National Purple Heart Hall of Honor

by Lois Schaefer, State Americanism Chairman Department of ND VFW Auxiliary The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor (NPHHH) located in New Windsor, NY, is a New York state owned and operated facility. It offers visitors an incredible journey through military history as well as reminders of human sacrifices and the cost of freedom. The facility is not directly affiliated with nor governed by the federal government, military, or any other organization. The mission of the NPHHH is to build the nation’s first comprehensive Roll of Honor database of Purple Heart recipients in all branches of service and for all conflicts for which the award was available, as well as to preserve and share the award recipients’ stories. At present, there is no comprehensive list of recipients. An individual’s awards and decorations are found in their personal military record. The Medal of Honor is the only award for which the government does maintain a list of recipients. Two recipients from Bottineau are enrolled in the Roll of Honor: William “Del” Alvord and my father, Everett Solper. You can view their profiles and those of other recipients at the NPHHH or on their website www.thepurpleheart.com. Del, while serving in the US Army

in Vietnam, was hit by shrapnel in addition to both of his eardrums being shattered. He was handing a 50 caliber round up to the sergeant in the turret of an armored personnel carrier when the turret got hit by a rocket propelled grenade-RPG. Although the General handed

out Purple Hearts at the Tokyo hospital while Del was there recovering; somehow, he got missed. Del didn’t receive his Purple Heart until 2005 when a friend helped him submit paperwork for it. In August of 2017, he was featured on KX News for National Purple Heart

Day. Everett served in the USMC in WWII and was wounded on Okinawa. As a Forward Observer, he was behind enemy lines directing mortar fire to destroy enemy emplacements, ammunition, etc. My father saw what he presumed was a Japanese soldier dressed in Marine clothing, as he knew he should be the only Marine behind enemy lines. As he laid down his automatic rifle (BAR) to take a closer look with his binoculars, he was shot by another Japanese soldier. Fortunately, he was able to kill both before they killed him. If you or someone you know, whether living or deceased, was awarded a Purple Heart, please take the time to get enrolled. There is no cost involved and no membership to join, just a little of your time. An estimated two million Purple Heart Medals have been awarded. The Roll of Honor database is comprised of 10-12% of the possible recipients who may have received the award since its creation in 1932. They NEED OUR HELP to collect and preserve this important and historic information. You can download the information and enrollment form at www.thepurpleheart.com or call 845-561-1765. If you need assistance, call me at 263-3136. Information and enrollment forms are also available at the Bottineau County Veterans Memorial Hall in Bottineau.

Reisers named Camp Hosts of the year for 2020 Chaput retires after 43 years amenities Icelandic has to offer. for the lack of Canadian campBy Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer

What has COVID done to affect you? For Jerry and Sue Reiser, it meant no celebration for being named 2020 State Park Camp Hosts of the Year. Getting this award accounts for all of North Dakota's state parks; camp hosts usually receive their award and are recognized with a ceremony supper in Bismarck - but not during COVID! This coming summer will be Jerry and Sue’s 21st year camping out as campground hosts at Icelandic State Park in Cavalier. They had camped there for years and were asked about being campground hosts, and they accepted. What the camp hosts do is be around to talk to campers, answer their questions they may have, and sell firewood and ice. They are considered the volunteers and helping hands to keep campers happy and have a great experience. Icelandic is a beautiful park that has had travelers as close as Langdon and as far as Florida come to enjoy the

Being campground hosts has its perks! Being a camp host, you have a designated spot to camp that is the “host spot.” Hosts get to stay free of charge and also receive a gift card for 7 free nights at any state park in North Dakota. Talking to

Sue, it was clear that the best part of being a host was meeting all the great people from near and far. With the border to Canada closed, Sue wasn’t sure how busy the park would be last year, but with Minnesota having more restrictions than North Dakota - there was a fair share of Minnesotans coming to enjoy the park to make up

ers. She mentioned she was especially excited for Kids Weekend (usually in August) this year since COVID restricted a lot of fun activities with the kids last summer. Icelandic State Park has over 4 miles of hiking trails, and for only $7/ vehicle to enter, it’s a very reasonable activity. It’s not only limited to hiking but camping for as little as $17-$25/ night. Or, if you don’t have a camper or don’t want to rough it in a tent, there are cabins available for $60/ night. While you stay, there’s open water for boating, fishing, swimming, and rentals of kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards. Really, the options are very accommodating. By the beach, there’s a snack bar and picnic tables as well. It is also close enough for a daytrip or a weekend camping trip that won’t break the bank. If planning a camping trip, you may see Jerry and Sue smiling and ready to help you out at Icelandic!

The Langdon Area School District’s annual school board election is being held Tuesday, June 8. Polls are open from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. at the Langdon Area High School. There are two positions open; both are for a three-year term. One seat is for Langdon city, and one seat is for rural at large. Also on the ballot this year is whether or not the school district should publish their minutes in the newspaper. Voters can vote in-person on June 8 or by mail-in ballots. If you are in need of a mail-in ballot, contact the business manager at the high school at 2565291. There are only two people running for the Langdon city spot, Tiffany Hetletved and Christina Crockett. Because no person submitted paperwork to run for the rural at large seat, voters can leave that area on their ballot blank or can writein a person. Here is a little highlight of the two that are running for the Langdon city seat: Tiffany Hetletved is running for re-election to the Langdon Area School Board. When asked why she is re-running she stated, “Because I’m

passionate about ensuring that every child receives a quality education in order to be successful. I believe education is the key to success, and investing in our youth is an investment in our community. I believe I am able to serve the district as an ethical, compassionate, accountable, and fair board member in order to meet the needs of the district. I am educated on the issues and understand the challenges that we face as a district. I enjoy learning about the new programs and opportunities for our students and advocating for each and every child in our district. I want to continue serving the district and see through what we have been working on as a school board.” She is married to Kyle, who is a lineman for Ottertail Power Company. They have three daughters: Madison, Marlee and Meggy. They have lived in Langdon for 20 years, and she has been employed as an Insurance Agent at Mostad Insurance Services for 10 years. Christina Crockett is also running for the Langdon Area School Board position. When asked why she decided to run for the school board position, this is what she had to say: “There are several different reasons that influenced my decision to

run for the school board. To me, education is invaluable, and the children of this community have the right to an education that will stimulate their growth and improve their future. Our school does a great job at providing a well-rounded education for our local children, but I still see room for improvement. If elected, I’d like to give teachers a bigger voice in decisions made at the school because they are the ones who are interacting with our children daily and have the most influence on their education. They can tell us what is and isn’t working. I’d also like to get families of schoolchildren more involved with the school in organizations such as the PTA. Organizations like the PTA give families a voice in their child’s education, and it promotes student success in school.” She is married to Benjamin Crockett, who is from Langdon where they currently reside. She grew up in Pennsylvania and attended Penn State University where she obtained her bachelor's in biology and a Master of Education in curriculum and instruction. She works at the Pembina County FSA office as a farm program technician.

Langdon Area School Board meeting held to find, but there is a possibility of utilizing a retired teacher for some part-time coverage as well as Mrs. Boesl like the school has in the past. In 2017, a motion was made and approved by the board regarding class sizes: 23 students would determine the class being looked at with 25 being the number for splitting the class into two sections. With the growing class sizes and limited teachers, this policy may not work next year. It was motioned and approved that any class sizes above 25 students would be studied by the curriculum committee, and they will determine what would work best. There was also mention of the teacher changes in the elementary school, and the middle school science curriculum recommendation will be brought to the board at the June meeting. There’s a new basketball coach for next season as Tanner Groth accepted the position. Contracts will be sent to fall sports coaches for next school year and at the next meeting will be up for approval. There was a motion to suspend the back to learning plan on June 1st, and the motion carried. The back to learning plan is for the COVID protocols (masks, social distancing, etc.). It was agreed that if there’s a covid outbreak, the school is always able to go back to the back to learning guidelines. About eighty computers/ laptops were lent out for online learning this year, and they will need to be returned so they can be updated and serviced. Students will be billed for damaged property. Mr. Askvig did say that a lot of students have been purchasing their own computers/ laptops as they saw the need for

By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon Area School Board met Monday, May 17, 2021. Superintendent Daren Christianson reported that transportation funding was going to go back to how it was in previous years. Mr. Christianson gave a legislature update focusing on deadlines put in place for teacher negotiations. COVID funding for education loss and air quality was discussed as the application processes are all over the board and a long process to receive these funds. Since most of the money is planned to be use for major construction projects, Mr. Christianson believes it should be fairly simple to request. So far, 20% of funds received is to go to learning loss or to make up in areas of learning due to COVID. Since Langdon was able to get online fairly quickly and did not have to close this school year, the learning loss has not been a major problem. The other 80% is projected to go towards building issues, but this is not set in stone yet- government guidelines are still being decided. It was also reported that summer meal plans will be offered through June and will be federally funded. Mr. Askvig reported that continuing to blend learning online and in class will be beneficial as many colleges offer online courses, and this will better prepare students for college. There’s still potential we will find another English teacher to split the classes, but as of now, we only have one high school English teacher. Teacher shortage in North Dakota is a major issue. The school also has no full-time counselor after this school term ends. Counselors are also hard

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Summer Food Safety The other day, I looked over at our mini-orchard in the window and realized that some of the plants will need to be repotted and put outside soon. They are either growing out of their current pot or are needing to be planted in the ground for summer growth. As I was inspecting them all, I came upon something that made my day: the green bean plant my son brought home from school has grown a bean! I don’t know how it could when it’s just planted in a little plastic cup, but it’s thriving, and I look forward to more fresh beans from the plant. So many other things have happened lately, as well, because of the new season. We ate fresh asparagus the other day thanks to a generous person. A friend of mine was asking how they could have more cold storage when they go camping this summer because their kids are starting to eat more, and she doesn’t want to run to a grocery store every day while camping for two weeks. Another friend was asking about grilling and food smoking tips because they have been doing more of that already. The temperatures are getting warmer, and picnics and lunches in the field are happening more and more often. I have been getting calls and people stopping in to ask questions about canning and food preservation, as the season is starting to pick up. All of these things led me to decide to give a quick reminder about food safety issues, as they can be useful to all. Important Food Safety and Preservation Tips to Remember:

• Keep foods safe. Foods need to stay out of the temperature danger zone (40-140 degrees F) to limit the growth of harmful bacteria. So, whether you are making a family meal or hosting a party such as graduation or anniversary, be sure to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Check the temperature of your foods often using a food thermometer, keep the slow cookers you are using to keep foods warm at the appropriate setting, and replenish the ice or cold pack for your cold foods frequently. • CLEAN, SEPARATE, COOK, AND CHILL. To make sure bacteria won’t grow, be sure to wash all fruits and vegetables before use, wash your hands properly before preparation and eating, and wash all utensils and cooking surfaces well. Keep ready to eat foods away from raw meat, seafood, and poultry to avoid cross contamination. Cook all foods to proper temperatures recommended by the Food and Drug Administration using a food thermometer to check. Refrigerate all cut or peeled fruits and vegetables as well as all cooked and prepared foods within 2 hours of preparation. • Use research-based recipes for canning. Not every recipe on the internet is safe to use for canning purposes. Not everything that has been passed down for generations is safe to use for canning purposes, even if “it’s always been fine before.” Use updated recipes and current techniques that are approved by research-based sources such as NDSU Extension, USDA, or Ball company. • Check your pressure canner seal for damage and pressure gauge for accuracy. Feel free to make an appointment with us here at the Extension office (256-2560) for both. Our

gauge tester is currently out of the office for calibration, but we will be getting it back soon. • Make sure to use proper canning methods. High acid foods (fruits and some salsas) can be hot water bath canned, but low acid foods (vegetables and meats) need to be pressure canned. This is for safety to prevent botulism poisoning, which can be deadly. Be sure to follow updated and current directions from researchbased sources. Pressure canning and hot water bath are the only two acceptable ways to can. Dishwasher and oven canning (and I have even heard of bathtub canning) are NOT safe. • Freezing is a great way to preserve foods as well. Freezing foods helps retain food and nutrient quality and is an option that is lower in sugar and salt. The only negative may be freezer space for storage. Use proper freezing techniques. All of these tips and so much more can be found on NDSU Extension’s website for food preservation https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation or Fight Back! Food Safety (FN582) file:///C:/Users/KATIED~1.HEN/AppData/Local/Temp/fn582.pdf. And, as always, you can stop in our office at the Cavalier County Courthouse for printed copies of these resources or any other NDSU Extension resources that you think would help you with food safety and food preservation. We would love to see you and help you with your questions/needs! You can also call our office at 256-2560 or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu for more information.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

Dateline North Dakota When you come into Minot from the south on U.S. Highway 83, you’ll see a billboard about Anita Knutson, a college student at Minot State University who was found dead in her apartment with numerous stab wounds. This is one of numerous homicides that have happened in the state and remain unsolved. • Knutson’s murder happened on June 4, 2007, and in the months following, there was intense police work and partnerships with the public at large in an attempt to pin down who might have done this. This case was far from abstract because the only clue was a dirty knife left in the kitchen sink, but police weren’t able to extract additional information from it. The strange part about this case is why would anyone kill a spirited and happy college student? And, the doors were locked, no windows were broken, and no other signs of a break in or a suspect were found. To this day, there still isn’t any new evidence. So break it down for yourself... whoever it was, they had a key to get into the apartment or they entered the apartment with Miss Knutson and were very careful to not disturb anything thus leaving clues. • When a murder occurs in a small town, it haunts that community for a long time. Such was the case with the disappearance of Norman Limesand in November 1999. He was on his way to his son’s house near Marion in LaMoure County and never arrived. Four days later, his vehicle was found in a Moorhead, Minn., park. Several witnesses claimed to have seen Limesand in a church in Waubay, S.D., in the interim, but that has never been confirmed. Nearly six years later, a neighbor, Steve Allen Thomas, confessed to killing Limesand with a rifle but didn’t tell authorities what he did with the body. This case took several turns including Thomas’ mother, Bonnie Rosland, who lied to police in order to give her son an alibi, leading the authorities on a wild goose chase until they discovered through phone records that Rosland was lying to police. Rosland and Thomas lived two-

and-a-half miles from Limesand’s home in 1999. Prior to Limesand’s disappearance, he and Thomas got into a heated argument about a water drainage problem. After Limesand vanished, authorities found his eyeglasses and traces of his blood at the approach to Rosland’s farm. Thomas turned himself in several days after a murder charge was filed against him. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter, admitted to killing Limesand, but maintained it was a hunting accident. Thomas then agreed to help authorities find Limesand’s body but said he couldn’t remember where he concealed the remains. Thomas was also reportedly put under hypnosis, but police weren’t able to get any clues. Thomas was sentenced in the LaMoure County Courthouse to 10 years in prison, which is the maximum for manslaughter. He was paroled in 2014. Rosland earlier pleaded guilty to perjury and spent five months in jail. The final twist is that Limesand’s body has not been found, and he was declared legally dead in 2002. He left behind a wife and eight children. • Jeanna North was an 11-year-old girl from Fargo who disappeared from her neighborhood on June 28, 1993. Her body has never been found. Jeanna’s neighbor, Kyle Kenneth Bell, confessed in January 1995 to molesting and murdering Jeanna. Bell stated he sexually assaulted Jeanna in his garage during the evening she vanished. She threatened to tell her parents about the incident, and Bell hit her. He claimed her death was accidental; he maintained that she slipped while wearing her rollerblades after he struck her and died as a result of her injuries. Bell said that he dumped the body in the Sheyenne River. A search of the area began in 1995 after his confession, but no evidence was located. Meanwhile, the continuing search of the Sheyenne River produced a piece of rope and a cinder block in 1996. The materials matched elements found inside Bell’s residence, and it is believed they may have been used in the disposal of Jeanna’s remains. Jeanna has never been recovered and searches for her body were discontinued due to financial constraints. Her mother died in 2009, age fifty-eight. Bell was sentenced to life in prison in 1999 after he was convicted of Jeanna’s murder.

Ouster of Liz Cheney: Historic implications for American democracy If Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) had been purged from the House GOP leadership simply because of policy differences on matters of domestic and international issues, few in the United States outside the ranks of party activists, reporters and political pundits would have paid much attention to the machinations. And, given the fact that this column does not traffic in politics, but is dedicated, rather, to the promotion of the Constitution — its origins, text, architecture, history, interpretation and application — it is virtually certain that no ink on the subject would have been spilled in this space. But the ouster of Rep. Cheney by her Republican colleagues, including former defenders and admirers, has grabbed headlines and dominated the airwaves for reasons that soar beyond GOP infighting and implicate the foundations of our constitutional democracy. Her removal has cast into sharp relief a question of transcendent importance for the future of our nation: Will America commit to the founders’ experiment of republican government anchored, as Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist No. 1, in reasoned discourse and deliberation fueled by facts and truths and evidence, or will it succumb to the deliberate distortion of events for the self-serving interests of candidates and parties that undermine the fundamental tenets of our democracy? The removal of Rep. Cheney from her position as the number three ranking Republican in the House was attributable to a single reason: she has firmly and consistently rejected former President Donald Trump’s false assertion that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him. As a consequence, Trump has contended, he, not Joe Biden, is the legitimate president and should be sitting in the Oval Office. Trump and his many GOP supporters have told — and sold — this tale across the country, despite the fact that there is simply no evidence to support the claim.

Legislation is crucial to the future of local journalism in North Dakota Here is how I often do it: I’m scrolling on Facebook, and I see a tidbit of news. Sometimes it’s a link to a trusted news site, sometimes it’s not a trusted news site. Sometimes it’s a meme, or a photo of something that looks like a headline. Before I share anything, I need to know it’s true. So I google it. What I’m looking for in my google search is a news source that I trust. And that’s almost always a newspaper. Google and Facebook rely on newspapers and news media in general. They have become the great middle men in the way that we consume news, from the hyper local fire on your rural block to the back and forth of national discord. The trouble is, they’ve been

Trump and his defenders in the House GOP who voted to oust Rep. Cheney from her leadership post have thus deliberately sought to undermine American confidence in the elections, a tactic which, when imitated, will destroy our democracy. Once deliberate falsehoods about the outcome of an election are peddled with success, and recognized as an effective tactic, there will be no turning back from its use by unscrupulous candidates for office at every level, in every state across the nation. Think of the implications of such a groundless assertion. Like the false assertion of an unlimited presidential emergency power, as Justice Robert H. Jackson said in the Steel Seizure Case, the claim of a rigged election has no end. At that point, American democracy, the rule of law, the peaceful transition of power, and the confidence in the outcome of free and fair elections — the fundamental pillars of our Constitution — will have vanished. That, dear readers, lays bare the existential threat posed by the false claims of a rigged and stolen election. That, it should be emphasized, lays bare the critical need, more than ever, to speak truth to power. From this standpoint, and from the perspective of this column, it is not Rep. Cheney’s politics or policy preferences that are of importance here. The question of this great moment is whether Americans will subscribe to the use of a political tactic that deplores the truth and facts and evidence, and pursues victory at all costs. Every resident of North Dakota, like every citizen of the United States, has a dog in this fight. “Facts,” John Adams declared, “are stubborn things.” The founding generation was steeped in Enlightenment principles that exalted facts, reason and science over superstition, demagoguery and magic. Accordingly, they erected a scheme of government that dared to place confidence in the ability of the people to govern themselves through elected representatives who swear a solemn oath to defend the Constitution and its pillars: the rule of law, free and fair elections, the peaceful transfer of power, and safeguards to protect the nation and the integrity of elections from insurgents, rebels and the use of force. The defense of our constitutional republic – and its most cherished principles – from those who would upend it through false statements, misrepresentations and calculated distortions, has required diligence,

syphoning off the advertising revenue that supports the local news they rely on. The snake eats its tail. These platforms have gotten bigger and bigger. By 2018, Google and Facebook had captured almost four times the revenue as the entire U.S. news media (including TV, print, and digital), and have grown exponentially since. They currently encompass 80% of digital ad spending and a whopping 45% all advertising spending in the country. While Google and Facebook are willing to pay to license things like music, they refuse to similarly pay for journalism content. The results have been devastating to newsrooms across the U.S. The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act aims to level the playing field, especially for local journalism. The federal legislation would allow news media to band together to negotiate with Facebook and Google collectively with a safe harbor from anti-trust laws. It’s especially difficult for small, independent publishers to negotiate with these big tech giants, and this legislation would ensure that the creators of journalism content – all of them – are at the table and on equal footing. This past year has been an incredibly difficult time for every industry and every family. Finding the truth in news you can trust, especially local news, has proven to be more important than ever before. Yet, even as the importance of local journalism has become more and more apparent, the

energy and passion since the dawn of the republic. It fell to the authors of the Federalist Papers – Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay – to repel the anti-federalists’ misrepresentations of the proposed Constitution, which they hoped to defeat during the great ratification debate in 1787-1788. Hamilton, for example, was at pains in Federalist Papers 69 and 75 to explain and defend the fact that the powers vested in the newlyminted presidency were sharply limited in number and scope and did not represent an embryonic monarchy, swollen with unlimited powers, as Patrick Henry tried to maintain in his effort to persuade Americans to reject the new constitutional system. Henry, given to hyperbole, was not above tactics of exaggeration and misrepresentation in trying to fool the citizenry into believing that the framers had erected an all-powerful federal government that would swallow up states, claims that Madison effectively rebutted. The point, here, is that governmental leaders were quick to defend our constitutional system by drawing on facts, truth and evidence in exposing misrepresentations. In the 1950s, Americans – governmental officials such as Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine and President Dwight D. Eisenhower and private citizens such as the renowned attorney, Joseph Welch – rose to the challenge of repudiating, and ultimately unmasking, Sen. Joe McCarthy’s (R-Wis.) lies about communist infiltration into the highest offices and agencies in the land. If McCarthy had succeeded in his effort to acquire vast power through resort to the Big Lie, our civil liberties would have been eclipsed and our democracy rendered unrecognizable. Our constitutional ship of state depends for its survival on men and women of good faith and integrity to take the helm. In times of urgency, there is always room for additional crew members. Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

weight of Big Tech on newsrooms has become stifling: more than 2,000 newspapers across the U.S. have shuttered since 2004. Australia recently forged a path when its news media negotiated a similar deal with Facebook. During the debate over that country’s legislation, Facebook removed news from Australians’ Facebook feeds. During that short news blackout, we saw what can happen when we lose access to real journalism and the truth: in just two days, Australian news feeds were quickly filled with fake news and misinformation. It was a glimpse of a future we must fight against. The legislation passed in Australia, and now the U.S. is on its way to help local newsrooms stand on equal footing with Big Tech giants to find reasonable compensation for their content. The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act is a crucial step to preserve local news in North Dakota and across the country. Facebook and Google have big-time lobbyists. We have you – our readers – who stand beside us as we work to find the truth about our cities, our counties, our school districts, and our state and nation. Please join us today as we ask Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer, and Rep. Kelly Armstrong to support the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act.

Mary Elizabeth (Mary Beth) Fetsch A Mass of Christian Burial was held May 19, 2021, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Mary Elizabeth (Mary Beth) Fetsch, 71, of Langdon, who passed away peacefully with her husband by her side on May 11, 2021, at her home. Inurnment was at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon. Mary Elizabeth Metzger was born February 25, 1950, in Langdon to Silverius and Madeline (Kartes) Metzger. She attended school in Minto Township, Border Central, and Fargo and graduated from Fargo North High School in 1968. She attended Lake Region Community College and received a secretarial degree. On September 25, 1971, she and Colin Fetsch were united in marriage at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon. Early in their marriage, and and Colin lived in Billings, Mont., during which she was a legal secretary for the US Attorney’s office. In the spring of 1975, they returned to North Dakota where they lived on a farm near Wales. They moved to Langdon in 1987 where she spent her remaining years. While residing in Langdon, she enjoyed working at the Stables restaurant and provided childcare. She enjoyed spending time with her husband, six children, and six grandchildren. She was a member of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church and served the church in several

ways through participation in various groups and committees. She was a devout Catholic and prayed the Holy Rosary daily. She enjoyed shopping with her daughters, baking the best brownies and scalloped pineapple, cooking, spending time outdoors, watching the Minnesota Twins, and attending her children and grandchildren’s activities. Her family held a special place in her heart, and she enjoyed sharing stories and pictures of her grandchildren with others. She was wellknown for her cheerful demeanor, friendliness, sense of humor, and wit. She was a blessing to all who were fortunate to know her and her beautiful smile. Surviving Mary are her husband, Colin, of Langdon; children: Clayton (Olivia) of McPherson, Kan., Sara (Tony) Jardine of St. Michael, Minn., Jon of Jamestown, Teresa (Chris) Kluth of Fessenden, James of Fargo, and Emily (Adam) Koenig of Park River; siblings: LuAnn (Jim) Schiele of Devils Lake, Steve (Jane) Metzger of Carrington, Linda (John) Benoit of Langdon, and Bonnie (Randy) Carignan of Walhalla, along with grandchildren: Owen and Dylan Fetsch, Tyler Jardine, Alayah and Lane Kluth, Harrison Koenig, and many in-laws, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

Mass of Christian Burial was held on May 21, 2021, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Mary Ann Bisenius, 91, of Langdon, who passed away May 13, 2021, surrounded by family at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Burial was at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon. Mary was born to Thorsten and Mathilda (Bode) Soli on Sept. 29, 1929, during a family trip to Shevlin, Minn. She was raised in Vang. She and Jack raised their four children on a farmstead east of Langdon. She was a homemaker until the kids were grown. When she and Jack moved to Langdon, she worked at Maple Manor Care Center in the kitchen and later in housekeeping. While she didn’t grow up in the kitchen, she became known for her baking after working alongside her late husband, Jack, at Papa’s Kitchen in the Langdon Curling Club for 20 years. Pies were her specialty; she would bake several each morning to please the lunch crowd and fulfilled private requests after she and Jack retired from Papa’s Kitchen. Her lefse also became a community favorite. She and Jack satisfied local Norwegians and nonNorwegians with their delicate flatbread throughout the holiday season for many years. During the summer months, she and Jack tended their garden and spent as much time as possible on the golf course. She loved golfing and would often walk the course. She loved teaching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren the sport and was delight-

From the Pastor’s Desk

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Sue Mackey of Langdon Presbyterian Church

When the day of Pentecost came, … they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1a, 4a) Most people have not experienced the Spirit’s presence as a rush of wind or tongues of flame. Rather, God’s Spirit is more like a gentle whisper that stirs us to imagine new possibilities, breaks us free from anxiety and fear, and nudges us to take risks for the sake of the Gospel. This is the story of the Spirit breathing new life and purpose into a stagnant community of faith. It was a church that had become preoccupied – not with the wrong things – but with things that, ultimately, did not matter to its witness. Some among them felt weary and worn; others felt like there was no hope for the church. But then, the Spirit empowered this community of faith to be Christ’s witnesses to the ends of the earth - or at least to the youth of northwest Montana. One day, a member named Tom went to the church board with a request: “I’d like us to prepare meals for Serious Ju Ju,” he said. “Serious what?” was their reply. Serious Ju Ju was a skateboard ministry and a refuge for youth with no place to go after school – kids whose parents did not check on them when they didn’t come home, kids who came from homes plagued by abuse. Serious Ju Ju was a place of love and hospitality for youth no one else seemed to want. Sadly, they were on the verge of closing their doors. They couldn’t afford meals for the kids; they couldn’t even afford the rent. So, Tom turned to the church, and this community of faith opened its doors to this community of skaters. The church hosted them once a month and let them use their parking lot to skate; they helped them secure a warehouse as a new gathering place. Every Friday night, the church prepared a meal and

sent the kids home with a bag of groceries to get them through the weekend. This community of faith became passionate about Serious Ju Ju. One church member quilted blankets for the kids who hopped from couch-to-couch because they didn’t have a stable home. Eighty-year-old women spent their Friday nights cheering on skaters. Through the church’s witness, kids whom no one seemed to want came to hear and believe the good news in a language they could understand – the language of home-cooked meals and handmade blankets, of open doors and genuine hospitality, of fellowship that crossed dividing lines and love that knew no bounds. The Holy Spirit swept over this church in a small Montana town – not in a rush of wind or tongues of flame –but through a simple request from a fellow disciple. That invitation freed that stagnant community of faith from preoccupation and hopelessness and inspired them to embrace its calling to be Christ’s witnesses to the ends of the earth. People came to believe that the promise of God was for them and found their lives transformed. The church found new life in its work and witness. Like on the day of Pentecost, people with no hope for the future glimpsed the Kingdom of God in their midst. The Holy Spirit is at work here, too, in every situation that leaves us feeling weary and worn or downright hopeless. Ever faithful to the church and to the world, the Spirit of God sweeps in to stir us to new possibilities, to free us from anxiety and fear, to nudge us to take risks for the sake of the Gospel, and to give us words to tell the story. Even here, even now, the Spirit whispers, sighs, and beckons.

The rumors have been going around with questions regarding the Cavalier Thrift Store. There has not been, nor will there be, any closure of the Thrift Store. We have been and will continue to remain open every week Thursday-Saturday 1:00-4:00. We are taking donations each of those days and hours as well. We do ask that donations come through the front door on Main Street rather than the back door. We have had a breakdown of our cement ramp in the back alley. Until further notice we will take donations through the front door for everyone’s safety. We have rolling carts at the front door for ease of transporting your items to the back. If you have not been to the Cavalier Thrift Store, you need to check this store out! We have an amazing variety of goods and wares. Our book selection is outstanding. Men’s and women’s clothing is tre-

mendous along with a great collection of clothing for children and babies. And shoes, can we talk shoes? Wow! The interesting point of the Cavalier Thrift Store is the fact that all the workers are volunteers. Except for our expenses - rent, electricity/heat/air, water, garbage - all of our dollars are donated back to the communities. We donate to area fire and rescue teams, food pantry, recreation depts., hospital, schools for meals, city park restorations and improvements, area nursing homes, and GF Mission. We also give out annually 12 $1,000 scholarships to the area schools. These scholarships are given to students going to a trade school or a fouryear school. The announcement of our senior scholarship winners will be announced soon. This all is done with the help of YOU. Your donations make this all possible. So, thank you, if you have donated your goods to our store. We have to say, since the pandemic and all the cleaning that has been done in this time frame, we have had some fantastic goods and wares brought into the store. Come and shop with us! Thurs-Sat 1:004:00 Main Street Cavalier, next door to Thompson’s Cafe and across the street from Terry’s True Value.

NDDOH adopts new masks guidelines from the CDC citing evidence of vaccine effectiveness in ND The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDOH) released the following statement regarding the new mask guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): “The CDC has announced that fully vaccinated individuals can resume activities without wearing a mask indoors and outdoors. Therefore, we, at the Department of Health, are aligning with the CDC recommendation,” said NDDOH State Health Officer, Dr. Nizar Wehbi. Studies have shown that vaccines are highly effective against symptomatic disease and hospitalization in the general adult populations. In North Dakota, 99.9% of those vaccinated are protected from COVID. Less than 0.13% of those fully vaccinated have contracted COVID-19. “Breakthrough cases will continue to be seen, but as we have learned from experience with historical vaccines such as polio and varicella (chickenpox), the spread is greatly diminished in communities as more people participate in vaccination efforts,” said NDDoH Chief

of Disease Control and Forensic Pathology Section, Kirby Kruger. “According to the CDC, vaccines for chickenpox are between 88%-98% effective. COVID-19 vaccines have very high level of effectiveness. This is encouraging news. North Dakotans are slowing and can stop the spread of COVID-19 by continued and expanded participation in vaccination efforts.” The decision not to recommend masks for those who have been vaccinated is based on the latest research, showing that the vaccines are working and are highly effective. The risk of being infected or spreading COVID-19 once fully vaccinated is very low, and therefore wearing a mask if you are fully vaccinated is no longer a recommendation. Individuals are considered fully vaccinated two (2) weeks after the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or two (2) weeks after a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. A recommendation remains that everyone wears masks when they are in a health care setting, when

they are traveling on public transportation, including airplanes, and when they are in a business or employer that chooses to require masks. Also, vaccinated people who have weakened immune systems should consult with their physician to determine the best course of action for them. “North Dakotans have come together throughout this pandemic to keep our communities safe, first through mitigation and now through vaccination,” said Wehbi. “More than 50% of adults in the state have already been vaccinated and this number continues to grow. We are grateful for all the hard work and sacrifices made to get us to this point.” Guidance for individuals and businesses is being updated on the NDDoH website to reflect these recommendations from the CDC. The NDDOH is working with regional local public health and medical providers to expand access to vaccines. Vaccine information and locations can be found online at www.health.nd.gov/together

Brush with the Bunch

Once again, the dust has settled and we can relax a little. We have started a new year of painting and getting some work done without the pressure of two art shows looming before us. They were both great shows with so much to look at and admire. I am sure our guests had a great time choosing one painting or photo as their favorite, One picture shown is the People‘s Choice winners for the 49th Brush Bunch art show, which was Laurel Brusseau for her painting of “Winter Ride in a Red Pickup.“ In the photography group, the winner was Leona Schneider for the photo of the “Brick Mine Bridge“ not the Vang bridge as I reported last week. Oh well, I got half of it right - it was a bridge. The other picture shown is of the People‘s Choice for the Golden Anniversary Show #50- Kevin Beauchamp holding his winning photo “Snowy Road“ and for fine art work is Sylvia Moore‘s oil painting titled “Downtown“ showing the north end of Olga on the west side of the street showing the old National Hotel built by Sylvia‘s great-great-grandfather. It had eight rooms for $1 a night and was next to the Moog Store and housed the post office for awhile. Finally, is the house where Sylvia grew up, originally known as the Plante house. As reported last week, it was one of our finer shows with twelve artists showing fifty-five pieces of art or photography; there was much to chose from in selecting People‘s Choice. We thank all who took part in selecting these winners. We must thank the American Legion for the use of the building and Bill Zeller for doing the floors - they looked great, Bill. We wish to welcome our newest member, Paula Holen, to the Brush Bunch. She brings an enthusiasm we hope rubs off on us all. From Random Thoughts: If you lend someone $20 and never see them again, it was probably worth it! Enjoy Life, and God Bless! by Leo Beauchamp

Romfo ROCKS six home runs in three games, as Cardinals close regular season at 23-1

Cavalier County Republican

Cards will host Region 4 Tourney starting May 24; Play first game at 6 p.m. By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals finished up their regular season schedule with four home games. They hosted on May 15 and beat Midkota 12-3 then 10-runned Minot Ryan 12-2. They beat Midway-Minto in their last Region 4 game for the year 17-1 on May 17 then defeated Hatton-Northwood 9-2 in a non-conference game on May 18. The Cardinals are now 23-1 on the season and a perfect 18-0 in varsity games with all of their starters playing. The last stretch of games has been an incredible one for Cards senior Simon Romfo, as he is on a superhuman tear offensively. In the team's last three games, Simon has gone 7 for 9 at the plate with six home runs (!!) and 13 RBIs. He is also the first player in the history of American Legion Field that has hit a home run over the scoreboard in right center field. On a sad note, Cardinals third baseman Jack Romfo was hit by a pitch just below his left eye against Hatton-Northwood. The good news is Jack does not need surgery for some fractured bones, but the bad news is he will miss the upcoming Region 4 High School Baseball Tournament to be held in Langdon May 24-26. It is just great to hear Jack is going to be okay, as it was a scary scene at the time when he got beaned. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will play an opening round game of the Region 4 Tourney May 24 at 6:00 p.m. You can find the tournament bracket in this week's paper. Here is a recap of the Cardinals last week of games: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 12, Midkota-GCC-DP-PB-Lakota 3 In their first game of a triangular with the Mustangs and Minot Ryan, it was a doubles bonanza for the Cardinals against Midkota. Langdon-Edmore-Munich hit seven twobaggers in the game: two each for Simon Romfo and Carter Tetrault and one apiece for Gage Goodman, Jack Romfo, and Mason Romfo. The Cards took a 6-1 lead after two innings and did not look back. Goodman and Grant Romfo led the team with three RBIs each, and the

On the mound, Jack Romfo pitched a solid five innings, striking out five batters in five innings. Markus Kingzett came on in the sixth and threw two innings of hitless relief. The Cardinals won the game despite committing four errors in the field. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 12, Minot Ryan 2 (5 Innings) In their second game of the day on May 15, the Cardinals met Minot Ryan, who drove up to Langdon from the Magic City to take part in a full day of baseball. After falling behind the Lions 2-0, Simon Romfo began his home run tear with a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning to put the Cards on the board. In the second inning, Brady Regner got into the home run act, hitting a long ball just inside the right field foul pole to tie the game at two. From there the Cardinals took advantage of five Minot Ryan errors in the field, scoring four runs in the third inning with hits by Cooper Zimmer and Jack Romfo, and later in the fifth, Markus Kingzett hit a

triple to right center field, which was followed by a home run by Carter Tetrault deep into left field. A second homer by Simon Romfo went way out of the park to end the game by the 10-run rule. Zimmer struck out three and allowed five hits in five innings to get the win on the hill for the Cards. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 17, Midway-Minto 1 (5 Innings) The Cardinals continued their winning ways hosting the Mustangs on May 17. This game would be a three-home run day for Simon Romfo with two of them in the first inning. The second bomb is the one that went over the scoreboard at American Legion Field. Simon hit a two-run shot, a grand slam, and a three-run homer in as many at bats to finish with nine runs batted in for the contest. Also in the 17-1 rout, Mason Romfo hit the first home run of his varsity career, Cooper Zimmer hit a triple, Grant Romfo had a double and three hits, and Dawson Hein and Carter Tetrault doubled with Tetrault also roping three hits. Markus Kingzett threw well on the mound for the Cards, striking out six batters and allowed one run on five hits in five innings pitched. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 9, Hatton-Northwood 2 A four-run second inning got things rolling for the Cardinals against the Thunder. Markus Kingzett had a sacrifice fly, and Carter Tetrault had a run scoring single to give the Cards the lead they would not give back. Langdon-Edmore-Munich would have another big inning with three runs in the fourth. Grant Romfo hit a sacrifice fly followed by a solo home run to deep right by Simon Romfo. Mason Romfo would have three hits to the lead the team in that category. Grant Romfo pitched the first four innings for the Cards, allowing two runs on a home run by Colton Konschak, and striking out eight batters. Simon Romfo came on in relief in the fifth and allowed one hit and struck out six in three innings pitched.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

And the rains came, sort of Let's start this week out by telling FINALLY some rain has come to our area. It's not as much as hoped for (Although some in extreme eastern Cavalier County got over an inch), yet anyway, but as they say moisture is moisture. More rain is expected throughout the weekend, which hopefully will cheer everyone up a bit. This had been the longest stretch of dry weather in recent and even long memory, so let's hope the crops get growing and good times are upon us. We have lots to tell you this week, so let's get started: Region 4 High School Baseball Tournament ready to at American Legion Field May 24-26 are the dates for the 2021 Region 4 High School Baseball Tournament. Langdon-EdmoreMunich went 8-0 in Region 4 games this season, so the Cards have the honor of hosting the tourney at American Legion Field. This is the first time this tournament will be held in Langdon since 2006 and part of 2007. In '06, the Cardinals won the title and ended up finishing second at the State B Tournament, which was also their last and only appearance in the the Big Dance. In '07, they hosted a portion of the tournament until torrential rains came on the championship day, which forced the tourney being moved to Grafton, where the Spoilers upset the Cardinals. Langdon-Edmore-Munich has had a great season with a record going into the postseason of 23-1. Simon Romfo of the Cardinals has now hit six home runs in his last six games, which is a big positive going into the tourney season, but the Cardinals will be without sophomore Jack Romfo, who was hit by a pitch in the teams last regular season game of the year, and will miss the regional tournament, but could possibly come back if they would advance to state. A full bracket for the tourney can be found in this

weeks paper. State Track Meet coming up in Bismarck May 28-29 The postseason spring sports continue on the last weekend of May, with the State A and B Track Meet, which will be held at the Bismarck Community Bowl May 2829. Last week in this space we told about Langdon-Edmore-Munich qualifiers, and we have one to add this week. Tucker Regner becomes the first Cardinal on the boys side to qualify for state, as he made it in the boys pole vault with a jump of 12' 6". The Cards hoped to qualify more athletes at the Northeast Region Tournament in Hillsboro on May 21. Four Cardinals girls golfers make All-Region 3 team The Region 3 Girls Golf Meet was held in Devils Lake on May 19. Langdon-Edmore-Munich took second to Grafton for the team title, shooting a team score of 407, compared to the Spoilers 375. Four Cardinals girls finished in the top 10 to make the All-Region 3 team in Gracie Christainson, Olivia Christinason, Arianna Haraseth and Halle Jabs. Those golfers and the team will now advance to State B Girls Golf Meet, which will be held at the Jamestown Country Club June 1-2. We will have results from boys regionals next week, as they were still playing in Grand Forks as this column was written. Olson makes the Optimists AllStar Volleyball team Let's leave this week by congratulating Langdon senior Lexi Olson on being named to the 2021 Optimists All-Star Volleyball team. Olson was named to the east team, which is comprised of both Class A and B players. Lexi was a 2-time All-Stater for the Lady Cards volleyball team, and is also qualified for the State Track Meet in three events this spring. The Optimists All-Star matches will be played at West Fargo High School on June 14, and Bismarck Century High School June 15. This is quite an honor, and we say congrats to Lexi and good luck! "See ya!" next week!

FARRMS make grants to help farmers replace high tunnel covers The Foundation for Agriculture, Rural Resources Management and Sustainability (FARRMS) offers financial assistance for high tunnel growers who have lost the plastic coverings on their high tunnels due to extreme weather. The ARCH grant (Assistance for Replacement of Coverings on High Tunnels) is a cost-share of 66% of the total cost, up to $500 for materials and supplies to replace the plastic covering on a high tunnel. The ARCH grant assists with costs for market producers who have lost to their high tunnel coverings due to weather from March 1, 2020, to June 1, 2021. This grant does not pay for structural damage or enhancements (end walls, supports structures, etc.), nor does it cover labor costs. FARRMS has disbursed nearly $4000 of the $5000 project fund in grants to ten farmers. We will accept applications until June 1, 2021. Those interested in applying should submit applications as soon as possible at www. farrms.org/arch. Many North Dakota growers use high tunnels to extend the growing season for specialty crops such as vegetables, small fruits, and

cut flowers. High tunnels are constructed with a frame covered by a polyethylene film and protect crops from wind, rain, and cool temperatures. Bitter cold temperatures in February 2021 caused the plastic coverings on many farmers’ high tunnels to become brittle and split. FARRMS Board President Britney Barnett said, “Farmers have shared photos in which the plastic looked shredded.” She added, “Farmers have weathered so many challenges in the last year. We wanted to offer support so they can start the 2021 growing season on the right foot.” FARRMS will also offer educational workshops for high tunnel producers later in 2021. Since 2000, FARRMS has supported sustainable agriculture and strengthened local food systems in North Dakota and the Red River Valley. We grow farmers and increase sustainable agriculture production through farmer-led education, peer support, and microlending. Our programs improve local food access, create a healthier environment, and build thriving communities. Learn more at www. farrms.org.

Producers need to be vigilant about preventing the spread of noxious weeds, North Dakota State University Extension specialists and researchers say. Due to extreme drought conditions across much of North Dakota, ranchers are purchasing hay and feed to supplement existing feed resources and delay grazing. “Transported hay and feed are one of the primary methods of dispersal and introduction for noxious weeds,” says Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock stewardship specialist and Extension disaster education coordinator. Here are some things to keep in mind when purchasing and feeding hay: • Purchase certified weed-free hay if possible. • Feed hay in an area where weeds can be managed easily, such as a dry lot or tame grassland. • Do not feed hay on rangeland where weeds are more difficult to control and herbicide may impact desirable plant species negatively. Common noxious weeds transported in hay include thistles, leafy spurge, absinth wormwood, knapweeds and houndstongue. Hay and other feed also can carry very aggressive weeds such as Palmer amaranth. Grain Screenings a Weed Carrier “Grain screenings are usually a price-competitive source of cattle feed, especially during a drought when forage supplies may be short, but they might contain things that you don’t want on your farm at any price, such as Palmer amaranth,” warns Karl Hoppe, Extension livestock systems specialist at the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center. Grain screenings consist of cracked or small pieces of grain plus foreign matter. The foreign matter can be other kinds of grain, sticks, leaves, insects, rodent feces, fungal bodies such as ergot and sclerotia, and weed seeds. Grain screenings can carry viable weed seeds that geminate in unusual locations. “Where the screenings are unloaded can lead to the start of a weed infestation,” Hoppe says. “These areas proliferate in feed yards that do not have fastidious weed control.”

Brian Jenks, weed scientist at the NDSU North Central Research Extension Center, says: “While Palmer amaranth looks like a pigweed, it is resistant to many of our commonly used herbicide modes of action, it is extremely prolific in its seed production and it can spread like wildfire. The best way to control Palmer amaranth is not having it enter your farm.” Palmer Amaranth Control NDSU Extension specialists have several tips on how to manage feed and manure that may be contaminated with Palmer amaranth seed: • Buy cleaned grain. However, purchased feed isn’t routinely tested for weed seeds. • Have screenings tested to determine the presence of Palmer amaranth prior to feeding. Feeding whole seeds may perpetuate the problem. Some seeds, especially tiny, hardshelled seeds from Palmer amaranth, can escape digestion by cattle. The Palmer amaranth seed is black and shiny but cannot be distinguished visually from other pigweed seed. The National Agricultural Genotyping Center in Fargo can conduct a DNA test to determine if the pigweed seed is Palmer amaranth. • Grind the screenings so fine that the seeds are destroyed. For a smallseeded plant such as Palmer amaranth, aggressive grain processing is needed, and hammer milling usually is the best option. • Compost manure to reduce seed viability. • If spreading fresh manure, keep records of where it is spread so the field can be monitored for weed infestation throughout the growing season. • Clean manure-spreading equipment before moving to a new field, especially if you are doing custom work for someone. Clean the spreader with an air hose for dry manure or a pressure washer for wet manure. Make sure to record where cleanout occurs so you can monitor that spot for weed growth during the growing season. • Spread weed seed-heavy manure on tame grass pastures or grass hayfields because more options are available for herbicide control on them. Never spread manure on native rangeland. Adding nutrients can

HOW MUCH TOPSOIL LOSS IS ENOUGH? Wind and water are the main causes of topsoil loss. However, recently tillage has been identified as an additional reason that not only removes topsoil from agricultural fields but it actually increase the intensity and rates of wind and water erosion (Figure 1). Loss of topsoil due to tillage can increase to severe levels if weather is windy, especially at high speeds and soils are dry. Tillage equipment breaks down soil aggregates into smaller, finer particles which then become airborne in wind and blow away.

Drought may facilitate spread of noxious weeds

benefit invasive grass species such as Kentucky bluegrass and smooth brome. Composting Manure an Option “Composting manure should destroy weed seed viability; however, management practices will determine success,” says Mary Keena, Extension livestock environmental management specialist at the NSDU Carrington Research Extension Center. “Making sure the moisture of the compost pile is maintained at 50% and the pile reaches temperatures of 140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the composting process is critical,” she says. A guide to the process and management of animal manure compost is available at https://tinyurl.com/ AnimalManureComposting. But if just one seed survives being eaten by cattle and escapes the heat in composting, then is spread onto a crop field, that one Palmer amaranth plant can make up to a million seeds in a year. “Even in direct competition with a crop, some plants can still produce up to 100,000 seeds in a year,” cautions Joe Ikley, NDSU Extension weed specialist. “Due to this extensive seed production, the ability of the weeds to germinate throughout the growing season, and widespread resistance to glyphosate and Group 2 herbicides, herbicide programs for control of severe infestations of waterhemp and Palmer amaranth often will cost two to three times the amount of money spent on a weed control program in fields without these two weeds.” He urges producers to be aware of the noxious weeds that may be present when purchasing hay and feed, and if necessary, to purchase hay and feed from another location. Producers also should consider possible liability issues of not controlling noxious weeds. For more information on identifying and controlling noxious weeds, contact your local Extension agent or visit NDSU Extension’s website at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/weeds.

NDSU Extension Notes

Figure 1. May 12, 2021. Tillage in operation causing a cloud of topsoil blowing away in Cavalier County, N.D. A recent use of tillage in fall and spring was to dry the soils faster in spring for early plating. However, not only was it dry in fall-2020 but so far in spring-2021 it has been very dry as well. Tilling soils this spring has resulted in evaporation of the little bit of moisture which was there, increased wicking up of groundwater that has deposited excess salts and sodium at or near soil surface and has produced clouds of precious topsoil blowing away. This airborne soil ends up in fields or areas where the wind velocity is lower compared to the original wind velocity that made the soil particles airborne. Some coarser particles drop into neighboring fields or ditches, however, the finer mineral and organic matter particles may go up to hundreds of miles away (Figure 2). Cihacek et al., (1992, 1993) reported an average of 150 parts per million or ppm (about 300 lbs. per acre) of nitrogen (N) in wind erosion sediments deposited at 34 sites in road ditches of the Red River Valley. Most of this N appeared to be from spring broadcast applications of N fertilizers. The fertilizer materials were abraded by wind movement of soil particles into particles that were carried along with the soil particles from the field. In some instances, pre-plant herbicides were also found in the sediments.

Figure 2. May 12, 2021. Finer particles of topsoil and organic matter blowing away during windy and dry weather in Cavalier County, N.D. When settled in ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, the soil sediments produce poor water quality for humans and livestock alike. In nutshell, topsoil should stay where it belongs! Long-term effects of tillage disturbance are especially evident on hilltops (Figure 3). Consistent dragging of topsoil from hilltops to the lower grounds devoid hilltops of organic matter resulting in poor stands and yields. This is called “tillage erosion”. The movement of soil is nearly always downhill due to speed of the tillage equipment and gravity. The movement of tillage equipment lifts the soil into the air while gravity pulls the soil particles downhill. The speed of the tillage equipment also provides a forward velocity to the soil particles moving the soil in the direction that the equipment is moving.

Retirement Open House for Jim Chaput Friday, May 28 • 2-3 p.m. Langdon Research Center After 43+ years at the Langdon Research Extension Center, Jim has decided to retire. Stop by and wish him a happy retirement.

If planting no-till was ever an option, it was 2021. Understandably, tillage cannot be eliminated overnight. There could be a need for some tillage for incorporating pre-plant herbicides required for controlling resistant weeds that have already germinated or to manage residual straw for a better seedbed if planters are not designed to handle it. However, producers need to seriously consider the loss of moisture and topsoil versus other objectives in a spring like this. Rock rolling on tilled, loose soil is another management decision, which can cause havoc when it comes to topsoil loss versus potential equipment damage in fall due to rocks. Rolling crushes the soil roughness and aggregates to a point that the wind velocity at the soil surface is not reduced. Thus, the energy imposed by the wind on the soil surface can lift and move soil particles more easily. A tilled, smooth soil is more likely to blow away compared to a tilled, rough soil. So the million dollar question is: how much topsoil we are losing per acre? Roughly, topsoil having thickness of a dime is five-tons per acre. Considering the erosion events that have happened this spring, some fields have lost several inches of topsoil. Since topsoil depths in our fields are seldom more than sixinches deep to begin with (a sorry shadow of the two to three feet present in 1880) a loss of any topsoil is serious. As per a general rule with the present topsoil depth on most fields of soil productivity by soil depth, if a field lost half of its topsoil, it will lose 35 percent of its relative productivity. One might consider it as losing 35 percent of the land value if land value is related to soil productivity. So what can producers do to minimize the loss of topsoil? • Avoid unnecessary tillage. If you think that you can do without another tillage pass or operation, do not do it. Everything helps! • If planting no-till or strip-till is an option, think seriously about it. • Once you are caught up with field work, consider planting shelterbelts. • If fall is dry, avoid any tillage in the fall. A lot of producers tilled dry fields in 2020-fall thinking that 2021-spring will be wet. They are forced to till now as ground is cloddy. • If weather stays dry in summer and fall, let volunteers grains grow after harvest. In some cases letting non-resistant weeds can also help as long as they do not go to seed. Roots of volunteer plants and crop stubble will hold the topsoil at its rightful place. In summary, reducing tillage, leaving a cover of crops or crop residues or strips of standing residue, leaving the soil surface rough after tillage (such as after chisel plow tillage), establishing and maintaining shelterbelts are all practices that reduce topsoil loss to wind erosion.

Dakota Gardener: Mixing up the lawn

By Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks County If you are thinking about doing something different with your lawn space, you are not alone. Lawn trends are moving toward environmentally conscious practices that balance green space with plant diversity for wildlife and pollinators. Renovating areas of your lawn might be an option for you if your yard has areas that receive very little foot traffic or areas where getting grass to grow is difficult because of poor soil or too much shade, or if you want to add more plant diversity. You have several different choices for mixing up your lawn, depending on your needs. Groundcover plants are lowgrowing plants that, once established in the landscape, can reduce landscape maintenance, and prevent soil erosion and weeds. Groundcovers can be woody plants such as creeping juniper or herbaceous perennials that spread via creeping roots. If you struggle to grow grass or other plants underneath the heavy shade of trees, use mulch. The mulch will prevent weed growth, conserve water and prevent your lawn mower and trimmer from getting too close to the trees. Use garden beds or borders to increase plant diversity. Native gardens, pollinator gardens or edible landscapes can be created to benefit you and the environment. Start small and use mulch to help control weeds and conserve moisture. Time spent maintaining gardens will be

similar to the time spent maintaining your lawn. For large areas of land, a meadow can be created in areas that receive at least six hours of sunlight a day. Meadows are mostly native grasses with some flowering native perennial plants. However, meadows can be expensive and time consuming to establish. Incorporating grasses that require less mowing and care into the existing turf is an option. For sunny areas that are not watered or fertilized and mowed not more than once a week, consider using a mix of half common type Kentucky bluegrass and half fine fescue. In partially shady areas, the mix would be 80% to 100% fescue, with the remainder being Kentucky bluegrass. Fine fescues can be mowed

I am slowly starting to incorporate some of these options into my own lawn. I use mulch under my trees, and I am establishing pollinator gardens.

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings

Cavalier County Republican

May 4, 2021 On May 4, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there was limited audience capacity in the courthouse meeting rooms. Webex was utilized for those wanting to attend the meeting virtually. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Stanley Dick made a change to the minutes to add 2% “COLA” to the discussion on increases for 2022. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the minutes with that change included, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. It was decided to change the first meeting in October to Thursday, October 7th, due to the NDACo conference. There was discussion on legislative funding approvals, as well as future votes required for the county road levies. Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, met with the commissioners and suggested they may want to consider meeting with him in executive session later in the meeting. Greg Goodman made a motion to put executive session on the agenda at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the legalities of the County 13 road project contract, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Greg Goodman reviewed documents he had received from Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, on the ownership of dams in the county. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners and discussed

the KLJ design engineering contract for the County 6 overlay project. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the contract, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. There was lengthy discussion regarding other options the county had for the County 13 gravel project. Chris Mikkelsen joined in the discussion with options for various classes of gravel and PI requirements. Johnston presented a culvert request in Moscow Township for replacement of a 60”X 48’ culvert between Sections 9 and 10. Current culvert is rusted it. Johnston is checking if this is an assessed drain. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the culvert request, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. There was a request to replace an 18” X 50’ culvert in County Rd 45 between Sections 8 and 9 of Montrose Township. Current culvert is in poor condition and full of dirt. Nick Moser made a motion to replace the culvert, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. The commissioners reviewed pictures of a bridge between Sections 21 and 28 in Montrose Township which is in poor condition. It was decided to post a low load limit until a decision is made on what to do with the bridge. Johnston reviewed updates to the Culvert & Bridge Policy with the commissioners, addressing qualifications for areas of cities that are platted vs. not platted. It was decided to put it on the agenda for next meeting for approval. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, met with the commissioners and asked them to consider using some of the federal COVID funding to assist the rural fire departments with purchasing mobile radios, if it is an allowable use when the guidelines come out for the funding. Kempert also suggested using some of the

funding for an electronic sign on the south side of the courthouse, which would be used for public safety and awareness on many levels, including public notice requirements to qualify for grant opportunities in Public Health. The commissioners stated they will review the ideas brought forward once the guidance comes out on allowable use of the federal COVID funds. Kempert also reviewed a proposed amendment to the Emergency Declaration related to the COVID pandemic. Steph Welsh, Public Health Nurse, also joined the meeting via phone conference to discuss the need to continue the Emergency Declaration while the vaccination process continues. Welsh stressed the importance of continuing mitigation to prevent the spread of COVID, and the virus variants of the disease, until all ages can be vaccinated. There was also discussion on keeping the declaration in place for pandemic funding purposes. Welsh suggested reviewing the Emergency Declaration in 2 or 3 months and see where we are at with the recovery process. After much discussion, David Zeis made a motion to amend the Emergency Declaration, seconded by Nick Moser. A roll call vote was taken: Nick Moser-yes; Greg Goodman-no; Stanley Dick-no; David Zeis-yes; Austin Lafrenz-yes. Motion carried 3 to 2. At 10:45 a.m. David Zeis made a motion to recess the regular meeting and go into executive session per NDCC 4404-19.1, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

Graduation 2021, Part 2 There is a sense in which this is a continuation of previous graduation columns since six of the seven Munich graduates have had older brothers and sisters, and in some cases parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, graduating from Munich, Clyde, Hannah, and other area high schools. The one exception to that is Lauren Baril, also the only girl in the class, who I am told has Zimmer connections. Unfortunately, the Munich book was printed before the students in this class were born. Dawson Biby’s family came to Huron township in 1910 (5 generations back). Some of the family graduated from Clyde, others from Hannah, and more recently, parents from Munich and Edmore. At least one branch of his family also came to Langdon for high school. Because Dawson’s grandmother and Caleb Woodrow’s grandfather were brother and sister, they share relatives. Just to make the history a bit more confusing, a pretty lady named Della Johnston entered the picture. Della graduated from Perth High School in 1935. Della’s first husband was Harold Brown, who farmed near Hannah, and while both are now deceased, they would have been great-grandparents to Jagger Worley. Della later married Chester Woodrow and was happy to claim his great-grandchildren (including Jagger and his sisters) as grandchildren as well. If any of the names mentioned sound like they might have played basketball on a variety of local teams, your suspicions might be correct. Isak Dease and Drew McArthur have Clyde roots. If Isak is a younger brother of a young lady who graduated a few years ago, the Dease and Goertzen grandparents graduated at Clyde just before that school closed. Piecing together records from the old Salem Evangelical Cemetery east of Clyde, Drew Alexander McArthur goes back five generations to the grandfather he is named for as well as pioneer Stein relatives who came to the Clyde area possibly in the late 1890s (before the

town was there), as well as Hall and Tholkes great-grandparents. When an older sister graduated, there was a note that she was the only graduate that year with all four generations graduating from Munich High School. There were also Zimmer’s in that same class who appear to be ancestors as well of Cooper Zimmer in the 2021 class. If you found the Langdon class confusing, I apologize for not listing all the ancestral lines. Sometimes they are not available so will try at least to list some of the arrival dates in our part of the world and, where available, the country where they originated. Will Blake is possibly the sixth generation down from Percy and Leafa Blake who came to Cavalier County in 1906 and families have been farming near Wales ever since. Leafa made a tape of her pioneer experiences for the State Historical Society in the 1960s which tells about their life in a bygone era. Greatgrandmother Edi Pederson Gellner was a proud graduate of LHS in the late 1930s. Some of her grandchildren graduated from St. Alphonsus and others from Langdon High School. Gracie Christianson is probably a second or third generation graduate at Langdon since there have been Christiansons graduating here for the last 90 years as well as at Walhalla and Osnabrock. There is just not enough information in centennial books to tie her into listed families. On the other hand, she is remembered for sports participation and piano recitals. Sydney Crockett has both Langdon and Manitoba relatives, and we do know that Della Crockett, now 98, claims her as a great-granddaughter. Sydney’s passion is music, and she plays the piano, the violin and probably other instruments and is going on to a musical career. Yes, she also sings and has participated in state choir contests. Taylor Domres had a sister graduating last year so am quite sure she is the great-granddaughter of Bernice Schmidt Domres who now resides in Langdon. Bernice was an early graduate of the “new” Wales High School which replaced an earlier building in the 1930s. There have been Domres graduates at Langdon since the 1920s, and the family settled on farmland near

Cavalier County Republican

Langdon Long Ago

Dresden around 1900. Daniel Hart gets both his first and last name from a great-greatgrandfather who came to Cavalier County shortly after North Dakota was granted statehood, married, and raised the family here with most of the Hart family graduating at Langdon where three of his four grandparents had long teaching careers. His first name also happens to be the name of an uncle on the Haugen side of the family. Megan Hiller is the fourth generation down from her great-grandmother Edna Zettel Berger who graduated from St. Alphonsus in the 1930s. Edna was a grandchild or great-grandchild of both the first Zettel family in Cavalier County and Peter and Mary Kartes who gave land for the Mt. Carmel church and cemetery. I believe some of this family came in 1888 and others at an earlier date. The Berger side was also here before 1900 and the Hiller side from rural Walhalla. Kiarra Hodek has ties on her mom’s side to the Benoit/Schill branch of the family and going back further on another line to the Cleary/Dunnigan Irish settlers who all came from Ireland and Ontario in the early days. The Benoit side was from Quebec. Several of her family graduated from St. Alphonsus where Kiarra was a student for her elementary years. Raelyn Klindt shares her ancestry with several other classmates who have Delvo and Lorenz relatives but has two lines with roots in Walhalla—where Tetrault and Klindt relatives would have gone to high school. From earlier family members graduation stori,es I remember there were connections on the French side to the fur trade and early French-Canadian farmers. Like Kiarra, she spent her elementary years at St. Alphonsus. Jaden Rademacher’s first Charbonneau ancestors came by train from the province of Quebec along with Father St. Pierre and other French-Canadian settlers in 1882. The long version of this story is in the Olga book. Another line of his family is the Flom side with some members of that family serving in the Civil War before they came to settle south of Milton where a number of ancestors are buried. Readers will remember his great-grandparents, Hank and Nadine (Flom)

Charbonneau, who had businesses in Langdon for many years. Hank and his brother graduated from St. Alphonsus, and Nadine went to school in the Osnabrock/Milton area. Grandparents met when they attended Langdon High School. Tucker Regner’s ancestry in the county is a bit like a branch of the United Nations. Six generations back were the Jacob Lorenz family mentioned in another recent column. Mrs. Lorenz had been a Delvo, and some records list her father as also coming here, and others list the first Delvo as a brother. While the Lorenz family brought eight sons to America, a sister stayed near Kalush and married Joseph Regner. It is understood that generation died in Austria/Galicia/ Poland, but a son, age 13, came to America and worked for Delvo and Lorenz families around Osnabrock and Easby. That boy was Bill Regner who, along with his first wife, Eva Lucy from Hay Township, were Tucker’s great-grandparents. Eva’s parents were John Lucy and Mary Grady, an Irish family who came to the area in the early 1900s. Over the years the Regner grandfather married into the Lykken family which also has been in this area for six or more generations with family members graduating at Milton and other area schools. On his mother’s side, Tucker has Kram and Stremich immigrants who came to the area in pre-World War I days. The story of this family in detail was written about 30 years ago by LeeAnn Miller and is still a very interesting reading. Brooklyn Wenzel is the 27th member of the Wenzel family to graduate from Langdon High School. Her heritage is Irish on the Cleary/Dunnigan side, English on the Jennings and Hope side (which she might not know she has), and German on the Wenzel/Kaercher, probably French on the LaFrenz side and maybe Scotch on the McDonald side. I believe the Ullyott side was English and Irish who came to North Dakota from Ontario. When doing this story last year for three of the Ullyott graduates, we found Verna Welsh Ullyott as an early graduate of the Devils Lake School for the Deaf and that notable lady would be great-grandmother to Brooklyn as well as to Jack Gellner, who is graduating this year from Northern Cass. But what about the names from Langdon that I skipped? Some are from families who are new to the area, so their history is unknown. Others may be second or even

third generation in our area but not knowing the names of the parents or grandparents, it is hard to know their history. Each one is important, and if trivia is known, I will try to list that as well. In the meantime, please accept my apologies for omitting any special information. Those with missing stories are Danny Carmain, Liberty Cleveland - who may not have missed the honor roll since they came to our area and has a lovely voice for singing, Alex Cluchie - who plays on several Langdon teams, Sean Dudley, Roger Economy - also on sports teams, Natalie Eversvik who might have Starkweather relatives, Dustin Gilseth - who most Langdon residents know because he is often in programs and has an outgoing personality, Payton Henderson - who might have Calvin roots and just might be a cousin of Will Blake, and Caleb Hetler known for his red hair. I spent a lot of time trying to find a link for Caleb in the Hetler family who moved from Langdon to Minnesota after World War II or the Hettler family from Germany who moved to Saskatchewan around the time of World War I, or even the Hettwer family from Munich/Calio. Then a lady whose name I had not known told me he was her son! They have been in Langdon a few years but not long enough to bypass parents and grandparents when doing research. Kaylee Lowery is a secondgeneration Langdon graduate, and Nicholas Marquez is a first-generation graduate. Shantell Martinson may have family at Munich or Edmore or may not. Holly Marynik is likely new to the area, and Chandler Moline may have family from Milton. Daniel Nadeau may be related to students I have taught at other schools, and Curtis Parsons is probably not related to the Parsons family who came to Langdon with the railroad and are buried at Lebanon Cemetery. Another of the betterknown first-generation graduates is Drew Simpson, who plays on some of the sports teams and works at the grocery store so even if you did not know his name you might know him. Yes, I do know grandparents will let me know if I made mistakes. The graduates each year are a great group and fun to write about. If you are new, we do have some traditional reminders that the prepandemic story always included: Best Wishes! Congratulations! Drive Safely! Study Hard! Come Home Often! And, of course, Stay Well! Wash Your Hands! If consulted, moms would add We Love You!
