Job Corps offers government-funded education through ETA By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor
Turn to Page 7 for Thrivent Financial's advice on student loan planning.
Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889
One of the best kept secrets that the government offers to its citizens is actually a free education for in-demand trades. The United States Department of Labor Education and Training Administration (ETA) covers a wide range of employment issues, with its Office of Job Corps being the largest nationwide residential career training program in the country. The first director of the program modeled it after the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which was part of the famous New Deal created by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Building on the success of those programs, Job Corps began in 1964 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. Since then, the program has trained and educated over two million individuals across the United States and Puerto Rico. There are 125 centers with programs that help eligible young people ages 16 through 24 complete their high school education, train for meaningful careers, and assist with gaining employment. “We help them complete their high school education if they haven’t already, but the emphasis is on the job training. Basically, the students live on the campus, they get their high school education there or GED, and they receive their
job training right there on campus,” Brian Lyons, Quentin N. Burdick Job Corps Center outreach and admissions counselor, said. The Job Corps Center in North Dakota, the Quentin N. Burdick, is located in Minot. At Job Corps, students have access to room and board while
“I first arrived to Job Crops March 4 of 2019 and graduated July 30 of 2019. When I first arrived I went through four weeks of CPP (career preparation period). Everyone takes it when they come in,” explained Job Corps grad Deven Johnson, formerly of Langdon. “In CPP you make goals, and you
they learn skills in specific training areas for up to three years. In addition to helping students complete their education, obtain career technical skills and gain employment, Job Corps also provides transitional support services, such as help finding employment, housing, child care, and transportation. Job Corps graduates either enter the workforce or an apprenticeship, go on to higher education, or join the military.
trade shadow the trades you are interested in and learn more about yourself and others around you .” During the CPP, the students research what they would like to do as a career. During this time the application process is reviewed, and the students practice making resumes and cover letters. After CPP, they enter their chosen trade program. For Johnson, her chosen trade was welding. During her time at Job Corps she was also
able to finish her high school education. “I entered trade in April and was in trade half of my day, The other half I was doing online high school. I finished online high school in June and completed the program on July 30,” Johnson said. The teachers at the job corps center Johnson attended were very open to staying after hours to help students if it was needed. Johnson shared that there were also after hours that students could come and work. Teachers also helped students with online schooling. The Burdick Job Corp Center offers career training in many different fields. Trades offered at the Minot campus include carpentry, construction, technology, automotive repair, welding, nursing program, office administration, and culinary arts. One only needs to open a newspaper to see that the job training matches the needs within the state. “Those are positions where there is a high demand, especially in North Dakota. In our economy in North Dakota, any one of these jobs are in high demand, especially welding, nursing, construction. These are high demand trades,” Lyons said. The Burdick Job Corps Center is located just a few blocks away from Minot State University campus on about 20 acres. The campus is much like any cont. on page 2

By Lisa Nowatzki Republican Writer Historically, the Fraternal Order of Eagles (FOE) Auxiliary has stepped in when people in their communities are in need. As a part of the Order, the Auxiliary has helped raise millions of dollars mostly geared toward helping children. According to the FOE website, since its
inception, the FOE has maintained a strong dedication to giving back to local communities. Our local Eagle's Auxiliary has continued the process. At times it seems as if small children outgrow clothes and outerwear by the minute. Kids lose, leave behind, and drop anything that is not attached to them. Families with multiple children are hit doubly, triply, or more with clothing expens-

es. In our changing economy, many families don't have the funds to purchase outerwear numerous times during the year. In northern climates such as ours, all would agree no child should or can be outside without proper winter wear. Members of the Langdon Eagles Auxiliary were made aware of a need for winter outerwear for grade school and
younger children and decided to act. The local group is stepping up to help local children by starting a Snow Drive. They are collecting new and gently used coats, snow pants, and boots for kids in Pre-K through sixth grade. They are collecting monetary donations, as well, for people who want to cont. on page 3

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Oh, Christmas Tree! When should the tree, a hallmark of the Christmas season, go up? At my house, the scrooge doesn’t allow the tree up until after Thanksgiving. Growing up, the tree was put up around the first true winter snowfall. So....sometime in November and no later than mid-December. The debate of when the tree should be put up has become more prominent as well as researched. Yes, researched. Scientists have found that those who decorate for Christmas early tend to be happier. In my mind, it’s hard to not be happy when you have twinkling lights and pretty ornaments to gaze upon. I know a few scrooges; they are all in the after Thanksgiving camp. Personally, I like the tree to go up when I feel like it now. However, with two littles at home, the request for the tree to be put up has been on-going since just before Halloween. The Christmas wish list has been steadily added to since sometime mid-July. These kids are ready for Christmas 2019. So, back to the tree debate. The great tree debate has been of major contention for me because the
scrooges don’t typically provide any support in the effort of decorating or the bringing out of the tree. This makes their adament statement that the tree not be displayed until Thanksgiving all the more exasperating. Why? If you don’t help to make it happen, why should you get to dictate when it happens? I will give one scrooge the benefit because they are a work scrooge. Christmas may be near the end of December for but for them, the Christmas rush begins end of November. Imagine trying to get about two months worth of work into two weeks. I let them dictate and bah hum bug to their heart’s content. So the Christmas tree goes up when they give the okay and not a day before. The lights will not be turned on for that tree until they are good and ready. As for the second scrooge I know, there are quite a few different ways to drive the scrooge into the joy of the holiday season. Watch Christmas movies. Direct the littles requests to the scrooge. Then it’s just a matter of waiting for the breakdown and the shouting of “Oh, Christmas tree! Get the branches up here.”

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
A valuable lesson at Christmas… Back in September, my wife and I went to a wedding in Lake Elsinore, Calif. As she was getting ready I told her it was exactly how I remembered it 43 years ago. Unfortunately, that trip in 1977 wasn’t as joyous as the one we took in September. Numerous indicators suggested we not go and when we got there, situations presented themselves that told us we shouldn’t have been there. It was nearly Christmas 1977, and because you couldn’t hardly buy a job, my brother and I concocted this outrageous idea of traveling out to California for the holidays then finding work there. We decided we would take my car, a 1970 Ford Torino, a car that looked like it came right out of the projects. We didn’t have any money, so we borrowed $100 from a good friend of our parents, Pearl Cowles, and we were off. We decided to travel south instead of west, because we didn’t want to have to go over the mountains as weather situations can be nasty in the higher elevations. So, we went south. We didn’t get very far into South Dakota, and we began to smell antifreeze. A check under the hood showed a leaky hose. That got repaired, and after a near miss with a snow plow near the Nebraska border, everything went well, and we drove until Dalhart, Texas. Since we only started with $100, we rented a cheap hotel room. And
Cavalier County Republican
what do you think was the first thing we saw when we walked in the door? Cockroaches went scurrying for cover when the lights were turned on. That was our Christmas Eve, watching TV in a cheap hotel room. No gifts, no good meal, no conversation with family, just a bed that was off the floor enough so the cockroaches couldn’t get there. From there it was west to Winslow, Ariz. It was Christmas Day, and it was surprising how many people were moving about that day, which, incidentally, was cold and damp, as I recall. Because it was Christmas and we were in Arizona, we had a good meal and a traditional shot of tequila. But before leaving town, we had to do the touristy thing and stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, from the song “Take It Easy,” made famous by the Eagles. Just like Dalhart the night before, there was no conversation with family, no goodies to raid from the kitchen and no holiday music other than that in downtown Winslow. OK! We were on our way to California, and we were already running dangerously low on money, and back then, there were no credit cards to make it easy. Gas, two nights in hotel rooms, a nice meal and a minor car repair were taking their toll on our wallets. When we finally got to Lake Elsinore, we had run out of money, and it was a day after Christmas. No money to get clothes pressed for a job interview, no money to eat a decent meal, and no money to stay in hotels. There was only one thing to do, swallow our pride and phone home. We did. Our parents wired us the same amount of money, $100 to get home, and we turned around and
headed back. And because money was as tight as we now knew, we drove straight through. Somewhere in Nebraska I fell asleep at the wheel in the middle of the night. My brother woke up and pulled us back on the road. He drove the rest of the way, which was 47 hours straight from Lake Elsinore to Linton, where he had an apartment. Fast forward to Christmas 2006. Financially, I was a lot better off but was away from family during a military deployment to U.S. Central Command. It brought back a lot of the memories from our doomed trip west 29 years earlier. I had money to spend, I had a Christmas tree in my apartment, I knew plenty of people in Tampa and the Army was taking good care of me, but the one issue remained - I was away from family, and even though the circumstances were completely different, it was as lonely as it was in 1977 leading up to Christmas when my wife and daughter came for a visit. Those were the only two years in my life I’ve been away from home on Christmas, and the one thing that resonated was being away from family. There’s something about being together at Christmas that makes the holiday even more magical than we perceive it to be. Time is precious, the holidays are precious and family is precious. Only two times away from home in a span of 60 years and it boils down to this. Nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, can replace being home for Christmas. When we got back to North Dakota in 1977, we put everything aside, working odd jobs until we had paid the $200 back to Pearl and our parents. It was quite a lesson.

ment entered this function. He gave a lengthy and quite impressive report to our committee this fall. As some may recall I was more concerned during session in fixing the bonding issue and how the state’s central indexing can be usable in assuring a secured lender when a priority lien is filed on the collateral of the secured lender. Yes, it is a mouthful of words, and I will admit a daunting task at times to ascertain where the potential fix in law may be found, but it is indeed an urgent study for our committee in order to protect our grain growers and grain handling facilities from any fraud. By spring we hope to get drafts together to improve the laws affecting these topics. Also, the indemnity fund is being looked at, and I would sincerely appreciate hearing from as many D10 producers as possible on how you view this fund. We are looking at legislation requested by the AG Commissioner this coming week to streamline the oversight of many of the issues I mentioned above, including a waiver of coverage from indemnity fund by producers not wishing to pay into such. Again, this is draft legislation to be looked at during the 2021 Session. The past few weeks I have met with several groups in our district that deal with juvenile justice, mental health issues including school counselors and medical professionals. There is a growing need for resources, including human resources, as we see, especially, youth at risk. I commend the people that work in this arena, including many I have visited with. The challenges seem to be neverending for these public servants, and it breaks my heart to see so many youth at risk, whether it be drugs, alcohol or unsafe home lives. It is a challenge to know what the state can or should do, yet we all have a responsibility to stay engaged in our local areas. From a state perspective we are looking at areas of juvenile justice and also how we can recruit human resources like social workers and medical pros to practice their professions in rural ND. We need to see more local task force groups formed to be effective - one such is active in the Langdon area. Include all the professionals I mentioned earlier but also get faith-based people involved. It is no secret that I believe we must be honest and look
backwards to find the reasons for so much breakdown of the cornerstone of the family in our society. Where did the “holes in the dike“ start? We have legislated any and all moral plumb lines, if you will, out of public life. No public prayer in schools or on the football field for that sake, no Ten Commandments displayed to teach right from wrong (which by the way is NOT religion-specific), mostly no Pledge of Allegiance in schools, no right or wrong, good or evil. So while surely we will, from a state perspective, do whatever is in our power to assist - we must truly have the conversation of why we are seeing such needs in our communities. I had the privilege of hosting the mayors of Cavalier, Langdon and Park River on a tour of Grand Sky UAV facilities recently. The goal was to see what their perspective municipal airports could do to be engaged in this ever-growing industry and also to see how we can get more of this information into our high schools to encourage opportunities for joining this industry. It was once again eye-opening to see the rapid growth of the unmanned aerial vehicle industry, including innovation, to support rural healthcare. In the near future we will be able to get emergency medications, including urgent blood supply and such, delivered via drones. Truly! I am starting to feel old when I see this emerging technology expand so quickly, and it is at times hard to imagine, but it is reality. And I want to make sure our rural district is open for business as it relates to these innovations. To know ND is a leading state in the UAV industry is just great. A quick ND fiscal update: for October 2019, tax and fee general fund revenues were more than the forecast by approximately $4 million or 2 percent. Corporate income tax collections were more than the forecast by $2 million or 58 percent; gaming tax collections were more than the forecast by $1 million or 366 percent. For the first four months of the biennium, tax and fee general fund revenues are approximately $69 million or 9 percent more than the forecast. Huge congrats to the Cardinals on their state championships!! Way to go! Wishing all a blessed Christmas!

Vaping and tobacco cessation program available for teens Nearly 5 million teens across the United States are vaping and using tobacco. In North Dakota 35.5% of high school students reported current use, yet there are few resources available to help them stop. On July 1, 2019, the nation’s largest nonprofit tobacco quit line provider National Jewish Health, together with nine partner states including ND has launched an enhanced tobacco cessation program for teens who want to stop using tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes and vapes. The new My Life, My Quit program includes educational materials designed for teens and created through focus groups with teens, subject matter experts and community stakeholders. Teens can text or call a toll-free number (1.855.891.9989) dedicated for teens, or they can visit mylifemyquit.com for real-time coaching. Through the program, teens work with a coach who listens and understands their unique needs, provides personalized support, and helps them build a quit plan to become free from nicotine “This comprehensive new program combines the best practices for youth tobacco cessation adapted to include vaping and new ways for teens to reach our quit coaches using real-time text messaging and online chat,” said Thomas Ylioja, PhD, clinical director of Health Initiatives at National Jewish Health. “Flavors and sleek devices, popularized by Big Tobacco, have their aim on our youth. Tobacco cessation’s biggest demographic has greatly changed over the last several years with the evolution of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, so it is only fitting that our cessation methods evolve too.” Said Sarah Odegard, Tobacco Prevention Coordinator at Grand Forks Public Health. My Life, My Quit provides youth
access to tailored resources for quitting, including: • Free and confidential help from a quit coach specially trained to listen to teens, help teens navigate social situations that involve tobacco or vaping, and find healthy ways to cope with stress • Teen-focused messages in promotional and educational materials–created with youth input–that encourage teens to quit vaping or using tobacco • Five coaching sessions via live text messaging or by phone on a dedicated toll-free number (1.855.891.9989) or online chat • Simplified online and mobile program registration to get teens to a coach quicker • Dedicated teen website at mylifemyquit.com with online enrollment, live chat with a coach, information about vaping and tobacco, and activities to support quitting and stress relief • On-going text messages for encouragement throughout the quit process • Certificate of program completion Anyone ages 14+ could also utilize NDQuits, which provides free confidential cessation assistance to any North Dakota resident interested in quitting tobacco at ndquits. health.nd.gov National Jewish Health QuitLogix® is an evidence-based, comprehensive tobacco cessation program that provides personalized coaching, print and online resources to help people quit smoking or using tobacco products. National Jewish Health currently operates the quitline for 16 states and numerous health plans. The program has helped thousands of adults quit using tobacco and has a nearly 40 percent participant quit rate for people who receive coaching and medications, one of the highest quit rates in the country.

B State Champion runners up. John graduated from St. Alphonsus High School in 1964 and furthered his education at NDSU and NDSSS. He married Roberta Anderson from Fargo and together left on a life’s adventure going to Seattle, Wash., pursuing a career with The Boeing Company where he became a lifelong employee. He and Roberta had three daughters: Shelly, Shannon, and Shari. He worked his way up at Boeing and upon retirement he was the manager in charge of parts procurement at the plant. He was proud of his part in the production of the Boeing aircraft. While in Seattle, he continued his passion for baseball on a recreational team called ACI for a number of years, and spent lots of time exploring the Pacific Northwest on camping trips with his family. Upon retirement, he moved back to Fargo and shared life with his committed partner of 15 years, Kathy Lewis. They spent 14 winters in Texas and Arizona. He was an avid sportsman and liked to ski, fish, and hunt. He especially en-
joyed and appreciated his hunting buddies from Langdon and took part in many deer hunts. He and his dog, Riley, helped out in numerous harvests on the family farm. He loved riding his Harley. He had a God given talent for woodworking and spent many days crafting pieces out of raw wood, turning them into works of art that he gave away to family and friends. These will be treasured as a lasting memorial by all who received them. John leaves behind his loving partner, Kathy (Schefter) Lewis and his daughters: Shelly Biewer, Shannon Patten (Ken), Shari Watkins (Shawn), all of Seattle, Wash. He also leaves behind one brother, Bruce (Martha), sisters Cindy Ridley (John) and Kristi Breiland (John) and his mother, Agnes, who resides at Rosewood in Fargo, 5 grandsons: Joe, Johnathan, Christian, Cyrus, Hunter and several nieces and nephews. Boulger Funeral Home of Fargo was in charge of arrangements.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Father Phil Ackerman of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church
Happiness! We want to be happy. We work hard and invest our money so we can plan for retirement. We seek happiness by choosing a life-long career, getting an education, settling down, getting married and raising a family. Along the way, we hope to have enough to enjoy some time off, travel, go hunting, fishing, pursue hobbies and spending time at the lake. We want to make sure that our kids are doing well and have all they need to get started in life. We have so many goals. What is happiness? Happiness has everything to do with faith in God, faith in Jesus Christ. “Happy is the man who does not lose faith in Me” Matthew 11:6. I read a story about a very accomplished and learned philosopher who earned three post graduate degrees. He studied happiness. He wanted to learn more. Where could he find more answers about happiness? He spent years traveling and at great expense to search for the deeper meaning of happiness. He was told about a woman who lived at the top of a very high mountain. She had the answer. She was the wisest person of all. The professor set out on a rugged and difficult trip. When they met, they engaged in conversation. He said, “Tell me about happiness.” The woman suggested they begin by having tea. She poured him a cup of tea and kept pouring. His cup was overflowing and spilling over. The professor told her to stop. He said, “Just tell me the secret.” She said, “I can’t.” She continued, “Like this teacup that’s overflowing, your
mind is too full of your own knowledge and your own thoughts. You don’t have room for anymore. If I told you, it would just spill over. You have to empty yourself first.” So what is the path to happiness? It is to empty ourselves of all kinds of stuff. Then, we are able to do God’s will!!! We must seek the Kingdom of God and follow His will. The scripture readings for the Third Sunday of Advent gives us hope. The prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 35.1-10) says that the desert will bloom with abundant flowers. The glory of God will be shown. The blind will see. The deaf will hear. The lame will walk. Sorrow and mourning will disappear. People will experience joy and gladness! We want that! We want it right now! In the Epistle of James, chapter 5, we are told to be patient. Be patient. Do not complain. Do not judge. In other words, let us turn all our anxieties, frustrations, resentments, disappointments over to God. As a result, we will experience joy and gladness. It is good to wait. Advent is a great model for our lives. We are to be patient, to seek the Lord and not to judge. We will inherit the crown of glory. That’s exciting. It is worth waiting for! So, let us empty ourselves, like the wise woman says. Let us be patient. Let us spend time in prayer. Let us read the scriptures. Let us worship the Lord. We are to calm down and be still. God is waiting for us. His gifts are beyond what we could ever hope for! Let us rejoice!!!

Sarah Overby Financial Representative for Thrivent Financial Tackling student loan debt requires early planning What does student debt look like in America? The numbers speak for themselves. In 2019, the Pew Research Center published a brief based on data from the Federal Reserve Board.1 It revealed: • Americans owed more than $1.5 trillion in student loans at the end of March 2019, more than two times what they owed a decade earlier. • About one-third of adults under age 30 have student loan debt. Among adults ages 18 to 29, 34 percent say they have outstanding student loans for their own education. With these kinds of figures, it’s important for families to start planning early. As a part of that, parents and students should sit down together, discuss their higher education goals and develop a smart strategy for financing college. It may be wise to partner with a financial professional who can provide additional guidance and help answer important questions, including: • What is the true cost of college? – Families should estimate the cumulative cost of education for schools on their children’s bucket list and evaluate what financial resources they have available to cover those costs. • How can loans help? – Families should research the loan options available to them and identify what will work best given their financial
What is Advance Care Planning? Advance Care Planning is a process of making decisions about the care you would want to receive if you become unable to speak for yourself. These are your decisions to make and are based on your personal values, preference, beliefs, and discussions with your loved ones. Your wishes and preferences can be stated in an Advance Directive - a legal document that goes into effect only if you are incapacitated and unable to speak for yourself. This could be the result of a disease/illness or an unexpected event or accident causing a brain injury no matter how old you are. By creating an Advance Directive, you have the opportunity to plan ahead for what type of care you would want; it helps others know what your wishes and preferences are for your health care. Advance Care Planning can help reduce stress and anxiety for individuals and their families and provide you with the opportunity to receive the type of health care that you would want
Financial Corner with Sarah circumstances. • What scholarships and grants are available? – Students should be proactive about exploring scholarship and grant opportunities and work with a guidance counselor to understand the criteria for applying. • What options do I have besides loans? – Students have many options to help tackle debt including working while in school, looking for lower cost schools, living off campus to save money on housing costs, and enlisting the help of family and friends that may want to support their educational efforts. • How do I get rid of my debt? – Students with debt should have a strategy for paying back loans within 10 years. Budgeting, refinancing, consolidation and federal repayment options can help graduates manage their monthly payments. As with any major financial decision, investing in higher education requires forethought and planning. Children and parents should navigate the journey together and be open to seeking help when they need it to make sure they are on the best path to being wise with money. 1Pew Research Center – 5 facts about student loans: https:// w w w. p e w r e s e a r c h . o r g / f a c t tank/2019/08/13/facts-about-student-loans/ Thrivent Financial is represented in the Langdon area by Financial Representative Sarah Overby at 716 3rd St, Langdon, (701) 256-2932.

when you are not able to speak for yourself. Advance Care Planning includes: • Selecting a substitute decisionmaker (healthcare agent) who will make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to speak for yourself. • Deciding what type of treatments you would want or not want if you were diagnosed with a lifelimiting illness or a permanent brain injury. • Getting information on the types of life-sustaining treatments that are available. In considering treatment decisions, your personal values are key. • Reflecting on your values and goals and what is important to you. • Putting your wishes and preferences in writing by completing an Advance Directive form. You do not need an attorney to complete an Advance Directive. North Dakota law regarding Advance Directives: The ND law regarding Advance Directives, states that “As a competent adult, you have the right to control decisions about your own health care. You have the right to accept or to refuse any treatment, service, or procedure used to diagnose, treat, or care for your physical or mental condition. You have the right to make your own health care decisions as long as you have the ability to: 1. Understand and appreciate the nature and consequences of a health care decision; and 2. Communicate a health care decision. Your right to decide includes the right to control the use of medical technology in regard to your health care. Part of your right to make your own medical decisions is your right to decide, based upon your values, the extent to which medical technology should be used and under what circumstances. Your right to decide also includes the right to make decisions regarding the artificial giving of nutrition and hydration. CCMH policy regarding Advance Directives: It is the policy of Cavalier County Memorial Hospital to attempt to honor, whenever possible, the pa-
tient’s wishes and desires as stated verbally and/or written in the patient’s Advance Directive. However, CCMH will not honor health care requests, verbal and/or written in an Advance Directive, which ask for active interventions designated to terminate life. If the facility or medical provider is unable or unwilling to follow the patient’s requests, the patient will be informed and given the option to transfer to another medical provider and/or medical facility that will provide the treatment requested by the patient. The patient has the right to request a transfer to another facility and right to request a change in health care providers. Advance Care Planning assistance: Cavalier County Memorial Hospital & Clinics is offering assistance with Advance Care Planning. If you have questions or need help with completing an Advance Directive, the CCMH social worker/ Advance Care Planning certified facilitator is available to provide assistance. (Contact 256-6189 to make an appointment). North Dakota approved Advance Directive forms are available at the hospital. Information about Advance Care Planning is also available on several websites: www.honoringchoicesnd.org; www.respectingchoice. org; www.nhdd.org; www.theconversationproject.org; www.nd.gov/ humanservices/; www.aha.org/ puritinwriting; www.eldercare.acl. gov; www.caringinfo.org. Questions? For answers to questions that you may have about Advance Directives, you can visit with the CCMH Advance Care Planning certified facilitator; talk with your medical provider about treatment options; obtain information from the websites listed above; and talk with your family and people you trust about your wishes and preferences for health care and treatment. If you do this when you are healthy, you can make choices about the health care that you want when you are unable to speak for yourself.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
Lady Cards open season with 59-35 thumping of Shiloh Christian By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team had a rather bizarre opening to their 2019-20 season. In what was to be their first game of the year at home versus North Border on Dec. 6 turned out not to be. The Eagles have low numbers this season, and two of those players were injured in their first week. So it turned out that the Lady Cards JV played the North Border varsity, with the Cardinals winning 59-35 behind 19 points and five 3-pointers from freshman Oliva Chirstianson and 14 points from Marlee Hetletved. The Cardinals varsity finally got on the floor in another home game Dec. 7 against Shiloh Christian, who came up the way up from Bismarck to play the game. Langdon-
Edmore-Munich won the contest handily 59-35 for their first win of the season. After hosting Thompson on Dec. 14, the Cardinals have two games before the Christmas Break, at home in Edmore versus Benson County on Dec. 16, then in Langdon against Bottineau on Dec. 20. The Lady Cards traded baskets with Shiloh Christian, then their defense took over. The Cardinals forced 25 first half turnovers and at one time in the second quarter led by a stunning score of 30-4. They would maintain that lead for the most part the rest of the way. A very balanced scoring attack was another big part of the victory, as nine different players got into the score book. Senior Callie Ronningen, who went over 1,000 rebounds for her career in this game, had a game high 17 points, while Morgan

HOCKEY Blades split first two league games of the season By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
After an opening exhibition win over a team from Morden, MB, the Langdon Blades junior gold hockey team got their league schedule underway the weekend of Dec. 6-7 with two North Dakota league games, coming back to beat Fargo 7-6 on Dec. 6 then losing to Grand Forks 6-0 on Dec. 7. After the weekend the Blades record stood at 2-1 overall and 1-1 in conference games. Langdon now plays in a league jamboree in Fargo Dec. 13-15 where they will take on Richland, Crosby and Watford City, then they are off until after the new year. In their game with Fargo, the
Blades had a great start, scoring the first three goals of the contest. Tanner Olson had the first lamplighter, followed by two from Peyton Ullyott. But Fargo would regroup, putting in five straight goals before Danny Muhs got the Blades within one with a score of his own. Trailing by two going into the third period, the Blades got hot and came back to win the game with three goals in the last frame from Peyton Ullyott then tying and eventual winning goals from Isak Dease. Something new this year in junior gold hockey is that the periods are now 17 minutes long compared to 20 in the past. This definitely makes comebacks hard to do, but the Blades still got it done. Peyton
Ullyott finished with a hat trick, and Sid Ullyott got a play maker honor with five assists. Cooper Zimmer also had two assists for Langdon. Logan Harder had 17 saves in goal, and the Blades outshot the Freeze 37-23. In the game the next night versus Grand Forks, the Blades faced a hot goalie in Noah Benjamin. He was solid all night at net, shutting out Langdon with 24 saves. Grand Forks has a talented, deep team this year as they had six goals scored by six different players. The Blades did have their chances, as four shots hit the pipe. Harder had 26 saves, and Grand Forks out shot Langdon 32-24.

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Brush with the Bunch
How do you say “another year has passed“ without it sounding so morbid. At the Brush Bunch it has been good; we have had another wonderful year. It has also been sad as we lost another member with the passing of our friend and fellow Brush Bunch member, Dave Gray. R.I.P. Dave. We continue with all of our many projects. It seem as if we are always changing the seasonal window display (thanks to Desiree from Blu Soul Design for the winter display - it‘s beautiful). It seems as if we are always moving our art display areas (every four months). It seems as we are always having meetings (first Tuesday of every month). It seems as if we are always building a July 4th float. Does that mean time is moving too fast or is it just us? Christmas will soon be upon us while we are on our annual break. We had our Christmas party on December 3- it was fantastic. Thanks to Carol and her crew for a beautifully decorated gallery. The social hour and dinner were great and so much delicious food. After our gift exchange and games, Laurel‘s yes and no game and Carol‘s “Lets Make a Deal“, Andi was the contestant called to come down from the audience, I think. She just about cleaned house, and we HAD to eat, again. After all, what is dinner without dessert? We at the Brush Bunch, some of us shown, want to wish our readers, friends, family and the newspapers who carry our articles a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God willing, we will be back on January 7 to prepare for our 49th annual Art Show and Sale in May of 2020. Remember “The Reason for the Season!“ God Bless, and have a great one! by Leo Beauchamp
A busy Pre-Christmas week ahead We are just a couple of days away from the Christmas Break for area schools, and there is a flurry of activity leading up to it. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys and girls basketball teams each will two games before school lets out. The Lady Cards will play a home game in Edmore versus Benson County on Dec. 16, then another home game Dec. 20 in Langdon against Bottineau. The Cardinals boys team will also be busy, with a game on the road at Minto on Dec. 17, then at home taking on North Border on Dec. 19. As we have said here before, both Cardinals teams are very talented this year (The Lady Cards forced 20 turnovers in the FIRST QUARTER in their first game and win against Shiloh Christian), so we hope everyone takes advantage of getting a chance to see them play live this week. Both team also have game over the break, which we will talk about next week. Ellingson completes a great run at NAIA National Vollleyball Tourney We always love to report on how local athletes are doing on the college stage. One such person is Langdon graduate Sydney Ellingson, who is in her third year
play volleyball for the University of Jamestown. Her Jimmies had a fantastic year, winning the Great Plains Conference Tournament and advancing to the National NAIA Tourney held in Sioux City, IA Dec. 2-7. They played five matches in the tournament, making it all the way to the semifinals. The Jimmies finished their season with a record of 33-6. Sydney is listed as a defensive specialist on the team, and she led her squad 663 digs for the year. She has carved quite an impressive career with the Jimmies, and she will be looking forward to another big run for he senior season next fall. Way to go Syd!
Ronningen goes over 1,000 career rebounds Another athletic milestone was reached recently by Langdon-Edmore-Munich senior forward Callie Ronningen. In her first game of the season against Shiloh Christian, Callie went over 1,000 rebounds for her career. This is just another feat that she has made, as she also went over 2,000 career kills and 2,000 career digs in this past volleyball season. Callie and her team are ranked second in the state this year in the first couple of girls basketball polls, and they have some lofty goals this year. We wish Callie and whole program the best of luck in achieving them, as they are poised to have a very successful season. "See ya!" next week!

Cavalier County Republican
Achievement winner recognized David and Kristine Lundeby is the Soil Conservation Achievement Awards Program winners from the Cavalier County Soil Conservation District, were honored at the 81st Annual Meeting of the North Dakota Association of Soil Conservation Districts held on November 24-26 in Bismarck. David and Kristine Lundeby received a 16 inch by 20 inch framed colored aerial photograph of their farmstead. A photo of the Lundeby Farmstead and Family was shown on a large screen to over 600 conservationists attending the annual recognition banquet. A second photograph of the Lundeby’s Farmstead has been placed in the traveling Soil Conservation Achievement Awards Program Exhibit where it will be displayed at the North Dakota State Fair, several agricultural shows and at many shopping centers for the next year. A third photograph has been placed in the Cavalier County Soil Conservation District office “Hall of Fame”. The North Dakota Soil Conserva-
tion Achievement Awards Program is a statewide program where each of the 56 Soil Conservation Districts recognize farmers and ranchers who have made an outstanding effort to conserve their valuable soil resource. Soil conservation practices used by David and Kristine Lundeby are Farmstead Windbreaks, Conservation Tillage System, Wildlife Wetland Habitat Management and Grassed Waterways. The North Dakota Soil Conservation Achievement Awards Program is sponsored by the North Dakota Newspaper Association, North Dakota State Soil Conservation Committee, North Dakota State University Extension Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, the North Dakota Association of Soil Conservation Districts and each soil conservation district. The North Dakota Soil Conservation Achievement Awards Program is the only program of its kind in the nation. It has continued since 1948.
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has announced that applications are now being accepted for 2020 Specialty Crop Grants. “Projects that solely enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in North Dakota are eligible for these grants,” Goehring said. “We encourage organizations, institutions and individuals to submit proposals on their own or in partnerships.” North Dakota has not yet received an allocation amount from USDA’s Agriculture Marketing Service but is expected to receive it in the next few months. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) will distribute the funds through a competitive grant program. Eligible applications include enhancing food safety; pest and disease control; developing new and improved seed varieties and specialty crops; and increasing child and adult nutrition knowledge and consumption of specialty crops. Projects that directly benefit spe-
cific, commercial products or profit a single organization, institution or individual are not eligible. The USDA defines specialty crops as “fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture and nursery crops.” Specialty crops grown commercially in North Dakota include dry beans, dry peas, lentils, potatoes, confection sunflowers, grapes, honey and various vegetables. Goehring said an information manual with application instructions, scoring criteria and an application template can be found on NDDA’s website: https://www. nd.gov/ndda/administrativeservices-division/specialty-cropblock-grant-program. Applications must be submitted in electronic form by 4 p.m. CDT Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020. Applications will then be reviewed, scored, ranked and provided to Agriculture Commissioner Goehring to determine which applications will be forwarded to USDA for final approval in May of 2020. Projects funded by the grants start Oct. 1, 2020 and must be completed by Sept. 30, 2022. Goehring said persons needing more information should contact Deanna Gierszewski at (701) 3282191 or scbg@nd.gov.

Using CREC Fruit: A Cake for Comfort (CREC- Carrington Research Extension Center) The horrors of 2019 harvesting season will stay in my memory forever and probably for many farming families who are still struggling to get their crops into bins. I wonder sometimes, how farmers can do this every year? Do their best and work hard to raise a good crop only to see that Mother Nature and Markets have the final say on whether you are going to make money or lose!! But, I have to say that I admire their courage to start fresh every year, hoping that the next year will be better! Kudos to their brave spirits!! To shift gears, its holiday season and I want to share an article by one our colleagues who is helping us to put everybody in the holiday mood. I hope you would try this recipe and forget your worries for a moment!! This sounds delicious and I am going to give it a try. In Kathy’s’ words……… Like most people, I often take my work home. But in my case, I take home CREC fruit to see how it processes so

NDSU Extension Notes
that I know when people ask me. I know that our newer black currant berries have a lot more pectin that our past varieties when made into jam. I know that even though I always dreamed of making red currant jelly, I don’t really like it. Even though some fresh Juneberries have less flavor, they still make great pie! Aronia berries are not great fresh but frozen berries are amazingly good in oatmeal, yogurt and banana bread. Grapes take 12-24 hours to turn into raisins! And while Honeycrisp apples last the longest, I know that Zestar apples make the tastiest dried apples. Here is a recipe for a cake that I made for a recent meeting at CREC. It received many compliments: Teddie’s Apple Cake 3 cups peeled, cored and diced (1/2”) tart apples, like Honeycrisp ½ tsp grated lemon peel and some juice squeezed over the apples 1 ¼ cups vegetable oil 1 ½ cups sugar 3 eggs 3 cups flour (2c all-purpose, 1c whole wheat) ¾ tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp nutmeg 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup chopped nuts ½ cup raisins warmed in rum (I used homemade Somerset Seedless raisins) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch tube (Bundt) pan. Beat the oil and sugar together in a mixer (fitted with a paddle attachment) while assembling the remaining ingredients. After about 5 minutes, add the eggs and beat until the mixture is creamy.
Sift together 3 cups of flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking soda. Stir into the batter. Add the vanilla, apples, nuts and raisins (plus liquid) and stir until combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before turning out. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired. **This really is a nice cake. It keeps for days and can be made several days in advance. I usually blanch at this amount of oil, but it is important. It keeps the cake moist but not soggy and allows the crust to stay firm. I took note of user comments and the above recipe reflects the changes I made. The recipe and comments I used are behind a paywall, but this site has the exact original recipe: https://food52. com/recipes/19828-teddie-s-apple-cake Enjoy using your harvest!

Rural Development Finance Corporation awards grants in Cavalier Rural Electric’s service area
Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative is a member of the Rural Development Finance Corporation (RDFC). As a result, communities in our service area were eligible to apply for a grant of up to $2,000 for community-based projects. RDFC is making these funds available in order that more people become aware of their larger loan program that funds community-based projects and nonprofit entities with low interest loans. RDFC has recently granted $500 to the Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders (CCCC). CCCC is a non-profit group that raises money to help relieve some of the financial stress that comes with seeking and undergoing cancer treatment. Nearly all of the donations that are received, except for small overhead costs, go back to individuals in Cavalier County. Cavalier County Social Services also received a $500 grant from RDFC. These funds will be used to purchase gifts for underprivileged children in the county.
The third grant recipient was the American Legion Riders. American Legion Riders chapters are well known for their charitable work, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children’s hospitals, schools, veterans’ homes, severely wounded servicemembers and scholarships. Since 2006, Riders nationwide have participated in The American Legion Legacy Run to annually raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund, established to provide scholarships to children of U.S. military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001. The $500 grant funds will be to purchase Christmas gifts for the children of Cavalier County who do not receive gifts for Christmas. Finally, the Milton Rural Fire Department received $500 that will be put towards the purchase of new equipment for the department. For an application, assistance, or questions concerning RDFC, please contact Lori Capouch at 701-6676444 or lcapouch@ndarec.com.

Page 14 – Monday, December 16, 2019
By Rita Maisel
50 years ago Saturday, December 14, 2019, is a special day for some of my extended family since on that date my cousin, Craig, will be 50 years old. While Craig now lives in Florida and his parents in Colorado, his mother had a special request for his birthday which she thought would be a good topic for a Long Ago column. The text she sent asked me to list 50 important things that happened in 1969. There were a few hurdles to jump along the way. A lot of important things happened in 1969. Pages of famous people were born or died that year. While their names might be memorable to Langdon Long Ago readers, but they had no connection to Craig or to the history of the Langdon community. Another possible hurdle was that Craig’s parents spent part of the 1969-1970 year in North Dakota while his father was teaching in Towner where their son was born. Moving back to Colorado when Craig was months old left him with few memories of our area. And then, there was the realization that I was still teaching in Colorado in 1969 so my memory of that specific year in North Dakota was slight. Readers who want to add to the lists I jotted down are welcome to add or subtract. You can also share corrected lists with local residents who may have turned 50 this year or might make that mark in the months to come. My memory of the births of relatives is that they tended to appear in clusters so the first five spots of my list were reserved for family births: Craig in December; my niece, Kathleen, in June; mutual cousin John
Cavalier County Republican
Wenzel in July plus additional cousins Darla Kaercher and Dwight Luhmann who would be familiar names to local readers. I suspect there were more births among the shirt-tail relatives. When you have many cousins, their exact years of birth tend to get mixed. National or international lists added a few thousand other happenings which included: 6. Neil Armstrong’s walk on the Moon. 7. The reportedly most expensive phone call ever made when President Nixon called the astronauts to congratulate them. 8. The death of President Eisenhower in the spring and his televised funeral and memorial services. 9. A major oil spill at Santa Barbara which closed their harbor and a month later closed their beaches. Oil spills would continue to be major news events in the future. 10. Super Bowl III had the New York Jets beating the Baltimore Colts 16-7 with Joe Namath as the MVP. Yes, some teams may have changed home bases since then. 11. Musically, Elvis recorded “The Long Black Train”, and most will recall newer recordings by more recent entertainers. Over in England the Beatles gave their last public performance from the roof of Apple Records, and you can still hear songs from that concert on popular play lists today. 12. Charles de Gaulle was no longer president of France as new leadership took over, and I remember my fourth graders asking, “Who will claim to be God now?” Other rulers have had similar egos to de Gaulle. 13. Apollo missions 9, 10, 11 and 12 would be headlines in the news each day as would the war in Viet Nam with long casualty lists.
Langdon Long Ago
14. Midnight Cowboy was released, John Lennon married Yoko Ono, Scooby Doo aired for the first time in September and Judy Garland died in June. Kissinger was traveling around the world discussing détente. 15. The Manson Family Murders shocked and horrified much of the country with their brutality and the trials that followed. 16. Oct. 31 may have been Halloween but what made it historic for many readers could be the fact that WalMart Incorporated on that day and has been expanding ever since. 17. International firsts were Boeing 747 making its first passenger flight (we are told the 191 passengers were media and publications people), while the first strain of AIDS was traceable as entering the US from Haiti. 1969 also opened new doors when women were allowed to join the Future Farmers of America. 18. Woodstock took place near an Ontario village and thousands of teens, musicians and curiosity seekers attended. Time, Life and Look magazines featuring original pictures of the attendees are now collector’s items. However, a column about local history needs a few items about the way our area was changing daily, and 1969 is a great place to start. 19. 1969 marked the first graduation which included all seniors from Langdon High School plus the St. Alphonsus graduates whose high school had closed with the end of the 1968 term. This combined group had totaled 100 receiving diplomas in 1968 but ranked as the largest to date for LHS in 1969 with 93 diplomas issued. It is possible at least one or two of that special group live near you or attend your church today. 20. ICBM installations were mostly complete both east and west of Langdon. Many workers who helped to construct the silos were living and working in our area while living in basements, third floor apartments, trailer courts and emergency housing. The ABM and PAR sites were under construction, or at least on the drawing boards, bringing in waves of new residents to our area whose children swelled the classrooms across Cavalier County. 21. Langdon’s new elementary had been built, but there were still active schools across the county absorbing the former country school students as well as the influx from the missile era. Milton, Osnabrock, Nekoma, Alsen, Hampden, Munich, Border Central, Hannah, Langdon, and St. Alphonsus all had elementary classrooms. A new high school at Langdon was a big subject of conversation and would be built soon in an area that would be called the Ramage Addition north of the City Park. Meanwhile the old Langdon Public School was home to middle school and high school with tournaments and other community events located in the gym constructed in the late 1930s with WPA and other government assistance. This was a busy transition era aided by buses

known as the Masonic Temple and had a few offices on the first floor. Some remember Dr. Hughes dental office and possibly Dr. Bodelson’s Optometry. In the basement were spots where older men played cards and smoked cigars. The Commercial Club (later Chamber) also had dinners there. 37. There were a few houses being built in the Mukomela and Hannesson Additions to Langdon but much of what we now think of as the western part of the city was still farmland. 38. The County Fairgrounds had vanished and realty offices were busy encouraging potential residents to buy lots and build in that area. The location seemed “far out of town” to many people in 1969. 39. There was a Drive in Movie (sorry I don’t remember who ran it in that era) and the Roxy had a full schedule of movies with Swede Bartlett in charge. 40. I am told there were four or five hardware stores and at least that many grocery stores - all either on Main Street within a block east or west. Most of the time there were two bakeries on that street. 41. Hawley’s was a hang out for teenagers and adults – hamburgers and meals on special arrangements. There were also numerous eating places for a cup of coffee or a meal. 42. The library had moved to a large office in the courthouse (formerly staffed by ASCS personnel we are told). Mrs. Donovan came to serve as librarian two days a week. 43. Streets had names but no house numbers. The numerical streets and avenues we have now came later and are remembered as part of the changes the missiles made in the Langdon community. 44. Clothing stores were up and down Main Street. J.C. Penney’s was where Boyd Block is today and Sandums or Tholkes on the west side. Jo Mary had a dress shop, Charriers catered to the needs of the men, and yes, there were shoe stores or shoes available in the department stores. 45. DeVold’s Dime Store had a little of everything. 46. A surprising array of automobiles and farm implements were available on Main Street, and while some have moved out of town today a number of the companies are still in business. 47. There were several barber shops (today there is one under that listing) and four or five beauty parlors. Area residents wanted to look their best. 48. Several bars were located under stores. Today some of the businesses are still operating but on a higher location. There has always been more than one lumber yard, and today at least one of those is still on the same lot purchased in 1887 but under newer management. 49. The courthouse, jail and other county facilities still occupy the location purchased in the 1890s. Currently they have their second building 50. The Cavalier County Republican is still being published weekly after more than a century with a variety of locations for their offices.

and lunch programs. 22. Three story St. Mary’s Hospital was on the present location of the CCMH Clinic and staffed by Presentation Sisters. Doctors had offices in the Fischer Building, a few had been in the Masonic building, and there must have been plans to build a newer clinic. 23. The dates are not exact, but the future home of the Cavalier County Historical Society was being discussed and paperwork prepared for it to open at Dresden the following year. 24. There were eight or nine churches in Langdon at the time with some of them on different locations than they are today and several with different names. Some still had Sunday evening services and an array of legendary choirs. Most of the remaining churches looked different on the interior than they do today. Some will tell you the influx of missile people lead to newer ideas on church décor. 25. Al Lundquist had opened a modern business called a laundromat to the west of his dry cleaning establishment. 26. The second bank to open in modern times was Metropolitan on the present U.S. Bank location. In 1969 the original Langdon Bank (now known as Choice Financial) was located in the building which now houses the Eagles. 27. 1969 marked ten years since Langdon had had a passenger train, but the Greyhound Bus was still operating with a ticket counter at the UCT Hotel. Freight trains still ran regularly to Hannah and carried many carloads of grain to mills in larger cities. 28. Motels were coming into being, but the Nodak and UCT still offered hotel rooms. 29. There was an ice skating rink roughly south of the tracks maybe off the street called, at that time, Elevator Row. There was also roller skating at Nekoma. 30. A younger group had organized as Jaycees and would remain active for quite a few years. 31. The old airport was in use or transitioning to the airport we have today. They provided emergency flights, crop dusting or spraying and are recalled as having some air shows for community enjoyment. 32. A group was going door-todoor selling stock in a nursing home to be called Maple Manor. Shares sold for $100 each, and a rumor had it that if older residents purchased at least one share they would be cared for in their later years without having to pay any additional fees. An aunt convinced me to buy a share, and when she died, she left her share to me. The home opened in the fall of 1970. When my turn comes, I am told there will be a bill. 33. The Dairy Queen had another name but on the present location. 34. Rural customers had mail delivered to their farms. Everyone else got their mail at the Langdon Post Office. Many had boxes. 35. We still called the Research Center the Experimental Farm. I tend to think the Sturlaugson family still lived there. 36. The old Opera Hall was
