United Methodist calls Blackburn By Linda Timian Republican Writer
United Methodist Church in Langdon has called Pastor Robert Blackburn to serve as minister to the congregation. His appointment to United Methodist is his first call. ”I have always loved being a part of a church community, and I knew early in my life that God was calling me to ministry,” said Blackburn, “but as many do, I ignored it for years before finally answering the call in 2019.” Black burn is currently enrolled in online classes through Oklahoma Wesleyan University. He is beginning his third year of a four-year bachelor’s degree in ministry and leadership and hopes to continue his education though Sioux Falls Seminary. Recently he was part of a group of eleven candidates of ministry to complete the licensing school to become a local licensed pastor. Blackburn is originally from Sioux Falls, SD, and has lived there all his life with the ex-
ception of two years in the Fargo-Moorhead area. There, he met his wife, Lea, who is from Hope, ND. He and Lea have been married 24 years. The Blackburns have four children: James 21, Jessica 16, Makayla 14, and Tommy 13. James resides in Sioux Falls. Pastor Blackburn is a Minnesota Vikings football fan and enjoys most sports, listening to music, talking, walks with their two dogs, and doing many things with family and friends. He loves sharing God's love with others, being a part of a church communit y, and serving others in Christ’s name. “We are honored to be a part of Langdon UMC and also the entire Langdon community,” said Blackburn. “We have received nothing less than great hospitality, kindness and friendship since arriving and look forward to serving the Langdon community in any way we can. As the Methodist founder John Wesley says, ‘Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.’ ”

After year of turmoil, Gamblers Choice helping address addiction in North Dakota According to a 2017 study from the North Dakota Department of Human Services, 4% of North Dakotans, or approximately 19,000 people, are gambling beyond social or recreational levels. Nationally, the gambling disorder rate typically only affects around 1.5% of the population. After a year of uncertainty, turmoil, and change, Gamblers Choice wants to let the public know they’re still here and available to help. Formerly a program of Lutheran Social Services, Gamblers Choice helps people overcome their gambling addiction by resolving emotional, relationship, and financial issues. “Often making the local news throughout the pandemic were stories about the increases in drug overdoses, rising meth addiction, and the devastating effects of addiction on family members,” says Lisa Vig, program director for Gamblers Choice. “The stories we want to bring awareness to are the hidden stories of gambling addiction.” When people think of gambling addiction, images of blackjack tables and slot machines typically come to mind. Vig says problematic behaviors can exist with any kind of gambling. During the pandemic, they saw increases in sports betting and day trading to try to fill the void of in-person gambling. “Most people haven’t heard the confessions of embezzlement from beloved employers or of theft from their children’s piggy banks late at night,” says Vig. “You haven’t heard about the lingering trauma resulting from the death of two innocent people on a highway after 72 hours
of nonstop gambling. You have no idea what it’s like to hear someone describe the regret they have for not having the guts to drive their vehicle into an oncoming semi-truck after losing yet another paycheck. I have heard these stories and I know these people. They are the fortunate ones because they found someone to tell their story to.” Gamblers Choice counselors work with both the gambler and their family to resolve problems created by gambling addiction. If you are worried that you, or someone you know, may have a gambling addiction, Vig encourages you to reach out to Gamblers Choice. Problem gambling, or gambling addiction, includes all gambling behavior patterns that disrupt, or damage personal, family, or vocational pursuits. Signs of problem gambling include an increased preoccupation with gambling; a need to bet more money more frequently; restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop; and continuation of gambling despite mounting negative consequences. In extreme cases, problem gambling can result in financial ruin, legal problems, loss of career and family, or even suicide. “A lot has changed over this past year. But there is one constant for the people of North Dakota: Gamblers Choice is here to help,” says Vig. Currently, services through Gamblers Choice are available for free. To seek help, call 877-702-QUIT (7848) or visit gamblernd.com to complete a brief three-question screening.

Over the last month the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Office has seen an increase in calls for service. Several of these calls have resulted in criminal charges to multiple individuals. The following are some incidents of significance that have occurred in the last month: *On 06/26/21 deputies of the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Office responded to a street dance in Munich, ND, for a report of a male acting disorderly. A male identified as 33-year-old Ruan Nortje of Langdon, ND, was questioned by deputies as a result of the incident. Ruan Nortje began to engage in fighting behavior against deputies while being questioned. A deputy and Ruan Nortje received minor injuries from the incident. Ruan Nortje was arrested and ultimately charged with Disorderly Conduct - a Class B Misdemeanor, Preventing Arrest - a Class A Misdemeanor, and two counts of Attempt to Commit Simple Assault on a Peace Officer - both Class C Felonies. *On 07/11/21 deputies with the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a suspicious male in the area of the 1000 Block & 2nd Street in Langdon, ND. Deputies made contact with 32-year-old Christopher Storey of Langdon, ND, during the call. Christopher Storey was detained by deputies. Christopher Storey was uncooperative with deputies and began yelling profanities in a public place. Christopher Storey also spit saliva on two Cavalier County deputies during the incident. Christopher Storey was ultimately charged with Disorderly Conduct - a Class B Misdemeanor and two counts of Con-
Supporting local journalism supports this community
The Local Journalism Sustainability Act (LJSA) was recently introduced in the House and has now been introduced in the Senate – and will benefit every member of this community! Unlike many issues in Washington, this legislation has bipartisan support and is focused on delivering benefits to local communities across the U.S. by sustaining local news organizations, including this newspaper. Newspapers are facing significant fiscal challenges due to technological disruption, including Google’s and Facebook’s use of newspapers’ content without compensation. This legislation provides an important, but temporary means of support to help newspapers with needed transition, and it deserves the support of Congressional representatives across the country. The bill incentivizes the behaviors needed to facilitate changes to the business model. Please join your local newspaper in calling on members of Congress to support this legislation. The LJSA has been designed to provide a much-needed boost to newspapers. What it isn’t is a permanent handout for local newspapers. Instead, it’s a well-thought-out approach to help sustain local newsgathering efforts through a series of tax credits that expire in five years.
And it not only will provide aid to newspapers, but also to subscribers and local small businesses through tax credits that will benefit them directly. Newspaper subscribers already understand the importance of their local newspaper and that their continued support is critical. Through this legislation, subscribers will receive a tax credit of up to $250 per year. It’s a win-win for subscribers as this tax credit will cover a significant part of their annual newspaper subscription, no matter if it’s print or digital. For local businesses, there’s a direct benefit from the LJSA, as well. When they use the effective print and digital solutions of their local newspaper, they will be eligible for a tax credit up to $5,000 the first year and $2,500 per year for the next four years. Not only will this credit offset some of their advertising investment, it also will help them improve their business by reaching more customers and generating more sales. It keeps money invested locally and helps maintain jobs and support other local initiatives. For local newspapers, the LJSA provides a much-needed bridge to continue the evolution toward a digitally-based model. The temporary tax credits for newspapers will be tied directly to maintaining healthy newsrooms and employing profes-
sional journalists committed to producing local news and information. The benefits will be local, not redirected to national media organizations, and provide local readers with continued access to the content that’s most important to their lives. However, in order for the LJSA to provide these benefits to subscribers, local businesses and newspapers, it needs the support from members of the House and Senate. And the best way for that to happen is for them to hear directly from their constituents and supporters. To support the future of local newspapers, reach out to your representatives and encourage them to support the Local Journalism Sustainability Act, and – in turn – support the communities they serve. There’s a benefit for everyone. On behalf of its approximately 1,500 newspaper and associate member companies, America’s Newspapers is committed to explaining, defending and advancing the vital role of newspapers in democracy and civil life. We put an emphasis on educating the public on all the ways newspapers contribute to building a community identity and the success of local businesses.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
History lessons in real time Do you like to read newspapers? Most people do despite the advent of digital social media. Newspapers continue to be the most trusted source of information, and all you have to do is go back and look at old issues and you’ll see exactly what I mean. When it’s the here and now, we don’t necessarily think about it. We read the paper: the headlines, the obituaries, the sports, the ads. We most often get our satisfaction from the latest edition, then we put it in the recycle bin. After we finish reading today’s edition, we don’t think about the historical significance that some of these articles, photos, and ads will have in the coming years. But they are significant, and you’ll see what I mean in just a moment. Starting in May 1923, my hometown had a newspaper called the Hazelton Independent. It was a broadsheet weekly and weighed heavy on local ads and content. Fast forward 98 years and most of the businesses and people are gone. Often times we will look at old newspapers to find out when people got married, when they died, who was part of a five-year baseball dynasty, crop prices when they hit rock bottom in 1934 and so on. For me, I was stunned to find an article in a November 1923 edition of the Hazelton Independent that my dad had a brother who died that month from kidney disease. He was 4 years old. I didn’t know my dad had a brother named James. Nobody, I mean not my parents, my uncles and aunts or grandparents passed that information on. So you can imagine my surprise finding that 98 years after the fact. There were also places in my hometown that my parents talked about often. One of them was the Zirbes Theater. It was a typical movie theater, and, of course, in 1923, all movies were silent. A series of ads ran in the Independent about some boxing cards that were happening at the Zirbes. It was an interesting reading. There’s also legal notices that are sometimes passed on to the newspaper from a court of law. OK, somebody got their property foreclosed, they went bankrupt, or somebody died and their estate was up for auction. There was a lot of that kind of stuff in the late ‘20s and early '30s. Another way to look at this is in

reading newspapers from another community. Here at this newspaper, I spend a little time each week looking through editions of the Donnybrook Courier from 1938. I have to tell you, I’ve learned a lot about the community of Donnybrook and its people by reading those 1938 editions. Donnybrook is a small community about halfway between Kenmare and Carpio, and although I’ve lived in Carpio 19 years, I knew little about Donnybrook. That’s no longer the case. At the least, I recognize a lot of names when they are published. Nowadays, weekly newspapers don’t often carry national news unless it’s something of the utmost importance. Back in the day, the small-town weeklies did from a uniquely small-town perspective, which brings me to my favorite edition of the Donnybrook Courier. It was a November 1908 edition, and it was tattered and torn in spots, but a major headline on the front page announced that Howard Taft had won the presidential race and swept North Dakota. You won’t find that kind of commentary in the Fargo Forum or the Bismarck Tribune. And you’ll surely not find it on Facebook. Consider this? Most of us started seeing Internet in 1997. There have been six presidential elections since then, and I would challenge you to find information about any one of those elections, except perhaps the most recent, on social media. You won’t because it’s a flash in the pan. It’s like a radio broadcast. It’s here, and it’s gone. I spent an entire day at the North Dakota State Historical Society going through nine years of Hazelton Independent copies. It was truly fascinating. Another example of historical significance was when I was in college in Bismarck. I was tasked with writing a major report for astronomy class on Halley’s Comet. So, I went to the Historical Society, looked up 1910 editions of the Bismarck Tribune and Fargo Forum and got all the information I needed. Try finding information about Halley’s Comet on social media? Yes, I’ve been in newspapers 40 years, and yes, I’m putting in a plug for newspapers here. What’s important beyond sentiment is the historical value that newspapers present every day and every week. It’s priceless.
Dear Editor: With the acceleration in online shopping and widespread use of contactless cards and mobile payments in stores during the coronavirus pandemic, almost every retail purchase made today is paid for with a credit card or debit card. That’s a change that may be here to stay, but it’s bad news for merchants and consumers alike, especially those still struggling to recover from the economic impact of COVID-19. The reason is that credit card networks and the big banks charge merchants a “swipe” fee averaging about 2 percent of the purchase amount every time a credit card is used, whether it’s swiped, inserted or used via a digital wallet. Those fees add up quickly, totaling almost $100 billion a year. They are among most merchants’ highest cost and drive up prices by hundreds
“Abuse and Circumvention of the Advice and Consent Clause” The framers of the Constitution inserted the Advice and Consent Clause to insure joint decision making between the president and the Senate in the exercise of the treaty making and appointment powers. What happens when the aims, purposes and spirit of that clause are abused or circumvented by either one of the joint decision makers? We focus this week on the ability of presidents to thwart the constitutional blueprint for advice and consent of the Senate. Presidents possess considerable means to abuse and circumvent the Advice and Consent Clause, thus frustrating the aims of the framers’ constitutional design. Consider, for example, the ability of a president to utilize executive agreements and recess appointments to bypass the Senate. A president may circumvent the Senate and its role in the treaty power, and thus the framers’ emphasis on joint or collective decision making, by resorting to the use of executive agreements, which do not require the advice and consent of the Senate. For a variety of political and policy purposes, a chief executive will prefer unilateral or independent authority to the requirement of winning the consent of the Senate, which invites defeat of a treaty proposal. Presidents have been wary of submitting treaties to the Senate—“the graveyard of treaties”—ever since Woodrow Wilson endured the defeat of his beloved proposal for the United States to join the League of Nations at the conclusion of World War I. Presidents of both political parties have turned to executive agreements to avoid the Senate. For example, in 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt struck with Great Britain the famous destroyers-for-bases deal, which provided a critical lifeline to England at a desperate moment in its war with Germany. FDR asserted statutory authority for his action. Richard Nixon utilized an executive agreement in

1973 to negotiate the Vietnam peace agreement. Over the years, the White House has invoked as authority for executive agreements: the president’s claimed authority to represent the nation in the field of foreign relations; the president’s authority to receive ambassadors and foreign ministers; the president’s authority as Commander in Chief; and the president’s duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” There is no precise boundary between executive agreements and treaties. The Supreme Court has upheld executive agreements as valid, particularly when they are grounded in statutory delegation or an existing treaty. Nevertheless, the use of executive agreements gives rise to controversy since they evade the constitutional checks and balances achieved by the Senate’s role, Alexander Hamilton’s observation in Federalist No. 75, that treaties “are omnicompetent” in foreign relations, and the framers determination that the formulation of American foreign policy would reflect, not unilateral presidential power, but the collective wisdom of the president and Congress acting in concert. The appointment power was created to provide a constitutional means for filling an office created by congressional enactment of a statute. Failure to fill an office would render meaningless the purpose of investing Congress with the authority to create offices, and undermine the ability of government to function efficiently. Occasionally, a vacancy in an office may occur while the Senate is in recess, necessitating a presidential power to make “recess appointments.” Thus, Article II, section 2 of the Constitution declares: “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.” Since the presidency of James Madison, most occupants of the White House have interpreted the Recess Appointment Clause broadly, so that they could fill any existing vacancies, including those that first occurred while the Senate was in session. Rather than nominate someone who might be defeated, presidents could wait until the Senate was in recess to make an “appointment.” When Congress returned, the name of the appointee would be submitted to

of dollars a year for the average family. U.S. swipe fees are the highest in the industrialized world, seven times the amount allowed in Europe. They’ve gotten there because of lack of competition – credit card swipe fees for Visa and Mastercard are set centrally by the two giant card networks, and virtually every bank that issues their cards charges the same rates rather than competing to offer lower rates. Legal experts say that’s a violation of antitrust law. Furthermore, transactions on Visa credit cards can only be processed over the Visa network and the same goes for Mastercard and its network. By contrast, debit cards can be processed over a dozen competing networks, which offer better security and lower fees than Visa and Mastercard. Not surprisingly, banks and the card networks want to protect the status quo. They want to continue making

enormous profits on the backs of small businesses and working-class consumers. They love the windfall they’ve seen during the pandemic and are already planning a huge increase in fees next year. It’s time to bring competition to credit card swipe fees. Sincerely, Arch Simonson Simonson Station Stores of North Dakota, Grand Forks Dear Editor: Vaccines—our investment in your health COVID-19 vaccination is an investment in our individual and collective futures. While social distancing, maskwearing and handwashing have helped us in the short term, vaccines offer a long-term solution for a safe return to normal. BCBSND is eliminating the cost barrier BCBSND is helping to ensure members who want it have access to the COVID-19 vaccine. One means of increasing access is by covering vaccination costs. It’s an extension of our commitment to put members’ health and well-being first. Traditionally, there are two types of costs related to immunizations— the cost of the vaccine itself and the professional costs associated with administering the vaccine. In the case of COVID-19, the vaccine itself is being paid for through U.S. taxpayer dollars. The cost of medical staff to administer the vaccine is being absorbed by BCBSND. Therefore, BCBSND members can receive the vaccine with no out-ofpocket cost. A safe return to normal for everyone As we inch closer to business as usual, those in the medical field continue to stress the importance of safely reaching herd immunity. That occurs when most people, about 70-85%, become immune to the virus. The safest way to reach herd immunity is through immunization. While the COVID-19 vaccines are new, the science behind them is not. Decades of revolutionary virology and immunology research led to the viable vaccines before us now. Their quick entry into the marketplace was not a shortcut in research but rather is a direct result of private and public entities working together to expedite the development and delivery of the vaccines. BCBSND encourages vaccination for every North Dakotan, unless you have a medical diagnosis that prohibits you
the Senate for advice and consent, but by that time, the appointee/nominee would have acquired valuable experience in the position, making it more difficult for senators to oppose the nomination. The circumvention of the Senate in this manner is what has given rise to controversy over the years. President Ronald Reagan was clever in gaming the system. He used recess appointments for the purpose of undermining the Legal Services Corporation, a governmental agency created to provide legal assistance to the poor in civil cases. In his first year in office, President Reagan made no appointments to the board of directors of the corporation. In his second year, for the purpose of ensuring that holdovers from Jimmy Carter’s term did not dominate the board, Reagan made seven recess appointments at the end of 1981. Over the next couple of years, Reagan nominated people to the board, but then withdrew their names before the Senate could act on the nominations. With the vacancies intact, Reagan proceeded to fill the openings with recess appointments, a strategy that enabled him to control the agency from 1981 through 1984, even though none of his appointees was ever confirmed by the Senate. Recess appointments of federal judges, including the 15 Supreme Court Justices who have ascended to the High Bench through the recess process, are a matter of special concern since their appointment carries, as Article III of the Constitution provides, tenure during “good behavior,” which can mean, generally speaking, a lifetime appointment. Recess appointments have been upheld by the Supreme Court, but it remains disturbing that recess judges, who will exercise the same weighty authority as those that have been subjected to the advice and consent of the Senate, will not have been vetted or scrutinized by the Senate. The tools and powers available to the president to circumvent the checking and balancing mechanism of advice and consent in matters of treaty making and the appointment power remain a matter of concern and controversy. This is not to say that the Senate—the joint partner in treaty making and appointments—is not without its own devices to frustrate the constitutional design for collective decision making. We turn next week to the ways that the Senate can foil the president’s ambition.
from vaccination. Even if you don’t feel you’re especially at risk, please consider vaccination to protect those not able to receive the immunization. While the vaccine will prevent most from getting sick, ongoing research is needed to determine if the vaccines prevent you from harboring and spreading coronavirus. Experts are continually learning about similarities and differences between natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity. If you have questions about whether you should receive the vaccine, talk to your physician. Even if you already had COVID-19, I recommend you get vaccinated, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends. All North Dakotans are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines. To find the nearest vaccine distribution location near you, go to vaccinefinder.org. Dr. Greg Glasner, Chief Medical Officer at BCBSND Letter to the Editor: Leaving treatment without a plan is like going on a road trip without a map. It is very important to have a set plan before leaving treatment. The plan should be realistic and the recovering person should be able to follow it without getting discouraged. This plan should include both structure and accountability. It should also have goals that are reachable and reasonable. This helps the recovering person feel accomplished and productive. The plan does not have to be filled with things you don’t typically want to do. It should incorporate some fun things as well, so they don’t get burnt out. After a long day of being productive maybe they would like to go to the gym or the beach, that’s completely fine. The quickest way to relapse after treatment is a person having way too much time on their hands. Where getting drunk or high filled this time before they went to treatment. They should now fill this new found time with a solid plan in a structured environment. Following this plan can help eliminate the stress and anxiety that comes up when going back into the real world after completing treatment. This will greatly increase a person’s chances of being successful and remaining clean and sober.

Dry soil may cause building problems The drought not only affects crops and plants. It also may be causing problems for your home and other buildings. “Sticking doors or windows and cracks in walls may be indications that the building is shifting due to soil shrinkage,” says Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University Extension agricultural engineer. As clay or other fine-particle soils dry, they shrink, creating gaps around the basement walls. This space exposes more of the soil to airflow, which increases the amount of moisture removal. A gap along the wall may, through time, allow airflow that will dry the soil under the foundation. The foundation’s support is removed as the soil shrinks, which will cause the building to shift and may stress the concrete enough to cause a crack to form. This also will occur around concrete slabs if the support base is clay or other fine-particle soil that swells and shrinks with changes in moisture content, according to Hellevang. The gap between the soil and basement wall also allows water from rain to run down the wall and may result in water getting into the basement. To minimize these problems, Hellevang recommends maintaining a relatively constant moisture content in the soil around the house or other building. Water the soil evenly and around the entire foundation during extended dry periods. “Do not apply water directly into the gap because this may cause water intrusion into the basement,” he says. “Instead, apply water 1 to 2 feet away from the foundation edge. A soakertype hose permits applying water to the soil without getting it on the house wall. Apply the water slowly, with rest periods of several hours, to permit the water to gradually soak into the soil to a depth of several feet.”
Agriculture
Sometimes people place plastic under rock next to the house as part of landscaping or to minimize water infiltration next to the house. This will prevent you from applying water next to the house. However, water added to the soil even 3 feet from the wall will migrate through the soil profile and wet the soil near the basement wall. The water likely will not migrate enough to close the crack or gap near the surface, but it will wet the soil at greater depths and minimize the potential for soil movement to affect the structure. “Do not fill the crack next to the basement wall with soil,” Hellevang says. “When the soil gets wet, it will expand, pushing on the basement wall, possibly with enough pressure to crack the wall.” When the dry soil increases in moisture content, it will expand. Frequently, the expansion lifts the shifting building and may realign doors and windows. It also may impact the size of cracks in the building. The size of cracks in the basement wall generally can be used to determine if the foundation or basement needs to be repaired by a contractor. Also, look for changes in alignment by sighting along the length of the wall to see if it is straight. Alignment problems are more common with soil expansion but can occur when the wall is not supported laterally due to the soil shrinking away from the basement. “Cracks in the basement wall should be repaired to reduce the potential for water intrusion,” Hellevang says. Because keeping the soil at a relatively constant moisture content is the goal, having a drainage system to remove excess moisture also is important. This includes making sure you have drainage pipe that’s encased in granular material along the footing and a drainage plane along the exterior of the basement wall.
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent The School Year is Near It’s time. I don’t know where the summer has gone, but it’s time to start getting ready for the start of the school year. How did the time pass so quickly?! How am I going to be ready in time?! How are we going to get back on schedule?! I have to admit, this summer has been a bit of a blur and a whole lot of chaos. Schedules are NOT what they should be at our house, and we have been trying to soak up as much summer fun as possible. It could very well be a struggle to get back on track for the school year. With a few tips and tricks, everyone (including my family) can get back to a more manageable schedule that won’t be such a shock to the system. Sleep: The first thing that many child development and family science professionals recommend is getting back to a regular sleep schedule. It is easier to start a few weeks before school starts and slowly ease back into getting to bed at the recommended time for a person’s age. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends preschoolers get 10-13 hours of sleep, 6-12 year olds get 9-12, and teens get 13-18 hours of sleep within a 24-hour period. A family should adjust their schedules accordingly and make bedtime a regularly scheduled time in the home. If your child’s sleep schedule is off by a few hours, start a couple weeks before school starts by implementing bedtime 15 minutes earlier every day or two, and remember to start waking your child up earlier and earlier un-
Prairie Fare: Harvest fresh herbs at add flavor to your recipes
I pulled some weeds from my raised gardens the other day, and I must have accidentally pulled some basil leaves in my quest. The unique scent of basil followed me into my house. My daughter commented about the aroma of basil when I walked by. She likes to gather fresh mint and make hot tea. I like to add mint and basil to ice water to make flavor-infused water. You can buy fresh herbs in many grocery stores and at farmers markets. You may have a friend with prolific culinary herbs who might share some with you. Using freshly harvested herbs in cooking tops the taste of dried herbs in just about every instance. Be a little adventuresome with flavorful herbs. Try preparing a pizza or pasta dish with dried oregano and basil vs. fresh, and you’ll see which imparts the most pronounced flavor and aroma. Make a simple salad of skewered fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Your friends will label you a gourmet chef. Herbs add flavor and negligible, if any, calories and other nutritional value. However, using herbs in cooking can offer some potential health benefits. Many people find they can cut down on the amount of salt and fat in their recipes when they add herbs. Using less sodium and less fat are good moves toward heart-healthy cooking. Before using fresh herbs, be sure to rinse them well under running water. Next, use a pair of scissors to snip the herbs or a sharp knife to chop them into tiny pieces. For optimal flavor, expose as much surface area as possible. For
dried herbs, use a mortar and pestle (available in most kitchen supply stores or catalogs) to grind the herbs into a powder. Here’s a rule to remember: Don’t overdo herbs in a dish. Use herbs for variety and accent only. Usually one strongly flavored herb alone or paired with one or two more mildly flavored herbs is a better bet. In recipes calling for dried herbs, substitute a larger amount of fresh herbs. No two herbs are exactly alike, so generalizing is difficult; however, the usual comparison is 2 teaspoons of fresh herbs equals three-fourths teaspoon of dried herbs equals onefourth teaspoon of powdered herbs. Herbs also can be categorized by strength. Strongly flavored herbs include bay, rosemary and sage. About 1 teaspoon per six servings will suffice. Moderately flavored herbs include basil, dill, mint, marjoram and oregano. Use about 2 teaspoons for every six servings. Mildly flavored herbs include chives and parsley. These combine well with other herbs and can be used generously. With the amount of fresh herbs I have, drying or freezing herbs probably is among my future summer endeavors. You can air-dry, oven or dehydrator dry, microwave dry or freeze. To air-dry, tie the leaves together with string and hang upside down in a well-ventilated, dark place such as a cool basement. In general, pick plants at their peak, rinse and pat dry. To dehydrator dry, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Microwave drying usually involves placing bunches of rinsed leaves between microwave-safe paper towels. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, then cool. The leaves should crumble easily when dry. Store the dried herbs in labeled, air-tight containers such as glass jars. For best flavor, use dried herbs with-

NDSU Extension Notes
til they are waking at the time they would need to during the school year. Ease into a routine: Even though a schedule and routine are not as easy or fun during the summer months, it’s important to get back to one by the time school starts. Wake up and start the morning routine, eat at the scheduled times, and make sure that electronics are turned off most of the day. If reading has been something that has not been done as much as during the school year, it may be a good idea to do some refreshers with reading, writing, and math. It’s easy to make that part of the daily routine. Start planning: There are several things that go into planning for a school year. Kids grow a lot over the summer and often need new clothes and shoes. Supplies for school change as the years change, and new supplies may need to be purchased. Backpacks may need to be replaced. Snacks may need to be planned and purchased. To help alleviate the stress of the planning, it’s easiest to start early, organize before the first day of school, and have everything prepared so that it’s not a last-minute rush to get things done. To help with your planning, some easy snack ideas like the following can be found on our NDSU Extension website. The following Easy Bean Dip recipe is a quick, nutritious snack for after school that the kids might enjoy. It can be found on the “Now Serving: Nutritious After-school Snacks!” publication (FN1379) at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/publications/foodnutrition/now-serving-nutritiousafter-school-snacks.

dium. Attend a back-to-school night or contact the teacher: Some, if not most, schools have a back-to-school night when possible. Be sure to attend with your child so they have an idea of where to go, what to do, and how to do it. Talk to them about what they are excited about and help them deal with feelings if they have any fears, anxieties, or disappointments. If your child is on a 504 or IEP plan, feel free to reach out to their new teacher to establish a relationship as early as possible and discuss needs and worries. Practice drop off and pick up: Whether your child is younger or older, drive, walk, or bike the route that they will be taking to school. Prepare them for bus rides and what is expected of them on the bus. Help them find the door they will be going in every day and the door they will leave from after school. Practice the route several times if they are younger so that they will know what route to take and how to do it. Be watchful and encouraging: Even if you don’t have a child that is getting ready for school, there are preparations that we can take as community members to help the kids ease into the school year. Please be aware that kids will be out and about more in the mornings and after school starting the first day. Be careful of children crossing the streets and being more active during those times. Watch out for neighbor children so they can make it home safely. Encourage children you know by asking, “What was your favorite part of the school day today?” If you would like more information on back-to-school help or recipes to use for after school snacks, feel free to visit our website at https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension. There are several recipes and tips that could be helpful to you during this time, but you can also call our office at 256-2560, stop in and visit with us, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Father Michael Hickin of St. Aphonsus Catholic Church
The Deep “Damn him!” This is how Ally feels. Jackson Maine, her new boyfriend and country rock singer, is coaxing her out on stage. It’s her song; she wrote it. He came up with an arrangement and is about to work it into a concert where she showed up as a guest backstage. Face in her hands, she’s heaving something like, “No way! Why’s he doing this to me?” Totally different scenario, similar emotions. My backstage is St. Alphonsus Parish, nice vantage point for taking in the world…, until a disrupting call asks me to be chaplain for a dozen backpackers in Glacier N.P. Am I ready for no shower and sleeping on the ground after hiking 7-8 miles a day? I am not. As I write this, I’m wearing a back brace from a slipped disc the afternoon of my niece’s wedding, and it’s two days before I leave for Montana. As you read this, I’m somewhere in the Northern Rockies getting over all my fears. What are you afraid of? God being God, we’re always being drawn deeper into relationship. People being people, better the devil you know than the one you don’t. We resist change. I’ve developed coping mechanisms for my current mediocrity. Do I really want to be challenged and devise new strategies to protect my grip on life? This is the second of five articles on prayer. Seeking companionship in fear is a big motivator—as they say, no atheists in foxholes. Ally (played by Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born, 2018), finally joins
Jack (Bradley Cooper) on stage and belts out: I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in / I’ll never meet the ground / Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us / We’re far from the shallow now. Why be like the bedraggled pilgrims who followed Moses wishing at every turn to go back to a more manageable slavery? Let’s let go. Take the risk of freely going deeper with God. It’s tempting to back out of Glacier, no matter how many people tell me I’ll ‘have fun’, but the Lord’s way consistently draws us out of comfort zones. In 1991-92, I spent nine months in a hermitage in the Alps. Landline calls were rare and pricey. My folks asked, “Mike, what are you doing there?” I took the question to Fr. Emmanuel, who said, “Tell them I’m throwing you into God.” After his death, some disciples found a letter in which he wrote about life in the mountains: “it’s an unconditional choice to surrender to God’s guidance, entirely wrapped in Mystery, which is not a path toward any precise goal but a simple grit full of love, following Jesus day by day, step by step, without even asking where he’s going.” This Wisdom brought me to North Dakota. “Fear not!” It’s the most commonly repeated phrase in the Bible (over 100 times in the Old Testament and 44 in the New). Consider what you’re afraid of. If you can name it, you can tame it. Hand over your fears and dive into life. Your Companion is no shallow God.

ND Matters: Town’s dawg caught in ethnic fight By Lloyd Omdahl “I got bad news!” exclaimed Madeleine as she rushed through the door of the community hall where 11 of the town’s electors were gathered for the annual midsummer garden report. Chairperson had just called the meeting to order and Holger Danske was standing, ready to give the outlook on carrots for the year. It was really dry so everybody already knew the carrot crop was going to be a fraction of last year’s bumper yield. “Okay, Madeleine. Sit down Holger for Madeleine’s hot flash,” Ork instructed. “Old Sievert isn’t here because he’s positive,” she reported. “That’s news,” Josh Dvorchak affirmed. “He’s usually negative.” “No, he’s got one of those new variations of COVID,” Madeleine added. “You’re positive,” Einar Torvald doubted. “No, I said Old Sievert was positive,” Madeleine clarified. “If he’s positive the rest of us must be negative. Everybody has to be one or the other,” Dorsey Crank speculated. “Well, these new variations are really dangerous…could even take somebody who’s been vaccinated,” Chief Security Officer Garvey Erfald cautioned. “If Old Sievert is taken, that means that we would have 11 voters to decide on the name of town Dawg about which we have been tied six to six in seven votes,” prognosticated Orville Jordan, the retired Soo Line depot agent who stayed in town because he didn’t

want to move Heather’s grand piano. “Who wants to get into another divisive fight over naming Dawg?” queried Garvey “We are so polarized that we couldn’t share gardens this year. Everybody is going to eat their own stuff.” “Well, I got a compromise proposal for Dawg,” offered Dorsey. “I move we name him ‘Oofta’ so he can have an ethnic heritage of sorts.” “You can’t name him something Norwegian like ‘Oofta’,” objected Orville. “He’s a German Shepherd.” “If he’s German, he probably wouldn’t know what ‘Oofta’ meant,” Little Jimmy guessed. “Only if he was bilingual,” Gerda Danske offered. (Jimmy’s folks were still in the Klondike gold rush so he was fending for himself even though he was only 17, the only person in town not on Social Security.) “Yeah!” exclaimed Josh. “We could call ‘Oofta’ ‘Oofta’ all night and he wouldn’t come if he’s German.” “We don’t know that he’s really German. He got no papers,” worried Einar. “He got dropped off with nothing, not even a green card,” Little Jimmy chuckled. It was supposed to be a joke but most of the electors didn’t know about green cards so they didn’t laugh. “For all we know, Dawg could be a Norwegian Elkhound in which case ‘Oofta’ would be his native language,” Holger speculated. “Maybe he’s a mix of everything,” Gerda spoke up for a second time in one meeting.

meetings but Madeleine had been telling them that the First Amendment applied to women as well as men. That’s why the men were trying to deport her back to Montana.) “If he was part German and part Norwegian, he would have died long ago,” Einar figured. “Enough of that kind of talk,” Madeleine scolded. ‘We can carry this ethnic stuff only so far because we are all mixed Americans now and so are German dogs and Norwegian dogs. We have to live together.” “Well, I think we should name Dawg ‘COVID’ because that takes care of all nationalities,” negotiated Orville. Just then Old Sievert burst through the door and cast a suspicious look at the seated electors. “What’s going on here?” he said accusatorily. “I don’t know why we have these meetings when nothing ever gets done.” “Sit down before you fall down,” Madeleine ordered. “You are negative even when you are positive.” “The ‘Oofta’ motion dies for lack of a second and the meeting is adjourned,” announced Chairperson Dorken as he rapped his Coke bottle. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

Something sort of... for lack of a better term... wonderful happened yesterday. Mike was attacked by the un-named rooster! Now some of you reading this may think “Wonderful that your loving, handsome, and super strong husband was attacked? That’s crazy! What kind of a human being are you, Heather?” I will tell you why this brought me joy... For what can only be likened to the War of 1812 (side note I mostly picked this war because I really enjoy the unique and clever name)... I have been battling un-named rooster for what seems like eternity... even though I don’t think he’s even a year old... Anyways, all this time Mike has doubted me about how evil this particular rooster is. He even goes as far as to pick the monstrous animal up! So yes, when he told me he was finally attacked- I celebrated. He knew I would as before he told me

his story, he prefaced it with “I have a story that will make you happy...” Boy, was he right! So apparently this is how it all went down... Mike had filled the chicken water and was attempting to exit the pen when all of a sudden he felt a sharp stabbing pain to his calf. As he turned around, he saw the enemy. It was none other than un-named rooster! Mike ever so gently shoved the rooster back with his size 12 feet. Then what came next made me almost jump for joy... the rooster flapped his wings and pushed out his giant feathered chest. Mike, not to be out done no doubt, did the same thing back to him. I can’t prove that Mike actually did it back, but I can only assume with males that this type of showmanship would most likely take place. As Mike flapped his arms, un-named rooster made his move. However, unfortunately for the rooster, Mike was much quicker with a swift boot to the chest. Un-named rooster backed down much like the devil did when he lost the fiddle battle with Johnny. I am glad that Mike now knows what I go through on a daily basis, but part of me hurts for un-named rooster. I mean this all took place in front of his ladies, and I can’t imagine they were very impressed with his performance. No doubt he will try to take it out on me the next time in order to gain his “rooster hood” again!

Post 98 Red Sox make deep run at State B American Legion Tourney, finish 3rd; end great year with 26-4 record By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon Post 98 Red Sox baseball team competed in the 2021 State B American Legion Baseball Tournament held in Oakes July 29 Aug. 1. All told, the Sox played five games in the tourney, winning three and losing two. They finished third and ended with a record of 26-4 on the season. Jackson Delvo, Brennan Kitchin and Peyton Ullyott ended their Legion baseball careers at the tournament, and Grant and Simon Romfo also finished their careers playing half a season before heading to college football commitments at NDSU and UND. LaMoure ended up winning the 2021 State B title, beating Oakes 8-1 in the championship game. Here is a recap of the Red Sox games at the State B: Langdon 3, Garrison 1 In their first game of the tourney, Tucker Welsh was the surprise starter on the mound for Langdon, as he did not throw at all in the District 5 tournament. Welsh did not show any rust, as he struck out five of the first six batters he faced to get the win. Trailing 1-0 in the fourth inning, Jack Romfo came up and smacked his first career home run - a long, deep drive to left field - to give his team a 2-1 lead. The Red Sox got their third run in the sixth inning when Cooper Zimmer was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring home Jackson Delvo, who had doubled earlier in the game. Markus Kingzett came on to pitch the seventh inning and retired Garrison in order to record a save.

The Sox got on the board first when Tucker Welsh drove a triple to the fence in right field to score Jackson Delvo, who earlier singled. LaMoure built a 4-1 lead in the sixth when Brady Regner hit a bases-loaded single to score Delvo and Welsh. After Post 19 picked up an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth, the Red Sox had one last rally that came up just short. Markus Kingzett opened the frame with a
double followed by a single from Carter Tetrault. Kingzett scored on a grounder to first by Jack Romfo, but Langdon would end up one run short. Cooper Zimmer took the loss on the hill for Langdon allowing all five runs, while Jack Romfo came on to pitch in the sixth inning.

Brennan Kitchin hit a double in the second frame to bring home Cooper Zimmer, then Brady Regner singled home Tucker Welsh in the third. The Red Sox trailed 3-2 going into the bottom of the sixth inning when Welsh brought in the tying and goahead runs on a double to score both Carter Tetrault and Jackson Delvo. On the mound Gage Goodman would start the game and get the win, scattering nine hits over six innings. Markus Kingzett threw a scoreless seventh inning to notch his second save of the tourney. Regner and Mason Romfo each had two hits in the win.

Carter Tetrault and Tucker Welsh each had RBIs, while Jack Romfo hit a two-run single all in the second inning. Then Brady Regner, Gage Goodman and Mason Romfo each brought in runs in the top of the fourth inning, which was followed by a two-run hit by Tetrault to turn
the game into a runaway. Langdon coach Tanner Groth was running out of options on the mound, so he gave the start to Jackson Delvo, who had pitched just three innings all season. Delvo rewarded his coach with a complete game effort, throwing 90 pitches and allowing just five hits and one earned runwhile not recording a strikeout to get the win. Delvo also hit a two bagger at the plate, which was Langdon's only extra base hit. Mason Romfo had three hits in the game, while Tetrault and Welsh each had two.

The Red Sox would score first in the top of the second inning, as Mason Romfo doubled to bring home Brady Regner. After Oakes tied the game, Langdon went ahead by a run again in the fourth, when Tucker Welsh scored on a passed ball. After Oakes would tie it up again in the bottom of the fourth, the Red Sox went up by a run again in the fifth on an RBI single by Jack Romfo to score Markus Kingzett. Oakes would tie things up at three, and extra innings would decide the winner. Oakes would turn critical double plays in the sixth and eighth innings to end the Red Sox rallies, then they would win the game on a single by Garret Meehl with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. Carter Tetrault started the game on the mound for Langdon and pitched into the eighth inning before being relieved by Jack Romfo. Conor Schall got the win for Oakes in relief.

Department of Environmental Quality urges North Dakotans to monitor air quality and take protective measures during smoky conditions The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality advises the public to take precautions due to unhealthy levels of wildfire smoke circulating throughout the state. This smoke is being carried by current wind and weather patterns. The air quality index in our state has generally been ranging from moderate (yellow) to unhealthy (red). In general, we advise everyone to use common sense and avoid prolonged exposure outdoors. Elderly persons, children, and individuals with heart or lung disease are particu-
larly susceptible to ash particles and should take extra precautions to avoid exposure. Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a dry scratchy throat, and irritated sinuses. Elevated particulate matter in the air can trigger wheezing in those who suffer from respiratory conditions, such as asthma or emphysema/COPD. If you see or smell smoke, protect your health by avoiding exposure: • If possible, stay inside with windows and doors closed until smoke levels subside. • Reduce outside physical activity.
• Set air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate to prevent outside air from moving inside. What you should do depends on the air quality index and your personal health status. Due to the active wildfires and changing wind patterns, air quality can be variable and unpredictable. Air quality may improve at times or get worse very quickly. We strongly recommend checking the latest air quality data for your area by searching your location at AirNow.gov. The air quality index color indicators are:
Greetings, from Williston, ND! We come to you this week as one sweaty mess from Williston, where I am doing the never-ending task of cleaning up my dad's ranch. Finding all kinds of treasures out here. I had forgotten my dad once ran for Williams County Commissioner (found a "Vote for Keith Kulland" card) and also found tickets for a 1990 Buffalo Hunt. There is so much "stuff" out here; I find something new almost daily. 140 World War II legit army helmets with liners? Yep, I found them (they even have names on the front!) in one of the million storage sheds out here. It may sound like I'm complaining but be sure that I am not. It's actually very interesting to basically go through the history of my dad's life while I rummage through and get things back in shape out here. There have been many other things found that I probably shouldn't mention, I'll just let you use your imagination. So, now you know where I am this week, but there are many things sports-wise to get us all caught up on, so let's do it! Cardinals football begins defense of their three-time Class A title Well, it is August, so that means we think of back to school and, of course, fall sports. This year North Dakota Class B schools will have
four fall sports -- football, volleyball, cross country as usual, and this year - girls golf, which will be played in the fall rather than the spring. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich football began practice on Aug. 5 as did all of North Dakota 9-Man and Class B 11-Man (which it is now called) teams. The Cards first game is already less than two weeks away- at home versus Lisbon. Every Cardinals fan is wondering what this year's team will be about with the likes of the Romfo twins, Cooper Zimmer and Alex Cluchie all lost to graduation. I think the phrase "We got next" is something they can rally behind. Trust me, this year's squad has a ton of talent and will win its share of games. It should be another fun year to watch. Josh Krivarchka is back as head coach for this year's team. Cross Country begins Aug. 9 Area cross country teams will also begin practice on Aug. 9. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals team is coached this year once again by Todd Hetler and Kiara Bassingthwaite, and they will have their first practice Aug. 9 at 4:00 p.m. with their first meet in Jamestown on Aug. 21. The Cards will host the Harvey Hope Invitational on Sept. 20 at the Langdon Country Club. Girls Golf started practice Aug. 2, and volleyball does not start practice until Aug. 16, so we will talk more about that next time we visit. "See ya!" next week!
Trail opportunities expanding across ND The North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department (NDPRD) announces seven trail projects across North Dakota that have received grant funding from the Recreation Trails Program (RTP). NDPRD received 18 applications totaling approximately $3,098,400 in grant fund requests during the last grant round. The projects selected for funding are: 1. Maah Daah Hey Trail Association – Buffalo Gap Trail Restoration 2022 2. Barnes County Park Board – Sheyenne Water Trail 3. Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation – Pancratz Trail System 4. Maah Daah Hey Trail Association – Coal Creek Restoration 2022 5. North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department – Trail Maintenance Equipment 6. Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa – Turtle Mountain OHV Trail Upgrades 7. North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department – Snowmobile Equipment (Project Alternate) “The Recreation Trails Program is a great opportunity to create, maintain and update recreational offerings across the state,” stated Andrea Travnicek, North Dakota Parks & Recreation Director. “Programs such as this provide communities with the resources to enhance their citizen’s
access to activities that improve quality of life.” The Recreational Trails Program is an 80/20 matching grant program that provides funding for both motorized and non-motorized recreational trail projects. Examples of eligible projects include construction of new recreation trails, restoration of existing trails, development and rehabilitation of trailside and trailhead facilities and trail linkages, purchase and lease of recreational trail construction and maintenance equipment, land acquisition/easements, and trail accessibility assessment. The RTP is administered at the state level through the NDPRD, and federally through the Federal Highway Administration. Projects are evaluated and ranked by the Recreation Trails Program Advisory Committee, whose purpose is to assist in ranking projects seeking federal trail funds. For further information, please visit our website at https://www. parkrec.nd.gov/business/grants/ recreational-trails-program or contact Char Langehaug, Grants Coordinator at 701-328-5357. The mission of the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is to offer a diversity of recreation opportunities and sustainably manage resources.

Olympic Memories Before the 1960s there are vague memories of seeing Olympic medalists in newsreels at theaters or on the covers of possibly Life magazine. Radio and newspapers told us about some of the outstanding athletes of that day, and their pictures might be featured on breakfast food boxes. Then in 1962 I remember watching a film on television of a runner from Ethiopia competing in the Olympic marathon of 1960 running barefoot down a major street in Rome and capturing a gold medal. He had been running on the hills or mountains of Ethiopia since childhood and was the start of Ethiopian runners in international competition. That year we also saw what might have been an early Wide World of Sports film of an American female runner named Wilma Rudolph who became one of the first to break the color barriers in American contests and went on to dominate the sport for years to come. From that point on, I remember being entertained year after year by gymnasts, ice skaters, divers, runners of the famed 100-meter race, and so on. Obviously, most reading have similar memories of watching Yugoslavia (no longer a nation) beating Russia in basketball

at 2 a.m. or a long line of gymnasts on rings, beam, horse, parallel bars, and floor exercises. With that background I was not surprised to come home yesterday and find a phone call from the Bismarck Tribune asking about Ethel Catherwood. Hannah residents are now fewer in number, but many local people know Ethel as the little girl born at Hannah, ND, whose family moved to Saskatchewan when she was a baby. Ethel’s father had his children out competing in the backyard, and at a very young age she seemed to have a talent for jumping. She could outrun and out jump many of her competitors in school contests, a fact that brought her to the notice of the Canadian Olympic officials. Canada was setting out to send its first women’s team to the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam over protests from many politicians and even the Pope who felt women should not be competing in sports. By that time, Ethel was a beautiful girl who photographers fancied and became known as the Saskatoon Lily. Hounded by fans and paparazzi she grew to dislike, she became the first woman from Canada to win an individual gold medal in the Olympic high jump contest. In the 1932 games, Babe Didrickson won that competition, and Ethel, who had never become a Canadian citizen, moved back to the United States where she spent the rest of her life as far from the spotlight as possible according
Langdon Long Ago
to her biographical sketches. Diemert History A recent visitor to the Cavalier County Library pulled a very thick book off the shelf in the North Dakota Room and asked me what I knew about it. Not having seen the book before, I was stumped but went back a few days later and soon realized it would be a book that would be of interest to many local families if they have not already obtained a copy. The book is titled “The Michel Diemert Family Tree” and begins in 1673 with the birth of the oldest known ancestor who lived in Bas-Rhin Department of Elsass, also known as Elsaze, Germany or France depending on who owned that portion of AlsaceLorraine at the time. Compiled by Richard E. Diemert in 2018, the book takes some branches of the Diemert family from 1873 to the present day in almost 1200 pages and has bits of eleven different generations. Surprised at finding such a wealth of information on one family, I checked the shelf of local centennial books and did not find a single Diemert story in any of them! How they were missed by the Langdon, Wales, and Mt. Carmel centennial groups is a mystery. The first pages of the book go back centuries and list the family during much of that time as living at Dettweiler, a town with several spellings depending on where the borders between Germany, France and Switzerland were located at
that point in time, and the boundaries changed often. My own Kaercher ancestor had come from what maps show to be a place called Dudweiler in the same area. Could it be the same community? Then the narrative shifted to their journey on a ship called the Challenger leaving from Le Harve in France and arriving in New York September 22, 1831. The story tells of more than forty trips this ship made between 1820 and 1850 bringing settlers from Elsass/Elsaze/AlsaceLorraine to America. My ancestors had arrived from Dedweiler earlier in the same year and had somehow made their way to Preston, Ontario, so it is quite possible they had come on the same ship on an earlier trip. The Diemerts (five families are mentioned) had left the ship and made their way to Waterloo County and, in fact, to a township in that county that you could see from Preston. Later both our relatives and the Diemerts had lived in Wilmot Township, and when land opened in the Huron Tract to the west in the early 1850s, my relatives settled in Hay Township. The Diemerts and others they married along the way settled in Carrick and Culross townships in next door Bruce County. Believe it or not, the next generations of both groups found their way to Cavalier County in the 1880s and into the next century. Not every branch of every family is listed in this book, but if you know you have roots in Mildmay or Formosa or ancestors once lived in Carrick Township, you might find relatives in this book which is printed in World Family Tree for-
mat so a bit difficult to sort through the first time you try. All the many descendants of Michael Fischer are not listed nor are all the Schneiders and Koehmstedts, but enough of the Mt. Carmel and Wales family names appear that it is worth the effort to check them out. If the name is in bold print and has a + mark by the number, their children will be listed later in the book and so may grandchildren and others. Names to look for would include Fischer, Hill, Hell, Hoffarth, Ault, Messner, Klein, Bergman, Stoesser. Wagner, Beisinger (in our family it was spelled Baisiger), Kuneman, Moyer or Meyer, Schill, Schwartz, Lehman, Metzger and probably others. Places the people listed settling when later generations moved on were in most of the western provinces of Canada, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and California along with a few branches in New York, New Orleans, St. Louis and elsewhere. One of the earliest Diemerts was a stonemason and so was Sol Diemenrt, remembered as laying the cornerstone for the building of St. Alphonsus Church in 1903. A book put out by the local KC group pictures this event and people pointing it out to me tried to find him, but the only person mentioned as being on the picture is hidden by the full skirts of the ladies watching him work. Building or construction plus farming appear to have been favorite occupations down through the years no matter where they lived. The book lists one of its contributors as still farming the original land in Carrick Township.
