' Manor By Mary
Jan. 28 Happy birthday wishes
went out to Becky Reich. Becky
helps in the Assisted Living Depart—
ment and helps in the kitchen. She
also has been helping with visitations
on the Weekends. We appreciate all
that she does and wished her the very
best on her special day.
Jan. 29 - Exercises were held at
1-0 am. Bingo took place at2 pm. ‘
Marlys Updike was our bingo lady
for the afternoon. Earl Bares was the
bingo caller and Fern Hennings de-
livered the prizes.
Jan. 30 A beautiful Celebration
of Life was held in Golva at St.
Mary's Catholic Church for our dear
friend Christine Finneman. The
church was decorated to honor her
life. The pews were covered with the
many quilts and blankets Christine
had made throughout her years.
They cushioned our benches just like
"she cushioned our lives. The grand—
kids carried in items that were sig-
nificant throughout her life. A little
white rocking chair was placed up
front that she used throughout the
lyears to rock her babies and grand-
babies. Prayer books and pumpkins
adorned a side table that signified her
prayer life and pumpkin patch, which
she _will forever be remembered for.
Her daughter Michelle played the
organ for the service and Christine's
beloved men's choir added to the cel—
ébration. The Rev. Berg and the Rev.
TKovash did the service with Deacon
‘Wosepka helping, so fitting because
her whole life was dedicated to pray-
ing for men who were aspiring to be
priests and deacons. Her grandsons,
Jeremy and Jason Schmitz, were the
Mass servers. As we said goodbye
to this dear sweet lady, there was
much sadness, but also rejoicing for
Our Christine is now home.
Jan. 31 The Rosary and The,
Litany of the Saints were said in the
Chapel at 10 am. on Sunday. Visita—
tion guests for the afternoon were:
Alysia Shaver and friend visiting
Darlene Wilson, Lori Schulte visit-
ing Clara Portscheller, Tess Heine-
man visiting Dick Heineman, and
Dave 'and Wendy Ekre visiting Bro.
Sam and David Ekre Sr.
Feb. 1 Monday's afternoon ac-
tivity was once again bingo at 2 pm.
Tami Fricke set up the activity, and
had her helpers Earl and Fern assist
her.
Feb. 2 — Bro. Sam Larson cele—
When she was 14, Gjovik said,
she had a friend who took his own
life.
“I didn’t know how to handle [the
situation] ,” she said. “If I had more
information, maybe I could have
saved my friend.”
e ' Gjovik said it was difficult for her
to tell her family about what she was
going through. “I didn’t want to let
them down or see me struggle,” she
said, adding that she believes the
proposed legislation would help ed-
ucate children on how they can help
themselves as well as learn how to
help their friends.
Aimee Copas, executive director
of the North Dakota Council of Ed-
ucational Leaders,'testified in favor
of the bill and detailed’how children
are struggling today. Issues are often
hidden, and “parents are not seeing
what's happening or coming,” she
said. “One of the things our kiddos
see, that we didn’t see growing up,
is the pervaSive use of social media.”
Copas said children absorb
media, and to them it paints a very
different picture of the world.
“Kids, they embody that and they
may not tell you, and eventually it
grows,” she said. “You pray when
brated his birthday on Tuesday. Sam
is known very well for his home-
made birthday cards he crafts. He
never let anyone's special day go un-
noticed. He spends hours and hours
on his cards, and all are considered
blessed to receive them from this
special man.
Feb. 3 Mary led exercises on
Wednesday morning In the after-
noon, we held a Super Bowl 55
Party. We had some Packer fans at-
tend, some Vikings fans attend, a
Steeler fan, and a Buccaneer fan.
Earl Bares has been a loyal Beach
Buccaneer fan when it comes to
sports so he showed up in his own
Buccaneer attire. We held Super
Bowl trivia, filled out our predictions
for the big game coming up, worked
on Super Bowl unscrambles, Word
finds, and then enjoyed our snacks
and a Super Bowl cake with sprite
' and coffee. Visitation guests for the
afternoon were Delores Olson's
daughters Sue Feldmann and Cindy
Nuemiller.
It is with much pride that our
home is COVID-l9 free. All resi-
dents are able to be out and about at—
tending activities, eating meals in our
dining room, and walking the halls
for exercise. February is off to a
great start.
Feb. 4 On Thursday, Missy Nel-
son celebrated a birthday. Missy
works in Assisted Living and the res—
idents love her friendly personality.
She is always one who takes the time
to Visit and has a calm nature about
her that is loved by us all!
Feb. 5 Exercises were held on
Friday in the activity room at 10 am.
Bingo was the afternoon activity.
Earl Bares was the bingo caller,
while Fern Hennings passed out the
bingo prizes. Marlys Updike filled
in for the afternoon, serving coffee
and brownies when the games were
done. Fern Hennings celebrated a
birthday on Friday. Fern boasted on
all the cards and surprises she re-
ceived this year, feeling very special
and loved. Friday afternoon visita-

ment and has been filling in overtime

cently and is already a pro at her po-
sition. Starting during COVID-19,

they have a breaking point they
come to mom and dad, or go to a
teacher, but sometimes they don’t
and their breaking point is them
doing harm to themselves.”
Sen. Judy Lee, R-West Fargo, and
chairwoman of the committee, said
stressors on children are exacerbated
during the pandemic, “particularly if
it is a struggling family, with other
pressures like job cuts or losses.
Kids are in a sense held‘ prisoner in
an envirdnment that is dysfunc-
tional.”
With students back in school, Lee
said she believes the relationships
between teachers and students are
even more important.
“Teachers are likely to be a link
that’s even more important than it
was one year ago,” she said. “All
those social contacts, in the best
sense, for a kid who does have
friends that are supportive —- they
haven’t been able to see them.”
Lee noted that a child died by sui-
cide recently in Fargo. The child was
an athlete and Lee' said there was no
reason for people to think there was
an issue. ‘
Emma Quinn, who left Fargo at5 ’
am. on Feb. 9, to testify in favor of
she really got thrown into way more
than she could have ever imagined
but has been such an asset here at the
Manor. All three of these ladies are
wished the very best and we hope
that this year will .be an easier year
for you all.
Feb. 7 — Residents met in the
Chapel at 10 am. on Sunday mom-
ing to pray the Rosary and Litany of
the Saints. In the afternoon, resi-
dents watched the Super Bowl 55
game between the Chiefs and the
Buccaneers. Our Sunday afternoon
visitor was Mary Ernst, visiting her
mother Agnes Miesaloski.
Feb. 8 Exercises with Deb were
held on Monday morning. An after-
noon of bingo fun was held starting
at 2 pm.
Feb. 10 — On Wednesday morning, 3
some of the Manor staff and its/resi-
dents received their second COVID
shot. Once again, bingo was enjoyed
in the afternoon. Mary served lemon
bars with their coffee and two lucky
residents were blackout winners.
Wednesday afternoon visitation
guests were Nichole Baker visiting
Nellie Booth and Rick Stoveland vis-
iting Judy Curl.
Our sympathies go out to the
Donna Sygulla families. Donna had
been recuperating away from the
Manor for a couple of months and
passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 3,
at CHI St. Alexius Health in Dickin-
son. Donna will be remembered for
many things, but especially her love
for crafting. She took part in activi-
ties on a daily basis, and will always
be remembered for her talent in mak-
ing scrubbies. She had a competitive
spirit when it came to games and ac-
tivities, and she loved to play cards
with the residents. Donna passed out
pencils to the trick or treaters every
year at the Manor, making her well
known to all who visited her here.
Chapel Lane has lost some very dear
ladies, ones that will be dearly
missed by us all.
It is with a happy heart that I re-
port we have been lucky enough to
remain COVID free since our last
scare. We are enjoying days of not
being so confined and getting back
into our activity routines. We sure
look forward to seeing the faces of
all our volunteers and friends again
soon. What a joyous day that will be
for us all. Have a blessed week and
stay warm.
the bill, also shared a personal expe-
rience with the committee.
“I started to struggle with my
mental health at age 12, and started
trying to take my own life at age 14,”
she said: “It took me over 14 years
to find the proper help for my mental
health.” .
As a mother, Quinn said, she now
watches her own son struggle with
the pressures of middle school, and
she thinks education is the first step
in helping children.
“The last thing [children] are
doing is talking to their parents about
their mental health,” she said.

The North Dakota Game and Fish
Department’s enforcement division
has tallied the number of hunting, an—
gling and boating citations for 2020,
and failure to carry a license was the
number one violation.
Game wardens issued more than
2,600 citations last year. Counties
with the most violations were Ram—
sey (320), Williams (163) and
McKenzie (128).
The most common violations and
number issued were:
- Boating (659): inadequate num—
ber of personal flotation devices
(261); use of unlicensed/unnumbered
boat (138); and failure to display boat
registration (108).
0 Licensing (515): failure to carry
license (306) and
huntin g/fishin g/ trapping without
proper license (182).
Small game (377)i using shot—
gun capable of holding more than
three shells (96) and exceeding limit
(68). '
Fishing (315): aquatic nuisance
. species violations (84) and exceeding
limit (65).
0 Miscellaneous (227): criminal
trespass (76); minor in possession
(46); and possession of a controlled

SCOREBOARD Game and Fish violations tallied
substance (33).
General (226.): hunting On
posted land without permission (72);
loaded firearm in vehicle (59); and
use of motor vehicle in restricted area
(47).
- Big game (170): illegal tak-
ing/possession of big game (72); tag-
ging violations (17); and failure to
wear fluorescent orange (15).
- Wildlife management
areas/refuge (165): PLOTS access vi—
olations (60) and failure to obey
posted regulations (57). ,
- Furbearer (21): use/possession
of illegal snares (8) and harassing
with motor vehicle (6).
While wardens i3sued more than
2,600 citations in 2020, that number
hardly compares to the number of
people who were contacted by war-
dens and no citations were issued.
These license checks, boating safety
inspections, public safety calls,
wildlife issues, the list goes on, are as
important as the number of citations
issued, the NDG&F says. For in—
stance, between Sept. 1, 2020 and
Dec. 31, 2020, there were nearly
12,000 contacts made by game war-
dens and about 1,000 citations is-
sued.
