June is Men's Health Month

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor

Catch up with the latest from the Cavalier County Commissioners on Page 3.

Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889

A man's health is his most prized possession, and during the month of June, the United States puts the focus on improving the health of its male citizens. Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Cavalier County Health District want to remind residents that now is a great time to bring the focus back on your general health. “With the warmer temperatures outside, we welcome the start of June and Men's Health Month. As stubborn as we men can be, it is important that we take responsibility for our own health and wellness. This is true whether you've just graduated from high school, are in the 'prime' of life or consider yourself 'high mileage',” Dr. Charles Emerson, MD, of CCMH said. No matter the age, being healthy begins with healthy habits. The Centers for Disease Control offers these tips not only for men but for everyone to take up. By encouraging overall healthy habits, everyone can enjoy good health. Eat healthy and include a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables have many vitamins and minerals that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Limit foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and alcohol. Regular physical activity has many benefits. It can help control your weight, reduce your risk of

heart disease and some cancers, and can improve your mental health and mood. Find fun ways to be active together. Adults need 2.5 hours of physical activity each week. Set an example by choosing not to smoke and encourage the men in your life to quit smoking. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits. You lower your risk for different types of cancer and don’t expose others to secondhand smoke—which causes health problems.

help protect yourself against COVID are the same things that will protect you from other chronic and acute disease. These steps include quitting tobacco, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, eating healthy and reducing stress. It is also important to check with your provider about routine health screenings you may be due for such as colonoscopy, lipid screening, diabetes screenings and blood pressure screening," Stephanie Welsh, RN, Cavalier County Health District

Help the men in your life recognize and reduce stress. Physical or emotional tension are often signs of stress. They can be reactions to a situation that causes you to feel threatened or anxious. Learn ways to manage stress including finding support, eating healthy, exercising regularly, and avoiding drugs and alcohol. "With all the focus on COVID, other health issues seem to be taking a backseat right now. Many of the things you can do to

said. Health care providers, along with family and friends, can and have taken up the cause of reminding men of the importance of getting check-ups. By encouraging men to see a doctor or health professional for regular checkups, health is better taken care of. Knowing your family's health history also makes catching any health issues that much easier. Men can prepare for doctor’s visits. Certain diseases and

conditions may not have symptoms, so checkups help identify issues early or before they can become a problem. It’s important for men (and women) to understand their family health history, which is a written or graphic record of the diseases and health conditions present in your family. It is helpful to talk with family members about health history, write this information down, and update it from time to time. “Doing things like yearly exams and blood work can catch medical issues early on and prevent them from becoming big problems. If you have a family history of cancer, diabetes, or heart disease, a simple yearly lab test and basic physical exam can catch many of these things early,” Dr. Emerson explained. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States, killing 347,879 men in 2017—that’s about 1 in every 4 male deaths. Half of the men who die suddenly of coronary heart disease had no previous symptoms. This “silent killer” may go unnoticed and not be diagnosed until a man experiences signs or symptoms of a heart attack, heart failure, or an arrhythmia. Even if you have no symptoms, you may still be at risk for heart disease. High blood pressure, high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. About half of Americans have at least one of these three risk factors. cont. on page 2

don Area Baseball, they will get started next week. The schedules weren't quite ready at press time, but Babe Ruth baseball will have their first game of the year on June 16, with 10U Little League also starting the same night. 12U Baseball and Girls Softball will once again play Mondays and Wednesdays and will begin on June 15. The Langdon Eagles Babe Ruthers will be trying for their third straight district title, and are coached this year by Jacob Delvo and Hayes Haslekaas. Girls Softball is scheduled to have a shortened season due to the COV-19 restrictions. They will only get six scheduled games before their league tourney on July 11 in Cavalier. While the seasons will all be a bit shorter, it's just great to see activities coming back and kids playing the sports they love. Father's Day weekend tournament scheduled at the Langdon Country Club We will leave you with some more good news, and that is a tournament has been added to the schedule at the Langdon Country Club. It will be a club fundraising 2-person scramble tourney on June 20, open to men and women of all ages. Their will be a signup sheet in the clubhouse shortly. It will begin with a shotgun start on the 20th at 10:00 a.m. Also the club board wanted us to remind golfers that dues must be paid by June 15 to avoid a late fee. You can take care of that also at the clubhouse. "See ya!" next week!

Langdon Red Sox baseball ready to begin season We start this week with some positive news. Baseball is set to get underway for the Langdon Red Sox. Again, as we have told you the last couple of weeks, this is not American Legion Baseball, but what is called "North Dakota Class B Independent League Baseball". The national American Legion office called off baseball activities across the country for this summer, so this is what's taking its place. There are now 40 teams signed up to play across the state. The league will follow the same rules as the spring high school season. There still will be pitch counts, and courtesy runners are allowed, along with players being able to re-enter. One big rule change from Legion ball is that teams can use a designated hitter for any position, not just the pitcher. The Red Sox will have a busy start to their season, playing at Larimore for a league double header on June 8 at 4:30 p.m., hosting Hatton at 5:30 June 10, then taking on Park River at home at 5:30 on June 12. Tanner Groth is once again coaching the team. If you want to find out more information on this new league, check out their website at ndbaseballclassb.com.

Cavalier County Commission discusses steps to reopen

The Cavalier County Commission had a very long meeting on Tuesday, June 2 with discussion of county business including the reopening of the Cavalier County Courthouse. The commissioners also held the county equalization hearing with minimal issues being corrected on the county tax roll. The Commission met first with Cavalier County Road Supervisor Terry Johnston to discuss roads. The commissioners and Johnston discussed the county roads and their upkeep at length as the need to maintain these vital roads is a major priority. They reviewed budgets and options for surface material to give roads more longevity as they carry heavier and larger equipment. The Commission also approved the removal of the load limits, with this taking effect when signs are removed. HR options were reviewed and presented by Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner. Gellner explained that Premier Benefits, which currently provides some insurance for the county employees, is looking at expanding services to include HR for counties. Gellner stated that while Premier Benefits doesn't currently assist counties with HR, it would be worth exploring and that it could be further reviewed following the June Primary as her office is currently busy with the election.

Cavalier County Treasurer Cindy Stremick addressed the Commission on behalf of the salary committee for county employees. Stremick explained that the salary committee will not be requesting an increase for the employees due to the increase in insurance costs. Stremick also stated that should the 911 dispatch request a salary increase due to increase in work load from Towner County calls, the salary committee was in support. The commissioners discussed the COVID-19 situation and the potential for the courthouse to reopen and all employees to return to work. Cavalier County Public Health District Stephanie Welsh was present and stressed the importance of protective barriers being in place as well as having employees wear masks. The commissioners agreed that these measures would be good to implement as well as trying to encourage social distancing and limiting interaction times to keep them as short as possible. Those entering the courthouse will also be encouraged to wear a mask for the safety of all in the courthouse. The Commission directed the courthouse departments to review what measures could be implemented to increase public and employee safety. A decision for opening will be made following the next commission meeting.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

Make Facebook and Google pay for local news, just like you By Dean Ridings CEO, America’s Newspapers Editor’s Note: America’s Newspapers’ advocacy efforts include seeking a more level playing field in the digital environment to provide our members with fair compensation for the use of their content. Members are encouraged to publish the opinion piece and editorial cartoon below or write their own to educate the public and our legislators about this important issue. If you are a newspaper subscriber or you pick up a copy at a local retailer, you pay for the news and information you receive in your paper’s print edition or digital outlets. But it may surprise you to learn that the multi-billion-dollar digital behemoths Facebook and Google don’t pay for the enormous amounts of news content they scoop up from newspapers every second. Facebook doles out a little bit of money through grants and funds to a few publishers — and Google provides some small grants through its News Initiative. While these are positive steps, they in no way make up for the use of the news content they are using for free. Newspapers’ original reporting, especially on the community news and information that only local papers can provide, drive traffic to Facebook and Google, keeping people on their sites longer and attracting advertisers. And news is a rich source of revenue for the Big Tech platforms. A 2019 study conducted by the News Media Alliance concluded that news publishers’ content makes up 16-39%

of Google’s search results, which goes largely uncompensated. That figure doesn’t include the more intangible benefits that news content, and the data that comes with it, provide the search giant, such as using it for new product development. The irony is that the news and content that newspapers pay journalists to provide is used by Google and Facebook to steadily drive advertising revenue away from newspapers, and into their coffers. The two digital giants now gobble up 60% of all online advertising in the United States — an amount certain to increase with the cratering of newspaper ad revenue caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Facebook and Google don’t have reporters or the associated expense. They rely on small and large newspapers to feed their search results. Here’s why this patently unfair situation should concern you and your community: It now threatens the existence of some local newspapers, the source of news and information that underpins democracy and civic life itself. It’s long past time for Google and Facebook to do what newspapers and their subscribers do: Pay for the local news that benefits them so richly. There are ways for that to happen. Ideally, Google and Facebook would take the responsibility and voluntarily propose a method to share revenue with newspapers and other news organizations. They already pay licensing fees to music publishers, for instance. Realistically, though, the two behemoths will have to be forced to a solution. America’s Newspapers,

an association of some 1,500 newspapers including many operated by families for multiple generations, along with the News Media Alliance and other media associations have urged Congress to pass the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, allowing newspaper publishers as a group to negotiate rates with Big Tech. Other nations around the world have taken notice of the ill effect the market dominance of Google and Facebook has on the viability of independent journalism. Australia is now developing a code that would require Google and Facebook to compensate news organizations when their content is used in the digital giants’ news products. Similarly, France just ordered Google to negotiate with news publishers over pay for news content. This public health crisis has demonstrated the importance of the reporting of local newspapers, even as it has wreaked economic havoc on them, forcing layoffs and even silencing printing presses on some days. Requiring Google and Facebook to pay their fair share for news would go a long way to restoring the longterm health of your local newspaper. On behalf of its approximately 1,500 newspaper and associate member companies, America’s Newspapers is committed to explaining, defending and advancing the vital role of newspapers in democracy and civil life. We put an emphasis on educating the public on all the ways newspapers contribute to building a community identity and the success of local businesses. Learn more: www.newspapers.org

Cooking with a purpose… About a year ago Lutheran Social Services came up with a clever fundraiser to commemorate 100 years. They reprinted a cookbook that was called the Lutheran Home Cookbook from 1920. The Lutheran Home was a place in downtown Fargo that supported the advancement of women. In today’s digital world, all we have to do is pull up a recipe on the Internet. Some of us get them on social media, some of us have subscriptions to cooking magazines while others exchange recipes like these women did in the late teens and early ‘20s. It’s amazing how cutting edge this cookbook was for its time. It’s obvious after reading all the way through it that these women did their homework because 100 years later, even though some of our favorite foods are much different, it still represents the best in nutrition. In the beginning, the Lutheran Home Cookbook lists four food groups and specifically what they mean. Today we have the charts that provide visuals of what those food groups are. In 1920, they are listed and defined such as Group I minerals, Group II - protein, Group III - vitamins and Group IV - carbohydrates. What I found really interesting in this two-page explanation of groups is what these food groups will do for your body. As an example, Iodine, which is present in spinach, oatmeal, salmon, cucumbers and eggs, is an excellent way to prevent goiter, an enlargement in the thyroid gland. In Group II, which includes peas, lentils, peanuts and beans, these items are needed for rebuilding worn out tissue of the organs, blood and muscles. It also states that “the health of many people would be better if they ate more vegetables and less meat.” There is more information about children and how a growing child needs this group of foods more than an adult. Group III is those foods high in vitamins. “Four different kinds of vitamins have been discovered and are distinguished as A, B, C, D.” We know that now very well, but apparently this breakdown was new at the time. It lists what each vitamin group is good for and what each will prevent, such as Vitamin C which prevents a disease called scurvy, a disease characterized by swollen bleeding gums and the opening of previously healed wounds. Group IV lists sugars and starches and how potatoes are the main starchy food and that wheat, barley, rye, oats and corn are fuel foods. Group IV is where items like honey, syrup, molasses and sugars supply heat and energy to the body but any highly refined food such as granulated brown or white sugar has “little or no vitamins” and don’t provide any building materials. This book also has a page which explains measurements, cross referencing, as an example, 2 cups of

butter represents 1 pound. The rest of the book of 134 pages lists recipes of the various food groups and that some of them are quite different than what we know today. Keep in mind, these were all common, or at least introduced foods in Fargo at the time. Following are some that we are all familiar with today: potato soup, tomato soup and beef vegetable soup. Others not so recognizable include oyster bisque, fruit soup and marrow fat pea soup. There’s one called “North Dakota Chop Suey,” that includes five onions, one package of spaghetti, 2 pounds of ground beef, 1 quart of tomatoes and 1 stock (sic) celery. “Fry the onions in butter until brown; add meat and cook 15 minutes; add cooked spaghetti and tomatoes and cook slowly for one hour; when ready add celery.” How about stuffed onions, peanut loaf with tomato sauce, asparagus omelet, deviled tomatoes, turmeric pickles or Mrs. Coolidge’s pineapple salad. Personally, I’m looking forward to trying the turmeric pickles when I start getting some cucumbers. I’ll be honest, I’ve had poor luck canning good tasting pickles. I want to try these to see how they turn out. Dorthea Nevramon, who had numerous recipes listed in this cookbook, has one called beet and macaroni salad. “It’s a salad men like” and one of the ingredients is ¾ teaspoon of evaporated horseradish. Here’s one I’ll bet you won’t find at Starbucks; prune mocha. It uses the obvious, prunes, strong coffee, evaporated milk, sugar and even a dash of salt. Gee, I wonder what that tastes like? There’s even a section in this cookbook on how to make candies, many of them. That’s interesting in itself since at the beginning of the book, it cautions against using too much sugar. The miscellaneous section is where the Scandinavian heritage comes through with the likes of lefse, Danish kringler and rhubarb punch. One of my favorites is cabbage rolls. It’s almost verbatim of a cabbage roll recipe that is often used in German cooking in Linton, Ashley, Hague, Wishek and Napoleon. When I was living in my hometown and would frequent the neighboring communities, the trip wasn’t complete without a stop, say in the Linton Café for cabbage rolls. That’s another one I’d like to try and see if it tastes like the cabbage rolls that were mass produced in Linton. The last two pages of the cookbook include recipes for 50 servings. I’m assuming it has something to do with threshing crews and cattle drives because the choices are fairly obvious; scalloped potatoes, baked beans, chocolate ice cream, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. To the best of my knowledge, there were only a certain number of these books produced for the LSS centennial. However, it doesn’t hurt to inquire if you might be interested in obtaining one. You may call 701235-7341, log on to (lssnd.org) or write Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota, PO Box 389, Fargo, ND 58107.

Dear Editor

Letter to the Editor: Leaving treatment without a plan is like going on a road trip without a map. It is very important to have a set plan before leaving treatment. The plan should be realistic and the recovering person should be able to follow it without getting discouraged. This plan should include both structure and accountability. It should also have goals that are reachable and reasonable. This helps the recovering person feel accomplished and productive. The plan does not have to be filled with things you don’t typically want to do. It should incorporate some fun things as well, so they don’t get burnt out. After a long day of being productive maybe they would like to go to the gym or the beach, that’s completely fine. The quickest way to relapse after treatment is a person having way too much time on their hands. Where getting drunk or high filled this time before they went to treatment. They should now fill this new found time with a solid plan in a structured environment. Following this plan can help eliminate the stress and anxiety that comes up when going back into the real world after completing treatment. This will greatly increase a person’s chances of being successful and remaining clean and sober.

For more information on having a plan after treatment, go to https://www.narconon-suncoast. org/blog/leaving-treatment-without-a-plan-is-like-going-on-a-roadtrip-without-a-map.html. If you are in need of a referral to a treatment center, call us at 877-841-5509 Shauna Krout Clearwater, Fla. Dear Editor, The statewide treasurer's race has received a lot of attention as of late with President Trump weighing in on Twitter on which Republican candidate he supports. Yet it is still concerning to me how little the average voter knows about each candidate’s record. Though this race is relatively low-profile, it is an extremely important position at stake. I would like to encourage voters to carefully research both candidates and ensure they understand the issues clearly before casting their votes. Their websites are: johnstonfornd.com (Dan Johnston) and thomasbeadle.com (Thomas Beadle). Also, I would recommend checking out their legislative history and conservative rating at conservative.org (American Conservative Union). Abigail Wilson Rolette

Farmers Markets Can Accept SNAP Benefits

(Photo courtesy of the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.) Farmers markets and farm stands have the opportunity to increase access to fresh, local food for all community members by becoming an authorized retailer for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that provides economic benefits on a monthly basis to individuals and families with limited resources. Farmers markets and farm stands have to take a few steps to be able to accept SNAP benefits. They must: 1. Create an account with the USDA at https://www.eauth.usda.gov/eauth/b/usda/ registration. 2. Complete the online application within 30 days of starting the application at https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap. To complete this application, farmers markets or farm stands will need a personal Social Security number or government employer identification number (EIN), photo ID, address of the market or stand and (anticipated) sales data. 3. Submit supporting documents. 4. Check the application status. The Food and Nutrition Service takes 30 to 45 days to approve or deny applications. A farmers market or farm stand can begin accepting SNAP at any point in the season after approval. ”Be sure to include training for market staff, vendors and customers prior to rolling out the SNAP program,” advises Jan Stankiewicz, North Dakota State University Extension community health and nutrition specialist. “While there can be great economic benefits to individuals and communities if farmers markets accept SNAP, it is important to note that there are costs associated with the program,” Stankiewicz adds. “These include transaction fees (which can vary between 10 and 15 cents per transaction, depending on merchant services and agreements), equipment rental/lease fees

if the equipment is not purchased, monthly service fees for a merchant account and any wireless connection fees.” Choosing the appropriate equipment to process SNAP transactions is an important consideration, she notes. Farmers markets and farm stands have several options to choose from, and the best option will depend on the market’s needs. Farmers markets and farm stands should start with wireless equipment options, then gather information from fellow markets and merchant services providers to determine which piece of equipment will work best. The North Dakota Department of Human Services (NDDHS) can assist with off-setting some or all of the cost of the SNAP electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card reading machine. Funding is available to reimburse a limited number of new markets for the cost of the equipment, up to $1,200. Depending on the needs of the market, the NDDHS also can provide signage and a banner to promote and inform customers of SNAP acceptance. A new option for equipment support soon will be available through a cooperative agreement with the National Association of Farmers Market Nutrition Programs called The App. The App is a SNAP mobile transaction processing application. It is free of cost for one year. It enables farmers markets to accept SNAP EBT payments on their own smart device. “Successful SNAP programs at farmers markets and farm stands will rely on marketing and promotion, strong community partnerships, time and consistency,” Stankiewicz says. In North Dakota, the Department of Human Services (DHS) distributes approximately $7 million in SNAP benefits to 27,200 households on a monthly basis via an EBT card. In April 2020, the DHS reported a 34% increase in SNAP applications as a result of a loss of income and/or COVID-19. In fiscal year 2019, $4,635 in SNAP dollars were spent at 11 farmers market across the state, which is significantly less than 1% of SNAP distributions. “As more and more farmers markets accept SNAP, there is an overwhelming opportunity to bridge the gap in SNAP benefits being spent on local foods,” Stankiewicz says. “Furthermore, every $1 in SNAP benefits can generate $1.70 in economic activity, and that benefit can increase exponentially when applying to the local food economy.” For questions and technical assistance, contact Stankiewicz at 701-328-9719 or jan.stankiewicz@ndsu.edu.

How God Speaks (Part 2 of 4) Last week, we saw that God speaks through the Bible, His message to all of mankind. Hebrews 1:1-2 tells us, “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our Fathers by the prophets. But in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things through whom also He created the world.” Yes, God is speaking to the world through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. According to the book of Colossians, He does this through seven amazing statements pertaining to Christ’s pre-eminence (1:18), His creatorship (1:16), His glory (1:27), His representations (1:15),

May 19, 2020 On May 19, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. Greg Goodman attended via phone conference. The courthouse was operating in lockdown at the time of this meeting in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To comply with North Dakota open meetings laws, the meeting was live streamed on Facebook. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser added load limits to the agenda and asked if there were any changes to the agenda. David Zeis made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. There was discussion about the mapping problem with the Census reporting which Shannon Duerr, JDA, discovered. Duerr will continue to communicate on the problem. Stanley Dick discussed the North Central Housing Authority Board, which he has agreed to continue on for 6 more months. Dick also discussed progress with the Northern Valley Human Service Zone plan. A draft of the plan will need to be submitted to the state by June 1st. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and discussed transporting the oil crew to the job site with the current COVID-19 pandemic. It was decided to utilize a couple of the county pickups so fewer employees are in each vehicle. Comp time being accrued on a couple of the roadmen’s timesheets was discussed. Nick Moser stated he would sign off on the sheet if the commissioners for that district addressed the issue with his employees. Moser reiterated that the employees should not be banking comp time hours and that they need to be used as soon as possible after they are accrued. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve a 36” X 40’ culvert in Fremont Township (request was for a 50’ culvert), which was rusted out, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Johnston informed the commissioners that KLJ felt the surveys to research the County 55 paving project in the gorge would be good for 4-5 years, but the geotech surveys for possible slide locations would need to be redone. It was decided to wait until there is potential funding from the state to assist with the project. Load limits were discussed. The commissioners stated that everyone needed to make sure that the gravel contractors were following the load limits. Johnston stated that one of the contractors is charging a 25% surcharge when hauling with a tandem truck for washouts. Load limits will be reviewed again at the June 2nd meeting. At 9:15 a.m. the meeting was recesses for

5-10 minutes due to an issue with the Facebook live feed. The meeting continued with discussion regarding the need for law enforcement on County 13 to control speed and enforce load limits. There was also discussion on another beaver blocking the new culvert at Cole’s Crossing, as well as Ramsey County’s request for the county to cost share replacing an 18-foot bridge on the county line which is on Cavalier County’s bridge inventory. The request was for the county to pay 50% of the culverts to replace the bridge. The commission was in agreement as long as Ramsey County shares in future replacements on the county line. It was decided to wait on approval until they know the cost of the project. A garage door needing to be replaced on the Osnabrock shop was discussed. Moser stated that they were getting quotes on the cost to replace it. The commissioners were in agreement to go ahead with replacing it if the cost was under $3,000. Later in the meeting it was decided to wait until the quotes could be reviewed at the next meeting. There was discussion on the Conditional Use Permit being requested for the SIRN tower in Montrose Township. The commissioners were in agreement if the Planning and Zoning Board decides to waive the permit fee as the tower will be used by the county. Stephanie Bata, Tax Director, met with the commissioners regarding the mapping of NWL parcels in the Sidwell program. Bata stated she would continue to keep the parcels in taxation the way they are, but would like to combine the parcels in Sidwell. The commissioners suggested getting a quote to make the changes in Sidwell one township at a time and present it with her budget. Bata also discussed County Equalization with the commissioners in light of the courthouse still being locked down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The commissioners were in agreement to put an ad in the newspaper to have the taxpayers phone conference into the meeting if they have any parcels they want to address. Bata stated she would also be in contact with the assessors to see if they want to conference in via phone for the meeting. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve a raffle permit for the Walhalla Country Club, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. The commissioners discussed the status of the county offices being locked down due to the pandemic. Moser suggested that the commission serve as the committee to decide when the county offices will re-open. The commissioners decided to continue the lockdown and review it again at the next meeting. Out of state travel by county employees was discussed. The commission decided to have the employees self-monitor and wear a face mask if they are in close contact with a co-worker or customer. Departments were

Langdon Long Ago By Rita Maisel

This has been a week with so many changes from hour to hour that my column needs many corrections, so we begin again. Graduation: With daily reminders from KNDK, the governor and other sources we were set to listen to the North Dakota Graduation Special with pictures of all the grads from 181 North Dakota High Schools plus a speech by Carson Wentz. One announcement even mentioned the whole ceremony would be in newspapers coming out that day – famous last words as it happened. The appointed time came, and I tried every station on the radio dial but not having internet or a television missed the special event. With a reduced newspaper schedule, the Grand Forks Herald had switched to mail only copies (no extras for newsstands). When a copy reached me, we learned it had been printed before the graduation story had reached the newspaper copy room desk. Protests and Riots: Meanwhile events began in the Minneapolis area resulting in a death and arrests there. In Grand Forks there was another death, and the radio had news flashes from the fallout begun by the first death which ranged from support rallies to looting and burning. Among the many sites destroyed was a museum in Minneapolis with 150 years of memorabilia from original tribes in the area – material available nowhere else in the world. Canadian stations had reports from situations involving hundreds to thousands of people from New York, Quebec, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and many other centers. It would be Sunday evening before the problems in Fargo reached some of us by phone. When a cousin mentioned the area where much of the damage was located, I could remember walking in that area as a child and then across the bridge to Moorhead where my mother would point out the hospital where I was born. Like many readers, that gets too close to home. As I write today many of the news stories and interviews are on race relations which have simmered for many years. Older adults may remember Selma, Watts, Detroit, the 1960s March on Washington, Brown vs. the Board of Education (an event that brought North Dakota’s Judge Davies into prominence. Fargo now has a school named for him), the story of Rosa Parks, the killing of Martin Luther King Jr., and by extension the whole story of the KKK going back to Civil War times. Some might have forgotten that a large part of the civil rights era was an effort to gain voting rights for black citizens. I remember college friends going to the south, especially to Mississippi, to help with that effort. The Cavalier County Library has a new book on some of the civil rights workers who tried to help out and were tragically eliminated. If you have not seen some of the movies from that era or the more recent church burnings, this book focuses on the instigators of that form of terrorism who are still active in inciting current troubles. Working for the Denver Public Schools at the time, I had been assigned to the largest elementary school west of the Mississippi. The principal was a determined lady and chairman of the Equal Opportunity Board charged with integrating the 144 public schools operating in Denver at the time. Since my secretarial work was part-time to allow me to take classes for a Colorado teaching license, I was drafted as secretary for the integration meetings held during the evening hours- no vote or voice, just type and listen in. About 1/4 of the students in Denver at that time were black or mixed race and had previously attended schools with less amenities than were found in the wealthier white neighborhoods. Many also lived in sub-standard housing with parents working in

lower paying jobs. By the time I started teaching full-time the students in my classes were all races, and except for a wave of Cuban refugee students, all spoke some English. Inner city schools are a whole different ballgame. Race riots and problems associated with them are seen more often in hot summers or early falls. This year they are starting earlier. Pandemic Thoughts: Readers continue to ask me to write about how local people are adjusting to the pandemic, and to be honest I think most in North Dakota are doing pretty well but tired of the isolation which leads to loneliness and frustration. We wear our masks to protect those we might encounter not for our own safety. We adjust to items hard or impossible to get. You do not know how much people value their barbers until hairstyles get long and shaggy. We really miss the foot care service offered at the senior center. There is a shopping list for when the bus runs to Grand Forks where I know what stores have that is not carried here. I miss going to church and am sorry some want to limit that option only to people “under 60 years of age”. Television, internet or cell phone church from distant sources is not the same as actually being there. Congregational singing is discouraged so my frequent seat at the piano is not considered a priority. In the meantime, Langdon Presbyterian Church on the radio has been a most appreciated community service. I have volunteered not to hug or shake hands with other members, but the jury is still out on whether they will let me in or not. People in nursing homes or congregate living sites can be frustrated by not being able to eat together or to have their families visit them but do have daily interaction with staff and some activities. Isolation is also hard for people who live alone in a house or apartment. If you have a yard or garden or even a pet, at least you can talk to the pet or plants. A few years back my aunt living alone in Langdon would write in her diary “saw no one but the milkman all week.” If I was stranded by a storm and could not come on weekends she was very glad to have someone come to shovel snow or pick up groceries. In the beginning of the pandemic, we were told to write letters and to call friends and family. I did quite a bit of both. Some of the letters turned out to be like my shopping lists – not legible. Friends and family have unknown personal schedules. All phone calls might not come at convenient times. Sometimes it is a sense of humor that gets you by, but a comedian on the long running show “Laugh Out Loud” told us three months ago that there is nothing humorous about a pandemic. He decided to change the spelling of the word to pundemic and make fun of words not people. His sketches could be known as “punny”. The program has been replaced by breaking news reports neither funny or punny. Readers have sent me notes suggesting that I must be in seventh heaven with all this free time and tons of books to read. The truth is the free time is not all that plentiful, and after years of donating boxes of books to libraries I slowed down on purchasing them. There is a protocol for library use in Langdon so I am grateful to accommodating librarians. And then there are the observances of those around us. Canada has opened day care but only if each and every child wears a mask and plays six feet from all other children. It may be a rule pre-schoolers cannot manage. Langdon has a helmet law of sorts. I have seen dozens of bike riders in recent weeks and today for the first time saw two wearing helmets. Hope a policeman spots them and gives them a ticket for a free Dairy Queen! On another interview today someone mentioned that he really wished we could move the clock back to February. What were we doing then? And why has so much changed in the meantime?

Jeff Mostad becomes Association Vice President The Professional Insurance Agents of North Dakota (PIAND) Board of Directors promoted Jeff Mostad by electing him from board member to vice president at the association’s annual meeting on May, 28, 2020. PIAND represents independent insurance agents by promoting and communicating industry interests to the public, government, and its membership. Mostad serves clients from his Mostad Insurance Ins. Inc. Agency

in Langdon, ND. Mostad has been advancing insurance agent and client interests from his PIAND Board of Directors seat since 2017. As vice president, Mostad becomes an executive committee member from where he will identify the direction and positions this trade association takes and make influential decisions about issues facing insurance agents and customers. Many of these issues require attention in the state and the nation’s capital where Mostad will work to keep PIAND and its members informed and well represented. “I am honored to be a part of such a great association!” Mostad said.
