Swim team ‘making ripples’ BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

hypothesized that after all the valid ballots were counted, election judges had removed the spoiled ballots from the their envelope in order to count them. Rather than returning them to the spoiled ballot envelope, they were placed with the valid ballots. Snyder showed judges how a spoiled ballot was likely to have a specific type of crinkle in the paper.

The Ogilvie/Mora Swim Team capped off a season of firsts with a successful showing at the State Tournament on Wednesday-Saturday, Nov. 14-17, as four swimmers competed in three individual and one team event. “This team had several ‘first in history’ events this year,” said head coach Sara Miller. “These included a winning record of 8-2, a first-place finish at an invitational tournament, setting three pool records, breaking the diving school record, sending two divers to the Section 5 A Tournament Sara MIller and sending a relay OMST Head Coach team and two individuals to State.” Mora junior Jenna Williams made her second State appearance and placed seventh in the 100-yard backstroke. Also competing was the medley relay team made up of Williams, Mora senior Kallee Swenson, Mora junior Sage Wren and Ogilvie junior Olivia Hudoba, with Hudoba also participating in the 200-yard and 100-yard freestyle.

With Sortkwik on their ﬁngertips, election officials recount ballots by hand from seven Kanabec County townships.

Craig claims District 5 recount BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

Results of the Kanabec County Commissioner District 5 race recount showed no changes from the original results, confirming Craig Smith as the election winner. Seven Kanabec County precincts recounted ballots on Monday, Nov. 19 after initial results of the Nov. 6 election show the Commissioner District 5 race was

won by a mere two-vote difference. Challenger Craig Smith won the race with 611 votes to incumbent Kim Smith’s 609. KROSCHEL CONUNDRUM A seven-ballot error in Kroschel Township had onlookers holding their breath as election judges sorted and counted. Paperwork from the township indicated there were seven spoiled ballots, yet no

ballots were in the spoiled ballots envelope; there were also seven extra ballots counted amongst the valid ballots. A spoiled ballot is an invalid ballot not counted in the total results. For example, if a voter marks incorrectly and requests a new ballot, their first draft is considered a spoiled ballot and stored separately from the valid ballots. Kanabec County Auditor/ Treasurer Denise Snyder

Public transportation explores tri-county partnership BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM

Timber Trails Public Transit may be expanding its reach by likely merging with another public transportation group operated by Chisago and Isanti counties. In recent years, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has shifted gears from organizing public transportation restricted to county borders to supporting more regional transportation systems and inter-county partnerships. Kanabec County Community Health Co-Director Kathy Burski, commissioner Kim Smith

and Kanabec County Timber Trails Director Helen Pieper met with Heartland Express, a county-operated public transportation service that covers both Chisago and Isanti Counties on Oct. 30. During the meeting, parties discussed if the three counties would be interested in pursuing a partnership to coordinate and expand services for their residents. At the end of the meeting, the parties agreed to draft a resolution that would show intent to work toward a merger. The resolution is expected to be presented to the Kanabec County Board of Commissioners within the next month.

Vadnais Heights man charged with sexual assault of two underage girls

Man charged with child’s rape STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

A man has been charged with three felony counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree after allegations were made of sexual assault including rape of a girl under age 10. According to the criminal complaint filed by the Kanabec County Court Administrator’s Office, a teenage victim reported sexual abuses to the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office in the spring of 2018. The victim reported that a family friend, Devan Michael Hickey, 32, had molested her as a child while she was living with her mother and stepfather in Mora.

The victim recalled three specific incidents of abuse that occurred over the course of three years, all while she was under the age of 10. The described incidents included an act of oral sex, forced penetration and other Hickey touching of genitals. Hickey is listed as homeless and is currently in custody at the Kanabec County Jail. Hickey was charged Nov. 9 with three felony counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree.

STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

A 20-year-old man from Vadnais Heights who met two minor girls from Mora via social media has been charged with six felonies related to their sexual assault. According to the criminal complaint filed by the Kanabec County Court Administrator’s Office, Connor Alexander Sweet, 20, of Vadnais Heights met the first victim (Victim 1) over electronic media and conversed with her via Snapchat. Throughout the summer and fall, the two had met several times in person until during one visit, Victim 1 reported Sweet had solicited her for oral sex and had forced sexual intercourse with her in his truck at Canoe Park in Mora.

The teenage victim was not old enough to legally consent to sex with Sweet. Approximately one week after that incident, Sweet was in contact with a pre-teen he had met as a friend of Victim 1’s. This person (Victim 2) had gotten a ride from Sweet and he took her to Canoe Park. S Sweet t Victim 1 had received distressing text messages from Victim 2; Victim 1 called the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office which dispatched a deputy to Canoe Park. When the deputy arrived, he observed Sweet in the truck with Victim 2.

Victim 2 reported to the deputy Sweet had solicited her for oral sex, had forcibly touched her genitals and continued after she asked him to stop. When questioned by the deputy, Sweet admitted to having sexual contact with both victims. In the case related to Victim 1, Sweet was charged with two felony counts of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree and one felony count of soliciting a child to engage in sexual conduct. In the case related to Victim 2, Sweet was charged with two felony counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree and one felony count of soliciting a child to engage in sexual conduct.

Talking with survivors of sexual abuse requires sensitivity

ecause we do not ever want to speak an incorrect or insensitive word when someone confides in us that they have been sexually assaulted, we immediately become uncomfortable while saying very little, then usually the conversation ceases. For most all sexual assault survivors, disclosing their assault is often the most difficult memory Guest or words they share. Column As a listener, one must be non-judgmental and Kathy Karas listen with patience. Along with giving the survivor the time and place to be safely heard, there are additional resources that can be helpful. Things such as where to seek proper medical and mental health attention, how to reach the National Sexual Assault Hotline or what law enforcement agency is the best to contact can be helpful recommendations. Yet, the most important way to continually support a survivor is giving them time and place to talk. SHOW SUPPORT Here are some specific phrases the

Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network recommends saying to show support for all survivor’s stories and assist in their own healing process. • “It is not your fault. You didn’t do or say anything to deserve this.” One of the most common emotions survivors of sexual assault feel is self-blame, especially if they personally know the perpetrator. Survivors may need continual reminders that they are NOT to be blamed, nor did they ask for what happened to them. • “You are not alone. I care about you and am here to listen as long as you need me. I will help in any way I can.” Remember it is always difficult for a survivor to share their story. Honor their story by giving them your full time and uninterrupted attention. Remind them of professional services that are trained in assisting sexual assault survivors in the healing process. • “I believe you. It took a lot of courage to share this with me.” For many, it is extremely difficult to share their sexual assault story. They feel ashamed, embarrassed, unworthy and that they will not be believed. Do not ask any “why” questions. Your job is to support

the person as best you can. Keep in mind, every person responds to trauma differently. Your main purpose is to intently listen and believe what they share with you. • “I am sorry this has happened to you.” Honestly acknowledge that this event has greatly impacted their life. Phrases such as: “This must feel very overwhelming” or “This must feel unimaginable,” will help to communicate empathy. CONTINUAL SUPPORT There is absolutely no timetable when it comes to recovering from sexual violence. Remember, if someone trusted and confided in you by disclosing such a personal event, consider ways to show your continued support of their healing process. AVOID JUDGMENT It can be difficult to watch a survivor struggle with the effects of sexual assault for an extended period of time. Avoid phrases that suggest they’re taking too long to heal such as “You just need to move on” or “You’ve been feeling this way too long.” CHECK IN PERIODICALLY The event may have happened some time ago, yet that does not mean their pain is erased. Call, email or text to remind the survivor that you continue to care about their well-being and believe their story. KNOW YOUR RESOURCES You are a survivor advocate, yet that does not mean you’re equipped to manage someone’s physical or mental health. Become familiar with resources you can recommend to a survivor, such as the National Sexual Assault Hotline

at 800.656.HOPE (4673) and y en español at rain.org/es It may be helpful to contact your local sexual assault service provider for advice on medical care and state laws regarding sexual assault. If the survivor seeks medical attention or legal counsel, your presence may be the support they need. If someone you care about is talking of suicide, learn the warning signs and offer help and support. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or 800.272. TALK (8255) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If you or someone you know has been impacted by any sexual violence, it is not your fault. No one deserves to feel alone. Please talk with a trusted friend or loved one. There is always help available to you through the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800.656.HOPE(4673) and y en español at rain.org/es. Whether an advocate for victims or a survivor of sexual assault, seeking professional mental health care is most always necessary. Within central Minnesota, Therapeutic Services Agency, Inc. is a multi-faceted mental health agency that has been providing comprehensive services to our community for over 40 years. TSA has multiple offices offering adult, family and child therapy with mental health professionals trained to understand the complexities of sexual assault. Today, call 1-800-629-7600 and take that first step towards understanding there is professional assistance for you and your loved ones.

Individual actions add up

n my college-dorm-room days, I had developed a very good habit of taking a re-usable bag with me whenever I went shopping. One day my roommate asked me why I even bothered —there were so many plastic bags being used each day that my efforts would never amount to making a difference. People say the same about elections. In a country of millions, and a world of billions, how does a single person matter? Well, if nothing else I believe this years’ Kanabec County Commissioner District 5 election, which was won by a Editor mere two votes, proves a single Kirsten Faurie person’s actions matter on a grander scale than they may think. Not only was the race decided by a small number of votes, one person’s little mistake — putting spoiled ballots in the wrong pile rather than back in an envelope — could have had result-altering effects had the spoiled ballots not been so easily identified by election judges during the recount. One person’s mistake or success can make all the difference. Sometimes we see such big, horrifying news it might make us want to cry or avoid the news altogether: wildfires destroying California, a swirling mass of garbage and plastic in the Pacific Ocean growing to the size of Texas, or children growing up without families of their own. As overwhelming as these things in the news have sometimes made me feel, this election recount actually gave me hope that a single person, including myself, can have big impacts.

One person’s mistake or success can make all the difference.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

This feels... pouty

To the editor, It’s hard to believe adding “incumbent” would have helped uninformed voters make a more informed decision. “Cleaning house” was not an option, as not all the seats were on the ballot. A voter who was not aware of who the incumbents were was certainly not aware of anyone’s position and so is just as likely to vote off the strongest member of the minority as the majority. “Mora school board members” and “incumbent on ballot in Minnesota” are not difficult questions to answer and commentators pretending like they are is my biggest source of mistrust. Are we to believe that the Secretary of State rigged the 332 election? Or is it that ICS implanted volunteers? There are enough real questions to tackle without not-so-honestly demanding explanations which are readily available with an online search. Deven Kelling Mora

President Proclaims a Day for Thanksgiving

ECE announces refunds

Promise of New Day When Justice Shall Replace Force

125 YEARS AGO (1893) Nearly a foot of snow fell here on Tuesday. Fourteen hundred dollars in cash was paid in at the school land sale last Saturday. Landlord Morrison has purNews from chased a new Yesteryear covered Matt Anderson omnibus and will soon inaugurate regular travel between his hotel and the passenger trains. The sale of state lands at this place last Saturday was the largest that has ever been made in this country. Thirty-one forties were sold at prices ranging from five to eight dollars per acre and about all to new settlers. The number of purchasers was about twenty. There was mourning in town Tuesday when the snow came down and ruined the skating. Previous to the storm the skating was excellent. J. F. Stone has invented a new apparatus for heating water for the washroom of his hotel, and also to heat the room where the night clerk sleeps. It is a very neat contrivance and no doubt before long Mr. Stone will be heating his whole house by the same invention. A little accident happened to his boiler one day last week, which caused but slight damage only blowing out a partition. The explosion was caused by there being no safety valve for the steam to escape. Everything is all right now, and there is no more danger. --Pine Co. Pioneer.

100 YEARS AGO (1918) “Special Cause To Be Grateful; President Wilson Calls on All Americans to Give Thanks for Victories of Year; PEACE FOR THE WORLD; November 28 Set Aside in Proclamation as Day for Thanksgiving---Promise of New Day When Justice Shall Replace Force. “Great War Expensive; Cost of Conflict Is Estimated at $200,000,000,000;

Federal Reserve Board Bulletin Bases its Calculations On Available Data:” Washington, Nov. 19.---The Federal Reserve Board Bulletin places the direct cost of the war for all belligerents to last May 1 at about $175,000,000,000 and it is estimated that nearly $200,000,000,000 before the end of this year. “Home Destroyed By Fire:” The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lars Anderson of this village was destroyed by fire last Thursday evening, together with household goods. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson had retired for the night, but were awakened about 10 o’clock, partially choked by smoke and upon arising found the house a mass of flames. They were unable to take anything from the building, escaping in their night apparel. This places the Anderson family in stringent circumstances as there was no insurance on building or contents. The fire is supposed to have started from a defective chimney. 75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Tank Crews Versatile:” Sgt. Clark M. Peterson of Mora is one of sixty-four Minnesota soldiers in an armored unit in England. These tankmen, in their pre-invasion program, are becoming experts in every tank job, not just one. Teamwork with infantry and artillery units is the secret to success by an armored unit, with the tankers delivering the power blow. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “Methodists To Dedicate Church, Burn Mortgage:” Sunday, Nov. 24, will be a most important day in the lives of the members of the Mora Methodist church for on that day they will dedicate the church building and burn the mortgage. Under Methodist policy a church cannot be dedicated until it is paid for. In 1954 the congregation faced the question of whether to remodel the old church or build a new one. The decision, with the encouragement of the Minnesota conference, was made to build.

“Sundstrom’s Hold Open House Today Thru Saturday:” Sundstrom’s Shoe and Clothing store is holding an open house Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 21-23, to celebrate the completion of its new addition. Just finished is a new addition 58 feet long which houses the store’s large shoe department. The new addition is 28 feet by 58 feet. A nine-foot wide portion of the new addition has been made into a storeroom for footwear. The sales area, 19 feet by 58 feet has been carpeted in green. It is paneled in oak and has two long lines of fluorescent lights. 25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Plenty of director applicants expected:” Commissioners anticipate several candidates to apply for the director’s position of the East Central Solid Waste Commission, even though decisions on ECSWC structure still need to be made. Members, at their Nov. 15 meeting, agreed to advertise the director’s position in area newspapers, as well as other publications. “Glad she went; glad to be home; Helen Erickson returns from 11-day trip to Russia:” Helen Erickson, American tourist just arrived in Russia, had been in Red Square only a few hours when it

happened. One moment, she was having difficulty containing her enthusiasm. The next moment, she was having greater difficulty containing her fear. Two Muscovite policemen had interrupted her picture-taking fun and now were motioning her to approach them. At first, Erickson froze. A sense of total blood loss gripped her. Then, somehow, the Knife Lake Township hairdresser willed both lower limbs to carry her forward --- toward the policemen. “I was scared to death,” Erickson said. “I thought, if one of them puts his hand on my shoulder, I’ll just pass out. I was terrified!” As Helen Erickson was to find out last month during her 11-day visit to Moscow and St. Petersburg, things really have changed in the former Soviet Union. The policemen were offering Helen an opportunity to have her picture taken with them.

East Central Energy will return $4 million to members in the form of capital credits refunds. Refunds will be reflected on the December bill. The ECE Board of Directors recently announced the refund, which includes all accumulated capital credits from 1993, a portion of 1994 and a percentage of all other years allocated to members. The refund brings the total returned over time to $78 million. Eligible members will see a bold blue line on their billing statement that says, “Capital Credits Refund,” designating the amount of their refund. The bill will be reduced by this amount. Members participate economically in the success of their cooperative. They help provide the capital that allows ECE to safely deliver reliable electricity. When there is a margin over the cost to operate, a portion is allocated to members, based primarily on their kWh use and cost of basic service. The allocated dollars are put into each member’s capital credits account. The board of directors determines annually if there will be a refund, and if so, what portion of members’ capital credits can be refunded. Most members of ECE for more than one year will receive a capital credits refund on their bill. Members who have moved may receive a capital credits refund check, which will be mailed to the address ECE has on file. Former members should call ECE, 1-800-254-7944, if they believe the co-op does not have their current address. East Central Energy www.eastcentralenergy. com is a member-owned electric cooperative that serves more than 60,000 homes, farms and businesses in east central Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin, provides electricity and high-speed internet and community and business development and environmental services.

We all wait and then God surprises us The ground under my feet is the color of a white linen at a fancy restaurant. The ground is slick. It’s common to look down before plunging a foot into the linen white landscape. It’s a Minnesota adventure. Will we slip and fall in this step or the next before the linen is taken out from us? Will Focus on underneath our cheeks and fingers freeze in the cold and Faith damp? Will our glasses Paul Lutter fog over when we again meet warm air? Will our teeth h chatter as we try to stay warm?

At this point in the season we comfort ourselves by the beauty of the frosted scene before us, how the snow falls gently, how moisture collects and freezes on our cars and sidewalks, how breath comes out of hiding, and our heads, hands and necks are wrapped in yarn. Hockey, curling, skiing and the chance to sit in a deer stand as people hunker down in blaze orange are things some like to do in this season. Winter, whether it comes early or late, is glorious. This is what we tell ourselves and others. And, it’s true. But, to be honest, not everyone thinks this. They would never admit it out loud. They wouldn’t dare. Hidden in their homes or glove boxes is a secret calendar on which they count down the

days until the landscape exhales, and again turns green. Snow melts. Cold weather is shipped elsewhere. Ice is found in the bottom of cups instead of under our feet. The blue cloud of breath turns invisible again. The clothes we wear are less for warmth, and more for fashion – unless we golf. They wait, those who are buried under by the weather. We all wait, for one thing or another. For a long time, my wife and I had waited for the news that we could board a plane, and then another, and then one more so that we could pick up the 3 1/2-year-old daughter from Haiti, to bring her home, to be a part of our family. The promise of her presence was something we recited to one

another each day when we felt nervous, as we wondered if we could ever make the trip, to pack her backpack, to take her to the hotel where we would stay, to take her to appointments we had before we would board planes bound for home, to introduce to family and friends who would await our arrival at the airport, . While there is much we have learned about international adoption, the cardinal rule is this: Adoption is like a rollercoaster. Waiting begets waiting, begets waiting. Our nerves were on edge. Then, from her work, my wife called to say we can go get her. We wait, and God surprises us. PAUL LUTTER is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Mora.

St. Clare Living Community of Mora

Caring For Your Family Like Ours

s a member of the greater Mora community since 1969, St. Clare is deeply appreciative of your ongoing community support. At this Thanksgiving time, we are especially thankful for the first responders, fire department, police and sheriff’s offices who worked diligently to help us following a flood in our east wing. It has been a major inconvenience for our residents and staff but their assistance lessened the stress markedly. This has been a time of major transitions for St. Clare: our administrator of almost 30 years, Jack L’Heureux retired. Then as of January of this year, the Benedictine Health System management agreement ended. Living Services Foundation, who has owned St. Clare Living Community since 2009, took over the management of the community. George Paulson is currently the administrator and will serve until a permanent replacement is found. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization we appreciate your support of our foundation. Your gifts, which are tax deductible, enable us to enhance our residents lives in ways that would otherwise not be possible. Short Stay Rehab: A variety of services based upon your needs; 14 private rooms in a distinct neighborhood; Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapy; goal to return home as soon as possible. St. Clare Care Center: This 51-bed skilled nursing facility is dedicated to providing personal centered care delivered by our nursing staff supported by wellness, therapies, culinary and support staff. The Villages of St. Clare: 35 one- and twobedroom apartments. Full kitchen, bathroom, living room and private patio. Emergency call system with pendants. Goal to maintain independence knowing that assistance is always available. *Eastwood Senior Living: 20 assisted living apartments and 10 secured memory care units. Furnished kitchenette.

Educational support staff honored for putting others ﬁrst

Area educators were honored during the 2018 Educational Support Staff Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 14, River’s Edge Convention Center, St. Cloud. Schools and districts across Resource’s central Minnesota region nominate award recipients based on suggested criteria that includes knowledge of work responsibilities, demonstration of safety, cultivation of respect, acting as a positive role model, displaying genuine concern for others and making a difference in the lives of students, staff and the community. Brent Stromme, entrepreneur, strategist, writer, consultant and speaker opened the event with an address and told the 110 honored educational support staff that they always put others before themselves and were the very foundation of area schools.

RECOUNT: Original election results conﬁrmed: Craig Smith declared winner FROM PAGE 1

Judges sorted through the ballots again, scrutinizing folds and crinkles. They were able to identify the seven ballots they felt were intended as spoiled. Snyder described the markings as “obvious” and was confident in the accuracy of the count. ELECTION ACCURACY As he observed the recount, Kim Smith said he was concerned to see how many people chose to cast ballots but did not vote in the commissioner race. “It’s disappointing,” he said. As the recount concluded and the announcement was made declaring Craig the victor, the two men shook hands. “This is a perfect example to show that every vote does count,” said Craig Smith. He said the recount gave him

confidence in the accuracy of Minnesota elections. “I’m glad it worked out that way because it shows the system is right,” he said. The difference in votes was small enough the race qualified for a publicly-funded recount. A recount of this race is not automatic, but a recount request must be made within seven days of votes being canvassed. Votes were canvassed Tuesday, Nov. 13. Snyder reported that a request for a recount was made before votes were canvassed. The recount took place at 12:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, in basement room three of the Kanabec County Courthouse. The recount was open to the public. Commissioner District 5 encompasses seven townships: Haybrook, Ford, Kroschel, Hillman, Peace, Pomroy and Ann Lake. KIRSTEN FAURIE |TIMES

Contact the Mora City Council and Mayor

How to speak during open forum: Many boards and councils designate time during their meetings called â&#x20AC;&#x153;open forumâ&#x20AC;? where visitors are invited to speak. Visitors often use this time to offer criticisms or suggestions on city issues. Entities differ in how they conduct open forum. Some may ask visitors to ďŹ ll out a slip of paper declaring their intent to speak before the meeting; some may enforce a time limit and some boards will only listen, while others take a more conversational tone and are willing to answer questions brought up during that time. Meeting dates and times: The city council meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Mora City Hall 101 S Lake St, Mora, MN 55051 unless otherwise noted. More information: The city website includes agendas, packets of materials to be reviewed during the meetings and minutes. www.ci.mora.mn.us Elections: The mayor and council members are elected by residents of the city to 4-year terms.

STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dissolution with Pine County as a partner in public health, Kanabec County is searching for a new companion. The Minnesota Department of Health requires an entity to encompass a population of 30,000 people or more to create a community health board. Many counties pair or even triple up with neighbors to meet this requirement. Kanabec and Pine counties had been partners until Dec. 2016 when they separated. Kanabec County Community Health Co-Director Kathy Burski will be meeting with Mille Lacs County health representatives to discuss their similarities, differences, needs and if there is potential for a partnership between the two entities. Mille Lacs County is also in search of a partner to meet state requirements.

November 2018 Mora Public School District Parents & Guardians, The weather in Minnesota can be a challenge in determining decisions on late starts, early releases and school closings. The safety of our children is our biggest concern and is always a top priority when determining how to handle Minnesota snow/cold days. Please remember, as a parent or guardian, you make the final decision as to your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance at school. There are a number of factors considered when determining whether or not to host a school day as normally scheduled or if it needs to be altered. Mora Public Schools does consider these variables in a timely fashion in order to assist students and families in making the best and safest decision. It is understood that you also have to make adjustments in your schedule when there is a two-hour late start, early release or students do not go to school at all. After evaluating the available and projected weather-related information, the following options are in place to determine the decision needing to be made to change the school day: 1. School remains on-time as routes can travel within a reasonable time frame. 2. School will be 2 hours late - no morning Mustang Care. a. Mora Elementary would start at 9:55 a.m. â&#x20AC;˘ All-Day Preschool would start at 10:15 a.m. â&#x20AC;˘ Any Â˝ Day AM Preschool classes are canceled. b. High School would start at 10:05 a.m. c. Bus pick up times will be 2 hours later than usual. 3. School will start 2 hours late and only travel on plowed roads and would keep the schedule for each school above. 4. School has an early dismissal due to weather, there will also be no afternoon Mustang Care. 5. Weather can change throughout the day requiring students to be released early and would depend on the severity of the weather conditions at travel times. 6. School is closed for the day. No morning or afternoon Mustang Care. No evening activities or practice. Mass communication of school closures can be found locally on Channel 4, 5, 9, 11 as well as KBEK, WCMP, WCCO radio, www. moraschools.org and www.facebook.com/MoraPublicSchools. Also, you may receive a message from our parent notification system, School Messenger. This notification system is designed for you to receive these reminders and/or changes in the school day as soon as those decisions are made by the district. This will give you current information as soon as it is available. To ensure effective communication, please make sure your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school has your most up-to-date contact information. Please feel free to contact the bus garage for additional clarification specific to your route if you have any additional questions, 320-679-6255. The phones both at the school offices and bus garage are extremely busy during these periods of time; therefore, if you receive a voicemail, please note these other sources to obtain school closure information.

OMST: Swimmers celebrate season of records, State run FROM PAGE 1

Williams competed in the 100-yard freestyle and backstroke events, placing 10th in the backstroke finals. “A coach at the State meet told me, ‘I talk about your program to our girls, and tell them that they have built this amazing program that is continuing to perform and achieve more. They do this by hard work and dedication.’ Sometimes we don’t see the great things this team has done until others start noticing.” Miller said. “This team’s amazing and supportive parents raised money to provide a fan bus, so the rest of the team could be part of the state meet. I’m thankful for parents and community members who have continued their support for our team.” Miller said that next year’s team will come in with significant varsity experience. “As much as swimming is an individual sport, there is so much team work that has to happen in order for the team to win meets. Our juniors and seniors provide a lot of points, but we also have younger swimmers

who have scored crucial wins. All of this year’s juniors will be great assets to the next season’s leadership. We’ll have a big graduating class, but most of the juniors have been on varsity since they were in seventh grade.” OMST continues to reach out to younger swimmers, said Miller. “We’ll host our annual swim camp in May for fifth and sixth graders, and diving coach Brooke Hastig will hold a diving camp at the same time. This provides younger girls with an opportunity to try out swimming. We’ll also work with Ogilvie Community Education to offer pool time for those looking to swim in the off-season.” “This season was memorable in so many ways. I absolutely love coaching this sport and with this team. Even if they don’t always see it, they’re making ripples in the swimming world. Those that are a part of this program recognize the time and commitment these girls put in. I’m so happy and proud of each swimmer’s contribution to this team.”

Minnesota astrophysicists discover star collision

n November the skies get seriously dark. That makes it all the easier to watch Venus stage a reappearance in the predawn sky. Venus recently fell into the sunset as it began its latest trip between Earth and the sun. Now, having completed that trip, it’s climbing in the morning sky as it swings away from the sun’s foreglow. look for Minnesota theMid-month, queen of planets Starwatch low in the east-southeast an hour to 90 minutes before sunrise. Deane As it climbs it comes Morrison close to Spica, the one bright star in Virgo, the maiden. Virgo is home to the Virgo Cluster, an assemblage of more than a thousand galaxies spread over a wide expanse of sky. Just west of Spica, look for the rela-

tively obscure constellation Corvus, the crow. The crow’s four main stars form a lopsided quadrangle, making Corvus, in a way, a rather comical constellation. Above and east of Venus and Spica shines Arcturus, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere of sky. It anchors the kite-shaped constellation Bootes, the herdsman. The Leonid meteor shower peaks on

the mornings of the Nov. 17 and 18. It probably won’t be spectacular, but if skies are dark and you can manage to be out well past midnight, you may see 10 to 15 meteors an hour. In the evening, Mars still dominates the southern sky. A first quarter moon visits the red planet on the 15th, then hurries eastward to join the winter constellations as they begin their annual return. November’s full beaver moon rises the evening of the Nov. 22— Thanksgiving. The next night, it rises close to Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, the bull. It then travels the night sky with Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluster, which outlines the face of Taurus. In astronomy news, University of Minnesota astrophysicists were part of an international team that solved a centuries-old mystery. In 1670, a star suddenly flared up in the middle of the Summer Triangle of bright stars, which is now up in the southwest after nightfall. The star faded away, though,

and nobody knew what it was. As it turned out, the spectacle was the collision of a white dwarf star and a brown dwarf star. A white dwarf is what the sun will become at the end of its life: a small, dense star with powerful gravity. A brown dwarf is what astronomers call a failed star. Brown dwarfs have between 10 and 80 times the mass of Jupiter, but not enough to ignite the thermonuclear fusion that makes stars shine. The two stars once orbited each other, but they got too close, then merged and spewed out debris—mostly the shredded remains of the brown dwarf. The team is the first to detect a collision between these two types of stars. DEANE MORRISON is a writer and editor with the University of Minnesota Office of University Relations. Minnesota Starwatch is a service of the Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics, located in the Tate Laboratory of Physics and Astronomy.

*IMPORTANT PROPERTY TAX HOMESTEAD NOTICE* *THIS WILL AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAX YOU PAY IN 2019, AND IT MAY AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR A PROPERTY TAX REFUND. Have you purchased or moved into a property in the past year? Contact your county assessor to file a homestead application if you or a qualifying relative occupy the property as a homestead on or before December 1, 2018. Applications may also be found online at: http://www.kanabeccounty.org/departments/applications/index.php What is a qualifying relative? For agricultural property, a qualifying relative includes the child, grandchild, sibling, or parent of the owner or owner’s spouse. For residential property a qualifying relative also includes the owner’s uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece. When do I apply? You must apply on or before December 15, 2018. Once homestead is granted, annual applications are not necessary unless they are requested by the county assessor. You are required to notify the county assessor within 30 days if you sell, move, or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classification. Failure to notify the county assessor within this 30 day period is punishable by recalculation of tax as non-homestead, in addition to a penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead benefits.
