Today, there are approximately 1.3 million active duty service men and women with an additional 800,000 in the various reserves. The chance that a service member will find their partner for life among those ranks became a reality for two area Navy veterans, Jerry and Lisa Nowatzki. Jerry, a native of the Langdon area, joined the Navy in November of 1987. The decision to join came after his apprenticeship as a lineman in Montana ended due to lay-offs. At the time, he played softball with a group of military recruiters which lead him to a new career choice. “The Navy one told me I could be a lineman in the Navy with the Construction Battalion (CB’s). Once I had talked with the recruiter more, I decided to be a Communications Electrician on submarines; it paid Petty Officer 3rd Class Lisa Nowatzki and Senior Chief Petty Officer Jerry Nowatzki met and married while both served in the U.S. Navy more,” Jerry shared.

LASD deficit spends $1.2 million in three years To say that things have not been going well for the Langdon Area School District is an understatement. The recent defeat of the request for an increase in the building mill levy is no longer the focus of the board and administration as the school goes into crisis mode to stop their monetary bleeding. The school board meetings over the last few months have dealt heavily with the board and administration focusing on a budget that is in the red. LASD Superintendent Daren Christianson recently informed the board that the school finished the 2018/2019 school year with a $286,000 deficit. That report, along with the fact that the 2019/2020 school budget had been made and approved at a projected deficit of approximately $300,000, caused the board to immediately convene subcommittee meetings to attempt to economized spending. “The district has historically ran a deficit to try and get it down. The state of North Dakota allows a school district to carry over 35 percent of their budget in carry-over monies- money in the bank, basically, if you want to call it that. At one time, the district was in a position where they had excess carry-over money, and they had to spend over and deficit spend in order to get that level down,” Christianson said. In 2008, the school board dropped the general mill levy
from 155 mills to 100 mills for the 2009 school year and then made another drastic cut in 2010 bringing the general mill levy to 60. From there, the school board then began to navigate the funding of the school in such a way that revenue brought in matched as closely as possible to what was needed to spend for that year’s budget. This attempt, however, has been hampered by North Dakota Century Code (NDCC) 57-15-14.2 which says the district could only implement yearly mill increases at 12 percent. What makes things even more difficult is that the district has now maxed out their mill levy (NDCC 15.1-27-04.3) which has been capped at just 70 mills. What started over a decade ago as an attempt to bring the burgeoning interim fund to within state-mandated levels thanks to a change in century code (NDCC 15.1-27-35.3) has now spiraled into a massive overspending as the school district has gone through upheavals in its administration, business office, and the need to hire additional teaching staff as numbers have exploded in the grade school. “Getting accurate numbers for carry-overs was difficult,” Christianson explained. “With the change-over in the business department and so forth and with the numbers that were available to us along with the advice we got from our auditor, we felt we

were in the right place.” The reports tell a tale of expectations not being met as the last time the school had a surplus in their budget was in 2016. With a budget of just over $4.9 million, the school brought in a little over $5 million, giving them breathing room with $80,000 left over in their budget. The years spanning 2017 through 2020 years show deficit spending of approximately $600,332. With the explosion in student population, the district has had to hire several new staff members to meet the educational requirements of the elementary school. These additional salaries and expenses compounded with an overestimation of revenue expected from the state when budgets were being made, caused the school to rely on their only other source of funding. "One of the reasons we deficit spent, that we weren't aware of, is that we didn't get as much money from the state as we anticipated. We added more teachers mid-stream because of our enrollment," LASD Board President Cindy Stremrick said. In order to compensate, the district has been using their savings and CDs to cover the bills when the school’s checking account did not have sufficient funds. Business manager Shauna Schneider explained that from 2017 to the 2019, the school has had to withdraw $967,793.52 cont. on page 2
devotion, and endurance. I learned how to deal with death and how to honor the fallen with life. No experience was wasted, and I am a better person because of my military service," Lisa shared. Lisa viewed being a woman in the military like every other profession: the job and life were what she chose to make of it. She didn’t feel she had things harder or easier because she was a woman. Lisa explained that she has always thought she could do anything if she decided she wanted to do it. Her time in the Navy was time wellspent. As a woman in the military, Lisa has only one recollection of a man, who was actually one of her supervisors, making a sexist remark to her. “I was working on a piece of equipment when he came over to me, shook his head, and said, 'Chicks with tools.' I knew he meant that I was a woman in a man’s place, doing a man’s job. Yes, his comment and attitude made me angry, but it also made me more determined to prove him wrong, and I did,” Lisa said. Jerry and Lisa first met when they were both on shore duty, meaning they were assigned to a Navy base rather than on the ship for Lisa and a submarine for Jerry. The two worked together for a little over a year before Jerry was promoted to Chief Petty Officer (E8). He transferred from the department they both worked at to atcont. on page 2
Gilseth named District FCCLA President Dustin Gilseth, a junior at Langdon Area High School (LAHS), has been elected as the 2019-20 District President for District 3 North Dakota Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). The gavel was passed during the installation ceremony from Kiarra Hodek, also a member of the LAHS FCCLA, 2018-19 District 3 President. Gilseth had to complete an application and resume before the District Leadership meeting. At the District Leadership meeting all candidates gave a 3-minute speech and answered some FCCLA questions in front of everyone. The candidates then answered more FCCLA questions for the voting delegates. Each chapter has two voting delegates at the meeting that vote for their chapter. “At first I was worried about running because I’m involved
in a lot of clubs and have a couple jobs. I thought I was way too busy to run for District President. My adviser, Mrs. Kram, talked to me about it and said that this would be an awesome thing for me because I'm so outgoing, but it is a two person job, so we would have to work together,” Gilseth explained. “ A n d when she said that, somet h i n g clicked. I told myself that in the long run, this will be perfect for me and our District.” T h e FCCLA elections are set up so that the adviser of the District President fills the position of District Advisor, which means that Gilseth and Kram will work closely together to plan necessary events. Personal growth and leadership development are at the forefront of the FCCLA mission. By completing service-learning projcont. on page 3

County denies CHS tax incentive amidst deficit concerns The Cavalier County Commission held a short meeting on Tuesday, November 5 to discuss county business. The primary topic of discussion was CHS, Inc.’s request for a tax incentive and the possible hiring of a roadmen foreman. CHS, Inc. was represented by their general manager for the area, Jason Edwards, and Travis Peterson, an agronomy manager for CHS, who put forward their request for 50 percent tax incentive on the new fertilizer facility currently being built south of Langdon. The facility is nearing completion, and the goal is to begin filling by the middle of December with a roll-out date of February. The expectation is that the facility will bring two to three jobs to Langdon. However, Edwards explained that some of these employees will be coming from Milton. “One of the reasons we are seeking the tax abatement is to help replenish our working capital,” Edwards explained. Within the past few years, CHS has invested $17 million for the grain terminal south of Langdon, and the newest fertilizer facility is another $9.6 million that has been invested within Cavalier County. Within the state of North Dakota, Edwards informed the Commission CHS has sought 50 percent tax with success incentives being granted. The most recent tax incentive approved for a CHS facility was in Gwinner with a 50 percent reduction in taxes. The Cavalier County Commission reviewed the application but had several concerns with granting the reduction in taxes. Commissioner Nick Moser sited some concerns with the application, specifically with the company’s response to the question of proximity of business competitors. The Commission noted that there are several competitors to the new CHS fertilizer facility, and a few are within half a mile of the location. The Commission does not want to give undue advantage to CHS over its competitors which is a directive within the North Dakota State Century Code. The commissioners wants to avoid the loss of any current businesses. Another concern the Commission had was the lost revenue from the taxes the fa-
cility will bring to the county at a time when deficit spending is occurring. “The way you have got everything estimated out, the amount of tax exemption would be $46,000 a year, so with inflation in taxes I would estimate close to half a million dollars over ten years,” Moser said. Cavalier County Tax Director Steph Bata informed the commissioners that the Department of Commerce did not have anything to add to the requirements for the application but did note that CHS should have listed a dollar amount for tax incentives rather than a percentage. Because it is a payment in lieu of tax, a dollar amount is required. Bata also informed the Commission that there is not currently an assessed value for the facility. Vanguard would be arriving prior to the February 1, 2020, deadline to assess the facility. “First of all, thank you for investing in our community. As a farmer and involved in business in this area, any type of investment that you get to make things better, to be more competitive and to help agriculture, in particular, is very, very important,” Commissioner Greg Goodman said. Goodman continued stating that as a county commission, they had to consider consistency. The idea of doing it for one means doing it for all. This also led to how those decisions would impact not just the county but schools and townships. The budget for 2020 is seeing an increase of 4 mills or roughly $200,000 to allow the county to operate. With those increased mills resulting in increased taxes, the county will still be deficit spending by approximately $400,000. “The misconception from the public to a certain degree is that if we don’t get this money from you guys and give you the full exemption that the county just doesn’t get the money. Well, that’s not true. What we do is pass on that percentage back onto everybody else to make that up. It’s a misconception, I hear it all the time,” Dick said. “Those that are paying the taxes have to pay more to make up for all those exemptions.” The Commission took a roll call vote for the request which

had unanimous support for denying the exemptions. The commissioners discussed at length the issue of potentially hiring a roadmen foreman to oversee the districts and employees currently in place. Goodman stated that he was adamantly against the creation of the position due to the current financial standing of the county. Goodman believed that if the commission pursued this, that the commissioners, themselves, should take a cut in pay as the duty to oversee the roadmen in each district fell to them. The discussion also included the amount of work that the roadmen are required to do. The handling of the roadmen was an intense discussion including many different areas like what townships, how many miles, and safety protocols that need to be followed. In Other Business • The Commission received an update on the Social Service redesign from Dick. Following a recent meeting of the interim committee, Dick gave the progress made including the agreements for the zone and updates from the state regarding changes that are still being made. • Cavalier County Road Supervisor Terry Johnston updated the commissioners on the culverts and roads. Johnston also explained that he would recommend keeping the emergency declaration in place as the spring will most likely have excessive damage due to the melt reported. Dick also stated that when these reports are being made to have comments regarding the water along the side of the road be noted. The reason he would like that done is because of the unique situation the area has with fish and wildlife in close proximity to the roads.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Butterfly Effect As any good consumer should do, understanding the labeling on food products has become a must. After all, the most successful marketing schemes are based on fundamentals of the human existence. One of them uses base desires while another seeks to utilize our own impulses against us. I refer to fear, and the weaponization of it, in the marketing world to make consumers buy into nonsense and waste money on things that otherwise would not be costly. “Organic” food and its production has its place as a niche market. However, I just have to say that having taste tested “organic” food versus the regular food, I prefer the regular food. The marketed “organic” food, for property's sake, tastes like dirt- awful, unappetizing, and always at least $2 more than its more commonly grown method.
All food is organic and is composed of chemicals. However, the use of marketing has taken people's fears about being healthy and amplified them to a near-paranoid level of suspicion. The butterfly effect that this is having on the way that food is both grown, processed, consumed, and even thought about has been astronomical. It's also leading to accusation of the current state of health for the general public. It must be the food! Or could it be that, as a society that has come to love instant gratification and the rise of entertainment that doesn't involve physical movement, has played its part? Perhaps it's the use of brain over brawn more often in the working environment that has lead to increased girth. Whatever the reason, successful marketing schemes will continue to prey upon the base instincts of humanity as a way to make money. Feed on the fear and provide the miracle for what ails that fear.
Report From the Legislature
Rep. Chuck Damschen R – District 10 The time and the seasons seem to have flown by, and there are a number of things that I’d like to touch on. Since the close of the 66th Legislative Session, the Water Topics Overview Committee has met once. The other interim committee that I am serving on as vice chair, Interim Natural Resources, has met twice. The focus of the interim committees is quite narrow in that they are limited to the parameters set by the study resolutions and Legislative Management. I received a call from the Pembina US Customs Office some weeks ago, alerting me of their plan to cut the hours at three of our ND Border
Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
A strange trend continues… Back in the late ‘70s and right out of high school, I worked for a flax straw processor called Olin. We traveled to various communities and processed farmers’ straw to be made into Bible pages and cigarette papers of all things. There was a period of about four months that we knew we were going to be working in Wishek so instead of staying in a hotel for four months, I rented a mobile home and then went to the post office and informed them I would like general delivery of my mail. The post office staff in Wishek bent over backward to oblige, and because I knew there were some letters coming my way, I stopped in the Wishek post office every two or three days and picked up the mail. After we left Wishek and went to Kulm, my mail went back to Hazelton where I lived because the Kulm job took far less time. People in Wishek and Kulm didn’t know who I was. By definition, I was a transient worker, but the post office wanted to make sure their customer service remained impeccable.
Fast forward 42 years, and we don’t write letters any longer, or if we do, they are in a professional capacity. Email has taken over as the preferred method of keeping up with friends who have moved away. We also don’t have the businesses on Main Street that we did in the 1970s, so many of us have gone to ordering products from the Internet, myself included. The largest majority of things I purchase online would be garden seeds. Because organic garden seeds are hard to find locally, I order them from various companies to get the varieties I want. Unfortunately, for some reason, garden seed companies have a problem with my address. Several companies’ websites tell me my physical address doesn’t exist, even though I’ve been living there for 13 years, and GPS knows exactly where it is. So, I put in my post office box number. The response, “We don’t ship to post office boxes.” This went on for a long time, but I think those seed companies know me well enough now that they override their ridiculous computer protocol. This past week, this situation really took on a whole new meaning. There is a multivitamin I take that is expensive to purchase in stores, so I did an Internet search to find a better deal. I found one from the company

that manufactures the vitamin. An order was placed, and I got the same old garbage- they don’t ship to a post office box and the street address doesn’t exist. OK, there’s always a plan B, right? I tried the order a third time to have it sent to my workplace and guess what, that address isn’t recognized either. It’s in a community of 1,000 people and bundles of mail come here every day. When I complained about this at work, it turns out the newspaper is having the same trouble with subscriptions. There’s a lady in a small town in Montana who has been a subscriber for 42 years and has always lived at the same address. Suddenly, her newspaper started coming back to the office as undeliverable for no apparent reason. Why is this happening? What could have gone wrong since the fall of 1977 that would have caused this? Who makes the decision to rule out my home address and my workplace address? I’ve been told these companies use GPS to locate us, so when I installed a new car stereo in my vehicle, I wanted to see if GPS actually worked because Fed Ex and UPS have both delivered some of my seed orders to the wrong address. When I left Minot one day, I punched in my address to see where it would take me, to see if it would get me lost. Guess what? It took me right to my driveway, so how can so many people get it so wrong? I’d like to be able to trace this thing from my computer to one of those seed companies and back because there is obviously some issue along the way. After that vitamin company decided they didn’t want my money, I sent them an email and said look, I’ve lived here 13 years and I know this is a legitimate address. Besides, the county’s emergency management team knows exactly where it is too, I checked with them. The answer came back that their IT team is working on it. Dominoes Pizza can deliver to a fish house on a lake with time and precision. How can they do that when others can’t recognize a legitimate address?
stations, including Windy Gates at Maida. My immediate reaction was to say that I was certain that our constituents would be concerned about the effect that would have on the camping, entertainment/restaurant and other local businesses. By the time this goes to print, a public meeting will have taken place in Langdon. Canada does not have plans to reduce their office hours at this time. I also received a call from the ND contact for the TC pipeline in Walsh County. He was informing me that a leak had been discovered approximately three miles from Edinburg, ND. I’m sure many of you are well informed of the details of this incident, but I’ll share a few facts. According to their ND contact, the spill affected an area about one half the size of a football field. The volume of oil is estimated to be about 9120 barrels. The sight has been secured and cleanup operations are under way. The protection and safety of people in the area is the priority for the pipeline company. I am disappointed that the leak occurred but am encouraged that the pressure monitoring of the pipeline proved to be an effective means of detecting and locating
the pipeline leak. This system has been discussed and encouraged by the Energy and Natural Resources Committee at length. There are strict state laws addressing cleanup and site safety and soil restoration, as well. Be sure to report anything that you suspect might be a pipeline leak. I was honored to attend and participate in the 100th anniversary of the Langdon American Legion Post. I don’t believe we can overstate the importance, value, and dedication of our men and women who serve or have served in the military. THANK YOU to all of them. I wish the building had been packed. It was a very nice event. I will take this opportunity to close this edition without going into any details about harvest. It has not been pretty, to put it mildly. My wheat is still in the swath. If it’s getting to you, just talk to somebody. Many are in similar situations and sometimes, knowing that can soften the blow. Have a great Thanksgiving knowing that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated after more difficult circumstances than ours! Until next time, God bless.
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. For more information on choosing treatment, go to https://www. narconon-suncoast.org/blog/ long-term-treatment-vs-traditional28-day-program.html. If you are in need of a referral to a treatment center, call us at 877-841-5509. Written by: John Milburn Clearwater, FL, 33755

Munich FFA Earns National Gold The Munich FFA Chapter earned a gold team award at the National FFA Meat-judging Contest. The contest consists of the fifty state champions from across the nation competing against each other. The contestants must ‘beef’ able to identify all the retail cuts of beef, pork, and lamb. They must also have to identify the species of the cut, the primal area of the cut and the proper cooking method for the cut. The students then are given six classes to place (pork loins, porterhouse steaks, beef carcasses, pork carcasses, ribeye steaks, and beef loins). Each class consists of four individual cuts that must be placed in order from most desirable to least desirable. The students are asked ten questions relating to two of the classes. The students are also required to quality and yield grade beef carcasses according to USDA standards. The final phase of the individual portion of the contest is to take a 50-question test on the meat industry. When the students finish the individual portion of the contest, they then must complete four different team activities. The team activities can be any four of the following: pork carcass pricing, keep/cull, beef carcass value pricing, ground meat formulation, a variety of shopping scenarios for retail cuts and anatomy of the major bones and muscles in the animal using scientific names. The Munich team was made up of Dawson Biby – National Gold, Caleb Woodrow – National Gold, Drew McArthur – National Silver, and team alternate Lauren Baril. The team coaches are FFA Advisor- Rick Vannett, Devin Volk, and Gary Martens. The journey for the team began back in 2016 when they
were eighth graders. The team has competed in several competitions and put in many hours of practice and studying over that time. In that period, they have had contests at Kansas State University in Manhattan (8th place), Oklahoma State University in Stillwater (6th places), Colorado State University in Fort Collins (6th), Pipestone Invitational at South Dakota State University in Brookings (1st place), SDSU Saddle and Sirloin Contest in Brookings (2nd place), and three times at NDSU at the ND State FFA Contest where they placed gold -2017, gold - 2018, and state champions - 2019. In preparation for all these contests, the students have had workouts at several different places: NDSU. SDSU, University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, Tyson Foods in Lexington, Nebraska, University of Nebraska, Nebraska Beef in Omaha, Nebraska, Cargill Meats in Schuyler, Nebraska, Tyson Foods in Joslin, Illinois, University of Illinois and the University of Purdue. The journey for the team ended on Thursday, October 31 when they competed in the National FFA Contest earning a gold team award. In the FFA, when you compete in a national contest, you are no longer allowed to compete in that contest again. The Munich FFA Chapter would to extend a huge thank you to all those who helped support them on this national trip: Alsen Farmers Elevator, Langdon Eagles, North Prairie Ag, First Insurance of Munich, Zimmer Plumbing & Home Center, Horizon Bank, ND FFA Foundation and the Munich Public Schools. Without the support of these sponsors, this trip would not have been possible.

She spent her childhood in Alsen and completed her high school education in Floodwood, Minn., graduating with the class of 1951.

Darla Renee Matt (Schanz) Funeral services were held on Friday, November 1, 2019, at the Amundson Funeral Home in Grand Forks for Darla Renee Matt (Schanz), who was born June 6, 1959, in Langdon. She unexpectedly passed away Sunday, October 27, 2019, age 60, at her home in Grand Forks. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou. And with Darla, what you felt was love. Whether you were family, a friend, or just visiting— she always ensured that at least two things happened: that you felt at home and that you’d had enough to eat.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Isabelle Fetsch, 92, of Langdon, who passed away Friday, November 1, 2019, at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon. Isabelle Marie Eickenbrock was born January 27, 1927, in Wales, daughter of Joseph and Susanna (Tinglehoff) Eickenbrock. She attended Minto School and graduated from Wales High School. She married Dale Fetsch on November 6, 1946, at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Wales. They farmed near Wales until 1987 when they moved to Langdon and ran the Langdon Motor Inn for many years. Through her job as manager, she developed many friendships and treated all the guests like family. She enjoyed sewing, baking and gardening. She spent lots of time watching her grandchildren, and she was a caregiver known as being witty, practical, and candid. She was a patient woman who was adored by her
something to behold. Born into a farming household, she was well acquainted with the value of hard work and the joy of family. The love that she held for her own family— her husband, Hugh; her daughters, Natasha and Ariel; her sons-in-law, Jacob and Joshua; and especially her grandchildren, Devyn, Gabriel, and Phoebe—was central to everything she did. She had a beautiful singing voice and an infectious laugh that could fill any room, charming everyone in it. And when she unveiled her gallons of baked masterpieces every year for Christmas, it was impossible to resist the spirit. She’ll live on in our hearts in many ways. As we leave our refrigerator doors open just a little too long, as we forget our mugs of coffee in the microwave several times over—but especially as we look into the eyes of our own children and imagine what she must have seen in us.

Surviving Isabelle are her children: Colin (Mary) Fetsch of Langdon, Joan (Cameron) Sillers of Langdon, Greg (Patty) Fetsch of Langdon, Galen (Holly) Fetsch of Munich, and Susan (Terry) Crockett of Langdon; grandchildren: Clayton (Olivia) Fetsch, Sara (Tony) Jardine, Jon Fetsch, Teresa (Christopher) Kluth, James Fetsch, Emily (Adam) Koenig, Jason (Liz) Sillers, Laura (Derick) Jungling, Justin (Kristen) Fetsch, Derek (Jessica) Fetsch, Garth Fetsch (Katelyn Pierce – fiancee), Dalton Fetsch, Sadie Fetsch, Matthew (Kyla) Fetsch, Joshua Fetsch, Katrina Fetsch, Rae Ellen Crockett, Brady Crockett; and 17 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Dale, daughter Cleone, and siblings: Henry, Katie Kowalski, Joe, Frank, Tony, Elizabeth Pike, Ted, Vic, and Helen Lundgren Rutledge. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.
From the Pastor’s Desk
Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Adrian Olson of North Parish
It takes tremendous courage and faith to live an alternative set of values and practices from the people around us. Unfortunately, though, our world has somehow become captured by short-term, expedient values – the quarterly report, the next new product or experience, the quick gratification. Long-term hope and the commitment to work and wait for the greater good are somehow seen as quaint but outdated ways of living. In our churches we can fall into exactly the same trap – measuring our success by numbers, money, buildings, new fashions, new trends and new equipment. When this happens, our message is lost, and the call for justice is silenced. When we renew our faith in the eternal, in the unending life of God, and in our hope of resurrection, all sorts of things change. We begin to view the world and its history through the lens of God’s reign and the wide sweep of salvation history, rather than just the immediate mo-
ment. We begin to work for a better world, even though we may never see the fulfillment of our dreams ourselves. We grow in our commitment to make short-term sacrifices in favor of long-term justice and peace. Ultimately this faith enables us to change what we drive and how we use energy – even though it may be less convenient – to protect our planet. It enables us to give up our short-term needs and hurts in favor of long-term relationship building – even with those we may consider enemies. It enables us to sacrifice some of our own comfort in the short-term – to buy less, consume less and throw away less – in order to ensure that there is enough to go around and that what we use is justly and fairly sourced and produced. Hope in the resurrection – in God’s eternal gift of life and salvation – really does inspire us to live differently, if we will only allow it to capture our hearts and souls.

Veterans Update
Some disabled veterans no longer need to worry about paying off federal student loans. An executive order, signed by President Donald Trump in August, made their student debt seemingly disappear. The executive order directed the Department of Education to find easier ways to wipe out the federal student loan debt of veterans who have a VA disability rating of 100 percent and are permanently disabled. “The debt of these disabled veterans will be entirely erased - it will be gone,” Trump said. The executive order alleviates those disabled veterans from having to submit an application documentation to the Department of Education showing they are eligible for the discharge of federal student loans. Those that are total and permanently disabled already were eligible to have their federal student loan debt completely erased, but only about half of the about 50,000 eligible veterans took advantage of the benefit. Starting in January, about 3 million more service-connected, disabled veterans will be able to shop at on-base commissaries and exchanges, known for its tax-free shopping. Any veteran with a VA disability rating will be able to gain access to their local military bases, according to the Department of Defense. Veterans with VA disability ratings of zero to 90 percent will be allowed to access on-base exchanges and commissaries, as well as some morale, wellness and recreation - or MWR - facilities. Those veterans must have a VAissued Veteran Health Identification Card to have access. All honorably discharged veterans currently are eligible to shop online at the Army/ Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard exchanges. The 5 percent surcharge does not apply to online purchases. Eligible veterans can apply for a
Veteran Health Identification Card at www.va.gov/health-care/how-toapply. or in person by visiting a VA medical facility. Above information taken from the Nov.-Dec. VFW Magazine. Veterans can now join the Million Veteran Program online (MVP) as part of the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) effort to improve the lives of veterans through health care research and innovation. “MVP has already resulted in a number of important scientific publications that increase our knowledge of conditions that affect veterans’ health, and we expect this resource to continue to prove its value over the coming years,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. Veterans currently enrolled in VA care can use their existing VA credentials to securely log in to MVP Online to view their personalized dashboard and learn more about the program. MVP helps researchers better understand how genes affect health and illness, which may help prevent illnesses and improve treatments of disease. Research using MVP data is already a part of more than 30 VA projects, including efforts focused on understanding the role of genes in PTSD, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and suicide. Significant research findings have already been published in high-impact, scientific journals. This research is helping the VA to better understand the role genes play in many common illnesses, especially those illnesses common among combat veterans. For more information about the Million Veteran Program, visit MVP Online at https://www.mvp.va.gov.

With the hopes of 37 people to donate blood with a goal of 28 units to be collected, Vitalant encourages anyone feeling well and healthy to make their appointment for the blood drive. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood by calling Kevin at 370-2037, at www.bloodhero.com or by calling (877)25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s Donor Reward program. With your help, Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. Vitalant relies on 250 people to
donate blood each day to ensure that the needs of our local hospitals are met. There is no substitute for human blood, so volunteer blood donors are vital to ensure a safe blood supply for our community. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region, and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.
Vietnam and •provides a potential earlier effective date for conditions that were previously denied service connection. How This May Affect You If you were previously denied service-connected benefits for a herbicide-related disability, you may now be eligible. You may also be eligible for a potential retroactive effective date if VA grants service-connected benefits under the new law for a herbicide-related disability you previously claimed on or after September 25, 1985, and before January 1, 2020, that was subsequently denied. VA will start processing and deciding claims based on the date of the new law. This means eligible veterans will be awarded benefits as early as January 1, 2020. Who is eligible for Beneficiary Travel (BT)? •Veterans with disabilities rated 30% or more service-connected (SC): travel for care relating to any condition. •Veterans with disabilities rated less than 30%: travel for care relating to their SC condition(s). •Veterans receiving Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pension benefits: travel for care of any condition. • Veterans with annual income below the maximum applicable annual rate of pension: travel for care of any condition. •Veterans traveling in relation to a Compensation and Pension (C&P) examination. •Veterans who can demonstrate that due to circumstances such as loss of employment or incurrence of a disability, his or her income in the year of travel will not exceed the maximum annual rate of pension of the beneficiary. How do I file a claim for Beneficiary Travel mileage reimbursement? •Complete VA Form 10-3542 “Beneficiary Travel Claim Form”. •Submit the claim to: Attn Beneficiary Travel, Fargo VA HCS, 2101 N. Elm St., Fargo, ND 58102 •If the care was provided in the community at VA cost, provide proof of attendance that the appointment was completed and indicating the date of the visit. •Use a Beneficiary Travel Claim Kiosk at the Fargo VA. How much time do I have to file a claim for Beneficiary Travel mileage reimbursement? •30 days from the date of the appointment for Beneficiary Travel to a VA facility or to a community facility that the VA authorized you to attend. •30 days from the date a person becomes eligible for BT after the travel takes place, payment may be made if the person applies for travel benefits within 30 days of the date when the person became eligible for travel benefits by being awarded a Service-Connected disability. Other consideration to be aware of is the VA cannot pay cash any longer for this benefit. This is not a VA decision; it was decided by the US Treasury Department, and VA must follow the rule.

Cards blow through Tornadoes 50-13 to advance to State Semis Winning streak stretches to 23 games in a row
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
Rosecranz goes on hunt of a lifetime
Jiry Rosecrans received a signed Carson Wentz jersey when she was on her hunt of a lifetime with Ao1 Mountain Movers program. The Mountain Movers program offers children with physical challenges, life-threatening illnesses (past and present) and the under-served once in a lifetime hunting and fishing experiences while teaching them the ethical practices behind harvesting and consuming wild game. Jiry had a great time and was happy to just be a kid again. Jiry was also given a shopping spree at Scheels, where she was outfitted with all the gear she would need while hunting.
In a battle between two of the top five Class A 11- Ma football teams in North Dakota, top ranked Langdon-Edmore-Munich hosted the fifth ranked Oakes Tornadoes in a playoff quarterfinal game held on November 2. A couple of key early fourth down conversions and another huge game from quarterback Simon Romfo paved the way for a 50-13 win. The victory pushes the Cardinals winning streak to 23 games and a record of 11-0 this season. It puts the Cards in the playoff semifinals, one step away from a third straight trip to the Dakota Bowl and the right to defend their Class A 11-Man title. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will take on unbeaten and third ranked Lisbon at 2:00 p.m. on November 9 in the semis. In their game with Oakes, the Cardinals got the ball first, and it appeared like the Tornadoes defense had them stopped, but Coach Josh Krivarchka went for it on fourth and five well in their own territory. But the gamble paid off as Simon Romfo completed a 14 yard pass to Noah Anderson to keep the drive alive which was capped off by a 24 yard pass from Simon to Jackson Delvo. On Oakes' first drive of the game, another recurring theme began, which is the ball-hawking Cardi-
nals defense coming up with three interceptions of Oakes quarterback Garrett Meehl. The first was an overthrow, which was grabbed by Delvo who then returned it 42 yards to set up an 18 yard touchdown pass from Simon to Grant Romfo. After stopping Oakes again, the Cardinals again went for their next drive and again from their own territory, but Simon Romfo converted a fourth down and two for a 40 yard run, which he later turned into six more points on a 10 yard scamper. After another Oakes turnover, on a Simon Romfo interception and a 40 yard return. On the ensuing drive the Cards went for it on yet another fourth down play, this time in Tornadoes' territory. Simon Romfo completed a fourth and two pass to Grant, who sprinted down the right sideline for the TD running right through an Oakes defender in the process. That gave the Cards a 30-0 in the second. Meehl would finally get his team rolling later in the second quarter, and the Cardinals first team defense gave up their first points this season on a Mark Seyer nine yard run to get Oakes on the board. But a 30 yard kickoff return by Delvo helped the Cardinals score with just over a minute left in the first half on a six yard run by Grant Romfo, his 18th rushing touchdown of the season. The second half would see two more Cards scores. Simon Romfo would intercept his second pass and then find Delvo deep for a TD on a 49 yard bomb, and in the fourth quarter, Simon found Cooper Zimmer wide open for a 25 yard pass play to get the Cardinals to 50 points for the game. Stat-wise the Cardinals were led by Simon Romfo with 206 yards pass and four touchdowns, giving him 34 on the season. Simon was also the game's leading rusher with 129 yards on 16 carries, while Grant

Romfo had five catches for 83 yards, and Delvo had three for 82. Sean Gette also caught two 2-point conversions in the game. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich defense held Oakes leading rusher Logan Sell, who had over 1,200 yards rushing on the season coming in to under 40 yards for the game. When asked after the game about those fourth down conversions, Cardinals Coach Josh Krivarchka said, "Our punting game hasn't been where we've wanted it most of the season. So when it's a decision to get minimal field position or keep the drives going, we go for it. I have confidence in our guys to get the job done no matter what down it is, and they certainly did that today."

Lady Cards finish with three wins to notch regular season Region 4 Crown
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
Cardinals to open Region 4 Tournament Monday at 3:00pm as top seed The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team had a busy finish to their regular season schedule with three matches in five days all at home, beating Lakota on October 31, Grafton on November 1 and North Star on November 4, all by sweeps. With the wins, the Lady Cards won the regular season Region 4 title and will be the number one seed going into the regional tournament in Devils Lake where they play at 3:00p.m. on November 11, with their opponent to be determined by play-in matches that were held on Nov. 7-8. The Cardinals will take a 34-3 overall record into the postseason. Here is a recap of the their last three matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2525-25, Lakota 3-10-8 The Cards began their latest three match run with a thorough domination of Lakota. They had a season high 26 aces as a team in the match, which is just short of a Cardinals' programrecord. They also served 93 percent in the win. Langdon-Edmore-Munich jumped out to 10-1 leads in each of the first two sets. They were down 2-1 early in set three, only to go on a 24-4 run to sweep the match. With so many aces getting points for the Lady Cards, kills were a little down for the team in the match, as Callie Ronningen led the team with eight followed by Cora Badding with seven. Lexi Olson had four stuff blocks, and Calyn Crockett had 20 assists. Olson also had a team high 10 digs. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2525-25, Grafton 9-17-12 In makeup match from way back on October 3, the Cardinals hosted Grafton on what was a fundraiser for Kynlee Pengilly in her battle with cancer, on was her eighth birthday on November 1. The gym was filled with fans and well-wishers wearing white "Kynlee's Fight"
shirts and a 50/50 drawing plus a cake walk was held in her honor. Grafton showed that they have a nice team coming for the future, as they battled the Cards to 17 all in the second set before the Langdon-Edmore-Munich went on an 8-0 run to win. The match was another big win for the Lady Cards, as they were led by double-double by Callie Ronningen with 14 kills and 17 digs. Morgan Freije had eight kills and Lexi Olson seven. The Lady Cards served 93 percent for the match and had 14 service aces, led by Olson with five. Calyn Crockett had a great night setting, as she came away with 33 assists. The Cardinals had four girls in double figures in digs, Kaylee Lowery tied Ronningen for the team lead with 17, while libero Kaitlynn Scherr had 16 and Olson 14. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2525-25, North Star 17-18-9 In their last match of the regular season, the Lady Cards hosted North Star, who was also unbeaten in Region 4 matches. Before the match, it was Senior Night for Langdon-Edmore-Munich, and the Cardinals five seniors: Callie Ronningen, Calyn Crockett, Kaitlynn Scherr, Brooke Bakke and McKenna Belle, were recognized along with their parents before the match. This was as intense of a match that the Lady Cards have played in a couple of weeks, with both teams battling nerves early. In setone the Cardinals gradually built a 10 point lead at 21-11 to win, but the Bearcats got an early lead of 5-2 in the second set. Langdon-Edmore-Munich battled back to take the lead, but it was close at 16-15 before they went on a late 8-1 run. The Cards played their best in set three, never in danger of winning by a sweep. The Lady Cards had two big nights hitting, as Callie Ronningen and Lexi Olson each had 14 kills to lead the way. Ronningen had 17 digs for another double-double, while setter Calyn Crockett also had
the same with 34 assists and 16 digs. Kaylee Lowery had 13 digs and Kaitlynn Scherr 10 for the Cardinals. Bearcats libero Gracie Miller had a game high 20 digs for North Star.

Cardinals football team one step away from third straight Dakota Bowl Let's being this week by bringing you the extremely good news that the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals football team is one win away from advancing to their third Dakota Bowl and their third straight Class A Championship Game. The run has been incredible for Cards football, everyone is very excited about the chance to add another title banner to the high school gym. If the Cardinals get things done in a semifinal game at home versus Lisbon on Nov. 9, they will head to the Fargodome to play for the title at 12 Noon on
Nov. 15 against either Velva or Minot Ryan. In the 9 Man ranks, Cavalier is also one game away from playing for a title as they take on Linton-HMB in a semi for that division. It's crazy bananas that with the huge rivalry the Cardinals and Tornadoes have had over the years, they could both be in Dakota Bowl playing in TWO different games. Let's hope for the best for both teams, and we wish them both the best of luck. Region 4 Volleyball Tournament begins in Devils Lake Nov. 11 Nov. 11 is of course Veterans Day, and we salute all of area vets on your tremendous service to our country. Nov. 11 is also the start of the Region 4 Volleyball Tournament coming to the Devils Lake Sports Center Nov. 11-14. Langdon-Edmore-Munich is the top seed for the tourney, as they beat North Star on Nov. 4 to win the regular season Region 4 Title. But this is where the money matches begin, as the Lady Cards will try to win another region tournament title and advance to the State B Volleyball Tournament, which also will be held at the Fargodome Nov. 21-23. The Cardinals finished third at state last year, and their goal all season has been to return to state and improve on that mark. The Cards will open the Region 4 Tournament at 3:00pm on Nov. 11, with their opponent to be determined through play-in match that got in Nov. 7-8. We wish the Lady Cards and all ready teams the best of luck in the volleyball postseason.
Winter Sports season continues with wrestling opener Last week we told hockey practice had begun for the Langdon Blades at Dakota Spirit Arena. In the week ahead wrestling will get going, with the first allowable practice beginning on Nov. 11. The Pembina County North Grizzlies will get going this week under the direction once again this year of head coach Shawn Horgan. Coach Horgan has been helming the Grizzlies program for several years now, and we hope he and the team have another fun competitive season. Miss Hoopster has been released; Lady Cards ranked second We started with good news, and we will leave you with some more. The annual Miss Hoopster North Dakota Girls Basketball Preview has been published, and in the annual Top 40 Preseason Power Poll, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals are ranked second in the state, behind defending champion Kindred. Other area teams in the Top 40 are Grafton third, Thompson ninth, Four Winds-Minnewaukan 10th, St. John 18th, Dunseith 19th, Midway-Minto 28th and Park River-Fordville-Lankin 38th. Practice for girls hoops starts on Nov. 18, which will be here before you know. Time really does fly when you're having fun. Happy Veterans Day, Good luck to all deer hunters, and "See ya!" next week!

Don’t Be Tempted to Graze Unharvested Soybeans Grazing on unharvested soybeans can pose a health risk to cattle. Ammonia toxicity is a threat to cattle that overconsume soybeans. Producers should not introduce hungry cattle to unharvested soybean fields, according to a North Dakota State University Extension livestock specialist. “Ammonia toxicity is a threat to cattle that overconsume soybeans,” says Karl Hoppe, livestock systems specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center. “Whether it’s a pile of harvested soybeans lying on the ground or an unharvested soybean field where cows have unlimited access, eating too many soybeans can lead to dead cattle.” Ammonia toxicity has been seen
Cavalier County FSA Report By Julie Howatt
Producer Informational Meetings Scheduled Cavalier County FSA has scheduled a 2018 Farm Bill Informational meeting for November 14, 2019 at 9:30 AM at the Langdon Masonic Temple, 5th St, in Langdon. Producers are encouraged to attend this meeting to learn about the changes to the ARCPLC farm program, and the option to change your base elections for 2019 and 2020. Poor Quality Grain Loan Information The recent weather conditions we have been experiencing and the resulting delay in harvest has caused quality issues with crop year 2019 harvested commodities. Due to this, FSA has received several inquiries concerning eligibility for commodity loans on grain. If a commodity loan is obtained it will mature 9 months after the month in which the loan is disbursed. A matured farm-stored loan can be settled either by repayment or delivery to CCC. As an example: a loan taken on hard red spring wheat for $3.92 per bushel, repayment would be at $3.92 per bushel plus interest. If delivery

The location of the factory will remain in Medole, Italy, where most of the employees will retain their positions within the company. Fantini corn and sunflower headers are distributed world-wide.
NDSU Extension Notes
in cows that found a pile of harvested soybeans and gorged themselves. Consumption of a large amount of whole soybeans and an active rumen, combined with the urease enzyme in soybeans, can lead to more ammonia production than the rumen microbes normally can use. Excess ammonia spills into the bloodstream, causing death. “If you catch the toxicosis early enough, you can drench the cow with 1 to 2 gallons of vinegar (5% acetic acid) to change the ammonia to ammonium,” Hoppe says. “The ammonium ion won’t leave the rumen. Unfortunately, most producers don’t find the animal soon enough and don’t have enough vinegar on hand to deal with an outbreak.” Cows can consume small amounts (2 to 4 pounds) of soybeans per day as part of a balanced ration. This would provide additional protein to the ration. After 4 pounds of soybeans in a mature cow ration, the oil content of the ration starts to
to CCC at maturity is considered, discounts will apply to the loan rate of $3.92 based on grade and quality factors; this includes discounts for test weight, sprout damage, damaged kernels, falling numbers etc. Any deficiency to the settlement value that is less than the $3.92 loan value due to quality discounts must be repaid by the parties who signed the note and security agreement. Interest applies to all deficiencies. Producers should explore all available settlement options, including repayment of the loan before deciding to deliver the commodity to CCC. Situations can occur where CCC takes all the loan grain, but the producer owes nearly all the loan principal plus interest due to loan settlement discounts for poor quality. Commodity discount schedules are available at all county FSA offices. More information about grain loans can be found in the article below or by contacting your local FSA office.

interfere with digestion by the rumen microbes. When the oil content of the ration gets above 7% to 8%, the oil becomes toxic to rumen microbes. Plus, when cows eat soybeans, they are eating the bean pod and stems. If the cows consume too much, ammonia toxicosis will lead to tremors and the cows will lie down and die. Treatment is generally unsuccessful. The unknown is how many soybeans a cow will eat if she gets into an unharvested soybean field. If grass or corn stover is available, the cow might limit her soybean consumption. “I usually associate raw soybean overload with death and would not recommend any grazing of a soybean field,” says Michelle Mostrom, a toxicologist in the NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
Mark Hatloy and Ken Nordstrom are the new owners of Fantini. Co-owner Mark Hatloy said, “We’re excited to acquire Fantini after having been the North American distributor for the last few years.

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings October 24, 2019 On October 24, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. David Zeis was not in attendance. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Vice-Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried. There was discussion on the motor grader from the Langdon District being repaired at RDO. Austin Lafrenz informed the commissioners that RDO and John Deere would be covering half of the repair bill. Greg Goodman informed the commission that the motor grader in the Vang District was also having some mechanical issues and that RDO would be coming up again to look at it. Goodman also informed the commission that the second furnace in the Vang shop was needing to be replaced. The commission was in agreement to proceed with replacing it. Stanley Dick discussed the indirect cost reimbursements from the Social Services Fund to County General for 2018 and 2019. Dick explained that the state would have to approve reimbursing County General, and that it would be discussed at the Social Services working group meeting on November 1st. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the 2018 Audit Report, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the Cavalier County Emergency Declaration as a result of recent snow storm, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Espen Dalgliesh and Coby Dalgliesh met with the commissioners and discussed concerns they had with Sarles City and the county’s snowplow operator. Stanley Dick stated he had been at a meeting in Sarles and that the city did not want to pay for the county to do their snow removal. It was decided later in the meeting to table the discussion on renting Sarles City’s shop and charging them for snow removal until next meeting. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, presented a culvert request from Gary Beck to the commissioners, which had been submitted to the Water Board. The request was for permission to install an equalizer PVC pipe in County Road 5, between Sections 2 and 3 in Seivert Township. The county was not requested to supply or install the pipe. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the request, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Johnston asked if the commission was in agreement to install a light bar on the Osnabrock pickup with a mount so no holes would have to be put in the roof. The commissioners were in agreement. The bridge inventory and future inspections were discussed. Johnston informed the commissioners that DOT would no longer be doing the bridge inspections, and that it was being put out for bid to private contractors. There was also discussion on the water that was being pumped and a trench that had to be dug to save County 39 at Cole’s Crossing. The current culvert is rusted out and needing
to be replaced, and an additional relief culvert is being installed. At 2:00 PM Chairman Moser asked if anyone was in attendance for the tax sale appraisal hearing. Nobody was present for it. The hearing was left open until 2:15 PM, when Moser again asked if there was anyone in attendance for the hearing. With nobody in attendance, the hearing was closed. Crystal Beggs, HR, met with the commissioners to discuss the salary and benefit comparison. Stanley Dick made a motion to make the recommended adjustments bring the Sheriff to 100% comp-ratio and the Deputy Sheriff to 94% comp-ratio, with the remainder of the employees receiving a 3% increase, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. It was decided that in the future the prior year salary data from the NDACo site would be used for comparison so the departments have proposed salary amounts early enough to submit their budgets, and that new hires in the future would start below the 100% comp-ratio for the position. Nick Moser asked that department heads meet with HR in the future regarding any salary adjustments for added job duties. Beggs presented new formats for timekeeping to be implemented in 2020, which included detail on lunch breaks taken. The commissioners suggested the employees work with HR to get a format that will work for all offices. The following met with the commissioners for department updates: Karen Kempert – Emergency Manager/911 Coordinator; Scott Stewart – State’s Attorney; Terry Girodat – Maintenance; Greg Fetsch – Sheriff; the Water Board and JDA were not able to attend, but submitted written updates. The loan interest rates for the purchase of a Sheriff’s patrol vehicle in 2020 were reviewed. Stanley Dick made a motion to accept the loan interest rate of 1.75% from Farmers & Merchants State Bank, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. The mills for the approved 2020 County General budget were reviewed. Greg Goodman made a motion to reduce the County General levy to 35 mills and utilize more cash on hand, seconded by Stanley Dick. A roll call vote was taken, with all voting in favor. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $1,824.56 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $182.46 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to transfer $325.00 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $111,000.00 from Special County Highway Fund to Road and Bridge Fund, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion, seconded by Stanley Dick to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: MUNICH ELEVATOR & OIL CO., ROAD & BRIDGE__________ 42.74 DENISE BAKER, GENERAL-REFUND____________________ 329.03 VERIZON WIRELESS, GENERAL/ F-M/R&B/WEED_________ 160.69 OTTER TAIL POWER CO, GENERAL/R&B_________2,658.51

LEM vollyball team dedicates season to Kynlee’s Fight The Langdon-Edmore-Munich volleyball program has had Tami Flink as a coach for almost 20 years. The current team is composed of athletes that have had the dedicated coach teaching them the game since they were in grade school. Now, that team has dedicated their year to Flink’s granddaughter, Kynlee Pengilly, as she faces a tough year of her own. “On July 26, while I was combing her hair I noticed this bump
on her head. Didn’t really think much of it - she was in a summer play- thought maybe it was something she got there,” Jessica Pengilly, Kynlee’s mother, shared on CaringBridge. “Over about 10 days, it got a little bigger and a little redder. Took her to our local clinic, had an ultrasound done and put on some antibiotics.“ Despite two weeks of treatment with antibiotics, the bump wasn’t getting any smaller or less red. In fact, it had grown
and hurt when touched. The Pengillys were referred to dermatology, and on August 28, the dermatologist was set to remove what they thought was a cyst. Once the incision had been made, however, the doctor found something completely different. A biopsy of tissue was taken and sent to Sanford Pathology for testing. After an excruciating wait for the results, Sanford didn’t really know what it was

Welcome
and would be sending the biopsy to Mayo for molecular testing. The Pengillys were in limbo for the entire month of September wondering what the future held for Kynlee. “On October 2, our world would change forever. Kynlee was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma,” Pengilly said. “After we found Kynlee had cancer, she had been a volleyball buddy,” Flink explained. “We were heading out to the DeLacBurlington tournament, and we had about five of the girls in our vehicle, and they said ‘hey let’s dedicate our season to Kynlee, and we’ll get some t-shirts and some bracelets’. “ By the time they had reached Rugby, a design had been created for the t-shirts, and Jeff Fisk had been contacted for printing of the shirts. He had offered to do shirts for the volleyball team previously and agreed to not only get the shirts made but also pay for the shirts. “I said well, you better message him back and say hey we are opening this up to the public and the school kids and whatever. It’s not just going to be the volleyball team. He said no problem, taken care of,” Flink said. It only took three days for the first order to reach over 850 shirts. With the production costs covered, the Pengillys received the entire profit from that order. The team wanted to celebrate Kynlee and show their support for both Kynlee and their coach at one of their games. A rescheduling of a game with Grafton had a timely date decided upon, November 1, which is Kynlee’s birthday. “Let’s have a party at the game...Let’s just have the biggest birthday bash ever,” Flink shared of the team’s idea. The “sweet, bubbly, sassy 2nd grader, who loves school, dance, pink, and unicorns” celebrated her 8th birthday with the entire sports family of LangdonEdmore-Munich volleyball! The volleyball team also held a cake walk for Kynlee with a special cake just for Kynlee made by her volleyball buddy, Morgan Freije. The special cake made with her favorite animal, a unicorn, along with a special gift of a signed pink volleyball from the team was given to Kynlee at the start of the varsity volleyball game. Kynlee has started chemo treatment already and has many weeks to go. The first round of
chemo will go for 12 weeks before a surgery to remove as much of the cancerous growth from her skull as possible is done. This will then be followed by an additional 22 weeks of treatment. “Like her whole second grade year,” Flink said. The side effects of the chemotherapy have begun to hit the little girl hard. The fatigue is making attending school difficult along with her immune system’s ability to fight infection being drastically reduced. The hardest part of the treatment has also begun; she has started losing her hair. “She is losing it by the day so they did say whatever she wants to do to her hair, do it. It’s like the calm before the storm,” Flink said. “Jess did ask the doctor when this is going to hit her, and they said - well, when she has no hair.” As a whole, Kynlee’s family has handled the emotional stress as best as they can. Kynlee’s younger brothers stay with grandparents while she is in Fargo with their parents for her treatments. The family is also working to make sure that Kynlee’s education doesn’t suffer and that things stay as normal as possible. Having community support has been incredibly helpful with meals and monetary donations making it a bit easier. “Everybody has insurance, but there is just so much more that people don’t even realize- going to Fargo every week for 35 weeks, eating, travel, motels,” Flink shared. “A lot of donations have come in to help them out. It’s going to be a long year.” Kynlee’s family wishes to thank everyone, from businesses to individuals to the school and the volleyball team, for helping when they need it the most. The prognosis for Kynlee is good in terms of the treatment being successful. The only danger that Kynlee faces is if she were to develop an infection due to her weakened immune system. #KynleesFight t-shirts can still be ordered. With a long road of treatments still ahead of her, Flink asks that writing a card of encouragement to Kynlee be considered. “Cards would be awesome while she is sitting down in Fargo five days in a row doing the chemo,” Flink said. Cards or letters can be sent to Kynlee at 1211 11th Street, Langdon, ND 58249.
