Mega-rains cost mega-bucks BY NATASHA STENBOCK NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

‘Mega-rain’ is drawing mega bucks from the state of Minnesota after drudging through the fourth wettest summer on record. Rivers and lakes, engorged by excessive rain, flooded major arteries in multiple counties more than once this summer. By all measurable meteorological standards, this was a soaker. Thanks to $5.4 million in funding from the State Disaster Assistance Contingency Account, several counties, including Kanabec and Pine, can recoup a portion

‘The unexpected costs of the storm damage repair essentially replaced some of the planned maintenance’ Chad Graments Kanabec County Public Works Director of the cost to fix public infrastructure. Kanabec County Public Works estimates the final total on repairs will amount to about $500,000 dollars. While state funding is applauded by local representatives and county officials, it won’t cover 100 percent of the bill, nor does it cover

damage to homes or local businesses lacking flood insurance. According to the Governor’s office, the state will reimburse 75 percent of eligible costs with local governments responsible for the remaining 25 percent. What does that mean for local agencies who have to fork out the last 25 percent?

Chad Gramentz, Kanabec County Public Works Director said, “The unexpected costs of the storm damage repair essentially replaced some of the planned maintenance that we were planning on doing this summer. For instance, some of the gravel roads we planned on putting more gravel on got delayed until possibly next year for time frame purposes and for the funds.” MEGA-RAIN According to the Minnesota DNR (Department of Natural SEE MEGA-RAIN, PAGE 7

Over July 9-11, 2016 many residents were impacted by the devastating effect of flooding, resulting in many homeowners suffering property damage. As Kanabec County has been declared a disaster area by the governor there may be additional property tax relief available to property owners. Properties classified as homestead may be eligible for a tax credit in 2017 for any amount of property damage to structures. Additionally, all property classifications (i.e. seasonal, homestead and non-homestead, commercial, etc.) deemed to have 50 percent or more damage to their structure(s) could be eligible for property tax relief in both 2016 and 2017. In order to properly calculate this tax relief the damage must be surveyed by Friday, Sept. 23, 2016. To be properly assessed, contact the Kanabec County Assessor’s Office to set-up an appointment by calling 320679-6420 by Monday, Sept. 19.

Football and T-shirts: State Patrol encourages teens to buckle up Officers of the Minnesota State Patrol launched t-shirts into the stands at Ogilvie’s home football game Friday, Sept. 2. The campaign is an effort to remind students and their parents about the importance of buckling up every day. Forty-one percent of teens killed were known to be unbuckled over the last ﬁve years.

What are the rules for three-wheeled vehicles on the road? Q-What are the driver’s license requirements and equipment laws for the new three-wheel type motorcycle vehicles? A-The law changed on this Aug. 1. An auto cycle is a motorcycle that: • has three wheels in contact with the ground; • is designed with seating that Ask a does not require operators or any occupants to straddle or sit astride Trooper it; Sgt. Neil • has a steering wheel; • is equipped with antilock brakes; Dickenson and • is originally manufactured to meet federal motor vehicle safety standards for motorcycles. Under the revised law, a person may operate an auto cycle with a valid driver’s license. A motorcycle endorsement or a three-wheel motorcycle restriction

is not required. Someone in an auto cycle can drive one of these on a regular class D driver’s license with no motorcycle endorsement or restrictions. Persons riding within an enclosed cab auto cycle are exempt from wearing protective headgear and eye-protective device. A properly adjusted and fastened seat belt, including both the shoulder and lap belt when the auto cycle is so equipped, shall be worn by the driver and any passengers. Polaris Slingshots, for example, are open cab and would then require proper headgear/eye protection. Since the auto cycle seats are not straddled but equipped with regular seats and have the use of seat belts – all seat belt and child restraint laws would apply. For questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send questions to Sgt. Neil Dickenson – Minnesota State Patrol at 1131 Mesaba Ave, Duluth, MN 55811.

A good day for ﬂying a kite

This past weekend myself, two 16 year olds, a 14 year old, 9 year old and a dog spent quality time together doing something that many of us haven’t done in a long time, or maybe ever: we flew kites. I took a chance and bought not one but three kites, thinking one of them would be opened by my daughter, someday. Never did I think they would generate the immediate excitement they did. Oohs and ahhs were heard as soon as the kites were out of the package, everyone choosing their favorite. And these were not the fancy kites made out of special material and anti-knotWellness ting string you find at a kite store; these were the $1.99 clearEvery day ance kites that were purchased locally. Let me tell you it was the Deb Wright best $6 I’ve spent in a long time. The following hour was filled with giggles, gut-busting laughter, friendly competition of kite running, kite dive-bombing, and the occasional rescue from neighboring trees that required dad’s height and expertise with an extension pole. Aside from me taking photos to document the fun, no electronics were to be found. No bling, no ring and no ping. Such a simple thing, flying a kite on a sunny September day, while standing on bright-green grass, watching cars drive by with passengers smiling and waving. It was picturesque really. At one point, my 14 year old was lying in the grass watching his kite sore effortlessly in the ‘sweet spot’ of the wind, dog by his side and all I could think was, “this is the life.” Times like these seem to be more and more infrequent the busier life gets. All it took was a cheap kite and a little wind to create a beeline to happiness. I can assure you it was good for my heart in more ways than one. An important part of being well is finding the time to create blissful moments with those you love. These moments will be different and unique for everyone. Whether these moments are had for free or cost you just a couple of bucks, the healing power to your soul is worth their weight in gold.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An option for Fairview School To the Editor: Ref: 2015 successful school bond election; the need to sell or demolish the Fairview Elementary School. Subj: The reuse of Fairview School facility as a charter school for grades K -8. This week is the usual start of the school year for most school-age students in Mora. In the past and present there have been a limited number of educational choices for these parents and students. Some parents have chosen home schooling; others have chosen schools outside the 332 District, either public or private schools. This late summer a small group of people formed a committee to investigate a public charter school in Mora to reuse the Fairview School. This point committee has researched a charter school and has found the following: Charter schools are public schools and have state and federal funding directly and through grants.

They are tuition free and operate under a charter defining the particular curriculum emphasis, e.g., math, music, science, language, etc. Charter schools must accept all students up to capacity. They are subject to all the same laws public schools are subject to, as well as, the same financial audits. They follow the same federal and state requirements to provide special education services as other public schools. The point committee secretary, Robert Engberg, has met with Dr. Carlo Galeazzi, Ed. D., of the Art and Science Academy (ASA) of Isanti with respect to his successful formation of two charter schools located in Greater Minnesota. Dr. Galeazzi is very interested in helping with this Mora community effort. Mr. Engberg has also met with Superintendent Craig Schultz of the Mora School District about the proposed reuse of Fairview School when the district abandons that elementary school. The Fairview School reused as a

Charter School would provide an optional educational environment for the Mora students. Fairview is a public building specifically built for education and its reuse would save a lovely neighborhood icon. If you are interested, there will be an upcoming meeting to be soon announced. Excellent information is available at the Charter School Website: mncharterschools.org: About Us, Overview, A Primer on Minnesota Charter Schools.

increase (COLA) and then had increases to their Medicare and Medicaid, so they’re going backward. His “Fair COLA for Seniors Act” has been endorsed by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, an organization that works to protect Social Security and Medicare. The bill also uses the Consumer Price Index for Elderly (CPI-E) for the calculations for COLA increases, this will more accurately reflect seniors expenses. He’s also co-sponsored a bill that guarantees low-income recipients of Social Security to receive a 3 percent COLA every year and seniors with higher incomes receive at least a 1 percent COLA each year. For over half of our nation’s seniors, their Social Security check is the only income they have and Congressman Nolan wants to be sure they have enough to get by; and in turn, help our country work for everyone. To help fund these proposals he supports lifting the Social Security Cap where right now if you make over $117,500 a year Social Security isn’t taken out over that amount. There are over nine million Americans who make over the cap, if the cap is raised to $250,000 Social Security is good for at least 75 more years. After all this only seems fair with all the wealth the top earners make. It’s this kind of effort Congressman Nolan puts into his work and why he’s the one we need working for us in Washington DC. He says Social Security isn’t an entitlement but an earned benefit you’ve earned since your first pay check. He’ll continue to strengthen Social Security, help struggling seniors and prevent efforts to privatize Social Security that would leave seniors at the mercy of Wall Street brokers.

America is heading over a cliff To the Editor: I am very concerned about the upcoming election. There is so much at stake. Several judges for the Supreme Court, our military is so small that we would have a hard time defending our nation. Our financial situation is unreal: We are nearly 20 trillion dollars in debt and many other things are in critical shape. Our choice is Hillary, who I believe to be the worst liar ever running for the highest office in the land, or Mr. Trump who has at least given us a chance to change things for the better. America is heading over a cliff and it is our duty to get out and vote. We are truly at a tipping point. If our Pledge Of Allegiance to the United States of America means anything to you, please get out and vote. James Holznagel Grasston

False information and scary pictures To the Editor: Our Eighth District Congressman Rick Nolan has run a positive campaign touting the work he’s done for the residents of the 8th District, from his work to revitalize the Iron Range to stopping the trains blocking the roads in Cambridge and Hinckley. He’s been named one of the top 10 congressmen in the House, that’s out of 435 congressmen. Stewart Mills on the other hand has run negative ads from the start, of the estimated $230 million dollars he got when the family sold Mills Fleet Farm. I wonder how much he’ll spend falsely attacking Congressman Nolan. His claim about Nolan supporting un-vetted immi-

grants is false. Nolan supported the vetting of Syrian immigrants with the Directors of Homeland Security, FBI and National Intelligence Agency certifying they are who they claim to be. Mills calls Nolan a millionaire as if it’s a bad thing, when he’s worth almost a $14 billion. He’s trying to lead us to believe he’s a working man when he’s never worked for a business without the family name on it and posted on Facebook while his father’s working hard he’s got “Plenty of time to be ‘Peter Pan’ and go play in Never-Land.” He attacks Nolan for voting against veterans. He did vote against a veterans bill he thought was a bad bill, the next year when the bill was much improved for veterans he voted for it. It’s clear Mills is going to continue attacking Congressman Nolan with false information and scary pictures, because he’s got nothing else to stand on. We are lucky to have such an effective congressman as Rick Nolan representing us. Steve Johnston Stanchﬁeld

Secrets of Pokémon Go The car rolls slowly to a stop near the local post office. “Stop the car mom,” yelled the teenager from the backseat, “the third most rare Pokémon is right up there by the post office.” This type of office “water cooler” conversation is heard almost daily as the stories of adventure from the night before are recapped. Pokémon Go is a phenomenon sweeping across towns all over America. Driving to our normal spots in town, you can see people everywhere walking and talking in groups. Almost as it was back in the day when families would venture out after dinner for an evening stroll, or young Kids Corner couples would walk the downtown streets of their hometown enjoying Dawn van Hees each other’s company. It’s an amazing site to see. It’s been many years since our small towns have looked this alive with people. So what’s the catch? Certainly, we have all heard the negative publicity about Pokémon Go. People fighting in parks about what the park should be used for, or neighbors not happy that they have a Pokémon stop in their front yard, but how about the neat things that are happening because of Pokémon Go. This game has caused people to get up off the couch, go outside and get exercise. Now they are moving many miles a day just to catch the elusive Pokémon. People are exploring their communities more and more. They are stopping in front of the older buildings (in places like Cambridge), and often, these locations have signs in front of them to explain the history of the building and of the town. Another interesting twist on this game is the amount

of people who are reaching out to meet others with their similar interest. People are building communities, talking to one another or asking what team they are on. Conversations around this game have opened up these small communities we live in. People are beginning to know their neighbors again. Aside from the social and physical aspect, there is a source of logic and strategy involved as well. Knowing when to evolve your Pokémon to ‘level up,’ understanding what Pokémon to ‘power up’ with stardust, and what Pokémon to place in a ‘Gym’ to hold it longer for more coins are just a few strategic moves each player must know. The number one benefit of Pokémon Go is the time a family can spend with their children. Teens are hanging out with their parents, playing the game and exercising together as a family. Children are explaining to their parents how to play the game or what strategy to use. Families are exploring their communities together and building relationships with others in their towns. The next time you see a slow moving vehicle stopping at some random place, think about the memories the family inside may be building, it’s that cherished time we all seek with our children.

MEGA-RAIN: Wettest July on record yields costly repairs FROM PAGE 1

Resources) climate office, a ‘mega-rain’ event occurs when six inches of rain covers more than 1,000 square miles and the core of the event tops eight inches. In the last 16 years, Minnesota has been the host to five of those 12 events. Kanabec and Pine counties were among some of the hardest hit areas in what’s being called the largest flash flooding event in Northeast Minnesota since 2012. July stands as the all time wettest month for Mora with a record 10.02 inches (records date back to 1904). This meteorological summer marks the 6th wettest in Mora, totaling 20.06 inches from June 1 to August 31. Keep in mind, normal July precipitation for this area is about four inches. In a matter of 36 hours, 9 inches was collected on July 12th, near Finlayson in Pine County. While thunderstorms come with the territory here, the kind of rain that fell over East Central Minnesota this last July more closely resembled a tropical production with approximately 10 inches in just two days. It takes a full month on average to receive the same amount of rain in the Amazon rainforest. Those impacted by the floods will tell you these ‘mega-rain’ events were mega headaches, especially when it comes to predicting how fast the water will rise once the rain begins. This becomes especially tricky when you have to plan for road closures. Highways 70 and 65 in Kanabec County were closed for several days from the July storms. Public Works Director Gramentz says that was the highest he had seen the water rise since he has been in Kanabec County. To make matters worse, not all rivers and lakes come equipped with flood monitors, which in some cases can make it tough to pinpoint exactly how far water will spread and rise. It all depends on topography, ground saturation, the type of soil in the area and exactly where the rain falls. Service Hydrologist Craig Schmidt with the National Weather Service Twin Cities office said, “The storms we had were very widespread where the entire Snake River basin and everything leading into the Snake River basin had four inches, five inches of rain average over that whole basin. That’s a lot of water to run off and we had been pretty moist before that.” On the Wisconsin border, 9.34 inches was recorded at a DNR rain gauge volunteer site near Cloverton in eastern Pine County. Although the heavy rain event lasted approximately 24 hours, it spanned

PREDICTING THE FLOOD MAKERS The kind of storms Central Minnesota experienced in July started with high PWs, also known as precipitable water. Service Hydrologist Craig Schmidt with the National Weather Service Twin Cities office said these summer storms had a lot of tropical moisture entrained in the flow, the kind of moisture content you’d see in the south, like Texas or Louisiana. “Our precipitable water values that we have, seem to be in the upper 10 percent all the time this summer. We didn’t have a dry air mass. We had 1.5, 1.75, 2.0 inches of water in our air mass so anytime you get those type of values and you get any shower starting to fall, there’s a lot of water in the air to work with,” he said. When it comes to forecasting these ‘mega-rain’ events, a combination of computer models are used to determine the potential for heavy rain and flooding. Precipitable water is just one of many elements examined, but certainly not the only factor.

two days over the observation time. This specific ‘mega-rain’ event in July exceeded 2,000 square miles, impacting 1,000 square miles in Pine County. Flooding rains also affected parts of Morrison, Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Benton, Mille Lacs, Kanabec and Carlton counties. FINANCIAL IMPACT These summer floods also impacted untold numbers of homes and small businesses, many of which did not have flood insurance. This is a concern, as Minnesota State Representative Sondra Erickson, (R-Princeton) stated, “For individuals, the state doesn’t provide and neither does the federal government unless the president declares it a disaster zone and that’s not going to happen.” In an effort to help folks who don’t qual-

ify for federal or state relief, community members organized the Kanabec County Flood Fundraiser at the Crystal Bar and Grill in Mora Saturday, Sept. 10. Representative Erickson who represents all of Mille Lacs County and the western portion of Kanabec County commented, “That’s really what America is built on. When you have a disaster where people are in need, the community should come forward and give its personal resources, friends and neighbors coming together.” The fundraising committee was pleased with the incredible turnout and hopes to have a final count of all donations in the next few weeks. They are still accepting flood victim applications. For more information about how to qualify, visit the Crystal Bar and Grill in Mora before Sept. 26, 2016.

PW is given a value by taking the mass of water vapor in a vertical column over a given location and squeezing it out as precipitation on the earth’s surface. The kind of PW values from 1.5 to 2.0 referred to by NWS Hydrologist Schmidt are considered moderate to high moisture content. In plain English, that’s when you’re looking at storms capable of producing rain in excess of two inches an hour. All you need is a bold ﬂow from the south to deliver tropical moisture, then add energy to the atmosphere by igniting convection, aka thunderstorms, and you get an explosion of ﬂood makers.

OGILVIE-MORA SWIMMING & DIVING Head coach: Sara Miller Assistant coach: Emily Michell

Sept. 1 Ogilvie-Mora at Princeton Relays Score/Place: Fifth place overall. We had strong finishes in the 100 backstroke , 200 Medley Relay and the 600 free. Highlights: The 600 free relay swept the race by over 10 seconds over their opponents. The 200 Medley Relay (Jenna Williams, Kallee Swenson, Sage Wren and Summer St. George) broke the school record (2:04.71) with a time of 1:59.97. What it means: We have our first dual meet against Princeton on Sept. 6. It will be a close meet since Princeton finished sixth in the relay meet. We will have to be prepared mentally and physically for our first challenge.

Sept. 6 Ogilvie-Mora vs. Princeton at Ogilvie Score/Place: Ogilvie 106, Princeton 74 The 200 Medley Relay (Williams, Swenson, Wren, St. George) took first place. Sage and Madison Wren went 1-3-4 in the 200 free. Summer St. George and Olivia Hudoba went 1-2 in the 50 free. In the 100 butterfly, Sage Wren, Summer St. George and Jade Stenstrom went 1-2-4. Olivia Hudoba and Ally Sanborn went 1-2 in the 100 free. Jenna Williams came in first place in the 500 free. The 200 free relays went 1-3. Jenna became a double winner with a firstplace finish in the 100 backstroke. Kallee Swenson claimed first place in the 100 breaststroke. The final relay was a 1-3 finish. Highlights: The 400 free relay (Olivia Hudoba, Ally Sanborn, Jenna Williams and Summer St. George) smashed the pool record of 4:12.27 from 2000 with a time of 4:08.87. Jenna Williams took the backstroke record with a time of 1:05.16. The record was held by Ashley Arends from 2004. What it means: We have great momentum moving into the following weeks. We have six meets in the next two weeks. The girls will be tired, physically and mentally, but if they can overcome these challenges they will do really well.

Sept. 8 Ogilvie-Mora vs. Staples/Motley Score/ Place: Ogilvie-Mora 124, Staples/ Motley 48. OMST took first place in all 12 events. This is a first for this swim team. We had depth compared to the smaller team, but the girls swam incredibly fast. Highlights: Summer St. George broke both of her previous school records in the 50 and 100 free. Jenna Williams broke the 200 free school record. She later broke the 100 backstroke pool record. The pool record is a first for Ogilvie/Mora in over 10 years.

Sept. 10 Ogilvie-Mora at Fridley Invitational Score/ Place: Ogilvie-Mora in third place out of six teams. OMST took four ﬁrstplace ﬁnishes. Summer St. George was a double winner in her 50 and 100 free. Jenna Williams claimed the 100 backstroke. The relay of Olivia Hudoba, Ally Sanborn, Jenna Williams and Summer St. George took the 400 free relay. Highlights: Jenna Williams took the 500 free school record from Renee Sanden. Summer St. George broke her previous 100 free record. The 400 free relay continues to break their own record. This is the highest placement at an invite for OMST.

Morgan Mann 22:58 Personal Best

What it means: This was a fun meet for our boys to see where we are with some AA schools. We were the only Class A school with a team and represented quite well. Centennial is a senior dominated team and they had a good meet. Nate Williams had a great day for Mora. Nate set a personal best time and broke 18 for the ﬁrst time ever. Every meet different people step up and run well. It is fun to watch the kids compete. Coming up: Sept. 19 — 4:15 p.m. vs. Pierz Healy at Pierze Healy HS Sept. 24 — 10 a.m. vs. Milaca at Stones Throw Golf Course

18. Peyton Oslin 23:35 What it means: The Mora girls started the season with back-toback wins. It was a great team effort. The Mustangs placed six runners in the top 12 and all seven varsity runners in the top 18. From the Coach: “This was a challenging course. It was very wet, soft and muddy. The girls all took it in stride and had a lot of fun with it.” — Chris Goebel Coming up: Sept. 19 — 4:15 p.m. vs. Pierz Healy at Pierze Healy HS Sept. 24 — 10 a.m. vs. Milaca at Stones Throw Golf Course

MORA VOLLEYBALL Head coach: Lisa Gustafson Assistant coaches: Audri Erickson, Kelsey Erickson, Olivia Warren Sept. 1 Mora vs. Pine City Score/Place: 22-25, 22-25, 23-25 (Loss) Sept. 6 Mora vs. Moose Lake/Willow River Score/Place: 16-25, 21-25, 25-23, 25-21, 15-12 (Win) Sept. 8 Mora vs. Becker Score/Place: 17-25, 25-22, 20-25, 21-25 (Loss) Sept. 10 Visitation Tournament Score/ Place: Round Robin Tournament Format: Visitation: 15-25, 25-22, 8-15 (Loss) Simley: 25-21, 13-25, 10-15 (Loss) Holy Angels: 26-24, 13-25, 12-15 (Loss) Highland Park: 20-25, 14-25 (Loss) South St. Paul: 25-19, 25-21 (Win)

The Mustangs finished 1-4 in a very competitive tournament. Our final record doesn’t reflect the improvements made throughout the day, as the girls pushed some talented teams to three sets. These teams play faster volleyball than we’ve seen so far this season, running shorter and quicker sets and always bringing three hitters at us. Our blockers and defense stepped up tremendously, as we adjusted and learned to read the opponents’ offenses. We needed this competition at this beginning point of the season to push our own skills and quicken the pace of our game.

Stalk market raccoons THE CAFE CHRONICLES The sign read, “Eat here or we’ll both starve.” There was a smell of Old Spice and wisdom. And coffee. The League of Extraordinary Coffee Drinkers had gathered. The white hair proved that cream rises to the top. A sandwich was ordered. It could have been wurst. OLD MAN MCGINTY Old Man McGinty, the youngest Old Man McGinty ever, collects antique seed corn caps. It’s old hat for him. He likes wild critters. He puts out tea for the Earl Grey squirrels. But he complained that raccoons had been playing the stalk market. They trampled his sweet corn patch. He told his doctor about it, in case it impacted his blood pressure. He’d gone to see Doc Splint Eastwood because his armpits were chafed. Splint told him to loosen his belt. SWEET MOSQUITO CORN I went outside to pick a few tomatoes and to bond with the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were terrible. It was ouch-and-go for a while. I found a dead opossum. Opossums play dead, but this one was serious about it. I figured the mosquitoes had sucked it dry.

As I got my daily exercise by swatting at the pesky biting insects, I thought Al’s World of sweet c o r n . Al Batt Speci fi c a l l y, corn on the cob. I love sweet corn. According to the USDA, Minnesota is the top-producing sweet corn state. Over 100,000 acres of farmland are planted in sweet corn annually and they produce nearly a third of the nation’s sweet corn. Birds Eye, Green Giant, Del Monte, Seneca and others process the crop. Why does Minnesota grow sweet corn so well? It has consistent rainfall, warm days and cooler nights. It has the right climate to grow good sweet corn and an abundance of mosquitoes. That’s why I think of sweet corn while being bitten by mosquitoes. It helps. Al Batt is a syndicated columnist.

Improvement Add value to your home with these renovations

Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home.

Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale.

• Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen.

• Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friendly home, which is very desireable these days.

doors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desireable, especially as the “staycation” has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project.

• Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.

Kanabec County 4-H’ers compete at State Fair

LAURA AMBROSE | SUBMITTED

Pictured above are Kanabec County 4-H members with some of the livestock they brought to the Minnesota State Fair. Pictured right are (l-r, clockwise) Lily Erickson, Emma Coleman and Ria Edberg who participated in Chef for a Day.

Minnesota 4-H’ers from 86 counties arrived with over 2,800 animals and more than 2,600 general exhibits at the 2016 “Great Minnesota Get-Together.” Livestock encampment was held Aug. 24-28 while general encampment for Kanabec County 4-H’ers was held Sept. 1-3, 2016. Education is integral in the “learn by doing” philosophy of 4-H. Throughout the year 4-H youth select project areas that reflect personal areas of interest and pursue hands on learning that is both self-directed and guided by adult volunteers. The result of their learning is exhibited at county fairs across the state and then the best from each county fair is brought to the Minnesota State Fair. As part of the educational component, Minnesota 4-H requires livestock youth exhibiting an animal to also participate in knowledge tests, skill-a-thons, and personal interviews directly related to the animal species they are exhibiting. All 4-H youth exhibiting livestock at State Fair must also complete the Livestock Quality Assurance and Ethics (LQA&E) Training which covers bio-security, educating the public on the role of livestock and caring for their animal’s welfare. General encampment exhibitors participate in conference-style judging. This allows them to showcase their achievements while learning through the work

St. Clare residents roll through Mora during Annual Walking ‘n Wheeling With Wellness Residents, family, friends and volunteers made a colorful parade of walkers and wheelers Sept. 10 during St Clare Living Community’s annual Walking ‘n Wheeling with Wellness (WWWW) event. The group walked along Wood Street in Mora from St. Clare to the Library Park and back. The event serves as a fundraiser for St. Clare’s wellness program which is designed to help residents gain or maintain their strength, balance and ﬂexibility.

NEWS FROM YESTERYEAR 125 YEARS AGO (1891) Work on the Opera House is progressing. Ninety-five degrees in the shade is plenty warm for this season of the year. The night telegraph office has been opened at this station again to accommodate the extra trains. James Blakely, one of the railroad bridge carpenters, had a finger badly mashed at Milaca on Monday. He came to Mora and had the fracture treated by Dr. Cowan. The Kanabec County Immigration Society made the sale of another tract of land this week to a gentleman of Minneapolis, who will move here at Matt Anderson an early date. A colony of 40 Russian families is about to settle in Mille Lacs County, north of Milaca, on land belonging to the Mille Lacs Lumber Company. Each family will purchase 40 acres on which the company is now erecting suitable houses for them. Eleven extra trains loaded with wheat were sent out from St. Cloud to West Superior last Sunday. Estimating 500 bushels to the car, and 45 cars to each train, there would be upward of a quarter of a million bushels of wheat in transit over this road that day. There has not been less than five extra trains a day every day this week. 100 YEARS AGO (1916) “Coming winter to be mild:” According to reports from prospectors who have been to Winnipeg from the wilds of Manitoba, they claim that the coming winter

will be a mild one. Their belief is based on signs observed by the Indians who seldom go wrong in their predictions of the weather. Some of their observations follow: The oak trees have no acorns this summer. Squirrels are seldom seen. Muskrats have not started to build. Fur-bearing animals have thin coats. Bark on poplar trees is loose. 75 YEARS AGO (1941) “Unknown animal attacks sheep:” Sylverton Loftness, living two miles north of Kroschel, had the misfortune of some animal killing several sheep and badly injuring a number, early Sunday morning. It was first believed that it was wolves or dogs, but tracks were seen on a nearby road Monday morning which looked like lynx or bobcat. It could be possible that it was either of these two, as all the sheep killed or injured has a tiny hole bitten on the throat, besides being badly torn up. Evidently it was a very bloodthirsty animal, whatever it was. Most of the attacks took place only a short distance from the barn. 50 YEARS AGO (1966) “Outdoor enthusiasts find Camperville very enticing:” The lure of the outdoors -- the appeal of the road leading on and on to ever more enticing spots lures many Americans to try camping. Once they begin it hits like a fever and the ardent camper will pack his trailer and head for a camping site whenever he can get away. This summer campers found a new site available for the first time in Kanabec County -- it is Camperville located on Lake Full of Fish in Peace Township, built by

two St. Paul men. Camperville is located on a 280-acre farm which will eventually have 300 campsites within the next few years.

25 YEARS AGO (1991) “Fall Fest set for Saturday:” Area residents wishing to take a stroll down memory lane can spend a day filled with old-time music, artisans and crafts this weekend. The Kanabec History Center will host the second annual Fall Fest on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., complete with theatrical entertainment, demonstrating craftspeople and a variety of food booths. “It’s loosely patterned after the Renaissance Festival, in a turn-of-the-century time frame,” said Edna Cole, director of the History Center. Blacksmithing, weaving, spinning, quilting and leather tooling will be among the demonstrations featured throughout the day.

10 YEARS AGO (2006) “Street work slated for downtown Mora:” In addition, road projects and improvements are also in the city’s 2007 plans. Dhein said next year’s proposed budget includes a $250,000 street resurfacing project for downtown Mora. “We’ll be resurfacing the entire corridor of Railroad Ave. from the courthouse to Park Street next year and putting in new curbs and gutters,” Dhein said. “The city sets aside money every year to improve a section of the city’s roads, so that’s what we’re looking at right now for 2007.” Matt Anderson is a contributing columnist for the Kanabec County Times.

Garden clean up why not start now? BY KARI HOLMBERG UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION MASTER GARDENER

TERRY SALMELA|SUBMITTED

Gardeners celebrate successful growing season Mora Community Gardeners and Kanabec County Master Gardeners celebrated the end of a great growing gardening season with a potluck picnic at the Community Garden on Sunday, Sept. 11. They enjoyed music by Tawni VanVleet and Martha Bush.

Late summer blooms for pollinators Have you been looking for pollinators this summer? I’ve seen lots of native bees, tiny flies, beetles and a few honey bees in my garden and am finally seeing butterflies and moths as well. We know that pollinators need plants that provide food and shelter, spring through fall. Here are a few plants that I recommend for late summer and fall. Anise hyssop Sprouts (Agastache foenicDiana Rankin ulum) has been blooming in my garden for at least a month now and will continue into September. It is adaptable to most soils and does best in full sun. The 3-4’-tall plants hold spikes of pale purple flowers that are covered in bumble bees every morning. This plant readily self-seeds, but seedlings are easily pulled if it gets unruly in your garden.

Yellow seems to be the predominant color for fall flowers and nothing beats black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). It is blooming now along the roadsides and will bloom in your garden right into October. There are two goldenrods that work well in gardens. Stiff goldenrod (Solidago rigida) does best in full sun while zigzag goldenrod (Solidago flexicaulis) likes shade. Both bloom from September through mid-October. Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale) (which does not make you sneeze) prefers medium to wet soils and grows in sun or part sun. There are also several native asters that bloom late in the season and are favored by pollinators. New England aster (Aster novae-angliae) is one that can be found in most garden centers this time of year. Its blooms are dark purple (and sometimes dark pink) and the plant grows 3-5 feet tall in wet to medium soils. It can be gangly and not very attractive by the time it blooms. The trick is to cut it back by about

one-third in June to control the height and make it bushier. Dwarf bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera) is a native shrub which has small, tube-like yellow flowers well into September. It has the added benefit of foliage that turns from green to a brownish-red in late summer. It is particularly useful used in mass plantings for a 2-4’-tall groundcover. Many of these plants are available now in garden centers, ready for late summer planting in your garden. To learn more about plants and pollinators, go to these websites: www.beelab.umn.edu, www. bumblebeewatch.org, and www. pollinatorsnativeplants.com.

I welcome the bright spots of color on the flowers that are still blooming in my September garden. They help to hide the entirely natural (but ugly) plant die down as our growing season approaches its end. With so many weeks and weeks of sustained rain, our gardens and landscapes are growing bigger, floppier and more rambling than usual. For some of us plant diseases have been growing just as fast. The differences between bacterial and fungal pathogens may be obvious and important to plant paMaster thologists, but for me as a gardener, to tell the difference. Both Gardener itareis hard microscopic and most invade Kari Holmberg during wet weather. The symptoms that we see on the plants are often very similar and the practices that we can take to prevent or control them are also very similar. Is there anything we can do once the plants are infected? The answer is a little, but not much. The pathogens are after all deep in the plants internal tissues. That tissue can’t be “healed,” but sometimes you can slow down the spread on new growth. Up to 1/3 of plant tissue can be removed to reduce the spread of a disease without affecting the crop. Do fungicides work? Most fungicides available to home gardeners are “contact” fungicides (as opposed to “systemic”). Most must be applied at the first sign of the disease and cover the whole plant (top, bottom, stems) in order to provide a barrier to infection. For example, I have powdery mildew on my pumpkin vines right now. The best that I can do is to be prepared to spray my vines proactively for disease prevention next season. Most plant diseases are caused by fungi. They develop overwintering structures that can attach themselves to dead plant tissue, hard surfaces, or just stay in the soil. Below are some recommendations that you can do now at clean up and next spring at planting that will help your garden to stay healthy. 1. End of season - clean up all plant debris. Compost healthy tissue. Diseased tissue should be thrown away, buried, burned or tilled under to expose it to soil bacteria. Since most pathogens are crop specific, rotate crops and crop families in your garden each year to cut down on re-infection the next growing season. 2. Beginning or end of season - clean trellis, posts, cages, pots, tools, with a 10 percent bleach solution or a household disinfectant. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. 3. Inspect plants before you purchase. Buy plants and seeds from reputable dealers. (Bacterial pathogens can be transferred on infected seed). Choose disease resistant varieties whenever possible. 4. Space plants to allow good airflow within your garden and the surrounding areas. (And keep this in mind if you are a fan of “interplanting” like I am). Remove the lower leaves and diseased plants like tomatoes as they become discolored and dry up. 5. Water the soil, not the plants. Use drip irrigation whenever possible to avoid splashing pathogens that may be in to soil onto plant tissue. Also use mulch to reduce splash. 6. Avoid working on plants when they are wet. Most fungal and bacterial pathogens need wet conditions in order to infect plant tissue. Clean hands and tools often when working on diseased plants. Do you regularly battle diseases like early blight on tomatoes like I do? Then plant tall, colorful zinnias in front to block your line of sight from those defoliated stems. In some years, that is the best that I can do. For more information on plant pathogens, both general and specific, visit http://www.extension. umn.edu/garden.

September Weed of the Month: Giant knotweed BY EMILIE JUSTEN, MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

habitats. It can be found in disturbed areas, along roadsides, gardens, stream banks, and riparian areas. The rhizomes allow giant knotweed to spread quickly and aggressively. Root fragments can be spread by equipment and water, making management a challenge. Do not plant giant knotweed as an ornamental and control existing plants. If you find this plant, immediately report by calling the Arrest the Pest Hotline at 888-545-6684 or arrest.the.pest@state. mn. Management efforts should focus on eliminating root growth. Mowing in combination with herbicide application will produce the best results. Always clean and inspect equipment after working in an infested areas to reduce the transport of plant fragments to new areas. Herbicide treatments need to be repeated for several years to eradicate a population. If using herbicide treatments, check with your local University of Minnesota Extension agent, co-op, or certified landscape care expert for assistance and recommendations.

September’s Weed of the Month is giant knotweed (Polygonum sachalinense). Giant knotweed has hollow, bamboo-like stems and grows over 12 feet tall, making it the largest of the invasive knotweeds. It forms tall, dense thickets that degrade habitats, particularly along riparian areas where it facilitates erosion and flooding. Giant knotweed is native to Asia. It was brought to North America in the 1800s and planted as an ornamental, for erosion control and as livestock forage. Giant knotweed escaped cultivation and has become a serious invasive plant in many states. Giant knotweed has distinctive characteristics. The tall, hollow stems have swollen reddish nodes arranged in a zigzag pattern. Leaves are heart-shaped, dark green and 12 inches or more in length. Small white flowers in the leaf axils bloom from July to October. The root system of giant knotweed is exten-

sive, growing deep into the soil and producing thick, dense mats of rhizomes. Giant knotweed may be confused with a closely related species, Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum) but can

be distinguished by the leaf base: giant knotweed has a heart-shaped leaf base and Japanese knotweed leaves have a flat base. Giant knotweed is adapted to many

Fall Tree Planting and Pruning The gardening season isn’t over once fall arrives, especially when it comes to trees. Fall is an excellent time for planting most trees. It’s also important to do your fall tree care now to prepare them for winter. Most trees can be planted in fall. The temperatures are cooler, stressing the trees less and allowing them a better chance to get their roots established. It also helps that by this time in the growing season, some greenhouses and nursery’s offer deep discounts their plant stock. Young trees are especially susceptible to the temperature changes that come with winter in cold climates. They are usually not developed enough to withstand the constant freezing and thawing that may occur. One way to help combat this is with a thick (3-6”) mulch layer. Do not put it right up against the trunk - this can cause moisture buildup that attracts fungus. You can use bark chips or leaves. Put this mulch layer down once the ground has frozen. Another way is to wrap the trunk with burlap or tree wrap up to the lowest branch. This will also help protect the tree from salt spray from roads. At the beginning of autumn, stop watering until the leaves fall from the trees. Once they fall, water your trees until the ground freezes so they will have enough water to live

through the winter drought. Time to prune most established trees is now. Make sure to remove the 3 D’s - dead, diseased or damaged. They all serve as points where diseases or pests could enter. Removing them will also make the tree look better. You can also prune branches that aren’t growing the way you would like. The types of trees homeowners have on their property may influence when it’s time to trim and prune the trees. Homeowners concerned about tree maintenance should speak with local landscaping professionals and tree services about caring for the trees on their specific properties, but there are a few tricks to pruning trees that homeowners should keep in mind when dusting off their gardening tools. • Prune lightly on flowering trees because next year’s flower buds may have already formed, and heavy pruning would affect the next spring’s flower production. • Use appropriate tools. When removing branches, use sharp tools to minimize damage to the bark. Young trees are best pruned with one-hand pruning shears with curved blades. For trees with high branches, use a pole pruner or hire a professional tree service.

Novices should avoid anything too risky when pruning. Leave the more difﬁcult jobs to the professionals. • When pruning trees, it is suggested to follow the one-third and a quarter rule of pruning. In adherence to these rules, no more than a quarter of a tree’s crown is removed in a single season, and main side branches are at least one-third smaller than the diameter of the trunk. When trimming deciduous trees, homeowners should never prune up from the bottom more than one-third of the tree’s total height. Finally, where possible, homeowners should aim for side branches that form angles that are one-third off vertical to form 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock angles with the trunk. By caring for your trees now, you will have a more beautiful landscape in the future.
