Saga’s sword Minnesota girl called Queen of Sweden after pulling a 1,500 year-old sword from a lake

Heading into the section 5A cross country meet at Spring Brook Golf Course the Mora boys were considered heavy favorites to once again win the section championship. Mora entered ranked eighth in the state and boasted the No. 5 ranked individual runner in Cooper Lennox. The Mora girls were predicted to be in a battle for the No. 2 slot to the state meet.

“When they named her Saga, I wondered why. Now I know. My Minnesota-born granddaughter found an ancient sword in a Swedish lake. It is almost too mystical to be true but I saw it myself,” said longtime Mora resident and very proud grandmother, Paula Vanecek. Saga Vanecek has now been dubbed “The Queen of Sweden” in this fairy tale story of an 8-year-old girl. Young Saga was spending the summer at a lake house in southern Sweden with her family and looking for skipping stones in a lake called Vidöstern in Tånnö. This was during one of the country’s driest periods in 200 years, and water levels were low. Saga

Fall back Nov. 4 STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 4 and Minnesota will return to standard time — meaning many will enjoy an extra hour of sleep. While similar time changes with the seasons were practiced by ancient civilizations, modern daylight saving time was invented by George Hudson in 1895. As a fun fact, Hudson collected insects as a ochild and later became an entomologist and astronomer living in New Zeland. At one point in his life he worked a shift job, but liked to collect insects during the daylight after his regular work hours. This meant having daylight available in the evenings was valuable to him. He later proposed the daylight saving time shift.

In the Oct. 25 issue of the Times, the voter guide listed two candidates for US Congress Dist. 8: Pete Stauber (R) and Joe Radinovich (D). The guide neglected to mention the Independence Party candidate, Ray Skip Sandman. The source of these questions and responses were the Minnesota Newspaper Association. There were no responses to these questions for Sandman, the voter guide should have mentioned he is on the ballot.

Question: I have noticed that my dad’s driving skills have diminished over the past few years and I am very concerned for his safety and others on the road. What steps can I take? Answer: This is a great question as I had investigated crashes where senior drivers had gone the wrong way on the freeway/highway or had gone through Ask A stop signs or stop Trooper lights, crashed and seriously inNeil Dickenson were jured or killed. I know having the conversation with a parent, family member or friend about going in for a road test or physical exam or just giving up the keys can be a very difficult one. Older drivers forced to stop driving may feel a lack of freedom, anger and may suffer from depression. While elderly drivers, as a general rule, are safer drivers, declining vision and physical abilities can put aging drivers at risk. Older drivers are more likely to get killed or injured because they are more likely to be physically fragile and less able to recover from injuries. As a family member, try to pay close

attention to older family members’ driving skills. Start the discussion of when to stop driving, and determine other transportation options. Age alone cannot be considered a good cause for re-examination. How to monitor older drivers’ driving: • New scratches or dents on vehicles or garages. • Stopped by an officer (whether or not received a ticket). Ride along with older driver and check if they: • Frequently check mirrors and look ahead to identify dangers. • Navigate turns (especially left hand turns) without undo risks or waits. • Keep within their lane lines. • Don’t get lost in familiar areas. • Drive at reasonable speeds. Write and sign a letter to the Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services (DPS-DVS) outlining specific concerns. DVS will contact the person and ask them to come in for an interview. Based on the interview, the person can be requested to conduct a written and road test, submit a vision report, and/or submit a doctor’s statement verifying that they are physically qualified to drive within 30 days of the interview.

If no concerns arise during the interview or if the driver passes a road quiz and appears to be physically fine, they may not be required to do anything further to continue to drive. If the person does not submit the requested statements or their vision/ physical report is unsatisfactory, their driver’s license can be cancelled. If the person is unable to pass the tests within the required time, their driver’s license is cancelled. Talk to a family member’s physician to see if the doctor has noticed the same problems. If so, ask the doctor to submit a request for a written/road test to DVS. If the physician sees that the person is not physically qualified to drive, the doctor can notify the department and DVS can cancel the driver’s privileges. Law enforcement can also contact DVS to review a person’s license if the person was stopped for reasons such as being lost, involved in a crash or if law enforcement witnessed their driving and felt that they should either retest or get a doctor’s written approval to drive. Don’t be afraid to speak up if you are concerned about someone’s driving behavior. It could end up saving their life or another life on the road.

This is my $400 rebuttal ad because the Kanabec County th Times refused to print it in the letters to the editor My rebuttal to Shayna and Matthew Hamiel — Matt and Shayna, I can assure you I have never stormed out of the high school meetings as you have indicated. Trust me, if I did, you would know it. I am a very busy man with farm work and a business to run. I don’t appreciate my time being wasted for nine months on a doomed repair task force from the start. I simply got up, told the guy from ICS he was a joke for trying to win himself a 9.7 million dollar pay day by having us try and ram another 40 million dollar referendum down the tax payers throats. My figure of speech stating I had beer to drink was a way of telling him we have more important things to do then sit and watch him try to convince us to accept his elaborate multi-million dollar referendum plan. I went home and continued to get work done on my combine I had started earlier in the day. I can tell you I know more about the building and maintenance of schools than anyone on that task force. I know what needs to be fixed, what needs to be replaced and what the school wants new. It’s not a task force, that I can assure you. Matt’s attempt to make light of an article in the Kanabec County Times about our first amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to video tape in public brings up a great subject. My attempt to educate the people in this community about what was happening, referendum wise at the time with some rolling billboards, brought out some of the most hateful people I have ever seen. The things that were done were incredible. So I contacted law enforcement and my attorney on what to do. Both said video tape every encounter with everyone and I did. Caught teachers swearing at me, threatening me, giving me the finger, rocks thrown at my vehicle, got my truck keyed. Many other things happened. So I posted many of my videos on YouTube hoping to embarrass the hell out of the ones doing the harassing. It worked great, word got out and it ended in two days. I can assure both of you I don’t hate anyone, not admin, not the school board, not teachers and especially not students. I have hired many students over the years on our farm and still hire them to this day. I have a lot of fun working side by side with them. As a matter of fact I have been promoting two current Mora students attempt to start their own business. They are 16 and 17 years old and are building and delivering deer hunting box blinds. We just got back from delivering and installing four of them in Iowa and Missouri. These kids are hard workers and I love helping them out. I am a big supporter of Dollars for Scholars, Mora wrestling and now the travel club. I love helping sponsor the two golf tourneys they put on. To say I don’t support the kids and the school is simply false. ~ John Roemhild

Use a more powerful weapon

fter a week of pipe bomb mailings and the deadly shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, I’ve been re-evaluating how I feel about the power of words. Last week I attended a wedding in Chicago. As the officiant spoke in front of the couple, he talked about love. He spoke about how marriage is more than just loving each other, but it takes effort to understand each other and build a lasting bond. Love and relationships take Editor work. Those in the room cried happy Kirsten Faurie tears, gave gifts to the budding couple and celebrated away the night with dance and drink. Sheltered in that venue, surrounded by music, food and happiness, I felt protected from the horrible things happening in the world. The next day as we drove the eight hours home, I heard voices on the radio discussing how the hate we hear in our political rhetoric turns into violent actions. I’ve previously preached my belief that the pen is mightier than the sword. I’ve claimed our words are our most powerful weapon. I don’t believe that any more. A million words are worth nothing unless someone hears them. Realizing the need to be heard and understood made me think of a book with a strong following. Author Douglas Adams’ fictional work, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, includes a curious weapon: the Point of View Gun. When fired, the Point of View Gun causes its target to see things from the holder’s point of view. It’s incredibly effective at resolving conflicts in Adams’ tale, and I can imagine it would be effective in the real world as well. Rather than spouting words or throwing fists, perhaps the most powerful weapon we can wield is understanding. Unfortunately, understanding isn’t something that can be mass produced and government issued. It isn’t an attitude that can be controlled or formed by laws or regulations. You can’t buy it in a store, or parrot it on social media. It has to be our decision to try and understand each other. With that I would encourage you to listen to everyone, but be careful about which words become your doctrine. Choose the words you speak even more carefully. Understanding is indeed the world’s most powerful weapon, if only we are brave enough to wield it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who is in charge?

QUOTABLES

To the editor, Correct me if I am wrong...I always thought our elected officials and Governor Dayton were in charge of our state. I fear I am naive. Two weeks ago was MEA. Our kids were out of school for two days. The Minnesota State Teachers Union, Education Minnesota, forbid any non-union member teachers from attending the meetings. Wow, this really “rings wrong” to me. Not only are the kids not learning anything these two days of MEA meetings, neither are a lot of the teachers. I do not like this. I do not like the union making the rules. Bet I’m not alone. Let’s not forget public education should be for everyone, both students and their teachers. Pat Johnson Mora

What has our world come to? To the editor, I recently went through a horrible ordeal. My billfold was stolen. I really was feeling sorry for myself because I lost treasured pictures and all forms of identification. But then I saw in the paper where a man had to put up a sign after hurricane Michael hit, “Looters will be shot!” to protect his home. I still feel bad about my pictures, but then I have to wonder, “What has our world come to?” Deb Held Mora

Sensible is good word to describe planned school building

125 YEARS AGO (1893) Last night was Hollowe’en. There were several proofs this morning that it had been celebrated. The front of this office was barricaded with wood. N. H. Danforth, lord mayor of Mora is taking in the sights at the World’s Fair. The freight traffic over the Great Northern appears to be heavier than last year. S. B. Molander has News from followed the example set by the editor and Yesteryear erected a commodious shed. Matt Anderson wood The Mora potato-market is practically closed, owing to the fact that our buyers have no facilities for handling tubers in cold weather. Dr. Niven, the painless dentist of St. Cloud will be in Mora, Nov. 13th, and 14th: Dentistry in all branches thoroughly done. Mrs. C. Selhaver gave birth to a bouncing boy on Sunday night. The mother and child are doing well and Chris stands the ordeal as usual. Knife Lake in this county is a pretty sheet of water and will some day become a pleasure resort. The land adjoining is suitable for farming and is just at present a desirable place to locate. The citizens of the town of Grass Lake are beginning to realize the growing importance of Mora as a trading point and are casting about with a view to opening up a shorter and more direct road from the center of that town to Mora. They have selected a route through the town of Comfort, which with the assistance of that town can be opened up at small cost. The road would be on high dry land most of the way, and when opened would shorten the distance one-third. We wish our Grass Lake friends success for the road would also be a great benefit to Mora as well as themselves.

100 YEARS AGO (1918) “Information For Tuesday’s Voters; Name of New Political Party Has Caused Confusion Among Voters:” On election day, next Tuesday each voter

will be furnished with three ballots, the state ballot, the county ballot and a ballot containing the Prohibition constitutional amendment. The latter is the so-called “Pink” ballot. It is the duty of the election judges to give each voter the three ballots. Upon the state ballot will be found all candidates who are running for state offices, with the party designation marked opposite the name of each candidate. The candidates for Justices of the Supreme Court have no party designation upon the ballot, but are labeled “Non-Partisan.” This does not mean that all the candidates for the Supreme Court are candidates of the so called “Non-Partisan League.” Some years ago the Legislature passed a law which was intended to take the Judges and local officers, including county offices, out of partisan politics. This law provided that candidates for such offices should be designated “Non-Partisan” upon the ballots. 75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Mora Students To Observe Armistice Day With Pageant; Service Men and General Public Invited to Attend Program at School Wednesday, Nov. 10:” The boys who died in Flanders fields or upon the seas during the last war have not been forgotten in Mora. High school pupils will pay tribute to their memory Wednesday morning, November 10, at 10:30 o’clock. “Mora Football Team Defeats Princeton 13-0:” Mora journeyed to Princeton Oct. 29 and defeated the Princeton Tigers 13-0 in a hard fought gridiron duel. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “Tuesday, Nov. 5 Is Election Day Vote! :” Tuesday is the day of decision for the nation as voters trek to the polls to elect a president and vice president. Some concern has been evidenced that the Wallace candidacy could cause enough of a split to keep any one of the three leading candidates from receiving the required number of electoral votes needed for election. Nixon and Agnew are the Republican candidates for president and vice president. They are opposed by Humphrey and Muskie on the Democratic-Farmer-Labor ticket and Wallace and Gen. LeMay on the American party ticket.

25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Courthouse: Alternatives to addition discussed:” Architect Bob Ogdahl presented county commissioners with preliminary plans for a new court-

house addition, which he estimated could cost from $2.25 million to $2.5 million. County officials identified problems with space limitations and the cost involved in matching the existing courthouse exterior. The addition would be built onto the east side of the existing courthouse, matching the roof, brick, stonework and windows as closely as possible to preserve the character of the existing structure which is on the historical register. “New school vote Dec. 16; Mora Board of Education adjusts size, cost of grades 4-6 building:” Sensible might be a good word to describe the kind of new intermediate (grades 4-6) building members of the Mora Board of Education want to see erected on their north property. In discussions of the matter last Thursday evening, all expressed a two-edged concern: the importance of keeping the project from becoming excessively expensive while, at the same time, being careful not to cut corners. In the words of one: “Its better to go a bit higher (spend sufficiently) now and not have to come back to the voters for more at a later date.” They were also clearly interested in remaining true to the scope and urgency of their own task force’s recommendations. Working off a preliminary plan drawn up by an architectural firm, board members offered relatively little variance to the proposed 73,000-squarefoot building. That structure would include the basics (21 classrooms, a cafeteria, a 70-by-96-feet gymnasium, a media center), plus additional areas designated for use in special education, art, music and science instruction.

SAGA: Girl dubbed Queen of Sweden after ﬁnding sword in a lake FROM PAGE 1

reached down in the shallow water and pulled out a old Viking sword. The sword is thought to be from the 5th or 6th century AD, pre-Viking Age, making it approximately 1,500 years old. The find has prompted huge interest from archaeologists and historians from around the world. The story has gone viral, gathering headlines on CNN, NPR and USA Today, to name a few of the national and international media who have featured the story of the little girl from Minnesota now dubbed “The Queen of Sweden.” You could say at least part of this ‘saga’ originated in Mora Minnesota. Saga’s dad, Andy, grew up in Mora along with his siblings and is a 1993 graduate

of Mora High School and went on to graduate from Macalester College. He joined “Up With People” in 1998 where he met his future Swedish wife Madeleine. The family spent 10 years together in Minnesota before eventually moving to Sweden last year with Minnesota born Saga and her younger brother, 6-year-old Vilgot (pronounced “veal-gawt.”) Saga’s grandparents Paula and Victor Vanecek settled in Mora in 1979 to raise their family. When in Minnesota, Saga enjoyed agate hunting with her grandfather Victor, raspberry picking, looking for deer, spending time at the park. She likes playing dolls and sewing with her grandmother Paula. In Sweden, Saga also likes swimming and biking. For the 2017 Vasaloppet, Saga and Vilgot did the count-

down in Swedish to start the race. With both parents fluent in Swedish they spoke that language at home much of the

time and the children were read books and saw movies in Swedish. When Saga reached down

and pulled the sword from the water, Victor and Paula were at home in Mora and received a message from Andy in Sweden about the find of a lifetime. It was approximately a week before the Vaneceks were about to leave for a trip to Sweden. They also had the opportunity to see the sword in person while in Sweden and had a front row seat as the story went viral. Paula and Victor admit they had no idea what something ‘going viral’ really meant until they watched the story unfold worldwide. Saga has even started getting fan mail and received a T-shirt in the mail that read “Instead of a prince, she found a sword.” For Paula and Victor, they are enjoying watching the saga continue.

advocacy center that could serve the east central region of the state. After three years of planning and organizing, the newly opened North Star Family Advocacy Center is committed to reducing further trauma to children and vulnerable adults by offering comprehensive support and embracing a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach to the investigation, treatment, and prosecution of reported cases of abuse. In late 2015, initial grant funding was secured and Executive Director, Jeremie Reinhardt was hired. Starting from square one, Reinhardt began to establish the organizational structure, bylaws, long term goals and registration of their 501(c)3 non-profit status. Community and professional partner Allina Health Care was approached about the potential to house the advocacy center in the former Braham Medical Center site. In December of 2017, Allina officially donated the building and renovation began in earnest. Walls were knocked down, safari themed exam rooms were reconfigured, sound proofing was added between existing rooms, floors were reconditioned and each interior wall received a fresh coat of paint. In July of 2017, the facility opened with one support staff and Forensic Interviewer and Program Coordinator, Kathryn Echols. Echols describes the advocacy center as, “one location that brings law enforcement, child protection, probation, victim services, therapist and advocates together to provide services for victims and their families through the criminal justice process.” The center boasts the ability to

digitally record victim statements in high definition, with real time voice rendering. The victim and interviewer are monitored and recorded in one room while additional professionals are in an adjacent room analyzing details and collecting as much information as possible. “This allows the victim to retell the story one time with our team of partners observing, analyzing and collaborating,” said Echols. The center also utilizes “telehealth” services with nationally renowned sexual assault pediatrician Dr. Mark Hudson. Through this telecommunications technology Dr. Hudson can provide video guidance during the physical examination. Spacious, no-frill rooms with comfortable chairs, couches, phones and recording devices keep the atmosphere safe and non-threatening for victims and their families. “Navigating to Braham verses a location in St. Paul reduces the stress and additional anxiety for our victims and their families,” said Lynn Zierden, of Isanti County Family Services. “Often times the stress of driving to the Twin Cities, parking and navigating unfamiliar spaces can create such tension that the victim is unable to complete the interview process,” said Zierden. Since July of 2017 the center has served 40 victims and their families. Currently, they are providing services to agencies in Isanti County. “Eventually we will be able to serve our neighboring counties. Our hope is to add counties one at a time and continue to build our capacity,” said Reinhardt. For more information, North Star Family Advocacy Center can be contacted at (763) 252-6120.

Cities, county set higher prelim. tax levies Learn more with the Kanabec County Times’ guide to understanding property taxes: BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

Local government units have been hitting the books, talking budgets and setting proposed tax levies. These proposed/preliminary levies are still subject to change. These amounts can be decreased as agencies continue to refine their budgets and hear comments from citizens. Seven of Kanabec County’s major taxing units and the proposed changes to their tax levy are detailed at right under “How are you being taxed?” WHAT IS A LEVY? HOW DO THEY AFFECT TAXES? Property taxes can be confusing. According to Kanabec County Auditor, Denise Snyder, Minnesota has one of the most complicated property tax systems in the United States. Property taxes are based on levies set by local governments (a.k.a. “taxing units”) and the value and classification of your property. Your local taxing units can include your county, township, school district and city or town. These local governments use property taxes to help pay for things like libraries, schools, roads, fire protection, police, public health, parks and other services. Typically, each property is taxed by several taxing units. For example, each property in Kanabec County is taxed by the county, a school district and a city or township. Every September, each local government unit looks at their budgets and determines how much money they must levy from taxpayers to make those budgets. Governments must first set a preliminary or proposed levy. This is used to estimate next year’s property taxes for each jurisdiction’s property owners. Final levies are approved before Dec. 31 and can be less than the preliminary levy, but not more. These levies determine (in part) how much property owners pay in property taxes in the year 2018. Once a local government sets a property tax levy, it must be divided among that government’s total tax capacity (i.e. the total value of all the properties based on their market value and class rates). Many factors affect a property tax bill. Determining how much each property owner owes and their role in it can be broken down into four stages detailed at right.

HOW ARE YOU BEING TAXED? Local taxing units have been refining refining their budgets and determining their proposed levies levies. The final final levy for that year can be less than the proposed levy, but not more. Below are each taxing unit’s levy changes: KANABEC COUNTY 2018 Levy: $11,520,608 Proposed 2019 Levy: $11,821,756 Percent Change: + 2.54% Truth-in-taxation meeting: 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the Kanabec County Courthouse Items of Note: Before setting the final levy, the county board has set a goal to reduce their budget enough to bring the percent increase down to 2%. This is quite a bit less than neighboring counties’ preliminary levies: Pine (+4.5%); Isanti (+5.9); Mille Lacs (+6.5%); and Aitkin (+9.18%). County Coordinator Pat Christopherson explained that for approximately 5 years during and after the great recession and financial crises of 2007, the county board firmly held 0% levy increases in an effort to alleviate financial stress during difficult economic times. However, 0% levy increases did not keep up with increases in costs. Christopherson explained that as an entity, the board has since adopted a goal of 2% levy increases (or less) as an accurate reflection for what it would take to run the county responsibly.

CITY OF MORA 2018 Levy: $763,789 Proposed 2019 Levy: $808,585 Percent Change: +5.86% Truth-in-taxation meeting: 6:30 p.m. Dec. 4 at Mora City Hall Items of Note: Mora city administrator Lindy Crawford said she expects the city’s proposed levy to be further reduced as they refine their 2019 budget. Most changes will be related to labor agreements and benefits that are still being negotiated. She said notable increases in the budget were related to information technology improvements, connectivity, personnel/ benefit changes and capital improvement projects. OGILVIE SCHOOL DISTRICT (ISD 333) 2018 Levy: $927,795.74 Proposed 2019 Levy: $1,078,007 Percent Change: +16.19% Truth-in-taxation meeting: 6:01 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10 at Ogilvie School Board Room Items of Note: Increases in the 2019 levy reflect an Aug. 14 voter-approved 1-day bond authority.

MORA SCHOOL DISTRICT (ISD 332) 2018 Levy: $3,248,196 Proposed 2019 Levy: $3,078,275 Percent Change: -5.23% Truth-in-taxation meeting: Thursday, Dec. 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Mora High School Board Room CITY OF OGILVIE 2018 Levy: $102,740 Proposed 2019 Levy: $104,467 Percent Change: +01.68% Final budget meeting: Budget decisions will be ﬁnalized at Ogilvie’s regular meeting Dec. 19, 6:30 p.m. at the Ogilvie Civic Center. Items of Note: Ogilvie City Administrator Tammy Pfaff recognized the city of Ogilvie’s levy increased by $1,727, she said there were not signiﬁcant changes to the city’s budget with the exception of more funds allocated to street repair. CITY OF GRASSTON 2018 Levy: $13,800 Proposed 2019 Levy: $13,800 Percent Change: 0%

CITY OF QUAMBA 2018 Levy: $35,500 Proposed 2019 Levy: $35,500 Percent Change: 0%

THE 4 STAGES OF THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM 1. VALUING THE PROPERTY

2. PROTESTING THE VALUES

Minnesota property tax is divided among properties according to their value and classification. The estimated market value and classification of a property is determined by the Kanabec County Assessor’s Office as of Jan. 2 each year. The assessor uses historical sales in order to estimate each property’s market value. The classification of a property is based on its use. Each class of property (residential, cabin, farm, commercial, etc.) has a different classification rate set by the Legislature. Some property types pay a greater share of the property tax than others.

Notice of valuation statements are sent out every year in March informing you of the value and classification of your property as of Jan. 2. The value is based on qualified sales from the prior Oct. 1-Sept. 30 sales period. If a property owner believes the value or classification of their property is incorrect, they should contact the assessor’s office right away. If a property owner is not satisfied with the results of their visit with the assessor, they may take their complaint to the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization in April. Still not satisfied? Property owners can then take the valuation issue to the County Board of Appeal and then to Minnesota Tax Court.

3. ADOPTING LEVIES Each local government (city, township, school district, etc.) ﬁrst determines how much money it needs to collect from property taxes. This amount is called the levy. The levy is then spread among the taxpayers according to their property’s value and classiﬁcation.

THE PRELIMINARY OR PROPOSED LEVY In September, each local government must ﬁrst set a preliminary or proposed levy. This is used to estimate next year’s taxes for Truth-in-Taxation notices.

TRUTH IN TAXATION Every year between Nov. 10 and Nov. 25, all property owners receive a “Truth-in-Taxation” notice. This notice includes three things: 1. The valuation and classiﬁcation information 2. The current-year property tax amounts 3. An estimate of how taxes may change based on the local governments’ proposed levies The notice also shows the schedule for local Truth-inTaxation meetings. These meetings are designed for citizens to voice concerns regarding that unit’s budget and spending. This is not the time to appeal market value or discuss individual property taxes.

APPROVING THE FINAL LEVY After local governments hold their Truth-In-Taxation meetings, the unit must approve the ﬁnal levy before Dec. 31. The ﬁnal levy can be less than the proposed levy, but not more.

4. COLLECTING TAXES The Kanabec County Treasurer’s Office mails a tax statement to each property owner by March 31 each year. Taxes are due in two, equal portions. First payment due: May 15 Second payment due: October 15 (If agricultural, second payment is not due until Nov. 15)

Speaking the truth with love makes all the difference

peaking the truth with love can make all the difference in our relationships with one another. The apostle Paul knew how important it was to temper what he said with love when he said to the people at Corinth “It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak” (2 Focus on Corinthians 4:13). There is a story told Faith of a man in a barber chair who was liberally Marlin Harris sprinkling his conver-

sation with profanity, using God’s name in vain. But when the barber thanked him for the money he paid for the haircut, the man said, “Don’t thank me; thank the Lord who gave it to me.” Though we might wonder about a faith that takes God’s name in vain, what the man said was true: every gift we have comes from God. Truth is truth regardless of who speaks it – a nonbeliever, a robot or the devil himself. The devil acknowledged and said through a demon-possessed man that Jesus is “the Son of the Most High God” (Mark 5:7). Truth is truth, no matter who speaks it. How much better, though, when people who speak the truth believe it,

for then they speak with conviction. Yet how much more effective when the truth is spoken in love. When St. Paul said to the jailer of Philippi “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31), you can be sure that he said it with kindness to the man who had earlier beaten him. You can be sure that it didn’t sound like a recorded message, or like mechanical sounds such as a robot can be made to say. The apostle spoke the truth in love – what a difference that made! What difference it makes today, when in our association with other people in the home, at work, in school, at church or in the community, we speak the truth in love. Then what we say comes

from a source deeper than the mouth; it comes from the heart. The apostle encourages us, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Eph. 4:32). Out of love to Jesus Christ, who died to save you, we can speak the truth with kindness. Let’s pray that the Holy Spirit’s twin fruits of truthfulness and love may abound in your life.

BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Despite having the best record in the section at 8-0, the Mora varsity football team was seeded No. 2 behind Annandale. Thus, Mora had to host a first-round playoff game on Tuesday, Oct. 23 versus a 0-8 Minneapolis Patrick Henry team. Mora showed why they were undefeated and why Patrick Henry was winless with a 53-16 victory over the Patriots. MORA VS. PATRICK HENRY Patrick Henry moved the ball a bit on their opening drive of the game, but then there was a beginning to a trend: turnovers. The Patriots fumbled away their opening possession around midfield. In fact, Patrick Henry turned the ball over on their first three possessions. The Mustangs made them pay each time by scoring three touchdowns off those turnovers. Idris Anderson opened the scoring for Mora on their second play from scrimmage from 40 yards out. Anderson would score again after Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third turnover from three yards out. Sandwiched in between was a Jonathan Smith one yard touchdown. Mora was perfect on their two-

point conversion and led 24-0 after the first quarter. The second quarter saw much of the same as Patrick Henry threw two interceptions and turned the ball over once on downs. Brycen Schritz scored from 19 yards out after the Mora defense forced a turnover on downs. Schritz also picked off a pass that the offense once again took advantage of. Anderson scored his third touchdown of the half from 15 yards out. Mora took an insurmountable 39-0 lead into the locker room. The first time Mora touched the ball in the second half Jonathan Smith busted loose for a 77-yard touchdown run. The tone was set for the second half and Mora cruised from there. Head coach Troy Erickson was pleased to be moving on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won the turnover battle (plus five), we stayed healthy, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving to the next round.â&#x20AC;? MORA VS. SPECTRUM The second round opponent was the Spectrum Sting. The Sting came into the game with a little more pedigree than Patrick Henry. Spectrum (8-1 record entering the game) came in as the top scoring team in class AAA

averaging 54 points a game. The Sting also boasted a 5,000 yard career rusher in Fisher Marberg. Marberg became only the 15th player in state history to eclipse the 5,000 yard mark earlier this season. Spectrum defeated Pine City in the opening round by a score of 42-14. The Mora faithful may have been a bit worried early. Spectrum marched the ball right down the field on the ground. Marberg punctuated the drive with an 18-yard touchdown run. With the two-point conversion Mora trailed 8-0. Tysonn Peterson immediately got Mora on the board. Peterson took the ensuing kickoff back 87 yards for a touchdown to answer the Sting drive. However, the twopoint conversion failed and Mora still trailed 8-6. The defense stepped up for the remainder of the half. The defense forced consecutive three and outs setting up the offense with short fields. Jonathan Smith and Jaden Ponto scored quickly after the three and outs and Mora was in control 20-8 after the first quarter. Also helping out was the fact that Fisher Marberg left the SEE BATTLE, PAGE 13

entered at the favorites ranked No. 4 in the state. Going into the meet head coach Chris Goebel said, “Cooper Lennox is the defending section champion. With our depth our boys should be the favorites. “We have such a talented group of girls. Our section is so deep with girl’s teams. At one point during the season five teams from our section were ranked in the top 12.” It was a cool day with no wind on what Coach Goebel said, “was a perfect day to run.” The Mora boys held up their end of the bargain qualifying for the state meet for the 13th consecutive year. It was also their sixth consecutive section title. Mora finished with 59 team points besting runner-up Heritage Christian which had 79 points. Cooper Lennox defended his individual section title. Lennox ran a personal best 16:04.5 to outdistance the second place runner by about 38 seconds. The boys team overall had a great race as Nathan Williams, Kaden Smart, Caleb Weaver and Josh Rawls all came in together in 13th through 16th place. All four also ran personal bests along with Kaden Halvorson who came in 36th. The girl’s team didn’t fare as well finishing fourth as a team. Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted finished first with Providence Academy coming in second. The girl’s team did have two individuals qualify for the state meet. Sophomore Peyton Oslin ran a personal best 19:59.4 to finish in 11th place to qualify for the second straight year. Freshman Eva Holmgren qualified for the first time finishing 14th with a time of 20:15.7. The state cross country meet will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at St. Olaf College in Northfield. The Mora boys will run at 1 p.m. while the girls will run at 2 p.m.

Ogilvie Lions advance to section ﬁnals Felde becomes alltime leading rusher in Ogilvie history BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The top seeded Ogilvie Lions opened their section playoff run on Saturday after a first round bye hosting Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart. BLHS avenged a regular season loss to Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s by upsetting them in the opening round 33-22. Last season the two teams met in the first round of the section playoffs with BLHS coming out on top 46-10. So, despite a record of 3-6, the Lions knew they would be in for a battle. The game was tightly contested throughout. It was a hard hitting, physical battle with a number of players getting dinged up. In the end, Ogilvie made one more play than the Mustangs and advanced to the section finals with a 20-15 victory. The Lions created their first break on the Mustangs opening drive of the game. Jon Brasch recovered a fumble around midfield after a couple of first downs to give the Lions good field position. The offense took advantage on its opening play. Brian Nelson took the handoff 50 yards for a touchdown. Jake Felde ran in the two-point conversion and the Lions took an 8-0 lead.

DENISE KREBS | TIMES

Beau Burk makes the game-winning touchdown.

The Mustangs showed their mettle by answering right back. After taking over on their own 36-yard line and getting one first down a long run was broken off for a 47yard touchdown. The two-point conversion tied the game 8-8. Ogilvie got a great kick-off return from Beau Burk to set up the Lions deep in Mustang territory on their next possession. But, this time the Lions couldn’t take advantage of the superior field position and turned the ball over on downs. BLHS appeared to get a big

play on their next possession by converting a third-and-16 from their own 20-yard line. But, a penalty negated the play and they were forced to punt. On the ensuing possession Jake Felde made Ogilvie football history. Felde broke off a 58-yard touchdown run. The run made Felde the all-time leading rusher in Ogilvie football history. More importantly, the record breaking run gave the Lions a 14-8 lead after the two-point conversion failed. The defenses really took over in the second and third quar-

ters for both teams. The intensity and hard hitting could be felt by both teams. When a team started to move the ball a bit the defenses would rise up to halt momentum. Early in the fourth quarter the Mustangs broke through. On a 3rd and 10 from the Lions 20 yard line, the Mustangs converted for a touchdown. They kicked the extra point to take a 15-14 lead. The grit and resolve of the Lions was put to the test. The offense passed with flying colors. Taking over on their own 20-yard line the Lions began their march. Jake Felde and Brian Nelson converted a couple of key third downs on the drive. Then, with less than six minutes left in the game, Brady Harlan connected with Beau Burk for a 30-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion failed and Ogilvie clung to a 20-15 lead. Now, the defense would be put to the test. BLHS converted a third-and-7 and a fourthand-6 on the drive they had hoped would propel them to victory. But, with 1:38 left in the game, Beau Burk came up with a defensive gem intercepting a pass around the five yard line. The Lions assumed victory formation on offense and celebrated a 20-15 win. Head coach Dave Halvorson was proud of his team, “The boys played very physical football and fought through some injuries to finish the game. Now we have a real long road trip to Marshall but are glad to

be there.” The victory propels the Lions to the section finals on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. at Southwest Minnesota State in Marshall. The last time Ogilvie played in a section final was 2009 when they were playing class A football. Their opponent will be Russell-Tyler-Ruthton. RTR is the defending section champion and advanced to the state semi-finals last year at U.S. Bank Stadium before succumbing to Nevis 44-16. On their opponent coach Halvorson said, “RTR can score a lot of points throwing the football. It will be a different game from the BLHS game.”

BATTLE: Mora advances to take on top seed, Annandale FROM PAGE 10

game with an injury. He took a shot to the hip in the first quarter. He tried to return, but couldn’t effectively play. That hurt the Sting offensively and also on defense as he was their middle linebacker. The defense continued to stymie the Sting rushing attack. The defense stopped a fourth down fake punt and later on forced another turnover on downs. The offense continued to have short fields to work with and took full advantage. Smith scored again, this time from 52 yards after the failed Sting fake punt. Brycen Schritz hit Cole Steffen for a 14 yard touchdown after the defense forced a turnover on downs. Once again, an insurmountable lead of 34-8 was taken to the locker room. During the game Jonathan Smith set another milestone on his remarkable season. Smith eclipsed the 2,000 yard mark for the season and now stands at 2,046 yards. In the second half the rain was coming down hard. The second half was somewhat sloppy, but Brycen Schrtiz made sure the Sting had no illusions of a comeback with a 19-yard touchdown scamper. Mora would cruise to a 40-14 win. On his defense, coach Erickson said, “after the first drive our defense executed their game plan well. It took that first drive to get our feet wet and settled in. Afterward they did a great job.” The victory propelled the Mustangs to their third consecutive section championship game. The victory was the 10th of the season which is only the ninth time in school history Mora has reached the 10 win plateau. Mora will play at St. Cloud State University on Friday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. versus the top seed in the section Annandale. The Cardinals will enter the game with a record of 8-1 and are coming off a 22-6 victory over Milaca in the semi-finals. On Annandale coach Erickson said, “They are very athletic on defense. Offensively their quarterback is very good. He’s accurate and elusive in the pocket. It should be a fun game.”

The Mora Mustangs girls tennis team built skills, experience and confidence in late-season play. With a strong group of returning varsity players, the team has high hopes for the 2019 season. “The Section 7 A tournaments were last week,” said head coach Mara Sjodin, “and we didn’t make it past the sub-section round. It’s never easy to go into something like that with high hopes, and not have it go the way you would like. But in the playoffs we looked better and were more confident. Our girls had good matches in some of our late-season play, and in some sub-section individual matches.” “It was kind of a tough day, but the girls’ attitude was ‘there’s always next year.’ And it’s true; we’ll return all of our varsity players next year.” This fall the Mustangs had two solid wins over Cloquet-Esko-Carlton on Aug. 20 and Sept. 22, along with victories against Little Falls on Sept. 11 and Aitkin on Sept. 18. Sjodin and the team are looking ahead to the future. “We’re not staying where we are,” she said. “We began the season looking for confidence and mental toughness, finding that grit. A lot of the girls do a lot of work in the off-season, but they’re starting to realize that other teams do that too,” she said. “We’ll have access to the FirstLight Wellness Center, with open court times coming up soon. It’s nice that we don’t have to take a huge break and lose a lot of our progress.” Sjodin said the Mustangs are confident about next fall’s team. “With the end of the season I can see where we can improve for next year. Despite having a lot of players needing to learn and adapt more quickly than they would have otherwise, we came out confident.” “And we’re not going anywhere. We’re going to be back, stronger and tougher.”

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS October 30, 2018 The following Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation officer weekly reports explain the activities performed by Division of Enforcement personnel in protecting Minnesota’s natural resources through effective law enforcement and education. Provided by the MN DNR on Oct. 16, 2018.

Mora: Conservation Officer Mike Krauel spent the week checking small-game and archery hunters. Krauel also worked on computer equipment transfer and took several calls involving neighbor disputes and hunting land.

Cambridge: Conservation Officer Angela Londgren investigated a trespass complaint where a hunter was found hunting within close proximity to several hundred acres of a corn field, but bought a 50-pound bag of corn that he placed next to his blind. The hunter also had a flashlight mounted to his compound bow, which he explained was so he could find his way in and out to his blind. Londgren also worked with a neighboring officer and their patience paid off. After waiting for an archery hunter to come out of a local WMA, he was found to be revoked from hunting, therefore he was hunting without a license. Calls were taken on trespassing, public water/ wetland/aquatic vegetation violations, ATV complaints, and hunter harassment.

Pine City: Conservation officer Eugene Wynn answered numerous questions regarding the upcoming deer season. He issued car-killed deer permits and assisted the Pine County Sheriff’s Office with locating a farmer involved in a traffic accident.

Hinckley: Conservation officer Bret Grundmeier dealt with an increase in trespassing calls as landowners started finding some hunters scouting and placing deer stands on private property without permission. Several bear-hunting cases were also finished up including one that involved hunter harassment. Bear hunters have always been competitive about getting the best public hunting spots, but recently it has escalated to the point of disrupting another person’s hunt. Trail cameras were messed with, stands were pushed over, and in one of the more unfortunate harassing actions, one person left a freshly made pile of human waste for a hunter to find when walking out to the stand.

Deer season opens this weekend CONTRIBUTED MN DNR

Minnesota’s firearms deer season begins a halfhour before sunrise on Saturday, Nov. 3, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources expects half a million hunters to participate. Some points to remember: Hunters will have additional deer hunting opportunities because deer numbers continue to rebound across the state. Many areas now have populations at or above goal levels. Hunters should follow the three tenets of safe firearms handling: Treat each firearm as if it is loaded by keeping finger off the trigger; always control the muzzle of the firearm; and be sure of target and what is beyond. Tree stand accidents are the leading cause of injury to hunters, so it’s always important they wear a safety harness and follow other safety guidelines. The DNR requires hunters in central, north-central and southeast Minnesota (including deer permit area 255) to have their harvested deer tested for chronic wasting disease during opening weekend of the season on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Sunday, Nov. 4. Mandatory CWD testing also will occur in much of southeast Minnesota during the opening weekend of the 3B season, Saturday, Nov. 17, and Sunday, Nov. 18. During both periods, stations will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Hunters can find information about CWD testing locations and procedures at mndnr.gov/ cwd and in the 2018 Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet. Hunters can find deer hunting information at mndnr. gov/hunting/deer and join in on social media using #DeerCampMN. They can direct hunting questions to the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or 888-646-6367, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Deer: The animal • Adult female white-tailed deer weigh about 145 lbs., and males weigh about 170 lbs. • The biggest white-tailed deer recorded in Minnesota was a 500-pound buck. • A whitetail’s home range is about 1 square mile. Deer hunting • There are nearly 500,000 firearms deer hunters in Minnesota. • Last year, 35 percent of Minnesota firearm hunters successfully harvested a deer. About 53 percent were antlered bucks. • 70 percent of Minnesota’s firearms deer harvest typically occurs during the first three or four days of the season. • The average hunter spends five days afield during Minnesota’s firearms deer season. • The highest deer harvests occurred during the early to mid-1990s and from 2000 to 2008. From 2000 to 2008 the harvest topped 200,000 deer each year. The high harvests in the early 2000s occurred at a time when the overriding philosophy was to reduce the deer population so it wouldn’t grow out of control and to address certain environmental, economic and social concerns. Harvests in the 1970s never topped 100,000, while harvests in the 1980s were under 150,000. In 2017, the harvest was just over 197,500. Deer licenses and seasons • In total, about 666,000 deer hunting licenses and permits (all types) were sold in 2017. • The three primary types of deer hunting seasons are firearms, muzzleloader and archery. Firearms season opens on Saturday, Nov. 3; muzzleloader on Saturday, Nov. 24; and archery season opened on Sept. 15. • The DNR Information Center received over 4,600 inquires via phone and email the week leading up to last year’s firearms deer opener. The majority of the questions were related to the upcoming deer season. Firearms hunter safety • The three most common factors in hunting-related firearms incidents are careless handling, not knowing the safe zone of fire and not being sure of what’s beyond the target. • The three tenets of safe firearms handling are: Treat each firearm as if it is loaded by keeping your finger off the trigger; always control the muzzle of your firearm; and be sure of your target and what is beyond. • Since 2011, the DNR’s 4,000 certified instructors have provided firearms safety training to 177,453 students. Deer management in Minnesota • The DNR is entrusted to manage the deer herd on behalf of, and for, the benefit of all Minnesotans. • The DNR recently completed a strategic statewide deer plan to guide efforts related to deer over the next 10 years. • Hunters help manage deer populations, and hunting also is a tool used to control deer diseases, including chronic wasting disease. • Opinions on how deer should be managed are diverse, and the DNR values all opinions. Deer population management affects many other natural resources.

She sspent her early childhood g growing up in Braham. B Being the eldest of four ssiblings meant that the ressponsibility for the younger c children and supervision of h household chores fell on her sshoulders while her parents w worked.

Her’s, truly w were “helping hands.” After graduating from Braham High School, she was united in marriage to William Washburn of Mora on Aug. 13, 1948. They lived happily together for almost 60 years in her husband’s childhood home raising their family, working their jobs and tending their garden. She could coax even the most reluctant plant to bloom and be noticed. Family was central to her and her husband, and they took every opportunity crisscrossing the country to visit their children and grandchildren as well as other family members. Her adventurous spirit found her fishing for salmon in Alaska, swimming with dolphins in Florida, cruising the seas of the Caribbean and flying the skies to points north, south, east and west to celebrate family milestones and make cherished memories with those she loved and who in turn, loved and cherished her. Always independent minded, her fervent wish after her husband’s death was to stay as long as she was able in the home that she loved. The good Lord granted that wish to his faithful servant and sent her a “cadre of angels,” whom she affectionately knew as friends. They willingly stepped in, especially during the past few years, to provide critical support when distance prevented her children from being there to run everyday errands, take her to appointments, make trips to Cambridge, or just drop by the house to check in and chat. Throughout her lifetime, she held a variety of jobs. Her last, was working for Riechel’s grocery store where she was known for making customers and co-workers feel valued and appreciated. She was truly a “people person” and loved getting together for a cup of coffee and visit or catching up on life with a phone call. As a communicant of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, her faith led her to volunteer at the Mora Food Shelf for as long as she was able, deliver Meals on Wheels, and participate with Soup for the Soul. She was a firm believer in “paying it forward” and she did that quietly behind the scenes whenever and wherever there was a need. With that in mind, her family is immensely proud of how she lived her “dash.” Besides her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by sister Joyce Falls of Seattle, Washington, brother Robert Eller of Seaside, Oregon, sister-in-law Janice Ovik of Mora and brother-in-law Jack Washburn of Anchorage, Alaska. Survivors include brother, Jerry Eller of Seaside Oregon, sister-in-law, Shirley Eller of Seaside, Oregon, son Terry (Heidi) Washburn of Union, Maine and daughter Valerie (Ken) Soik of Anchorage, Alaska. She also leaves grandchildren Michael Soik, Christine Kelliher, Terry Washburn, Kathy Rollins, Peter Washburn and Kelly Washburn; seven great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren as well as several cousins, nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, it would have been her wish that others pay it forward to their favorite charity. Memorial mass was held on Wednesday Oct. 31, 2018, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Mora. Officiated by Fr. William Vos and Rita Clasemann, music provided by St. Mary’s Choir and Kris Paulson. Burial at Fort Snelling National Cemetery at a later date. Arrangements by Dresser-Methven Funeral Home.

Let me rest and know you’re with me, kiss my cheek and hold my hand. I’m confused beyond your concept, I’m sad and sick and lost. All I know is that I need you, to be with me at all cost. Do not lose your patience with me, do not scold or curse or cry. I can’t help the way I’m acting, I can’t be different though I try. Just remember that I need you, that the best of me is gone. Please don’t fail to stand beside me, love me ‘til my life is gone. ~Author Unknown
