Now that school has been in session for a few weeks, we checked in to see how everything is going. The students are excited to be back in the building with their classmates, friends, and the staff. The teachers and all the staff have worked hard - above and beyond - to welcome the students back to classes. That’s the “same” part. The “different” is, of course, obvious. Safety measures were put in place to provide safe and protective in-person education. “Overall the state guidelines were broad and allowed for us to really develop plans that were the most beneficial to our district and students,” Langdon Area High School Principal Ethen Askvig said. “Our local education cooperative, Northeast Education Services Cooperative (NESC), and other professional organizations in the state really helped with templates, plan development, and ideas. These helped our local staff members, teachers, board members, parents, county health and community members that were part of our Return to School Committees develop the district's plan. Teacher and staff input was vi-
tal in putting together the new safety measures in the district’s plan, and I have no doubt all of our staff will continue to grow more comfortable and collaborate to make this year the best we can.” Askvig is pleased with the start of the school year. They have found areas that need improvement but believe they are moving in the right direction. He said that day to day,
work of the Return to School Committees, and the continual education on the rationale behind the safety measures. “The new normal is something [the students] have shown to be willing to accept in order to keep each other safe and have the in-person education,” said Askvig. They have had hiccups along the way. New issues arise each day that require adjustments
they are getting into a good routine, and with the enormous amount of changes, the staff and students have really stepped up and had an excellent attitude. The students have been adapting to the new measures well. Askvig credits the positive attitude of the staff, the hard
to the plan and the way they function. Everything from lunch schedules to student movement and technology have been adjusted. At the time of this writing, there were not any classes quarantined in the high school or middle school. In the event of a quarantine there would be
Kraig Gellner helps Fishing with Vets event Kraig Gellner spent a few days fishing with two veterans from Rochester, Minn., as part of a 'Fishing with Vets' event held at Devils Lake August 20-22. Gellner was contacted by Scott Van Overbeke from Marshall, Minn., a friend he met many years ago at a fishing tournament. Van Overbeke had been helping 'Fishing with Vets' for a number of years. They were looking for
at least 2 veterans out fishing. Every guide that brings their boat and gear is all volunteer. “Some of the veterans have service dogs,” shared Gellner. “Accommodations are made if they have disabilities." 'Fishing with Vets' is a nonprofit organization that provides active and retired veterans with the opportunity to fish some of the best Midwest fish-
to take him fishing in the spring at Devils Lake. 'Fishing with Vets' evolved out of a discussion on Facebook. In 2014 a veteran was having trouble with his ice fishing gear. It was worn out from the harsh Minnesota winters. Within a few days, a group of people rounded up some ice fishing gear and sent it to him so that he could get back
another guide and wondered if he would like to help out with the event at Devils Lake. Gellner agreed, and so on Thursday, August 20, he brought his boat, tackle, rods and reels and met the group at the lake. They fished Friday and Saturday. There were 15 veterans in all, plus guests and guides. Veterans can bring a “plus one” as their guest. With COVID, they are asked that it be an adult member of their household. Every guide takes
ing destinations. Besides Devils Lake, they did events at Lake of the Woods, Red Lake, Cass Lake, and Mille Lacs. The veterans are paired up with some of the best guides in the Midwest. Their motto is 'To those who served | To those still serving.' The goal is to create lifelong memories and friendships for our veterans. One of the veterans Gellner fished with asked for his phone number because he wanted to come back and asked if Gellner would be able
on the ice to fish. This helpful group of people realized that they wanted to continue to do something for our veteran community. By the end of the year 'Fishing with Vets' was created, incorporated, had a Facebook page, and applied for non-profit status. At first 'Fishing with Vets' started by connecting a veteran with anyone out fishing that would provide the opportunity. Soon professional guides

the initial contacting of those affected, cleaning, and moving those affected to all online learning. There are a small number of students that have chosen to do online learning this year, and the school has developed the technology platform to accomplish that, but a change to an entire class will affect teacher plans and opportunities for students. “I have no doubt our students and staff will be able to adjust, but until you are put into it fully, you can’t predict all of the needs with our new plans,” Askvig shared. “A large thank you needs to go out to our students, staff, county health department and the community as a whole. We have seen so many individuals put in extra hours, brainstorm ways to solve the difficult problems and work to allow us to have in-person education. Without the many extra hours put in by the teachers and additional staff members we would not have had the initial success that we have seen.” Langdon Area Elementary School Principal Todd Hetler echoed those thoughts, “The teachers have been amazing.

By Leon Hiltner County Veterans Service Officer Eligibility Criteria for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Are Changing The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is making changes to improve and expand the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC), including changes to the eligibility criteria. These changes are described in VA’s Final Rule – Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Improvements and Amendments Under the VA MISSION Act of 2018. Federal Register. The Final Rule is scheduled to take effect October 1, 2020. No immediate action is required if you want to stay in the Caregiver Program You and your family caregiver(s) were approved and designated by VA as eligible for PCAFC before October 1, 2020. Therefore, you are considered a “Legacy Participant.” This means you do not need to complete a new application and will automatically have continued eligibility for PCAFC for one year beginning on October 1, 2020. Reassessments for Legacy Participants Between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021, if you wish to stay in PCAFC, an appointment will be scheduled to reassess your continued eligibility and care needs. This reassessment will be based on the new eligibility criteria set forth in the Final Rule. No matter when your reassessment occurs within that year, you maintain your automatic eligibility for one year – through September 30, 2021. Your assessment will be conducted by staff from your local VA medical center, and this may include a visit to your home. Your safety is our utmost priority, and during the COVID-19 National Emergency, we may complete visits through video conference or other available telehealth modalities. Once your assessment is completed, a Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team will review and
Monday, September 14, 2020 – Page 3
make a determination regarding your eligibility beyond September 30, 2021. You will be notified of the eligibility determination results in writing. Caregiver Support Program Staff will contact you to participate in the required reassessment for the program. In the meantime, please contact your local Caregiver Support Program Staff if you have questions or if there is anything you would like to discuss. What do the changes in the Final Rule mean for me as a Legacy Participant? There are several ways these changes may impact you. • We are changing the way monthly stipend payments are calculated in order to make the program more consistent. This is anticipated to result in a stipend increase for many and a decrease for some. Under the Final Rule, stipend rates will be calculated differently. For many Primary Family Caregivers of Legacy Participants, these changes will result in an increase in the stipend payment amount. For those who may receive a decrease in the monthly payment as a result of these changes, the Final Rule establishes a one-year transition period. No decrease will occur before October 1, 2021, unless: 1) you relocate to a new address, at which point the stipend would be calculated by the new methodology; 2) you are discharged or revoked from the program. • Stipend payments may also change depending on the results of the reassessment. For Legacy Participants who meet the new eligibility requirements, the reassessment will also determine the Level of Care you need. A higher Level of Care need will be supported by a higher stipend amount. If your determination results in an increased stipend payment, the increase will go into effect as of the date of the reassessment. The Primary Family Caregiver will receive a retroactive payment backdate to October 1, 2020 to account for the increase. If your determination results in a decrease in stipend amount, VA will provide advanced notice of its decision on October 1, 2021, and the de-

cease will take effect no earlier than December 1, 2021. For Legacy Participants who do not meet the new PCAFC eligibility criteria (and who are not discharged or revoked on another basis), VA will provide advanced notice of its decision by October 1, 2021. Participants will stop receiving payments no earlier than December 1, 2021. In addition, the Family Caregiver will receive 90 days of extended benefits following the date of discharge. VHA Office of Community Care Seasonal Flu Shots Q1. Can I get my seasonal flu shot at my local Walgreens pharmacy? A1. The availability of the Walgreens Retail Immunization Care Coordination Program partnership with VA ended in March 2020. Veterans can now receive their flu vaccination through a more robust community care program at more than 60,000 in-network locations. There are Walgreens pharmacies that may be part of the Community Care Network (CCN) as an in-network retail pharmacy. Q2. What is the Community Care Network? A2. VA’s Community Care Network (CCN) is comprised of six regional networks that cover U.S. states and territories. One of the components is in-network retail pharmacy or urgent care locations in communities. Eligible Veterans can receive no-cost seasonal flu shots at these locations. Q3. How do I know if I am eligible to receive a flu shot through a retail pharmacy or urgent care location in my community? A3. Retail pharmacies: Veterans must be enrolled in the VA health care system. Urgent care locations: Veterans must be enrolled in the VA health care system and have received care from a VA or in-network community provider in the past 24 months To check eligibility, contact your local VA medical facility OR call 844-MyVA311 (844-698-2311), select option 1, and then select option 1 again.
Q6. Will I have to pay a copayment for the flu shot? A6. Eligible Veterans whose visits to an in-network retail pharmacy or urgent locations that consists of only a flu shot do not incur a copayment.

ND Parks and Recreation rolls out new volunteer program A new, expanded volunteer program through the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department now offers individuals and groups the opportunity to volunteer their time and talents to impact our state parks. Whether you’re interested in helping with vehicle or trail maintenance projects or volunteering in the visitor center, a meaningful volunteer experience can be tailored to your special skill set. The program’s goal is to cultivate partnerships between community members and park staff as they work together for the betterment of their parks and individual and community wellbeing. “Research has shown that volunteering has many benefits, including reduced stress. It also provides an opportunity to connect with others and learn new skills. We’re excited to offer expanded volunteer opportunities at a time when it’s even more important for people to focus on their physical and mental health and can do so in a park environment,” said Andrea Travnicek, Director of the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department. “We hope many individuals will see the program as a chance to safely participate in an activity that not only benefits their personal well-being but the health and vibrancy of their community as well.” Park visitors may be familiar with the department’s Campground
Host volunteer program, which has been in place for several years. This program remains in place, offering volunteers free, full-service camping for the duration of their summer stay in exchange for performing host duties ranging from welcoming and assisting campers with setup to selling firewood or assisting with special events. The expanded volunteer program will match up park projects with individuals and groups depending on the amount of time they are able to volunteer and their skill sets. Whether you’re an individual with only a few hours to spare or a small group that would like to return on a recurring basis, those interested can apply online at www. parkrec.nd.gov/business/ourteam/volunteering or contact Lynn Spomer for more information at 701-328-5357 or LSpomer@nd.gov. The ND Parks and Recreation Department continues to work with local and state health officials to provide a safe experience at our parks that minimizes the risk of exposure to COVID-19. The department encourages all volunteers to follow the CDC’s recommendations on social distancing and personal hygiene. The mission of the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is to offer a diversity of recreation opportunities and sustainably manage resources.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
First and foremost… I thought it would be a fun change of pace to provide you with some of the firsts that have occurred in North Dakota since statehood and before. There’s a lot of interesting information out there that is well documented, and yes, there are some surprises. The first automobile The first “horseless carriage” appeared on the streets of Fargo in 1897. It was a Noyes Bros. & Cutler, two-person auto with a gasoline engine and “cushioned tires.” A cigar company sent the car to Fargo, Grand Forks, and Moorhead, Minn. to appear in Fourth of July parades as an advertising gimmick. The following year, Samuel Holland of Park River began to build automobiles. Holland’s first car was powered by steam (not gasoline) and rode on wooden carriage wheels. It should also be noted that when Holland started manufacturing cars by 1914, there were 31 people who had built cars including two places in Dunseith and two in Aneta. In 1900, O.A. Breman went into the car business in Valley City. Clarence Cummings started out in Carrington in 1908, W.N. Jones started building cars in New England in 1910 and Hilmer Peterson built his first car in Kenmare in 1914. It’s interesting to note that by 1911, the state Legislature required car owners to register their vehicle for a $1 license fee. By 1910, there were 7,200 cars on North Dakota roadways, and by 1920, the number had jumped to 92,000. The first gas station Those first automobiles before the turn of the century were powered by diesel, electricity or steam, and the owners had to stop by a livery stable or blacksmith shop to get as much as 5 gallons of gas. But the first gas station, as we know them today, was in 1906 in Lakota. By 1910 there were several including Casselton, Fargo and Bismarck. The first telephone The first telephone installed in North Dakota was on the Cass County Bonanza farm managed by Oliver Dalrymple. The telephone was purchased in Philadelphia and
Letter to the Editor: Many people would find this very surprising but Soma abuse is actually very common and being prescribed by tons of pain management clinics. Be cautious of the effects this medication could have on you or someone else. Soma is a muscle relaxant that acts as a sedative of the central nervous system putting it in the drug class of a tranquilizer. It has been known to be mixed with other narcotics to form different kinds of “cocktails” which can be deadly. A person abusing Soma also builds a tolerance and dependence for the drug. In a study of 20 Soma users, 13 of them admitted to using more than prescribed. People are known to take it and drive which

installed in the headquarters farm in 1876. It was battery operated and was used to facilitate communication between the main farm and its various divisional farms. 1876 was the same year that Alexander Graham Bell received his U.S. patent for the telephone. By 1881, the first Fargo telephone exchange began operation. The first newspaper We have to go back all the way to 1864, during the height of the Civil War, to find the first newspaper in the Frontier Scout, the first publication in northern Dakota Territory that was written for the soldiers at Fort Union. Published on July 7, it was just a week before the Battle of Tupelo and two weeks before the Battle of Atlanta. Just 20 years later, there were 160 newspapers operating in Dakota Territory, and by 1910, North Dakota had 344 newspapers. Today, there are 86 newspapers in the state. The first lights The first electric lights were turned on April 12, 1883, in Fargo. The Fargo Electric Light and Power Co. was granted a franchise in 1881, built its first power plant in downtown Fargo in 1882, and flipped the switch in April 1883. The first post office Nobody seems to know the exact date, but the first post office was established in Pembina sometime in the 1870s by Charles Cavileer. Prior to that, in 1857, Cavileer established a trading post at St. Joseph (now called Walhalla), lived some years there and then St. Boniface, Manitoba, until returning to Pembina in 1863 where he stayed until he died in 1902. The first baseball teams Believe it or not, but baseball, or some form of it, has been played on the North Dakota prairie since the early 1870s when soldiers at Fort Abraham Lincoln and Fort Buford were the first players. As the Northern Pacific Railroad pushed west, many of the settlers played baseball in their spare time. By 1900, just about every town in the state had a team. According to the Grand Forks Herald, the Red River Valley league started in the summer of 1887. The first radio station WDAY in Fargo was the first to go on the air in 1922 and still broadcasts on 970 AM. The first TV station KCJB-TV, now called KXMC, went on the air in Minot in 1953.

Senator Janne Myrdal R – District 10 jmyrdal@nd.gov 701-331-0946 As I write this update from the recent Agriculture and Transportation Interim Committee there is combine dust and truck noise coming from outside my window. How appropriate for this report. District 10 is agricultural in nature and whether your life is in farming or not, it touches us all. And so does transportation as it is all interlinked. Countless decisions in our Capitol of Bismarck affect the AG industry so I deeply appreciate being on this interim committee looking at issues important to our rural lives. I have written several times about the transfer of the process of grain buyers, roving grain buyers, grain brokers, and grain handling facilities from the Public Service Commissioners to the AG Commissioner. This was passed during the 2019 Session and our interim committee was tasked with reviewing this current law to improve on it next Session. During our last meeting we heard from the AG Commissioner as well as the ND Grain Dealers Association about these issues in the state, including grain buyers, roving grain buyers, grain brokers, and grain handling facilities and issues related to prepayment for fertilizer, soil amendments, seed, and fuel in situations of insolvency. Our study has included a review of the current law, industry practices, and background checks relating to all of the above and a review of methods of maintaining financial security during the grain buying process, including consideration of facility operating capital to ensure adequate solvency during licensing, and the process of confidential financial and physical audits. We have also included a review of the law pertaining to grain handling facility asset lists to determine if changes are required to ensure producers are protected from facility insolvency if an end product is refined and no longer reflects the original product. This also includes the indemnity fund under Title 60, and grain handling facility bonding requirements. In coordination with the Secretary of State, we are also looking at how the state’s central indexing system can be used to provide notification to a secured lender when a super priority lien is filed on the collateral of a secured lender. Yes, I know it gets wordy, but it is an urgent work and we will finalize our amendments or “fixes” to Title 60 in the Century Code at our October meeting. Then these amend-

ments, in the form of a bill, will be presented to the full Legislature in 2021. To bring you all “into” our committee work here is a sample from the official minutes: “In response to a question from Senator Myrdal, Mr. Letcher (ND Grain Dealers Assoc.) said he would like to include language in the bill draft that if a grain broker knew or should have known the transactions the broker is brokering are risky or questionable, the broker’s bond also can be captured if there is an insolvency. He said brokers are an invaluable tool in the grain industry, but they also should have some accountability under the law for the transactions they broker.” This has been an enormous amount of work and educational for all of us to say the least. I am truly honored to be part of it as it is so important for our producers. Looking out the window and seeing grain being harvested truly brings home how important the work of this committee is. During our meeting we heard from NDSU AG Research on their initiatives through SBARE to see livestock expansion in our state. It is a priority even as they face a potential of 15% cuts in their budgets. Which leads me to the economy and budget. It will not be an easy Session coming up as budgets will be trimmed across the board for every State Agency. Caution and conservative are two words that will apply and will be key to dealing with the 2021-2023 biennium budget. Making sure we provide for the essentials while wisely monitoring revenue and expense is a concept most AG producers are familiar with and those common sense ideas should prevail not just in Bismarck but all across our local sub divisions as well. Our committee also studied the electric vehicle infrastructure in North Dakota. There is growth of these vehicles in the urban areas and charging stations can be seen in some areas. I am a firm believer that these should not be state funded, but are a private industry investment only. In other transportation news we are forwarding a concur-
rent resolution relating to urging Congress to temporarily amend cargo carrying truck length and weight restrictions on state highways and interstates that are a part of the National Network to allow North Dakota and surrounding states to conduct a road train pilot program and to permanently amend the restrictions to allow road trains on the National Network highways and interstates if the pilot program is successful. Along with this a bill draft was presented relating to the governor’s authority to exceed size and weight limitations on motor vehicles. The bill draft is necessary for committee consideration because if the resolution is adopted by the Legislative Assembly, there is no law allowing individuals who wish to drive road trains in the state to do so. He said the bill draft would allow the governor to make certain changes and allow road trains meeting certain criteria to be operated in the state. With safe product to market transportation needed and lack of drivers the committee believes this pilot program is merited. In is nearing the end of the interim committee work with only two meetings left later this fall. It has been a strange year for us all. COVID will sadly continue to wag its’ tail for a while and commodity prices are still not what we want, but we are seeing the economy coming back steadily as we hopefully will allow businesses to stay open and social activities to return to normal. It is not sustainable for any of us, nor the government to fret and fear, - rather use wise choices and common sense through it all. My heart still aches for the elderly in skilled care facilities who have been, and are still, apart from their loved ones. Healthcare workers and care takers I have spoken with are all doing a GREAT job under extra stress, but also report the price paid as residents due to isolation. So many family members have called or emailed me concerning this issue. I am convinced we must learn from this and find better ways to protect their constitutional rights. If you come across any of these healthcare workers please thank them.
Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Over the course of the debacle of the year known as 2020, the United States government has made attempts to bolster a flagging economy and assist its citizens. Thus far the only assistance has come through the CARES Act earlier this year with all other federal level attempts stalling out due to politics. This has set the stage for President Donald Trump to bring his own ideas onto the playing field. One of President Trump's latest ideas is a dangerous idea. He is considering a payroll tax holiday. To boost economic action during the pandemic, he is proposing, either by law or by executive action, that we stop collecting payroll taxes until the end of the year. While the typical reaction to a tax being suspended is joy, this move is dangerous for our elderly and poor. Why? Payroll taxes are those deductions that show up on your paycheck's stub. The very thing that is keeping the Soical Security program going as well as the Medicare. To fund Social Security, you get 6.2% deducted from your check. Your employer then has to match that amount. Medicare primarily provides health insurance for those who are 65 and older. 1.45% of your check goes to fund Medicare, and your employer matches that amount. Currently, the Social Security Trust Fund is already on a slow road to becoming insolvent. Once insolvent, it will only be able to pay out in benefits what comes in from taxes. That will mean a dramatic cut forced on future retirees. If we do nothing, that will come in 2037. If we cut current benefits (another bad idea), we can push that date back a long ways. If we slightly increase the tax rates, we can push that back by many years. If we don't cut benefits and don't increase the rates but eliminate the cap where money earned above a certain amount is free from payroll taxes, Social Security might be solvent forever. That
would only effect people who make over $137,000 a year. However, if President Trump goes ahead with his payroll tax holiday and makes it permanent, Social Security would become insolvent by 2026. Then new funding would have to come from somewhere, and benefits would have to be slashed. As first proposed, this payroll tax holiday would merely be a short reprieve. Businesses would stop taking the deductions from your paycheck, but they would then double in the new year until you've paid everything back. Since it will soon be a tax owed, that won't help jumpstart the economy. If the back taxes are going to eventually be forgiven and people trust that all will be forgiven, then it will do a little bit to boost consumer spending but also do significant harm to the trust fund that is already struggling. Medicare is in even worse shape. That trust fund is only five years away from falling short of expenses. Leaving our elderly without health insurance is totally unacceptable. Cutting their coverage to make expenses meet declining revenue is also unacceptable. You may be thinking that our parents paid in for our grandparents, we need to pay in for our parents and, hopefully, our children will pay in for us when we retire. That's not the way the system was set up to run. The money deducted from your check is supposed to go into a huge trust fund. Then, when you retire, it's your money that is funding your Social Security benefits and Medicare health insurance. The system has been broken for a long time, but this holiday idea will compound the ongoing damage. Whether permanent or temporary or repaid, this payroll tax holiday is a dangerous idea. Forcing our retirees to bear cuts to their Social Security benefits and cuts to their Medicare health insurance in an attempt to boost the economy will be cruel and probably ineffective. This is not a bad idea. This is a dangerously bad holiday idea.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent The End of a Season As I covered all the garden plants that I could because of the impending frost that was projected to come, I found myself having mixed feelings. I was a little relieved that the season is almost over yet mournful that it is almost done. Isn’t it strange how we can have conflicting emotions about the same situation? I also feel a little guilty about the fact that I felt relief over the season, as it’s so comforting to know that our plants have produced enough to help feed my family. At the time I am writing this, the last few days have been full of hard work in the garden and yard making sure that everything that could be harvested was harvested. The last few days have also been busy planning what to cover for protection from the frost for one last-ditch effort to still have fresh produce. It’s exciting to find new things that have become ripe and planning what to do with them. There was one point in the week that I just laid in the grass at the garden looking up at the sky, thankful for the harvest we had and wondering what was to come in the next few weeks. As my son came to lay down beside me to solve the world’s problems and talk about the future, I noticed he smelled like the tomatoes and late harvest strawberries he had been eating like crazy fresh out of the garden, and I thought to myself, “things don’t get much better than this”. Though the growing season for the garden is nearly over, there is still much to be done. Finishing up the harvest, food preservation from the harvest, and cleaning out the garden to prepare it for next year’s planting are just a few of the things that need to be done to finish for the year. There are a few things that I want to make sure that we take time to consider right now to help us with these things: *Use the correct vinegar when canning. Not all vinegar is the same. Please check the percentage of acidity on the vinegar container and make sure to use the percentage called for in the recipe. Most
NDSU Extension Notes
recipes call for 5% acidity. It’s vital to food safety. Just because a vinegar is sold near the canning section of the store, does not mean it’s safe to use for canning purposes. *Do not can tomatoes from vines that have frozen or dried up. It changes the pH level of the tomatoes and makes them unsafe to can. Instead, use them fresh or freeze them for later use. *Apple season is upon us. Some apples have already reached maturity and ripeness, but others are just ready to harvest now. Because of the higher moisture content of apples, store them in a cool, humid place free from odors. Remove any shriveling or decaying apples over the course of storage to prevent further decay of other apples. Apples can usually be stored 1-5 months depending on variety. *Pumpkin and winter squash harvest is here. Both pumpkins and winter squash will last longer if a few inches of stem are left on them when picked. After harvesting winter squash, leave them in the sunlight in a window or greenhouse to help their skins harden to prolong their storage life. They can be stored for 2-6 months in a cool, dark place. *Root vegetable harvest has already begun or is ready to begin. Most root vegetables will withstand some frost but feel free to harvest them once the tops have browned. Leaving them in heavy, rich soil for too long after the plants have died may cause decay of the vegetable, and they must be removed before the soil freezes. Because most root vegetables have a higher moisture content, it’s best to store them in a cool, moist area to help retain moisture content. Several can last up to 6 months if stored properly, depending on variety. Since there are so many of these things to consider and I feel the season ended too early, I decided to try something new in celebration instead of wallowing in sadness and self-pity. I just could not leave my produce out in the garden, even if it wasn’t as ripe as it should be and even if it seemed like a lot of work in a short amount of time to get it all harvested. So, I did some research to help me in my celebration and decided to try a new recipe. I have always been fascinated with green tomatoes and the fact that there is such a concept as fried
green tomatoes. Maybe it’s because I liked the book “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café,” written by Fannie Flagg, which turned into a movie by the same name. Maybe it’s because I like the smell of tomato plants. Maybe it’s because I like tomatoes. Whatever the case is, during some research, I was amazed to find that there is such a thing as a green tomato pie. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m going to try it soon! Green Tomato Pie This healthy recipe comes from NDSU Extension Service. Ingredients • 8 medium green tomatoes, sliced • 1 apple, peeled and thinly sliced • 1 cup sugar • 3/4 tsp cinnamon • 1/8 tsp ground cloves • 1 Tbsp butter • 1 tsp tapioca • 1 Tbsp lemon juice • Pastry for a 2-crust 9-inch pie Directions Preheat oven to 400 ° F. In a bowl, make a mixture of sugar, tapioca and spices. Wash and prepare tomatoes and apple. Arrange half the tomato and apple slices in the bottom of the unbaked crust. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the layer. Arrange the remaining tomato and apple slices as a top layer. Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over this layer. Dot with butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Place top crust on pie, seal and flute the edges. Make some slits in the top for steam to escape. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake for 35 minutes or until crust is golden and juices bubble through. Cool on rack for at least one hour. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Makes 1 pie -8 servings.

Dakota Gardener: Earthworms and gardens By Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks County Gardening lessons are always a highlight of my summer programs. This year when I asked the gardeners what they wanted to learn about for their last lesson, worms were the undisputed winner. Earthworms are a beneficial garden creature that many of us take for granted. We have thousands of different types of earthworms. The scientific classification could be and probably is a college course. Earthworms belong to the animal kingdom and phylum Annelid. To prevent information overload, I will stop there with earthworm scientific classification. Instead, let’s look at how earth-

worms are classified based on the soil environment in which they live. Deep-burrowing species, represented by the common night crawler, construct permanent burrows as deep as 4 to 6 feet in the soil. They feed on soil and organic debris on the soil surface and convert it into humus. Upper soil species build wideranging, mainly horizontal burrows. Their burrows are not permanent. They feed on mineral soil particles and decaying organic matter. As they move through the soil, they mix and aerate the soil and incorporate minerals into the topsoil. Surface soil and litter species, such as the common red wiggler, usually are found in areas of rich organic matter such as the upper topsoil layer, under piles of leaves or decaying logs, or in piles of manure. These worms adapt easily to vermicomposting systems because they don’t burrow deeply into the soil and prefer rich organic matter. Earthworm activity has a deep impact on soil health. Their activity improves soil aggregation. Soil aggregation is a natural process in which the soil particles are bound together. The burrows created by earthworms can be a major channel for
soil water movement. The added channels and increased soil aggregation improve soil porosity. An increase in porosity will improve drainage, reduce compaction and help roots get the air they need for healthy growth. Earthworms are great composters. They consume large amounts of organic matter and incorporate it into the soil. Creating a garden that is friendly to earthworms is easy to do. Start by reducing the amount of tilling you do, disturbing the soil as little as possible. Second, leave plant residue on the surface of your garden to feed the earthworms. This can be mulch, compost or disease-free plant residue. Covering the soil also will help reduce the amount of weeding and tilling you need to do. Finally, only use pesticides when necessary because pesticides can be toxic to earthworms. Happy gardening! For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent.

Grain Bin Hazards With the harvesting season in full swing, growers need to consider some safety reminders while working around grain bins. Exercising caution and following these practices might make a huge difference between life and death. Rules of Thumb: • Never enter a grain bin alone. Have at least two people at the bin to assist in case of problems • Do not go into the bin without following safety procedures • Use a safety harness and rope that prevents you from descending rapidly when entering a bin Common Hazards: A. Never enter a bin while unloading grain or to break up a grain bridge or chunks because flowing grain can pull you in and bury you within seconds. B. High moisture grain causes ‘Bridging’ where kernels stick together to form a crust with a cavity underneath. Anyone who walks on the crust will fall into the cavity and be buried under several feet of grain. C. Don’t try to break a grain bridge or blockage loose from inside the bin; D. Try to break up a vertical wall of grain from the top of the bin, not the bottom, because the grain can collapse and bury you.
Rescue Plan for a Trapped Per-
son • Shut off all grain-moving equipment. • Contact your local emergency rescue service or fire department. • Ventilate the bin using the fan if temperatures are moderate. At cold temperatures, the trapped person faces the risk of hypothermia. • Cut holes in the bin sides to remove grain if the person is submerged. Cut V- or U-shaped holes equally spaced around the bin. Grain flowing from just one hole may injure the trapped person and cause the bin to collapse. • Form a retaining wall around the person using a rescue tube or other material to keep grain from flowing toward the person, then remove grain from around the individual. Walking on the grain pushes more grain onto the trapped person. • Don’t try to pull a person out of grain. The grain exerts tremendous forces, so trying to pull someone out could damage the person’s spinal column or cause other damage.

Early season custom farm work rates released The results of the 2020 early season custom farm work rates survey have been released, says Ron Haugen, North Dakota State University Extension farm management specialist. This survey is conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service North Dakota field office and contains state level custom work rates for land tillage, planting, fertilizer and pesticide application, haying operations and other custom work. The survey is done in two parts: the early season operations and the late season operations. The early season operations survey is for spring and summer activities such as planting, tillage, pesticide application and haying. The late season operations survey is underway now and surveys fall work such as harvest rates, grain drying and hauling. The late season survey results are set to be released in December 2020. These surveys are done every four years and are funded by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and NDSU Extension. “The 2020 early season operations survey summarizes about
1,540 reports from farmers, ranchers, aerial sprayers, elevators and custom operators,” Haugen says. “We express our appreciation to these survey participants.” The survey shows the number of reports for each operation, the range in rates, the most frequently reported rates and the average rate for each operation. It also compares the current rates to the 2016 rates (the last time the survey was completed). Custom rates include charges for machines and equipment, tractor and power units, fuel, repairs and operator labor. “In comparing the 2020 early season rates with 2016, rates for 2020 were down slightly for most operations, most likely because of the lower fuel prices,” Haugen says. “Fertilizer applications, pesticide applications and baling were generally higher. There were significant increases in sheep shearing, calf branding and post hole digging.” The early season operations publication can be found on the NDSU Extension farm management page under publications at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/farmmanagement/publications.

Making the tough decision is not easy. When we are facing a decision that is going to require our time, resources, talent, or our energy, it can be overwhelming. As pressures to make decisions mount both internally and externally we can begin to feel a sense of desperation. It is at this time that we can make a poor decision, unfortunately, or fail to make any decision at all because we are too afraid of making the wrong decision. At these times we would do well to remember the words of Proverbs 16:9, “A person’s heart plans his way, but the LORD determines his steps” (CSB). When we struggle with decisions, we often ask ourselves, “What does God want me to do?” While doing God’s will is a noble aim, we must ask ourselves, “What is God’s will in this situation?” This line of thinking does tend to make the decision-making process harder. We start looking at the things around us, our circumstances, small signs we interpret as God communicating with us, and often we might ask someone who we see as being in a place of spiritual authority. In fact, I do have people who come to me from time to time looking for my help in a big decision they must make. They tell
me the signs they have seen or circumstances and want to know my take on the issue. In these times we are right to ask for help, but there is also something at our fingertips that helps even more, scripture. When we are looking to make a decision and we want to know that God is behind our decision, the best thing that we can do is to ensure that whatever decision we make does not go against the truth and principals of the Bible. This should give us peace as we make plans for today and tomorrow. If we are making good, biblically sound decisions, go ahead and move forward. Make your plans, dream about the amazing ideas you have! All the while when you are making those plans, keeping your heart and mind focused on the Lord, you can have confidence in moving forward knowing that the Lord will direct your steps. God has revealed His precepts so that we know how to honor Him in our actions. He has written His statutes upon the hearts of His people to know what is good. God has given us a soul that craves fellowship with Him. His word tells us that He loves us and is near to us. And for these reasons that we know He will determine the steps of His people.

Beatrice Grove turned 100 years old on August 31. In lieu of a large celebration, the surrounding communities were asked to send cards in hopes of her receiving 100 cards. Our generous communities surpassed this goal, and she received over 200 cards and counting. Thank you to each of you who took the time to recognize this huge milestone. She was truly overwhelmed with everyone’s kindness and enjoyed reading each and every card. Thank you on behalf of Beatrice Grove, the Grove family, and Osnabrock Community Living Center.

Brush with the Bunch
Helen Marie Kirking has been a part of the Walhalla community since 2014 and joined the Brush Bunch in 2015. She has enjoyed painting with oils and watercolor for many years. Many of her artwork pieces portray animals and things of nature. Helen shows a professionalism in art that some of us do not have (me). Being a wife and mother of three young daughters has kept her from being with us on a regular basis. We miss you, Helen, and await your return. This is my “At work with the Bunch!“ #20 and last article in this series; it has been fun reminiscing about our present Brush Bunch members and showing you some of their work. I hope I didn‘t miss anyone. In my next several articles, I hope to show you some on the members early work. I have asked for a picture of the first or early paintings of each member and a short story of that piece of work. Let‘s see how that will work out. Quotes!

Prairie Doc® Perspectives: Passing the torch By Jill Kruse, D.O.
When I was younger my parents would let me stay up late to watch “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson. I will never forget when it was announced that he would be leaving the show and Jay Leno would be the new host. I was shocked and upset. How could anyone possibly sit behind that desk and host the show as well as Johnny? My family begrudgingly started watching Jay Leno as he took the stage. The show was not the same, but over time we came to accept the new host and what he brought to the show that was different and new. Change is difficult for everyone, but change is one of the few constants in this world. The Prairie Doc® organization is experiencing our own version of change after the death of our founder Dr. Richard Holm in March 2020. None of us will ever replace our Dr. Holm with his wisdom and charisma; however, we bring our own unique strengths and experiences to the programs to make them our own while supporting his mission. Dr. Holm embraced

change as was evidenced in many of his writings: “Change is something we all must face in life, and I have observed that those who embrace change seem to flourish,” wrote Holm. “As the seasons turn, we are reminded that to survive in this life we must face change,” he wrote in his book Life’s Final Season. “Not too long ago, I attended two funerals in one month and wondered how both surviving eighty-year-old men were going to handle the loss of their spouses and all the changes that were about to occur. Usually people need about six months to mourn before they are expected to recover and move on. The standard teaching in medical school is to begin being concerned when mourning lasts longer than that, but every situation is different.” Referring to the surviving spouses, Holm wrote, “When love is true, (the deceased) would want the one left alone to see change as an opportunity to continue in another way, to find fresh interests, to discover new joy.” We invite you to join us in respecting Dr. Holm’s wishes as we continue his legacy and accept his
challenge to embrace change. His message is clear, “I believe the ability to handle change is like working and stretching a muscle. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. Stagnation can cause rigidity, weakness, despondency and death; but movement can cause flexibility, strength, happiness and life.” We hope that our loyal audience will continue to watch the show, listen to the radio program, and podcast, and read the newspaper articles or blog posts. The torch has been passed and I, along with the other Prairie Docs and our guests, accept it humbly and graciously. We hope you enjoy this new season as we honor Dr. Holm and continue to bring you useful information based on honest science, provided in a respectful and compassionate manner.

Cardinals corral Aggies early, stomp to a 56-8 for Region 2A road win By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
Hitting the road for the second time this season, the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals football team began conference play when they played the Park River Area Aggies in a Region 2A game on September 4. In a near mirror image of their first two games, the Cards sped to a 42-0 halftime lead and won again going away, 568. It was the third game in a row that the Cardinals have scored 50 or more points, hitting that mark in all three games that they played to this point. The top ranked Cards are now 3-0, 1-0 in conference play. After playing their Homecoming and Senior Night game versus Rugby on September 11, they hit the road to take on Harvey-Wells County in the Hornets Nest on September 18. Looking back at their game in Park River, the Cardinals took control right away after stopping the Aggies on a three and out to begin the contest. Langdon-Edmore-Munich converted a third-and-11 on a 13 yard pass from Simon Romfo to Cooper Zimmer, which set up a five yard pass from Romfo to Tucker Welsh. After getting the ball back
quickly, the Cards would get into the end zone again with Romfo finding Zimmer wide open down the seam for a 17 yard TD. The Cards would get another score on Romfo's third touchdown pass of the quarter, a 32 strike to Markus Kingzett, who had great run after the catch to make the score 20-0 after the first frame. The second quarter saw the Cardinals score three more times all by the Romfo twins - the first on a one yard Grant Romfo touchdown run set up by a 42 yard pass from Grant to Simon on fourth down and 10. Grant would score on the Cards next possession on a 37 yard pass from Simon, while Simon had a 43 yard run on their final drive of the half, which he then pounded into the end zone from the three yard line to make it 42-0 at the half. In the second half the Cardinals were happy to see two of their seniors find pay dirt. Drew Simpson had a three yard TD run, followed by one yard plunge by Skyler Fincher to cap the Cards scoring. Simon Romfo finished the game with 235 yards passing, completing 15 of 24 passes with four touchdowns. Grant Romfo had a team high eight carries for 85 yards while also leading the team in receiving with three catches for 88 yards.

Lady Cards open season with home win versus Cavalier By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team began to defend their 2019 State Championship when they finally got their season underway with a home match versus Cavalier on September 3. The Lady Cards had to battle most of the match but won in a sweep on set scores of 25-19, 25-16 and 25-16. With the win the Cardinals start their season at 1-0. After playing at Thompson on September 10, they will host Rolette on September 15 then play at North Border in Wal-
halla on September 17 before finishing up a busy week hosting Carrington the afternoon of September 19. Langdon-Edmore-Munich was ranked number one once again in the latest Class B volleyball poll. In their matches with the Tornadoes, the Cards fell behind in each of the first two sets before getting things together to win them both. The third set was in doubt as Cavalier fought back from being down by as many as eight points before coming back to make the score 1615. But the Lady Cards would go on a 7-0 run to win the the third set and the match.
The Cards got contributions from up and down the lineup in the victory, with freshman Cora Badding leading the team in kills with 11, followed by Lexi Olson and Morgan Freije with seven each. New freshman setter Jaylynn Swanson had a team high 18 assists, followed by Morgan Thielbar with seven. Defensively Kaylee Lowery led the team with nine digs for the match, and Frieje had a team high seven service aces.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland
Cardinals football team puts Homecoming and Senior Night together In this age of the pandemic, events change rapidly to say the least. That point held true for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team when hosted Rugby on Sept. 11. At first it was going to be Senior Night for the Cardinals, then it was changed to their Homecoming Game. In the end they put the two together, with the reason being that there is such unknown about just how long the season will last. So, they decided to have both events on the same night, to make sure that the students and players would be able to enjoy both. Not a bad idea when you never know what's going to happen the next week or even the next day. The Cardinals are on the road in the week ahead, traveling to HarveyWells County to play in the Hornets Nest. H-WC is thought to be one of the teams that will be the biggest competition to Langdon-EdmoreMunich in Region 2A this season, to we will hope for fun, competitive contest. The Cardinals have scored over 50 points in each of their first three games this season. Lady Cards have a Homecoming of sorts The Langdon-Edmore-Munich
Cardinals volleyball team has two home matches scheduled in the week ahead. They will host Rolette on on Sept. 15, then in one of the many additions to their schedule, will host Carrington on the afternoon of Sept. 19. A road match at North Border in Walhalla is also mixed in on Sept. 17. In the all new this year Class B Volleyball Poll, the Lady Cards are ranked first in the state again, getting all 13 first place votes. This week ramps up the girls schedule, as they had only played one match so far this season, winning at home over Cavalier 3-0. They also played a match at #3 Thompson on Sept. 10. Langdon Country Club still open for the business; Men's League champs are crowned A reminder that even though we are right in the middle of harvest, the Langdon Country Club is still rolling right along as well. Congratulations to Sid Ullyott and Eric Aanderud, won the Tuesday Men's League Playoffs with a win over Zack Schaefer and Justin Overby. There are a couple of late season events at the club still being finalized, and we may have more information on that next week. As we have said in the past, this is the time of year when the course is in its best condition, so get out and enjoy it. The clubhouse also will be having Tuesday Men's Stag activities, with kitchen open, until further notice.

Our Not So Perfect World With COVID news part of every conversation and political extremists telling us to vote twice in the upcoming election - not legal in North Dakota - my original plan was to write this week about something more politically correct. After several tries, a frequent September topic (school long ago) was also put aside. The start of school during a pandemic can be traumatic for teachers, parents, and students. None of those groups want suggestions or stories about projects they hope would be new and exciting when they present them for their students. Absolutely no one wants to read about how lonely and frustrating isolation can be for older people who have been told by all that they will not live out this particular epidemic—even if we have survived months of masks, social distancing and trying not to complain. So, I fell back on the proce-

dure for previous similar dilemmas: had a good night’s sleep, a good breakfast and dressed in the brightest clothes in the closet before setting out to write another chapter in the long list of books enjoyed sometimes over and over again. Before we get to that topic, there is one comment recalled from that long ago year when my brother was hoping to begin school. Rodney was the long anticipated first child in our family, so our young mother had prepared for his birth by making him a nice little wardrobe of boy type clothes, a blue blanket, and choosing his name. He even had a cute little sheepskin puppy to play with and a family teddy bear had a new romper made just like one made for the new baby. But when the time came for his birth, the new baby was a girl! It was not an era when baby girls were on the top of a farm family’s list. They decided to keep me anyway, and little Rodney arrived 18 months later. I had started school the day I was six and heard a lot from both Rodney and other relatives about the fact that he should start with me since he was so much more intelligent than
Langdon Long Ago
I was. Some of our cousins had begun school at a younger age. School officials did not agree. Rodney had to wait until he was six (in February), and school was not slated to start until September. And then catastrophe struck. The weekend before school started Langdon had a devastating hailstorm which destroyed windows and skylights, gardens and roofs all over the town. School could not start until the end of September because several of the classrooms no longer had panes in their windows. My memory of that storm is of my brother placed in a safe corner of the dining room (away from shattered windows) saying over and over - “Are we ever going to be happy again?” Hopefully 2020’s new students who might have been anxious over the pandemic are finding their first school days will be good memories. No matter how discouraging the world in general is presented by the international and national media, just the fact that school has started is good news. Farmers are in the fields harvesting; there are tomatoes and apples to pick and enjoy eating. The threatened winds have

so far missed us; the volleyball and football teams are winning---in one game by inches. And for those of us spending more and more days in isolation, sometimes there are pleasant surprises. On Thursday morning my nephew called while on his way to work. While his parents were living, I heard from them occasionally, but they are now gone, so a call from Andy is always special. With the world seeming unsettled, even to the younger generation, he just wanted to ask if I was okay and to keep in touch. The virus has encouraged quite a few people to reach out to relatives and old friends. One bit of news was that he had been watching the weather and knew there were typhoons in Japan, approaching signs of winter in Siberia and Kamchatka, and his weather map showed all of this as moving into North Dakota by the weekend. His family had visited North Dakota in the 1970s and encountered 20 inches of snow. He was suggesting I stay indoors for the next several days. In case we were isolated by weather rather than the virus, I stopped at the library to find something to read. If you are even thinking about being stranded it is best to be prepared to do something relaxing. A friend was restocking her reading material when I noticed a familiar name on one of the books on her pile. The book looked new, and I was surprised to see a new title since the author had died years ago. How had I missed that one? The next step was to mention I would like to read the book when she finished. Being generous, she handed it to me with a comment that it was an author she had heard about but never read. Of course, I checked out the book which happened to be “Black Coffee” by Agatha Christie. Regular readers of Dame Agatha’s many published works know she chooses titles like “Death in the Library,” “Death in Mesopotamia,” “Hickory, Dickory, Dock,” “The Cat Among the Pigeons,” “Mousetrap,” or an all-time favorite like “Murder on the Orient Express,” or “By the Pricking of My Thumbs.” The blurb on the front cover says the book was written about a formula for splitting the atom which would help England battle the fast-rising Nazi regime. Possibly the writer of that blurb was too young to realize the original manuscript pre-dated Hitler’s time in power. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is that it was originally written as a stage play before Hitler was wellknown even in Germany. Neither Adolph Hitler nor Nazi Germany are mentioned in the book. Agatha Miller was born in Devonshire, England, in 1890 and married her first husband, Archie Christie, a captain in the Royal Flying Corps, in 1914. A daughter was born after the war, but the husband is not mentioned after she began writing. Her first book was to answer a challenge from her sister. Agatha felt she could write a good detective novel that would be as popular as the Sherlock Holmes stories and in 1920 set out to prove
it was possible. Her first book featured a 5’4” Belgian detective with an egg-shaped head named Hercule Poirot. First published in the U.S., it came out in England a year later and was the first of at least 80 novels and collections of short stories that she wrote. Another book, which came out in 1926, was chosen for adaptation as a stage play and later a movie. She disliked the way the stage play changed her original story, but that experience brought actor Charles Laughton to prominence playing roles in several of her later works. As a result, she began writing stage plays in the 1920s, and some of the best are apparently still playing in London, New York, and from time to time around the world. “Black Coffee” began as a stage play in the late 1920s. In 1930 Agatha married again, this time to an archeologist, and traveled extensively with him, working their travels into enough novels, plays and short stories to make her the most famous female author in the world—a point at which she received the honor of becoming Dame Agatha Christie, similar to being knighted by the king or queen in power at the time. Her books reached the level of outselling all other books except for the Bible and Shakespeare. All the novels did not include Hercule Poirot. In 1930 she added Miss Marple, who was featured in many stories set in England. Miss Marple took her knitting with her everywhere except maybe church on Sundays. Marple belonged to the Church of England and vicars figured prominently in her lifestyle as did many cups of tea. The first Agatha Christie stories I encountered were her short stories which generally had some unique form of poisoning included in the story line. While the characters differed from book to book, she tried various writing styles and a variety of characters solving the crimes. Most of her characters travelled by train so reading her books gives you a passenger’s view of many of England’s scenic counties. Agatha Christie died in 1976. However, “Black Coffee” in novel form, still staring Hercule Poirot in the leading role, was not written until 1998. The Christie descendants and her biographer combined their talents to change the stage play into a novel and to retain the speaking parts of the original play while attempting to create a 1930s atmosphere around the dialogue. The characters kept their original names, one of the characters died by poisoning (we are told that Christie novels did not normally deal in guns, duels or other gruesome details), Poirot exercised his “little gray cells” to solve the mystery, and the atom splitting formula which was well before its time did not fall into enemy hands. The book was still fun to read with much of the century-ago dialogue intact. Unlike many novels with a mystery to solve, Agatha Christie books did not tend to end with the butler as the villain. If you have not read any of her novels, you might want to start with some of her clever short stories.
