NEONICOTINOIDS ARE KILLING THE BEES

Setting the butterflies freeThorson Memorial Library Story Hour coordinator Jan Nelson, helps Isabella Strunk and Ben Myron set butterfl ies free last Thursday. The Painted Butterfl ies metamorphosed from caterpillars that were observed this spring during the weekly story hour activity.

The Grant County Com-missioners decided to recon-figure and put new curb and gutter around the parking lot for the Grant County Court-house, as part of the energy upgrade and remodeling project that is wrapping up.

Grant County Highway Engineer Von Bargen pre-sented plans in which the north edge of the current parking lot would be brought six feet to the south where there is less slope, and an island installed in the middle of the north side to protect the generator and electrical boxes. The parking lot would have entrances installed and 47 parking stalls painted, which includes two handi-capped accessible parking stalls and three for the Sheriff’s Department. There would be 30 feet between the north and south parking stalls, which, according to Von Bargen, is the standard for commercial parking lots, and something drivers are familiar with. Von Bargen said there are no parking stalls in the far east or west side of the lot, adjacent to the entrances, at the request of the Sheriff’s Department, because they wanted good sight lines when leaving the

lot quickly.Von Bargen said the esti-

mated cost for the lot would be $15,000, plus around $4,000 for the landscaping of the island.

The commissioners asked if it was necessary to have curb and gutter on the south edge of the lot, the side towards the courthouse. There is no curb and gutter on the south side currently.

Von Bargen said not having curb and gutter on the south side could save around $6,000, however, people would then park on the edge of the lawn, like they do now.

Commissioner Tom Amundson, however, said he felt there should be curb and gutter all the way around it, to define it and make it look finished. The commis-sioners passed a motion to do so, with commissioner Ron Woltjer voting no. Con-struction was expected to get started immediately.

The commissioners also asked construction manager Jesse Leimkuhl to price a split rail type fence for the east side of the courthouse lawn to discourage parking on courthouse property. Leimkuhl said that with the installation of an irrigation system for the lawn, cars could damage the sprinkler

While corn planting time is anticipated by farmers, it is dreaded by beekeepers such as Steve Ellis of Barrett, because the insecticide, used on seed corn, kills honey-bees. Ellis and nearly 30 other beekeepers have filed a petition with the Environ-mental Protection Agency to do what they legally should have done years ago, conduct field trials on the class of pesticides called neonic-otinoids, before registering them and allowing them to be sold and used. They are effectively asking that the nicotine-based pesticides be banned until these tests are completed.

A news crew from NBC Nightly News with Brian Wil-liams, was in Grant County last Tuesday to interview Ellis, and film footage for an upcoming news segment

about the problem. Ellis has become a spokesman for the honeybee industry ... by default.

Holding a bee that is ly-ing on its back, in the palm of his hand, he tells the crew, “This is a classic symptom of nerve damage.”

Pointing out honeybees walking in circles on the ground he says, “Bees are supposed to fly, not walk.”

Ellis claims these par-ticular bees, foraging from a bee yard just south of Tip-sinah Mounds Campground, are dying because they were collecting pollen from blooming dandelions that had picked up the pesticide either during corn planting on a nearby field, or through their roots from previous applications of the pesticide. The pesticide is so toxic, beekeepers are finding just the dust, or residue, from the seeds as they are poured into planter hoppers can get on nearby flowering plants. When farmers add talc to the hoppers to help the seeds

flow out smoothly, the talc picks up the insecticide and drifts, killing foraging bees.

“I am losing an average of 40 percent of my bees each year,” said Ellis. “I can’t stay in business having to replace that many bees every year.”

But, perhaps even more importantly, honey produc-ers warn that our food supply could be in danger.

“Seventy percent of

crops, from apples, oranges, and strawberries, to zucchini and melons, need pollinators like bees,” said Vera Krischik, an associate professor of entomology at the University of Minnesota. “It is a huge issue.”

Ellis said an even higher percentage of crops such as

Dorothy SandDorothy Sand, age 97,

of the Barrett Care Center, and formerly of Wendell, passed away on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, at the Barrett Care Center.

Funeral services for Dorothy were held on Friday, May 4, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Wendell, with Dr. Eugene Boe officiating. Burial was in the Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, Wendell.

Dorothy Elizabeth (Shee-hy) Sand, daughter of Tom and Roxy Sheehy, was born July 8, 1914, in Union Town-ship, Montezuma, Iowa. She moved with her family to rural Minnesota in 1919. She attended country school near Wendell and graduated from Elbow Lake High School in 1931.

On May 7, 1935, she was married to Edmund Sand. To that union, two children were born: a son, Tom, and a daughter, Dianne.

Dorothy was postal clerk in Wendell for thirteen years, receiving a disability retire-ment in 1968.

Dorothy and Edmund moved to Elbow Lake in

1978. Edmund passed away in 1990, and Dorothy lived in Elbow Lake until she moved to the Barrett Care Center in October of 2001. She loved her family and that was most important to be with them. She enjoyed being with friends and having coffee parties.

Dorothy was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Wendell and also belonged to a circle.

Dorothy is survived by her sister, Ruth Beckman of Fergus Falls; brother, Eu-gene Sheehy of Bethlehem,

PA; sister-in-law, Marlys Sheehy of Panama City, FL; her son, Tom (Carol) Sand of Granite Falls; and her daughter, Dianne (Toby) Koltes of Wendell; grand-sons, Tim (Jill) Sand, and Rick (Kris) Sand of Granite Falls; granddaughter, Sheri (Kurt) Thorstad of Granite Falls; great-grandchildren, Bridget DeMarais of St. Cloud, Amber Sand, Tyler Sand, Wyatt Sand, Holdyn Sand, Chyanne Sand, Skylar Sand, Austin Thorstad, and Logan Thorstad, all of Gran-ite Falls; three great-great-grandchildren, Madison, Logan and Connor.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Roxy Sheehy; husband, Edmund Sand; brothers, Tom Sheehy and Edward Sheehy; sister, Helen Miller; brothers-in-law, Ivan Miller and Albert Beckman; and grandson, Todd Koltes.

age 85, of St. Louis Park, MN, passed away Monday, February 27, 2012.

A memorial service was held Friday, March 2, at Westwood Lutheran Church, St. Louis Park. Interment was at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.

Alden was born to John and Alma Blixrud on January 9, 1927, on the home farm in Lien Township by Barrett, Minnesota. He was baptized and confirmed by Rev. Ivar Sandberg, attended rural school and graduated from Barrett High School in 1944.

After his time in the army in a Ranger Company in Korea, he returned to Moorhead State College and graduated in 1953. He be-came a classroom teacher,

then the high school princi-pal in Barrett in 1956. After receiving his Master’s degree at UND in Grand Forks, he became a superintendent at several small schools. Upon retirement, he moved to St.

Alden is survived by his wife of 60 years, Eileen (Ackerson); children, Julia (Keith Russell) Blixrud, Craig (Susan) Blixrud, Wen-dy (Ellsworth) Beckmann; grandchildren, Brandon, Al-exander, Rachel, and Morgan Blixrud, and Amanda Fen-ske; brother, John Blixrud of St. Louis Park; sisters-in-law, Carolyn Blixrud and Elfrida Strand of Elbow Lake; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Alma (Onstad) Blixrud; brothers, Tom and Paul; and sisters, Gertrude (Ranzen-berger) and Joren (Moor-head).

Ruth LarsenRuth Elaine Larsen, age

82, of Madison died peace-fully at her home on May 4, 2012, surrounded by family members.

Funeral services for Ruth were held on Monday, May 7, at Faith Lutheran Church in Madison with Rev. Kirk Mes-eck officiating. Interment was in the Faith Lutheran Cemetery.

Special music was pro-vided by organist, Linda Anderson and soloist Julie Hill. Active casketbearers were Ruth’s grandchildren, Michael Otten, Matthew Ot-ten, Amanda Otten, Jason Boxrud, Heather Lehmkuhl, Nia Toenies, Cory Wildung, and Megan Wildung. Honor-ary casket were V. F. W. and American Legion Auxiliaries and Ruth’s home caregiver ladies.

Ruth Elaine Boe was born on September 12, 1929 to parents Edward and Nancy (Evavold) Boe. She was baptized and confirmed in the Pelican Lake Lutheran Church in Ashby, MN. She graduated from Ashby High School in 1948.

She met Carlyle at a dance in Fergus Falls in the late ‘40s where both were employed. They were mar-ried in a simple ceremony in Ruth’s church in Ashby on June 30, 1950.

They moved to Madison,

MN in March of 1951 for Carlyle’s employment. This is where their four children were born. They built a new house in Madison in 1958 and it has been their home ever since.

Ruth found part-time employment at Vikre Drug in Madison in the early ‘50s and then at Oftedahl Drug for 23 years before her retirement in 1994.

She was a meticulous housekeeper and took pride in her welcoming home. She was considered by many to be a “classy lady.”

As Carlyle’s wife for 61 years, Ruth enjoyed family gatherings, old time music, and traveling with their friends to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, and several trips to Mexico. They

also took brief winter trips to southern states.

Ruth was an active mem-ber of Faith Lutheran Church, Ladies Aid and the Ruth Circle Bible Study group. She completed the two year Bethel Bible Study series in 1980 with Pastor Ed and Bea Astrup as teachers.

Ruth experienced a se-vere stroke eight years ago (12/26/03) which left her unable to talk (aphasia), and more recently - unable to walk or swallow. With the help of some very capable and loving caregiving ladies, for which the family is most grateful, she was able to be at her home most of the time.

Ruth devoted her life to her family and Christian faith. She was a kind, compas-sionate, loving woman and will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband, Carlyle; daughters, Patricia (Daniel) Otten of Grand Rapids, Barbara (Ron-ald) Toenies of St. Michael, and Diane (Larry) Wildung of Nassau; 8 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren; and sister, Norma Larson of Albertville, MN.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; broth-ers, Raymond and Stanley Boe; sister, Dorothy (Lowell) Johnson all of Ashby, MN; and 17-year-old son David in 1979.

Wearing a Poppy says ‘I remember’

by C. A. RAYEditor

The other side of the memorial issue

•There is another side to this issue that people are afraid to bring up.

BY ROBERT REICHUniversity of California, Berkley

The tinder-box society •Increasing productivity, widening inequality, and

rising unemployment create tinder-box societies.

While it has been fascinating to watch the Courthouse Vet-erans’ Memorial location debate play out on the pages of this newspaper, we are disappointed only one side of the issue has been presented. Sadly, there is a reason for this, and by the tone of the letters to the editor we have been printing, it’s easy to see what this reason is. First of all, we applaud those who have taken the time to write. Nearly all those writing so far have been from veterans or family members of veterans. The fact that this issue has inspired them to write shows they are still very much invested in their country and love of country. However, it is wrong to suggest that anyone who doesn’t want the Veterans’ Memorial to be placed in the front center of the courthouse lawn is less than patriotic, or does not want to give the veterans the honor they deserve. This has been the tone of some of the letters. Your neighbors who chose to run for public offi ce, such as the County Board, are the very defi nition of patriotic. They run to serve and their service also deserves respect. I have been attending County Board meetings for 25 years and believe me, these public servants have the utmost respect for veterans and the sacrifi ces they have made. However, there are legitimate reasons why the Grant County Board of Commissioners are hesitant to give away some of the most valuable real estate in the county. The main reason is that this land belongs to the entire county. While dozens of veterans and supporters have written letters supporting the front center location, county board members have received even more calls from constituents saying the memorial should not be in that location. You will not see these callers writing letters to the editor because they don’t want to suffer the same abuse the county board has. Another reason for locating the memorial elsewhere is that a main waterline for the courthouse runs under the proposed location. If that waterline ever has to be dug up, the memorial will be damaged and since the Grant County Veterans’ Memorial Support Association has not signed a maintenance agreement for the memorial, there is no plan in place to repair the Memorial. The unsigned maintenance agreement is another reason the county board is hesitant to agree to the location. Most of the members of the GCVMSA are older and will not be able to do the maintenance of the Memorial in 10 or 20 years. What will happen then? Will the Memorial begin to deteriorate and become an eyesore, front and center on the Courthouse lawn? I am neutral on this issue, and will appreciate the memorial, and respect its meaning, no matter where it is located. I simply wanted to point out there is another side to the issue, a side that is not being expressed in letters to the editor. Hopefully, in the future, readers who have a difference of opinion, will not be afraid to express it.

The National Newspaper Association just celebrated the passage of S. 1789, the 21st Century Postal Service Act, which takes a giant step toward preserving mail delivery for all who need it. But the Washington spin machine is now running double time to discredit the bill and to provide political cover for those who voted against it. Although many good and thoughtful senators have expressed widely varying views on what ails USPS, as well as what can fi x it, there is an enormous amount of misconception swirling around. One truly inaccurate belief is that this bill would cost taxpayers something between $11 and $34 billion. The other is that this bill leads to a bailout. Neither of those assertions is true. There are no taxpayer funds going into USPS because of this bill. And there is no bailout. The bill gives back money that you, the postage payer, were over-charged because of overzealous collections for USPS employee benefi t funds. Because of the give-back--which barely scratches the surface on the excess charges--the bill creates the appearance of an addition to the federal defi cit. But that is only because USPS dollars have been used to plug other holes in federal spending. Community newspapers need a viable Postal Service. While no legislation is ever perfect, NNA believes S. 1789 sets the right direction at the right time.

To the Editor,

The month of May is des-ignated as “Poppy Month.” Growing up and going to coun-try school, we always made poppy posters and learned the poem “In Flanders Fields,” but I never learned the signifi cance of the poppy or what it meant to disabled and hospitalized vet-erans until I joined the American Legion Auxiliary. In 1921 the poppy became the offi cial fl ower of the Ameri-can Legion, in memory of those who fought on the battlefi elds of Belgium during World War I. It has continued to be the American Legion’s Memorial fl ower throughout all the years, wars, and confl icts the United States has been involved in since. Poppy donations help sup-port the disabled and hospital-ized veterans who make the poppies. It is a small income for them. When you give a do-nation to the American Legion Auxiliary lady on Poppy Day, you are helping to support the many programs the Auxiliary funds for the disabled, hospi-talized, or homeless veteran. Every cent of donations go to veterans. The poppy also serves as a tribute to the lives lost in all wars, and honors the living veteran. I’m not sure how many veterans Grant County has had, but there are 63 who have died in the service of their country. When you wear a poppy you are saying “I remember.” Poppies are never “sold” by the volunteers – they are ‘dis-tributed.’ The person getting a poppy makes a donation at his or her discretion. Any amount is appreciated. Poppy Day in Elbow Lake is May 18. As one of the poppy posters said last year, “Get a Poppy – Honor our Veterans.” In Honor and Remem-brance,

Community newspapers need

viable USPS •And support the just passed 21st Century Postal Service Act

The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 13,338 Tuesday, its highest since December, 2007. The S&P 500 added 16 points. Wall Street will remember May 1 as a great day.

But most of these gains are going to the richest 10 percent of Americans who own 90 percent of the shares traded on Wall Street. And the lion’s share of the gains are going to the wealthiest one percent.

Shares are up because corporate profits are up, and profits are up largely because companies have figured out how to do more with less.

Payrolls used to account for almost 70 percent of the typical company’s costs. But one of the most striking legacies of the Great Recession has been the decline of full-time employment - as companies have substituted software or outsourced jobs abroad (courtesy of the Internet, making outsourcing more efficient than ever), or shifted them to contract workers also linked via Internet and software.

That’s why most of the gains from the productivity revolution are going to the owners of capital, while typical workers are either unemployed or underemployed, or else getting wages and benefits whose real value continues to drop. The portion of total income going to capital rather than labor is the highest since the 1920s.

Increasingly, the world belongs to those collecting capital gains.They’re the ones who demanded and got massive tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, on the

false promise that the gains would “trickle down” to everyone else in the form of more jobs and better wages.

They’re now advocating austerity economics, on the false basis that cuts in public spend-ing - including education, infrastructure, and safety nets - will generate more “confidence” and “certainty” among lenders and investors, and also lead to more jobs and better wages.

None of this is sustainable, economically or socially.It’s not sustainable economically because it has resulted in chronically inadequate

demand for goods and services. That’s meant anemic growth punctuated by recessions. Without a larger share of the economic gains, the vast middle class doesn’t have the purchas-ing power to buy the goods and services an ever-more productive economy can generate.

It’s not sustainable socially because it has resulted in rising frustration over the in-ability of most people to get ahead.

Austerity economics in Europe is fanning the flames, as public budgets are slashed on the false crucible of fiscal responsibility. In the United States, an anemic recovery and plunging home prices are taking a toll: a large portion of the public believes the game is rigged, and no longer trusts that the major institutions of society - big business, Wall Street, or government - are on their side. In Europe and America, 30 to 50 percent of recent college graduates are unemployed or underemployed.

Inequality is also widening in China, where the scandal surrounding Bo Xilai and his family is serving as a public morality tale about great wealth and official corruption. Students in Chile are in revolt over soaring tuition and other perceived social injustices.

It’s a combustible concoction wherever it occurs: Increasing productivity, widening inequality, and rising unemployment create tinder-box societies.

Public anger and frustration can ignite in two very different ways. One is toward re-forms that more broadly share the productivity gains.

The other is toward demagogues that turn people against one another.Demagogues use fear and frustration to advance themselves and their own narrow

political agendas - scapegoating immigrants, foreigners, ethnic minorities, labor unions, government workers, the poor, the rich, and “enemies within” such as communists, ter-rorists, or other conspirators.

Be warned. The demagogues already are on the loose. In Europe, fringe parties on the right and left are gaining ground. In America, politics has turned especially caustic and polarized. (The right is even accusing people it doesn’t like of being communists.) No one knows where China is heading, but reformers and ideologues are battling some of it out in public.

May 1 may be a good day for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, but the future depends on the job prospects and wages of the average worker.

To the Editor,

I was very pleased that Jay McNamar was endorsed to be our next State Repre-sentative from our new District 12A. I have known Jay Mc-Namar for over 35 years. He is an outstanding person and will be a great and much needed voice for rural Minnesota.

WAY BACK WHEN…

May 9, 2012 A5 Grant County Herald

2006: The Year in Review

Brady Schneeberger is WCA’s fi rst state champ

Elbow Lake celebrates its 125 anniversary in 2012. For the next few months Way Back When will highlight events of the past 25 years, one year each week. Regular Way Back When columns will return in late June.

Business News:A big change came to

Elbow Lake’s main street in 2006 when Mohagen’s Hard-ware put up a new building in the space where a portion of the old building was razed in 2005. After moving into the new store a big auction sale was held to sell fixtures from the old store, tin ceiling panels and excess merchan-dise. In October demolition began on the old building to make way for a parking lot.

Fergus Falls based Café Favorites expanded its busi-ness to Elbow Lake. The company, which made sand-wiches for school lunch programs throughout the United States, moved into the old Enviro-Tech building bringing 30-35 new jobs to Elbow Lake.

Chad Heidinger and Steve McGee collaborated on two new businesses in 2006. First they formed CS Irrigation as a sort of merger between their businesses, Chad’s Plumbing & Heating and Gro-Green lawn service. The company installed un-derground lawn irrigation

systems and underground “invisible” wireless pet fenc-ing. Their second business was “Corner Consignment” located across from the post office. It sold consignment items, wooden signs, log furniture, lawn statuary and the wares of different area crafters.

Jim and Diane Weaver and Tammy Brown pur-chased McCarthy’s Supper Club from Jim McCarthy. It was renamed “DreamWeav-ers Ballroom, Lounge, Off Sale and Deli.” The biggest change for the establish-ment was the removal of the bowling alley to make room for a ballroom that could be used for wedding dances and other banquets. To recondition and update the bowling alley, which had been in place since the 1960s, was just too expensive to be feasible. The off-sale was moved to the back of the building and other remodel-ing was also done.

ELEAH Medical Center made several improvements in 2006. New windows were installed in the hospital along with new air condition-ing and heat in each patient room. An all-building sprin-kler system, new fire alarm system and new central air conditioning system were also installed.

Lee Moellman and Mike Bevins started L&M Enter-

prises’ Sober Cab to offer rides home from bars to those who may have been too drunk to drive. They initially contracted with Gilly’s and DreamWeavers in Elbow Lake, Barrett Inn 2 ½ in Barrett and Benny D’s in Wendell.

Sarah (Junker) Shoemak-er, a licensed paramedical aesthetician set up shop in Salon Depot as “Sarah the Skin Care Specialist.” She offered facials, chemical peels and dermabrasion, and waxing, as well as a complete line of skin care products.

The airport saw new con-struction of a new 3400 foot paved runway. It replaced the old 2700 foot grass runway constructed almost 50 years earlier. Ninety-five percent of the funding came from the FAA with the remainder provided by the city. It was ready to use in November.

There was more con-struction at Elbow Lake Co-op Grain as they put up a new 675,000 bushel grain bin on the west side of their property.

The FSA and Soil and Water Conservation District offices moved out of their building downtown to their new building on the south edge of town.

In 2006 the U.S. Postal Service honored Arlen Ben-son for 15 years as a rural mail carrier and Darla Chris-tensen for 20 years at the Elbow Lake Post Office. She had served 27 years total with the Postal Service.

Dr. Orvin Leis was hon-ored as “Clinician of the Year” by the Heartland Study Club. The club is comprised of a group of dental profes-sionals dedicated to provid-ing the very best in patient care available.

Lorraine Olson retired from Culligan Water Condi-tioning after 39 years behind the reception desk.

Bank of the West Elbow Lake branch manager Jason Jaeger took a new job as Busi-ness/Ag Banker at American Federal Bank in Fargo. He had been in Elbow Lake since 2001.

Old Mades Antique store held a liquidation auction.

School News:An operating levy refer-

endum passed in an election that saw heavy voter turnout

due in part to the use of mail-in ballots in addition to in-person voting. The levy was for $850/pupil and an additional $100/pupil for technology and other en-hancements. An operational levy had failed the prior November.

One-Act Play placed second in at the Sub-section 21 festival to advance to the Section competition with the play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.” For the first time ever the WCA Knowledge Bowl team advanced to the State Knowl-edge Bowl competition. Team members were Dan Mahoney, Pat Ellis, Luke Arn-quist and Leah Johnson. Dan Mahoney also advanced to state competition in Speech, along with Maggie Moerke and Pat Ellis. Ellis placed 7th at state. The WCA FCCLA (Family, Career and Com-munity Leaders of America) Lifeskills team earned a 1st place medal at the state convention. Team members were Lauren Grenson, Carly Gilbertson, Cara Smith, Becca Olson and Megan Keep.

WCA senior Luke Arn-quist was picked to represent Sub-section 21 for the AAA award that recognizes and honors high school seniors who have excelled in the classroom, in athletics and in the fine arts. He went on to compete for a chance to represent Region 6 at the state level.

Brady Schneeberger made his 5th trip to the State Wrestling Tournament. Nate Long also earned a trip to state. Schneeberger became WCA’s first state champion in any sport/event (since consolidation). He also set a school record for most career varsity wins with 184. Krystal Lacey advanced to the State Track Meet where she placed 12th in the discus event

Early in the year Kent Marshall resigned his posi-tion on the school board due to lack of time to commit to the job. He had been on the school board for 15 years. In August WCA Superintendent Gerald Ness resigned to take the superintendent’s job in Fergus Falls. Dr. Chuck Cheney was named interim superintendent.

After 33 years of teach-ing physical education and health and coaching at Elbow Lake-Wendell, West Central and West Central Area, Mary Boyack retired. She started at EL-W in the fall of 1972 as a fresh out of college Miss Huber. This was just after Title IX passed revolution-izing girls’ sports. The EL-W girls’ basketball team won the District 21 championship that first year but there were

no playoffs beyond the dis-trict level at that time. Dur-ing her tenure she coached almost everything at the school except football, even coaching boys’ basketball for a weekend. In 1974 she married fellow teacher Dick Boyack. Brandon Gruchow was hired as the new phy ed teacher for the 2006-07 school year.

Jay McNamar was hon-ored as the 2006 Alexandria Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year. He was nominated at the Alexandria store by a stu-dent or parent. He received a plaque and gift certificate and the school received a $1000 check. He was then eligible to compete for the State Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year. He had been at EL-W, WC and WCA for 35 years.

City News:After hearing a presenta-

tion by the WCA KAT (Kids Against Tobacco) group, the city council passed a resolu-tion making all city-owned parks, playgrounds and athletic fields tobacco-free zones. Tipsinah Mounds Campground was excluded from the policy. Soon af-ter, the county considered a ban on smoking at the courthouse park so it would be consistent with the city policy.

The city also held a public meeting to discuss city parks and improvements that needed to be made. A priority was set to replace un-safe playground equipment and the parks committee worked on bringing recom-mendations to the council for new playground sets for Kube and Veterans parks. The council also approved the building of a concession stand at the athletic park softball fields for use during tournaments and for storage of grounds keeping equip-ment. New campsites were added to Tipsinah Mounds Campground.

The city dealt with complaints about an aban-doned house in northeast Elbow Lake and about the odor, general appearance

and illegal dumping at the grass composting site near the airport.

Other News:In July, 27 cars of a 90

car westbound Canadian Pacific freight train derailed between the 4th Ave. under-pass and the elevator. The train was on route from Chi-cago to Calgary with mostly empty cars. Nineteen of the 27 cars were empty. Others contained sand or ceramic pellets. One empty tanker that had been carrying an ethanol product crashed through the fence at the recy-cling center. Nearby streets were closed until it was de-termined that nothing was leaking from the tank. The derailment was a good test of the county’s emergency management services.

Work continued on up-grading the library and community building. WCA Industrial Tech teacher John Kreft and his students start-ed work on remodeling the basement with the gutting of the senior nutrition center. In the mean time seniors had their meals in the craft room. A new basement exit was added as part of the up-grades. In October the library received a $50,000 donation from Thelma Swanson to be used for new windows, a permanent exterior sign and a lecture series that allowed the library to bring in au-thors, artists, professors and others for “Fireside Chats.” Pat Anderson and Susan Sanford joined the library staff as assistant librarians.

The November 2006 elections were the first to feature the use of electronic vote counting machines in Grant County. Craig Rupp won the seat for the District #4 commissioner represent-ing Elbow Lake replacing Dr. Richard Kastner who earlier in the year announced his intent to retire at the end of his term. Dr. Kastner held the position for 32 years and was mayor of Elbow Lake for 8 years before that. In the city races, incumbents Jim Franklin and Roger Toso were re-elected.

Brady Schneeberger savors his State Championship moment. He became WCA’s 1st state champion in any sport.

Twenty-seven cars of a westbound Canadian Pacifi c freight train derailed between the 4th Ave. underpass and Elbow Lake Co-op Grain Elevator.

Bees continued

‘... these chemicals stay in the soil for four to ten years.’almonds and cherries de-pend on bees. He takes bees to California each year to pollinate almond orchards, and is seeing huge losses of bees. The problem even has a name, Colony Col-lapse Disorder. For years its cause was unknown, but beekeepers themselves claim they now know, the collapse of the bee industry can be traced to these systemic insecticides that are used to treat seeds. They become part of the growing plant and kill insects, including bees, who land on them when they emerge as well.

Ellis said he doesn’t blame the farmers, who must buy the seed corn that is of-fered to them.

“The system has failed the beekeepers and the farm-ers as well, by making these

insecticides the industry standard without adequate tests.”

Ellis said it is a com-mon myth that the EPA is out there protecting us. He claims the EPA bowed to economic pressure from the insecticide industry to get these chemicals out there so they could be sold.

“Our petition requires the EPA to do the proper field tests on this class of insecticide, as their own risk assessors have told them to do. It was wrong to register this class of insecticide without proper field studies being done. If the EPA doesn’t do something, we may sue to make them do their duty.”

The EPA has 60 days to respond to the petition, “But I’m not optimistic they will do due diligence to do what

is necessary to protect pol-linators.”

Ellis said when he start-ed working with bees that insecticide was used spar-ingly, and only when there were insect infestations.

“Now every seed is treat-ed, and these chemicals stay in the soil for four to ten years and build up.”

Neonicotinoids were developed because they were less toxic to humans and mammals, and that may be, but they are toxic to insects, including honeybees, and in high doses the danger to humans is unknown. Direc-tions on seed corn packaging warns users to wear gloves when handling the seed. Since their introduction in the 90s, neonicotinoids have exploded in popular-ity among farmers and in

products for home garden-ers. Today, 90 percent of seed corn is treated with the chemicals before plant-ing, and hundreds of back-yard products contain it as well.

Bayer CropScience, the maker of one of the most widely used neonicotinoids, Clothianidin, says field stud-ies they conducted were adequate and they are con-fident continued research will prove the product is safe for bees when used ap-propriately.

Meanwhile, Ellis contin-ues to monitor his bees this spring, and doesn’t like what he is seeing.

“Bees are the canary in the coal mine, an indica-tor that the use of these pesticides has gotten out of hand.”

Holding up a glass can-ning jar of the multi-colored seed corn he says, “The

chemical in just this amount of seed corn can kill every bee I own.”

The fi lm crew records Liebl fi lling his corn planter with seed corn during the fi lming of an upcoming segment of NBC Nightly News last Tuesday.

Letter to the Editor

Sen. Reid to blame for halting long-term spent fuel storageTo the Editor,

I read with interest the guest editorial regarding nu-clear waste disposal by Dr. Patterson in the May 2 edition of the Herald. While he made several good points, some of the information presented was in error or incomplete. When writing about the event at the Fukushima-Daiichi reactors in Japan, Dr. Patterson stated “It’s worth noting that the amount of fuel in vulnerable storage pools in Japan was far less than what is crowded into pools at many U.S. reac-tors.” Actually, the common pool at Fukushima contained 6375 fuel assemblies, far more than any pool at a U.S. reactor that I know of. The two spent fuel pools in Minnesota, at the Prairie Island and Monticello

nuclear sites, each have about 2000 fuel elements. Dr. Patterson also wrote, “As we all learned, a loss of coolant could produce a fuel melt and large radiation releases.” According to the Special Report on the Nuclear Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, INPO 11-005, November 2011, Revision 0, “Subsequent analy-ses and inspections determined that the spent fuel pool water levels never dropped below the top of fuel in any spent fuel pool and that no signifi cant fuel damage had occurred.” INPO is the Institute for Nuclear Power Operation, an independent industry oversight group es-tablished after the Three Mile Island accident. This news that the spent fuel was not damaged at the

Japanese reactors actually came as somewhat of a sur-prise to many experts who had believed that overheated and burning fuel in dried out spent fuel pools caused the hydrogen explosions that blew the roofs off some of the reac-tor buildings and caused the smoke seen in TV coverage of the event. The spent fuel pools performed much better under loss of cooling conditions than almost anyone expected. Even so, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is actively pursu-ing several new requirements for our plants to increase the safety of the spent fuel pools. Dr. Patterson’s recom-mendation for interim storage of spent fuel was to build hardened on-site storage facili-

ties for spent fuel. While this is an idea worth considering, I believe that dry cask storage of spent fuel in extremely robust steel casks or concrete contain-ers is suffi cient. Both the Prairie Island and Monticello sites in Minnesota currently are moving fuel from the spent fuel pools to these casks located on the grounds of the sites. The casks are designed to withstand fl oods, earthquakes, airplane crashes, fi res, and terrorist at-tacks. Well trained and heavily armed security forces at each plant add an additional layer of protection to the fuel such that a terrorist would be unlikely to choose to attack such a well designed and well defended target.

I wholeheartedly agree with Dr. Patterson’s and the Physi-cians for Social Responsibility’s position that long-term storage for spent fuel should be in a deep geological repository. The U.S. was well on the road to building such a repository at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, even to the point of submitting the application for licensee to the Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission, when all funding was suddenly cut off by the Obama administration and the NRC was ordered to halt all work on the license review. There is pri-marily one person to blame for this precipitous action and that is Harry Reid, the Senate Major-ity Leader. By law, it is the U.S. government’s responsibility to

provide a long-term storage facility for nuclear fuel, and breaking that law has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars for lawsuit settlements and has cost the electric company ratepayers millions of dollars for building temporary storage facilities.

heads if they park on the edge of the east lawn. Leim-kuhl asked if the irrigation contractor should get started next week, with the Veterans’ Memorial location still up in the air.

“Do we put in the ir-rigation and have to change it, if the memorial goes in?” he asked.

Leimkuhl was told to get the irrigation and landscap-ing started.

County Coordinator James Standish said he will put ads in the local papers an-nouncing that there will be a two day shutdown of offices that will be going into the Grant County Courthouse, Thursday and Friday, May 17-18, to allow the offices to be moved in. The Grant County Sheriff’s Department will not be shut down, but the Treasurer’s office, Auditor’s office, License Bureau, Court Administrator, Recorder’s office, Registrar’s office, and

County Coordinator’s office will be completely closed for those two days.

The commissioners passed a motion to purchase a floor cleaning machine for the newly refinished terraz-zo floors in the courthouse for $5,600.

Standish reported that earlier this year he applied for a $10,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Fund, to help defray the cost of the study on how to restore the courthouse murals. This study was re-cently completed by Conrad Schmidt Studios, and the county should now be able to apply for Legacy Grants to restore the murals.

Other businessWith the Sheriff’s De-

partment about to purchase a new Ford Explorer, County Engineer Tracy Von Bargen said he would like his depart-ment to purchase the old

Sheriff Department’s vehicle for $12,000.

Von Bargen also told the commissioners that while the 1992 truck the Highway Department uses for install-ing signs is in good shape, the crane on the truck lifts only 50 pounds and is not very useful for installing heavy and unwieldy signs.

“We are going to be doing a lot of signing in the next five years,” said Von Bargen. “And I would like to put a new crane on the truck.”

Von Bargen said the crane would cost around $14,000 and could be in-stalled in the county shop. He said he had the money in his equipment budget.

Von Bargen said, adver-tising locally, he received only one applicant for the County Ditch Inspector job, and said he would expand the scope of his search to advertise further away from Grant County.

To the Editor,

I’ve been reading with great interest the letters to the editor that have been printed in the Grant County Herald the last few weeks. So far, there hasn’t been one letter that agrees with the commissioners. Rest assured this letter is not in agreement with them either! Their argument with having the memorial right in front of the courthouse is it will distract from the beauty of this old and historic build-ing. There is nothing that can distract from the glory of this old building, except maybe the two tall fl owering trees that are right smack dab in the center of the sidewalks going up to the building and they will be going nowhere but up and will certainly dis-tract from admiring our dear old courthouse. It is very dear to me. As

Letter to the Editor

Not one letter agrees with the commissioners

a child my friends and I were always welcomed by Charlie Nelson, the County Auditor, to come and play in there, so I surely want nothing to distract from the dear old building. I and my sons, sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, have all contributed to this memorial. Also my brother, who is now 95 years old. We paid for bricks to honor an uncle from WWI. Also our husbands, brothers-in-law, sons, brothers, grandson, cousins. One of the commissioners had uncles and a great uncle, dad and cousins that were in the service. In asking around, it seems only one commissioner was in the service. Is that why, as long as they were not in the service of their country, that they fi gure it can go sit in a corner and be used as the bird’s bathroom? When they say that they didn’t give permission to have it right in front of the courthouse, they have to be mistaken, be-

cause there has only been one picture of the memorial and that was in front and center in the circle in the front of the courthouse. Do they think because they have been there so long and make the decisions for the people of the county, that the building belongs to them? Sorry boys, it belongs to everyone in the county and it sounds so far at least, like the majority want it where our Legion-naires want it. All these men, women, and boys went when called and did what was asked of them. Many lost their lives or were maimed for life. It seems that the least we can do for them now is to give them the honor of being front and center! Thank you for letting me vent. Lou Ann Swenson Barrett, MN

To the Editor, Veterans’ Memorial up-date: We have now sold over 400 bricks and have several more committed too. We have now raised over $60,000 to build the Veterans’ Memorial in front of the court-house. If the commissioners give the go ahead to the design and location agreed on at the July 2011 commissioners meeting, we could begin construction soon.

Update

To our Grant County Commissioners: This is a letter to our Grant County Commissioners, can we do any less than place a memorial honoring our sol-diers, Navy, Airmen, or Na-tional Guard, front and center because those who answered the call to serve their country "America," State of Minnesota, County of Grant, with honor,

Can we do less? ‘No!’

Ask a Trooper

Responding to fire/EMS calls Question: I am a volunteer fireman, and I have

friends who are with EMS. Please tell us what the law is, on getting and using a red light on our own vehicle when we are responding to fire/EMS calls. Thanks!

Answer: Minnesota law is very clear on what can be used on a personal vehicle for response to fire/EMS calls. Under MN State Statute 169.58 in part, “Upon obtaining a permit from the commis-sioner of public safety, any motor vehicles operated by an active member of a volunteer fire department authorized by or contracting with any city, town, or township in this state, …may be equipped with a lamp emitting a red light to the front of such ve-hicle. The lens of such lamp shall be not more than three inches in diameter. Such lamp shall be lighted only when the member of the volunteer fire depart-ment…is responding to an emergency call in con-nection with duties as a volunteer firefighter... The commissioner of public safety is hereby authorized to issue permits on applications of a member of a volunteer fire department properly certified to by the chief of said volunteer fire department.

So, you can get a permit “if” your fire chief/EMS supervisor and department authorizes it. You can-not simply apply on your own.

When you are responding to a call, the light is simply asking the motoring public to give you space to respond. They are in no way required to give you the right of way, nor are you to assume you have the right of way. A volunteer responding to a call has no rights as an emergency vehicle. You must follow all laws governing the road. It’s as simple as that. Also, the lamp cannot flash and cannot be more than three inches in diameter. (That’s not very big!) You should also find out from your city and department if you are covered under their insurance when responding in your own vehicle. Also, check with your own auto insurer to see if you are covered. Some do cover you as long as you are responding “with due regard to the safety of others.” You have to obey all laws, and you have to do so “with due regard to the safety of others.”

If you are involved in a crash while respond-ing to a call and it is determined you were driving outside the parameters of the law, you could be involved in criminal litigation. Bottom line, you could get a ticket for breaking a driving law or worse if injury or death is involved. If you are found to be driving without due regard to the safety of others, you have opened the civil litigation door! If you step out of bounds from established department rules, you could be “left out in the cold” to fight a civil battle on your own. Two bad things occur when a volunteer responding to a call gets into a crash. You have now doubled the need for emergency response if there is injury involved, and you have removed yourself from the original call. Remember, “You can’t give the care if you aren’t there!”

If you have any questions concerning traffic re-lated laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions

The staff of the Minnesota Military Museum at Camp Ripley, Minn. announces the switch to their summer hours, effective May 1. From May 1 to September 30th the mu-seum is open 7 days a week, including all holidays, from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The museum is located just inside the main gate of Camp Ripley and visitors will be directed at the gate.

“The museum has something for all ages in the fam-ily” stated Jeff Thielen, executive director. “The kids enjoy climbing on the tanks and climbing into the tank trainer and helicopters, while parents and grandparents become nostalgic while touring the many exhibits inside the museum covering all branches of service through all of our nation’s conflicts on the home front and on the battlefield.

Our mission is simple stated Thielen, “we want to educate the public on the service of Minnesota’s veterans, preserve a record of their service and preserve the artifacts related to their service for future generations.”

There are many new and exciting things going on at the museum this summer with the addition of volunteers who will be providing limited tours of inside and outside exhibits.

The new exhibit on Minnesota’s two civil wars which opened last July has received great reviews from all who have visited. The exhibit includes the history of Minnesota’s “other Civil War”, the tragic Dakota war of 1862 which changed the course of state history, and kept Minnesota soldiers in uniform for 15 months after the war between the North and the South ended.

“This really is the only complete military museum in the state and we encourage anyone interested in military history and supporting our veterans to plan a visit for this summer,” stated Thielen.

Submitted by Roger DalumThe story goes that there were two gorillas who lived

down on the east side of Elk Lake at a hobby farm in the oak woods. No one is sure where they came from before that. The big guy was named Jason and the little guy was named Markie (go figure). They spent most of their time sitting on the patio basking in the sun, but soon grew restless with southern Grant County and moved up to Erdahl Township to sit on the hill over looking County Road 10, four miles south of the Erdahl corner. They came in May and spent the whole summer and fall waving and guiding people on their way. We felt bad they didn’t have any clothes so we dressed them for duck hunting, Halloween, and deer hunting.

Many people stopped to visit the two of them and take pictures with them. The kids sure enjoyed them.

They decided to leave the farm the Friday after Thanksgiving. I suppose it was getting cold for them on the hillside. They were dressed in blaze orange so they were safe for the hunting season. They did leave their chair (grandma’s recliner) which also disappeared sometime in January. They must of missed the comfort of their old chair!

It is good to hear they showed up again in Wendell, at least the big guy. Sure hope the little guy is okay! Someone or something had pulled part of his stuffing out so his health wasn’t the best.

Anyway we sure hope they have found a good home and are being taken care of. Recently we found out they already had names, Carol and little G. We miss you and we are happy to hear Carol is around but where is little G?

The gorilla dressed for Halloween.

The story goes ...

and on and on ...

Carol the Gorilla came to visit the offi ces of West Central Min-nesota Communities Action, Inc. to learn about the services they offer.

Steve Leis spotted this on the way to work, took a few seconds to soak in, then he realized he was witnessing a remake of “King Kong”… Elbow Lake grain bin style.

Dawson’s Journey M&M stands for Mighty Me

by Tessa RudeDawson Rude, a WCA North Elementary student from

Wendell, will be having a non-traditional lemonade stand on Saturday, May 12 from 7:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon in Wen-dell...and instead, he will have a M&M stand - to stand for Mighty Me! The M&M stand is to help him raise money for the National Kidney Foundation, in support of kidney disease, something Dawson has lived with his whole life. Dawson’s Journey has a team that will walk in Fargo on June 16 and hopes to raise $100 just in the M&M stand. Dawson is not only supporting his fight against kidney disease, but the thousands that walk beside him and the hundreds that will be diagnosed this year. Support Dawson’s team and learn how you can prevent kidney disease, and signs and symptoms to watch for.

Come and enjoy some garage sale shopping and M&M’s. I am sure Dawson will have a story or two for you also! Supporters that helped donate M&M’s will be listed in next week’s paper.

If you would like to support Dawson and are unable to stop at the M&M stand or garage sale, contact 218-458-2435 or email [email protected] and you will be given a link to Dawson’s Team Fundraiser page.

Pastor’s Column

Pastor Peter Marty writing in a book called Anatomy of Grace, describes a lost and found table that can be found in most churches. This table contains all kinds of things that people have left behind or forgotten. One librarian found a note inside a library book that contained a note card with this message on it, ‘thanks for all you do.’ The note was an unexpected thank you that does not come often enough in our world today.

In our congregations we have people who spend hours working on behalf of congregations who may not get a word of thanks for all that they do for others.

Perhaps a message to them might be a message of grace in a sometimes grace-less world. How wonderful to feel noticed when we feel down and out or when we are faced with monotonous routine. Hearing a word of thanks at times like these could be like a lifeline to those who feel they are sinking. When we get off track and lose sight of meaningful things and important relationships, a word of thanks may be a wonderful gift. The blessing of having someone notice what we are doing can renew and refresh us.

The church in the port of Thessolonica was a place that was hanging onto their faith in the face of fierce op-position. Paul writes in his first letter to them a word of hope and a word of grace. Paul reminds them that they are chosen by God and they do belong. Even when others were telling them that they were not worth much at all. Paul told them that he gives thanks to God for them and for their faith.

Perhaps we need a word like that or perhaps we can give others a word like that. Most important of all, how-ever, is that whenever we feel forgotten or alone, in the middle of tasks that seem to have no meaning, our God is beside us and does not give up on us. We are chosen after all and called to an important task.

We can do one more thing too, we can remember to say thank you to God for all that is done on our behalf. Thanks for all you do. Perhaps these five words would make God’s heart glad.

Remember to ‘thank you’

Dawson Rude

Thank You to everyone for their prayers,

hugs, and concern during the loss of Art. Your support was greatly appreciated. God bless all

of you.

Farming andyour Freedom

Early and generous corn planting may be

bin busterThis could be the

mother of all corn crops—or not. That’s how the 2012 planting looks to experts around the na-tion because farmers are planting more acres of corn in 2012 than they have in any year since the late 1930s, according to a report on National Public Radio, May 3.

NPR said thanks to a mild spring (some might say summer-like spring!), planting has moved along briskly in the Upper Mid-west. Bill Couser, a crop farmer near Nevada, IA, told reporter Sarah Mc-Cammon, “This corn crop will knock your socks off, if all the stars line up and the good Lord gives us that blessing.”

Couser told NPR that after decades of farming, though, he knows better than to get too excited this early. As any farmer knows, any number of things could befall this early and generous crop—droughts, floods, attacks from pests, and disease. Even the best corn crops face these real possibili-ties sometime during the growing season.

The National Corn Growers Association likes the early planting. Paul Bertels, a NCGA economist told NPR, “The sooner you get the crop in—provided you don’t have a cold snap—you’ll actually get that plant through pollina-tion before the real heat of the summer.”

The NPR report said corn farmers are planting at almost twice the rate of a typical year. By May 3, nearly half of this year’s crop is in the ground. But early planting is only part of the picture this year. Farmers are expected to plant nearly 96 million acres in 2012, some 3.9 million more than last

year, and 10 million more than 2009. That was the year that yielded the larg-est corn harvest ever!

In fact, said NPR’s Mc-Cammon, if farmers follow through on their planting plans, the nation could see the most acres planted in corn since 1937. Add that to the fact that we have better seeds and improved farming methods, and it should produce yields that will be much higher than those in 1937.

Farmer Couser is opti-mistic about the huge crop, but he also worries about the downside. Such a crop could suppress market prices even though the cost of inputs remains high and steady. “Farmers are their (own) worst enemies,” he told NPR, “because we always do what we do best, and that’s overproduce. If we have more corn than we can use in ethanol, what will we do with that corn?”

Couser worries that ethanol won’t produce the demand it once did and that livestock number are down, but NPR quoted Chad Hart of Iowa State University Extension as saying he is not overly concerned about prices. He predicts a banner crop would push prices down a dollar or so below current prices (more than $6 per bushel), but they would still be better than the $2-$3 farmers had been used to receiving.

Hart also expects that ethanol demand will remain high, coupled with export demands from the Pacific Rim countries.

If those prices remain pretty healthy and Mother Nature cooperates, this huge planted crop could turn into a huge harvested crop--and farmers could be grinning all the way to the bank.

I’ll see ya!

Cash flow planning• News and

FARM MANAGEMENT MINUTE

Several producers have called this spring request-ing to run several different cash flow scenarios for 2012. With the positive influx of commodity prices and the considerable increase in in-put costs, many producers are doing some cash flow planning with the “what if” theory.

With the dry fall of 2011 and the early spring of 2012, spring planting has been moving along very smoothly. Spring wheat planting is wrapping up and corn planting will begin the 4th week of April. With the early spring, 2012 has the potential for a good crop come fall compared to last year when many fields were

seeded in wet soil conditions which had a negative impact on crop yields.

The beef cow/calf pro-ducers have experienced a mild winter which cut down on hay consumption and it looks like we could have an early pasture season with the warmer temperatures this spring. It’s also been a nice spring for calving not having to contend with wet and cold conditions.

It looks like most pro-ducers have locked in some good prices for this growing season. When running cash flow plans for the farm busi-ness with most of the input costs “locked in”, it’s nice to see a positive cash flow and potential profits protected. Hopefully, everybody will have a good planting season.

For more information on farm business management, please contact an instructor at 1 800-959-6282.

of “fun.” Put aside your fears about looking silly: if you’ve always wanted to dress like a Troll during Flekkefest, do it!

Check out the outskirts of Elbow Lake. Try a one night or weekend of camp-ing at Tipsinah Mounds Campground or play a game of golf at Tipsinah Mounds Golf Course and if you’re new to one or both at least give it a try. And it is fishing season once again…

Resist the tempta-tion to flop down on the couch with the attitude of “there’s never anything go-ing on…..”

Where to look for things going on? Feature stories about community gatherings and local hot spots are always read-ily available in the Grant County Herald. Pick up a copy or go online to get an idea of what events, celebrations or attractions are available.

Other residents. After chatting with someone at any of the local businesses, you are bound to come away with a few ideas.

This summer take ad-vantage of the nice weather and get out to the festivals and concerts. Keep an eye out for local town parades and the county fair where you can sample home-cooking, rides, and touring performers.

Hopefully, when you start looking around you’ll realize your little town can be just as fun as any me-tropolis, and also with a lot less smog and traffic.

1. There is no such thing as too much equipment.2. When in doubt, exaggerate.3. Even the best lines get weak after they have been

used a few times.4. Sometimes you really have to squirm to get off the

hook.5. The fishing is always better on the other side of

the lake.6. Good things come to those who wade.

Things I learned from fi shing

--You can name every-one you graduated with.

--You know what 4-H means.

--You went to parties at a pasture, barn, gravel pit, or in the middle of a dirt road.

--You used to ‘drag’ Main.

--You whispered the ‘F’ word and your parents knew within the hour.

--It was cool to date somebody from the neigh-boring town.

--The whole school went to the same party after graduation.

--You didn’t give direc-tions by street names but rather by references. Turn by Nelson’s house, go 2 blocks to Anderson’s, and it’s four houses left of the track field.

by coach Bryan Poyzer Browerville softball

pitcher Abby Aksamit knocked down Knight bat-ters like they were bowling pins last Monday, ending the five inning game with no hits and nine strike-outs, leading her Tigers to a 15-2 win. Abby is one of the reasons the Tigers are drawing a lot of attention this season.

Left fielder Anna Salber and Crystal Pearlson would each go 4-4 to lead the of-fensive attack.

Swanville,WCA go back and forth Swanville hosted West

Central Area in a Prairie Conference softball game, Tuesday, which locked pitch-ers Doranna Blasyck and Lexi Loven. Loven cruised through two innings before giving up an RBI single to Blasyck in the 3rd. Loven

would contribute on offense with an RBI single in the 4th to tie the game at three. The Knights would fight back with RBI singles by Megan Holl and Haley Stark in the top of the 4th to pull ahead by one. Abby Shultz would get her second hit of the game in the bottom of the 5th to give Swanville the lead.

The closely played game was called due to rain after five complete with Swanville taking a 5-3 victory.

The West Central Area girls golf team participated in the Benson Invitational on Wednesday, finishing ninth out of sixteen teams in the field with a score of 438. The event was won by Litchfield with a 361.

Tiffany Boysen broke into the 90’s for the first time with a 99 to lead the lady Knights. Marissa Hayward fin-ished strong, riding a solid short game to a score of 105. Morgan Grove shot a 113 and Katie Larkin’s 121 rounded out the team score.

McKenzie Hunter (127) and Vessa Bumgardner (134) completed the WCA scores for the day. Hunter posted her lowest 9-hole score of the season when she shot a 63 on the front 9, and Bumgardner’s 59 on the back nine was her lowest 9-hole total of the year.

“It was a beautiful day for golf and the girls really felt good about their day,” said West Central Area Head Coach Kari Kreft. “We made a good showing for ourselves.”

Medalist honors went to Raelin Setrum of Willmar with an 83. Alex Tipka of Litchfield was second with an 86, followed by Sara Tews of Litchfield with an 87, Steph Werner of Lakeview with an 89, and Carlee Bach of Willmar with an 89.

Ortonville finished second in the team scoring with a 381, followed by New London-Spicer (388), Montevideo (398), Wabasso (404), Sauk Centre (413), Paynesville (418), West Central Area (438), Lakeview (443), Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta (447), Dawson-Boyd 452 and Benson (453).

By Kris BeuckensThe Lady Knights were at Frazee for a Heart

O’Lakes Conference golf meet last Tuesday afternoon and they placed seventh in the eight-team field with a team score of 232. Pelican Rapids placed first again with a 179 which was three strokes better than second place Perham.

The Lady Knights were led by Tiffany Boysen with a 47. Her score was just one shot off of medaling for fifth place. “Tiffany was very excited about her game. She’s been averaging about a bogey round which is great,” said Head Coach Kari Kreft.

Katie Larkin came in with a 58 as did Marissa Hayward. “Katie Broke into the 50s again as she shaved another stroke off her season’s best,” said Kreft. “We’d love to see that continue. It’s fun to see her feeling confident about her golf game.”

Vessa Bumgardner shot a 69 and Hailey Kreft a 73. “Vessa continues to make solid contact with the ball.”

“We were missing Morgan Grove and McKenzie Hunter because of other obligations, but it was fun to see some others step into that varsity role,” said Kreft.

The top golfer for the meet was Perham’s Rachel Nelson. She was followed by Taylor Filippini (43) and Mackenzie Strand (44), both of Pelican Rapids.

By Kris BeuckensThe Knights’ Track and Field teams, along with 17

other teams, competed at the tough Hank Emmel Invite last Thursday. The WCA boys finished in tenth place overall and the girls in eleventh. The weather conditions at the meet were the best they’ve seen so far this spring.

“In a meet with this many teams, there aren’t many points that separate the teams,” said Head Coach John VanKempen. “If our boys and girls could have each gotten ten more points, that would have put them in the top five or six. We’re still a little dinged up and, because of that, kept some of our kids out of events in which we could have scored. As the season winds down, we are hoping to get more points in some events where we haven’t yet performed to full potential.”

The girls 4x800 meter relay team of Abby Peterson, Abby VanKempen, Jen Froemming and Kylee Fernholz ran their best race of the year finishing in first place with a time of 10:15. “Kylee poured it on in the last leg to widen the winning margin,” said VanKempen.

The only other scoring runners for the day were Fro-emming in third place in the 400m, Abby VanKempen in fifth place in the mile, Froemming in third in the three mile, and Annabelle Haarstad in sixth in the shotput. Some of our sprinters, including Taylor Endreson, Megan McLain, Mary Olhoft, Alayna McLaughlin, and Taylin Schleicher, are getting closer to breaking into the top six as they’re improving with each meet.

The boys had John Olhoft in sixth place with his best time in the 800m run and Alex Toms in sixth place in the mile. Not too far behind Olhoft was Tyler Schill, finishing in a personal best time of 2:15.

By Kris BeuckensThe Knights’ Baseball team lost three Prairie

Conference games last week. In a double header played at a neutral site, the Knights dropped both games, 11-1 and 12-4, to Royalton last Thursday, and then fell, 13-1, to St. John’s Prep at Barrett on Friday.

Statistics and other game info was not made available for reporting purposes for last week’s games.

The Knights continue to look for their first win of the season. They are currently alone at the bottom of the Prairie Conference standings. LP-GE (7-1, 9-2), Browerville (6-1, 11-1), and St. John’s Prep (6-2, 8-2) are at the top of the conference heap.

The Knights (0-9) will try to get their first win of the season this week. They host Osakis on Monday night and Eagle Valley on Thursday night before travelling to Upsala/Swanville Area on Friday night.

The boys 4x100m relay team of Schack, Kashmark, Drew Peterson and Domenic Walz (subbing for the injured War-ren Oberg) placed fifth. “Domenic has been excellent for us this year,” said Coach VanKempen, “always willing to fill in

whenever needed. He’s one of those fearless kids who wants to try every event.”

“We’ll be seeing many of these same teams at our True Team meet on Tuesday. We’ll see if we can crack the top five with some of our injured kids back at full strength,” said Coach VanKempen.

It’s a lot more fun being around a team that is win-ning than one on a losing streak, and when they are losing, you need to watch what you say. In the Twins’ recent skid, I could notice the frustration in several usually very friendly voices. One night as Gardy greeted me before a game, I casually asked him, “How are you do-ing?” I meant this generically as a greeting. He looked at me sadly, and said slowly, “Doing the best that we can.”

Shortly after seeing Gardy, I saw GM Terry Ryan, and out of habit used the same greeting. He looked at me and said quickly: “Not good! We’re losing.”

I moved along, trying to not to offend anyone else. I saw hitting coach Joe Vavra and he said hello to me. I thought I’d offer something positive this time. I said, “Have a good game, put plen-ty of hits into the guy’s bats.” He stopped and pointed to a bat he was carrying. “Gordy, there’s been plenty of hits in our bats. If we didn’t give up so many runs we’d have a better chance.” This was a few days before the Angel no-hitter against the Twins. Joe walked away obviously frustrated.

Joe was right at that point, but bad pitching on a team leads to frustration by the offense, which can foster hitting slumps – es-

Totally frustrating seasonpecially when you’re facing good pitching. That seems to have been the Twin’s next crossroad.

From now on, if the Twins keep losing, I’ll keep my mouth shut at the park, and only nod.

Nice Threads!I recently heard on a

sports talk show that Danny Valencia was coming out with a line of clothing, so I thought I’d ask Danny if it’s true. He replied, “No, but someone has talked to me about the possibility of starting one, and I do like nice clothes.” He is very stylish in his dress, and I remember last year hearing him and Joe Pohlad, who is a Twins executive and the grandson of late owner Carl Pohlad -- and a fine dresser in his own right -- discussing what brands they were wearing and talking clothing stores.

I reminded him of how he was dressed during Twins Fest. I saw him bundled up for warmth, but not style. He laughed and said, “I’m a warm-climate Florida guy. If I do this, maybe I’ll only have summer clothes in my line.”

casionally filling in for Bert Blyleven in the FSN coverage of the Twins games. I asked partner Dick Bremer what it was like to work with Tom. “I enjoy it. He has an interesting perspective of the game and

unique way of explaining it.” One of the unusual

aspects of Tom Kelly doing the TV broadcast is seeing him on the field pre-game in a sport coat. I asked him if he enjoys filling in for Bert. “It’s all right once in a while. I sneak in there and do a game or two and try to help out -- give a little back to the Upper Midwest. The people here mean a lot to me. But that’s about my limit. A couple days every month or so – I’ll do a game or two and give a little back.”

I asked him if he ever misses managing. “No!” he said adamantly. But he softly added, “We miss the competition of the game and the camaraderie of the game, but that’s about it.”

More Hair TalkTrevor Plouffe was talk-

ing with me about my recent column where I suggested because of his long, thick hair, he endorse a shampoo and do commercials with his mom like Joe Mauer does. Trevor laughed and said, “I always pull off my hat in front of Joe and say, ‘Hey Joe, where’s my Head and Shoulders?’ But now I’m go-ing to say: ‘Hey Joe! Where’s my Head and Shoulders com-mercial deal?’ That would be great…and yes. I could get my mom involved.”

He then walked away with an ear-to-ear smile and his big hair bouncing.

On April 14 Elbow Lake Tae Kwon Do students participated in the 9th Annual Inner School Tournament put on by Master Cody Fisher, 5th Dan, from Fergus Falls Tae Kwon Do.

Gardy often tries to relax and blow off some steam by taking infi eld practice with the boys.

Tom Kelly and Dick Bremer make an interesting baseball announcing duo.

by Coach Blaine BarryThe Arrows traveled to Hancock on Thursday afternoon and lost for a second time

this season to the Owls. The score was tied at one apiece in the top of the third inning when the Owls, with 2 outs, went on to score three unearned runs in the bottom of the third on a costly error by the Arrows. Ashby then battled back with one run in both the fourth and sixth innings and had a chance to tie the game in the top of the seventh after Blake Ohren and Dylan Barry reached on walks with two outs and Jon Quernemoen up to bat. Jon hit a line drive to the shortstop that was caught to end the game. If the ball had been two inches higher, it would have been a game-tying hit, but luck just wasn't on our side today.

Arrows lose close matchup with the Owls

by coach Blaine BarryThe Ashby High School baseball team traveled to Evansville on Tuesday afternoon

to take on B-E and came up short losing 4-0. Dylan Barry pitched six solid innings giv-ing up only two hits and three unearned runs, while striking out eight and walking one.

Dylan did everything he could to keep us in the game, but we struggled to get any-thing going offensively, coming up with only three hits. Dan Schaffer did a great job on the mound for the Chargers, only giving up three hits and keeping the Arrow batters off balance throughout the game. Ashby’s three hits came from Gage Olson and Jon Quernemoen with doubles and Blake Ohren with a single.

Arrows played a nice game defensively with 3rd baseman, Tanner Langlie, making three outstanding plays.

Once again, we had a very strong pitching performance with Riley Mickelson giving up only three hits with two walks and seven strikeouts. Riley was in control throughout the game and kept the Owls guessing at the plate.

Ashby out hit the Owls seven to three, with Tanner Langlie and Morgan Wing getting two hits apiece, and Allard LaRue, Dylan Barry, and Quernemoen getting the other three hits. The guys keep improving with each game and with some work, they will see positive results as the season progresses.

FMC Corporation announces its “Stand and Be Heard Anthem Singing Contest,” an opportunity for students in agriculture to showcase their patriotic singing skills for a chance to win scholarship prizes. Any member of a national agricultural student organization is invited to submit an audition video singing the National Anthem. Participants have until June 15, 2012 to submit their entry online at <www.FMCcrop.com/contest>.

“FMC has a stake in farming’s future, and we are in-vested in providing opportunities that foster and grow our next generation of agricultural leaders,” said Bob Trogele, FMC North America Area Director. “We encourage youth to become advocates of our industry and to continue to make agriculture a part of their daily lives.”

Entrants of the “Stand and Be Heard Anthem Singing Contest” must be a member of a national ag-related stu-dent organization, such as FFA, 4-H or a student NAMA chapter, with plans to pursue a career in agriculture or agribusiness. Entries received between March 15 and June 15 will be posted to the contest webpage and a public online voting phase to determine the finalists begins on July 2. Anyone will be able to go online to <www.FMCcrop.com/contest> to vote to determine the top four finalists. Finalists will be announced on August 22.

Videotaped interviews and performances of the four finalists will then be aired on national agricultural TV with online voting to determine the grand prize winner. Voting for finalists will take place between September 24 and October 19. Three of the finalists will each receive a $5,000 college scholarship. The grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship. Winners will be announced on October 24.

“We’re looking forward to viewing the submissions from these talented students,” Trogele said. “It will be a great experience for our finalists to share their agricultural story and sing the National Anthem on national television. We hope these scholarships provide the opportunity to further our finalists’ educational endeavors.”

FMC Corporation has additional plans to invest in farming’s future with the anticipated EPA registration (EPA registration is currently pending) of two new her-bicides, Anthem TM and Anthem TM ATZ, in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Complete contest details are available online at <www.FMCcrop.com/contest>.

West Central Area students work hard in study hall — sometimes on their school work, but not just school work. A group of students got involved in a couple community service projects this spring, including Quilts of Valor and Dresses for Africa. The students sewed quilt blocks to assemble a quilt that was brought to Alexandria Community Vacuum and Sewing where it will be quilted and fi nished to send to a military hospital. The fabric came from the scrap basket in the Family and Consumer Science room. The dresses are made from pillowcases. The students had fun fashioning them into little sundresses and embellishing them with lace and colorful fancy stitching. Pictured are some of the proud workers: Danielle Diedrich, Re-becca Kirkwood, Dawn Anderson, Sheyenne Evavold, Taylin Schleicher, and Hannah Frisch.

STARWATCHSTMay is full of delights

May is full of delights, starting with a full moon on the 5th.

This moon, known to Algonquin Indians as the flower moon, milk moon or corn planting moon, rises only about two hours before the moment of perfect full-ness, which comes at 10:35 p.m. Not only that, but the moon will be at perigee—its closest approach to Earth in its orbit—only three minutes before fullness, so it will be not only round but big, although the size difference may well be im-perceptible.

Venus is busy this month taking a spectacu-lar plunge into the sun’s afterglow. Through a small telescope or even a pair of steady binoculars, you can see the planet’s crescent shape as it wanes away. On June 5, Venus will make a rare passage right across the face of the sun.

Mars and Saturn are front and center in the south after nightfall. Mars is higher and in the south-southwest. Just to the north-west of Mars is Regulus, the brightest star in Leo. Saturn, in the south-southeast, is also paired with a bright star; its companion, shin-

elk huntHunters have until Fri-

day, June 1, to apply for one of 23 elk licenses offered this year by the Minnesota Department of Natural Re-sources (DNR).

Elk licenses will be avail-able in the traditional Grygla area. Licenses also will be available in Kittson County, which offers its traditional zone and a new zone in the northeast. Maps of all three hunt zones are available on the DNR website at <www.mndnr.gov/hunting/elk>.

“A larger number of licenses are being offered this year to manage for the goal population levels identi-fied in our elk management plan,” said Erik Thorson, act-ing DNR big game program coordinator. “A conservative bulls-only hunt is also being offered for the first time this year in a new area of north-eastern Kittson County to target a population that also spends time in Manitoba. This limited hunt is designed to maintain this population’s wild behavior while still al-lowing the herd to grow.”

All applications must be filed electronically at any DNR license agent, the DNR License Center at 500 Lafayette Road in St. Paul, online at <www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense> or by telephone at (888) 665-4236. Hunters may apply individually or in parties of two. There is a non-refundable application fee of $10 per hunter.

Successful applicants will be notified by mail. An elk license costs $250. Each party will be authorized to harvest one elk. Applicants must choose one zone in which to apply; they cannot apply to hunt in more than one zone.

One license in the Grygla area and up to three in the Kittson County Central Elk Zone may be issued to quali-fied landowners in a pref-erential drawing. Licenses in the new Kittson County Northeast Elk Zone are only available through the general drawing this year. Unsuc-cessful landowner applica-tions will be added to the general drawing, from which the remaining applicants will be selected. Alternates will be selected in case successful parties opt not to purchase a license.

Three seasons will be conducted in this year’s elk

ing just below the planet, is Spica, in Virgo. High above Saturn and Spica is Arcturus, the brilliant beacon in Boo-tes, the herdsman.

On the 20th, we’re treat-ed to a partial eclipse of the sun. The show begins at ap-proximately 6:15 p.m., and the sun will set while still in a state of partial eclipse. A little more than half its surface will be covered by the moon. The usual warn-ings about solar eclipses apply: Do not look at the sun without proper protection. If you’re unsure—don’t look. The safest way to view a so-lar eclipse is with a pinhole camera—or on TV.

Whether partial or total, solar eclipses always occur at the time of a new moon, when the moon is gliding between Earth and the sun. Usually, the moon passes either north or south of the sun. But since the orbits of the sun and moon aren’t aligned, their paths cross; the intersections are called nodes. Solar eclipses happen when a new moon crosses a node. When a full moon does, we get a lunar eclipse.

If skies are dark, see if you can make out the star pattern called Three Leaps of the Gazelle. It comprises three evenly spaced pairs of stars between the bowl of the Big Dipper and the curved Sickle of stars outlining Leo’s head.

The second season in the Grygla and Kittson County Central Elk Zones runs from Saturday, Dec. 1, to Sunday, Dec. 9. The third season in just the Kittson County Central Elk Zones runs from Saturday, Dec. 15, to Sunday, Dec. 23.

During the first season, two either-sex licenses will be available in Grygla (Zone 10), one either-sex license and five antlerless licenses will be available in Kittson County Central (Zone 20), and two bull-only licenses will be available in Kittson County Northeast (Zone 30). In the second season, three antlerless licenses will be available in Grygla, while one either-sex license and four antlerless licenses will be available in Kittson County Central. In the third season, one either-sex license and four antlerless licenses will be available in Kittson County Central.

If no qualified landown-ers apply, all licenses will be drawn from the general pool of applicants. In Minnesota, elk hunts are considered once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nities, which means parties who choose to purchase a license will not be eligible to apply for future elk hunts.

DNR expects bull elk to be the preference of most hunters. To accommodate this, the first drawing will select hunters for each zone. A second drawing among se-lected hunters will determine what license a hunter may purchase and the season in which they can participate.

All successful applicants will be required to attend an orientation session prior to the hunt. Hunters also will be required to register their elk in their hunt area.

Some biological infor-mation relative to elk physi-cal condition will be collected at the check station. Elk will be tested for chronic wasting disease and bovine tubercu-losis as part of Minnesota’s wild cervid disease surveil-lance program.

Hunters should be aware that all zones contain pri-vate land, so permission to hunt these lands should be obtained prior to purchasing a license.

WEATHER SUMMARY

The mean temperature for April was 46.4°F, which is 2.9°F above the 126-year mean. January, February, and March mean tempera-tures were 10.5°F, 8.4°F, and 13.2°F above normal, respectively. The high temperature for April was

76°F on the 25th. The low temperature was 21°F on the 11th.

In April we had 130 corn GDD, about average.

Precipitation for the month totaled 2.54 inches, which is 0.26 inches above normal. We had a new daily record precipitation of 1.14 inches on the 16th, the previ-ous record was 0.85 inches in 1891. There was no snow in April so our total winter snowfall was 22.2 inches, compared to a normal winter snowfall of 39.5 inches.

No one should feel left out when talk turns – as it does this time of year – to plans for the big Minnesota fishing opener.

Any state resident who wants to participate in that annual rite of spring can now do so easily and for free at most Minnesota state parks and recreation areas.

Minnesota residents no longer need a license when shore-fishing at most lakes within Minnesota state parks. A change in state law, which went into effect in July 2009, made the free fishing possible. Other rules and regulations apply, such as the legal limit of fish that can be caught. Details, including a map showing where to find the free fishing opportunities, can be found online at <http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/fishing.html>.

State parks offer a fishing opener for everyone -

no license, no equipment, no experience necessary

It certainly was a soggy weekend for the state of Min-nesota. Some spots in southern Minnesota received two to three inches of rain. There was some flooding as some roads in southern Minnesota were under water Saturday night into Sunday morning.

With the cloud cover and rainfall Saturday night we weren’t able to see the “Supermoon” which was the closest full moon of the year. It was about 14% larger than the average full moon and 30% brighter. Unfortunately, we were not able to see it this year due to the sky conditions. Next year’s “Supermoon” will take place on June 23, 2013 and should be just as big. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate next year!

Wouldn’t you know it, drier air returned for most of the state on Monday as we headed back to work and school. There were some showers and isolated thunderstorms that tracked across far northern Minnesota on Monday.

We do have a chance of showers for Friday, but at this stage it looks like drier air will be with us for this upcom-ing weekend! Maybe I can actually finish some projects around the house this weekend!

Weather history: On this date in 1966 a cold front pushed across the Midwest and Minnesota residents woke-up to morning lows in the teens and twenties.

Weather fact: A heavy chicken house, sixteen by six-teen feet in area, was picked up by a tornado and wedged between two trees. The hens were found the next day sit-ting on their eggs in the chicken house, with no windows broken, as though nothing had happened.

Weather Today (Wednesday): Mostly sunny. High 65, Low 45. Winds: E 5-10 mph. Prec. None. Today’s sunrise: 5:55 a.m. Today’s sunset: 8:40 p.m. Normal High: 64, Normal Low: 43. High pressure will stay with us for the Midweek before rain chances return by late Thursday into Friday.

Thursday: Partly cloudy with a chance of showers late. High 73, Low 52. Winds:SE 10-15 mph. Prec. Trace-.20”.

Friday: Increasing cloudiness, chance of showers/isolated thunderstorms. High 61, Low 42. Winds: S/SW 10-15 mph. Prec..10”-40”.

Saturday: Partly cloudy, 20% chance of lingering rain early. High 63, Low 41. Winds: W/NW 10-15 mph. Prec. Trace-.10”.

Sunday: Partly to mostly sunny and mild. High 70, Low 51. Wind: SW 5-15 mph. Prec. None.

LETTERS FROM HAITIDOUG AND SUSAN RAKOCZY

Our experience with the Haitian judicial systemGreetings Family and

Friends,We are still in Fort

Pierce, Florida but have moved from the MFI trailer to the Holiday Inn Express. They give a special rate to MFI passengers and al-lowed us to keep our dog and cat with us. We have been resting and recovering from colds which followed us here from Haiti.

We are not “doing” a lot, but it has been so wonderful to just all be together in the room watching cartoons, eating yogurt, and drinking cocoa. Even the cat and dog have been relaxing (at least for the most part!). The cat loves the window ledge and sitting in the sun… the dog loves sleeping in the air conditioned room!

We have been keep-ing up with what has been happening back in Haiti…Les headed back home on Wednesday after working with Edrick and the team to complete a well. Next, the team began another well at the new National School in Plaine du Nord and they have also been out repairing pumps. The work keeps going…there is always something to do!

I know I haven’t written yet about our experiences with the Haitian judicial system, but quite honestly, I don’t know where to be-gin! The process is very different from what would happen in the States… actu-ally this whole experience has been very different than what would happen in the States, but it is what it is. I’ll give an overview of the events following the robbery.

By 3:00 a.m. people started arriving at the house to check on us. Basically, we just waited until morning. Doug went to teach and I continued to meet with friends who came to see us and pray with us. Around 12:00 or so, the judge, her scribe and a lawyer showed up. We told the judge that we did not want the lawyer to speak for us since basi-cally she never followed through on the last break-in from November and that is why the robbers were back on the street to break in again. It was the same judge we had spoken to the first time and she was quite upset that charges had never been followed up on by the lawyer. So…we spent the next 4+ hours go-

ing over what happened that night. We were interviewed, she would summarize, and then the scribe would write down (with pen and paper) what she said. When she interviewed our night watch-man, he would not say who he saw… even though we all knew he knew who it was. The judge was quite stern with him, but he would not say. Doug and I recognized one of the guys and were quite certain of another, but not positive. After this intense session, she wrote up the paper allowing the police to go search for the thieves and she left with the police. They immediately went to arrest the one guy we recognized… I don’t think he actually thought we would do anything since nothing had happened the last time. (Actually, we later found out that following the first robbery, the Casec or Sheriff of the area, had gone to the criminal’s family and asked for money to let him get away… which they gave him. So this bad guy just disappeared for a while until the other bad guy got out of jail for stealing a goat instead of for breaking into our house!) Anyway, he was taken to the local jail.

The next day, we went down to the police station in Cap Haitien to talk to the detectives. Long story short… we spent over four hours again going over the story and that was only interviewing me! They had to hand write everything and spent more time get-ting information on what was taken than on who the robbers were. It was pretty incredible. Later, after we got home, the Plaine du Nord police came by with the judge to have us identify the guy they had caught. He came in the back of an open pickup

truck with no restraints at all. There were only a couple of officers there.

The following day we were told to go to the “court house” in Plaine du Nord. We were also told to bring our other night watchman and his 15 year old son who was at the house the night of the robbery. Edrick was driving our car and, on the way to get them, there was a guy “working on the road” and basically trying to get people to give him money. We start-ing driving by and he slams our car on the side with his pick axe! Edrick immediately stopped and got out to find out what his problem was! Doug and I just sat in the car. I was thinking this is just so typical! The guy denied do-ing it, but everyone around knew he had. There was an off duty officer standing by who told Edrick he could make an arrest, but Edrick said no, since we already had too many other things going on right now. At first we thought he had hit the car because “the blans” didn’t give him money… but then we found out the guy knew Edrick and was mad at him because he wanted Edrick to give him a job and Edrick kept telling him he didn’t have a job to give him! So following this little diver-sion, we picked up Edrice and Edison and continued on to the courthouse.

Once we got there we waited about 20 minutes until the judge arrived and we all entered the building. It was about 10:45 a.m. The court house is an old cement block building approximate-ly 15’ x 30’. The ceiling is raised cement to allow for slight air circulation. The desk which the judge used was something that even a Good Will store would have refused to sell. In the front

of the room there was an area lifted about 4” which had chairs facing into the center of the room and then the lower level had chairs set up like a gallery. It was packed with people, most of them just curious as to why we, the blans, were there.

While we sat along one side, the robber came into the room… no restraints whatsoever… and sat down next to Edison (the 15 year old). There were two police officers, but quite honestly they were more interested in their phones than in watch-ing this guy. He sat directly across from us no more than 10 feet away. The room was pretty dark and there was no doubt in our minds that this was the same guy.

The judge brought the proceedings to order using a small bell. She is tough and appears quite competent and very self-assured. Whenever anyone in the courtroom would talk too much, she would ring the bell and send them out. People were packed into this small room and then all lined up around the only exit. Everything that was said was copied down… by hand… by both the judge and her scribe. It was an extremely labor intensive process.

Testimony began with Edrice standing before the judge telling how he should have been at the house but sent his son instead and he also talked about how he had been at the first robbery in November. Next Edison had to testify. You could tell he was scared to death. At first he said he didn’t recognize anyone and talked about being put in the shed. But then the judge talked to him about how important it was to tell the truth and that he was testifying before God. Edison began to cry and admitted he recognized the thief in the room who was literally sitting five feet from him. The courtroom gave this gasp as the magnitude of what Edison had just said sunk in. Evidently, this thug had gone to his house during the early morning hours after the break in and threatened

him if he said anything. Back in the courtroom, the thief did this whole act of raising his arms like “I am being so wronged!”

Once Edison was fin-ished the judge ordered a 20 minute recess. It was now around 1:30 p.m. and no one had had any water or food. We stepped out of the courtroom and everyone was hanging around outside. Edi-son was still clearly shaken, but we told him how proud we were of him to tell the truth, something our other night watchman still refused to do.

We got a bottle of water and then everyone moved back in to the courtroom. Next came my turn...the judge would ask a question and then I would answer. We went through the first robbery and then what had happened during this rob-bery. I explained where I had seen the guy before, etc... Doug did the same thing. It was amazing how much peace God gave to me while I was testifying. Hanania was translating for us so everyone knew what we were saying. Doug explained how the money that was stolen was going to be used to drill wells and repair pumps and the people in the court room began calling the guy a thief and were obviously disgusted that he would do this not so much to us, but to the community.

The bad guy then had a chance to defend himself. He stumbled his way around essentially saying that the first time it was his friend who had broken in but not him and he didn’t even try to deny the second time. The judge did not believe him for a second and so when he was finished, she looked at him… declared him a thief … and sent him to the Cap Haitien jail to await the next proceeding. He will be inter-rogated by the CAP police to try to find out who the other accomplices were. I don’t know if he will talk or not… he is pretty hardened. We got back home with Edrick and Hanania at 6:30 p.m.

Once we go back in to

Haiti on Tuesday, we will have to go through this pro-cess again in Cap Haitien. We would ask that you all pray for us. It is quite stressful. We know God is with us and He is giving us the strength to make it through this, but it is not easy. It is also difficult knowing that the other bad guys are still free. As one of my Bible School teachers used to say, “God doesn’t save us from things, but in things” though it is still a challenge.

We go back in to Haiti on May 8 and will move down to OMS. We will continue to have our Lifewater Haiti office in the duplex, but will actually live down the road about a half of a mile. OMS has been in Haiti since the 1950s and have several ministries including a clinic, a seminary, a Haitian school program, an agriculture project, and the radio station which broadcasts all over the Caribbean. Of course they also sponsor Cowman International School which is where Doug teaches. They have about 10 or 12 houses which are used for mis-sionaries or for teams who come in to Haiti to work on different projects including ours. They have graciously agreed to let us use one of those houses so we are very grateful. The kids are excited to be moving down there… especially Josh because his best buddy Jake lives there. They make quite a team! Julia will have some younger girls for her to do things with as well. It will be fun for her to have someone to do arts and crafts with. Our Jake has already found some Haitian kids who also live at OMS so he can practice soccer, his favorite thing! Although it will be a lot of work to move, we’ll feel much more secure with others around us.

Please continue to pray for our family. We appreciate all the support and concern you all have shown us. We will finish out the school year and then come back to the States mid-June for about four weeks to visit family and friends.

Blessings, Susan

Declan Johnson, son of John and Jennifer Johnson; and Kyle, Emily, and Hunter Mickelsen, children of Paul and Noelle Mickelsen, par-ticipated in the annual Piano Music Festival in Alexandria, March 2 and 3.

The festival is an an-nual nationwide event with 230 students involved in our district alone. The students learn and memo-rize two pieces and are judged on various aspects of their playing, receiving a score based on individual performance. They are ac-cumulating points towards a gold cup.

Kyle, Emily, Hunter, and Declan also played in the MMTA district piano contest held at the University of Minnesota Morris on Janu-ary 21. Over 3500 students across the state participated in the preliminary contest. The winners of that contest further prepare and perfect their performances for the final contest, held in mid-March in Minneapolis. Kyle and Hunter qualified for this level of competition.

These students are to be commended for their diligence in preparation and all that goes into these musi-cally rewarding events. De-clan, Kyle, Emily, and Hunter will be playing in the annual spring piano recital in Battle Lake on May 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Broberg Auditorium. The public is invited to at-tend this piano recital rep-resenting students of Roxie Klemetson of Dalton.

FROM THE ALEXANDRIA ECHO PRESS

By: Mark StodghillSome days Duluth police Sgt. Brad Wick walks from

his house to the Willard Munger bike trail and rips off a three- to five-mile run while reflecting on the night he had to shoot and kill a man.

“Even eight months later, you play it over,” Wick said. “Four or five times a week when it’s coming back to me, it’s good to really think about it and run it out.

“I’ve probably thought through that thing 1,000 times since then. Actually the way it happened is the way it needed to happen. The female was shot, but her life was saved. My partner, Steve Ring, didn’t get shot. It’s unfortunate that Mr. Butala was killed, but he gave me no choice in that.”

Wick made those comments Wednesday at the new police headquarters on Arlington Avenue after he received the Duluth Police Department’s highest honor — the Medal of Valor, which is awarded to an officer who has performed an act displaying exceptional courage and extraordinary heroism while facing imminent or potentially imminent peril without regard to personal risk.

Last week, the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association named Wick Officer of the Year for the heroism he displayed in Duluth last summer. Wick, 51, is a native of Ely and a 26-year veteran of the department. He supervises the K-9 unit.

On Aug. 27, Brian Butala reportedly robbed the Wal-greens store at 1301 E. Superior Street. Butala, 31, had 17 criminal cases filed against him, including five in the four months before the incident in which he lost his life. He had spent time in a correctional facility and told police that he didn’t want to return to one.

On Aug. 28, police spotted Butala’s vehicle and a chase ensued. The chase ended when the suspect’s vehicle crashed into a house at 102nd Avenue West and Dickson Street. The woman driving the vehicle and Butala ran to a nearby house on the 1400 block of 102nd Avenue West.

A female resident said she opened the door and was knocked to the floor. She said one of the intruders dis-charged a firearm causing a non-life-threatening bullet wound to her upper leg.

According to St. Louis County Attorney Mark Rubin’s report of the incident, Wick entered the residence and shouted “Police!” As he turned a corner to enter the home’s living room, he reportedly saw Butala point a gun toward him and the officer saw a muzzle flash. He returned the fire and then briefly ducked behind a plaster archway while Butala continued to shoot.

Wick stepped back into the room and fired a second volley. He said he believed Butala had been wounded when he heard him grunt and saw him begin to sink to his knees. But the suspect was still pointing his gun in Wick’s direction.

Wick ducked behind the archway again and yelled, “Drop your weapon!” Upon re-emerging, Wick said Butala was on his knees but still pointing his gun at him, and he fired a final volley of shots, causing the suspect to fall face-down.

The officer fired 12 shots from his Smith & Wesson Military and Police .40 caliber handgun. Butala fired three and had another loaded handgun in his possession. Butala later died from his injuries. Wick wasn’t injured.

In honoring Wick, Duluth police Lt. Jeff Kazel quoted from the comments Rubin made in September when he determined that Wick was justified in using deadly force. “It would be hard to imagine a case in which deadly force would be more justifiable,” Rubin said at the time. Rubin praised Wick for demonstrating “admirable judgment” and displaying “courage and valor of the highest order and tradition of law enforcement.”

Friends, relatives and fellow officers gave Wick a stand-ing ovation when he was presented his medal.

“To be honored by the people who you work with, with the highest level of award that we have … I’m in awe,” Wick said after the ceremony. “It was unfortunate circumstances that got me this award, but I’m very honored and proud of it.

“It’s one of those things that if you told me that I was ever in my career going to be in a shootout with somebody face-to-face, 10 feet apart from each other I would have said, ‘No way.’ But the training definitely kicked in. From returning fire, and going for cover, everything was in slow motion. I saw the muzzle flashes, but I have no audio of all of those gunshots.”

Wick said he briefly considered retiring after the shoot-ing. “Honestly now, I’m really happy where I’m at,” he said.

Duluth Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said Wick is a special member of his department in many ways.

“What makes Brad so great is that he is a class act,” Ramsay said. “He’s a very humble guy. He mentors our new cops. He helps people out. It’s great to see good guys be recognized.”

By Zach AndersonThe Pope County HRA/EDA Board met for just over

an hour on April 18 to discuss progress on the current projects that they have been working toward accomplishing.

HRA/EDA Executive Director Dick Dreher said he has gotten some feedback from the hotel study. Currently, it shows that Starbuck can support an unbranded hotel, such as Cobblestone Inn and Suites.

The problem Dreher said the board faces is that the study also said Glenwood can support a 50-unit branded hotel, such as a Sleep Inn, but if the Starbuck hotel is built first then the study said the market will not support the Glenwood hotel.

“The numbers show that if Starbuck builds an un-branded hotel first then there won’t be enough market left to do the branded hotel in Glenwood,” Dreher said. “This could mess up the market for a future hotel in Glenwood.”

Dreher did say that if Glenwood built a hotel first then Starbuck would be able to build a hotel and it would have enough market.

The board expressed concern that if they tried to proceed with construction of the Starbuck hotel then it could injure future building in Glenwood.

“I think it’s imperative that we get a hotel built on the Glenwood side,” Dreher said.

Dreher said there will be a small meeting on May 7 between a few County Board members, a few HRA/EDA members and some Glenwood City Commissioners to sit down and talk. The hope is the HRA/EDA can reach an agreement with the city of Glenwood to allow them to do projects in the city. If needed they will have another meet-ing with all the involved groups and members present.

“The better we can make things here, the more positive it will be for all the communities in the county,” Dreher said.

Dreher gave an update to the board about Habitat for Humanity. Dreher said that work on the Starbuck house is nearing completion. Dreher suggested that the board pay Habitat a total of $50,000 for the entire Starbuck project to cover the HRA/EDA half of the expenses. The board approved the payment.

For the Starbuck Senior Housing Project, Dreher and a couple HRA/EDA Board members planned to meet with current residents of Bay Meadows Wednesday night (April 18) to answer questions the residents might have about the Starbuck Senior Housing project.

United States Olympic wrestling team member Chas Betts has a lot of fond memories of visiting his grandpar-ents in Osakis as a kid.

His grandma, Nona Betts, still lives in Osakis. Betts said he had dreams of making an Olympic roster from the time he was a young kid.

“I’d say it probably started around the time I really got into Greco, which was probably 7th or 8th grade,” he said. “I took to that style so much more than folkstyle or freestyle. I still loved those styles, but Greco was just everything to me at that point.”

From that point on, Betts did everything in his power to excel in the Greco-Roman style. He went from winning junior nationals the summer after his senior year of high school to enrolling at Northern Michigan University to train Greco full time in the U.S. Olympic Education Center program.

After graduating in 2010, he moved to Colorado Springs because it offered him the opportunity to work at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. He traveled to Europe in 2011 for six weeks to learn from some of the best wrestlers in the world. All of that finally paid off when he won his 84KG/185-pound weight class at the U.S. Team Trials on April 21 to cement his spot on the Olympic team.

Just getting to the U.S. Team trials proved to be a battle. Every country has to qualify each weight class for the Olympics by finishing in the top five at qualifying tour-naments leading up to the games. The U.S. qualified just one weight class at the World Championships in Turkey last September.

That put a lot of pressure on guys like Betts, who was chosen to try to qualify his weight class for the Olympics at the Pan American Qualifying Tournament this past March. He was one of five guys who accomplished that feat for the U.S after he took home a silver medal.

That would have earned him a spot on the Olympics roster in a lot of countries. In the United States, he still had to win his weight class at the U.S. Team Trials in April. Not only that, but he had only a month to prepare himself for the biggest competition of his life.

“I think that was the hardest part to accept,” Betts said. “We’ve done all this work. We’ve qualified our weights, but I still have to go to Iowa City and beat all these other guys from America that in my mind didn’t do what we did. We put in the work. That was a tough thing to get over. You finally had to say, ‘Well, that’s how it works. Let’s do it.’ ”

Getting over that was as much mental as it was physi-cal. That’s where Betts feels he has matured the most from where he was as a wrestler a few years ago. Instead of questioning his abilities or why things are the way they are, he learned to focus on what he could do to give himself the best chance to succeed.

“There were times when it got really rough,” he said. “I never really seriously considered quitting or stepping away at all, but you always have those thoughts of, ‘I don’t know if I can do this.’ I think the biggest thing in the last two years that I’ve done is being able to block all that out and stop doing that. I think once you’re able to do that, you can take it a lot further once you stop asking yourself those questions.”

That mental toughness is what sets Olympians apart from a lot of other athletes. These guys train 10 times a week, every week and a lot of times things don’t go their way at tournaments. Being able to persevere and get past that is a big part of what makes them the best at what they do.

“At this level in our sport, everybody is right there with each other,” Betts said. “What separates us nine times out of 10 is who’s more mentally prepared. Especially for a tournament like in Iowa City for the Olympic Trials. Crazy things happen there and you have to be completely, 100 percent prepared for that. I think I did a good job getting ready mentally for that tournament.”

By: Peter PassiOne of Duluth’s largest technology employers is again

facing liens for unpaid tax bills.Since November of last year, 50 Below Sales & Market-

ing has amassed an additional $1.3 million in state tax liens, bringing its total tax debt to more than $1.6 million, according to documents on file at the St. Louis County Recorder’s Office.

While Dave Hogge, one of 50 Below’s principal partners, would not consent to a full on-the-record interview with the News Tribune on Thursday, he did state: “A payment plan is in place. And this will be resolved by August.”

50 Below designs and develops large-scale web ap-plications and marketing campaigns for corporate clients, hosting more than 100,000 retailer and agent/adviser web-sites and ecommerce stores, according to the company’s website. The 2012 BusinessNorth Directory of Business and Industry cites it as providing the equivalent of 250 full-time jobs, though Hogge said the firm’s employment numbers are lower now.

The company has experienced on-and-off tax trouble with the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service for more than a decade. Its current issues mainly involve unpaid withholding and unemployment insurance taxes. In early December, the News Tribune re-ported that 50 Below failed to pay some of its employees before Thanksgiving.

Before that time, 50 Below had been making significant progress chipping away at its tax debts. As of November 2011, when it paid off its last lien, the company had retired more than $3.2 million in outstanding taxes and fines. The unpaid tax lien balance stood at about $300,000 before the recent spate of claims.

Unless a lien is paid off, it can block a company’s sale or refinancing of property, according to Robyn Dwyer, director of collections for the Minnesota Department of Revenue. She said a lien can be attached not only to location-specific real property but personal property, as well.

Dwyer said she could not discuss any specific case, such as 50 Below’s, but she could speak in generalities.

“If we’re getting cooperation, there could be a pay-ment plan worked out, but it would have to be something reasonable,” she said, noting that her department can request financial documentation.

If the Department of Revenue concludes it is not re-ceiving sufficient cooperation from a debtor, Dwyer said it has a number of additional tools it can use, including holding a company’s officers personally liable or levying money from individual accounts.

Warning signs of a mini-stroke

May 9, 2012 B9Grant County Herald

Dear Savvy Senior,How can a person know

if they’ve had a stroke? My 70-year-old husband had a spell a few weeks ago where he suddenly felt dizzy for no apparent reason and had trouble talking and walking because his left side went numb, but it went away after a few minutes and he feels fine now.

Seem FineDear SeemsIt’s very possible that

your husband may have had a “mini-stroke” also known as a transient ischemic at-tack (TIA), and if he hasn’t already done so, he needs to see a doctor pronto.

Each year, more than a quarter-million Americans have a mini-stroke, but only about half of them realize what’s happening. That’s because the symptoms are usually fleeting (lasting only a few minutes, up to an hour or two), causing most people to ignore them or brush them off as no big deal. But anyone who has had a mini-stroke is 10 times more likely to have a full-blown stroke, which can cause long-term paralysis, impaired memory, loss of speech or vision, or even death.

A mini-stroke is caused by a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, and can be a warning sign that a major stroke may soon be coming. That’s why mini-strokes need to be treated like emergencies.

Who’s Vulnerable?A person is more likely

to suffer a TIA or stroke if they are overweight or inac-tive, have high blood pres-sure, elevated cholesterol, or diabetes. Other factors that boost the risks are age (over 60), smoking, heart disease, atrial fibrillation,

and having a family history of stroke. Men also have a greater risk for stroke than women, and African Ameri-cans and Hispanics are at higher risk than those of other races.

Warning SignsThe symptoms of a mini-

stroke are the same as those of a full-blown stroke, but can be subtle and short-lived, and they don’t leave any permanent damage. They include:

•Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg on one side of the body.

•Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or under-standing.

•Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

•Sudden trouble walk-ing, dizziness, loss of bal-ance or coordination.

•Sudden, severe head-ache with no known cause.

Anyone who is having any of these symptoms should call 911 immediately. Or, if you’ve had any of them and they went away, ask some one to drive you to the emergency room or nearby stroke center as soon as possible and tell them you may have had stroke.

Take This QuizMore than one-third

of mini-stroke suffers will eventually have a full-blown stroke, unless their underly-ing conditions are treated. If your husband did have a

mini-stroke and did not get medical treatment, this self-assessment quiz (known as the ABCD2 tool) can estimate his risk of having a major stroke in the very near future.

•Age: If over age 60 – 1 point.

•Blood pressure: If his systolic blood pressure (top number) is higher than 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) is higher than 90 – 1 point.

•Clinical features: If he had weakness on one side of his body during his mini-stroke – 2 points. If he had a speech disturbance without weakness – 1 point.

•Duration of symptoms: If his symptoms lasted for 10 minutes to an hour – 1 point. If they lasted an hour or longer – 2 points.

•Diabetes: If he has dia-betes – 1 point.

If his score is 3 or less, his risk of having a major stroke within a month of his TIA is 2 percent. A score of 4 or 5 indicates about an 8 percent risk for stroke within 30 days and a 10 percent risk within 90 days. And a score of 6 or 7 estimate a 16 per-cent chance of stroke in 30 days and around 20 percent within 90 days.

On April 13 many of the schools of nursing that serve the area came together to learn more about nurs-ing care of older adults, to network with other nursing students and faculty, and to engage in an interactive learning activity helping participants understand firsthand the challenges and rewards that can occur in caring for a geriatric patient.

The Students Investing in Nursing’s Future – Ge-riatrics event was held at PioneerCare in Fergus Falls, Minn. and hosted by the Uni-versity of Minnesota School of Nursing/Minnesota Hart-ford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, Central Minnesota Area Health Education Center (AHEC), and West Central Initiative. It was supported through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Partners Investing in Nurs-ing’s Future (PIN) program, awarded to West Central Initiative.

The long-term goal of the PIN program is to increase the number of reg-istered nurses who are com-petent in providing nursing care to elderly persons in a variety of institutional and community-based settings

Elaine Olson from Fergus Falls, left, was interviewed by Merrie Kaas, DNSc, RN, PMHCNS-BC in the topic of “Wisdom and Refl ections about Aging.”

The Corporation for National and Community Service is joining with organizations across the country to honor the power-ful impact of Senior Corps volunteers and encourage more Americans 55+ to serve their communities through the third annual Senior Corps Week, taking place May 7-11.

For more than four decades, Senior Corps vol-unteers have used their lifetime of skills and expe-rience to meet community needs. Today more than 330,000 volunteers age 55+ are serving through Senior Corps’ three programs – Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, and RSVP.

“At a time of increased need and declining re-sources, volunteers age 55 and over are stepping in to fill the gaps,” said Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Cor-poration for National and Community Service.

In addition to helping others, older volunteers are also helping themselves by living active, healthy lives through volunteering. A growing body of research points to mental and physi-cal health benefits associ-ated with volunteering, including lower mortality rates, increased strength and energy, decreased rates of depression, and fewer physical limitations. With nearly one in every five Americans projected to be age 60 or older by 2030, a great opportunity exists to engage older Americans in service to meet critical community needs while contributing to longer, healthier lives.

“As the leading edge of the boomer generation reaches the traditional re-tirement age of 65, nonprof-its and communities should be poised to take advantage of this extraordinary wave of human capital that has the potential to transform

our nation,” said Dr. Erwin Tan, Director of Senior Corps at the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Last year, 337,000 Se-nior Corps volunteers served 96.2 million hours, making a difference in the lives of more than 700,000 elderly who received assistance to remain independent in their homes; and more than 300,000 young people who received tutoring and men-toring that improved their academic performance, self-esteem, and overall social behavior.

Serving at-risk youth. Last year 27,900 Foster Grandparents served as tu-tors and mentors for more than 232,300 children and youth with special or excep-tional needs. A performance survey found that 81 percent of the children served by Foster Grandparents dem-onstrated improvements in academic performance; 90 percent demonstrated improved self-image; and 59 percent reported a reduction in risky behavior.

Supporting independent living. Senior Companions enable tens of thousands of frail and elderly adults to live independently in their own homes by transporting them to medical appointments, shopping for groceries, as-sisting with bills and paper-work, and offering respite care. Last year 13,600 Senior Companions provided more than 12.2 million hours of service for 60,940 clients.

Meeting critical com-munity needs. More than 296,000 RSVP volunteers assist survivors of natural disasters, tutor and mentor children, improve the en-vironment, conduct safety patrols, mobilize additional community volunteers, and provide business and techni-cal expertise to nonprofits. In many communities, RSVP is the only program matching older volunteers with service

in the Central AHEC region of Minnesota. The primary strategy to achieve this goal is to ensure that schools of nursing in the region have an intentional focus on geriatric nursing in their curriculum as well as faculty who have expertise in teaching geriat-ric nursing. A unique aspect of this strategy is that it will be done in partnership with long term care facilities.

Topics included “Care Provider Self-Care: Compas-sion Fatigue Management” led by Brad Skogen, Chaplain at Lake Region Healthcare in Fergus Falls; “In Their Shoes” a progressive role play led

by Vicki Teske, MS, GNP, BC, Assistant Professor, MSU-M; and “Collaborative Care for the Aging Patient” with a panel of healthcare professionals.

The evaluations report-ed a highlight for many of the attendees was the topic “Wisdom and Reflections about Aging” with Merrie Kaas, DNSc, RN, PMHCNS-BC, interviewing Elaine Ol-son from Fergus Falls.

opportunities. Last year RSVP volunteers provided 60 million hours of service through more than 65,000 organizations. These volun-teers provided mentoring, academic, and other service to more than 80,000 children and youth and helped more than 676,000 elderly to re-main in their homes as long as possible.

Supporting America’s veterans. Senior Corps vol-unteers, many of whom are themselves veterans, provide counseling and other support to veterans and their families. In 2012, Senior Corps will dedicate more than 35,000 volun-teer hours to our nation’s veterans. Currently Senior Corps volunteers serve at 84 Department of Veteran Affairs facilities nationwide, and Senior Corps presence in such facilities will expand under a recently announced partnership with the Depart-ment of Veterans’ Affairs.

According to data from the Corporation for National and Community Service, 18.7 million older adults – nearly a quarter of those 55 and older – contributed on aver-age more than three billion hours of service in their com-munities per year between 2008 and 2010. The yearly economic benefit of this service to the nation equals more than $64 billion.

With the theme “Mak-ing a Difference for Genera-tions,” Senior Corps Week highlights the powerful im-pact of 55+ volunteers and in-spires others to get involved. The initiative recognizes that service by older Americans benefits everyone – it helps volunteers by keeping them active, healthy, and engaged; it helps our communities to have millions more skilled volunteers; and it helps our nation by saving taxpayer dollars and strengthening civic participation.

VOLUNTEERS ARE GREATLY NEEDED! Come and volunteer at a fun place for just a couple hours dur-ing lunch time.

Nutrition Services, Inc. provides this service through a contract with the West Central Agency on Aging with funding from the Fed-eral Older American’s Act through the Minnesota Board on Aging.

More than 1 million people residing in more than 400,000 households in Minnesota rely on private wells as their source of drinking water. While wells can provide high quality drinking water, state health officials observe that most wells are rarely tested on a regular basis for things that can make consumers of the well water sick, such as bacteria, arsenic, or nitrate.

The Minnesota De-partment of Health (MDH) estimates that at any given time, as many as 25 percent of private wells in Minne-sota have detectable levels of total coliform bacteria, an indication that surface contamination has entered the well or water system.

MDH recommends that private wells be tested once a year for total coliform bac-teria, an indicator of bacte-rial contamination. Testing for nitrate is recommended every two to three years – more often if nitrate has been detected previously in

Certain messages need to be repeated several times

the well or if an infant under the age of six months will be consuming the water. In addition, MDH recommends that every well be tested for arsenic at least once.

Testing your well is up to you. Getting your well tested is a relatively simple process. Your local county health department may provide or arrange for test-ing services. Commercial (or private) laboratories provid-ing water testing services are usually listed in the Yellow Pages under “Laboratories – Testing.” You should check to make sure the laboratory is certified to perform tests that you want. The labora-tory will provide directions for collecting and submitting water samples for testing. The costs for analysis are usually in the range of $20 to $40 per test, depending on what is tested. More information on well testing can be found at: <http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/wells/waterquality/test.html>.

Central Minnesota Area Health Education Center Camps to Careers in Healthcare will be held on the University of Minnesota-Morris campus June 13-15, 2012.

This is an exciting opportunity for 2012-13 school year 10th – 12th grade students to explore and prepare for excit-ing, high-wage, high-demand careers in the health care field. Students can ‘try on’ careers through interactive, hands-on projects led by a variety of health care provider experts. Participants will also receive resources and guidance to take the next steps in their career development.

In addition, students will stay on campus for the two nights of camp, and get that “university” experience. There is a charge for each participant which includes dorm room, meals, and activities. The cost for this camp is subsidized by Central Minnesota Area Health Education Center. Students are required to arrange transportation to and from camp.

Space is limited. Priority registration deadline is May 15, 2012. Applications will be accepted beyond this date if space is still available. For further questions contact Regional Specialist Lori Larson at Central MN AHEC, 218-736-1690 or [email protected].

Thorson Memorial Library Notes

by Librarian Gail Supernois-Hedstrom

Generous donation

West Central MN Communities Action, Inc. is pleased to announce an Open House for JoAnn Boorman on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 from 4:00- 5:00 p.m. Please plan to stop by and see JoAnn’s fantastic exhibit!

It seems like just when your faith in humanity is tested, along comes a remarkable act that renews your belief in the innate goodness of people. We are so totally overwhelmed by the generous donation to the Friends of the Library from students in West Central Area Schools. Clearly the faculty, students, and parents have a keen sense of justice and want to insure that the library programs they have come to love and enjoy will be carried out as always. Saying thank you seems so inadequate for such an amazing act but please know that we are extending our most sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this wonderful donation.

Frequently people share with me quotes about books, libraries, and reading - most often they put a smile on my face or kind of rekindle my passion a bit for the mission at hand. It is important that people be reminded of the fact that libraries are an essential part of democracy. Ensur-ing that all people have equal access to information helps to even the playing field a little bit. While libraries have been providing this access to information for centuries, the entire scope of how this is done continues to evolve. Libraries help to bridge the digital divide that continues to grow. If you personally have access to a computer and the Internet, you understand the scope of what one can access online. Having said that, I also need to clarify that what is available online is less than 10% of what is available in print. Taking that a step further, a huge percentage of what is online is NOT reliable or credible. Often times when you conduct an online search the top results are paid for ads. You see, search engines make money by selling the ranking in which search results appear. That is why often if you search a medical condition, the first of many sites that appear are drug companies. It is also a practice that some sites deemed more reliable are actually paid for by businesses without that being obvious, so in the end, your results are going to be biased. I kind of got off track here but I hope you get the point. Access to information is important but access to reliable, accurate information that is not influenced by big business a.k.a. money, is essential.

On a recent, private tour of the Library of Congress, I was profoundly impacted by their dedication to preserving information and literature from throughout the world. It is this total understanding that thoughts, ideas, and literature from all over the world are vitally important. The Library of Congress mission statement reads, “The Library’s mission is to support the Congress in fulfilling its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people.” The understanding that Congress needs access to information from the past and present to make decisions and craft laws and write bills is refreshing. Furthermore, the Library of Congress’ collection is available to the public; to each and every one of us. We have actually interlibrary loaned in books from the Library of Congress for our local patrons.

There is just this amazing power in recognizing the value of knowledge. When you have a community that values and supports that access it is empowering for all of us. My heart always aches for the children who do not get taken to the library on a regular basis, and I feel a bit a pity for those who haven’t made library use a part of their normal routine. It is never too late to turn that around. It is absolutely free to visit the library and library cards are free and everything we check out is free. It is almost profound, we have free books.

How do we define our place? Can artists help us discover and redefine our sense of place? Delve into these questions this summer with the help of local artists! The Kaddatz Gallery in Fergus Falls has an amazing line-up of shows for this summer, all exploring different ideas of place and how we relate to it.

Fishing Opener. May 8 - July 7, Reception May 10, 5-8 p.m.

Fishing is an integral part of our Place here in Lake Country Minnesota. This exhibit features over 20 area artists, ranging in mediums from scrap metal to paintings to quilts. Many works in this show reflect on family out-ings or were inspired by fond memories, reminding us that Place is not only defined by our physical surroundings but also our memories and emotional attachments.

Fred Peterson: A Sense of Place: Recent Minnesota Landscapes. May 8 - July 7, Reception and Lecture May 31, 5-8 p.m.

Peterson taught painting and art history at the Univer-sity of Minnesota Morris from 1961 to 2001, he currently re-sides in Maryland but returns to Minnesota every year. He has exhibited extensively dur-ing his career and his work is

Improve your status overnight.

The Greeks have their Odyssey. Finland has its Kal-evala. And now, the Great Plains of America has “Songs From The Tall Grass.” A staged reading/concert version of the musical will be performed at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 20, at A Center for the Arts’ Fergus Theatre, downtown Fergus Falls.

Tickets can be purchased online, by phone, at our box office, or at the door. For tickets or more information about this and other upcoming events, contact AC4TA at 218-998-ARTS (2787) or visit <www.FergusArts.org>.

Because of a Minnesota State Arts Board Legacy Tour-ing Grant, A Center for the Arts is touring a staged read-ing and concert version of “Songs From The Tall Grass” featuring all local Fergus Falls talent! The performance in Fergus Falls will conclude the tour, which includes performances in Glenwood on Friday, May 18 and Bar-rett on Saturday, May 19. This activity is made possible in part by a grant provided by the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature from the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.

The cast includes David Stoddard, Rick Schara, Delaney Schara, Katie Strom, Dan Olson, Rebecca Thanel, Cameron McKenzie, John Hatling, Vinny Olmsted, Elizabeth Hatling, Anthony Miltich, Emily Stoddard and Brianna Loosbrock.

Music and lyrics are by Randy Hale (all lyrics writ-ten by Randy Hale and based on original materials from American prairie song books, circa 1862-1910. All music is by Randy Hale except “Home on the Range,” “Colorado Trail” and “Boll Weevil”). The book is by Michael Ross, Phoef Sutton, Emily Corey and Randy Hale. Band and choral arrangements are by David Pinto and Randy Hale. “Once Was A Pioneer” lyrics are by Adryan Russ and Randy Hale.

“Songs From The Tall Grass” is a musical that fol-lows a modern story within an historical journey; “Songs From The Tall Grass” is truly an epic poem of the prairie. Using a musical theater setting, “Songs From The Tall Grass” weaves lyrics from musical primers from the 1800s with original, modern-day music to create a feast for the contemporary ear. Wrapped around a story of discovery, “Songs From The Tall Grass” delivers real tales from the past that captivate audiences, enchant the senses, and stimulate thoughtful discussions about history, family, and our hopes for the future.

Winner of both the 2007 National Endowment for the Arts “American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius” grant as well as the 2005 National Endowment for the Arts “Challenge America” grant, in 2001, “Songs From The Tall Grass” fittingly made its world’s premiere at the historic Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC, the cornerstone of American history and culture.

‘Songs From the Tall Grass’ at AC4TA

included in private and public collections around the world.

In this series of work inspired by Glendalough State Park, Peterson looks at our intimate relation-ship to our landscapes and how that changes with the seasons, weather conditions, or a different perspective. He hopes to take the viewer on a journey: “The plat map of Girard Township may accurately designate each section and quarter sec-tion of land over which one travels, but these repeated instances when one notes the unique qualities of place transform the simple geography of the map into a personal journey through a landscape that has become one’s own.”

Deb Walwork: Para-dise. Eric Santwire: Faces and Places. July 10 - Au-gust 24, Reception July 12, 5-8 p.m.

This exhibition of photography will pres-ent two different ways of relating to Place. Through her photographs Wallwork explores our relationship to the landscape. With a playful and irreverent eye she asks us to consider the many contradictions that

exist in the rural experience. Santwire’s work juxtaposes images of people and places, and people in places, inves-tigating how “place” can change the way you see a person and vice versa.

Lucy Tokheim: Book-face: Portraits of People Reading Books. August 30 - September 29, Reception August 30, 5-7:30 p.m.

Places don’t have to be physical. In this exhibit

Tokheim explores how read-ers can be carried to a dif-ferent place through a book.

Stop in to see our perma-nent exhibition featuring the woodcuts of Charles Beck. Our exhibits are always free and open to the public!

Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 10-5, Thursday 10-8, and Saturday 10-3.
