Special elections add unplanned expenses to township budgets BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

A chain of events starting in January as Governor Tim Walz selecting Tony Lourey to serve in his administration has put local Kanabec and Pine counties through a string of candidate filings, primaries and special elections to fill vacant seats. Each special election adds costs that the county, townships and cities didn’t plan for. Portions of Kanabec County and most of Pine County have undergone two special primary elections and two special elections since January. Arthur Township treasurer Julie Fore estimated that each election day costs the township approximately $850 to pay election judges to staff the town hall as well as count and deliver ballots. Multiplied by four election days that adds up to about $3,400 since January through the upcoming March 19 special election. The Minnesota Senate District 11 and Minnesota House of Representatives District 11B special elections both affected 10 polling locations in Kanabec County. Kanabec County Auditor-Treasurer Denise Snyder said the cost of simply printing the ballots costs the county approximately $3,000 per election. Absentee voting costs also add up. Snyder said postage and return postage for each absentee ballot is mandated by law to be provided by the county. Neither the county nor the polling places receive outside funding to cover the costs of elections. The added task not only strains county coffers; county staff and election judges have taken on more time and effort to run an entire election cycle on an expedited timeline. State law allows only 35 days between the Governor’s issuance of a Writ of Special Election to the date of the General Election.

Each election day costs Arthur Township approximately $850

Farmers learn current corn, soybean growing challenges BY TERRY SALMELA UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION

Over 50 area corn and soybean producers were updated on many of the challenges that they have been facing in growing these crops in recent years at the Corn and Soybean Update Workshop on Tuesday, March 5 at the Pine City American Legion. University of Minnesota Extension Educator, Dave Nicholai, discussed the most troublesome invasive weed challenge in the area which is waterhemp. He showed live examples of waterhemp, redroot pigweed, palmer amaranth and powell which look much the same and can easily be

misidentified. He said that waterhemp needs several timely applications of herbicides to keep it under control. Jason Zastera, a fifth-generation farmer from Pine City and Ryan Clark, Minnesota Department of Agriculture, shared their experiences on how they have incorporated cover crops with reduced tillage into a conventional corn-soybean rotation. Other topics covered were urea in crop production and how to increase its efficiency with additives, placement and time of application by University of Minnesota Soil Scientist, Jared Spackman. White mold in soybeans which has been a problem locally in wet rainy NEWS 320-679-2661 editor@moraminn.com

summers was covered by U of M Plant Pathologist Jim Kurle. Crop insurance and the farm bill highlights were shared by Insurance Training Specialist with Compeer Financial, Amy Cramer. Options for changing soil pH with various forms of lime and available bi-products was discussed by U of M Extension Educator, Carlton County, Troy Salzer. The workshop was organized by University of Minnesota Extension with financial support from East Central Pioneer representatives; Gold Country Harvest; Federated Co-op; the East Central and Minnesota Corn Growers and Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Mountains of melting snow but culverts and drains still frozen may mean standing water in roadways - like this growing puddle at the intersection of Union Street and Highway 65 in Mora. Drivers should be cautious if conditions become extreme enough to ﬂood or close portions of the road.

Spring rain, melting snow and culverts plugged with ice can cause water to back up onto highways. The Minnesota Department of Transportation wants to remind motorists to be watchful for flooded areas as water can rise quickly. MnDOT crews have already been working to thaw frozen culverts and will continue to monitor conditions. If flooding occurs, lanes or other sections of highway may need to be closed with barricades and other traffic control devices. MnDOT wants to remind all motorists that driving through standing or moving water is dangerous and that it is unlawful to drive through areas where roads are barricaded. Vehicles can be swept away in only several inches of moving water.

Driving is routine but attentiveness is critical to safety

Question: Can someone that had a shoulder replacement and will be in a sling for four more weeks still be legal to drive with one arm? Answer: There are no restrictions placed on a license for this situation, unless a physician notifies Driver and Vehicle Services of such. If the driver’s (lack of) control of the vehicle due to this type Ask A of injury causes other issues that made for a Trooper traffic stop or if that Neil Dickenson person was involved in a crash, a citation could be issued. As drivers, we alone are in control of what we pay attention to while driving. That is an action you have 100 percent

control of. It starts with you each and every time you get behind the wheel. Distracted or inattentive driving is when a driver engages in any activity that might distract them from the primary task of driving — and increases their risk of crashing. Over the last five years (2013-2018) in Minnesota, distracted or inattentive driving was a contributing factor in an average of 54 deaths and 221 serious injuries each year. The Department of Traffic Safety Office of Traffic Safety estimates these numbers are underreported due to law enforcement’s challenge in determining distraction as a crash factor. While many motorists may perceive driving as a routine activity, attentive driving is critical as the traffic environment changes constantly and drivers must be prepared to react.

If so, ask them to call back at a safer time. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt.

TIPS TO AVOID DISTRACTED DRIVING •Cell phones: Turn off cell phones, or place them out of reach to avoid the urge to text, call or answer. If a passenger is present, ask them to handle calls/ texts. •Music and other controls: Pre-program favorite radio stations for easy access and arrange music (mp3 player/ CDs/tapes) in an easy-to-access spot. Adjust mirrors and heat/AC before traveling, or ask a passenger to assist. •Navigation: Designate a passenger to serve as a co-pilot to help with directions. If driving alone, map out destinations in advance, and pull over to study a map. •Eating and drinking: Try to avoid food/beverage, at least messy foods, and be sure food and drinks are secured. •Children: Teach children the impor-

MARCH 14, 2019

Be beyond basic

esides antibiotic resistant super bacteria, one of my greatest fears is being “basic.” To call someone “basic” is to say they lack any kind of specialness, or intrigue. They are a dime a dozen. Painfully normal. Laughably unoriginal. I know, I know — all millennials are apparently “snowflakes” or were raised to think they were “special.” I’m not talking about wanting a participation trophy. I want to avoid being boring. I’m afraid I have had so much entertainment at my fingertips that I haven’t learned to enterEditor tain myself. Kirsten Faurie I’m afraid one day, I will look up from my phone and realize I d ’ have h don’t any skills, talents or hobbies beyond scrolling to the next entertaining video. Fortunately I have found a solution. GET BORED My own experience has shown me that in order to avoid being boring, I need to get bored. Being bored forces me to come up with my own form of entertainment, keeps me from relying on my phone or TV. This weekend was a potty-training marathon for my toddler (no, it isn’t going well, but I’m sure she’ll figure it out before she’s 18). We stayed home all weekend, within 30 feet of a toilet at all times. While waiting at the ready to dash my daughter to the toilet, I got bored. So bored. I wandered aimlessly through the house until I saw a book on my shelf: a beginner’s guide to bonsai. Maybe an interest in bonsai sounds pretentious, but I love growing things and the idea of bonsai intrigues me. I had dabbled with bonsai before, but nothing ever came of it. My trees tended to either grow full size, die, or would look like someone poked a stick with a huge, single leaf into a pot. How do bonsai masters get their trees to have a thick canopy of teeny, tiny little leaves? My beginners guide wasn’t much of a guide in answering this question. I went to my phone, but instead of mindlessly scrolling, I was researching. I learned that if I want a bonsai to have hundreds of little leaves, I need to focus on the roots first, then consider defoliating the entire thing in the growing season. It was like going down the rabbit hole. I got absorbed in the different trunk thickening techniques, maintenance routines and pot styles. I had fun, I learned something and my next visit to the bonsai room of the Como Park’s Marjorie McNeely Conservatory will have much more meaning. Now, whether or not I can actually implement the things I learned will be an entirely new challenge, perfect for future Sunday afternoons. If I fail it won’t matter. It’s all part of practicing a new skill and finding something to engage my brain and my hands. Do you need to do bonsai to keep from being boring? No. A person could be into comic books, woodworking, knitting, photography, dance, duct tape art, birdwatching, board games, computer programing, beekeeping, archery, brewing beer or whatever floats your boat. Heck, you could even be into boats. Find something (anything) that intrigues you and run with it rather than relying on mindless browsing and channel flipping to fill your days.

QUOTABLES

It’s not God - it’s us To the editor, It was the sliding hill on the south side of my house that first inspired me to write about climate change. The icy speedway was the highlight of our family Christmas party all through the 1980’s until, with few exceptions, the winters no longer supported the track. As with our local ski race itself, the snow surrendered to the untimely warmth of increasingly fickle weather patterns. There was a lot more laughing and pooh, poohing at my “human caused weather” letters back then. Now that ancient ice samples have correlated this most rapid weather change directly with human fossil fuel consumption however, only the blind refuse to see what is today proven fact. It’s not God’s design of our climate that is melting our poles, raising our oceans, filling our newscasts with floods and tornados, and threatening the lives of entire species. It’s our blind consumption. The very preponderance of our numbers coupled with a senseless need for “more, more, more,” flies in the face of those who truly cherish a sustainable existence under God’s care. We’re blowing it, and if God is doing anything, he’s trying to tell us just that. Pete Stewart Mora

HEARD ON THE STREET BY KIM LUECK-FOSS Knights of Columbus Fish Fry at St. Mary’s, March 8, we asked the following question:

If you were in charge, what would you rename FirstLight Health System?

Chad Keehr Mora

Sue Flikk S Flikke Brook Park

Brock Peterson, age 11 Brook Park

Marcus Faber Mora

Elaine Keehr Mora

Carl Nordquist Mora

I would go back to “Kanabec Hospital.” I just like the old name.

“Area Community Hospital.”

“Denny’s Health,” after my grandpa.

“Tri-Community Health Care,” I heard it from my neighbor.

“General Hospital,” because no one would be offended. It would be great if [the actors] could make guest appearances.

“True Care Health System,” because the doctors believe in treating people with the best care possible.

SUNSHINE WEEK: MARCH 10-16

It’s your right to know

or government to be of, by and for the people it must be out in front of the people. The theme for Sunshine Week 2019 is simply, “It’s your right to know.” The reason it’s your right to know is that it’s your government. From the courthouse, to the statehouse to the White House, it is your right to know what government is up to. Sunshine Every deliberation by city council, counJim Zachary ty commission, the General Assembly or U.S. Congress is the people’s business. Every penny spent by local, state and federal government is your money. Every document held in the halls of government belongs to you. Transparency is not, or at least should not be, partisan. Access to government meetings and public documents should never be arduous or even controversial. Government derives all of its powers from the public and is answerable to the public. It is unfortunate state and federal laws are needed to protect the public’s right to know. Of course, we know those laws are needed and more often than not must be leveraged by people requesting even the most basic information from elected and appointed officials. No branch of government should exempt itself from freedom of information laws and no person in government should seek to circumvent those laws. Accessing government information and attending deliberative meetings should simply be viewed as democracy in action and not as an adversarial relationship between the governing and the governed. Access laws are not media laws. Every person should have free and open access. The right to know is not only an

American right, it is fundamentally right. Government secrecy that goes beyond national security is fundamentally wrong. So records custodians at city hall, the county courthouse, with the public school system or at the state capitol must not bristle when a person asks for public records. The records requestors are simply asking for a copy of what belongs to them already. Records requestors should not create an unnecessarily hostile relationship when making requests. A records request and fulfillment should be a basic, and ordinary, transaction between government and the public it serves. City council, county commission, the board of education, the General Assembly and its committees should not balk at the public’s right to attend meetings and should not look for every excuse to retreat into an executive session or closed door meeting. Attending meetings, sitting in on deliberations, understanding not only what decisions are reached but how those decisions are reached are all things which are simply basic American rights, fundamental to living in an open and free society. In our politically charged, polarized, vitriolic climate there is very little conservatives and progressives can agree on. The public’s right to know is one thing that everyone, both in and out of government, both left and right leaning, and at the local, state and federal levels, should agree on. We are the government. The government is us. It is, therefore, everyone’s fundamental right to know what government is, and is not, doing.

Is competition bad for kids? BY THE AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION WWW.COUNSELING.ORG

Competition is a fact of life, especially for children. It may include anything from who did best on the spelling test, to organized sports in or out of school. And while competition can bring stress about doing well, or disappointment when efforts come up short, healthy competition is actually a good thing for children. Child development experts advise that healthy competition helps children velop skills needed in adulthood. develop hey learn to take turns, to work hard They for success, perhaps to be a team player, d how to deal with both winning and and ing. losing. t’s important for parents to help It’s ide their children in handling comguide titive experiences.

KANABEC COUNTY TIMES

MARCH 14, 2019 www.moraminn.com

Only Mr. Pope’s safe withstands the test of ﬁre 125 YEARS AGO (1894) “Mrs. M. R. Kent Shot:” Mrs. M. R. Kent, formerly of Mora, was instantly killed at Mandan, N. D., Wednesday morning. It is claimed that burglars were trying to get into the farm house, and the hired man disNews from covering their presence got a Yesteryear shot gun and fired. Instead Matt Anderson of shooting the burglars he shot Mrs. Kent. He was arrested and an inquest held. The old settlers of Kanabec county who knew Mrs. Kent will receive the tidings with sorrow. Tuesday was town election day. It passed off quietly in this village, there being no opposition whatever to the straight tickets. James Cameron and Jack Hurd have joined forces and made application for a license to open a saloon in this village. They have bought the Borgeson building. “Embers From the Fire:” The destruction of the courthouse, which occurred on the morning of last press day, was very complete. The treasurer on opening his safe found his books so badly injured as to render them unfit for use. The files in the judge of probate’s safe were badly charred and most of them will have to be rewritten in order to preserve their contents. The auditor’s safe was thoroughly emptied before the fire reached it so nothing was left therein to be injured. Mr. Pope’s safe was the only one which withstood the test of the fire; the contents of it came out in just as good shape as ever. The contents of the vault came through all right but badly smoked. No records of

value were lost in the fire, and in that respect the county was very fortunate. The county commissioners met here on Monday and made arrangements for the auditor and treasurer to occupy quarters in the village hall. The woodshed has been placed in front of the vault and is being fixed up for the use of the register of deeds and county attorney. Messrs. Brown, Treacy & Co., have given the treasurer the use of a fireproof safe belonging to them here. In their cramped quarters, the officers will have to do business until a new courthouse shall be erected. We understand that the commissioner will clear the way for erecting a new building just as soon as time and the facilities to work with will permit. The fire brings to the minds of our citizens the fact that the village has no facilities whatever to fight fire with. They all see the great need of a fire apparatus of some sort and we hope to see an outfit secured before another year closes. A few hundred dollars expended in extinguishers is not felt at all compared with the irrecoverable losses sustained by fire. 100 YEARS AGO (1919) “Mora High School Team Has Successful Season; Winning Seven Games and Losing Only Two of the Hard Fought Battles:” The Mora High School basketball team played the last High School game of the season last Friday night. The team which represented the High School was one which was a credit to the school. The boys won 7 games and lost 2. Although they did not win from Sandstone, this game was the most thrilling that has ever been played on the local floor. Final score: Sandstone 12, Mora, 11.

75 YEARS AGO (1944) “New Central Hotel Ownership Changes:” Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Olson have sold their New Central hotel business to Mrs. J. E. Pierson, who took possession last week. Miss Edna Wigen will assist her aunt with the work at the hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Olson are spending a few days in Minneapolis. On Friday evening a farewell dance will be given for them at Pierson’s Ranch. Later they expect to make a trip out west. Mrs. Pierson has been living in Minneapolis since disposing of her interest in the Bismark and Roman cafe. Her many friends are glad to have her back in Mora and wish her success in her new undertaking. Mr. Pierson is employed by the Land O’ Lakes Creameries, and is away from home a great deal of the time. 50 YEARS AGO (1969) “Snowmobile Rolls Over; Driver Gets Broken Leg:” Ronald Kadlec of Mora broke his right leg above the knee in a snowmobile accident last week Wednesday night. He was snowmobiling on the Bronson

farm when his machine rolled over. He was taken by ambulance to Kanabec hospital where he remained overnight: next day he was transferred to Fairview hospital in Minneapolis where his leg was placed in traction. He will undergo surgery Friday. “Johnsons To Open Store in Grasston:” Mr. and Mrs. Clifford A. Johnson have purchased the former Grahn’s store in Grasston. They plan to open later this month after they complete an extensive remodeling program and install new fixtures. Mrs. Beth Johnson has been a secretary at Peoples National bank. She resigned effective Tuesday after a year and a half at the bank. 25 YEARS AGO (1994) “Next stop: St. Cloud; Reynolds’ 33 too much for Tigers; Mustangs gain Section 4A berth:” Tim Reynolds could not remember the last time he scored 30 points in a basketball game. It might have been five years ago, back when he was a seventh-grader, but he couldn’t be sure.

No matter! Last Friday night in Foley, while playing Rush City in the championship game of the Subsection IV tournament, Reynolds turned in a 33-point performance that the whole town of Mora is unlikely to forget for a long, long time. “It’s the highest I’ve had this year,” the 6-4 senior Mustang guard, whose previous season-best had been a 24-point outing against Braham, said. “Miami trip a success, Bluewater team says:” Apparently, Bluewater’s new business plan is working! Officials of the Mora yachtbuilding company, recently returning from their “Super Bowl,” which is the Miami International Boat Show, reported having a successful business trip. The three boats Bluewater displayed in Miami all were sold, according to Bob Clarin, the company’s chief executive officer, and three other “firm orders” were accepted. Bluewater restructured its operations on March 1, 1993, downscaling employment to 40 people and committing to custom building. Consequently, the company now is creating only 18 to 36 luxury boats a year, compared to at least twice that number five years ago; however, it’s also receiving $300,000 to $800,000 an order now, compared to $175,000 to $250,000 five years ago. “Now, every boat is a custom-built boat,” said Al Sanders, the plant superintendent. “Every (employee) feels good to be able to work alongside the customer.” THE NEWS From Yesteryear is compiled by Matt Anderson from the Times historical editions housed by the Kanabec History Center. The “News from Yesteryear” contains articles published in historic issues of the Times.

Salute to Scouting March 10-16 is Girl Scout Week!

Girl Scouts unleashes the G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ in every girl, preparing her for a lifetime of leadership—from taking a night-time hike under the stars to accepting a mission on the International Space Station; from lobbying the city council with her troop to holding a seat in Congress; from running her own cookie business today to tackling cybersecurity tomorrow.

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a one-of-a-kind leadership development program for girls, with proven results. It is based on time-tested methods and research-backed programming that help girls take the lead—in their own lives and in the world. Research shows that girls learn best in an all-girl, girl-led and girl-friendly environment. Girl Scouts is a place where she’ll practice different skills, explore her potential, take on leadership positions—and even feel allowed to fail, dust herself off, get up and try again.

The Girl Scouts Lakes and Pines Council serves more than 7,200 members in northern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. Girls in kindergarten through 12th grade can join a troop or participate individually at any time throughout the year.

Program levels include: Girl Scout Daisy (Grades K-1); Girl Scout Brownie (Grades 2-3); Girl Scout Junior (Grades 4-5); Girl Scout Cadette (Grades 6-8); Girl Scout Senior (Grades 9-10); and Girl Scout Ambassador (Grades 11-12)

Bronze. Silver. Gold. These represent the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn. All three awards give you the chance to do big things while working on an issue that’s captured your interest in a big way.

Did you know? National Gold Award Girl Scouts are awarded college scholarships and other opportunities to sustain their Gold Award projects. Gold Award Girl Scouts can immediately rise one full rank in all four branches of the U.S. military.

Stars create a March tea party

arch mornings glow with the light of Jupiter and Saturn, both well up in the southeast to south in the predawn sky. The two planets flank the Teapot of Sagittarius, with Jupiter the higher and brighter planet. Above Saturn hangs the little Teaspoon of stars. Far to the lower left of Saturn, VeMinnesota nus drifts toward the sun’s foreglow. Starwatch When daylight saving time Deane Morrison returns at 2 a.m. March 10, it makes lif il easier for earlife ttemporarily ly-bird starwatchers. The biggest difference comes at the outset; on the morning of the switchover, the

sun rises nearly an hour later than the day before. This advantage dwindles away in just a month, so enjoy it while you can. In the evening sky, Mars holds its own in the west. Meanwhile, the bright winter constellations close in on the red planet as they begin their descent to the horizon. On March 31, Mars will be lined up with two bright stars: Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, the bull; and Betelgeuse, Orion’s right shoulder. Also that night, the lovely Pleiades star cluster passes close to Mars. March’s full moon arrives at 8:43 p.m. on the March 20. Its closeness to Earth qualifies it as another “supermoon,” and it will rise, round and lovely, as sunset draws near. This full moon comes just a few hours into spring, which begins with the vernal equinox at 4:58

p.m. on the March 20. At that moment, Earth’s axis will tilt neither toward nor away from the sun, and our planet will be lighted from pole to pole. During the last 10 days of the month, look for the elusive zodiacal light an hour or so after sunset. This time of year, it appears as a faint finger of light pointing up from the sunset horizon along the sun’s path, and is visible only in dark skies with no interfering moon. Its soft shimmer comes from sunlight reflecting off dust in the plane of the solar system. DEANE MORRISON is a writer and editor with the University of Minnesota Office of University Relations.

Presence has power to move people

n Jesus’ day, people loathed tax collectors, the worst kinds of thieves, supported by the Romans to steal from the people. Most people refused to associate with them. Yet, in Matthew 9, Jesus encounters a tax collector named Matthew whom he invites to follow him, goes to his house, eats at his table and is present with Matthew and his friends. Out of that, Matthew becomes one of Jesus’ 12 closest followers, an Focus on early church leader, eventually writing Faith the gospel of Matthew ultimately giving Kirk Knudsen and up his life for Jesus. Jesus’ presence moved

Matthew from being far from God to following him. In Jesus’ day, people loathed Samaritans, considered ethnic half-breeds with skewed religion. Most would travel far out of their way to avoid contact or association with them. Yet, in John 4, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman. He asks for a drink. She was at the water-well by herself, an outcast from the town. Instead of ignoring her, Jesus invites her into a conversation. He is present with her, a woman and Samaritan, whose labels should alone should have prevented association. But, Jesus spends time with her at the well, then spends two more days present with her and her townspeople. Out of that, the woman and many more from her town believed Jesus was “indeed the Savior of the world.” Jesus’ presence moved

the woman and her town from being far from God to following him. In Jesus’ day, people loathed the spiritually unclean or oppressed. They were considered dangerous, unpredictable and hopeless. They were isolated outside of population centers. Yet, in Mark 5, Jesus encounters a spiritually unclean and oppressed man, running around naked and living among the tombs, whom he boldly approaches. Jesus is present with him, possibly the first dignifying human contact he had experienced in years. Out of that, Jesus frees him from his demons, restores him to his right mind and commissions him to tell others what the Lord did for him. That formerly crazy man began spreading the news about Jesus through a 10-city region. Jesus’ presence moved the man from being far

from God to following him. In our day, people loath others who are different. Different religions, ethnicities, histories, ages, sexual identities, political leanings, mental capacities and beliefs. As we encounter different or difficult people, we can be present with them as Jesus modeled. Jesus is then present with them through us. We should seek ways to eat with people, to go to their turf and to overcome social and cultural barriers between us. Because when we bring Jesus’ presence to people, they are changed and transformed. As we choose to be present with people Jesus will use us to move them from being far from God to following him. KIRK KNUDSEN is the lead pastor at Trio Community Church in Mora.

Classic Living Questions to ask when your doctor prescribes a new medicine Though few people may want to take medicine each day, prescription drugs prolong lives and help people manage conditions that might otherwise make it difficult to live life to the fullest. A 2017 survey from Consumer Reports found that 55 percent of people living in the United States take a prescription medicine. The survey also found that those who take prescription drugs use an average of four such medications. That figure might alarm some people, especially aging men and women whose bodies might be more susceptible to conditions that are often treated with medication. There’s no denying that prescription drugs can save lives. But men and women have a right to explore their options when doctors prescribe them medications, and asking the right questions when doctors suggest medication can help men and women decide if prescription medicine is their best option. To help men and women make the best decisions regarding their healthcare, the National Institute on Aging advises people

to ask their physicians these questions when being prescribed a new medicine. • What is the name of the medicine, and why am I taking it? • Which medical condition does this medicine treat? • How many times a day should I take the medicine, and at what times should I take it? • If the prescription instructions say the medicine must be taken “four times a day,” does that mean four times in 24 hours or four times during the daytime? • How much medicine should I take? • Should I take the medicine on its own or with food? Should I avoid certain foods and beverages when taking this medicine? • How long will it take this medicine to work? • Will this medicine cause problems if I am taking other medicines? • Can I safely operate a motor vehicle while taking this medication?

• What does “as needed” mean? • When should I stop taking the medicine? • What should I do if I forget to take my medicine? • Can I expect any side effects? What should I do if I have a problem? • Will I need a refill, and how do I arrange that? When discussing medications with a physician, it’s imperative that men and women be forthcoming about any other medicines they might be taking under the guidance of other doctors. In addition, men and women should tell their physicians about any over-the-counter medicines or vitamins and supplements they are taking. Sharing such information can prevent potentially serious complications from arising. Medicine saves lives every day. Smart patients can help medicine do its job by learning about their medications and discussing them openly and honestly with their physicians.

les Lunar eclipse dazz

observers The night of Sunday, Jan. 20, skies were clear of clouds and many endured the cold to catch a glimpse of a total lunar eclipse. The ﬁrst full moon a of 2019 was “supermoon” meaning it was very close to the earth and appeared large and bright. At 9:34 p.m. it began to move into the Earth’s umbra, thus casting a shadow on the moon. The moon was totally eclipsed from 11:12-11:43 p.m. Kevin Carr of Hinckley captured these images of the event with a telescope and his iphone. The next total lunar eclipse will be in May, 2021.

Enjoy corned beef and cabbage this St. Patrick’s Day Corned beef and cabbage might not be a part of many people’s diet regimens throughout the year. But come March 17, it’s not uncommon to find people from all walks of life indulging in this beloved meal. March 17 marks the celebration of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Over the years, the day has also become a celebration of the Emerald Isle. Such celebrations tend to feature corned beef and cabbage, even though the dish may have little to do with Ireland (and even less to do with St. Patrick). The precise origins of the link between corned beef and St. Patrick’s Day remain a topic of debate, but some historians say the corned beef enjoyed today can be traced to New York City’s Irish immigrant population in the 19th and 20th centuries, who popularized a salted meat made from brisket that was then sold by Jewish butchers. Regardless of the authenticity of its link to Ireland, corned beef is delicious and many modern St. Paddy’s Day celebrants wouldn’t think of going without it on March 17. Those who want to cook up their own can try this recipe for “Corned Beef and Cabbage” from Arthur Schwartz’s “New York City Food” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE from Arthur Schwartz’s “New York City Food” Cook a whole brisket with both sections together with all its fat. (You can trim off the fat after the meat is cooked.) Whole brisket and second-cut corned beef brisket are hard to ﬁnd, but your supermarket should have ﬁrst-cut corned beef vacuum-packed in plastic. Choose the fattiest piece in the case and treat it gently. You can cook the cabbage and potatoes in the same water as the corned beef. Because the other vegetables need to be cooked in water that simmers more than the meat, scoop out water from the corned beef pot and cook the vegetables in a separate pot or pots. Ingredients: 1 corned beef brisket (4-5 pounds) 1 teaspoon pickling spices 1 head cabbage 2 pounds boiling potatoes 6-8 small carrots (optional) Parsnips (optional) Turnips (optional)

On Tuesday, March 19th, VOTE:

9 NATHAN NELSON

Place the corned beef in a pot that holds at least 5 quarts of water. Cover completely with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to a simmer. As soon as bubbles start to break on the surface of the water, adjust the heat so the water simmers very, very gently. With a slotted spoon, skim off the residue that accumulates on the surface. When the residue stops coming to the surface, add the pickling spices. Continue to cook, with bubbles just gently breaking on the surface, for 3 to 4 hours, until fork tender. The meat can be safely held in its water for about 2 hours; reheat gently. Cook the vegetables until fork tender in separate pots of boiling fresh water or, especially for the cabbage, use some of the water in which the corned beef was cooked. Slice the corned beef and serve with mustard and/or horseradish on a platter, surrounded with some of the vegetables or with vegetables in a separate bowl.

Mora senior Gavin Orr made remarkable achievements during the 2018-19 Mustang boys hockey season. “Gavin tied for most goals in the state,” said head coach Kevin Nolt, “and was third statewide for points scored.” Orr scored 40 points during the regular season, tying for first in Minnesota with senior Mason Plante from Marshall and sophomore Zak Kennett from Red Lake Falls. He also made 31 assists for a total of 71 points scored, third in the state behind Plante and senior Bryce Brodzinski from Blaine. Nolt said that Orr’s offensive abilities are special. “During the year Gavin was extremely dangerous with the puck on his stick,” he said. “He could beat opposing players with his speed, his stick handling, or by shooting the puck. A couple of times I didn’t know how he was able to pull off a move. He hopes to play junior hockey next year.” Over five seasons Orr played 118 games for the Mustangs, scored 97 goals and made 102 assists for a career total of 199 points scored. In four years of Section playoffs, 2015 and 2017-19, he played six games with six goals and four assists.

Lions look ahead to next season BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Ogilvie Lions boys basketball team wrapped up a disheartening season with plans to emphasize fundamentals during the offseason. Through significant game experience and tenacity, the team’s prospects for improvement are good. “Two major needs emerged this season,” said assistant coach Art Sanbeck. “First, we didn’t play good team defense. We made good individual efforts but we struggled as a team. Second, we need to shoot better. We’d run our offense the way we should and got some open shots, but we couldn’t hit them.” “On a positive note, the guys never quit during a game. Even when things weren’t going right, they

kept playing hard.” Ogilvie finished the regular season with a 0-22 record, eighth place in the Great River Conference and 10th in Section 5A South. On Monday, March 4 the Lions were eliminated in the first round of Section 5A playoffs by a 74-35 loss to Onamia. “In the Section tournament game we came out strong against Onamia and were down by five at halftime,” Sanbeck said. “We played solid defense, and had pretty much shut down their main scorer. If we’d shot a little better, we could’ve taken the lead. But in the second half we kind of fell apart on both ends of the court, and it wasn’t close at the end.” Last year the Lions went 2-24; again eighth in the GRC, 10th in the subsection and eliminat-

‘They know that it won’t be easy, but if they work hard and keep a good attitude things will get better.’ Art Sanbeck Assistant Coach ed from playoffs by a loss to Onamia. Sanbeck said that low participation numbers made it necessary for Lions players to do “double duty” this season. “We’d like to get more players to come out,” he said. “Out of necessity, we had quite a few guys playing both varsity and junior varsity. A lot of our guys played three halves of basketball a night, and so gained a lot of game experience.”

“But it was frustrating for both the players and the coaches. We’d play decent for a while, but we weren’t able to sustain it for an entire game. No matter what offense or defense we were in, we’d go through stretches where we really struggled.” Sanbeck said that he and head coach Dan Stiel will encourage next year’s players to work on basics during the offseason. “Going to open gym and practicing shooting will help,” he said. “We believe that most of our returning players have the ability to provide leadership,” Sanbeck said. “I think our players believe that we’ll improve. They know that it won’t be easy, but if they work hard and keep a good attitude things will get better.”

Strong defense key for Mustang basketball BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

This season the Mora Mustangs boys basketball team was known for its aggressive full-court defense, holding their own against opponents ranked in the top 10 teams statewide. Consistency in defense combined with an emphasis on shooting will ensure greater success in seasons to come. The Mustangs finished the regular season with a 10-16 overall record, eighth place in the Granite Ridge Conference and 13th in Section 6AA. They were eliminated from postseason play on Thursday, March 8 with a 79-60 loss to Spectrum. “Our bench was one of our strengths this year,” said head coach Curt Grachek. “We had a consistent rotation of nine players: seniors Drew Elvehjem, Kaden Smart, Matt Venhuizen and Caleb Weaver; juniors Lucas Athey and Cole Steffen; and sophomores Jeff Lilienthal, Andrew Rasmusson and Ben Wright. Matt Venhuizen’s intensity and leadership were crucial to our quality of play throughout the season.” “Our depth allowed us to play a very intense, aggressive form of full-court defense. I think that fit our players’ strengths, and al-

‘I’m very proud of how hard this team worked, displaying great teamwork and chemistry.’ Curt Grachek Head Coach lowed us to be much more competitive throughout the season. Our deep bench allowed us a consistent intensity for the entire game. We didn’t have a drop-off in quality of play when we substituted, and our opponents’ scoring average went down nearly seven points per game compared to last year.” Last year the Mustangs also finished at 10-16, seventh in the GRC and 14th in the section, and lost to St. Cloud Cathedral in the playoffs. Consistent scoring is the team’s top need, according to Grachek. “In games where we struggled, we’d have a four- to five-minute stretch where we failed to score. Sometimes the problem would be early shots that were poor decisions: forcing parts of our offense, or just good shots that didn’t go in,” he said. “The GRC is very tough. St.

Cloud Cathedral, who we played to a one-point loss in their gym (78-77 on Jan. 24) and Albany, who we beat in their gym (60-44 on Jan. 15) have been in the top 10 rankings all season. Though we didn’t play a spectacular game that night, beating Albany was a highlight. Most memorable for me was the fans’ appreciation on Senior Night, Feb. 28, when we beat East Central 69-31.” To prepare for next season, Mustang coaches will highlight scoring from every player. “Our Summer Skills sessions will emphasize shooting, shooting and more shooting,” he said. “Also, next year will be the first in the last six that we don’t have a returning captain. The leadership positions are open to any player who wants to put himself forward, and wins the confidence of his teammates.” “I’m very proud of how hard this team worked, displaying great teamwork and chemistry. They had a great work ethic throughout the season. Even with numerous schedule changes, they came to practice with focus and an intent on improvement. I believe the players expect Mora to become an even tougher defensive team, and a much more productive offensive team.”

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS March 12, 2019 The following Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation officer weekly reports explain the activities performed by Division of Enforcement personnel in protecting Minnesota’s natural resources through effective law enforcement and education. Provided by the MN DNR on March 12, 2019. Mora: Conservation Officer Mike Krauel spent the week working snowmobiles and following up on ﬁsh houses left after the removal deadline. Krauel also spent time on equipment maintenance. Pine City: Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn took calls this past week regarding snowmobile registration, ATV operation, and questions about road-killed animals. He spent time monitoring ﬁsh house removal efforts and answered numerous questions about ice conditions and whether the DNR would be extending the shelter deadline. Hinckley: Conservation Officer Bret Grundmeier spent most of the week patrolling snowmobile trails. All area trails were in excellent condition. Most violations found included unregistered sleds and failing to have the required trail sticker on grant-in-aid trails. A few operators who tried going off-trail and snowmobiling through ditches were found buried in snow and trying to dig out of 5-foot-deep snow drifts. Time was also spent meeting with game farm owners and doing inspections. Milaca: Conservation Officer Nathan Benkofske reports spending time on area lakes making sure everyone has their shelters off. Time was also spent riding local snowmobile trails and investigating a case of ATV riders on grant-in aid trails. Enforcement action was taken for possession of marijuana, not stopping for stop signs on snowmobiles, loud exhaust, and trespass. A taxidermy inspection was also completed during this past week.

Become a DNR conservation officer BY MN DNR WWW.DNR.STATE.MN.US

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is holding a career fair Friday, March 15, from 5 to 8 p.m. for anyone interested in learning more about the career of a conservation officer. The agency currently is recruiting candidates for a Conservation Officer Academy to be held in spring 2020. Several of the DNR’s newest officers will be onhand during the open house, ready to answer questions and share their perspectives on the career with attendees. During the current hiring effort, which runs through April 12, the DNR seeks candidates who don’t have previous law enforcement experience but with at least a two-year degree from a regionally accredited university. The agency will seek applications from those with law enforcement experience early this summer. “Our conservation officers are integral parts of their communities and bring with them a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences,” said Rodmen Smith, director of the DNR Enforcement Division. “This career fair is a great opportunity for anyone who might be interested in becoming a conservation officer – regardless of their background – to have their questions answered and learn more about this important and rewarding career.” The open house will take place in the lobby area of DNR Headquarters at 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155. Additional information, including a link to the application, is on the DNR website.

Special Election March 19 STAFF REPORT EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

Two candidates will face each other in the March 19 special election to represent District 11B in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Republican Nathan Nelson won the March 5 primary and will face DFL candidate Tim Burkhardt on Tuesday, March 19. Minnesota’s District 11B covers most of Pine County

and the eastern half of Kanabec County. The District 11B seat became vacant after Republican Jason Rarick resigned from the position effective Feb. 12 to be sworn in as state senator from District 11. Those wishing to cast absentee ballots during the shortened election period can obtain a ballot at the Pine County Courthouse, the Kanabec County Courthouse or

through the Minnesota Secretary of State website at mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us (https://bit. ly/1sm4scW). Absentee ballots must arrive at the proper destination (through mail or delivered by hand) by 3 p.m. on special election day. District 11B residents can register to vote online now or at their polling place March 19.

VOTER GUIDE: State Representative District 11B (elect 1) Tell us about yourself, your background and qualiﬁcations: I am the third generation to own and operate our family farm east of Hinckley where we raise beef cattle and grow crops. I have Nathan Nelson served in many volRepublican unteer capacities on local boards and committees, including being elected as supervisor for Clover Township for the past nine years. I am the president of Pine County Farm Bureau and I’m serving on the U of M Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnership board. I have been through MARL (Minnesota Agriculture & Rural Leadership) which is an intensive leadership program. My family’s roots in this district go back more than 100 years. I know the issues and challenges facing the area and will work to give voice to those concerns in Saint Paul. Should a fee be assessed against pharmaceutical companies to help combat the opioid epidemic?: The opioid epidemic has hurt rural Minnesota especially hard, but there are a lot of patients who rely on opioid medication for legitimate uses including pain relief and endof-life care. Making those drugs more expensive only hurts the user, as opposed to the companies who should be held accountable. I want to see what comes from the various lawsuits that have been ﬁled against the pharmaceutical companies before we act on the state level. What is your preference for raising additional money for roads and bridges, or is current funding sufficient?: Last session the legislature dedicated existing auto sales taxes to roads and bridges putting billions into roads and bridges without a gas tax. I don’t support Gov. Walz’s huge gas tax increase because it hurts families in our area who commute long distances to Duluth and the Twin Cities hardest.

We have a $1 billion surplus, let’s use that before we even think about tax increases. Some local government bodies continue to push for eliminating public notices from newspapers and moving them to government websites. What’s your view on permitting public notices to be disseminated only by local government bodies by means of their own websites?: There are a lot of people who don’t have internet access who should have access to public notices. These public notices are also important to keeping our small-town newspapers in business. I also feel this is a local issue that doesn’t necessarily have to be decided at the state level. School shootings have increased concerns about student safety. What do you feel should be done to protect students?: As a father to five kids, I want to keep kids safe in schools, places of worship and elsewhere. The bills being proposed right now unfortunately are unlikely to have an impact on keeping guns out of the hands of those who want to do harm. Instead, they ratchet up requirements on law-abiding citizens while doing little to stop criminals who don’t follow the law in the first place. We should put our focus on school safety funding, and doing a better job on mental health and making sure individuals who are troubled are being taken care of and having their mental health needs addressed. Are there other issues you want to address?: Two issues I know that are important to our area: Health care and broadband access. I want to find ways to increase competition and transparency to help drive down health care costs. I also support expanding broadband so families, schools and businesses have the same high-speed access and tools that people in other parts of the state do. It’s something that will help our economic competitiveness and give people flexibility to work from home and businesses the ability to compete.

POLLING PLACES Voting will take place at the following polling places. The polling places will open at 7:00 a.m. (EXCEPT AS NOTED) and close at 8:00 p.m. Precinct Location Polling Place (Polling Place Address) Arthur Township Town Hall (1899 Frontage Rd, Mora 55051) Brunswick Township Town Hall (2125 Hwy 70, Mora 55051) Comfort Township Town Hall (1948 Olympic St, Mora 55051) Grass Lake Township Town Hall (2406 Hwy 70, Braham 55006) Knife Lake Township Town Hall (2013 260th Ave, Mora 55051) Kroschel Township * Town Hall (3698 Velvet St, Sandstone 55072) Pomroy Township Town Hall (3047 320th Ave, Brook Park 55007) Whited Township Town Hall (2448 260th Ave, Brook Park 55007) City of Grasston City Hall (207 Union St, Grasston 55030) City of Mora City Hall (101 Lake St S, Mora 55051) City of Quamba City Hall (22735 Quamba St, Quamba 55007) * Denote Precincts where polls open at 10:00 a.m.

(includes most of Pine County; in Kanabec County: Kroschel, Pomroy, Knife Lake, Whited, Arthur, Comfort, Brunswick & Grass Lake townships; cities of Grasston, Mora)

Tell us about yourself, your background and qualiﬁcations: I worked for over 18 years as the executive director of the 7 County Senior Federation. Elected /re-elected to three terms as a Hinckley Tim Burkhardt City Council memDemocrat ber. Currently I’m vice-president and board member (nine yrs) for the MN Association of Small Cities representing the interests of nearly 300 member cities state wide. Served for six years as a Hinckley Planning Commission member, nine years on the Park Board, creator of Sweet Summer Sounds (2015). Should a fee be assessed against pharmaceutical companies to help combat the opioid epidemic?:Yes. It was surprising to many that the bipartisan “penny-a-pill” proposal in the 2018 session was never passed. With the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs and the closely related opioid epidemic, this common sense approach would have helped fund the programs needed to help combat this problem. The defeat of this bill demonstrates the enormous power of the prescription drug and insurance industry lobby. The bill, or something closely related, should be put forward again and I would gladly co-sponsor or author this legislation. What is your preference for raising additional money for roads and bridges, or is current funding sufficient?: Revenues from gas taxes are in slight decline and have trended downward over the past few years. This is attributable to more fuel efficient vehicles on the road requiring less gas, therefore less revenue. A combination of some type of wheelage tax needs to also be reconsidered alongside a small gas tax in order to stabilize that revenue stream.

Some local government bodies continue to push for eliminating public notices from newspapers and moving them to government websites. What’s your view on permitting public notices to be disseminated only by local government bodies by means of their own websites?: I believe that in order to enhance public engagement, as many forms of notice need to be made available to the public as possible including, most importantly, local newspapers. Transparency is the watchword. If government bodies want to be accountable to the communities they serve, they must make maximum efforts to get the message out to the public. A single government website doesn’t improve messaging. Messages/notices need to be communicated broadly. School shootings have increased concerns about student safety. What do you feel should be done to protect students?: I’ve spoken with dozens of teachers, administrators, and support staff in the region and around the state. There are two consensus items: 1.) Student safety and school safety are critical to them. 2.) 98 percent do not think that arming teachers is a good idea…they think it’s a terrible idea. There is broad agreement that increasing security on site is important by limiting school entrance/exits to fewer locations, and having law enforcement officers either on-site, or within a few minutes arrival. As schools come in all shapes and sizes there are solutions that likely will be unique to each one. I feel the state should collaborate with each district to determine those needs and then share in the solutions and funding. Are there other issues you want to address?: Healthcare costs, as well as prescription drug costs, are mentioned by nearly everyone I’ve talked with as they affect everyone. My top priority for the 2019 Legislature is to make significant progress towards reducing and stabilizing healthcare costs, including the cost of prescription drugs. This issue affects everyone and causes people/families many hardships, both physically and personally. It’s time to move towards a system that is affordable, and accessible to all.

Winter isn’t an easy companion

hey could have just said, “Look out!” but the newspaper headlines blared that locals were bracing for another winter storm. Bracing meaning, I should have been preparing physically and/or mentally for something unpleasant. If I’m not ready by now, I’ll never be ready. There was more than enough snow to go around. Winter isn’t an easy companion. The citizens of the yard stay busy because they Al’s World need to eat. Goldfinches generally become Al Batt more common customers at the bird feeders during the second half of winter, as if inspired by a coach’s halftime talk. Juncos were trilling as if it were the next season. Horned larks, Lapland longspurs and snow buntings fed on roadsides. The darling of the yard and my minimum daily bird requirement, a chickadee, sang of spring.

I stumbled outside into a day that was exactly my size. Brandon Brackey of Albert Lea and I talked about the weather. It’s hard not talking about the weather. Brandon is an avid pheasant hunter and is concerned about the survival of the birds over our harshest season. The loss of food due to a persistent cover of snow and/or ice is a killer. Waste grain, an important food source, becomes unavailable under a deep accumulation of snow. I read once that 300 kernels of corn per day would maintain a pheasant’s weight. Captive pheasants have been able to survive several weeks without food, but they don’t expend energy avoiding predators and staying warm. A healthy wild pheasant could go at least three days without food. The annual survival rate of ring-necked pheasants is around 50 percent. Hens are more likely to succumb to starvation than are roosters as the females enter winter in poor condition due to the high energy demands of nesting and rearing chicks. Strong winds can

sometimes be beneficial to pheasants as they might free feeding areas of snow. Another problem for pheasants is the lack of suitable winter cover. Q-AND-A “Do robins eat sunflower seeds?” In the winter, some robins will eat sunflower hearts (hulled sunflower seeds) or chips (broken or semi-crushed seeds). “Where do birds go when there are strong winds?” Wherever the wind takes them. Different birds use differ-

ent methods to wait out a storm. They seek shelter. Birds that normally roost in cavities —such as chickadees, small owls and woodpeckers -- hide out in natural cavities or roost boxes. Many birds seek shelter on the lee sides of trees, along tree trunks or inside thick hedges or tangles. Some find their way into buildings. They hunker down. Birds are made to survive what nature throws at them. AL BATT is a syndicated columnist. For questions or comments about this article, contact Al at allenbatt@msn.com.
