Kidnapping victim escapes moving car BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

A St. Cloud man was able to escape his kidnappers by jumping from the trunk of a moving vehicle on Sunday, Sept. 23, in Kanabec County. The event is still under investigation but it appears the victim may have been lured through social media. According to a press release issued by Mille Lacs County Sheriff Brent Lindgren, the victim told law enforcement that he was on a

social media site called MeetMe. com and communicating with a woman he believed to be named “Milena.” This person invited the victim to visit her at her residence approximately 7 miles north of Onamia. He drove to that residence. When he arrived, he was led into the basement. There he allegedly saw three men and four women; they appeared to be smoking marijuana. The victim reported he became SEE KIDNAPPED, PAGE 6

Paranormal researcher, author and lecturer Chad Lewis is coming to the Mora Public Library on Oct. 23.

Lewis has given presentations at hundreds of schools, libraries and private events.

We move on, even when we shouldn’t

his week I’ve been torn between feelings of fear and peace of mind. Every September I head into a cold office closet we call “the records room.” It contains every issue of the Kanabec County Times published throughout the last year. I pull one issue from each week, and over the course of 1-2 days, I flip every page (every 1,084 of them) to choose entries for the annual Minnesota Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. Editor I find it surreal to look back Kirsten Faurie and remember the big controversies of a year ago; then I see i resolution l i a few f issues later. its Looking back at these stories, I remember more than what was printed on the page. I remember the emotions of the people I interviewed. I remember being generally wet throughout July. I recall the comments and reaction when a story was published. Stepping back, seeing the year laid out on 1,084 pieces of uncoated groundwood paper product with smeary soy inks, I am reminded that our current stresses, what feels so important in the moment will pass with time. Perhaps an issue is forgotten about completely while others have a profound effect on the future. Some don’t shape the future enough. Eager to move on from the pain and stress, we perhaps move on too quickly. It was only six months ago students walked out of schools and held massive protests in the wake the Feb. 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen students and staff members were killed. In the aftermath, our legislators were quick to brag about how much money they were throwing at schools to address the problem. They still are. But are we safer? Communities rallied. Grassroots groups came together to talk about school safety. They chatted about ideas ranging from fences, arming teachers, bulletproof glass and every now and then I receive sales pitches in my inbox for Kevlar shields that can be kept in an elementary student’s backpack. Six months later what has really come of all that talk? We’ve moved on when perhaps we shouldn’t have. We’re onto the hot issue of the new hour, perhaps it is something about Bill Cosby, football or whether Bert and Ernie are supposed to represent a gay couple. I’m torn between peace of mind and fear knowing the concerns of today won’t last into tomorrow.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR President Trump; a true leader To the editor, It was noted last week that “it’s going to take a long, suffered awakening before we return to the sanity of a long enduring people.” We just had eight years of that in the last administration. So glad we are done apologizing to the world for our exceptionalism while enduring a stagnant economy and putting America on the back burner. Obama said in 2016 that these manufacturing jobs are gone, they are never coming back. In just a short time President Trump got over 400,000 manufacturing jobs back in the U.S.A. It is not going to happen if you are not willing to try. President Trump is not afraid to tackle anything if it helps all Americans. Trump’s policies are benefitting everyone in America. It was said last week that less than 15 percent of the tax reduction

Trump has the ambition to address the trade imbalance we have endured for many years. actually trickled down to employees. How can this be true when the tax tables were lowered for 95 percent of all Americans? If you are extremely wealthy, then little or no benefit came your way. Trump has the ambition to address the trade imbalance we have endured for many years. China has been stealing our intellectual property for years and we just allowed it, Democrat and Republican administrations. Thanks to President Trump, he is laying out new groundwork for trade equality. Japan, South Korea, Europe and just now Mexico and Canada signed a preliminary agreement with the U.S. (USMCA) These are testimonies to this administration.

It must really be tough to be a Democrat leader these days with all the good news in trade, economic results, tax results (2.0 in process to further these cuts) foreign relations (prisoners released and veterans’ remains being returned from North Korea) and the lowest unemployment of all time. All Americans are benefitting, Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Where can a Democrat improve upon these? Their model seems to be obstruct and resist. Where is their message? What is their message? I would like to hear it. In the Civil War there was a soldier who held the flag during battle for spirit and courage to all his comrades. If he went down, another soldier would pick up the flag and hold it high. I feel we finally have a president who is standing for our flag. A true leader for all Americans. Dan Sims Grasston

Loneliest star ﬁnds a companion

ctober’s dark and often clear skies are perfect for enjoying the fall constellations. Some of them are fairly dim, but if you like a challenge, grab a star chart and go outside soon after nightfall. One good target is Minnesota Pegasus, the winged horse, Starwatch easily recognizable by its Deane sizable Great Square high in Morrison the southeast. Close by is Andromeda, a double string of stars extending from the Great Square’s northeast corner. Its most famous feature is a fuzzy patch of light: the Andromeda Galaxy. At 2.5 million light-

years away, Andromeda is our Milky Way’s nearest large neighbor and the most distant object visible to the naked eye. Close above the southern horizon shines Fomalhaut, the only remarkable feature of Piscis Austrinus, the southern fish. Fomalhaut’s name derives from the Arabic for “mouth of the fish.” A fixture of science fiction, Fomalhaut is about 25 light-years away, twice as massive as the sun, and 16 times brighter. It also has a wide disk of dust and debris. It’s known as “the loneliest star” due to the expanse of nearly empty sky around it. But now Fomalhaut has a companion in Mars, the bright light just off to the northwest. Mars spends October in chevron-shaped Capricornus, the sea goat. Watch the stars of Capricornus stream past Mars from night to night as

Earth’s orbital motion sweeps them westward. We’re actually sweeping Mars westward too, but much more slowly because the red planet’s own orbital motion helps it resist being left behind. Meanwhile, above and east of Mars, scraggly Aquarius, the water bearer, pours down its water from the Y-shaped Water Jar. Next to the Water Jar and right below the Great Square, look for the ring-shaped Circlet of Pisces. The Draconid meteor shower peaks in the evenings of October 7-9. Usually, we get just a handful of these slow-moving meteors per hour, but occasionally they put on a real show. If you decide to take a chance on it, go out right after nightfall, lie back in a lawn chair and look to the northwest. Any Draconids you see will radiate from a spot high in the

MINNESOTA STARWATCH | SUBMITTED

The star, Fomalhaut, known as “the loneliest star,” will be joined in the sky by Mars this October. This view described above can be seen while facing south, 3 hours after sunset on Oct. 18

northwest, in the constellation Draco, the dragon. On the 10th, see if you can spot a young moon close to the west-southwest horizon right after sunset. The next night, a three-day-old crescent pairs up with Jupiter. Look an hour after sunset but no later, or Jupiter may have set. October’s full hunter’s moon arrives on the morning of the 24th, but

Corrections should be seen as good things, not weapons for critics

o err is human — but, it would seem, corrections are not seen by many as divine. Inevitably, when journalists in all kinds of mediums start fresh each day, sometimes assembling the equivalent content of a paperback book, mistakes will be made. Once upon a time — ironically, in a time when a free press was held in higher public First esteem though misAmendment takes were made — corrections were made Center less frequently and, at in newspapers, Gene Policinski least often placed in lesser-read spaces. As first thought, efforts to correct errors more quickly and prominently should bring both praise and satisfaction from news consumers — and for some, it does. But for others, the mere existence of corrections (and let’s count the lesser cousin, “clarifications” too) are signs of media malfeasance, proof that so-called “fake news” exists or is grounds for online versions of public floggings. There’s no question that news operations should be called out when mistakes are made. Social media has made that calling much easier and much louder. Case in point: The New York Times’ correction in print editions after the Emmy Awards, noting “A picture cap-

tion ... using information from a photo agency, misidentified a woman presenting the award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. The woman was Angela Bassett, not Omarosa Manigault Newman.” An earlier tweet from the Times said that while the caption error was first made by Getty, the photo provider for the image, it was a mistake that should have been spotted and corrected by the Times. The Twittersphere lit up as critics slammed the newspaper and its website for sins ranging from embarrassing carelessness to the much more serious reminder of the error’s racial overtones. One online post asked, “Do all dark-skinned black women look the same to your editors?” There is value to be found in considering the full spectrum of those criticisms, particularly if we can avoid simple social media “piling on” that can distract from that value. But from photo captions and factual errors to plagiarism and invented sources, what other profession fixes missteps so quickly, so publicly and so thoroughly? Answer: Few come to mind, if any. While examples are available from any number of news outlets that make corrections quickly and publicly, for this discussion, let’s stick with corrections the Times published Sept. 18: “The Here to Help column on Friday about three books on the sexism women face in Hollywood misstated the year that ‘Bossypants’ was published. It was 2011, not 2018.

“An article on Monday ... gave an incorrect title for Jens Stoltenberg of NATO. He is the organization’s secretary general, not its general secretary. “An article on Sunday ... misspelled the surname of the European Union’s Brexit negotiator. He is Michel Barnier, not Bernier. “An article on Monday ... misidentified the winner of a game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams won by a score of 34-0.” None of these corrections — save perhaps the last one, for Cardinals fans — involved an earth-shattering mistake. None rose to the level of whatever fluid description applies today to the highly politicized “fake news.” Clearly, mistakes of facts, not of motives; more oversight than heinous skullduggery. Yet, even as such corrections take place daily, in pages and online, from news organizations large and small, those who would weaken, restrict or even do away with a free press find traction in such open admissions. Better to continue in a combined effort to make news reports as accurate as possible — and perhaps to extend such self-reviews to social media posts. Another case in point, yet again from the Times, from its Sept. 19 report about “Debunking Five Viral Rumors about Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s Accuser” — in each of the five cited rumors, the newspaper reported, misinformation was conveyed online by a variety of individuals or groups, noting the misidentification and errors

remained, days later, uncorrected or without factual support. An unfortunate truth about the unprecedented Age of Information in which we now live is the huge amount of misinformation or outright fabrication that now clogs the systems bringing us news and information. So let’s end with a very proactive step by the Times in which, on Sept. 17, it invited the public to join its efforts to avoid misinformation. The item, “If You See Disinformation Ahead of the Midterms, We Want to Hear From You,” says that “as November’s midterm elections approach, The New York Times is looking for examples of online ads, posts and texts that contain political disinformation or false claims and are being deliberately spread on internet platforms to try to influence local, statewide and federal elections.” “Times journalists are hoping to use your tips to advance our reporting. If you see a suspicious post or text, please take a screenshot and upload it” using a form provided by the newspaper. Making corrections in a very public way will not restore all public confidence in a free press — that may be better achieved by not making mistakes in the first place — but fixing errors and taking proactive steps to sort out deliberate misinformation ought to be encouraged, not weaponized.

GHOSTS: Man searches for answers to the paranormal FROM PAGE 1

curious why people saw UFOs there, and began talking to people and asking them questions. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Applied Psychology from the University of Wisconsin. Lewis started out as an atheist, and his goal was simply to study why some people believe in the weird while others don’t. But about 10 years ago his view shifted, and now he finds himself more of an agnostic. “I simply don’t know,” Lewis said. “When I started, I thought I would come to a quick conclusive answer and figure it out, but now I know that I may never answer those questions.” Many of Lewis’ colleagues have burned out. “They’ve gone without any answers or conclusions for so long, that they have given up,” Lewis explained. But what keeps him going strong after so many years, is that he shifted his focus from trying to find out whether the paranormal phenomena are true or not to instead concentrating on the folklore of it. “The recording and documenting of these legends is more important than solving them,” Lewis said. By documenting these stories, he makes them available for future generations. Lewis authored 22 books, a few of them pertaining to Minnesota and the Midwest. He found that Minnesota has a wide variety of creatures, and that Minnesotans are more likely to tell him their stories because they are down-to-earth and feel more comfortable sharing, without the fear of being judged by uptight neighbors. Lewis’ favorite field keeps shifting. UFOs used to be his favorite. Then hauntings. Now he is most interested in monsters because they are so bizarre. His adventures have taken him to Transylvania in search of vampires, to Puerto Rico for chupacabras, to Scotland for elusive monsters, to Ireland’s castles for ghosts, to Belize for Tata Duende. So far he has been to 13 countries. His goal is to catch up to Robert Ripley, the host of “Ripley’s Believe It or Not,” who traveled to 200. Lewis’ next destination is Norway and Sweden, where he plans to explore the legends of lake monsters and little people. Lewis is left with more questions than answers, and every time he has a theory on how to explain it, he’s back to square one. Perhaps because of our state, we are not evolved enough to understand yet, Lewis reasoned. “The monsters could be inter-dimensional thought beings, instead of flesh and blood,” Lewis said. This would account for why there is no physical evidence found from them, such as their fur, DNA or bodies, and why they are not seen for long stretches of time, and then pop back in through the veil. Lewis’ many talks with eye witnesses have taught him that supernatural phenomena seem to happen by random

chance. The pattern is that there is no pattern. “Rarely does it happen to those looking for it,” Lewis said. One man told him a story of his vacation in Florida, where he ate in a restaurant that he absolutely loved. When he went back on a subsequent visit, the restaurant didn’t exist. He looked for it and asked the locals, to no avail. Another person relayed his experience of driving in Iowa, when all of a sudden everything turned to black and white and he found himself transported to the 1940s. The cars were Chad Lewis different and so were Paranormal researcher the buildings. People were dressed differently, too. When this driver turned off the street, things were back to normal. When he went back, it was all gone. “There is no rhyme or reason for these experiences,” Lewis explained. “It’s like a portal shift.” One of Lewis’ favorite places is Lake Pepin, which is located between Wisconsin and Minnesota. There’s even a $50,000 reward for the capture of the Sea Serpent who is thought to live there. One of the most haunted places he’s visited is Elk Lake Dam in Wisconsin, where a hitchhiker by the name of Mary

was murdered in the ’70s, and since then people claim to have seen her, heard her screaming and felt her intangible presence. Lewis also tells of the Lamberton cemetery in Minnesota, where people say they hear faint cries from a young girl who is thought to have been buried alive there. Lewis has also researched a doll in Janesville. One of the stories surrounding it is that a boy who took his own life transferred his soul into it, and now anyone who looks at the doll will be cursed. Lewis loves researching how stories progress and shift over time. Lewis has used thermocams, EMF meters, night vision, trail cams, motion cameras and the assistance of psychics. But he feels that when investigators are too caught up in all of the equipment, they miss out on the experience of it, on the legend, on the surroundings. He encourages people to go out there and explore for themselves. Lewis has found that people are seeking adventure and something offbeat. His presentations include photos, case history, eyewitness accounts and folklore. According to Lewis, people who come to him with their stories are rational, logical, down-to-earth – just folks who’ve had something happen to them that they can’t explain. And it’s the adventure of not knowing that keeps Lewis interested. “The mystery keeps me propelled forward,” Lewis said. “It would be a sad day if it all gets solved.”

uneasy with the situation and decided to leave. When the victim was walking back to his vehicle, he was confronted by the three male parties. The victim reported that all three parties were holding firearms. The three males allegedly ordered the victim to take his clothes off and they forced him into the trunk of his own vehicle. As the vehicle was traveling, the victim was able to open and leap from the trunk on 290th Avenue in Kanabec County where he was picked up by a passing vehicle. According to Kanabec County Sheriff Brian Smith, the victim was badly injured from the leap and was treated at a hospital. According to the press release, the victim’s car was later found abandoned in Kanabec County; none of his clothing or personal belongings were recovered from the car. Sheriff Lindgren reports that the victim was later able to point out on a map where the approximate location of the kidnapping occurred. Sheriff Lindgren reports that the victim is cooperating with law enforcement as they continue to investigate. Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s Office and the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office are investigating this incident and anyone with further information is asked to report it to their sheriff’s office. Lindgren said he believes this to be an isolated incident, but warned anyone using social media sites to meet people. “Use extreme caution and never meet at an individual’s residence. Public places should be considered and always let others know where you are going and who it is you plan to meet,” he said.

Andrew Anderson and his brother Erick News from returned home from West sick with Yesteryear the typhoid fever. A. W. Crusoe deMatt Anderson parted last week for Marinette, Wisconsin, and will return with his family via the World’s Fair. The Swedish Lutheran church society of Mora, held their annual meeting last Monday and elected officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. P. R. Gray and her children are visiting at Marine. Before returning Mrs. Gray will order her new fall stock of hats and millinery. J. W. Hooper, a former resident of Mora, was in town this week. Like a number of other persons who have pulled out from here, he wishes himself back again. A train made up of 104 cars passed through town last Monday. The engine was pulling away at the bridge across Snake river before the caboose passed the depot. Andrew Peterson, a son of T. O. Peterson, of Brunswick, died at his brotherin-law, Fred Johnson’s residence, last Saturday. He was sent home after being pronounced incurable by physicians at a hospital in Duluth. Several Mora parties who have returned from the great fair in Chicago, are fast gaining the reputation as biggest liars in creation.

A person who has not the courage to reveal his or her name to the publisher should never send anything in for publication.

This is a move in the right direction. 100 YEARS AGO (1918) “Boys Receive Tobacco:” About a year ago a collection of $20 was taken up at the pool hall in this village, to be a part of the Minneapolis Journal fund with which tobacco was to be purchased for our soldiers in France. Last Saturday evening, Wm. Tomson received several cards from boys in the trenches announcing the arrival of the tobacco and thanking him for same. We understand several other cards have been received by citizens. “W. C. T. U:” The W. C. T. U. met at the home of Mrs. J. Cook; 11 were present.

The vote was 1336 in favor to 489 against. The vote on the question of issuing bonds fell off somewhat, there being 1246 yes votes to 503 no’s. Less than half a normal vote was cast. The village of Mora and the nearby townships cast almost a solid vote in favor of the hospital. The southern tier of townships expressed opposition to the proposal. Kroschel cast only two votes in favor. The adjoining town of Ford, on the other hand, voted solidly in favor. Convenience to Mora appears to have been a deciding factor in the minds of most of the voters. The county board meets October 19, when it is expected that an architect will be employed to prepare plans and steps taken to acquire. “Mora Football Squad Defeated At Cambridge:” Cambridge’s smashing football eleven soundly trounced a

hard fighting Mora squad 32-0 on Cambridge’s field Friday night, Oct. 1. Cambridge controlled the game from the start, as in the first quarter, Kolsrud, right end for Cambridge, made the first touchdown. From then on Cambridge continued on the road to victory, outclassing the Bluedevils and crossing the goal four more times during the game. Jeffrie and Arneson, both halfbacks, were Cambridge’s key men, with Gaugh and Mattson playing fine games for Mora. Cambridge’s line charged hard and fast, and was one of the main reasons for Mora’s defeat. The Bluedevils’ blocking seemed ineffective against the white-jerseyed Cambridge men as they sift through the interference time and again to lay the Mora backfield low behind the scrimmage lines. Bob Thorne and Wayne Beck played a very good line game under the circumstances, with Loren Rogne and Bill Theis showing their fight in their positions along with the rest of the boys. Mora’s showing wasn’t so bad considering Cambridge’s experience and smoothness, and the Bluedevils will be out with a fighting spirit for the next game. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “A Step At A Time; Union Street Spruces Up:” Bit by bit Union street is getting a face lifting. Just completed are new marquees over the Anthony Mora Clothing and Nelson Variety store entrances on the west side of south Union and a new marquee over the Stenstrom Jewelry store on the east side of south Union. Next week workmen are expecting to install a new marquee at the Hall Drug company. Anthony’s also revamped their display windows--they now are carpeted in dark green providing a colorful background for clothing displayed in the window “Lions Club to Sell Light Bulbs:” The Mora Lions club is now planning its annual door-to-door light bulb sale.

Every householder can use light bulbs--this drive provides an opportunity to get a good supply while helping with a most worthy cause.

injuries:” A Kanabec County Sheriff’s Department deputy and a trooper from the Minnesota State Patrol were both treated for injuries and released last Sunday, after an explosion from a burning house northwest of Quamba hurled flying debris their way. According to Gene Anderson of the Mora Fire Department, the attic and walls of the old house was burning “probably two to three hours” before the occupants, a woman and her four children, smelled smoke. By the time firefighters arrived, Anderson said the upstairs area was extremely hot. A “small backdraft” in the upstairs area eventually occurred, which produced the explosion. Mora firefighters spent about 3 1/2 hours at the scene. The house, with the renters’ belongings, was a total loss. “An opportunity for Mora to show off; International Vasa Skiing Exchange is Feb. 10-13:” Every Mora Vasaloppet U.S.A., it seems, has developed its own identity. From the first race in 1973, a humble beginner in which only 96 skiers participated, through last year, when Minnesotans Kevin Brochman, of Stillwater, and Jan Guenther, of Wayzata, repeated as winners of the 58-kilometer trail, each celebration has provided a refreshing new chapter in the Vasaloppet storybook. Never, though, will that tradition be more evident than in 1994, the year in which the three Vasaloppets hold just their second-ever International Vasa Skiing Exchange conference, Feb. 10-13 in Mora, Minn. What exactly is a Vasa Skiing Exchange? Well, to start with, it’s “...three nations linked by a Vasaloppet ski heritage and committed to cultural understanding among nations.” When the three Vasaloppets -- Swedish, dating back to 1922; American, to 1973; and Japanese, 1981 -- held the first Vasa Skiing Exchange at a conference during the March 1990 Asahikawa (Japan) Vasa Ski, representatives from the three nations signed a joint declaration in which they agreed to principles of cooperation, to the promotion of Vasaloppet races, and to help provide cultural understanding among nations.

Christians are not perfect; God offers forgiveness

am not a big fan of bumper stickers. It’s not because I think they ruin a car’s value, even if they are holding a rusty car together. No, it’s because to read them, you need to get way too close to the car in front of you. Then you find out it says “If you can read this, you’re too close!” But there is one bumper sticker that I see every now and Focus on then that I think is the best I’ve seen. It says, Faith “Christians are not perfect, just forgiven.” Anthony Cloose This is most certainly true. Yet there are people who think Christians are perfect, and there may even be some

Christians who think they are perfect. God, though, reminds us that we Christians are not perfect of ourselves. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). In our fallen state, we have difficulty not thinking about self, even in doing good, for often, we do good works to show people how good we are. Good works can even be very harmful to us. As the bumper sticker says, we are not perfect, but God does forgive us. He does not desire that we should remain in our sinful state, so He has provided salvation for us in His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus has taken upon Himself all our self-centered thoughts and actions. He has claimed them as His own. And He suffered and died because of them. He has removed those sins from our record. “He who knew no sin became

sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). We receive this give of Christ’s forgiveness through the faith in Christ and His work of salvation that God gives us. As we hear God’s Word, as we hear about Christ’s work of salvation, the Holy Spirit produces in us that faith God wants us to have. It is truly “By grace you have been saved, through faith, not by your doing, it is the gift of God, not by works, so no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation is all God’s work, and this is good, because we are sure and certain it is good enough. Now you may see how “good works” might be bad. If we think that good works bring about our salvation, we are rejecting God’s work of salvation. We are attempting to work our way to the

Father by going around Christ Jesus. Yet He is “The way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through” Him (John 14:6). For we are “justified by faith apart from works of the law” (Romans 3:28). So truly Christians are not perfect (I know I’m not), but we are forgiven. Yet we do not want to take this forgiveness as a license to continue in our self-centered works, but rather use our works to thank and praise God for the gift He has given us in Jesus Christ. Because God has given us such a great gift, we wish to share that gift, that you, too, may know the wonderful gift God has for you in Christ Jesus. ANTHONY CLOOSE is the pastor at Zion Lutheran Church in Mora.

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH:

Quality Disposal Systems Christine Kaye: Even when my neighborhood was half under water, the trash still got picked up on schedule! Melissa Holmes VanderVegt: They delivered a dumpster to us on a Saturday of a holiday weekend with a day’s notice, they are the best! Sarah Hager: We have had Quality since we moved here nine years ago. I have only called them one time to ask about a broken garbage can, and if we needed to notify them. They already had a replacement on the way before I even called! Kathryn Lindgren: [Quality was] so terrific to me when my husband was dying. [They] came up the drive way (a distance) to pick up my trash. And, when it came to my house being sold, [they] took everything I was unable to get rid of. [Quality is] the best of the best! God bless! Sue Doty: We had an instance where we forgot to put our garbage out. We heard the truck coming, my husband struggled to get shoes on and run out to place it near road. Then, the awesome driver had come up and grabbed our can and emptied it! That goes above and beyond. Great service! Shanna Rogers: We have had Quality for 18 years. The service has always been outstanding and the prices have always been very reasonable. On the days we have forgotten to put the can out the guys have so graciously walked up to get it. When the bigger companies came into town with “better” offers we did not think twice about staying with Quality. Honest and reliable, two qualities that make Quality the best! Tish Perry: Been with Quality Disposal for many years. They have had two of the sweetest customer service ladies, Joanne and Lia. Never was it so fun to pay a bill! They have always picked up our community’s trash with timeliness and courtesy, no matter the weather. Great crew! David Anderson: I have had Quality at my home and many businesses for many years. They have been wonderful, but my best story is when I had a skunk in a trash barrel. Jason Kadlec came by to empty the trash and asked what I was doing . . . he proceeded to coax the skunk out of the barrel and send him on his way. I was so thankful. That is above and beyond.

uality Disposal Systems (Quality) has been providing garbage service for the people of Kanabec County since 1996, when Matt Pflugi purchased the Ogilvie division of Vasko Rubbish Removal. Vasko bought Kanabec Disposal in 1994 from Doug Buckley. “Provide the services that we would want provided to us” is the motto on which the company bases its service. The company currently operates a fleet of six trucks with seven full-time employees and one part-time. The employees are a family who smile and like their jobs, which sets them apart from larger trash haulers. Lia, Jason and Marv run the office and the shop, providing the face to the company. The go-to guy for filling in any needed gaps is Dan, who can do almost anything. Bill, Scott and Corey are “the best garbage men in the world,” taking great pride in their jobs. William is the new guy, who comes with roll-off experience and is learning the area every day. “Quality is a product of passion, love and joy. Our family and the staff, like what we do and how we do it,” Pflugi said. “It is a reflection of us and our concern and love for the people in our community. We are not perfect, and we know it, but we do give our everything in making things right.” Although other companies may be larger than Quality, they don’t have the Quality team or the personal touch provided by the company. “We provide the customer service that keeps our residents lifelong customers,” Pflugi said. “The larger companies know their customers as an account number – we know them by their names and faces.” Quality’s commitment to customer service is evident when asking customers what they think about their trash hauler. Resounding themes in their comments are the friendly service, going above and beyond for their customers, and longevity of service.

Linda Rutherford Knosalla: I was so relieved when Quality was able to take my monthly payment right out of my checking account, and I am sure they were, too. It seemed I could never remember to drop my payment off on time, even though I passed Ogilvie every couple of days. Sheepishly, I would go into the office, check in hand, and with a pleading hound-dog look, hold the check up. The person in the office would smile and treat me so kindly while I explained that the amount was so small, and the distance was so short, that I always relied on my intentions to get it in there. She truly kept the genuine smile, and it gave a chance to chat a little. Understanding of the forgetful mind goes a long way. Debra Carpenter Venhuizen: We think Quality is a great garbage company. But, our dog Dakota, a springer spaniel, absolutely loves our driver. She generally does not like trucks (UPS, Fed X, propane trucks, etc.), but she loves the garbage truck because our driver has bribed her into loving him because he gives her dog treats. Even if she is not outside to greet him, he leaves a couple treats by the can, and she can’t wait to get outside to enjoy her treats. She never forgets they are out there, either. She gets so excited when she sees the truck coming, it is fun to watch.

Elizabeth Lang: I live just over the border in Pine County and wanted service. Lia said if I could get three people on Sherwood to switch they would come down my road. I got out my homemade cranberry sauce, and got five neighbors total to switch - two who didn’t have any service prior. With the first month free and two weeks free for every referral, I didn’t have a garbage bill for quite some time! I love Quality!

David Youngquist: I’ve seen Quality drivers get out of their trucks and go up to the house to collect a can for the elderly and differently-abled on their routes. They are always friendly and helpful. They wave to you like you’re their neighbors (probably because they are). All of Quality’s employees must feel like they’re part of the biggest family.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Eva Holmgren | Freshman Sponsored by: CarQuest www.CarQuest.com From the Coach: “Eva led the girls with a third place finish at Pierz. She ran a huge personal best time with a 20:24 and beat a lot of girls for the first time ever. Took third at the Pierz Stampede and finished ahead of girls she had never beat before. She ran her best time ever, 20:24, but more importantly she ran with confidence and believed in herself throughout the race.” — Coach Chris Goebel Favorite thing about sports: The people, I have friends here that I like to run with. Person who has influenced you: Johanna Schwinghamer and Lily Peterson, they showed me how to run and give me good coaching, and Michelle Ostien is funny.

me How do you prepare for a game or meet?: Drink water and eat ps and applesauce so I don’t get cramps a lot of stretching and talking with teammates. n Highlight of athletic career: In eighth grade I went from junior at high to varsity in one season, that was fun. Monday’s meet I had my personal best, it was cool outside and I liked the course and decided to go for it, I didn’t even know I was running that fast until I heard Michelle yelling for me. I came in third. Future goals: Going to state, I really want a state sweatshirt. KIM LUECK-FOSS | TIMES

Cooper Lennox | Junior | Mora Cross Country Running From the Coach: “Cooper has won three meets this season. (Milaca Early Bird, Mora Invite and Pierz). He won the Mora Invite and the Pierz Stampede by over 30 seconds. Cooper is very ﬁt and believes in his abilities. In both races he got out to an early lead and never looked back. He ran his second fastest time ever with a 16:28.” — Coach Chris Goebel Favorite thing about sports: Team bonding, and I really like the competition. Person who has inﬂuenced you: Coach Goebel and my parents, they inspire me to do my best.

How do you prepare for a game or meet?: Drink lots of water, stay hydrated, talk to my team about strategy, eat the same diet, listen to music on the bus, walk the course to make a plan, prepare myself physically and mentally and stretching. Highlight of athletic career: Last year I placed eighth at state as an individual and both eighth and ninth grade we won at state as a team. Future goals: Going to college for four years, still undecided in what ﬁeld but I want to participate in athletics. Somewhere on the east coast where I can cross country ski.

Minnesota offers Real ID cards Question: Can you explain the new Real ID and Driver’s License process in Minnesota? Answer: REAL ID is a federal requirement that establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards. Minnesota has a few identificaAsk A tion options from which residents Trooper may choose. DeNeil Dickenson termining which type of license or ID card works best depends on what a person needs to use the card for. Minnesota Standard Driver’s License or ID card can be used as a valid form of identification and for lawful driving privileges. These cards are also an acceptable form of ID for domestic air travel and to access federal facilities until Oct. 1, 2020. Beginning Oct. 1, Minnesotans will be able to apply for a REAL ID-compliant card, but they will have two years to obtain one if they choose. A new driver’s services system capable of issuing them will go live on Oct. 1. That means Minnesotans will be able to use their standard licenses and ID cards for federal purposes, including boarding domestic flights, until Oct. 1, 2020.

MNDOT | SUBMITTED

A sample of the REAL ID card.

Since there is no need to obtain a REAL ID at this time, state officials are suggesting that residents wait to apply unless they need to change their name or address, or renew their current license. This will help ease the transition to the new card and reduce wait times. A pre-application feature will allow Minnesotans to enter a significant portion of their driver’s license or ID card application online – including REAL ID applications reducing the time spent in driver’s license offices. An online tool to help Minnesotans decide which of the state’s three license options best meets their needs: a standard driver’s license or ID card, a REAL ID-compliant license or ID card,

or an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) or ID card (EID).

Donation expands high school ﬁtness offerings BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Mora High School completed an expansion of its fitness areas this summer with the help of volunteers and donated equipment. Adjacent to the weight room are two new fitness rooms that contain treadmills, stationary bikes and weight machines. In conjunction with the weight room, the high school has, in essence, its own fitness center for students and staff. Mora High School received a donation of approximately $150,000 worth of equipment from the St. Paul Jewish Community Center. The JCC was looking to remodel their existing fitness center and part of the remodel was getting all brand new equipment. The JCC just had the grand re-opening Sunday, Sept. 30, and the new fitness center was part of it. Head football coach Troy Erickson explained the process: “The janitor at JCC is originally from Moose Lake. He heard about the FirstLight Wellness Center in Mora and thought we’d be interested in the free

Approximately $150,000 worth of ﬁtness equipment was donated to Mora High School.

equipment. Even though our wellness center does not have a fitness center we jumped at the opportunity to receive this equipment as we thought we could use it at the high school. “The only cost to the school was the rental of a couple of U-Hauls and the time it took to get the equipment, disassemble it, bring it to Mora, and reassemble it. We brought a group of 15 to 20 kids down last

spring to get the equipment. It was then stored in the Mora Civic Center until this summer when we could get it all up to the high school. “A couple of rooms next to the weight room were available due to a teacher retiring and another teacher leaving the district. The classes that were in those rooms were able to be relocated. “Dale Strelow, who does a lot

for our district, really spearheaded the operation of putting all the equipment together this past summer in those two rooms.” Students, athletes and staff will have access before and after school. The weight training and the empowering women classes also make use of the rooms. The regular physical education classes will be able to take advantage of the rooms

as well. Coach Erickson went on to say, “The addition of these spaces have freed up space and allowed us to add other items such as the plyometric area that, in the future, will include resistance bands. Free weight areas also have more space, in the future there will be more squat/bench weight racks and platforms for cleans and deadlifts. The rooms are getting a good amount of use throughout the day, and it will probably increase as more students are exposed to the spaces.” Coach Erickson is looking forward to the rooms improving over time, “Having the equipment available was our number one priority this year, now that it is here and being used we can make improvements as we go. There are still improvements we would like to make with the spaces, but getting the equipment in and up and running was the important thing this summer. In the future, we would like to add TVs for cardio space to give it a fitness center feel. The Nautilus area is in need of some speakers that connect back to the weight room system.”

SEPT. 28 AT MOOSE LAKE/WILLOW RIVER Mora stayed undefeated with a convincing victory over a good Moose Lake/Willow River team. The Mustangs (ranked No. 5 in the state in the latest class AAA polls) improved to 5-0. “Jonathan Smith broke the Mora single game rushing record with his 332 yards. The previous record was 316 yards held by Jim Nelson in 1976. He also broke the career touchdown record on his last touchdown giving him 37. The previous record was held by Noah Foster with 36.

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS October 2, 2018 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 Oct. 2, 2018. Mora: Conservation Officer Mike Krauel spent the week checking waterfowl hunters and working archery hunters. He also checked several anglers. Krauel also took several calls about possible shining violations. Enforcement action was taken for lead shot, no life jackets and angling with an extra line. Hinckley: Conservation officer Bret Grundmeier patrolled state forest areas for ATV riders, bear hunters and small-game hunters. He also checked anglers out trying their luck with fall fishing. While watching a fishing pier from a distance, two individuals kept bringing out more rods and eventually had four lines cast out into the lake. The anglers admitted their frustration with not catching any fish as the reason for using more fishing poles than allowed. Trespassing cases were also finished up involving hunters on ATVs getting caught on trail camera operating on private property without permission. Pine City: Conservation officer Eugene Wynn spent the week checking anglers, hunters, and ATV complaint areas. He followed up on a dumping complaint, trespassing complaint, and answered questions on upcoming hunting seasons.

Cypress Ave. repairs planned BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

In two discussions eight days apart, the Braham City Council created and then modified a plan to repair a section of South Cypress Avenue. On Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018, City Engineer Brian Miller explained to the council that some of the soils under South Cypress need to be replaced. He said that the east side of the block is pretty firm, but the west side is still very spongy and that recent hail storms and rainfalls haven’t allowed the materials to dry out and firm up. Miller went on to state that the trench underneath Cypress between 3rd and 4th Streets SE isn’t settling down, and is also spongy. • Two options were presented on Sept. 4: • A bituminous base course, costing around $7,500 and potentially experiencing settlement and roadway breakup. Leaving the surface to settle, restoring it with gravel and paving it next year. Miller noted that this second option would cost less, but would not be popular with area residents: if snow falls before winter frost, gravel is unsafe to plow. The council voted unanimously to authorize sufficient modifications to the corner of 4th and Cypress to make the road usable, and wait until spring to deal with the sections between 4th and 3rd Streets. A second meeting took place on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018, attended

by several residents of the Cypress Avenue area. Miller explained the rationale behind the council’s decision: a choice between paving it and seeing what happens, or shaping it up and leaving it as is until spring. He also stated that with recent dry weather the road was more firm than originally observed. Many community members voiced concerns about the “sacrificial” expense of a layer of bituminous before winter if it would only break up; while many others dealing with road, yard and driveway issues wanted the layer of bituminous before winter. Miller stated that, according to Minnesota construction restrictions, bituminous cannot be laid after Aug. 31 without the city engineer’s approval, and that the contract deadline for completion is mid-October. Mayor Tish Carlson asked Miller for his recommendation. He advised that the city prep the road and put down at least one layer of bituminous on the section of South Cypress between 3rd and 4th Streets; and that if the road is firm enough, to proceed with both layers of bituminous. He stated that both would be used if only a small area of the street was a problem, but not if a large area had potential for settling. The council then voted unanimously to rescind the Sept. 4 motion to let the road settle over the winter, and to accept the recommendation of the city engineer regarding paving South Cypress

from 3rd Street to 8th Street. In other Sept. 4 activity: • The council adopted the 2019 Preliminary Levy, in the amount of $620,559. This is an increase of $13,629, a 2.25 percent increase over last year. • The council also adopted the city’s 2019 preliminary budget and salary schedule. The salary schedule included a two percent increase overall. The preliminary budget included general fund revenues and expenses equaling $1,182,293; total revenues equaling $4,083,876; and total expenses equaling $4,031,983. • The council voted unanimously to approve Draft Ordinance 282, first presented at the August meeting. To comply with state regulations the city is required to enact requirements for water restrictions, if declared by an Executive Order of the Governor. The draft ordinance was drafted from a model ordinance provided by the League of Minnesota Cities, and was made available for review at City Hall. • The council set the date for the annual Truth-in-Taxation meeting for 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2018, to be followed by the regular meeting. The next city council meeting has been rescheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2018, at City Hall, to allow ample time to request sealed bids for roof replacements on city buildings.

Braham school board moves to reduce debt BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Braham Area School Board took steps to reduce the local property tax burden and lower its interest rate owed by selling two general obligation bonds, just as the 2018 operating levy referendum nears a vote. On Monday, Sept. 17, 2018, Greg Crowe from Ehlers, Inc., the school district’s municipal financial adviser, outlined two resolutions to sell the bonds, totaling $3,515,000. Crowe estimated that the sale will save the district $85,000, decrease the interest rate owed and reduce the property tax burden. The board voted unanimously to approve the refinancing plans. Ehlers will present the results of the sale at the October board meeting.

In other school board activity: • The school district’s annual Truth-in-Taxation Public Hearing has been scheduled as part of the regular school board meeting at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 17 at the high school. • Public presentations to discuss the upcoming operating levy referendum were announced for the month of October. Sessions are scheduled for: -Friday, Oct. 5, 9:00 a.m. at Braham Area High School -Monday, Oct. 8, 6:30 p.m. at Braham Area High School -Tuesday, Oct. 16, 6:30 p.m. at Braham Area High School -Thursday, Oct. 25, 12:45 p.m. at Nessel Township Hall • The board voted to authorize the maximum allowable amount for the 2018 proposed property tax levy. It is commonplace among Minnesota school

districts to initially approve the largest allowable preliminary levy as a “placeholder” by the annual September deadline. When tax levies are formally approved in December, districts can opt for the number they certified in the fall or a smaller one. This initial levy amount may be affected by the results of the bond referendum in November. • Braham Activities Director Shawn Kuhnke reported that this fall’s school activity participation numbers are comparable to those from 2017, and some are even higher. And Superintendent Ken Gagner reported that K-12 enrollment surpassed last school year’s total by 16 students. The next school board meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, at the high school.

“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.”

107 Park St. S., Mora, MN 55051

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

Seth Lindberg paints mural in Ogilvie Former Ogilvie student and 2018 graduate, Seth Lindberg, has been busy painting murals in the Ogilvie Public School. His most recent project is a 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by 27â&#x20AC;&#x2122; painting in the hallway by the choir room with a musical note theme. Seth chose black for the 5-bar staff and two tones of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ogilvie orangeâ&#x20AC;? for the smaller notes. The light gray treble clef alone is nine feet tall.
