Usually labels list the abbreviation instead of the tongue-twister scientific names, fortunately for us. You can impress your friends with these details. Infant formula is supplemented with DHA because of its role in brain and eye development during infancy. Breast milk naturally contains this fatty acid, but the mom’s diet also determines the amount of DHA in the milk produced. For adults, adequate amounts of omega-3 fats in our diet can help prevent heart disease.

In fact, research has shown that these powerful fats can reduce risk of blood clots and help prevent sudden cardiac death among those with abnormal heart rhythms. It also helps keep our arteries free from damaging plaque deposits. In some cases, more omega-3 fats may reduce your triglyceride levels. Other researchers have shown that eating more foods high in omega-3 fats may increase our HDL “good” cholesterol levels and even lower our blood pressure. However, don’t throw out any heart-related prescriptions you might be taking. Talk with your healthcare provider or dietitian about changes in your diet. If you are thinking about a fish oil supplement, visit with your healthcare provider about safe amounts before you begin. Pregnant or nursing women also should visit with their healthcare provider about fish and seafood consumption. They should avoid eating swordfish, tilefish and king mackerel due to higher levels of mercury. However, canned fish and smaller fish are healthful options. Some of the best sources of omega-3 fats are mackerel, salmon (especially wild caught), oysters, herring, sardines, lake trout, tuna (albacore), freshwater white fish, halibut and striped bass. Get a little creative with fish choices. Try fish tacos, grilled or baked fish on a salad or salmon patties. Yes, the Midwestern staple, “Tuna Noodle Hotdish” counts. Have a tuna salad sandwich for lunch. Maybe you like sardines or herring. Yes, these foods count toward the recommendation too. Enjoy them with whole-grain crackers for a snack. What if you do not like fish or seafood or cannot eat them because you have allergies? Some plant foods also provide omega-3 fats. Chia seeds, Brussels sprouts, hemp seeds, walnuts and flaxseeds all provide omega-3 fats. Foods such as eggs may contain omega-3s depending on the chicken’s feed. Grass-fed animals produce milk and meat higher in omega-3 fats. Bottom line, enjoy a wide range of foods from all the food groups, and consider adding some fish, seafood or other sources of omega-3 fats to

your diet. This week’s recipe and nutrition analysis is courtesy of the Iowa State University’s Spend Smart. Eat Smart. program. Baking instead of deep frying reduces calories and fat. Baked Fish and Chips Chip ingredients: 4 cups potatoes (4 medium, unpeeled) 1 tablespoon oil (canola or vegetable) 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper Fish ingredients: 4 fish fillets, thawed (salmon or other fish, about 3 oz. each) 3 cups cornflakes 1 egg 2 tablespoons water 1/3 cup flour Note that the potatoes take longer to cook, so prepare potatoes/chips first. While potatoes are baking, prepare fish. Chip directions: Preheat oven to 425 F. Scrub potatoes under running water using a clean vegetable brush. Cut in half and then into 1/4-inch slices. Combine potatoes, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir so potatoes are coated with oil. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and lay slices out in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn potatoes over and bake for 15 minutes more (for a total of 30 minutes) Fish directions: Cut each fillet into two strips. Place cornflakes in a plastic zip-close bag. Crush by rolling a glass, can or rolling pin over the bag. Beat egg and water together in a bowl. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking oil spray. Put flour in a dish. Dip each strip into flour, then egg mixture, then cornflakes. Place fish on the sheet and bake in oven for 15 minutes until fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 F or flakes easily with a fork. Makes four servings. Each serving (two fish strips and one cup potatoes) has 410 calories, 7 grams (g) fat, 26 g protein, 63 g carbohydrate, 6 g fiber and 300 milligrams sodium.

Outstanding Grads 1994- 2002 1994 – Nathan Ring and Stephanie Stremick. There are three annuals for the 1990s, some of which have pictures without names, and for other years information about outstanding graduates has to come from families or the clipping file resulting in some stories being at least temporarily lost. Nathan Ring is the son of Rick and Karen Ring. He was a honor student, in Jazz Band and several organizations. Following high school he went on to UND, majored in accounting, and earned his CPA. The last address found for him was in Minneapolis, but there is a memory of a grandma who was thrilled when Nathan and his wife had great-grandchildren. It took a while to find where Stephanie Stremick fit into the Stremick family, but there are memories of her on the basketball team and an earlier annual lists her in drama, choir and other activities. Her parents are Ken and Dianne Stremick who now live in Fargo where Steph also made her home. In 2003, she was a physical therapist at Merit Care Occupational Health Center. 1995 – Greg Goodman and Kari Larson. Both of the outstanding awards went to members of the Homecoming Court in 1994 with Kari Larson as queen and Greg Goodman as one of the princes. Greg is the son of Bernie and Carol Goodman who farm at Milton, a family tradition going back to the earliest residents in that area. However, grandparents also lived at Langdon so with a grandfather on many boards and mom working in Langdon, this branch of the Goodman family came to Langdon for school before the merger with Milton/Osnabrock. The clipping file might tell you more about the sports Greg’s three children are in today, but I remember him as active in many of the school sports and activities. He went to NDSU and earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics and then graduated from the Dakota School of Banking with high honors. He joined Choice Financial in 2002,

Cavalier County Republican

has been a loan officer and president of the Langdon bank, and currently is a partner in Bachman-Goodman Ag Services, a member of the County Commission and has held numerous local and regional offices. Kari Larson is the youngest daughter of Larry and Dianne Larson from the Calvin area and the second sister chosen for the Outstanding Girl award. Like her sisters, she went to UND and completed her credentials for teaching in middle school. She married Aaron Arvig in 2000. He was training at Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, MN. They planned to live in St. Paul. 1996 – Ryan Schaan and Janna Blake. Ryan Schaan, son of Rick and Sandy Schaan, was outstanding in basketball (along with his twin brother), football, and track as well as part of the Honor Society, and he had good teammates as competition. 1996 was a good year for sports of all kinds. Following high school he went to Minot State University where he graduated with a business major. Ryan currently works at Grand Canyon in Arizona where he manages a recreation center for employees. Janna Blake, daughter of Bob and Carol Blake from the Wales area, is another young lady remembered as “in everything”. In her case band, choir, basketball, stats for some of the teams, speech and drama, homecoming queen, honor student and one of several graduation speakers. Janna went on to graduate from the University of Mary in Bismarck in 2000 and also attended UND for their clinic lab science program. She went on to be a medical technician at Rapid City Regional Hospital and was working there when she married Rodney Cowling in 2003. 1997 – Michael Kempel and Angela Dahl. Michael Kempel, son of Daryl and Linda Kempel, was tall with long legs which earned him a spot in the high and triple jump categories as well as running in track in both high school and college. For college he went to University of Mary, earned his degree in computers, and was hired by NICS (National Information Cooperative Solutions) where he is still employed. One of the programs he has been involved with reaches into a lot of local homes each month as he works on the United Commu-

nications billings. Michael keeps in shape helping out with the U of Mary track program, and his mom says he runs every day. Married in 2003, his three children attend St. Mary’s School in Bismarck – a team that was involved in the Dakota Bowl game last week. Angie Dahl is the daughter of Ted and Linda Dahl and Geneve Rutherford. In high school Angie was a cheerleader, played some basketball, ran track, and participated in several clubs. Some yearbooks for her time in high school are missing, but she might have been one of the three or four every year who marry their prom date. In her case she married Brian Muhs, also from the Langdon area. She went on to UND for her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in counseling, has a counseling office, and also teaches at UND. However, Angie has had serious health problems and had her first heart surgery when she was about twenty. There have been a number of emergency trips to Mayo and possibly elsewhere over the years. Angie and Brian have two children: Jonathan 14 and Morgan 12. The family lives south of Grand Forks so the children attend school in Thompson. One of the special memories her dad has is handing her the outstanding award when she graduated from LHS during the years he served on the school board. 1998 – Christopher Olson and Kimberly Power. There have been other Christopher Olsons graduating from LHS, but we traced this one by the fact that in 1998 he and his brother, Charlie, received their diplomas from two different schools at the same graduation service. Chris is the son of Tom and Val Olson, and I am told the third generation to have served on the Langdon School Board and the fifth generation farming land in the Elkwood vicinity. In high school he played basketball which led to playing on a team that went to Australia. He was also in track, going to state with the shotput and discus. For college, Chris went to NDSU for a degree in agronomy and my notes say architecture. He is married to Katie Pankratz, and they have five children. 1998 was a year that does not have an annual in the library collection so “in school” activities rarely made the clipping file, but both sets of parents

Langdon Legion Post 98 held their annual Veterans Day program on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Allan Blair was awarded 60 years of consecutive membership. Jay Dubois was awarded a Quilt of Valor sewn by his sister. Department Commander Steve Anderson gave the Veterans Day Address and Post 98 Auxiliary President Kari Phillips gave the Veterans Day Auxiliary Address. After the program, everyone was invited to a lunch served by the Langdon Legion Post 98 Auxiliary.

other organizations. Shawn went on to NDSU where the honor roll lists there listed him first as with a major in chemistry and then switching over to accounting. He got his CPA with honors and is currently working with NorthMarq, a banking firm in the Minneapolis area. By the way, one of his 12 or maybe 13-year friends from Langdon lives only six blocks from his home in the Twin Cities area. Shawn is married and has two children. If another name surfaces for this year, we will include it later. 2002 - Andrew Luhmann, Jennifer Roy and Alyson Wilhelmi. Without annuals, no pictures surfaced of these students during their high school years, but we do know they were busy. Andrew Luhmann, fourth son of Dennis and Barbara Luhmann, and the second one chosen as Outstanding Boy, was always musical and is remembered as excelling in piano and drums. For some reason there is a memory of him moving up from a younger band group to play the chimes with the concert band one year at Christmas. The Luhmann boys also tried out most of the sports, and I believe basketball was a favorite. An older brother had gone to Wheaton, and Andrew did as well, where he earned his BS in Geology and a double major in biblical and theologicical studies. He went on to obtain his PHD in geology from the University of Minnesota and is now an assistant professor of Geology at Wheaton College in Illinois. He is married, the father of seven children, and lives in West Chicago, IL. While working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota, Andrew took part in a scientific cruise to the North Pacific, completing a dive to the bottom of the ocean floor in Alvin, a research submersible operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. During the dive, the robotic arms of Alvin sampled fluids emerging from hydrothermal vents in the Juan de Fuca Ridge (underwater mountains). Jennifer Roy, daughter of Danny and Mary Roy, had her sights on D&B Motors from an early age. She mentioned honor society and music while in school but at the same time was absorbing all her dad could teach her. Following high school she went on to Concordia and then to the University of Mary for her Master’s in Business Administration. Then it was time to come home, get married to Mark Busse, and join her dad in the family business. They now have three children and has been on numerous boards and committees in the Langdon area in addition to being a mom and very involved in the car dealership. You might even hear her on the radio doing some of their commercials. Alyson Wilhelmi, daughter of Robert and Jean Wilhelmi, was the third outstanding person chosen from this class. Always a very pretty girl she began entering beauty pageants while still in high school and college, but her goal was not just that she was beauty queen bound, she also had a very serious side. That serious side took her to UND where she got her degrees in occupational therapy and then went on for her Doctorate in Educational Foundation and Research. She now works at the Brain Injury Facility in Mandan where she lives with her husband, whose last name is Downs. Ali has continued her interest in beauty pageants down through the years, and some of her titles as a competitor include Miss North Dakota International in 2010, Mrs. North Dakota America in 2013, and Mrs. North Dakota United States in 2018. She also coaches others who want help preparing for beauty pageants. And when she gets home, her parents will find a spot for her to work at the Pain Reliever.

mentioned their student played basketball in another country. In case I confused the countries, I can apologize later but Kimberly Power had her overseas basketball adventure in New Zealand. You can also find more stats on Kimberly in issues of Miss Hoopster. Kimberly is the daughter of Greg and Nancy Power and after graduating from LHS went on to Minot State for her Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting. While in Minot she met her husband, Troy Bartsch, of Minot. They now have three children and continue to make their home in Minot. Kim works as a relationship banker with Gate City Bank in Minot. 1999 – Sadie Huss. Possibly some of the records for 1999 are missing because the list of Outstanding Boys says Nobody, and the list of Outstanding Girls lists only Sadie. If a yearbook is located with additional information we can add that later. Sadie, her sister, step-brother, and parents came to Langdon in 1985 when Shirley and Terry Rime (mother and step-father) came to work in one of the Langdon banks. Over the years family members have worked in several area banks. In high school Sadie was in cross county, band, choir, volleyball, and a member of the State Champion golf team. For college she went on to Moorhead State and earned a degree in speech pathology. She is married to Jon Erickson, and they have twin daughters, Liv and Hadley Erickson. They live in Fargo. 2000 – Chad Perius and Nicole Thom. Chad Perius is the son of Tom and Colleen Perius, who now make their home in Dilworth. I did not find his high school activities, but anyone who knew or knows his parents probably assumes that sports were a big part of his growing up years. His mom mentioned he was also active in student government at an early age. After high school, he went on to Jamestown College and then to UND Law School for his law degree. He is now in the prosecutor’s office in St. Cloud, Stearns County, Minn., and lives with his family in Sartell, MN. His wife is a teacher, and they have three children. Nicole Thom, daughter of Willie and Jackie Thom, went to NDSU for her degree in writing and now has a master’s in that major and has been a professor at Missouri State. She is currently the director of communications for the NDSU Foundation and married to Tim Arens of Langdon. They make their home in Fargo. 2001 and 2002 – No annuals have been located for these years, and the clipping file is silent on those who received the award. A listing from the school gives 2001 to Shawn Power and Alyson Wilhelmi, and 2002 to Jennifer Roy and Andrew Luhmann. However, Alyson and Jennifer shared the girl’s honor in 2002. There may have been another chosen for the award in 2001 and that is still being researched. In the meantime, a picture of the future Class of 2001 surfaced in the middle school section of the 1996 annual. I have memories of the outspoken students of that group in 1996 when they grilled substitute teachers and examined their hands to see if their fingernails were too long (mine passed muster) and rolled their eyes over the age of my car, all the while telling me they were the smartest kids in school. It turned out some of them were. 2001 - Shawn Power. Shawn Power, son of Greg and Nancy Power, is probably pictured in the missing annuals doing many things, so I suspect he was out for sports, band, and all sorts of other activities. When your sister passes the 1000 mark in basketball, he probably had hours of shooting baskets himself and might well have joined close friends in band and
