There is no vendor fee to sell at the Langdon Farmers Market. Vendors can come and set up early but can’t sell until 4:00 p.m. Mehlhoff does ask that vendors avoid setting up in the northwest corner by the monument. The commitment to consuming locally grown food is becoming a trend across the country. Not only does buying local have a positive impact on community farmers and the regional economy, but your body will reward you with numerous benefits and wellness.

One of the benefits when buying local is the preservative-free foods you will find. Because the goods don’t endure long-distance transportation to travel from distant producers, most locally grown and prepared foods avoid chemical preservative treatment to remain fresh during transit. In addition, many local food producers opt to raise their crops without the use of commercial pesticides. Buying local produce that is “inseason” also yields tremendous advantages to the Earth’s environmental health. A shorter commute from the farm to your table means less fuel used and less pollution during transportation. Do your body a favor and set a reminder in your calendar to come and explore the fresh produce and homemade goodies showcased at the Langdon Farmers Market.

He is a professor emeritus from Minnesota State University Moorhead where he taught photography for 25 years. One of his many works, the “Life in the Vast Lane” print, has local ties, featuring the hill west of Mountain. His work has appeared in 10 books, several public television documentaries, and numerous exhibitions in the United States, Canada, and Iceland. He is the grandson of the Honorary Parade Marshals, Chris & Stina Gudmundson. Gudmundson’s 11th book, A SONG FOR LIV, was released by the North Dakota State University Press in this month. During the program, he will share excerpts from the book along with photos from his search

for his family roots. The book traces the Icelandic emigration from Iceland to Gimli to Mountain as told through pairings of Gudmundson’s photographs with his writing about the personal accounts of his family. Initially, it was more of a search

Built into this audio map were the family and community events that occurred en route – children born, pleasures, injuries, and d e a t h . They felt that if their songs were not sung the land would die. Therefore, it is incumbent on all of us to sing our songs. This book is for our descendants and is a poetic song of their ancestors.

By Linda Timian Republican Writer A Little Free Library is a free book-sharing box where anyone may take a book or share a book. Barb Crockett has created one in the Langdon City Park by the swimming pool. It is made out of a fireplace she purchased for $5.00 at a rumm a g e sale a few years a g o . Propped on a post embedded in a bucket of stones, it is currently placed in the gazebo just beyond the trees. “I am really excited to see where this goes and see if kiddos will use it,” said Crockett. “The idea is that you would take a book and leave a book, but it’s not required,” said Crockett. A Little Free Library functions on the honor system. The Cavalier County Public Library in Langdon has a wonderful, large children’s section.

“The Little Free Library simply adds another way to trade and circulate books outside normal library hours,” said Crockett. For example, you could pick up a book after you are done playing in the park. Crockett is currently attending Presentation College through Aberdeen, SD, to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Service learning projects are part of the requirements to graduate. In the past, she has recorded books for people who have difficulty reading and assembled summer fun bags for kids at Social Services with donations from the community. Crockett’s plan is to create two libraries, and she is checking on ideas for another location. She has the backing to keep them going for now cont. on page 2

Langdon City Commissioners hold special meeting By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission held a special meeting Monday, July 19 to discuss city utility minimums. It was brought up that if multiple businesses are in one shared space that those businesses still benefit from lights, spraying, and snow removal and should have a fee. It was an idea that each business have a $25 minimum fee for all access to city services: garbage, sewer, streetlights, bug spray, snow removal, etc. One business owner suggested that instead of going by each business, perhaps going by each leaser of a commercial property would keep the ordinance uniform and fair. One commissioner stated, “It would be nice to have these home businesses on Main Street rather than at home, so it would be ideal to be more business-friendly.” After much discussion and comparisons of

locally run businesses, it was decided property owners with shared space leasers (one door, one light switch) will get a $25 fee per leaser, and property owners with non-shared space leasers (separate walls, separate spaces, locks, separate lights) will get a $68 fee per leaser for the city services. Leasers that solely use a space with a meter will get a $95 bill, but subleasers in that same space will have the $25 that will go on the property owner’s bill. After more discussion it was asked if property owners could opt for bills to go directly to the commercial leaser. It was agreed that it should remain uniform so there’s no confusion of who should get the bill. Residential leasers will be billed regular city minimums as those residential dwellings where people cook, shower, and flush using water have the normal access to residential city utilities and services. These ordinances in the works will be deal-

ing with commercial properties. A boutique selling clothes will not be using water and garbage like a residential living space, so it is fair to charge that boutique less ($25) for city utilities and services. Also, the owner of the commercial property will still have a regular $95 for having a meter so that commercial facility will still be paying the minimum fee as residents do. Future construction will be required to have separate meters in a different ordinance to avoid confusion of who gets billed what. The previous ordinance was in effect, so bills that were paid and unpaid will remain the same but can be put on a payment plan, and leasers will not be responsible for late fees accumulated. These ordinances will be worked on and presented for a first reading at the next meeting on Monday, July 26 at 6:00 p.m. After the first reading, changes can be made before the 2nd reading.

St. Alphonsus School celebrated their 100th year July 16-17. During the weekend they had many activities scheduled including school tours, an ice cream social, and the St. Alphonsus Foundation served a pork supper to over 350 guests to show appreciation for all their great alumni and supporters. The sewing machine pictured was used in the high school up to the day it closed. They finished off the weekend with a Mass by Bishop Folda on Saturday, July 17.

Cavalier County Commission meeting held Emergency Manager Karen Kempert discussed a salary increased with the commissioners. The Commission applaud Karen’s work and devotion to her job although the amount of the increase was troublesome for some commissioners. David Zeis motioned to approve the full increase in salary and discussion followed. Dick voted no, Zeis yes, Moser no, Lafrenz no. Motion failed. The review of the need for a burn ban is up for review once again, which due to recent rainfall has become a rather short discussion. Conditions are much better, and no ban is felt necessary at this time. Sheriff Greg Fetsch joined the meeting and discussed budgeting topics and the county’s continued request to refrain from accepting prisoners. Due to regulations, staffing needs to continue running the jail are out of reach with current budgeting. Pay raises to the department were among discussion, and the commissioners agreed to change the increase, although approval will not happen until final budgeting. The Joint Powers Agreement with Public Health regarding the electronic sign to be placed at the county courthouse was reviewed. Public Health has purchased a sign from a company out of Grand Forks.

By Jared Entzi Republican Writer The Cavalier County Commission met on July 20. First on the agenda was the authorization of the Langdon Country Club gaming site. The motion was made by Nick Moser to approve, seconded by Stanley Dick, and motion passed. The Pembina Gorge Foundation requested a raffle permit which was also approved.. Terry Johnston met to discuss road projects. The first road project was the request to help fund a culvert replacement on county road 24. A motion was made by Stanley Dick to support the project with 70% of costs, David Zeis seconded, and motion was carried. Gravel tests for current projects are testing low and giving the projects difficulty progressing. Soil Conservation met with the commissioners to discuss budgeting. The commissioners were briefed with what their budget entails, foreseeable expenses, projects, and previous years. No decisions were made at this time and will be under review during final budgeting. Devils Lake Basin budget was next on the agenda. Stanley Dick motioned to keep the current contribution the same at seven cents per acre benefited by the Devils Lake Basin, Greg Goodman seconded, and the motion was carried.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

North Star Highway Once upon a time in North Dakota, about 104 years ago, there was a road crisscrossing the state called the Green Trail that was marked from Enderlin to Estevan. Sometime before the North Dakota Department of Transportation began to issue maps in 1924, the Green Trail was renamed the North Star Trail because it was linked to a road that went from Enderlin to Fairmount. That was in 1922. Prior to 1924, the state’s roads were all known as “trails.” It later became known as the North Star Highway and finally, U.S. Highway 52. A lot of changes and additions were made in the early days of the North Star Highway. Keep in mind back then, the vast majority of roads in North Dakota were nothing more than graded dirt roads or dirt trails. Only 1,338 miles of roadway was graveled in 1927, and even more extreme, there were only 10 miles of paved highways in the entire state. After the North Star Highway was established by the 10-year-old North Dakota Department of Transportation, the North Star Trail Association was established in Fessenden. The slogan for the road was “hitch your gasoline wagon to a star.” That “star” was marked on numerous buildings in communities along the route. There was also a bus and mail route from Portal to Minot each day called the Star Bus Route. Mailing addresses at the time were Star Route Kenmare, between Kenmare and Donnybrook, Star Route Donnybrook from Donnybrook to Carpio, Star Route Carpio from Carpio to Foxholm, etc. The bus stop in each community was marked by an emblem on the wall of a building. It was a white rectangle about 20 inches wide by 24 inches high. Inside was a black rectangle about 14 inches by 18 inches with a white star inside of it. In recent years, the star disappeared off the Flaxton Hotel when that building was demolished in 1987 and the former Weiman’s Hardware in Donnybrook had the star, but it was painted over. The star in Kenmare still exists. It is on the north and the

south side of the vacant Irvin Hotel in downtown Kenmare. Other stars along the route are most likely gone but were once on at least one building in each community from Portal all the way to Fairmount and in between. The star was also a navigation point for individual motorists because the early maps were nothing like they are today, and tourists “needed” that star to get from community to community. The road has been changed a great deal since it was the Green Trail in 1917, but largely follows the same path it did then, along the route of Soo Line, now Canadian Pacific Railway. The only portion of that entire highway that is still drivable today is what is now called a Scenic Backway from Kenmare to the Baden Overpass along the Des Lacs Lake. Other short sections remain visible but are no longer drivable from the Baden Overpass to Foxholm. The North Star Highway wasn’t the only unique road in North Dakota at the time. There were several others, at least five of which have also become U.S. highways. The first is the Old Red Trail, which became U.S. Highway 10, which still exists parallel to Interstate 94. The second, established in 1912, was known as the Theodore Roosevelt Highway, which ran from Grand Forks to Williston. It is now known as U.S. Highway 2. The Sakakawea Trail, or part of it, ran from Denver to the southern North Dakota border near Bowman then angled from Mott to Ryder, then Niobe to Northgate. A portion of that highway is now U.S. Highway 85. A portion of the current U.S. 85 in the northwest was called the Yukon-Canada Trail from Watford City to Williston to near Fortuna where it crossed the border. The Sunshine Trail, starting at Ellendale and running through Jamestown, Carrington and north to the international boundary is now U.S. Highway 281. Finally, the Yellowstone Trail, which began in South Dakota, went all the way to Yellowstone Park in Montana. It angled through Hettinger, Haynes and Rhame and today is called U.S. Highway 12. The Meridian Trail was the longest. It started on the Gulf Coast in Texas and went all the way to Winnipeg, passing through North Dakota, from border to border along the Red River on what is now known as Interstate 29.

The case against Congressional term limits Advocates of congressional term limits have strong arguments, as we observed last week of the ongoing effort to impose a ceiling on the number of terms that members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate can serve. But the arguments against term limits are also strong, and find support in the founding of our nation and in current debates. The framers of the Constitution did not impose term limits in members of Congress, just as they refrained from constitutionally limiting the terms that someone might serve as president of the United States. The discussions and debates in the Constitutional Convention and the various state ratifying conventions reflect familiar themes. The founders subscribed to the theory that the essence of popular government was captured in the right of voters to elect their representatives. Limitations on who might seek office, beyond the Qualifications Clause of Article I, which set forth the age, citizenship and residency requirements for representatives in the House and Senate, seemed foreign to the founders. Their reasoning was reiterated by President Woodrow Wilson, who wrote in 1913: “By seeking to determine by fixed constitutional provision what the people are perfectly competent to determine by themselves, we cast a doubt upon the whole theory of popular government.” A constitutional ban on reelection struck many of the founders as counterproductive to good government. There was a widespread belief that service in office for a reasonable number of years was a prerequisite to the acquisition of

Cavalier County Republican

knowledge necessary to become a good representative skilled in the art of making laws and policies. It was believed, moreover, that frequent elections — two-year terms in the House and six years in the Senate — insured accountability to the people and that poor performance could be corrected at the ballot box. At all events, they regarded elections as term limits. The founders never contemplated the desire of anyone to serve lengthy terms in office, far from family and professional concerns. They believed that short terms would produce rotation in office, which would, they further believed, protect against corruption and the arrogance of power that often are byproducts of numerous terms in governmental positions. Modern-day opponents of congressional term limits offer several arguments against inorganic ceilings. There is a genuine concern that term limits will, for example, decrease the capacity and expertise of Congress, undercutting its ability to pass wise, effective legislation and policies. Experience matters, it is said, as it does everywhere else. The numerous and varied problems that Congress confronts requires skills often acquired through years of serving in Congress. Opponents of term limits are quick to note that freshmen members will be likely to defer to experienced lawmakers, those skilled in the art of making laws, which will have the net effect of extending or consolidating the power of those boasting years of experience. Term limits, it is argued, will also create a disincentive for members to develop expertise in complex policy areas. Why spend the many hours, months and years acquiring knowledge in foreign affairs and national security matters, or developing expertise and learning in areas such as tax policy, if term limits will arbitrarily cut short members’ ability to create and pass legislation that will well serve the nation? The resulting “disinterest,” it is claimed, will lead to further legislative deference to the executive and the agencies that administer laws on a daily basis.

ND Matters: Nepotism, carbon neutrality, Stone Mountain

By Lloyd Omdahl Biden Near Nepotism Though President wasn’t involved in the nepotism of his leading administrators, newspaper headlines looked very incriminating. Under the circumstances, he should be reminded of previous innocent presidents whose administrations went down in history because of corrupt friends. General Grant’s friends produced the Whiskey Ring in which 100 were convicted of bribery, the Indian Ring in which the secretary of war took bribes, Black Friday in which brothers-in-law rigged the price of gold, and Credit Mobilier that bilked the government and United Pacific of millions. President Warren Harding brought with him the Ohio Gang that managed a number of scandals, in addition to the Tea Pot Dome

leasing of reserves to oil tycoons by the secretary of the interior. In his defense, Harding said that he was glad he wasn’t a woman because he just couldn’t say “no”. According to Walter Shaub, the government ethics guy 2013-2017 observed that the Biden situation “... may not be as bad as appointing your son or daughter to a top government post as Trump did with Jared and Ivanka, it is still bad. ‘Not as bad as trump’ cannot be a new standard.” Carbon Neutral by 2030? Adam Willis, writing in the Fargo News Service, has pointed out that ”the state energy sector has recently registered the second most carbon dioxide emissions per capita.” When Governor Doug Burgum said that North Dakota would slash carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2030, it became the most ambition goal for any state – and that only eight years from today. The goal will be reached through

“innovation, not regulation.” The goal is hanging on a two-pronged paradigm: expanding renewable energy and capturing carbon dioxide. In the legislature and some counties, the temperature for renewable energy sources has been cool, with all of the disposable dollars going to subsidize the coal industry. The legislative mind will need reorientation – quickly with only three legislative sessions to go. Carbon capture ventures have attracted $1.5 billion in a crash effort to find a method for capturing and rechanneling carbon. Anybody who has been tracking the carbon problem knows that the state and its research agencies have been looking without success for over 50 years. As for a voluntary program, Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford has already had to convince North Dakota companies that the goal will not interfere with their current business. There will be resistance.

The Art on Stone Mountain Carved on Stone Mountain in Georgia is a magnificent sculpture of General Robert E. Lee and his associates started by Gutzon Borglum of Mt. Rushmore fame in 1924 and completed by Roy Faulkner in 1972. It is 42 feet into the mountain, nine stories high and 190 feet wide, all 400 feet above ground. Unfortunately, its magnificence is tainted by its relationship to the KKK, the organization of white supremacists that drew much of its inspiration from meetings on the mountain. Klan members were active in monument fundraising. KKKs patronage of the sculpture is probably enough to condemn it along with statues of prominent confederate military heroes. While the majesty of the art may not be enough to save it from its evil beginning, plans to destroy it

The theme of “arbitrariness” courses through the arguments of those who oppose term limits. It is one thing to defeat and thus remove from office incompetent members, but why punish those members who are hard-working, competent, skilled and extremely valuable representatives on the behalf of the American electorate. Further, why punish the voters, and deprive them of their democratic right to select their representatives in the House and Senate? Punishment of effectiveness strikes these advocates as arbitrary and unwise. Opponents of term limits also doubt that the mechanism will actually curb the corruption that advocates claim is directly tied to careerism. As a consequence, there is no reason to set term ineligibility in constitutional concrete. The assertion of undue influence of lobbyists on members of Congress won’t be allayed, but rather exacerbated, by term limits, they say. While advocates of limits believe that members might look more closely at the merits of legislation, without the overbearing presence of lobbyists, the reverse is true. Novice legislators will become more, not less, reliant on lobbyists once veteran legislators are removed from office. The loss of experience and expertise is reflected, they contend, in surveys conducted in states with term limits. In those states, lawmakers exhibit greater reliance on bureaucrats, agencies and lobbyists. As citizens ponder the question of the relative desirability of term limits, they would do well to grapple with the pros and cons of such a proposition. Both sides have good arguments worth consideration.

should be tempered with some serious questions about destroying an important part of our history. How far are we going to go? Beyond the statues and artifacts are Southern songs, paintings, poetry, books and other creative works. How far do we go in snuffing the Confederacy out of our history? Who will decide where and when the red line will be drawn. Lest these comments be misinterpreted, I believe our debt to AfricanAmericans is immense. They are entitled to reparations through free education for any field they choose. They have every right to be angry, but moderation may be advisable in these testy times.

Letter to Editor

Letter to Editor, Split House districts should be part of the districting debate I’m writing to urge the 2021 North Dakota legislative districting committee to study the possibility of splitting each Senate district into two parts for seats to the state House of Representatives. This is important, because rural areas will probably be losing representation in the North Dakota Legislature due to population shifts to urban areas reflected in the 2020 census. As an example, let’s take a look at District 39. It takes up much of western North Dakota, covering the communities of Bowman and Watford City. It is a distance of 124 miles between those two cities. It can’t be easy for the three legislators who represent District 39 to cover the entire district. It obviously would give much better representation to voters if the district was split in two - 39A and 39B. The district would have one Senator, and voters in each half would elect their own member of the House of Representative. There are multiple rural districts in North Dakota with similar challenges. Splitting House districts would also be beneficial for the representation of communities of interest, such as the state’s Native American population. Splitting districts for a state House of Representatives is nothing new. Our neighbor to the east, Minnesota, uses this method. It works well for them. Their House seats are split by “A” and “B” districts. By doing this, they’ve achieved better representation for voters, especially in large, rural districts.

North Dakota legislative districting is a tremendously important issue that only happens every 10 years. The concept of split House districts should be part of the debate during the 2021 North Dakota legislative districting process. Sincerely, Carol Sawicki, Fargo Dear Editor: Customs & Border Protection reports almost 190,000 illegals were apprehended crossing the southern border in June, 2021 and project ne million year to date in 2021! These figures do not reflect illegals who were not apprehended and are now safely 'underground' in our country! Foor the past weeks national media (ABC, CBS, NBC) have all ignored this information, instead concentrating on billionaires injecting themselves into space and other 'news flashes'. One should wonder (whether you are Democrat, Independent or Republican) who is sitting at the media controls and decides what is 'news'? It is very apparent that someone has decided any mention of the number of illegals crossing into our country is something that should not be shared with the 'masses'. Some of us remember when George Orwell's "1984" and 'Big Brother' were considered science fiction. It is now 2021 and as the old commercial (no offense to the PC Police) touted "you've come a long ways baby!". Me thinks fiction may have become reality. Mike Connor, Devils Lake

NDSU Extension Notes

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Coping with Stress There was a moment this past week that I had hit my breaking point because of stress. It wasn’t that anything big happened. It was just a lot of things that kept piling up. Along with a few stressful situations and severe seasonal allergies because of the poor air quality, there is a puppy that is a lot of work and a house and yard that were complete disasters from three boys having fun all day. None of it was really that big of a deal, and life goes on. It was just a lot at one time coupled with a lack of sleep and a lot on my “to do” list. As I was trying to not wallow in self-pity over things that wouldn’t matter in 5 years, I began to think about stress and how it can affect people. I remembered the saying “this too shall pass,” and it comforted me while I was brought back to reality. Stress is situational. Something can affect you to a great degree at one point but not feel as overwhelming at a different time. It depends on a lot of other factors that are taking place in your life at the time. There are certain things that can help you manage your stress so you don’t reach those overwhelming moments as often. There are those things in life we cannot control, such as a lack of moisture to help the crops and gardens grow, but there are several things we can control in our lives that will help those uncontrollable things not feel so overwhelming. Researchers have identified three key factors to distinguish between successful and unsuccessful stress managers. 1. Individuals vary in their capacity to tolerate stress. The capacity depends on other factors that are happening at the time, such as emergencies and the amount of rest someone gets. 2. The feeling of being in control. Control what you can, and accept what you can’t. 3. Attitudes and feelings towards an event make a difference. The more positive and hopeful an individual is, along with being set in reality, makes a difference in the ability to tolerate the stress that may come into their lives. There are several things a person can do to help them succeed in managing the stress that does come into their lives. Eating right, exercising, and getting adequate rest make a huge difference in how our bodies and minds work. It doesn’t take a lot of extra work on your part, but there are a few simple guidelines to follow that can help: 1. Follow MyPlate recommendations. Half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables. That’s right, HALF! The vitamins and minerals will help regulate body processes and help your body tolerate stress better. 2. Get adequate sleep. The average adult needs 7-9 hours of sleep a night. A 15-minute nap at noon won’t hurt anything, either. 3. Plan ahead (if possible). Being prepared as much as you can be helps alleviate stressful situations. 4. Avoid substances such as nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine that add to stress responses of the body.

5. Relax and take time to unwind every day in an efficient way. Ten minutes of quiet time of clearing the mind with something fun or just relaxing can make a world of difference to the body and mind. 6. Keep moving. It doesn’t have to be strenuous exercise, but a nice, purposeful walk will do wonders for the body and mind. 7. Communicate effectively with those that you love and those who are able and willing to help you. If you can share, the stress seems to be more manageable. 8. Drink plenty of water. Carry a refillable water bottle or jug with you and replenish as needed. 9. Less screen time, especially right before bed. Screen time before bed adds to difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night, and sleep is essential to the body regenerating and rejuvenating itself. 10. Simplify your environment and schedule if needed. It’s okay to downsize, give unused items away, and not attend every social function you are invited to. Balance is key, and it’s important to know your limits. If you would like more information on coping with stress, feel free to visit our website at https://www. ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-hub/ ag-topics/farm-management/managing-stress/coping-stress to get more information. There are useful tools such as videos, podcasts, and publications you can access to help you if you are feeling stressed about farming, life, family, etc. You can also call our office at 256-2560, stop in and visit with us, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. If the stress is too overwhelming, please: • talk to a trusted friend or family member • seek medical assistance • call the 24-hour ND helpline at 2-1-1 or visit FirstLink at https:// myfirstlink.org/ • set up an appointment with a mental health professional • call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255 • call 911 for immediate assistance Always remember that tomorrow is a new day, next year is a new year, and tough situations will change. You are not alone, and there are people who can help. Coping with stress is a great step in feeling better and living the best life.

Anitha Chirumamilla Ag & Natural Resources Agent Cavalier County Extension

I am sharing a beautiful article written by Dr. Dave Franzen about the cost of soil erosion. This is an eye-opening article talking about the economic impacts of losing top soil that gets blown away each year layer by layer. The Cost of Erosion Most people experienced the serious dust storms in certain areas of North Dakota this spring. A common misconception is that the soil that blows is just exchanged with the neighbors, with a net result of zero loss except for the pesky dirt that ended up in the ditch. There certainly was a great deal of ditch digging the first part of June next to some fields this spring, but the loss in soil was a lot more than what was in the ditch. The dust clouds that blew past the area to part unknown certainly didn’t land in any ditch nearby. For perspective, take the Wheatland soils in Cass County and elsewhere, which take their name from Wheatland, ND, oddly enough. The 1903 Cass County soil survey describes a Wheatland soil as having 2 feet of topsoil about 6.9% organic matter. I have had experiments on Wheatland soils in the past, and they have between 2-2.5% organic matter. This means that they have lost at least 2 feet of soil during the past 100 years. A productive soil (and these soils were certainly productive without fertilizer 100 years ago) has about 2,000 pounds per acre of P2O5 in the surface 6 inches. With a topsoil 2 feet thick, these soils contained abut 8,000 pounds of P2O5 one hundred years ago. One ton of 11-52-0 (MAP) fertilizer contains 1040 pounds per ton of P2O5, at a current cost of roughly $600 per ton of fertilizer (with the N cost subtracted). This means that these soils have lost $4,615 per acre of P2O5 in the past 100 years. No one sent farmers that farmed Wheatland soils a bill for this, but the loss has meant that large amounts of phosphate fertilizers have been applied to these soils and continue to be applied for the past 70 years. In addition, 6.9% organic matter means that the soils had 4% organic car-

bon. Since organic matter has a 10 to 1 carbon to nitrogen ratio, these soils also contained 0.4% nitrogen in the organic matter. With soil weighing about 2,000,000 pounds per 6 inch per acre, the weight of soil in 2 feet is about 8,000,000 pounds per acre. The weight of soil multiplied by 0.4% N equals 32,000 pounds of N that has been lost over the past 100 years. At a current cost of about 50 cents per pound of N, the lost N amounts to $16,000 per acre. If a farmer had a soil today that was 2 feet thick, close to 7% organic matter, there would be little need to fertilize more than just a minimal amount of N to make a 200 bushel corn crop. What’s past is past. What about this spring? There were some fields that probably lost an inch of topsoil over most of the field, or at least a great part of the field. There were several dust-loss events, with the worst on May 25 this spring. Given a starting organic matter content of 3%, total P2O5 of 2,000 pounds per acre 6 inches, 300 ppm K soil test, the financial loss in legacy fertilizer would have been: N- 580 pounds per acre at 50 cents per pound N = $298/acre P2O5 – 333 pounds per acre at 58 cents per pound P2O5 = $193/acre K – 600 pounds K2O per acre at 30 cents per pound K2O = $180/ acre S- 58 pounds per acre S at 30 cents per pound S = $17.40/acre Total cost of major nutrients lost in 1 inch topsoil = $688.40 per acre The farmer will not get a bill for this, but fertilizer rates over time will need to be more than recommended to keep pace, and it will only be replaced by adding it over time, as tracked by soil test values. The are only certain neighbors

who can and do take advantage of this topsoil loss- neighboring notill farms with standing residue. As can be seen in the image of blown soil deposits on a no-till field, the coarser particles of soil from the neighbors have nestled into the low-wind-velocity soil surface environment, increasing the no-till farmers’ fertility. I have observed over many years that no-till farmers, especially those who were first in their neighborhood to convert to no-till, have much higher soil test P values than their conventional till neighbor fields. No-till farmers do not apply more fertilizer than conventional till farmers, they typically apply less, partly because their neighbors contribute some to their fields nearly every year.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, July 26, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Devils Lake for John Thomas “Jack” Traynor, 94, who died calmly and quietly at home with his children holding his hands and praying with him the evening of July 11, 2021. He had visited with all five of his children over the weekend and with several of his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He lost Jane, his cherished wife of 66 years, on December 1, 2020. Burial will be in St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery with military honors provided by the Neathery-Simensen Post #756, Devils Lake Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the North Dakota Military Funeral Honors Team. Jack was born on November 19, 1926, in Devils Lake, to Mack Vincent Traynor and Elizabeth “Betty” Margaret (Dostert) Traynor. His mother, originally from Larimore, was an elementary school teacher in Devils Lake. She met Mack Traynor, who had been wounded in World War I, when he spoke to the students in her class. Jack was always very close to his older brother, Mack Jr., who was born just 18 months earlier. As children, Mack and Jack developed a life-long love of hunting and fishing that they would pass on to both of their families. He recalled hunting ducks in the East Bay of Devils Lake, which was no more than a slough when he grew up. In fact, the main body of Devils Lake was an alkali flat. Jack recalled walking across it when he was 9. Both Traynor boys played the accordion in the Devils Lake High School Band. He graduated from Devils Lake Central High School in 1944. He attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., and obtained an honorable discharge from the Navy in 1946. The Academy offered only an engineering degree, and he wanted to become a lawyer, like his father. He enrolled in the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, where he became active in the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and served as Chapter President. He was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa and earned a major in law from UND’s College of Arts and Sciences in 1949. He continued his legal education at the University of North Dakota School of Law where he was elected to Order of the Coif and earned a Juris Doctorate degree in 1951. He met Kathryn Jane Donovan while at the University of North Dakota. They married at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon on June 19, 1954. Throughout their marriage, he and Jane engaged in a life filled with faith, family, civic volunteering and leadership activities. He and Jane raised five busy children in Devils Lake. He was a life-long member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Devils Lake. His children and their families continue to practice the Catholic faith. Upon admission to the North Dakota Bar in 1951, he joined his father in the Traynor Law Firm in Devils Lake. He actively practiced law for more than 60 years. In his professional life, he served as Ramsey County Justice and Police Magistrate in Devils Lake. He served on the Executive Committee of the State Bar Association of North Dakota and on the Grievance Committee of the North Dakota Supreme Court that created the lawyer disciplinary system in North Dakota. After his father died in 1970, he was joined by attorneys Thomas E. Rutten and, eventually, his sons J. Thomas Traynor, Jr., and Daniel M. Traynor. After years of volunteer service, the North Dakota Jaycees recognized him with their Distinguished Service Award. He served on the Board of Directors for the UND Alumni Association and Foundation from 1959 to 1968. The UND Alumni Association awarded him its highest honor, the Sioux Award, in 1969. He also served on the Board of the Lake Region State

and many good lifelong friends, including his fraternity brothers. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude and thanks to Dr. Amit Panwalkar along with the nurses and staff at the Roger Maris Cancer Center and Infusion Center in Fargo and are grateful for their concern and compassionate guidance and care over the past three years. The family also wishes to thank the Hospice of the Red River Valley team and the Griswold Home Care and their caregivers for their professionalism in comfort, personal and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate all donations be made to Epsilon Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund at the Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho, the Roger Maris Cancer Center, Farm Rescue, or a charity of the donor’s choice.

College Foundation and was inducted into its Hall of Fame. In 1985, he was elected Grand Exalted Ruler (National President) of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He and Jane traveled to 48 of 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal. The Elks was a 1.6 million-member organization at the time. The Governor of North Dakota recognized his national service with a state Leadership Award. As Past GER, he continued his Elks involvement and particularly enjoyed serving on the Grand Lodge Youth Activities Committee, sponsor of the famous Elks Hoop Shoot competitions. In 1990, he was elected to the North Dakota State Senate. He served as a member and chairman of the Natural Resources and Judiciary Committees. Jane joined him during his 16 years in the legislature. The State Bar Association awarded him the Legislative Service Award in 1999. With the advent of heavy rains and snows beginning in 1993, the resulting flooding of Devils Lake occupied much of his time in the legislature. He sponsored legislation in 1997, 1999, and 2001 to appropriate state funds for an outlet from Devils Lake. While the early measures were dependent on federal participation which never materialized, the 2001 legislation provided for an outlet with or without federal funds. An outlet to the burgeoning lake was finally constructed in 2003. He served as the President Pro Tempore of the State Senate in 2003. Jack’s legislative service ended in 2006. He was a member of the Devils Lake Elks Lodge 1216, the local Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus, the Devils Lake Rotary Club and the American Legion. He was an avid gardener and loved to plant rose bushes and share the flowers with friends and family. He lived a life of faith, community service and leadership and was a devoted and loving husband to Jane. He was particularly proud of his family. He and Jane were pleased that four of their five children chose to remain in North Dakota and two of their sons practiced law in Devils Lake. All of the Traynor children followed their father in obtaining professional degrees with four becoming lawyers and one becoming a surgeon. He is survived by his children: Tom (Julie) Traynor of Devils Lake, Mimi (Kevin) Mahoney of Anthem, Ariz., Dr. Michael (Mary Beth) Traynor of Fargo, Paul Edward Traynor of Grand Forks, and Daniel Mack (Patricia) Traynor of Bismarck. Jack is also survived by his grandchildren: Dr. Erin Follman of Fargo, John Thomas Traynor III (fiancée, Josephine Knowski) of Devils Lake, and Katie Traynor of Shakopee, Minn.; Dr. Michael (Antinea Ascione) Traynor Jr. of Rochester, Minn., and Tim (Madison) Traynor of Fargo; and Mary, Daniel Mack Jr., and Joseph Traynor of Bismarck. Also surviving him are great-grandchildren: Olivia Marie and Patrick Thomas Follman of Fargo and Michael Donovan III and Amadeus Matthew Traynor of Rochester, Minn. Jack is survived by his 99-year-old sister-in-law Mary Eileen Nelson of Fargo and sister-in-law Rita Traynor, also of Fargo. Jack was preceded in death by his parents and treasured wife, Jane; brother Dr. Mack V. Traynor, Jr., of Fargo; brothers-in-law Dr. Edward J. Donovan of Denver, Colo. and Harry L. Nelson of Langdon; his grandson, Matthew “Matto” Thomas Traynor, of Fargo; and his grandson-in-law Matthew David Follman of Fargo. Jack’s children are profoundly honored and grateful to be the family of Jack and Jane Traynor, who both taught and led by example in their own lives. We loved them, will miss them every day, and will pray for them for the rest of our lives. Preferred memorials to St. Joseph School Foundation, Devils Lake Public Schools Development Fund, Elks Camp Grassick, or the Matto Foundation. Gilbertson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Obituaries

a school counselor at Sterling High School until her retirement. She married George Bowin in Sterling in 1982 and was warmly welcomed into his family. Sadly, George passed away in 1985 just three years after they were married. She was an avid world traveler, having visited numerous countries on all seven continents and many cities and regions throughout the United States. Her family members were often unsure of just where in the world she was but always knew she was enjoying her new experiences immensely. She was an excellent seamstress and sewed beautifully tailored clothing, including wedding gowns, for several of her sisters. She was also very skilled in both knitting and crocheting and gifted many family members with baptismal gowns and afghans for babies and adults. She treasured family time in Colorado with the Bowins and in Munich and at Wood Lake, ND, with the Schuler clan during the summer and on holidays. She loved little kids, and they loved her. Her Catholic faith was very important to her. She was a member of St. Anthony Church in Sterling where she attended daily Mass and served as Eucharistic Minister. She was active in her community and enjoyed baking pies by the dozen for church, school, and other charity events. She also en-

joyed working out and socializing at the gym with her Silver Sneakers group. Marge is survived by step-children: Daryl (Annette) Bowin of Akron, Colo., Karen (Eddie) Bryant of Archie, Mo., Martin Bowin of Loveland, Colo.; step-grandchildren: Andy and Dallas Bowin, Amber Olson, William Bo Holley, Amy Zimmerman, Jessica Whalen, Jennifer Appleton, and Jake Bowin; 21 step-great-grandchildren, brother Harold Schuler (Jan) of Kinsale, Va.; sisters: Mary (Charles) Richards of Cook, Minn., Irene (Jack) Meier of Hastings, Minn., Linda (Gary) Nyquist of Crossville, Tenn., Ellen (Stanford) Erickson of Grand Forks; and Patricia Nygaard of Shoreview, Minn.; sister-in-law Marcia (Sidener) Schuler of Bismarck; brotherin-law James Deibert of Fargo; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; step-daughter Cheryl Holley; step-grandson Austin Lancaster; brothers: Thomas, Richard, and Steven Schuler; sister Mildred Deibert; and sister-in-law Mary Ellen (Korb) Schuler.

Post 98 Red Sox shut out Rolla 6-0 in last game of regular season By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

In their last tune-up before the postseason, the Langdon Post 98 Red Sox American Legion baseball team hosted Rolla on July 15. Behind a great pitching performance from Markus Kingzett, the Red Sox won the game 6-0 and took a 20-2 record into the District 5 American Legion tourney, which was held in Grafton July 19-21. Against Rolla the Red Sox put up three runs on the bottom of first

inning. Brady Regner was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Carter Tetrault, which was followed by an RBI single by Cooper Zimmer. Jack Romfo would score on a wild pitch to make the score 3-0. Langdon would add two more runs in the third when Romfo scored on a Rolla error, and Peyton Ullyott singled to bring home Regner. Jackson Delvo electrified the crowd coming home on a double steal to close out the scoring. That was more than enough for Kingzett on the hill, as he dazzled Rolla hitters for seven innings to

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Langdon Area Baseball has three teams qualify for State The phenomenal year it’s been for Langdon Area Baseball just continues to get better and better. The 12U team qualified for the State B Tournament in Velva, and now the Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth and Langdon Red Sox American Legion teams have made it as well. The Eagles won the District 3 title for a remarkable fifth straight year, coming back to beat Nelson County in a winners bracket game, then defeated Park River to win the District crown 6-2 on July 17. Langdon now plays in the State B Babe Ruth Baseball tournament July 24-28 in Bottineau, with the Eagles taking on Thompson in the opening round. The Red Sox won the District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament July 19-21, also in Grafton. Langdon for a change had luck on their side, as they came back to shock Park River 5-4, then hung on beat Grafton Post 41… The Sox now advance to the State B American Legion Baseball Tournament in Oakes

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings July 6, 2021 On July 6, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. David Zeis was not in attendance. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Nick Moser; motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the minutes from June 15, 21 & 23, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the Agreement with Langdon City, stating the city will pay for the Vanguard remote edit portion of the program maintenance contract, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. The Agreement will be sent to Langdon City for their approval. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and reviewed the project updates from KLJ. Amounts spent in each district on gravel was reviewed. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve 40’ of culvert requested by North Olga Township between Sections 8 and 17, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. The request had been approved by the Water Board. There was discussion on culvert replacements on County 6 and whether they should be included in the project or done with local funding the year before the project. It was decided to replace the culverts the year before to allow them to settle before the overlay project. The county would most likely not have enough federal funding for the overlay project until 2024. Stanley Dick made a motion to publish a call for bids for a single axle snowplow truck with no wing for the Langdon District, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Various items were discussed to be put on the public auction sale. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, met with the commissioners and reviewed various allowable options the Federal COVID Recovery Funds can be used for. Kempert also discussed the purpose of the Emergency Levy/Fund with the commissioners. There was discussion on the appropriate amount to maintain in the fund. Bruce Wirth and Rita Wirth met with the commissioners and presented a rough draft Munich Ambulance budget. Water Board members and Jeff Frith from Devils Lake Basin met with the commissioners to discuss

Cavalier County’s contribution to Devils Lake Basin (DL Basin). Frith explained many items the funds are used for besides flooding. Lisa Gellner, Auditor, asked if the commissioners should be approving the assessment for DL Basin. Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, stated that the Water Board has authority to do so. It was consensus that as long as the Water Board wanted to continue their participation in DL Basin, the commissioners would continue to approve the assessment on the benefited acres. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $1,090.00 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $218.02 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $2,180.17 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Greg Fetsch, Sheriff, met with the commissioners and reviewed where the new patrol vehicle would be paid from. The commissioners were in agreement to use the overload and asset forfeiture funds, with the balance paid from the Sheriff’s budget. The conditions/need for a burn ban was reviewed. The commissioners decided that no burn ban was needed at this time. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, stated she felt leaving a conditional burn ban in effect for “very high” fire index and above was always good because citizens stayed more aware of the need to check the fire index before burning. The maintenance contract for Josh Plummer was updated. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the current contract through December 31, 2021, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. The Soil Conservation budget was reviewed as submitted. The commissioners asked that the budget be submitted with a dollar amount and that they come to the next meeting to present their request. Various budget items were reviewed and adjusted. The budget will be reviewed again at the next meeting. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by Greg Goodman to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: LEEVERS FOODS, SHERIFF__ 7.32 JILL DENAULT, NVHSZ___ 200.00 JOSH PLUMMER, MAINT__ 419.25 OTTER TAIL POWER CO, SS______ _________________________ 117.07 MONTANA-DAKOTA UTILITIES, SS________________________ 46.87

In my last article, I showed the outside of the Gorge Gallery/Chamber building where the Brush Bunch holds their meetings. We do most of our painting and do a lot of socializing. Shown in the accompanying picture are some crucifixes by Paul, made with barb wire and some with horseshoe nails, beaded Christmas wreaths, and decorations by Amy. That is but a small area of articles for sale. In our area set aside for such articles, you will find something for just about everybody. They may not need it, but it would still be a great gift: tabletop paintings by Laurel; twined rugs, hot pads and mats by Karen (new); a large collection of rugs- remember most (if not all) articles are handmade; Walla Theater t-shirts; t-shirts of the Gingras Trading post painted by Drew; a large collection of quilts of all sizes by local quilters; gloves; jars of jams and jellies by Leona; decorative glasses of many sizes by Lori; greeting cards; copies of paintings by several local artists for all and every occasion; a large collection of cutlery by Rada; coasters by Hello Lucy; local photos donated by Cindy Freschette; and - best of all - are the paintings by local artists in oil, acrylic or watercolor along with photographs of assorted subjects, sizes and prices.

Public Notice

Cavalier County Republican

by Heather Duerre of Walhalla There has been a new development at the farm with un-named rooster. I was so disappointed today when this “incident” took place. Things had been going so well between us. We were both sticking to our previous agreement, and in fact, there has been a few cases in which I entered his domain without my lifesaving rake! I felt as if our relationship was blossoming like a flower in springtime. Well, today I realized that flower is an iris. It has bloomed and died! At least that’s what I thought… When I walked up to the chicken pen today, I observed something so horrific that I even hate to write about it. I noticed some of the ladies had bare necks and backs as if something or someone was deliberately plucked their feathers. What kind of sick some-

thing or someone would do this??? I know, a MONSTER, a monster or the UN-NAMED ROOSTER, that’s who! I shook my head at him and said “Wow, I really thought we had gotten past this. I scared you so bad with my cat-like reflexes and Charlie’s Angel beast mode that you have turned your sick and pathetic aggressions towards your own ladies!?” I knew this would call for something drastic. I had remembered seeing a girl wearing a black face mask at a store once and thinking they make anyone look like a ninja. Not just any ninja, but one that could take on un-named rooster. I had a duty to protect the ladies, since it was my fault un-named rooster had turned on them. I must have made him feel so inadequate and afraid of me that he had to seek revenge on the ladies. Anyways… I ran as quick as I could, which is super quick, and looked for a mask to put on. I decided that the black mask might make me look too ninja-like, and I was hoping we could try and talk this out. So, I grabbed my “lip” mask. I feel as if it was the best choice

Un-named Rooster Chronicles

and would say to un-named rooster “Yes, I am a ninja, yes I can and will hurt you if I have to.” It has lips on it, so I can look cute and talk this out without being violent. Plus, the black mask really made me look pale and highlighted the bags under my eyes. Anyways… as I entered the pen in my ninja lip mask, I heard this deep voice penetrating through the clouds

from outside the barn saying “Wait, Heather, don’t be so rash in punishing the rooster. It could be that the chickens are just molting.” I thought “Wow, divine intervention just saved un-named rooster from experiencing some of my most wicked ninja moves.” Un-named rooster owes this “voice” his life…at least for today. Also, by “a voice coming from

above,” I actually mean the voice of my husband, Mike. Apparently, it was Mike standing on the other side of the wall yelling at me to wait. As I write this, I think hmmm... this is the second time Mike seems to be on un-named rooster’s side. I will deal with that later. For now, I am off to research molting to see if un-named rooster will live to crow another day.

By Rita Maisel

David Beauchamp’s Story After seeing the earlier story about Dick Hamann who was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines, Leo Beauchamp sent a copy of the article to his cousin-brother, David, with the message “you need to write something about your Peace Corps experience,” apparently including my phone number. What followed were numerous phone calls and enough material and pictures for several columns. While I have not met David in person, I already knew several of his relatives and knew his early story in the Olga book would supply the necessary facts. With thanks to David for all the information, my task this week is to condense the story without leaving out too much. David was born to Joseph and Dorina (Brusseau) Beauchamp, who lived on a farm in South Olga Township, and a few days after his birth, his mother died. One of his father’s sisters, known to many as Aunt Mary, came to live with them and help to raise David. Two years later they moved to Langdon where Joseph had purchased a house and opened a creamery and restaurant about where the Country Inn is located today. Joseph died on Christmas Eve in 1943 ending their operation of the creamery and restaurant and leaving David an orphan at the age of three. Aunt Mary and David lived on in the house on 4th Street with summers, weekends, and holidays often spent on the farm with Uncle Ernest and Aunt Adeline (Leo’s parents), so the boys were more like brothers than cousins. Aunt Mary’s house was large enough to rent out the upstairs to Toby Pehkonen and family for several years, and the families remained close friends. David had a paper route before he was old enough for a work permit, and then at age 14, Toby hired him as shelf stacker and carryout boy at National Tea Grocery and later at the Piggly Wiggly Store. Meanwhile, David got his early and high school education at St. Alphonsus with the class of 1958. The summer after graduating from high school, David became the produce “manager” at Toby’s store. That fall he enrolled at St. John’s University and graduated in 1962. After college graduation, a friend he knew at college decided to go to Europe to tour and David wanted to visit his aunt who was a French Presentation Sister on the island of Guernsey. The 1960s were a time when many college students wanted to tour Europe and see the world for themselves - often going from place to place on foot or on bicycles. Sister Mary Edith had been serving on Guernsey Island since shortly after World War I. During World War II the Island was taken over by German occupation, and the school where she worked became a hospital. David’s aunt helped the travelers find a car dealer, and they purchased an older car unable to climb hills dependably and received another form of education in the process. After two months of touring, they sold the car for $10. David returned to Guernsey to work as an “orderly” for a month, and his friend continued touring in Northern Europe. Returning home in late September of 1962, David had mail from the Navy requesting that he report to the US Navy in Pensacola, Florida, in August – a date already passed. The Peace Corps would be a wise alternative that he had previously considered so he signed the paperwork needed for the new organization and later learned he was one of the first volunteers from North Dakota. While waiting for a notice that he qualified and had been accepted, he worked as an orderly at St. Ansgar’s Hospital psychiatric unit in Moorhead, Minn. While visiting relatives in Olga for Christmas he received a telegram from Sargant Shriver (heading the Peace Corps at that time) requesting his acceptance to Peace Corps training in Hilo, Hawaii, for work in Thailand. It was 35 below the day the telegram arrived, and Hawaii sounded very good. The notice included information that if the training was successful, they would go right from Hawaii to Thailand without a chance to return home. Thai people are very friendly and

Monday, July 26, 2021 – Page 15

willing to help. The three-month training in Hilo included basic culture, some history, and four hours of language (two new material and two practicing the language) each day so they were busy from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, six days a week. It also included swimming, exercises, hikes, and group meetings to stress the goal of compatibility for building good community support in Thailand. The training group had 52 members when they began, with 21 going to Thailand and 18 completing their two-year placement. The first major stop was in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, where they were welcomed by government and military personnel with parades and meetings. The weather was warm - about 85 - so too warm for enjoying all the events. They also had problems with their language skills for the first few months, but this improved with time and effort. The group was divided with some of them going to resettlement camps and some to rural development. David was in rural community development in Northeast Thailand about 18 hours from Bangkok by train. He compared their work to the county extension agents in our area. Their mission was to be a friendly example of organization and solutions. They encouraged the building of wells for safe clean water which was hampered by the monsoon season. For many of the volunteers, language was a major problem, but the people were mostly kind, and with efforts on both sides the Americans were accepted and made friends. Life in rural Thailand is agricultural, and their diet is based on rice. The pictures sent show muddy rice paddies and the workers in the field using primitive tools and baskets on poles over their shoulders. He described the food as amazingly easy to enjoy, and their best meal was a small chicken split on bamboo that is cooked on an open fire with spice and sauce followed with greens, mango, and coconut milk as a treat. He made only three trips to Bangkok because of the distance and travel difficulties. The daily work was basically friendship. David lived in a district with outlying villages they reached by walking or bus. In the early days he had a Thai partner who helped him speak to the village leaders, but it was a critical skill to know the Thai language. One program made purebred sheep available to the village families for breeding and improving the economy. In college, David had seen the wide screen movie “South Pacific” and wanted to visit the Island of Bali in Indonesia which is very beautiful. Volunteers had 45 days of free time per year, so along with a friend, David bought a freighter ship ticket from Bangkok to Jakarta. Inflation was high, and Indonesia was being infiltrated with communists, so Americans were being excluded. The ports had people protesting, but in the areas away from cities they would be safe. All forms of transportation were crowded, and the black market was active. On trains you might have to pay a tip to have a seat, but on buses bribes were not needed. From Jakarta they crossed to Bali on a barge, and here he met a girl who spoke English, and they kept in touch. He returned to Thailand and finished his tour of duty and then went back to Bali for Artini. It was not a good time for Americans in Indonesia as Americans were thought to be CIA agents, so the visit was short. David returned to the USA without her. However, three years after they met, her father gave final permission for them to marry, and he returned to Bali for the weddings. First there is the marriage under government regulations. Then there was the marriage in the Catholic church and lastly the family wedding so all can share in the party. The couple will be celebrating their 56th wedding anniversary in March 2022. They have made their home in Moorhead and Campbell, CA, where their children live today. The children are Andrew and Dorina, both married and with two children each. Two of the grandchildren graduated from high school recently and will be attending college this fall. A later phone call told more of his career. David did not include information on his career in Moorhead where he earned a master’s in counseling and worked with Social Service for a time. We also know he was interested in politics, represented Moorhead in

Langdon Long Ago

the Minnesota Legislature from 19741978, and has been active in political and community projects most of his

life. He has also had a variety of positions in his work with Moorhead University. David and Artini are now

retired and have time to spend with family, friends, and grandchildren.

Cavalier County Health District reminds public to take precautions amid Delta variant concerns

North Dakota

First Step to Lower Prescription Drug Prices is Here in North Dakota During the 2021 legislative session, AARP fought to make the cost of prescription drugs more aﬀordable. In the past two years, 24% of North Dakota residents age 45 and older report not ﬁlling a prescription. Of those, 44% cited cost as the reason.

As the Delta variant of COVID-19 has recently emerged as the dominate strain in the United States, Cavalier County Health District reminds the public of the importance of prevention measures and vaccinations to reduce the risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19, including the Delta variant, is present and spreading in North Dakota communities. Individuals who are not feeling well are encouraged to stay home and seek out a COVID-19 testing opportunity. Preventative measures such as testing, isolating, masking and social distancing have worked to slow the spread of the virus. Individuals should continue to practice these measures. While these practices continue to be important, vaccines are the best defense against COVID-19. By getting vaccinated individuals are protecting not only themselves, but their communities. They are also playing a critical role in stopping COVID-19 from mutating to other stronger, more dangerous variants. “We are fortunate to have the tool of vaccination in our toolchest. That places us in a much better position than we were a year ago to fight this pandemic,” said Steph Welsh, Cavalier County Health District nurse. “We strongly encourage those who have not yet gotten around to getting vaccinated to call or stop in and get vaccinated to protect themselves and their community.” The Delta variant or B.1.617.2 strain is a variant that has been cited as the “fittest and fastest” variant of COVID-19 to date. It has been found to spread more easily and quickly than other variants. Some studies suggest that the Delta variant also increases an individual’s risk of having severe outcomes after COVID-19 infection. “Of particular concern with the Delta variant is that it appears this variant is affecting younger populations,” said Kirby Kruger, disease control and forensic pathology section chief for the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH). “This variant, with its increased infectiousness coupled with a large percentage of people not vaccinat-

ed, may lead to more cases of COVID-19, increased hospitalizations and potentially more deaths.” Reports out of the United Kingdom are showing children and adults aged 5-49 years are two and a half times more likely to become infected with the Delta variant compared with those 50 years or older. This highlights the importance of all individuals, not just those at increased risk, getting vaccinated. It also reiterates the importance of masking and social distancing for those unable to be vaccinated. With children under the age of 12 not yet able to get vaccinated, it is important for those who are able to be vaccinated to do so as soon as possible. People who are not vaccinated and cannot be vaccinated are recommended to mask and social distance in public. Early research shows the vaccines available in the United States Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, do offer protection against the Delta variant. On the contrary, people who have not been fully vaccinated, or those who are only partially vaccinated (one dose of Pfizer or Moderna), are at highest risk of being infected by the Delta variant. “Given that this variant is much more highly transmissible, it may be playing a role in the increased infection rate observed within the state in the last 14 days. Of particular concern is the increase in hospitalization rate of younger adults aged 20 to 29, which ranged from 0.4% in March 2021 to 3.4% of cases in June 2021. Additionally, COVID-19 cases are about eight times more prevalent in unvaccinated individuals compared to those who are fully vaccinated in North Dakota,” said Grace Njau, special projects & health analytics director for the NDDoH. “Currently Cavalier County has no reported cases of COVID-19,” according to Welsh. “We would love to see it stay that way and minimize the impact of this virus as we move into the fall and winter months.” Individuals can contact Cavalier County Health District at 256-2402 or go to www.cavaliercountyhealth. com for questions related to COVID-19, testing locations, care information or for assistance in scheduling a vaccine appointment.

The legislature passed House Bill 1032—prescription drug cost transparency legislation that will go into effect on August 1. Drug makers will be required to report and provide justification of large price increases. Transparency laws provide consumers with warning of increases in their drug costs. Thank these legislators for their support of HB 1032. We also thank Gov. Burgum for signing the legislation, and Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread for his leadership.
