Students feed students Mora school’s ‘Food For Friends’ helps elementary students avoid hunger BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora High School’s student-run food shelf, Food For Friends, is expanding to help elementary students as well. The Food For Friends Weekend Program provides a weekend supply of food every Friday for children when school lunch and breakfast are unavailable. Elementary school social worker, Sara Rossow, said 45 percent of Mora Elementary students qualify for free or reduced cost lunches and the need for this type of service is evident. “Providing a resource like this tells families that we truly care about their children holistically. Of course, we care about academics, but we care about them as humans and want their families to have the resources they need,” Rossow said. The foods in the bag are chosen to be easily consumed by small children, either they are easy to cook with minimal supervision or can be eaten without

Ogilvie Public School Superintendent Kathy Belsheim is back at work following the conclusion of a complaint investigation. The Ogilvie School Board placed Belsheim on paid administrative leave Monday, Sept. 10. According to the school’s attorney Ann Goering of Ratwik, Roszak and Maloney, a complaint against Belsheim was received and investigated by the law firm. Goering said the investigation was completed the week of Oct. 1-5. No disciplinary action was taken against Belsheim and she returned to work on Tuesday, Oct. 9. “The Ogilvie Public Schools reviews all complaints and concerns and takes appropriate action to investigate,” wrote Goering.

Meatsmith teaching traditional pork butchery, cooking BY ANDRE LASALLE ALASALLE@MILLELACSMESSENGER.COM

On Friday, Oct. 19, Farmstead Meatsmith, an internationally known butchery service based out of Puget Sound, Washington, will host a culinary harvest class in Mora focusing on traditional pork butchery and cooking methods. Brandon Sheard, who along with his wife Lauren started Farmstead Meatsmith in 2010, said the class will include zero-waste carcass disassembly and many cooking techniques, including the process of making bacon using what he called peasant methods. “There are traditional ways to harvest a pig that make it

‘The home kitchen is where the potential for the best food is.’ Brandon Sheard Butcher more useful, where you get to use the whole animal,” Sheard explained. “The only limit is the physiology of the animal. The class will demonstrate traditional butchery, cooking and curing.” Sheard, who has no formal training in the field of butchering or cooking, said his techniques have grown out of his extensive research into historical harvest methods and meat curing practices. At the onset,

Sheard said he was surprised at the quality of results he was achieving by implementing these ancient practices, and his passion for the art of butchery blossomed from there. Farmstead Meatsmith has proven unique in the field of butchery primarily because of their philosophical approach to animal harvest and cooking methods, something Sheard said he stumbled into primarily because of his desire to “eat good food.” In 2012 his methods gained broad attention through a series of short videos which highlighted his artful methods of slaughter, butchering and cookery.

Left or right side approach is trooper’s choice

Question: When Troopers pull over a vehicle, why do they approach it on the traffic side rather than the passenger window? I have observed some other law enforcement agencies approach from the passenger side and thought it made sense from a safety perspective. Ask A Answer: Trooper Which side the officer approaches Neil Dickenson during a traffic stop comes down t personall preference. f to Officers are trained in both approaches, and they both have their advantages and disadvantages. From all of my training and experience in traffic stops, it comes down to one important element — personal safety and approaching vehicles. As a Minnesota State Trooper,

most of my traffic stops occur on the freeway or on state highways, where higher speeds from passing vehicles are a real safety concern. Passenger-side approaches have proven safer for the officer if the vehicle stopped is ever struck by a passing vehicle. Other benefits I’ve noticed are a greater view of the vehicle’s interior and the driver’s area of reach as most people are right handed. It also gives the officer an increased safety area of escape if the officer needs to retreat in an emergency. The advantages an officer has from a driver-side approach include the ability to detect/smell if the driver is under the influence of alcohol and it is also easier to hear and speak to the driver. On most of my traffic stops, I approach on the passenger side because I feel safer from traffic. A few years ago on a traffic stop, an approaching vehicle’s passenger-side mirror grazed me while I was on the driver’s side on I-35. This was a great reminder for

KANABEC COUNTY COURT REPORT

me on how dangerous a routine traffic stop can be. In recent years, annually the Minnesota State Patrol averages over 20 patrol vehicles that are struck by drivers who are distracted, fatigued, impaired, or who lose control on slippery roads by travelling too fast for road conditions. Please slow down and move over for all emergency vehicles and vehicles with flashing lights. Not only is this a safety issue, it is the law in Minnesota. To keep everyone safe, always wear your seatbelt, drive distraction free, drive the speed limit and always line up a sober ride. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, email me your questions at neil.dickenson@ state.mn.us (You can follow me on Twitter @MSPPIO_NE). SERGEANT NEIL DICKENSON is Minnesota State Patrol public information officer for the state’s northeast region.

Just a few of the many things I stand for:

th Student and staff security should be top priority. Obvious changes should be made now. We can send our military to go and protect students in a foreign country, but we seem to forget our own student and staff safety in this country. I have seen cost effective changes made at other schools I have worked on, making them happen at Mora Schools should be no different.

Teachers should take back their classrooms. Teachers need to be allowed to teach and be in full control of their classrooms. They should not be afraid of being sued, reprimanded or being put on report for doing their job. A comprehensive high school repair and maintenance plan should be implemented. The people have voted many times against a new high school. Now we need to spend money to make professional repairs to the existing high school. My years of experience in building and remodeling schools will help get the needed cost-eﬀective repairs done in a timely fashion. The school has millions of dollars on-hand in the construction and maintenance budgets. It’s time to use that money before we ask the tax payers for more. Shop classes should be expanded – not shut down. It’s great that many Mora students go oﬀ to college every year to pursue their dream job. But I want to expand our thinking of getting every student career-ready for those that are not college bound. Let’s face it, not every student is going to college or wants to take part in the 1.4 trillion dollars we currently have in student loan debt in this country. For years we have had industry screaming for labor, both men and women. So let’s give our students a taste of what else is out there that they can make a good living at: jobs that just require a diploma, on-the-job training and a good work ethic. Jobs like carpentry, laborers, concrete, plumbing, heating, electrical, machinists, auto techs, heavy equipment operators, truck drivers and many other professions that pay extremely well with low or no expenses for training. I would love to take groups of students down to the carpenter union’s training facility that I went to, or any other trades facility to show them what is out there.

LETTER GUIDELINES

The Kanabec County Times encourages readers to share their viewpoints of community issues by writing Letters to the Editor. Publishing decisions are made on questions of free speech, good taste, public interest and public sensitivity. The Times reserves the right to edit for accuracy, clarity, libel, and civility and reserves the right not to publish a letter. Personal complaints or attacks, plagiarized material, religious treatises or submissions from organized letter-writing campaigns will not be published.

“

Everything in this newspaper is important to someone.” It’s become something of a mantra for me, in recent years. Weekly community newspapers are eclectic, to say the least. We publish photos of ribbons being cut at bakeries, and donations being dropped off at local food pantries. We print the school honor roll, the court report, and in-depth stories on decisions made by planning commissions and town boards. Sometimes we cover murders, abuse and horrific car crashes, and when we do our community journalists often experience National these tragedies as both reporters and neighbors — as both professionals and human Newspaper beings. We cover the referendum that will determine whether a new school is built Week and our readers’ taxes will rise. We publish birth announcements, obituaries and the Matt Geiger various things that, when wedged between those two book ends, make up the lives that make up our communities. I’ve learned more than I ever wanted to know about sewage, in order to cover the approval and construction of a new treatment plant. I interviewed a survivor of the Iran hostage crisis about what it’s like to be held prisoner in a foreign land while the world looks on. I’ve interviewed grandmothers about their favorite holiday recipes. Perhaps most importantly, I’ve interviewed little kids about what they want to be when they grow up, and what type of world they hope to inhabit. I’ve even eaten lutefisk — a type of gelatinous Scandinavian fish that is usually only consumed as part of a dare — in the warm hum of a local church’s kitchen. (I even liked it, which I think qualifies as a kind of small-town gonzo journalism.) People sometimes ask me why community newspapers are important. My reply is always the same. It’s because everything in those pages is important to someone. Maybe the ribbon cutting isn’t flashy enough to go viral, and the Thanksgiving turkey recipe is not going to change culinary trends across the nation. But these things, these small things in communities across the country and across the world, are what give meaning and purpose to all of our lives. The ribbon cutting is the culmination of a childhood dream. The donations at the food pantry will allow a family to gather around their table without worrying if there is enough to fill each plate. The honor roll goes on the fridge, of course, because it’s a reminder to a young student that she can flourish when she applies herself. The birth announcement marks the proudest, greatest moment of a mother and father’s life together. The face looking out from the obituary is one that a wife, and children, and grandchildren, will never kiss again. The new school being paid for with the referendum is where a young student might develop an interest in science, growing up and developing a treatment for cancer or Alzheimer’s, allowing millions of people to live a little longer, and have their faces kissed by those who love them a few more times. Journalism matters, now more than ever, because people matter. Community journalism matters, now more than ever, because roughly half the world’s population lives in small communities, and in the pages of their newspapers, they see themselves and the ones they love.

This supreme court confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh is truly a victory for God, for America and for the constitutional rights of all America’s citizens, born and unborn. The Kavanaugh confirmation is, in my opinion, the good Lord’s answer to America’s pact with the devil, that wrongful legislation we refer to as Roe vs. Wade. This time, victory belongs to the Lord.

Sondra Erickson’s voting record speaks clearly To the editor, Sondra Erickson’s voting record is a demonstration of her propensity for voting against her constituent’s best interest. In the 20 years she has represented district 15A, the poverty rating in Kanabec County has gotten worse, not better. She has voted against increasing minimum wage even though a large portion of those in her district works for that paltry wage. She is against Medicaid expansion even though it would benefit those in our county. She consistently votes against adequately funding education, even though she is on the Education committee. This means poorer districts like Kanabec are scrambling to meet the needs of our kids. She is always sure to vote loudly

Make healthy font choices; Fight Comic Sans addiction

might need a ladder for this high horse I am about to mount as I tell all y’all to quit using the “Comic Sans” typeface/font. (Just a quick note, when most of us use the word “font” what we really mean is “typeface.” They are different, but the difference between the two is something only typographers really care about and for the purposes of this article are not worth explaining. I will be using the words interchangeably.) It might sound like I am being a design snob, but it is importEditor ant to understand that when you Kirsten Faurie type something, you are communicating — and so is your font choice. By changing the font, we can change the message. Observe:

You will always be mine! By changing the font, we can quickly change the meaning from a love message to a threat:

You will always be mine! Yikes. (Yes, for those who are web lurkers, I did find that example on the internet.) Fonts are designed for different purposes. The Comic Sans font was designed for exactly what its name implies: Comic books. It became popular in other uses because it seems quirky, fun and comes with most word processing programs like Microsoft Word and Google Drive. While it may be appropriate for a child’s birthday invitation: Come to Peter‛s party at 5 p.m. Saturday! It is not appropriate type for professional letters, a restaurant logo, church bulletins or important messages like: Your test results show the cancer is no longer responding to treatment. A comic-style font is not what that message needs. So why is Comic Sans so darn popular? Well, teachers like it a lot because of the way the small “a” is formed. Most computer typefaces use what is called a “double-story” letter “a.” When children are learning handwriting, they are taught to form a simpler, “single-story” letter “a.” It is simple to learn and faster to write. Comic Sans uses the single-story style.

a a

double-story

single-story

I believe another part of the reason is it just looks different than everything else. So, when putting together an office flier or trying to stylize an email signature, I believe people are simply going for a unique look. My point today is that there are other, better options. For elementary teachers instructing students how to form letters and read, try:

Futura, Poppins or Questrial All three of these are available fonts in Google Drive (some under “more fonts”). For other uses, let’s use an email signature as an example, remember the purpose is to let people know your name and contact information, not to add flair. Embelishments like colors and fancy fonts tend to distract rather than impress. Just stick to Times New Roman, Helvetica or even Arial. Some type snobs may disagree, but even they would agree those fonts are all better than Comic Sans. With that said, I’ll get down off this horse.

Tina Smith proud of her abortion industry ties To the editor, Politicians, like most of us, have strong opinions when it comes to abortion. Elected office holders may believe in the sanctity of life, or they may believe that a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy. Some may try to speak in vague

terms in an attempt to stake out a middle ground. Until Governor Dayton appointed his political friend, Tina Smith, to finish the remainder of Al Franken’s term, there has never been a Senator who has worked directly for the abortion industry. Tina Smith has held an executive position for Planned Parenthood, and she isn’t hiding it. See the Minnesota Public Radio news article from Sept. 10, 2018, “Smith Aims to Use Planned Parenthood Background to Her Advantage.” Because of her ties to the abortion industry, she and her supporters somehow make her out to be a champion for women’s rights. On the very day President Trump nominated Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Tina Smith had already determined that she

was going to vote no, even though it would have been impossible for her to review the 300-plus opinions that he has written that quickly. Yet when it comes to Keith Ellison, the so-called champion for women Tina Smith, has no time for his accuser. As recently as the State Fair, she told WCCO’s Esme Murphy that she supports Ellison’s candidacy. Fortunately, there is a better alternative. Karin Housley has stated that all accusers and the accused deserve to be heard. She will not make rash decisions without weighing all the facts. Karin Housley will also stand up for the rights of the unborn. Please join me in supporting Karin Housley for U.S. Senate. Doris Mork Brook Park

Faulty tech leads to unexpected police call

he night was like any other night, or so I thought. The squad radio was quiet and we were not having to respond to many calls, until my partner got a call for a 911 hang-up. Deputies respond to 911 hang-ups on a routine basis, and this one did not strike us as out of the ordinary. Dispatch Cop-Ed told us they didn’t Chisago County hear screaming or sounds of a Sheriff’s Office struggle in the background. It was quiet. When dispatch attempted a callback, they received a busy signal. Often times these calls turn out to be a pocket dial or a child playing with the phone. Sometimes, with the “enhancement” of technology, the internet modem decides to dial 911. Tonight it would turn out to be simply that. A faulty modem. Yet, thank God for that modem. By the end of that night, we had no idea how grateful we would be for that faulty modem. We made it to the house and knocked on the front door. My partner looked through a window and told me he could see a male who appeared to be passed out on the couch. He wasn’t responding to any of the knocking. We could also see and hear young kids inside. The questions started to percolate. Was the male drunk? Was he having a medical emergency? Was he just sleeping? We did not know. We were about to force entry into the home to check on the male and the children when a vehicle pulled into the driveway. It was a female who told us that her husband was inside with the kids. We responded by saying we had received a 911 hang-up call and no one was answering the door for us. She grabbed her keys and opened the door to the home and allowed us to come inside to check on the welfare of her husband and children. As the door swung open, the male woke up and told us everything was OK. We attempted to walk into the entryway of the home, and quickly realized what we were stumbling upon. Inside the home we found

several young children in the house running around with little to no clothes on. It was late at night and it seemed like the children should have been in bed. Some of the kids had sagging diapers that clearly had not been changed for a long time. Trash and clothes were all over the floor, and in some places clothes and garbage were nearly touching the ceiling. It was so pervasive that we couldn’t take a single step without stepping on one or the other. My partner and I both looked at each other, and without saying a word simultaneously realized we would not clear this call quickly. As I made my way to the back of the house to check the rest of its condition, my partner spoke with the male and female to gather their information. The only bathroom in

Often cops get called the heroes in situations, but in this situation the heroes in my book were the families that opened their doors the house did not have a working shower. The sink in the kitchen seemed to disappear under the mountain of dirty dishes and rotten food. I told my partner about my observations and he went outside to begin making phone calls to Child Protective Services. We both knew we were not leaving that house without those kids. It was determined the children would be removed from the home and placed in a much cleaner and safer environment. A job of a cop demands wearing many different hats. At 26 years old, the youngest of three, with no kids of my own, I had to care for these kids in a parental type of way. During the next hour, my partners and I helped them get clothes on and pack clothes to leave. We helped entertain the kids to help keep the situation calm. We held babies and rocked them to keep them from crying. We let the older ones play with our flashlights to keep them busy and their minds off what was

happening. One of the hardest parts of the night was having to explain to the oldest child that no matter how much she offered to help clean the place up, she could not stay there that night. Child Protective Services arrived. My partner and I assisted in getting the children into squad cars and vehicles to drive them to where they would be staying for the night. Unfortunately, the kids could not all be brought to the same home. I drove one of the kids to a temporary foster home and was met by an extremely nice couple who, at two in the morning, received a call from Child Protective Services asking if they would be willing to take a child. They said yes. Often cops get called the heroes in situations, but in this situation the heroes in my book were the families that opened their doors when the phone rang in the early morning hours. These foster parents were willing to take care of children they did not know because they were in circumstances that were unsafe or dangerous. After all of the children were in safe homes for the evening I thought back at how tragic it was for these kids to have to be removed from their home. Yet, I was able to find comfort in knowing these kids were now in a much safer environment. As I stated earlier, thank God for that modem. It turns out that no one had dialed 911 that night. The home had a faulty modem that accidentally (or in this case thankfully) dialed 911. Deputies were able to come to the home and provide help to these kids that could not help themselves. The profession of law enforcement provides for us a window into seeing the good and the bad in humanity. Some of the most difficult calls we get involve children or people who cannot help themselves. My partner and I were glad we got the call that night. We were able to respond and provide them the help they so desperately needed. COP-ED IS created by the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office to share opinions on current issues facing law enforcement and create better connections between the sheriff’s office and the communities they serve.

CURED: Butcher empowers others to prepare their own meat FROM PAGE 1

titled “On The Anatomy of Thrift,” has yielded over 350,000 views and spurred large national and international interest due to the artistic nature in which the slaughter, butchering and cooking methods are presented. Produced in conjunction with Farm Run, an agriculturally-geared video production service, the videos illustrate the history of pork in the diets of early Americans, preservation and cooking methods – including the process of making blood sausage and liver paté – and emphasizes the importance of the relationship of salt and pork fat, a marriage born out of the need to prevent spoilage. Building off of the interest garnered from the video series, Farmstead Meatsmith has grown their business – which is a combination of both actual on-site slaughter, butchering and curing, and educational services – to include an online community and membership program that the Sheards operate with the goal of educating individuals on animal harvest techniques and bringing the art of cooking back into home kitchens. In Sheard’s view, empowering people with the skills to prepare their own food – specifically meat – will connect them with the best eating available. “The home kitchen is where the potential for the best food is,” Sheard said. “All meat cooking can be distilled down to three techniques: braising, pan-frying and roasting. If you can learn how to do those three things, you’ll never have to follow a recipe again. Everything you cook will be delicious.” These three methods will be discussed and implemented in the upcoming class. But perhaps the most elusive skill Sheard will teach in the class is the art of traditionally-curing bacon, something that up until the advent of refrigeration, Sheard said, was commonly done with the entire pig carcass, not just the belly. “Until the 20th century, bacon was literally winter survival,” Sheard said, noting that the practice of curing pork was born from the need to prevent spoilage after slaughter. “But more than preservation, bacon is delicious and extravagant.” Sheard said that his traditional curing techniques allow his bacon to be stored without refrigeration, and rather than it going bad with time, it will literally “go good,” increasing in flavor the longer it ages. The scope of the class will begin post-slaughter. The animal will have already been eviscerated, scalded, scraped and cooled, ready for butchering. Discussion beyond butchering will include topics related to animal husbandry, livestock diet and genetics and methods of cooking that range from whole-muscle curing to sausage-making. The class will culminate with an endof-day meal centered around a freshly roasted pig head. More information on the class, links to the On The Anatomy of Thrift video series and educational materials can be found at www.farmsteadmeatsmith.com. The class will run 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19 and will be held on a farm located one mile west of Mora. Participants must sign-up ahead of time, which can be done on the website.

cooking. The bags are packed to be light and easily carried by small bodies. The draw-string bags contains two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks, one can of vegetables and one can of fruit. The bags are discretely put into each participating student’s locker on Fridays. While the program is intended to help children whose families find it difficult to have enough food for the entire month, all children are eligible for the program. The program’s first distribution was on Friday, Oct. 5; 45 bags were distributed. The Food For Friends program is run by students and has an open door policy. No requirements, no questions asked. Last week the shopping and packing of bags happened with the help of Food for Friends and Mora Alternative Learning Center volunteers, with student Morgan Sanders leading the charge. Karen Felger of the Mora Alternative Learning Center said “Everyone is welcome without judgment or meeting specific criteria ... Students use FFF for a variety of reasons; sometimes short term and other times for a longer period.” Rossow said this type of weekend program for younger students is a goal realized. “It has been my dream to provide this resource to students in our school ever since hearing about similar programs being offered in other communities. We will need support from our community to make it sustainable,” she said.

KIRSTEN FAURIE | TIMES

Students and staff volunteered to pack bags for the Food For Friends Weekend Program (l-r) Sarah Golly, Morgan Sanders, Daniel Strunge, Abby Pendzimas, Lucas Hendershot, Amber Reinsch, Karen Felger and Dustin Altman.

How this program will be able to last into the future is on the minds of organizers. This week, each bag cost roughly $11 with a total of $522 spent to provide food to 45 students. “We have thought about sustainability and we feel that right now, we can meet these needs given our current resources. However, if this grows a lot, we will need to be more strategic in our planning. Right now, I think we are taking a leap of faith knowing that we may need to restructure and look into other practices to make the programs sustainable. What I

do know is that Mora answers these calls. I have never been disappointed when appealing to my local friends to step up for my students,” Rossow said. Of most need are drawstring backpacks to pack to food in. The program also needs monetary or food donations. The most needed types of food items include instant oatmeal, Easy Mac, tuna fish, Spaghettios, cans of soup, cereal, granola bars, individual snack items (Goldfish crackers, etc.).

Fall & Winter How to recognize potential CERTIFIED SERVICE brake problems Oil Change $3995* Coolant Flush COUPON

Maintaining a vehicle is more than just a way to protect one’s financial investment. Vehicle maintenence can protect against accidents and make the road safer for drivers and their passengers as well as their fellow motorists.

• Unusual noises: Screeching, grinding, rubbing and high-pitched sounds are common indicators that brake pads, rotors and other parts of the braking system need attention. Worn pads can cause damage to other vehicle parts, resulting in more expensive repairs if they’re not addressed promptly. • Pulling: If the car pulls to one side when applying the brakes, this may indicate brake pad linings are wearing down unevenly. A brake adjustment may be necessary. Pulling also may be indicative of an object or debris caught in the brake assembly. • Less responsive: If when pressing on the brake pedal the brakes just do not seem to be as effective as they once were, or it is necessary to press the pedal harder for the brakes to engage, there may be a brake fluid leak or an air leak. Check under the vehicle to see if any fluids are pooling. • Pungent odors: A burning smell may be indicative of worn out brake pads and friction on the tires. Each of these issues require immediate attention.

Do not let potential brake problems go unchecked. Keeping brakes in good working order helps drivers stop more readily and avoid collisions.

• 4-Tire Rotation • 27 pt. Vehicle Inspection • Up to 5 Quarts

school boys played the High school basket ball team and defeated them 22 to 21. The game was faster than was expected and the crowd was treated to several thrillers. The High School boys got the lead early in the game and were ahead at the end of the first half and third quarter. In the last quarter the old boys made five goals and finished ahead by the narrow margin of one point. Handschu proved to be a very satisfactory referee. “Spanish Influenza Claims Many Victims; Three Residents of Kanabec County Succumb to Disease the Past Week:” The sad news reached this village last week that Ernest Leopold Matthews, one of the Kanabec county soldier boys, had passed away, the direct cause of death being pneumonia following an attack of Spanish Influenza. “Mora To Have Lecture Course; Cost of Talent Alone $500.00 Ten Numbers and All Good Ones:” Mora and vicinity will have the biggest Lecture Course this year it has ever had and one that will be duplicated in but few towns of the state. We have been enabled to do this by reason of the University Extension Department furnishing us the talent without commissions to anyone; by the adequate auditorium provided for us in the new school building, and by the enthusiastic support received last year for the course, by the people of our community. 75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Firemen Respond To Two Calls:” The Mora Fire Department was called to Warman last Thursday when a bad brush fire threatened the school and other nearby buildings. The fire had been spreading for about three days, but Ernest Linder and his bulldozing equipment, and volunteer fire fighters, succeeded in keeping it under control. That evening the firemen were called to the Clifford Cole home, where a mattress had caught fire. The children were at home alone, but had succeeded in getting the mattress outdoors before the firemen arrived. “Warman Store Sold:” Fred Boman of Warman recently sold his stock of merchandise and leased his store building to Herbert D. Crenshaw of Minneapolis. The new proprietor took possession of the business on October 8, and his family will soon join him there. Mr. Boman has operated the store since Glen Humphrey’s lease expired last November. He and Mrs. Boman will continue to reside at Warman. “Forest Fire Near Warman:” Forest fires have been raging in the timber in the vicinity of Warman the past week. A large crew fought it for days to keep it from spreading. It finally was gotten under control without any property damage, except to standing timber. The continued dry weather had created a fire hazard which has been removed, temporarily at least, by Tuesday night’s drenching rain. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “Village Holds Tax Line; No Increase In Past Four Years:” As costs of operating both local and national units of government continue to rise, Mora citizens can proudly point to the fact that the village of Mora has held the line. The budget for 1969 was approved at the council meeting last Tuesday night and the general property tax levy in the village will remain the same as it has been for the past four years. The tax line has been held due to the fact that the village received a $40,000 transfer from the Public Utilities and $40,000 transfer from the Mora Municipal Liquor store. “Mora Loses Homecoming Game to Elk River 18-6:” Mora lost to Elk River last Friday by a score of 18 to 6.

Mora was ahead at halftime when a 54-yard pass, thrown by Gary Pierson, was completed to Phillip Hallstrom and on the next play Steve Hallstrom scored on a three-yard run. The conversion attempt failed. Early in the third quarter, Elk River capitalized on two blocked punts downing the fall on Mora’s seven-yard line both times. Emery LaPointe carried the ball into the end zone twice bringing Elk River to a 12 to 6 lead over Mora. The extra points failed on both attempts. In the last minutes, LaPointe again scored by intercepting a pass on Mora’s 37-yard line and running all the way for a touchdown. The extra point attempt failed again and the game ended 18 to 6. “LSD Is No Magic Problem Solver:” Nearly everyone brought into the hospital of the small French village during the early fall of 1951 was screaming and shooting, writhing and twisting. The tidal wave of macabre monsters and happenings in the minds of the villagers was due to ergotism, a disease caused by a wheat fungus. The base of ergot is lysergic acid,one of the most powerful concentrated poisons, from which LSD was synthesized in 1938 in Switzerland. Today, says the Minnesota State Medical Association, LSD has become one of the most abused drugs. LSD affects the abuser like ergotism, often to that degree. Anxiety, depression, confusion and hallucinations often develop into panic and sometimes into extended periods of psychosis. Increasing numbers of LSD users are being forced to seek psychiatric aid. The reasons for LSD abuse are varied--to increase sensory awareness because of so-called “conscious-expansion,” to escape from day-to-day stress, to provide a “magic problem cure.” But, the magic problem solver, in actuality, becomes the instrument for new, more dangerous problems says the Minnesota State Medical Association. 25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Purchase of vacant ice cream plant in Mora is ‘just pure speculation’:” The Land O’ Lakes ice cream plant in Mora has been vacant for several years now. The situation may change in the not-too-distant future. “I thought if the building was locally owned, something might start to happen,” says Jim Klapmeier of Mora, who recently purchased the property from Land O’ Lakes. “It’s a good building and a good location,” Klapmeier says, “and although I have no immediate plans in mind, I’m hoping some industry will find it desirable.” “Lions defeat Bombers, reclaim first-place standing:” At the Great River Conference showdown last Friday evening in Ogilvie, fourth-and-short was “Lion time” --- not “Bomber time.” Propelled by an offense that converted three consecutive fourth-and-short situations en route to its first points and a defense that notched a fourth-and-short stop to stymie Braham’s only scoring opportunity of the first half, Ogilvie celebrated Homecoming by rambling past the previously unbeaten Bombers, 21-6, and regaining its familiar perch all alone atop the Great River football standings. With a victory over visiting Rush City this week, the Lions can capture their program’s seventh outright league title in as many years.

Local ﬁlmmakers Conﬂict of interest concerns divide council wanted for Highway 61 Film Festival BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

CONTRIBUTED HIGHWAY 61 FILM FESTIVAL

Pine City’s Highway 61 Film Festival is eagerly awaiting submissions from regional filmmakers now through Jan. 15, 2019. As the festival heads into its ninth year, organizers are excited to see what amazing films will come from the imaginations of local, state, national and international filmmakers. Submissions may include short (less than 40 minutes) and feature films. Regular categories include: Drama, Comedy, Action/Horror, Documentary and Animation. Special categories include “Made in Minnesota,” for films actually shot, in whole or part, in this great state and Student Short films made by students age 18 or younger. Submission fees are just one buck for “Made in Minnesota” films, and are completely free for Student Short films. Submitted films are reviewed by judges, and cash prizes of either $50 or $100 are awarded to the top film in each category. Early submission runs through Dec. 15, though late submissions will be accepted through Jan. 15. Last year hundreds of films were submitted to the Highway 61 Film Festival through FilmFreeway. com (an online independent film festival submission service), and the very best were featured in Pine City screenings. The ninth annual Highway 61 Film Festival will be held April 5-7 in Pine City, with screenings planned for Pine Technical & Community College, Pine City’s Pizza Pub and Pine Center for the Arts. Films can be submitted at filmfreeway.com/festival/Highway61FilmFestival. For more information, visit highway61filmfestival.org, the Highway 61 Film Festival page on Facebook, or follow on Twitter.

The Mora City Council was divided as it took on the task of assigning a city insurance agent. At issue: whether the City of Mora’s current agency would create a conflict of interest if the owner also serves on a city commission. Proposals were received from seven insurance companies to serve as the city’s Insurance Agent of Record: the current agent Heggernes Agency, as well as American Family Insurance, Associated, Bearence Management Group, Gallagher, Mahowald and Town and Country Agency. On Tuesday, Sept. 18 City Administrator Lindy Crawford recommended an agency who works with local government entities, will provide outside knowledge of the industry, offers solutions in addition to

insurance and does not create a conflict of interest. She raised concerns about a possible conflict, as owner Joe Heggernes serves on the Public Utilities Commission. Crawford recommended that the Council accept Bearence Management Group’s proposal. Council members Al Skramstad and Bob Bollenbeck requested that the agent of record be a local company since local tax dollars pay for the services. Council member Jody Anderson replied that the public may also view this as a conflict of interest. Skramstad answered that the League of Minnesota Cities said there would be no conflict of interest as long as the Council makes all insurance decisions, but Crawford explained the PUC makes purchases that do not fall under Council approval, such as equipment. Bollenbeck moved

to retain Heggernes Agency as the Insurance Agent of Record, seconded by Skramstad, but the motion was opposed by Anderson, Sara Treiber and Mayor Jack L’Heureux. With the first motion failed, Skramstad then moved to approve Heggernes Agency for one year only, and to require completion of a thorough risk analysis. Bollenbeck, Treiber and L’Heureux voted yes, while Anderson voted opposed. IN OTHER CITY ACTIVITY: Crawford presented a revision of the 2019 preliminary budget, based on the Council’s discussion at the Sept. 4 meeting. The proposed preliminary levy is $808,585.00, a $44,796.00 (5.865%) increase over 2018. Bollenbeck stated he doesn’t want both an increase to the levy and an increase in sewer and utility rates, preferring to transfer money out of

reserves; Crawford replied that funds cannot be transferred at this time. Skramstad moved and Treiber seconded approval of the budget; Anderson and L’Heureux voted yea, and Bollenbeck voted nay. Crawford recommended and the Council approved the promotion of City Planner Beth Thorp to planning and community development director. The Council approved a site plan for Coborn’s Inc. to acquire and redevelop the former BP gas station at 630 Highway 65. The Council unanimously accepted a feasibility study of the Mora Aquatic Center by USAquatics, and approved forwarding recommended safety regulations to the city attorney. The next Mora City Council meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 16 at Mora City Hall.

We are called to be servants of God

e all like to be winners. No one wants to lose. We want to be “on top” of the world and others. We enjoy feeling important, respected, and righteous. Scripture gives us a very different perspective, a call Focus on from God to be servants to Faith one another. In 53: 2-3 Rita Clasemann Isaiah and 10-11, the servant is not described as one who is handsome or beautiful, popular or

holding an important position. Rather the servant puts others before self. That lesson is reinforced by our Lord in Mark 10: 35-46. Two of the Apostles, brothers James and John, approach Jesus and state, “Master, we want you to do us a favor.” Not “please,” just “we want.” Rather bold, isn’t it? And what is it they want? To be at the Lord’s right and left hand in the new kingdom. They want the best, most important spots in a royal house- a position of grandeur. They have missed what Jesus has been teaching in word and example. Our Lord responds, “You do not know what you are

asking.” To follow him, they must choose a different path. They cannot rule over others or choose worldly greatness. No, “whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant.” Think about the truly great people you know who greatly impact your life. What is it that makes them great? Their patience, understanding, generosity of time, support, compassion, service to others or willingness to sacrifice personal gain? They are servants of God. Again and again in Scripture we hear that very important call to service. How do we respond?

We give thanks for the folks in our communities who serve at our food shelves, work at thrift stores, support pregnant teens and women, assist our elders at assisted living and nursing care facilities, prepare meals at Soup for the Soul and A Place for You. But let us not forget the quiet and gentle ones who are willing to sit and listen to someone struggling in life, the ones who smile at children and say an encouraging word to the parents, or hold a door or sending caring supportive notes. Our behind-the-scene servants of God. The Peer Ministry program sponsored by the Kanabec

County Ministerial Association is preparing young people to be servants to one another, to have the eyes and ears of Christ, to be the helping hand others need. Encourage the teens who are participating. Thank them for opting to do this training and for their service to fellow students. You and I are given 86,400 seconds each and every day! Surely we can all find time to serve one another humbly and with generous love. The reward, as they say, is “out of this world.” RITA CLASEMANN is the parish life coordinator at St. Mary’s Parish in Mora.

Classic Living Seniors and exercise: Tips to avoid injuries, get healthy Exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Daily exercise can improve mood, promote an active lifestyle and reduce a person’s risk for a host of ailments, including diabetes and heart disease. Despite the importance of exercise, many people live sedentary lifestyles into their golden years. Seniors who want to embrace a healthier way of life and get more physically active should first consult with their physicians before beginning an exercise regimen. Certain medications may limit just how far seniors can push themselves, while preexisting conditions may make specific types of exercise off limits. After discussing limitations with physicians and developing a safe exercise routine, seniors can heed the following tips to avoid injury but still get healthy. • Pick a partner. Whether it’s a spouse or a friend, try exercising with a

partner, at least initially. Doing so can provide the motivation you need and partners can serve as safety nets should you need assistance completing an exercise or suffer an injury and require medical attention. Personal trainers can serve as your partner, and many gyms offer discounts to seniors on personal training services. • Start slowly. Seniors who have not been physically active for some time should take a gradual approach to exercise. Instead of heading right for the treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical machine, start walking every day. When it rains, is too hot outside or during winter find a an indoor walking track you can walk on. Seniors should begin by determining how many steps they can take in a day and then gradually working toward 10,000 to 15,000 steps per day. Apply the same slow approach to strength training exercises, lifting only very light weights at first

Call 320-679-6205 for details www.moraschools.org/wellnesscenter

before gradually increasing weight as your body acclimates to the exercises. • Stretch. Bodies that have been inactive for lengthy periods of time are inflexible, and lack of flexibility increases your risk for injury. Seniors should warm up their bodies before stretching with five to 10 minutes of low-intensity activity such as walking. Then stretch gently, remembering to relax and breathe during each stretch. • Switch things up. When strength training, do not work the same muscle group two days in a row. Muscles need time to recover. If you prefer circuit strength training where you exercise various muscle groups in one day, do not strength train on back-toback days, leaving at least one day in between strength training sessions so muscles have ample time to recover.

Smith reaches Mora touchdown record Mustangs celebrate 48-7 homecoming victory BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora football team put a punctuation mark on homecoming week at Mora High School. That punctuation mark was a 48-7 victory over Northeast Blue and section rival Pine City. The last time these two teams met was in the section finals last November at St. Cloud State University. On that snowy night Mora prevailed and advanced to the state tournament 14-0. The elements weren’t pretty Friday night either. It was a cold, damp evening at Bergloff-Deis Field. The Mustangs made sure the weather would not be a factor by dominating on both sides of the ball from the get go. The defense, which struggled at times against Moose Lake-Willow River the week before, set the tone with a three-and-out. This would be a theme as the first team defense forced five three-and-outs for the evening. Head coach Troy Erickson was pleased with his defense, “It was a job well done all night long by our defense. Our first team defense allowed only three first downs all night.” Coming into the game the Mustangs had only attempted 12 passes all season. The Dragons’ defense was well aware of this and sold out to stop the potent Mustang running game. Mora quarterback Brycen

Schritz proved that when called upon the offense can move the ball through the air. On the opening drive, faced with a third-and-15, Schritz hit Ben Nordenstrom for a 35-yard gain. Later in the drive, facing a second and long, Schritz hit Nordenstrom again for a

22-yard touchdown. Jonathan Smith ran in the two-point-conversion and it was 8-0 Mustangs. After another Dragons threeand-out, the Mustangs offense struck again through the air. Schritz hit a wide open Tysonn Peterson for a 56-yard touchdown

pass to make the score 14-0. “Our line did a tremendous job of giving Schritz time to throw the ball. Pine City was not playing a deep safety, so we were able to take advantage of that,” said Erickson. Pine City’s next possession ended with a bad snap on a punt setting up the Mustangs with great field position. Jonathan Smith scored from 14 yards out on the ground. Jaden Ponto ran in the two-point-conversion and all of a sudden the game was getting out of reach at 22-0. On their next possession Mora went back to the air. As Pine City continued to sell out to stop the run, Schritz hit a wide open Peterson for a 56-yard connection. That play set Mora up in great position to extend the lead. Schritz ended the drive scrambling for a fiveyard touchdown run to make it 28-0. Right before halftime Jonathan Smith got the ground game churning again. Smith scored from 25 yards out, his second of the game, and after the extra point the Mustangs took a 35-0 lead into the locker room. Mora received the second half kickoff and continued its dominance on offense. Smith scored his third touchdown of the game, this time from 40 yards out, and after the extra point the score was 42-0. With that touchdown Smith equaled the single season Mora record for touchdowns with 19. That total ties Tyler Tober’s record he set a few years ago. Mora’s final score of the night showed that their earlier success passing was no fluke. Schritz hooked up with Peterson again, this time for

a 58 yard touchdown. It was the third touchdown toss for Schritz to go along with his rushing touchdown. The victory improved the No. 5 state ranked Mustangs record to 6-0. The team is 3-0 in the Northeast Blue district. Mora can clinch at least a tie for the Northeast Blue championship with a win at Aitkin Friday night, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. Aitkin enters the game with an impressive 5-1 overall record and Coach Erickson knows it won’t be easy, “it’s a tough environment to play in, we’ll have to be ready.”

Ogilvie-Mora swim team dives into post-season success BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

DENISE KREBS | TIMES

Mora Public Schools

The Ogilvie-Mora Swim Team (OMST) continues to impress opponents with their experience and dedication. And with Section tournaments not far away, the team is eager to build on last season’s successes. “We lost only one swimmer to graduation last year. We have about 10 juniors right now. When I started out, they were all seventh graders and they were our varsity,” said head coach Sara Miller. “These girls started out as underdogs, but now they’re getting recognized in Section 5A.” “We have 42 swimmers this fall. This is probably the highest number of swimmers we’ve ever had. We took part in a couple of swimming camps, and Ogilvie Community Education hosted an aquatics program this spring and summer. This was a huge asset for recruiting new members.” After six events this fall OMST holds a 5-1 record, including winning their first invitational tournament at Duluth Denfeld on Sept. 22. The team ended 2017 with a 4-6 overall record, and Mora

junior Jenna Williams advanced to the Minnesota Class A tournament. She competed in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke events, placing 10th in the backstroke finals. “Last year we had 12 girls advance to Sections, and all 12 made it through to the second day,” Miller said. “The girls set their goals at the beginning of the season, both individually and as a team. After the Granite Ridge Conference finishes, a smaller number will advance to Sara Miller Sections due to the Head Coach faster qualifying times.” Senior Kallee Swenson and juniors Olivia Hudoba, Jenna Williams and Sage Wren make up OMST’s medley relay team. “They started this season with a time of 1:57, a big increase over

‘Swimming is just as hard a sport as any other, and these girls are dedicated and motivated to make a difference.’

last season’s 2:01. They missed qualifying for State by milliseconds,” said Miller. “That relay team has lost only one race this season.” Ogilvie fourth grade teacher Tim Zacharais joined this year as assistant coach, and Brooke Hastig as diving coach. “Our prediction is that everyone will make it to the second day of sections, and the medley team will be the first relay team from either school to advance to State,” Miller said. “In individual events Jenna will return to state, and Kallee, Olivia and Sage will also advance.” “It’s pretty ambitious. But if those four together can blow everyone else out of the water in the medley, each should be able to advance as individuals. Swimming is just as hard a sport as any other, and these girls are dedicated and motivated to make a difference. Not just in the pool, but outside as well.” OMST’s next meet is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 11 at St. Cloud Cathedral. The Section 5 A tournament begins on Thursday, Nov. 8, and the state tournament begins on Wednesday, Nov. 14.

hipmunks and/or voles had been taking bites out of my precious yellow pear tomatoes. The amount chewed from each tomato was small, as if they’d forgotten they didn’t like tomatoes until they’d taken a bite. I suspect this happens because the rodents had small stomachs that filled quickly. Do you say “aunt” or “ant”? I was listening to Diana Krall. She’s one of a good number of singers I believe inspires my thought process. There are times when I become discombobulated and feel as if I need a new brain. Listening helps. For some Al’s World reason, I thought about my aunts. I have no living aunts. I’m auntless. I Al Batt thought I had an ample supply of the good ladies. I even had three aunt Helens, but they’re all gone. Somebody’s aunt told me that she and her husband had been eating food each day for a combined 181 years. KEEPING AUSTIN WEIRD Work took me to Austin, Texas. ”Keep Austin Weird” is the slogan adopted by the Austin Independent Business Alliance to promote small businesses in Austin. You’d think being the state capital would cover that. Austin has nine months of summer and three months of fall. It’s advertised as The Live Music Capital of the World. It might be. All I know is that I heard a Jerry Jeff Walker tune playing everywhere. I went to the Salt Lick in Driftwood. It’s where they barbecue everything including the napkins and the menu. Good food was piled high. I wondered if I’d ever need to eat again. I visited the South Congress Bridge that crosses Lady Bird Lake. It’s quite a sight seeing the 1.5 million bats emerge from the narrow crevices in the underside of the bridge. They start to come forth about 20 minutes before sundown. Every insect I encountered was nervous. I liked Austin, Texas very much, but it’s no Austin, Minnesota. NATURE NOTES Birds usually face the same direction when sitting on utility wires for two reasons. When birds flock, they generally fly in the same direction. It makes sense that they face the same way before taking off. The other reason is that birds are built to face into the wind. Eagles have strong nest site fidelity, meaning they return to the same nest and territory each year, particularly if they successfully produce young. A pair might choose to build a new nest in a different area if their previous nest failed to fledge eaglets or proved otherwise unsuitable. Benjamin Franklin didn’t exactly advocate for the turkey as the national bird. According to The Franklin Institute, he was against the bald eagle becoming the national bird, stating in a letter to his daughter that it was a “bird of bad moral character” whereas the turkey was a “much more respectable bird… a bird of courage.” According to folklore, the wider the middle brown section of a woolly bear caterpillar, the milder the coming winter will be. The number of brown hairs has to do with the age of the caterpillar. It’s evidence of either a previous late winter or an early spring. AL BATT is a syndicated columnist.

“Make a wish, make a change” is the slogan of The Rack, a free boutique started by (l-r) Deb Hallin, Hannah Higginbotham, Leslie Graham, Lindsey Peterson and Alison Matykiewicz.

Mora students, teachers provide clothes for others BY PATTI MILLER NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

What started with a few clothes in a back room, shared with students to fill their basic needs, has become an entire room filled with donated clothing, shoes, undergarments, accessories and personal hygiene items for students to take. Open for just over a week, The Rack at Mora High School is busting at the seams with inventory and a positive vibe. Deb Hallin, Lindsey Peterson and Leslie Graham are the trio of Mora High School teachers who have spent countless hours implementing their vision. Social media helped spread the word of this unique venture and donations poured in. Each spent time this summer sorting, washing, ironing, steaming and folding donations from family, friends and acquaintances near and far. “We would work to get the donations we had sorted and organized and then

next time we’d open the door there was a new pile to go through,” Peterson said. The school district provided a space on the third floor that they have creatively converted into a welcoming boutique. There are no price tags, limits or age qualifications. “Our goal is to provide gently used trendy clothing to anyone who is in need,” said Hallin. This includes clothing necessary for a job interview, winter formals, Mustang spirit days and even a suit for a dapper custodian who was invited to be an escort at this year’s Homecoming festivities. The only obligation is to take a “Pay it Forward” card with their items. Graham explained: “Each of the cards has a simple task that encourages the person to spread kindness and gratitude. It could be opening the door for someone, writing a letter to a friend or even making a donation back to The Rack.” Student worker, Hannah Higginboth-

am works at The Rack as part of the School to Work program. She earns credit for the time she works and learns first-hand the coordination efforts needed, skills required to inventory donations, how to merchandise clothing and create awareness. She and fellow student Alison Matykiewicz, also spend time before and after school sorting, folding, steaming and helping students look through items that they may be interested in. “We wanted kids to worry less about what they were wearing and being able to focus on education,” said Peterson. Peterson mentioned the stigma that is often associated with lack of resources for students to wear trendy clothing or purchase hygiene items. “We don’t want anyone to feel embarrassed about coming to The Rack,” she said. In just the few days The Rack has been open, students have come to cure their curiosity, replace worn out shoes, grab a blanket or simply to help a friend find something a little nicer to help

them improve their self-confidence. These ladies were determined to provide clean, fashionable clothes and accessories to those in need at no cost. As educators they witnessed first-hand the barriers students face when they struggle to have clean clothes, personal hygiene items and items that most take for granted. Currently, The Rack is open from 7:45-8 a.m. before school, during lunches from 11 a.m. – 1 pm. and 3- 3:15 p.m. after school. The Rack may expand the hours as the need grows and they hope to recruit community volunteers. While the shelves are full right now, The Rack is still seeking donations. Items they currently need are: new women’s underwear, men’s jeans and pants, personal hygiene items, blankets, jackets, jewelry and Mustang spirit wear. Gently used, fashion trendy donations can be dropped off at the Mora High School Office during school hours.

What’s happening to our snow? See “Saving Snow” and hear climatologist Mark Seeley Oct. 29 BY TERRY SALMELA VASALOPPET USA

A film that looks at the economic impact of warmer and shorter winters with less snow will be shown on Monday, Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the Vasaloppet Nordic Ski Center Garage at 400 - 9th St. in Mora.

In addition, Dr. Mark Seeley, retired University of Minnesota Climatologist/Meteorologist will be present to share his comments on the film and his analysis of snow,

temperature and weather event trends over time. The film takes a look at what the ski and snow industries in several communities from Aspen, Colorado to Hayward, Wisconsin are doing to deal with changing winters and less snow.

Master gardeners teach students at Sapsucker Farms BY TERRY SALMELA UMN EXTENSION

UMN Extension Kanabec County Master Gardeners taught â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gardening is Scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learning stations on a fall outing for students and teachers at the Sapsucker Farms near Quamba Lake on Thursday, Oct. 4. One station was growing mushrooms and making maple syrup. The other three learning stations were on honey bees presented by Sapsucker Farms owner Debbie Morrison; organic apples and chickens by Master Gardener Valerie Prax and vegetable growing in hoop houses by Master Gardener Roberta Haight. The Kanabec County Master Gardeners, Valerie Prax and Roberta Haight and several other master gardeners will be teaching the third and fifth graders as part of their school science curriculum at several vegetable growing classes this fall, winter and next spring. The fifth graders will be starting plants indoors this coming spring for planting in six raised bed gardens at the elementary school next May.
