So many of favorite summer events have been canceled or postponed this year as a result of COVID-19, but one of the most action-packed events to take place in the area is ready to roll. The Brick Mine Pro Hillclimb sponsored by the Eagle Ridge Motorcycle Club and the Pembina Gorge Dirt Riders is ready to tear to it up beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, July 3 near the Brick Mine Bridge in beautiful Wahalla. “This idea has been in the minds of many individuals over the years being that the Brick Mine Hill is naturally long and steep; it has great potential for the sport of motorcycle hillclimbing because we are always looking for a challenge,” Shawn Jelinek shared. While the history of the hill goes back a lot further in local history as it was formerly used as a site to mine bricks, hence the name "Brick Mine", the use for the 750 foot incline as a challenging motorcycle climb started in December of 2015. It was then that a few local riders contacted the landowners, the Hornung Family, to ask if a hillclimb event could be held on their land. “Due to the size (750') and difficulty of the hill, it was decided to run it as a professional event in-

stead of the amateur format used in Fordville. Professional hillclimb events run fewer classes and generally have more skilled riders that attempt to climb a more challenging hill than an amateur event,”explained Jelinek Classes at a professional event include 450cc, 700cc, Open, and Verticross. Most professional events allow riders to run any sort of tires or fuel they wish to help them climb the hill faster. Some

tires, and race gas. The next class is 700cc - 451-700cc which includes either 2 stroke or 4 stroke engine and allows any fuel and any tire to be used. Lucky attendees will see the most exciting class – Open/Unlimited which has 600cc & up multi-cylinder and 700cc & up single cylinder bikes. This class allows any fuel, any tire, and typically these bikes are custom built. Jelinek shared that these bikes range from stock street

riders choose to run bikes that run on 100% nitromethane for added power and use tires that have metal chains or studs on them for added traction. Spectators at the Brick Mine Pro Hillclimb will have a lot to see as Jelinek explained what classes will be offered to riders. The Brick Mine will have a 450cc - Modern 450cc which only allows the use of a four strokes engine, rubber

bike engines to highly modified engines that are installed into a dirt bike frames. What makes this so exciting is that some of these bikes can put out 250hp or more and run on 100% nitromethane. The final class at the Brick Mine is the 450 Main Verticross/ X-Climb which will have the top 32 qualifiers from the 450cc class drag race up the hill. “The event has been very well

Cavalier County has first confirmed cases of COVID-19- Now what? The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has arrived in Cavalier County with residents testing positive for the virus. Precautions are being taken to help stem the spread, and the North Dakota Department of Health is working to identify people who have been in close contact. If you are identified as a close contact, you will be contacted and given further advice about the steps to take. According to Cavalier County Health Officer Dr. Trey Emerson, “The health and safety of our community is our highest priority as we face this crisis. We have been expecting this and are prepared. We have excellent staff and community support responding to the situation that continues to change daily.” Cavalier County Public Health Director Steph Welsh urges local residents to be prepared but not panic, and said, “Cavalier County residents need to continue to implement common sense measures like staying home when you are sick, washing your hands, and practicing social distancing. High risk individuals need to practice more aggressive social distancing by staying at home and having lower risk individuals run errands and/or utilizing delivery services where available.” The common sense measures which have been promoted

by Cavalier County Health District, Cavalier County Memorial Hospital, and Cavalier County Emergency Management will continue to be the measures recommended to slow the spread of COVID-19, both before and after lab diagnosed cases have been identified in our county: • Stay home if you are sick. • Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds or if you do not have access to a handwashing sink, use hand sanitiz-

er with at least 60% alcohol. • Avoid touching your face, particularly your nose, mouth and eyes. • Wear cloth face covers in public. • Practice social distancing. Individuals in high risk groups, those over 60 years, and individuals with chronic health conditions (heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, immuno-compromised individuals, severe obesity) have been shown to have higher burden of disease from COVID-19. For individuals in those groups they would recommend:

• Stay home. • Get a friend or family member not in a high risk category to run errands for you. Get take out or carry out instead of eating in restaurants or senior centers. Use drive through windows, if available. • Have medications and groceries delivered or mailed, if possible. • Participate in activities, like religious services or meetings, electronically or by phone. • Use telephone, video platforms, and mail to conduct business. • Limit visitors and allow no visitors with any symptoms of illness including fever and cough. The North Dakota Department of Health will be conducting interviews with all persons diagnosed with COVID-19 to determine who their close contacts are. People who are identified as close contacts will be notified by the North Dakota Department of Health and will receive instruction on quarantine and monitoring. Being in an indoor environment (e.g., store, workplace, restaurant) with someone who has COVID-19 is not necessarily considered having close contact. A close contact is defined as a person who spends a prolonged period of time within 6 feet (2 meters) of a person that has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Close cont. on page 3

received by riders and fans over the first few years which allowed for us to see increases in both the amount of spectators and riders,” Jelinek said. “ Due to the event's success and the hill being claimed by riders as one of the biggest, best, and funnest hills in the nation, it was a natural fit for a professional hillclimb event.” The Brick Mine Pro Hillclimb was first held in the summer of 2016 when the Eagle Ridge Motorcycle Club (ERMC) and the Pembina Gorger Dirt Riders (PGDR) teamed up to give this event a try. Now in their fifth year of holding it and third year as a part of the Motoclimb Super Series (MSS), the event is stronger than ever. “There are many reasons for the continuation of this event, but we are trying to promote the sport of hillclimbing while creating a safe, family-friendly environment/event that people can come to enjoy. Over the years there has always been great support from the landowners, many sponsors, local and many surrounding communities, riders, and spectators, which we need to keep this event going. Without all of this positive support it would be challenging to keep this event going,” Jelinek shared. The Motoclimb Super Series (MSS) is the first-ever professional cont. on page 2

4J Mosquito Control helps you enjoy the outdoors There is no noise more annoying during the summer than the sounds of mosquitoes as they attempt to land and grab a quick meal. Green grass and blue skies no longer have to include those pesky mosquitoes as 4J Mosquito Control begins serving the area. “We saw Mike Hartz was looking for someone to cover

Langdon City Commission swears in newly-elected

The Langdon City Commission held their final meeting with long time city commissioner Marty Tetrault stepping down after decades of service. The commissioners received updates from departments and attended to city business following the swearing in of Daren Kaercher, Lawrence Henry, and newly elected commissioner Chris Vandal. Langdon City Auditor RoxAnne Hoffarth reported that she had done a comparison of last year’s tax revenue for the month of May to this year’s. Hoffarth stated that there was a decrease in revenue unlike the previous comparison of April 2019 to April 2020. Hoffarth also informed the Commission that she is expecting a 15 to 20 percent decrease in funding for the year 2020. With budget time just around the corner, Hoffarth also shared that the 2021 budget can expect a similar decrease in state funding. Moore Engineering’s Andrew Aakre was in attendance to provide updates to the commissioners on the finalization of phase 2 and where the situation with Quam Construction’s correction work for Phase 1 is at. Spruce Valley will be finishing up their work over the next few weeks. Aakre explained that the ongoing issue with Quam will soon have to be more aggressive with the city pursuing the bond as Quam has yet to

begin the correction work. Part of the discussion of streets included a blockage in the sewer occurring on 12th Street between 10th and 11th Avenue. The section, according to Aakre, had been marked as having no problem areas during initial snaking of the sewer lines a few years ago. Aakre will be meeting with Langdon City Water Department Supervisor Jason Busse to determine the area and confirm if it is one section or part of a larger problem that needs to be addressed. Langdon City Commission Chair Jerry Nowatzki addressed the Commission on the issuance of letters to business owners and residents concerning enforcement of ordinances. Nowatzki explained that prior to the sending out of letters the commissioners will review the letters to be aware of who and what is being sent out. The primary focus will be the main thoroughfares through Langdon as a way to maintain the appearance and appeal of Langdon to both residents and visitors. In Other Business • Langdon City Sanitation Supervisor Tom Beauchamp informed the Commission that he has set City Clean Up Week for July 20 through 25. • The city hall renovations are expected to be completed by the next meeting. • The Commission opened

bids for the city hall restrooms. The bids were accepted and fall within the budget for the project leaving room for potential change orders. •A housing incentive application was approved. • The commissioners discussed portfolio assignments. Lawrence Henry will take over the Street Department portfolio with Chris Vandal handling the Police and Activity Center portfolio. • The Commission will be putting a property up for public bid.

The vaccines that you receive in childhood wear off after time, so it is important to stay current with vaccinations to make sure you are fully protected. Vaccinations not only protect yourself from diseases but also protects others such as the very young, very old, those with a weakened immune system, and those unable to be vaccinated.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Don't Get Burned Many North Dakotans, especially in our corner of the state, celebrate having Scandinavian heritage - the tough and resilient people that weather every storm. While it is true that we are a stoic lot, there is one area of our shared heritage where I wish more people would realize is actually quite delicate. Those of Scandinavian descent are often blessed with incredibly pale skin tones. I, being one of those “skin white as snow”, have spent the majority of my life well covered during the summer and have become an expert in sunscreen and sun protective clothing. Trust me, I have suffered through only a few severe sunburns, but those few times are well remembered as being incredibly painful. What makes sunshine so hard on the skin is the ultraviolet radiation, UVA rays and UVB rays. So when looking for products for protection, it is important to understand what you are looking at. There are two different types of measurements used for products meant to protect from the sun's rays-ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), which measures the amount of UV radiation that can penetrate fabric and reach your skin, and sun protection factor, or SPF, which is based on the time it takes for UV-exposed skin to red-

den. This means that if you burn after 20 minutes, a sunscreen with an SPF 15 sunscreen may protect your skin 15 times longer when used correctly. Another important distinction: UPF measures both UVB and UVA rays, while SPF measures only UVB. Sunscreen wears away and must constantly be reapplied. Many times there is also other components in the product that could be potentially harmful over long term exposure. Other issues such as the product not living up to expectations can leave you not only feeling red but your skin red as well. As a redhead, knowing what to look for in products to protect my skin is second nature now. Sunscreen is still a must for areas that are not covered, but it is also a lot easier to invest in clothes that offer protection from UV radiation from both spectrums (UVB and UVA). When looking for clothing that will offer sun protection, take it from me, if it doesn't offer a UPF of 50 - it is not worth it. A UPF 50 fabric will block about 98 percent of the sun’s rays. With only two percent or 1/50th of the sun's rays allowed to penetrate to your skin, you are reducing your exposure risk significantly. Don't get burned this summer. Take the precautions to protect your skin and avoid the painful sunburn by wearing sunscreen and sun protective clothing.

Where have you been?... I was talking to some friends the other day about strange things we’ve done and strange places we’ve been. If you look back on your life since you were, say, a teenager, you might surprise yourself when you recollect some of these events. Through my travels in the Army, I’ve been in some pretty strange places including Doha, Qatar. Here is a city of 800,000 people that’s trying to have a western flair with places like Dairy Queen and Pepsi. Unfortunately, it’s a wanna be western city. The Arabic influence there is obvious, and when you drive around that city, you wonder if you are in Chicago or Baghdad. I’ve also been in Iceland where we built bus stops on a naval base. It was June 2001, and since the summer solstice was happening, I grabbed my camera and went walking to the southwest part of the base so I could get pictures of the midnight sun. All of a sudden, six guys with weapons jumped out of a van telling me to stop and get in the van. They took me into a building where a Navy officer interrogated me for about 20 minutes, and I had to call my first sergeant to vouch for me. Apparently, I got a little too close to the flight line where FA 18 and British Tornado aircraft were staged. Once they knew my story was authentic, they escorted me to the edge of the base where I could get my 64-De-

grees-North-Latitude photographs. Another incident I would consider very unusual is when my college roommate and I went to the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup in 1995 in Regina. My gosh, it was cold that day, but we still had fun. During halftime, a number of us were in the men’s room huddled around propane heaters to keep warm. Somebody got to talking and the next thing we knew, we were on the field in the south end zone, and I’m snapping pictures of Doug Flutie and Mike Pringle like crazy. And nobody tried to stop me. Security must have assumed I was a sports photographer because I spent the entire second half of that game on the Grey Cup field. Before I was married, I used to take mini vacations driving around North Dakota to try to get to places that I hadn’t been before. I don’t remember what year it was. I think it was the early ‘90s, but it was a hot, muggy day, and I was driving around in the Turtle Mountains when I decided I wanted a cold soft drink or some ice cream or something. I drove around until I found a small convenience store with those items. But as soon as I drove into the parking lot, I knew something was wrong because I saw a phone booth that said Manitoba Telephone Systems. Here I was in Canada and didn’t even realize I had crossed the border. I happened to have some loonies in my pocket so I paid for my ice cream and headed back exactly where I came from. The stress level didn’t drop until I could see the elevators at Bottineau. Many years ago my brother took

me to a St. Louis Cardinals game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Cardinals were playing the Cubs, the Budweiser beer was flowing on a hot, summer day, and we both drank too much. On the way out of the stadium, it started raining hard, and because we couldn’t immediately find my brother’s wife, we dashed to a building with a really small entryway with locked doors. At least it kept us out of the rain until the shower stopped. When we left, we drove around the other side of the building only to find it was the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. There was also a weekend I went to a football game in Winnipeg. After the game, I crossed the street and stopped into a tavern that was attached to the Polo Park Inn. It was kind of busy, and I was wearing a St. Louis Cardinals jersey and a First Nations guy came up to me and started talking smack to me about being a narc.I told him I was from North Dakota and that I didn’t know what he was talking about. He had a pool queue in his hand, and he was holding as if he was going to swing it at me. Then, he said he wanted to go outside, and I could see a knife handle sticking out of his boot. I have no idea where that came from.I began to argue with this guy about who I was and suddenly another guy playing pool quickly came up and started yelling at and beating on this guy. He apologized for the other guy’s behavior and said “Canadians don’t treat their guests like that.” I’ve probably been in Winnipeg 500 times and that was the only time I ever had trouble.

Dear Editor: Melissa Anderson, ends her weekly column (Melissa’s Musings, 6/22/2020 CCR) with the question of which of the two dogs she describes would you take on the trip when hunting season arrives. Assuming Ms. Anderson is referring to a hunting trip using a dog to flush/retrieve the intended prey, if I’m hunting for bouncy balls that I throw for a dog to chase I’ll consider taking the inexperienced Misty. However, if I’m going hunting in the real world, I’ll choose the dog that knows the difference between a ball and a bird and whose experience has taught her not to waste time and energy chasing bouncy balls when your hunter/owner expects you to retrieve edible game. Chuck Damschen

Dear Editor: I found the last “Melissa’s Musing” rather amusing. To think energy is a match for proven experience when actually working a hunt and bringing home game is rather naïve. Maybe Shelby has learned to work smarter and not harder wasting time and energy chasing and retrieving a bouncy ball like Misty does. Unless Melissa has found a recipe book on how to prepare bouncy balls for the table, I’d recommend taking Shelby, the proven hunter. Rep. David Monson Dear Editor: Over the past month we have experienced something most of us have never seen in our country, the destruction of historic statues, changing names of historical places.... all in the name of stamping out what a very vocal group has decided should be changed to what they want. I love history and have read much about what we have seen just in the past 100 years (not looking any further back which is even worse in many cases) so would like to bring up a few dates: • in May 1933 Hitler and his cronies held massive book burnings all over Germany, his stooges and others joined in the burning of historical masterpieces and scientific journals, why? because they were written by Jews. • in Germany and every country the Nazis conquered historic statues, buildings, and even the railroad car the WWI armistice was signed in was destroyed. • in 1949 George Orwell wrote a book entitled ‘1984’ which contained some quotable words that seem to fit today, including: “Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.” • in 2000 a group of radicals in Afghanistan destroyed century old religious objects and historic sites because history did not suit their purpose. Those people later gave Americans a taste of hell on September 11, 2001. Attempting to obliterate history will not change it, nor correct the wrongs that have occurred. As Americans we need to remember our Constitution guarantees us the right to make changes using one of the greatest weapons ever invented....the ballot box. Burning, looting, and destroying property will not bring positive change, only change that will eventually destroy our great country and all it stands for.

Maybe it’s time for all of us to stand up and say ‘America Matters’ Mike Connor Devils Lake Where are the Women? The North Dakota Emergency Commission is responsible for allocating the $1.25 billions dollars in CARE Act Funds the state received. These funds are intended to help families, workers, small businesses, and to preserve jobs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor and five other male elected officials make-up the Emergency Commission. Together, they alone are deciding for everyone how to allocate the federal dollars coming to the state through the CARES Act (and possible future funds). One has to ask, where are the women? When elected officials more closely represent the electorate, policy discussions and outcomes are better. We need a leadership team more representative of the people in the state as we decide what to do with over a billion dollars in funds. The North Dakota Women’s Network supports calling a special session of the state legislature to address the many needs we are facing as a result of COVID-19. Additional voices will ensure fair and equitable allocation of the federal dollars for education, health care, small business, and other important needs. While the ND legislature is only 21% female it brings more balance then the Emergency Commission with 0% representation. The Governor has made inclusion a pillar of his administration. I encourage him to make it a part of these critical discussions so that all our voices can be heard on how to best ensure a strong future for our state as we recover from the effects of this pandemic. Kristie Wolff Executive Director ND Women’s Network Letter to the Editor: An addict typically does not like being an addict. After a while the lifestyle a person lives when addicted to alcohol and drugs becomes very dark. It causes the person to be someone that they are ashamed of. Which drives the vicious cycle of addiction because they have to run from the guilt and embarrassment. The goal is to be as numb as possible at all times. So then one would ponder on why they don’t just stop that cycle. It’s hard to understand addiction unless you have been in the shoes of an addict or alcoholic before. It is easy for family and friends to just think that it’s a phase or they will eventually get tired of it. Sometimes they even enable them to avoid the situation This is just a way for them to live with the fact that there loved one is struggling. The only way to fix this unknown void that they are filling with drugs and alcohol is to go to treatment and handle this fully. Don’t just assume that it will end because it will leave you with very tragic consequences that no one wants to go through. For more information on how to handle addiction, go to https:// www.narconon-suncoast.org/blog/ why-cant-they-just-stop.html .

Schill races to first career Late Model victory at River Cities Speedway

In what was a battle to the checkered, Lance Schill claimed his first career Late Model victory on Friday night at River Cities Speedway. Schill started on the outside of the front row but ran behind 51-year racing veteran Tom Corcoran in the early stages of the 20-lapper. On lap five, Schill worked his way around Corcoran to take the lead, but Corcoran continued to battle back on the inside. As the leaders approached lapped traffic, last week’s winner and defending NLRA series champion, Brad Seng, entered the fray. Schill and Seng ran three-wide with a lapped car as they passed under the white flag before making contact in turn one. The contact slowed Seng’s momentum just enough for Schill to pull away by two car lengths. That’s all that Schill needed to come around and score his first career victory. Seng and Dustin Strand completed the podium. An excited Schill pulled into victory lane before jumping atop his car to do his signature salute to the veterans. The win came in only Schill’s third start in the premier division. By Mike Spieker

COVID-19 makes huge impact on U.S. economy Extension specialists in NDSU’s Agribusiness and Applied Economics Department have launched a newsletter called Agriculture By the Numbers. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions throughout the U.S. red meat and poultry industry. As a result, consumers may find limited availability of some meat items at grocery stores, while meat and poultry producers may not be able to find a market for livestock and poultry ready to harvest. Plus, consumers may see higher prices for preferred meat products. “The function of the price system is to prevent shortages and surpluses,” says Tim Petry, North Dakota State University Extension livestock economist. “That works very well until a sudden shock such as the pandemic unexpectedly disrupts the system.” In the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s April 9 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, the USDA was projecting record U.S. beef, pork, chicken and total meat production in 2020. Just one month later, the May 12 WASDE report estimated

Funds awarded to food and shelter programs The Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board State Set-Aside has awarded $13,578 for Phase 37 and $19,096 for Phase CARES in federal funds made available through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in Northern North Dakota, including Ramsey, Benson, Eddy, Towner and Cavalier Counties. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the US Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Council of Jewish Federations, Catholic Charities, USA, The Jewish Federations of North America, National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA and United Way of Worldwide. The Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. A Local Board made up of volunteers representing Salvation Army, the Ministerial Association, Community Action Agency, Housing Authorities, local government and tribal representatives, determine how the funds awarded to this region are distributed in the area.

Gov. Doug Burgum announced all renewals for vehicle registration and driver licenses, which expired March 1 or later, have been extended until August 31. This new executive order takes the place of Executive Order 202007 which waived expiration dates for vehicle registration and driver licenses during the state of emergency. Due to CDC guidelines on social distancing, these services are available by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, visit our website at dot.nd.gov or call 1-855633-6835. “We have limited space available in our facilities and scheduling appointments is the safest, most effective way we can serve our customers and reduce wait times,” said Robin Rehborg, NDDOT Deputy Director for Driver Safety. “Safety remains our top priority. We appreciate your patience as we work through our backlog and continue to meet customer demand.” At this time, NDDOT is focused

The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.

Obituaries

Funeral services will be held July 16, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. for Thomas E. Evans, who passed peacefully on June 13, 2020, comforted by his loved ones; so many also with him in spirit. True to his character, he bravely faced his battle with all his strength. Tom was born October 18, 1943, to Eddie and Mary Evans and raised on their family farm in Langdon. He dearly loved his farming roots where he learned the values that shaped him into the hardworking man he became. He attended Langdon High School where he fell for the eldest Schroeder girl, Sandra. She would be his “blondie”,

lovingly married for 41 years. He graduated from the University of North Dakota earning a business degree along with his fair share of wild tales! He loved to tell stories from back in the day that likely included fast cars or hustling pool for “extra money in his pocket”. The pictures of he and Sandra from the Fraternity (ATO) parties speak for themselves, and it is obvious they had a LOT of FUN in college! He always missed the first 3 weeks of classes being they fell during harvest. Each year he would have to convince his professors that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to catch up on the missed material, and it never was. After college and a wedding, (September 4, 1965) he and Sandy were off to military life where he began his service in the United States Army. Stationed at

Fort Hood, Texas, his natural leadership skills would find him training fellow young soldiers to operate tanks. He and Sandy would begin their family with the birth of their daughter, Kathy, and 3 years later their son, David, would arrive in Montana. His next life turn brought he and Sandy to the beautiful Bitterroot Valley to buy and operate their first hardware store. This was to become the vessel for his passion of business and what would stimulate and bring the challenges he thrived on. He loved the hardware business and liked to say: “You know me, I bleed ACE red.” Words cannot express how proud his family is of his accomplishments; he earned everything he had. His son, David, and (wife) Andi now proudly own and operate the legacy he built and put his life’s work into. It brought him

great joy to see David carry on the family business with such success. If he were a farmer at heart, one could say the mountains were his mistress. He was a knowledgeable outdoorsman and avidly enjoyed hunting, camping, horseback trail riding, and hiking. Always seeking new adventure, he introduced himself to downhill skiing and was hooked! It became one of his passions, not only for the speed and thrills but the comradery of his beloved “Old Geezer Club”. He treasured those friendships. The mountains were also the stage for his proud physical accomplishment of competing for many years in the “Mountain Goat Run” endurance hike. He loved the physical challenge of testing himself in an environment he loved so much. Our family will be forever grateful for the love he and Debbie Peterson have shared. They made wonderful memories with world travels to conversations recanting business and events of the day; he, of course, with his signature whiskey high-ball! He will be credited for introducing Debbie to Grizzly football; they had so much fun planning their Fall around the football schedule and cheering on the Griz! He could not quiet his desire for business ventures. Retirement may have included an impressive garden, a great pleasure throughout his life, but to the end he actively invested his time and expertise in partnering and guiding Brandon Peterson in

opening 2 ACE Stores in the Boise, Idaho, area. Their relationship far exceeded business, sharing mutual trust and respect between 2 men of different generations. He was a leader and role model in the Hamilton community he belonged to for over 50 years. He may have been your friend, your good neighbor, or likely the person that helped you in his store, as he knew how to fix everything! He had a big heart and cared so much about helping others. A generous supporter of local charities, he also impacted so many lives guiding with his wisdom and kindness. He was the beloved patriarch of our family and will be dearly missed. This Father’s Day, have a beautiful ride, Harley or Horseback (Sunny) you loved them both! Thomas was preceded in death by his wife, Sandra J. Evans; parents Eddie and Mary Evans; sister Judith Brown; and sister-in-law Judy Evans. His survivors include his children, Kathy (Tucker) Urquhart and David (Andi) Evans; grandchildren: Madeline, Tyson, and Chase Urquhart, Bailey and Luke Evans; siblings: Neil Evans and Lois (Dean) Rumfo; brother-in-law Gary Brown; many nieces, nephews, including his special niece, Kelly Jo Henderson, and his in-laws that he remained so close to over the years. He also leaves behind his loving partner, Debbie Peterson. Daly-Leach Chapel in Hamilton, Mont. is in charge of arrangements.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Sally Jennings, guest columnist from Emmanuel Evangelical Church, Langdon

Emmanuel Church is once again happy to host the fireworks display in Langdon on Friday, the 3rd of July, at the baseball diamonds next to the Langdon Area High School. Thanks to all of you that gave toward this event. I loved the 4th of July growing up in small town Nebraska. The day would start with a parade followed by a flurry of activities celebrating the birth of our country. Fireworks over the lake were the culmination of a perfect day. My best friend and I would sit on a big tractor tire inner tube out in the middle of the lake and watch the volunteer firemen put on the show from the opposite shore. We would “ooh and ahh” with the crowd that gathered around the lake. Cindi and I would pick our favorite one and then change our mind numerous times. That was back in the day when they shot off one firework every two minutes so we’d have plenty of time to deliberate. As I look back, we seemed more united as a country and not so polarized. Oh, we had our share of conflict, too, and my family was no exception. Dad was a staunch Republican, and Mom was a fiery Democrat. She would tell Dad, “If it hadn’t been for Roosevelt, my family would have starved!” When she was feeling particularly cantankerous she’d call Ronald Reagan, “Bozo the Clown”. At certain times of the year there was a

lot of tension and arguing around the dining room table. On Election Day, Dad would come home and proudly announce, “Well, I canceled your mom’s vote again!” But one thing they both had in common was a love for their country. They were proud to be citizens of the United States of America, and they passed that on to my siblings and me. It hurts to see our country so divided, people being unkind and harsh with one other. Sometimes I feel sad and downright depressed. It is then I have to remind myself that I have dual citizenship, and my second one is much more important. My American citizenship is temporary and will expire when I do. But as a believer in Christ, I’m a citizen of heaven, too. Heaven will be my homeland for eternity. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:19, “Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are members of God’s very own family, citizens of God’s country, and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.” Christians know that their citizenship in heaven is the result of their relationship with Christ. That fact brings great joy. We’d love to hear what you think! Contact us at emmanuel@ utma.com. If you’d like a free booklet explaining what a relationship with Christ looks like, just let us know.

Lake Region State College announces textbook scholarship

Deputy Grand Master

Daniel Haugen was recently installed Deputy Grand Master of Masons in North Dakota. The ceremony took place in Fargo at the annual Masonic Grand Lodge held under COVID-19 restrictions. Danny is a member of Lebanon Lodge of Langdon and Mandan Lodge. Danny is a Lieutenant in the North Dakota Highway Patrol and is manager of the Law Enforcement training center in Bismarck. He is the son of Don and Elaine Haugen of Langdon.

Lake Region State College announces a new textbook scholarship for students from the area attending the Devils Lake-based college. Many students in the region have selected LRSC, but others who planned on attending college elsewhere may be rethinking their plans. One thing administration and staff at Lake Region State College didn’t want to see was students taking a year off college when LRSC is right here and able to accommodate student needs. That’s where the idea of supporting students with their book costs at the LRSC Bookstore started. The Community College Foundation that supports LRSC made the Textbook Scholarship a reality. “Lake Region State College has always been here for students. At

LRSC, you have a world of opportunity in your back yard,” said LRSC President Doug Darling. Area students from qualifying communities who enroll as a fulltime degree seeking student may be eligible for the $500 Bookstore Buck award. At Lake Region State College, the first two years of a bachelor’s degree are available on campus or online. The largest class is around 40 students with most much smaller. “Our credits transfer smoothly thanks to the articulation/transfer agreements with colleges and universities,” Darling said. Attending LRSC for the start of your bachelor’s degree also creates a big cost savings. Staying home and commuting to Lake Region State College for the first half of your bachelor’s degree can save

you big bucks (we’re talking up to $20,000) LRSC’s career and technical programs will have you work ready in two years or less in fields needing employees now here and throughout the region/state/nation, such as auto technology, nursing, precision agriculture, and more. *Award spans over the fall and spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year with $250 to purchase books and supplies at LRSC Bookstore Fall 2020 and $250 Spring 2021. For more information on the scholarship go to LRSC.edu or contact LRSC.enrollment@LRSC.edu. The application form for the scholarship can be found at: https:// www.lrsc.edu/admissions-aid/ lake-region-area-textbooks-scholarship.

Prairie Doc® Perspectives: The Native American medicine wheel

Brush with the Bunch

Shown is Laurel Brusseau working on a hot glue gun 3-D painting which she describes below. I, Leo, have used this method on several paintings, and I love it. The idea for this project I got from Pinterest which is a pretty simple idea. One outlines the subject matter of your painting with a line of hot glue. If one uses several layers of glue a 3-D effect can be attained. After only a couple of minutes the glue cools, and you can apply any type of paint to the canvas areas layered or outlined by the glue. It was interesting enough for the Brush Bunch to use as a class project. A lot of different designs were used by the members, and it was a fun experiment. I did a couple of pieces later that were successful & one that ended up in the dumpster. But it was fun, and we always learn something as we try each new thing. The following bio is in Laurel‘s words: “As far as what the public knows about me – I have been with this group for so long, I am not sure there is anything about me that they don‘t know. I have been playing with paint & canvas for so long, I am pretty well an open book. I was so disappointed when we had to cancel our 2020 art show, I totally lost interest in the paintings I had in progress, and they are still in progress. I haven‘t even touched the unfinished work and a couple of pieces that were finished and unframed are still unframed. With all the summer chores and other interests – I don‘t paint much in the summer anyway, and I am hoping that the interest returns. I think we are still waiting to get past this nasty virus that has plagued our nation. It seemed to snatch the enthusiasm out of most everything we normally do and haven‘t been able to do. The Brush Bunch has been meeting since early June, but most members were chatting and only the guys were painting – the rest of us were just VISITING - so happy to be with friends again after our isolation. But this virus stuff too will pass, and life will return to something more normal.“ Thanks, Laurel, for a wonderful report and fine words. At the Brush Bunch we have discussed the idea for a Fourth of July float. See you then and have a Happy and safe 4th of July.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

NDAPSSA announces end of the year awards with three locally The North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association has announced their end of the season awards, which they do annually for North Dakota high school and college sports. In a story in this weeks paper, you will see that the Langdon-EdmoreMunich football, Callie Ronningen and Rob Scherr all received honors. This is not the first time this has happened, as we look back at the history of the awards and found that Karla Beck was named Best Female Athlete in 2004, Phil Farris got Best Male Athlete in 1977, Cadyn Schwabe Best Male Athlete in 2019, and two Cavalier County coaches, Jack DeMaine and the late great Roger Snortland, won Coach of the Year awards in 1983 and 1985 respectively. These awards are

unique in the fact that it encompasses all high school sports for both Class A and B. So if you win, it's really saying something. Congrats to all winners past and present. Langdon Country Club to host Men's City Tourney June 30 Tournament season finally got underway at the Langdon Country Club on June 20. The club held a fundraising 2-person scramble that was won by Brandon Downs and Cody Pengilly. The next tourney on the schedule is the Men's City Tournament, open to all club members on June 30th beginning at 3:30 p.m. This is open to all male club members. Due to this tournament being held, Tuesday Men's League golf will have its schedule moved back a week, however Tuesday Men's Stag activities will still take place the evening of the 30th. More tournament are planned for July, which we will discuss more in the weeks ahead. Major League Baseball set to come back July 23 We will leave you this week

with some kind of happy news that Major League Baseball has finally agreed to begin their season on July 23-24. It will be a 60 game schedule, with a full postseason, including the World Series. The Minnesota Twins will begin training for the season at Target Field on July 1 (Although it has been recently reported that several of their players have tested positive for the corona virus). The Twins will play 40 games against their American League Central rivals, and 20 games versus NL Central clubs (The schedule wasn't out yet at press time). Even though it will be a short season, their is a lot of excitement for this years Twins team, as they added All-Star infielder Josh Donaldson to an already potent lineup in the off season, while also trying to address their pitching issues. For baseball fans like myself, seeing the majors get back in action is something we have all been thristing for all summer. Let's hope they are able to play when July 23 comes around. "See ya!" next week!

Cardinals football, Ronningen, Scherr all win end of the year awards from NDAPSSA

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association met recently to determine their annual end of the year awards. The Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals football team won Male Team of Year, Callie Ronningen won Female Athlete of Year, and Rob Scherr was named Co-Female Coach of the Year with Justin Klein from Devils Lake. These are all huge honors, as it encompasses all sports in both Class A and B. The Cardinals football team had a dominating 13-0 season, winning their second straight Class A 11-Man state title. No team got closer than 28 points to the Cards in any game all season, which shows why they are very deserving of being named Male Team of the Year. Speaking about the award, Cardinals coach Josh Krivarchka said, "It is quite an honor to be recognized throughout the state for everyone involved with the program. These players have put in countless hours throughout the years, and their accomplishments this past season will be remembered forever!" Ronningen got the Female Athlete of Year award for her accomplishments in both volleyball and basketball, leading the LangdonEdmore-Munich teams to state titles in both sports. Among her many awards, Callie was named Class B Senior Athete of the year in girls hoops. On winning this latest honor, she said "I can honestly say that I didn’t even know this award existed, but that did not take away how honored I felt as I found out

that I had won it. I really just have to thank my family along with all of my coaches and teammates that I’ve ever played for/with for pushing me every day to become better and work harder. Without them, I would not have the honor of being named the female athlete of North Dakota. I was so thankful to be surrounded by these people who constantly made me better and continue to do so!" Long-time coach Rob Scherr had the best year of his esteemed career when he guided the Lady Cards girls basketball team to a state championship for 2020. The victory in the championship game over Grafton was also his 400th career coaching win. When asked for a comment on winning Female Coach of Year, he said, "Having been voted in by your peers as Class B GBB Coach of the Year was a very special honor, and now to top that off to also receive the statewide ND Coach of the Year for a Female Sport for Class A or B is like, wow - this season just keeps getting better and better. This award speaks highly of our program that we have here in Cardinal Land. It’s an award you don’t win without having special coaches at my side and especially our players and how they conduct themselves and perform on and off the court. I know I am privileged and proud to be part of such a special group to allow me to be chosen for such an honor frothe sportscasters and media." These statewide awards from the NDAPSSA don't come around often, and it once again shows that the school year of 2019-20 was the year of the Cardinals.

Red Sox get back on track with two dominant wins over Minto By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Red Sox Class B Independent League baseball team was looking to get back to their winning ways when they hosted Minto in a District 5 double header at American Legion Field on June 24. After their first league loss to Grafton the week before, the Red Sox got back down to business in a big way beating the Mustangs 11-1 and 18-3, with both games called by the 10 run rule. With the wins, Langdon now has an overall record of 9-2, and their district mark at 5-1. They have two non-conference games in the week ahead, hosting a team from Lancaster (MN) on June 30 at 6:30pm, then traveling to play Hatton-Northwood on July 1. In game one of the Minto double dip, the Red Sox were down 1-0 in the bottom of the first when they promptly scored five runs, two of them on a triple to right center field by Jack Romfo. Langdon put up four more runs in the third inning with the biggest blow coming on a double by Peyton Ullyott, plus run scoring hits from Tucker Welsh and Grant Romfo. A sacrifice fly by Simon Romfo to bring home Carter Tetrault in the bottom of the fifth ended the game. Ethan Sampson started his first game of the season on the mound for the Red Sox and after giving up three straight hits to start the game, he settled down and allowed just one more base knock the rest of the way to get the win while walking just one better. Simon and Jack Romfo each had two runs batted in.

Minto tied the game in the bottom of the first on a three run homer by Blaise Miller. But Langdon would explode for 11 runs in the fourth inning to put the game away. Highlighted that big scoring run was a grand slam home run by Simon Romfo, who hit it out to the deepest part of the park in a blast that went nearly 400 feet. Simon had four RBI's in the game, and Welsh had his best ever game for the Red Sox with double and also four runs batted in. Ullyott and Jack Romfo each brought in two runs. Cooper Zimmer threw four innings for the win, striking out seven batters while walking just two.

Recreationists and livestock producers encouraged to be aware of blue-green algae

Hot summer weather contributes to the production of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in bodies of water that are used by people, pets and livestock. Blue-green algae discolors the water and can cause foam, scum, or mats to appear on the surface. In severe cases, the water can have the appearance of spilled green paint or green pea soup. Blue-green algae can also produce toxins in the water called cyanotoxins. People and animals that swallow water containing cyanotoxins can become sick with diarrhea and vomiting; numb lips, tingling fingers and toes; dizziness; or rashes, hives or skin blisters. In severe cases of exposure from ingesting contaminated water, cyanotoxins can result in death. There are no known antidotes for the cyanotoxins produced by blue-green algae. Children are at a higher risk than adults for illness because of their smaller size. The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) does test water for toxins and, if they are detected, issues advisories to the public. However, because it can take time to receive test results, people are urged to be cautious and avoid waters that look discolored, scummy, or have a foul odor. According to Aaron Larsen with the NDDEQ Division of Water Quality, algae blooms are most common in North Dakota in late summer, however, it only takes a few hot days to cause the algae to bloom. “Whether its cyanotoxins caused by blue-green algae or toxic water due to increased salts and sulfates, cattle can develop adverse clinical

signs, including death,” says Dr. Michelle Mostrom with North Dakota State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. Both the NDDEQ and the Department of Agriculture recommend these steps to avoid exposure to cyanotoxins: • Respect advisories announced by public health authorities. • Do not swim, water ski, or boat in areas where the water is discolored or where you see foam, scum or mats of green or blue-green algae on the water. • If you accidentally swim in water that might have a cyanobacteria bloom, rinse off with fresh water as soon as possible. • Do not let pets or livestock swim in or drink from areas where the water is discolored or where you see foam, scum, or mats of algae. • If pets (especially dogs) swim in scummy water, rinse them off immediately – do not let them lick the algae (and toxins) off. • Do not irrigate lawns or golf courses with pond water that looks scummy or smells bad.

Lookout for Grasshoppers: Two days back I was called upon to check out some damage on edible bean seedlings. The damage on leaves definitely looked like something was eating on it, with irregular holes and chewed up margins. Being an Entomologist, it is very frustrating to see the bug damage but could not see the bug itself. It bothered me so much and I kept on looking harder for the culprit bug while playing other scenarios in my mind like hail damage or herbicide drift and ruling them out based on the situation explained by the grower. I started walking towards the field edge and was looking at more plants with similar damage. My eyes stopped on this particular plant with a freshly made hole in the leaf and I bent down to check what is underneath the leaf. This is what you should do too when you suspect bug damage, check the foliage on the top as well as bottom. Sure enough, there was my cute culprit happily munching on its delicious brunch. It’s a baby grasshopper the size of a long rice grain probably hatched fresh. And that also explains why the damage is concentrated on the field edges as immature grasshoppers lack wings

NDSU Extension Notes

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Finding the Rainbow Within the past few days, I have heard that some people are concerned because our time as a county for being Covid-19-free has passed. They are nervous and worried because it has gotten closer to home, where they were beginning to feel comfort in their safety. Some people are having difficulty adjusting now that things have changed, once again. When the whole pandemic first came to the United States, it was a scary and unknown time for so many people. We heard the news being released of this novel disease that was affecting so many people. And one day, towards the beginning, I realized how significant something like this is in history. Even though it is a scary time, sometimes I think these times are so that we can appreciate times on the other side - kind of like a rainbow after a bad storm. The rainbow after is what we must cling to in order to make it through the storm. I have a little story that my maternal grandmother and mom told me. Now, keep in mind that I was young when I heard the story, and it definitely didn’t have significance at the time I heard it; it was just a fun piece of family history. But, it all came rushing back into my consciousness when Covid-19 hit. I truly believe it came into my life in my early years to help me during this time, many years later. I’m sharing it with you so that you may also see how things can happen for a reason or maybe to have a rainbow at the end of the storm. During the Spanish Flu pan-

demic of 1918, I believe there were about 3000 North Dakotans that passed away during that pandemic and many more that were ill. My great-grandfather was married to a woman, and they had 4 small children all under the age of 6. Every member of the family became VERY ill with the flu at the same time. In fact, my great-grandfather was so weak that he couldn’t get out of bed to use the phone to call for help when his wife passed away beside him. She laid there beside him until he had the strength to call the youngest boy (about 2 at the time) to get out of bed to come help. The 2-year-old was the least sick and had been getting water for others as needed between his rests. Great-grandpa told his youngest boy to go to the phone, crank the handle, and to just keep saying “Momma’s sick. Momma’s sick.” The little boy did just that. That little two-year-old pushed the chair up to the phone on the wall, turned the crank on the old-time party line ringer box and just kept saying “Momma’s sick. Momma’s sick” until a neighbor down the road picked up the phone and figured out who’s sweet little voice that must be on the line. The neighbor sent people to the house to help, knowing that something must have happened. My great-grandfather and all 4 children survived. My great-grandfather now had a dilemma. How was he supposed to raise 4 small children while earning enough to provide for them all without the help of their mother? The solution: a nanny. About the same time as the flu pandemic, my great-grandmother had been deeply in love with a minister, whom she was engaged to marry. He passed away in a motor vehicle accident before they could

The RECs have modified their field days in the interest of public health and safety. North Dakota State University’s seven Research Extension Centers and Agronomy Seed Farm will host virtual field days in July and August. “In the interest of public health and safety, we will be modifying our field days to be held primarily virtually or with small-group tours this summer,” says Greg Lardy, NDSU vice president for Agricultural Affairs. “This will allow producers and other interested parties to receive updates on the research

at the centers at their leisure in an environment of their choosing.” See the list of field days at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/research/field-days. Short prerecorded videos will be shot on location so producers can see the researchers’ work, Lardy says. Research Extension Center and NDSU main campus scientists and Extension specialists will talk about a wide variety of current topics. “We’re glad we can use various technologies to share with producers, even during the pandemic,” Lardy says.

Baby grasshoppers hatching from eggs. Photo: A. Chirumamilla, NDSU Grasshopper populations have been consistently increasing for the past two years and this could be attributed to the dry conditions we have been experiencing. Grasshoppers do not thrive in wet conditions as they are more susceptible to fungal diseases. Baby grasshoppers are very tiny, size of wheat kernel. Regular scouting of field edges is important. The easy way to scout them is to use a 15-inch sweep net and do four 180-degree sweeps in grassy ditches to estimate the number of adult (or nymph) grasshoppers per square yard. Early detection of grasshopper nymphs is vital for effective pest management. The action threshold for nymphs is: • 50-75 per square yard in field margins • 30-45 per square yard within the field

wed, and she was devastated. In her grief, she decided to take the job as a nanny for a man whose wife had passed away in the pandemic. Out of propriety and convenience, my great-grandfather married my great-grandmother. They went on to have 4 more children, the oldest of which, is my maternal grandmother. I literally would not be here if it weren’t for the devastating Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. I have some amazing relatives that have come from the historic tragedy that have made their mark in this world by being wonderful human beings. Through their love, dedication, and thoughtfulness, they have helped many people, and been a part of fabulous things. They are fantastic mothers, fathers, children, aunts, uncles, siblings, friends, co-workers, and citizens. They have all made the world a better place and left their mark here on Earth - not necessarily in name, but in essence. I’m sure my great-grandparents couldn’t see the rainbow at the end of their tragedies during the time they were happening, but they kept on. All of us can keep on keeping on as well. Even though we may not know what the rainbow is after this storm, there are some glimpses of some that have already shown during this time. • Air has cleared in larger cities. Some people who have never seen the sky because of the smog have now seen the beautiful blue this world offers. • Families have spent more time together. More games have been played. More outdoor activities have been happening. Some families have gotten to know each other again. • People are appreciating things a little more. Toilet paper, yeast, and hand soap have always just been on the store shelves. It makes us appreciate those things we have taken for granted when they are no longer readily available. NDSU Extension has developed a webpage specifically designed to help during this time. There are many resources for sanitation, food safety, older adults, stress, family caregiving, youth and family resources, money matters, along with many more. They can all be accessed at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/alerts/coronavirus. If you would like a copy of a resource we have available, feel free to contact me at the NDSU Extension – Cavalier County office at 256-2560 or by email at katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. Please feel free to reach out to someone if you need help during this time, even if it’s to call a neighbor or friend just to get some peace of mind. Sometimes fear doesn’t feel as overwhelming if we can share it with someone. Take care of yourself. Know that there are rainbows and that there will be more rainbows to come.

Letters from Isolation: It is always a good day when you receive letters from old friends, and this time the messages came in the same envelope. Jackie is now in her 90s, and her handwriting is as good as it was in the 1950s plus she had enclosed a few of her favorite cartoons and stories about life in assisted living in Tucson, Ariz. On a phone call in April she had mentioned eating in their apartments and having their temperatures checked morning and evening. This time she wrote about being scolded when she went for mail or activities and had forgotten her mask. She mentioned she was not lonely as most of the residents there had company every day, and they can go out and visit in the large social room. Activities are down to groups of 5 at a time now, and you must make an appointment to attend. One of the staff had tested positive for the virus so they had come around this week to do tests on the residents – the first time that had been done. She no longer drives, but her neighbors had been out to the malls to shop. Included in the envelope was a neatly typed letter from our mutual friend, Leora, who lives in retirement in Tennessee and drives each day to a nearby park where she can walk for exercise, and then after a nap and visiting with friends by phone, she can drive to a nearby store for groceries. She was hoping to make “Quarantine Stew” – a recipe passed on by others looking for ways to use up leftovers in their refrigerators. She watches the evening news to see how many have died from the virus and which towns the rioters have destroyed the night before. Both of these ladies are people I have known since the 1950s who try to remain upbeat and cheerful even if some days their high points are just completing another bird in the jigsaw puzzle set out on a card table or a phone call from a friend.

As it happened, I had a phone call from a third friend who now lives in Arizona who told me about the heat and the new iPad her son had installed. While the two ladies above have been using e-mail for everything but Christmas cards for years, it was her first personal experience with internet. She had many questions about friends in this area. All three mentioned missing church so when they asked what I was able to do, I was happy to tell them we have had church. Yes, the congregation wore masks, hummed the hymns and avoided shaking hands. Sitting at the piano I am used to people waving as they walk to their favorite pews, but it is nice to see them in attendance. In the meantime any who know me know I am trying to read and in recent weeks have read more about World War II than I thought I wanted to know. The following are some books that readers might like to check out themselves. One Christmas a friend sent me a book with “Potato Peel Pie” in the title. I read it a couple of times, recommended it to others and finally gave it to the Cavalier County Library. Since I no longer know the author a search is still underway to find it again, but the story line has ties to kindertransport and the island of Guernsey which was captured by the Germans early in the war. Children were taken or sent to what was thought to be safer places like England, Canada and even Australia. The US had quotas on how many foreigners they would allow in so only a few of this group made the journey to Denver where they were taken under the wings of JCRS (then a Jewish Rescue Service) and because their parents often did not survive the war were still residents and, at times, co-workers when I lived in Denver. The book is the story of the parents (often mothers since the fathers were needed in the military) and how they survived on a small island without needed supplies and assistance. Jennifer Chiaverini is a long-time quilter who began her writing career with stories about lost quilts, a quilting guild and quilts with special histories. Chiaverini lives in or

Langdon Long Ago

near the University of Wisconsin at Madison which just happens to be a repository for many books and records dealing with World War II. Part of the reason for this is that in the 1920s, numerous European students came to Madison to work on doctoral degrees. One of those special students was Arvid Harnack from Germany, a cousin of a young Lutheran pastor named Dietrich Bonehoeffer. While looking for his economics classroom, Arvid went down a wrong hall and came to a room where a pretty young blonde teacher was lecturing. That teacher was Mildred Fish, and a year later the two were married. His fellowship expired, and he returned to Germany. Eventually she was able to get a visa to join him. The stock market crash in America plus the world wide depression followed and life was difficult for the family in Germany, but with his large extended family there they did not want to leave. Mildred did translating and lecturing but was not always allowed to teach so she had many other jobs. Through those connections and their distrust of Hitler and the Nazi regime, they ended up spending the rest of their lives working with resistance groups. A classmate at Madison, Greta also returned to Germany and married Adam Kuckhoff, working initially with the German theatre. A third woman involved in their resistance work was Martha Dodd, daughter of the American ambassador to Germany stationed in Berlin near the Tiergarten district (a 630 acre park) and the famous Brandenburg Gate on Unter den Linden. This most famous street was well-known in German poetry so an early Cavalier County resident, Herman Allert, who had been born in Berlin, asked to name the township where he had his homestead Linden, and the name remains today. Allert was also the first elected superintendent of schools in our county. Chiaverini’s book weaves the real-life stories of these three women (Mildred, Greta and Martha) with that of fictional Sara Wietz of Jewish heritage in her

book “Resistance Women”. The stories in a different format appear in Erik Larson’s non-fiction book “In the Garden of the Beasts” (the title is the translation of Tiergarten). I ended up reading the two books together for different points of view of the same historical events. Larson’s book has the best coverage of the 1936 Berlin Olympics – an event ignored by many other writers because of its controversial impact. The short version is that Arvid and Mildred Harnack, Adam Kuckhoff and many of their associates lost their lives after being imprisoned in concentration camps. After pre-sentenced trials some were shot, some hung. Mildred, who was born in Milwaukee, died by guillotine. The state of Wisconsin honors her with Mildred Harnack Day on Sept. 16 each year. Greta survived and became an East German social worker helping to unite families after the war as well as a busy career a president of an East German bank. Several of the descendants of their resistance group spent time attend-

ing the University of Wisconsin at Madison. There are many other books about this same era that readers might enjoy which include Jodi Picoult’s “Storyteller” and Kristen Hannah’s “The Nightingale” both published in 2015, Hannah’s “Winter Garden” (WWII in Russia), Bill O’Reilly’s “Death of Patton,” Susan Wigg’s “Map of the Heart" (2017) and her Orchard series, “All the Flowers of Paris" (2019) by newer author Sarah Jio, and Barbara Taylor Bradford’s “Letter to a Stranger” and “Secrets of the Past”. I always smiled over Bradford’s characters who lived in a Berlin basement during the war because. in spite of no food, their telephone was never disconnected, and there was always another bottle of wine in the wine cellar off their basement. “While Still We Live,” by Helen McInnes is Poland’s sad story along with the movie “Cassandra Crossing” and a teen book “My Mother’s Secret,” recommended to me during a recent Reading Bingo.

Cavalier County Republican

Frost Fire Park hosts “Not Prom” for area teenagers

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor

A memory from high school for just about every American is attending prom. This year put a stop to many memory-making events or changed how they were done. For Langdon and Walhalla, both school districts decided to not hold a formal dance for their students leaving that universal memorymaking event unaccounted for in these teens' yearbooks. When COVID-19 restrictions for social gatherings were lessened, area teens Kiarra Hodek and Rebecca Kuhn looked to make a 'Not-Prom' happen for themselves and their friends. “A lot of us haven’t seen each other since school ended. I wanted everyone to have the experience to meet and talk and have fun one last time before they head off to college or whatever their plans are after high school,” Hodek said. The Langdon Area School District had no part in the organization of the Frost Fire event, leaving planning and responsibility to the parents and teens. Hodek informed the school that there was going to be a dance-type event so that they would be aware. She continued to work to find a location to hold the event within the City of Langdon. When that failed, the suggestion for Frost Fire to host was made. “I was more comfortable having it in town but then was contacted, and Steven (Ouellette) really wanted to do this for us out there. Me and Laurie (Delvo) talked about it, and I had to be convinced because I was like

‘I don’t feel comfortable driving at night’ and that was just me caring about my classmates and wanting everyone to get home safe,” Hodek shared. Frost Fire Hospitality Manag-

through a couple of the parents in Langdon. Originally, I heard from parents in Walhalla that were trying to do something. We also did one for Walhalla kids,” Ouellette shared. “So,

much taken away from them these last few months with sports, graduations, proms....it was all for the kids.” Ouellette took both events under his care on behalf of Frost

Fire Park to make them happen while still following the guidelines that were in place during both events. He kept Frost Fire Park General Manager Natalie Grebur and the Frost Fire Park board up-to-date on what was happening with the events. “We wanted to build those relationships with the communities and families in these communities that have already given us and shown us so much support out here. I basically

er Steven Ouellette and Laurie Delvo worked with Hodek and Kuhn to organize a 'Not Prom' for the juniors and seniors of Langdon. Delvo explained that when the Langdon Activity Center would no longer host the event, the small group had only days to get another location and set up the event. Over just three days, Hodek, and Kuhn, with the help of Ouellette and Delvo, were able to put together a fun 'Not-Prom' for over 60 guests. “I heard about the Not Prom

wanting to do something for the kids and they thought this would be the perfect setting with the Gorge and the kids could be outside playing cornhole or sitting around the fire if they wanted. Right from that first initial phone call from both the Walhalla parents and Langdon parents, I just knew I wanted to do it for the kids. They have had so

Not all drinks are created equal. Some can be the equivalent of three and even four drinks. Which is why we say speak in volumes and you’ll speak volumes about how much you’re drinking.

told them that I would like to take them under my wing and go forward with these [events],” Ouellette explained. Frost Fire Park did not charge for the event and also donated some hot hors d’oeuvres for the kids to enjoy while they danced and played the night away. Frost Fire Park was not the only generous business for the event. Nature’s Best in Walhalla also donated table and chair coverings for the 'Not Prom' to dress up the event and provide that formal vibe. “We wanted to make sure to do this for the kids to provide a safe environment for them and a fun environment and give them a little bit of that experience of having prom. In 10 years from now, they can look back and say ‘I’ll remember Prom 2020 forever’. It was completely different,” Ouellette shared. The effort to bring 'Not Prom' to life is a lesson in working together with donations coming from several different areas. From Nature’s Best of Walhalla providing table and chair covers to Delvo and Bob Mostad

assisting with decorations and balloons. Kelly and Amanda Thompson provided the music for the party, with Amanda playing DJ. Larry Stokke of Picture This Photography was present and took photos in an area set up for just that. The party had several chaperones present including Delvo, who had nothing but praise for the teens behavior. “What I witnessed out there that evening was 61 kids relaxed and having the time of their lives. They were totally relaxed. We kept on eye them but didn’t hover over them. We let them have their fun, and we would walk around, but we didn’t want to be intruding. We wanted them to have their own time. It was their party,” Delvo said. Delvo explained that with the costs of everything being covered through donations that the $610 that was raised from the event will be donated to Frost Fire Park in appreciation for their assistance. This donation has the potential to double through matching donations according to Ouellette. The diverse atmosphere of Frost Fire Park and the 'Not Prom' is one that many of the attendees want to recreate for future proms. Delvo shared that

during the night many of the kids in attendance said how much fun the atmosphere was and provided something for everyone rather than the static setting of a high school gym. “I think it went absolutely great. There was something for everyone. For those who didn’t want to dance, there was cornhole outside and a bonfire. I had people come up to me and say ‘This is the best prom I’ve ever been to or experienced because I wasn’t forced to dance’. There was more than just the dancing there. There was just something for everyone,” Hodek commented. Despite 2020 causing a lot of disruption and ending the school year on an incredibly low note, the efforts put forward by Frost Fire Park and those determined to give one normal memory to the year came through. The 2020 'Not Prom' is one memory that area youth will talk about for years as the best event they attended during high school.
