Runners make the record book
County searches for new coordinator
BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
Heading into the Nov. 3 state cross country meet the Mora boys were ranked seventh. Individually junior, Cooper Lennox, was ranked third. Both the team and Cooper exceeded expectations as the team brought home third place hardware and medals while Lennox ran a school record time to bring home state runner up honors. Prior to the meet, head coach Chris Goebel said, “I think we have potential to be a top five team if we run similar times to our section meet. I think we have a shot to be third10th. There are a lot of teams that are about the same as us.” The boys ran a splendid race with five runners coming in at a time of Chris Goebel 17:20 or better. Four CCR Head Coach of those times were personal bests and the best case scenario came to fruition. Perham won their second consecutive state championship. West Central Area was second followed closely by Mora. Coach Goebel was proud of his boys, “We talked all week about trying to

Christopherson has served as Kanabec County’s coordinator for six years and will serve his final day on Nov. 9. He will begin a new position as White Bear Township’s clerk-treasurer on Nov. 13. He and his wife Kristen have two young daughters live in Ham Lake. There will be no need to relocate, Christopherson said, and he looks forward to the shorter commute. “I’ve been missing a lot of time with the family because of the distance to Mora, so the township was a great opportunity,” he said. The Kanabec County coordinator is responsible for carrying out the orders and policies of the board of

Students bring drama to life with “Our Town” BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM
During the first night of rehearsal with their complete set pieces, crew members measure then mark bits of the stage with tape. Tucked away in the wings, small camps of young actors and actresses pour over scripts and practice lines for Mora High School’s upcoming fall production of “Our Town.” “The talent is good here,” said director Hope Murray. Murray has many years of experience
directing high school plays in Rogers, Blaine and Marshall. She earned a degree in theatre from South Dakota State University and has since worked in public relations, marketing and journalism. After seeing her husband’s career shift over time, Murray was inspired to go back to school and became a teacher. While her job as an English teacher at Mora High School is her first teaching gig, she is an experienced director. The young actors enjoyed working with her.
“She has a lot of energy and we laugh a lot in practice,” said student Erik Moe who is playing the role of Doc Gibbs. Senior Britta Williams plays the role of the stage manager and narrator of the play. Williams has participated in school theater since the seventh grade and has worked under a variety of directors. She said each has their “different ideas and feel” and she has enjoyed working with Murray. “Our Town” is a three-act play by SEE OURS, PAGE 6

Make mine hot and sloppy
M
y daughter’s favorite food to “make” with her play dishes is a salad. When she thrusts her little hand out with that toy plate and says, “have salad, Mommy,” I send it back and ask if she has any biscuits and gravy. I love a hearty, sloppy breakfast. One of my favorite things about deer season (besides the time outside, the people and the evening overindulgences) is the breakfast on opener morning. The night before, the meal is Editor always the same: a dish of roastKirsten Faurie ed potatoes, rutabagas, onions and carrots served with ham hocks and cabbage. It’s tradition. The next day after the morning sit, those potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, onions and ham are turned into the most delightful breakfast hash. Top it with an over easy egg with the yolk seeping into the potatoes and you’ll be happy. Add toast with homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam and you’ve got heaven. While some hunters choose to stay out in their stand all day, eating cold granola bars or a tinfoil-wrapped slice of egg bake warmed on a portable heater, I don’t think I’ve ever missed heading in for breakfast. Un-showered and unkempt, I will devour that delightful dish with no reserve and no napkin. When it’s gone, I’ll revel in its glorious memory with a cup of hot coffee. It’s a beautiful moment of peace and satisfaction with only the slightest hint of shame. I hope anyone who has cared to read this far can find a similar moment of satisfaction and take time to recognize it. Enjoy each bit of happiness when you can find it, whether it be visiting a friend, hearing a favorite song on the radio or enjoying a hot and sloppy breakfast with coffee.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mora School Board needs a change To the editor, ICS Consulting was hired by the Mora School Board to moderate its latest attempt at community input by implementing a “Task Force.” Had the school board wanted a fair process, they would have sought out a neutral moderator. Instead, the agenda of ICS is to promote successful school bond referendums. Their website provides a document titled “9 Reasons Why Good Referendums Fail.” This tells us that school districts, especially those who work with ICS, leveraged their approach to the public and saw an excellent referendum passing rate – passing a billion dollars alone in the Metro area. ICS is hired by the schools to promote their objective of passing a referendum, not the objective of real community input. Members were asked to complete a survey regarding needed repair at the high school. No dollar amounts were attached; there was little agreement regarding what was a priority. ICS then attached dollar amounts to the list, and members were required to say whether they would support a referendum of $10, $20 or $40 million. None was acceptable to the majority. Two meetings later, Bob Engberg presented an alternative proposal to repair, renovate and re-new. This plan had a price tag of $2.4 million. Around this time, community members discovered several pools of available money totaling nearly $10 million. This is from the website of the Minnesota Department of Education Balance

Sheet, audited as of 10/24/2017; and verified by phone with the financial department that these are available funds to be used as the board chooses. Same old, same old. Despite the Task Force illusion that the community has been allowed to give input, the current school board’s only agenda is to pass another referendum with the help of ICS. There is no other outcome desired or accepted by the school board. You, the community, can leverage your approach to the Mora School Board. Wendy McCabe Mora
We can do better with election ads To the editor, I am sickened by the televised political ads that have been shown for the past months. To all who now hold a legislative office, please consider correcting this ugly situation which neither serves to inform potential voters on the issues nor provides dependable information on the candidates themselves, things we American voters deserve to know. The negative attack ads don’t “work” as some say they do. How can we vote for a candidate who is relentlessly cast as a criminal or a spouse abuser, or is presented as having made ridiculous decisions and associations on issues such as education, health care, taxes and immigration? Nearly all candidates claim to favor transparency and accountability. Many state that the United States is and should be a nation of

laws. How can the same candidate create and televise, or allow the creation and presentation by a supporting group, an ad that contains lies and misleading information about his/her opponent? Often, this same person proclaims his/ her long history of and unfailing ability to “work across the aisle.” There are laws regarding slander and libel. Candidates often use the phrase “we can do better,” and they are right. I propose a new law which would apply to all elections on all levels and pertain to all forms of media: 1) A candidate is responsible for all ads that serve to boost his/her candidacy, regardless of the source of funding. 2) A candidate must state his/her name, the office he/she is seeking, his/her qualifications for this office and his/her positions as they pertain to this office. 3) A candidate may compare his/ her positions with those of the opponent, but only if full explanation of statistics is provided. 4) A candidate’s ads may include video and audio of his/her opponent but only if complete contextual background is provided. I leave the language up to the elected officials whose job it now is to write the bill. There, go to work. Loren W. Brabec Braham

Per pupil unit funding increased but cuts were made in other areas so schools netted less money. Let’s not forget that under Gov. Pawlenty and GOP control, nearly 2 billion dollars were withheld from schools in an unethical attempt to balance their budget, thus forcing them to borrow money. Ridiculous and unconscionable. Gov. Dayton and the Democrats paid that money back. Erickson’s pride in being honored by the NFIB deserves a closer look. This organization is a political action committee that has been widely recognized as one of the plaintiffs that tried to take down the ACA. It consistently lobbies on issues that benefit large corporations, not small business. Make no mistake, they are a front group. Finally, she was honored by the Minnesota School Board Association for her work on addressing teacher shortages. I think if they had any idea that her effort would completely underfund the new PELSB agency, making it nearly impossible for them to do their work, they might rethink that accolade. Sue Barrett Mora
Ask A Trooper Neil Dickenson
Question: My neighbor has cattle and horses, and I know they had gotten out of their fences and onto the road a few times. If they are struck by a vehicle, can he get cited or sued? Answer: Law enforcement could cite your neighbor, and he could be sued civilly by someone who was injured or sustained loss because of an incident like this. Minnesota state law says: “It shall be unlawful for any owner or any person having the control of any such animal to permit the same to run at large in the state.”
In my career, I have responded to crashes where farm animals were struck by a vehicle and the occupants were injured. If farm animals are on the road, law enforcement will assist in getting them off the road and to the rightful owner before they get hit. Normally, this is done without taking enforcement action. However, I believe repeated offenses would warrant enforcement action, especially if an officer knows there is a history of animals (being at large) involving the same owner.
Animal owners shall make sure that all fencing is in adequate condition and maintained to prevent injuries to the animals and motorists if the animal is struck. Anytime you see a farm animal on the roadway, call 911 and report it. Law enforcement will assist in the removal and provide emergency lights to warn other approaching motorists. SERGEANT NEIL DICKENSON is Minnesota State Patrol public information officer for the state’s northeast region.
“To bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance”
E
leven people dead, four wounded during Shabbat morning services at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. Stunned, saddened, sick at heart, a nation struggles once again to make sense of the senseless. Now is the time for mourning. Funerals, First vigils and interAmendment faith services this week draw Center together family, Charles Haynes friends and Americans of good will across the nation. Any mass murder is horrific and tragic, but as President Barack Obama said following the 2015 massacre at Mother Emanuel Church, “There is something particularly heartbreaking about the death happening in a place in which we seek solace and we seek peace, in a place of worship.” The unthinkable is now commonplace in the “land of the free.” Just days before the Tree of Life attack, a gunman in Kentucky shot and killed two African Americans at a grocery store after failing to force his way into a nearby black church. Perpetuators of religious hate crimes in America are ecumenical. Synagogues, mosques, churches, temples — all now targets of vandalism, assaults and violence. From the massacre of
six Sikhs in a Wisconsin temple to the bombing of a mosque in Minnesota to the murder of 26 people in a Baptist church in Texas, a wave of violence in recent years has spared no faith or creed. It was not supposed to be this way. The promise of religious freedom in America is the promise — first and foremost — of safety. Millions have fled religious wars, persecution and repression seeking a safe haven, a place where they could freely and openly practice their faith without fear. Our first president understood the power of this promise. That is why soon after his election George Washington reached out to people of faith, especially those in the minority. In a series of letters written in 1790, he reassured Quakers, Catholics, Baptists and Jews — all victims of prejudice in the New World — that they would be safe under a government committed to religious freedom. Best known of these letters is Washington’s address to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, cited more than once this week. This government, the president declared, “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” Breaking from the precedents of history, the United States has no established religion and guarantees every citizen full free exercise of religion. “All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship,” Washington wrote.
It was not supposed to be this way. The promise of religious freedom in America is the promise — first and foremost — of safety. “It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights.” Does this promise of freedom now ring hollow? True, hate crimes against religious communities in this country are not new. Outbreaks of anti-Semitism, nativism and Islamophobia are an ugly part of the American story. But are we, as a nation, turning a dark and dangerous corner? Has the language of hate and fear — rhetoric that helps incubate a culture of violence — moved into the mainstream of political discourse? Thinly veiled anti-Semitic messages and conspiracy theories, propaganda demonizing Islam and Muslims, white nationalists running for office and politicians ginning up fear of refugees and immigrants to win votes — all of this is no longer on the fringe; it is becoming the norm. Does our government still give “bigotry no sanction, persecution no assistance”? Or do
politicians at the highest level — greedy for power — now betray the promise of religious freedom, the promise of a safe haven for all people? President Washington no doubt knew that our experiment in religious freedom was fragile. Constitutional guarantees of liberty are essential, but not sufficient. Religious freedom as a legal right means little unless people of all religions are safe to practice their faith, wear their religious garb, speak their truth and in other ways follow their conscience without fear of discrimination, persecution or violence. That is why, perhaps, Washington closed his letter to the Hebrew Congregation with a prayer of hope and a vision of safety drawn from the Book of Micah: “May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.” And let the people say, Amen.

Here’s to the happy couple (and maybe their pre-nup)
I
n one of the classic 1990s Seinfeld episodes George Constanza is about to marry Susan but is getting “cold feet.” He asks his friends if there is any easy way to break off the engagement and one replies, “Two words: PRE NUP!” So what is a prenuptial (or ante-nuptial) agreement? You may have heard about the wealthy It’s In Your entering into such agreements to protect Court their premarital assets the event of divorce Stephen Halsey in or death. Some might
say it’s the quickest way to end the romance and an engagement. Under Minnesota statutes the agreement has several requirements: 1. In writing signed by both parties and two witnesses before a notary public 2. Signed prior to the date of marriage 3. There is a full and fair disclosure of the earnings and property of each party 4. Each party had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel of their own choice It should come as no surprise that such an agreement can become the source of expensive and lengthy liti-
gation in the event of death or divorce within a few years after its execution. Often the dispute is whether the wealthier party hid valuable assets or income, or coerced the less-wealthy party into signing it. It is important first of all that requirements one and two are met, otherwise its invalidity is almost assured. As to fair and full disclosure, most good lawyers will attach a detailed list of assets and income to the agreement so there is less risk of a successful challenge in court that proper disclosure did not occur. It is also important that each party selects and consults with their own attorney, not someone chosen by their fiancé.
If an agreement is found valid in a divorce proceeding the parties, the assets owned prior to marriage are more likely to be found to be non-marital assets not to be shared with the other spouse. But as in all matters of this complexity there is never an “ironclad” prenuptial agreement. Consulting an attorney and not simply getting a sample agreement off the internet is the best decision. In summary, if your fiancé mentions the words “pre-nup,” you are best served to consult an attorney. Here’s hoping it doesn’t tarnish the romance.

Veterans Day November 11, 2018 Freedom isn’t Free… Thank You to all of our Military Personnel for the Sacrifices you have made for our Freedom. The Historical SigniĂcance of Veterans Day
V
eterans Day originated as Armistice Day and marked the end of hostilities of World War I that occurred at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Therefore, the day is always recognized on November 11th, regardless of the day of the week the 11th falls on. The day was originally set aside to honor the Veterans of World War I with a day of parades and remembrances as well as a pause in activities at 11am on the day. In 1938, it was made a legal federal holiday for all. However, after World War II and the Korean War, Congress recognized a need to expand the meaning of
the day to recognize all of our Veterans and not just those of World War I. In 1954, the word “Armistice” was replaced with “Veterans” as a way to formally include all Veterans of all American wars in the day of remembrance. Veterans Day is a day not only to remember those who died in service to our country, but also to recognize those who continue to serve today. Americans are encouraged to say thank you to those who fulfill this patriotic duty to maintain the freedoms of our country. This year, Veterans Day, November 11, 2018, falls on Sunday.
2018 Marks World War I Centennial At the outbreak of fighting in 1914, the United States remained on the sidelines of World War I, adopting the policy of neutrality favored by President Woodrow Wilson while continuing to engage in commerce and shipping with European countries on both sides of the conflict. Neutrality, however, was increasingly difficult to maintain in the face of Germany’s unchecked submarine aggression against neutral ships, including those carrying passengers. In 1915, Germany declared the waters surrounding the British Isles to be a war zone, and German U-boats sunk several commercial and passenger vessels, including some U.S. ships. Widespread protest over the sinking by U-boat of the British ocean liner Lusitania—traveling from New York to Liverpool, England with hundreds of American passengers onboard—in May 1915 helped turn the tide of American public opinion against Germany. In February 1917, Congress passed a $250 million arms appropriations bill intended to make the United States ready for war. Germany sunk four more U.S. merchant ships the following month, and on April 2 Woodrow Wilson appeared before Congress and called for a declaration of war against Germany.
soldiers dead and 21 million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or more lives. In addition, at least 5 million civilians died from disease, starvation or exposure. More than four million American families sent their sons and daughters to serve in uniform during the Great War, of which roughly 116,708 U.S. soldiers died from combat and disease. Another 204,000 were wounded. World War I was known as the “war to end all wars” because of the great slaughter and destruction it caused. Unfortunately, the peace treaty that officially ended the conflict—the Treaty of Versailles of 1919—forced punitive terms on Germany that destabilized Europe and laid the groundwork for World War II.
At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France. The First World War left 9 million

Farmers share experiences at soil health ďŹ eld day BY TERRY SALMELA NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
Area farmers and people interested in soil conservation learned about the principles and shared their experiences at trying to improve soil health at a Soil Health Field Day on Oct. 24 on the Munsterteiger and Wahlstrom farms south of Ogilvie. Both farmers are doing things to protect our soil and water. They incorporate conservation practices such as no-till planting, cover crops and rotational grazing into their farm operations. Duane Munsterteiger who raises beef, corn, hay and pasture has had success with planting a mixture of cover crops into his corn field soon after the corn is planted. He rotationally grazes his beef herd and is a certified farmer in the Minnesota Agriculture Water Quality Certification Program, administered by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Brad Wahlstrom raises beef, corn and no-tills his soybeans and wheat. He has seen added benefits from grazing his fall-planted cover crops, including added nutrients and organic matter from the manure and the cattle cleaning up the fallen grain. He is working with MDA to get certified in the Minnesota Agriculture Water Quality Certification Program by planting cover crops. Guest speaker was Natu-
ral Resource Conservation Service Minnesota Acting Soil Scientist, Hal Weiser. He said that healthy soils are important as we are experiencing more intense weather events and they are more resilient and resistant to degradation. He shared the following soil health principles. They are: • Minimize soil disturbance • Use a diversity of plants to add diversity to soil life • Grow living roots throughout the year – as long as possible • Keep the soil covered as much as possible • Integrate livestock • Manage compaction • Control erosion Weiser said, “Soil is living. We are starting to understand it.â€? He discussed the importance of soil biology to plant growth and the importance of soil bacteria and fungi in the soil. He said that certain species of soil bacteria are critical to act as the glue that forms smaller soil aggregates (particles), while fungi species help to decompose dead plant material, help transfer nutrients to plant roots and form the glue to form larger soil aggregates. The more soil health practices and principles that are followed in a field over time, the healthier the soil becomes. Soil aggregate size, water holding capacity, nutrient transfer to plant roots, fertility, organic matter and crop yields in-

crease. Weiser demonstrated how a one-inch rainfall will infiltrate and runoff differently on differently managed soil. He had five samples of the same soil type on managed grazed pasture, one with cover crops on harvested wheat, one on 35-year continuous hay, and a forest soil. The management practices which absorbed the most water and had the least runoff were from the 35-year continuous hay and the cover crops. The disturbed soil in the corn-soybean chisel plow rotation had the least water infiltration and the most soil runoff “erosion.� At a Producer Sharing Forum John Stevens, Pine City; Kurt Beckstrom, Bock and Troy Salzer, Barnum shared their experiences with cover crops, rotational grazing and no-till practices. Each have seen the values in these conservation practices, including increased yields, increasing their financial bottom lines, reducing fertilizer needs and reducing erosion. After the tour, Weiser commented that these farmers have been self-educated and learned by trying different ways of improving their soil organic matter, increasing soil water holding capacity and reducing soil erosion. “They are taking a long-term perspective and also trying to make it work in the short-term for their farming situation,� said Weiser. “They know the importance of water infiltration and

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture reminds farmers and their families that the Minnesota Farm and Rural Helpline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The service is free and confidential. The toll free number is (833) 600-2670. “These are challenging times for growers who are facing a number of economic headwinds on the farm. And during harvest, that stress builds for a lot of farmers spending long hours in the com-
bine,� said Minnesota Corn Growers Association President Brian Thalmann, who farms near Plato. “All farmers should know this number is available when outside help is needed.� Farmers and rural communities face unique stresses and emotional situations, including financial challenges, unpredictable weather and physically demanding work. Stress, anxiety, depression, financial burdens and other mental and emotional challenges are common. The Minnesota Farm and Rural Helpline connects callers to financial help, mental health counsel-
ors, legal assistance and more. Calls are confidential, but counselors may ask for a first name and phone number in case of a dropped call. Translation services are available in all languages. The Helpline is also available to people who are worried about family or friends and aren’t sure how to help. Farmers and rural Minnesotans can call the toll free number as often as needed at (833) 600-2670 or visit the MDA’s website for additional resources on farming and stress.

125 owners affected by buffer law BY TERRY SALMELA NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
“Initially it was a huge concern,” said Deanna Pomije, Kanabec Soil and Water Conservation District Manager on how the Minnesota Buffer Law would affect farmers and landowners. The preliminary assessment of how far Kanabec County is in compliance with the law has gone well said Pomije.
She said that 73 percent of Kanabec County lands adjacent to public waters are in compliance while 74 percent of Minnesota counties are 60-100 percent compliant with the state’s bipartisan water quality buffer initiative. “We are lucky that a lot of our land adjacent to these waters already has grass and hay. However, landowners need to understand that if it is ever tilled that it will need a buffer.”
The Minnesota Buffer Law which was passed in 2015 and amended in 2016 requires landowners with land adjacent to public waters or lakes to have a 50-foot vegetative buffer and those adjacent to a public drainage ditch to have a 16 1/2 foot vegetative buffer for better water quality. Pomije said that 125 letters were sent to Kanabec County

How do we respond when our nation is in spiritual decline?
O
ver the last 30 years our nation is slowly drifting away from the standards that set us apart from other nations and are now at a crossroads. In Tim LaHaye’s book, “A Nation Without A Conscience,” he writes, “No one can deny that America’s character has changed over the past two generations. We once depended on Focus on the blessings of God; today we collectively Faith mock or ignore Him altogether. Our nation Steve Ekholm murders 4,000 unborn babies every day; we accept the promotion of homosexuality as an ‘alternative lifestyle’; we license
gamblers and pornographers. Our politicians show no shame about their pro-abortion and pro-gay positions, our children shoot each other on school playgrounds…What happened to America?” That’s a good question. Isaiah chapter 5 shows us a nation in spiritual decline. This is parallel to what is taking place in America right now. The chapter opens with a sad song because the song is about God who created everything necessary for a fruitful vineyard. He used the best seed, found the best location, and used the best protection but when he checked on the harvest he found bad fruit. This song revealed the spiritual condition of Israel and how they were slowly drifting away from the Lord (Isaiah 5:1-3). After examining the situation God says, “What more could have been done
for my vineyard then I have done for it?” When we reject the Gospel there is nothing more God can do. Patrick Henry says, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” How should we respond? Isaiah chapter 6 shows us three ways to respond when there is a spiritual decline in our nation. First, we remain in God’s presence. In his presence we understand that God is our supreme ruler and we get a fresh revelation of his holiness. As we worship him we see him in all his glory and we encounter his love. Second, we repent from our sin. As we encounter his love and holiness our sin surfaces so his fire and his blood can cleanse us. If God is going to restore
our nation it must come through His church and people repenting of their sin. Finally, we respond to God’s calling for us is to share His love until there is no one left to share with. We are called to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our Lord (Micah 6:8). Most importantly, we are called to pray. If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chron. 7:14). Imagine if every believer and church in Mora humbled themselves, turned from their wicked ways and prayed. STEVE EKHOLM is the lead pastor at Living Hope Church in Mora.

Mora falls to Annandale, ends season 10-1 the two point conversion the Mustangs trailed 27-12. Mora was able to move the ball in the second half, just not in big chunks like they were accustomed to. Mora would turn the ball over on downs twice in a row deep in Cardinals territory. The final drive once again saw Mora move the ball, but time was being taken off the clock to do so. With under a minute left a pass was picked off in the end zone in essence ending the game. Annandale will advance to the state quarter finals to take on a tough Pierz team. The Mustangs are left to contemplate a tough loss after a brilliant 10-1 season. “There were obviously many positives we can take from this season. But, the kids know there’s more work to do. We will regroup and move forward into next season,” said Coach Erickson.
BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
On Friday, Nov. 2, Mora put their undefeated record on the line in the Section 5AAA championship game at St. Cloud State University. Top seeded Annandale stood between the Mustangs and a return trip to the state tournament. Annandale ended the Mustangs season with a 27-12 victory as the Mustangs finished with a record of 10-1. The game started off like it would be a shootout. On its opening drive Annandale used a variety of short passes and the quarterback running the ball to move down the field. The Cardinals were able to convert a third-and-12 on the drive and scored their touchdown on a fourth-and-eight from the 13-yard line on a touchdown pass. Mora answered with a methodical drive on the ground. On the drive Mora converted a couple of third downs and a big fourth-and-2. The drive culminated with a Jonathan Smith 1-yard scoring plunge. The two-point-conversion failed and Mora trailed 7-6. Annandale answered the Mustang score with one of their own. On third and 10 from midfield, Annandale’s quarterback showed his athleticism on a 50-yard touchdown run to make it 13-6 after the missed extra point. After a Mora punt Annandale was able to extend the lead primarily because of their quarterback. He not only passed for 115 yards on the night he led the way on the ground with 142 yards. A 12 yard touchdown run by him made the score 19-6. Annandale’s defense was stingy for the most part, but the Mustang offense finally busted a huge play on its next

drive. On what Mora fans have become accustomed to this season, Smith busted loose for a 54 yard touchdown. Another failed two point conversion made the score 19-12. Mora’s defense rose up to force the first punt of the night for the Cardinals. In fact, the Mustang defense would not allow another score on the night. But, the offense coughed up the ball around midfield on a drive late in the first half. It was the first of three critical turnovers on the night. Head coach Troy Erickson said, “The fumble at the end of the first half was

crucial. We had their defense on their heels a little bit and had momentum at that time.” It appeared that Annandale may take a two touchdown lead into the locker room, but on third and goal from the two yard line and only nine seconds left, Mora’s defense stuffed the athletic Cardinal quarterback. With no time outs left the half ended with Mora trailing by just one touchdown. On his defense coach Erickson said, “I was really happy with how our defense responded after allowing three touchdowns on their opening three
possessions. Our defense really got dialed in after that and gave us a chance.” The second half saw the Mustangs allow just one first down to the Cardinals. Mora’s offense was put in some tough spots in the second half as two of their drives started inside their own 10 yard line. Misfortune struck the Mustangs on their second possession of the half. Facing third and six from their own 12 yard line, an interception was thrown and returned for a touchdown. It would be the only points of the half and after

Lions conclude strong season with RTR loss BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
Even though the Lions entered their section final game on Nov. 1 as the No. 1 seed, they knew they’d have their work cut out for them. Their opponent, Russell-Tyler-Ruthton (RTR), was the defending section champion and state semi-finalist a year ago. RTR was able to score early and often with a mix of the passing game and running game. The Lions defense couldn’t slow the RTR offense and trailed 40-0 at halftime. The offense struggled against a stingy RTR defense and couldn’t find the end zone during the game. The combination resulted in a 46-0 loss as RTR advanced to the state quarter-finals. “We got behind real early and had a drive inside their 20 but had a critical sack and could not convert. We had two more chances but mistakes caused us to turn the ball over,” said Head Coach, Dave Halvorson. “Jake Felde left the game early in the second quarter and did not return. They were a good team and won the section last year so they had game experience and a 20-minute drive for home field advantage. The boys played hard to the end as they did all season so we look forward to next season but know the seniors will be hard to replace.” Ogilvie finished a fine season with a 7-3 overall record. Next year Ogilvie will have a great season to build upon with a lot of very talented returning players.

run times similar to our Section meet. I knew those times would be no worse than fifth. The boys delivered. We ended up having four personal best times and Josh Rawls was within one second of his best. Kaden Halverson ran his second best time ever and Wilson Krueger ended his career with a strong mental race. “Coming into the meet there were so many teams that had the capability of being top three. We were ranked seventh and projections based off times did not have us in the top eight. I am really proud of these guys for trusting and believing that they would run their best times at the end of the season.” Individually, junior Cooper Lennox was fantastic. Lennox cracked the 16 minute barrier running a school record 15:56.4. He became the second Mustang runner to bring home state runner up honors (the other was Michael Schwinghamer). State champion, sophomore Geno Uhrbom from Greenway-Nashwauk-Keewatin, ran a time of 15:38.0. On the girl’s side Mora had two individual racers. Sophomore, Peyton Oslin, was making her Chris Goebel second consecuCCR Head Coach tive appearance. Freshman, Eva Holmgren, was making her first appearance. Holmgren finished in 95th place while Oslin finished 117th. On the girls coach Goebel said, “Eva had a blast. She learned a lot off the experience and really enjoyed the course and the race. It may not have been her best time, but she gained valuable experience. Peyton from the beginning knew her legs were not feeling it. Peyton really had a great last three weeks of the season. We are proud of her and are looking forward to big things next year.”

Mora VB rebounds from injury to prepare for next year
Teamwork multiplies Lions’ wins BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Mora Mustangs began the 2018 season with the loss of a senior captain and three-year starter, and went on to stay competitive in several matches and develop skills for next season. The Mustangs finished the regular season with a 7-20 record, sixth place in the Granite Ridge Conference and eighth place in Section 7 AA Subsection 1. They were eliminated from postseason play on Oct. 24 with a loss to eventual Section champion North Branch. “Our record doesn’t reflect our ability and our potential,” said head coach Lisa Gustafson. “We were competitive in several matches this year, but didn’t pull out the win. We had some high points when it appeared that we were starting to click chemistry-wise, only to be hindered again the next match.” “We struggled with consistency in many aspects of the game. It seemed that one part of our play was always off, whether it be the serve receive, defense or others. Court chemistry is huge. We need to build that, learn to grab momentum and stay positive in our play.” Gustafson said that the team excelled in several matches this fall. “We played our best matches against Little Falls on Aug. 30, Becker on Oct. 4 and Zimmerman on Sept. 11 and Oct. 11. We won three GRC games, beating Zimmerman twice and Little Falls once, and pushed Becker to four sets at home. Our Oct. 2 match against St. Cloud Cathedral was tough, though we managed to take a set from them. They deserve their state entry this season.” Early in the season, the Mustangs were hindered by a key injury. “Senior captain Emma Rasmusson’s injury in the Milaca match on Sept. 13 changed our season drastically,” Gustafson said. “Senior captain Molly Lukenbill made the most impact. She led in many statistical areas: serving at 94 percent with 153 points and 33 aces, hitting with 179 kills, 51 blocks and 181 digs. Junior Hailyn Bos was also a leader with 63 blocks and 150 kills.” “Several of our players are capable of developing leadership, and we hope they’ll step up to the challenge. Many young players had critical roles on varsity this season; they’ll be looked upon to keep developing skills and leadership qualities.” The Mustangs will be busy throughout the off-season, said Gustafson. “Participating in other sports during the winter and spring is a start; the athletes need to stay active and continue to develop athleticism. Speed and strength training, winter practices, spring tourneys and a busy summer are in the works.” “Improved skills, diligence and mental toughness will turn it around next year.”

In a remarkable 2018 season, the Ogilvie Lions volleyball team won 12 times as many games as they did last year. With 11 seniors graduating, the team will look to returning players for leadership next fall. “I’m pleased with our season, going from one win last season to 12 wins this year,” said head coach Pam Nickles. “Our strengths were in playing together as a team and learning to cover tips better.” The Lions finished the season with a 12-13 record, fourth place in both Section 5 A North A and the Great River Conference. They defeated Hinckley-Finlayson 3-2 on Oct. 25 in the first round of Section playoffs, but were eliminated the next day by No. 1 seed Rush City. The team finished 2017 at 1-19. Nickles pointed to a couple of milestones for the Lions this fall. “One was the Northland Tournament in Remer on Sept. 22. We ended the day 4-1, which gave us confidence that would help with our season. And our most memorable highlight was beating Braham 3-2 at home on Sept. 25.” The Lions 2018 roster contains 11 seniors, two juniors and a ninth grader. “Senior captains Maizy Burk and Lilly Lee made the most impact, and brought their leadership skills to each and every game,” Nickles said. “We’ll look for juniors Annika Berg and Cori Olson to provide leadership next fall. They both have played varsity since ninth grade.” “We’ll look at players who are coming back, seeing what gaps we need to fill from the graduation of our 11 seniors. We’ll continue to beat teams and stay competitive in the GRC.” Nickles said she’s pleased with the Lions’ progress this season. “We saw growth in many girls’ skills and leadership. And we’ll definitely miss our seniors next year.”
Wagamon inducted into Luther College Athletic Hall of Fame CONTRIBUTED
Barb (Wagamon) Aamodt, a 1993 graduate of Luther College, was inducted into the Luther College Athletic Hall of Fame for her outstanding achievements in track and field and volleyball. The induction ceremony took place on Saturday, Oct. 27, as part of the Luther College Homecoming weekend. A two-sport athlete, Aamodt was a multiple year letter winner in both volleyball and as a high jumper for the track and field team. At the conclusion of her volleyball career she ranked first on Luther’s all-time list for career kills (654) and career attack percentage (.243) and second for total blocks (504). She is also the only high jumper in school history to earn all-conference honors outdoors four times, capturing the Iowa Conference individual title her senior year. She was a two-time NCAA Division III National Meet participant qualifying for both the indoor and outdoor championships in 1992. Aamodt is employed by Wagamon Brothers Inc., and Wagamon’s Ogilvie Raceway. (Wagamon) Aamodt is a 1989 graduate of Blaine High School. She is the daughter of Wallace and Carolyn Wagamon of Mora.

Elections, like weather, have passed off very pleasantly
125 YEARS AGO (1893) The deer killing season is open and not a sign of snow to track the deer in. A. Blaisdel came down Monday from a hunting expedition in the northern part of the county. He had good luck having bagged 13 pheasants and a deer. A. W. Crusoe, Horace Conger, Andy Norton, N. A. Peterson and others are out slaughtering deer this week. News from Look out for some tall stories when they Yesteryear return. Dr. Niven the Matt Anderson painless dentist will visit Mora periodically. H d offi ffice in i St. S Cloud. Head If the elections yesterday were like the weather here, they passed off very pleasantly. A new arrival at Fred Norton’s last Saturday. It’s a girl and Fred is happy. The mother and child are doing well. Superintendent Sundeen returned yesterday from a trip in the southern part of the county and reports heavy timber fires having done a great deal of damage down there. The village of Milaca has added another new industry to its list- a manufacturing establishment to manufacture barrel material, broom handles and box material. Among the Incorporators is A. J. Conger formerly of this village. A big fire occurred at Milaca last Sunday in which the Milaca House and Conger House and considerable adjacent property was destroyed. We have received but a meager report of the fire and do not know how much the loss amounts to. The play entitled “The Confidential Agent;” whose authors are Mr. S. B. Molander, of this village and Mr. Alfred Molander, of Austin, was put on the boards at Austin last week by the latter and was played with great success. The Herald, a local daily, gave a synopsis of the play and complimented the authors very highly.
100 YEARS AGO (1918) “Bitten By Tarantula:” On Saturday afternoon when O. E. Carlson went into his store to get some bananas, he was bitten by a deadly tarantula secreted in the bunch of bananas. Only the presence of mind, and great pluck of Mr. Carlson probably saved his life, for he immediately bit a large piece out of his
hand and then sucked the poison and blood out. Dr. O’Dell was called and came as fast as gasoline and his sturdy Ford could bring him and he dressed the wound and Mr. C. is attending to business as usual. ---Bock News. “BURNQUIST BY 50,000; Knute Nelson Defeats Calderwood by about 100,000. Republican State Candidates Returned by Big Vote; Hamer Proves a “Sticker” For Cravens for Senator and Serline and Enger are Elected to the Legislature; Anderson For Register of Deeds; A. S. Olson for Judge of Probate; Sellstedt for Sheriff and P. S. Olsen for County Attorney:” Governor Burnquist had been re-elected by about 50,000 majority and the entire republican state ticket has been endorsed. A. C. Townley and his Non-partisan League candidates have received a severe trouncing at the hands of republicans and democrats; nearly all of their candidates for office in this state, and in fact, in all parts of the United States where the party was thought to have been strong, except North Dakota, having been defeated. The farmers and laboring men have been doing a little thinking themselves and not depending entirely upon Townley and his horde of paid organizers to inform them. They even went so far as to endeavor to poison farmers against the towns, stating that the business men and newspapers were accusing the farmer of being disloyal. This they knew to be a falsehood. It is a fact that the farmer is just as loyal as anyone and no one has intimated otherwise, but the League has a large number of paid agitators who are proven Socialists and who have caused these false rumors to be circulated to poison the farmers against the business men and those loyal to the government; but fortunately the ring-leaders are now in prison or under sentence. 75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Blizzard Blocks Rail And Highway Traffic In State; Heavy Snow Accompanied by High Wind Prevails for 24-Hour Period:” Minnesota had its first touch of winter this week when a blizzard hit this region last Sunday and continued for twenty-four hours. The snowfall, accompanied by a strong wind, varied throughout the state from a few inches to more than a foot. The snowfall in this vicinity was about six inches. All highways were blocked and traffic suspended temporarily. Bus travel was suspended to Mora last Monday but was resumed the following day. The weather was comparatively mild so there
was not the loss of death from exposure that resulted from the Armistice day blizzard of three years ago. School re-opened in Mora Wednesday after being closed Monday and Tuesday due to inability of school buses to travel until roads were opened. The Ogilvie school remained closed Wednesday. Mail carriers were unable to travel Monday but made part of their routes on Tuesday. “Local Hospital Site Question Settled; County Board Accepts Location to be Donated by Village of Mora:” The county board at its session last Friday accepted the site near Zion Lutheran church as a location for the hospital to be built by the county. The site contains a fraction over two acres and is being bought from J. H. Nelson by the village. The purchase price is $570.00. The board purchased snow plowing equipment with a provision that it be delivered not later than January 10. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “Pistols, Shells and $47 Taken in Ace Hardware Break-In:” Five pistols, shells and about $47 in cash was taken in a break-in at Ace hardware last week Wednesday night. Entry was made through a small window above the paint section. The window had been pried open, paint removed and set outside on the ground so the culprit could climb through the small window. The thief or thieves left four other new pistols just like the ones that were taken. Sheriff Anderson reports that thieves recently broke into the Nova Kowski cabin at Quamba lake and stole an Onan light plant. “Richard Nixon Edges Hubert Humphrey; County Hospital Proposals Pass:” The presidential election of 1968 held all the suspense and thrills of a first rate movie or TV thriller. Final outcome wasn’t known until 10 a.m. Wednesday morning when the Illinois electoral vote went to Richard Nixon giving him the required number of electoral votes to win over Hubert Humphrey. Nixon got a total of 287 electoral votes--270 were required for election. Meanwhile, voters throughout the land eagerly watched their television sets or listened on their radios to keep track of the extremely tight race. It wasn’t until Wednesday morning that the nation learned that the California electoral votes were going to Nixon. Of special interest to the voters of Kanabec county was the contest for state representative in district 25A. Joe D. Drazenovich of Mora swept Kanabec
county with 2407 votes to 1685 for Joe Gimpl but lost in the Pine county vote which went heavily to Gimpl. At press time, with one Pine county precinct unreported, Gimpl had a total of 6371 compared to 4657 for Joe Drazenovich. 25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Section champs! ; Mustangs ‘sack’ Princeton; gain spot in state Class A tournament:” The finishes just keep getting better! Kris Mattson and Saul McBroom sacked Princeton quarterback Jeremy Snow on the last two plays of Friday night’s Section 5A championship game, after Snow had guided his team to first-and-goal at the Mora two, as the Mustangs delighted their frosty fans by topping the Tigers 14-8 and advancing to the state tournament. Mora, now 10-1, travels to Section 2A champion Mankato East, 6-5, for an assignment in the state Class A quarterfinals Friday (7:30 p.m.) against the Cougars of the Big Nine Conference. The victor goes to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on Nov. 19 to take on either unbeaten Northfield or once-beaten Albany. “Residents want city water; Central Avenue homeowners address Mora City Council:” The handful of residents who live just north of Mora Lake in the Central Avenue area have been hoping to someday be hooked into the city water system. A petition signed by five of the area’s six homeowners was addressed at the Mora city council meeting of Nov. 2. Although Central Avenue is well within the city limits, city administrator Steve Jones said, “It looks like it would really be costly to put sewer and water in there.” Mrs. Elna Kent circulated the petition. “I’ve owned this place for 60 years,” she said, “and I’ve always wanted city water. All the water from the wells here is bad-tasting, bad smelling, and has a lot of iron.” THE NEWS From Yesteryear is compiled by Matt Anderson from the Times historical editions housed by the Kanabec History Center.

Winter preparations include energy assistance programs CONTRIBUTED MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Winter is approaching and the Minnesota Department of Commerce and the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission want Minnesotans to know about two important options if their home heating costs are unaffordable. The Energy Assistance Program helps eligible Minnesota homeowners and renters pay for home heating costs. The Cold Weather Rule protects residential utility customers from having their heat shut off during the winter months. “If you or someone you know is struggling to keep the heat on, help is available from the Minnesota Energy Assistance Program,” said Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Jessica Looman, whose agency includes the State Energy Office. “We encourage households and families with children, seniors, disabled persons and veterans to apply now.” “The Cold Weather Rule is a
safeguard for the most vulnerable Minnesotans during our challenging winters,” said PUC Chair Nancy Lange. “It ensures that households in need are safe, warm and healthy. By working out a payment plan with their utility, Minnesota families with financial challenges can still keep their heat on.” ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Minnesota’s Energy Assistance Program helps homeowners and renters earning at or below 50 percent of the state’s median income ($49,698 for a family of four) pay their heating bills. The average annual payment per household last year was about $545. Households with seniors, people with disabilities, veterans and children are especially encouraged to apply. Minnesotans who use gas, electric or delivered fuels to heat their homes are eligible for the Energy Assistance Program. Applications were recently
sent to households that qualified for energy assistance last year. Others who may qualify are encouraged to apply by contacting the local service provider in their county by calling 800-657-3710. Households can find their local Energy Assistance Program service provider, listed by county, at the Commerce Department’s Energy Assistance Program webpage. The Minnesota Commerce Department administers the Energy Assistance Program in partnership with 29 local service providers throughout the state. It is federally funded through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Commerce Department also administers the Weatherization Assistance Program, which provides energy efficiency improvements to reduce energy costs for households that meet income eligibility guidelines. Both homeowners and renters may apply for
weatherization assistance. Other forms of assistance may be available through county social service programs, community-based organizations and nonprofit agencies. MINNESOTA COLD WEATHER RULE Minnesota law protects people from having their heat turned off for failure to pay their bill. This is called the Cold Weather Rule and it is in effect from Oct. 15 through April 15. All electric and natural gas companies are required to offer this protection. Under the Cold Weather Rule, customers who have a combined household income at or below 50 percent of the state median income ($49,698 for a family of four) are not required to pay more than 10 percent of their household income toward current and past heating bills. Others are also eligible to arrange a Cold Weather Rule payment plan. To prevent heating disconnection under the Cold Weath-
er Rule, customers must first contact their utility to establish and maintain a monthly payment plan. Minnesotans who need to re-connect their service for the winter should contact their utility now to take advantage of the payment options. The Cold Weather Rule does not apply to delivered fuels such as fuel oil, propane or wood. However, Minnesotans who use these fuels are encouraged to contact the companies serving them to discuss payment options if they are concerned about their ability to pay this winter. For example, a state law requires that propane distributors offer all customers a budget plan. The Cold Weather Rule is administered by the Public Utilities Commission. More information on the rule is available at the PUC website or by calling 651-296-0406 or 800657-3782.

Johnson triumphs in Braham Area High School mock election CONTRIBUTED TAMMI JOHNSON AND BECKY SWANSON
The statewide mock election for high schools in Minnesota included Braham Area High School. The number of schools that participated in Minnesota Students Vote 2018 was 282. This is a campaign that “helps students discover the importance of elections and the power of their votes in the democracy” according to sos.state.mn.us. The lowest voting rate is among the younger voters, so Steve Simon, Minnesota Secretary of State, came up with an inter-connected experience where all students in Minnesota got the chance to vote. “Not only does this campaign help the stu-

dents get familiar with the voting ballot, but also lets them think of choices and what other students vote throughout the state,” says Simon. Each high school in Minnesota was allowed to do elections their own way, either setting up a polling place or letting the students vote whenever possible. Voting for the students of Braham happened during their lunchtime on Tuesday, Oct. 23. Students, who donned “My Vote My Voice” stickers afterward, voted for the Minnesota Gubernatorial tickets. The state provided everything, including the stickers and the ballots. “I think this is getting good habits early,” says Simon. “It makes the students more likely to vote and
Pedestrian crashes, fatalities increase in fall CONTRIBUTED WWW.MNDOT.GOV
More hours of darkness this time of year increase the number of pedestrian crashes and fatalities, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. As the days get shorter, motorists and pedestrians should use caution when driving and walking. So far this year, 28 pedestrians were killed. In 2017, 42 pedestrians were killed and 1,053 were injured compared to 60 deaths and 1,037 injuries in 2016. “Pedestrians are more difficult to see when the sun rises later and sets earlier, increasing the risk of crashes,” said Ray Starr, acting state traffic engineer. “Motorists and pedestrians are equally at fault when we look at the crash
data. Both groups need to know and obey the laws because basically we’re all pedestrians at some point in our day.” The crosswalk law includes these highlights: • Motorists must stop for crossing pedestrians at marked crosswalks and at all intersections without crosswalks or stop lights. • Pedestrians should obey traffic signs and signals at all intersections that have them. • Vehicles stopped for pedestrians can proceed once the pedestrian has completely crossed the lane in front of the stopped vehicle. • Pedestrians shouldn’t enter a crosswalk if a vehicle is approaching and it is impos-

sible for the driver to stop. There is no defined distance that a pedestrian should abide by before entering the crosswalk; common sense should be used. • When a vehicle is stopped at an intersection to allow pedestrians to cross, drivers of other vehicles approaching from the rear should not pass the stopped vehicle. For the full crosswalk law, go to: http://www.mndot.gov /peds/education/index.html. About one-third of pedestrian crashes happen during the weekday rush hour driving time, defined as 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. One out of every four pedestrian fatal crashes occurred between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.

REPORT DISCRETELY. If you’ve heard or seen anything similar to what is already reported below, you may be one of many people in Northern Minnesota to have had an encounter. If so, you are not crazy. This is real, and we know it. If you’ve heard things like wood-on-wood tree knocks; high-pitched, sustained screams; long howls (the likes of which are much louder and deeper than that of wolves or coyotes); heard loud penetrating roars, grunts, growls, yelps, whoops, or inexplicable deep barks – WE NEED TO TALK. If you’ve heard distant chatter, perhaps in an indistinguishable language, coming from areas where such sounds would otherwise be illogical – CONTACT ME. Other highly credible people in your area have reported hearing the same type of vocalizations. If you’ve seen clearly arranged rock or stick displays, this is also being reported. We’ve documented tree structures in your area made with uprooted, uncut sticks and found large footprints and taken reports from eyewitnesses who have seen and smelled the animal itself. You may be yet one more person to have had these same experiences. If so, please contact me. Your name will not be used without express permission from you. As a side note, it can be quite liberating to speak to someone who knows the truth. I want nothing from you except your story. If you are the property owner on the land where your encounter occurred, we may compensate you for your story. Call, text, or email me – Jeff 651-302-3800 • jjs5perctr@gmail.com
