Sweet Treats

By Joan Farnam Frozen chocolate-covered Belgian waffles on a stick. Do these sound delicious or what?

They are pretty wonderful, if a recent taste test at the Gunflint Mercantile is any indication. The frozen confection has a thick chocolate coating sprinkled with nuts (or coconut) over a crunchy waffle – and it is perched on a stick for easy eating.

Waffsicles, as owner Chelsea Lueck is calling them, are one of the newest confections to be offered at the Mercantile. She’ll also be making homemade orange creamsicles and fudgsicles, which, Lueck noted, will be a great alternative for summer ice cream lovers.

Yummy is probably the word that best describes all the homemade candies and confections that this upbeat young woman produces in her shop in downtown Grand Marais.

Chelsea Lueck dips a frozen Belgian waffle in dark chocolate to make her newest invention, waffsicles.

She keeps the shelves stocked with her homemade fudge, truffles and chocolate turtles, as well as other sweets, including commercially made retro sweet treats. Lueck also offers a variety of her homemade soup mixes (wild rice mushroom and curried coconut lentil are popular), as well as mixes for hot cocoa, beer bread and molasses cookies, to name a few.

Also handmade are a great selection of her feminine and colorful aprons, locally crafted jams and jellies as well as wool hats knit by her mother, Suzie Lueck.

Lueck’s parents still live in Danube, Minn., where Chelsea grew up. They run a waffle catering business there – they bring all the waffle irons, batters, syrups and butter to events like fundraisers and offer an all-youcan-eat waffle breakfast.

That’s where the original idea of waffsicles came from, she said. Her parents make them to give away to children. Now, everyone who visits her shop in Grand Marais can get one.

By Joan Farnam Sandra Updyke has been the postmaster at the Hovland Post Office ... forever.

Well, not exactly forever, but when she retires in June 1, Updyke will have worked at the post office for 41 years.

She started just after graduating from Cook County High School, working part-time, and eight years later Hovland Postmaster Sandra Updyke with her was named postmas- dog, Toby, who greets his favorite patrons every ter, a position she has day with a big doggy smile. held ever since.

In some ways, Updyke was just following family tradition. Her grandmother, Leona Schuppel Sundquist, was the postmaster in Hovland for years, and she hired her granddaughter for that part-time post.

“Nobody else signed up,” Updkye said. “I was living at home (in Big Bay) at the time.

I was 18.”

elsie immerses herself in lake superior every morning. so why didn’t she warm up to a bank?

The cold reality is banks are about profit not people. For over 50 years, our members have enjoyed better rates and fewer fees on typical financial products—and service that’s anything but. Plus, when you do come out ahead, you get the same slice of gooseberry pie as everyone else. Join today.

Because if you’re up here, you belong here.

Updyke was born in Cook County and can trace her ancestry back to one of the first settlers. Her grandfather, Clarence August Johnson, came to Cook County on The America from Sweden and homesteaded in Hovland in 1910.

So there’s no doubt about it – Updyke knows the history and the people who live here.

“We’ve always had characters from way back when,” she said. “We have a lot of diverse people – on-grid/off-grid, high income/low income. But when push comes to shove, everybody helps each other out.”

And the post office is the hub for everything.

In the process of picking up their mail or getting postage for a package, people talk about their lives, she said. Sometimes they even ask for advice or tell her about someone who is getting married, having a baby.

“I hear incredible stories,” Updyke said. “I could write a book, if that was a thing to do.

But I won’t. There are confidentiality issues.”

One of her favorite old-timers was Simon Erickson, who used to come in to get his Veteran’s check. “He knew it came in early, and he always tried to talk me into giving it to him,” she said. “He wanted to go to the Flute Reed (store) to get his beer and beans, you know?”

She remembers old-timers like commercial fisherman Helmer Aakvik, who would come in to pick up his mail occasionally. Usually his wife would pick it up, Updyke said, but whenever he came in, he had some interesting stories to tell.

The post office used to be in a store that is now Dusty Nelm’s garage, and then it moved to a single room in the house.

Updyke remembers days of lots of mail juggling as they tried to make do with the tiny space.

She said one year, someone decided to move back to Mesa, Ariz., and mail all their stuff.

When they delivered the boxes to the post office, they to be stored outside. “Luckily it wasn’t raining,” she said.

Everyone has heard of a letter arriving with no address, just a name or a place, and Updyke remembers helping a few items reach their proper home, thanks to her knowledge of the community.

One time a post card arrived addressed to WBL Hovland, and was so fi lled with notes that it was almost impossible to see the post mark or signature. But, she said, she thought she recognized the handwriting. When she finally figured out that it was sent from Pennsylvania, she remembered that a customer was in the East visiting family.

“It must belong to So & So,” she said to herself, and set the postcard aside. When the customer arrived, she asked if the postcard was meant for him by any chance. “Yes,” he said.

Mail delivered!

It’s been a good job, no doubt about that, Updyke said, adding that she will miss talking to the customers and participating in community affairs. On the other hand, it will be great to retire, too.

This month, she will be working hard to organized the Hovland Arts Festival, where she will also be exhibiting her photographic work.

After that?

“We’ll see,” she said. “I’ll figure out how to not have a scheduled life.”

EDA Housing Program

Keeps Homes in Safe Living Condition

By Shawn Perich

living there.

If a home is found to be a viable project, a scope of work is written and then bid on by local contractors.

Not long ago, an elderly Cook County couple were confronted with a leaking roof in the home they’d owned and lived in for 50 years. Since they were living on a fi xed income, they lacked money to make the necessary repairs. Fortunately, they were able to find financial assistance through the Housing Program coordinated by the Cook County /Grand Marais Economic Development Authority (EDA).

A home inspection found not only a leaking roof, but also draft y windows and mold problems. Using grant funding, the couple was able to get these issues addressed, meet handicapped accessibility standards and remain living in the house where they had spent the better part of their life.

“They are still able to live in their home,” says EDA Housing administrator Nancy Grabko. “When we finish a project like that, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished.”

Although assistance for homeowners has been available throughout the state for decades, the Cook County Housing Program was created in 2008. Its mission is to provide safe, decent, affordable housing opportunities to all residents in the county. A commercial property rehabilitation program was added this year, marking the first time such funding was available for Cook County businesses.

Funding from the program comes from state and federal agencies. The largest funding source is the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Small Cities Development Program (SCDP). Some federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is available through the

The Housing Program can help firsttime homeowners buy a home, too.

Northeastern Minnesota Housing Consortium. Other funding sources are available, including some support through the county levy. Since 2008, about $1.2 million has been spent on home rehabilitation, of which less than 7 percent went to program administration.

Applicants for home rehabilitation funding must own their own home and land, and meet federal income eligibility guidelines.

Eligible income applicants can get 100 percent deferred loans if they agree to continue living in the home for 10 years. Low interest loans are also available.

Applications for assistance are processed in the order in which they are received. When an applicant comes up for review and when they are determined to be eligible for the program, applicants then get a home inspection.

The work done on homes is rehabilitation, not remodeling. The inspector determines whether the improvements meet home quality standards and will make the home a better living environment so a family can continue

Grabko says a local workshop held in April, in partnership with the Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency was attended by eight prospective home buyers. Through the program, they can receive help with understanding the financial responsibility of home ownership, as well as help working with local realtors and lenders. Down payment assistance up to

Hanging Baskets Trees & Shrubs Native Plants Vegetables Flowers

$4,300 is available for qualified applicants.

Community surveys, including a look at poverty in the county, are also part of the program. A recent survey verified homelessness is a reality in Cook County. These surveys are used to provide information when applying for grants to fund the Housing Program.

While Cook County is often associated with expensive lake homes and well-heeled retirees, many people living and working here struggle to make ends meet. Grabko sees her work through the EDA Housing Program as a way to make their struggle a little easier.

“I’m an advocate,” she says. “Although securing funding has become more competative, the EDA is committed to serving the housing needs of county’s residents.”

For More Information To learn more about the EDA Housing Program and to apply for assistance, you can stop at the EDA office adjacent to the Grand Marais City Hall, log on to the Cook County EDA website at www.prosperitynorth.com or contact Nancy Grabko at 218-398-7626 (dngrabko@means.net).

Taconite Credit Benefit

County, Schools, Townships and Taxpayers

By Jim Boyd Minnesota Power’s Taconite Harbor coal-fired power plant may well be coming to the end of its long life. Pending Environmental Protection Agency emissions rules could make the plant too expensive to upgrade, an outcome the Minnesota environmental community fervently hopes will come to pass.

And a few weeks ago, the Minnesota Department of Commerce chimed in with its own recommendation that the plant be closed, on grounds that the power it produces is too expensive.

All of this causes extreme heartburn in Cook County, where almost everyone believes the end of the power plant means the end of substantial taconite tax relief for county property owners.

#*,&4 t 3&1"*34 t 3&/5"-4 t ."14 t "$$&4403*&4 t ,*5&4

But “almost everyone” is mistaken: An end to power production at Taconite Harbor should have no effect on taconite funds flowing into Cook County, says the Minnesota Department of Rev-

enue’s taconite tax expert. And, by the way, most of those funds are NOT for the property-tax relief everyone tends to think of when the topic turns to taconite and taxes.

For 2011, Cook County property-tax payers got $490,943 in taconite tax relief (frequently called “taconite homestead credit”). ISD 166 got $823,857. Cook County received $279,797. Lutsen Township received $13,227, Schroeder Township received $60,575 and Tofte Township got $8,093. Total: $1,676,492.

The money comes in numerous streams linked to numerous chapters in Minnesota Statutes. Unless you are Cook County Auditor/Treasurer Braidy Powers, who speaks statute-ese fluently, anyone tempted to research those statutes should resist: It is likely to stunt your growth, play havoc with your sleep and drive you to drink. But even Powers wasn’t absolutely certain of the effect closing the power plant would have on all of the taconite funding Cook County receives.

The best alternative is to consult Bob Wagstrom in Eveleth, the living, breathing expert on all things involving taconite taxes for the Minnesota Department of Revenue. Wagstrom says Cook County has no worries about future taconite payments: So long as

taconite is produced, all of the payments are guaranteed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 298.225.

The Legislature could always rewrite Chapter 298.225, but if it set out to do that, it would also run smack into opposition from a number of other counties, school districts and townships that get taconite tax payments long after taconite production in their areas ceased. In Itasca County, for example, Wagstrom says taconite payments still are made 25 years after Butler Taconite closed down.

Too, the person most likely to push a Chapter 298.225 rewrite that would be uncharitable to Cook County, Rep. Tom Rukavina, DFL-Virginia, announced his retirement from the Legislature at the end of the 2011 session.

In addition to the taconite property tax relief that goes directly to property owners, ISD 166 and Schroeder township receive substantial payments from the taconite railroad fund. The schools also receive taconite school fund payments at one rate, “regular” school fund payments at another and taconite school bond payments. The county gets “regular” taconite funding plus taconite railroad revenue. The townships get revenue from the taconite township fund, and Schroeder gets a small amount of “mining and concentration” funding. Wagstrom has no difficulty keeping them all straight; he may be the only one.

Most of the funding is tied to the level of taconite production and thus can go up or down annually. All of it comes from a $2.38 tax per ton of taconite produced.

Cook County Hospital knows what to do if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hookedâ&#x20AC;? on Fishing

By Ada Igoe

to take them home,â&#x20AC;? said Bridget Sobieck, director of nursing.

If you ever visit the Cook County North Shore Hospital Emergency Room, you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be looking around at the dĂŠcor.

But if you did, you might notice a unique collection of fishhooks tucked above a bookshelf fi lled with reference books in the supply corner.

The hooks have stopped going on the board, but they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped going into people.

The Cook County ER is equipped with a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;fish removalâ&#x20AC;? kit to treat this common injury. The ER saw its first fishhook patient of the season on opening day, Sobieck.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;fishhook board,â&#x20AC;? as the collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known, is actually a shadow box stuffed full of hooks of all shapes and sizes. At some point, each hook displayed in the box was lodged in a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose, cheek, eye or other body part. After emergency room personnel removed the hook, a yellow fish-shaped slip of paper with the name of the person and where the hook caught them was attached to the hook and the hook placed in the box.

The origins of the fishhook board are murky, but Dr. Bill Gallea is believed to have started the collection in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Cindy Donek, R.N., said the board was already well established when she began work at the hospital 29 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if or Gallea started it, but he certainly took the most hooks out of it to use,â&#x20AC;? said Donek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was an avid fisherman.â&#x20AC;?

Anymore, the fishhook board is just a piece of Cook County emergency room history.

The board hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been updated for about 20 years, Donek said.

Nowadays, fishhook patients are sent home with their hook and instructions on how to remove fishhooks, in case it happens again, she said.

The instructions outline the string method for removing fishhooks. With this method, a 20-inch loop of 30-pound test fishing line is looped around the embedded hook. Down- While anglers on staff at the hospital have pilfered some of the lures, the shadow box of "trophies" ward pressure is then applied to the shaft removed from unlucky anglers over the years remains on display in the emergency room. of the embedded hook while another hand holds both sides of the string loop and gives the loop a sharp jerk.

The method works quite well, said Donek, but if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the hook out or if the hook is lodged in a sensitive area, such as near the eye, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shame in heading into the ER. At the ER, not only will they remove the hook, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also clean the wound, give you a tetanus shot if you need one, and, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on a canoe trip with the hook in you for a few days, you may even be started on a round of antibiotics. Occasionally a hook is so embedded that patients are sent on to Duluth for surgery, said Sobieck.

Âť continued from page 14

For production year 2010, from which the 2011 payments were made, taconite companies paid a total of $72,441,708 in production taxes on slightly more than 30 million tons of taconite produced.

Not counting grant funding flowing through the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board, Cook County in 2011 received 2.3 percent of the taco-

nite production tax collected in 2010.

But that small percentage makes a big difference. The entire local tax levy for 2011 was $9,300,286, which means that taconite funds are equal to about 18 percent of what the county levies directly on taxpayers. Were taconite funding to go away, Cook County taxpayers either would see their own tax bills rise substantially or the services they receive from the county decline, also substantially.

The long and the short of it is that Cook County shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry: Whatever Minnesota Power decides to do with the power plant at Taconite Harbor may be interesting for many reasons, but loss of taconite revenue shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be one of them.
