housing needs,” adds Paulson. LCD Group added professional property management services to its portfolio back in December. The addition of this new service meets a growing demand for servicing properties that primarily serve low-tomoderate income North Dakota families and individuals. In the case of Park Village of Langdon, it also fills the void left by LSS Housing. LCD Group Executive Director Brent Ekstrom says property management fits seamlessly within the organization’s mission of ‘providing opportunities to develop North Dakota’s economy and communities through flexible financing and support for businesses and affordable housing.’ Affordable housing is a primary area of focus for LCD Group, which is the state’s only network member of NeighborWorks America®. NWA is congressionally charted and dedicated to creating opportunities for people to live in affordable housing, improve their lives, and strengthen their communities. “Providing property management services allows us to fill a gap and meet the needs of three specific groups,” adds Ekstrom. “We are serving the owners by protecting their investment.

Park Village of Langdon now under new management Park Village of Langdon is now under new management. Mandan-based Lewis & Clark Development Group (LCD Group) recently took over management of the 32-unit property. “Lewis and Clark Development Group is excited to become part of the Langdon community. Park Village is a model property in many ways. Its location, beautiful yard, and amenities makes it ideal for families and individuals of all ages,” says Paulette Paulson, LCD Group multi-family housing director. Located at 1724 6th Street, the 32-unit property is near a local park and the city’s schools. Each apartment features twobedrooms with all utilities included in the rent except for phone, cable, and Internet. There is one garage unit for each apartment with additional parking available. Units are currently available. According to Paulson, rent is based on income, and LCD Group staff will work with prospective tenants to determine rates and assist with arrangements. Paulson encourages those interested to contact Jamie Minnerup at (701) 3812852. “Many rural communities are struggling with housing. Langdon is fortunate to have Park Village to meet local and regional

needs of the tenants by offering experienced and compassionate management. And, we are helping communities maintain and provide affordable housing for current and prospective residents, which in turns supports a community’s economy. Everything we’re doing is to help families and communities.” Ekstrom said LCD Group anticipated having at least 500 units in their portfolio by midyear. As of May 25, LCD Group has 420 units across North Dakota. “We are on track to easily surpass our goal,” says Ekstrom. “We will continue to bring properties, like Park Village, on board in a way consistent with our business plan and in keeping with our mission to develop communities and support affordable housing.” About Lewis & Clark Development Group: LCD Group provides programs and loans to support businesses, local governments, and individuals in expanding affordable housing opportunities and advancing economic and community development across North Dakota. The organization was founded in 1969 and, over the last 52 years, has made an impact of over $600 million on North Dakota communities.

Two new dispatchers at Sheriff's department By Jared Entzi Republican Writer The Langdon Sheriff’s Department recently hired two new employees. Lorraine Gage’s first day of employment was March 24, 2021. Gage has been in the emergency or health field for quite some time, including being a CNA for the Cava-
lier County Memorial Hospital (1986-present), Langdon Ambulance Squad as an EMT (1986-present), Cavalier County Search and Rescue Squad (1991-present and was one of the founders involved in starting the organization), Altru/ Yorhom Medical Essentials
(1995-present), and Langdon Fire Department (2017-present). Now, adding to her resume, she is employed at the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Office as a 911 dispatcher and corrections officer. Lorraine is looking forward, with much dedication, to helping others to the best of her ability. Her previous experiences have greatly influenced her success
with many excellent teachers and instructors. She has a tremendous amount of things on her plate but loves what she does. “I am proud to serve my community,” Gage said. Julia Shirek’s first day of

The Langdon City Commission held their biweekly meeting May 24, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. Department reports started with the street department. They’ve started mowing and continue to fill potholes around town. The fire department is going to get a quote to replace concrete outside of the fire department bays. The Activity Center floor project is to start June 1st, and it was reported that Samson Electric replaced some lights with LED bulbs that are more efficient. Danielle Lindseth is starting classes in Bismarck for training for the police department. The auditor's report is still waiting for input before presenting so it is accurate. RoxAnne Hoffarth (city auditor) asked the board's thoughts on an individual in town that would like to grill food for sale in town similar to a food truck but without the truck. In order to do this, they would need to pay a $25/day peddlers fee for the days in operation and obtain state licensing to serve food to the public. The board thought it was a good idea just as long as the area used is cleaned up and state requirements are in order.

asphalt work. With a full commission present, the board took another vote on whether more than local businesses can be included in the housing incentive. Those businesses had not been considered local but are on our local Chamber of Commerce that work with, what they consider, local businesses. All in all, the board is who approves or denies individuals filing for the housing incentive on a case-tocase basis. If materials are delivered to Langdon, those tax dollars come to Langdon and can be verified by a call to the state. This brought the question, can the big stores that deliver be accepted which would take away from the area businesses all together? It was agreed to change the “local businesses” in the incentive to state “Langdon Area businesses”. This came to a motion and was approved. The first reading on multiple commercial accounts was scheduled for this meeting and proceeded. With how some of the verbiage is to be changed the board tabled the first reading for the revisions to be made. The next first reading will be June 14th at 6:00 p.m. The public is welcome to speak their thought on these ordinances at that time, and there will be a second reading at the following meeting after that as well. Some of the requirements
for business/property owners would be informing the city of tenants using services or they will be charged a $100/month fee. Each unit or renter will have a city bill sent to the property owner that will be responsible for these accounts. Previous late fees will be removed from bills dealing with commercial accounts as it was still in the works of being figured out. The Evangelical Church in Langdon came to talk about this year’s 4th of July fireworks show. With the little rain we’ve had this year, they just wanted to come with concerns of not wanting to completely cancel if there’s a burn ban at the time. Instead of canceling, they would like to move it to a later date so fireworks don’t get wasted. The board was understanding and agreed that moving it would be just fine. It was suggested to have the advertisement out there so the community can partake and not be confused when it will be held. The scheduled date for the fireworks show is July 3rd at this time. Every year the board has to vote on the Cavalier County Republican being their newspaper to share minutes and that was approved. The next City Commission meeting is scheduled for June 14th at 6:00 p.m.

CBP officers seize over $6 Million of marijuana at Portal Port and over $645,000 in Canadian currency in North Dakota U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations officers at the Portal Port of Entry targeted a commercial shipment that had arrived in Portal on Thursday. CBP officers inspected the shipment manifested as plastic containers to discover 3,765 pounds of marijuana within the shipment. “Customs and Border Protection has a multi-layer enforcement posture, with excellent work performed by officers to identify, refer and inspect this shipment,” said Portal Port Director James Rector. “This interdiction keeps narcotics from entering the United States and reinforces the important border security mission CBP officers have in keeping our country and communities safe. The teamwork involved in this seizure was outstanding.” Homeland Security Investigations and Burke County Sheriff’s Department were contacted and responded to assist. The marijuana has an estimated value of more than
$6 million. CBP has the primary mission of preventing terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the United States. CBP also works to prevent narcotics from entering the United States. For more information about the work of CBP, please visit www. cbp.gov. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations officers at the Portal Port of Entry seized $645,245 in Canadian currency Thursday. CBP officers working passenger operations at the Portal Port inspected a passenger vehicle entering the port of entry. Inspection of the vehicle led to the discovery of $645,245 in unreported Canadian currency. CBP seized the currency. “CBP conducts enforcement operations to protect against unreported importations of bulk U.S. currency, which often can be proceeds from alleged illicit activity, or currency that funds transnational
criminal organizations,” said Portal Port Director James Rector. Individuals are permitted to carry any amount of currency or monetary instruments into or out of the U.S., however, if the quantity is more than $10,000, they will need to report it to CBP. “Money” means monetary instruments and includes U.S. or foreign coins currently in circulation, currency, travelers’ checks in any form, money orders, and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form. Failure to report may result in seizure of the currency and/or arrest. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

On Wednesday May 19, Langdon Area School Student Council hosted Hunter Pinke, a UND graduate and former Fighting Hawks football player. Hunter, a Wishek, ND, native, spoke to students recounting his catastrophic skiing accident that happened in December 2019 while in Colorado with a group of friends. As he was skiing, he had to swerve to avoid hitting another skier and ended up slamming into a tree head first. He knew immediately that he was severely injured. As he was waiting to be rescued, his first instinct was to pray. Hunter credits his prayers, perseverance, and dedicated work at a rehabilitation hospital with helping him to learn new skills to deal with being paralyzed from mid-chest down. He also received essential support from family, friends, and health care workers. The capacity to face adversity with determination came from a foundation of hard work laid by his parents, coaches, and himself as he worked to become a sought-after athlete in high school and later college. Hunter’s message focused on lifting others up and realizing that even when faced with unexpected misfortune, there are many things for which to be grateful. Hunter Pinke plans to continue his education at the University of Arizona where he will also participate in their Adaptive Athletics Program with hopes of competing in the Paralympic in the future.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Making small town connections Years before I got married, I had this quirky habit of showing up in small towns and just mingling with people. I’m not sure one could do that these days, but back in the ‘80s, it was a lot of fun, and I met a lot of good people. • One of the best examples I can provide is one day I driving through southern Manitoba on a hot day and decided to stop at a tavern in Killarney and have a cold, afternoon beer. There was a lady tending bar who was probably 40ish. When I walked into this place, I was wearing an Edgeley Centennial T-shirt, and granted, this was actually before the Edgeley Centennial happened in 1987. She made some small talk and asked me if I was from Edgeley, and I told her I once lived there, but at the time I was going to college. She told me she knew Edgeley pretty well, and I’m sure she got the surprise look she was hoping for. I asked why, as Killarney and Edgeley are quite a distance apart? “Oh, I’m from Ellendale, and I married a guy from here.” That was a great conversation in an unlikely place. • Back in the early ‘80s, when I did live in Edgeley or shortly after I moved there, nobody in LaMoure knew who I was. I decided to take advantage of that. I found out where a party was happening, dropped in, and started making conversation with people. Fast forward and I ended up dating two girls from LaMoure that all started from that Lake LaMoure party that I crashed in 1980. It surprised most of my friends in Edgeley, but hey, no risk, no gain, right? • Another time I was traveling through southern Saskatchewan. I was actually on my way home from a trip to Regina, and as I drove through the small town of Midale, I noticed there was an auction sale going on. I detoured to that part of town and walked into this big quonset and started bidding on items. I didn’t actually get anything, and I didn’t think about what would have happened if I had. It was just a lot of fun participating in that farm auction. I was a total stranger there, and nobody questioned my motive
or integrity. • In 1999, I was working in Langdon and was on my way home to attend the Linton Centennial. As I drove through Maddock, I noticed a large crowd for a small town on Main Street. Curiousity got the best of me, so I parked my car and joined the crowd. Turns out, it was a dedication of a technology hub. Sen. Kent Conrad was there speaking because the city of Maddock received some grant money to jump start their technology incubator, I think they called it. In a totally different way, that was a lot of fun, too. I ended up staying in Maddock that whole day, getting to know people and what they were doing and what they hoped to accomplish. It actually spawned a couple of articles for the newspaper in Langdon. • Also in ‘99, I had heard Eddie Belfour was bringing the Stanley Cup back to his hometown of Carman, Manitoba, which was less than 100 miles from Langdon. That was a trip I couldn’t turn down, so I took the short ride up to Carman. I got there grossly early and thought I’d look around. Carman is a nice community and has a vibrant main street. It was interesting making small talk with people on the street because most of them couldn’t wait to see their hometown boy with one of the most coveted trophies in professional sports. Others, not so much. There were a few people who didn’t care, and there were actually a couple of people who didn’t know who Eddie Belfour was, although he grew up right there in Carman and played hockey there. • One of my most interesting excursions happened when I went to Morden, Manitoba, to cover a meeting about closing the border crossing at Maida. The meeting went a little long, and afterward the Morden mayor wanted to have a drink in a local tavern and talk about relations between Morden and Langdon. We were both chatting up a storm, and suddenly, the mayor realized the border at Maida had already closed for the night. I was stuck in Morden. Have no fear! The mayor got me a hotel room, and I ended up staying overnight there. When I got up the next morning, the Winnipeg Free Press was at my door, and the big story that day was that Wayne Gretzky had announced his retirement from hockey. I still have that edition.

Nullification: Old wine in new bottles The doctrine of nullification, a pernicious pillar of southern resistance to the federal government in the 19th and 20th centuries, promotes a constitutional theory that was emphatically rejected by the framers of the Constitution when they cast the Articles of Confederation into the ash can of history. Legislators across the country have resurrected this discredited doctrine and have introduced legislation that, in one way or another, would assert state authority to declare “null and void” federal laws and executive orders with which they disagree. In essence, these measures would create, variously, state legislative committees, tribunals and councils on federalism that would possess sweeping authority to convene a meeting and thereby halt efforts by states to comply with, or enforce federal acts, which they believe to have exceeded the power of the federal government. The power of a few legislators who serve on these tribunals could be exercised to prevent compliance with laws that govern any part of our lives. In substance, a handful of men and women would be substitutes for the historic method of challenging federal laws and acts in courts of law. In a nutshell, our legislators’ constitutional theory rests of the false claim that, in 1787, the states exercised sovereign authority to create the Constitution. Accordingly, the sovereign states might, at any time, assert the authority to nullify federal laws that they regard as unconstitutional. Southern secessionists followed the logic of this theory and plunged the nation into Civil War.

Now, various state legislators have unsheathed the sword of nullification and laid it at the neck of federal laws that they regard as unconstitutional. As we have observed in previous columns on the subject of federalism, the premises behind their constitutional theory, and reasoning behind them, are severely flawed and find no support in our constitutional architecture. Let us recall some constitutional fundamentals. In the Constitutional Convention, the framers drafted a Constitution, which, if ratified by the people, would replace the Articles of Confederation, a governmental scheme that was grounded in the concept of state sovereignty. That system, the framers agreed, had been a disaster, chiefly because the principle of state sovereignty precluded effective national governance. In Philadelphia, the framers replaced “state sovereignty” with “popular sovereignty” which, they believed, meant that the authority of the Constitution flowed from “the people” and not the states. Since state governments, like the federal government, were creatures of the Constitution, and would draw their powers from the Constitution, they could not be party to their own creation. But the American people, the framers held, possessed the ultimate legal authority — a principle articulated in the Declaration of Independence — and could create a government of their choosing. The proposed Constitution, moreover, would have no authority, the framers reasoned, until the sovereign people — not the states — breathed life into it through the ratification process. The assertion that states could nullify federal law would eviscerate the Supremacy Clause of Article VI, flip the Constitution on its head and return America to the plan of the Articles of Confederation, which the framers rebuked. The Supreme Court has consistently rejected the theory of nullification in a string of decisions since the founding, and with good reason. Otherwise,
each of the 50 states might claim the power to decide for itself what the law of the land is, a claim that would scuttle our constitutional enterprise. There is irony in these legislators’ resort to nullification. Most of them, I suspect, would declare that the Constitution should be interpreted in accordance with the aims and intentions of those who drafted the Constitution, which is the cardinal principle of Originalism. In this instance, however, they are betraying their principles and platform, as well as their professed loyalties, since the framers espoused popular, not state, sovereignty. From time to time, over the years, many citizens have expressed frustration with federal laws and acts. For some, those governing public lands, or health care or possession of firearms, have deserved condemnation. For others, regulations in the areas of civil rights, education and the environment have generated anger and protests. State legislators have tools in their belts to challenge laws and acts that they believed have transgressed federal authority. In addition to bringing lawsuits, they may pass joint resolutions to protest measures, and they may petition Congress to provide remedies and correct the offensive acts. But as long as the laws in question remain on the books, states, in accordance with the Supremacy Clause and more than two centuries of constitutional governance, are required to comply with them and prepare for their implementation.

ND Matters: Newspapers foster the sense of community By Lloyd Omdahl Because newspapers have been at the forefront of community building, we cannot talk about the precarious condition of the published word without considering this primary function of nurturing the sense of togetherness. As we look at the decline of the newspaper industry, we also see the fragmentation of relationships in communities. While the development of community becomes more and more difficult as the size of cities becomes larger, the weekly newspapers are in a more advantageous position to foster a sense of community because intimacy already exists. So what is this community that newspapers nurture? The word “community” has been used so recklessly that its true definition has become meaningless and we have used it to skit along the surface like a pond-skimming bug that never looks down. Fabian Pfortmuller of the Together Institute has been troubled by the

lack of an accurate definition and to purify use of the term he offers a few comments to clarify the definition. He alleges that the absolute core of a community is that the people care about each other. “When people care about each other, they develop trust and trust unlocks collaboration, sharing, support, hope safety and much more,” Fabian claims. Feeling they belong: “communities address one of the most fundamental human needs; we want to be loved, we don’t want to be lonely and we want to know we belong somewhere.” Without a sense of community, one is only one. When we have community, two is more than two. Together: “a community gives people a sense of shared identity. This shared identity matters, because it takes the group beyond the individual.” With this definition, local newspapers are a means to an end, the end being a sense of togetherness in which residents can pursue the greater goals of human life. In North Dakota, we do not have the community fragmentation found in many cities in which the newspapers must play the role of peacemaker by bringing diverse groups together on the news pages. Our cities are fairly homogenous, consisting mostly of staid Scandinavians and Germans, leaving play to minorities of fun-loving Irish and Czechs. A community that cares where people belong together is the one that newspapers build whether they know it or not. If it can achieved, it is worth pursuing. This means that the local newspaper is not just a business but it is
force that ties all of the community strings together. Most weekly newspapers are works of love rather than money. Otherwise weekly editors would not be working 70 hours a week to eke out enough money to keep the community message going. In recent years, we have lost weekly papers in Walhalla, New England, Hettinger and Killdeer. The New England and Hettinger papers were rescued by Jill Friesz, publisher of Grant County papers but Killdeer, with a population greater than most newspaper towns, is operating without a newspaper. So how is Killdeer doing without a newspaper? In a conversation with City Administrator Matt Oase, we found that the city and schools have turned to Facebook where all sorts of local information appear to replace the Killdeer Herald. While Facebook is “making do” for a newspaper, we agreed that it still had some limitations, especially in relation to school activities. Many a high school memory book has clippings from the local newspaper to document the prowess they will claim in 50 years. There will be few clippings without the newspaper. It appears that students in school activities and community building will be the greatest losers in the closure of weekly newspapers. In spite of the decline in economic, educational and social activities, communities with surviving newspapers should make it official business to defend and promote the wellbeing of their publications. That means an official committee of the city to address this ongoing crisis. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

He died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for him who died and was raised to life for their sake. (2 Corinthians 5:15) This week, as we observe Memorial Day, it seems appropriate to consider an important question raised in the 1998 Oscar-winning movie Saving Private Ryan: What makes us worthy? The film is about the rescue of Private James Ryan, fighting in Normandy, whose 3 brothers had been killed in action. The government decides that the man’s mother should not suffer the death of a fourth son. An impromptu squad is sent to find and save Private Ryan, experiencing incredible horrors in the fulfillment of their mission. On Memorial Day, we remember those who died in times of war, giving their lives so that we and others around the world might live rich and full lives. We live far from the sands of Middle Eastern deserts, far from the rice paddies of Vietnam, far from the hills of Korea, far from the beaches of South Pacific Islands, far from the cliffs of Normandy – but the sacrifices made and the victories won are gifts given to us from people we may or may not have known. In the search for Ryan, the men in the squad kill and are killed. The movie shows the atrocities of war, as well as acts of valor and cowardice. This is not a movie that glorifies war, but it shows that, even within the horrors of war, there springs forth something redemptive – and that redemptive idea is that every one of us
needs to live our lives with a spirit of gratitude and appreciation for the gifts that strangers have given us. At long last, Private Ryan is found. It cost the lives of most of the men sent to find him. As the captain of the squad lays dying, he says to Private Ryan: James, earn this. Earn it! On Memorial Day, we are called to remember the sacrifices of real-life heroes and live in ways that make us worthy of their sacrifices. There is another story of sacrificial love that calls us to live better lives – the story of Jesus Christ. He died for us all so that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for Jesus. To know the story of Jesus is to know that God has blessed us and continues to bless us every day. And the appropriate response is to live lives worthy of God’s blessing! The conviction that we are redeemed by God’s love should be at the heart of all we do, all we are, all we hope to be. In the movie, Ryan doesn’t ask to be saved – he just was. It was a mystery to Ryan why he deserved that gift of salvation. Yet, it was given to him, and every day of his life, he tried to live worthy of the gift. In the same way, we are saved by a God whose love is inexplicable. God’s grace is unearned, unmerited, freely given – and it’s ours! Every day we try to live worthy of the gift, to live no longer for ourselves but for Jesus, to live lives shaped by gratitude for what God has done for us. May we be worthy.

On Saturday, May 15, the Walhalla Assembly of God Church hosted the first, of what is hoped to be many, sporting tournaments in the new AG Community Center. This first event was a dodgeball tournament consisting of five teams of six players each. Although all of the players were from Walhalla; there were also team members from Grand Forks and Neche. The teams included the eventual winners, the “Tanks”, the “Saints”, the ”Ballers”, the “Average Joes” and the “Golden Bros”. Future events at the community center will include basketball shooting contests, volleyball, ping pong tournaments and other sporting contests. Please consult the Walhalla Assembly of God Facebook page at www.facebook. com/WalhallaNDAG for additional information about upcoming events and for scheduling for individual use.

FINALLY!! L-E-M Cardinals break through Region 4 Tourney to make state for the first time since 2006 Head to Jamestown looking for first state title Jun 3-5 By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
It had been a long 15 years since a Langdon baseball team made the State High School Baseball Tournament. After so many close calls, crushing defeats and near misses, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals finally reached the promised land and The Big Show, winning the Region 4 High School Baseball Tournament, held at American Legion Field in Langdon May 24-26. The Cards won three games in their title run, beating Midway-Minto 8-2 in the first round on May 24, coming back to beat Grafton 7-5 on May 25, then routing the Spoilers in the championship game 12-2 in five innings on May 26. The Cards will now take a 26-1 record into the State B Tournament, to be held at Jack Brown Stadium in Jamestown June 3-5. When they play and who they will play was not determined at press time. Simon Romfo, Cooper Zimmer, Grant Romfo, Carter Tetrault annd Jack Romfo all made the All-Region 4 Team, while Simon Romfo was named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year. Cards head coach Josh Krivarchka was honored with Region 4 Coach of the Year. Here is a recap of the Cardinals three games at the Region 4 Tournament: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 8, Midway-Minto 2 In their first game of the tourney, the Cardinals took on the Mustangs, who beat Pembina County North 11-4 earlier in the day on May 24 in a play-in game. Langodn-EdmoreMunich got on the board in the bottom of the first inning, after Grant Romfo singled and later came into score on an RBI ground out by Mason Romfo. After Grant singled again in the third inning, Simmon Romfo came up and hammered a triple, and later came into scored on a sacrifice fly by Mason Romfo. The Cards broke the game open in the fourth, with the help of two Midway-Minto errors. The Cards scored three runs on just one hit, a single by Simon Romfo. Simon would also hit his second triple of the day in the sixth, to go 4 for 4 at the plate in the game. On the mound for the Cardinals was Gage Goodman, who threw five and two thirds strong innings to get the win. Markus Kingzett came on in the sixth and retired all four batters he faced. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 7, Grafton 5 In a winners bracket game the next day on May 25, the Cards had to battle the whole game against the Spoilers. AJ Votava hit a two

LangdonEdmore-Munich would get one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning, when Simon Romfo brought in his brother Grant on a run scoring ground out. After Grafton went ahead 3-1 in the second, the Cards would tie it up on singles by Cooper Zimmer and Brady Regner, plus two errors on Grafton. Grafton took the lead back in the third inning as Jaxon Bjornson hit a two run homer, which forced the Cardinals to scratch their way back in the game, which they did. Mason Romfo and Cooper Zimmer had run scoring singles to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth, then went ahead for the first time in the sixth, when Markus Kingzett, Dawnon Hein and Gage Goodman all singled to start the inning. Later in the frame Kingzett and Goodman would both scored on Spoilers errors to finally take the lead. Grant Romfo settled down nicely on the mound, only allowing two hits over the last four innings. He got the win striking out 10 batters, while throwing 114 pitches. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 12, Grafton 2 (5 Innings) In the Championship Game of the tourney, the Cardinals again met the Spoilers, who beat Park River Area 8-0 in a loser out game to get to the title match up. The Cards would come into this game with guns blazing. They would pick up two runs in the bottom of the first inning, and a triple by pitcher Simon Romfo, followed by an RBI ground out from Mason Romfo. Langdon-Edmore-Munich would blast the game open in the third, putting up eight

The back breaker for Grafton was when Mason Romfo alertly sprinted home after a throw back to the pitcher got away over the mound. The Cards would add two more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning on a double by Cooper Zimmer and and RBI single from Markus Kingzett. The stage was set in the top of the fifth inning for the Cardinals to win the title by the 10 run rule, and Simon Romfo got that done, retiring the Spoilers in order and striking out Riley Eide to end the game. Every hitter in the Cardinals got on base in the game and made something happen. Hein also had an unassisted double play to end a big Grafton threat in the first inning. The Spoilers committed five errors in the field for the game.
Josh Krivarchka was named Region 4 Coach of the Year, left, and Simon Romfo was named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year.

Drought relief program webinar set Producers who are experiencing drought-related challenges will have an opportunity to learn more about the programs the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) has to offer during a webinar that North Dakota State University Extension and the North Dakota FSA are hosting on Monday, June 7, at 11 a.m. Central time. “Drought presents many tough challenges for farms and ranches,” says Brian Haugen, acting state executive director for the North Dakota FSA. “FSA administers programs that can offer a range of services and programs to help anticipate, survive and recover from drought conditions.” The webinar will provide information and guidance for producers on the following drought assistance programs: • Conservation Reserve Program emergency haying and grazing • Disaster declarations • Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) • Emergency loans • Livestock Forage Program (LFP)
• Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) • NDSU livestock forage calculator demonstration “This a good opportunity for North Dakota ag producers to learn about federal programs that can help them get through the extreme drought conditions many producers are facing,” says Ron Haugen, NDSU Extension farm management specialist. “There are many helpful resources available and this will allow farmers and ranchers an opportunity to find out more.” To register for the webinar, visit https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ drought/. Participants may ask questions during the live webinar. The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be archived at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/drought/livestock/government-programs/ government-programs for later viewing. For more information on drought resources, visit the NDSU Drought Resource page (https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/drought) or https://www.farmers.gov, or contact your local FSA county office.
Keep North Dakota waters clean by stopping aquatic nuisance species The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality urges all North Dakotans to take some time to learn about Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS). Once in our waters, ANS threaten the sustainability, biodiversity, and quality of our water resources. To preserve our waterways for current and future generations, water users must take steps to prevent the spread of ANS. Whenever recreating in a lake or river, remember to thoroughly inspect all equipment
for mud, plants, animals, and residual water. Thoroughly clean, drain and dry all gear before its next use. Never release an unwanted pet, such as a fish or snail, into a waterway. Choose native plant options when aquatic landscaping or gardening. Be sure always to follow all ANS regulations every time you enter and depart a body of water. Together we can conserve and protect North Dakota’s rivers, lakes, and streams and the native fish and wildlife that thrive in them.

A Big year for Grasshoppers Grasshoppers love warm and dry conditions. Grasshopper populations have been consistently increasing for the past three years and this could be attributed to the dry conditions we have been experiencing. Grasshoppers do not thrive in wet conditions as they are more susceptible to fungal diseases. Baby grasshoppers start hatching around this time and note that they are very tiny, size of wheat kernel. Grasshopper adults lay eggs (overwintering stage) in the soil that are cemented together as pod like structures with secretions from females. Each egg pod consists of 20-120 eggs. Young grasshoppers are referred to as nymphs which resemble adults in every aspect except the small size and lack of wings. The reason why we notice hoppers early in the season around field margins and ditches is, immature grasshoppers lack wings and all they could do is jump short distances. Depending on the species, grasshoppers go through 5-6 developmental stages (instars). The worst part of grasshoppers is, all the developmental stages except egg can cause damage to our crops. In the early nymphal stages the damage is on leaves with shot holes and defoliation but at later stages the damage is much severe
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Staying Home Alone Being a middle child, I don’t really remember ever being home alone. There was always someone older or someone younger that was around to either take care of me or for me to take care of. On those rare occasions that I had to be home alone, it was important for my parents to make sure I was ready. We lived out on a farm right on a main highway, and it was (I’m dating myself here) pre-cell phones. Of course, there were times when I was left to venture out in the woods or pasture alone, but I usually had the best dog in the whole world with me, Shorty. He was a Collie, and as I grew older, I always had visions of him running to get help for me just as Lassie would on the tv. Good thing I never needed him to come to my rescue. With school getting out, many parents struggle with knowing whether their child or children can stay home alone or if they should seek supervision for them. There is no law in North Dakota stating a specific age at which a child can be left alone, but the Department of Human Services has developed guidelines that can help parents make this decision. Is age the only factor to consider? No. There is much more to staying home alone than age, and it’s important to consider the child’s readiness and eagerness to do so, no matter what age they may be. Some of the factors to consider according to the Department of Human Services are things like physical or mental limitations, maturity level, time of day, length of time they will be left alone, location and conditions of environment, and accessibility to helpful adults. Some questions to ask yourself before leaving your child alone: • If there was an emergency, how would my child handle the situa-

with leaf stripping, head clipping, flower, pod, kernel and seed damage. Damage is severe in dry years when the food plants are scarce which makes crops more attractive and susceptible.
Grasshopper nymph feeding on dry bean foliage Photo: Anitha. C, NDSU Scouting: Regular scouting of field edges is important. The easy way to scout them is to use a 15-inch sweep net and do four 180-degree sweeps in grassy ditches to estimate the number of adult (or nymph) grasshoppers per square yard. Early detection of grasshopper nymphs is vital
NDSU Extension Notes
tion? • If someone came to the door, would my child answer the door? • Is my child responsible enough to handle daily tasks and self-care? When considering responses to these questions, it is important to also consider age, even though that may not be the main factor. It’s recommended that children ages 8 and under always be supervised by an adult and should never be in charge of other children. Children 9 years old can be left alone, but it’s not recommended for longer than 2 hours during the daytime. Children 10-11 years can be left alone for longer periods. Children 12 years and older may baby-sit, but it's recommended to take a babysitting course before they do so. All children under 15 years of age should not be left alone overnight, and there should be considerations when doing so with older teens as well. No matter the age of the child, age-appropriate safety precautions should be taken with all children. Safety can be taught from a very young age, and more safety conversations can be added as the child grows and becomes more independent. Expectations that are clearly defined as well as keeping a schedule even when they are home alone are all beneficial to helping your child with the independent process. Schedule and Precautions Tips: • Daily self-care tasks (dressing, brushing teeth, getting dressed) • Chores (daily age-appropriate tasks, deadline for completion) • Emergency contacts list (with accessibility to call or get to help) • Guardian expectations for safety and behavior (company, leaving the house, answering the door and phone, etc.) • Food (healthy snacks, food safety precautions) • Screen time (time allowed, parent controls, appropriate use) Nutrition is always a concern for children left on their own, so be sure to provide healthy snacks for them to have access to while they are home alone.

for effective pest management. Grasshopper damage on dry beans Photos: Anitha. C, NDSU The action threshold for nymphs is: • 50-75 per square yard in field margins • 30-45 per square yard within the field For adults: • 21-40 per square yard in field margins • 8-14 per square yard within the field Frost in the Forecast: Rhubarb concerns This is the most popular question during summer and late fall that the Extension office receives, “Can we harvest rhubarb after a frost or freeze event”? Most of them know the answer to this question but I am glad they ask this question to make sure that they are making the right decision. Simple answer to this question is ‘No” and I will explain why it is. It is common knowledge that while rhubarb petioles (stalk of the leaf) are edible, leaves are not. This is due to the moderately poisonous oxalic acid. During frost or freezing events, these oxalates travel from leaf to the petiole making them unsafe to consume. If the stalks or leaves appear mushy or brown or black, do not eat them. In spring, you can cut of those frozen leaves and harvest the freshly stalks that develop later in the season.

Lightly grease bottom only of one 8½-inch by 4½-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, granulated sugar, and oil for one minute, scrape bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together whole-wheat flour, soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir into bowl mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in carrots and raisins. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

will only take a few minutes. I said I am only five minutes from town and will be there soon. In my rush I forgot to turn off the alarm that has a one minutes delay before it goes off. I stuck a note for the plummer on the outside, walk-in garage door. The wind blew it out, and when I was trying to catch it, my cell phone kept ringing. I couldn't understand what it was so I hung up. I wasn't gone more than 15 or 20 minutes, and when I got home a Sheriff's car was there. He said your alarm went off. What happened was when I didn't stay on the phone and give the password, Simply Safe Security Co. called the police department. I am 95 years old and living alone on the farm and will feel more secure now that I know I have this protection. (I never caught the note!)

Never Give Up 2 Two weeks ago, the annual graduation column I had been adding to and correcting since late March refused to send by e-mail. Eventually I had to ask for help from the newspaper staff, and Part 1 of the story went through taking with it the rough draft of Part 2 along with a note to not use Part 2 as it would be re-written. After many corrections, Part 2 appeared to send normally a week ago. Breathing a sigh of relief, I went on to other projects that needed to be finished as well. The short story is that the column did not send and what appeared in the paper was the “not ready for primetime version” instead. In the spirit of “if at first you don’t succeed try, try again” I chose different topics this week, wrote another story, and that also vanished. Not only did it not send, but it even bypassed the trash and recycle bin that live in the computer. So, we begin with the title of a new book found at the library. North Dakotans Never Give Up by Larry Aasen. Born near Hillsboro in 1922, he compiled this collection from his years growing up in North Dakota at the age of 96 while living in Westport, CT, where he has spent much of his adult life. A cover letter came with the book as a gift from him to the Cavalier County Library which says he wanted to put his memories in the hands of librarians who daily guide patrons to an important treasure---books. In the front are listed seven other books he has compiled since 1990 with almost all the titles containing the words North Dakota. This book deals with life on the farm during the Depression, country schools, UND, NDSU, World War II, weather, sunflowers, and even excerpts from his mother’s diary. Their family records tell when the first airplane flew over their farm and includes stories of Carl Ben Eielson, Charles Lindberg, Amelia Earheart, and the death of the first female pilot in North Dakota, Florence Klingensmith, whose plane crashed on Labor Day, pos-

sibly in 1932. The print is large, and there are many pictures which make it more interesting. On the cover are the pictures of a dozen of his favorite North Dakotans who NEVER GAVE UP. Included in this collection are Roger Maris, Angie Dickinson, Eric Sevaried, and Lawrence Welk plus many others. At the end is his picture and story. About the same time, Frank Jennings sent his 21st annual Jennings Family Newsletter which includes a copy of his 2010 story about attending Harvey School #3 that I may have read before but enjoyed again. Frank went to summer school for his first eight grades, and the school described in the Aasen book appears to be another country school much like the one most of my North Dakota relatives attended which functioned on the same schedule as town schools like Langdon where my brother and I attended and were enrolled. However, from time to time I also went to Hay #3 (unofficially) whenever Langdon closed for a few days at a time due to lack of coal for the furnace or other reasons. So I knew a side of country school that many town kids did not. The vanished story compared those three views of school in the 1930s and 1940s and is reprised without the original notes to refresh my memory. 1. Country schools had much better playground facilities than the Langdon School. They had more swings, some of the children rode ponies or horses to school, they had a merry-go-round, and they had balls and bats and learned from first grade on to play baseball. Langdon students had a shale parking lot where we could play running games like Tag or Not It or maybe Last Couple Out. We had sidewalks where we could play hopscotch, jump rope, a game called poison or bounce golf balls and do o’larries. No, I cannot describe that. We brought our balls, ropes, marbles, and other paraphernalia with us and guarded them carefully so they would not be lost or stolen. These items were not supplied by the school. Langdon had one outdoor basketball hoop which grade school children never got close to. We also had some evergreens planted after

Langdon Long Ago
the cyclone on the southeast corner of the school lot where we sometimes played hide and seek. 2. All schools had desks, and Frank remembered their school had a bench in front of the teacher where the group reciting would sit when it was their turn to read or be helped with math. At Hay #3 they had individual desks for the older students (around 30 in the school at that time), but younger students sat two to a desk because the room was crowded. Aasen remembered the desks were bolted to the floor. In Langdon we thought our desks were nailed down as well, but actually they were nailed to long strips of lumber so that the whole row could be moved aside to sweep under the area and then pushed back in place. From first grade on we knew what it meant to be “in position”. Each child must be seated quietly with their hands folded on top of the desk before the teacher allowed us to be dismissed for noon lunch or at the end of the school day. 3. Both Frank and Mr. Aasen wrote about bringing lunch to school every day in either a lunch box or possibly a syrup pail. Aasen remembered that girls carried the lunch boxes since boys needed their arms free for throwing snowballs and baseballs. The contents of school lunches was commonly a source of conversation at the homes of other students later that day – sometimes in hopes of having possible treats in their own boxes the next day. Children at all schools seemed to want to trade lunches with others who had more enticing items to eat. At one school a first grader brought a thermos of coffee (not served to children at most homes), and everyone wanted to taste her coffee. In Langdon we went home for lunch and ate while the radio played Whoopee John’s Polkas or stories of Ma Perkins and her friends depending on the station favored in our homes. 4. Frank mentioned his school was a summer school with a week off for Bible School. Each district set their starting date and days off, but the state had a set number of days you must be present to pass to a higher grade. When Langdon had
a severe hailstorm with many broken windows, the days missed were forgiven by state officials, but older members of my mother’s family remembered being kept out to help in the field or to work to supplement family income, and some of them did not pass out of third or fourth grade. Laws had changed by our day. Frank wrote about a small school and that he was the only child in his grade except for one day when another boy was his classmate for one day. In Langdon the classes were large, and the class I was in was always the largest during the time we were enrolled. Mostly we were two classes to a room except for first grade when the room was full with just us. Cousins and friends at country school often told us they had “all A's from day one” and probably did. In town we got A, B, C, D and red F grades for academic subjects and for conduct and effort. Several parents gave spending money to match the grades received. My mother’s rule was that you paid her if you got lower than a C. 5. Country schools, in general, did not have running water or indoor plumbing. On that score, Langdon School ranked much better since homes on the edges of town did not have those facilities either. At country schools they sometimes had a dipper and a pail much like you found in farm kitchens for drinking water and washing hands. Outhouses were common with often one for boys and another for girls. Children in town adjusted well to the modern version, but we were not fond of standing in line and all drinking out of the same water fountain. There are many books compiled by former teachers that will give you hilarious versions of this topic. College and University Colors Years ago when making items for our church bazaar, some boys in the church asked me to make them dishcloths “to wipe up spills and put their hockey trophies on”, so I did. The first ones were in colors that would go with UND or NDSU where the recipients hoped to one day be stars. Not all reached star status, and they began asking
me to make something to match their car, their pickup, their motorcycle, or their combine, and I tried to match them with a school they might someday attend. Many of the teams today wear black, and my eyes do not do well with dark colors so I tried to find colors that might work in dorm rooms of local North Dakota colleges and universities. In response to some recent color questions, here is what I found: Bismarck State – Green and Brown. The green is a lighter leafy shade on their advertisements. Dakota College at Bottineau – White and Forest Green. This is a carryover from the years they were the School of Forestry under NDSU. Dickinson University – Dark Blue. Lake Region at Devils Lake – three shades of blue possibly with the light blue for the sky, the mid-blue for the lake and the royal blue for their teams known as the Royals. Mayville State – Blue and White. Minot State University – Green and Red with the Green appearing Gray in advertisements. NDSU – Yellow and Green with yellow originally for the harvest and green for other growing things. North Dakota State School of Science (Wahpeton) – Red, Black, and Silver. United Tribes at Bismarck – Red, Black, and White. This school is affiliated with several different tribes but also open to others who wish to attend. University of Jamestown – Orange and Black. This school was begun by the Presbyterian Church. University of Mary at Bismarck – Dark Blue and began as a Catholic University; their logo has a white cross as part of its design. University of North Dakota - the original colors were Green for the prairies and Pink for the prairie rose which is our state flower. When athletics were added the athletic colors were Green and White. Black has been added in more recent years. Valley City State College – Cardinal Red and Blue. Originally a teacher’s college they have branched out into technology as well. The red shade appears to be more of a magenta or burgundy color on their website. Williston State College – Dark Green and White.
Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Cardinals make State B Baseball Tournament after 15 painful years Let's start this week by congratulating the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals high school baseball on getting over the hump and winning the 2021 Region 4 High School Baseball Tournament. After 15 years of some very frustrating postseason losses, the Cards finally put three games together and will now make their second appearance at a State B Tourney, their first since 2006, when they took second. The names Zack Schaefer, Justin Flink, Tanner Adam, Ryan Bachman, Drew Wold and several more come to mind now off that team. This years Cardinals team was hoping to be seeded first in the state tournament, which was going to be announced the morning of May 28. We will have full coverage of how they do here in the Republican, and of course you can hear all of their games on KNDK 1080 and online through myborderland.com. It's fitting that this years tournament
is back at Jack Brown Stadium June 3-5, as it was back in '06. State Track Meet happening in Bismarck; Lady Cards win Northeast Region Meet The good news just continues this week, with a huge shout out going to the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls track team, on winning the 2021 Northeast Region Meet, held in Hillsboro on May 21. The Lady Cards got it done and did it in style, winning by 10 points over May-Port-C-G. Hillsboro-Central Valley won on the boys side, with Langdon-Edmore-Munich finishing eighth. A couple of Cardinals girls qualified for state at the meet, with Lexi Olson getting their in the 400 meter run. She is now qualified in four events -- the 100, 200 and 400 meter runs, and the 300 meter hurdles. New Cards qualifiers also include Marlee Hetletved and Rebekah Wells in the 100 meter hurdles. Other Cardinals that already qualified are Cora Badding the long and triple jump, Alexa Schneider in the pole vault, Meredith Romfo in the javelin and Heather Okeson in the discus. On the boys side, Tucker Regner has qualified in the pole
vault. We wish both Cardinals boys and girls teams the best of luck at state! State B Golf happening June 1-2, Wednesday Women's League at the LCC also set to begin State Tournaments for spring events are all happening withing the next week. The State B Boys will be held in Carrington, with the State B Girls in Jamestown. Langdon-Edmore-Munich qualified their whole team for the girls tourney, with boys missing out by two strokes. However Alex Gellner and Reese Hoffarth both made the All-Region 3 team, so both qualified for state as well. North Border also has their boys team going to the state meet this year. Jenny Romfo is coaching both the girls and boys teams this year, and she is also organizing the Wednesday, Womens League at the Langdon Country Club. That is set to start this week, with two shifts on June 2. If you still haven't signed up your 2-Woman team, please contact Coach Romfo ASAP at 701-3700098. Happy Memorial Day weekend, and "See ya!" next week!
