Belkholms named Kanabec County Farm Family of the Year

BY TERRY SALMELA NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Kevin and Tammy Belkholm family who farm in Grass Lake Township east of Brunswick is this year’s Kanabec County Farm Family of the Year.

Kevin and Tammy met at college at the University of Minnesota Waseca where he studied agriculture and she studied horticulture. Kevin grew up on their current farm. Tammy grew up in Southern Minnesota in Blue Earth County. After being married they moved to the original Belkholm homestead to farm with Kevin’s parents, Chester and Violet Belkholm.

The Belkholm farm began with Kevin’s great-grandparents who moved to Grass Lake Township from Illinois in 1885.

Kevin’s grandfather, Albert, later moved north a half-mile and started the dairy farm, building his first barn in 1936.

Kevin’s parent’s, Chester and Violet, built the second, attached barn in the 1950s. Kevin built an addition in 1982.

In 1996, Kevin and Tammy began the process of building a 300-cow free stall, double eight parallel parlor facility, fully utilizing the farm’s older tie-stall barn and loafing shed with additional free stalls, with a goal of increasing cow SUBMITTED

Food, frivolity found at county fair

A new sight to see at the fair is the recently constructed goat barn. In previous years the goats were held in a tent but a recent grant and efforts of volunteers made way for the new permanent structure.

Paul Johnston, 47, of Ogilvie was found dead in Maple Ridge Township in Isanti County at approximately 12:16 p.m. Sunday, July 9. It appears Johnston’s death was the result of a motorcycle accident.

According to a press release from the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office, at approximately 11:13 a.m., dispatch received a phone call to report that Johnston was riding his motorcycle and was overdue for arrival at his destination.

Deputies were able to find Johnston’s location near the intersection of 385th Avenue NW and Lily Street by pinging his cell phone.

A preliminary investigation shows that Johnston was traveling east on 385th Avenue when he failed to negotiate the curve in the roadway and struck a road sign.

It is unknown if there were other contributing factors to the crash.

The incident is still being investigated by the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office which will include an autopsy.

A funeral service was held for Johnston Saturday, July 15, at Calvary Lutheran Church in Mora.

Question: I noticed a dog that was in a vehicle the other day at a local business parking lot and the occupants were not around. I was wondering what I should have done. With the recent warm weather, I can imagine the temperature inside the car must have been dangerously high for that dog. Is there a law against this?

Answer: There is a law that a perAsk a son may not leave a dog or a cat unattended in a standing or parked motor Trooper vehicle in a manner that endangers the pet’s health or safety. A peace ofSgt. Neil ficer, a humane agent, a dog warden Dickenson or a volunteer or professional member of a fire or rescue department may use reasonable force to enter a motor vehicle and remove a dog or cat in this situation.

If you see an unattended pet in a vehicle, report this to law enforcement with a location and vehicle description.

I would advise pet owners to use caution and always look out for your pet’s well being and safety. Consider the following options: Leave your pet at home whenever possible.

Arrange to have someone stay in the vehicle with the pet with the engine and air conditioner running.

Check with the business, as they may allow you to bring in your pet while shopping.

Returning for a dip after being ‘too cool’ for the pool

I

left work Monday and glanced at the outdoor temperature reading on my dash: 92 degrees.

Yuck. Before heading to the homestead, I took a swing through the county fairgrounds to check out the newly-erected goat barn and saw the Mora Aquatic Center was packed.

As a long-time resident, the pool is something I had grown a little blind to. For me, it was something that was just always there and I never gave it a second thought. But having a child has helped me to see the city of Mora with fresh eyes. Now I see Editor everything in her environment Kirsten Faurie as a new learning opportunity for her. It has also given me a chance to see parts of society I’ve never experienced before like family restrooms and the FirstLight maternity ward.

In fact, my child has given me wonderful excuses to do things I have always wanted to do but were not socially acceptable: wear a fanny pack; visit the petting zoo; make weird noises and faces in public; dance and sing while making our way down the grocery store aisles.

Back to the point: since before I was 15 I was “too cool” to go to the public pool anymore. For the last five years I’ve been trying to think of an excuse to use the pool without looking like a weird, lurking adult who is the only one there without a child.

Finally, that 92-degree day was my opportunity. I rushed home, grabbed my husband, baby and a towel. Soon we were having the best time any of us have ever had in a shallow end of a pool.

The Mora pool, despite what it costs the city to operate, is an amazing asset to have so close to home that I have not been grateful enough for.

Mom gets to cool off while working on her breaststroke and dad slides down the waterslide while pretending they are there for the sole benefit of the kids. The kids so thoroughly exhaust themselves splashing that a quiet evening for the parents is almost guaranteed—far worth the price of the pool pass.

There is more than the pool.

Don’t let dull eyes go blind to some of Mora’s most amazing assets: the library, the parks, the lakes and rivers, civic center, downtown ice cream shops, skate park, tennis courts, movie theater, snowmobile trails, Bingo, farmers market and perhaps my favorite: locally-produced hard apple cider.

Each local event opens up new opportunities to learn, explore and connect. I can’t wait to take my toddler to see her first woolly sheep (or as she calls them, “baa baas”) next week at Kanabec County Fair as well as all the “bawk bawks,” “moo moos” and “oink oinks.”

The week after, we will be off to National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 1, to see in person the firetrucks and police cars she has only seen in books or as toys.

With all the activities (especially the many free ones) that are available in our town and surrounding communities, no one should lack for something to keep them occupied.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bring back ‘Weekly Reader’ To the Editor: How many of you remember looking forward to reading the “Weekly Reader” in your school as an elementary student? For me it was in a little rural country school in Iowa in the 1940’s and I enjoyed each edition.

I was reminded of that as I reflected on how we receive our news in today’s world with all of our technology. Back then we did not even have TV but my parents got the daily Waterloo paper although it being delivered by mail was always late news but it still allowed families to keep up on world events.

I do not believe there was ever a question about whether someone writing the “Weekly Reader” was putting their own political spin on the news. Such is not the case with journalism today.

Here are some interesting facts about “The Weekly Reader.” The first edition occurred in 1928 and the last edition was in 2012. There were five different editions for elementary children depending on their

QUOTABLES grade level with the most advanced edition starting in 1934 for fifth and sixth graders. The cost was 20 cents per semester and most teachers used Fridays to hand them out.

What is really interesting is how accurate the “Weekly Reader” was in predicting presidential elections.

Each election cycle, an edition had a poll for the children to vote on their preference and the teacher would tabulate the results. Amazingly, the kids were right in 13 out of 14 elections starting with Eisenhower’s win over Stevenson in 1956. The last one was done in 2008 predicting Obama’s win over Romney. The only one they had wrong was in 1992 when George H. W. Bush got more votes than Bill Clinton. However, that was the year that Ross Perot was a third party candidate and he was not listed on the childrens “Weekly Reader” poll.

Let’s bring back the “Weekly Reader” when journalism was journalism.

A love affair with workout wear

A recent shopping excursion left me pondering the idea of how my clothes contribute to accountability when it comes to physical activity. As I dumped out my shopping bag of cheap to modestly-priced items, I was left with a pile of easyon and stretchy shirts, sports bras with unique style backs, and slip on tights with wide waistbands. EvWellness ery piece I purchased resembled workout Every Day wear. No zippers, no button to clasp and a Deb Wright soft but strong feel to the fabric.

The goal was to buy clothes for work, not for workout.

Some would say I’m middle-aged and have finally figured out that comfort is key when it comes to clothes. To embrace the fact that a little flexibility in the waistband is on the docket for years to come. Although I did purchase some items because they were long enough to cover my bottom and had plenty of room for me to hang loose on days that sounds appealing, I think what it really boils down to is I want clothes that I can move in; clothes that have a dual purpose; clothes that are eerily like workout wear. Can I go for a walk in this outfit and still be comfortable? Can I move at a ball game and not be thinking about my shirt binding at that certain spot? I want clothes that allow me the option of being physically active on the spur of the moment if the situation arises or as I like to call it, workout ready.

When I look at clothes from the fitness industry, they are all made with some type of material to help you be comfortable, move freely, yet portray

an air of strength and style. Whether it is elastic, Lycra®, spandex, or one of the new- fangled fabrics, fitness clothes of all kinds are dominating the fashion industry. Women especially are incorporating the basic black legging or tights into their wardrobe, a piece that was initially intended for physical activity.

Finding the sweet spot between comfort and inspiration in your clothing may do just that: make you more accountable for physical activity. Whether basic black or funky patterned tights are part of your daily donning of clothes in the morning or they are the first thing you change into when you get home, use them for their intended purpose. Move, stretch, be physically active when the inspiration hits you.

Show off that style by strutting down the street with a friend. Own that outrageous print while out for a bike ride.

I wish I could say that putting on a simple white T-shirt and a pair of shorts inspires me to exercise. For some this is the bomb and occasionally does the trick for me too. But deep down I love workout wear. Like, really love it. Always have, always will. I love what it does for my psyche. From casual fitness like walking or yoga, to fitlike-a-glove running tights or capris, these clothes serve a common purpose. If they inspire me to be active, play or move around more during my day, then I consider them a worthwhile investment that is only going to better my health.

An Ogilvie farmer harvests his corn in 2015.

Farmers planning to retire should consider goals, family

BY WYATT FRAAS CENTER FOR RURAL AFFAIRS

Retirement from a farm business may not mean moving away or giving up on mentoring the next generation, but it does entail transferring management decisions to someone else. It can be a gradual or sudden process. It may be driven by long-term goals, by sudden health issues or events outside your family.

When should farmers retire? The answer is related to choices and goals and can happen at any time. While many can’t imagine doing anything else except farming, their families may have other ideas and want to share more time with them.

Discussions with your family can help design the retirement process.

‘While many can’t imagine doing anything else except farming, their families may have other ideas...’

Allan Nation, of “Stockman Grassfarmer” magazine, observed that a farmer or rancher is at his peak combination of labor, innovation and management skills at age 50.

To maintain or grow the farm business after 50 can require an additional infusion of labor and maybe of innovation. That often means a young partner with energy and new ideas. Such a partnership process can greatly im-

prove the income of the business, which may be the means to fund retirement savings after a lifetime of investing in farm assets.

A farmer can look for someone to work into the business at any time, but a planned process will take several years of testing the relationship, training to the uniqueness of the business and a gradual shifting of management.

A five-year time frame can work well to ensure a smooth transition and to demonstrate steady progress to the new farmer.

Add ample time for readying the business framework and selecting the best candidate.

The Center for Rural Affairs has resources for retiring and beginning farmers at www.cfra.org/ beginning-farmer-rancher.

BELKHOLM: Farm Family of the Year raises 550 cattle on dairy farm FROM PAGE 1

numbers in preparation for completion of the larger dairy a mile away.

It was a huge project to build a 108-ft. x 256 ft. free-stall barn while milking additional cows in the older barn. On a January 1997 day, they moved their 120 milk cows from the old barn down the road to their new 300-cow barn. Kevin said, “There were four to five foot snowbanks on both sides of Hwy. 70 when we drove the cows to the new barn. The highway patrol and lots of people helped. It went very well and only took 10-15 minutes.”

In eight months, they expanded their herd to fill the barn by buying heifers that were ready to calve and cows from other herds that were liquidating. They now have a total of 550 head of cattle on the farm including dairy cows, heifers, calves and steers. In 2006, a 108’ x 156’ pack barn was added to the free stall for dry cows. Recently, the Belkholms have converted the old dairy barn to a computerized milk feeding barn for baby calves.

Each of the four calf feeders can provide milk to 25 calves until they are weaned.

Belkholms grow 500 acres of corn which they harvest and feed to their herd as corn silage, snaplage and dry corn. In addition, they harvest three cuttings of haylage and baled hay from 350-400 acres of alfalfa hay ground. The corn silage and haylage are stored in large bunkers. A Total Mixed Ration wagon is loaded with silages, soybean meal, dry hay, dry corn,

‘There were four to five foot snowbanks on both sides of Hwy. 70 when we drove the cows to the new barn. The highway patrol and lots of people helped. It went very well and only took 10-15 minutes.’

Kevin Belkholm Dairy Farmer cottonseed, vitamins and minerals and are mixed and fed to the herd to provide a nutritionally balanced ration.

They have eight to nine people working to get the day to day chores completed.

Additional help is called on during harvest and with custom chopping the Belkholms provide for a few area dairy and beef farmers.

Kevin and Tammy have four children; Erica who is married to Kenny Blake, they have a 4-year old daughter Cora; Mike is in trucking in the Twin Cities; Ross does commercial landscaping in the cities and BreAnna is an Anoka-Ramsey College student and is a current Kanabec County Dairy Ambassador.

Kevin’s mother Violet lives in a different house on the farm. “She feeds the neighborhood with her cookies and stays active in a sup-

porting role,” said Tammy.

Kevin is on the Kanabec County Soil and Water Conservation Board. In the past Tammy has been the manager of the Kanabec County American Dairy Association County Fair Malt Stand.

Over the years the Belkholms have hosted 19 different foreign students as farm laborers through the University of Minnesota Agriculture Student Trainee program and the International Farmers program. They have come from Estonia, Japan, Poland, France, Czech Republic, Kenya, Ukraine and Netherlands. Currently they are hosting Marcos and Caio from Brazil.

TheBelkholms credit their success to all of the help that they have received from their parents, employees, consultants and suppliers.

“We want to thank everyone who has helped us over the years,” concluded Kevin.

The Belkholms will be recognized as the Farm Family of the Year at the Kanabec County Fair on Saturday, July 29, at the 4-H Livestock Auction and at Farmfest on Thursday, Aug. 3, near Redwood Falls. The Farm Family of the Year is sponsored by the University of Minnesota Extension; College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources; the College of Veterinary Medicine; the University of Minnesota Experiment Station and Farmfest.

Terry Salmela is a contributing writer for the Kanabec County Times and retired University of Minnesota Extension Educator.

Jesus would have worn jeans Do you like to wear jeans? Farmers do, kids do, truckers do, I do, and in all likelihood you do too. But did you know this? Jesus does too.

While that may seem irreligious, give me a moment of your time to explain. Why do people like to wear jeans instead of dress clothes?

They’re informal.

They’re comfortable.

Focus on They’re down-right enjoyable. The same is Faith true of Jesus and His jeans: Dale Clifton 1) Jeans are informal: Did you know that Christmas is the day that Jesus put on his pair of jeans? (it’s called the incarnation). Jesus came to planet Earth so He could be informal with men, women and children. Why? So, you can relax and come to Him. The Bible says: “Jesus, Who, being in very nature God, made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” With “human genes” (pun intended) Jesus could identify with us.

2) Jeans are comfortable: “Jean-people” don’t hang around “suit-people.”

Guess which crowd Jesus preferred?

Jesus enjoyed hanging around the “jean

people.” He’d climb in the boat with a fisherman and go fishing. He would meet a tax collector and join him for lunch. He would see a woman ostracized by all and defend her. He would see a table full of dirty feet and roll up his “jeans” and wash their feet. Truth be told, Jesus was so comfortable wearing jeans that he earned the nickname “friend of sinners.” Jesus said “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends.”

3) Jeans are enjoyable and Jesus is all about joy. Joy is attitude that’s very different than the fleeting emotion of happiness. The Bible says “Let us focus our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” What was His joy? You. You are the joy that Jesus had in mind as he endured the cross, took the penalty for your sins and freely offers to forgive you.

The sum of it all is this: Enjoy wearing jeans, why not come to church in your jeans? Together let us worship our resurrected jean-wearing savior.

Pastor Dale Clifton is the interim pastor of Fish Lake Chapel and chaplain at Milaca Elim Care & Rehab Center.

Despite the odds, Sailor Bill survives lightning strike

125 YEARS AGO (1892) Hans Peterson has put a new Hall’s burglar and fireproof safe in his store.

Don’t let the flies roost on you, when you can get the best fly paper in the market at the drugstore.

Anton Smith has given the drugstore front a new coat of paint and Hugo Naumann has painted his store outside and in.

L. E. Conger has secured the corner property opposite the Conger House and will soon begin the erection of a building to be used for a drugstore.

S. B. Molander is rewriting his popular play and improving it with new characters. He has already had some very flattering offers from professionals for the use of the play.

Sam Lowenstein, cigar man and erstwhile politician, was in Mora on Tuesday looking after his customers.

Sam does not feel very confident of Republican success this fall, like a good many others he would not be surprised to see the people’s party sweep the state.

At the annual school meeting last Saturday night S. B. Molander was re-elected clerk. A motion was carried to have nine months school in the village and the school rooms are to be alabastined. The Nord School was voted six months school and three months term will be taught in the Knife River settlement.

S. D. Seavey of West Superior, has been in town the past week. He is now special agent under D. S. Hall to assist in removing the Chippewa Indians to White Earth. “Stant” has been the recognized White Chief of the Snake River Band and if he cannot remove them peaceably the job might as well be given up. He has already induced several families to go and departs for White Earth with them today.

We are prepared to do Swedish circular printing.

An official of R. R. Co. will meet the farmers of Grass Lake tonight, in the interest of the new line surveyed through here. J. A. Swan expects to get $1,000 damages out of the new R. R. proposed to run through his premises.

100 YEARS AGO (1917) “Ought you to have an auto? :” An auto is the one best bet, if you’re entirely out of debt, if you have money tucked away, providing for a rainy day. But if you’re mortgaging your home, that you in pomp and state may roam, and if in roaming thus you burn your roubles, fast as you can earn, your auto is a Jonah cart, and some day it will break your heart. An auto is a precious boon, the smoothest thing beneath the moon, if you, as down the street you hie, can look your grocer in the eye and say within your secret soul, “I haven’t put him in the hole.” An auto is the thing for you, if, when the butcher looms in view, you know you are not owing coin for liverwurst and tenderloin. An auto is a blessed thing, all kinds of comfort it will bring if you’re not dodging the galoots who sell you clothes and lids and boots, if you can say in ringing tones, “I owe no plunks or bucks or bones, and I’ve a package of long green to blow for oil and gasoline.” If you can’t put up

such a talk, don’t own a car--you’d better walk.

75 YEARS AGO (1942) “Mysterious accident occurs in Isanti County:” A very peculiar and rare incident occurred on Sunday afternoon during the wind and rain storm that lashed Isanti County. William Nelson, known to many as “Sailor Bill,” mysteriously escaped death when a lightning bolt struck him.

Bill was lying on a couch near a window at his farm home, two miles south of Cambridge, when the storm broke. Lightning struck the wiring on the outside of the house and carried through the service wiring throughout the house. There was wiring on the window near Bill and he was struck in the side of the back.

His clothes were torn off and his back severely burned.

He called for help and his daughter extinguished the flames with a pail of milk. Dr. Whitney, who treated Mr. Nelson’s burns, stated that he could not understand how Bill escaped death.

All the wiring and plumbing throughout the house was completely destroyed.

50 YEARS AGO (1967) “Grand opening set for River Diner:” Robert Clough of Minneapolis purchased the River Diner near Grasston earlier this summer. He plans to hold a grand opening Saturday evening, July 22.

Mr. Clough is married and has three children. The Cloughs invite the public to stop in and get acquainted during the grand opening event.

“Solid gold check for $1,100,000 displayed here:” A solid gold bank check in the amount of $1,100,000 is on display in the Kanabec State Bank. This check was presented by Minnesota Masons in April 1966 to the University of Minnesota to build two additional floors of the Masonic Memorial Hospital at the University.

Cancer research is a major project at the hospital.

The gift represented a single year’s collection of contributions to the state Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund Inc. Arrangements for display of the 14-karat gold check were made through the Mora Masonic Lodge in cooperation with Kanabec State Bank and First National Bank of Minneapolis. The check will remain on display through Aug. 11.

Over the last five years, speed was a contributing factor in 22 deaths in Kanabec County.

Additionally, speeding is the most commonly-repor ted factor in fatal crashes -- especially during the summertime, which is historically the deadliest period on Minnesota roads.

Excess speed contributes to about 150 traffic deaths and 7,000 injuries in Minnesota every year.

Population analysis shows Kanabec County aging as it struggles to attract and retain young people

BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

Using data from the United States Census Bureau and the Minnesota State Demographic Center, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development released its 2016 profile of Kanabec County with data on population, educational attainment, unemployment and wages. The data shows a mostly white population, a projected population decrease, and notable decrease in the number of people under the age 45 entering or staying in the community.

DEED Regional Analyst Luke Greiner spoke with the Kanabec County Times about what this data means for the county. (See the full Q&A on the right.)

Greiner’s concern was that as Kanabec County’s population ages, the population will decline significantly if it is unable to offset it with growth in age groups under 45 years old.

Greiner said the problem is not isolated to Kanabec County but is happening in all rural counties.

Heidi Steinmetz, director of the Kanabec County Economic Development Authority, said aging populations are the top topic at economic development seminars and conferences.

Despite it being a major concern, she said she hasn’t heard any clear plans or directions on how communities can address it.

“I can’t tell you what we’re going to try and do because I don’t know yet, but it’s an apparent problem,” she said.

Steinmetz said she was unaware of any organized efforts among the county’s cities or other governing bodies to actively appeal to young people.

Research by Ben Winchester with the University of Minnesota Extension says it isn’t all doom and gloom — there are ways for small towns to attract young newcomers.

Winchester researched what motivates 30 to 45-year-olds to relocate to less populated and rural communities. According to the Rural Minnesota Journal’s report, “Taking the Helm: How rural Minnesota’s next generation sees the future,” researchers found several factors that were important in newcomer’s decision to move including: • Finding a less congested place to live • A better environment for raising children • Better quality local schools • A safer place to live • Lower cost of housing • A simpler pace of life • More outdoor recreational activities • To be closer to relatives • To live in a desirable natural environment • Lower cost of living Winchester concluded that changes witnessed in rural Minnesota are complex, but offer opportunities as well as challenges.

Kanabec County Population

Q&A with Analyst Luke Greiner

Reporter: What do these numbers say about Kanabec County? The data shows a decline in projected population.

Should we be concerned?

Greiner: As far as the slight decline recently in Kanabec County, it’s obviously not an exciting statistic, but it’s hardly a trend.

Population change by age group 2000-2015 Between the years of 2000-2015, the population of every age cohort younger than 45 decreased while every cohort older than 45 increased.

The projected decline out to 2040 is more of an issue in my opinion ... The population is significantly older than typical for Minnesota. You can see this impacting the age profile already, looking at Figure 3 you can see that every age cohort younger than 45 decreased from 2000-2015, while every cohort 45 and older increased.

It appears Kanabec County is struggling to attract or retain young folks, this is the concern I would have for Kanabec County. It’s not alarming and all counties are getting older, but Kanabec County will have a more pronounced shift without any growth in its younger population.

Reporter: Is this failure to attract and retain young people more significant in Kanabec County than other counties you have studied?

Population by race (2015)

of the remaining 4% ...

As a whole, 84.8% of Minnesotans are White.

“It appears Kanabec County is struggling to attract or retain young folks ... It’s not alarming and all counties are getting older, but Kanabec County will have a more pronounced shift without any growth of its younger population.”

Luke Greiner, MN DEED Analyst

Greiner: I wouldn’t say it’s more significant than comparable rural counties, in fact it’s largely a rural county problem.

Unfortunately, a lot of counties are looking at a very similar picture.

Something interesting that I have been discovering is that residents from other rural areas perceive that a major problem is lack of jobs, yet the problem is actually a lack of people. There are record numbers of job openings in the region and unemployment is at the lowest level in more than a decade.

Whiskers in the water

DRIVING BY THE BRUCES I have two wonderful neighbors--both named Bruce-who live across the road from each other. Whenever I pass their driveways, thoughts occur to me, such as: I had driven by a rural church as the bride and groom met the light of the day after their wedding ceremony.

At my one and only wedding, the ushers didn’t need to ask if any attendee was on the bride’s side or the groom’s side. Those on my side looked relieved. Her side wore shocked looks.

WORRYING ABOUT WHISKERS IN THE WATER As a kid, I’d play baseball and watch a car drive by. I’d think, “I wish I were driving that car.”

Now I drive by a baseball field where kids are playing and think, “I wish I were over there, playing baseball.”

Things change. I hope that the good Al’s World things don’t, but I don’t worry about it.

I’m not much of a worrier. I’m not Al Batt good at it.

Maybe it’s genetic. My mother wasn’t much of a worrier either. She approached life knowing that things would happen and some of them wouldn’t be to her liking. She said that worrying was like sitting in a rocking chair. It gave you something to do, but it didn’t get you anywhere.

But she was human and a mother. Worry crept in despite her efforts to keep it away.

There was an ancient hand pump that brought up cold water that was greatly appreciated on a hot day. It protested loudly when pumped, but was ever faithful.

A metal cup with a long handle hung from that pump.

Everyone drank from that same cup.

Bearded fellows drank from that cup.

My mother advised me to drink from the opposite side of the cup from where the bearded men drank.

She said that you never know what might be in those beards.

One of those fuzzy gents told me that he never washed his beard. That way, whenever he became hungry, he could always find scraps of food in his whiskers.

I thought of those things as I drove down the road behind a couple of F words--a Ford Focus.

I was returning from a clinic visit. More tests, more consultations. I’ve been to that mammoth clinic so many times that familiarity is my GPS. It’s nearly impossible to make a wrong turn. There are always a couple of detours. It’s impossible to avoid roadwork in the summer. There is a yin and yang to roadwork. Delays, winding routes and reduced speeds lead to better roads. We all want good roads. The Focus reminded me to focus on the good things, on my blessings. I need to enjoy the journey. It could be worse.

Keep lawn green, water use down by understanding soil, grass type

BY JUANITA ETTER UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION KANABEC COUNTY MASTER GARDENER

Water is our most important resource as it is necessary for survival of all plant and animal life. As summer heats up and we feel the need to water plants and lawns it is important to understand how to do it efficiently to conserve clean water resources. Here are some guidelines for water usage during the growing season.

Begin by understanding your soil and how water moves through it.

Water drains quickly through sandy soil but very slowly in soil that is predominately clay. Either of these two soil types can be improved with the addition of organic matter (compost, black soil). Organic matter increases the water holding capacity in sandy soils and adds air space to clay soils.

Understanding your soil and how it drains or retains water is helpful in choosing plants that will thrive in your landscape. Select plants that match your growing conditions. Consider a plant’s need for dry or moist soil conditions, sun or shade, mature plant size, and its hardiness zone. Water garden plants when the top six to nine inches of soil is dry. Water at the base of plants to avoid getting leaves wet and to reduce the incidence of moisture related plant diseases.

Water deeply and less often to promote deeper healthier roots. Conserve water by collecting and using water from rain barrels, mulching around plants to conserve moisture, and selecting drought tolerant plants.

Newly planted trees and shrubs require a lot of water until they are established. The first two weeks after planting trees and shrubs should be watered daily, directly over the root ball. During weeks three through 12, water every two to three days, expanding the diameter of the area you are watering as the roots spread well beyond the canopy of trees and shrubs. Then continue watering weekly during the growing season for the next two years.

When seeding a new lawn consider drought tolerant grasses like tall and fine fescues. The root depth of grasses is closely related to the height of grass so setting your mower higher and mowing less frequently will promote deeper roots and reduce the need for supplemental watering. When you do water your lawn, water enough to wet the top six inches of soil. Watering between four and eight in the morning reduces water loss due to evaporation and wind drift.

Information for this article is derived from the University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardening Program Water Wisely by Julie Weisenhorn, Sam Bauer, and Kathy Zuzek.

Your Lawn and Garden Guide

Addressing moss growth on your property Lawn care enthusiasts put lots of time and effort into their lawns and take great pride when that work pays off with a luscious green lawn. But no lawn is immune to problems, and even the most well-maintained property can develop issues that compromise the lawn’s health and aesthetic appeal.

Moss is one potential lawn issue that many greenthumbers would prefer to avoid. While moss is not always harmful, it can be unsightly and lawn care enthusiasts may spend a significant amount of money attempting to control it. Controlling moss can be costly, but there are some ways to control moss that will not cost homeowners much money at all. Before addressing moss in your yard, it helps to understand why moss grows and then look at the various ways to control it once it does.

What causes moss growth?

Moss can grow in a yard for a variety of reasons, but the most common cause of moss growth is insufficient sunlight to support the grass. Sunlight might be blocked by shade from nearby trees or shrubs or even shadows from your home.

Soil conditions may also be responsible for moss growth. Soil that is very acidic can promote moss growth, and the moss that grows because of acidic soil will appear very healthy.

Compacted soil can also promote moss growth because such soil has low oxygen levels that make it hard for the turf to establish strong roots, and moss will take advantage of those weaker roots.

Soil with low fertility levels is also amenable to moss, as it does not produce a healthy turf. Unhealthy turf makes it easy for plants with a low demand for nutrients, including moss, to establish themselves.

How can I solve the problem of moss growth?

Moss that grows because of excessive shade can often be addressed with some minor efforts. If the shade is a result of trees or bushes, prune them regularly so sunlight can reach the turf and promote strong turf and roots. If the shade is caused by your house, then you might consider removing the existing turf and then seeding the area with a turf mix that caters to shaded areas.

If moss is growing because of compacted soil, aerate the turf and soil to break it up and allow the oxygen to reach the soil. When that occurs, the turf will begin to establish stronger roots and make it more difficult for moss to grow.

When soil is tested and it is determined that the soil is acidic, then the soil must be adjusted. Lime might be applied to rebalance the soil, but homeowners should consult a lawn care professional for advice as to the best way to rebalance their soil.

Lawn-care enthusiasts often bristle at the sight of moss on their luscious lawns. But moss is often an easily remedied issue that homeowners can address in a variety of ways.

Moss that grows because of excessive shade can be addressed with some minor efforts.

The Midwest’s first all-electric school bus made a stop at ECE recently. Pictured with the bus, left to right, are ECE President/CEO Steve Shurts, Christov Churchward, GRE intern, Schmitty & Sons COO Bill Forbord, Sandra Broekema, GRE Director, Corporate and Business Development and Justin Jahnz, ECE Manager, Energy Services and Strategic Projects.

First all-electric school bus offers glimpse into future of transportation An all-electric school bus paid a visit to East Central Energy’s Braham headquarters this week, giving co-op staff a glimpse of what may be the future of student transportation.

ECE’s wholesale power supplier, Great River Energy, has partnered with Schmitty & Sons, a transportation company in Lakeville and Dakota Electric Association, a co-op in Farmington, to put the Midwest’s first all-electric school bus into service. It will transport students in the Lakeville School District, beginning this fall.

The pilot program is designed to study the economic and emissions benefits the bus provides, demonstrate battery electric technology in a cold-weather climate and exhibit its performance on suburban and rural routes.

“Cutting-edge technology like the electric school bus is an example of the innovation that’s transforming our industry,” said ECE President/CEO Steve Shurts. “We’re excited to have a front row seat as Great River Energy documents the economics of this vehicle and its potential as an energy-efficient busing option.”

ada-based Lion Electric Co., is powered 100 percent by electricity. Its five batteries give it a range of up to 100 miles per charge. The average daily route of school buses in the United States is 66 miles. It will be recharged at night, when electricity demand and cost, is lower.

Fewer moving parts and features like regenerative braking minimize wear and tear and reduce maintenance needs. An electric school bus costs three times more than a regular diesel bus, but operation and maintenance costs are expected to be approximately $12,000 less per year.

Bill Forbord, COO of Schmitty & Sons, brought the bus to ECE. “We’ve looked at other fuel-alternative school buses but haven’t seen any additional advantages like we have with the eLion model,” he said. “It’s a quiet, smooth ride and has the next generation of operational and safety features. It’s also very user-friendly for the driver.”

In fact, the bus is so quiet that, for safety reasons, it automatically plays music when it pulls up to a stop so students will hear it coming.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will collect and analyze water samples from about 90 wells in Kanabec County this summer and fall.

The data are being collected for the Kanabec County Geologic Atlas, Part B (hydrogeology). The results build on the Part A (geology) information, which was produced by the Minnesota Geological Survey in 2016.

DNR staff will be contacting county residents to request permission for well sampling, which involves collecting a water sample and measuring the depth to water in each well. Tests will profile the general chemical characteristics of area groundwater and will also show about how long the water has been underground.

Geology, location, well depth and well construction will determine the selection of wells for sampling.

Owners of sampled wells will receive a report of the laboratory results for the water sample collected from their well.

Preserving the long-term quality of the region’s surface water and groundwater requires that policymakers have access to accurate information based on sound scientific principles. A county geologic atlas is a valuable tool for county planners, resource managers and other local government staff when making general planning, land use management, and water resource protection decisions.

The Minnesota Geological Survey has already published Part A of the atlas, which illustrates details of each county’s geology. In 2019, the DNR will publish the groundwater portion of the atlas (Part B). The Part B reports will include maps and descriptions of the distribution and movement of groundwater, cross sections illustrating groundwater conditions, and the pollution sensitivity of aquifers in the county.

A description of this DNR program and status reports for atlas products is at: mndnr.gov/groundwatermapping.

Internet and television service bait and switch Most people want the best rate they can get for internet or cable television or satellite television service. Some providers offer aggressive promotions that claim to save you money. But watch out, as these providers may try a “bait and switch” scheme that causes you not to receive the promised rate.

Your Legal Rights Lori Swanson

WHAT IS A “BAIT AND SWITCH” SCHEME AND HOW DOES IT WORK? “Bait and switch” is a fraudulent sales tactic. Some internet and television providers use a version of “bait and switch” to get people to buy their services. These companies “bait” consumers by advertising promotional rates that promise to save consumers money. When consumers purchase the service, the companies then “switch” to a more expensive rate.

The first time consumers may learn of the “switch” is when they receive their bill from the new company.

TIPS TO AVOID BEING A VICTIM OF “BAIT AND SWITCH” Ask for all details about the promotion the company is actually offering. Before you buy, ask about the following and take good notes of the company’s responses. Better yet, get it in writing. Ask the company to clearly disclose: All rules and exceptions. Some companies offer promotions that come with dozens of complex rules and exceptions. Ask the company if the quoted price requires you to agree to any additional terms or if there are any exceptions that might cause you to not receive the promised rate.

BUSINESS BUZZ

Ness named among ‘America’s Best’ Lonnie Ness with RE/MAX Select, Inc. is among the 2,506 RE/MAX agents and teams featured in the 2017 REAL Trends “America’s Best Real Estate Agents” survey. The agents included in the survey represent less than one percent of all real estate professionals in the United States.

“Our number one priority is to help our clients have the best possible experience when selling or buying a home,” said Ness. “Being recognized alongside so many hard working and dedicated real estate professionals is an accomplishment and I’m honored to be named among ‘America’s Best.’

The REAL Trends “America’s Best Real Estate Agents” survey ranks participating agents in the United States based on residential transaction sides and sales volume of the previous year. To qualify, an individual must have closed 50 transaction sides or $20 million in closed sales volume and a team must have closed 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume last year.

Lonnie Ness has more than 16 years of experience in the East Central Minnesota marketplace. This is the fourth year in a row Ness has been recognized among “America’s Best.”

Roughly 20 percent of all individual agents and team leaders featured in this year’s edition of the annual survey were members of theRE/MAX network.

For the third straight year, RE/MAX qualified more agents than any other brand.

The total monthly price. Some quoted prices come with a series of additional fees that significantly increase the amount you will pay. In addition to confirming the base product price, be sure to ask about all additional fees the company will charge that will boost the price you will pay. Ask the company to tell you the total monthly price you will pay.

The length of the promotion. Some low “teaser” rates are designed to get you to sign up but end after a short time. Ask the company how long the promised price will last.

The rate after any promotion expires. Some companies give people initial “promotional” rates to get the customer in the door but increase their prices by large amounts after the promotion expires. Ask if a promotional rate applies, and if so, ask what rate you’ll have to pay once the promotional rate expires.

Early cancellation penalties.

Some companies charge people cancellation penalties for ending service, even to consumers who do not sign a contract.

Ask whether you may cancel the service at any time without penalty. If there is a penalty, ask how much it is and how long it applies.

Get the offer in writing. A reputable company should be willing to send you an email, letter, or text message putting its promises in writing. Be wary of companies that will not put their offers in writing. If the company tells you it will provide the information after you purchase the product, make sure that the company actually sends you this information. Some companies promise to disclose the price and rules of its promotions but never do. Contact the company if it fails to give you this information. If you do get the information, read all of it, especially the fine print.

Take notes. Take detailed notes about what the com-

Mora Municipal Utilities customers along Ninth Street in Mora experienced a brief power outage Monday, July 17, due to rerouting of power during construction work and high temperatures that peaked around 88 degrees.

Road construction along Ninth Street caused crews to reroute power supply through fuses that were rarely used and not up to date. The warm weather and high power use also added to the burden.

Duck numbers variable, Canada goose numbers up from last year

BY MN DNR

Population counts showed variable results for several species of ducks that breed in Minnesota, according to the results of the annual Department of Natural Resources spring waterfowl surveys.

“Mallard and blue-winged teal counts declined some from last year but we saw some increases in other species like ring-necked ducks, wood ducks and hooded mergansers,” said Steve Cordts, DNR waterfowl specialist. “However, there is always considerable variability in the annual estimates. The survey is designed for mallards and our breeding mallard population remains near its long-term average.”

This year’s mallard breeding population was estimated at 214,000, which is 15 percent below last year’s estimate of 250,000 breeding mallards and 6 percent below the long-term average measured each year since 1968.

The blue-winged teal population is 159,000 this year, 51 percent below last year’s estimate and 25 percent below the long-term average.

The combined populations of other ducks such as ring-necked ducks, wood ducks, gadwalls, northern shovelers, canvasbacks and redheads is 263,000, which is 23 percent higher than last year

and 48 percent above the long-term average.

The estimate of total duck abundance (excluding scaup) is 636,000, which is 19 percent lower than last year and 3 percent above the longterm average.

The estimated number of wetlands was 20 percent higher than last year and 5 percent above the long-term average. Wetland numbers can vary greatly based on annual precipitation.

The survey is used to estimate the number of breeding ducks or breeding geese that nest in the state rather than simply migrate through. In addition to the counts by the DNR, the continental waterfowl population estimates will be released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service later this summer.

DNR SURVEY METHODS The same waterfowl survey has been done each year since 1968 to provide an annual index of breeding duck abundance. The survey covers 40 percent of Minnesota and includes much of the state’s best remaining duck breeding habitat.

A DNR waterfowl biologist and pilot count all waterfowl and wetlands along established survey routes by flying low-level aerial surveys from a fixed-wing plane.

pany promises, including the price and terms of the promotion. Make sure to note the time and date of your call and ask each employee that you speak with for their name and employee identification number.

Knowing and providing this information may help you get the company to honor its quoted prices if it tries a “bait and switch.”

Kohlgraf, building construction and air conditioning use at the Trailview campus also drew an exceptional amount of power not typical for the school during summertime.

The combination of high power use and rerouting the power caused some fuses to fail which caused two separate power outages that totaled no more than an hour without power.

Kohlgraf said the fuse issue was repaired and he does not anticipate any further power outages.

early May to coincide with peak nesting activity of mallards. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides ground crews who also count waterfowl along some of the same survey routes. These data are then used to correct for birds not seen by the aerial crew.

CANADA GEESE This year’s Canada goose population was estimated at 322,000 geese, higher than last year’s estimate of 202,000 geese and 9 percent above the long-term average.

“With the early spring and favorable habitat, Canada geese had a very good nesting year and there are lots of young goslings present across the state,” Cordts said.

The number of breeding Canada geese in the state is estimated via a helicopter survey of nesting Canada geese in April. The survey counts Canada geese on randomly selected plots located in prairie, transition and forested areas of the state and includes most of the state except for the Twin Cities area metro area.
