As Department Commander, Anderson will be responsible for and accountable to all the American Legion posts in the state. The position will allow him to interact with members and posts all across North Dakota. “As I travel throughout the state, I assist, encourage, lead and direct the posts’ officers on how to attract members, community service within their town and county, strengthen, and guide the posts,” said Anderson.

sist, it may be PTSD. Suicide and thoughts of suicide are higher in those who suffer from PTSD, especially those who cope with it by not expressing their feelings. Vet-

erans may feel guilt or anger related to actions taken during combat. “I fully intend to bring this subject out of the dark,” said Anderson. “It’s time to ‘take off the mask’ about PTSD and suicide.” This means opening up and talking about it, and he does so himself, telling others of his own struggles. “I suffer from PTSD daily,” shares Anderson. “I have con-

templated suicide on a number of occasions. People are going to read this and be shocked and think ‘holy crap, I didn’t know this about Steve.’ That’s exactly the point. We don’t know what others are going through because it’s hard to talk about it. When you do mention it, people think your weird, or suck it up, or put on your big boy pants, etc.” Anderson said he needed help and thanks to the tough love of his wonderful wife, he got that help and is able to talk about it now. “That is my goal this year - to talk about it and show that there is help out there.” Anderson will attend Legion meetings and training in Indianapolis and Washington, DC and attend national conventions in Phoenix and Milwaukee. He is also the Veterans Service Officer for Cavalier County, taking over on November 1, 2020, after the retirement of Leon Hiltner. “My year as Department Commander will not affect my VSO job at all. They are two completely separate entities,” said Anderson. Most post meetings and trips will occur Thursday through Sunday. Anderson is passionate about his message and wants to reach those who are suffering and the people who care for them. “I leave you with this,” said Anderson, “I’d rather talk to you and hear your story than attend your funeral.”

Carlson new administrator at MMCC By Linda Timian Republican Writer

Jason Carlson has been selected as the new administrator of Maple Manor Care Center starting July 1, 2021. Carlson has worked in health care for over 35 years in many different positions from maintenance to nursing. He has been a CEO/administrator in various facilities from critical access hospitals to nursing homes in both Minnesota and North Dakota for 17 of those years. Carlson grew up in Karlstad, Minn., and then earned his diploma in practical nursing from Northland Community College. Later he earned a bachelor of science degree in applied psychology from Bemidji State University and an MBA in healthcare from the University of Mary. Carlson saw the job opening at Maple Manor online, submitted his information to the board of directors, and interviewed with the search committee for the administra-

tor position. “I am excited to be a part of the team here at Maple Manor Care Center,” said Carlson. He notes that the great staff who care for the residents along with the beautiful facility are among Maple Manor’s biggest strengths. “Some of the challenges we see here at MMCC are the same challenges all facilities in our state are facing right now,” said Carlson, “and they are staffing and census.” During the past year, North Dakota has seen the occupancy rate drop down into the 70% range and only recently surpassed 80% among long term care facilities. This in turn impacts budgeting and staffing. Carlson is commuting from his home in East Grand Forks while he gets started in his new job. “I look forward to settling in to this position,” said Carlson, “and getting to know everyone that is involved with our facility and becoming a part of the Langdon community.”

The 122nd annual 2nd of August Icelandic Celebration (now also known as The Deuce of August) will be held on July 30, 31, and August 1, 2021. Each year, nominations are taken for parade Grand Marshal and Honorary Grand Marshal; the nominees must have been born, raised or contributed their time and talents or gifts to the Icelandic communities in northeast North Dakota and have displayed outstanding pride in, service to, and commitment to our communities. The Honorary Grand Marshal is a posthumous honor. The Icelandic Communities Association is pleased to announce the 2021 Parade Grand Marshals are Richard and Janyce Bjornson. Richard and Janyce Bjornson are long-time Mountain ‘kids’. They were raised in Mountain and went to both grade school and high school in Mountain. Richard is the son of the late Chris & Gunna Bjornson of Mountain, and Janyce is the daughter of the late Conrad and Briet Gudmundson, rural Mountain. They were high school sweethearts and graduated in 1958; they were married November 22, 1958, at the Vikur Lutheran Church. They lived in Mountain for a while then moved to Grand Forks when Richard took a job with the North Dakota Truck Regulatory Department; later, he was transferred to Carrington. In

1966, Richard took the test for a job with the State Highway Patrol; this started a career that took him to State Highway Patrol posts across the state — Cando, Carrington, and Williston. In 1976-1977 he attended Northwestern University Traffic Institute in Evanston, Illinois, to further his education in their traffic law enforcement program. In 1989 he was transferred to Bismarck where he was promoted to Major and was 2nd in Command at the Capital Headquarters. He was President of the Peace Officers Association and worked for the Attorney General’s Office for 1 year. He retired from the State Highway Patrol in 1994. After retirement, he worked as a security guard at the William L. Guy Federal Courthouse until January 2000. Through all these career moves, Janyce built a loving home for their family in each of the communities. She also worked in retail, childcare, as secretary/bookkeeper for Cummins Diesel, and worked at 1st National Bank of Williston and the Credit Bureau in Bismarck. The roles she takes the greatest pride in are that of ‘Mom’ to their three sons: Rick, Jeff, and Greg and ‘Amma’ to Alison and Magi. Richard and Janyce say that their Icelandic heritage has always been especially important to them. All their grandparents were born in Iceland. They traveled twice to

Iceland, once in 2000 and again in 2009. The trip in 2009 was with Jonas Thor’s Heritage Tour where all participants were descendants of Icelandic immigrants, and they visited the farms, churches, and homes of their ancestors. Richard and Janyce also served as tour guides for visiting Icelandic travelers during the 2nd of August celebrations, sharing the stories of the Icelandic settlements here in North Dakota. Richard and Janyce have been members of the Icelandic Heritage Society of Minot, the Fargo-Moorhead Icelandic Klub, and the Icelandic Communities Association. The community of Mountain has always been important to them, and they continue to maintain a home in Mountain. Recently, they moved from Bismarck to make their home in Williston to be closer to family. Their family includes Rick and Zona and granddaughter Alison in Williston, Jeff and Becky in Moorhead, Minn., and Greg and Jaci and granddaughter Magi in Farmington, Minn. The celebration festivities include the American Legion Walleye Fry on Friday night, a parade at 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning (broadcast live on KXPO) and Heritage Program at 2 p.m. Saturday. The North Dakota State Tractor Pull will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

122nd 2nd of August Icelandic Celebration honorary parade grand marshals The Icelandic Communities Association is pleased to announce the Honorary Parade Grand Marshals (posthumous honor) for the 2021 celebration are Chris & Stina Gudmundson. Kristján “Chris” Gudmundson was born on December 2, 1891, in Mountain, ND. His parents, Sigurbjörn Guðmundsson and Anna Sigríður Guðnadóttir, had both emigrated from Iceland to Canada but eventually settled in Mountain where Chris was born and grew up on their farm southwest of Mountain. Kristín “Stina” Sæmundsdóttir Sigurdson was born in Njarðvík, Iceland, on December 28, 1889. Her parents, Sæmundur Sigurðsson and Steinunn Arinbjarnardóttir, had emigrated from Iceland in 1893 with 4 of their 7 children. Stína and 2 of her brothers were left in the care of relatives in Iceland. Each of them was to join their family in Mountain at the approximate age of ten. Stína emigrated from Iceland in 1899. Chris and Stina were married on August 21, 1916, in Winnipeg. They spent their entire married life in Mountain. They had three children: Edward “Eddie”, Rose, and May. The couple celebrated their 50th Anniversary on August 21, 1966, at an open house at Vikur Lutheran

Church. All of their friends and relatives were invited to attend. Stina passed away from cancer on January 7th, 1970. After the death of Stina, Chris would travel to Seattle during the winter months and live at the home of his daughter, May, and her husband, Stony Hermann, and their family. Both Chris and Stina were very active in the community. Chris was a former member of the Board of Directors at Borg Memorial Home and was also a former school board member. He was a member of the Tongue River Masonic Lodge. Chris and Stina were both active at their church, Vikur Lutheran. In earlier years, Chris worked at the Livery in Mountain. In 1947 he went into a partnership with John Byron to

operate the Mountain Cash Store. Many people remember him from his years working at the store. He was a kind and generous man and had great wit. Later in life, he sold cars and worked for Soeby Motor Company in Walhalla. Chris passed away on August 4, 1980, and is buried in the Mountain Cemetery alongside his wife. Stina was an active member at Vikur Lutheran Church and a member of the Ladies Aid. She had the gift of hospitality, and their home was always open to anyone who wanted to stop by for a cup of coffee or a meal. She and Chris welcomed their daughter, May, and her daughters to stay with them during the summer months during their childhoods. Stina suffered from multiple myeloma for about 9 years before her death on January 7, 1970. Rev. Harold Manson said at her service that Stina was always faithful in all of her trusts and relationships. He also said that Stina was a faithful wife and mother. For over fifty years she and Chris enjoyed one of the most beautiful and fine Christian marriage relationships that has ever been known. A person only needed to step through the doorway of their home to sense immediately that here was a place where love dwelt.

Walhalla’s blood drive brings in 18 volunteers Walhalla Senior Citizens hosted a blood drive with Vitalant on July 1, at Senior Citizens Center which helped collect a total of 17 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 18 individuals volunteered to donate blood and 14 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on 7/01. A total of 3 donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Norma Storey, who coordinated the drive, and Walhalla Senior Citizens which sponsored the blood drive, as well as others who assisted the day of the drive: Barb Schmidt. Living through a pandemic can lead to many uncertainties, although one thing we are sure of, is that the need for blood never ceases.

Blood is only useable for 42 days, so a constant supply is always needed, no matter the season. Each day in this region to keep up with patient needs including preemies, surgery patients, accident victims and those battling cancer, 250 volunteer blood donors are needed daily! Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at donors.vitalant.org or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn reward points! The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on: Tuesday, October 19, 2021 Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments, while the blood draw typically taking less than 10 minutes. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org/health

The Langdon City Commission met Monday, July 12, for their scheduled meeting. A recording of the meeting was unavailable. According to KNDK News and city auditor minutes, the multiple commercial accounts topic was presented with two options. One being the original amended ordinance and the other one was what a handful of businesses provided. A suggested small dollar amount to be added on to the city residents' bills was not supported by the commissioners, who mentioned they’ve already received several complaints. A special meeting in the next week will occur to discuss how the ordinance could be written by adding wording for sharedspace businesses. Referencing from the city auditor's minutes, the Activity Center reported the painting crew should be there this week and the key fob system was scheduled to be repaired Wednesday, July 14th. From Moore Engineering on Phase 1, work is still scheduled to start the week of July 19 for sewer, water, and storm drain improvements. Phase 2 will involve roadway work and is tentatively set to start the week for July 12. Mikkelsen Brothers bid was accepted to demo the old water

building. Tim Domres attended the meeting with questions on the steel siding ordinance. After a review of the ordinance the commissioners agreed that the ordinance should be amended. Quentin Wenzel will change the square footage in the ordinance and bring this back to the commission. Concerns of unkept lots and homes in town was discussed and that they need to be cleaned up. The city has compiled a list of homes that are in the legal process of being condemned. JDA Shannon Duerr was present with two requests. The first request was a $10,000 grant for the baseball board Phase 1 project that was approved. The second was for the Flex Pace interest buydown loan for up to $16,000 to Jeff Mostad for the purchase of an apartment building. This was also approved by the board. 705 6th Street has requested the driveway be repaired as the city had to dig up the driveway due to a water line break. Two local contractors are unable to fix the driveway till the fall but suggested if the owner found a contractor and brings in a bid that is acceptable- the city would pay for it. The next scheduled meeting will be Monday, July 26, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall.

New interactive maps help caregivers find resources for child passenger safety The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) Child Passenger Safety Program has launched Child Passenger Safety Resource Interactive Maps.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

Fifty years ahead of his time A Mark Andrews newsletter from August 1975 surfaced here in my office, and its contents are about solar energy being a bright hope for the future of the United States. Andrews, who passed away on Oct. 3 of last year, was a Republican senator from North Dakota who represented us in Washington from 1981 to 1987 and was a candidate for governor in 1962. He was 94 when he died. His newsletter is very forward thinking and lays out many of the challenges we’re having now. Here’s a summary of what it said. Again, this is from August 1975. “Forecasts of a depletion of our oil and gas reserves by the year 2000 have stimulated interest in alternative sources of energy – coal, nuclear generation, geothermal power and solar energy. Because solar energy is a most important investment for the future, the House has voted to triple funding for its research, development, and demonstration for fiscal year 1976. If the Senate concurs with this action, nearly $150 million will be available for this much needed research. Too few people realize the effect an energy shortage has on our lives. For example, it takes the equivalent of 2 pounds of coal to produce a 1-pound loaf of bread and a half glass of diesel fuel for a glass of milk. The economic, political, and environmental costs of our dependence on fossil fuels are painfully obvious, and they threaten to grow worse. They make clear the simple fact that our hunger for energy will eventually exhaust these resources. Once effectively harnessed, solar energy could provide us with an almost inexhaustible source of energy. Japan already has 2 million homes heated by solar energy collector panels, but scientists are just beginning to find ways to convert the sun’s energy into raw electricity to fuel our factories. This nation’s solar energy research, which will be supervised by the Energy Research and Development Administration, is to be aimed at developing and demonstrating technologies to collect and convert solar energy into electricity to make possible initial energy contribution by 2000.”

You’ll notice that Mr. Andrews didn’t mention wind power in his newsletter, but yet his successor, Kent Conrad, was a strong proponent of wind energy. Today, there are numerous wind farms scattered across the state with a very minuscule amount of solar power being generated. What changed? Why did we steer so far away from solar when Andrews touted it like he did? Perhaps research indicated there wasn’t enough light in North Dakota to make that happen. In the sunbelt, there are countless solar farms just about in any direction you look but not here. You’ll see some solar farms in central Minnesota in the Sauk Centre area, but it also appears to be a “new” thing in Minnesota. Was Senator Andrews 50 years ahead of his time, or was it nothing more than speculation that didn’t go anywhere, like the Edsel? What Andrews did know back in 1975, was that fossil fuels will someday be depleted and eventually disappear. The United States has about 40 years of oil in reserves that is available or easy to get at. What happens by 2060 if we don’t promote alternative energies? We may be in big trouble if we don’t. As it turned out, oil companies were actually the ones who were promoting solar energy, because they understood that fossil fuels would become too expensive. After the oil crisis of 1973, Shell, British Petroleum and Mobil invested heavily in solar research, and by 1979, solar panels were installed on the roof of the White House. That was just the beginning. With the help of greater funding for solar research, new varieties of silicon were developed, allowing for the widening of uses for solar energy. Since 2000, photovoltaic solar panels have become affordable and practical for residential use and are widely used in non-residential applications, too. Occasional government grants are available to have them installed. The storage batteries have also become far more efficient than they were when Mark Andrews made his pitch. Back then, batteries would remind you of Frankenstein’s lab, but now they are sleek, look good in any garage, and store enough energy to power a house or farm for several days. The downside is the expense. It’s a leap forward to go into solar, even though it took us 45 years to do so.

Congressional term limits: Light from the 22nd Amendment The debate surrounding proposals for term limits on members of Congress would benefit from a reminder of the reasoning behind the 22nd Amendment, which imposed a two-term limit on the presidency. That amendment, ratified in 1951, is now 70 years old. Although small pockets of voices advocating its repeal can be heard from time to time, polls show that Americans, with good reason, believe strongly in the merits of that fundamental change in the Constitution. Constitutional history can be a useful guide in a nation’s decisionmaking process. This is especially true when the reasoning, motives and arguments advocating constitutional change in our time closely resemble the reasoning, motives and arguments advocating constitutional change in an earlier time. The same assertions and circumstances that convinced the American people to amend the Constitution in favor of term limits for the presidency might persuade the citizenry to amend it for the purpose of limiting the number of terms that people may serve in the House and the Senate. In any case, the debate about congressional term limits will be better informed by the experience of the 22nd Amendment. The 22nd Amendment states that “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” or more than once if that person has occupied the office for more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected, but unable to complete because of death or disability. The amendment essentially codified what had become a twoterm tradition, initiated by George Washington, who refused to seek a third term because, as he stated, “an elective monarchy is not why we fought the revolution.” Thomas Jefferson, who favored a practice

of rotation in office, as a virtue of republicanism, similarly rejected a third term, as did James Madison and James Monroe. The practice of these founding presidents helped to forge an unwritten tradition of a two-term limit on the office, one that Theodore Roosevelt called a “wise custom.” Theodore Roosevelt’s cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, broke the roughly 150-year-old tradition. In 1940, as war clouds loomed over Europe, FDR ran for and was elected to a third term. In 1944, riding a campaign war theme which asserted that a nation ought not to change horses in mid-stream, he sought and won a fourth term. Roosevelt’s death, just five months into his final term in office, prompted another in a flurry of proposed amendments to limit tenure in the nation’s highest office. In March 1947, Congress easily passed a proposed amendment to limit presidential re-eligibility, an idea that was, in fact, introduced, but defeated, in the Constitutional Convention. In early 1951, 41 states had ratified the proposed amendment within four years, satisfying the constitutional requirement of approval by three-fourths of the states, and the 22nd Amendment was thus firmly entrenched in the Constitution. This significant constitutional change reflected a number of factors, including historical and political circumstances. At that juncture in history, the specter of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini, and other fascist leaders, filled Americans, indeed, citizens across the globe, with deep fears about the likelihood of the aggrandizement of power by executives who held office for too many years. The abuse of power, corruption and tyranny were no longer figments of imagination, but rather raw reality. Broad support for the 22nd Amendment rested on an array of concerns. Many Americans believed that unlimited tenure degenerated into a sense of inheritance and entitlement. Such corruption, obviously, would increase the detachment and arrogance of the chief executive and, in turn, diminish his own sense of accountability to the law and the citizenry. Such a president might think of himself less as an agent of the people, but in fact,

indispensable and, in a vain glorious way, as a savior of the nation. Constitutional limits, checks and balances and other means of restraining the president would have little utility. In addition, borrowing from the advocacy of the inestimable founding presidents — Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe — the principle of rotation in office was considered healthy, and even vital, to the cause of republicanism. Rotation helps to prevent stagnation in office. Political parties, moreover, are rejuvenated by the process of recruiting, grooming and nominating new candidates. New leaders promote the dynamism of the electoral system. Above all, Americans rejected the premise of indispensability, as they had rejected the premise of human infallibility. In a nation as populous as the United States, it was believed, there is plenty of talent from which to draw in selecting new policymakers. None of these arguments denied that some citizens, more than others, bring to the presidency valuable vision, judgment, leadership traits and the sort of character that voters admire in the chief executive. However, by the mid-20th Century, Americans had seen in the tenure of tyrants the tragedies of the abuse of power, the arrogance of power and the long-term consequences of delusions of indispensability. Finally, advocates of the 22nd Amendment believed that particularly valuable former presidents should be consulted by successors on matters of foreign and domestic affairs. Those who wonder about the relative merits of term limits for members of Congress would do well to consider the reasons and rationales that spurred passage of term limits for the presidency. Are they relevant? If not, why not?

ND Matters: Have we forgotten in two generations? By Lloyd Omdahl We were immigrants. High on hope and strong on expectations. A barren prairie just waiting for the rails and the plow. So we came. All immigrants. The first of us were Yankees, Scots and Irish. Then the Germans and the Scandinavians poured in. There were Black Sea Germans, Hutterites, Volga Germans, Galician Germans, Bohemian Germans, German Hungarians, German Mennonites and Volhynian Germans. 6,800,000 Germans While German immigrants were spread throughout the state, concentrations could be found along the southern North Dakota counties –Kidder, Sheridan, Emmons, Logan, McIntosh, LaMoure, Dickey

and Richland among others. With around 6,800,000 since 1841, they constituted the largest number of immigrants. Coming from Scandinavia were the Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, Finns and Icelanders; among the Slavic immigrants were Ukrainians, Poles, Czechs (Bohemians, Moravians and Slovaks) and Bulgarians. Seasoning the Mix Less numerous were Italians, Armenians, Greeks, Lebanese, Dutch, French, Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Spaniards and Mexicans. This was the North Dakota melting pot, documented by six distinguished scholars in 450 pages of “Plains Folk, North Dakota’s Ethnic History” published in 1988 by the ND Institute for Regional Studies at NDSU. (The ethnic researchers included NDSU Sociologist Father William Sherman, UND Historians Playford Thorson and Robert P Wilkins, Bismarck State College Historian Warren Henke, UND Political Scientist Theodore P. Pedeliski and NDSU Anthropologist Timothy Kloberdanz.) Immigrants with Dreams Every immigrant family came with a dream for which they were willing to work from dawn to dusk, endure the biting cold winters, and bear the loneliness of the flat barren land. Yes, our immigrant families settled the land and launched a state. Gratitude for cheap land and the chance to begin anew flowed from the many ethnic immigrants who prospered in North Dakota. Starting from sod huts two or three generations ago, we immigrants laid the foundation for Twenty-first Century prosperity. Many of us are more than half as old as the 1889 founding of the state. Grandparents can still relate stories about their own personal experiences and hardships encountered in the settling process.

Gratitude Turned Cold Even though this generation is still close to the founding, the gratitude of our immigrant settlers has dwindled and our sympathy for newcomers has grown cold. In two generations, we have forgotten the free land and cordial spirit that welcomed us. In North Dakota, we have a troublesome undercurrent of opposition to the kind of immigrants that want the opportunity for a new beginning – the same kind of opportunity initially provided to us by free or cheap land. And the new immigrants aren’t asking for free land – they are willing to work hard and add to the prosperity of the state. Teaching English When the children of immigrants came to public schools, many could not speak or understand English so school boards needed bilingual teachers able to bridge the language gap. On the streets of Pisek, Czech was the common language; in Tagus, it was Norwegian; in Wishek, it was German. Today, we make a federal case out of immigrants bringing their languages and using them until they can make the transition to English. Grateful Grandparents If the hopeful immigrants of today had shown up in our frontier days, they would have been welcomed with open arms by our grateful grandparents. In fact, North Dakota had an immigration bureau to invite and welcome immigrants for the 13 years between 1919-1933. Looking back, the skills and hard work of immigrants made North Dakota the “land of opportunity” we claim it is. We can still gain from more skills and more hard work. Or have we become a generation of selfish ingrates after only two generations? Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

Drought is creating forage shortages throughout North Dakota this year, which means producers will have to find alternative sources of feed for their livestock. North Dakota State University and the North Dakota Department of Agriculture can help connect those who need feed with those who have it. Farmers and ranchers who have feedstuffs such as hay or corn for sale can list it on NDSU’s FeedList website, which is designed to connect feed sellers and buyers. Producers also may list pasture they have for rent. The FeedList, at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/feedlist, shows what each seller has for sale, how the feed is stored (large round bales, small bales, etc.) and the seller’s contact information. Prospective buyers can select what they want to buy and contact the sellers. Using the FeedList is free of charge. This site also may be used to donate or receive donations. Anyone who wants to buy feed or has feed to sell or donate can complete an online form at the site. Those who need entry help can contact their county office of NDSU Extension. All entries will be deleted automatically after 90 days. Buyers and sellers who no longer need the FeedList’s services before that should contact the Feedlist coordinator, Elizabeth Cronin, at elizabeth. cronin@ndsu.edu to have the entry removed. North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has reactivated the Hay Hotline and interactive map. The Hay Hotline and interactive map list those who need hay, those with hay or feed to sell, those with pasture or hay land to

rent, those with Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land for grazing and haying once it becomes available, and those available to move hay. The map is available at https:// www.nd.gov/ndda. Users may click on the icons to retrieve information about available hay, pasture, hay land and CRP land in their area. To be listed on the map, users should contact the Hay Hotline by calling 701-425-8454 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Callers may leave a message on evenings and weekends. The service is free of charge. Individuals who contact the hotline are asked to provide their name, contact information and what they need or can provide. For more information about managing cattle in a drought, producers should contact their county office of NDSU Extension.

Soybean Reaching R1 Soybean plants in our area are transitioning from the vegetative growth stages to the reproductive phase of their crop development cycle. Thus far, the 2021 growing seasons has been dry with warm to hot growing conditions. The higher than normal Growing Degree Day units have accelerated the crop development and the production of the first soybean flowers. Flowering was observed in some of my research plots during the last days of June. The soybean plant usually begins the reproductive period after the 4-6 trifoliolate leaf stage (Photo 1) has been reached. The first flower can be found lower on the stem and this stage is called reproductive one (R1) and is depicted in photo 2.

NDSU Extension Notes

Photo Credit: Jose D. M. Bais Full flowering or bloom (R2 growth stage) is reached when many nodes on the stem have flowers and a flower is open at the one of the two uppermost nodes on the main stem. Soybean is mostly selfpollinating with natural crossing occurring at a rate of less than 0.5 percent. Pollination usually occurs the day before the full opening of the flower. The stigma is receptive to pollen about one day before opening of the flower and remains receptive for two days. Shortly after pollination, the pod formation phase starts. The pod development stage (R3) is reached when the pods are 3/16 inch long at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem with fully expanded trifoliolate leaf. Lack of moisture during the pod development and grain filling growth stages will result in lower yield. Description of soybean growth stages can be found in the

ND Wheat Commission to host virtual wheat market update The North Dakota Wheat Commission will be hosting a virtual preharvest wheat market update on July 19, 2021. 2021 has been a challenging year for producers, with significant production concerns and market uncertainty. The Commission encourages producers to participate in the webinar to help make the best marketing choices possible. Industry and grain trade experts will give their view on the markets through harvest and beyond – targeting factors that specifically impact spring wheat and durum. The webinar will take place via Zoom and is free, but registration is required. To register visit www. ndwheat.com. The event will start at 9:00 a.m. CST. The full list of speakers is below.

Soybean Growth and Management Quick Guide at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/publications/crops/ soybean-growth-and-managementquick-guide. Table 1. Soybean Reproductive Stages. Stage Description R1 Beginning bloom – One open flower at any node on the main stem. R2 Full bloom – Open flower at one of the two uppermost nodes on the main stem with a fully developed leaf. R3 Beginning pod – Pod 3/16 inch long at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem. R4 Full pod – Pod ¾ inch long at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem. R5 Beginning seed – Seed 1/8 inch long in a pod at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem. R6 Full seed – Pod containing a green seed that fills the pod cavity at one of the four uppermost nodes on the main stem. R7 Beginning maturity – One normal pod on the main stem has reached its mature pod color. R8 Full maturity – 95% of the pods have reached their mature pod color. The soybean plants will continue to develop new leaves during the flowering period. As weeds are still emerging, it is important to recognize that herbicides can only be applied before a designated growth stage is reached. It is important to always follow labeled herbicide use instructions to prevent any crop damage or yield loss. (Author: Hans Kandel, Extension Agronomist Broadleaf Crops)

GOD FORGIVES. LET HIM. Feeling guilty? Many people do. Reasons range from broken homes to unbroken habits. Whatever the cause, it’s an ugly feeling. Guilt is both the fact of having done wrong and the feeling of blame for doing it. It’s worst when the way you live leaves you empty, frustrated, and filled with regret, but there is a solution. Face the fact and remember God forgives. Then let him!

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent 4-H Opportunities for All The 8th of July was the day for one of our biggest events for the year for Cavalier County 4-H. We held our Achievement Day and Consumer Decision Making Contest out at the NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center. It was a great day full of seeing the wonderful projects the 4-H members have been doing throughout the year, as well as seeing the knowledge they have gained by participating in the contest. It also brought back great memories. I had forgotten some of my 4-H days, but I remember one particular 4-H meeting. I don’t remember where it was at; it could have been at my house or a neighbor’s, but I remember the project I did while working with my mom’s friend, who was a 4-H leader. She helped me make a pencil holder from a frozen orange juice container, blue contact paper with geese on it (think popular 80’s décor), white lace, and some glue. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and put my pencils and markers in it right away. Seeing the excitement on the faces of the 4-H members in attendance brought back the memories of my own excitement during 4-H. As stated on our NDSU website: “4-H provides hands-on, real-life experiences through projects, activities, and events. Our program is available to all youth and offered in every county in North Dakota. 4-H is the largest and the only research-based youth organization in the state and is conducted by North Dakota State University Extension.” 4-H is an opportunity for the youth in our community to learn new skills, develop leadership, and help strengthen the community through projects, volunteering, and the archery program. This summer we offered some mini camps to help introduce school-age youth to some of the activities and ideas that are offered with 4-H. There are many more opportunities that the 4-H members can participate in that could be started or utilized in other counties, such as hippology and horse camps, crop, livestock, land judging, community service,

and much more. The possibilities are endless! The 4-H Pledge, which is said at every meeting, helps summarize what the youth strive to accomplish by being 4-H members. 4-H Pledge I Pledge... My Head to clearer thinking, My Heart to greater loyalty, My Hands to larger service, And my Health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world. The 4-H members are able to do this through the projects, activities, and events that are held every year in our county, in neighboring counties, and at the state level. There are camps that all youth can attend, more camps that only 4-H members can attend, and an abundance of opportunities. In Cavalier County, we have some great 4-H clubs in the Langdon and Munich areas and would love to have more youth sign up to participate. There are no specific membership requirements, and all youth from Kindergarten (age 5) to grade 12 (age 18) are welcome to participate. A notice is sent out to all youth in the schools in the county every fall, and a message is posted to our Facebook page as well. If you know of a school-age youth, please encourage them to join a 4-H club in Cavalier County. As I was thinking of all of the events and meetings that take place for 4-H in Cavalier County, I thought of how much volunteers make 4-H possible. Without volunteers, 4-H wouldn’t happen, and we are so grateful that we have had such amazing volunteers help us with our programming. We also have amazing business in Cavalier County that encourage and support us by donating time and money for us to be able to hold our events. We are very blessed! We could always use more volunteers and would love to have you join us! I feel that people often think that they need to have a youth involved in 4-H in order to be a part of it, but that’s not the case. If you have a skill you would like to share with youth, if you have a desire for fun, if you have a heart for service, if you have experience with 4-H as a youth and would like to share your experience with a new generation, if you are retired and would like

NDSU Extension Notes

to spend some time with us, if you are business owner who would like to share your expertise, if you are someone who would like to help a great organization that is right here within your community- then please contact our office. We would LOVE to have you volunteer! Everyone has something to offer, and we would love to have some new ideas and excitement come into an already fantastic organization. One of my great uncles, who was just like a grandfather to me, was a great supporter of 4-H. He was never married, never had any children, and was a bachelor farmer. He was also a great man. He encouraged 4-H, volunteered with 4-H, and supported the organization through any means he could including establishing a scholarship for 4-H members to help them attend college after high school, which is still given out to this day. He was such a great man that my son is named after him. He didn’t need to have children in 4-H, he just needed to understand that he had something to offer and did his best to offer what he had. You can be the same. 4-H has a lot to offer the youth and people of Cavalier County, and we would LOVE to have more people involved! To be a volunteer, the process is very simple. All you have to do is sign up with our office and pass a background check to clear you for working with youth. If you would just like to offer an expertise as a one-time event with our youth, you can let our office know, and the leaders of the organization will get in touch with you to set up a time. In any case, we would be thrilled that you are seeking us out to volunteer what you have to offer. If you would like more information on the 4-H organization, feel free to visit our website at https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/what-nd-4-h. You can also call our office at 256-2560, stop in and visit with us, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. If you would like to visit with a 4-H leader, 4-H member, or 4-H ambassador, you can let us know, and we can set you up for a meeting. No matter what, please consider supporting our 4-H program and the youth of the community, as there are 4-H opportunities for all.

by Heather Duerre of Walhalla I must apologize because I, like many of you, thought my Rooster saga was over. I was horrified to find out that there has been another incident. It all started this morning as I was drinking coffee with my husband, Mike... I was fondly looking at the photo of un-named rooster and myself listening to Queen’s “We are the Champions”, and by listening to it, I mean it played only in my mind. Either way, I thought to myself “unnamed rooster, you and I really are the champions. Overcoming our differences to settle on a mutual understanding. Yay for us!” We finished our coffee, and I continued about my day. Suddenly I was interrupted by a phone call... this is where my day started to take a turn. It was Mike telling me he was going to go to the farm for me and do the chores. Sure it sounds good and innocent as you are reading this. In fact, I was fooled myself. That is until I received the attached picture just now...the first word that came to mind was BE-

TRAYAL! I didn’t know what to make of it. Was I angry with Mike, un-named rooster, or both? Was the three day battle a planned event by Mike and un-named rooster? If so, why??? I was so confused! So I said to myself, "calm down, you are a Charlie’s Angel beast, and nobody can take that away from you!” After taking a deep breath it became clear. As you can clearly see in the photo, Mike is tightly squeezing un-named rooster. In fact he is squeezing so tight that it actually appears like he is smiling. Of course!!! Why was I so foolish??? Mike had surely gone up there to make sure un-named rooster would stick to his end of the bargain. When I looked even closer at the picture, I could almost hear un-named rooster faintly (because Mike was squeezing him) say, “Yes, I understand the agreement and realize if I peck at your Charlie’s Angel beast wife again you will kill me with your bare hands!” All I can sing in my mind now is “without saying a word you speak right to my heart” I’m not really sure if those are the correct words, but today that’s exactly what Mike did with his gesture!

Brush with the Bunch

Before you know it, these signs will, once again, be up on the corner in the empty lot by the Old Crow Bar, formerly McDonald‘s Bar. If your garden isn‘t looking the best, you may have to visit the farmers markets for fresh garden goodies. There are several farmers markets in the Rendezvous Region; check a local newspaper for the days and locations for the one closest to you. Another one of the many projects undertaken by the Brush Bunch is the painting of the farmers market signs for the Walhalla site. On the photo shown are Amy, Leona, Laurel, Honey, Frances and Carol - the artists who designed and painted the cornucopia showing a collection of vegetables grown in the area by local gardeners and most likely can be found for sale at these sites. “Dakota Grown“ and “It‘s all good“ complete the beautiful sign. So as summer continues and autumn soon follows, add to your list of things to do to visit the Farmers Market on a Saturday in Walhalla from 9-12. On Tuesday, we had a pleasant surprise visit from Karen Givand, a former member who moved back to Cavalier after a couple of years in the Twin Cities. Welcome back, Karen. Meanwhile, at the Gallery on any Tuesday from 10-4, the coffee pot is full, and we enjoy visitors. From Capsule Sermons: “Swallowing angry words is better than having to eat them.

Post 98 Red Sox win Enderlin Wood Bat Tournament for third year in a row; Record now 17-1 By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Red Sox Post 98 American Legion baseball team had a busy run of games the weekend of July 9-11. The Sox lost their first game of the season in a nonconference game at Valley City on July 9 then won the three games at the Enderlin Wood Bat Classic July 10-11 - beating Lisbon 1-0 in eight innings, defeating Oakes 3-1, then routing Velva in the title game 8-0. After their recent streak of games, Langdon is 17-1 on the season, and they played two games to round out their regular season schedule at Park River on July 13 and at home versus Rolla on July 15. The Red Sox will begin postseason play at the District 5 Tournament in Grafton, which will run July 19-21 at Harris Halliday Field. Here is a recap of their last stretch of games: Valley City 7, Langdon 2 On their way to the Enderlin Tourney, the Red Sox stopped in Valley City to play the Post 60 Royals in a scheduled nine-inning game. Langdon jumped to an early 1-0 lead with a run in the top of third after Jack Romfo doubled and Jackson Delvo later scored on a RBI ground out by Brady Regner. Valley City would put up four runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a lead they would not relinquish. Tucker Welsh would bring Langdon's second run of the game on a single to plate Regner. Welsh also was the starting pitcher in the contest, and he struck out six batters while walking four in seven innings of work. Gage Goodman gave up one earned run in relief.

in their opening game on July 10. Jack Romfo pitched in the game for Langdon and threw the best game of his young American Legion baseball career, striking out 10 Lisbon batters while allowing just two hits. He threw 105 pitches in eight innings. Runs would come at a premium in the game, as Langdon would leave five runners on base through the first three innings. Seven innings would not be enough to decide the winner, and it came down to the bottom of the eighth inning when Jackson Delvo singled to start the frame then later came around to score on a base hit that was smoked to left field to Romfo to win the game. Five different players had the five hits for the Red Sox, with Brady Regner just missing a home run and hitting a ground rule double.

Carter Tetrault got it going with a base hit followed by a double to the left center field gap by Jackson Delvo. Tucker Welsh then hit an RBI single to bring in Tetrault with the second coming from Delvo scoring on the back end of a double steal. Markus Kingzett pitched for Langdon, and while he got into several jams throughout his six and a third innings scattering 10 hits, he got out of nearly every one with a clutch strikeout. Delvo capped off the scoring for the Red Sox when he hit his first-ever career home run in the top of the sixth inning. Tetrault came on in the seventh to throw and got Oakes to pop out twice to end the game. Delvo led a seven hit Langdon attack going 3 for 3 for the game.

Red Sox upset by PR 8-7 in last league game of the season

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

After winning the Enderlin Wood Bat Tournament, the Langdon Red Sox Post 98 American Legion baseball team had their last District 5 game of the season on July 13 in Park River in a game that was postponed from June 30. The Red Sox got out to an early lead, but five errors in the field hurt them as Park River came back to win the game 8-7. Langdon is now 17-2 on the season and, despite the loss, still have the top seed in the upcoming District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament, which will be held July 19-21 at Harris Halliday Field in Grafton. The Sox also played their last game of their regular season schedule, hosting Rolla in a non-conference game on July 15. Langdon got things going against Park River with a two out rally in the top of the first inning. Tucker Welsh singed to start it out, then later in the inning, Cooper Zimmer drew a bases-loaded walk to score the games first run, which was followed by a two-run single from Brennan Kitchin. Two errors in the field gave Park River three runs in the bottom of the second inning to tie the game. Af-

ter Gage Goodman hit his second of two triples in the game to score a run in the top of the fourth, Carter Tetrault followed that up with a suicide squeeze bunt to give Langdon the lead back at 5-3 after four innings. The Pirates got hitting in the bottom of the fifth, scoring four runs on six hits, and they added another run in the sixth to take an 8-5 lead. Langdon nearly tied the game as Peyton Ullyott just missed hitting a home run to left field, but it ended up being a two-run double. Goodman pitched the game and struck out six batters in six innings thrown. Tyson Backer threw six and a two-thirds innings for Park River, giving way to Jayse Fontaine who got the last out to record a save.

all-around game for last in the title game of the Enderlin Tournament. Tucker Welsh and Jack Romfo would have run scoring hits right away in the top of the first inning, which was followed in the second by Carter Tetrault hammering a triple to the left field corner to plate Brennan Kitchin and Gage Goodman, who both had earlier singled. Tetrault would bring in another run with a single in the sixth to score Goodman, then Welsh, Jack Romfo, Cooper Zimmer, Kitchin and Goodman would all get base hits in the top of the seventh inning to turn the game into a runaway. Zimmer was his normal, steady self pitching for Langdon. The future Mayville State Comet baseball player went the distance in this one, allowing six hits while striking out three batters and walking just two. All told, Langdon had 14 hits in the game led by three apiece by Tetrault and Romfo, plus two each from Welsh, Zimmer and Goodman.

Postseason baseball is ongoing; District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament starts July 19 As we roll this week, postseason baseball tournaments have been either happening or will happen in the week ahead. A big congratulations goes out to the Langdon 12U Little League team, who won the Northern League Tournament, and with that title qualified to the the State B 12U Tournament in Velva which is coming up July 22-25. The tournament format is two four team pools of round robin play, then the top two teams in each pool will advance to the Championship Day on July 25. Langdon's first game is against Cassleton on July 22 at 9:00 a.m. We wish the team best of luck. Darin Gellner is the head coach of the 12U squad, with Josh Schaefer and Travis Hakanson the assistants. The Northern League Babe Ruth Tournament is also going on and concluding on July 18 in Grafton. The Langdon Eagles were the top seed for the tournament, and they are trying to advance to their fifth straight State B Babe Ruth Tournament, which is set to be held in Bottineau this year, July 24-28. And this week it's the District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament, which will be played at Harris Halliday Field in Grafton July 19-21. Their are only four teams in the district this year, with Langdon getting the top seed, followed by Grafton, Park River and MidwayMinto. A District 5 Tournament bracket can be found in this week's Republican.

Coach Tami Flink to retire from coaching LEM Volleyball We got this right before the deadline for the paper, but we still wanted to get out that longtime Langdon-Edmore-Munich assistant volleyball coach Tami Flink has decided to retire from coaching, after 18 years with the Lady Cards program, and many more with other volleyball teams and programs. The plan is to do a feature story on Coach Flink next week, as this deserves more than just a couple of lines in the column. Look for that in the next issue, but we will still say congrats to Tami on her retirement, and many thanks for the many year she dedicated to coaching volleyball in our area. Girls Softball getting closer to reality for Langdon-Edmore-Munich; Fundraiser in Munich on July 21 There have been rumblings the last couple of years, and it's looking more and more like Girls Softball may become a sanctioned sport for Langdon-Edmore-Munich. Their has been a sign up already with several girls interested, and now there will a fundraiser coming up this week to help out with the possible start-up costs. This fundraiser will be held at Edgar Westphal Field in Munich on July 21 at 6:30 p.m., featuring the Langdon-Edmore-Munich summer softball teams against a legacy team from Munich (No roster was given for the them at press time, so your guess is as good as mine). Admission is free, and full concessions will be available. As far as we know, nothing has been officially decided on a softball team for next spring, but this fundraiser seems to be another step towards it, and hopefully everyone can get out and support the effort. "See ya!" next week!

3-peat

The Langdon Red Sox baseball team took home first place at the Enderlin Wood Bat tournament on July 10-11. They defeated Lisbon 1-0 in extra innings in the opening round, beat Oakes 3-1 in the semifinals then met Velva in the championship and won 8-0 to bring home the first place trophy for the 3rd year in a row!

Langdon Long Ago

surgery, this one included anesthesia which does not wear off as well as the freezing done formerly. In the minutes after I was in the lavender gown and headed to the operating room, I was asked to sign a consent form, but the details did not soak in clearly. My cousin who went down with me had a long day while they formed a different nose using spare parts from one of my ears. This was followed by days of large bandages which set your glasses awry (you see double or not at all), learning to replace the gauze without getting any water on the nose area, and adjusting to people food and in some cases pain. I was spared needing the pain pills, but they do provide them in case you need them. As this is written, the stitches are out or are the dissolving kind that will melt away. I can drive and see the keys on the computer and am looking forward to washing my hair and wearing normal clothes comfortably. Why write about an experience readers may never have to face? Because actually this is one of the most prevalent types of curable cancer that is seen in our part of the nation. Discovering it early increases your chances of recovery and prevents spreading. More serious or damaging are related cancers like squamous or melanoma which have totally different treatments. Can you prevent having even troublesome lesions? I am told yes, if you begin with good skin health as a child. Sun block helps some people, wearing a hat helps others, and good nutrition is always a plus. If I had been younger they would have told me to avoid tanning beds. As it happened, I had some bad experiences as a child and teen when working too long in hot fields and gardens so had very painful sunburns. Learning to minimize this can save you trips to dermatologists and surgeons. Your stories are important. One of the most frequent questions I am asked is where we find the stories for this column, and the answer has to be everywhere. Quite a few people send me their real life stories, and I try to spread them out to reach local and former residents who enjoy them. Mostly I deal with factual stories we can prove through local records. If your stories are fiction, there are several private publishing groups in the state. Sometimes these can be located at colleges or universities. The State Library in Bismarck has been digitalizing jubilee and centennial books, and they are now online for people to research from their home computers. This is a way to find your own family stories or pictures in case the book digitalized was sold out before you had a chance to purchase a copy. However, there are laws which allow you to read but not republish the work of others so it is best to follow the guidelines available on the digital horizons website. I had the exact information on this and have mislaid it, but check with either the local or the state library for assistance if needed.

As a general rule, this column tries to be about local history that others might have shared or had questions about. This week I want to share some recent medical information in the hope that my current experiences may give hope or help to others. Like others who have spent a good bit of time outdoors over the years, I was told long ago that I had developed “farmer’s skin”, and from time to time the doctors or nurse practitioners at the local clinic would see a spot that needed to be sprayed. Sometimes that spot would disappear and never be seen again. Many readers will have had a similar treatment and know that the spots are not contagious but are a curable and generally not fatal form of cancer. Then, in what must have been 2007, Dr. Peterson came to Langdon and sent pieces of these spots off for testing. I got a call that one or two were basal cell and should be removed by Mohs surgery. If you have not had that experience, the early stages are pretty routine. We were sent to a place on the southeast side of Grand Forks where a visiting doctor from California came in to do the surgery. In the waiting room I noticed people I recognized and one of them told me “Thursday is Langdon day”, and before long, we were laughing and bonding in our shared experience. Mohs surgery takes a layer of tissue from the area, tests it for cancer, and when the sample comes back clear - they stitch you up, give you wound care instructions, and invite you to return at a specified time. Looking around I realized I was the youngest in the room that day, but this type of lesion can occur at any age. Mohs surgery was not the end of the line by any means. We came home, sometimes had stitches taken out at the clinic here, and life went on. In fact, most were not hospitalized, and the curable kinds of skin cancer were rarely mentioned when the local group was fundraising. Whenever there was a troublesome spot, people in this group would be referred to additional Mohs surgeons who came to Grand Forks from places like New Orleans, Michigan, and elsewhere. The current surgeon (most have names I cannot spell!) was new and appeared very young in December of 2019- possibly because I was aging. My next appointment to be checked was for spring of 2020, but lockdown and virus were added to our vocabularies so it was May of this year before I had both a ride and an appointment. A cute new dermatologist found a spot that needed a biopsy, and almost the next day the report came with a date for the next Mohs surgery. The reports were not encouraging, and the plastic surgeon was the next visit and again another more difficult procedure. While all of this has been same day
