Group fractures over high school repair BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM
A group meant to collaborate and create unity has instead fractured over the issue of repair and renovation priorities at the Mora High School. Participants have described what has transpired as “embarrassing” and “a joke.” The Mora Public School’s Community Task Force was formed with the intention of prioritizing which projects the district should invest money
in. These projects address areas of handicap accessibility, school security, hazardous material removal, mechanical systems, temperature controls, technology upgrades and educational adequacy issues like changes to auto shop, agriculture and music rooms. The task force was formed in December 2017, with hopes to present a recommendation to the Mora School Board by August. High School Principal Brent Nelson headed the project. He said he selected
community members he felt represented a variety of lifestyles on both sides of the debate. ICS Consulting moderates their meetings. Now October and after five meetings, the task force has not finalized a recommendation to the board. The process took an unexpected turn as an anonymous faction of the task force presented its own recommendation without the knowledge of the full group. Task force member Robert
‘... it’s completely ridiculous. It makes me want to say I’m done with this.’
tative of the “Majority Task Force,” Engberg presented a letter and a plan created by what he said were 11 members of the task force. Their plan included four priority items which they estimated should cost approximately $2.53 million. The plan also claimed the school already had sufficient funds to cover those costs without borrowing additional money. The plan was signed “Majority Task Force

Horse trainer Larry Surrett (standing on far right) watches as one of his students directs her horse to push a handmade cart. This exercise is often used to train police horses to be comfortable in crowd control situations, but Surrett said it is mostly about the horse learning to obey.
Trainer puts the cart before the horse BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM
Larry Surrett calls it an “odaabaan” (the Ojibwe word for a wagon) and said it’s pretty much the only time it is OK to put the cart before the horse. At the Minnesota Horse Training Academy in Ogilvie, Surrett uses his handmade odaabaan, a contraption with 55-gallon barrels for wheels,
to train horses to push through. He said the exercise can be paired with smoke bombs, pre-recorded sounds of sirens to prepare police horses to be comfortable in crowd-control situations. During his career, Surrett has trained police horses and riders all across the country and the world, including in Barbados. “Most people get hurt by scared horses, not mean hors-
es,” explained Surrett. Much of his training is to overload the horse’s senses while teaching them to remain calm. However, Surrett said the most important lessons to be learned of this or any exercise is for the horse to obey its rider and for riders to understand the horse. “The school is about teaching you to train a horse to do anything physically possible,” he said. Surrett also
has significant experience in training trick horses — even teaching his stallion to lasso itself. But the school is just as much about training people as it is horses. “Every time I don’t work with the owners they wreck the horse anyhow, so I learned very young you have to train the horse and train the owner — otherwise they will ruin

Innocence presumed amid sexual harassment accusations
O
ver the past several months, there have been serious allegations of sexual harassment and criminal sexual conduct against many celebrities and politicians. The question is sometimes asked, “should these alleged It’s In Your perpetrator’s have to prove Court their innocence?� Judge Among the fundamental Stephen Halsey rights we all have as U.S. citizens is the presumption of innocence. Whether a citizen gets a speeding ticket, is charged with DWI or is indicted for murder, the presumption of innocence remains throughout the entire court process, including any appeals, if the citizen is convicted by a judge or jury. Unlike the right to counsel or reasonable bail, the presumption of innocence is not in the U.S. or Minnesota Constitutions. It is a part of the common law which American jurisprudence has followed from the British tradition. Oft-quoted is British jurist and law commentator Sir William Blackstone who put it this way back in 1765: “It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.� The U.S. Supreme Court in 1895 traced the roots of the pre-
sumption of innocence to Deuteronomy in the Old Testament and to Roman law. It is unquestioned that this presumption in favor of the defendant has been a principle of Western common law for hundreds of years. A few years ago, during jury selection in a felony trial I asked the prospective jury panel of 22 citizens whether they felt that because the defendant was seated in court on trial he must be guilty of something. Surprisingly, four jurors raised their hands and said they felt that way. They were all excused from the jury for having this preconceived notion and unwillingness to recognize the defendant’s presumption of innocence. Given the media attention that often surrounds serious crimes, it is not surprising that the presumption of innocence may be questioned. However, 362 wrongfully convicted offenders have been released (some after many years in prison) as a result of DNA testing that exonerated them. Oct. 2 was International Wrongful Conviction Day. The Innocence Project (www.innocenceproject.org) reports the following statistics: The common theme that runs through these cases, from global problems like poverty and racial issues to criminal justice issues like eye witness misidentification, invalid or improper forensic science, overzealous police and prosecutors and inept defense counsel, cannot be ignored and continue to plague our criminal justice system.

- 20 people had been sentenced to death before DNA proved their innocence and led to their release. - The average sentence served by DNA exonerees has been 14 years. - About 72 percent of those exonerated by DNA testing are people of color. - Of 362 DNA exonerations, 158 actual assailants have been identified. In Minnesota in 2001, a man convicted of rape in 1985 was exonerated by DNA testing after the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office began a systematic review of pre-1995 convictions to determine if DNA testing would have affected the outcome. The Innocence Project states: Those exonerated by DNA testing are not the only people who have been wrongfully convicted in recent decades. For every case that involves DNA, there are thousands that do not. Only a fraction of criminal cases involve biological evidence that can be subjected to DNA testing, and even when such evidence exists, it is often lost or destroyed after a conviction. Since they don’t have access to a definitive test like DNA, many wrongfully convicted people have a slim chance of ever proving their innocence. Why the presumption of innocence? Consider if you were charged with a serious crime that occurred in a place and at a time that you could not have possibly been present. If your only alibi is that you were home by yourself, with no one to
vouch for your presence there, how could you possibly prove your innocence if you had to? You would have great difficulty proving that you were not at the crime scene and did not commit the crime. Question: What does a defendant have to prove in a criminal case? Answer: Absolutely nothing. The prosecution has the burden of proving a criminal defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution cannot argue that the jury must “decide which story to believe,� because the defendant does not have to convince the jury of any story. The defendant has a constitutional right to remain silent, cannot be compelled to testify, and the prosecutor cannot comment to the jury about the defendant’s failure to testify. Prosecutors are prohibited from attacking the presumption of innocence. Prosecutors, for example, cannot argue to the jury that the presumption of innocence is only for the truly innocent and is not a shield for the guilty. All of these rules are necessary to insure that a person’s presumption is fully protected. The presumption of innocence is one of the fundamental rights which we all enjoy as members of a democratic society governed by law. It is a fundamental right that you have which must be protected. Remember: It’s in your court. JUDGE STEVE HALSEY, Wright County District Court, is chambered in Buffalo.

Task force: same old story
I
wish I could say what has occurred with the Mora Public School’s Community Task Force was unexpected or shocking, but this is just more of the same old, same old. The task force was formed of community members and school staff in December 2017 to prioritize repair and renovation projects at the Mora High School. At least that was the premise. It caught many off guard when an anonymous subgroup emerged, calling itself the Editor “Majority Task Force.” On Sept. Kirsten Faurie 27, this faction made a surprise presentation of its own repair l ith t consulting the rest of the task plan, without force. At that moment, it became clear the task force ceased to function and nearly a year’s worth of work had been wasted. That’s a shame. A lot of well-meaning people have put hours and hours of work into this project. The anonymous subgroup’s action has left the task force in ashes. What was an attempt to build trust has instead driven the wedge deeper. The community has become so divided and so averse to compromise that even a group of 22 people can’t come together. This should not be surprising. Organizers selected community members on the extremes of the school-building spectrum to serve on the task force. It’s commendable the school board has such faith in local citizenry to believe these opposing sides could come together. In hind-sight, it looks a bit naive. A cynical person, on the other hand, might say that after six years of the school board arguing repair isn’t financially responsible, unity on a repair plan wasn’t the real intention. No matter, we are still not making progress. We are still dealing with the same old, same old. Same old arguments. Same old problems. Same old distrust. Same old school. How do we possibly move forward? How can we build trust again to solve this problem? I don’t know if we can. So many feelings have been hurt and so much anger has built up, my only suggestion is to put all those emotions from the past behind us and to move forward using logic as a guide. Recognize this task force as a failure and continue on with something different. KIRSTEN FAURIE is the editor of the Kanabec County Times.

To the editor, As someone who served with Jeff Johnson in the Minnesota House of Representatives, I can attest that Jeff Johnson is a person of character who we can trust to be our next governor. He is the same person now as he was when I first met him. Jeff Johnson does not change his position on issues just because he may be running for a different office. His opponent, Tim Walz, only a couple years ago was “proud” to have the NRA endorsement when he represented a mostly-rural southern Minnesota. But he was very willing to compromise our 2nd Amendment rights when he needed the support of the democrat activists in a statewide race. Walz has spent the last 12 years in the D.C. swamp along with Democrat Keith Ellison forcing “Obamacare” on the entire country and on Minnesota. He will continue down the SEE LETTERS, PAGE 5

Jeff Johnson, on the other hand, knows that Minnesotans want and need affordable health care choices. He did not pretend to be someone he is not to earn his party’s endorsement or to win a primary election against a very strong, well-known opponent.

ver $21 million dollars. That is the amount of money consumers reported as lost to tech-support scams in the first nine months of 2017. In one variation of this scam, computer users receive a pop-up message on their screens telling them their computer has been hacked or infected with a virus and directing them to call a tollfree number for assistance. In another variation, receive phone calls Your Legal people from scammers who say that their computer has a Rights serious problem and offer Lori Swanson to help them fix it. Either way, your computer is not really at risk, and the person on the other end is a scammer waiting to trick you into paying for computer support services you don’t need, empty your bank account, or even steal your identity. HOW THE SCHEME WORKS Scammers make unsolicited phone calls or place misleading pop-up internet advertisements to try to convince unsuspecting computer users that something is seriously wrong with their computers that must be fixed immediately. Scammers often pose as representatives of reputable, well-known computer or software companies. Once a scammer has a person on the phone, the scammer often asks to remotely access the person’s computer. Once inside, the scammer can download malware,
steal passwords, or try to sell unnecessary services or products—including products that are available elsewhere for free—for non-existent problems. Scammers often try to trick people into paying for services they don’t need by opening a program on their computer that logs various activities, like error and warning messages. The scammers use these messages, which are usually harmless notations that occur when a computer is functioning normally, to convince people that something is seriously wrong with their computer. TIPS TO AVOID COMPUTER SCAMS • If someone calls you offering technical computer support or claiming your computer has been infected with a virus or hacked, hang up. • If you receive a pop-up message directing you to call a telephone number for assistance with your computer, take a picture of your entire screen, including, if possible, the universal resource locator (URL) of the web page, and include it in any reports you make to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office or other law enforcement agencies. Then press the “control” and “F4” keys to get rid of the pop-up. Do not click on the “x” in the upper right-hand corner of the window. If the pop-up remains after doing this, restart your computer. • Be wary if a person asks for payment in an unusual form, such as through gift cards, wire transfers or a check to be picked up by a courier.
• If your device has been infected by a computer virus or does not work, take it to a reputable local company to fix it. • Make sure your computer has upto-date antivirus, anti-malware and anti-spyware software. WHAT TO DO IF YOU’VE BEEN SCAMMED • If an unknown person remotely accessed your computer, disconnect your computer from the internet immediately, turn it off, and take it to a reputable computer technician for inspection. • If you provided a credit card or bank account information to the scammer, contact your financial institution right away to notify it of the incident and dispute any inappropriate charges. • If your personal information was compromised, consider taking steps to protect yourself from identity theft—such as placing a fraud alert on your credit report, freezing your credit report, and monitoring your credit report and financial accounts for unauthorized activity. If you have been contacted by a computer scammer, you may report the matter to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office as follows: Office of Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson 445 Minnesota Street, Suite 1400 St. Paul, MN 55101 (651) 296-3353 (Twin Cities Calling Area) (800) 657-3787 (Outside the Twin Cities) TTY: (651) 297-7206 or (800) 366-4812 www.ag.state.mn.us

t was French day at the cafe. French toast and fries. We talked of the weather. Dangerous storms had wreaked havoc in the area. The rains had been stump floaters in the company of tornadoes and high winds. Photos of damage to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Easton found their way quickly to us. The steeple had been Al’s World toppled by high winds and crashed onto the Al Batt roof on its way down.

I sat next to a friend at a wedding there when he’d told me he wanted his funeral held there. I reminded him that he was Lutheran. He said he knew that before adding, “But just look at that beautiful woodwork.” We expressed proper melancholy and then one of us provided comfort in the traditional way of my people, “Well, I suppose it could have been worse.” WEARING A SHIRT POCKET SMILE I was having a great day. I wore a shirt with a pocket on it. That’s a good thing in itself, but to make it even better, I was wearing that shirt to a church basement potluck. It was put on by
folks who took bringing a dish to pass seriously. That caused me to grin like a goat eating thistles. A grin refers to a facial expression that reflects a beaming smile. When someone smiles in an unrestrained manner with mouth open and teeth visible, that’s grinning. A smirk is half a smile and a giggle is a partial laugh. A smirk is a facial expression that conveys smugness and scorn. It isn’t an innocent smile or the grin of a fool; it’s a sneer expressing scorn or derision. A smirk is a way to mock or taunt a person or situation. There were no smirks at the potluck. In 1998, a study tasked participants to either hold a pen between their teeth
- causing them to grin, or hold a pen between their lips —inducing a frown. Participants were then shown cartoons and asked to rate how funny they were. The study found those who were grinning were more likely to giggle at the cartoons. Scientists at the University of Kansas conducted a study in which they assessed the impact of smiling on one’s physical and mental state, coming to the conclusion that making yourself smile can help lower heart rate during stressful activities. There are those who disagree, but why not smile instead? If you want to make yourself smile, put on a shirt with a pocket on it and attend a church basement potluck.

FACTION: ‘It was embarrassing’; group created to unify divides FROM PAGE 1
Committee Members.” Individual names were not disclosed. Task force member Patty Ennis was present at the school board meeting and explained she was unaware of this plan and Engberg’s recommendation did not represent the task force. “I’m sad they derailed the system,” she said.
BEER JOKES The task force had its sixth meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 10. There, members shouted and pointed fingers; some walked out. The meeting began quietly enough. Moderators from ICS Consulting talked about estimates, soft costs, the project bidding process and results of surveys the task force members took. At approximately 15 minutes into the 2-hour long meeting, task force member John Roemhild began to laugh, then said, “You guys are a joke. I’ve got beer to drink” as he rose up and left. Roemhild is currently campaigning for a seat on the Mora School Board.
‘HOW DARE YOU’ As the meeting progressed, members brought up the issue of the “Majority Task Force” recommendation to the school board.
‘I thought the purpose of this task force was to help bring this community together...’ Patty Ennis Member Gerald McCabe admitted to being one of the creators, explaining he and others met separately to make their own plan. Other members took turns expressing their concerns that they were excluded from that decision. “Why were we not asked if we were behind that recommendation?” asked science teacher Daryl Lindstrom. “When there is a community task force I don’t see how there can be a sub-committee recommending something when I am on the task force and I have heard nothing of it. I don’t know if I agree with it or not because I haven’t seen it.” Ennis also questioned why the entire group wasn’t included. “I thought the purpose of this task force was to help bring this community together. On the very first meeting we had, we set guidelines as to how this was going to function and what we were going to present together to the school board.
When that task force recommendation was given to the school board ... that was a slap in the face to the rest of us who have come to every single one of these meetings. How dare you guys do that? We had no idea. It was embarrassing,” she said. McCabe defended that those who made the recommendation decided to speak for themselves. When pressed to identify individual names, of those who were present at the meeting, four claimed to be part of that group: Gerald McCabe, Jim Evenson, Ken Stumpf and Dan Cook. McCabe argued that he didn’t feel the estimated costs were accurate, nor that a designer or architect would be needed for many of the projects. ICS consultants Arif Quaraish and Bob Prell explained a designer is required to create specs for plans going out for public bid. McCabe continued to disagree. Mike Rue, expressed his own frustration. “At the end of the day, these are the conversations we need to have,” he said. “... Disagreement is a good thing. It helps us get to where we need to be: informed consensus. But to just shortcut the whole process and go to the school board and say this is what we’ve all decided on
— it’s completely ridiculous. It makes me want to say I’m done with this.”
this thing is going, the more polarized we are getting in this community.”
DECISIONS Amid the bickering, Quaraish attempted to re-focus the group on the task at hand, encouraging them to think on a macro level rather than dwelling on details. “The intent is ... this high school will exist here for the foreseeable future, which means you have to make a decision on what you need to do with the infrastructure that needs to be upgraded and what you need to do with educational adequacy.” Quaraish said the numbers matter less at this point because the exact amount will be developed as projects are bid.
NEXT STEPS The group agreed to continue with its process of discussing priorities and will meet more before preparing a final plan to present to the school board.
PRIORITIES McCabe, Stumpf and Cook left the meeting as other members stayed and continued to discuss repair priorities. Darlene Milless, who is also running for a seat on the Mora School Board, asked the teachers in the room for their priorities. Milless debated prioritizing infrastructure versus remaking educational spaces to suit modern educational needs. Jim Evanson, said he also wished the group could build consensus, but, “the more

ELECTION: Local candidate forums ahead FROM PAGE 1
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Information that seems suspect on the surface may turn out to be much more if you’re willing to dig a little deeper, Aries. Do not discount anything right away. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if faced with a few different scenarios, do not immediately pick the path of least resistance. Sometimes the best reward is earned with some sweat equity. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, when social engagements seem to be slim pickings, you may have to broaden your social circle just a bit. Try putting a toe into new waters for a change of scenery. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, put your money where your mouth is regarding an important issue this week. You must lead by example, and you’re fully capable of doing so. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Don’t let a minor setback derail all of the plans you have been working on for so long, Leo. This can be easily remedied with the right people offering their support. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you do not need an engraved invitation to attend an event that could put you in a position of power and influence. Walk into the party with flair and confidence.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 When someone seeks your advice you are always willing to give it, Libra. Just do not freely offer unsolicited advice all the time or friends could view it as lecturing. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Disagreements can cause emotions to run hot, Scorpio. It is best if you find a cool-down measure so that problems do not escalate - especially this week. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/ Dec 21 Take a break this week and reconnect with some of the fun activities that you used to do to amuse yourself, Sagittarius. Think like a kid and go to a zoo, aquarium or park. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re on the cusp of mastering a skill you have been honing for awhile. Use an opportunity this week to celebrate your hard-earned success. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Utilize all of the special skills you have at your disposal, Aquarius.

Many Moraites answer call to aid Moose Lake fire sufferers
125 YEARS AGO (1893) Rev. J. Thompson, the new minister will preach next Sunday morning and evening at the church. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our farmer friends to the weekly market reports in the TIMES. As potatoes are the “mainstay” this year we are glad to note the several reliable buyers News from here are paying full prices and keeping Yesteryear right up to the market and sometimes a little Matt Anderson ahead of it. W. F. Hillman was d ffrom the h Knife river settlement down last Thursday. Henry Rines, returned from the Big Fair yesterday. J. C. Pope attended a criminal trial before Justice Stone in the town of Comfort on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. E. Sawyer, of Stillwater were the guests of Mrs. P. R. Gray this week.

The hospital has been newly erected by Dr. N. M. Cook of that village and we trust that he will meet with the patronage that he deserves.
S. D. Seavey, of West Superior, spent Sunday here with relatives and friends. He is traveling around the state now buying produce for his firm. He says there has been a business revival at Superior and that all of the shops and factories are running except the steel plant. 100 YEARS AGO (1918) “Moraites Aid Fire Sufferers:” Many citizens of Mora and the surrounding county left for the scene of the terrible forest fires in the vicinity of Moose Lake last Sunday and Monday in response to calls for help from people in that locality. Many assisted in carrying out the dead and securing and preparing food and shelter for the unfortunate ones who had lost their homes. It is impossible to give the names of all who went at the call. Local fires are raging in adjoining counties at the present time and many are fighting fire in the northern part of this county, at the present time no lives have been lost in this county, although many tons of hay have been destroyed and many homes are in danger unless rains come in the near future. “Loses In Fight With Influenza; L. F. Skoglund Passes to That Undiscovered Country From Whose Bourn No Traveler Returns:” Again have the people of this community been sorrow-stricken by the news of the death of one of the prominent young men of the county. Again have we been called upon to chronicle the death of one who was in the service of his country. On Monday of this week the news was received that Lyndon F. Skoglund had passed away at a few minutes past midnight at the Base Hospital at Fort Snelling, after an illness of about two weeks with Influenza, the direct cause of death being bronchial pneumonia. Although ill for some time, hopes were entertained for his recovery and his death came as a shock to the entire community. 75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Village Council Makes Selection of Hospital Site; Four Members Vote in Favor of Ground East of German Lutheran Church:” The village council met in special session last Thursday evening and selected a two acre tract directly east of the Zion (German) Lutheran church as a site for the new county hospital.

connections. The village has agreed to provide a suitable site for the hospital. Last Monday Mr. Bronell, a representative of the state board of health, and Theo. J. Shefchick of Duluth, county architect, arrived in Mora and viewed several sites that had been under discussion in recent weeks and over which there has been considerable controversy in the village. The two recommended three sites as suitable, with the church site selected by the council as first choice, the fair grounds site second choice. They will file a formal report with the county board and the council. “Milaca Eleven Defeats Mora 6-0:” The Milaca Indians defeated the Mora Blue Devils 6-0 on the local field October 13 in a well played game from start to finish. Milaca scored their touchdown early in the second quarter, and from then on made a dogged stand against the goalward intent of the Mora men. Mora’s greatest threat came late in the fourth quarter when, on a series of line plays and passes, Mora found themselves within Milaca’s ten yard line. A Mora pass was intercepted by Milaca to end the scoring threat and the game. The first quarter was well played by both teams. Many gains were made by Mora on end runs but Milaca ran their plays through the Blue Devil line and made just as much ground. Milaca used a cutback to good advantage and in behind heavy interference, they ran the ball over the goal for their score in the second quarter. The second half was entirely different, as Mora marched down the field on a series of end runs and reverses, but Milaca’s defense held the Mora men from the goal and staved off the tying score. The Blue Devils defensive game was a remarkable recovery from first half playing and slowed the Indians to a standstill. 50 YEARS AGO (1968) “Airplane Crash Claims Life of Carl Benson:” An airplane crash claimed the life of Carl Benson, 38, of Minneapolis, about 10:15 a.m. Thursday morning, Oct. 10. Mr. Benson was flying a 1946 Taylorcraft airplane over the Howard Taylor farm nine miles northwest of Ogilvie. According to witnesses, the airplane came straight down from a low altitude. The FAA is investigating the scene of the crash to learn the possible cause of the accident. Carl G. Benson, son of Selma and Carl Benson, was born Jan. 3, 1930, at Mora. The family moved to Mudgett township where he attended public school and he
graduated from Ogilvie High. “GOP Headquarters In Mora Is Open:” Milan DeWitt, Kanabec county GOP chairman, invites the public to stop in at the Republican headquarters located in the old bakery building next to the Standard Oil station and pick up literature, bumper stickers, buttons, etc. The headquarters will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and also on Friday evening until 9 p.m. “Stop in, have a cup of coffee, and pick up your campaign literature” invites Mrs. Gary Gunderson, chairwoman.
25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Candidates for Mora council field questions:” Candidates for Mora council field questions:” Seven of the eight candidates seeking seats on the Mora City Council tackled questions - which ranged from business development, taxes and city services to council-community communications and forecasting the future -- during a political forum held Oct. 12 at the Kanabec History Center. The event, sponsored by the Mora Area Chamber of Commerce, and moderated by Kanabec State Bank’s president, Doyle VanDyne, drew an audience of about 35 people. Candidates fielded questions that emanated spontaneously from the audience, as well as three prepared in advanced by the Chamber of Commerce. Every candidate exhibited a strong interest in Mora city government and an eagerness to serve the Mora community. It was generally agreed that support of business and industry is a top priority. “500,000 to 600,000 tires to go! :” Two million. That’s the estimated number of tires which had accumulated in fields on the Gordon Gotfredson farm by 1985. That’s also the year Minnesota outlawed tire dumps. “This was possibly the largest tire dump site in the entire state,” said Chuck Williams, state Pollution Control Agency commissioner. THE NEWS From Yesteryear is compiled by Matt Anderson from the Times historical editions housed by the Kanabec History Center. The “News from Yesteryear” contains articles published in historic issues of the Times. The articles may contain language with ethnic and racial prejudices that were once common but are no longer acceptable in today’s society.

#MeToo reminds us to take responsibility, seek forgiveness for wrongdoing
O
ne of the difficult things we have been confronting the last few years have been public accusations against powerful men accused of crossing boundaries of sexual propriety. I want us to reflect on this disturbing phenomenon for the lessons it teaches that are central to the theme of Yom Kippur. The prinFocus on ciples of repentance, forgiveness and atoneFaith ment can guides us whether applied Harold Kravitz here, on the grand scale of #MeToo, or to less dramatic, but still important instances of how we relate to each other. As the #MeToo cases pile up, we
now see this important question of rehabilitation being widely discussed with broad ramifications. Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg provided valuable guidance in the Washington Post on Sept 6. Rabbi Ruttenberg expresses concern that many of the men involved in #MeToo accusation seem to be seeking easy forgiveness. Men whose careers seemed ruined are now angling for comebacks, letting their supporters know that they will soon be back to the stage, or screen or pursuing new opportunities. She asks the right questions: Are these men sorry? Should they be forgiven? Who has the right to forgive them? Judaism has deep wisdom about repentance and repair for wrongs done. The concepts are captured in three Jewish concepts related to forgiveness: Selichah, Mechilah and Kapparah.
There they refer to God’s action, but we know from the famous Mishneh from Yoma 8:9 (Machzor Lev Shalem, p. 40), before we can hope for atonement from God for actions against another person we must first reconcile with the person we harmed. Selichah, seeking forgiveness, is the first step which must be taken if someone has committed a sin, whether it be against God or against a person. To ask for forgiveness is to say to the injured party, “I am sorry for what I did, I sincerely regret having done it and I will never do it again.” Mechilah, which literally means “wiping away” is the response to the request, “Can we put our relationship back on the level on which it was before I sinned against you?” It is a response reserved for the person against whom the offense has been committed.
Kapparah, is usually translated as “atonement.” Only God can provide kapparah atonement to someone who has committed an offense and that is understood by our tradition to be accomplished on Yom Kippur. These categories of forgiveness that are at the heart of the work all of us need to do at this season are enlightening in the #MeToo cases. The concepts in thinking about teshuva and forgiveness are valuable not just for judging public scandals, but for how each of us can do the work of repairing the hurts we have caused. May each of us take responsibility for our wrongdoing, seek forgiveness sincerely and merit receiving forgiveness. RABBI HAROLD Kravitz was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has served the Adath Jeshurun Congregation, in Minnetonka, since 1987.

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS October 16, 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 waterfowl hunters and smallgame hunters. He also checked several pheasant hunters. Most hunters had a mixed bag of grouse, pheasants and woodcock.
Cambridge: Conservation Officer Angela Londgren worked the pheasant opener and reports seeing very few birds harvested. Complaints were investigated on trespassing, baiting, leaving out decoys and shooting after hours. Enforcement action was taken for watercraft registration, license violations and operating a motor vehicle within a WMA.
Hinckley: Conservation Officer Bret Grundmeier reports an increase in duck-hunting activity. Large numbers of geese came through the area throughout the week and hunters also saw good numbers of mallards and teal. There was more bear-hunting activity than usual with hunters trying to ďŹ ll bear tags on the ďŹ nal weekend of the season. Citations and warnings were issued for transporting loaded ďŹ rearms, baiting bears with illegal material and ATV operating violations.

Candy rolls made for military care packages Royal Neighbors Grasston Chapter 5146 and Sugar and Spice Homemakers worked together to make 102 candy rolls. Each roll was ďŹ lled with a variety of hard candies, gum and drink mix packets. The rolls will be included in the boxes sent overseas to service men and women by the Blue Star Moms.

Just a few of the many things I stand for:
Nov. 6
th Student and sta security should be top priority. Obvious changes should be made now. We can send our military to go and protect students in a foreign country, but we seem to forget our own student and staff safety in this country. I have seen cost effective changes made at other schools I have worked on, making them happen at Mora Schools should be no different. Teachers should take back their classrooms. Teachers need to be allowed to teach and be in full control of their classrooms. They should not be afraid of being sued, reprimanded or being put on report for doing their job. A comprehensive high school repair and maintenance plan should be implemented. The people have voted many times against a new high school. Now we need to spend money to make professional repairs to the existing high school. My years of experience in building and remodeling schools will help get the needed cost-effective repairs done in a timely fashion. The school has millions of dollars on-hand in the construction and maintenance budgets. It’s time to use that money before we ask the tax payers for more.

Shop classes should be expanded – not shut down. It’s great that many Mora students go off to college every year to pursue their dream job. But I want to expand our thinking of getting every student career-ready for those that are not college bound. Let’s face it, not every student is going to college or wants to take part in the 1.4 trillion dollars we currently have in student loan debt in this country. For years we have had industry screaming for labor, both men and women. So let’s give our students a taste of what else is out there that they can make a good living at: jobs that just require a diploma, on-the-job training and a good work ethic. Jobs like carpentry, laborers, concrete, plumbing, heating, electrical, machinists, auto techs, heavy equipment operators, truck drivers and many other professions that pay extremely well with low or no expenses for training. I would love to take groups of students down to the carpenter union’s training facility that I went to, or any other trades facility to show them what is out there.

Mortenson also snowbirds in Florida, where he has captured images of cougars. Mortenson said that before 2010 wolf sightings were infrequent and rare. The wolves moved in to stay in 2010 and he has watched them on cameras raise several litters of pups since then. Rarely does he see them in person, but his cameras are always ready for when they show up.

Hunters needed for offal monitoring
FIN, FUR, FEATHER Send your photos for possible inclusion in the Fin, Fur, Feather to editor@moraminn.com. Please include information about when and where the photo was taken and who is in the photo.
CONTRIBUTED UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
This is an invitation to deer hunters, or those that participate in deer camps, or know hunters and have access to deer gut piles immediately after the deer is harvested and field dressed to participate in “Offal Wildlife Watching.” The purpose of this research is to better understand what and when species use deer gut piles provided by hunters across Minnesota. Researchers are looking for hunters with their own game camera to set the camera on their gut pile and leave it to record pictures of when and what animals come in to use the gut pile for one month. Hunters are uniquely positioned to record everything that comes in to feed on that gut pile by setting a camera immediately after field dressing a deer in order. This project is being conducted by PhD student Ellen Candler and Dr. Joseph Bump from the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology in the College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences at the University of Minnesota. They are partnering with the Minnesota Master Naturalist. For more information, contact Ellen Candler at 208-680-6023 or email at belle130@umn.edu.
