A ROLE MODEL: ‘Addi is the type of athlete that every coach wants on their team.’ P13
Community prepares to honor vets
‘They don’t give up’ BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Ogilvie Lions track and field teams intend to build on their 2018 successes, as they count on experienced athletes to carry their momentum into the postseason. Seven Ogilvie athletes participated in last year’s Section 5A tournament. These included senior Lilly Lee, who took third place in the 3200 meter run; sophomore Alivia Sanborn, who competed in the 800m race; junior Olivia Hudoba in the 300m hurdles and pole vault; and sophomore Ethan Warren in the 110m and 300m hurdles. “That was our best showing in years,” said head coach Allan Ambrose. “I don’t know if we’ll send seven again, but we have some who definitely deserve to go on. Smaller schools are at a disadvantage and there’s a lot of stiff competition, but our athletes are doing very well and they don’t give up.” “It’s really nice to go to other meets, and hear from other coaches what a great bunch of boys and girls we have on our team.” Ambrose said that the Lions benefit from athletes with years of experience. “A lot of our upperclassmen started out in sixth grade, and are now maturing and coming into their own. Lilly is in the throwing events this spring; in the first week of May she set her best-ever performance in the shot put. Alivia has been doing tremendously all spring in the middle distances, and has switched over to the mile run for subsections. Olivia and Ethan have also done very well. Sophomore Colton Stucky surprised us by switching from the middle distances to sprints.” Ambrose plans to step down as track and field coach after this season. “It’s been a really good time. And we’ve got some real talent coming up among the younger athletes. They’re going to do great when they get up to varsity,” he said. The Lions’ subsection tournament takes place on Tuesday, May 21. The Section 5 A tournament begins on Wednesday, May 29 at St. John’s University in Collegeville, and the state tournament takes place on June 7-8 at Hamline University in St. Paul.

Cutting grass, planting flowers, painting and repair activities are in high gear at cemeteries as they prepare for Memorial Day. A Memorial Day service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 27 at the Oakwood Cemetery in Mora. The service is put on by the American Legion Post 201, and is also made possible through the efforts of the community, from businesses to individual volunteers coming together to honor the lives of those who have died serving their country. Memorial Day started after the Civil War, and was originally known as Decoration Day. After the war ended people began unofficially gathering during the springtime, saying prayers and decorating the graves of those who had lost their lives fighting in the Civil War. After World War I people began honoring the lives lost in any war, and by 1971 Memorial Day became a federal holiday. Al Skramstad, Mayor of Mora and American Legion leader, has been involved in preparing the grounds and organizing the Memorial Day event. He credits the community for putting everything together. The idea for a place to hold the Memorial Day event came from Betty Wilkins, a local Mora resident and Master Gardener. Mayor Skramstad said, “It was Betty’s idea to have a place to hold a Memorial Day event with a nice garden.” The idea was brought to Steve Ahlness, (who died in 2015), who was also a Mora resident and an American Legion member. In 2010 Steve made the idea happen by fundraising and organizing local businesses to help out with the construction of items like the pergola, and landscaping the grounds. People volunteered their time and equipment and Betty’s idea came to fruition. Planting and upkeep of the flower beds is done by the Town and Country Garden Club,

Mora library shifts into new activities, spaces, events BY MAC LUCKING NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
Over the last year, the community has witnessed the Mora Library undergoing changes – some substantial, and others more subtle. Since the re-establishment of the Mora Friends of the Library group almost a year ago, employees, volunteers, and the city have been hard at work implementing new ideas brought forth by both current librarian Katherine Jordan and the community itself. From additions to the library space itself to new program
offerings and activities, the library aims to serve the community in a plethora of ways – and this is only the beginning. On the physical level, the library was recently rearranged to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. To provide patrons that use mobility devices such as wheelchairs or walkers enough room to safely and comfortably browse, the shelves must be a certain distance apart. This overdue endeavor required cooperation on many fronts, including the library MAC LUCKING | TIMES

Students offer reminder: serving those under 21 is against the law
S
everal of Mora’s Above the Influence students and advisers recently went to North Country Liquor store and placed stickers on alcoholic products as a reminder that hosting or serving to anyone under the age of 21 is against the law. Those that choose to host and serve to under age minors may be criminally liable for underage drinking that takes place on your property. County Spring and sumAttorney mer typically bring us many reasons to Barb McFadden celebrate. Graduations, family reunions, weddings and other special events. Consuming or possessing alcohol while under the age of 21 is a violation of Minnesota law. However, usually for that violation to occur, a third party must also have broken a law. Some obvious offenders are adults
who buy alcohol for, or provide alcohol to, an underage person, or who loan their driver’s license or identification card to an underage person for the purpose of purchasing alcohol. Not as readily apparent is the adult who allows an underage person to possess or consume alcohol on his or her property. The Kanabec County Board of Commissioners and the City of Mora adopted the Social Host Ordinance with the intent of holding those adults responsible when they are aware of underage drinking on their property and allow it to occur. KANABEC COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 33 Social Host Ordinance; City of Mora Ordinance. It is the shared goal of the Office of the Kanabec County Attorney, Office of the Kanabec County Sheriff and the Substance Abuse Coalition of Kanabec County (SACK) to keep our youth and young adults, and all community members, safe as we enjoy this summer. BARB MCFADDEN is the Kanabec County Attorney.

Value, price aren’t the same thing
I
’m slowly becoming a bird person. It’s like real-life Pokemon collecting—I want to see them all and will use various feeders and food to attract as many as I can. I tend not to put food out this time of year because this here is black bear country and I would rather they stayed in the woods than venture into my yard. However, last weekend was so miserably cold, I felt bad for the birds and put out seed despite the bear risk. I watched as the birds flocked and I caught a glimpse of orange — an oriole! If she didn’t find anything tasty, she would move on. Orioles aren’t so easily satisfied by sunflower seeds, so I Editor dashed to the kitchen for a dish Kirsten Faurie and some jam. Grape jelly is my daughter’s ffavorite, it so it di didn’t feel right feeding what we had of it to the birds. I dug deeper and pulled out a jar of lingonberry jam. It’s bizarre. I paid a lot more for those lingonberries than I ever have for grapes, but price isn’t always an indicator of value. See, I bought the lingonberries for use in a traditional Swedish recipe that ended up not being very yummy. So the lingonberry jam sat in my fridge, getting older and older. Now, the cheap grape jelly had more value to me than the expensive jam. To the birds it went. I hope the orioles spread the word that the red house on the hill served the good stuff. THE INDIGO BUNTING My husband had no idea why I was so excited as I whisper-yelled at him, “Look-look-look, it’s an indigo bunting!” The first thing I did was take a picture and send it to my mother (mostly to rub it in her face). STAY FRESH I sure do love the renovation work being done on the bright blue house at the intersection of Union Street and East Maple Avenue in Mora. Driving by that home every day has given me a fresh look at my own house —which isn’t looking too fresh. The paint is chipping, a board or two of the siding and deck have started to rot. Overall, it’s due for some care. In addition to fresh paint, I also thought a bright white lattice for my honeysuckle to climb would be in order. It was so rainy and cold last weekend that the project to paint the unfinished wood lattice took over my dining room. It’s work and takes time, but I’m excited for the day I can mount it to the side of my freshly painted home. KIRSTEN FAURIE is the editor of the Kanabec County Times.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Public hearing notice on shoreland ordinance is misleading To the editor The Kanabec County Board of Commissioners will consider significant changes to the County’s Shoreland Ordinance at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday May 30, 2019 in the Kanabec County Jail Training Room. Some people were informed by letter of the County’s “Notice of Intent to Adopt Ordinance #5”, others may have noticed it in back of the Public Notices section of the paper. Either way, the notice is very misleading as written. Nowhere in the notice does it state “PUBLIC HEARING.” The heading: “Notice of Intent to Adopt Ordinance #5” misleads the reader to believe that the County Commissioners already plan to adopt the ordinance without further public input or discussion. The first sentence states: “Notice is hereby given, That the adoption of
the amended Ordinance #5 - Ordinance for Management of Shoreland Areas of Kanabec County, Minnesota and Land Use Map will be considered…” If the amended ordinance is still being considered, why not state the Board is considering adoption of the amended ordinance? The second sentence states “ . . . Commissioners will take formal action on adopting the amended Ordinance #5 . . . and update the official land use map.” By saying “will take formal action” there doesn’t appear to be any further consideration being given to public input or Board discussion. The third sentence states: “The Planning Commission recommended adoption of the amended Ordinance #5 at a public meeting held November 26, 2018 with the exception that the only commercial uses allowed be those already established at time of adoption.” The Planning Commission’s recommendation was based on a draft ordinance that has been
significantly changed since November 2018. The ordinance currently includes a lot of “mixed use” language, rather “commercial use” language. The “mixed use” language is not included in the Minnesota Shoreland Model Ordinance that the County Board claims to be following. Why does our county need this special language? The bottom line is that proposed changes to the shoreland ordinance reverse 27 years of county policy restricting expansion of planned unit developments. The past policy protected our fragile shorelands for future generations. After three years of public comments raised at Planning Commission and County Board meetings, our Commissioners do not appear to be inviting more comments. If you are concerned with the proposed changes to Ordinance No. 5, I encourage you to attend the public hearing. Bob Mayo Mora

HEARD ON THE STREET BY KIM LUECK-FOSS At the Many Faces of Vasaloppet Art Show, May 17, we asked the following question:
What does freedom look like?
Val Raivo Brook Park
Mik L Mike Lynch h Eagan
Brenda Lombard Ogilvie
Linda Rother Milaca
Clayton Berg Ogilvie
Rod Minnich Brunswick
It is equality for every living person, animal and the planet.
A smiling face because you are free.
Wide open spaces.
When each human has the right to make choices; artistic, political, health, locations, movements, speaking, religion, natural places and to chase your dreams.
People that enjoy themselves and are relaxed and not under stress.
History; a 12-year-old boy taking his .22 rifle, that he got for Christmas, to school for show and tell.
Let’s help seniors fight fraud
I
t all started a few years ago when a Duluth native received a seemingly innocent phone call asking questions about her family and retirement plan. After gaining her trust, the caller eventually convinced her to max out multiple credit cards, wire money from nearby US Senator banks, and mail Amy Klobuchar even $10,000 in cash. In just a few short days, she had been swindled out of $47,000, filed for bankruptcy, and was left with little hope of ever getting her money back. And she is not alone. Too many older Americans today are being victimized by schemes that are robbing them of their sense of secu-
rity—and often their entire life’s savings. Just last year, one in four seniors contacted by scammers sent them cash. Between 2017 and 2018, money lost to imposter fraud increased from $26 million to $41 million and, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently reported, seniors are five times more likely to report losing money from internet scams than non-seniors. The FTC received nearly 143,000 reports of tech support scams last year, including cases where scammers used computer pop-ups to contact seniors, installed spyware to steal their personal information, convinced them to provide remote access to their computers, or even posed as companies such as Microsoft or Apple. My grandpa was an iron ore miner who used to save his money in a coffee can, and the presence of these
lifetime savings are often the reason scammers target seniors. The schemes they use are constantly evolving, including fraudulent investment plans, prizes, sweepstakes, internet fraud, charity scams, predatory home lenders, telemarketing and mail fraud and Ponzi schemes. These scams aren’t just financially devastating to older Americans; they also can have a ripple effect that hurts generations to come. I read about one 82-year-old man with undiagnosed vascular dementia who received a call from someone claiming to be his grandchild and saying he had been arrested in a foreign country and needed money. In just one week, the grandfather had wired more than $100,000. Our seniors and their families deserve better. We can and must do more to protect our parents and grandparents from scammers who
try to cheat them out of their life’s savings. That’s why I introduced the Seniors Fraud Prevention Act with Senator Susan Collins, which will protect older Americans and make fighting these scams a priority. This bipartisan legislation would require the FTC to coordinate with other agencies to detect these schemes and strengthen the reporting system to ensure that complaints are handled quickly. In addition, the bill would require the FTC to provide seniors, their families, and their caregivers information about how to recognize scams and who to contact if they become a target. It is time to pass this legislation and ensure that seniors in Minnesota and across America are able to live their later years with dignity, security and the peace of mind that their hard-earned savings are safe.
Have a worthwhile goal? Stay focused BY THE AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
Life is full of challenges. Some big, some small, but all can dishearten us at times and make us feel overwhelmed and discouraged. While the goal of some challenge may be important to you, it can be easy to lose sight of that goal when things get in the way. Other responsibilities, a task’s difficulty, a lack of time or just the fear of failing, can all cause you to give up. Step one in taking on a challenge is clearly defining what it is that you want to accomplish. Identify and write down the goal you want to reach. It should be something specific, not a generality like “be a better person” or “be a happier person.” It might be to stop smoking, to learn a new language, to get that promotion at the office, or any of a thousand
other things that would actually make you healthier, happier or more content. What you write down should become your purpose, something that you are going to give priority in your life. This means redefining your overall priorities. It means not letting yourself be distracted by lesser goals that are going to stop or distract you from achieving what you really want to achieve. This may mean saying no sometimes or rearranging schedules to work toward your goal. The idea is to keep the focus on the thing you most want to achieve at this time. When your top goal is something large, your next step is to figure out the steps you need to take to finally get you to that goal. If an office promotion is what’s important to you, for example, maybe the first steps are doing small things to make yourself and your talents

more visible, or volunteering to take on new projects that will help lead you to that bigger goal. And, no, you don’t want to give up. It can be easy to want to stop trying when things get difficult. Some studies find that it might take eight attempts before someone is successful at stopping smoking. Losing weight also often takes multiple efforts before one succeeds. When you have a clear goal that you write down and keep focused on, then it’s easier to see that temptation to quit is just another obstacle in the way, and one that you can find ways to overcome.

Crop tops, other fashions re-trending
P
icture this: you’re browsing the aisles of Target or shopping on your favorite clothing website, and something of yesteryear catches your eye. You think, “Wait, didn’t I wear that when I was in high school?” or “I know I’ve seen my mom wearing that in family photos.” You’re not alone. I know I’ve been seeing fashion trends popping up that I Smilin’ remember people & Stylin’ wearing in 1998. This isn’t a new Brittany Skelly idea. Fashion has always been cyclical for centuries and will continue to be. It was even around in Napoleon’s day when his wife would wear ratty white dresses that called back to classical Rome and Greece. What is new, however, is the pace at which these retro revivals occur. Since the turn of the 20th century, fashion trends have seemed to make their way back every 30 years or so. For example, I remember in the early 00’s when giant bell bottom jeans, with a modern flair, were what most girls wanted to be wearing in the hallways of Mora High School. I’ve been seeing neon, fanny packs, acid washed jeans, crop tops and overalls: a big callback to the late 80’s/early 90’s. However, some trends seem to be recycling at a much faster rate, having only been seen about 10 or 15 years ago, such as plaid shirts, knee high socks and platform shoes (think of the movie Clueless). Which new old styles you want to embrace and which you want to rule out are entirely up to you. It’s all about what you enjoy and makes you most comfortable. If you are looking for a vintage gem to add to your collection, don’t forget to get thrifty and hit up the local secondhand stores or a relative’s closet.

Enjoy a taste of the tropics for breakfast Diet and exercise are integral parts of the formula for a healthy life. Though few people may look forward to giving up certain foods in favor of more nutritious diets, healthy, low-calorie foods don’t have to be boring and bland. Breakfast smoothies are a great way to maximize nutrient profiles and flavors to achieve a filling and fast meal. Smoothies that capitalize on tropical tastes rife with fiber can tame hunger and offer a jolt of energy to get you through the day. Such is the case with this recipe for “Fiber-Filled Banana Colada Smoothie” from Ellen Brown’s “Super Smoothies” (Crestline). This recipe offers fruits with wonderfully complementary flavors that are both high in fiber and rich in supercharged nutrients like potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C.
BANANA COLADA SMOOTHIE Yield: Four, 1-cup servings Ingredients: 1 cup light coconut milk 1 cup diced pineapple 1⁄3 cup lightly packed shredded unsweetened coconut 1⁄4 cup whey protein powder 2 tablespoons bee pollen 1⁄2 teaspoon pure rum extract 2 cups banana slices, frozen 2 tablespoons grated coconut for garnish Combine coconut milk, pineapple, coconut, whey protein powder, bee pollen, and rum extract in a blender or smoothie maker. Blend on high speed for 45 seconds, or until mixture is puréed and smooth. Add banana slices, and blend on high speed again until mixture is smooth. Serve immediately, garnished with grated coconut, if desired.
CHANGE: Library team stirs up activities FROM PAGE 1
to set a date on which the building would not be open to the public, and the city to provide the manpower required to move the shelves to their new, ADA-compliant positions. The result was a more open, comfortable space in which patrons with or without mobility devices can navigate the stacks in search of their favorite subject or author. Other small additions and cosmetic changes include things like several pieces of new furniture: several rolling office chairs, an eye-catching armchair for toddler story time and a Keurig-brand coffeemaker. Other offerings have included a basket of donated winter weather gear for anyone who needs it, a colorful bucket of donated healthy snacks for hungry kids and adults and one-on-one technology consultations for patrons seeking help in anything from learning the ropes of the world wide web to navigating the waters of the newest smartphone, tablet or laptop. An uptick in activities for children, teenagers and adults can also be noted. The past year’s offerings have included author visits, a do-it-yourself spa night, cookie decorating for teens, candy catapults, monthly board game nights, annual STEM activities, macramé, live music and so much more.

hold for the Mora Public Library? In the short-term, the annual Summer Reading Program begins on Tuesday, May 28. This year’s theme, ‘A Universe of Stories,’ emphasizes outer space and science, along with coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing. Activities will include events like ‘Astronaut Training’ in which children will go through a series of activities to test if they have the mettle to become an astronaut and, a ‘Moon Landing Party’ in which guests will dress up to party like it’s 1969 and relive the excitement of watching the lunar landing as it happened. Other summer events will include a wire-wrapped jewelry workshop, do-it-yourself lemon candles and a stuffed animal sleepover where chil-
dren can drop off their cuddly companions for them to have an overnight adventure in the library. As far as the further future is concerned, librarian Katherine Jordan and the Mora Friends of the Library have been hard at work planning for a revamp of both the adult and teen areas of the library. This process, however, does offer its own unique challenges. Funding, of course, being the foremost issue, while other issues are considering what would be inviting and appealing to patrons in a space, and balancing which area is redone first to minimize intrusion of adults into the teen space and vice versa. Other future endeavors teased by Jordan were things like a series of autumn events on dinosaurs, a possible Halloween costume exchange event and even, if everything falls into place, an escape room event at the library. One thing is for sure, though: due to the positive feedback from library patrons and the community, this new stream of events and activities will not be letting up any time soon. For any further information on events, visit the library, or view the online events calendar at http://ecrl.evanced. info/signup/Calendar.

Mustangs overcome setbacks as postseason nears BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Mora Mustangs baseball team weathered key injuries this season, leading to players taking on unfamiliar positions. With playoffs a week away, the team intends to capture a strong postseason spot. “We’re playing really hard, and our attitude is very good,” said head coach Jayson Pautzke. “The postseason is a new season, and you never know what’s going to happen. So we’re going to go out there and keep working to win games.” After 16 games the Mustangs hold a 6-10 record, fifth place in both Section 7 AA and the Granite Ridge Conference. Last season the team finished second in 7 AA Subsection 1 and fifth in the GRC, and made a deep run in Section playoffs. “We’ve suffered season-ending injuries to a couple of our starters,” Pautzke said, “and it’s set us back. Sophomore Ben Wright broke a finger. He was our only left-handed pitcher, was playing well in the outfield, and kept finding ways to get on base. Junior Kolton Brodal, another pitcher, also broke a finger early in the season.” “We have talented players, and we’ve had to plug them in at positions where they aren’t the most comfortable. We’ve played 16 games and had eight outdoor practices. It’s hard to develop skills at a new position without much practice time.” Mora wraps up the regular season with home games against Moose Lake-Willow River and Zimmerman, and

road games against Becker and Crosby-Ironton. The team defeated both Becker and Zimmerman earlier this season, and hasn’t yet played the other two teams. “The good news is, all four of these are winnable games for us,” Pautzke said. “We’re staying positive, knowing that things will turn around and get better. We played very well against Esko on May 17, but had just one bad inning that worked against us.” Section playoffs begin on Tuesday, May 28, and the state tournament starts on Thursday, June 13. “Duluth-Marshall
is very strong in our section, but we and a handful of other teams could vie for a good playoff spot,” said Pautzke. “Most teams will play three or four games this week like us, and all the teams are very close.” “Each team’s strength of schedule figures into the rankings, and ours is as good as any team in the section. We’re likely to end up anywhere from fourth to seventh place. Once we get past the first postseason game, we’ll be able to breathe a little easier.” MICHELLE PAUTZKE | TIMES

2018 was memorable for the Ogilvie Lions baseball team, as they won their first playoff game in a decade. The entire team has returned for 2019, and their experience and dedication has led to one of their strongest seasons in years. “This has been a very good year,” said head coach Benji Besser. “It’s a great turnaround for Ogilvie baseball. Lots of our games have been very close; I tell the guys that, considering the ‘woulda-coulda-shouldas’ in those games, we could be at 12-2 right now.” “Braham and Hinckley-Finlayson will be seeded ahead of us, but they didn’t scare us. Nobody scares us.” After 14 games the Lions hold a 7-7 record, third place in Section 5 A East and fourth in the Great River Conference. The team finished last year at 2-14, sixth place in the subsection and eighth in the conference. They defeated longtime foe Isle in the first postseason round, then lost to eventual Section champion Hinckley-Finlayson. The turnaround, Besser said, comes from the players’ outlook and leadership. “We’ve had guys who’ve played together for many years. I’ve told them how, if they all buy into the process, we have a chance to win the GRC this year. I’m not going to tell the guys that unless I believe it,” he said. “The seniors have stepped up and said that they want to go out on a high note. So during long days of indoor practice we worked on the fundamentals, and soon the guys started to buy in.” Besser said that mental toughness is the Lions’ biggest challenge right now. “Many of our losses were due to mental mistakes; players can get down on themselves. But that’s the difference between winning the conference and finishing in fourth place,” he said. “Blake Heins and Jake Felde, both seniors, have been the most focused and are the leaders on the team. Juniors Brian Nelson and Jacksen Pettit have played since eighth grade. Sophomore Wyatt Heins and freshmen Jon Brasch and Caleb Felde will be great contributors.” “I wish I had another year with all of these players. It would be unbelievable, what we could do.” The Lions wrap up the regular season with games against St. John’s Prep and East Central. Subsection playoffs begin on Thursday, May 23. “If I look at the rankings right now, we should play either Onamia or East Central on Thursday,” said Besser. “If we can put everything together and be mentally tough, we’ll be confident. The enthusiasm picks up when you get some Ws on the board.” Section 5 A playoffs start on Monday, June 3, and the state tournament begins on Thursday, June 13.
From the Coach: “Addi is the type of athlete that every coach wants on their team; she’s posit positive, hard working and a great role model for other players. I’ve enjoyed having her on my team since she was in seventh grade.” Joy Whitbred KIM LUECK-FOSS | TIMES

bought a house next to the railroad tracks. Aren’t you worried about the noise? The real estate guy said I wouldn’t notice the trains after a couple of nights. So, I stayed in a hotel the first few Al’s World nights I owned the Al Batt house.
BR DRIVING BY BRUCE’S DRIVE I have a wonderful neighbor named Bruce. Whenever I pass his driveway, thoughts occur to me, such as: I’d gone a few days without thinking about oil. That meant it was time to change the oil in my car. I was driving outside Wadena, Minnesota, on May 19. It was 38 degrees and the rain poured down. I saw a sign at a business that read, “Are U ready for spring?” I was. I came out of a hotel on a nice day in St. Cloud. A man was outside having a cigarette. A slave to nicotine. “Beautiful day,” I said. “It’s
a perfect day for smoking,” he said. I spoke in Great Bend, Kansas. I talked to a man from New Mexico there, who told me that his visit to Kansas made it the 50th state he had visited. He’d run the table. “Do you know how hard it is to travel to 49 states and not visit Kansas?” he asked. I didn’t know. SHOW-AND-TELL My wife and I are fortunate to be invited to a number of graduation parties for young people who will continue to edit their lives.

one day they would choose to live over again. Then listen to the answer. NATURE NOTES I had the blues. I was happy to have them. There were six male indigo buntings at the feeders. It made me want to hug a cardinal. There were female buntings, too, lovely brown birds some might call LBJs--Little Brown Jobs. The morning’s birdsong was a flawless symphony. An egret flew over. As egrets go, it was a great one. Bobolinks sang a song that has been described as “a
tinkle of fairy music, like the strains of an old Greek harp.” Bobolinks wear black tuxedos with the wrong side at the front. Most birds with contrasting plumages are light underneath and dark on top. Not bobolinks. I spotted turkey vultures in a dead tree. That seemed appropriate.

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS May 21, 2019 The following Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation officer weekly reports explain the activities performed by Division of Enforcement personnel in protecting Minnesota’s natural resources through effective law enforcement and education. Provided by the MN DNR on May 21, 2019. Milaca: Conservation Officer Nathan Benkofske reports checking anglers on area lakes and Mille Lacs during the past week. Enforcement violations consisted of no licenses, overlimits, extra lines and keeping bass out of season. The main boating violation was not enough life jackets. Benkofske helped respond to a call of bears inside a house in Kanabec County and assisted Mille Lacs County with the apprehension of a wanted person who climbed a tree to avoid detection before being arrested.
Mora: Conservation Officer Mike Krauel spent the week checking anglers and working boat and water safety. Anglers were finding success on some of the area lakes even with the rain and snow coming down. Enforcement action was taken for no angling license, extra line, overlimit, possession of marijuana, no navigation lights after sunset and several PFD violations. Cambridge: Conservation Officer Angela Londgren took complaints of nuisance animals, public water violations, ATVs operating in wetlands and conducted commercial inspections. Londgren also spoke to fifth- and sixth-grade students at their annual field day, attended a lake association meeting and took enforcement action on angling and boating activity.
Pancake Breakfast
Hinckley: Conservation Officer Bret Grundmeier continued to spend time on area lakes and rivers checking anglers. River banks along the Kettle, St. Croix and Snake rivers were very busy with shore anglers pursuing catfish, walleyes and suckers. Time was also spent teaching boating safety to fifth-graders during the annual Pokegama Lake Freshwater Fair. The Fair, which was sponsored by the Pokegama Lake Association, also included classes about water quality, forestry and other natural resource topics. Hundreds of fifth-graders from several different schools attended the day-long event.

Eliminate distractions to sense emergencies
Q
When on a freeway, and an emergency vehicle is approaching from the rear but not the same lane, is it the law to pull over and stop? Stopping on the freeway can be dangerous. Answer: Minnesota state laws says that upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle the driver shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to Ask A and as close as possible to the right-hand Trooper edge or curb of the Neil Dickenson highway clear of any intersection, and shall t and d remain i in this position until stop the authorized emergency vehicle has passed. If on a one-way roadway, the driver shall drive to the closest edge or curb and stop. Every situation varies when emergency vehicles are responding to an incident. How much room is there to yield and move over, and is there enough time for this to be done in a safe manner? In my experience responding to emergencies, I have seen drivers that have not seen or heard me behind them, and this has created a very dangerous situation. Some drivers notice my presence too late and apply the brakes very hard at freeway speeds. Other dangerous situations that I see are lane changes as I am about to pass a vehicle on the left. I talk about driving with 100% of your attention on the task of driving. By eliminating distractions, you will be able to see and hear an approaching emergency vehicle and other potential dangerous situations that you may encounter. If you find yourself with an emergency vehicle approaching you very quickly, safely slow down, move over as soon as you are able and yield to them. Also, watch out for the vehicles in front of you in the event that they brake abruptly. Law enforcement understands that there are some situations where motorists are not able to come to a complete stop, like on a freeway, so officer discretion will come into play.

Community theater offers student scholarships BY BECKY SCHUELLER PINE CITY HERITAGE PLAYERS
The Pine City Heritage Players Community Theater is expanding scholarship opportunities for students in the east central Minnesota area. Two different types of scholarships will be available: Enrichment opportunities for grades 5-12 and Performing Arts Educational opportunity for college-bound students. Both scholarships will provide a unique opportunity for community members to explore additional ways to expand their skills in the performing arts or pursue a degree in theater.
The enrichment scholarship is available for any student grades 5-12 interested in taking part in a performing arts enrichment program. A few examples might include: an improv workshop, week long camps for theater, dance or vocal performing. This scholarship will be available year-round for requests. Students should submit scholarship requests with an eight week window prior to the start of the event for adequate processing time. The second opportunity is a Performing Arts Educational scholarship, offered for students that will be pursuing a major or minor in the performing arts. The
complete set of guidelines regarding this scholarship can be found on the Heritage Players website at www.pinecityheritageplayers.com. The deadline to apply for the 2019 scholarship will be Aug. 1. Both of these scholarships are made possible through the generosity of the Lindstrom family and fundraising during the “Songs of the Stage” events hosted throughout the year. In December 2017, the Heritage Players and the Pine City Community lost a treasured member. Harv Lindstrom lived his life with a servant’s heart and the Heritage Players were honored to have him serve
on their Board of Directors. His family chose to honor his memory by donating memorial gifts to the Heritage Players, who decided to use those gifts to create the “Harv Lindstrom Memorial Scholarship.” The Pine City Heritage Players’ mission is to enrich, educate and entertain our community by providing a superior theater experience. The non-profit community organization serves the east central Minnesota area with participation from Pine City, Rush City, North Branch, Cambridge, Braham, Mora, Hinckley and Grantsburg, Wisconsin communities.

Dowds and wife arrived here from Minneapolis last week and will settle in Mora. Mr. Dowds is a brother of Mrs. James Golden. The Board of Health made a tour of inspection of the village this week. They found a great improvement over last year. The board is ready at all times to listen to any complaints that may be made. The small shipper is made to feel the oppressive heal of great corporations like the Great Northern. When they make a charge of $4 a thousand for hauling lumber twenty miles it is enough to make the poor country editor howl. On June 22, 23, and 24, the Swedish Mission people will hold a big convention at the M. E. church in Mora. Eminent preachers from Minneapolis and other cities will attend, and the meetings promise to be both entertaining and beneficial. We overheard a man remark the other day that “while the board of health are on an inspection tour they should visit the cigar stores and place their mark of condemnation upon the poisonous ‘cabbage leaf’ that makes the ambient air obnoxious at times.” 100 YEARS AGO (1919) “High Water Mark; Concrete Shaft To Be Erected:” A concrete shaft will be erected in the near future in the street at the Southwest corner of the new addition to the cemetery to replace the Sawlog placed there at the time of the high water in June 1898, when the bridge was carried out. Money has been subscribed by a number of the older settlers, but there remains a shortage of funds to complete the work and parties desiring to subscribe a small amount to be used for this purpose may do so at this time and the donation will be appreciated. An inscription will be placed on the shaft with the words “High Water Mark” June 3rd, 1898. The list may be found at the office of the Peterson Mercantile Company.

75 YEARS AGO (1944) “Fire Destroys Feed Mill At Quamba:” Fire destroyed the feed store and mill of Carl Johnson at Quamba last Thursday noon. The fire started in the back room where feed was being ground. The operator left the building temporarily and upon his return found the whole room in flames. It is assumed that the fire started from a short circuit in the motor. The room was full of dust which caused a rapid spread of the flames. The Mora fire department was called, which with the assistance of local volunteers, saved the adjoining garage building, also owned by Mr. Johnson. The loss is estimated at $2,000 on feed and flour; machinery, $1,500, and the building in addition. Only $1,000 insurance was carried. Additions to the building had been made and more machinery bought from time to time but this was not protected with increased insurance. “Famous Wolf Hunter Visits Friend Here:” Wilbur White, who is operating the old Chamberlain farm near Ann Lake as a sheep ranch, had a surprise visit from his old friend, Hardy Anderson, of Wolf Point, Montana, the other day. He came by plane, landing in a field on the farm. He had made a previous visit so was familiar with the location. Anderson is a wolf hunter on the Montana plains. He runs down wolves with his plane and shoots them with a shotgun from the plane. He has killed 4,500 wolves in that manner. He had flown a friend to Superior and took advantage of the opportunity to call on his friend White enroute to Minneapolis. 50 YEARS AGO (1969) “Gerald Anderson Achieves Almost Perfect Record:” Gerald Anderson, a member of Mora’s 1969 graduating class, has the distinction of perfect attendance throughout his high school years. He not only achieved 100 percent attendance there but actually missed only one day of school during the entire 12 years; he missed one day while in first grade. Gerald is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Vernon Anderson of Comfort township. Last December his mother was seriously injured in an automobile accident which kept her confined to Cambridge hospital until just recently. Gerald not only managed to get ready for school, he took charge of a sister, Debbie, 11, and brother, Ronald, 10, and had them ready for school on time, too. “Klobuchar Is Speaker at Quill And Scroll Banquet:” The annual Quill and Scroll banquet was held Tuesday evening, May 20, at the Mora Country club with about 45 people attending.

Staff members of the Mirror and Mustang received pins. “Mora Track Star Sets Two District Hurdle Records:” Mora track star Phil Hallstrom ran true to form Friday in the District 16 meet at Coon Rapids by setting two new district records. The slim senior chopped three-tenths of a second off the high hurdles as the old meet record of 14.8 seconds fell by the wayside. Hallstrom whipped over the 180low hurdles in 19.7, a tenth faster than the old district record. According to Mora prep coach Dave Forness, Hallstrom is probably the finest track star that Mora has produced in years. He has yet to go through the regional at Macalester Wednesday and his coach will probably not be able to be with him since he had to report to Camp McCoy for two weeks service training. 25 YEARS AGO (1994) “Commissioners put hospital plan decisions on hold; Concerned about union negotiations, Medicare reimbursements, and Mora physicians’ relationship with hospital:” After some county commissioners cited numerous calls from hospital employees involved in union negotiations, the Kanabec County Board of Commissioners last week put a decision on hold regarding a resolution to proceed with hospital renovations and issue financing bonds.

Of all the voices vying for our attention, only one matters
W
hose voice are you listening to? In 1 Kings 16-19, a king named Ahab actively promoted and worshipped idols in defiance of Israel’s God. So, God sends a prophet, Elijah, to Ahab to predict no dew or rain resulting in a three-year drought and famine. Yet, God cares for Elijah. He provides sustenance, first through birds, then via a starving widow and her son. When that son dies, God revived him to life. God eventually Elijah back to Focus on sends King Ahab to see if the drought had softened Faith his dry heart towards Kirk Knudsen God, but it had not. Therefore, Elijah
offered a contest to see whose god could set an offering on fire. The 850 prophets working for Ahab and his evil wife Jezebel in service to Baal and Asherah see no fire. Elijah soaks his offering in water and God consumes everything in or near Elijah’s offering with fire. Then Elijah and all who acknowledged the Lord (Yahweh) as God killed all the false prophets in a decisive, undeniable victory for Elijah and his God. Yet, hours after the greatest victory of his life, Elijah isn’t hearing God’s voice, but Jezebel’s saying, “may the gods slaughter me if I don’t slaughter you by this time tomorrow.” Elijah is so discouraged he asks God to take his life and let him die. Then Elijah heard God’s voice. “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Elijah laments (my paraphrase) “I’m doing what you asked, but my people
hate you, hate me and are trying to kill me.” Here is how God responds: “And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.” (1 Kings 19:11-12) Why did God whisper? What did God whisper? Why did God whisper? Because he was so close. What did he whisper? My guess is something like: “Why are you afraid Elijah? I provided for you in a drought. I defeated kings and prophets through you. I control earth, wind, and fire. I raise the dead. Your life is in my hands, not Jezebel’s. Why are you
afraid?” God is with us whispering, “Why are you afraid? You can go where I’ve called you and do what I’ve asked you.” The God who controls earth, wind and fire is for us. The God who raises the dead is in control of our lives. Therefore, we can take big risks without fear. We can release what is important to us to God’s control. There are many voices that vie for our attention, but only God’s voice matters. Only God can provide food and protection. Only God can provide forgiveness of sins. Only God can provide purpose to our lives. Only God can provide life where there is death. That God whispers an invitation to each one of us: “I am in control, trust me.” PASTOR KIRK Knudsen is the lead pastor at Trio Community Church in Mora. Contact him at kirk@triochurch.com

WILDFIRE PREVENTION SPRING BURNING RESTRICTIONS LIFTED The spring burning restrictions that went into effect on April 22, were lifted at midnight on Wednesday, May 15, and burning is again allowed through the existing permit system. People will once again be able to stop in at the DNR Forestry offices and/ or township fire warden residences to pick up a permit. The purpose of the burning restrictions was to reduce the number of wildfires caused by debris burning and to reduce property damage. Our historical data indicated that 43 percent of wildfires originated from yard cleanup and debris burning. We have appreciated everyone’s patience with this process. When are burning permits required? Burning permits are required by law for most open burning. They are issued free of charge by local DNR foresters, and for free or for up to one dollar from township fire wardens. Burning permits allow the DNR to limit burning to those times when there is less chance of a fire getting out of control. Although no time is totally safe to burn; evening hours are considered much safer than daytime hours because in the evening the winds are normally slower, the humidity is higher and the temperatures are cooler - so fires that do escape control, burn much slower and are easier to put out. Most permits are issued for evening hours of 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. No burning permit required: • When the ground has a snow cover of 3 inches or more surrounding the immediate area of the fire sufficient to keep fire from spreading. Burning can be accomplished 24 hours a day under these conditions. • Campfires in contained rings that are not larger than 3 feet in diameter and have the ground cleared of combustible materials for 5 feet around the base of the fire ring. Campfires have to be for cooking, warming, or for ceremonies, and not for cleaning up yard debris. • A fire contained in a charcoal grill, camp stove, or other device for the purpose of cooking or heating. • An authorized burner used between the hours of 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. for vegetative material. Special Permits: Permits for daytime burning are issued on a case-by-case basis, and must be issued by a DNR forest officer. Burning permits may be issued to burn vegetative material only, including leaves, grass, brush, twigs, unpainted and untreated lumber. For more information on open burning, call the Mora DNR Forestry Office at (320) 679-3683, Sandstone DNR Forestry at (320) 245-6789, Little Falls Forestry at (320) 616-2450 x626. City Burning Regulations: Mora, City of: Burning of dried leaves shall be permitted only during the period of October 17 through November 7 under the following conditions: • Property owner shall obtain a permit from the city. • Leaves shall not be burned within fifty (50) feet of any structure. • Leaves shall not be burned on streets, alleys, sidewalks, curbs, or gutters. • A responsible person shall be present at the leaf burn at all times. • Leaf burning shall be prohibited during a burning ban or air pollution alert. • Leaves may not be left to smolder. • A fire suppression device such as a fire extinguisher, garden hose or pail of sand must be available at the leaf burn site A community composting site has been established at the East Central Solid Waste Commission and encourages residents to not burn, but to use the community compost site instead. Ogilvie, City of: Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR.
A community composting site has been established at the East Central Solid Waste Commission and encourages residents to not burn, but to use the community compost site instead. Grasston, City of: Allows open burning only when the burning permit is approved by their designated township fire warden or the DNR forester. Quamba, City of: You must obtain a burning permit from your local township fire warden or the Mora DNR Forestry Office. Burning permits may be issued to burn only leaves, grass, brush, twigs, unpainted and untreated wood. For more information on open burning, call the Mora DNR Forestry Office at (320) 679-3683. Beroun, City of (Unincorporated): Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR. Brook Park, City of: Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR. Sandstone, City of: Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR. Henriette, City of: Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR. Hinckley, City of: Strictly no burning within city limits. Pine City, City of: Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR. Rock Creek, City of: Burning permits issued by Township Fire Wardens or the DNR. Burning Permit Agreements: • To keep the fire under control and to assume responsibility for all damages and costs that may result from burning done under the permit. • To attend the fire until completely extinguished. • To have the permit available at the burn site for inspection. • Not to burn if there is a practical alternative method for disposal of the material such as chipping, composting, or recycling. • To use a clean burning device to start the fire. • Not to conduct burning during any air quality alert. • Not to burn prohibited materials listed under M.S. 88.171. • To extinguish the fire immediately if the permit is revoked. • That the permit fire will not be allowed to smolder without flame. Burning Permit Requirements: • Prevailing wind must be away from nearby occupied buildings, public roads, airports, and landing strips. • Smoke must not be a hazard to the public. • Permittee must be at least 18 years old. • Burning is prohibited below the ordinary high water mark of public waters except for agricultural operations or for the purposes of managing forests, prairies, or wildlife habitat. • No open burning shall be conducted within 50 feet of a residence of another person, without his or her written permission. General Fire Safety: Prior to getting a permit: • Make sure that you have a good water supply • Make sure that you have tools to keep the fire under control (shovel, rake, etc.). • Make sure that you have a cleared area around the fire (the size of the cleared area would depend on the size of the fire). • Pay special attention to the weather (Is it windy? Has the weather been dry? Is the humidity low?). Many fires escape due to unexpected changes in weather conditions. • And finally, please attend your fire at all times.
TOWNSHIP FIRE WARDENS
Township Fire Wardens are local people who volunteer their time to assist the DNR-Forestry Division in issuing burning permits. There is usually a minimum of two wardens per township and often more than that. TFWs may issue permits for open burning of piles of vegetation for up to three evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Just look for the State Fire Warden sign on a wooden post at the driveway entrance. Calling ahead is recommended to avoid a wasted trip and to let the warden know you plan to stop by.

Neighborhood National Bank and SPIRE Credit Union. Their employees volunteer their time to go out and help take care of the grounds. “The Garden Club ladies and everyone are very loyal to taking care of the gardens,” said Mayor Skramstad. The basic maintenance of the grounds such as mowing and hauling in dirt or rock is done by the City of Mora. All other contributions to the Oakwood Cemetery and the Memorial Day service is made possible by the volunteers who donate their time, and local families and businesses that donate money. Mayor Skramstad stated, “The American Legion contributes supplies through donations. A lot of the families will make a donation to the legion specifically for the Memorial Garden.” In addition, Boy Scout Joah Schultz is working at earning his Eagle Scout badge by being in charge of upkeep such as painting the pergola and benches, and doing landscaping before the service. It’s his responsibility to raise the funds, find volunteers and organize the project. The Boy Scouts are also helping the American Legion put American flags on veterans and legion members graves for the service, totalling around 700 flags. At the service there are no business logos out on display saying who contributed, but instead a stone commemorating Steve Ahlness, and a recognition of the six branches of the military. “We don’t want it commercialized, but we certainly do thank (the contributors) every year for all their hard work towards making this happen so successfully,”

Looking back at Nov. 9, 2012: American Legion Post 201 erected a monument in the Oakwood Cemetery Memorial Garden dedicated to those who have served in the United States Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corp, Merchant Marines and Coast Guard. Pictured are (l-r) Steve Johnson, Steve Ahlness (past commander of American Legion Post 201) and Mike Patterson (face hidden by monument).
said Mayor Skramstad. At the May 27 Memorial Day service will be special guest speaker Senator Rarick. The Honor Guard will perform a flag ceremony, Jackie Peterson will be singing the national anthem, and the names will be read of all veterans and
American Legion Auxiliary Members who died in the last year. The service starts at 10:30 a.m. and is expected to last about one hour. In case of storms it will be moved from Oakwood Cemetery to the Civic Center at the Kanabec County Fairgrounds.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are a terrific planner, but something is getting in the way of plans to socialize in the days ahead. Commit to seeing friends regardless of the obstacles in your way. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 You can handle difficult situations with ease, Taurus. Others may think that you are uncaring, but you focus on the facts and not the emotions of the situation. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Others look to you for guidance this week, Gemini. Try to lead them in the right direction. If you do not have all of the answers, try to find them. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Take some time to sort through personal issues that may be holding your career back, Cancer. Once you clear your mind, you can focus fully on your career. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 If you find yourself spending more time with your social circle rather than family, you may have to reassess your priorities, Leo. Don’t let responsibilities slide. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Direct your energy toward work in the days ahead, Virgo. There is a possible promotion in the works, so now is a great time to put your nose to the grindstone.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Sometimes the key to success is to know when to step back and take a break, Libra. Periodic respites from the daily grind can help you recharge and refocus. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may be looking for something new to keep yourself occupied. Try learning a new sport or a language. This is a fun way to meet new people and stay busy. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you have been procrastinating of late, keep in mind that you will ultimately need to get things done. Better to get back on track sooner rather than later. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, support a reputable cause or charity. Doing so sets a positive example, and you will feel better for having done so. Even small efforts can make a profound impact. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It isn’t enough to simply get the job done, Aquarius. You need to do everything to the best of your ability. If you do, you will have a sense of accomplishment and pride. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, ask others for help if you are having any difficulties in your personal life. They can bring a new perspective to the situation.
East Central Minnesota Pride will present the 15th ‘Pride in the Park,’ Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m., June 2, 2019, in Robinson Park, downtown Pine City. The event is a celebration of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning) community of Pine, Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec and Mille Lacs counties. East Central Minnesota Pride is proud to bring musician Venus DeMars to the event stage for the first time, as well as welcome back Mark Joseph and the American Soul. DeMars is a musician and multidisciplinary artist. As the founding member of the band “All the Pretty Horses,” her one-person show often provides the audience with a mix of contemporary music, performance
and spoken word. She has been awarded Minnesota State Arts Board, Jerome and McKnight fellowships for her individual and collaborative work with Intermedia Arts. Because of their popularity and variety of music genres, Mark Joseph and the American Soul will be performing at their third Pride. This year, Mark and the band will perform the entire album, “Graceland,” Paul Simon’s Grammy award-winning album of the year in 1987. Though now over 30 years old, “Graceland” is often cited as one of the best albums of all time. In 2007 it was added to the National Recording Registry as “culturally, historically and aesthetically important.” As always, the event is free to attend and features a wide variety of
vendors and exhibitors, live music, food, arts activities and entertainment. Emceeing the event is Twin Cities’ Public Television’s Val Mondor. All are welcome to attend. “We are welcoming back the Wyoming Area Creative Arts Community, with their children’s activities,” said Julie Redpath, of Chisago City, who is on the Pride Committee. “Families and people of all ages enjoy that.” East Central Minnesota Pride was born in 2005, as a fifth anniversary of the East Central Men’s Circle, a discussion group for gay, bisexual and questioning men of the region. “We were skeptical about whether anyone would show up in a public place,” said Don Quaintance, a founding member of the Pride
Committee. “But hundreds showed up for our first event, and it’s grown ever since.” The theme of this year’s event is “Pride in the Park: 15 Years of Positive Change!” This activity is funded through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council through an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund. Area businesses that would like to show their support can contact a member of the Pride Committee for an “All Are Welcome Here” sticker or rainbow flag to display on their storefronts. More information can be found at www.EastCentralMinnesotaPride. org.

The update meeting was cancelled due to weather, however updates have been coming weekly. The House passed a nine hundred million dollar increase in funding. A prime topic was funding equalization.

Debbie’s Day at the Matinee, sponsored by the CAPP program, had over 190 elementary youth take advantage of the free passes on Sunday. Several adult community education classes are being offered this spring and summer. We have over 550 memberships issued for the Wellness Center walking track, with more applications coming on a daily basis. The Community Education Advisory Board also approved an additional 4 year old early childhood preschool class due to the waiting list and increasing interest. They are also exploring adding a 3 year old preschool option to fill in the other days available. Space is available at the Elementary School for this addition. This report is on file in the District Office. Brandt presented the Transportation report and Building and Grounds report. The transportation department is continually recruiting drivers. Regarding buildings and grounds, the third radon test was completed and the results came back just fine and within acceptable range.

Spartz also recognized the Mobile Ninja Warriors and Native American Dancers as upcoming events. This report is on file in the District Office. Schultz presented the Superintendent’s report. Darcy Qual, again, did very well during the MCA Department of Education Audit. Darcy was very thorough and very detailed oriented, that led to a very
stressful, but successful interview with the MDE representative. The bid documents are prepared for the tennis court and parking project at the Elementary School. The first advertisement will be in the paper this week. Looking forward to beginning this project by mid-July with completion in mid-September. Schultz attended the Forest Ave Project update at Mora City Hall. The Bus Garage access to the south will be closed off from July 1st through August 30th. If the project goes longer than anticipated, they will make accommodations for access by mid August. The sale of the .1 acre lot to Dollar General took place April 19th. The fifth winter weather related school closing took place April 11th. Superintendent Schultz recommends forgiving the student day, and offering employees the opportunity to make up the missed hours. A parent complaint prompted Brian Ashworth, Ashworth Electronics, to offer to donate labor, and assistance with purchasing equipment at cost, for the High School gymnasium audio system. The total estimated cost of the project is $15,000.00. A $5,000.00 donation in labor and equipment discount for a cost of approximately $10,000.00 to the District. The project is anticipated to be completed in time for the Graduation Ceremony on June 2nd. Also noted was the number of applications for the walking track at the Wellness Center. Schultz added the 550 applications was in addition to the approximately 500 FirstLight staff members and approximately 300 School District staff members that have access. Schultz also asked the Board for a clearer direction on what the Board would like to pursue regarding the High School facility. The full report is on file in the District Office. Kirschner responded the Board has been reviewing information presented in the last few months. Moe, Woods, Bohachek and Jensen preferred a work session to discuss what we can get and not waste tax dollars. Schultz was asked to survey staff regarding their take on education adequacy, their visions for the future and opinions on options. Superintendent Schultz will prepare a staff survey, and work with consultants to coordinate a work session prior to the next regular Board meeting. Correspondence was reviewed. Jensen made a motion, seconded by Moe to forgive students for no school, and allow flexible make-up time for staff as overseen by their supervisors, on April 11, 2019 due to the weather related closure. The motion passed unanimously. At the second Open Forum, community member, Steve Denzine, expressed his support for a new high school building. Mr. Denzine works for the state prison in Rush City. After a recent visit to the ALC program at the high school, Mr. Denzine commented on the mazelike layout of the high school. Steve also addressed the ALC program cuts, as many of the inmates he works with at the state prison began where many of the kids currently in the ALC program are. Christine Sand also commented during Open Forum, on speaking to the Driver’s Education class on May 10th, all are welcome to attend. Ms. Sand is also a member of the Mora Education Foundation, and wanted to communicate there are a number of of mini grants available through the Foundation that are very unused. Christine advised the Board of the Mora Education Foundation Fundraising Event to be held August 21, 2019 at Fish Lake Resort.
