Congress OKs $1.9T virus relief bill in win for Biden, Dems By Alan Fram AP News

Find the latest from the Cavalier County Commission on Page 3 and Langdon Area School Board on Page 11.

Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889

A Congress riven along party lines approved the landmark $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill Wednesday, as President Joe Biden and Democrats claimed a major triumph on legislation marshaling the government’s spending might against twin pandemic and economic crises that have upended a nation. The House gave final congressional approval to the sweeping package by a near party line 220-211 vote precisely seven weeks after Biden entered the White House and four days after the Senate passed the bill. Republicans in both chambers opposed the legislation unanimously, characterizing it as bloated, crammed with liberal policies and heedless of signs the crises are easing. “Help is here,” Biden tweeted moments after the roll call, which ended with applause from Democratic lawmakers. Biden said he’d sign the measure Friday. Most noticeable to many Americans are provisions providing up to $1,400 direct pay-

ments this year to most people and extending $300 weekly emergency unemployment benefits into early September. But the legislation goes far beyond that. The measure addresses Dem-

525,000 people — about the population of Wichita, Kansas — and plunged the economy to its deepest depths since the Great Depression. “Today we have a decision to make of tremendous con-

ocrats’ campaign promises and Biden’s top initial priority of easing a one-two punch that first hit the country a year ago. Since then, many Americans have been relegated to hermitlike lifestyles in their homes to avoid a disease that’s killed over

sequence,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., “a decision that will make a difference for millions of Americans, saving lives and livelihoods.” For Biden and Democrats, the bill is essentially a canvas on which they’ve painted their

core beliefs — that government programs can be a benefit, not a bane, to millions of people and that spending huge sums on such efforts can be a cure, not a curse. The measure so closely tracks Democrats’ priorities that several rank it with the top achievements of their careers, and despite their slender congressional majorities there was never real suspense over its fate. They were also empowered by three dynamics: their unfettered control of the White House and Congress, polls showing robust support for Biden’s approach, and a moment when most voters care little that the national debt is soaring toward a stratospheric $22 trillion. Neither party seems much troubled by surging red ink, either, except when the other is using it to finance its priorities, be they Democratic spending or GOP tax cuts. Republicans noted that they’ve overwhelmingly supported five previous relief bills that Congress has approved since the pandemic struck a year ago, when divided government under then-Presicont. on page 2

COVID-19 one year later; Where do we go from here Borgen inducted into Hall of Fame As the country continues its journey through the pandemic, pharmaceutical companies are creating vaccines at record paces. Under Operation Warp Speed, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the first vaccination in December 2020, less than a year after the first COVID-19 case was declared in the U.S. As of the end of January 2021, about 10.6 million Americans had received at least their first dose. Unfortunately, the country recorded its highest number of monthly deaths from the virus in the same month with over 95,000 lost Americans, up from approximately 77,000 in December. Health and public officials encourage those most at risk to receive a vaccination before it is available to the masses. Here’s what to expect regarding how to get a vaccine and what to anticipate. Available Vaccines As of the end of January 2021, the FDA had approved only two vaccinations deemed safe and effective to protect people. Check out how the three life-saving vaccines differ, as explained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. • Pfizer-BioNTech: To obtain the most protective results, two doses are required, 21 days apart.

The vaccine proved to be 95% effective in preventing COVID-19 and is considered safe for those 16 and older. • Moderna: The vaccine requires two doses, 28 days apart. It showed 94.1% effectiveness in clinical studies and is considered safe for those 18 and older. • Astra Zeneca: A single shot of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vac-

cine is highly protective, reducing the chance of someone getting ill and needing hospital treatment by more than 80%. The CDC reports that multiple potential vaccines are currently undergoing large-scale (phase three) clinical trials in the United States. Mass Availability According to Reuters, experts estimate that at least 70% of the roughly 330 million Americans require the vaccine before we

can reach herd immunity. As developers work to up the country’s inventory and present new options, the CDC anticipates that mass availability will be possible around April of 2021. How COVID-19 Vaccines Work A new approach to vaccines was required to combat the widespread COVID-19 threat. Previous vaccinations triggered an immune response by introducing a weakened or inactivated virus into our bodies. Today’s mRNA concoctions work differently. After injecting the medicine into a human’s upper arm muscle, the fluid teaches our cells how to make a protein that produces antibodies. The harmless protectant, called a spike protein, is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19 and prepares our bodies to fight off an infection. Technology’s Role during COVID While Americans were asked to socially distance from others, including their own family, we sought ways to keep in touch. We found solace in innovative apps and software, and creative minds used technology to document their appreciation for frontline cont. on page 3

By Linda Timian Republican Writer Tom Borgen and Neal Fisher were inducted into the North Dakota Agricultural Hall of Fame on March 10 during the 84th Annual ND Winter Show in Valley City. Borgen is a retired farmer from the Langdon area and past president of the Northern Canola Growers Association (NCGA). Fisher is the Administrator of

the ND Wheat Commission. Borgen was recognized for his efforts in bringing canola growing to the United States from Canada. He became aware of the Canadian canola plant while looking for an alternative crop to rotate with his other grains while farming near Langdon. He went to Canada to ask about the crop and if it would work in his operation. Altona,

Manitoba, was the nearest location that would take canola at that time. “In order to grow canola in the US,” said Borgen, “producers needed EPA approval and registration of canola crop protection products, FDA approval that canola was fit for human consumption, and Federal Crop Insurance programs that included canola.” The NCGA was established in

1994 by a group of area farmers and NDSU. Barry Coleman was the first staff person hired March 1, 1999, and has been the executive director ever since. “Tom was a tireless advocate for canola during his leadership with the organization, and he continues to be a canola advocate even in retirement,” said Coleman. ”He always has a cont. on page 3

Cavalier County Commissioners meeting held ed work gets done even while County 13 is the priority. Concerning load limits, it was stated and understood that when the state puts load limits on, the county will put theirs on. When the state takes them off, the county will take theirs off. Jill Denault, director of the North Valley Human Services Zone, attended the meeting virtually and presented a plan to upgrade the phone system for the Zone that saves about $2000.00 overall per year. The new system would have an auto attendant to direct calls, each county would be able to keep their original phone numbers, staff would have a business cell phone that could be used at home when working from home, and calls could be transferred between the offices without long distance charges. Discussion on how to split the new consolidated bill settled on adding all phone expenses over the past year, calculating each county’s percentage, and splitting the new bill according to those same percentages. The actual cell phones are free through the end of March by special offer. Moser made a motion to approve the new phone contract proposal working with the percentages to equalize the amount paid per county, Commissioner Stanley Dick seconded, motion carried. Public Health Nurse Steph Welsh provided a COVID vaccine update. A total of 2193 first and second doses have been administered. 41 percent of Cavalier County age 18 and over has had first dose and 25.7 percent have had second dose. There is an online registration required for every dose given, so any Cavalier County resident doses are included in those numbers even if they get a dose somewhere else. They use those numbers when deciding to move to the next priority group. There are 3 active cases in the county right now. They are starting to see clusters of COVID popping up in the state, and that is concerning. They have found variants of the virus in 7 people in 3 different groups. Vaccine allocation has changed a bit. Previously, the Health District received about 100 doses 2 out of 3 weeks in rotation. Now they look to get a base allocation of about 50 doses every week. She has seen a shift to Moderna for small health districts. Recently, the Department of Health asked is any Public Health Districts wanted any Johnson & Johnson vaccine. She said yes and plans to use those

By Linda Timian Republican Writer The County Commission met for their normal business meeting on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. The commissioners passed an Emergency Fire Declaration and posted a notice in this newspaper. Emergency Manager Karen Kempert will post the Cavalier County Emergency Management Facebook page with daily updates on the fire index and whether burning is allowed. Kempert reported that they have been having trouble with the base station that has Towner County fire and EMS on it. It will cost just under $2500.00 to fix, and it has to be done. Also, Homeland Security has authorized the use of Homeland Security funds for radios. Along with the $1500 the county/fire departments receive for radios, the fire department will be able to apply for a grant to make up the difference, resulting in no out of pocket cost for the new radios. Commissioner Greg Goodman asked Kempert to visit with the ambulance crew to see if they want to put tracking pucks in the ambulances. Department of Transportation is asking counties and cities to have projects ready to act quickly on if funding becomes available. Permits are taking more time so the structure replacement for County 45 contract was presented to sign. Commissioner Nick Moser made a motion for Goodman to sign the contract, Commissioner Austin Lafrenz seconded, motion carried. The County 13 gravel project is scheduled to be bid on April 9th. County employees Phil Wold, Shawn Hall, and Shawn Amundson attended the meeting to discuss expectations on preparation for the project. Concerning reclaiming, the team will run the reclaimer up and down the length of the road and let it dry. They will pull the sides in 2-3 mile sections. Farmers with heavy equipment can detour for a short time while a section is being done. The commissioners will ensure communication to the public as to what is being done, when, and where. The team will start now, adjusting as frost and road conditions dictate. Johnston will contact contractors on their bid list to get quotes for the digouts. Road districts will help each other with blading while the reclaiming is being done. Other township reclaiming requests should be communicated to their commissioner if they want it done light or heavy to make sure all need-

in an evening clinic if she does get those doses. Welsh said she expects to see vaccines available for teenagers by summer, as there are trials going on now incrementally by age group. Since different vaccinations need to be spaced out, they are working at getting the 7th graders their usual required vaccinations now. Goodman raised the discussion of House Bill 1183 which has to do with sewage regulations and his concerns that more regulations spawn more expenditures. He is concerned with how the state comes up with the rules - that they don’t impede real estate transactions and add red tape to whatever you need to do. Welsh stated that Candace Carlson from Lake Region Public Health, Abby Borchardt, and State’s Attorney Scott Stewart have been working on a resolution. They are on the agenda for the Public Health meeting in April. Dick suggested that if the resolution is a good compromise agreeable to those three parties, it should be forwarded to the state as they are looking for input and answers.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

Working with an old friend… Once in a while a person stands out, and when that happens, I try to write about that individual as a sort of recognition for going above and beyond. Over the years I’ve written about Kent Meidinger, a young man from Edgeley who revolutioned FM radio in car stereo. There was Irvin Drath, a grain elevator employee in Hazen who personified Hazen, the grain elevator industry, and farmers across western North Dakota. I’ve written about Marc Bluestone, who is retired now. He was the school superintendent in New Town who stayed after school on a regular basis to have extra classes for failing students so they could graduate from high school. Most recently, it was Al Schmidt of Berthold, who was chief of police there and has taken some of the most dangerous criminals off the street. He’s made numerous, high profile drug busts, he arrested the most notorious outlaw from the state of Arizona, and he took a Minot Air Force Base captain into custody for operating a prostitution ring in Minot. These are the individual people I’ve written about. This time it’s to honor friend and former co-worker Larry Stokke of Langdon. Larry has been a good friend for a long time, but more importantly, it’s what he does for his community that’s key here. He’s a photographer for the sports teams and the Cavalier County Republican. He is also employed at D&B Motors, the GM dealership in Langdon. Larry was at the State Class B Girls Basketball Tournament to capture the action of the Langdon Cardinals, who took fifth in a win over Kenmare. I was working the tournament as a reporter for the Kenmare News, and Larry was there on behalf of the Republican. It reminded me of how well we worked together when I was operating the Republican in Langdon in the late 1990s. We went to numerous tournaments and other events together, and that first weekend in March in Minot was a reminder of better days that have gone by. So, in effect, Larry and I got to work together again, even if it was only for two hours. And after all these years, he is still as good as he was in 1997. His photos are creative, crisp, and clear; they show action; they show emotion; they show determination as well as euphoria and sorrow. When I talked to Larry on Saturday, he had arrived in the Minot State University Dome just before game time. He told me that he was at the tournament Thursday when the Langdon Cardinals played the Carrington Cardinals. He left after the game, drove back to Langdon so he could be at a state hockey tournament on Friday. He shot that venue then turned around and headed back to Minot for the

fifth-place game. That’s dedication folks, and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, because that’s exactly how he was when we worked together week to week at the Langdon newspaper. It’s also the same dedication for the players and the team he had when the 2018 Langdon Cardinals volleyball team played Kenmare in the state Class B volleyball tournament. You just don’t meet people like Larry every day. Perhaps that’s why he is only the fifth specific person I’ve written about in the past seven years. People like Larry Stokke are rare. All the kids in Langdon know him because he’s always at their sporting events taking photos. Consider this - I’ve known him for 25 years, and I know he was doing photography prior to 1996. That’s a long time to be going to Tuesday night games in Bottineau or Grand Forks. It’s a long time to be carrying camera equipment around the northeastern part of the state, from rodeo to baseball. But, as mentioned earlier, that’s dedication to his job. Not only does he do it well, he’s consistent at it and the quality of his work shows in many of the photos you see weekly in the Republican. And Larry never wavered in the four years we worked together. If I had assignments, he always carried them out, almost to a T. He’s obviously the kind of person you want to have on your staff because of productivity as well, another quality not mentioned earlier. As former editor of the Republican, I was always happy to work with Larry on any assignment. And that’s how it was in Minot. I told my wife that because Langdon and Kenmare were both in the state tournament, there was a possibility the teams could meet, and we could work together again. They did, and we did! But our relationship is more than work-related. I’m also proud to call Larry Stokke a good friend.

Holmes’ defense of Freedom of Speech Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes’ invention in 1919, in Schenck v. United States, of the Clear and Present Danger Test, provided little protection for dissenters who opposed America’s role in World War I. Charles Schenck went to prison for encouraging draft resisters. A newspaper publisher was sentenced to prison for publishing anti-draft articles. Eugene Debs, the famous labor organizer, was sent to prison for 10 years for a speech in which he praised those who resisted the draft. As one prominent constitutional scholar, Harry Kalven, observed, “It is somewhat as though George McGovern had been sent to prison for his criticism of the Vietnam War.” The grim reality of the court’s use of the Clear and Present Danger Test for the next 30 years was that it ignored the value of dissenting speech. Critiques and criticisms of governmental programs, policies and actions lead often to improvement. Further, in the context of war, criticism is particularly useful. Dissenting speech can expose and illuminate poor policies and strategies that undermine the nation’s goal of winning the war, as quickly as possible. To his credit, Justice Holmes, smarting from stinging criticism from friends, colleagues and admirers, reevaluated his construction of the Clear and Present Danger Test, and made a significant change. Rather than punishing dissenters for the “intent” of their speech, Holmes, in a dissenting opinion in Abrams v.

Let government know who’s boss By Ken Paulson When government fails, it’s the rare public official who says, “Oops. My fault.” That’s human nature, particularly for officials in the public eye who may have to run for office again. No one wants to be held directly responsible for letting the public down. Case in point is the recent catastrophe in Texas, when unexpected winter storms left 4 million homes without power, ruptured pipes and tainted the water supply for many. Texas’ energy grid essentially collapsed. While Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was quick to blame frozen wind turbines, the cause was much more complex than that. To truly understand how things went so terribly wrong will require time, study and research. So, too, with the coronavirus vaccine distribution. In this state and others, residents are frustrated with the slow rollout of vaccines. Is it poor distribution? Politics? A flawed strategy? These are literally matters of life and death. But how do you get to the truth when public officials so rarely step

up to take direct responsibility for failures? The answer is public records. And public meetings. And access to the information that taxpayers deserve. States throughout the country have laws that guarantee access to government records and meetings. But the details vary widely and there are many statutory exceptions. New challenges to access emerge every year in virtually every state. The need to fight for government transparency is reaffirmed each year during Sunshine Week, a national awareness event overseen by the News Leaders Association and keyed to the March 16 birthday of James Madison. The fourth president of the United States drafted the Bill of Rights – including the guarantee of a free press – in 1791. That journalism connection reflects the role news media play in the free flow of information, but it unfortunately can also leave the public with a sense that Sunshine Week reflects the concerns of a single industry. To the contrary, access to government information is critical to every American who cares about the qual-

United States, just nine months after Schenck, shifted his emphasis to the “effect” of the speech. The question, now, asks whether the speaker is effective in persuading people to resist the draft. In Abrams v. United States, the majority, following Holmes’ reasoning in Schenck, upheld the conviction of Abrams, who had mailed flyers opposing military conscription. Holmes, joined by Justice Louis D. Brandeis, filed one of the greatest dissents in American history. Having changed his mind about the standard that should govern the protection accorded speech, from the “intent” of the speech to the “effect” of the speech, Holmes declared Abrams a “puny anonymity.” Like Schenck before him, Abrams failed to persuade people to resist the draft. Consequently, his speech did not pose a present danger to the nation and was within the umbrella of First Amendment protection. Justice Holmes’ dissent is justly remembered for its final paragraph, in which he eloquently described the classic rationale for freedom of speech in America’s democracy. Holmes wrote that awareness of the fact that “time has upset many fighting faiths” should give pause to those who would “persecute” opinions at odds with their own. The real test is the ability of an idea to win acceptance in the “marketplace” of ideas, where the only standard is the “truth” of the proposition. The truth of an idea is determined through competition, that is, rigorous analysis grounded on discussion and debate. Holmes’ emphasis on the truth of an idea owes its inspiration to the powerful argument of John Milton who, in 1644, penned a beautiful essay, Areopagitica, attacking censorship and defending a full airing of ideas to determine which views deserve respect. “In a free and open encounter between the doctrines of truth and winds of falsehood,” Mil-

ity of his or her community, state and nation. It’s important to see government employees – including elected officials – as the people we hire through our tax dollars to do a good job for all of us. If you run a business or hire a contractor, you wouldn’t hesitate to demand a full understanding of how something went wrong. That should be exactly our relationship with government. Getting that information, though, requires public meetings where residents can ask questions. It also means access to the documents that led to a poor decision. Words on paper can be much more forthright than the dissembling of politicians. It’s critical that we hold government accountable, for better or worse. (It’s also important to acknowledge when government leaders are doing a good job.) How can you help? I have two suggestions. First, keep doing exactly what

ton wrote, “whoever knew the truth put to the worse.” The competition of ideas in the marketplace, then, should not be prematurely undercut by governmental intervention. “I think we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country.” Only such an emergency permits an exception to the “sweeping command” of the First Amendment, “Congress shall make no law abridging free speech.” Abrams, like most dissenters from a war, which President Woodrow Wilson declared, a “war to make the world safe for democracy,” exercised little influence. As a result, governmental suppression, indeed punishment, of such speech was wholly unnecessary and destructive of democratic processes and democratic ends. In a democracy, dissenting speech must be tolerated, Holmes believed, until there is evidence that speech will bring about a grave, immediate danger that government may prevent. Yet, we may ask, does this standard vest too much discretion in a judge to predict what may happen, as opposed to determining the facts of what has occurred? We turn next week, to a better test.

you’re doing at this moment. Read and support your local newspaper. Local journalists, more than anyone else, will stand up for your right to information. Facebook will not be going toe-to-toe with your mayor. Second, when you believe government isn’t doing its job, demand an explanation. Ask to see the documents. Attend public meetings. And above all, support legislative efforts to make government more transparent. It’s too easy for officials who have failed us to point fingers, blame the media and wait for their side of the partisan fence to rally to their defense. We deserve better. We all pay taxes to support the work of government. We should get our money’s worth.

Letter to Editor

Letter to the Editor: It’s just past Crossover in the North Dakota Legislature. That means approved bills and resolutions have now made their way across the hall of the Capitol from one legislative body to another. And, committees are currently very busy with bill hearings. Fortunately, most of the egregious voter suppression legislation has been defeated or withdrawn. That’s very good news for North Dakota voters. However, North Dakota Voters First is still keeping an eye on a few pieces of key legislation. -HB 1024 - Funding for the Ethics Commission. We urge the Senate not to play politics with this. The Ethics Commission will continue to play a key role in good government. -HB 1191 - Campaign finance transparency. This is a good bipartisan bill that legislative leaders support. -HB 1373 - Early voting. This legislation would cut early voting days from 15 to 9. We urge the Senate to vote “no.” This bill is a solution in search of a problem that doesn’t exist. -HB 1397 - The Legislature’s redistricting bill. Secrecy language in this legislation exempts draft legislative maps from open records laws. This language needs to be removed. Politicians should not be able to choose their voters in secret. -HB 1447 - College voters. This bill would strengthen IDs for North Dakota college students, and would make it more convenient for them to vote. This is good legislation with bipartisan support. -SB 2271 - Secrecy in elections. This bill hides North Dakota presi-

dential election vote totals until presidential electors meet. Election results shouldn’t be kept secret. -SCR 4005 - Voter roadblocks. This initiative aims to make it harder for North Dakota voters to pass Constitutional initiated measures. It could be seen as another government power grab. North Dakota Voters First will continue to track these pieces of legislation and more. There’s still a lot of work to do. We’ll continue to focus on voter advocacy, good government, and transparency in campaigns and elections. By Rick Gion, Communications and Policy Director, North Dakota Voters First Dear Editor, I’m writing to express my frustration with the North Dakota Legislature’s redistricting plan. In the Republican supermajority’s redistricting bill, HB 1397, there’s language that would hide draft legislative maps from the public and the media. This is unacceptable. During the last few decades, North Dakota’s Republican legislative leadership has had a track record of unfairly gerrymandering districts to fit their agenda. This is what happens when politicians can pick their voters. It makes it worse when they can do it in secret. North Dakotans deserve a fair and open process regarding the workings of their government. Secrecy in government is not what we expect from Bismarck. Let’s make sure that we redistrict our legislative lines the right way in 2021. Sincerely, Terri Hedman Fargo

Obituaries Dale Charon

Dale Charon shared his final moments in the privacy of his home with his wife, Rita, in the early hours of Tuesday, March 9, 2021. Funeral services were held on Monday, March 15, 2021, at the Presbyterian Church in Langdon. He will be interred at the cemetery at Lawton. Dale was born on a snowy January 28, 1956, to Hugh and Lovina (Christian) Charon at Mercy Hospital in Devils Lake. He grew up in the Lawton area, worked on the family farm, and graduated from Edmore High School in the spring of 1974. Later that same year, he heeded his country’s call to serve by joining

the United States Navy on November 29. He received an honorable discharge on November 1, 1980. Upon his return, he rediscovered his farming roots by joining the Olderback and Weber custom harvest operations for a few seasons. On November 14, 1980, he married Rita Bina in the Lawton Lutheran Church, and they made a life for themselves in the town where they both grew up. He worked at the local Farmers Union and fathered two children, Trevor and Mallory, in 1982 and 1985 respectively. The family would eventually move to Langdon following a professional opportunity for him at the Farmers Union there, where he would eventually take over as shop foreman. He was a member of the American Legion Post 98, as well as the Eagles Club #3454.

He will continue to be loved and missed by his wife, Rita Charon; his children, Trevor (David) Charon and Mallory (Justin) Roppel; his mother, Lovina Charon; and his siblings: Lorna (Richard) Lawrence, Paula (David) Eisenzimmer, Tom (LeeAnn) Charon, and Dona (Steve Crist) Muhs. Preceding him in death were his father, Hugh Charon, and his maternal and paternal grandparents. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be directed to an organization of your choice or Lawton Cemetery, 10217 62nd St. NE, Lawton, ND 58345. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Adrian Olson of North Parish

Jesus lifted up on the cross John 12:20-36. When Jesus made His last entry into Jerusalem prior to His crucifixion He was met, we are told, by an excited crowd waving palm branches and shouting “Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord” (John 12:13). John makes the sober comment that the people had gathered because they had heard of the raising of Lazarus (John 12:18). The Pharisees made the cryptic observation that the whole world had gone after Him (John 12:19)! (John 12:20-22): As if to typify this, some serious-minded Greek worshippers expressed a desire to have a conversation with Jesus. They approached Philip, who came from Galilee of the Gentiles, and he and Andrew made the approach to the Lord on their behalf. It is good, when two are agreed upon the earth (Matthew 18:19), to make our petitions known to Him (1 John 5:15). (John 12:23-24): Jesus recognized in this Gentile interest that His hour had at last come and spoke of His glorification via death. So far His ministry had been limited (with a few exceptions) to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24): but His death would globalize His message (John 11:49-52); and His resurrection would empower the church for the Great Commission. The fruit of the death of the Lord is our salvation. (John 12:25-26): When we partake of the fruits of His resurrection, we are enabled, like the remnant of the house of Judah, to “take root downward, and bear fruit upward” (Isaiah 37:31).

Jesus uses the hyperbole of “hating” our lives in this world in contrast to our love of Him in order to attain eternal life (Matthew 16:24-25). Following Jesus in the path of sacrificial service (Philippians 2:5-11) brings us honor from the Father. (John 12:27-30): Jesus uttered a prayer, its intensity not unlike His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:42-44). As the Cross loomed ever larger on the horizon Jesus became agitated and troubled, but His delight was still to do the Lord’s will (Psalm 40:7-11). On account of His obedience, Jesus’ prayer was answered for all to hear (Hebrews 5:7-9). (John 12:31-33): The Cross of Jesus is a place of judgment where the sinfulness of man reaches its most malicious, and where sin itself is defeated in the Righteous One who knew no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21). Let Satan do his utmost, it is here that he will seal his own defeat. The Cross is the focal point of history, and the terminus of time: it exalts the Messiah (John 19:19), connects earth and heaven, and is the meeting place of nations. (John 12:34): Yet the nations find it difficult to accept the message of a crucified Savior (1 Corinthians 1:22-24). Neither do they find it easy to believe in His resurrection, or ascension. (John 12:35-36): Just as Jesus had but a short while remaining in this phase of his ministry, so our lives are marked by their brevity. Jesus’ claim remains, that He is the light of the world (John 8:12). Will we walk, and continue to walk, in that light?

Rental host webinar set for March 25

Rendezvous Region Tourism getting involved in the vacation rental marketplace

Congratulations to this month’s winners, and thanks to all who support Post 98. Munich community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant on March 8 at Munich Ambulance Hall which helped collect a total of 41 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 39 individuals volunteered to donate blood and 34 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on March 8. A total of seven donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. There were six people who volunteered for the first time. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Robert Bubach, who coordinated the drive, and Munich High School Student Council which sponsored the blood drive, as well as Bruce and Rita Wirth, for providing the Ambulance Hall for the drive. Living through a pandemic can lead to many uncertainties, although one thing we are sure of, is

Community

that the need for blood never ceases. Blood is only useable for 42 days, so a constant supply is always needed, no matter the season. Vitalant is currently testing all successful blood, platelet and plasma donations for the foreseeable future for antibodies to SARSCoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. If your donation is antibody positive, Vitalant can produce convalescent plasma from it to help COVID patients, additionally the remaining blood components will help other patients with serious medical conditions. Antibodies are proteins within plasma that help fight off infections. Because antibodies are part of the body’s immune response and not the virus itself, antibody testing cannot be used to diagnose current coronavirus infection. Please postpone your donation if you are feeling unwell or suspect you may have COVID-19. Individuals must be symptom free for at least 28 days to be eligible to give blood. Learn more about finding ways to help patients during COVID by visiting vitalant. org/COVIDRescueTeam Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org/health

and business travel is for people to opt to stay in a private, one-of-akind vacation rental versus staying in a standard hotel. If you have ever considered being a provider of one-of-a-kind vacation rental, this informational meeting regarding vacation rental marketplaces whether it is a room in your home, an entire house, or even an RV is a way to get your questions answered.

questions. Airbnb is an online accommodation marketplace that caters to both guests and hosts. Through its platform, hosts can lease out their homes or living space and guests can rent a place to stay. Airbnb acts as a broker in that by advertising and executing a transaction they receive a commission from each booking. As a host, you set the terms. Your listing lets you limit the number of guests and the amenities they have access to. House rules help you set expectations and show guests your hosting style. Your booking settings dictate when guests can book your place—and how much notice you need to prepare for guests. You set rental fees for your spaces. In return, Airbnb protects its hosts with host protection programs which protect hosts from check-in to check-out, provides Covid-19 safety guidelines, and offers guest identification and guest reviews before they check in. This informational meeting is being presented by the Rendezvous Region Tourism Committee in an effort to offer tourists and business travelers a greater variety of accommodations in the Rendezvous Region.

Cardinals battle, but lose Region 4 Title game to FW-M 57-39

End season with a fine 20-4 record; Romfo twins named to All-Region Team By JAKE KULLAND BOXSCORE BOXSCORE Republican Sports Writer LANGDON-EDMORE-MULANGDON-EDMORE-MUThe Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys basketball team entered the Region 4 Basketball Tournament held March 8-11 looking for their first state tournament berth since 1996. The Cards got ever so close, beating Benson County at home 72-49 in the first round, winning a defensive struggle with North Star 40-30 in the semifinals then playing hard but losing to topranked Four Winds-Minnewaukan 57-39 in the championship game. The Cardinals end one of their best seasons on over a decade with a 20-4 record. Grant and Simon Romfo were named to the All-Region 4 Team. Those two seniors, along with Jagger Worley, ended fantastic basketball careers with LangdonEdmore-Munich. Bronson Walter of FW-M was named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year, and Indians coach Rick Smith was named Region 4 Coach of the Year. Here is a recap of the Cardinals three games at the Region 4 Tournament: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 72, Benson County 49 Due to the Devils Lake school opting not to host the Region 4 Tournament due to COVID-19 protocols, the Cardinals played the first two games of the tourney at home. In their first game versus Benson County, the game turned out a lot like when the two teams met. The Wildcats came out of the gate and led 16-7 early before Langdon-Edmore-Munich went on a 15-0 run. From there the Cardinals slowly built a seven-point lead at halftime behind 14 points from Grant Romfo and 10 by Jagger Worley. Also, like the first go-round, the Cardinals had a huge third quarter, this time outscoring the Wildcats 25-12, which made it 62-42 after three quarters. The Cards went on a 10-0 run to begin the fourth quarter and won the game with a running clock the rest of the way. Grant Romfo led the team with 20 points followed by Jagger Worley with 17 including three 3-pointers and Simon Romfo, who had 16 points, with 14 coming in the second half. Grant led the team with six rebounds, and Simon had a team high six assists. Blayne Anderson and Cole Wentz both led Benson County with 14 points each. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 40, North Star 30 In the Region 4 semifinals, the Cardinals hosted the Bearcats in what was as an intense a game as you will see from start to finish. Defense was the name of this game for both teams. Both teams had to work hard just to get a shot off, as Ben Wageman had nine points for the Bearcats in the second quarter to give North Star a 21-13 lead at the

half. The Bearcats had played a double overtime game the night before in an opening round win at New Rockford, and the Cardinals wore them down in the second half. North Star had just two baskets in the entire second half. Langdon-EdmoreMunich outscored the Bearcats 12-1 in the third quarter to take the lead then went 9 for 9 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter to preserve the lead and the win. Grant Romfo had 15 points for the Cards, while Simon Romfo finished with 10. Jagger Worley had 10 rebounds followed by Grant with nine and Simon with eight. Wageman led North Star with 11 points. Both teams shot less than 30 percent for the game, and neither made a single 3-pointer. Four Winds-Minnewaukan 57, Langdon-Edmore-Munich 39 In the championship game, which was held at the Betty Englestad Sioux Center in Grand Forks, the Cardinals got the start they wanted, and that was to hold down the Indians from going on one of their patented big runs to start the game. FW-M had not allowed a point in the first quarter in their first two tourney games, but the Cards battled them to a 10 all tie after the first quarter. Carter Tetrault hit a 3-pointer early in the second quarter to spark the team, but the Cardinals could only manage one more basket and fell behind 23-15 at the half. Langdon-Edmore-Munich would get as close as six points early in the third quarter, but after the Indians called a time out, they would go inside to their big man, 6-foot-10 inch center Bronson Walter, who had six of his 12 points in the third.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich knew they had to shoot at least 50 percent from the field to have a chance to win the game, but they shot just 34 percent for the game. FW-M would shoot 15 of 23 in the second half. Grant Romfo rounded out his basketball career with a team high 13 points, as did Jagger Worley with 10 points and 15 rebounds in his final performance as a Cardinal. Simon Romfo dished out five assists in his final game. Tetrault had one of his best games of the season, ending up with 10 points. Walter and JaeShaun Shaw each had 12 for the Indians.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

The winter sports season comes to an end locally Last week we were talking about how mind blowingly cool it would be to have both Langdon-EdmoreMunich and North Border go to a State Class B Boys Basketball Tournament on the same year. Both were in regional championship games played at Grand Forks on March 11, and both were a step away from a state tournament berth. First off, let's say it was a fantastic atmosphere at the Betty Englestad Sioux Center for both games, as the Cardinals and Eagles were very well represented, with both boasting a huge student section. Both teams played hard, but unfortunately both teams came up just short in each title game. Four Winds-Minnewaukan and Grafton both won regional championships, and both were about to play in the State Class B Boys Basketball

Tournament in Minot, which runs March 18-20. Some incredible basketball careers came to and end, which Grant Romfo, Simon Romfo and Jagger Worley playing their last games for Langdon-Edmore-Munich, and Jaden Lee, Logan Nupdahl and Rhett doing the same for North Border. Lee and the Romfo twins are were named to their respective All-Region teams, and Eagles coach Danny Moore was honored as Region Coach of the Year. It's crazy that we won't see them on the high school court again, but they have all made some incredible memories for everyone that will always be remembered. Of course, spring sports are coming soon and some of these athletes we be competing there shortly. A big thanks to everyone on a fantastic and fun winter sports season. High School Baseball practice to begin on March 22 As turn the page and move to spring sports, track practice has already been underway for North Dakota teams for a couple of weeks, and now it's time for high school baseball to get going. The first prac-

tice is set for March 22, and games will begin the first week of March, weather permitting. For LangdonEdmore-Munich, there will be a little extra fire in the belly, as they would have been favorites to win Region 4 last year and possibly win a state title, if it were for COVID to cancel the entire spring sports season. Some players from last spring have graduated, but there is a lot of talent coming back for this years team. We have heard the numbers are gigantic for the program this year. Josh Krivarchka is the head coach for the Cardinals, assisted by Tanner Groth. There may be some coaches added depending on how big whole roster will be. And next week on March 29 Class B boys and girls golf will get underway, which we will talk more about the next time we visit here. The weather looks great for what will hopefully be a full spring sports season, which the kids deserve being the virus took it from them last year. Let's hope for the best! "See ya!" next week!

CCMH Ambulance Meeting March 24 at 7:00 A.M. Hospital Conference Room The Hospital is purchasing a new 2020 Horton ambulance. The meeting to discuss this purchase is open to the public.

Masks are required.

For many months, COVID-19 has taken priority in health care facilities. That, in combination with the public’s reservations about visiting their health care provider, has resulted in lower colorectal cancer screening rates. Cancer screenings can and should be a top priority for those who are due for a screening appointment. “There’s no doubt that many have delayed their colorectal cancer screening this year,” said Tiffany Boespflug, Women’s Way Program Coordinator at Grand Forks Public Health. “While that’s understandable, cancer hasn’t simply gone away.” Colorectal cancer is the nation’s second leading cause of cancer deaths. Through proper colorectal cancer screening, colorectal cancer be found early, when it’s small, hasn’t spread, and might be easier to treat. Regular screening can even prevent colorectal cancer by removing polyps before they have the chance to turn into cancer. “Healthcare facilities are taking precautionary measures to keep patients safe during COVID-19. The fact is, it’s safe to go to your local clinic. Staying up to date on preven-

tive screenings may ultimately save your life. Early stages of cancer may not show symptoms. That is why there is no question that early detection is your best protection against colorectal cancer,” said Boespflug. “By working with your health care provider, you can figure out which screening test is right for you, when you should start getting tested, and how often you should be tested. Together you can make a plan that can ultimately prevent colorectal cancer.” Women’s Way is piloting a colorectal cancer screening in the Grand Forks Local Coordinating Unit. Advocates are available to discuss further the importance of colorectal cancer screenings as well as how Women’s Way through the North Dakota Colorectal Cancer Initiative provides a way to pay for screenings for eligible North Dakota women. For more information about the Grand Forks Local Coordinating Unity Women’s Way Colorectal Cancer Initiative and the services they provide, call 701-787-8118 or email tboespflug@grandforksgov. com.

Langdon Area School Board meeting held March 15 By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon Area School board held a regular meeting on March 15, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. Langdon Area High School has received 4 applicants for an English teacher position for grades 7-12. The board has put together an interview committee to see who is the right fit for the school system. The committee consensus is to try a vote for the heating problems at Langdon Elementary with a sunset clause. With the rising costs in building materials, it’s crucial a vote is done sooner than later to pass secure funding. The board is looking at having a vote in June 2021. It may be possible to get some funding from the state, and that is also being looked into. The new elementary head custodian starts Monday! They are now looking to fill a position for a full-time high school custodian and part-time elementary custodian.

It was stated that mask wearing in the school buildings will still be implemented when students are moving classroom to classroom. With prom and the graduation party coming up, there is no guarantee COVID will stay at bay, and we need to do what we can so these gatherings can happen for students. After a vote from the board, standards-based learning was accepted for implementation to start in the younger age groups (K-2nd grade). It’s a slow process to keep everyone on the same page as it is new and something that needs training and educating parents, students, and educators. With standardsbased learning, students, staff, and parents can see where the student is struggling - not only with material but with behavior. There are still questions concerning eligibility and what is a passing or failing grade. With starting at younger age groups, it will be easier to implement once it becomes the normal for grading.

NDSU offers online gardening forums North Dakota State University Extension is offering a series of free workshops for gardeners. The Spring Fever Garden Forums will run on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Central time from March 22 to April 12. Topics will include how to grow roses, select vegetable varieties, grow a no-till garden, lengthen the growing season, select maples, landscape with ornamental grasses and identify good bugs. “This is a great opportunity for gardeners to learn about the latest research from NDSU,” says Tom Kalb, NDSU Extension horticultur-

ist. “They can watch the live presentations and ask their questions of the speakers.” Gardeners have the option of watching online or at a participating NDSU Extension county office. More than 850 gardeners attended the forums last year. Everyone is welcome. For more information on the workshops, participating county sites and the free online connection to the forums, do an online search for NDSU Spring Fever Garden Forums or go to https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/springfever.

The school board election site will be the Langdon Area High School commons area. Mail-in voting is an option, but there will be a site for voting when elections occur June 8th, 2021. The board received a resignation letter from Curt Kram, music instructor. Mr. Kram accepted a position as the Munich Elementary principal. He will be missed in the classrooms and hallways, but he will be a great addition for Munich Schools. All teacher contracts are being sent out to teachers for the next school year, along with intent to re-hire for non-teaching staff. A request for leave of absence was presented to the board as Jaime Zeis would like to take a year to be home with her family. The board agreed, as much as they appreciate Mrs. Zeis and agree she’s a great educator, they would not be to grant it according to the negotiated agreement. If Mrs. Zeis decides to not sign her contract, the board agreed that if a position opened up, they would love to see her back. The board motioned and passed Mr. Sykora to take on the roll as a track and field coach this spring. The next meeting will be held April 19 at 7:00 p.m.

The Munich Ambulance Service will stop providing medical care and transport within a year.

The Munich Ambulance Service provides emergency medical response to Munich and outlying areas of Sarles, Calvin, Clyde, Calio and Alsen. We also provide support to the volunteer fire departments in that area. Without enough EMTs, we are going to lose our license and be legally prohibited from transporting patients. That would make residents of the Munich Ambulance Service area dependent upon ambulance services that are over 40 miles away. Response times will go from a few minutes to as long as an hour in Munich and longer in the outlying areas. The Munich Ambulance will not be able to continue as a functional ambulance squad unless we get an influx of new members. In recent years, all but one of more than 20 original EMTs that founded the Munich Ambulance Service have left the organization. Some were EMTs for over 30 years. They had farms and jobs and families, but they stepped forward when they were needed. We only have 7 EMTs now. Now it is time for the next generation to get ready. We desperately need younger members who will take over for the next generation. It will take a commitment. You will have to do some work and give up some time. Being an EMS volunteer is more than just a hobby. It is an avocation and a lifestyle. You become part of something that is greater than any one person. You will have bad moments and good times. You will learn things about yourself and your world. You will have skills that you will use at home as well as on duty. People will turn to you when they are hurt and scared because you are the one who knows what to do. There is little pay beyond reimbursement for expenses. You do this because you feel good doing it. It is really not for everybody. But for those who can do it:

If you don’t, who will?

Geohring announces availability of additional specialty crop block grant funding Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has announced that applications are again being accepted for 2021 Specialty Crop Grants due to additional one-time funding from a COVID-19 stimulus package passed by Congress in late 2020. “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 weeks. 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; increasing child and adult nutrition knowledge and consumption of specialty crops; improving the capacity of all entities in the specialty crop distribution chain to comply with the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act; investing in specialty crop research, improving efficiency and reducing

costs of distribution systems; and sustainability. Projects that directly benefit specific, 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/scbgp. Applications must be submitted in electronic form by 4 p.m. CDT Wednesday, April 7, 2021. 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 2021. Projects funded by the grants start Oct. 1, 2021 and must be completed by Sept. 30, 2023. Goehring said persons needing more information should contact Deanna Gierszewski at (701) 3282191 or scbg@nd.gov.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent for Walking into

Footwear Spring The first day of Spring has sprung - both on the calendar (March 20) and outdoors. The other day, my son exclaimed in excitement that he had seen a bird out the window that was partly orange. I have no idea what type of bird he saw, but he was so excited. It was truly a moment of realization for me that spring is actually here, as the snow has melted, the temperatures are warmer, and now that daylight savings time has come and gone, the days are getting longer. I’m beginning to think that my days to walk outside are officially here for the foreseeable future. I had stopped walking outside when the ice became too much, and I couldn’t walk without taking a spill. Because I already had...on regular pavement...by tripping over a “bump” in the road. I literally fell flat on the ground...in the dark. I laid there a moment, mentally checking to see if all parts of me still worked. Then, I slowly got up and considered calling my husband to come pick me up, but after a moment of fighting back tears (more from embarrassment than anything), I took a few tentative steps to check if things were still working correctly. I was sore but decided to be “tough” and start walking again. I decided at that point that when the roads were icy, I didn’t dare take the chance to keep walking on them since I obviously have problems when there ISN’T ice. So, when it turned icy, I started walking on the treadmill at home. It’s a nice time for me to read (which I do every chance I get) or watch a show (which I don’t normally do). As the days continued on and I was getting my 100 miles in for the month (as I mentioned in

NDSU Extension Notes

early February), I noticed a strange green dust by my treadmill. It was a pretty turquoise color, actually. I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from, but it was everywhere: on my treadmill, on the floor beside my treadmill, and especially behind my treadmill. Then all of a sudden, it hit me the bottoms of my walking shoes are turquoise. This led me to inspect all of my walking shoes. I have a pair for indoor walking and a pair for outdoor walking, as dust and dirt are hard on a treadmill, so it’s best to have a different designated pair for each purpose. What I found was not to my liking but explained why I have been having foot, leg, and back discomfort more than usual. My walking shoes were worn out. Completely. I don’t know why I didn’t pay closer attention to the wear on my shoes, but for some reason I lost track of time and am in desperate need of a new pair. I would like to blame my fall on my worn-out footwear, but I’m pretty sure it was just lack of coordination. One thing is certain: I need new shoes to help me with my walking endeavors. Having the right footwear not only helps us keep our feet healthy but also our bodies. The right support helps keep our bodies free from injury and pain. Finding the right shoe for our needs is important. I started looking for information about finding the right footwear for walking and found a few interesting facts that I would like to pass along to you. These are based on NDSU Extension Publication “Walking: Select the Right Shoes” (FN603) (https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/publications/food-nutrition/ walking-select-the-right-shoes/ fn603.pdf) and Mayo Clinic’s information from “Walking shoes: Features and fit that keep you moving” (https://www.mayoclinic.org/ healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/ walking/art-20043897). The most helpful points to get started are: *Shoes should be replaced about

every 400 miles. Even if they look like they are fine, the supports and cushions are probably not sufficient to support anymore. *Find the right support for your needs. Different shoes have different features that are made for specific activities and surfaces. Find a shoe that works for your highest needs. There are specific features for both walking and running, but running provides the most support. Make sure to choose running shoes if you need that extra support even if you are walking. *Find the correct fit. A size is just a starting point. Find the shoe that best fits your specific arch, width, and length. Try several pairs, and give yourself time to walk around and feel how they support your feet for a period of time. *Keep track of where the shoe rubs, as it will only get worse with constant motion. Achilles tendon, heals, and ankles are common areas for this to happen. So, make note of how your foot feels in those areas as you try on the shoes. There is much more information about types of feet and finding the correct fit for shoes in those publications, so feel free to read them for yourself, as you may find some valuable information for choosing your next shoe. If you would like a hard copy, call our NDSU Extension office in Cavalier County at 2562560, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu. edu. You can also visit our website at www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension/ to find more information about various topics related to physical activity and healthy eating. Now that Spring has sprung, make sure your footwear is supporting your body to ensure the best outcome for getting moving. And, if you caught my spill on your doorbell or home security camera, please share the winnings you get from America’s Funniest Videos. I don’t need much, just enough to buy two new pairs of shoes to help me walk my way into Spring.

Acidic soil management webinar set Producers and others will have an opportunity to learn about acidic soil management during a webinar that North Dakota State University Extension is hosting March 25. The event will run from 9-11 a.m. Mountain time. “We’re seeing stratified soil acidity where the pH is below 5.5 in portions of fields and, in some cases, across entire fields in western North Dakota,” says Ryan Buetow, Extension cropping systems specialist based at NDSU’s Dickinson Research Extension Center. “This can lead to aluminum toxicity, nutrient tie-up, issues with herbicide carryover and reduced microbial activity. We’re continuing on-farm projects in 2021 and have put together multiple resources including Soil Sense Podcast episodes, YouTube videos, Extension publications and educational events.” The webinar will feature panelists Dickinson Research Extension Center Director Chris Augustin, Buetow, AGVISE soil scientist John Breker, Montana State University Extension soil fertility specialist Clain Jones and Oklahoma State University Extension precision nutrient management specialist Brian Arnall.

“I made sure to reach out to some of the top experts in the country on acid soil management to provide data and recommendations on management for this issue,” Buetow says. Topics the panelists will cover include the extent of the issue, pH testing, liming and adaptation management, including in-furrow treatments and crop selection. Registration for the webinar is required. Go to https://forms.gle/ kJ31xGdux64FtUvR9 to register. The registration deadline is March 23. Continuing education units for certified crop advisers have been requested.

By Rita Maisel

Sagas of Pembina County 18672017 After hearing numerous rave reviews of Jim Benjaminson’s book on Pembina County history, I can honestly write that this is a book readers will enjoy. It does not have the old family pictures and lists of family members that were part of the centennial books we have been enjoying for the last forty years. However, there are pictures included to illustrate places and events with many we might not have seen before. The vast majority of the pictures were ones I had no recollection of seeing down through the years. Most of his stories are about places and ways of life complete with details that many will find surprising. If you do not already have a copy, contact the Cavalier Chronicle or the Pembina County Historical Society. The reason his book begins with 1867 is that this date marks the establishment of Pembina County located in Dakota Territory. Yes, I do know that a previous Walhalla area publication lists the Gingras Trading Post with a date of 1848. At that time Pembina County was a part of Minnesota Territory. The 1867 boundaries remained in effect until the Dakota Territorial legislature esOh dear, What do we have here? Dr. Suess is on the lam, no more Green Eggs & Ham? Get rid of them all, big, fat and tall. No more fighting for the underdog, keep us all in a fog. Tell us what we can and cannot read, lots of fear they will breed. Look back and you will see, books off the shelf not goof for you and me. Dr. Suess would say, “No, no, no!” That idea has to go. Buy a book or two, it’s up to you.

tablished other counties which had previously been part of Pembina County. As a result, the 1867-2017 years marks the area’s 150th anniversary. Chapter 2 of this book is titled Flour Milling, and until I read it, I did not realize quite what that involved. Over the years most of us have heard story after story about early settlers who strapped a bag of grain to their backs and walked all day (sometimes twenty or more miles) to get to St. Thomas where there was a flour mill. They would stay overnight once the flour was in the sack and spend another day or two walking home again. Some stories mentioned if it happened to be a rainy day, they stayed until nicer weather because the flour and rainwater were an unusable mix if they did not take that precaution. I suspect that Vivian Crawford, whose family had a similar mill in Langdon in later years, might have mentioned the term “roller mill” in her stories, but what was involved had not penetrated my mind. Benjaminson not only tells you how the mills operated but pictures them. Another fun chapter with lots of new information had to do with bridges and ferries. Most of us know what bridges are, but ferries in Cavalier County were in short supply. There are some tales of canoes left on the shores of lakes, but a ferry that would transport horse and wagon or later automobiles with passengers was just not in Books about cats and hats, even books about dogs and bats. Books of trees and fish and frogs, get a book or two about water and hogs. Buy a book or even two, it is all up to you. Do it now and do it fast, buying and reading books is a blast! Thank you Dr. Suess, for giving us books that were so much fun and yet held a message for everyone. This was written by Diane Walker of Fargo, the sister of Carole Stremick of Langdon.

Langdon Long Ago

our vocabulary. Because Pembina County had not only the smaller rivers but also the Red River with steamboat traffic to Grand Forks and to Pembina from Winnipeg, the ferries had to be licensed both at the Dakota side and the Manitoba or Minnesota sides. The chapter on newspapers was another I enjoyed because several of the people working on Pembina County papers either came to Cavalier County to work or came from Pembina County and had long careers in our area. One of those was James Woolner, who came to Drayton when his father and uncle were pastors there and possibly at Emerson as well. James began as a writer for the Bathgate Pink Paper (yes, I have seen copies, and they were on pink paper!) and then came to Langdon where he worked on both the Democrat and the Republican. Another was Till Copeland, who was listed in the Benjaminson book as having an Olga address. Actually, the Copeland family lived at Beaulieu and early on Till, and his sister, Carrie, came to work with C. B. C. Doherty at the original Cavalier County Courier. Carrie also gave music lessons in Langdon and was organist or pianist at the Presbyterian Church until her death. After a few years in Langdon, she married Charlie Chisholm, who had a store in Langdon. Carrie and Mrs. Doherty were the first female workers on Langdon newspapers. Children in both families told of learning the alphabet sorting type. Howard Doherty and Margaret Bartlett were grandchildren of those pioneering mothers. One who got his start in the newspaper business in Cavalier County was Jerry Frawley, who was associated with the Hannah Moon and a Wales publication for a brief time before settling in Cavalier where he worked on the Chronicle for years and was frequently quoted in Langdon papers. I can especially recommend the chapters on the Brick Mine and the Concrete mine. This book does not quote directly from my aunt,

Resources are available to help North Dakotans transition to a new normal Resuming a normal lifestyle safely as the COVID-19 daily positivity rate remains low and vaccination efforts grow is on the minds of many North Dakotans. The North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Behavioral Health Division has resources, supports and services available to help people who may be experiencing stress, anxiety and other emotions during this transition. “As we mark the one-year anniversary of the pandemic’s arrival in North Dakota, people are adjusting once again to a new normal. Although we may enjoy the thought of resuming pre-COVID activities, for many it may bring stress, anxiety or questions about how to transition back into activities,” said Pamela Sagness, the department’s Behavioral Health Division director. Here are some tips to ease the transition to a new normal and new routine. Start small with enjoyable activities: Have one friend over for coffee, go out for breakfast, eat outside on a patio or run errands on a weekday to avoid large crowds. • Slowly expand your world. • Enjoy the outdoors: Have a picnic at a park, go for a walk with a friend around a neighborhood or

try activities like golfing or fishing. • Visit a local shop during off peak hours. • Follow public health guidance: Learn about vaccination opportunities and continue masking, avoiding large crowds, washing your hands frequently and staying home if you feel sick. • Trust your instincts: Take extra time becoming comfortable, use caution and be patient. The Behavioral Health Division’s website has resources for educators, health care and behavioral health professionals, parents and other North Dakotans. There is information about free virtual support groups, how to locate addiction or mental health treatment services and other resources. Other available supports include Project Renew, which offers free and anonymous counseling from trained professionals. People can call Project Renew at 701-223-1510. If someone is having thoughts of suicide or is concerned about a loved one, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Alice; Vivian Maxwell Goschke or her aunts, Pheme and Nora; Oliver Lawson; Harry and Alpha Carlson; or Magnea and Grant Swanlaw, who all contributed to my meager knowledge of the Concrete site where I can remember playing as a child with children from the area. It does, however, have technical and legal comments that might answer your questions and even some of my own. You might also enjoy the part about the Northern Dakota Railroad and an engine named Maud. One of the pictures even shows the boarding house where Mrs. Lawson (mother of Oliver and Harrison) cooked for the workers in the mine – a story remembered and often told by her grandchildren. The chapter on Birdeen Gibson, an artist who graduated from Neche High School in 1931, brought back special memories for me because she had painted a picture of Christ Knocking at the Door for the Trinity Evangelical Church in 1941. That church became Trinity EUB church in 1948 and Trinity United Methodist in 1968. My grandmother and other family members had been charter members of the predecessor Zion Evangelical Church east of Cavalier since arriving in Dakota Territory. Some family members had come as early as 1875, others in 1879 and my grandmother in 1883. The Zion church and cemetery at Cavalier were named for the Zion church and cemetery in Hay Township, Huron County, Ontario where the family had lived since 1852, and many of the members at Cavalier were people they had grown up with. As a child I remember going to the Trinity Church and being taken to the front of the church to see this painting. Family members told me the painting was very special because Christ is knocking on the door of your heart, and there is no latch on the door so you must open it from inside and invite Him in. Three copies of this painting are pictured in the Sagas book, and it is possible I know where a fourth copy hangs today. The three pictured

are the one at Trinity, the one at the now closed “Chocolate” Methodist Church in Cavalier - which is now in the Pembina County Museum, and one from 1947 displayed in the Drayton United Methodist Church. Only the Drayton picture photograph does not show a latch on the door. All three carry a note “From Hoffman” along with artist Gibson’s name. There is a dim memory that a picture of Christ in Gethsemane was originally painted by a German artist named Hoffmann as was one of many versions of Christ, the Good Shepherd now familiar as a stained-glass window. A final chapter is on Cemetery Walks and mentions “lost” cemeteries which are also difficult to locate in Cavalier County. The Pembina Cemetery books came out before the Cavalier County ones were published in 1993, so both sets are somewhat outdated, but just this week visitors to the library were pleased to find family members in the printed books of both counties which are available at the Cavalier County Library. Some of Cavalier County’s known cemeteries have been photographed and may be searched by name through Find a Grave. If you are looking for family burials, those are resources that you may have at your fingertips. Years ago, when walking was easier, I visited most of the historic cemeteries in Pembina County as well as almost all of the ones in Cavalier County simply because they are open history books. Of course, I do not remember all of them, but there is one near Pembina which is not only easy to locate but makes you feel like you are walking across a map of North Dakota. Buried there with their families are Charles Cavileer, Jolly Joe Rolette, Wm. Moorhead, Nels Nelson, I think one of the Bottineau family, and many others whose names are now on the counties and towns of North Dakota. You might also find their stories in this book which can be enjoyed again and again down through the years.

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings

Cavalier County Republican

March 2, 2021 On March 2, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there was limited audience capacity in the courthouse meeting rooms. Webex was utilized for those wanting to attend the meeting virtually. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Lisa Gellner, Auditor, added “discussion on possible building purchase” to the agenda at 11:00 a.m. David Zeis made a motion to approve the agenda with the addition to the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and reviewed the contract with ND DOT for the County 13 gravel project (SC-101359). David Zeis made a motion to approve the contract, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. The road project updates from KLJ were reviewed. Johnston shared information on motor grader operator training he received from NDLTAP. The commissioners stated they would check with the roadmen and asked Johnston to look into dates available for the training. The bridge/

culvert project south of Milton was discussed. Johnston suggested that KLJ get the environmental study done by KLJ in case the bridge went out and the county had to use federal bridge funds to replace it, the project would be able to move forward quicker. Stanley Dick made a motion to have KLJ do the environmental study, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. It was decided to have Phil Wold, Shawn Hall, and Shawn Amundson come to the next commission meeting to discuss the prep work that would need to be done on County 13 prior to the gravel project. Johnston discussed a culvert between Sections 29 and 30 in Moscow Township on a legal drain which had now been cleaned out by Fish & Wildlife. Johnston explained that the current culvert would most likely be replaced by two 36” culverts or a 48” arch pipe with the county cost sharing 40% of the cost. Nick Moser made a motion to cost share 40% of the culvert(s), contingent on the Water Board paying 60% of the project, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Bids for a new pickup were opened from Christie Motors and D&B Motors. Stanley Dick made a motion to purchase a 2021 Ford F250 regular cab long box from Christie Motors for $35,949.56 and a 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD regular cab 8-foot box for $31,800.00, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. It was decided to pay for the pickups and accessories (running boards, bed mat, mud flaps, and strobe light)

from R&B Equipment Replacement Fund. District gravel budgets for the coming year were decided as follows: District 1 - $100,000; District 2 - $100,000; District 3 - $80,000; District 4 - $90,000; District 5 - $70,000; with remaining $10,000 to be decided based on needs at a later date. The commissioners reviewed an opinion from Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, regarding the county purchasing real property. Later in the meeting the commissioners discussed various ideas and reviewed a proposal they had received to purchase a shop if they were to begin centralizing some of the road equipment. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, met with the commissioners and reported that Towner County had approved the 2020 pro-rated E-911 Contract in the amount of $22,500.00. The contract will be re- negotiated in June for 2022. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the E-911 Contract with Towner County, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve a seasonal Beer & Liquor License for Langdon Country Club, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Kaitlin Atkinson, Vision Zero, met virtually with the commissioners and explained their mission to eliminate motor vehicle crashes in the state of North Dakota. Lisa Gellner, Auditor, asked if they had any training that could be used for Bus Driver workshops and Stanley Dick asked if they had any training for youth on driving ATV/UTV. Atkinson

stated she would follow up on both. David Zeis made a motion to appoint LeRoy Gasner to the Cavalier County Library Board, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried.
