Memory events offer comfort to individuals with dementia STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
A comforting touch or a kind word — sometimes it’s the smallest moments that bring the most comfort. “To those diagnosed with dementia these actions could be the difference between feeling isolated and realizing that they are cherished individuals,” said Michelle Thomas, Family Pathways director of marketing and communications. These caring actions are exactly why Family Pathways created its Reflections Memory Café in August 2017. A Memory Cafe isn’t a place, but a regularly occurring event in Mora where those Michelle Thomas diagnosed with demenFamily Pathways tia can participate in activities, conversation and receive information that supports living a meaningful life while living with dementia. A Memory Cafe not only provides for those living with dementia, but offers resources to caregivers who support someone diagnosed with dementia. The first memory cafe was started in Holland

Farmers report disappointing soybean harvest, record corn yields BY TERRY SALMELA NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
Following Thanksgiving, most farmers had their soybeans harvested, but were battling the wet weather and fields to finish their corn harvest. “It has been a difficult harvest,” said John Swanson, Sales Agronomist for Federated Co-op based in Ogilvie. “Soybean yields have been above average, but not as good as expected. On the other hand, corn yields are very good everywhere and farmers in the Mora and surrounding area have had their best corn crop in history.” This is the third very wet growing season in a row. The entire growing season was wet except for a short stretch in August. “There were plenty of heat units to get the crops to mature with very good quality,” said Nancy Rys who farms with her husband Tom east of Rock Creek. They have a grain
drying and storage business for 20 area farmers and a Pioneer Hybrid dealership. Despite the wet growing season, Rys said that corn yields were amazingly good at 20-25 percent above average with excellent grain quality. She has seen corn test weights from 5759 lbs./bu. (the standard is 5556 lbs./bu.) while last year she had seen a lot of test weights in the low 50s. Roger Peterson, district sales manager for Gold Country Seeds said, “Most of the soybeans finally got harvested. They looked good during the season, but everyone was disappointed with their yields. What looked like 70 bushels per acre earlier was 50 at harvest time. The average was in the low 40s with some at 60. Something was wrong.” Swanson agreed. He said that as the saying goes, ‘soybeans are made in August.’ “That is when we had a short dry period,” he added. “Also, a lot NEWS 320-679-2661 editor@moraminn.com

according to Peterson. In fields that were managed well with timely planting, weed control and nitrogen applications the yields ranged from 160 bushels per acre to 260 bushels per acre The heavy rains including the 8 1/2 inches in three hours SUBSCRIPTIONS 320-679-2661 subscriptions@moraminn.com
in the area that included the 12 1/2 inches that caused flooding in Mora in July leached nitrogen out of the soil. So, a late nitrogen application this summer was needed to optimize corn yields. On the other hand, in fields where there wasn’t timely nitrogen applied, both Peterson and Swanson have seen where anthracnose was a major disease problem. Water hemp has become a very common and major weed problem in this area especially in soybeans. It can produce one million seeds per plant so it can spread faster than any other weed. Bevan Beck who raises corn, soybeans and wheat with his son Mike south of Ogilvie said that it has been a good growing season. “The harvest seems like it will never get done,” he said. “It’s been a tough fall with a lot of crops harvested SEE HARVEST, PAGE 7

Headlights about being seen- not blinded Question: Is it illegal to flash my high beams at another driver that is approaching me with their high beams on? When it’s dark, drizzling, raining and or snowing, I see vehicles that don’t have their lights on. Please remind everyone who reads your column to use their lights and remind them that they can be ticketed, right?? Answer: Headlight use or non-use is one of the most common questions/ Ask A concerns that I receive. You are correct, violations Trooper of these laws can result in Neil Dickenson a citation being issued. Minnesota state law says that when the driver of a vehicle approaches a vehicle within 1,000 feet, such driver shall use a distribution of light, or composite beam, so aimed that the glaring rays are not projected into the eyes
of the oncoming driver. I do understand why drivers would want to temporarily flash their high beams to notify someone that their high beams may be on, but it is illegal. It is suggested that if you encounter a vehicle approaching you with glaring lights to not look directly at the lights and use the white line along the edge of the road as a reference. If a vehicle approaches you from behind with high beams on, try not to look directly into your rearview mirrors. The law that covers this says that the driver of a vehicle following another vehicle within 200 feet to the rear, except when engaged in the act of overtaking and passing, such driver shall use a distribution of light or low beams. Please pay attention to all your surroundings all of the time while driving and make sure you use your high beams only when other vehicles are not in sight. I also notice far too many vehicles driving without headlights on and/or no
tail lights on when visibility is reduced by weather or darkness. The state law says that every vehicle upon a highway within this state: at any time from sunset to sunrise; at any time when it is raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing; and at any other time when visibility is impaired by weather, smoke, fog or other conditions or there is not sufficient light to render clearly discernible persons and vehicles on the highway at a distance of 500 feet ahead; shall display lighted headlamps, lighted tail lamps and illuminating devices. Manually turn on your headlights as your vehicle’s automatic lights activation system might not activate during daytime hours when it is raining, snowing or foggy. During the day, it is not all about what you can see, it is about being seen as well. SERGEANT NEIL DICKENSON is Minnesota State Patrol public information officer for the state’s northeast region.
Teach kids the dangers of ice CONTRIBUTED MN DNR
MN DNR | SUBMITTED
A father explains the potential dangers of thin ice to his two young children.
Now is the time to talk with kids about the dangers of ice. Ice thickness varies greatly on lakes, ponds and rivers throughout the state. Some water bodies have none, while others have several inches, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “Ice, especially early ice with snow cover, is extremely deceptive because you can’t see dangerous cracks or the thickness of the ice under the snow,” said DNR Conservation Officer Adam Block. “Parents need to teach their kids that ice is never 100 percent safe. If your child is near the ice, you should
be near your child.” With many children out of school for holiday breaks, they may look toward newly forming ice for entertainment. “In addition to checking conditions locally and being prepared with an ice safety kit, anyone recreating on ice should be wearing a life jacket or float coat,” said Lisa Dugan, DNR recreation safety outreach coordinator. “A life jacket is the one piece of equipment that increases your odds of not drowning from cold water shock, hypothermia or exhaustion should you fall through the ice.” For more information, visit mndnr.gov/icesafety and mndnr.gov/boatingsafety.
ICE SAFETY GUIDELINES
No ice can ever be considered “safe ice ice,”” but these guidelines can help minimize the risk: Always wear a life jacket on the ice (except when in a vehicle). Children should never be unsupervised around ice. Caution children to stay off ponds, streams and other bodies of water. A thin coating of ice on a pond or lake does not mean it is safe. Check ice thickness at regular intervals – conditions can change quickly. Before heading out, inquire about conditions and known hazards with local experts. Avoid channels and rivers. The minimum ice thickness guidelines for new, clear ice are: • 4 inches for ice fishing or other activities on foot. • 5-7 inches for a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle. • 8-12 inches for a car or small pickup. • 12-15 inches for a medium truck. • Double these minimums for white or ice covered with heavy snow.

Businesses make downtown truly dazzling
T
he local Small Business Saturday events in downtown Mora this year were spectacular. Not only were they well put on by organizers, but they were also well attended. It has been several years since some of these have begun, and I can see they are really starting to build momentum. It’s a brave thing to start a new event. Some grow. Some fizzle. This one dazzles. I have to hand it to those working with the Mora Area Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, volunteers, fire departments and others who made Editor the many events of Dala Dazzle Kirsten Faurie really come together. I particularly want to thank h h came out for the events and showed those who their support by choosing to shop small. I spoke to several small business owners who said they’ve seen these event gaining momentum and they have benefited from the business. As I watched the lighted Santa Parade that evening, I overheard a woman proudly remark to the man beside her, “Wow! This is our town!” Things are looking up in Mora. With each year I am happy to see new businesses moving in or expanding, particularly those who have invested in their storefronts and made renovations that keep our town looking vibrant. The citizens of Mora should feel proud of where they live. I know I am.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Commissioners should carefully consider shorelands To the editor, Some time ago, the DNR/ State of MN developed State statutes to protect shorelands of lakes and rivers in Minnesota that addressed the increasingly deteriorating water quality in the state. Kanabec County, along with every other county in the state, adopted these regulations for the common good. Kanabec County created Ordinance No. 5 to reflect these rules in our county. Occasionally, slight changes were made to further protect our waters. Some time ago, the question was put to the Planning Commission, “do we want to make any changes to the Ordinance No. 5?” They voted one aye and six nays to making any changes. It has been on the agenda at every meeting since. The push for change is to relax regulations and to allow more impervious surface and more potential harm to our lakes. Since we are already on the “Impaired Waters” list for most of Kanabec County’s lakes and rivers, it is a mystery to me what the logical reason could possibly be to spend so much time and effort on something that cannot possibly do our waterways any good. I hope that this isn’t something that is going to be pushed through for the benefit of the few, at the cost of the many. There is plenty of open land available for commercial development in the county (our industrial park, for one) without further threatening our waterways with potentially harmful effect that everyone has been working so hard to improve. I would ask our commissioners to please consider carefully the many and pay close attention to the direction they want to go. Rob Schloemer Mora

QUOTABLES Thanks for festive small business Saturday To the editor, I would like to send out a big thank you to the Mora Chamber of Commerce for the wonderful job they did promoting small business Saturday. My husband, Tim and I had great time participating in the scavenger hunt. We went in to stores that we had never been in before, we ate at a restaurant that we had never been in before, we bought some Christmas gifts and some treats for ourselves, we enjoyed the warm atmosphere and the friendly people. The streets and stores were decorated in a festive fashion, the fire pits were a welcome warm up stop along the way to the next store and the parade ended the day in grand fashion. Seeing all the trucks decorated and lit up brought me back to my childhood. I got tears in my eyes when I saw the truck from the Blaine, Spring Lake Park, Mounds View department, my dad was a battalion chief at their station 3 many years ago. The weather was somewhat cooperative, the wind was nippy but it could have been worse. We could have had three feet of snow or it could have been raining, but us Minnesotans are a hardy bunch and a little cool breeze won’t keep us inside away from the festivities. We went home feeling warm and festive and I even won some chamber bucks. Downtown Mora has many one-of-a-kind shops filled with unique items. I highly recommend the shopping experience. So, thanks again to the Chamber, great job, I can’t wait till next year. Kim Lueck-Foss Ogilvie

Prevailing malady puzzles local teachers 125 YEARS AGO (1893) R. W. Safford, editor of the Kanabec Times, has been appointed postmaster at Mora. The Journal-Press is always pleased to see the newspaper boys taken care of by the party power.---St. Cloud Journal Press. Mrs. I. C. Crusoe, gave a select party last Saturday night in honor of the anniversary News from of Miss Lizzie Blank’s birthday. A Yesteryear good many young attended Matt Anderson people and enjoyed themselves very much. The party came in the nature of a surprise to Miss Blank. Hon. Aug. J. Anderson, of Taylors Falls welcomed his first-born on the 15th of November. It was of the opposite sex from the Hon. Aug, but its politics may in time be the same. A young man, whose name we did not learn, was brought down from McKinnon’s camp last week, with a fractured skull. He was taken to the headquarters where he died the next morning. He was taken home to Maple Ridge for burial. Mr. Morrison began service on his new bus line yesterday. The line will be of great convenience to our citizens and as he has made a very liberal fare we believe that it will be patronized by all. The grand charity ball has come and gone and like all other entertainments of the kind was a social success. Although the night was cold about thirty couples participated in the ball. The music was led by Mr. Joseph Nokes, of Princeton, in his usual proficient manner. The supper prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Morrison was excellent. The whole affair deserves more elaborate mention than we have time this week to make. 100 YEARS AGO (1918) The M. E. A. not being able to hold their annual meeting on account of the prevailing malady is now asking membership fees for the year. There is no question but the association is of actual benefit to all teachers and each teacher should become a member. As the usual time for accepting membership fees is at the annual meeting, and that meeting not being held, it remains for the patriotic and loyal teachers to send the secretary their annual dues. A circular letter from the Department answers a few questions that are in the minds of nearly every teacher. When the school has been closed by the local health officer or the board, because of an epidemic,
the teachers are legally entitled to their salary as tho teaching, if they are at all times ready and willing to perform their services. They cannot be compelled to make up the time so lost; but if the teachers voluntarily agree to make up the lost time, they cannot demand extra pay. The method of making up lost time would depend largely upon the time lost. Perhaps the most common way would be to use vacation and holidays to the utmost, and if necessary continue school beyond the regular time of closing in the spring. Teaching Saturdays is of questionable value. 75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Kanabec County Rural Teachers’ Institute Held; Speakers from State Department of Education Address Gathering Here:” The Kanabec county teachers’ institute was held in Mora Monday and Tuesday. Rural teachers from all parts of the county attended and received instructions and suggestions which should help them in their work. “XMAS PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN DECEMBER 11; Mora Business Group Will Entertain Youngsters With Picture Show and Program:” Mora business people will provide the usual Christmas program for the children this year, it was decided at a meeting of the Business Men’s Association held Tuesday evening. The day set for the entertainment of the young folks is Saturday, December 11. There will be two appropriate picture programs at the Mora Theatre during the day. The first will start at 12 noon, after which there will be a program in the high school auditorium followed by the distribution of bags containing apples and other goodies. The second show will follow this event. Santa Claus will be in Mora all day. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “3 Fire Departments Called...; Fire at Lakeland Dairies Does $30,000 Damage Monday:” Fire broke out in the original feed department building of the Lakeland Dairies early Monday evening and did an estimated $30,000 damage before it was brought under control by the Mora, Braham, and Ogilvie fire departments. The brick building, constructed in 1926-27, was used mainly for storage. The fire was mainly in the old office which contained milk filter disks and other items. Flames apparently followed the wires into the second floor. Firemen had to climb a ladder to knock out the glass in the second floor windows in order to get water to the fire there.
The fire started from an electric box. A fuse blew out and Lee Oestreich started to replace it. There was an explosion followed by fire. Oestreich was burned about the hands and had minor burns on his face. He was kept at Kanabec hospital overnight for observation. With Oestreich in the room at the time of the explosion were Plant Manager Bob Jacobson, Darris Loose and Dave Sleiter. “Mora, McGrath Schools View Consolidation:” The Mora school board held a special meeting Monday, Nov. 4, for the purpose of discussing future consolidation plans. Superintendent Kastner and six school board members from the McGrath school district met with the Mora board to consider future consolidation of the two districts. A lengthy discussion was held but definite plans could not be made at that time. Future meetings will be held to discuss the matter. 25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Courthouse: More addition ‘options’ presented to board:” Architect Bob Ogdahl returned to the Kanabec County Board of Commissioners last week to present more options for a courthouse addition. Ogdahl had met with various county department heads to determine their space requirements and he noted that other counties have oversight committees which review departments’ space requests before approving any plans. Ogdahl told the board that the building housing, the sheriff’s office and jail wasn’t designed for a second floor unless he ripped off the roof and strengthened the footings. “Hospital seeks to recover Medicare reimbursements; Receiving safety award on Dec. 6:” Inconsistent government regulations have cost the Kanabec Hospital in Mora about $371,000 in Medicare reimbursements, according to administrator John Kayfes, who currently is attempting to set up a meeting with U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar and Sen. Paul Wellstone to discuss ways the hospital may yet recover the money. Rural reimbursement is 15 percent less than urban reimbursement, Kayfes said, explaining that credit is given for parking ramps and other urban features rarely found at rural hospitals.

Adolescents need adoption
T
eenagers conjure up all kinds of images in our minds: Strong, energetic, techy, buoyant, independent, impulsive, emotional, adventuresome and ever-changing. They are complex human beings who need care, stability and guidance in their lives to become healthy productive adults. This is especially true for teens in foster care. They have faced significant trauma in their young lives – more than many of us can imagine. They have often come from neglectful or abusive homes. Many have witnessed their parents abusing drugs. Some have lived in inadequate housing. Human They may have mental health Services issues of their own. They are not equipped to go Emily Piper out into the world and live on their own just yet. They need healthy, stable, nurturing parents. Right now, 820 Minnesota foster children are waiting for families to adopt them. Thirty-nine percent are 12 to 18 years old. Older adolescents are some of the children most likely to enter the foster care system and most likely to stay there the longest. And, they often have younger siblings who need to be adopted with them. No one wants children to grow up in foster care. While foster care is critical to providing temporary care to children when their families work through crises, we want them to return safely home or find another permanent home through adoption. That is our responsibility at the Minnesota Department of Human Services, but we need your help to accomplish that. In 2017, nearly 16,600 Minnesota children were in foster care. Of those who left foster care last year, 64 percent returned safely home and almost 22 percent were adopted or became part of a relative’s family through permanent, legal, physical custody. While I congratulate the families who adopted and applaud the good work of social workers who are finding permanent homes for children, we need to do more. In Minnesota, thousands of children enter our foster care system every year, and those numbers are climbing. And while our adoption numbers are increasing as well — with families adopting 955 children last year — that is due, in part, to more children entering our system. Of those 955 children, families adopted: • 498 (52 percent) children birth to 5 years old • 321 (34 percent) children 6-11 years old • 136 (14 percent) youth 12-17 years old Our goal is to find safe, nurturing, permanent homes for all foster children available for adoption as quickly as possible so they don’t linger in foster care. Our hope is that you can help us and, more importantly, the 820 children, especially adolescents, who are waiting. For more information, contact your county social services agency or MN ADOPT at www. mnadopt.org, 612-861-7115 or 866-303-6276. EMILY PIPER is commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

Grand Casino honored for providing employees with mental health education, resources CONTRIBUTED NAMI MINNESOTA
The National Alliance on Mental Illness—Minnesota presented Grand Casino - Hinckley with its Employer of the Year Award at its Annual Conference, held Nov. 3 in St. Paul. The award recognizes an employer who has demonstrated support for hiring and retaining people with mental illnesses; has taken extraordinary measures to educate its employees about mental illnesses; or has created a supportive workplace for families who have a loved one with a mental illness. NAMI Minnesota’s executive director Sue Abderholden remarked, “Over the years they have partnered with NAMI Minnesota to

bring suicide prevention classes for their employees and their community. They have a mental health resource area where employees can get information about mental illnesses and learn
how to access treatment. “Grand Casino has taken great strides to support their employee’s mental health. They developed a program called the Bridge Group where a group of employees
receive additional training so that discussions about mental illnesses and mental health are continuous.” Abderholden added, “They wear green ribbons to demonstrate their support and willingness to talk about mental illness. Around the building are quotes about the importance of mental health to raise awareness and let employees know that they can talk about it. They have even sent staff to be trained in traditional healing providing another way to support their employees’ mental health. We thank them for their great work in caring not only about their employees but their guests and the community.”
Local Christmas tree displayed at State Capitol CONTRIBUTED MN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Happy Land Tree Farm, grower of the 2018 Minnesota State Fair Grand Champion Christmas Tree, has donated a 20 foot Balsam Fir that will be displayed outside the Minnesota State Capitol Building. Happy Land not only took the Grand Champion prize at the 2018 fair, but also the Reserve Grand Champion award. This makes Happy Land a six time Minnesota State Fair Grand Champion producer. The Christmas tree is scheduled to be installed and lit by Nov. 26, 2018. Happy Land Tree Farm is a family tree farm owned and operated
by brothers Ken and Phil Olson in Sandstone, Minnesota. Ken started in the tree business in 1963 when he was 15. Happy Land has over 600 acres of coniferous and deciduous tree varieties. Happy Land Tree Farm is one of 64 Minnesota Grown Christmas tree growers. Each Minnesota Grown Christmas tree farm and grower-owned lot offers a unique setting to enjoy finding the perfect Christmas tree; many also offer free family-friendly activities like sleigh rides, visits with Santa and nature walks. By cutting a locally grown tree, families have the chance to visit a farm and learn what it takes to grow the beautiful tree that they will enjoy
this season. Christmas trees are renewable crops grown specifically for harvest. Trees can take a decade to grow to market height and are regularly clipped, as well as given water and nutrients to ensure they grow in the traditional shape. After the holiday season, Christmas trees may be recycled, as they are 100 percent natural. Visit the Minnesota Grown website to find a Christmas tree grower in your area at www.minnesotagrown.com. Call ahead or check the farm’s website before your visit for the latest news, hours of operation, and additional details.

MEMORY: HARVEST: Corn yields come in over 180 bushels per acre Cafe events support people with dementia FROM PAGE 1
FROM PAGE 1
in 1997 and the model has spread as a grassroots movement across many countries including the United States. Family Pathways developed the Reflections Memory Cafe in order to provide social interaction for those living with dementia, allow caregivers a break, and help show family and friends how to best support their loved ones. Each event offers coffee, treats and a chance to gather in a social setting with others experiencing similar circumstances. “This is a great setting for spouses, children, grandchildren and friends to continue having meaningful interactions despite the presence of dementia,” said Thomas. “Even if one of our Memory Cafés does not fit into your schedule, Family Pathways offers many avenues of help.” Family Pathways has caregiver consultants who work alongside the caregiver through their journey, helping to supply them with resources. Family Pathways also provides informational sessions called Dementia Friends. These sessions give a brief overview of dementia and techniques to help ease interactions with people experiencing dementia. Dementia Friends is also offered for workplaces and is designed to help businesses in the community become “dementia friendly.” Thomas said for those that don’t have a personal connection to dementia, there are still ways they can help support those who do. Family Pathways offers training programs for volunteers to increase their comfort level as they learn how to give back to the community by offering much needed breaks for caregivers. The Reflections Memory Cafe is held the fourth Thursday of every month at Eastwood Life Enrichment Center, Mora, from 1:30-2:30 p.m. In addition to the Mora location, Family Pathways also co-hosts a cafe event at SACS Friendship Cafe in Cambridge with a Cambridge ACT volunteer on the second Thursday of each month from 9:3010:30 a.m. For more information, visit FamilyPathways. org or call 320-364-1115.
with good yields. The weather held us back. It took forever to get started and to get on to the soybean fields.” They harvested a few hundred acres of corn before they were able to combine soybeans due to the wet fields. “I have dried more soybeans this year than ever,” he added. “Drying beans is a slow process, but we did alright. The fields have been a sloppy mess. The rain took out the frost and slowed us down because we did not want to rut up the field.” The corn moisture has been in the high teens from 17-19 percent (15 percent is optimum for storage). That’s just enough to have to run it through the dryer. Test weights were good at 56-57 lb./bu. Rys said that when soybeans
were harvested determined whether or not they needed to be dried to 13 percent moisture for storage. Early harvested soybeans were wet and had to be dried. Those harvested in mid-October did not need drying while those harvested later in wetter weather needed drying. Some soybeans that are still in the field are molding in the pods she added. She said that they were about done drying crops at their business by Thanksgiving. Corn that was harvested late was in the 18-19 percent moisture range. Because crops did not need as much drying as in previous years, she said that they used about 25 to 40 percent less propane to dry crops. Swanson said that a lot of soil sampling and fall tillage work did not get done before the
ground froze up due to the wet fields and the late harvest. Besides the wet fields another reason why there is still corn that needs combining is the lack of storage space due to the high yields and late harvest.
PRICE Rys stated that the crop price is 20-25 percent below average. She added, “There were some decent opportunities for farmers to forward contract last winter and there will be this coming winter. All eyes are on the G20 Summit this week to see what happens to the tariffs.” (On soybeans, corn, hogs and dairy.) She said, “Getting over 50 bushels per acre soybeans and over 180 bushels per acre corn yields are good yields in this area. You can’t ask for much more than that.”
Peterson speculated that next year the most profitable crop may be hay because of dry conditions in Missouri, North and South Dakota. Beck said that they combine for another farmer and custom feed 140 Holstein steers for a different farmer. It is a way to market some of their crops to livestock on the farm in addition to hauling it to the river terminal in the cities. They have found that working with a marketing specialist has helped them to lock in a price for some of their crop in advance and to be more profitable. He said that he is still having fun. Otherwise he would not be doing it. He did admit that he is getting tired of combining this season when he said, “I’m ready to look at something rather than a corn row.”
Prevent nutrient loss during winter manure applications CONTRIBUTED MN POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
Snow-covered and frozen soils make land application of manure a challenge. Producers run the risk of runoff, leading to loss of soil nutrients and potential contamination of water resources. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency advises the following: • Watch weather and field conditions closely for a safe window to apply manure. • Refer to your state or local permit for specific details on land application restrictions. The agency recommends these steps to prevent manure runoff:
• Farmers who apply manure during winter should review their manure management plan now to determine which fields are the most suitable to receive winter applications. • Fields for winter application should be level, distant from sensitive features, and have crop residue. • Consider lowering application rates. • Monitor field edges to verify that manure runoff is not occurring. If runoff is occurring, report it to the Minnesota Duty Officer at 800-422-0798. • If frozen soil prevents incorporating manure, a 300-foot setback from sensitive features such as streams is required.

• Avoid spreading when furrows contain ice or snow. • Avoid surface applications: • When there is 2 inches of snow or more and the weather forecast predicts temperatures to exceed 40ºF within the next 24 hours. • When the ground is frozen and/or snow covered and the weather forecast predicts a 50 percent chance of a 0.25 inch or more of rain in the next 24 hours. • During February and March when most runoff events occur.

FFA 8th Annual Corn Drive Thanks DONORS
O
n Oct. 19 the Mora FFA did farm and business visits from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. for our 8th Annual FFA Corn Drive. The Corn Drive is a fundraiser in which we get donations for our FFA Chapter and True Friends. True Friends is a camp that provides scholarships and program support for kids and adults with disabilities who come to the camp. Most campers can’t afford the full cost to come to the camp, so the scholarships provided by FFA are a huge help for them. We also keep a portion of ourr profits for our own chapter. Within our group oup we use the funds for registrations, travel el and daily chapter activities that will help our ur members grow in their love for agriculture.
If you would like more information about the Corn Drive or would like to donate, contact our FFA advisor Jennifer McCauley at 320-679-6220 ext. 5258 or email her at jmccauley@moraschools.org.

The goal is that we all make it safely home
T
he jungle was hot, wet and dark. Shortly after the group of men had been dropped off from a helicopter, the firefight started. Will, 18 and the newest of the group, in the country for two days, got separated from the others. He could be dead, wounded or captured, but they searched for him anyway. They found him, wounded and shook up but alive and they carFocus on ried him to the chopper. Relief and smiles Faith came over everyone as they landed; they all Rick Marcy made it back, it was a good day.
The story of the lost sheep from Matthew 18:10-14 is a parable given after a discussion about who is the greatest or most important. Jesus called a little child and proclaimed him to be the most important, then he gave this parable. The owner rejoices not because this sheep is more important than the others, but because all are safe. Just as Will’s patrol did not rejoice because Will was more important, they rejoiced because they all made it home safe that day. 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” The mission, the goal, is to get us
all home safe. No one is insignificant. Everyone matters. If any are lost, we will come looking. This is supposed to be the churches mission. Not just the pastor’s mission but everyone’s mission. Yet how many are lost with no one looking for them? How many have left the church without being noticed and searched for? Sam was in rough shape when they found her living in a culvert, dirty, addicted to drugs and starving. Many people had seen her but never stopped, some were frightened of her. Yet a boy on a bike saw her and got his parents. They put her in their car. It was the start of a long road of getting clean and healthy. This family stuck with her, celebrated her successes and carried her when she fell. Sam was safe and
found. One more child of God was going to make it home. The mission, the goal, is not that we are perfect, righteous or holy; it’s that we all make it out alive, home safe to God. Maybe beaten, bloody or wounded, but we make it back. The rejoicing is not because of our importance, it’s because one more has made it home safe. This is the parable of the lost sheep. Stop trying to measure your importance and start looking for the wounded and lost, and when you find them carry them home to Jesus. The mission, the goal, is that we all make it safely home.

Wrestlers ready to contend for a State berth BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Mora Mustangs wrestling team made a strong showing during the 2017-18 season. With an impressive number of wrestlers, the team is set on a return to the Minnesota State Tournament. “We finished last year with a 16-9 record, and were the Section 7AA runner-up,” said head coach Tom Youngblom. “We had five all-Conference wrestlers, and sent three of this year’s seniors to the State Tournament: Ryan Nosbush, Danny Schroeder and Jon Smith.” “Our overall numbers are probably one of our best assets. We wrestled 33 kids on varsity last year. That was a team record.” The numbers are still high for this year’s Mustang team, Youngblom said. “We have nine seniors. They include the three who went to state last year; two more with a great deal of experience, Jake Nowling and Austin Voss; three that lettered, Idris Anderson, Jace Morneau and Brandon Udstuen; and one more who

took some time off and is back to finish his wrestling career, Jayme Washburn.”
“We have returning underclassmen who placed at the Section tournament. Connor
Gmahl, Tanner Grangruth and Collin McCarthy each finished third, and Tommy Nosbush
and Trevor Thielen both finished fifth. We also have some hungry wrestlers waiting for their turn: Dom Adams, Cody Haggberg, Tucker Hass, Avery Nelson, Dylan Nelson, Cael Sjodin, Sam Udstuen and Parker Voss.” Youngblom said the Mustangs will meet several talented teams on this year’s schedule. “The Granite Ridge Conference always has Foley as the top dog, then Becker and Little Falls. Section 7AA has a few teams to watch. Grand Rapids, Hibbing, Princeton and Milaca are probably the top ones.” The Mustangs coaching staff also includes Ethan Damon, Chad Grahn, Brent Nelson, Ryan Sjodin, Dave Souba and Devin Wagner. “We fully expect to be in the running to go to State at the end of the year,” said Youngblom. “I’ve been coaching long enough now to know that predictions are hard to make. But I predict if we stay healthy we’ll be tough to beat in February.” The Mustangs open the new season on Friday, Dec. 7 as they host Section foes Virginia and Princeton.
Mustangs Nordic ski team prepares for snow, success BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Mora Mustangs Nordic ski teams excelled at last year’s Minnesota State Tournament. With experienced returning skiers, their prospects for a return trip look very good. “We had a great season last year,” said head coach Peter Larsen. “The boys team won the Section 5A championship, and the girls were runners-up. At the State Tournament the boys team finished 10th and the girls team 13th. We spent a lot of time on classic skiing last season which seems to have made a big difference, and we plan on the same this year.” Last season was the boys team’s third consecutive trip to State. Two of last year’s sophomores placed in the State individual skiers’ competition: Cooper Lennox finished in 14th place, and Johanna Schwinghamer in 42nd. Lennox was also the overall top boys’ finisher in the Section 5A tournament. The Mustang girls team returns all varsity skiers from last year, with younger skiers seeking a varsity spot. “Our depth and strength is what really sets us apart from the competition,” Larsen said, “and we use that to
motivate our training throughout the year. Junior Johanna Schwinghamer had a big summer of training, and is looking to capitalize on that. Her teammates include senior Cailyn Smith and juniors Lily Peterson, Abby Szoka and Gen Woods. Johanna and Gen are captains this year. They know how to lead the girls to work hard, while also bringing a fun atmosphere to practice every day.” “Junior Cooper Lennox is our top returning skier on the boys team. After he finished 14th at State he then went on to race in the Under 16 category at the Junior National Championships in Utah, where he finished second in the 5km Mass Start Skate Race. Our captains, seniors Kaden Halverson and Nathan Williams, also look to have great seasons and push their teammates on practice days to help them be the best they can be.” Larsen heads the coaching staff with returning coaches Chuck Flanders, Chip Gerdin and Wade Weber. New this year are coaches Matt Swanson and Katelyn Vickers. “We’re always looking to improve the little things in our program: continuously tweaking training plans, technique drills and race preparation to help the athletes be

Mora boys ready to build on last year’s successes BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
After record-breaking performances last year the Mora Mustangs boys basketball team returns to the court with a squad of returning starters, a group of promising newcomers and a spirit of exciting defensive play. “Last year we graduated Mora’s all-time leading scorer Cal Wright, now playing at Concordia College – Moorhead,” said head coach Curt Grachek. “He finished his high school career with 2,076 points. Last year’s highlights included Cal passing Eric Dalbey (‘06, 1,747 points) as the Mustangs’ career
scoring leader, as well as passing the 2,000 point mark.” Mora ended the regular season last year with a 10-16 record, seventh place in the Granite Ridge Conference and 14th in Section 6AA. They were defeated in the first round of Section playoffs with a loss to St. Cloud Cathedral. “The GRC is a tough conference,” said Grachek. “Albany, Cathedral and Becker will be our big challenges this season.” The Mustangs bring a strong core of seniors to the court this winter, Grachek said. “Matt Venhuizen will expand his role as a scorer, and will be a driving force on the defensive end. Caleb Weaver missed 15 games

The team is guided by the rest of the Mustang coaching staff. “Pete Balmer is in his sixth year as junior varsity and assistant varsity coach,” Grachek said. “Jamie Wright returns for a fourth year as assistant coach, and Chris Venhuizen for a second year as ninth grade and assistant coach.” “We’ll be an exciting team to watch. Strong defense should be our biggest attribute this coming season.” The Mustangs host Pierz on Tuesday, Dec. 4 to open the new season.

Other seniors expected to contribute include Drew Elvehjem, Devon Olson, Karl Schultz and Kaden Smart.” “Other returning starters include junior Cole Steffen and sophomore Andrew Rasmusson. Steffen could become the dominant post player in the area, and a significant rebounder for our team. Rasmusson, no longer a rookie, will expand his role on the team. Other underclassmen we expect to contribute include junior Lucas Athey, and five to six sophomores who will earn playing time.”

With the potential return of experienced players, the team is poised to find success in the 2018-19 season. The Lions finished the 2017-18 season with a 2-25 overall record, eighth place in the Great River Conference and 10th place in Section 5A South. They were eliminated from postseason play with a loss to Onamia. Last year’s co-head coach Dan Stiel takes over this season as head coach, with Lions veteran Art Sanbeck assuming the role of assistant coach. Ogilvie opens the new season on Tuesday, Dec. 4 when they host Hinckley-Finlayson.

The Ogilvie Lions wrestling team finished up the 2017-18 season with six wins and 15 losses. But with several wrestlers who excelled in individual matches, one advancing to the State Tournament, the outlook is good for the new season. “Our wrestlers committed themselves and worked hard,” said head coach Adam Halvorson. “We wrestled well at the Conference and Section tournaments. Some of our guys defeated opponents that they’d lost to earlier in the season.” “I think the kids hope to have
outstanding seasons as individuals. We’re bringing back five wrestlers who all placed at the Section 7A tournament: senior Alex Chidester, sophomores Beau Burk, Gavin McLewis and Ethan Warren, and freshman Rhett Hudoba. Alex was the Section champion at 285 lbs. and competed well at the State Tournament where he won two matches.” The Lions coaching staff also includes Dan Belsheim, Ben Burk, Derek Carlson, Matt Houtsma, Colton Johnston and Bill Pike. “We’ll keep things interesting for the kids, and help each one to improve throughout the season and be at their best in February,” Halvorson said. “Cloquet/Esko/

Carlton will be tough foes in the Great River Conference, and Blackduck/Cass Lake-Bena will be a challenge in Section 7A.” “We’ll have several strong wrestlers, and a supporting staff of less experienced ones. If the guys stay healthy and committed, we may have a strong team when the Section tournament comes around.” The Lions open the season on Thursday, Nov. 29 with a quadrangular meet at Robbinsdale Armstrong. On Saturday, Dec. 1 the varsity wrestlers will compete at Rush City, while junior high and junior varsity wrestlers travel to Aitkin.

Lions build momentum with returning starters BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
After a strong finish to the 2017-18 season, the Ogilvie Lions girls basketball team returns nearly all players and prepares to build on their momentum. “We lacked size last season, so we addressed the issue of rebounding during the offseason and the early part of this season,” said head coach Jonathan Nelson. “Fundamental work on rebounding and physical toughness has been our focal points.” “We finished last season winning six of our final 10 games, so we hope to carry that momentum into this season.” The Lions closed last season with an 11-17 record, sixth place in the Great River Conference and seventh in Section 5A South. They defeated Hinckley-Finlayson in the first round of Section playoffs, but fell to East Central. The team’s 11 wins was a high-water mark in recent seasons; they won six games in 2016-17, five in 2015-16, eight in 2014-15, seven in 2013-14 and six in 2012-13. Fortunately the Lions can count on returning players with varsity experience, Nelson said. “We return four of the five starters from last years team. Junior Maddie Chidester will be a solid starter at point guard. Of course we’ll look to seniors Lilly Lee and Maizy Burk as our leaders. They both will
have the opportunity to surpass 1,000 career points this season.” “Junior Annika Berg has another year of experience under her belt, and has improved defensively and with perimeter shooting. Senior Emma Vogel makes up for her small size with toughness; she’s developed a good outside game and has done some great work in the offseason. Juniors Emma Morgan and Cori Olson provide offensive punch and can spell some starters for periods of time. Ninth graders who could have an impact are Ailee Fratzke, Katelyn Beck and Ella Heins.” Assistant coach this year Pam Nickles returns for a third season. “Our program has been on an upward trend the past couple of years. We’re still in the process of changing the culture, but the girls have become more unified as a group,” Nelson said. “Our expectations are high. We’re hoping to improve and win 16-18 games this year. We believe we have the team to finish in the top half of the GRC for the first time in a long time. We believe that something great is happening this year for our team, and we hope to capitalize on every opportunity given to us.” The Lions open the season on Friday – Saturday, Nov. 30 - Dec. 1 at a tournament in Benson. Their home opener is on Monday, Dec. 3 when they host Mora.

C-squad coach Kayleigh Kloncz. “We’re going to approach the season one practice at a time,” Ostien said, “and work with the girls to prepare them for a great season; not just on the court, but off it as well.” “Our expectations are high for this year. The girls will be very competitive in every game we play, and won’t back down from a great game. I believe that each of the players will impact our season in her own way, and I’m excited to see what they’ll bring to the team.” The Mustangs hosted Isle for their season opener on Tuesday, Nov. 27.

Mustangs hockey emphasizes character, discipline BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Mora/Milaca Mustangs boys hockey team opens the 2018-19 season emphasizing disciplined play and team chemistry. With returning varsity players and promising freshmen, the team is set for success this winter. Last year the Mustangs finished with an 11-14 record during the regular season, third place in the Two Rivers Conference and seventh place in Section 5A. They defeated Legacy Christian in the first round of Section playoffs, but were eliminated with a loss to North Branch. “Though we didn’t have a winning record last year, we had a successful season,” said head coach Kevin Nolt. “Everyone bought into the team philosophy, and our seniors were exceptional leaders. Our defensive core played well last year, and we’re returning three defensive players to this year’s squad. Our goal-tending got better as the season went along, and we now have two goalies with varsity experience.” “We have three freshmen on the team that I expect to have significant roles: Jack Kritzeck, Parker Mitchell
and Austin Rudek. We also have three returning defensemen: seniors Blake Radeke and Kaleb Swenson and junior Kolton Brodal. They’ve played a lot of minutes the past two years, and we will rely on their leadership and experience. Senior Gavin Orr leads the offensive attack this year. He has the ability to make plays whenever he has the puck.” Nolt is in his sixth year of coaching the Mustangs. “Bill Swan is our new assistant coach this year,” he said. “It’s always good to have new eyes on a team. We’re lucky to have him as part of the team and association.” Nolt and the Mustangs have set ambitious goals for the 2018-19 season. “We’re making it a goal to focus on each opponent as our biggest challenge. Another goal is to be the least penalized team in the Conference,” he said. “We believe that disciplined teams are more successful than teams with talent only.” “We have a phenomenal group of student athletes with high character. When a team has that and chemistry they can have a successful season, regardless of the overall record.” The Mustangs opened the season on Saturday, Nov. 24 against Gentry Academy.

Girls hockey uses grit to take on challenging schedule STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Cambridge-Isanti/Mora/Pine City varsity girls hockey team looks to be a team with grit as they enter a challenging season schedule of top teams. Last season they finished with 18
wins and seven loses overall and a 7-5 record in the Mississippi 8 Conference. Head Coach Shannon Skelton said their biggest challenge this year will be their schedule. “We have increased our strength of schedule and we play a number of top 20AA and top 20A teams,” she said.
Their big opponent to watch will be North Wright County in their conference; Andover and Forest Lake in sections. Skelton had faith that their key to success will be “living by our motto of being a hard working gritty team that never gives up.”
Skelton’s goals for the team were to continue to improve each day. “ We have a strong section, but we have the skill and depth to go a long way this year,” she said. Assistant coaches this year are Corey Bustrom, Brian Guimont, Cassandra Ott and Bailey Hastings.
