Hopefully, tance to the riders can be ofthe area that is the Rendezvous Region is by bike, which is why four years ago Nathan Smith organized the first Tour de Rendezvous bike ride. This year, the route that Smith has designed will start and end in Walhalla on Saturday, July 11. “We have a 21 and 55 mile route. The ride rotates each year within the Rendezvous Region so we involve different cities. We want this to truly be a tour of the Rendezvous Region,” Smith said. Smith, himself an avid cyclist,

in time, the area could become a destination for cyclists across the country and around the world. “The event has grown each year with over 65 registrations for the last ride. This year may be a challenge with COVID-19, but we are hoping people are looking to get out in a safe outdoor event,” Smith shared. COVID-19 has had a major impact on events of all kinds with most being canceled. While cycling is, for the most part, a socially distant sport, Smith has

A plan for inclement weather is also ready. “If there is inclement weather, we will first try and delay the ride a few hours if it looks like the weather will clear up. If we cannot get the ride in, riders will be refunded their registration fee,” Smith said. The two routes that Smith designed allow the riders to

St Alphonsus Catholic Church of Langdon has welcomed a new priest to the parish. Father Michael Hickin is looking forward to serving the Cavalier County Catholic parishes. “I’m following a much-beloved pastor, which is great but that also comes with its pressures. Fr. Phil spoke so highly of the other area ministers and how well they worked together [and I’m] happy to continue that trad i t i o n ,” Fr. Hickin said. F r . Hickin was ordained a Catholic priest in 1997. He explained that from his earliest days, God had always been an appealing mystery to him. Hickin grew up in a happy, faith-filled family, and while in college, he became passionate about his faith. After graduating, he set out on an odyssey - backpacking around Europe andexploring the roots

of Christianity especially in the monastic tradition. Upon his return to the United States, he joined the U.S. Army for three years and then entered a monastery in France. “Guess I’m a guy who doesn’t mind strong contrast. I moved to Rome to study theology, which is where, strangely enough, my paths crossed with the Bishop of Fargo. He sent me for further studies in Washington, D.C.,” Hickin said. H e shared that this was only the outer shell of the Call. In its essence, the Call has been a steadily intensifying friendship with Jesus for him. Fr. Hickin shared that he answered the Call because he encountered His love. “It was so big it was worth my whole life. The adventure just never lets up,” Fr. Hickin shared. cont. on page 2

Governor Burgum Proclaims July Lakes Appreciation Month Governor Doug Burgum has proclaimed July Lakes Appreciation Month in North Dakota. When thinking of North Dakota, images of the Badlands, wheat and corn fields, and even oil wells will most likely pop into your mind before lakes. However, you may be surprised to learn that North Dakota has about 4,500 lakes. Of that number, 450 lakes have public access and some degree of oversight. North Dakota lakes are desirable destinations for boating, fishing, camping and swimming. Lake festivities in the summer and fishing derbies in both summer and winter attract in-state and out-of- state recreational enthusiasts alike. Most state residents get their drinking water from groundwater

or river sources. However, about 67,000 North Dakotans depend on a lake for their source of drinking water. As you venture out to your favorite lake for a fishing trip, a weekend of camping or just a leisurely boat ride, remember it depends on you to help keep the shorelines clean and the water Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) free. Most importantly...If You Pack It In...Pack It Out! To help celebrate Lakes Appreciation Month, consider leading or taking part in activities such as: • Organizing a lake cleanup project • Organizing a biking or hiking event at a local lake • Helping organize a local lake festival

Cavalier County 4-H Achievement Day 4-H members around the county are busy finishing their 4-H projects to exhibit at the Cavalier County 4-H Achievement Day on Wednesday, July 15, to be tentatively held at the Cavalier County Courthouse, pending opening. The event will be closed to the public this year, but the projects will be posted online for everyone to see. Even though this year will look different than past years, interview judging will take place starting at 9:00 a.m. The event will follow the CDC guidelines, the Department of Health recommendations, as well as NDSU’s 4-H Covid-19 guidelines to ensure that judges and 4-H members all stay as safe as possible during the event. There will be assigned time slots, face masks will be worn along with social distancing, and there will be disinfecting of high-touch surfaces between 4-H members. The 4-H’ers will visit with a judge about what they did, how they made the project and what they learned as they present their projects to them. The 4-H projects will be posted in real time online on both the NDSU Extension-Cavalier County Facebook page and the NDSU Extension – Cavalier County website (https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/cavaliercountyextension).

Consumer Decision Making will also be done a little differently this year. It will be held as a virtual state option. Consumer Decision Making helps 4-H’ers learn to make consumer decisions and defend them. They compare four items and make choices as to which item is the best for the standards given in a situation. The 4-H members will sign up for the event if they are interested, get the study materials, and show their skills at the virtual state contest on July 21.

Langdon’s blood drive brings in 43 volunteers Langdon community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on June 22 at St. Alphonsus which helped collect a total of 43 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 43 individuals volunteered to donate blood and 38 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on June 22. A total of five 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. There were 15 people who volunteered for the first time. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to McKinzie Sivertson, who coordinated the drive, and CCMH Foundation which sponsored the blood drive, as well as Billie Symons, who assisted the day of the drive. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases. Vitalant is the only blood provider

to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donor rewards program. The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on: August 19, 2020. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Let sleeping dogs lie We are just over halfway through 2020. For me, this is actually cause to celebrate cause if, like me, you read news daily, this year has been absolutely nuts. So much so, I wonder if we have become numb to it. Much like the dogs in Ivan Pavlov's study, when the news comes on we are slowly being conditioned to expect it to be bad. This conditioning, if it remains for the remaining of the year, could prove deadly for the newspaper industry and journalism alike. If no one wants to read the honest news or hear the honest truth on news, the entire premise for the industry will stutter and fall. Already, there are signs of this. While for years the major news networks have been shifting toward opinion rather than reporting, the spread of this is making its way into

smaller news sources. When local news becomes local opinion then where will the fourth estate be? Much like freedom of speech, a free press is crucial to the democratic process. There are journalists out there that report. There are news sources that don't put opinion first and news second. There are still local news and national outlets that put the crux of events before the almighty dollar. Opinions are a commentator's way of making money. Too many have placed their trust in these commentators to give them straight news. The small town newspapers across the nation depend on advertising just like those high dollar commentators. Being able to have an audience is crucial to the survival of the news industry. The times may be changing and a shift may be occurring, but let the sleeping dogs of major media lie and give the small town underdog a chance to prove they are the best in show.

Remember when . . .

This old photo was submitted by Leo Beauchamp. The parish at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Olga soon realized a new church was needed. Shown is the church and its parishioners around 1900. Having grown to 300 families (Olga drew people from a nine mile radius) a new and larger church was in consideration. The second church, shown, was built in 1883 and served the parish until 1917.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

Le tour du resistance... Back in 2002, the North Dakota Legislature held committee meetings about the legalization of genetically modified wheat. Industry and academic experts were brought in to discuss the pros and cons of what GM wheat might look like on the North Dakota prairie. At the time, it was ascertained that GM wheat could increase farmers’ yields by 30 percent. It was also the time in which the rest of the world was dead set against it, so a 30 percent increase in yield would have just filled the grain bins quicker, but nobody would have purchased it. Enter the Canadian Wheat Board. As a journalist who has covered the wheat board from time to time, I can tell you that the CWB was foaming at the mouth waiting for North Dakota to legalize it. North Dakota would have then lost its wheat markets, and Canadian farmers would have swooped in and picked them up. In fact, the Canadian Wheat Board had already begun negotiating with some U.S. trade partners because in 2002, they were reasonably sure that North Dakota was going to legalize GM wheat. So GM wheat never was legalized in the state, and although research continues to be done on it, there isn’t any talk, at least publicly, about legalizing it now. However, GM canola has been around a long time and in more recent years, corn and soybeans.

Because glyphosate is used on GM canola, corn and soybeans, over time the weeds build up a resistance to the chemical. In fact, weeds will begin to resist any chemical over the long term. This has brought numerous challenges to North Dakota, many of which were described back in those 2002 committee meetings in the state capitol. According to a 2010 study, some 80 percent of the weeds growing alongside North Dakota’s roads show evidence of resistance to genetic modification. That’s 80 percent of ditch weeds. That’s a lot of flora, folks, and the only ways to get rid of it is cut it or burn it because the glyphosate no longer is effective. OK! We knew that was coming so what happens next? If we continue to spray the same chemical, only more of it, on the same weeds, we’re wasting money. If we use any other chemical, such as 2,4-D, for the same purpose and don’t mix up the chemicals annually, it’s inviting more resistance. Here’s where things get fuzzy regarding this topic. With all those weeds in the North Dakota ditches, is it possible that they could cross pollinate with traditional weeds? I don’t know the answer to that question, but in reading about GM corn and squash, it’s possible but unlikely. You still have all those weeds that are resistant to glyphosate, aka Round Up. Can cows eat them, what does it do to the soil, will it change the habits of bees which are the busiest pollinators out there and are there other chemicals out there that will actually kill this incredible hulk of the plant world? The other challenge here is that

GM crops really make science angry, not that they’ve been used but because the chemical companies, in this case Monsanto, patent the plant, and it makes science furious because you “can’t patent nature.” But they do get patents on biology as Monsanto did with Round Up Ready canola. It created a legal fight that went round the world. In 1997, Percy Schmeiser found volunteer canola growing in one of his canola fields near Bruno, Saskatchewan. Long story short, Schmeiser was found guilty of “stealing”, and Monsanto had won a landmark case against him. Schmeiser maintained it was drift from another field, but Monsanto made a scapegoat out of him and sued him. He appealed, and it went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada before he lost his case in a 5-4 decision. The court ordered each party to pay its own expenses so Schmeiser never did have to pay Monsanto in the lawsuit and donations from around the world paid his legal bills. Following that episode, Schmeiser went on the speaking circuit, including the North Dakota State Fair, so he could explain Monsanto’s “predatory practices.” In a recent interview with CBC on the 20th anniversary of the lawsuit, Schmeiser was still troubled by the fact that a corporation can own a farmer’s crops. “People settled in this country so they could be free and farmers could grow the plants that we want and that right should not be taken away,” he said. “We don’t think it’s right.” Like the weed, Schmeiser who is now 90, personifies resistance.

Our founding fathers knew knowledge was power when they made “Freedom of Speech” our first amendment. Now more than ever journalism matters. Facts matter. Real news matters.

Forage seeding crop insurance deadline nears USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds producers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming that for the 2021 crop year a Fall Seeded Practice has been added for: 1) Irrigated Alfalfa Forage Seeding in all Montana and Wyoming counties; and 2) for Irrigated and Non-Irrigated Alfalfa Forage Seeding in all North Dakota and South Dakota counties. The Forage Seeding crop insurance policy insures newly established forage stands during the initial crop year of establishment. The final date to purchase or make changes to Fall Seeded Forage Seeding crop insurance in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming is July 31. Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Producers may select from several coverage options, including yield coverage, revenue protection, and area risk policies. Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2021 crop year. Agents can help producers determine what policy works best for

their operation and review existing coverage to ensure the policy meets their needs. RMA is authorizing additional flexibilities due to coronavirus while continuing to support producers, working through Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) to deliver services, including processing policies, claims and agreements. RMA staff are working with AIPs and other customers by phone, mail, and electronically to continue supporting crop insurance coverage for producers. Farmers with crop insurance questions or needs should continue to contact their insurance agents about conducting business remotely (by telephone or email). More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Producers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma.usda.gov.

Picnic Fun July is National Picnic Month! Picnics can make great memories for families and can be a fun summer activity. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are of when my mom would pack us a picnic lunch on a warm summer Sunday afternoon, and the whole family of 5 would all go out into the pasture for a picnic in the trees by the creek. I can’t tell you so much what we did while we were out there, other than crossing beaver dams, climbing trees, and going on nature adventures. I can’t tell you the exact foods we ate, other than sandwiches, carrots, and chips. But, I can tell you that we walked about one mile to get to the best spot. I can tell you we crossed low water or beaver dams to get there. And, I most definitely can tell you the feelings that I had while we were spending time together, connecting with nature, and doing something special that would make memories to last a lifetime. Even if you don’t have the picturesque setting that I had as a child, there are a lot of fun places you can have a picnic. The city parks often have nice grass to sit on, picnic tables to possibly use, and some shaded areas for respite from the hot sun. It’s often times just fun to have a picnic in your backyard or on your front step once in a while. If you are lucky enough to have some of your own pasture land like I did as a child, they make great places to use as picnic spots as well. The point is to get out into the fresh air and enjoy summer (or spring and fall…those can be just as much fun). It doesn’t have to take much time out of your schedule to plan for a picnic, and you can make it as simple or as complex as you wish. Sometimes you may want to just grab a quick sandwich, wash some carrots, and head out the door. Other times, you may want to cut your sandwiches, vegetables, or fruits into fancy shapes; prepare a more complex salad; or design some activities that take some time to plan. Picnics have limitless possibilities including who you

ask to go on the picnic with you. People of all ages can have a picnic, and it can be family or friends alike that you ask to join you for the fun adventure. No matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong with a picnic. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your picnic experience: Pack Healthy Foods: • Remember MyPlate – Make sure to include all of the food groups: Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein, and Dairy. • Think Whole – Choose whole foods (closest to the source) and whole grains. Shop the outside edge of the grocery store. • Avoid Processed Foods – Shop fresh fruits and vegetables and bake your own protein-based food such as roast or chicken to limit sodium and preservatives. • Stay Hydrated – Be sure to pack enough water to keep you hydrated. Drinks with sugar and caffeine can contribute to dehydration, so water is best. Keep in mind that reusable water bottles come in all different sizes and shapes to help with packing and are better for the environment. Food Safety: • Keep Foods Safe – Foods need to stay out of the temperature danger zone (40-140 degrees F) to limit the growth of harmful bacteria. Make sure to find a cooler that works for you (one with wheels or a backpack option are useful). • Pack enough reusable ice packs or ice to keep your food cold. Freeze the foods you can freeze (for example ham and cheese sandwiches) to help keep things cool. (Tip: if you know you will eat all of the food, pack ice in baggies or reusable containers to help keep your food cold. Once you have eaten, you can use the ice to cool your drinking water.) • Wash Your Hands – Make sure to wash your hands with warm, soapy water if possible before you eat. If that is not an option, hand wipes or hand sanitizers are acceptable second options and are fairly easy to pack and transport. Fun Activities: • Flipflop toss, Sponge Toss, or Flying Discs – All are either going to be with you already or are lightweight and easy to carry. You can make a contest of how far, how high, or most accurate.

• Stick Sculpture Contest – There could be a contest for most creative, most complex, or whatever else you can think of as you design. Part of the fun is the exploration when looking for sticks. • Cloud Stories – Just lay in the grass and create stories based on what you see in the clouds. You could all take turns adding to the story using the same cloud or with the introduction of new clouds. • Leaf Races – If you are by a flowing water source, you can have leaf races with start and end points or time how quickly different leaves travel in the flow. • Nature Treasure Hunt – Make a list of things to see while on your picnic. It could include things like an animal’s home, an insect, 3 different types of trees. The possibilities are endless! Reminder: look for treasure, don’t keep it. Leave nature where you found it. Other Tips: • Remember the Sunscreen, Hat and Sunglasses – Make sure to apply sunscreen a half hour before being out in the sun and reapply every couple of hours. Protecting yourself from the UV rays from the sun is important. • Blanket – A blanket could be a nice item to sit on during your picnic or lay on after but isn’t necessary. Sometimes a nice, soft piece of grass works just as well! • Pack in/Pack out – Remember to make sure that whatever you bring to the picnic, you take back with you. Be sure to clean up your picnic area and leave it just as it was when you got there so that others might enjoy the same area. • Reduce Your Environmental Impact – There are a lot of great options for reusable containers to keep your food in while on a picnic. Some don’t take up much room, like reusable sandwich wraps and reusable baggies. If you are going to make picnics a regular pastime, it might be well worth your investment, and it’s much better for the environment. • Put Your Devices Away – You may want to have your phone or camera with to take a few pictures but then put it away. Memories aren’t made with devices between people. No matter who you choose to picnic with or what you choose to do or eat, July is the perfect month to do it in. If you would like more ideas of foods that you could pack or activities you could do while on a picnic, visit our website at www.ag.ndsu. edu and search recipes or family activities. You can also call us at 2562560 or email me at katie.d.henry@ ndsu.edu. Happy picnicking!

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Rebecca Breddin Big Pembina & Walhalla Lutheran Parish

We sing in the hymn Canticle of the Turning, “Could the world be about to turn?” In the book of Acts there is a story about Paul and Silas, early followers of Jesus, preaching about Jesus as the Messiah who suffered and was raised from the dead. In the story some folks were persuaded, others were not. A crowd gathers around the house of a man named Jason, as he was providing Paul and Silas a place to stay. Then this angry crowd pulls Jason out of his house and drags him and some other believers through the streets to the city authorities, shouting, “These people who have been turning the world upside down have come here also!” It may feel as if the world is turning upside down these past few months, but the reality is the world has been turning upside down ever since a young Jewish man from the countryside went around proclaiming that the kingdom of God is here and now and offering forgiveness of sin. It is also easy to be nostalgic about the past, as if there was never any controversy or conflict. Those feelings are false. We fall for nostalgia because nostalgia tastes so good. The truth is the church has always been on unsteady ground. There has been opposition, challenges, change and discernment since the beginning of the church. The church has always been intertwined in politics because the church is in the work of asking ourselves, “How do we live together as the body of Christ?” Our very leader was a political threat and was murdered for his

vision of how the current state of affairs was not orientated towards the poor, orphan, widow and the lost sheep. This year, in the denomination I am rostered in and serve as a pastor, marks and commemorates the martyrdom of the Emanuel 9. On June 17, 2015 a prayer-and-Biblestudy group met at Mother Emanuel. True to their spirit of hospitality they welcomed a newcomer, a young white man. As the Bible study ended they rose for prayer, standing in a circle with their eyes closed—during which time the young man pulled out a handgun and murdered nine of them before fleeing from the building. This young man, the shooter, was raised and a member of an Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) congregation. As a church, as Christians, we are called to confess the sin of racism, condemn the ideology of white supremacy, and strive for racial justice and peace. Stay with me. Don’t turn away from a conversation you feel has been “overplayed”. The truth is, this conversation has been going on for a long time, but some of us are just now showing up because it is in the national spotlight. We need to keep having this conversation because the completeness and fullness of God’s kingdom has not yet come to full fruition. Then we need to take our conversation beyond statements and prayers, for we are called to act and respond to injustices in our communities. We need to begin to do our part in turning the world upside down. What is our part in this turning of the world upside down? What is being called of us? What does the Lord require of us but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with our God? What does this look like in practical matters? I believe Matthew 25 beginning at verse 31 gives us a good picture, “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Maybe it is doing the work so we can say, “I will not teach my children to kill your children” and for the world, to one day, live in that peace - a world turned so completely upside down, but it’s a world where George Floyd’s life matters and a world where Eric Holte’s life matters.

Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July holiday Let's begin this time around by wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July weekend. Surprisingly my shoulder has healed enough that the doctors have cleared me to play

by a surety company authorized to do business in this State, conditioned that if the principal bid is accepted and the Contract awarded to him, he/she within ten (10) days after notice of award, will execute and effect a contract in accordance with the terms of his bid and also a contractor’s bond as required by law and the regulations of the Cavalier County Water Resource District. The bidder’s bond shall be enclosed in a separate sealed envelope together with a copy of the license, or certificate of renewal thereof, issued by the Secretary of State to the bidder. The envelope containing the bid shall be designated “Bid for Cypress 3” upon the outside thereof. The bidders bond and a copy of the contractor’s license shall be in a separate envelope attached to the envelope containing the actual bid.

A bidding contractor must be holder of a license qualified for the project for a period of a least ten (10) days prior to the date set for receiving bids, and be eligible to enter into a contract with a governmental agency. No bid will be read or considered which does not fully comply with the above provisions as to bonds

and licenses, and any deficient bid submitted will be resealed and returned to the bidder immediately. If a “Bidder’s Bond” and a copy of the “Contractor’s License” is not enclosed in the separate envelope accompanying the Contractor’s Bid, the Contractor’s Bid will be returned to the contractor unopened. It is necessary to open the Bidder’s Bond envelope to determine sufficiency. The successful bidder will be allowed until December 15th, 2020 to complete the project. The District reserves the right to hold any or all bids, pending determination of acceptance, for a period not to exceed fourteen (14) days from the date of the opening.

bass guitar again. So, I am going to attempt to play with a band from out west for gig at a place called Tobacco Garderns, located about 20 miles from Watford City. It has been quite the challenge to even play guitar again, but it's coming along and shouldn't fall off while I'm playing, hopefully. Big thanks to my guitar playing friend Ted Delfs, who lately has been more like Drill Sargent Delfs, for pushing me to get back on the horse, so to speak (Play it again! Play it AGAIN!!). And thanks the many people far and wide for their support, hopefully this is just the first step in a complete recovery. Langdon Red Sox hope to be part of the opening for a new baseball diamond in Park River Baseball fans in the town of Park River plus baseball fans all over the area are excited to have the opener of what is called the Farmers Union Insurance Field on July 7 when the Pirates host the Langdon Red Sox. While things were still a little up in the air at press time, they hoped the diamond will be playable in time for the game. It's all part of a whole new baseball complex in PR, with a Babe Ruth field and two Little League diamonds to go with it. The main big diamond features an all artificial turf infield, play a huge grandstand and press box. Everyone is hoping it is

good to go on July 7, but time will tell. It's just great to see some good news sports wise in what has been a dismal last couple of months. Baseball has been doing very well in all levels this year for Langdon teams, as the 10U, 12U, Babe Ruth and the Class B Independent league squads are all at or near the top of their respective divisions. There should be lots of good times in the weeks ahead when things turn to the postseason. Langdon Country Club announces dates for two tourneys The Langdon Country Club looks to stay busy as they have announced two more tournaments on their schedule. The Miller Lite Tournament sponsored by Schwaan Wholesale of Devils Lake will be held on July 25. This tourney is now open to men and women aged 21 and over. Their will be sign up sheets for this even in the clubhouse. Also a Glow Ball Tourney will be held at the course on the evening of August 1st, starting at 9 p.m. The Men's City Tournament was held on June 30, and congratulations to Sid Ullyott of Langdon for winning the tourney on what turned out to be a wet day, carding a score of 78. For more information on future events at the Langdon Country Club, call the clubhouse at 701-256-5938. "See ya!" next week!

By Rita Maisel

Happy Fourth of July! With an early deadline for the column and turmoiled rumors swirling around us, is there anything I can write about that might possibly seem politically correct? Newscasts are filled with riots, racism, politics and an apparent never-ending virus. People who see history through a variety of different lenses want to tear down flags, monuments and memorials. What has happened to love, peace, kindness and even common sense? In the words of a man beaten possibly fifty years ago - “Why can’t we just get along?” Of course, I cannot answer those questions or many others we would ask ourselves or our friends today. One of the most memorable celebrations held around the 4th of July in Langdon was the Bicentennial parade with reports that 10,000

Cavalier County Republican

residents, relatives and friends attended. My class from LHS had never held a formal class reunion although a group of us had discussed that possibility in the summer of 1967. That fall our class president was killed in a tragic accident so the topic was not raised again until the 1976 event. To make a long story short, the vice president and secretary took over, and somewhere I have a picture of those attending. It is even possible my dress is still in a closet. Most of the dresses were full length cotton dresses, cool looking, and easy to care for. There would be other events when we wore semi-pioneer clothing. Beard contests were part of the festivities so both locals and guests may have worn beards. The very perky Border Belles and Beaus danced both on the street and on a flat-bed truck during the parade. Some families combined the event with family reunions and weddings. There was an airshow at the airport, the LHS gym was packed with worshippers on Sunday, and the stage filled with a mass choir from all of the local churches. The temperature both indoors and

Langdon Long Ago

outdoors was HOT, and I seem to remember fireworks under the direction of the Jaycees of that era. July 4, 1776, marks the day the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and began the process of forming the United States. There were only 13 states at that time, and legends tell us Betsy Ross made the first flag. When a later Ross family moved to Langdon in the 1880s, they claimed to be descendants and named one of their daughters in Betsy’s honor. That Langdon native went on to become an actress under the name Betsy Ross Clark. Two United States presidents died on July 4th, 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence. One was Thomas Jefferson, and the other one was John Adams. Deaths of presidents were not the events they are today with dignitaries from around the world attending. It is thought to be the only time two presidents shared a death date. In the late 1940s my brother represented the Langdon boy scout troop at a Jamboree held at Valley

Forge. President Truman was a guest speaker for the boys from all 48 states at that time and a special postage stamp was issued that day. Each boy sent a letter home with that particular 3 cent stamp on it--I understand compliments of the US Postal Service. Area stamp collectors also got copies with Ed Franta and Emma Hahn proud of having that item in their collections. In 1963 my brother wanted to make a trip to see relatives near New York, and if I paid the gas and my own expenses, I could ride along. We not only stopped at Valley Forge where motel signs invited you to “sleep on the battlefield tonight” but also toured Gettysburg and a number of other famous sites. Most people reading this will have had similar visits to national cemeteries and war memorials and may share my opinion that they are part of history and should not be desecrated or demolished. On another trip we visited Mount Rushmore and the same comments would apply there. There is a memory of being in Europe years later, and someone there heard I lived in North Dakota so mentioned it was a place he had always wanted to visit – so he could see the presidents carved into the mountain. I did tell him the mountain is not in North Dakota, but it is nearby. Several of my own great-grandparents never set foot in the United States, and most of them who did come here were born in other countries. That those who came as immigrants stayed is proof of their loyalty to our country and am sure if any of them were living today, they might be seriously disturbed by today’s headlines. One of those great-grandfathers was born on July 4, 1830, in Switzerland and served in the Swiss army before coming to this country. He was an early homesteader along the James River near Adrian, ND--a town that, to the best of my knowledge, no longer exists. When he arrived in New York we are told a celebration was going on with lots of fireworks, and he left stories behind that he thought they were celebrating his birthday. Great-grandfather Johann Maisel, related by adoption since my father was adopted as a small child, was born in Bavaria and served his seven years in the German Army before immigrating to Wisconsin with his

wife, one child and various relatives of his wife in the 1850s. When the Civil War began each state raised a militia, and Wisconsin asked for his services since he already had training. He helped to train the recruits in their area, and I was told that without funds for uniforms this group was known as the Black Hat Brigade since all they could afford was hats for their troops. When the unit was called up to serve on the battlefield he mortgaged his land and purchased a substitute. The substitute, whose brothers were pastors years later in North Dakota, was killed and great-grandpa had to take his place. By that time there were five children in the family. He served to the end of the war but had been badly injured and died in the early 1870s. By that time five more children had been added to the family with his wife dying with the birth of the last child. When I did a routine search for his land, I learned the state had awarded him title to the land some years after the war in lieu of the salary he had not been paid. Seven of the children moved west to North Dakota. Another great-grandfather on that side of the family was born in West Prussia and “escaped” service in the Prussian Army by going down the Oder-Niesse River to Stettin where a boatload of horses was leaving for America. He could have free passage if he would tend the horses on the journey. The food and water served to passengers was bad, but the water for the horses was drinkable. At port the horses were unloaded to be used by the cavalry, and a man speaking German offered him a job. The new job was as a member of the Union Army. When the war ended he found work with the railroad stationed near Winona, Minn. As a result of that heritage, the confederate flags were not part of my own family history. They were also not part of Mr. Osmon’s history classes. In college history classes we had professors who required reading the journals of both Union and Confederate leaders plus southern classmates who told us to “save our confederate money – the South will rise again.” Some of those students went on to become civil rights workers – another sad chapter in the history of our nation.
