Details about the November 2020 Election in Cavalier County Cavalier County will be conducting the November 3, 2020, General Election as a mail ballot election with one (1) physical polling location. The authority for a county commission to conduct mail ballot elections is authorized by North Dakota Century Code, Chapter 16.1-11.1-01. A mail ballot election requires at least one physical polling location and for the county auditor to mail absentee ballot applications to all active voters that have not previously applied for an absentee ballot that year. Absentee ballots are only sent to citizens that have completed an application that has been verified by the Cavalier County Auditor’s Office. Although a mail ballot election is typically referred to as “Vote by Mail,” there are several ways to submit a ballot for the November 2020 General Election: • Return an absentee ballot to the Cavalier County Auditor’s Office via U.S. Postal Service, postmarked by November 2, 2020 (901 3rd Street – Suite 15, Langdon, ND 58249)

• Return an absentee ballot via secure ballot box by 5:00 p.m. CT on November 2, 2020. Ballot box is located at the Cavalier County Courthouse – Door 1, 901 3rd Street, Langdon, ND • Return an absentee ballot to the Cavalier County Auditor’s Office in person by 4:30 p.m. CT on November 2, 2020 (Cavalier County Courthouse, 901 3rd Street, Langdon, ND) • Vote in person on Elec-

Choice Bank hosts event to benefit Maple Manor Care Center By Linda Timian Republican Writer Choice Bank employees gathered after hours on Thursday, September 10 to make wheelchair ponchos for Maple Manor Care Center residents. “We had 10 employees par-

ticipate on-site,” said Choice Bank employee Hillary Girodat. “Even employee’s working from home were able to come in.” The event is part of the Ignite Program, started in 2015, where Choice Bank employees have the opportunity to vol-

unteer in community service activities. All Choice Bank locations took part in making the wheelchair ponchos as part of the event. The focus on senior citizens came from a discussion group that tried to identify people most impacted, in part, cont. on page 2

Cavalier County Commission approves budget at last meeting By Melissa Anderson Republican Writer The Cavalier County Commission conducted regular business during their recent meeting. The commissioners also reviewed and approved the final budget. The Commission discussed the roads as well as roadmen and equipment with Cavalier County Road Supervisor Terry Johnston. Over the course of discussion Commissioner Stanley Dick noted that there is concern that the western portion of the county would not be amicable to the moving of a plow truck to Langdon. Also discussed was the ongoing issues that the county has with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife at the federal level. Cattails will create a natural snow fence causing township roads to blow in,

which will require additional snowplow cost on townships with already stressed budgets. Dick, Johnston, and the remaining members of the Commission discussed options as well as where the Commission can go to alleviate the situation. Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner discussed the upcoming general election date and the sole polling location of Cavalier County being at the courthouse. Gellner explained that the polling location will utilize as many county employees as possible with help from a few extra polling employees from previous elections. Gellner and the commissioners discussed the safety of the polling site as well as times that it will be open. The decision was made to maintain an 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. polling site.

The Commission held their final budget hearing. Discussed was the possibility of lowering the mill levy from 37 to 35 mills. An increase will be needed to balance the budget, but Gellner noted that, as of yet, two county entities that receive mill levy funding have yet to turn in a budget. She informed the commissioners that should these entities not enter a budget, they would receive no funding. The budget was reviewed and ultimately approved as presented. In Other Business • Cavalier County States Attorney Scott Stewart, at the request of Commissioner Stanley Dick, gave an update on the situation with the county policy manual and implementation of the state appendix relating to social services. All social services policies previously in the manual were struck and, instead, will have the zoneapproved state social services policy manual included as an appendix strictly for that department. • Cavalier County Weed Officer Josh Short provided a department update. Short informed the commissioners on the state of equipment and areas that were treated.

CBP seizes $3.6 million of counterfeit currency U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations officers at the Pembina Port of Entry seized $3.6 million in counterfeit United States currency on Sept. 11. CBP officers working commercial cargo at the Pembina Port Wednesday targeted a commercial shipment described as toy guns. Inspection of the shipment resulted in the discovery of nine toy guns as well as 36,000 $100 bills. Inspection of the currency revealed the funds were counterfeit. CBP will destroy the seized counterfeit currency. “Our officers work extremely hard to protect the United States from a variety of threats,” said Pembina Area Port Director Jason Schmelz. “Working with other federal partners, CBP officers were able to keep this counterfeit currency from entering into the economy. To have such a significant seizure on the 19th anniversary of 9/11, shows the commitment all of our officers have, not only today, but every single day they come to work in order to keep our country safe from all threats.” Stopping the flow of illicit goods is a priority trade issue for CBP. The importation of counterfeit merchandise including counterfeit currency can damage the U.S. economy. For more information on CBP’s priority trade issue visit: Trade Priorities.

Prairie Fare: Consider composting

“You’re moving the compost pile?” I asked. I had a note of disbelief in my voice. “Well, yeah,” my husband replied matter-of-factly. End of conversation. About 15 years ago, we moved from our first house to our current one, along with our compost pile and three young kids. My husband found a nice, shady spot cleverly hidden under some evergreen trees. I think the real estate agent was happy we moved the compost pile prior to trying to sell our original house. Composting has been my husband’s pet project. He moved from Oregon, where recycling and composting were regular habits, to North Dakota many years ago. After 27 years of marriage, I have adapted to having a lot of bins for recycling and composting. My husband has adapted to my love of growing flowers, vegetables and fruit trees. Actually, our hobbies are mutually beneficial. My garden scraps feed the compost pile. The compost helps my gardens grow really well. Composting also is good for the environment. According to a University of Washington study, food waste generates methane when it goes to landfills but not when it is composted. When you compost at home, you are doing a favor for the environment. Some people call compost “black gold” because this rich mixture of decomposed plant material provides nitrogen, copper, zinc, phosphorus and other nutrients. If you never have composted, you might want to consider it. About 95% of food scraps end up in the landfill. Composting is a way to reduce food waste while transforming plant materials into rich, fertile humus

through the action of microorganisms. Find a shady spot because your compost pile should remain moist and not dry out. Many experts suggest starting with a bin that is 3 by 3 by 3 feet or a 5-foot cube. You can buy a bin or make your own. You will need a shovel or pitch fork to turn your pile. Think of compost as a mixture of greens, browns and water. In general, a 50:50 mixture of greens and browns is the recommended “recipe.” “Greens” include items such as apple cores, leafy greens, onion skins, corn cobs and husks, egg shells, banana peels, potato peels, weeds and coffee grounds. Most of these items are particularly high in nitrogen. “Browns” provide carbon and include small branches, leaves, shredded paper, nut shells, coffee filters, straw, wood chips and empty cardboard tubes. Smaller pieces will break down more quickly. Water also is essential for the microorganisms to act. The pile should be damp, like a wrung-out sponge. Avoid putting certain items in your compost bin. Fats, grease, oils, meat and bones may attract unwanted animals to your bin and cause odor. If you have pets, do not put their waste in the bin. Avoid adding yard trimmings treated with pesticides, diseased plants or weeds with mature seed heads. Composting does require some tending. Experts suggest turning it monthly or more often. On average, with the right conditions, you will have compost ready in about three months. You can keep feeding your compost bin in all seasons. Although turning the compost may become impossible in the winter, the breakdown of the plant material will continue slowly. We have added our compost to raised gardens or put it around trees and shrubs to hold moisture. Our compost is placed in garbage cans on wheels so we can move it easily around our yard. Try placing about 3 inches of compost on top of

soil and working it 8 to 12 inches into the soil. Did I mention I like flowers? I have many containers around our yard that show their appreciation for the natural fertilizer by blooming brightly. Most gardening experts recommend about one part compost to three parts soil for potted plants. As food preservation season continues and fall yardwork begins, I will share plenty of scraps and yard waste with the compost bin.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

First, second and foremost… Last week’s reader response was really good so during the week, I did some “digging” and found some more firsts for North Dakota. The first state-owned bank We should all know about the Bank of North Dakota and how it fits into North Dakota’s history. It deserves a mention here because it was the first state-owned bank in the nation. It should actually say “only,” as it continues as the only state-owned bank in 50 states and four territories. The bank got started in 1919 after Non Partisan League legislators were frustrated about current conditions. The first refrigerated rail cars Territorial rancher Marquis de Mores moved to western Dakota Territory and staked quite a bit of land to start a cattle ranch. He realized while doing this that shipping the live cattle in rail cars to the east coast stockyards for processing was quite inefficient. His revolutionary idea was to process the meat right there on his farm near Medora then ship the pre-packaged meat in train cars full of ice to wherever it needed to go. Unfortunately, the East Coast stockyard owners were none too thrilled about this. They worried it would ruin their business, so they refused to buy meat from him, ultimately causing him to give up on his ranching endeavors. The first Kodak camera That timeless name may make a little more sense now. A North Dakota man named David Henderson Houston invented the Kodak camera and sold it to the founder of the company, George Eastman. The name came from the letters in ‘Dakota,’ as well as Eastman’s desire for a name that was easy to remember, unique, and would become a household name. It started a nationwide camera and film industry with its headquarters in Rochester, N.Y. The first mosque This one may come as a surprise to most. It is believed that the first mosque in the entire United States was built in North Dakota, just outside the small town of Ross in Mountrail County. The original structure was torn down some decades ago and now a replica building stands in its place. The original building was built by homesteaders just like all the others coming to the state – seeking land and a better life. Many people come to see it today for its special place in history. It is said to have inspired the Canadian sitcom “Little Mosque on the Prairie,” about a group of Muslim immigrants who came to the prairie to find a better life. The first license tabs Whether you call them tabs, tags, stickers, or otherwise – every car on the road in the country requires an up-to-date one. This started in none other than North Dakota in 1911 by a DMV worker named Lenard Milo. It started as a requirement in this state only then spread to everywhere else. Interestingly enough, the entire

story of the tags is written out on Milo’s gravestone. This was briefly mentioned last week in the first automobile category. The first police drone law This was big news more recently. North Dakota was the first state to put a law in the books about the use of police drones. A common misconception is that they were the first to allow police drones with nonlethal weapons (such as tasers), but other states allow them, too, usually because there are no laws prohibiting them. North Dakota, however, was just the first state to make any sort of law regarding the subject. The law also states that lethal weapons are prohibited, which most other states do not have a law against. The first non-native person It is believed the first non-native person to set foot in what is now North Dakota was Pierre La Verendrye in 1738. La Verendrye was a French-Canadian fur trader, who for a time, was employed by the Hudson’s Bay Company in retrieving furs. La Verendrye observed and noted numerous things that brought additional people to the area. It led to the first settlement, a Northwest Company fort and trading post at what is now Pembina. The first oil well For a number of years, starting as early as 1920, there was a belief there was oil under North Dakota with test wells being dug and stock in companies being sold. It wasn’t until 1951, however, that oil was discovered near Tioga, starting an industry that has become the second-leading oil producing state in the United States behind only Alaska.

Remember when . . .

This old photo was submitted by Leo Beauchamp. The Olga school system began in 1882 in the log building which housed the first church. Classes were also held in the priest's living quarters. The building shown was built in 1906 and had three classrooms. 1st-3rd downstairs right, 4th and 5th upstairs left and upstairs right was the 7th and 8th grades. There was also two years of high school for awhile. The other room downstairs was the playroom and lunchroom. It was a public school taught by Catholic nuns from 1918 until 1948. It was torn down in 1981. If you have a picture that you would like to share, stop by the Republican or email ccr@utma.com. If emailing a photo, please send a high resolution file.

Dear Editor

Letter to the Editor: The traditional length of a treatment program is an addict’s first choice. Not wanting to miss out on work, holidays, or other responsibilities makes someone more hesitant to committing to long term treatment. We have to keep in mind that when choosing a treatment that will promote the goal of staying drug free for good is not all about length of time but effectiveness towards the goal. Traditional 28 day programs do not offer as much time for their body to heal before they dive into the reasons why the addict

turned to drugs. Whether it be from childhood or the roller coaster of addiction, a longer treatment program offers the time to discover and conquer the root of the problem, drugs were thought to be a solution for.

Palmer Amaranth Found in 3 New Counties I wish COVID-19 slowed down this noxious weed too just as it did our lives! But unfortunately, that’s not the case! Palmer amaranth has been found in three new counties: Stutsman, Barnes, and Cass. Investigations are still ongoing, but it appears the findings in Stutsman and Barnes may be linked to contaminated grain (sunflower) screenings being fed to cattle, whereas the plants in Cass County were found in an industrial area within the City of Fargo. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring provided the following statement after the findings: “I strongly encourage agricultural producers to monitor fields for weed infestations, especially where manure was spread or where cattle that were fed grain screenings may have foraged.” At one site, we did observe Palmer amaranth growing out of manure piles and around feed piles. The sites in Stutsman and Barnes counties have vastly different infestation levels. One of the sites had fewer than one plant per acre in the fields that were monitored. The other site had more Palmer amaranth plants than there are people in North Dakota. Both sites are currently being managed and future management plans are in place to contain and manage the infestations. One interesting note is that velvetleaf and buffalobur were found at both sites. Neither of those weeds are very common in those areas, so they may also have arrived via contaminated feed. We strongly encourage everyone to continue scouting for potential Palmer amaranth infestations as we close out the summer and get ready to harvest the rest of our crops. Preventing seed production and seed rain in 2020 are some of the best tools that we have to manage infestations beyond this year. If you find plants that you suspect are Palmer amaranth, please contact our County Weed Officer or myself. We will visit the location and help you identify and suggest management plans. Early detection will

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent What’s Best is Best Television, I-Pad, Radio. The same person using all of them at the same time… There are sometimes struggles in my household that include resistance to picking up toys, getting ready for bed, turning off electronics, and listening to instruction the first time it’s given, but my husband just won’t listen to me when I tell him what to do. Go figure. In all seriousness, as a parent, I find it difficult at times and feel the struggles should never happen. But, in reality, it’s important to realize that it’s often common in most families. I would also like to think that if there wasn’t some resistance to authority at certain points (within reason), would my child really be able to function and think for themselves as they grow older? Sometimes, it’s a daily struggle. Other weeks, it’s easier. Finding the balance between knowing what’s good for your family and keeping them happy and content isn’t always easy. Have I used electronics to keep my child occupied? Unfortunately, yes. There is guilt with that, but, at the time, I was struggling with trying to find that balance. I think most caregivers of children can relate on at least some level. One thing is certain: what’s best is best, no matter how difficult it is. My job as a parent is not to dictate every waking moment of my child’s life. It is to take the lead and teach them the proper ways to think and manage themselves for future reference. And, let’s be honest, people are “monkey see, monkey do” not “do as I say, not as I do.” Children need to see examples of what is expected of them in their caregivers, not just told what they should be doing. The guidance a caregiver provides a child is essential to their well-being and ability to take care of themselves as individuals, young or

remain our best management tactic to prevent this weed from gaining a foothold in North Dakota. (Source: Joe Ikley, Extension Weed Specialist) Frogeye Leaf Spot on Soybean: A New Disease of Soybeans in ND We are beginning to find Frogeye Leaf Spot in North Dakota. Yield loss to Frogeye will not occur this late in the growing season. To the best of our knowledge, Frogeye leaf spot has not been confirmed before in North Dakota. We have observed the disease in Sargent and Richland Counties last week, and are conducting a survey this week to better understand the prevalence of the disease. The disease occurs widely through the soybean-corn belt and has been reported from South Dakota and Minnesota. Symptoms of Frogeye leaf spot begin as small dark spots, and enlarge to 1/8 - 1/4 inch, circular to irregular leaf lesions (Figure 1). Lesions centers are commonly graybrown with a darker reddish-purple border. Visible gray fungal growth may be visible on the underside of the lesions (Figures 2 and 3). Other diseases and chemical injury can mimic Frogeye symptoms, and an excellent publication produced by a multi-state group of pathologists examines common look-alikes [Link https://crop-protection-network. s3.amazonaws.com/publications/ cpn-1017-frogeye-leaf-spot.pdf]. The warm and humid growing season this year was very favorable for Frogeye leaf spot development. Most likely, the pathogen (Cerco-

spora sojina) came from adjacent states where the disease is more common. The pathogen can survive in crop residue for two years, but it is somewhat unclear how well it will survive in North Dakota’s winter. We hope to have a better understanding of how widespread Frogeye leaf spot is in North Dakota by next week, and we thank the North Dakota Soybean Council for providing funding to conduct a survey. (Source: Sam Markell, Extension Plant Pathologist, Broadleaf Crops; Berlin Nelson, Soybean Pathologist) Worms in Potatoes: This was the first time I saw these kinds of worms feeding on potatoes. Actually, these are spotted snake millipedes (SSM). They are primarily scavengers feeding on decomposed organic matter or tissue that has been damaged by other pests and diseases. However, they are capable of causing primary damage during prolonged dry conditions in search of moisture. Infestations could be severe during rainfall events and in soils rich in organic matter. Potatoes, turnips, beans and squash are a few of the vegetables that are susceptible to SSM infestation. What can you do? 1. Making sure you have less crop residue like decaying or decomposing plant material. 2. Proper water management. 3. May be move your gardening your garden to a new spot. Fig. 1.

old. It’s also essential to help children expand their minds and experience things that they wouldn’t normally experience without the guidance of the caregiver. There is a point, as a parent, that we need to take the lead. The main goal is to have our children grow into happy, healthy, productive adults, isn’t it? In order for that to happen, there has to be some discomfort, for both the caregiver and the child. Without the discomfort, there is no growth. If there is no growth, life is stagnant, and children may not get the guidance that is essential to their health and wellbeing. One thing that helps a child grow and thrive is to have expectations they are required to live by and consistency in those expectations. It is not being cruel to a child to expect them to do certain chores or behave appropriately. It is also important to be consistent in your expectation so that the child knows what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Without consistency, the child will get mixed messages and will not know what, how, and when. Without that knowledge, they won’t be able to navigate the rivers of the world on their own, which will cause organizational, behavioral, or relationship problems. Some expectations and guidance that will help: *Consistent bedtimes and bedtime routines --According to The National Sleep Foundation (sleepfoundation. org), school-age children need 9-11 hours and teens need 8-10 hours of sleep each night. --Routines for younger children: bath, pajamas, and teeth brushing --Additional routines for teens: no electronics after a certain time of night, including phones near their beds (a charging station for all family members' phones in the kitchen would be a good idea). If teens argue that they need it for their alarm clock, clocks for alarms can be found inexpensively in stores and online. *Consistent mealtimes and mealtime expectations

--Nutrition plays a key role in behavior and well-being. Nutritious meals and snacks at consistent times are best for physical as well as mental health. --No electronics is a good expectation to have at meals. It helps family members have social time as well as helps a person pay more attention to the foods and the amount of foods being put into the body. --Another expectation is for everyone to take part in preparing and/or cleaning up after the meal. *Age appropriate chores --Start them young with picking up toys and putting dirty clothes into the hamper. --Progressively move into other jobs that are more difficult or more involved such as sweeping, garbage duty, scrubbing floors and bathrooms, vacuuming, etc. as the child grows older. Even though it’s not always easy to guide your child in things that are important in life and behavior, what’s best is best. Sometimes it’s what is best in the moment. At other times, it’s what is best for your child’s future. The key is to choose our battles, have expectations, and be consistent. AND, the great news is: it’s NEVER too late to start!

Miranda joins NDSU as soybean breeder Carrie Miranda’s passion for food security, molecular biology and plant breeding led her to complete her Ph.D. at the University of Missouri. Carrie Miranda has joined North Dakota State University as an assistant professor and project leader for the soybean breeding program. In addition, Miranda will teach NDSU’s Department of Plant Sciences applied plant breeding and research methods class in the fall of 2021. The goals of her soybean breeding program at NDSU are to produce high-yield varieties while discovering new genetic mechanisms for useful traits to ensure North Dakota farmers have access to superior soybean varieties. “We look forward to Dr. Miranda working with scientists, producers and growers with the common interest of developing and improving soybean varieties,” says Richard Horsley, NDSU Department of Plant Sciences head. Miranda is originally from Cleveland, Ohio, where she completed her bachelor’s degree in biology at Cleveland State University.

After volunteering for AmeriCorps in Arizona and teaching English in Seoul, South Korea, she returned to the U.S. to complete her master’s degree in molecular biology at San Diego State University. Uniting her passion for food security and molecular biology, and incorporating a new skill of plant breeding, she completed her Ph.D. at the University of Missouri. During that time, she was awarded a Borlaug Research Fellowship Grant. With funding from the Soybean Innovation Lab and the University of Missouri, she conducted field trials in northern Ghana to determine the genetic mechanisms controlling maturity in tropical soybeans. Following graduation, she worked as a pea breeder for Puris Foods in Oskaloosa, Iowa, before returning to the University of Missouri as a U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service postdoctoral fellow focused on using bioinformatic tools to identify and validate candidate genes.

William “Elmer” Boesl A graveside service was held on Saturday, September 19, 2020, at St. Edward’s Cemetery in Nekoma for William “Elmer” Boesl, 93, of Fargo, passed away Wednesday, September 9, 2020, at Rosewood on Broadway in Fargo. Elmer was born June 26, 1927, at Wales, to Peter and Helen (Schuler) Boesl. He grew up and attended school in the Mt. Carmel area. In 1948, he joined the US Army, completing his basic training at Ft. Lewis, Washington. He was then called up in 1950 and went overseas for duty in the Korean Conflict. He received many awards including a Purple Heart and Silver Star before

being honorably discharged in December of 1951. He married Dorothy Schons on December 28, 1957, in Langdon. Together, they had eight children. Dorothy passed away in 1989. He then married Jean Biby on August 15, 1998, at Churches Ferry. He worked in various grain elevators and drove semi and truck for various companies throughout his life. He was a jack-of-all-trades who enjoyed tinkering and fixing all things. He did woodworking and made several wonderful creations for anyone who asked. One of his specialties was children’s adirondack chairs. He enjoyed learning and visiting with everyone. He was quick with a comment or opinion but truly loved having conversations with everyone. His sense of humor, handshakes, and hugs will be greatly missed.

Surviving Elmer are wife Jean; his children: Randy (Mona) Boesl of Covington, Wash., Rick Boesl of Ryrie, ID, Toni (Alan) Halvorson of Casselton, Helen Nelson, Steve “Beaver” Boesl, Dan Boesl of Kemp, TX, and Jackie (Steve) Johnson of Clark, Colo.; 14 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; siblings: Emeric (Faye) Boesl and Leona (Pat) Howatt – both of Langdon; and several wonderful nieces and nephews.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Chris Collier of First Baptist Church

We read in Hebrews 10:24-25, “And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching (CSB).” Given the circumstances surrounding COVID, how do we balance not neglecting our fellowship with our concerns for our health and safety? For many people, the ability to worship with our home church via online streaming has become our goto option, and this has been a great blessing for many of us. But is the online gathering a viable long-term solution for church attendance? Many people were online-only worshippers prior to the COVID crisis. The question we must ask in ourselves is, what is the purpose of going to church? I did not ask what the purpose of church is because the church is made up of those who follow our Lord Jesus Christ; the gathering of the church is what we are examining. If we look at Acts 2:42 we some reasons for the gathering of the saints, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.” There are many good things we can achieve online. You can study the word, share the gospel, and even do all your Bible reading online. There are a great number of sermons and studies online - it is easy to find something to help

us grow in our faith. We can even build online communities of people who are virtually gathering from around the world to meet and study together. It may seem like these online options are better than a physical meeting of the saints, but there are some things that we have need of that the online environments just cannot provide. We see some things in the few verses that the online experience inherently lacks. One of the biggest is fellowship. God created us as communal creatures. We need fellowship for various reasons in our spiritual development. Fellowship provides us the ability to serve one another. Physical assembly reminds us that we are not just spiritual beings but that we exist together and have a common purpose. It can be tempting in these times to move to a mindset that the convenience of online worship makes it a viable long-term option. As individuals we are the only ones who know our comfort levels and our risk levels in these times and are the only ones who can make the decision to attend physically or virtually. The virtual gathering is a great temporary alternative - a great option in times we are physically barred from gathering, but it does not meet all that God intends for worship to be. So, gather virtually until it is safe for you to return, but let’s not let this become a replacement for the fellowship of believers.

Throughout the school year we have a number of fundraisers the community can participate in to help us earn cash for our awesome school. Why is that so important to us? Our budget is created with “donations” as a budget line because we are a private school and do not receive state funding like public schools. We are able to provide such a high level of education because of the great community support we receive through donations and fundraisers. Money raised through our general fundraising efforts is used for things like updating technology and curriculum materials, while some of our fundraisers fill specific needs. Little Caesars® Pizza Kit Fundraising Program - This is a favorite program of our community, and many look forward to getting their pizza kits! We kicked off this fundraiser on Tuesday, September 8, and it runs through Wednesday, September 23. The more pizza kits our

Schill claims NLRA Late Model finale during John Seitz Memorial By Mike Spieker The 23rd season for the NLRA Late Models came to a close on Thursday night during the Prelude to the Johnny at River Cities Speedway with a season-high 50 teams checked in. Lance Schill, who made his return to late models in 2020, scored his first career NLRA win and his third late model win at River Cities Speedway of the season. Schill brought the 27-car field to the green flag for the 25-lap $1,492-to-win main event. After a couple of early cautions, Schill took command of the race lead and built up a comfortable advantage. Schill found himself mired in heavy lapped traffic at the midway point of the race, which allowed Joey Pederson and Aaron Turnbull to close in. With nine to go, Schill was having trouble getting around lapped traf-

fic. Pederson drove around Schill to take the point, but just as he did, a lapped car spun in front of Schill and Turnbull to bring out the yellow. The last completed lap showed Schill as the leader which put the No. 17 back out front for the ensuing restart. Pederson pulled alongside Schill in turns one and two on the restart, but couldn’t muster up the speed to drive by him again. Schill withstood the pressure while Turnbull took second. Schill went on to claim “the biggest win of his career” as the Langdon driver put it in RydellCars.com Victory Lane after the race. Turnbull, 2020 NLRA series champion Dustin Strand, Jeffrey Massingill and AJ Diemel rounded out the top five. “This is pretty awesome,” said Schill. “It’s been a dream (to win the Seitz Memorial); there’s not a better

race or a better memorial for a better guy. Just to be a part of it is awesome. Then for my wife to draw us the pole... I was just going to try to run it as hard as I could.” On Saturday night, Schill visited victory lane once again. Schill bested a full field of Happy Harry’s Bottle Shops WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds. Schill took advantage of a lap five restart to move from third to the lead with passes over Jaden Varnson and Nate Reynolds. The restart on lap seven was quickly halted by the red flag. Reynolds spun in turn four coming to green and was collected by Les Schoon. From there, seven other drivers had nowhere to go and piled into each other. All drivers were okay. Schill went on to pick up his fifth Midwest Mod win of the season at the Bullring over Mike Nichols.

Flu vaccine season is approaching The flu season will soon be upon us, and it’s time to begin thinking about getting your flu and/or pneumococcal immunizations. This year influenza vaccine will be especially important to prevent the burden of vaccine preventable influenza on our healthcare systems who will also need to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Who should get influenza vaccine? All people 6 months of age and older should get an annual influenza vaccine. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of severe influenza and their close contacts, including healthcare personnel, close contacts of children younger than 6 months and adults over the age of 65. High-Dose influenza vaccine for adults age 65 supplies may be variable throughout the season. Ask about availability at clinics. Influenza can occur at any time, but most influenza occurs from No-

vember through May. In recent seasons, most infections have occurred in January and February. For all school age children – influenza vaccine clinics will be held in all Cavalier County schools. Watch for more information being sent home with all students or check the Cavalier County Public Health website. Flu vaccine clinics in the Cavalier County will start in October and continue through November. Vaccine will continue to be available throughout the winter months while supplies last. Make a commitment to staying healthy this winter by getting your flu and/or pneumococcal shots preferably in October. For more information, contact the public health office at 701-2562402 or contact your healthcare provider. Save time -fill out and print your forms at www.cavaliercountyhealth.com prior to attending flu vaccine clinics.

Cards get second shutout of the season, make quick work of Rugby to go to 4-0

Grant Romfo has 282 all-purpose yards and 5 TDs in win

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team had both Senior Night and Homecoming when they hosted Rugby on September 11. Simon Romfo, Grant Romfo, Cooper Zimmer, Alex Cluchie, Drew Simpson and Skyler Fincher were all honored before the game along with their parents. On the field the Cards treated their fans to another great performance on both sides of the ball to win the game 48-0. With the victory the Cardinals are now 4-0 on the season, and 2-0 in Region 2A games. After playing at HarveyWells County on September 18, Langdon-Edmore-Munich will host Westhope-Newburg-Glenburn on September 25. The Cards opened the game by stopping Rugby on their opening drive then scoring on their second play from scrimmage, a 68 yard touchdown scamper by Simon Romfo on a quarterback keeper.

After that it was the Grant Romfo show, as he would score five touchdowns, all in the first half. The first two were on passes from his brother from 15 and 38 yards out, the last three on runs of 66, three and three yards. The second half was highlighted by Cooper Zimmer, who played the whole game at halfback for the first time in his career, scoring his first-ever rushing touchdown in the third quarter from three yards away to cap the scoring. Grant Romfo also had a 70 yard kickoff return in the game to finish with 282 yards of total offense. He had 75 yards rushing on six carries, plus 137 yards receiving on five catches. Simon Romfo went 11 of 14 passing with 248 yards and two TDs. Markus Kingzett also had three receptions for 78 yards. Gage Goodman came up with an interception and nice run back on defense to help keep Rugby scoreless for the game.

Lady Cards split latest two matches; Drop to #3 in state poll Lowery ties program record with 14 aces versus Rolette

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich volleyball got to a busier part of their schedule recently when they lost to Thompson on the road 3-2 on September 10 then answered back in a big way, beating Rolette at home 3-0 in their first Region 4 match of the season. The Lady Cards are now 2-1 on the season, and after playing in Walhalla versus North Border on September 17, they play at home against Carrington on September 19. They will host Benson County on September 22, which will be Senior Night. The Cardinals three seniors: Lexi Olson, Kaylee Lowery and Raelynn Klindt will be honored before the match. Here is a recap of the Lady Cards last two matches: Thompson 3, Langdon-EdmoreMunich 2 The momentus swings in girls volleyball can be one tidal wave after another, and that's how the Cardinals game at Thompson went. Thompson won a back and forth first set 25-19, pulling away late. The Cards showed just how powerful they can be in sets two and four, playing very efficiently and winning by scores of 25-11 and 25-14.

BOXSCORE

THOMPSON 25-11-25-14-15 LANGDON-EDMORE-MUNICH 19-25-17-25-13 Kills -- LEM: 58 (Morgan Freije 19, Lexi Olson 16, Cora Badding 15); T: 44 (Lexy Telehey 12, Maddie Stefonowicz 12) Assists -- LEM: 56 (Jaylynn Swanson 48) Aces -- LEM: 13 (Kaylee Lowery 6); T: 2 Digs -- LEM: 82 (Olson 21, Lowery 20, Marlee Heteltved 14)

With the match tied at two sets apiece, Langdon-Edmore-Munich looked like they would win the marathon in the fifth set when Kaylee Lowery came out and served the first six points. The Lady Cards would also have comfortable leads at 7-1, 8-4 and 10-5 in the final frame, but Thompson would rally and take advantage of several Cardinals missed serves down the stretch. The Tommies outscored the Cards 10-3 for 15-13 win. In the tough loss, Morgan Freije had a team high 19 kills, followed by Lexi Olson with 16 and Cora Badding with 15. Freshman setter Jalynn Swanson had a remarkable 48 assists, while Lowery led the team with six aces. The Cards

had 35 unforced errors in the match compared to 24 by Thompson. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Rolette 0 The Lady Cards showed no ill effects of the close loss in Thompson when they hosted Rolette in a Region 4 match on September 15. Langdon-Edmore-Munich was dominant throughout, finishing the match with 30 service aces as a team. Cardinals senior Kaylee Lowery had a match to remember; she served 24 straight points to help the Cards win the second set 25-0. Lowery had 14 service aces in the match, which ties the record for the Lady Cards program with Steph Stremick in 1994 and Sydney Ellingson, who also did it in 2016. Lexi Olson led the Cards with 11 kills, followed by Morgan Freije with 10. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had just seven unforced errors in the entire match.

BOXSCORE

LANGDON-EDMORE-MUNICH 25-25-25 ROLETTE 4-0-10 Kills -- LEM: 30 (Lexi Olson 11, Morgan Freije 10, Morgan Thielbar 4) Aces -- LEM: 30 (Kaylee Lowery 14, Olson 6, Freije 4)

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

COVID-19 beginning cause problems with area teams As we knew all along, this fall sports season would be a slippery slope to get games and seasons in. While it has been going as good or maybe even better than expected, there have been some schools that have had to shut down activities for the moment, Kindred, Williston, and now as close as Four Winds, all have either postponed activities or have even had to shut down and go back to distance learning for two weeks. Even Langdon-EdmoreMunich has had a few issues, although it has not resulted in pausing anything, thankfully. But as most of you read these words, we are about to go five weeks into the football season, a mark some said would never happen at the start of the year. So let's just enjoy each week as best we can, and hope that

things keep going in positive direction. Senior Night planned for Sept. 22 for Lady Cards volleyball With the danger of COVID-19 always looming these days, normal things planned normally for the end of the regular season are being moved up to make sure they get in. This is the same for Senior Night for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich volleyball team, which will now be held before the match against Benson County in Langdon on Sept. 22. Lady Cards seniors Lexi Olson, Kaylee Lowery and Raelyn Klindt will be honored before the match with their parents. Lowery had a special moment recently, as she tied a program record for LangdonEdmore-Munich volleyball with 14 aces in a match win at home over Rolette on Sept. 15. There is a slight chance she may have had 15 which would give the record exclusively, but for now she a tied with Steph Stremick who set it in 1994, and Sydney Ellingson, who had 14 aces in a match in 2016. Hopefully those that can make the match on Sept.

22 will do so to applaud all three Cardinals seniors and great careers. The Cards football team had their Senior Night and also Homecoming on Sept. 11. Cardinals Cross Country to host their annual Harvey Hope Invitational The Langdon-Edmore-Munich cross country teams have been getting several meets in the last couple of weeks. But Sept. 21 will be a special day, as its their turn to host a meet. The Harvey Hope Invitational Meet will be held at the Langdon Country Club on that day, with the boys and girls starting at 4:00 p.m. The meet is named in Harvey's honor, as he was a big part of keeping the cross country program alive, along with Roger Snortland. Both men have passed away, but certainly not forgotten on helping make the teams what they are today. The weather looks perfect for running, maybe even a little too warm with a high of 75 degrees. Cardinals football is home to Westhope Sept. 25! "See ya!" next week!

During CPS week, parents and caregivers are encouraged to educate themselves on these best practices: Don’t rush the four steps to child passenger safety. Make sure children are properly buckled in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt – whichever is appropriate for their weight, height and age. Every step towards the seat belt offers a little less protection for the child. The back seat is safer than the front seat. Transport children younger than 13 years of age in the back seat or second row of the vehicle. When using a forward-facing car seat, remember to use the tether strap. In a crash, the tether keeps the top of a forward-facing car seat from being thrown forward, preventing serious head and neck injuries. When using the lower anchors and tether (LATCH) system in the vehicle, do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum

anchor weight load limits listed on the car seat sticker or in the manufacturer’s instructions. Child Passenger Safety Week concludes with National Seat Check Saturday on September 26, when certified child passenger safety technicians will be available at car seat check events to offer advice and instruction to caregivers. Checks will be available at Sanford Children’s Urgent Care Clinic located at 2701 13th Ave S in Fargo from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and at Puklich Chevrolet located at 3701 State St in Bismarck from 9 a.m. to noon. To learn more about child passenger safety and find other ND seat checkups, visit www.health.nd.gov/northdakota-child-passenger-safety or call 1-800-472-2286. To find more information on Vision Zero, a ND initiative to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads, visit VisionZero.ND.gov.

Wondering if their child is buckled in the correct car seat is a common question asked by many parents and caregivers. The North Dakota Department of Transportation and the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) encourage caregivers to learn about current best practices for child passenger safety during Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Week, Sept. 20-26. The NDDoH collects data from car seat checkups completed in the state to help focus education efforts to caregivers who transport young children. Of the car seats checked in 2019, 70% had some form of misuse. “One of your top priorities as a parent is keeping your child safe,” said Dawn Mayer, NDDoH Child Passenger Safety Program Director. “Following best practices and making sure your child is in the correct seat are proven ways to decrease motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries.”

August 18, 2020 On August 18, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the courthouse was open by appointment only, with limited audience capacity in the meeting rooms. Webex was utilized for the meeting and made available in the north meeting room. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. David Zeis made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz pointed out typographical change to the minutes. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes with the noted change, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. The following presented department updates: Clerk of Court, VSO, Public Health, Recorder, Tax Director, and Social Services. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners and reviewed project status report. There was discussion on

digging out the soft spots on County 13, as well as the timeline to bid the gravel project for next year. It was decided to wait and see if there is gravel left from the McLean pit. Future plans for County 55 through the gorge were discussed, to include possibly adding culverts to alleviate the water running across the road. Daley suggested watching for grant opportunities, possibly from ND Parks and Recs. Courthouse restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic were reviewed. It was decided to end the “by appointment only” restriction and leave masks “highly recommended” on the signs at each entrance. Leon Hiltner, VSO, introduced Steven Anderson, who will be training to take over the VSO position. Hiltner stated they will be going to conference/training October 24-26 in Fargo, and that Anderson will also be starting his accreditation training. Hiltner stated he will continue to keep his accreditation current so he is available to help, if needed. Nick Moser suggested that he, Austin Lafrenz and Lisa Gellner, meet to set the starting pay for Anderson. The commissioners were in agreement. It was also decided to replace the VSO computer with a laptop, which

would be covered with the current department budget. Austin Lafrenz made a motion, seconded by Greg Goodman to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: T R WAIND INSURANCE AGENCY, GENERAL/WEED____4,099.00 LANGDON AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, COMMISSIONERS_ _________________________ 175.00 QUADIENT FINANCE USA, INC, GENERAL_______________ 2,000.00 NICK MOSER, GENERAL___ 45.00 CAROL GOODMAN, GENERAL__ __________________________ 45.00 ELSIE MAGNUS, GENERAL______ __________________________ 45.00 STANLEY DICK, GENERAL______ __________________________ 45.00 PAUL HENDERSON, GENERAL__ __________________________ 45.00 LAWRENCE HENRY, GENERAL__ __________________________ 45.00 NORTHEAST REGIONAL WATER, ROAD & BRIDGE__________ 55.00 RAZOR TRACKING, INC., ROAD & BRIDGE________________ 200.00 ADVANCED BUSINESS METHODS, CLERK/AUD/RECORD/FM________________________ 657.24 CAVALIER COUNTY TREASURER, 2017 FEMA ROAD FUND_____ _______________________99,923.82 WEST HOPE TOWNSHIP CLERK/ TREASURER, 2017 FEMA ROAD FUND__________________ 10,690.20 CAVALIER COUNTY REPUBLICAN, AUDITOR/TAX DIRECTOR_ __________________________ 82.00 SEACHANGE PRINT INNOVATIONS, ELECTIONS_______ 103.33 DOCUMENT OUTPUT CENTER LLC, TREASURER________ 2,070.90 MATTHEW-BENDER & CO.

By Rita Maisel

The Right to Vote August 26, 2020, marked the centennial of voting rights for women in the United States, and the Cavalier County Republican had a good story about the passing of the 19th Amendment which brought this right to local women. The library also has an interesting display on the Amendment and its history. Not wanting to duplicate their efforts I wanted to write about votes for women in Langdon, ND, and that is where I ran into what might best be called a brick wall. Reading old newspapers in the 1970s had revealed some entertaining little stories about early Langdon politics, but if any women were involved - they were not elected to political positions. There was no memory of any history lessons telling when women first voted! I had first heard of suffragettes when watching the movie “Mary Poppins.” That movie was set in England, and Mrs. Banks, the mother of the children Mary took care of, was an active suffragette. I was sure there could be a story in Langdon’s earlier history that I should find for a column. However, where the notes might be was a mystery, and the original early newspapers are not only too fragile to read, but the courthouse has been basically on lockdown for several months. The search began with my personal collection of odds and ends which turned up excerpts from Alexander Henry’s Journal (late 1700s) and the subsequent fur trade eras, a book or two about the journeys of Lewis and Clark (1800s), and a copy of the 1850 census of Minnesota which contained names and places in parts of what would soon be Dakota Territory. All of these were before the rights of voting reached our area. The Centennial issue of the North Dakota Blue Book had dates and political information such as Dakota Territory was established by the federal government in 1861 with the first legislature held at Yankton and the first governor, William Jayne, appointed by President Lincoln. Even before that time, forts had been established, and steamships were travelling to Winnipeg on the Red River and to Fort Union on the Missouri. Homesteads began near Pembina in 1862 with Charles Bottineau’s claim in Pembina County. Cavalier County was not organized until July 8, 1884, and the election that fall listed only men on the ballot or elected. Even the wives who

served lunch to the voters were not named. The first legislative mention of Langdon appears in the January through March 1885 session of the Territorial Legislature held in Bismarck with Patrick McHugh representing Langdon and Judson LaMoure representing Pembina. Up to this point, legislative sessions had been held at Yankton. The towns represented in 1885 appear to mark the north/south split in territorial representation. There were interim committee meetings and, in early copies of the Cavalier County Courier, beginning late in 1885, reporters had mentioned McHugh as “friendly with suffragettes” demonstrating at these meetings. His wife and daughter Anna also attended some of these events, and it is possible the demonstrators were people they knew. It is also possible the newspaper at that time was owned by another potential politician who used the item in the paper as criticism that might help his future campaign. The group elected to serve as the 1887 delegates to the legislature were John Bidlake of Olga and P. C. Donovan of Neche. Bidlake lived first at Beaulieu and later at Osnabrock, while Donovan had land interests at Neche and an early bank at Langdon. In the same era, McHugh served on a committee that met with politicians from Wyoming on topics concerning state boundaries. I did not find out how the subject of women voters might have colored the conversations of that meeting, but women in Wyoming received voting rights along with statehood. For general elections North Dakota did not receive that privilege with statehood. The constitution in the Blue Book uses all male terms in describing those eligible for voting. The four men elected for the legislature in 1888 were Patrick McHugh and Benjamin Rush Glick from Langdon and Joseph Powles and John McBride from Milton. They were the group who compiled the State Constitution. However, the first woman to vote in Langdon is thought to have voted before statehood and was not a member of the McHugh family. This event was a school election probably in 1888. The Langdon School had outgrown its former location near the present day CCMH or clinic which was considered a township or rural school. A new board was elected and purchased or was given the block which is now the home of the Activity Center. The first unit of the Twin School was built in 1889. John Mahon was elected to the school board at that time and headlines in a Langdon

paper read “Mrs. John Mahon, first woman to cast her ballot in Langdon.” John Mahon served on that board until the last of their children graduated from Langdon High School and went on to UND. Mrs. Mahon had cast her ballot to help elect her husband. She went on to help decorate, make decisions and claim both that school building and the one that followed as her special mission in life. When the cornerstone boxes were opened later, boards learned that Mrs. Mahon’s fingerprints were apparently on all of the items contained in those receptacles. When I questioned the legality of all this several years ago, I was told “no one argued with Mrs. Mahon". It is possible that with so many women teachers a special exemption was made for voting in school elections. Langdon did have a group of WCTU who remained active until about 1980. In general, suffrage for women became a major cause for WCTU groups across the nation. Elizabeth Preston Anderson, wife of the pastor at Drayton, Fargo and elsewhere, was well known in the Langdon area and headed the North Dakota unit of WCTU for many years. The town also had a built-in suffragette leader, Cora Ross Clark, the daughter and possibly granddaughter of military leaders from the Mexican and Civil Wars. Cora was trained in elocution, and after marrying Charlie Clark, barber and horse trader, she spoke for many groups and encouraged her children to follow in her footsteps. Actress Betsy Ross Clark, written about in previous columns, was her daughter. I stumbled on a part of her history when reading the abstract for our house as it had been Charlie and Cora’s original home. Another Clark house (home of Charlie’s mother) was part of the house across the alley from us. Cora’s brother Frank Ross sold his original claim to J. F. Ramage, and Langdon’s elementary school is now on that land. Women in general did not run

for public offices, but some very capable women found desks at the Langdon Courthouse. Helen Sullivan, who ran against male candidates for county superintendent, left her mark on that office before going on to graduate training in New York and a teaching career at UND. Like a number of other early homesteaders, one of my grandfathers was a supporter of Theodore Roosevelt following Teddy from the Republican party to the progressive or Bull Moose side in the 1912 election, which Roosevelt lost. As a result, all the children in the family grew up hearing about politics, and it was a special time when the two older boys were allowed to vote. But in large families some of the older children are girls, and there did come a time when the girls wanted to vote as well. Grandpa did not think education for girls was important. If they could read and write a little that would be enough. Some country schools had only primary grades with both children and parents learning to read and write. Successful country school teachers would be hired for town schools and encouraged students to come to Langdon or Hannah or Milton to further their education. My aunts, Adeline and Clara, came to Langdon for this reason, working for Langdon families. Some of the families they worked for moved away and invited them to work in other communities. Along with other friends, these two went to Grand Forks where Adeline worked for a druggist’s family (with roots in Hay Township) and Clara worked for a doctor with relatives in Hannah. Neighbors were often professors at UND. Grand Forks did have women campaigning to vote. Around 1911 a younger sister, Pearl, was a winner at the county fair in the County Spelling Bee held under the guidance of Helen Sullivan. At that time rural schools did not all go to eighth grade, and Pearl wanted to be a teacher. Following in her sister’s footsteps she got a job in Langdon working for her room

and board and was able to finish 8th grade. The next step would be high school, and Grandpa said No. No teachers in our family. Pearl became a telephone operator. Mabel, the next daughter, set her sights on something higher. She would work in a bank. To do that you had to go to business school. With Adeline and Clara working in Grand Forks, Mabel took the train to Ackers Business College and was soon working in a bank near Rugby. About that time, voting rights for women became a national issue, and the 19th Amendment was passed. The four older sisters voted in the 1920 election and continued that practice as long as they were able. The result of this practice meant that my mother also took voting very seriously, and I grew up with some excellent role models. When I was a child, it appeared that in many homes the father decided how the members of the household would vote. My grandfather had apparently practiced that rule, so other relatives and neighbors took it upon themselves to instruct my mother and her sisters on how they should vote. Our home was deluged by political advice and instructions. Listening to all this, I asked questions. My mother let me walk with her to the school gym where Langdon residents voted. I had to stand by the door and not go with her to the booth. She described it as a “secret ballot”, and only the voter could know how that voter had marked their ballot. When my oldest aunt, Adeline, was 90 and living at the Osnabrock Home, she let us know she wanted to vote in the presidential election. The candidates were Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. After her brother brought her campaign souvenirs and too much advice, she took great pleasure in cancelling her brother’s vote. As a result, I asked about her favorite president, and with no hesitation at all, she said “President Wilson.” Wilson was before my time so I asked why. She was quick to respond: “He gave women the vote.”
