Langdon-Edmore-Munich wins third straight Class A 11-Man title By Jake Kulland Republican Sports Writer
Early deadline for the Nov. 30 issue, ALL news & advertising must be turned in by Noon Tuesday, Nov. 24.
When Langdon-Edmore-Munich won their second football championship in a row, it was talked about how once you reach the top of the mountain, the second time is easier. But to reach the peak a third time is another story especially in the year 2020! With COVID-19 and a pile of new starters on offense and defense, the Cardinals still got it done, winning the Class A 11-Man football title 42-28 over Lisbon. This year was a season of comebacks for many teams and athletes, with this year probably being the biggest in memory. Not only did the Cardinals have
to battle 13 opponents to get the crown and have at least five new starters on offense and defense this year, they battled the coronavirus all season, missing key players in several games but still showing the grit to get the job done. The State championship game was another comeback story for the Cards, as they fell behind the Broncos by scores of 12-0 and 20-8 in the first half, but each time they showed what it takes to become a champion, scoring 34 straight points to win it all. For the Cardinals seniors: Simon Romfo, Grant Romfo, Alex Cluchie, Cooper Zimmer, Drew Simpson and Skylar Fincher, this win may be the most satisfying of the 38 straight wins that Langdon-Ed-
more-Munich has had in their winning streak being how they had to dig deep to get it done. The Romfo twins, Cluchie and sophomore Jack Romfo were first team All-State selections for the 13-0 Cardinals, while Carter Tetrault made the second team. All five of those players plus Zimmer, Gage Goodman, Tucker Welsh, Markus Kingzett and Mason Romfo all made the All-Region 2A squad. Cardinals Coach Josh Krivarchka, who won his fourth straight Class A 11-Man Coach of the Year award, said about his team, "This group has done something very special that will be talked about for a long time. They showed unmatched sportsmanship and commit-
ment both on and off the field." Simon Romfo finished his career with 103 touchdown passes and did not lose a game as the Cardinals starting quarterback. Simon, who was also named Class A 11-Man Senior Athlete of the Year, talked about how this year was made more special due to battling both their opponents and COVID-19, "I think it was more special because we had to deal with the pandemic and all the other things we had to battle and the sacrifices we all made. I love every one of these guys, and it feels great to get another title with them." Grant Romfo added, "Not many can say that they have cont. on page 2

Stremick new Cavalier County Deputy Auditor By Linda Timian Republican Writer Frankie Stremick was hired as the new Deputy Auditor for Cavalier County and started October 26, 2020. Prior to coming to work for the County, she was the Deputy Auditor for the City of Langdon for 4 ½ years. “I don’t think I could’ve started at a better time,” said Stremick. “I got my feet wet early on with the General Election which was quite the learning experience. I look forward to learning much more.” The Deputy Auditor is in charge of payroll, accounts payable, general office duties, gathering of township information/reporting, assists with administration of the election, communication with the County Commission, and all other functions of the Auditor’s office. “I like the variety of tasks that I have,” said Stremick. “It keeps me on my toes and I enjoy getting to work in an office with my coworkers.” County Auditor Lisa Gellner
is pleased with the addition of Stremick to the Auditor’s Office. “She is going to be a great addition to the courthouse staff,” said Gellner. “Frankie comes to the Auditor’s office with a well-rounded background in both accounting and payroll.” Stremick is originally from Arizona. She and her family moved to Langdon in 2014. When not at work, she loves spending time with them.
“Between my husband and kids they keep me pretty busy,” she said. “I did not grow up in Langdon but I am happy that my kids Connor and Ava will get the opportunity to grow up here. We live in a great community.”

Doug Burgum announced several mitigation measures on Nov. 13 aimed at slowing the accelerating spread of COVID-19 in North Dakota in order to protect the vulnerable, ensure hospital capacity and keep schools and the economy open. Capacity is strained across the state’s health care system, jeopardizing the ability of hospitals to provide the first-rate treatment North Dakotans are accustomed to – not only for COVID-19 patients, but also for those seeking care for heart attacks, cancer, trauma and other urgent needs, Burgum noted. “Our doctors and nurses heroically working on the front lines need our help, and they need it now. Since the beginning, we’ve taken a data-driven approach to our pandemic response, focusing on saving lives and livelihoods. Right now, the data demands a higher level of mitigation efforts to reverse these dangerous trends, to slow the spread of this virus and to avoid the need for economic shutdowns,” Burgum said in a video message announcing the measures. “Our situation has changed, and we must change with it. Tonight, we’re announcing four measures designed to reduce the spread of infections in our communities to protect our most vulnerable and to ensure hospital capacity.” The measures include a State Health Officer order requiring face coverings to be worn in indoor businesses and indoor public settings as well as outdoor public settings where physical distancing isn’t possible. The order, signed by interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke, is effective from Nov. 14 through Dec. 13. It includes exceptions for children under age 5, individuals with a medical or mental health condition or disability that makes it unreasonable to wear a mask, and religious services. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week that “adopting universal masking policies can help avert future lockdowns,” and that masks protect not only the people around the individual wearing the mask but also the mask wearer. “The most effective weapon against COVID-19 is wearing a mask,” Wilke said. “This is a simple tool, but one that’s critical in helping protect our loved ones and slow the spread.” Burgum signed an executive order today to implement the other mitigation measures, which take effect Monday, Nov. 16, and are as follows: All bars, restaurants and food service es-
tablishments are limited to 50 percent of their licensed seated capacity, not to exceed 150 patrons, and are closed to in-person service between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Take-out, curbside and delivery will still be allowed during those hours, and Burgum encouraged North Dakotans to take advantage and support local businesses. For those that were already following the ND Smart Restart recommendations of 25 percent capacity in high-risk counties, the change will allow them to safely welcome more customers into their establishments with masking and distancing requirements. Burgum noted the state will soon make $54 million available through a hospitality grant program to help these businesses navigate this challenging time, and has made $70 million available through the Bank of North Dakota to buy down interest on eligible existing debt for any business whose revenue was impacted negatively by COVID-19. All banquet, ballroom and event venues are limited to 25 percent of their maximum occupancy, not to exceed new capacity limits that have been established with input from venues and local public health officials based on the size of the venue. Physical distancing and masks will be required for the safety of all venue personnel and patrons. Playoff championship contests and performance events sponsored by the North Dakota High School Activities Association during the month of November may continue under NDHSAA requirements. All high school winter sports and other extracurricular K-12 school activities are suspended until Dec. 14. This also applies to all association, community and club sports for youth and adults. College and intercollegiate activities must follow guidance from the North Dakota University System and their respective national organizations. Burgum said the four-week pause in activities will help keep schools open to in-person instruction – the optimal learning environment for most students – and ensure that students continue to follow the mitigation strategies of wearing a mask and physical distancing. “I fully support and endorse the orders signed today by Gov. Burgum and the State Health Officer,” said Dr. Joshua Wynne, North Dakota’s chief health strategist and dean of the University
of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences. “We as citizens of North Dakota need to act now to limit further spread of the virus and thus prevent our hospital capacity from being threatened. Let’s do these things now so that by Thanksgiving the pandemic situation in North Dakota will be headed in the right direction.” Those who violate the mask and capacity requirements may be cited for an infraction. Burgum urged law enforcement and public health agencies to prioritize education in their enforcement, providing warnings and education about the risk of transmission, while reserving penalties for the most egregious violations that put public health at risk. Industries not covered by the executive order should continue to follow the North Dakota Smart Restart guidelines. In addition to these four measures, state officials continue to meet daily with North Dakota’s major hospitals to optimize capacity planning and assist with resource needs. “Despite North Dakota’s remarkable efforts at testing and case finding, these measures are no longer enough, and we are now in desperate need of implementing stronger measures in order to save lives and preserve our health care workforce and capacity,” said Dr. Paul Carson, an infectious disease specialist, professor of public health at North Dakota State University and physician advisor to the state’s COVID-19 response. “We have a growing body of good evidence that masking, especially when paired with other mitigation strategies, can substantially reduce the spread of the virus. I am very grateful that the Governor has taken the bold measure to implement an enforced mask mandate across the state, and am hopeful this will help to flatten the curve.” Medical experts say small social gatherings with family and friends are also driving the current COVID-19 surge across the nation. Burgum urged North Dakotans to try to limit gatherings to their immediate household group as much as possible for the next four weeks and to wear a mask if gathering with people from outside the household. “We believe in North Dakotans. We believe in the power of individual responsibility. And we need individual responsibility now more than ever to slow the spread of COVID-19,” Burgum said.

Cavalier County Commission conducts delinquent tax sale By Linda Timian Republican Writer The Cavalier County Commissioners met Tuesday, November 17 to tend to its usual business, conduct the county delinquent tax sale, and reappoint board members to the Northern Valley Human Service Zone. Road Supervisor Terry Johnston presented updated maps by district for the snowplow routes. There were indicators where small stretches could be done by another route. Drivers are to communicate with each other and assist each other where they can. Johnston reported that the spots that were dug out and filled with the ground asphalt/concrete mix are performing very well. It is still packed solid and has lightened in color with time. He is hopeful that it will continue to work well through the spring. Commissioner Stanley Dick made a motion to reappoint Commissioner David Zeis and board member Amy Kram to another three year term on the
Northern Valley Human Service Zone board. Commissioner Austin Lafrenz seconded; carried unanimously. Chair Nick Moser reported that it appears the county is starting to get past the recent spike in COVID-19 cases. Active cases have declined. The hospital had run short on rapid tests, conserving them for symptomatic patients. At 9:56 a.m., Dick made a motion to recess in order to move to the delinquent tax sale. Commissioner Greg Goodman seconded, carried. The delinquent tax properties sale commenced at 10:00 a.m. as published. Bidders were allowed to be present in the north meeting room as well as by remote connections. Bruce Township: Parcel 04184000, Lot 16 block 5 of Clyde V, sold to Clyde Farm Service for $400.00. Parcel 04208000, Lots 1 through 12 block 8 of Clyde V, sold to Clyde Farm Service for $150.00. City of Langdon: Parcel 60354000, Lot 1&2
block 3 Mooney & McHugh 2nd Edition, sold to Rodney Agnes for $5000.00. Parcel 61383000, Pt of E2 of Aud Lot 44A Less Highway 68X130.9 – Auditor’s Lots O26, sold to Darrell Hoffman for $15,000.00. There were four parcels in the City of Calvin, two parcels in the City of Hannah, three parcels in the City of Milton, four parcels in the City of Sarles, and two parcels in the City of Wales that did not receive any bids. Interested parties had until close of business that same day to place bids at the treasurer’s office. Unsold properties remain the property of Cavalier County. The notice of sale and description of properties was posted in the October 26, 2020, edition of the Cavalier County Republican. The delinquent tax sale adjourned, and the meeting moved back to the regular Commission meeting and adjourned. The next Cavalier County Commission meeting is December 1, 2020.
The Langdon Area School Board convened Monday, November 16. While a variety of business was conducted, there was a focus on developments regarding plans on the upcoming mill levy vote. The proposal is to place on the ballot a request of increasing mills from 3 to up to 10. Each mill represents $38,328. This increase would be established to fund necessary updates to the elementary school boiler system and heating and cooling controls. The board unanimously approved by roll call vote both a special election for the levy on January 6, 2021, and the resolution that the vote will be by mail-in ballot only. This resolution was necessary to abide by orders put in place last spring due to COVID protocols. With this stated, the board addressed plans to simultaneously update the high school heating system to natural gas with the proposed elementary school project. The high school project could be done at a marginal additional cost but will be funded utilizing COVID relief funds totaling approximately $150,000 and an efficiency grant from the Department of Commerce that will match up to $100,000. With the updated high school system bringing in an estimated energy saving of $43,000 a year, it was determined the school could pay off this project in as little as 3 years when factoring in the offset cost of these grants. The catch is that COVID relief funds must be used by the end of the calendar year. With that stated, it was decided by the board to
approve the purchase of materials needed for the refurbishing of the high school HVAC system using aforementioned funds with remaining costs to come out of the building fund so that the COVID funds could be used by the end of the year. It was also noted, with the mill levy on the ballot, the smallest portion of proposed projects have already secured funding. The athletic department also reported on the governor's mandate that all activities, other than current fall programs finishing up their seasons, be halted until December 14th. This decision states academic programs can continue but any extra curriculars are not permitted on or off school grounds. This means no open gym anywhere for school athletics. It’s been recommended everyone abide by these rules in order to reduce COVID numbers and provide students with the greatest chance of participating in winter sports after December 14. Also, of note: All staff have been selected as teachers of the year. Leadership feels that with all of the hard work, teamwork, flexibility, and sacrifice employees as a whole have made during this school year, choosing one individual wouldn’t suffice. Tentatively, a celebration has been postponed until spring. Mykal Morstad has been approved to help in the junior high girls basketball program. Proposal from Mortenson & Rygh has been tabled until next meeting. Next regularly scheduled meeting will be Monday, December 21 at 7:00 p.m.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
The power of alcohol … Does anyone remember gasohol? Local Farmers Union Oil companies used to sell it as an alternative fuel in the 1970s. This stuff was going to change the entire dynamic of fueling internal combustion engines. Gasohol was great for a few months until people started realizing what was happening. Rubber O rings and gaskets were deteriorating much faster than they should have. The gasohol was actually breaking down the rubber. As it turned out, gasohol was a mixture of gasoline and methanol, an alcohol that is used in various applications from rocket fuel to antifreeze. But because it became such a problem in gas lines, it went by the wayside because consumers no longer reveled in it. Some years later, ethanol came along which is alcohol made from corn, while methanol is usually produced from wood or is chemically produced in a lab. Ethanol got some traction that methanol did not, but there are still people who believe that ethanol and methanol are one and the same, but they're not. The alcohol in ethanol has an insignificant effect on rubber. It’s like Johnny Carson’s analogy of Fresca causing cancer. You’d have to drink 66 cans of Fresca every day for 600 years to develop cancer from it. It’s insignificant. As the ethanol industry grew, the auto makers began building cars called flex fuel vehicles to handle 85 percent alcohol/15 percent gasoline mix commonly known as E-85. The good news about E-85 is it is high octane and will give any engine more torque and take off power. The bad news is mileage in your vehicle will drop off 2 or 3 miles per gallon. Thus, you have to weigh the mileage vs. the cost to compare the economy of gas or ethanol. Some of us just like to have that extra giddy up. The problem with ethanol in North Dakota is a chicken and egg scenario. It’s gotten to where consumers don’t buy it because it’s too expensive relative to gasoline. At the same time, refuelers stop handling it because nobody’s buying it. Farmers Union Oil Co. in Devils Lake was the first place to offer ethanol in North
Dakota. Sometime later, it began offering biodiesel. Today, E-85 is still available there. Biodiesel is only available now in Grand Forks? But, go across the border into Minnesota, and you’ll find six biodiesel locations in Moorhead with another 20 miles away in Barnesville. In reality, to make E-85 cost effective, it should cost 60 cents less per gallon than gas does. If not, you’re not getting your money’s worth. According to the Alternative Fuels Data Center, 35 refuelers in North Dakota have E-85, including 11 in Fargo and two in West Fargo. Bismarck, Mandan, Devils Lake and Valley City, each have two. Minot has one, and in South Dakota, Aberdeen, with the same population as Minot, has five. Alcohol burns clean, it won’t destroy the seals and O-rings, and it is an excellent gas line anti-freeze. I often chuckle when I see people putting isopropyl alcohol in their tanks during bitter cold temperatures. If you have a vehicle that burns any amount of alcohol from E-10 to E-85, you don’t need to put alcohol in your gas line. There are several ethanol facilities in North Dakota, and one oxymoron is in Richardton. Red Trail Energy produces alcohol fuel from corn, and across the highway is Farmers Union Oil, yet, it doesn’t offer alcohol fuel. Most filling stations do use 10 percent alcohol in their gas, which again, is adequate for gas line anti-freeze. When you consider corn as the product in making ethanol, these facilities aren’t using corn for human consumption and making us go hungry, as some conspiracy theorists have been led to believe. The ethanol plants are using feed grade corn, and the byproduct of that is fed to cattle so there is virtually no waste involved. Consumer habits really drive this product. If you look at Minnesota, there are about 400 places to get E-85. The map of Iowa looks very similar. Florida, which doesn’t have corn to speak of, has at least 58 E-85 refuelers including 10 in the Tampa metro, yet there are none in Montana and only one in Idaho. Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana are dotted with points all across those states. E-85 has been available in North Dakota since 2005 when Devils Lake took on the risk to see how consumers would treat this alternative fuel.
Constitution assures election intrigue will end The 2020 presidential election, prolonged by President Donald Trump’s court challenges and demands for recounts in some states will come to an end, sooner rather than later. Citizens may be assured of that by constitutional and statutory mechanisms. This election, fraught with tension and anxiety, is not nearly the nail-biter that the nation endured in the 2000 campaign, which ended only after the US Supreme Court ruled in Bush v. Gore that the recount in the State of Florida could not continue. That 5-4 decision, delivered on Dec. 12, resulted in the award of the state’s Electoral College votes to George W. Bush, who captured the popular vote by 535 votes. That is what we Americans call a close presidential election. The 2020 race, by comparison, is a walk in the park, despite a protracted period. For students of our constitutional system, it represents a fine teaching moment about the rights of candidates and the nature of the electoral process. For starters, understand that President Trump is exercising the rights available to any presidential candidate. He is entitled to seek an election recount. In some states, a recount is automatically triggered if the margin of the victory falls within stated parameters. It is also
North Dakota Physicians Letter 2: We, as North Dakota Physicians, support and thank Governor Burgum for his recent executive orders mandating masks, restricting large crowds, and limiting restaurant hours/capacity. We are grateful to Governor Burgum for taking this step to protect North Dakotans’ lives in a way that optimizes livelihoods under the circumstances of significant COVID case rates, hospitalizations, and deaths in our state. We recognize that these classic mitigation strategies, along with isolation of positive cases and quarantining of close contacts, as well as frequent handwashing and disinfecting surfaces, are the only viable options for significantly reducing the burden of COVID disease in our state while we await a successful vaccine. We thank North Dakotans for their compliance with these orders. We know that this may require significant sacrifices on the part of many of you. Please know that you are helping us, your healthcare providers and public health workers, to do our best to keep us all safe, while preserving our ability to continue caring for you when needed in our hospitals and clinics. Know that this is not something that we need to bear forever. We are hopeful that if we all step up to make these sacrifices together now, we can hope for a flattening of the curve

clear that a presidential candidate may assert, as Trump is asserting, that the voting process reflected improper conduct or counting, or even fraud or illegal behavior, and seek a remedy through the courts. At this juncture, Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results are unavailing. He has yet to win a significant victory in court. Most of his lawsuits have been dismissed by the presiding judge after Trump’s lawyers have been unable to produce any evidence of fraud or wrongdoing. The New York Times recently reported that state election officials across the country have not declared any fraud in their jurisdictions. If Trump’s litigation path reaches a dead end, then his only hope for avoiding defeat at the hands of former Vice President Joe Biden is to prevail in a recount of the votes cast in various battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona. History tells us that recount efforts may flip 100 or 200 votes, but not significantly more. That history reflects the fact that those who count votes seldom make errors. Workers are meticulous patriots, committed to counting every ballot. As a result, Trump’s wishes are not likely to be fulfilled. Thus far, the last ballots counted by clerks have contributed to Biden’s rising—not falling—margin. President Trump may well pursue these efforts to overturn election results until all potential remedial paths have been exhausted. Some advisers are counseling him to abandon these dim hopes, in part to immediately launch what he himself has forecast to friends and supporters-- a bid to recapture the White House in 2024.

Whatever course President Trump decides to follow, federal law and constitutional provisions will govern the conclusion to the 2020 presidential election. A federal law—3 U.S. Code , section 5—requires states to resolve any disputes six days before members of the Electoral College meet Dec. 14 to cast their ballots, based on the outcome of the election results in their respective states. This statute means the deadline for settling disputes in 2020 is Dec. 8. Thus, the nation may need to wait for nearly a month longer before the Electoral College fulfills its constitutional duty and casts the votes that will make Joe Biden the 46th president of the United States. The constitutional right of Americans to choose the form of government for our nation, and the men and women who should be placed at the helm to carry out solemn duties and responsibilities, is what Thomas Jefferson called, “the ark of our safety,” indispensable to carrying out the will of the people. This precious right, hardly available to many on our planet, even in the 21st Century, will not be deterred by delays. That would greatly please those who founded our nation. ~~~ Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality. Send questions about the Constitution to this newspaper and he will attempt to answer them in subsequent columns.

By requiring masks, reducing restaurant and bar capacity and limiting hours, and temporarily pausing high school sports, we can slow the spread of the virus, keep schools open, and avoid hospitals being overrun. It will take all of us working together though. We are seeing a significant increase in cases and hospitalizations, which puts incredible stress on doctors, nurses, and support staff. When you wear a mask, you support these health care heroes. When you wear a mask, you help ensure that there will be hospital beds and staff to take care of patients — whether they have COVID-19, a heart attack, stroke, car accident, or other serious health problem. When you wear a mask, you choose facts over fear. Masks aren’t perfect, but they help reduce the release of virus-laden droplets from our mouths and noses. One study, for example, of an outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt which has congregate living quarters and a close working environment found that use of face coverings was associated with a 70% reduced risk. Imagine if we reduced the spread that much just by the simple act of wearing a mask. We are all tired of how this virus has affected us. Especially tired are the health care workers who have been working overtime for months. We cannot create more nurses and doctors to take care of an ever-increasing number of patients. The current path is unsustainable. We must slow the spread. Please help yourself, your neighbors, and our health care workers by wearing a mask, washing your hands, and avoiding gatherings. This won’t last forever. Let’s take care of each other in the meantime. Jeff Herman, MBA, RN Chair Tim Blasi President ND Hospital Association

From the Pastor’s Desk
Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Pastor Don Barsness of Salem Bible Church
“Thanksgiving” For me, Thanksgiving is the enveloping holiday. Whether it’s Christmas or Easter, Memorial Day or the Fourth of July, there’s reason to be thankful. Every gathering of celebration nudges me toward God. I muse over a festivity, and something of God’s activity gains clarity. Every calendar occasion reserves a place for giving thanks. Punch in a date, and you’ve identified a timeframe of God’s goodness to you. The Psalmist David wrote, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads our lives with benefits, the God of our salvation” (Psalm 68:19). David says each day of our lives is loaded with God’s blessings. If there are blessings to be identified then there is reason for us to give thanks to God. The New Testament writer James states that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from [God]” (James 1:17). You don’t have to believe that God exists. You don’t have to believe that He is active in blessing you day-by-day. You don’t have to believe that He cares about you, but because God does care about you, He blesses you every day.
The blessings of God in our lives are about God and His love for us. The quantity and quality of our thanksgiving is about us. The Apostle Paul identified a spiritual darkness in each of us, that while God is blessing us, our hearts and thoughts fail to glorify Him as God and to thank Him for His blessings (Romans 1). That’s a big deal. It’s so important that God sent His son, Jesus, to shine spiritual light on our hearts and minds. It’s the light of the Gospel. It leads us past the general knowledge of God that we gain in observing nature and into personally knowing God. We come to know that God loves us (John 3:16). We come to love Him (1 John 4:19). We grow to understand that He is working in all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). We believe. We confess. And suddenly, perhaps, and surely to our surprise, we come to experience a spiritual fellowship with God. The light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ permeates even the most restrictive darkness of our lives. The splendor and majesty of God shines into our everyday existence. God is good. We are blessed, and we thank Him.

Give the gift of N.D. this holiday season Now more than ever, this holiday season is a time to lift up North Dakota small businesses struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shopping is an important part of the holiday season and can be done safely. Local businesses are doing their part to keep you safe when you browse their aisles. Show your support by following ND Smart Restart guidelines when you’re near other shoppers or employees, whether that’s shopping quaint downtown boutiques or utilizing curbside or take-out options at our unique restaurants and diners. Small Business Saturday will have a different look this season, but it’s still an opportunity to support “shop local” events or shop from the com-
fort of home. Many local businesses offer online shopping and Pride of Dakota (https://www.prideofdakota.nd.gov/) is still a great holiday gift-giving option. How about giving the gift of travel? Wrap up the excitement that provides lifelong memories by booking a legendary North Dakota trip. Whether you’re ready to explore safely now or are dreaming of that next adventure, we’ll be ready. Consider giving gift cards for a lodge, cabin or hotel and locally owned restaurant, or maybe a round of golf or guided outdoor adventure, like mountain biking or fishing.

David L. Strand
David L. Strand of Aitkin, Minn. and formerly of St. Paul, Minn., died early on the morning of Nov. 12, 2020, at Riverwood Healthcare Center in Aitkin. David succumbed to glioblastoma, a deadly stage 4 brain cancer of which he was diagnosed in August 2019 and given six months to live. His love of life and family gave him the will and fortitude to last until now. He enjoyed a beautiful summer fishing, boating and gardening with family and friends at his home on Cedar Lake. His professional life spanned 33 years with 3M Company in St Paul. He en- joyed traveling internationally, building Scotchbrite factories in Europe and
living several years with his family in Europe, happy that they, too, had the opportunity to experience different cultures and learn foreign languages. He was a guest editorial writer for the Aitkin Independent Age for 20 years, sharing his views on politics and other relevant topics and current events. In 2018 he was instrumental in creating what he called his greatest accomplishment, the creation of the book “The Music of the Soul Lives On,” an anthology of the life, writings and music of his grandson Henry Mackaman, which went on to win many awards in the U.S. and internationally. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him, learned from him, and experienced his warm and generous heart. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Cordy (nee Mary Machart); son Bradley David (Kristina) of
Nantucket, Mass.; daughter Meredith Leigh of St. Paul, Minn.; four grandsons: Ben, Avery and Liam Strand and Owen Mackaman; sister Dorothy Johnson (Bruce) of Edmore, ND; and dear friend, Meredith Lomen of Stillwater, Minn. He was preceded in death by parents Carl and Alice (Dubourt) Strand; brother Dr. Richard C. Strand of Chicago; and his precious grandson, Henry Douglas Mackaman. Honoring his wishes there will be no funeral. A celebration of his well-lived life will be held at a later date. If so desired, memorials in his name may be sent to KARA ( Kids At Risk Action), a foundation of which he was a founder, C/O Mike Tikkanen, 12801 Sheffield Curve, Minnetonka, MN 55305.

Audrey Schell
An open visitation will be held from 10: 00 a.m. to Noon on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at St. Alphonsus Church in Langdon, with a private family Mass of Christian Burial at 2:00 p.m. for Audrey Schell, 82, of Jamestown and formerly of Langdon, who passed away November 9, 2020, at Ave Maria Village in Jamestown. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon. Audrey Jean Janzen was born June 20, 1938, in Munich, to Peter and Gertrude (Cornelison) Janzen. She attended school in Munich and Hampden, graduating from Hampden High School, before continuing her education at Bottineau College for a short time. On December 23, 1960, she married Michael “Jack” Schell. They made their home in Langdon where they raised their family. She held several jobs in Langdon including hostess/ waitress, dental receptionist, and day care for two very special people close to her heart. She enjoyed working at many businesses in Langdon and did every job she had with great passion. She was a member of American Legion Auxiliary and Eagles Auxiliary. She enjoyed tending to her flowers and yard, word finds, playing cards, having coffee with her closest friends, and, most of all, decorating for every holiday. She looked forward to family holiday gatherings and at-
tending her grandchildren’s events; spending time with family brought her much joy. She also never missed sending cards to friends and family for special occasions. Surviving Audrey are her children: Sandy Biffert (Jarvis Schmidt) of Hazen, Terry Schell of Grandin, Michael Schell (Sherry Skoglund) of Roseau, Minn., and Sheri Beedy (Dennis Gumke) of Jamestown; grandchildren: Kayla (Josh) Smith, Lisa (Jamie) Hams, Racheal Biffert, Lexie Biffert, Logan Biffert, Austin (Lisa) Schell, Abby Schell, Kendra (Jesse) Henke, Kelton Beedy, Dalton Skoglund, and Selina Skoglund; great-grandchildren: Macee, Izabel, Gunner, Jadin, Kenadee, Sage, Drew, Kallie, Emma, Audrey, and Molly; brothers Allen (Mary) Janzen and Dale Janzen; brothers-in-law Don Schell, Gerald (Darlene) Schell, and Harlan (Kaye) Schell; sisters-inlaw Rosie Streifel and Diane Schell; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Jack, infant daughter, brother Darryl, and mother and father-in-law Eva and Frank Schell. The family would like to thank all the staff at Ave Maria Village for the compassionate care Audrey received while a resident there for the past four years. Any memorials may be sent to Ave Maria Village, 501 19th St. NE, Jamestown, ND 58401-2599. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.
A private family service was held on Sunday, November 15, 2020, at Amundson Funeral Home in Grand Forks for Helen Gertrude Haaven, Grand Forks, who passed away November 12, 2020, at the age of 88. She died in home hospice in the loving care of nursing staff and family members. Committal will be Monday, November 16 at Lebanon Cemetery in Langdon. Helen was born January 10, 1932, at Maida, to Victor P. Koehmstedt and Gladys Howatt. She was the second youngest in a family of five girls and one boy. Her mother died of a heart attack when she was only four. Nine years later her father was remarried to Ann Daniels, whom she loved for being a kind and capable step-mother. Helen attended St. Alphonsus High School in Langdon, graduating in 1949. On August 8, 1950, she married Lynn Jay Haaven at Langdon Lutheran Church. They settled on the family farm southwest of Hannah. There she expanded her already developed work skills to include the arduous duties of a farm wife in the home, garden and fields, becoming a skilled truck driver and equipment operator. Between 1951 and 1959, four children were to born to her and Lynn: Sheryl Jean, Larry Duane, Jeffrey Allen and Bruce Erick. Throughout her life, she was actively involved in her church and community in ladies aid, as a Sunday school teacher, and later in life, doing volunteer work. She was a skilled seamstress and an excellent cook and baker. Her immediate and extended family, as well as numerous neighbors and friends enjoyed her countless delicious meals and baked delicacies. Lynn and her closely followed sports, drama and music throughout the school and college year of their children and grandchildren. In 1985 the couple retired from farming and purchased a home in Grand Forks where they
developed another circle of friends and became involved in church and community activities there. For a span of years during this time, they traveled in their motorhome to a winter destination in Arizona. She and Lynn celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on August 8, 2000. Other life highlights included the weddings of their children, arrival of nine grandchildren and eventual addition of fourteen great-grandchildren.

Wallis Knutt
Funeral services were held Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at All Nations Lutheran Church in Rocklake for Wallis Knutt, 82, of Rocklake, who passed away Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at the family farm south of Rocklake. Burial will be at the Arndt Cemetery, rural Rocklake. Wallis Emmet Knutt was born on March 29, 1938, in Cando, the son of Walter and Pauline (Klebaum) Knutt. He was educated in his early years in a country school near the family farm where he grew up in Virginia Township and graduated from Cando High School in 1956. While in high school, he worked for JC Penney in Cando and for several area farmers. During and after high school, he was a member of the ND Army National Guard and worked on elevator construction crews, where he enjoyed the heights. He then returned to Rocklake to the family farm, working for his father. When his father and mother retired to Cando, he and younger brother Ronald became partners in operating the farm. The partnership split up in 1985, and he continued operating his own cattle operation, Knutt’s Polled Simmentals, and grain farm. He suffered a heart attack in December of 1994 and cut back severely on the number of cattle, selling out the livestock completely at the beginning of 2001. He continued to keep his hand in farm-
ing by working for daughter Gail’s husband’s family farm during the harvest months until 2013. In 1973, he met Helen A. (Hartwick) Lloyd, a widowed veterinary student from the University of Minnesota, who was gaining experience at the Lake Region Veterinary Clinic in Devils Lake. He asked Helen to meet for supper to discuss the findings of some lab work done on the hogs he was raising. At supper, Helen was surprised to realize they were actually on a date! They were married March 16, 1974, at the Cando Lutheran Church. They made their home on the family farm south of Rocklake. While he raised cattle and farmed, Helen owned and operated the Knutt Veterinary Clinic/ Hospital in Rocklake and Knutt Satellite Clinic in Langdon. They had two children: Gail Ellen and Martha Eve (Marty). He was a hardworking man, and animals were a passion of his. Over the years, besides cattle, he also raised commercial turkeys and hogs. On a much smaller scale, he also raised Labrador Retrievers, chickens, geese, Muscovy ducks, and calico and orange farm cats. He even kept some honeybees! Later years found him putting on many miles on the back roads of the Rocklake, Brumbaugh, Crocus and Snyder Lake areas to check for any area wildlife. He had many hunting and fishing stories and adventures that included a Canada Lynx he shot near the farm in the 1960’s, many deer taken in the local area, a halibut caught on an Alaskan trip he and Helen took in 2005, and a black bear harvested during a hunt-
ing trip they took to Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2009. He also enjoyed gardening and cultivated a bit of an orchard that included apple, pear, plum, and apricot trees, raspberries, and grape and blackberry vines. One of his greatest joys were his three granddaughters. He enjoyed watching their basketball, volleyball, T-ball and softball games and archery meets. He took in as many of their music concerts, school and Sunday School plays, piano recitals, and 4-H achievement days as he could. He was always eager to share his life stories and his love of animals, plants, and hunting with them. His faith was important to him. He was a member of All Nations Lutheran Church in Rocklake. He was also a member of the National Rifle Association, ND Farmers Union, ND Simmental Association, the NFO, and held 2 terms on the North Central School District school board in, Rocklake. Wallis is survived by his wife, Helen, of Rocklake; daughters Gail (Terry) Harder of Munich and Marty (Curtis) Larson of New Rockford; and granddaughters: Casey June (Luke) Weston of Milwaukee, Wisc., Coty Mae Harder of Grand Forks, and Olivia Rose Larson of New Rockford. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: Albert, Welton, Robert and Ronald; sister Anna Zachow; an infant brother; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Dunnigan-Dix Funeral Home of Cando was in charge of arrangements. Online guestbook is available at www.dunnigandix.com.
A private service was held on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, and is available on the funeral home’s website for viewing for Virgil Glenn Ellingson, 82, of Lisbon, who passed away November 14, 2020, surrounded by his family.

He attended school in Euclid, Minn. and joined the US Army in 1961. He was
honorably discharged in 1967 and began work for Burlington Northern Railroad in Crookston, Minn. He met his soon-to-be bride, Diane Jacobson, in Crookston, and they were united in marriage on August 30, 1973. The couple had three daughters together and made their home in Langdon.

She and Bob lived for two years on the Seward Peterson farm near Vang. In 1957, they moved to Helmer and Mabel’s farmstead. They resided
there together until the passing of Bob in 1994, and she lived there until 2008 when she moved the family home into Walhalla. She later moved into North Border Estates and eventually to the Pembilier Nursing Center, where she was taken great care of and shown so much love and kindness until the time of her death. She and Bob were the parents of seven sons, which kept them very busy.

Cardinals win third straight title in comeback style, winning 42-28 over Lisbon L-E-M finishes Championship season at 13-0, winning streak moves to 38; Simon Romfo named Class A Senior Athlete of the Year, Coach Krivarchka Coach of the Year By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
After a season that had players missing from the lineup in several games, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team had the band back together for the Class A Man Football Championship when they played Lisbon at the Fargodome during the 28th Annual Dakota Bowl. Despite starting slowly with an 8:10 a.m. kickoff, the Cards came back from two scores down two times in the game to win 4228, scoring 34 unanswered points at one time in the victory. It's now a Langdon-Edmore-Munich threepeat of Class A 11-Man Championships, and they have gone unbeaten in all three title seasons. The Cards now finished the season at 13-0, and their overall winning streak is now at 38 straight games. Simon Romfo was named Class A 11-Man Senior Athlete of the Year, and Josh Krivarchka won his fourth straight Class A Coach of the Year Award. The Cardinals six seniors: Simon Romfo, Grant Romfo, Alex Cluchie, Cooper Zimmer, Drew Simpson and Skyler Fincher played their last
game for Cardinals football, and all six had great careers and will be greatly missed. Simon and Grant Romfo, Cluchie, and sophomore Jack Romfo made the Class A 11-Man All-State first team, while sophomore Carter Tetrault was named to the All-State second team. Those five along with Zimmer, Tucker Welsh, Gage Goodman, Markus Kingzett and Mason Romfo all made the All-Region 2A team. The championship game opened with Lisbon driving right down the field to begin the contest. They would punch in a three yard touchdown run by Jordan Sours to take an early 6-0 lead. On the Cardinals first drive, it was disaster as Broncos defensive lineman Robert Adam jumped a screen pass intended for Grant Romfo and ran it in for a score from 50 yards out to make it 12-0. Langdon-Edmore-Munich began to make its comeback with a three yard touchdown run by Simon Romfo on the first play of the second quarter, but Lisbon would answer with a long touchdown from Hunter Schultz to tight end Avery
Dick to bring Lisbon back to a 12 point lead at 20-8. That would be the last time the Broncos would find paydirt until late in the fourth quarter. The Cards would put things together and score 34 unanswered points to not only take the lead but put the game away. Langdon-Edmore-Munich would get down the field and score on a two yard run by Grant Romfo with 14 seconds remaining in the first half, to make it 20-16. Then the Cardinals would get a 40 yard pass from Simon to Markus Kingzett to set up another Grant Romfo score. Simon then hit Carter Tetrault perfectly in stride on a 63 yard strike down the right sideline for another Grant one yard plunge. Two clinching plays came in the fourth quarter, the first on a Simon Romfo sprint to the end zone on a 51 yard run and the other coming on a perfectly timed interception by sophomore Gage Goodman, which resulted in a touchdown pass from Simon to Grant, the 32nd time they've done that in their careers. Defensively the Cards forced on three and out after another on the Lisbon offense, setting up big things
for the scoring drives. Coach Krivarchka talked about the win, saying "I thought the score right before halftime was huge. We knew we'd get the ball to start the second half, so both touchdowns were key momentum wise. Whenever we got to where we needed to make a play, we got it done. We always feel we have the best player on the field in Simon and always have the ace in the deck when we need to play it. I'm so proud of all my guys. All six seniors are very special to me, and I'm glad we got it done again." Simon Romfo finished the game and his remarkable career with 196 yards passing in the title game plus 133 rushing on 26 carries. He also was the Cardinals leading tackler with 11 take downs, six of them solos. Alex Cluchie also ended a great career with eight tackles in the championship, seven of them solo. Grant Romfo had eight catches for 82 yards to lead the team. Below you can find a box score from the title game plus the end of the year Cardinals stats, and some unbelievable career stats for Simon and Grant Romfo.

Lady Cards win sixth straight Region 4 Volleyball Title; Advance to State Tourney in Fargo Cardinals extend State Class B Record with 21st overall state appearance, Olson wins Senior Athlete of the Year By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals had to win two more matches to win the Region 4 Volleyball Tournament Championship. They got that done, winning in the semifinals over Benson County 3-0 then beating North Star in a thrilling five set championship match 3-2. With the win the Lady Cards advance their record to 20-2 and will now get an opportunity to defend their State B Championship, which would be their fifth overall. The Cardinals have now won the Region 4 title six years in a row and are going to state for a record 21st time in program history. In the 25 years that Cards coach Rich Olson has headed up the program, the Lady Cards have now gone to state in 19 of those 25 seasons. LangdonEdmore-Munich played Kenmare in the opening round of the State B Tourney, which runs November 19-21 at the Fargodome. Cardinals Lexi Olson, Kaylee Lowery, Morgan Freije, Marlee Hetletved and Jalynn Swanson made the All-Region 4 team, while Lexi Olson was named Senior Athlete of the Year, and Jenna Hudson of Rolla was Region 4 Coach of the Year. Here is a recap of their last two games of the region tournament: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Benson County 0 The Cardinals had an easy time of it until the thirdset versus the Wildcats. The Lady Cards sped through the firstsets, winning by scores of 25-10 and 25-11. BC made things interesting in the third set though by taking advantage of the Cards unforced errors, but Langdon-Edmore-Munich got a nice run at the end to win the match by a sweep. Cora Badding had one of her best matches of the season, lead-
ing the team with 12 kills, followed by Morgan Freije with 11. Junior Morgan Thielbar stepped in at setter for the Cards due to some players out for being close contacts with COVID-19. Thielbar played very well finishing with 30 assists for the match. Lexi Olson added a team high three stuff blocks and 22 digs.

This was the seventh year in a row they had faced each other in the regional final. The match would begin with the Cardinals pulling away late to win the first set but then North Star jump out to an early lead in set two 14-8 then survived two runs by the Cardinals to even the match. In set three the Lady Cards went on a 9-1 run to lead 19-10 and end up winning the set by the same margin. But, again, the Bearcats would not give in leading nearly all of the fourth set then again sustaining a late Cardinals run to even the match at two sets apiece.
North Star moved out to a 3-1 lead in set five, which only goes to 15 points, but a number of Cards players stepped up including a couple of big kills from Cora Badding. The Cards grabbed the lead and did not give it back, winning the match by a fifth set score of 15-8. So many Cardinals players had a big day with big hands in the win. Lexi Olson led the team with 20 kills, including her last won to win the match, and she also led the team with six stuff blocks and 23 digs. Morgan Freije led the team with a strong serving afternoon and a game high five aces while also coming up huge defensively with 30 digs. Kaylee Lowery would finish with 13 kills and three blocks, and libero Marlee Hetletved had 18 digs. Leading the way for North Star was their captain Danielle Hagler, who dominated for the Bearcats with 26 kills, 34 digs and five stuffs.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland
Rodney Howatt sent in this photo, and here is the story behind it: “I was deer hunting out by my farm west of Hannah, and I had spotted some deer on my neighbor’s land when I saw the ‘no trespassing’ signs on his land. He just started posting his land in the last two years. Being a good neighbor, I stopped and asked to hunt on his land, but he said no. I was ok with that. But when I left his yard, a fawn stepped out of the trees right behind a ‘no trespassing’ sign. It was in no hurry to leave allowing me to get some photos. I wonder if the deer are getting smarter?!”

Cardinals football brings back the gold for the third year in a row Good news begins this week with the Langdon-Edmore-Munich football team winning their third straight Class A 11-Man Football Championship in a game played at the Fargodome for the 28th Annual Dakota Bowl on November 13. Things were a little different for the Cardinals this year, as they had to come back from two 12 points deficits to win 42-28. The win is the first 3-peat by a Class A team since Velva did it in the early 2000's. This year's title was also different because the Cardinals had to battle another foe outside of their opponents - COVID-19. The virus took away some of the Cards players at various times during the season, but they were back at full strength in the title match up. It's crazy to say that this is the last time we all will see Simon Romfo, Grant Romfo, Alex Cluchie, Cooper Zimmer, Drew Simpson and Skyler Fincher play on the gridiron in a Cardinals uniform. Most will hopefully be playing winter or spring sports later (which we will discuss later below), but it's a little sad that this is it for them in high school football. We speak for many when we congratulate all six seniors on fantastic football careers. These seniors have lots to be proud of: 1. They went 47-1 in their four years of Cardinals football, 2. They never lost a Region 2A game in those years, and 3. They leave with a 38 game winning streak (which we also talk about in a bit). The stats on this season are, again, staggering - you can find them on the sports page of this paper. Simon Romfo was named Class A Senior Athlete of the Year, and he will always be able to say that he never lost a high school game as a starting quarterback which is rare. He also threw a stunning 103 touchdown passes in three years as a starter. Cardinals Coach Josh Krivarchka won the Class A Coach of the Year award for the fourth straight year, and we were teasing him after the game that he's now won it so many times they're going to name the trophy after him. Of course, we were kidding, and what a great run it's been and continues to be. Despite losing some once-in-a-lifetime talent, the Cardinals still will have a ton of solid players coming back for next year's team with only one senior at this time in Tucker Welsh. The good times hope to continue next season, but let's all enjoy another fantastic season of Cardinals football. Congrats to everyone who had a part in it! So, is it 37 wins in a row... Or 38? We were told before this COVID-19 season of fall sports began that any team that had to forfeit for a positive virus case or close contacts, it would not be counted as a win or a loss, rather it would be a no contest. So, when Langdon-Edmore-Munich won by forfeit over Oakes in the semifinals of the Class A playoffs, we assumed it couldn't
be counted as a Cards win for that fact. But Tom Mix, media specialist at the NDHSAA, told us that since this was a playoff game between the Cardinals and the Tornadoes, by the letter of the rules and regulations, it's considered a win. So that means the Cardinals football winning streak is actually at 38 games, not 37 as we first thought. No big deal for some, but for the players involved - I'm sure it means a lot. At least it got cleared up so everyone, including me, is on the same page with it. Lady Cards win sixth straight Region 4 title; Going to state for a record 21st year in program history The good news continues with the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals winning the Region 4 Volleyball Tournament title once again. Like the Cardinals football team, the Lady Cards volleyball also has pushed through a lot of adversity, including stopping their season for two weeks to missing two players for the last two matches at regionals. But they got it done, winning over North Star in the championship match 3-2 that had many sitting on the edge of their seat from start to finish. Langdon-EdmoreMunich now advances to the State B Tournament at the Fargodome on November 19-21. Their first match was against a good Kenmare team in the opening round. The 20-2 Cardinals take a 17-match winning streak into the state tourney. This is a State B record 21st appearance at state for L-E-M. Governor Burgum pauses winter sports until Dec. 14 but now may allow practices to start November 30 This whole sports season has been like a roller coaster that never stops. The latest is North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum announced that he signed an executive order postponing winter sports for all ages until December 14. In news that broke just as we were getting this column ready, apparently, he is going to amend that order after visiting with legislative and NDHSAA officials on the matter. No, it seems that practice can get back in order on November 30 with competitions being allowed beginning on December 14. Now, the news on these types of things changes daily, sometimes hourly. So for those that are hoping to compete in winter sports, we will see if this plan sticks. We will have more on it next week. Hats off to Sandy Laxdal We will leave with the sad news that Cavalier head football Sandy Laxdal has decided to call it quits after 13 years coaching the Tornadoes and a 30-year coaching career overall. Coach Laxdal took the Tornadoes to the Dakota Bowl again this year in 9-Man Football, coming just one touchdown short for the title. He got his 150th football coaching win this year which is quite a milestone. We want to congratulate Coach Laxdal on a great career and wish him the best in his retirement. He's always been a class act to everyone that has known him and will still be a great friend of mine. Great job, Coach! "See ya!" next week!
This week’s Pigskin Winner is

Turkey Tips There are some things in life that just aren’t appreciated until you’ve reached an age of understanding. Waking up to the smell of turkey on Thanksgiving Day in time to watch Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of them. The realization that I have as an adult, of all the things my parents did for me kind of hit me at different times in different ways, and they still happen every once in a while, even though I’m older now. Our family, like most families, celebrate the tradition of the Thanksgiving holiday with turkey and all the trimmings. Until I got my own home and started to host our family Thanksgiving, I didn’t realize how much work it was to actually accomplish that, such as waking up extra early on a day off to put the turkey in the oven so it was ready in time for lunch. I appreciate all of the hard work and dedication my mother put into all the preparation and cooking that goes into the holiday, especially to keep us safe from food borne illness. Often times, Thanksgiving dinner consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, sweet
Dakota Gardener: The warmth of a good fire and good friendship By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension As we all know, 2020 has been an interesting year. My wife and I have been very fortunate; we’re healthy and we’ve been able to visit with a few of our neighbors about once a month. These get-togethers have all been outdoors and usually there’s a small bonfire involved. One of our friends already is worried about winter, though. Will we be able to see each other at all? My response is, “Absolutely! We just need warmer clothes and bigger bonfires.” Relatively few households use wood as their main source of heat, although the percentage has increased in the last 20 years as outdoor wood furnaces have become more common. Indoor wood stoves also are relatively uncommon, although not unheard of. When I was in graduate school in West Virginia, we actually had a wood-burning stove as a secondary source of heat for our small rental house. Otherwise, we used electric baseboard heating. That wood stove saved us a lot of money when
funds were tight. A very unique wood-heated facility in North Dakota is at Bismarck State College. The BSC Aquatic Center burns wood waste from the Bismarck Forestry Department’s pruning program. It’s a great use of a resource that otherwise might go to waste. Many municipal forestry programs offer wood to residents, although you’ll probably have to do the cutting and splitting yourself. How much heat does wood give out? I’ve looked into this question a lot through the years and I’m always surprised by the answers. Pound for pound, most hardwood (deciduous) tree species contain roughly the same amount of heat – about 8,600 British thermal units (BTUs) per pound (https://extension.missouri.edu/media/wysiwyg/Extensiondata/Pub/pdf/agguides/forestry/g05450.pdf). Bur oak, boxelder and even cottonwood all hold a similar amount of heat by the pound. But firewood is rarely sold by the pound. Instead, it’s usually sold by volume – by the cord. What’s a cord? It’s a stacked pile of wood, bark and air space that measures 4 feet high by 8 feet wide by 4 feet deep. A “face cord” is a stacked pile that’s 4 feet high by 8 feet wide by X feet deep. X is usually 16, 20 or 24
inches, based on what size a given stove or fireplace can take. For my own firewood, I’ll take the oak instead of cottonwood any day. Oak is much denser than cottonwood and we have limited storage space. Although boxelder is pretty abundant, oak is a lot easier to split. I like to let my firewood dry for at least a year before using it. Cottonwood contains an amazing amount of water, and once the wood dries, it’s very light and puts off very little heat. There’s an old saying about firewood that goes like this: Firewood heats you three times. The first is when you cut it. The second time is when you split and stack it. The third time is when you finally burn it. My wife and I likely will have a few fires in the fireplace this winter. It’s very comforting on a cold, windy night. And maybe on those occasional calm days, we’ll go outside and have a bonfire with our friends. That’ll keep us warm. For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent.

North Dakota 4-H Camp,” says Duane Hauck, retired NDSU Extension director. “McLean and Burleigh counties, where they served as lead Extension agents, provided critical staff support needed for the camp to operate and be maintained over the years. “They also dedicated their personal time and talent to the maintenance and management of the camp by serving on committees and always assisting with spring and fall camp maintenance activities,” Hauck adds. Carpentier and Haadem died in March 2020. Carpentier was an NDSU Extension agent from 1967 to 2011. Haadem served as an agent from 1968 to 2011. The North Dakota 4-H camping
program provides a wide range of educational experiences for more than 500 youth each summer. The camp also is available to families and community groups for reunions, classes and other educational and social gatherings. “The Carpentier/Haadem Memorial Outdoor Dining Patio will provide a positive environment for outdoor dining and learning activities for years to come,” Hauck says.

NDSU Extension Notes
potatoes, and pumpkin pie. In some parts of North Dakota, there might even be some lefse and flatbread on the table for people to enjoy. Whether you have traditions or special recipes you use for Thanksgiving Day, there are some things that should be universal when it comes to any meal preparation, and that is food safety. To insure you and your family only come away with good memories and not food borne illness, follow these guidelines for turkey and all the trimmings: 1. Thaw your turkey properly. • NEVER thaw your turkey at room temperature. • Place frozen turkey in a large enough container and place on lowest shelf in the refrigerator. (see chart below for weights and times) • If you choose to thaw the turkey in the sink, the turkey must be completely submerged in COLD water (NEVER warm or hot), and the water must be changed every 30 minutes.
(Chart from: https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/faithcommunitiesalive/newsletters/fca-articles/ thaw-your-turkey-safely) 2. Cook your turkey (and dressing if stuffing the turkey) to a safe temperature. • Turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on a food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Make sure to not touch bone when checking the temperature.
(Chart from: https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/publications/foodnutrition/fight-bac-keep-food-safethis-holiday-season-lets-talk-turkey/fn1443.pdf) • Dressing that has been stuffed
into the bird also needs to reach 165 degrees F in the center in order to be safe to eat. 3. Cool your food quickly. • Refrigerate or freeze your food within 2 hours of cooking. • Cut meat off the bone. • Use shallow containers. 4. Eat or freeze leftovers within 4 days. • Place a whole “Thanksgiving Meal” in a freezer and oven-safe container to be thrown in the freezer to be cooked at a later date. *Find new and exciting recipes to help you use your leftovers up. 5. Avoid cross-contamination. • Be sure to use separate tools and surfaces for raw and cooked/ ready to eat foods. • Disinfect all surfaces before and after use with a kitchen safe cleaner. (1 Tablespoon bleach in 1 Gallon of water) If you follow safe food handling techniques, you will be able to enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday much more, and your leftovers will be safe to enjoy later. A good recipe to try with your turkey sandwiches: Cranberry Relish 1 bag (2 cups) raw cranberries (can be frozen) 1 orange, unpeeled, but seeded and sliced 1 apple, core removed 1 cup sugar Chop fruit alternately in a food processor. Add sugar. Freezes well.

You can also find other publications and many recipes on our website at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension/food. You can also call our office at 2562560 or email katie.d.henry@ndsu. edu. Whether you are making memories or trying to relive them, make sure to keep food safety in mind this Thanksgiving so that you can enjoy the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Cavalier County Republican
By Rita Maisel
Church History Every so often you see a name in the obituary column which opens the door to long ago stories. That happened late Monday when I noticed a headline about the death of a 104-year-old pastor’s wife. Thirty-five or 40 years ago I did some research on pastors and wives of long ago Evangelical United Brethren families who had served at the churches my family had attended. Most of that research came from family scrapbooks, of course. In the meantime, the EUB denomination had merged with the Methodists both nationally and in North Dakota. Then in the early 1990s the conferences of North and South Dakota merged which resulted in historians on both sides of the line knowing only the history in their own conference records. So along with others from both states I was recruited to help fill in some of the blanks. It would be fair to say that group became good friends, but not knowing each other’s history we often heard comments like “no one knows what happened to that family”. Quite often they had just taken a church in the neighboring state. The 104-year-old lady had been born in Excelsior, Minn., as Marian Anderson with six brothers and sisters who all predeceased her. The family might have moved into Minneapolis because she graduated from Central High School there and went on to Northwestern College.
Public Notice The college, still existing, opened in 1902 with the seven original enrollees having classes in a Baptist Church. By the time Marian attended (possibly 1930s) it was known as Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training College. Her mission assignment was to Bethany Orphanage in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. True, there could have been lots of different missions in the Appalachian Mountains, but I grew up knowing about Red Bird Mission at Beverly, Kentucky, which is still in operation and had begun as a mission of the Evangelical Association in the early 1920s. A few miles away was a mission known as Henderson Settlement begun around 1925 by the Methodist Church. There was no information on whether she worked with one of those groups or some other denomination. Northwestern Bible School sent out their students to teach Bible School in local churches in nine different states in the 1930s, and pastors in North and South Dakota were on their lists. During the day the children had classes. In the evening the pastors-in-training preached to the parents. The Evangelical Church tried the same procedure with students from North Central College and Seminary in Naperville, Illinois. My cousin, Sterling, training to be a pastor, attended both North Central and its Seminary during that era. As a result, in 1940 the Zion Bible School ten miles east of Langdon had a group of guest teachers and preachers either from the Elmer family or their classmates from Naperville. I was in either Ruth Elmer or Alma

Hanneld’s class and met both ladies several times over the years. It was exciting to realize the missionaries we raised funds for were people we actually knew! Several members of the Elmer family would go on to live and work at Red Bird Mission. In later years Rev. Ardell Aleson and his wife, Tess, did volunteer work at that site and returned to Langdon to tell about the mission’s story. Gretta Lawson (later Buller), an LHS classmate of mine, was also a nurse at Red Bird before her marriage. Now back to 104-year-old Marian who married a young pastor named Glen S. Gabel in 1944. Her obituary listed Langdon and Harvey Centre as the first churched they served, but there were no dates given so it took a trip to the clipping file to find “the rest of the story” and to fill readers in on Glen’s side of the story. Born in Canada in 1908, Glen Gabel was part of a large immigrant family who might have come from the Ukraine. His parents had settled at Sterling, Colorado, by 1910, and he grew up there and lived there until going to train for the ministry. There is a memory that my cousin, Sterling, also studying for the ministry, claimed to have known Glen “in school” although they listed attending schools in different states. By the 1940s both were pastors in North Dakota. Glen and Marian served in Baptist, Methodist and possibly other churches in South Dakota and at Stewartville, Minn., before coming to Langdon in the spring of 1949. While here he continued his studies to obtain the necessary credits for ordination which took place at
the 1952 annual conference in Fargo in May. While in our area he had also served the rural Harvey Center Church and for one year had served Clyde. Rev. Cannon, who had served at Hannah, had agreed to serve Clyde so the replacement for Rev. Gabel would be given Concrete as a third preaching point. When the Gabel family came to Langdon they had two small children: a son, Daniel, and a daughter, Lois. When they left in 1952 to serve at Hope and Finley, they had two sons and two daughters. The second daughter, Dolores Peters, was a foster daughter who they raised. The second son, Stephen, was born while they lived in Langdon. A third son, Wesley, was born at Hankinson when the couple were serving Lidgerwood, Wyndmere and Forman. Their last North Dakota parish was at Lisbon and Milnor where they were stationed from 1959 to 1962. In 1962 they moved back to a spot they had enjoyed early in their marriage: South Dakota. It appears they enjoyed Watertown where one son still lives. But first there was a long list of churches to work with in South Dakota. On a stormy day in the winter of 1971, Glen was driving a group to a conference on prayer when the roads were very bad. They got stuck. He jumped out to shovel and tried to push the car. A heart attack followed, he died, and was buried at Watertown. For the next seven years Marian served as a lay pastor at rural churches where her husband had served. Then, from her home in Watertown, she became a visitation minister for the Watertown church until partial re-
tirement in 1986. Moving to an apartment complex near her daughter in Minneapolis, she did lay speaking, taught Bible classes and prayer groups for several years moving after a few years to Rochester, MN, where she continued her personal ministry. Nearing 100 she moved to Indiana to be nearer her daughter, and this is where she spent the last years of her life. At the time the Gabel family lived in Langdon and served the Methodist Church, which stood where the United Telelphone parking lot is today, our family was active in another church so I knew Rev. Gabel by sight and that he was a friend of my cousin, Sterling. However, I have no memory of meeting Mrs. Gabel in person during the time they lived in Langdon. What came to mind when reading her obituary is a memory of the first time I visited in Sterling, Colorado, more than 60 years ago. At that time I was traveling with a group called Youth Mission to Youth. When our group were asked to give our names and where we were from, I told them Langdon. Several people came up after the program and asked me if I knew Glen Gabel! Reading his obituary from the clipping file today I found it listed him as one of 11 or 12 children, several of whom still lived in the Sterling area at the time. Some of my cousins who now live in Sterling, Colorado, have also met descendants of that original large Gabel family. Church ties can be very special, so researching this bit of local history was a good opportunity to remember long ago times.

November 5, 2020 On November 5, 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 and made available in the north meeting room to provide for social distancing. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by David Zeis; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and reviewed the KLJ list of current/future road projects. There was discussion about putting the County 13 gravel project on the federal aid project list for 2021. David Zeis stated two of the soft spots on County 13 had been dug out and put ground up pavement product from Langdon City in to see how they would hold up in the spring. If it works well, this would possibly be done to about five more soft spots. It was decided to bid the County 13 project in April 2021. There was discussion on adding the very end of County 24 by Munich to the FAS routes so it would be eligible for federal aid. Johnston stated it has to connect up with another FAS route in order to qualify and it would no longer be eligible for FEMA reimbursement if it is a FAS route. David Zeis made a motion to approve a 40% cost share for crossing in the new Cypress Creek #3 Drain in the amount of approximately $22,890.04, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to approve a culvert request from Cypress Township, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Johnston stated the Razor Tracking pucks had come for the snowplow trucks. It was decided the employees would install them. There was also discussion on meeting with the roadmen during the next commission meeting. With the current COVID cases, it was decided not to and the roadmen would need to do their mandatory Worker’s Comp training online. It was also decided that the next commission meeting would be in the north meeting room to allow more audience space for the annual tax sale. Greg Fetsch, Sheriff, met with the commissioners and stated they could appoint him as coroner and Shane Gallagher as deputy coroner. No training was required and the state medical examiner would assist them when filling out death certificates, if needed. David Zeis made a motion to ap-
point Greg Fetsch as coroner and Shane Gallagher as deputy coroner, motion carried. Fetsch discussed mask mandates with the commissioners. He discouraged making it a mandate, as it would put his staff at risk of exposure when enforcing it and there is a lack of space in jails already. David Zeis made a motion to transfer $355.00 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $6,529.51 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to transfer $652.95 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to transfer $61,000.00 from Special County Highway Fund to Road and Bridge Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. In light of audio problems being experienced while using Webex, Lisa Gellner, Auditor, suggested the commissioners begin a rotation for replacing their laptop computers, beginning with Austin Lafrenz’s as the incoming chairman. The commissioners were in agreement. Jill Denault, Northern Valley Human Service Zone Director, met with the commissioners via Webex regarding the Northern Valley Human Services Zone Plan. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the Zone Plan, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Denault requested a list and camera be installed at the back door of the office in Langdon. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the request, seconded Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. David Zeis suggested looking into the possibility of connecting the cameras to the Sheriff’s Department. The commissioners also gave approval for WIFI to be installed by NRG at the Langdon office, as well as a permanent drop box outside. Denault stated she would look into the drop box being paid for as a direct expense. Denault asked the commissioners their opinion on limiting access to the zone offices due to COVID. The commissioners stated they would leave it up to each department. The commissioners met with Steph Welsh, Public Health, as well as most department heads regarding the current increase in COVID cases and any changes that needed to be implemented. Welsh reiterated the importance of wearing masks in offices/businesses; only having one family/household in the offices at a time; staying home if you are sick; outside interactions being safer; using plastic barriers and making sure they are being cleaned; and opening windows if weather permits. The commissioners recommended offices offer outdoor/curbside meetings with the public, if requested; and strongly encouraged employees to wear masks when they have to be
around other employees/customers and especially when they are out of their offices; use work from home plans to rotate employees if possible. Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, stated he was in support of wearing masks and stated the commissioners definitely could require employees to wear masks. Commissioners also could issue a public mandate, but it would be difficult to enforce. Steph Welsh, Public Health, suggested the commissioners should consider supporting masking, rather than mandating it. David Zeis made a motion for Cavalier County Commissioners to support and encourage people to wear masks, social distance, and wash hands and put it into a resolution prepared by Scott Stewart and Steph Welsh. The motion did not receive a second. Greg Goodman made a motion to put an ad in the newspaper from the Cavalier County Commission thanking employees, healthcare systems, Public Health office, schools, churches, and businesses for their support on taking steps to flatten the curve and encourage the community to continue the following: staying home when sick; social distancing; washing hands; and follow other Public Health recommendations, seconded by Austin Lafrenz. David Zeis suggested adding wearing masks. Greg Goodman amended the above motion to include thanking law enforcement and citizens and striking the following: staying home when sick; social distancing; washing hands and leave it with “continue to following Public Health recommendations”, Austin Lafrenz seconded the amended motion. A roll call vote was taken with all voting in favor. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, asked the commissioners if they were in agreement to add the county logo to the list of supporters for a ND Mask Up sign to be used by businesses in the community. David Zeis made a motion to approve the Cavalier County logo being included on the sign, Nick Moser seconded the motion for discussion. A roll call vote was taken: David Zeis: yes; Stanley Dick: no; Austin Lafrenz: no; Greg Goodman: no; Nick Moser: no. Motion did not pass. Steph Welsh, Public Health, stated she was able to get UV lights to be used to sanitize entire rooms and stated they were available for use in the courthouse. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by David Zeis to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: DACOTAH PAPER CO., GENERAL_______________________ 363.59 BUSINESS ESSENTIALS, AUDITOR/ELECTIONS_________ 818.73 DS SOLUTIONS, INC., ELECTIONS___________________ 200.00 JOSH PLUMMER, GENERAL_____ _________________________ 810.00 COMPUTER EXPRESS, TREASURER_______________________ 804.99 BARCODES INC, RECORDER____

Munich’s blood drive brings in 27 volunteers Munich community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on November at Munich Ambulance Building which helped collect a total of 33 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 27 individuals volunteered to donate blood and 24 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on November 10. A total of nine donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. There was one donor who volunteered for the first time. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Kevin Dawley, who coordinated the drive, and Munich Ambulance Service which sponsored the blood drive, as well as others who assisted the day of the drive: Jim Hooge, Bruce Wirth, and Davin Hooge. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type,
are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases. Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donor rewards program. The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on: March 8, 2021 Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.

Cavalier County Republican
Commissioners discuss Governor’s order in special meeting
By Linda Timian Republican Writer
The Cavalier County Commissioners held a Special Meeting on November 18, 2020, at 3:00 p.m. to discuss Governor Burgum's November 13 Executive Order on COVID and a resolution passed by Dickey County commissioners opposing the Governor’s Order. The resolution was shared with the five Cavalier County commissioners prior to the special meeting so they could be prepared for the discussion. Chair Nick Moser read the resolution aloud and then asked each commissioner to comment, followed by Public Health and other community leaders present for the discussion. Commissioners Stanley Dick,
Greg Goodman, Austin Lafrenz, and Moser were in favor of sending a resolution to the governor’s desk opposing the order for various reasons. Commissioner David Zeis stated he did not support any resolution going against the governor’s order. Public Health Nurse Steph Welsh spoke in favor of the Governor’s order and said she wished it had come months ago. She said the governor gave a wide berth for a very long time and strongly urged the commissioners not to fight it. She agreed there are a lot of things we do well, and she appreciates the number of good things happening. As we enter into this holiday season, we have a real concern that cases will rise. Hospital capacity is

very low. She felt the governor’s order needs to have a chance, and it should be supported. North Dakota has not had an order like this yet and has paid for it. This needs to be done now. State’s Attorney Scott Stewart felt they needed to listen to Steph on this as she is very knowledgeable and recommended the commissioners not go forward with a resolution of opposition. Representatives from the local health care systems and school were also in favor of the governor’s order, telling the commissioners firsthand about their situations. Principal Ethen Askvig from LAHS said the governor’s order will give kids a good break from having to think about every action they take and how it might affect

their team. Director Brittanie Mostad from Osnabrock Community Living Center said rural health care is really not okay right now and something stronger needs to be done. Director Connie Hakanson from Maple Manor said North Dakota has not done as good of a job as it thinks it has. Every time there is an outbreak, the Care Center shuts down and that has a big impact on residents, the staff and their families. FNP Megan Overby from Cavalier County Memorial Hospital told the commissioners how strained the local health care system is right now. When recently faced with an emergency surgery, the closest facility they could get the patient into was Iowa. Karen Kempert from Emergency Management said that getting

a break for two cycles of contagion will mitigate the surge that’s coming from the holidays so we are better able to handle the patient load that may appear. In light of the issues brought forward by the local health systems, public health, and the school, Dick said he had changed his mind and made a motion to support the governor’s order. This was echoed by Goodman, Lafrenz, and Moser. The commissioners thanked all the participants for the honest discussion. Everyone involved thanked the health care system workers for their service in a situation hard to imagine. Goodman seconded the motion which was carried in a roll call vote: Zeis yes, Dick yes, Lafrenz yes, Goodman yes, Moser yes. 2018 chevy tahoe Lt
