CARDS COME THROUGH!!!
Number 24
Langdon-Edmore-Munich beats the heat to win first-ever high school baseball title lights from so many players in the tournament, but one that stuck out was the performance It was 1998 when high of Munich senior Cooper Zimschool baseball started in Lang- mer in the title game, a 9-1 win don. After many years of only over LaMoure-Litchville-Mariplaying American Legion base- on. It was at least 100 degrees ball, a high school program was developed and sanctioned with Larry Geisen being the first head coach in team history. After 23 years with one state tournament appearance and several close calls, heart-wrenching losses and lots of gut bunches, the Cardinals finally got it done and won their first-ever Class B High School Baseball Championship at a tournament held in Jamestown at Jack Brown Stadium June 3-5. The Cards won their first title in convincing fashion, allowing just four runs in three games played (you can find complete coverage of their tourney run on this week's sports page). This year's team had five seniors, most of which went through three years of getting so close to winning the Region 4 Tournament but lost each time to some very talented Park River-Fordville-Lankin clubs. We talked with the three senior Cardinals starters about finally reaching the top of the mountain, along with Coach Josh Krivarchka, who won Class B during every game the Cards High School Baseball Coach of played in the tourney, and Zimthe Year, while the Cards Simon mer said, "Playing in the 100 Romfo won Class B Senior Ath- degree temps was hard at first, but your body got used to the lete of the Year.

The Cavalier Motorcycle Ride-In turns 25 in 2021 For Cavalier, Father’s Day always brings the rumbling of thunder throughout the weekend, but that does not mean that it is going to storm. That rumble is the sound of thousands of motorcycles making their way to the small northern town for the Cavalier Motorcycle Ride-In. It all started because of a new HarleyDavidson motorcycle and a Black Hills Gold jewelry salesman. In 1997, Nancy Jenson was working at H i l l m a n’s Jewelry on Main Street C a v a l i e r, and one of the business’s jewelry distributors was showcasing some new Harley Davidson pieces they were offering. It just so happened that Nancy’s husband, John, had just received his new Harley-Davidson Heritage Springer Softail after ordering a motorcycle two and a half years prior. Nancy was excited for John’s new toy, and with Greemer and Gladys Hillman’s approval, Hillman’s Jewelry started carrying the new motorcycle themed pieces. To sell the new products to
the proper audience, the Hillmans worked with a local committee who marketed the retail businesses of Cavalier. Together they transformed a Thursday “late night” shopping event into the Cavalier Motorcycle Ride-In. They took out a few local radio ads, a print ad in the Cavalier Chronicle, and posted flyers in
the area inviting motorcyclists to come to Cavalier to see what Main Street had to offer. In small town fashion, somebody knew somebody that had a garage band, and they were invited to perform atop a trailer on a grassy lot. The businesses set up shop that night not really knowing what to expect, but as the famous movie quote goes, “if you build it, they will come.” That first Cavalier Motorcycle Ride-In was reported to have

between 70-80 motorcyclists rolling into town. Planners and participants knew there was something to this event, so they continued the Thursday night Cavalier Motorcycle Ride-In for a few more years. Eventually the Ride-In outgrew its Thursday night timeslot and was moved to Saturday; an arm-wrestling tournament was added as well. At one point the arm-wrestling tournament lasted 8 hours. The committee exchanged arm-wrestling for mud-wrestling and hosted various biker games, including the “Slow Race”, “Ride and Bite”, and the burnout competition. When the Cedar Inn began hosting a Friday night kick-off party featuring a beer garden and live music, the Cavalier Motorcycle Ride-In became a two-day event. Over time the Ride-In continued to grow thanks to the forward-thinking of past and present committee members who introduced new opportucont. on page 2

the base pads. It was warm up there on the mound, but when you get in and out of innings quickly it makes it so you aren’t up there overheating." We also asked him to compare a state
baseball title with three state football titles, which he said, "Winning the baseball title feels a little more special because it is the first one that we got, and we worked so hard in the years prior but came up just short. It means a lot to do something so special for the community, former teammates, and all the people that have supported us throughout all of our sports." Cooper pitched a complete game in to LaMoure, throwing just 87 pitches, and also had three hits at the plate. Like Zimmer, this is the fourth state championship for Langdon seniors Grant Romfo, Simon Romfo, Alex Clutchie and Drew Simpson, adding the baseball championship to with three football crowns. On winning a first-ever state title in baseball along with three in football, Simon said, "Winning in baseball feels a lot different because it was the first time, I think. In football, we started repeating, and it was awesome everytime, but there is nothing like winning for the first time. It is always a special feeling." Grant also added, "It was different in that baseball was a three-day tournament, so we had to come focused and ready to play, whereas, in football we on play one game. It feels great after coming so close so many times and finally getting together and bringing home cont. on page 2

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
The Fleischkuekle rocks Do you remember the three old ladies in their 1948 sedan, cruising around town with a bull horn mounted on the roof? “Spreading the Word” was a Kroll’s Diner TV commercial in which three German ladies made it clear that the Fleischkuekle rocks. The commercial, both hilarious and very clever at the same time, pointed out the strong German influence in foods in North Dakota. Fleischkuekle is just one of the many ethnic foods in the state that are common. It is a Germans from Russia type of meat pie made with dough, similar to a Cornish pastry or Russian chiburekki. Fleischkuekle is typically served hot from a deep fryer. Another German from Russia staple is knoephla. This is a type of dumpling, commonly used in soups. The word is related to the modern German dialect word Knöpfle, meaning little knob/button. Traditional knoephla soup is a thick chicken and potato soup, almost to the point of being a stew. There are many different iterations known, though the North Dakotan iteration typically contains just potatoes and dumplings. This is another item that Kroll’s Diner promoted heavily. In a forceful voice, one of the old ladies in the commercial says, “You will like our knoephla soup!” One of the most important foods to come from Germany proper is kuchen. It’s the German word for cake but is used in other languages as the name for several different types of savory or sweet desserts, pastries, and gateau. Most kuchen have eggs, flour and sugar as common ingredients while also, but not always, including some fat. In Germany it is a common tradition to invite friends over to one’s house or to a cafe between noon and evening to drink coffee and eat kuchen. As the old ladies in the Kroll’s Diner commercial are cruising in their ‘48, they come across a priest walking down the street who tells them as they pass, “Blessed be the kuchen!” There are a number of places across the state where you can get kuchen. If you’re serious about it, though, you should check out Grandma’s Kuchen in Ashley. Those people are churning out 20 flavors of
kuchen every day, and you can get it fresh or frozen. Aldo, let’s not forget sauerkraut, which is fermented cabbage and very popular in North Dakota. Norwegian foods are equally as popular as many of us know from attending the Norsk Hostfest in Minot. Lefse is perhaps the most common Norwegian food adapted on the North Dakota prairie. It is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread made with potatoes, flour, butter, and milk or cream. It is cooked on a large, flat griddle. Special tools are used to prepare lefse, including long wooden turning sticks and special rolling pins with deep grooves. Krumkaka is also very popular and is found all over at Christmas time. Essentially it’s a Norwegian waffle cookie that is curved cake or krumkaka. Lutefisk is another Norwegian specialty, although most of the rest of the world wonders why? This is a white fish, usually cod, that is dried, salted and pickled in lye that becomes gelatinious. There are a lot of other ethnic foods in North Dakota. Here are a few that are fairly well known. • Italy: Pizza, pasta, breads, formaggi (cheeses) and minestrone. • Mexico: Enchiladas, tamales, burritos, tacos, tostadas, tortillas, fried ice cream and chiles. • England: Fish & chips, shepherd’s pie, Beef Wellington, bangers and mash – a dish consisting of sausages served with mashed potatoes and onion gravy, scones and pickled onions. • France: Beef bourguignon, souffle, soupe à l’oignon (French onion soup), baguette, croissants, truffles, escargot, pastries and quiche. • Greece: Baklava, stuffed grape leaves, gyros, fried cheese and olives in olive oil. • Native American: Fry bread, three sisters (corn, beans, squash), hominy, potatoes, succotash, chile and pemmican. • Australian: Vegemite on toast, lamington, Tim Tams, sausage rolls, calamari, pavlova, meat pie and pumpkin soup. • Ukrainian: Borscht, Chicken Kiev and stuffed cabbage rolls. • Polish: Perogies, kielbasa and potato pancakes. • Chinese: Egg rolls, wonton soup and fried rice. • Canadian: Poutine, ketchup potato chips and smoked salmon. • Japanese: Miso soup, ramen and sushi. • Korean: Kimchi.
The mystery of the Ninth Amendment Likely the most mysterious provision of the Bill of Rights, the question of the meaning of the Ninth Amendment has generated numerous interpretations and theories. Though not invoked by the Supreme Court for the first time in our nation’s history until1965, it has come to play an important role in advancing the rights and liberties of Americans everywhere. The right to privacy, intimate relations, same- sex marriage and raising children in a manner consistent with parental values are but a few of the many rights asserted in the name of this constitutional curiosity. The Ninth Amendment was brought center stage in 1965, in Griswold v. Connecticut, when the Court, in an opinion written by Justice William O. Douglas, declared unconstitutional a state statute that made criminal the use of contraceptives, even by married couples. Justice Douglas famously coupled the Ninth Amendment with “penumbral” rights drawn from the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments, to produce a “right of privacy older than the Bill of Rights” itself, particularly as it pertained to “the sacred precincts of the marital bedroom.” Critics of the concept of a constitutional right to privacy, including the fact that it purports to rest, in part, on the Ninth Amendment, have accused the Court of creating rights not grounded in the Constitution. In the roughly 2,000 cases filed across the country since Griswold that have invoked the Ninth Amendment to defend this or that liberty, controversy has raged as to its meaning. The starting point for determin-

ing the meaning of any provision of the Constitution is its language. The Ninth Amendment states: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people.” The Ninth Amendment plainly declares that “we the people” enjoy rights beyond those enumerated in the Constitution. Two questions immediately arise. First, why did James Madison, in his introduction of the Bill of Rights of June 8, 1789, introduce the amendment and its protection of unenumerated rights? Second, what are the unenumerated rights “retained” by the people? History affords some understanding. In the latter days of the Constitutional Convention, some delegates urged the addition of a Bill of Rights as a means of protecting against the possibility that the government might violate its authority and encroach on the rights of the people. The dreaded Necessary and Proper Clause, some feared, might be exercised to infringe such fundamental rights as free speech and religious liberty, unless they were enshrined in the Constitution. Madison and other heavyweights, including Alexander Hamilton and James Wilson, opposed the idea and argued that a Bill of Rights that enumerated some rights would imply that those not enumerated did not exist. The prospect of an unintentional omission would be dangerous, since it might imply governmental authority that was not conferred by the Constitution. Advocates of a Bill of Rights pointed out that this specific problem already existed in the draft of the Constitution, which protected liberty from religious tests and bills of attainder, among others, but not the great, magisterial rights such as speech, religion, trial by jury and due process of law. Madison and others recognized the weakness of their position and proposed to remedy it with the addition of a Bill of Rights, after the Constitution was ratified by the sovereign people. In his marvelous speech on June 8, Madison introduced the Ninth
Amendment to protect against the very concern that he had expressed in the Convention. Thus, the language, “other rights retained by the people,” made it clear that the people enjoyed rights not enumerated. And, whatever else it might mean it is clear that the Bill of Rights was not exhaustive of the rights enjoyed by the people. While we cannot be certain what rights Madison had in mind, he prefaced his introduction of the Bill of Rights by stating the need to secure “the great rights of mankind.” Madison’s approach was creative. Indeed, no precedent for it existed. He may have included freedom of speech in that category, for he did not list it as an enumerated right. A friendly amendment to his motion, by his fellow Virginian, George Mason, converted free speech to an enumerated right. Madison, moreover, may have had in mind protection for “natural rights,” which he believed preexisted government and were separate from those that were derived from the Constitution. Also, he probably had in mind the concept of “positive rights,” those practices and activities that were familiar to Americans but not prohibited by law, including, perhaps, the right to hunt and fish, and the right not to be taxed except by consent through one’s representatives, the right to refuse military service on grounds of religious conscience and, important to all, the right to pursue happiness. Discussion of the rights embodied in the Ninth Amendment can go on, endlessly, and it likely will. How can it be otherwise in a nation committed to limited governmental power?

ND Matters: Need a bigger view for Legacy Fund By Lloyd Omdahl While other armchair quarterbacks are surveying the work of the 2021 legislative session, the three most significant acts include $700 million in bonding for infrastructure, $70 million for “career academies” to expanded instruction in technical skills and statutory authority for using the $8 billion Legacy Fund for some investing in North Dakota. The career academies will welcome employees in dying industries, reach for students whose skills don’t fit in the 4-year universities, and offer employment opportunities for nonworking adults. Half the Job But just offering the classroom or workshop instruction is only half of the job. A number of states are now granting full tuition for certain STEM specialties. The unemployed will need coaches to help work through the pitfalls that have kept them unemployed in the first place. These will be costly investments but they will reward society for decades just as the G.I. Bill did for America after World War II and following conflicts.

Saving for What? Now that the legislature has taken a serious look at utilization of the Legacy Fund, perhaps it will be possible to take a broader view of the Fund and what it should be doing for the whole citizenry. It doesn’t seem rational that the Legacy Fund should be saved and saved and saved. For what? And when? The Legacy Fund was earned during the lives of present North Dakotans. While the state needs to be frugal in spending Legacy Fund money, the present generation is as entitled to a share as much as some generations in the future. Top Ten in Wind In just about every civic effort, North Dakota ranks toward the bottom. We only make the top ten in windiness. In addition to investing in solid North Dakota ventures that benefit only the commercial interests, we should beef up the other services that round out quality living in North Dakota, e.g. education, natural resources, recreation, parks, education, rehabilitation, corrections, health care, etc. etc. Every public service has problems of its own solvable only with additional funding. Face it, we are a cheap state and we like a biennial legislative sessions because the legislature spends money every day it meets. The middle and upper classes run state policy and their solutions don’t interface very well with people caught below the poverty line. 80,000 in Poverty According to the 2020 U. S. Census, North Dakota’s population is now 780,000. According to the number crunchers, we have 9.2 percent – close to 80,000 - residents below the poverty
line. ( It would be higher but we can thank Governor Jack Dalrymple for expanding Medicaid for the poor.) Let’s look at health care, a major concern for thousands of North Dakotans. If we are to believe our health care professionals, North Dakota healthcare is underfunded. 26 Health Goals The State Health Department developed a strategic plan to improve the health and well-being of all North Dakotans. The plan had 26 distinct goals for 2019-2021, all of which are important and could be implemented with more staffing and funding. Among the prevention and wellness initiatives proposed by the plan were: reducing obesity, reducing tobacco use, reducing causes of injury, reducing alcohol and substance abuse, controlling chronic diseases and developing a statewide blood pressure control program. All of these objectives require public participation and support, possible only with costly public information campaigns. Much To Be Done Among other objectives were creating sustainable models for delivery of services to rural areas, implementing consistent EMS response systems, developing strategies for long term care, strengthening workforce education, creating incentives for physician retention and a dozen more. The State Health Improvement Plan tells us that there are so many needs in healthcare that, using a portion of the Legacy Fund, we should launch a Health Care Marshall Plan that would make lives more healthy and enjoyable for more people in North Dakota. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.
Letter to Editor
Letter to the Editor: BIDEN IS PUPPET Why do liberals call others so many names? Isn’t that bullying? Schools have programs to prevent it yet namecalling is in the news daily. They are the ones who are dividing this country with the media and “comedians” as part of it. They are poor role models. Few conservatives are doing the namecalling. Are you happy with this administration? Do you like the higher taxes, increased prices for fuel, lumber, food, the shutdown of our pipelines while giving Russia money to build one, trillion dollar spending bills, more riots and crime? Then thank Biden supporters. Biden supposedly won by 7 million votes. How? There were 135 million registered voters so if Trump had nearly 75 million, how could Biden legally win? People thronged to Trump while Pinocchio Joe hid and had small crowds! I believe the election was sto-
len. Money talked, rules changed and many lawsuits were filed. If not guilty, why are those states afraid of an audit? TV showed crews bringing in ballots after closing. Arizona’s audit is already proving that. Biden says the border is under control but 170,000 illegals came in April and 144,000 in May. Immigration is up 1000% in past 4 years with most in past 6 months from 59 countries. Where will they live or work? Put them with Democrat politicians. Facebook and TikTok advertise in Central America that if you cross the border you can go anywhere in America. Maybe Biden should be impeached as he is unfit to lead the nation but is serving as a puppet for those around him. Is he Obama’s third term? Fauci should be fined, fired, and imprisoned as he signed for government payments to the Wuhan lab for virus experiments. Then he told us what to do and wear. Typical liberal!

The Langdon Day Care Center is a busy place caring for so many of our community’s young people every day while their parents keep our community running. In the last several years, the daycare has seen some needed improvements thanks to the generosity of the community and the funds raised from The Winter Gala. While thank yous have been extended since the final Winter Gala was held this past year, the board of directors wanted to, again, express their gratitude to everyone and let you know where those funds have been going. Not everyone gets a chance to see the changes that help keep the day care a safe and fun environment for the kids. Over the years, several improvements have been done that are visible. The first thing you may notice is the new flooring throughout the entire building. This was much needed and gave the day care a nice facelift! In addition to the flooring, the lockers that line the front hall of the day care were added, which allows the kids’ items to be stored away safely. This also keeps the front hallway neat and clean for the kids and teachers. A dividing wall was also placed in the transition room to allow separation of different age groups. In the basement, they added a full bathroom, allowing the classroom kiddos access to that without having to go upstairs. New appliances were purchased for the kitchen, and a new shed was purchased outside to keep the sum-

mer toys organized and allows storage for bigger items that aren’t used on a day-to-day basis that would otherwise take up precious square footage inside the building. Speaking of toys, new trikes and helmets were purchased for the kids to use as well! Those are just a few of the improvements and additions that are visible to those coming to the day care. In addition, there have also been lots of things that have been done that aren’t able to be seen that are very essential and allow the day care to run smoothly. A new A/C unit was installed as well as a new furnace – both allow the day care to be kept comfortable throughout the year for the kids and teachers. A new washer and dryer were purchased, and the dishwasher was replaced in the transition room as well. They also improved the camera system, adding additional cameras where needed, and improved the fire equipment. On top of all of these things, the funds have allowed them to reward their hardworking teachers with additional incentives that they deserve. Again, the day care board cannot express their thanks enough for what the support of the community and the hard work of the gala committee has allowed them to do at the center. It truly is humbling. They thank you for the opportunity to care for your children and are looking forward to the future!

a trait she instilled in her daughters. At the center of all of this was her faith. She had a rich prayer life and was a “prayer warrior” for those who needed it. She and Selmer were longtime members of the Warren Evangelical Covenant Church. Her greatest desire was for her family and friends to know Jesus. She was a saleswoman, and later manager, for Stanley Home Products for over 50 years. She and Selmer spent many winters in Mesa, Ariz. together. If you didn’t find her at the pool, she was probably off playing cards. Elaine is survived by her daughters: Tammy (Steve) Filipi of Rosemount, Minn., Terryl (Scott) Pearson of Sauk Centre, Minn., and Tonya Turnham of Grand Forks; brother Arlan (Lois) Amundson of Langdon; four grandchildren: Alicia (Daniel) Gagner, Ashley (John) Fisher, Kinsey (Ryan) Bain, and Keenan (Jennifer) Pearson; and four great-grandchildren: Ashtyn and Ayden Gagner, and John (IV) and Juliana Fisher. In addition to her husband of over 58 years, Selmer, Elaine was preceded in death by her parents, Emil and Alda, and siblings: Arvid Amundson and Avis Dau.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Pastor Jonathon Waterbury of Emmanuel Evangelical Church
Greetings Langdon! Pastor Jonathon Waterbury from Emmanuel Evangelical Church here. I am so honored and blessed to be able to provide devotions to the Republican for the month of June. I have been here for over a month now, and it’s amazing to me how fast this month has seemed to have gone at times and how slow this month has seemed to have gone. As I said last week, this is my first pastorate position. I gave you a glimpse last week about my experience of finding out that Emmanuel Evangelical Church wanted me to be their pastor. I had a wide range of emotions. This week I wanted to give a brief look at how I came to the Lord. I spent my high school years at a private Christian high school. It was here where I first felt a calling on my life to be in the ministry. Although I had multiple mentors in my life confirming to me the call to be a pastor, I never took the call the
Lord had on my life seriously. As a matter of fact, after I graduated in 2003, I stopped going to church all together. I took the route Jonah followed when God called him to Nineveh. It took about two and a half years for God to allow me to hit rock bottom, and I had no other choice but to sincerely give my life to the Lord and follow in the steps to be in the ministry. Now, I understand, not everyone has a calling to go into the ministry, but God still has a calling on your life whether it’s to be a mechanic or a pastor or whether it’s to be a doctor or the choir director. No matter how inadequate you may feel, trust that the Lord will bless you with the talents and gifts to fully walk with confidence in the calling He has on your life. “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.” Jonah 2:2 ESV

A funeral service will be held Saturday, June 19, 2021, at 2:30 p.m. in the Evangelical Covenant Church of Warren, Minn. for Elaine Heck, 81, of Warren, Minn., who died unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 29, 2020, following a Christmas weekend in which she got to see each of her daughters. Interment will be next to her husband, Selmer, in Greenwood Cemetery, Warren. Elaine Marie Amundson was born on January 24, 1939, in rural Langdon, to Emil and Alda (Johnson) Amundson. She was raised in Langdon and graduated from high school in Walhalla before attending college at Mayville State. On February 2, 1958, she was united in marriage to Selmer Heck in Vang. The young couple made their home in Langdon for a few years, moving to Warren in 1963. When Selmer started his custom combining business, she picked up the slack on the homefront during harvest and was the crew’s cook and support system. She had a tremendous heart for others and loved to provide hospitality. Whether through a homemade meal or a simple card to encourage someone she knew who was shutin, she was generous with her time-

Set a quit date during It’s Quitting Time Partners from the North Dakota Department of Health, Tobacco Free North Dakota, and North Dakota local public health units encourage all tobacco and e-cigarette users in North Dakota to set a quit date during It’s Quitting Time June 14-20. This week-long awareness campaign brings attention to the dangers of tobacco and nicotine while encouraging users to seek help quitting from a healthcare provider, pharmacist, NDQuits, or Cavalier County Memorial Hospital Trained Tobacco Treatment Specialists (CCMH TTS). These entities can help develop a quit plan and provide tools and resources to greatly improve a tobacco user’s odds at success. County Memorial Hospital Trained Tobacco Treatment Specialists and NDQuits provide additional support in the form of personal
coaching and nicotine replacement therapy medication. Free nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or nicotine lozenges are provided to qualified enrollees. Tobacco and e-cigarette use is associated with several health risks including many types of cancers, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19. E-cigarette use is also linked to E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), a serious respiratory illness that could be severe and life-threatening. “Resources are available at CCMH, so quitting tobacco and nicotine doesn’t have to feel stressful or overwhelming. You can stay tobacco-free for good, let us help you get there,” said Elizabeth Sillers FNP, TTS, with CCMH. “It’s Quit-
ting Time is a great opportunity to get help quitting tobacco and e-cigarettes.” Despite declining tobacco use rates in North Dakota, 17% of adults in the state still smoke.

Thursday, June 17 Lance Schill off to hot start at River Cities Speedway
Langdon driver Lance Schill has started his 2021 season right where he left off last season- in victory lane. Schill recorded three wins at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks during the month of May. Two of those wins came in his WISSOTA Midwest Mod; the other came on opening night in his Late Model. Running double duty in both classes each night comes with its challenges, but in addition to those three wins, Schill has only finished outside of the top 10 on one occasion through a total of seven races at River Cities. The multi-time points champion currently sits fourth in the Late Model standings at his home track and third in his Midwest Mod standings. Racing continues on Friday night at River Cities Speedway for Schill. The green flag drops at 7 p.m. By Mike Spieker
7:00 p.m.
These projects are supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.

L-E-M Cardinals shows pitching wins championships with first state title win
Cavalier County Republican
Cards allow just four runs in three games to win the 2021 State B Tourney; Finish with a 29-1 record BOXSCORE By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
After winning their first Region 4 title in 15 years, the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals high school baseball team didn't just make some noise at the State B Tournament but more like a sonic boom. They did this by winning three games at Jack Brown stadium June 3-5. The Cards beat Beulah in the first round 6-1, took down Thompson in the semifinals 6-2, then played their best game of the tournament in the championship, winning over LaMoureLitchville-Marion 9-1. It was the firstever state high school baseball title for Langdon-Edmore-Munich as a Cardinals co-op. Simon Romfo was named Class B Senior Athlete of the Year, and Josh Krivarchka was named Class B Coach of the Year. On winning the title, Coach Krivarchka said, "I thought what made us the most complete team in the state was our ability 1-9 to put the ball in play and make it tough on opposing defenses. Our freshman and sophomores really stepped it up near the end of the season and did a tremendous job for us. We got a lot of big two-out hits in the tournament that really shifted the tide in our direction. I would like to thank my assistant coaches. They do a tremendous job with these kids teaching them the fundamentals of baseball. A big shout out to the parents and their commitment to continue to build the baseball program in the communities. A huge thanks to Larry Stokke and his dedication to these young men. A big thanks to the Cavalier County Republican and KNDK for coverage both in the newspaper and on the radio; it is greatly appreciated by everyone across the state and country. Lastly, anyone who has supported these young men not only this year but over the years- thank you. These young men are great people, and they deserve everything that comes their way." Simon added, "To be the first team to win is special for this team and something we're all really proud of. I couldn't be happier with the team we had this year. It was a lot of fun, and this was the only way we wanted to go out." Here is a recap of the Cardinals three games at the state tournament: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 6, Beulah 1 In what would be a continuing theme through the tourney, the Cardinals jumped out early against the Miners to get the win. Simon Romfo smacked Beulah right in the mouth in the bottom of the first inning, cranking a two-run homer over the left center field fence. From there the Cards would put up three more runs in the bottom of the second, as Brady Regner and Markus Kingzett both singled- with a wild pitch and a passed ball- each bringing in a run for the Cardinals. The third came on an RBI ground out by Gage Goodman.

LANGDON-EDMORE-MUNICH 6, THOMPSON 2 T -- 110 000 0 -- 2 4 1 LEM -- 401 100 x -- 6 7 1 WP -- Simon Romfo; LP -- Kyle Odenbach Highlights -- LEM: S. Romfo 7 Ks 2x3 2 RBIs, Jack Romfo 1x3 2B 2 RBIs, Brady Regner 1x2 2 RBIs, Grant Romfo 1x4 2B; Jack Romfo would single in the fifth inning to bring home Simon Romfo to round out the Cardinals scoring. Grant Romfo took the mound for the Cardinals, and he was his normal, dominating self. He threw 78 pitches in five innings while allowing just two hits and striking out seven batters. Planning to save Grant for later in the tournament, Langdon-Edmore-Munich brought in Cooper Zimmer to finish out the game. He allowed two hits and one unearned run. It was over 100 degrees for this contest, and Grant said about the heat, "It made it very difficult during long innings on the mound, but when I got in the dugout I'd put on a cool towel to cool myself off. But personally, I enjoy pitching in the heat because it helps keep my arm nice and feeling good." Regner and Simon Romfo each had hits for the Cards, while Trapper Skalsky had two for the Miners. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 6, Thompson 2 Taking on the Tommies in the semifinals, the Cards again got off to a quick start. After Thompson got a run across in the top of the first inning, Grant Romfo would double in the bottom of the frame, which was followed by an RBI fielder's choice from Simon Romfo. After Mason Romfo was hit by a pitch, Jack Romfo nearly popped out on a bunt attempt, but when given new life, he lasered a double into the left field corner to bring in two runs. Brady Regner would follow that with a sacrifice fly to give the Cards a 4-2 lead. Regner had an RBI single in the third to bring home Cooper Zimmer, plus Simon Romfo had a run scoring single in the fourth to bring in Grant. Simon also took the mound for the Cardinals, and after having trouble finding the strike zone with three first

inning walks, he settled down and went the distance by throwing 122 pitches in seven innings. He was just three away from reaching the daily pitch count limit, and with him just making it, it allowed Langdon-Edmore-Munich to save senior pitchers Zimmer and Grant Romfo for the title game. Simon struck out seven batters and walked four. Regner also had a huge over the shoulder catch in left field to end a big Tommies threat. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 9, LaMoure-Litchville-Marion 1 The Cardinals showed the potential they have had all season in the championship game versus the Loboes. The Cards got contributions up and down the lineup, with eight out of their nine batters getting hits in the game. Again, the Cards got off to a fast start with three hits in the first inning from Grant Romfo, Mason Romfo, and Cooper Zimmer, who had a two-out, two-run single. Two hit have been huge for the Cardinals all season, and it was again in this game in the fourth when Carter Tetrault singled to set up a tworun double by Grant Romfo to make the score 5-0. Langdon-Edmore-Munich blew the game open in the fifth when Mason Romfo, Zimmer, Jack Romfo, Markus Kingzett, and Gage Goodman all had hits to make the score 9-0. Simon Romfo just missed ending the game by the 10-run rule, launching a ball into the stratosphere, but it was just a foul. Zimmer threw the best game of his career in the title game when it counted most. He needed just 87 pitches to get the win on the mound, allowing just four hits along the way. Zimmer and Mason Romfo led a 14 hits Cardinals attack with three hits apiece. Kingzett and Grant Romfo each had two. As good a game as Zimmer had, he was the first to applaud the Cardinals younger players for coming through the whole tournament, saying, "All of us seniors are extremely proud of the younger guys who stepped up and came through in big situations. Dawson Hein really had to step up big with Jack Romfo not being able to be out in the field. We seniors thank all of the underclassmen for bringing their all everyday at practice and in games." The Cardinals dominated the Loboes from start to finish in their biggest game to notch their first state title.

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Cardinals baseball adds another state title to the school trophy case Let's start this week with news that I'm sure you have seen throughout this week's paper. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich won a long sought after state championship in high school baseball, winning the State B Title at Jack Brown Stadium in Jamestown in the tourney that was held June 3-5. For the schools involved in the Cardinals co-op, this is the first hardball title for Langdon, and the third each for both Munich and Edmore. Munich was making their 15th appearance at a state tournament, while it was the third for Edmore and the second for Langdon. It's great stuff for all three schools, and everyone around the area is taking pride in the fact that they not only won the title, but had three convincing wins to get it done. Romfo first ever Class B player to be named Senior Athlete of the Year in baseball and football in same school year There was more good news coming out of the State Baseball Tourney, as Simon Romfo was named Class B Senior Athlete of the Year, and Josh Krivarchka Class B Coach of the Year. For Coach K, it is his fifth state coaching honor, to go with four straight in the Class A 11 Man football ranks.
It's even more special for Simon, because from what we have been told and from we have researched, this is the first time EVER that an athlete has been named outstanding senior athlete of both baseball and football, which he won in the fall, in the same school year. But he will be the first to tell you that he couldn't have done it without all of his coaches and teammates over the years. He also said his twin brother Grant was especially responsible, as they always pushed each other to be at their best. So not only did the Cardinals get their first title, they also have another first with a player making North Dakota sports history. Langdon Red American Legion Baseball is underway Right on the heels of the high school baseball season is the start of American Legion Baseball, and the Langdon Red Sox got their season off to a great start with a 19-1 win at Minto on June 8, as Markus Kingzett threw a one hitter, with Simon Romfo hitting two home runs, and Brady Regner smacking another. Weather permitting the Red Sox
had their home opener on June 11 versus Park River, and are scheduled to play at home against Midway-Minto on June 17. Langdon has three players coming back to the team after a year in college in Jackson Delvo, Brennan Kitchin and Peyton Ullyott, which will strengthen an already strong team. Tournament season continues at the Langdon Country Club It's a crazy busy time at the Langdon Country Club. All leagues are in rolling right along, and tournaments are continuing to ramp up. The 26th Annual Cavalier County Memorial Hospital Foundation Charity Golf Tournament is happening on June 12, and there were still opening to 2-person teams, just be at the course to register at 9:00 a.m., with the tee off at 10. Meanwhile the Langdon Area School District Foundation Tournament is coming up on June 19. Contact Chalmer Dettler at 701-256-5431 to sign you 4-person team for that event. "See ya!" next week!

Agriculture
Anitha Chirumamilla Ag & Natural Resources Agent Cavalier County Extension
Scout for Cereal Aphids in Small Grains I have seen a lot of winged aphids flying and noticed a few aphids in wheat. Aphids fly in during this time of the year with the southerly winds. The aphids we see in the beginning of the season will be found on the underside of the leaves and at the base of the plant. The aphids are tiny 1/8-inch long, greenish and pear-shaped aphids. Aphids can be winged or wingless. The most common species in ND are the English grain aphid, bird cherry oat aphid and greenbug. The aphids I found in wheat were English grain aphids (picture). Aphids are known for their rapid reproduction capabilities. They can double their populations in a matter of 2-3 days because aphids reproduce asexually and give birth to live babies. When temperatures are in the low to mid-80s F, conditions are favorable for fast reproduction. Cereal aphids usually have several generations in ND before dying off in the fall.

NDSU Extension Notes
Scouting: Scouting should begin as soon as cereal aphids are detected and continue up through the heading stage of wheat and barley. Cereal crops are most susceptible to aphid feeding injury from the vegetative to boot stages. Economic Threshold: To protect small grains from yield loss due to aphid feeding, the treatment threshold is 85% stems with more than one aphid present, prior to complete heading. Heavy infestations of cereal aphids can reduce grain quality (protein and test weight), especially in early growth stages of cereal grains. (Source: Janet Knodel, NDSU Extension Entomologist) Postemergence Herbicides in Wheat Herbicides work best when weeds are actively growing. In general, ideal temperatures for herbicide performance are the 70’s to mid 80’s for a high, with overnight lows not too cold. We can expect less weed control when temperatures are on the cool side and plant growth slows down. Spraying after a morning frost will provide poor results. On the other hand, weed growth slows down in extreme heat (especially if accompanied by dry conditions). So now we can expect reduced weed control as temperatures soared above the 90 degree mark late last week. Increased crop injury from herbicides is also a concern in extreme cold or hot conditions. Most questions coming in this week have been about spraying wheat in the heat since many wheat fields are reaching the critical time to spray POST herbicides. Spraying wheat in the heat of the day when temperatures are above 90 will certainly increase
the risk of crop injury. If a field has to be sprayed, then applications made in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler can help mitigate some of the injury. Keep in mind that we do not want to spray during a temperature inversion in order to avoid off-target movement of the chemical. Now for the other bugger this year: growth staging a wheat field for herbicide application. Many areas that finally received some rainfall two weeks ago are now looking at wheat anywhere from seedling to jointing…all within the same field. Some wheat herbicides have very narrow application windows, while others are flexible enough to allow application anywhere from emergence to boot. Knowing the growth stage window of your herbicides will be important to avoid crop injury and/or unacceptable herbicides residues if pre-harvest intervals are not properly followed. Page 16 in the 2021 North Dakota Weed Control Guide has a handy table showing the application timing for many small grain herbicides. Keep in mind that the herbicides with the widest window of application will not necessarily be the best herbicide for your given weed spectrum. Tight supply chains may also limit the ability to switch out a herbicide option. Many fields will need to be evaluated on a case by case basis in the coming days to determine the best time to pull the trigger on herbicide applications.
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent New Adventures for Summer Learning There are many great opportunities in our state that can be taken advantage of to help our children learn new things and have new adventures. I will always remember the times when we would pile in our car as a family and set out for a new adventure, whether it was to a zoo, a new park, a swimming adventure, an outdoor musical, or an exploration of a state or national park. Sometimes, we got to spend the night; other times, we just went for a longer day. There was the Wizard of Oz at Trollwood Performing Arts in Fargo-Moorhead, hand-dipping candles at a craft community, adventures at the state capital, visiting Turtle River State Park, and hikes in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, just to name a few. The value of continuing education during the summer is important, and adventures with your family can be a great way to enhance a child’s educational experience. Typically, a child will regress in the summertime because learning opportunities are not always utilized. A study done by American Education Research Journal published in July of 2020 indicates that 52% of students can lose 39% of their total school year gains during the summer months. Does that mean children need to sit inside and read or do math worksheets all summer?... NO! But, there could be different, new, and exciting adventures to be had that will enhance their learning potential for when school starts again in the fall. To encourage summer learning: • Have an adventure day where the children choose what they would like to do. Include research, planning, and even budgeting. It can be very simple (like a trip to someplace for a treat) or very complex (such as a weekend trip). The adventure and complexity would depend on the age and interests of the child.

Tract 2
Tract 1
• Have a family reading time every single day. Each family member would read for 15 minutes, and then the whole family could discuss what they read. You could even work on a budget for new books and provide chores to help reach the monetary goal for the new book. Often times, people use the excuse that it’s so nice out in the summer, that they don’t want to spend their time reading. There’s not much better than a hammock or blanket in the shade of a beautiful tree with a soft breeze and the rustle of leaves to keep you company while you read. • Nutrition education can be a fun way to work in all areas of learning! As a family, you could research nutrition, local produce, and how to grow them. You could read recipes together to choose one that works best for the whole family, budget for the trip to the farmer’s market or grocery store, and then make the food together. If you would like ideas of what to do around the table as a family, sign up for NDSU Extension’s The Family Table (https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ familytable) newsletter. • Choose a state park, natural grassland, or other outdoor area to explore. There could be research done ahead of time to learn all about the plants, animals, and insects that can be found in that area. A day trip could follow to explore all that had been learned and would make a great ending to the plan. • Choose a small-town museum to visit. Seeing the artifacts, reading the information about the area, and experiencing something new in a different environment is always interesting and fun. There are many more family adventures that would work to help your family continue to learn through the summer. Be creative and think outside the box! And, let’s be honest, everyone can benefit from a fun adventure, making plans, and educating ourselves about things around us and within our state. It’s beneficial, no matter what age, and there are always adventures to be had. I challenge you all to choose one for the summer, no matter what your age is!
Here’s a recipe to help you get started with your new summertime adventures! Colorful Veggie Kabobs This healthy recipe comes from NDSU Extension. Ingredients 2 medium zucchini, cut in 1-inch pieces 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch strips 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch strips 1 small pkg. cherry tomatoes ½ lb. mushrooms, quartered 1/3 c. oil-based salad dressing, such as Italian Directions If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for two hours prior to using to reduce charring. Thread vegetables alternately on skewers. Brush generously with salad dressing. Grill for three minutes; turn vegetables over, brushing with extra salad dressing. Grill for another three to four minutes until done. Not able to go outside? Try broiling the kabobs. Place an oiled pan with kabobs about 6 inches from the top of the preheated oven. Turn over once and cook until golden brown (about six minutes). Makes six servings. Each serving has 150 calories, 8 g fat, 5 g protein, 17 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber and 360 mg sodium.

How Hot Is It? As genial host of The Tonight Show for many years, Johnny Carson would from time to time walk before the cameras and center his jokes on extreme weather. Then the pre-prompted audience or sidekick would call out “How hot is it?” and jokes culled from many sources would become a classic monologue. One of my own favorites was “It was so hot the chickens were laying fried eggs.” Others featured groups walking in the shade of Orson Wells whose weight was giving his movie career problems or robins dipping their hot worms in an iced drink. The monologues became part of his trademark, and he won awards with his weather-related jokes. Some can be found on the internet today or in books of humor. Having lived through the year of the reported highest and lowest temperatures in North Dakota, I knew those stats were in the Langdon Centennial Book. We are told the highs and lows available from NDSU sources originated in diaries compiled by farmer Jules Lebrun who was farming south of Langdon in that era. Bill Klemisch also kept track of the daily weather during his lifetime, and in more recent years the Research Center has provided statistics. So far, 1936 has had both the highest and lowest temperatures, and the numbers given in the centennial book are -51 on February 16, 1936, and a sizzling 112 on July 17, 1936. In my aunt’s diary, it was actually -52 in April that spring on the exact day when my father died. We lived in Minnesota in those days but did know that the cold and hot spells were not one day wonders. The extreme temperatures seemed to hang on and to return for second or third visits. Weather watchers on the radio are predicting 2021 as another banner year. The hot, hot days of the recent baseball tournament are predicted to return again, possibly in June, but more probably in July or August. Weather people suggest air conditioning. Predictions are sometimes wrong. In 1936, the only fans we had were the paper kind you got at the fair or were provided to churches for use during funerals. A decade or so later there was a hot spell which apparently went to 104 before a storm, and maybe
some hail, lowered the temperature. Years later, working in Illinois, I learned about sleeping porches where residents dragged the mattresses off their beds and put them on an upstairs screened back porch night after night as temperatures soared. Then one day we found a big headline in the morning paper. JULY HEAT WAVE BROKEN! Underneath in tiny print were the words “today is August 1st” and the temperature remained at three digits. Home air conditioners were costly, so after work we would head for air-conditioned movies. I believe Some Like it Hot was one of the movies featured along with High Noon and other classics. Remembering Old Friends: Last week’s column had been planned to include some thoughts about recent funerals, old friends, and classmates, but I held off writing it waiting for the obituaries to be printed. June 4 marked the funeral for Bernice Rath, who had been my friend since we met at one of the first summer church camps held at Cooperstown after World War II. This was an old CCC camp from the 1930s with straw mattresses, no plumbing, a large tabernacle in the center for group meetings, a central pump for washing hands and drinking, and a river to swim in. Some of the girls at camp formed a pen pal group from all corners of the state and wrote to each other for years. We met again and were roommates at college and many other events. Bernice and I remained lifelong friends. She had a lifelong career as a teacher and as a pastor’s wife, but our paths often crossed. Coming to North Dakota to teach in 1970, I found Bernice and her husband had been assigned to Cavalier Trinity Church so saw them there and when they were stationed at Cando, Rock Lake, living in Devils Lake. as well as when serving Clyde, Hannah, and later Calvin and Sarles. Before they retired to Arizona, they made many friends in our corner of North Dakota. Around the time of her funeral, we got word of the passing of Dr. Dayton Burkholder on May 20 with services listed as pending as this is written. That led to contacting and being contacted by other classmates of one of the largest LHS classes before the missiles and the closing of outlying high schools in Cavalier County. Thanks to classmate Edna Bata who shared pictures from our 49th and 50th class reunions, plus memories of a multi-class event held at Nekoma a few years ago
Cavalier County Republican
Langdon Long Ago
and a worn-out directory, I began a new list dedicated to those who have died in the last year or two including Elaine Bohn Machacek, Dayton Burkholder, Marion Boe Iverson, Sam Scott and his wife, Audrey, and possibly others we did not hear about. I will possibly miss a few who went on to military service or married before graduation. Reunions included all who wished to attend, and all were invited. The alphabetical list (stars* indicate 12-year classmates) includes: Clara Agar Amoth, who had a real estate or travel business in Devils Lake before her death, and Joyce Agar Hanson, who met her husband, Gordon, when he worked at the Repulican and went on to many adventures (including being in a movie or two) before his death. She made her home in Rapid City and visited from time to time. Her sister, Betty (now Mikkelsen), was with our class part of the time. Fern Amoth Mattson lived in Moorhead. Lois and Willis Baker were the twins in our class. Lois married Bob Johnson, and they lived in Fargo. Willis lived in New Jersey and was planning to attend our fiftieth reunion when cancer claimed his life. Bessie Balsdon Penner spent much of her life in Starkweather and Devils Lake and died in 2012. Irene Balsdon Simons lives in Oregon. She was the original lady who made dishcloths for friends and relatives and distributed them on visits to North Dakota. Gerald Beiers* was in business in Langdon and in Montana and retired (?maybe) to a lake in Minnesota but was still out on the water or the slopes last I heard. Jerry and Barb welcomed their first great-grandchild just last year. Elaine Bohn and her husband, Chuck Machacek, were in business in Langdon until they settled in Arizona where she enjoyed Bingo and knew everyone at the Cavalier County picnics. Charlotte Buchweitz* Stander spent much of her adult life in Seattle and may still be playing the piano for events there. Dayton Burkholder became the medical doctor his mother had envisioned for his older brother (Ralph became a scientist) and had a clinic in Anoka, MN. He later was doctor for Minnesota State Prison on many Indian reservations with home-base in Rapid City, SD. Nola Chaput* Linser, our class president and organizer of many events, died in a tragic accident along with her mother and son in 1967. Daryl Crockett*, the first of three Crockett cousins to join our

class, is remembered for playing basketball and probably every other sport. He lived at Grand Forks and is now deceased. Noreen Crockett Bishop joined us from Wales for high school and spent much of her adult life in Spokane where she died some time ago. Shirley Crockett also came to Langdon for high school, and we last saw her at either the 49th or 50th reunion. She died in Arizona a few years later. Carrie Cuffe married Marce Charbonneau on skip day, we are told, and last we knew they were living in California after years of living in Michigan. News travels slowly, but we count her as living. Orville Lee Darling (we always knew him as Lee) makes his home in Wisconsin and Arizona but has been in business in Africa and other places down through the years. He usually gets to Langdon during the summer. Robert Domres began at Dresden and graduated from Langdon, married a Dresden area girl from St. Alphonsus (part of the reason classes from the two schools were friendlier than some other classes), and spent a long career with Burlington Northern as depot agent. Always interested in history, he compiled genealogy from his homes in Oregon and Arizona while battling MS for 40 years. He is now deceased. Allan DuBois also started out at Dresden and then retired to Langdon where he still lives. Rosemary Franta* Peterson married classmate Gary Peterson, and both went on to UND where Rosemary graduated as valedictorian of her class just before their wedding. Gary had military obligations, so it took him a bit longer. They both worked for Sundstrand in Illinois and probably Sundstrand in Seattle before Gary was offered a job at Formost in Seattle (a company begun by a Moscow Township neighbor) and rose to the top during his career there. Both are now deceased with their ashes brought back to North Dakota in recent years. Larry Funseth*, better known to sports fans as Bud, had a long military career and retired to Spokane where he died about 20 years ago. Robert Groom came to town for high school, went on to military service and college, and married Margaret Rusten. They have made their home in Minnesota for many years, and I last saw them at the Nekoma reunion. Gary Hart was valedictorian of our class, went on to be outstanding at NDSU, served in the Air Force and became Dr. Gary Hart, professor and textbook author who traveled the world from their home at Texas A&M teaching his specialty: genetics. Russell Howatt came to high school from Maida. He used to quiz people on the names of his brothers and sisters (one sister still lives in Langdon!). Russ made his home in California. Gretta Lawson Buller came from Concrete to work at Wenzel’s and also lived with the Aleson family. She went on to become an RN graduating from Bismarck Hospital and serving as nurse for Westmar College in Iowa where she met her husband Bruce, a pastor in training at the time. After serving several large churches, they retired to Rochester where she worked with hospitals there and in Bruce’s words “baked a million cookies a year for Ronald McDonald houses”. Gretta died in 2014. Rita Maisel* went on to Westmar as well and to colleges wherever I worked and also taught
and worked with schools wherever I worked. There is always more you can learn. Edna Marchell Bata also came from Dresden, was salutatorian of our class, went on to teach until she was married, and was a busy farmer’s wife. She and Joe traveled a lot, often curling in other states or countries. Victor Moore*was another wellknown sports star. When some of his family moved to the Seattle area, he followed and has made his home in Auburn for many years. We believe he is still living. Dixie Nelson Armbruster joined our class before high school and became a treasured classmate. She spent much of her adult life in the Seattle area, and we still miss her. Eunice Peterson Mutcher came from Loam Township and went on to teach school for many years. They lived in Grand Forks. For Gary Peterson see Rosemary’s notes. Marilyn Peterson Christianson, also from Loam Township, found her husband (or he found her) at Vang. She lives in the Fargo area now, and her father used to tell me all his granddaughters were nurses. Marilyn was not related to the other Petersons in our class. Bonnie Platzkow Hass and her family lived in White Bear Lake. Her sister, Delores Platzkow Evans, also graduated with our class and lived in California. We think one or both are still living. Jean Ridley Myers moved to Saskatchewan, and we have not heard from her for some time. James Rourke became an artist of renown, lived in Moorhead and Fargo, changed his name to O’Rourke, and has a gallery named for him. He died several years ago. Arnold Schneider moved to Milwaukee and died there in 2016. Sam Scott followed the oil trail to Tioga, Mohall, and other sites; knew more about fracking and other topics than most of us could absorb; and died in 2019. Betty Sperling married Richard Ellefson from the Clyde area, and they lived near Fargo and had a cabin in Minnesota. She died before our remembered reunions. Lillian Sturlaugson Stoelting, one of the loveliest ladies around, went to work at the Langdon Creamery after graduation, and a new teacher came in to buy ice cream. They were married a short time later. Most of their married life was spent in Fargo where some of their family still live. Sadly, cancer entered her life, and she collected an interesting array of hats for all occasions. Marilyn Walker* Scott was with us from day one and at all the reunions through the 50th and died quietly about six weeks after that event. Most of her life was spent in Hannah raising her daughters and running the Hannah Bar. Jim Welsh came to our class after grade school in Harvey Township, earned his credentials for teaching agriculture at NDSU, and went on to be a professor at universities in Montana and Colorado. We think he lives in Nevada today. Neil Welsh, a cousin, settled in Grafton where he died a number of years ago. Not mentioned previously but well remembered were Doris Shelp Klingenberg, Gerald and Carlton Flaten, Betty Erickson*, Buddy Ottem*, along with a long-time electrician Dale Soli, and retired to Colorado Bob Hahn as well as others living classmates will call to visit over. We suspect Wallace Osmon and Margaret Kertz had a soft place in their hearts for most of us.
