Langdon City Ordinances affecting Small Businesses By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer Commercial billing has been a debate for over two years with the city commission and local businesses in the Langdon community. Many businesses feel it’s not fair, and some feel the fees won’t make it worth working on a commercial property. What does this mean for businesses on the main drag? Will it be more common to visit people’s personal homes for services? And if so, what will Main Street look like in the next 5 years? Many of the businesses these ordinances affect, but are not limited to, are the beauty and personal care industries. Business and property owner Lance Schill built a rental property for businesses on Main Street. Doing his research, he had Ottertail and MDU hook up 6 different meters to separate these bills accurately. He was assured with one meter he would receive one bill. His rental spaces are now filled with tenants that have pre-paid their lease. With this ordinance, Schill will receive a bill of about $68 per rented unit. With leases he agreed to, this will take about 20% of the income he hadn’t anticipated. Schill did his research and reached out to Jason Busse (water) who told him he’d never go over the minimum and to not worry about it. Reaching out to Tom Beauchamp, head

of sanitation, he was told it was $5 extra per trash can that he could do, if necessary. Now, Schill will be billed these minimums per rented unit because what he was told now no longer stands true. On top of this large increase from city billing, his brand new property has tripled in property taxes. How much money is the city getting, and will this make it harder for businesses to stay open? Bottle Barn owner Scott Anderson from Jamestown flat out thinks it’s stupid. He bought the FM Mall and runs The Bottle Barn. “They’re acting like they don’t want businesses.” There are 8 business units Anderson has already been getting charged $95/ unit. That’s $760 /month from one building. The businesses on the main floor also share a bathroom and garbage can. Anderson mentioned he will be attending the meeting Monday, June 28th at 6:00 p.m. to voice his thoughts. Chelsea McGauvran, owner of HLC Studio, feels like it is overstepping to charge a building more than once. She thinks it should be charged by the meter. “What would other utility companies do? Would Ottertail charge per business or per meter? I could see needing to charge each business for garbage separately as that could become costly if all of the businesses accumulated a lot of trash. Perhaps then they could

offer different dumpster sizes/ prices to fit those needs. I realize the city needs that income they are making by using this method. Perhaps they can create a profit/ loss report and assess the areas that are not profiting. I think the city should do what they can to promote and support local business. More businesses per building could mean more tax dollar income.” Michelle Anderson, owner of Infinity Nails, and Jocelyn Jennings, owner of Langdon Electrolysis Clinic, both own and operate their own businesses out of the same space. Jennings is a stay-at-home mother to her 4-month-old daughter and works 2 days per week. With this ordinance, the property owners have said the extra charges to the property owners will be passed on to the businesses to pay. Working 2 days per week, this additional bill will definitely hurt Jennings’s income. Jennings made the following comments, “For businesses in a shared space, this will be an additional cost with no added service or benefits to the user. This ordinance hurts the most vulnerable businesses in our community- those that are less established and have a lower profit margin. The reason businesses share a space in the first place is because they cannot afford to pay full rent and utilities on their own while maintaining a worthwhile profit. It will make it more challenging for those
as national pros. Canadian riders may or may not be able to compete this year due to international travel restrictions at the time. All MSS events have a 450 cc class qualifying race, a 450 cc main (comprised of the top 32
riders from the 450 cc qualifying races), and an Open class. The 450 cc class is restricted to modern 450cc four stroke engines with rubber tires and race gas. The Open class is for bikes 600 cc and larger multi-cylinder or 700 cc and larger single-cylinder engines.
MSS events may also include other classes if the hosts wish to do so. The Brick Mine Hillclimb has added a 700 cc class, which allows 451-700 cc 2 stroke or 4 stroke engines, any fuel type, and any tire to be used. Some bikes will run on 100% nitromethane, use tire chains or studs, and crank out about 250 horsepower! The Brick Mine Hillclimb is 750 feet long and features a long rhythm section leading up to a very steep hill that challenges the best in the nation. All classes will have a different route up the hill. Some riders enter multiple classes so they will be racing different routes on different bikes. “We have awards for the top finishers in each class,” said Jelinek, “and also cash prizes for the top eight finishers in the 450 main and the top ten finishers in the 700cc and Open classes. We have an approximate payout of a $12,500 depending on the number of rider entries. This gives the riders a lot to compete for so the competition is tough as there is a lot on the line.” Registration for the Brick Mine Hillclimb is open now cont. on page 2
Family Fireworks Show set for July 3 By Linda Timian Republican Writer
The Emmanuel Evangelical Church of Langdon will be sponsoring their Sixth Annual Family Fireworks Show on Saturday, July 3rd at the Langdon baseball diamond. The patriotic show will start at dusk, around 10:00 p.m., and begin with a Color Guard, National
Anthem, and a few words by Pastor Waterbury. The idea for the Family Fireworks Show was presented to Emmanuel’s Outreach Committee 6 years ago. Sheila Schanz has been a member of the committee since that time
and is currently the chairperson. “The whole committee, plus many other church members, have participated whenever and wherever we need them,” said Schanz. “We are up early the next morning combing the baseball field for every piece of debris that has fallen,” said Schanz. Kevin Landsem, Trent Pe-
terson, and Shawn Amundson do an awesome job assembling and igniting the fireworks. They have 22 racks of 50 tubes each to stage them in. The racks were built over cont. on page 2

Cavalier County Memorial Hospital makes site improvements for staff and patients Dear Friends, As the world starts to “go back to normal,” in the pandemic, the CCMH team is working on campus improvements this spring and summer. The campus improvements include flowers and artwork in the courtyard, new curbs and painted lines in the parking lot, concrete repair and painted trim on the exterior of the building, and new shrubs and plants at the main entrance. Studies have shown that people are strongly affected by building façades. If the façade is interesting, it affects people in a positive way; negatively if it is simple and monotonous. Our patients, staff, and visi-
tors deserve an environment that is engaging and comfortable. With these cost-effective improvements, we provide an environment where patients want to seek care and staff want to provide that care. We have been serving the community since 1971. The building improvements are just one way to celebrate this achievement. We are planning a celebration for area community members and staff to share
the building improvements and 50 years of care with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, mobile diagnostic services, and visiting specialists, to our outpatient clinics in Langdon and Walhalla. As always, we thank you for your continued support of Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinics. Yours in good health, Jeff Stanley

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Sitting on a ‘gold’ mine Is it possible these days to create wealth, wealth that comes from an idea or a product that doesn’t currently exist in this part of the world? Of course, it is, but in order to make money, you have to spend money. That’s the unfortunate part of this scenario. As the saying goes, no risk no gain. In this case it’s property, or the lack of it that hinders someone from pursuing that wealth that is available, primarily because of a perceived consumer demand. For instance, this idea takes property and uses it to produce an agricultural product. Numerous inquiries about purchasing tracts of land in northwest North Dakota have not been successful. Large tracts of land aren’t readily available. The optimum would most likely be 640 acres but not farmland. In fact, the ideal scenario is the vast expanses of pastureland that exists in all 53 counties in North Dakota. Some are better than others, such as in the southwest, where there is more pastureland, less crop land and a more mild climate. Some of the landowners are literally sitting on ‘gold’ mines and don’t even realize it. This idea comes from the 10-15 miles of country from Linton west to the Missouri River. Standing Rock Reservation, Adams, Hettinger, Grant and Bowman counties; that part of Emmons County; Nelson County and Logan County are ideal for this purpose. Yes, if you start my program now, you can be on your way to financial independence, a winter home in Florida, no more late credit card fees, and you would own your own business. Here’s what it is... organic honey, hence the ‘gold’ mine. Most of us are aware that consumption of organic agriculture products is increasing at a 16 percent rate annually, and double digit increases have been happening since the NOP was established in 2002. Organic producers are fully aware of the number of times their customers have asked them about organic honey. It’s hard to get. The forest of New Brunswick, Amish country in Ohio, small farms in Florida, and
foreign countries are where you’ll find it. When it is found, it’s prohibitively expensive because there is so little of it. According to National Organic Program (NOP) protocol, bees stay within about a mile perimeter of their hive. This is where massive pastureland comes in. A lot of that property in North Dakota has never been sprayed with any kind of chemical and already is, de facto organic. If a landowner can prove it hasn’t been sprayed in the past three years, organic certification can be granted. Building an organic apiary is no easy task and would take some time and some money, but lo and behold, there would be a residual stream of income to go along with cattle that have always grazed the range land. People who own pastureland are most likely grazing their herds on “organic” pastureland and don’t even realize it. Some landowners say they are intimidated by the paperwork involved in becoming organic. Yes, initially, there is a lot of paperwork. But once it is completed, the paperwork becomes a working document, and many of those documents don’t have to be filled out every year unless something changes on the farm. Prairie Rose Organic Farm near Willow City is an example of an organic beef producer. Prairie Rose can name its price for its beef because of intense consumer demand. Honey would create the same revenue, and it’s hard to believe that in a state that produces 34 million pounds of honey per year, No. 1 in the nation, none of it - zero - is organic. It could be with a little initiative to complete some paperwork that would essentially give someone a license to name their price for their product. In addition, the North Dakota Department of Agriculture has an organic reimbursement program in which you can get up to 50 percent of your fee reimbursed. That drops the certification cost down to a minimum, so the only hurdle is that initial paperwork. Think about this for a moment: those consumers who seek out organic honey are finding it and purchasing it. It’s most likely coming from Brazil, and that’s unfortunate because the resource is here and easily available, yet nobody takes that initial step. We always hear “buy North Dakota products” or “Dakota Grown.” Here’s is a golden opportunity.
To regulate in the last resort Does Congress, under the Time, Place and Manner Clause of the Constitution, possess authority to “alter” or otherwise override state laws governing the conduct of congressional elections? That is the central constitutional question at the heart of the heated political debate surrounding H.R. 1 — the “For the People Act” — which will determine whether Congress can protect Americans’ voting rights that have been, or will be, restricted by the passage of some 60 state laws across our nation. What were the framers of the Constitution thinking when they wrote the Time, Place and Manner Clause? Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution states: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.” Alexander Hamilton, author of Federalist No. 59, explained the views, values and conclusions of his fellow delegates to the Constitutional Convention, when he stated that Congress has the constitutional authority “to regulate in the last resort the election of its own members.” He observed that in the entire Constitution, there is nothing “more completely defensible” than this allocation of power, since “every government ought to contain in itself the means of its own preservation.” The theme of “self preservation” was invoked again and again by the framers of the Constitution, and by those who approved it in the various state ratifying conventions. The concept of an “exclusive” state authority to regulate congressional elections, Hamilton explained, “would leave the existence of the Union entirely at their mercy.” State legislatures, he observed, could “annihilate” it by neglecting to pro-

vide for elections. James Madison, Father of the Constitution, shared Hamilton’s deepest concerns. He told the Constitutional Convention that he feared “uncontrolled” state authority to regulate elections. He warned that it was “impossible to foresee all the abuses that might be made of the discretionary power.” State legislatures might make arbitrary, manipulative decisions based on purely partisan interests. James Wilson, second in importance to Madison as an architect of the Constitution, was in full agreement and echoed Hamilton’s fear that “some states might make no regulations” on elections, threatening the very existence of Congress and the dissolution of the Union. Chief Justice Thomas McKean of Pennsylvania, stirred additional fears when he addressed colleagues in the Pennsylvania State Ratifying Convention. Congress, he stated, cannot be deprived of its authority to regulate elections since that would deny its authority to be “the judges of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members.” Uncontrolled state authority, moreover, might be exercised to annul an “annual Congress,” and destroy congressional power to “determine that elections shall be at convenient and suitable times” and to “prevent corruption or undue influence.” For a Convention that was animated by the need to strengthen the authority of the federal government in the face of the abysmal performance of The Articles of Confederation, which exalted state over national authority, the preservation of Congress and its ultimate authority to regulate “in the last resort” its own elections, plumbed the depths of the republican enterprise on which it had embarked. One measure of the founding generation’s understanding of the ultimate constitutional authority wielded by Congress in the regulation of elections may be seen in the acknowledgment of it by opponents of the arrangement. Elbridge Gerry, a framer from Massachusetts, writing on October 10, 1787, under the title of “Federal Farmer,” the most prominent series of anti-Federalist papers, explained the import of the Time, Place and Manner Clause in a lawyerly and moderate tone. Congress, he said, has the power to “regulate elec-
ND Matters: Can property be fairly assessed in small cities?
By Lloyd Omdahl The 2020 U. S. Census will once again report that the small cities in North Dakota are declining in population. Even before the new census figures were verified, the 2019 estimates indicated that the state had 218 cities with populations under 250 and 132 with populations of less than 100. As the population declines, so does economic vitality. Retail establishments in most small cities have disappeared; schools and churches have consolidated, the road out of town well-worn and property dropping in value. Assessors have three basic methods for determining property value
– replacement costs, income earned and market value. Since no one in a small town is going to replace property in a declining market and dying main streets have no income to capitalize, assessors are left with the market approach. But what is the market in a dying community? The standard rule is a willing buyer to a willing seller. In small communities, there are no willing buyers even though there would be willing sellers. In truth, there is no market to be used as the measuring stick for assessments. In cities experiencing a reasonable number of sales, it is possible to identify a semblance of market value. But there are not enough arms-length sales in small towns to provide a sound base for assessing. This is not the case in oil country where the flood of workers created
a strong market for housing. McKenzie County Recorder Katie Paulson noted from Watford City that: “We have a unique situation in our county as we had a multitude of sales because of the oil activities so we actually have had enough sales in the last few years to adequately measure our small town assessments in Alexander and Arnegard.” There are other small cities in oil country that benefited from current sales. In fact, there were situations where property sold at excessive prices because of the oil activity. For sure, none of the three methods for assessing work in dying communities where values are declining. As a result, assessments from town-to-town, county-tocounty must vary widely, raising the question of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment to

the U. S. Constitution. According to Professor Christopher Berry at the University of Chicago, who just finished a massive evaluation of property taxes: “the equal protection clause requires that all property of the same class - e.g. residential – be taxed at the same rate.” So what happens when someone builds a new house in a dying community? By the time the last nail is driven, the value of the house is only a fraction on a market that doesn’t exist. The owner should expect to amortize the investment by living in the house for many years. The new house could be assessed using the cost replacement method but that would not approach market value because one new house would not change the market and the law requires market value. The market test has to stand up to any kind or quality of residence.
tions. Were it omitted, the regulations of elections would be solely in the respective states.” Gerry’s concession was reiterated in various anti-Federalist tracts. Abraham Holmes, also a member of the Massachusetts State Ratifying Convention, was at pains to admit that, by virtue of the Clause, the power of choosing the time and manner of “representatives is wholly at the disposal of Congress.” Luther Martin, a framer from Maryland who campaigned against ratification of the Constitution, agreed: the authority over elections is “entirely left at the mercy” of Congress. Nearly 20 state legislatures, dominated by Republicans, have passed, or are considering passage, of roughly 60 bills that will make it much more difficult for minorities to vote. The rationale — “securing the vote” — reflects their view, demonstrably false, as we have seen, that the 2020 election was rife with significant fraud, which, in their estimation, requires reform measures to protect the “integrity” of American elections. Democrats, however, believe these measures represent an exercise in voter suppression. The constitutional issue is one of great moment for our nation. Voting rights — the hallmark of American Democracy — must be preserved lest our system melt into a form of government unrecognizable in our history and law. Readers may quarrel over the issue of whether the “For the People Act” is politically wise or desirable from a policy standpoint or whether it satisfies the needs of our democracy. But there is no question that Congress, as Hamilton, Madison and the rest of the founders determined, possesses the ultimate constitutional authority to regulate the time and manner of congressional elections. Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

In communities with mixed housing, the residences of the lower income owners tend to be assessed closer to real market than residences of upper income owners. This is true all across the country. There are two explanations for this inequity. First of all, cheaper houses tend to create more measurable market activity. Secondly, higher valued house do not move fast enough to create a market and people in higher valued houses can be more contentious. In the 1980s when farm property created a significant number of assessing problems, the legislature created a system of taxation by productivity instead of market. To be fair to property owners in declining towns, the state should design a new system, probably considering a simpler residual value system. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

Letter to Editor Voter Suppression isn't the American Way, or the North Dakota Way As one of the fortunate veterans to have served his country, and make it back home, I am devastated to see that the biggest threat to our Democracy and the basic, inalienable rights my fellow countryman gave their lives defending- is coming not from outside, but from within. Already, hundreds of bills have been advanced by Republican-controlled legislatures across the country aimed at making voting harder, and more restrictive. Worse yet, these politicians are using the same doublespeak and racist code words that haunted our nation's past in order to justify their anti‑majoritarian actions. We saw these very same actions in Nazi Germany, and we see them now with the totalitarian regimes in Russia and Syria. We say toourselves "that cannot happen here," but the sad truth is... it has already started.
America was founded on the principle that the people should decide their leaders in free, fair, and open elections. Not just rich Americans, or white Americans, or Americans who live in the cities - but all Americans regardless of ancestry or social status. I strongly urge Senators Hoeven and Cramer, and Congressman Armstrong to support the ‘For the People Act' and do the right thing: protect our right to vote. If we turn a blind eye to voter suppression, and ignore the marginalization of our own neighbors because of the color of their skin, the person they love, or the faith they practice, then we turn a blind eye to everything the men and women of our armed forces have sworn to uphold and defend with their lives. A person never truly dies if the ideals of a free society live on. But, when that ideal is diminished, so diminishes the light of democracy that they helped shine upon the world.

Heading Small Grains, Scab Risk, and a Few Fungicide Questions The heat is speeding up small grain development as heat units are accumulating at a record pace. Water stress is accelerating this pace even further, so the decision to apply a fungicide is here. Currently, the risk for Fusarium head blight to develop is low across the entire state of ND and Western MN. (Figures 1 and 2). We expect the risk to remain low until at least a few days. Wheat heading out Photo: Katelyn Landeis, NDSU Extens i o n Agent, Grand Forks
The Fusarium pathogen needs several days of high humidity to produce spores and infect small grain florets. Although, we had a day or two of rain, hot and dry weather will hinder Fusarium production and keep the risk for scab to remain low. Thunderstorm events might increase scab risk for very susceptible varieties-. However, this will be dependent on if additional precipitation is received this week, and if we have some dew in the mornings over the weekend. We are expecting scab risk to remain low for most. To help determine your risk in individual fields, visit either https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/cropdisease or http://www.wheatscab.psu.edu/ Do fungicides help with drought stress? Producers have also contacted us with the question if fungicides help reduce water stress. A very thorough and well-designed study by Nason et al. (2007) evaluated the effect of our commonly used strobilurin fungicides and a triazole fungicide on water-use efficiency in soybean, wheat and barley. Their study indicated that fungicides improved water-use efficiency in wellwatered plants. However, in waterstressed environments, fungicides actually decreased water-use efficiency (negative effect). This study
supports once more that fungicides should be used for control of fungal diseases. Is there a yield benefit? The greatest yield response from a fungicide occurs when fungal diseases are present. Fungicides do not alleviate drought stress, nor can they increase yield - simply put, fungicides protect yield. As the yield potential dwindles because of drought stress so will be the portion that can be saved with a fungicide should diseases have a chance to reach economically damaging levels. After all, 5% of 80 bushels is not the same as 5% of 30 bushels. To get an estimate on the yield response of a fungicide in a heat stressed, low scab risk crop and with no fungal leaf diseases present, we went back through some of the research data collected in Fargo. In trials conducted in 2012-2014, the research trials in Fargo had very low scab risk, but had either some leaf rust, stripe rust or fungal leaf spots present on the flag leaf. In these trials, the yield response from Prosaro, Caramba, or Folicur (generics) was approximately 3%. Those yield responses were likely the result of managing fungal leaf diseases in these trials. Given that 2021 has very low foliar disease pressure and low scab risk, we would expect an inconsistent and very low yield response if a fungicide is applied at early-flowering.

Un-named Rooster Chronicles
by Heather Duerre of Walhalla Yet another battle is ensuing at the farm. This time it’s not me vs. Mike trying to save turkeys... this battle is me vs. the un-named rooster. Things between us were fine at first. He protected his ladies, and I collected eggs without any hassle. That is until today. Today was different... I walked in as normal, but “un-named rooster” gave me the stink eye wherever I walked. He started following me, but when I would face him - he ran away. That is until he got brave and decided I must die this very day. He came at me wings in full motion ready to peck once he got close enough. Naturally, I defended myself with my bucket of eggs and narrowly escaped his wrath. I made it outside the fence when I realized I had broken two eggs in the process of fighting for my life. That was not ok, so I challenged the “un-named rooster” to a rooster battle. His wings flap-

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Summer Friendships A little while ago, I received an unexpected text from a childhood friend. We have not had contact for a few years other than the occasional text, but it occurred to me how much I miss her when she sent the random message. We are completely opposite in looks and personality, but for some reason our friendship was strong for most of our younger years, and we made time for each other no matter the circumstances. It’s interesting how our lives turned out and how we are in a place that is so different from where we started, but it seems like we can just pick up right where we left off the last time we got together. Summertime often flies by in the blink of an eye, but it’s also a great time of year to rekindle old friendships, strengthen new ones, and foster those you would like to have. Spending time out doors in nice weather, finding nicer and more predictable travel weather, and having different opportunities to get together makes this season a time to help us with friendships. Summer seems to be a time of year people make plans to get together for reunions of all kinds, and reuniting with old friends can be one of them. Friendships are extremely important for a person’s mental and physical well-being. Friends are people in which you can rely on, do things, and share life experiences (both positive and negative). People who have steady, lasting friendships tend to have a more balanced life, are more positive, and are healthier physically and mentally. One thing about friendships is that they are often fluid in nature. Of course, there are a few of those relationships that have been since birth and will continue until death, but those are actually not as common and the fluidity of friendships based on life circumstances. Often times we are more likely to have close friendships with those people we have the most in common with at the time of our friendship development, and when that commonality changes, so does the friendship. There have been several studies about friendship that have all found that friendship leads to a more satisfying life perspective from individuals. The stronger the friendships, the more likely a person will be able to withstand diseases, heal from those they do contract, as well as have a feeling of well-being. Life expectancy increases for those with satisfying personal relationships, and people tend to report a more general feeling of enjoying life when they have friendships. Friendships can be nurtured through a few simple, easy ways. 1.) Listen. It does not require feedback other than a head nod, a smile, or an acknowledgement of understand-

ing. There is no advise needed. Just a listening ear. 2.) Open up. Share how you feel about things in your own life and let your friend be a part of it. 3.) Be kind. Show kindness in all ways and in all things and friendships will naturally happen and be maintained. 4.) Trust and show trustworthiness. Keep secrets a secret and trust that your friend will do the same. Share experiences and be responsible and dependable. 5.) Show interest. Make it all about your friend and not all about yourself. Relationships have give-and-take. Just make sure you are making deposits and not always withdrawing. With the summer being as nice as it has been so far, maybe asking a friend to go for walks with you or a grilling experience would be the way to help foster or renew friendships. Invite someone over for a cook out and try some new, nutritious recipes while you try to rekindle or start the friendships you have been meaning to pay attention to lately. You will be nourishing your body while you nourish your soul. Here are some recipes from NDSU Extension to help you get started. Grilled Hot Wings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes 24 skinless chicken wings 1 c. pineapple juice 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 2 Tbsp. brown sugar 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 hot chile pepper, diced 1/2 tsp. ground allspice salt and pepper to taste Preheat grill. Combine all ingredients (except chicken wings) in a small saucepan and let boil for two minutes. Remove from heat, pour into a large bowl and let cool. Add
chicken wings to the marinade and marinate in the refrigerator for two hours or more. Grill over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked through. Serve chicken wings with celery and carrot sticks. Makes six servings. Per serving: 190 calories, 4 grams (g) fat, 11 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber, 26 g protein and 95 milligrams sodium Grilled Vegetables Cut your favorite vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, onions, zucchini, summer squash, potatoes) into chunks. Lay out a piece of aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place vegetables in a bowl; add enough olive oil or cooking spray to coat. Season with your favorite seasonings (Mrs. Dash, lemon pepper, thyme, rosemary, garlic, etc.). Toss to coat evenly. Pour vegetables onto aluminum foil and seal all sides. Place on a preheated grill. Cooking time varies depending on size and type of vegetables. Most vegetables need four to five minutes, then stir and grill for another three to four minutes until vegetables are crisp tender. Potatoes may take longer (30 to 40 minutes), so you may want to do those separately. If there is anything we can help you with here at the NDSU Extension Office in Cavalier County such as finding other grilling recipes, please call us at 256-2560, stop in and visit with us, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. Whether you text a friend you haven’t seen for a while, call someone, write a letter, go for a walk, or invite others for a grilled meal, I hope you find the peace and comfort friendships can bring to your life.

Pat Hodgins
Funeral services were held at Hope Covenant Church in Grand Forks on Friday, June 25, 2021, for Pat Hodgins, 77, of Grand Forks and formally from Hannah, who passed away June 18, 2021, at her home in Grand Forks. Pat was born in Langdon on May 23, 1944, to the late Vernon and Helen (Amble) Sherratt. She grew up in Sarles, graduating in 1962 with the last graduating class of Sarles High School. She married Roland “Gail” Hodgins on June 17, 1962, at the Sarles Presbyterian Church. They made their home on the “townline” 4 miles west of Hannah on the Hodgins Echo Farm, where they raised their 3 daughters. Throughout her life, she was involved in church activities at the Hannah Presbyterian Church and was also involved with the Order of Eastern Star in Hannah, Sarles, and later in Rolla. She was Worthy Matron of Doric Chapter in Hannah and later Worthy Matron of Eureka Chapter in Sarles. She was also the first woman Supervisor in the state of North Dakota. She served on the Cavalier County Soil Conservation board, replacing her Uncle Percy McLean of Sarles. She also worked several years at the Hannah Cafe
and Grocery. She was known for her beautiful flower gardens on the farm. She loved to spend hours out in her perennial gardens tending her flowers. She was also an avid quilter; she made many quilts for family and friends. She also turned her woodworking hobby into a small cottage industry under the name of Echo Creations for several years. She enjoyed going to her grandchildren’s school activities, from music and dance performances to sports activities. Pat is survived by her husband, Gail Hodgins; three children: Carla (Brian) Haaven Buchholtz of Grand Forks, Steph (Vince) Hodgins-Lentz of Christine, and Allison (Jefferson) Bey of Fargo; sister Connie (Charles) Johnson of Rotonda, Florida; seven grandchildren: Samantha (Garrison) Sunderland of Battle Creek, Mich., Megan (Matt) Bauduin of Fargo, Jon Haaven of Grand Forks, Julia Magnus (Eddie Palacios) of Battle Creek, Mich., Hannah Lentz of Fargo, Hunter Lentz of Christine and Gabriella Bey of Fargo; and three great-grandchildren: Kaius Sunderland, Amara Sunderland, Ilara Sunderland and Greta Bauduin. She was preceded in death by her parents and her oldest sister, Sharon Brink. Arrangements were with Amundson Funeral Home of Grand Forks.
A service was held on June 24, 2021, at Brooks Funeral Home in Langdon for Karen LaPorte, 72, of Langdon, who passed away June 18, 2021, at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks. Burial was at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Mt. Carmel. Karen was born July 6, 1948, in Langdon, to George and Mary (Schwartz) LaPorte. Karen attended country school in rural Langdon. She then stayed home to help care for her family. She enjoyed bird watching and loved raising many animals. She also enjoyed garden-
ing, tending to her flowers, baking, cooking and canning. Karen was so kind to everyone she met and had many friends. She is survived by her brother, Darryl (Alverna) LaPorte of Walhalla; and sisters: Marge Beauchamp of Osnabrock and Marlene and Judy of rural Langdon.

United Methodists in North and South Dakota, discern future amid tensions The United Methodist Church continues to face challenges related to the denomination’s decadeslong, intensifying debate over the status of LGBTQ+ people within the life of the Church. More than 350 voting members of the Dakotas Conference, the regional body of United Methodist Churches in North and South Dakota, meeting June 11-12 in a hybrid format, addressed some of these challenges, proposed ways to address it amicably and maintain relationships, and celebrated shared ministry. “My friends, these next months are going to be challenging for The United Methodist Church. Thank you for being the church of our Waymaker, Jesus Christ, eager to share the hope that is in us,” said Bishop Laurie Haller, in her first sermon to the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. In anticipation of pending legislation and action of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church, the denomination’s top lawmaking assembly — postponed twice by pandemic— Bishop Haller and the Dakotas Conference Cabinet, have put processes in place for congregations across North and South Dakota, to listen, discern, and move forward into the future. The Dakotas Conference Strategy Team is focused on how new and continuing Methodist expressions might share mission and ministry across denominational lines as well as support to equip churches and leaders in navigating future changes in our denomination. A new task force will focus on beginning to clarify and articulate the vision and values for those who feel called to remain in the Dakotas Conference of The United Methodist Church. Voting members affirmed all legislation put before them during the 28th session of the Dakotas Annual Conference including: the ratification of a disaffiliation agreement allowing Prairie Winds Church in Dickinson, North Dakota, to leave The United Methodist Church; affirmation of a resolution advocating for the inclusion of all people in the life of the church; and voting yes to a resolution calling for boards
and related agencies of the Dakotas Conference to begin planning for a separation of the denomination. In March of 2021, Prairie Winds United Methodist Church in Dickinson, North Dakota, voted to disaffiliate from The United Methodist Church in compliance with the Dakotas Conference process for disaffiliation. The final step of the disaffiliation process is the ratification of an agreement written in cooperation with the Dakotas Conference Treasurer, Board of Trustees, Chancellor, the local pastor, and local church board of trustees. The agreement outlines obligations and next steps related to property, financial responsibilities, and church records. The agreement was ratified on June 11, 2021, by the Dakotas Annual Conference, with 233 members voting yes and 122 members voting no. Resolution 1.2 A Vision for a More Just Church (view on page 5) urges the Dakotas Conference to welcome LGBTQ+ persons into leadership, including actions of the Board of Ordained Ministry regarding candidates for ministry, local congregations to welcome and include LGBTQ+ members in full participation, respect clergy’s discernment on marrying same-sex couples. Furthermore, it urges the bishop to refrain from conducting clergy trials. The resolution was affirmed by a vote of 179 yes votes and 172 no votes. This resolution is currently under judicial review as to compliance with the 2016 Book of Discipline. Resolution 1.3 Resolution to Prepare for a Denominational Separation (view on page 6-7) directs the Dakotas Conference to act in the following manner to prepare for a potential denominational separation: • The Common Table recognizes prospective leadership. Board of Pensions and Dakotas United Methodist Foundation prepare to serve multiple Methodist denominations. • Conference Council on Finance and Administration prepare a proposal of equitable division of cash and investments. • Camp and Retreat Ministry Council prepare a proposal for a
shared camping ministry across denominational lines. • The Missional Impact Link prepares to independently incorporate Spirit Lake Ministry Center and Solar Oven Partners and transfer land owned in Mission, South Dakota, to Tree of Life Ministries. • The Human Resources Committee provides direction to guide the personnel needs of the Dakotas Conference. These tasks are to be completed by the 2022 session of the Annual Conference. The resolution passed with a vote of 294 yes votes and 40 no votes. In other matters before the body, a 2022 budget was approved with a slight decrease in spending, nearly $40,000 was raised to address food insecurity in North and South Dakota, four clergy were commissioned as provisional elders, three were ordained as elders, the retirement of five clergy was celebrated, and the slate of nominations for all committees, boards and agencies was approved. Rev. Rachel Billups from Ginghamsburg UMC in Ohio rounded out the event, teaching about following Jesus through difficult conversations and reimagining the church post-COVID. Bishop Haller thanked the members for their enduring commitment and passion for the work of the church. “Thank you for staying the course over these last fifteen months of COVID by reinventing yourself in ministry and doing everything you can to embody the good news of Jesus Christ. Thank you for living out the vision of the Dakotas Annual Conference for all congregations to embrace God’s call to grow in love of God and neighbor, reach new people, and heal a broken world.” About the Dakotas Conference: The Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church is one of 54 annual conferences in the United States and 75 additional annual conferences internationally. The Dakotas Conference has a membership of 35,000 and 235 congregations. The central office for professional staff and ministry for United Methodists in North and South Dakota is in Mitchell, South Dakota.

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Jonathon Waterbury of Emmanuel Evangelical Church
Here at Emmanuel Evangelical Church we are two weeks into a sermon series called “Collide”. This series is about the Christian Worldview and the belief system of the world heading for a collision. The point is that you have to choose between trusting God’s Word or trusting what the world is selling you. Many times Christians try to toe the line between both. They try to have the best of both worlds. They want all the earthly pleasures and philosophies but want the assurance of eternal life. However, it does not work that way. As we see in 1 Kings 18 there is the well known story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Elijah challenges the prophets to see which God is the true God. They both build alters each to their own God and whichever alter is set ablaze that is the God the people will follow. So the prophets of Baal go first; they start chanting and praying and nothing happens. Around Noon Elijah starts mocking them by saying “is your God asleep? Maybe he is relieving himself!” This enraged the prophets who began to chant louder- even to the point of cutting themselves. This was to no avail, so it was Elijah’s turn. Once he built the alter and placed the bull on there, he instructed that four jugs of water be poured on the alter, not once but twice. Long story short, the God of Elijah answered the call and set the alter on fire. Elijah asks a question that is still pertinent to today. In verse 21 he says “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the LORD is God,
follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” He was asking then the same question I’m asking to my church and now to all who read this. Who do you serve? Do you serve your lusts and desires? Do you seek to store up many treasures on Earth and go along with their worldview, or do you chose to lay everything down, including your life, and follow the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords? There is no middle ground; you have to make a choice. One choice leads to the broad road which leads to destruction, and the other road leads to eternal life. Jesus says “you cannot serve God and money, for you will love one and hate the other.” You can substitute money for the world if you want, and the same message applies. I implore any who may be reading this, if you haven’t made Jesus the Lord of your life, it is not too late. As long as there is breath in your lungs you have time. You have not out-sinned God’s Grace. Jesus paid for every sin of every person while he was on the Cross. All you need to do is “confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that He rose from the dead and you will be saved!” Now you may be reading this and have already made the decision to follow Jesus, but you have been trying to also live in the world. God is waiting for you to come home to Him and rededicate your life to Him. Scripture says that He stands at the door and knocks. All we must do is answer the door. God bless you all.

Post 98 Red Sox stay hot, and unbeaten, beating M-M, Grafton had two hits for Langdon, while By JAKE KULLAND BOXSCORE Jack Romfo led the team with three Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon Red Sox Post 98 American Legion Baseball team stayed on a long home stand with three games at American Legion Field versus Midway-Minto on June 17, Grafton June 21 and MayPort-C-G June 23. The Red Sox beat M-M 10-0, outlasted Grafton 1-0 in eight innings, and beat the Patriots __ - __. Langdon will hit the road for their next three games, at Grafton June 28, at Park River June 30, and at Hatton-Northwood July 2. The Sox are now a perfect 8-0 on the year, and now 4-0 in District 5 Legion contests. Here is a recap of their last three games: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 10, Midway-Minto 0 (6 Innings) In the first game of their latest run, the Red Sox got an early lead in the first inning with the help of two M-M errors, and an RBI single by Cooper Zimmer, followed by a run scoring ground out by Jack Romfo. Langdon would add four more runs in the fourth inning, on hits from Peyton Ullyott, Markus Kingzett, Carter Tetrault, Jack Romfo, and a two-run double by Brennan Kitchen. The Red Sox would get two more runs in the bottom of the fifth, when Jackson Delvo scored on a wild pitch, followed by Brady Regner hitting a sacrifice fly to bring home Ullyott. Kitchin would walk to start the sixth, and later Delvo would double him home to win the game by the 10 run rule. Zimmer took the hill for Langdon, and struck out seven batters in six innings of working, giving up just three hits and walking one M-M batter. He and Ullyott each
runs batted in.

Simon Romfo was on the mound for Langdon, and AJ Votava from Grafton. Romfo would retire the first seven batters he faced, and had 11 strikeouts in the game. Votava got into a little early trouble, but settled down and at one time retired 10 Langdon batters in a row, while racking up 13 strikeouts. Both teams would have scoring chances throughout the game, but no runs came across in regulation innings. So it was free baseball, and the Red Sox got the game winner in the bottom of the eighth inning. Carter Tetrault would reach on an infield hit to start the frame, followed by a walk to Grant Romfo. Simon Romfo would then come up and bounce a base hit down the right field line to plate Tetrault and win the contest by the slimmest of margins at 1-0. Grant and Simon Romfo each had two hits in the game, while Grant and Jackson Delvo each had doubles.
LANGDON 1, GRAFTON 0 (8 Innings) G -- 000 000 00 -- 0 3 7 L -- 000 000 01 -- 1 7 1 WP -- Simon Romfo; LP -- AJ Votava Highlights -- L: S. Romfo 11 K's 2x3 RBI, Grant Romfo 2x3, Jackson Delvo 1x3 2B; G: Votava 13 K's 1x3 Langdon 2, May-Port-C-G 0 In the last game of their three game run, the Red Sox hosted MayPort-C-G, where threw their ace for the game, Sawyer Satrom. Langdon countered with one of their aces in Grant Romfo. Like the Grafton game before it, this would be another great pitchers duel, as runs and hits would come at a premium. The only runs of the game would happen in the bottom of the third inning. Brennan Kitchen smoked a double to left centerfield, which was followed by an infield hit by Jackson Delvo. After Carter Tetrault walked, Grant Romfo came up and hit a single through a drawn in infield to give his team and himself the only runs they needed. May-Port-C-G had their best scoring chance in the the top of the fifth, when they loaded the bases with two outs. But Grant got Reed Kitzberger to pop out to Kitchin at first to end the threat. Romfo struck out eight batters in a complete game seven inning performance to get the win, while walking four batters and only allowing two hits. Satrom stuck out six in the tough luck loss for the Patriots. Cooper Zimmer had a rare start at shortstop of the Red Sox, and was flawless in making several great plays to preserve the win.

The 2021 Shrine All-Star football game was held June 12 at West Fargo-Sheyenne High School.

were among the leading tacklers in a 28-21 East win over the West. Simon Romfo was named offensive player of the game, was 10 for 16 throwing for 147 yards and a 43yard touchdown pass, while carrying the ball nine times for 54 yards and a one yard TD plunge. Simon was the leading passer and rusher for his team, and he was named offensive player of the game. In the 9-Man game that followed, the East beat the West 30-24.
Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland
Shrine Bowl sees many area athletes shine Let's start this week by saying on this week's sports page you will see some of the great work of Larry Stokke of Picture This Photography, with some awesome shots of the North Dakota Shrine Bowl, which was held June 19 at West Fargo Sheyenne High School. Their were several players from all over the area that competed in either the 11 man or 9 man games. You can see some stats and info from it with Larry's pics, but just great to see so many athletes playing so well against the best competition North Dakota has to offer. Up next will be the Lions All-Star Basketball games coming in mid-July, which will feature Langdon-Edmore-Munich's Kaylee Lowery on the Class B Girls team. Langdon Red Sox unbeaten as they hit the road the next two weeks; New sprinkler system in at American Legion Field American Legion Baseball has been very successful in Langdon so far this season. The Langdon Post 98 Red Sox are unbeaten at 10-0 as they hit the halfway point of their season. The Sox are also 4-0 in District 5 games this year, and they will
complete their conference schedule this week, at Grafton July 28, and at Park River July 30. The Red Sox also have a non-conference game at a good Hatton-Northwood team on July 2. Langdon has just one home game left on its schedule, on July 15 versus Rolette. More good news on the baseball front is that the Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth team has also been on a tear, getting two big wins over Grafton, to push their record to 8-1 overall, and 7-1 in region games. It won't be long before we will be talking about the postseason for both teams, which seems crazy. Men's City Tournament coming to the Langdon Country Club June 29 This week at the Langdon Country Club, in place of Tuesday Men's League, the annual Men's City Tournament will be held. This is open to all male club members, and it will tee off at 3:00 p.m. Water is finally back running on the course, as the grounds crew had to manually water the course to last three weeks. A big shout to Kevin "Cocoa" Beauchamp and Paul Olson for getting that done. We want to give just as big a shout out to Derak Mostoller Electric, for their work getting water pump going, and sprinklers are back in action with water from "Lake Roy". Great job Derak, and whole club thanks you! "See ya!" next week!

Stay safe while using fireworks this Independence Day holiday Fireworks are a beloved tradition on Independence Day and using them requires care in order to prevent personal injuries and wildfires. The North Dakota Forest Service would like to remind you about important safety considerations while using fireworks. State Forester Tom Claeys said, “Fireworks are a timehonored tradition linked to the celebration of the 4th of July in North Dakota. Please be sure to practice firework safety to help protect lives and property from wildfire.” Before purchasing fireworks, be aware of any regulations or ordinances that would prevent you from using them. There are some communities in North Dakota that have banned the use of private fireworks already. Most counties still have a burn ban in effect that does
not allow fireworks on days with a fire danger rating of high, very high, or extreme, or if a red flag warning is in effect. Always visit the ND Response website at NDResponse. gov to first check that you are complying with your local burn ban. Wildland fires can still start, even in spite of the recent moisture many parts of the state have received. Keep a bucket of water nearby so that if a wildfire ignites, you have the ability to extinguish it quickly. Light fireworks away from people, houses, and flammable material. Only ignite one firework at a time, and never light fireworks on or near dry grass. If fireworks are allowed in your area, there are some tips you can follow to stay safe. Be sure to brace small fireworks on all sides so that
they do not tip over after you light them. After using fireworks, soak both spent and unused fireworks in water for a few hours before discarding. If you encounter a dud, do not place any part of your body over the firework; sometimes a seemingly dud firework could be delayed but still light. Only purchase fireworks from a licensed and approved dealer, and read the directions before use. Never point or throw fireworks at a person. Keep all unused fireworks away from the shooting area. Adult supervision is important—even when using sparklers—and do not use alcohol or drugs while using fireworks. Celebrate the birth of our nation safely by practicing these recommendations from the North Dakota Forest Service.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report – Northeast Regional Water District – 2020 We’re pleased to present to you the 2020 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the safe, clean water we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Northeast Regional Water District (NRWD) purchases its water from the city of Devils Lake water treatment plant and also supplies approximately 60.69 percent from the NRWD’s groundwater source in the Icelandic Aquifer west of Cavalier. The North Dakota Department of Health has prepared a Source Water Assessment for the city of Devils Lake and NRWD. This information will be made available at the respective offices during normal business hours. The city of Devils Lake and NRWD participate in the wellhead protection program, and copies of the wellhead protection plan are available from the city of Devils Lake and NRWD offices during normal business hours. Information of Devils Lake Source Water Assessment can be obtained from the city of Devils Lake, contact Joel Myhro, public works superintendent. Our public water system, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, has completed the delineation and contaminant/land use inventory elements of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on the information from these elements, the North Dakota Department of Health has determined that Devils Lake’s groundwater source from the Spiritwood Aquifer near Tolna is “moderately susceptible” to potential contaminants and the Icelandic Aquifer west of Cavalier groundwater source is “susceptible” to potential contaminants. However, NRWD’s board of directors has taken an aggressive position toward protecting the quality of the water source in the Icelandic Aquifer, particularly because of the fragile, leachable sands in this area. Within recent years, the district has purchased approximately 1,800 acres of land to establish a wellhead protection area around the production wells. Much research had been done to determine groundwater movement, annual recharge over the well field, and generally restricting the land to only “water-friendly” uses. In addition, restricted covenants with some area landowners have been entered into, whereas, those landowners agree to only “water-friendly” land use practices. The boundaries of the land purchased were determined on the basis of direction of groundwater movement and the zone of in-

Northeast Regional Water District would appreciate it if large volume water customers would please post copies of the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report in conspicuous locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and/or employees, so individuals who consume the water, but do not receive a water bill, can learn about our water system. Northeast Regional Water District routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to federal and state laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020. As authorized and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data [e.g., for inorganic contaminants], though representative, is more than one year old. The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production, and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. In the tables on pages 3 thru 5 you will find many terms and abbreviations with which you might not be familiar. To help you better understand these terms, we’ve provided the following definitions: Not Applicable (N/A) Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/L) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (μg/L) - one part per
billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10 million. Picocuries per liter (pCi/l) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT) - a treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - the “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the
MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants. Those contaminants listed in the tables above are the only contaminants detected in your drinking water. Unregulated contaminants are those for which the EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist the EPA
MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - the “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. Your water system monitors for a number of unregulated organic contaminants, which could indicate a

contamination of the water supply from a pesticide or petroleum spill or leak. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all federal and state requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a onein-a-million chance of having the described health effect. Nitrates: As a precaution, we notify physicians and health care providers in this area if there is ever a higher than normal level of nitrates in the water supply. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants, can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant woman and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Northeast Regional Water District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. Use water from the cold tap for drinking and cooking. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at www.epa. gov/safewater/lead. Tampering with a public water system is a federal offense. Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement immediately. Please call Jeremy Schuler, Manager, Northeast Regional Water District, at 701-265-8503 if you have questions concerning your water system. Northeast Regional Water District works diligently to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children’s future. Northeast Regional Water District is an equal opportunity employer. J28 ________________________________

Alumni Stories With an all school reunion scheduled at Munich this week and an upcoming similar event for St. Alphonsus a few weeks later, I took another long look at the 1976 Alumni Directory for Langdon and St. Alphonsus just to see who, of the older alumni, might still be living. That long look included a chance to see which of the original largesized families were represented in the available listings. Large families stand out from their pictures in the centennial books but matching them to the names of the graduates is another experience. Families tend to name their children for relatives, and the picture might be relatives from another family branch or a later generation. The index to the alumni directory, suggested by Ed Franta who was forward thinking, is a classic example of how repetitive family names can be. Part of this problem surfaced this year when I wrote about Lexis Olson being the newest addition to the Olson family graduates at Langdon. Readers assured me she must be “from one of those families who have twelve children”. The two largest Olson families I have found in Cavalier County were the Ole

and Oleana Olson family in Langdon (nine children who all graduated from Langdon High School) and the Ole and Helga Olson family from Loam Township with ten pictured children. Several, but not all of that family, graduated from LHS as well. Larger original families like the Dumas and Strands with 22 children each had no children graduating in Langdon since they lived closer to schools at Walhalla, Milton, and Osnabrock. I take the blame for errors in the directory index, but when faced with hundreds and hundreds of alumni names, the reasonable way to list them was by alphabetical order. If you ended up with four girls named Mary or several boys named Jacob, Henry, Edward, or Richard having the same last names, you could list them with a middle initial (if one had been provided) or by the year of graduation. Only once did this backfire: both St. Alphonsus and LHS had Richard Johnsons graduating in 1954. They did not claim to be related, and another Richard from a third family showed up a few years later. Back to the Olsons. Ed Franta counted how many were listed in the directory and wrote a story about them for his Frantacisms column. I had just claimed they outnumbered the other classes, and Ed put the 69 or 70 number into play for 1976 readers. While working with the lists, I had help in sorting
Langdon Long Ago
Olsons into families from many different directions but had not counted them myself. Year after year the list lengthened, but getting the names from the school was a problem. All of the earlier LHS lists had to be culled from graduation stories as privacy reasons prevented the school from giving out names. In more recent years they provide a list (if I ask) but do not give parents, addresses, or any other information. Much of that is what I eventually learn comes from grand and great-grandparents. As a result, from time to time additions have been made to the listing, but we know it is not complete. In 1998 the graduation story listed Chris Olson and then the phone started to ring telling me “you left out Charlie”, and they were right. Charlie Olson was graduating at Devils Lake at the same time as his brother, Chris, in Langdon, and the two schools arranged to have them receive their diplomas together. As a result I wrote a column titled “Here Come the Olsons” with 100 or more names, several of them with the same first names but different years of graduations. In the meantime, I have moved (more than once) and lost that column either to cyberspace or to misfiling or both. If anyone has a copy in a scrapbook, would you please share it with me? Even the date when it was written would be helpful. I have already

checked the 1998 Republicans with no luck, but if located we could run it again with any additions we can find. I do remember that when it first came out there were immediate phone calls about missing names and requests that I add in teachers named Olson who had also taught at Langdon School. There were no 1976 St. Alphonsus listings for Olsons although some of their alumni may have acquired that name through marriage. The first Olson to complete her schooling at Langdon High School was Ella Olson (later Liebeler) who passed the teaching exam around 1917 and went on to college. She did not get a diploma from LHS but taught for many years, was deputy county superintendent, and also a school board member. Her younger sister, Mable Olson Hanson, followed that path and also taught at Langdon Elementary before moving to South Dakota in the early 1940s. The Index lists two additional Ellas and two more Mables with different dates of graduation. There may be others who do not show up on the graduation lists down through the years but remain loyal alumni. Just this year I found no listing for the late Richie Lorenz who definitely fits in that category. This week’s column has vanished several times while being typed (a quirk of the computer), so I apologize for leaving out some of the suggested comments on this topic. Large families were a staple of the homesteading days and could be found all across Cavalier and Pembina counties. Since my family settled in Hay Township with others before the township was organized or named, I am most familiar with families who tended to send their children to Langdon or Osnabrock schools for high school. My grandparents had 12 children, but only the youngest had any high school and that one was my mother who worked for her room and board in Osnabrock. Two years later her niece followed her to Osnabrock, and other nieces and nephews graduated from Osnabrock and Calvin. Then in the 1940s other family members began attending LHS as well. That was a common pattern for Hay Township students. The original Livinggood family came from Ontario with fifteen children and settled in the same township. The first Livinggood to graduate from Langdon was a grandchild, Florence Livinggood Crockett, who wanted to teach school and did. The Bowles family to the south had ten children who all attended and graduated from LHS beginning in the 1940s. The Charlie Heck family with fourteen children began sending the oldest to LHS and then they moved to Osnabrock where younger children graduated. There were numerous large families in the McGauvran families in the SW corner of the township who passed teacher exams and began teaching (mostly female family members) but did not show up on graduation lists at Osnabrock until 1918 or so. Some branches of that family enrolled in St. Alphonsus for both elementary and high school. The Al Balsdon
family in the same township had 12 children as well, and some of the older boys went to school at Osnabrock, but when Barbara - who wanted to teach - chose LHS, her five younger sisters and two brothers followed her to that school. The choice of Langdon was often based on having relatives you could stay with or people who offered you a chance to work for room and board. This last circumstance appealed to many teenage girls who wanted to teach or work as a store clerk. Others worked as waitresses in local restaurants. School was important, but the larger families were frugal. If they did light housekeeping they brought provisions for the week to town with them on Monday morning and made them last until they got home Friday evening. Three or four Witzel sisters from a family of 12 had graduated at LHS around 1920, and some may have taught so I set out to check on them and found their sister, Thelma, was the mother of 13 children with at least half of that group plus a family of cousins (all Howatts) attending LHS at some point while I was in school, and it seemed every class had a Howatt or two. Opening full high schools at Sarles, Calvin, Hannah, Wales, Loma, Alsen, and in some townships as consolidated schools provided more opportunities for high school in the county, but lists of graduates were not always in the centennial books so have been lost to those hoping to research them. That was a major project I worked on when at the courthouse and was not able to add to the almost empty drawer of that type of information. Currently the oldest LHS alumni in Langdon may be living at Wheatland Estates or Maple Manor. Della Crockett and Dale McDonald are from the LHS Class of 1942 as is Ron Olson - now living in another state. Dora Borgen, also at Wheatland, keeps up on known Hannah graduates who have reached their nineties. Dick Hamann from the SAS class of 1943 is one of their oldest alumni, and Tom Mann - now in another state - is not far behind him in age. Cyrilla Koehmstedt Kartes at Maple Manor is another of this group of long ago alumni. Lost in recent years are long time “oldest” grads Kathryn Marcotte Shablow and Edna Geisen Rose from SAS 1934. Also missed at the Munich gathering will be long time alumni Roman Michels and Joe and Geraldine (Wirth) Tholkes. At least one of those had passed their 100th birthdays before their deaths. While listening to a recent ball game featuring four Romfo players, I checked the index for early LHS graduates. After all the original Ole J. Romfo family (six generations back) had 12 children who were educated somewhere we expect. The only listing at Langdon was for Ann Marie in 1959. Others must have attended schools whose records I did not find. That family list will change in the future, I am sure. As more of the stories surface, we will continue this topic in the weeks to come.
