FirstLight completes first phase of $62 million expansion project CONTRIBUTED

FirstLight Health System celebrated the opening of the first phase of its $62 million expansion project with an open house July 23. Nearly 300 community members were in attendance to tour the progress of the project that broke ground in July 2017.

The new addition on the southwest side features: a rehabilitation area, inpatient rooms and birthing suites, a dedicated care team and social work area, public dining and an inpatient pharmacy. When complete, the full project will accommodate higher patient volumes while integrating advanced technology and security capabilities.

Rehabilitation services which had previously been divided among the clinic, hospital and in the smaller rehab area have been consolidated into one comprehensive space. The department added pediatric occupational therapy and aquatic therapy to its list of offerings.

FirstLight is one of the largest providers of comprehensive rehabilitation services in east central Minnesota, attracting patients from as far north as Duluth and as far west as St. Cloud.

Also new is the public dining and commons space open to the community for its visitors and community members to gather. The dining room is open daily from 7:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and offers a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, a fully stocked salad bar, a panini bar, pizza and healthy snacks.

The commons area will be expanded once the current emergency department moves to its new space later this year.

Connecting level one to level two is a large open staircase offset with stone wall. Six new meeting rooms were added SEE EXPANSION, PAGE 6

Ogilvie Water Tower marks 100-year anniversary

BY MATT ANDERSON NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Ogilvie Water Tower. The city will celebrate on Aug. 4-5 with their annual Back to the Tower events (see pages 12-13 for full schedule).

Big week for big events

The tower was built during World War I out of concrete because of a shortage of metal during to the war years. The Ogilvie Tower is one of only a few concrete water towers in the state of Minnesota; another can be found in Brainard.

In 1980 the Ogilvie tower was named to the National Register of Historic Places.

This September 1980 article in the Kanabec County Times detailed the event: Ogilvie tower named to national register The Ogilvie Water tower has been named to the National Register of Historic sites. It is constructed entirely of reinforced poured-in-place concrete. The tower’s 24’2” high 50,000-gallon concrete tank is mounted on an 80’ cylindrical stand.

Both the tank and its supporting column measure 21’6 in diameter, with nine inch thick walls. The tank is topped by a two foot crenelated parapet, giving the appearance of a medieval round tower. The village has recently restored and painted the tower.

The water tower, constructed in 1918 by the

NEWS 320-679-2661 editor@moraminn.com

ADVERTISING 320-679-2661 advertising@moraminn.com

Circular Concrete Company of Minneapolis, is significant as one of the first reinforced concrete water towers erected in Minnesota. With its simple lines and crenelated parapet, the tower presents a dramatic contrast to the metal tank towers erected by most other communities during this period.

The tower’s construction accompanied installation of an improved village water system which provided the impetus for organization of the Ogilvie Volunteer Fire Department.

Because many of the early concrete tanks had a tendency to leak at the junction of the tank and tower, many others of this type have been razed.

The tank is significant, not only as one of the earliest examples but also as one of the few surviving examples of this method of construction.

On April 25, 1988, Fred Alhgren was interviewed and recorded by Matt Bushnell, where Fred shared the following knowledge about the Tower: SEE TOWER, PAGE 7

Seventeen banners from the District’s six regions portrayed the theme in many creative ways; Darlene Olsen, Zion Mora, designed and produced the Kettle River Zone banner. Eight new mission grants totaling $139,000 were approved for the 2018-2020 biennium and more than $16,000 was contributed to various mission projects through their door offerings.

Americans don’t know what the First Amendment says— but does it matter?

T

he majority of Americans are supportive of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment, but are also unaware of exactly what those rights are, according to the recently released 2018 State of the First Amendment survey by the First Amendment Center of the Freedom Forum Institute.

When asked if the First Amendment goes too far in the rights that it protects, more than three-fourths of Americans disagree. That’s fairly good news, but it’s somewhat First tempered by the fact that a third Amendment of Americans cannot name a single freedom guaranteed by Center the First Amendment. Another third can only name one. Only Lata Nott one survey respondent out of a sample of 1,009 could name all five. And nine percent of Americans think that the First Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. (For the record, that’s the Second Amendment.)

But does it really matter that Americans don’t know exactly what the First Amendment says?

After all, while no one’s done a survey on the state of the Third Amendment, I’d wager that most Americans have no clue what rights that one guarantees and I’m not losing any sleep over that. (In case you’re curious, the Third Amendment says that no one can force you to quarter British soldiers inside your home. The issue doesn’t come up much these days.)

But First Amendment issues do come up a lot (just look at the number of First Amendment-related decisions the Supreme Court made this term). And the fact that Americans are generally aware that the First Amendment gives them the right to express themselves but are pretty fuzzy on its actual details is problematic. As any teacher can tell you, a little knowledge can be more dangerous than no knowledge at all. In this case, it leads to people passionately invoking the First Amendment in some circumstances and ignoring its existence in others.

So, for a quick review, the First Amendment grants us five freedoms: religion, speech, press, assembly and petition. All of these freedoms are interconnected. The freedom of religion prevents the government from establishing its own religion, and from favoring one religion over another. It also keeps the government from interfering with the way people practice their religious beliefs. Religious freedom is a powerful thing, even if you yourself are not religious.

It essentially grants each individual the freedom to develop their own conscience and their own values. The government doesn’t get to tell you what your values should be — that’s for you to decide.

Freedom of speech protects your right to express those values, even if that expression is critical of the government. Freedom of the press guarantees your right to uncensored information about the world around you and especially information about what your government is

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks for promoting a positive, friendly, safe environment To the editor, My mom grew up in Minnesota.

She never learned to swim. My mom is now a grandmother and still, being around a body of water makes her anxious. My mom vowed that not knowing how to swim would end with her. Swimming would be one legacy she would change in a single generation.

As a young mom, she frequently took me to the Mora Aquatic Center. The pool was just a few blocks from our house and was a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon.

As the stories go, the first few months I clung to her legs, fearful to go in the water. She didn’t let that stop her.

Not only did my mom not pass on a fear of the water, she raised a daughter who eventually grew up to be employed at the MAC. I became a lifeguard. My family is now in our second generation of

Minnesota summers spent in and around water are one of the best parts of growing up in this state. I am forever grateful that my mom brought me to the pool as a child. I am proud of the caliber of swimmers our community sends out each year. Thank you, Mora Aquatic Center, for giving us decades of an amazing community pool.

Gratitude, support for the Mora Aquatic Center To the editor, Open letter to the Mora City Council: I wanted to send a short letter expressing my gratitude and support for the Mora Aquatic Center. I am out of town for a few weeks this summer and have noticed online all of the reports about the nursing mother and the discomfort she felt.

MAC employees. This year, my daughter is employed at the pool selling tickets, cleaning and working concessions. She hopes to one day be a lifeguard, too.

Thank you to the City of Mora for overseeing the MAC. Thank you to Steve Froehlich, the pool manager who has served the pool and our community so diligently.

Mr. Froehlich has supervised and successfully overseen the training of more swimmers and student leaders in our community than we could count. Thank you to all the MAC employees. You not only promote a positive and friendly environment at the pool, you literally save lives. There aren’t a lot of people who can say that about their jobs. Each and every one of you is a superhero.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (CONTINUED) FROM PAGE 4

Although I assume there is more to the story than what is being reported in the media and on Facebook, I want to say this: Even if the situation on that day was handled poorly by the MAC, I judge the MAC based on it’s decades long legacy, not on an isolated incident.

The legacy of the MAC is that it has provided a safe, healthy way for children and families to spend time outdoors during summer vacation. When we moved to town the summer before my fourth grade year, the best part of moving to Mora was that there was a pool available in the summer.

I would guess that when we moved back to Mora as a family six years ago with two preschool children, they would echo the same thing. The pool has provided recreation, access to the outdoors, swimming lessons and a place to connect with others in the community for two generations of Olsons. I hope that my grandchildren will have access to this same great resource.

Thank you for making this great asset available to the community. I understand that the MAC is not a profitable endeavor and am impressed that the city has continued to set the pricing for admission and for lessons such that the MAC is accessible to all income levels, despite the fact that most patrons are probably not taxpayers in the city of Mora.

What a great service to the entire community.

Thank you for all you do.

Hohn’s make a lasting impression of kindness and service To the editor, Here is some good news. We live in Starbuck and have driven through Mora more times than I can count. We stop and shop and have always had good experiences and even some fond memories. This Friday we stopped, but not by choice. Our truck broke down pull-

ing our camper. So we walked to the nearest repair shop and they were nice but booked up.

So we walked to the next repair shop and they were nice but booked up. So we walked to the next shop and, you guessed it, they were nice but booked up. We called the fourth repair shop, Hohn’s, and they said “no problem, where are you, we’ll be right there.” One hour later, after a cup of coffee, cookie, and true gratitude, we were on our way again. Butch and Kristy have made a lasting impression of kindness and service to others. We will remember this trip for a lifetime. You are right; Kristy, “With God all things are possible.”

Mayor supports Walz To the editor: I’m joining the many Mayors in Greater Minnesota who support Tim Walz for Governor because I believe that it is time for Greater Minnesota to be represented. Tim is a teacher, veteran, coach and has served in Congress for more than a decade fighting for his constituents in southern Minnesota.

Tim has been a champion for our communities and our way of life. Whether it’s helping young people get their start in agriculture, investing in new roads to connect our towns and keep our economy growing, or fighting for veterans as the top Democrat on the VA Committee, Tim Walz has never stopped working for us.

Tim’s running mate, Peggy Flanagan, who has spent her life and career fighting for children and families. Together, they have a robust policy agenda aimed at building a Minnesota that works for all of us and the guts to fight and make it happen. We need their leadership.

Please vote in the primary on Aug. 14 and please consider voting for Tim Walz for Governor.

FREEDOM: First Amendment more than an a la carte menu FROM PAGE 4

doing. And if you don’t like what the government is doing — if its actions contradict the values you cherish — you have the freedom of petition, which is the freedom to ask for the laws you want, and the freedom to assemble a group of like-minded people to give that request some political heft. We need all five of these freedoms to have a democracy that ensures

comprehensive protection of the American citizenry.

As a country, we’ll probably always disagree about what the precise limits of the First Amendment should be.

People will certainly always invoke the First Amendment in a self-serving manner, championing some of these freedoms while discounting others — think of Milo Yiannopoulos presenting himself as a defender of free speech but calling for vigilante

squads to target journalists.

Yes, it’s his First Amendment right to make tasteless comments. But hopefully one day Americans will understand the First Amendment well enough to recognize how disingenuous it is to treat it like an a la carte menu.

We are the problem and solution for the air

T

he world population today is about 7.6 billion people and expanding. Every individual is a consumer of Earth’s natural resources and products produced from them. This great consumption is putting pressure on our environment.

Of particular Creation concern is the Care effect this puts on our air. As Paul Larson all living things including mammal’s, humans, plants, trees etc. cannot survive without good quality air.

There are at least two major layers in our atmosphere that we need to understand and care for. The first is the ozone layer found in the stratosphere about 10 to 15 miles up. This layer is the one that protects us from ultraviolet rays. Life on Earth would not exist without this ozone layer.

The second large layer is the troposphere which is just below the ozone layer. This is where all the life supporting components are found such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and several minor elements.

Both layers are responsible in creating a greenhouse effect very important to sustain life on Earth. If anything happens to change the normal balance of elements found in these layers, major problems begin to occur. For example, the normal carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in our atmosphere were about 250 parts per million prior to the industrial revolution. This number has been going up ever since. Today it stands at over 406 ppm. Scientists state that when it reaches about 500 ppm major environmental issues will occur. So, what is causing these changes?

These changes began prior to and during the Industrial Revolution back in the mid-17th century. The burning of wood and coal, followed by fossil fuels such as oil and gas seemed to be the main issues. The utilization and the burning of wood also reduced the number of trees that were growing worldwide.

Trees do so much for us in the utilization of carbon dioxide and they produce oxygen for our air. This burning of wood and coal also placed huge amounts of particles or particulates into the atmosphere which also has detrimental impacts.

After years and years of wood, coal, and fossil fuel burning, air quality changed dramatically developing a denser greenhouse effect on the Earth. Our air temperatures began to rise resulting in the melting of ice caps and the changes in the global weather patterns.

The changing quality of our air has impacts on the entire Earth’s atmosphere including all living things as well as our vast oceans. We have been using the space immediately above us, the atmosphere, as a waste depositor system. Scientists worldwide and governmental units have been aware of these changes and are trying to make significant improvements and policy changes to this pending problem.

Over 80 percent of our energy used by people comes from fossil fuels. The transportation system, expanded use of electrical power, and heating of homes, consumer goods of all kinds and the indiscriminate use of our natural resources. All use fossil fuels in one way or another.

As pointed out above, climate change is a deep area of concern around the world. Even though these changes have happened many times in the past by normal causes such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the tilt of Earth, the changing distance from the sun, etc. only now has mankind and human activity been so prevalent in causing significant impact to the environment.

WE ARE THE PROBLEM, SOLUTION It is assumed by many that it is always something or someone else that is causing these rapid increases in our temperatures, rising greenhouse gases and the like. We have a hard time looking at ourselves and our friends and neighbors as the problem.

With greater awareness by the public and more government action, the poor air quality of the past could become more a positive story rather than negative one.

Many countries and societies around the world including the USA are adopting many policies and programs to help solve some of the problems, including: 1. Moving away or reducing over time the use of coal, oil and natural gas for electrical generation.

2. Moved more rapidly to include wind and solar energy as a way of producing electrical power. Large battery storage units are now also coming on fast and will be a facility in the future.

3. Greatly improving the use of insulation in our homes is resulting in lower heat requirements.

4. Improving vehicle efficiency, more miles to the gallon will help down the road.

5. Electrical cars are here and in the market and will only improve and expand in use.

6. The use of recycling or reusing has great potential and has moved ahead rapidly.

There are many more examples that could be presented here but these are a few of the things that have been done and more will be coming. We as citizens need to educate ourselves, try to adopt some of these technologies listed above and encourage others do the same.

Societies throughout the world including the United States are improving old ways and bringing on new technology. We need to continue to expand this trend.

Governments need to be more progressive and should move ahead on new ways of doing things and move away from some of the old methods.

It will make a better way of life for all. Our Earth, the way we would like it to be, will only survive if we make the necessary changes.

CREATION CARE The Creation Care Committee is a partnership between St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Calvary Lutheran Church of Mora. “Creation Care” is a movement that emphasizes humans as stewards of the earth and are charged by God to take responsibility in caring for his creation.

TOWER: Concrete structure hits 100 years

City council evaluates fees, permits and law enforcement budget

FROM PAGE 1

In the early years, a man by the name of Peter Coleman kept a fire burning in the bottom of the tower for $40 a month. In those days you could see the soot marking the side of the Tower from the smoke.

“The light on the tower was put there in the early years. To many of us we take that light as a landmark and when we approach Ogilvie from a distance the first thing we see is the light. Those of us that have been gone from Ogilvie for long periods of time when we return there’s always a feeling of that we’re coming home when we see the light,” said Fred Alhgren. The light was on the Tower in the early 1920s and 30’s. In the early days a man by the name of Palmer Brettingen used to put the light on the tower. He went to California in the early 1930’s and Fred Algren was given the job of putting the light on the tower for a bit until his mother saw him up there.

“The light was a large incandescent light bulb that didn’t screw in but pushed in,” Fred recalled.

“For a long time the Tower was never locked so the kids from town would climb the tower. It was quite a thrill to climb the tower. You enter the tower and there is a ladder, steel steps embedded in the cement that goes vertically to the door which is a hundred feet up the tower at that point you open the door and then climb out and you are then on top of the tower looking down, its a real thrill. In those days the top of the ladder didn’t seem to be secure and would slide back and forth to give you the additional thrill as you climbed out onto what I would call the balcony. At the balcony, you switch from climbing on the inside of the tower to the outside which is much more thrilling. Once you got to the top you had no problems. Kids would sit there and look around.”

Fred Alhgren explained.

The Tower was decommissioned in 2011.

OGILVIE TOWER QUICK FACTS

The Ogilvie Water Tower was constructed in 1918 with reinforced poured-in-place concrete by the Circular Concrete Company of Minneapolis.

The tower underwent extensive restoration and painting in 1977.

The tower’s concrete tank holds 50,000 gallons. The tank is 24 feet, 2 inches high and 21 feet, six inches in diameter. The walls are nine inches thick.

The tower was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 1980.

The Ogilvie Water Tower.

Permits for upcoming events, assessments for past-due fees and approval of the 2019 Sheriff’s Office budget were taken up by the Mora City Council at its July meeting.

On Tuesday, July 17, 2018, the Council granted permit applications for four upcoming events.

• The Kanabec County Agricultural Society requested use of the property between the fairground and the Mora Aquatic Center from Thursday through Monday, July 26-30, for Kanabec County Fair activities; and also on Saturday, Aug. 11 for the seventh annual Rods and Rust Car Show. KCAS has used this property for these events for many years, but the City’s new permit rules for public properties made it necessary to complete an application.

• The Mora Area Chamber of Commerce requested closure of Railroad Avenue on Saturday, Aug. 11 for its Classic Car Show and Street Dance. The Council had previously approved closure of two blocks of Union Street, from Forest Avenue to Maple Avenue, at its May 15 meeting.

The Council approved the request, set to run from 2:30 p.m. to midnight, and added an exemption to the city noise ordinance to allow outdoor music until 11:00 p.m. (City ordinances

do not allow loud music after 10:00 p.m., except by Council permission.)

• The Mora Half Marathon committee requested closure on Saturday, Aug. 18 of Union Street between Maple Avenue and Forest Avenue from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m., and Maple Avenue between Lake Street and Park Street from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., for its annual 5K race. The Council approved the application, pending proof of liability insurance.

In other action, the Council approved certification of assessments for unpaid fire, utility and miscellaneous charges. Mora resident Terry Wickenham requested that a lien against his property be reduced. Wickenham stated that a tree branch he was trimming a year ago fell against an old and weathered utility pole, causing the pole to snap and resulting in a $1,319.85 repair charge. He stated that the pole was in need of repair before this occurred, and asked the Council to share the responsibility for the charges. After deliberation, the Council moved to reduce Wickenham’s assessment to $1,000.

Sergeant Dylan Van Gorden of the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office requested Council approval of the department’s 2019 budget. He stated that the 2019 budget remains the same as the previous year, equaling $652,242.

The Council voted unanimously to approve the new budget.

The next City Council meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at City Hall.

Improve outdoor living spaces The popularity of outdoor living spaces has been growing for years. Homeowners are making updates to improve their yards for entertaining.

Outdoor living spaces may be sound investments for homeowners looking to improve the resale value of their properties.

When planning an outdoor living space, homeowners with ample backyards have much to work with.

To make the most of the space while getting a strong return on their investments, homeowners should look to create spaces with broad appeal. The following are some popular outdoor living space features.

Outdoor kitchens Outdoor kitchens allow homeowners to prepare more than backyard barbecues. A built-in gas grill with burners and granite countertop makes a functional entertaining space.

Bars Indoor entertaining areas often include bars, so it makes sense to include a place to prepare and serve

beverages. Homeowners may want to install wet bars where they can rinse mixers, glasses and other items.

Warming features Features that keep people warm after the sun sets include outdoor fireplaces and fire pits. Fireplaces and fire pits were the most popular outdoor design element in 2016. Such features provide a focal point in the backyard while also extending the outdoor season into autumn and even early winter.

Porch space Outdoor living spaces are often found in the backyard, but homeowners with bigger front yards may want to expand or open their porch spaces. Porch swings and rocking chairs provide a great place to relax, and porches are covered, meaning homeowners can continue to be outside even when it rains.

Outdoor living spaces are growing in popularity.

Homeowners who want to capitalize on this trend can do so in various ways.

Blue Devils win big

BY JAYSON PAUTZKE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora Blue Devils began region 1C play with two big wins in Hinckley this past weekend. The two wins improved the Devils record to 20-6 overall and moved the team to within one win of the state amateur baseball tournament.

Mora opened the tournament Saturday, July 28 against the Quamba Cubs. The Cubs defeated Nowthen earlier in the tournament by a score of 8-3 to advance to the next round to take on Mora.

The game remained scoreless until the fourth inning when Mora would plate three runs. Greg Chmiel drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single scoring Michael Humphrey. Adam Burgess would follow with a sacrifice fly bringing in Derek Graves to make the score 2-0. Hunter Foss finished off the scoring in the inning with an RBI single bringing in Chmiel.

The Blue Devils would put

up three more runs in the fifth inning. Foss picked up his second RBI of the game on a bases loaded walk. Mike Schnabel and Erik Raivo would pick up back to back RBI’s as they were hit by pitches with the bases loaded.

Starting pitcher Asa Patterson went the distance picking up the complete game shut-

out for his eighth win of the season. Patterson took a no hitter into the ninth inning before Kevin McFerran of the Cubs broke it up with a one out double. Patterson allowed two hits while striking out eight and walking just one.

Offensive leaders: • Michael Humphrey 2 for 4, 2 runs scored • Greg Chmiel 2 for 4, 2 runs scored, RBI • Hunter Foss 1 for 3, 2 RBI’s On Sunday, July 29 Mora played Rum River. The two teams had split a doubleheader the weekend before in very close games. This game would be no different.

Mora opened the scoring in the first inning as Derek Graves drove in Greg Chmiel on a fielder’s choice to make it 1-0.

The Devils extended the lead to 3-0 in the third inning as Darin Erickson delivered a big two RBI bases loaded single scoring Michael Humphrey and Derek Graves.

Mora would pound out 10 hits

Pitcher Derek Graves pitched all nine innings July 29 allowing just six hits.

for the game, but couldn’t tack on to its three runs the remainder of the game. However, it would be all that starter Derek Graves would need.

Graves went all nine innings allowing just six hits, one run, eight strikeouts and three walks. The win was Graves’ seventh of the season lowering his E.R.A. to 1.09.

Offensive leaders: • Micheal Humphrey 3 for 4, run scored • Erik Raivo 2 for 4 • Dylan Graves 1 for 3 • Hunter Foss 1 for 3 • Greg Chmiel 1 for 4, runs

scored Darin Erickson 1 for 4, 2 RBIs • Troy Jones 1 for 5 With the two victories Mora will now play Princeton on Sunday, Aug. 5 at 7:00 p.m. in Hinckley. The winner will earn a state tournament berth and a spot in the region championship game the following weekend. The loser will still have a chance to make the state tournament and region championship game also the following weekend, Aug. 11 and 12 in Hinckley.

Watercraft inspectors checking Kanabec boat landings

BY KYLE FREDRICKSON KANABEC SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT

KIRSTEN FAURIE | TIMES

A volunteer with the Fish Lake Alliance dresses as a beer can covered with invasive zebra mussels during the July 28 parade.

Kanabec County now has a watercraft inspector visiting local lakes to make sure boaters know the risks of plants and animals that do not belong in Minnesota lakes and rivers.

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) or ‘Aquatic hitchhikers’ are animals and plants that do not naturally exist in local waters and cause ecological or economic harm.

They can harm the environment, outdoor recreation and Minnesota’s economy, all which depend upon healthy water resources.

Once aquatic invaders move in, it’s nearly impossible to get them out. They then cause serious damage to lakes, streams or land; and the plants and animals that call those places home.

They spread uncontrollably, bully native species, reduce fish populations and size, damage habitats, can effect water quality and water recreation.

Invasive species can cost millions of dollars to manage − and millions more in lost revenue for business and recre-

ation.

The main way aquatic invaders spread is by “hitching” rides on watercraft and equipment used by anglers, boaters, and others.

They are often extremely small or hiding in the boat or trailer and easy to miss if people do not check their equipment well. They are sneaky little critters and plants, but they can be outsmarted with proper precautions.

TAKING PRECAUTIONS According to the DNR, the most important thing for boaters to do is take a few minutes to clean boats, drain any water, and dispose of unwanted bait.

This the law that requires draining boats was created to reduce the risk of boaters spreading fish diseases and little things like spiny waterfleas and zebra mussel larvae that are almost impossible to see in water and could be transported to other waters.

Usually, new infestations are not noticed immediately, so there are risks of transporting water from any lake or stream. When leaving waters everyone must drain any water from boats and

any equipment.

Boaters can use a sponge or towel to soak up stubborn water from poor draining areas. Plugs must be removed while moving boats. After trailering jet-skis, run the motor for a few seconds to discharge water before leaving a water access.

Some invasive species are small and difficult to see. To remove or kill them, responsible boaters can take one or more of the following actions before moving to another waterbody: • Spray with high-pressure water.

• Rinse with very hot water (120 degrees Fahrenheit for at least two minutes or 140 degrees for at least 10 seconds).

• Dry for at least five days.

The scariest thing for a lake’s health is if a boat was just on a contaminated or infested lake and slips into another waterbody without a proper bath or dry time.

People should contact an area DNR aquatic invasive species specialist if they think they have found an invasive species.

When life brings us down, purpose can lift us up

R

ecently, I read once more the 1 Book of Kings in the Old Testament. The prophet Elijah certainly had experiences with which we can identify. In fact at one point he has what we might call a “nervous breakdown.” Like us, Elijah became Focus on discouraged and depressed.

What causes Faith those feelings?

Rita Clasemann Sometimes it can be unrealiized d expectations. i Earlier in the Book of Kings, Elijah came up against 850 angry prophets of the pagan gods. He had expected things to go well after his victory against the prophets, but instead he was called an enemy

by Queen Jezebel and threatened.

Sometimes traumatic events in our lives can bring us down.

At the moment of the event, our adrenaline is pumping. But afterward as we settle down a

bit, we may feel drained. It may be hard to get going again.

Poor decisions can lead to discouragement and depression, too. Instead of getting help, Elijah isolated himself and walked 80 miles alone. If only he had turned to a trusted friend for help. Loneliness is a powerful emotion, no doubt about it. That is why scripture talks to us about building up relationships with God and one another.

Are our thoughts positive or negative? Elijah sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. He said, “I have had enough! Lord, take my life, for I’m no better than my fathers.”

What was he doing? He was giving himself negative self-talk.

“Woe is me. I can’t handle this anymore. My life is horrible.”

He’s talking himself into a depressive state.

So what to do when we find ourselves slipping in depression and a feeling of worthlessness?

First and foremost turn to God in prayer. After all, God sent an angel to help Elijah. Would God not help you and me? Would he not send someone to cross our

Instead of getting help, Elijah isolated himself and walked 80 miles alone. If only he had turned to a trusted friend for help. path too? Listen to God’s small whispering voice. Spend time reflecting on God’s love in Scripture. Seek out a community of faith. Surround ourselves with other believers.

Second, we need to get some good sleep and try to eat healthy meals on a regular basis. Dedicate time to exercise. In the Book of Kings, ‘the angel told Elijah, “Get up and eat.” Then he looked, and there at his head was a loaf of bread baked over hot stones, and a jug of water.

So he ate and drank and lay down again. Then the angel of the Lord returned for a second time and touched him. He said, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.” So he got up, ate, and drank. Then on

the strength from that food, he walked 40 days and 40 nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.”’ Third, we need give ourselves a purpose each day, a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Maybe it is to walk the dog or visit on elderly person. Maybe it is to weed the flowerbed or wash the car. Volunteer at the food shelf or another community charity. Pick something that causes us to reach out to others or gives us a sense of accomplishment.

Fourth, if the feelings persist, we need to see our doctor. He/ she will know if we need medication and can also connect us with a professional therapist to work through the current situation.

The bottom line is our loving God wants us to be happy, to be filled with His inner peace. Like Elijah, God has a plan, a mission for you and me to fulfill. So get going.

Don’t miss out!

Library, community look to the future

BY MAC LUCKING NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

On Tuesday, July 17, East Central Regional Libraries’ Mora branch held a listening session for the community.

Seven community members gathered in the downstairs meeting space of the library to discuss what Mora wants for the future of their library facility.

To thrive in the modern era, libraries must pay attention to the varying needs of their user base even beyond books and computer-usage.

To address this, ECRL has been hard at work developing and implementing new services, programs, and items for circulation, such as the ever-popular ‘Brain Fitness Kits’ designed to keep minds sharp, and the newly-implemented ‘Play & Learn Kits’ designed to teach toddlers and preschoolers essential skills like counting, rhyming, and matching. However, ideas for improvement for individual libraries need to come from their users, and that’s what these sessions aim to accomplish.

Two prominent ideas brought up for the Mora branch by the public are more comfortable seating for the upstairs, and technology such as Chromebooks or tablets that patrons can check out and use for a period of time either onsite or at home. Many attendants cited internet and computer access as some

of the most important facets of our public library, especially considering the challenges of getting at-home internet in more rural areas. Along with new and improved seating for the upstairs common area, it was also suggested that some seating be added in the children’s section for parents or caretakers to comfortably read to their children.

This would be yet another welcome addition to the children’s section, following the installation of a play and dressup space which will be coming in the next few weeks. Another idea brought up was not just for the Mora branch, but for Kanabec County as a whole – an Outreach (or bookmobile) program in Ogilvie. This service had been offered in the past, but was eliminated due to budget restraints. The high school was proposed as a pick-up and drop-off site for the service.

These ideas, among others, are just a taste of what could be in store for the Mora library in the future. However, ideas such as these can only come to fruition if the community becomes involved, and there will be plenty of opportunities to do so. If you or someone you know is interested in shaping the future of the Mora library, the Friends of the Mora Library group will have their inaugural meeting at 6 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 9, in the common area of the library.

Sheriff’s office offers help to local neighborhood watch programs

BY PATTI MILLER SUBSTANCE ABUSE COALITION OF KANABEC COUNTY

On July 10 at SACK sponsored Coffee with a Cop, Kanabec County Sheriff Brian Smith engaged local residents in a conversation about the Neighborhood Watch program.

With National Night Out from 5-8 p.m. at the Kanabec County Fairgrounds Tuesday, Aug. 7, the topic of suspicious persons and activities combined with prevention are on the mind of many.

Neighborhood Watch is one of the oldest and best known crime prevention concepts in North America. In the late 1960s, an increase in crime heightened the need for a crime prevention initiative focused on residential areas that involved local citizens. The National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) responded by creating the National Neighborhood Watch in 1972. The foundation of the Neighborhood Watch program is the sharing of information, training, technical support and resources provided to local law enforcement agencies and citizens.

As the name implies the goal of the program is for neighbors to watch out for other neighbors and report suspicious persons or activities.

START A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH How do you start a neighborhood watch program in your neighborhood?

There are five steps to building a successful neighborhood watch program:

Recruit and organize as many neighbors as possible.

2. Contact Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office to request a meeting to register your neighborhood with the NW program.

3. After the program is registered, your group will meet with a deputy from the Sheriff’s Office who will be assigned to your neighborhood/group.

4. Decide as a group when to hold regular meetings. These can be monthly, quarterly, or as often as you decide. These are informal meetings where the group discusses any issues with law enforcement and with each other.

5. Implement an action plan. Sharing phone numbers, addresses and emergency contact information.

A successful Neighborhood Watch program involves more than just reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement. To keep your neighborhood group active by being creative. Plan neighborhood garage sales, exercise or walking groups, neighborhood clean up, and even block parties. A Neighborhood Watch program can help prevent crimes from happening and ultimately maintains a sense of safety in your neighborhood.

For questions about the Neighborhood Watch program please contact the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office at (320) 679-8400.

Thrift store donates books to Lakes and Pines Lakes and Pines’ Early Head Start/Head Start received a generous donation of five boxes of children’s books that were donated by New Horizon Thrift Store in Pine City. These books will be distributed to families enrolled in the Lakes and Pines’ Early Head Start/ Head Start Program.

Mora presents a more tidy appearance than any town on the road

100 YEARS AGO (1918) “Local Instruction For Soldier Boys; Board of Instruction Authorized by War Dept. to Act With Local Board:” At a meeting called by the local Selective Service Board under orders from Provost Gen. Crowder, held at the Courthouse last Friday evening, an organization to be known as the Board of Instructions was formed with a charter membership of twen-

ty. J. C. Pope was selected as chairman and J. C. King was elected as Secy. Organizations of this character are being authorized by the War Department in every local board area of the U.S., the object being to accomplish by systematic personal instruction, a preparation of all selective men, so that they will arrive in Camp willing, loyal, intelligent, clean and sober, and thus to fit them better for rapid progress in becoming good soldiers.

The following constitute the charter membership, and no doubt the membership will extend to all parts of the county, as the requirements of an active organization of this kind demand.

J. C. Pope, W. W. Tenney, Geo. H. Norum, Almer J. Peterson, Chas. F. Serline, H. M. Halvorson, C. R. Williams, J. C. King, P. S. Olsen, A. M. Anderson, E. B. Kottek, C. M. Wall, A. O. Bahr, John A. Grahek, Richard Lindblom, Emil Johnson, H. A. Cohen, E. B. Anderson, I. C. Crusoe, Dr. J. E. Rheim.

“Ramgren Dance Hall Closed:” Chas. F. Serline, County Director of Minnesota Commission of Public Safety and Sheriff John Sellstedt, have served notice upon Napoleon Ramgren who has heretofore been conducting dances in the second story of his stock barn, located on his farm in Brunswick township, to immediately discontinue the holding of these dances.

In the first place, these dances are found to be in violation of an Order heretofore issued by the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety, which expressly provides’ that where dance halls are conducted for gain for the owner or proprietor and are commercial enterprises, they must close promptly at 11 o’clock p.m. It being found that Ramgren has not conducted his dance hall in accordance with the Commission’s Order, by permitting these dances to be kept opened until late Sunday morning, therefore this action has been taken by the above officials.

75 YEARS AGO (1943) “Kanabec County Fair Will Be Held August 21 to 25; First Day To Be Entry Day, Followed by Three-day Program:” The Kanabec county fair will be held as usual this year. The fair dates will be August 23, 24 and 25, with August 21 as the entry day.

4-H clubs of the county are expected to have extensive exhibits. Because of the war there will be a somewhat curtailed entertainment program, but nevertheless, the fair will be well worth attending.

Victor Elfstrum, the competent secretary of the fair, is busy these days making arrangements for the coming event. Each day’s program and other information will appear in next week’s Times.

“Severe Hail Storm Here Saturday Destroys Crops; Sections Stricken Include Eastern Peace and Part of Whited Townships:” A destructive hail storm struck portions of Peace and Whited townships last Saturday afternoon, seriously damaging growing crops. The storm extended from Eastern Peace down through a part of Whited. Hail also was reported east of Henriette but the damage there was slight.

A number of farmers in the stricken area who had not cut their grain had their crops pounded into the ground and corn badly stripped. Many gardens are a total loss. The crop on the Fosseen farm in Peace is

50 YEARS AGO (1968) “Car Takes Plunge In Mora Lake, Driver Unhurt:” About 11:30 p.m. Saturday a car driven by Philip Raivo of Mora missed the turn off highway 65 onto Maple Lane near the Herwig plant and rolled over landing on its top in Mora lake. Raivo, who was traveling south on 65 when he attempted to make the turn, was not injured.

The windshield was broken and there was a dent in the top of the car.

“Big Parade Monday; Come to the Fair - Fun Filled Three Days Promised:” Kanabec county fair 1968 promises to be what every fair secretary dreams of -one filled with crowd-pleasing events and thrills. The annual fair will open here Aug. 5 with a spectacular evening parade that will feature beautiful queens, bands, floats, clowns, horses and just about anything else one usually associates with a parade.

Miss Minnesota and the Queen of the Lakes, both recently crowned, will be here for the parade. Princess Kay of the Milky Way and the Central Minnesota Dairy Princess, Kanabec county’s own Diane Terpstra, will ride in convertibles.

25 YEARS AGO (1993) “Ogilvie finds its new principal; After 24 years at Mora High, Keith Lester heads west:” Looking back on more than 24 years in the classroom as Mora High School’s director of vocal music (grades 7-12), Keith Lester recalls a most rewarding time in his life.

“I have a lot of friends on the Mora staff,” he says.

And all those students.

Now, though, it’s time to move on. To Ogilvie, where this past Monday (Aug. 2), Lester became that school district’s new principal of secondary education.

“I enjoy teaching, but I want to teach lots of kids,” he says, explaining that he believes he is capable of impacting more students than a classroom allows.

“Area basket-weavers ‘barely able to keep up with orders’:” He just likes making things.

With an engineer’s degree from the University of Minnesota, he does a lot of engineering, but the finished product is not what you’d expect.

Keith Raivo, along with wife Valerie, makes baskets. The woven bent-wood creations of the Mora couple are in such demand that “for three years now,” says Keith, “we’ve barely been able to keep up with our orders.”

New laws effective Aug. 1 SUBMITTED PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICES MN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

The following is a list of select new laws passed during the 2018 legislative session that take effect Aug. 1, 2018.

The asterisk following the bill number denotes the language that became law.

Summaries of all laws passed by the 2018 Legislature are available online from nonpartisan House Public Information Services at http://www.house. mn/newlaws/#/search/2018.

‘SAFE SENIORS ACT’ INTENDED TO HELP FIGHT FINANCIAL FRAUD Pitched as senior citizen consumer protections, the so-called “Safe Seniors Act” will give broker dealers and investment advisors the authority to report suspected financial exploitation of seniors to the Department of Commerce or the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center.

Investment advisors and broker dealers can often see when someone is trying to financially exploit seniors or other vulnerable populations — individuals 65 and older, according to the law, or legally defined as vulnerable — and the act will give them the ability to report the potential threats to the state, followed by giving law enforcement an

opportunity to intervene. Abuse-reporters will have protection from civil and administrative liability.

The law will allow a broker dealer or investment advisor to freeze seniors’ accounts or delay disbursements if they believe financial exploitation has occurred or will occur Rep. Joe Schomacker (R-Luverne) and Sen. Karin Housley (R-St. Marys Point) are the sponsors.

HF3833*/SF919/CH161 SIBLING BILL OF RIGHTS IS NOW LAW A so-called “bill of rights” will ensure siblings in foster care get to visit each other.

Sponsored by Rep. Ron Kresha (R-Little Falls) and Sen. Jerry Relph (R-St. Cloud), the new law establishes a set of rights for foster care children, including the right to be placed with their siblings when possible and to visit their siblings.

Child welfare agency staff will be required to give a copy of the bill of rights to children upon entry into foster care.

The law does not specify ramifications if the rights are violated.

Foster family license holders and caregivers, and foster residence staff are required to undergo at least one hour of training on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders per year. The new law

says this must be counted towards the 12 hours of annual training required.

The Minnesota Assessment of Parenting for Children and Youth tool is used to determine eligibility for Northstar Care for Children benefits. The new law requires the Department of Human Services, in consultation with representatives from communities of color, to review and revise the MAPCY tool to incorporate the diverse needs of different cultures and communities.

HF3265*/SF2902/CH188 DAY CARES DON’T HAVE TO POST CORRECTION ORDERS Child care providers will no longer have to publicly post the correction orders handed down from the Department of Human Services.

Existing law requires licensed family child care providers and child care centers to post a correction order, or order of conditional license, in a visible place in the facility for two years, with some exceptions.

Because correction orders are already posted online, posting physical copies is duplicative, said Rep. Duane Quam (R-Byron), who sponsors the law with Sen. Carla Nelson (R-Rochester).

HF3015*/SF3058/CH153

SEALED BIDDING THRESHOLD FOR CITY CONTRACTS TO INCREASE A new law will increase the threshold for municipal contracts that are required to go through the sealed bidding process.

Sponsored by Rep. Jim Nash (R-Waconia) and Sen. Dan Hall (R-Burnsville), the law requires cities go through the sealed bidding process for contracts estimated to cost $175,000 or more.

The law also extends the range of contract estimates that may be made by direct negotiation from $25,000-$100,000 to $25,000-$175,000.

HF3841*/SF3399/CH107 NEW LAW WILL INCREASE THRESHOLD FOR DIRECT BID CONTRACTS WITH SMALL BUSINESSES A new law could help small businesses and veteran-owned small businesses get more county construction contracts.

Sponsored by Rep. Cindy Pugh (R-Chanhassen) and Sen. Paul Anderson (R-Plymouth), the law will raise the threshold for counties to use direct bidding from $175,000 to $250,000, so long as the business is a certified small business enterprise or veteran-owned small business.

Kelly L. Kylander

LuDean M. Pontius

Waldo Randall

Kelly Lee (McNally) Kylander of North Carolina, formerly of Ogilvie died on Tuesday, July 24, 2018, at her home in rural Gates County, with her husband a and children by her side, a after a 15-month battle with b brain cancer. She was 52 y years old.

She was born in Minnea apolis on Dec. 9, 1965, and rraised in rural Ogilvie, w where she was proud to be tthe fourth generation from h her family to graduate from O Ogilvie High School in 1984.

S She was united in marriage tto Daniel Kylander later tthat year and the newlyw weds moved to northern California to begin a life of service in the U.S. Navy.

She jokingly called herself a “Navy groupie” and loved the time she was able to live in California, Wales, Iceland, Cornwall and on the U.S. East Coast, though her heart and soul were always in Minnesota. She highly valued education and completed an Associate in Arts in German Degree from Grossmont College, a Bachelor of Arts Degree from The University of the State of New York and a Master of Human Relations Degree from The University of Oklahoma during her adventures as a Navy wife.

She will be remembered for the strength of spirit, radiant personality, creativity, unfaltering courage and wisdom that made her a remarkable and unique person. She was a child of the forest and had, in her early years, a pure, sweet innocence that enabled wild animals of the woods to approach her with curiosity, and not fear. She retained elements of that bright, serene spirit throughout her life and shared some of that magic with the children she worked with at Ogilvie School and in her reenactment role at the Northwest Company Fur Post. She was the family historian from an early age and loved to research and preserve oral history and the cherished items and images of prior generations.

She had a thirst for knowledge and projected a resolute sense of right and wrong, together with the moral courage to stand up for the values she held dear. Among these were thoughtfulness in the care of children; respect for nature and care for the environment; preservation of minority cultures, traditions and languages; study and appreciation for history and folklore; and care and respect for the elderly.

That which was forgotten, she remembered. That which was obscure, she brought into the light. That which was unjust, she sought to correct.

She was the quintessential big sister and had an unfailing ability to say the right thing at the right time when family and friends needed guidance.

She raised two wonderful children, and as their learning coach, instilled in them the personal qualities and discipline needed for high levels of academic accomplishment as she guided them through seven years of online high school and college.

She will be missed beyond what words can express, and her wisdom, courage and compassion will endure in the lives she touched.

She was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents, whom the family trusts are looking after her now.

She is survived by husband Daniel; children, Skadi and Axel; parents Dennis and Jeanne McNally; sister Kris McNally (Tom Youngblom); brother Mark McNally (Jordan Howe) and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 3, 2018, at the Lewis Lake Covenant Church with Rev. Bob DeYoung officiating. A memorial visitation will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2, 2018, at the Akkerman Ingebrand Funeral Home in Mora and one hour prior to the service at the church on Friday. Inurnment will be in the Lewis Lake Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Condolences may be posted at www.aifuneralhome.com

LuDean Mary Pontius, of Surprise, Arizona, formerly of Mora, died on Monday, July 16, 2018, surrounded by her family at the Banner Boswell Hospital i Sun City, Arizona. She in w 86 years old. was She was born on June 2 1932, in Minneapolis, 29, t parents John and Mary to ( (Schevcheck) Harmsen.

W When she was a young c child, her parents both died f from tuberculosis and by 9 years old she was alone.

L LuDean grew up in the G Glen Lake Sanatorium.

W When she was only 10 years o she was treated and old, s survived an experimental and invasive surgery to remove the tuberculosis from her femur bone. LuDean lived with the effects of the disease and surgery throughout her life but never let it slow her down.

She was taken in by Victor and Muriel Hansen, became a sister to their three children, John, Judy and Jerome. This single act of loving kindness would prove to not only positively redirect her life but also influence her family’s life.

She attended Minneapolis West High School and graduated in 1951. She was presented with a full ride scholarship to art school but turned it down to marry the love of her life, Ellsworth “Al” William Pontius.

The couple were united in marriage on July 21, 1951, and made their home in Minneapolis. LuDean was told she would never be able to have children because of the surgery, but was blessed with three, Micheal, Jeffrey and Susan. The family moved to the Bryn Mawr neighborhood in Minneapolis where they bought the Pontius family home from her husband’s parents. In 1967 they purchased a property on the Snake River north of Mora - they retired to this home in 1991.

After being taught to shoot by Bonnie Berg of Ogilvie, she became an avid deer and bear hunter. She was proud to hold the women’s Minnesota record for the largest black bear shot, weighing more than 500 pounds. She enjoyed a 50-plus year friendship with Marie Shepherd and their families enjoyed camping while growing up together.

In 2003, she and her husband moved to Surprise, Arizona where they built their dream home. They enjoyed the warm climate and truly enjoyed their home and friendships over the next 15 years. Her husband’s health began to decline and he passed away on Sept.

24, 2014. After being married for 63 years, she could never fully embrace his death.

She was blessed with a dear friend Ilene Perkins, who helped her with many things in her final years.

She suffered a mini-stroke in the spring of 2018 and her health began to decline. In her final hours she called out three things; “tell Jeff, I love him”; “I’m ready to go - Let me go”; and in the last hour of her life, she called out for her husband many times before passing away peacefully.

She was preceded in death by parents John and Mary Harmsen and Victor and Muriel Hansen, daughter Susan Lynn LuDean Pontius, and beloved husband Ellsworth “Al” Pontius.

She is survived by sons Micheal (Rose) and Jeffrey; grandchildren, James Pontius, Jessica (Corey) Hoffmann, Ryan Pontius, Bonny (Scott) Wilming, Cindy Mosher and James (Thuy Diep) Mosher; great-grandchildren, Phoenix Hoffmann, Cash Hoffmann, Shyler Wilson, Justin Wilming, Elijah Coleman, Maximus Mosher and Mason Mosher; two great-great-grandsons DeAngelo and DeNahi; siblings, John (Sharon) Hansen, Judy Hansen and Jerome “Jerry” Hansen and many other relatives and friends.

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS July 31, 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 July 31, 2018.

Mora: Conservation Officer Mike Krauel focused enforcement activity on angling and boat and water safety. He also spent time patrolling for ATV activity and at division armorer training.

Hinckley: Conservation Officer Bret Grundmeier spent some time teaching young hunters about DNR laws and hunting ethics during a firearms safety class. Patrol efforts were spent on area lakes checking anglers and checking ATV activity. Fishing was fairly slow with most people reporting a tough bite while ATV activity was busy.

Wolf depredation problems continued with more complaints of calves being taken by wolves.
