State, county officials seek to help area veterans BY HENRY FISCHER NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Minnesota is not on the list of “veteran-friendly” states but state legislators hope to change that in the upcoming session that starts next week. State Representative Jason Rarick, who represents much of Pine and Kanabec counties, hosted a special meeting of the State Government Finance Committee at Pine City’s VFW Post. Some 50 veterans attended to hear an update on state and federal programs for veterans and shared their perspectives on unmet needs.

FUNDING VETERAN SERVICES Some 369,000 veterans live in Minnesota. In Pine and Kanabec counties, veterans comprise 10 percent of the population, well above the state and national averages. Pine County has about 3,000 veterans while Kanabec County has 1,500. Committee Vice-Chair Representative Jeff Howe, who represents the west St. Cloud area, is a business owner who also serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Minnesota National Guard. He and Rarick both serve on the House Capital Investment (bonding) Committee. Both acknowledged that veterans ser-

vices and veterans home infrastructure will be a top priority among bonding considerations when the Legislature convenes on March 3. High on the list of an estimated $5 billion in requests for $1 billion of targeted state bonding money are plans to construct new veterans homes in Brainerd and Bemidji. The grand opening of a new building at the Minneapolis Veterans Home also is scheduled for March 7. State funding for veterans services and veterans homes has increased 13.2 percent

Is it legal to leave unattended car running?

Question: Is it illegal to leave your unattended car running with the keys in the ignition? Answer: There are some cities that have local ordinances against it, but there is no state statute that prohibits it. In Duluth it is a violation of City Ordinance 33-91 to leave your vehicle unattended with the keys in it. Check your Ask a local ordinances in reference to this rule. Trooper Car prowls and veSgt. Neil hicle thefts are crimes of opportunity. There Dickenson are many vehicle thefts where the vehicle was left unattended; the keys were left inside, doors unlocked, and the engine running. This makes it very easy for auto thieves to take your car. Get into the habit of locking your vehicle each time you are going to leave it unattended and take the keys with you. I was involved in a pursuit of a stolen vehicle where the owner went into the

gas station to pay for the fuel and left the car running and unlocked. The car was taken and was used to flee police. My patrol unit was damaged, along with the stolen vehicle that was being pursued. Some good rules of thumb are: -Never leave your car running unattended. -Never leave your keys in the vehicle. -Always lock your vehicle -Look at purchasing a remote car starter as most of them have a built in security features while your vehicle is running to prevent the vehicle from being driven. -Don’t leave valuables in plain sight. Place valuable items in the trunk if you can’t take them with you. By following the above tips, you can reduce your chances of having your vehicle and/or your property inside it stolen. 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 63-year-old man was charged with felony criminal sexual conduct after investigators discovered video recordings of the man inappropriately touching a female resident in an assisted living facility. An anonymous call led Kanabec County investigators to conduct a search Jan. 20 at the home of Loren Dean Etter, 63, of Mora. During the search investigators found video recordings of Etter allegedly touching the breasts of a female resident in a Kanabec area assisted living home on two separate occasions: once in 2011 and again in 2013. According to Kanabec investigators, Etter was a visitor to the facility and was not an employee or volunteer there. Etter was charged Feb. 11 with two felony counts of criminal sexual conduct with a victim who is mentally

impaired, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless. Etter was released on bail and his next court appearance is scheduled for March 11 at the Kanabec County Courthouse. Kanabec County Investigator Justin Frisch attributed Etter’s arrest to the help of the anonymous tipster. Frisch said people are often hesitant to call law enforcement with anonymous tips out of fear they will not remain anonymous. Frisch said the Sheriff’s Office will maintain their anonymity. “Any information is good information,” he said. Anyone with tips of suspicious activity is encouraged to call Kanabec County Dispatch at 320-679-8400 or dial 911. Editor’s note: The Kanabec County Times has decided not to publish the name of the facility because naming the facility has the potential to reveal the identity of the victim. Kirsten Faurie is the editor of the Kanabec County Times.

Caucuses an important part of political process On Tuesday, March 1, voters throughout Minnesota will meet in auditoriums, community centers and city halls to attend precinct caucuses. These local meetings are the official beginning of the 2016 election process, where you can gather with your neighbors to voice your views on major issues facing the state and the country. You will also be able to cast your vote in the presidential preference ballot, which determines how many delegates State each candidate will receive at Senator their party’s national convention. Anyone eligible to vote by Dave Brown Nov. 8, 2016 may participate in the caucus discussions. Regardless of your political affiliation, I hope you will take time to attend your precinct caucus. If this is your first caucus, you’ll learn a lot about the political process. If you regularly attend caucus, try to convince one of your neighbors to attend with you. Our system of government depends on the engagement of its citizens, and these meetings offer one of the best opportunities to have a direct impact on the issues and leaders that will shape our future. To find more information about your caucus location and what to expect, visit the Secretary of State’s caucus website by going here: http://mnvotesinfo.sos.state.mn.us/voters/precinct-caucus/.

‘Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost conﬁdence that you can help or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR David vs. Goliath — really? To the editor: In his most recent letter to the editor, Dan Cook makes the laughable assertion that the lawsuit pursued by the nine citizen members of KCRE (of which Mr. Cook is a founding member) against the Mora School District was a case of David vs. Goliath. Mr. Cook states that the nine persons representing his group, KCRE, simply didn’t have the means to fight the school lawyers; yet, Mr. Cook, himself, goes to court regularly with an attorney, most often to receive a judgment against tenants who don’t pay their rent in one way, shape, or form (and there is nothing at all wrong with this). Surely he could have helped the “KCRE 9” by “lending” them his lawyer. I wonder, in light of the fact that Mr. Cook owns over $3,000,000 worth of property in Kanabec County alone (look it up...it’s true) under various corporate or LLCs

between Linden Woods Properties Inc., Mora Rentals, LLC, North Country Residential Properties, and Linden Secure Storage, why he wouldn’t want the “KCRE 9” to have the best representation possible? I wonder why, with the interest he obviously has in keeping property taxes as low as possible, he wouldn’t put himself out there with his fellow citizens to fight this “Goliath” of a school district by signing on to the lawsuit? The problem with Mr. Cook’s David and Goliath analogy is not simply that the KCRE members are not nearly the salt-of-theearth, David-type folks he would like everyone to believe. The real problem with the analogy is that David was a man of integrity. I fail to see the integrity in pretending that the fight against the school referendum was about protecting and serving the poor common folk of Kanabec County when it was really about a man with over $3,000,000 in property not wanting his bottom line to be affected. Let’s be honest with each other. If

the issue at hand did not affect his property taxes, Mr. Cook wouldn’t have a horse in this race at all. To pretend that this fight against the school district was anything other than Mr. Cook and the KCRE members protecting their bottom line is laughable. Jake Punch Knife Lake Editor’s Note: In the Jan. 21 issue of the Kanabec County Times, the article “School election lawsuit quashed” incorrectly reported that nine plaintiffs were responsible for a lawsuit against the Mora School District and Mora Superintendent Craig Schultz when in fact there was only one plaintiff involved, Donald Sauve. The Times published a correction to this article; however, both Jake Punch’s and Dan Cook’s letters were submitted before the correction was published and refer to the nine persons. The Times apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

Poverty simulation gives insight to Aﬀordable Care Act Tax Provisions lives of stressed families The Affordable Care Act includes the individual shared responsibility provision and the premium tax credit that may affect your tax return.

Parenting is a piece of cake, said no one ever. Little people come into our lives and instantly we feel the need to make sure we handle everything perfectly. However, there is no manual, class or even degree that can help you be perfect. Children are like teachers. With every new child should come a new set of instructions. What was tried and true with one child, may not work for another. Yet our goal is really to help our children grow, and perhaps be better than how is that done? Kids Corner us.ASofew months back, Lakes and Dawn van Hees Pines CAC, Inc. held a poverty simulation. The point of the simulation was for people to experience some of the real life barriers families in poverty face. At the end of the simulation, one question stood out from the others that were asked and that question was, “Adults, did you even once during the simulation, ask the children in your family how their day was?” This was a huge aha moment. In the family system I was part of, no one ever asked me about my day during the simulation. I was aware of the daily stress on my parent, but having been asked would have gone a long way in helping me feel important. I didn’t feel bad during the simulation that my parent didn’t wonder about my day, but after the question was asked, I reflected about how a child might feel. This made me think, not only about families in poverty, but families in general. There are so many stressors each day that sometimes connecting with the most precious people in our lives may be lost. You may notice a change in your child’s behavior when things get stressful. This can add to your already overloaded plate. The importance of finding this time or balance, is significant to the children in your life. The quality of time you spend with them is far more important than the quantity. This month, I challenge you to check in with your children each day and just see how their day was. It may not be the magic trick that ensures success in your child’s life, but it will be setting a strong foundation for when times do get tough.

The individual shared responsibility provision requires you and each member of your family to have qualifying health coverage called minimum essential coverage. Minimum essential coverage includes: • Most health coverage provided by your employer • Health insurance purchased through a Health Insurance Marketplace in the area where you live, where you may qualify for ﬁ nancial assistance • Coverage provided under a government-sponsored program for which you are eligible - including Medicare, most Medicaid, and health care programs for veterans • Health insurance purchased directly from an insurance company • Other health coverage that is recognized by the Department of Health & Human Services as minimum essential coverage. • Qualify for a health coverage exemption Many people already have mini-

mum essential coverage. If this applies to you, you’ll simply report your coverage when you fi le your tax return every year. If you and your family members all had minimum essential coverage for each month of the tax year, no further action is required. Health coverage providers, the Marketplace, and some employers will issue Form 1095 information documents early in the tax fi ling season. If you receive these information forms you should keep them with your tax documents. The forms should not be fi led with your tax return. For any months that you or anyone in your family does not have minimum essential coverage, you will need to claim or report a coverage exemption or make a shared responsibility payment when you fi le your tax return.

• Cannot be claimed as a dependent by another person. • In the same month – a coverage month – you, or a family member: - Enroll in coverage through a Health Insurance Marketplace - Are not able to get affordable coverage through an eligible employer-sponsored plan that provides minimum value. - Are not eligible for coverage through a government program, like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP or TRICARE. - Pay the share of premiums not covered by advance credit payments Remember, tax professionals are there to talk to you about your individual, family, or business to make sure you get every deduction, credit and exemption you deserve. A tax professional’s goal is to provide you with the most complete and accurate tax return possible.

CAUCUSES: Locals encouraged to attend FROM PAGE 1

generally agree with the principles of the political party hosting the caucus.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE CAUCUS? Each political party runs their caucus meetings a little differently. Check with your political party if you have specific questions. Generally, there are four main activities at a caucus: 1. Choose volunteers who will organize political activities in the precinct. This could include maintaining contact lists, holding political meetings, and helping with campaign efforts. 2. Vote for the person you want the party to support for president. This is called the presidential preference ballot. The results determine how many delegates each candidate gets at their party’s national endorsing convention. 3. Discuss issues and ideas for the party to support. You can present an issue or idea for the party to support, called a resolution. If you convince other attendees to support your resolution, it will be taken to the next political convention. Eventually, your resolution could become part of the official party platform. 4. Choose delegates who will endorse candidates at future conventions. At future conventions, party delegates will endorse state and federal candidates, including for president. Political parties have different ways of choosing delegates at the precinct level caucus. More information can be found at www.mnvotesinfo.sos.state.mn.us

VETERANS: Reps aim to make Minnesota vet friendly FROM PAGE 1

for the current biennium, to $71 million in fiscal year 2016 and $75.8 million in fiscal year 2017. The lion’s share of the budget, about $52.7 million this year, goes to fund the operation of veterans homes throughout the state. Veterans attending the meeting in Pine City pointed to the need for veterans homes to be strategically located throughout the state, not necessarily geographically, but targeted more toward where veterans and their families live and work now. Noting the shortage in available beds at veterans homes, one person in the audience encouraged state and federal officials to consider converting the North Pine Area Hospital at Sandstone into a new veterans home after the new Essentia Medical Center is completed. Minnesota is one of only a few states in the nation that taxes veterans pensions and Social Security benefits. Legislators in attendance pointed out that a proposed fiveyear phase out of state income taxes for both programs are included in the tax bill that is expected to be acted upon this session. Both actions would help Minnesota to rank higher on the list of veteran-friendly states. In recent years, state legislators and veterans affairs staff have worked to minimize red tape and help veterans get the state and federal benefits they can qualify for and they have simplified the process to help veteran-owned businesses become certified more quickly and receive a six percent preference in the awarding of state contracts. ‘IT’S A NIGHTMARE’ Representative Bob Dettmer of Forest Lake, a retired educator and retired Chief Warrant Officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, pointed to the special challenges involved with helping servicemen and women transition from combat zones back into society. Even some national guardsmen have been deployed three to five times, Dettmer stressed, and as a result, they have

not been made financially whole. Dettmer said many servicemen and women return from combat experiencing post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and have difficulty adjusting to normal family life, cooking for themselves, finding work, paying bills and finding a place to live. Rick Olseen, regional aide to Congressman Rick Nolan, pointed to frustrations experienced by veterans participating in the Veterans Choice health care initiative, which enables local vets to seek medical treatment from local providers if they live more than 40 miles from the nearest VA Medical Center. Olseen said every veteran in Pine and Kanabec counties would qualify for the program because the nearest VA Medical Center is 80 miles away; but he acknowledged that “it’s a nightmare,” with veterans reporting difficulties getting services, getting bills paid and dealing with collection notices from providers. “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t,” Pine County Veterans Service Officer Ben Wiener replied, saying the program is not designed for emergency care or illnesses veterans have already been treated for. HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS Homelessness also is a big concern. One person in the audience said he knows of 10 veterans in Pine County alone who are homeless. Many have PTSD and they don’t know how to take care of themselves or pay their bills. Compounding the problem, the Veterans Administration won’t send their checks to a post office box, he added. Wiener said he knows of some veterans in Pine County who have been homeless and he tries to put them in touch with county, state and federal resources that can help veterans stay in their homes or find suitable housing, but he pointed out that veterans “don’t report if they are homeless” so it’s hard to identify them and their individual needs unless they self-report. Kanabec County Veterans Ser-

vice Officer Lowell Sedlacek concurred. “We have a few homeless veterans in Kanabec County,” he said, stressing that health and human services programs administered by the county can help veterans pay their rent or buy a tank of fuel. “We also collaborate with Lakes & Pines and the Salvation Army to keep vets in their homes,” he added. Residents who know of veterans in need of help are asked to contact Ben Wiener at 320-216-4250 or Sedlacek at 320-679-6380. In an effort to become more responsive to the needs of veterans, Minnesota Commissioner of Veterans Affairs Larry Shellito, former adjutant general of the Minnesota National Guard, answers his own phone. A new Minnesota Interagency Council on Homelessness, comprised of the commissioners of 11 state agencies and Lt. Governor Tina Smith has launched a plan to end veteran homelessness statewide. A Veteran Rapid Response Team is available to help veterans connect with social workers, find a warm place to sleep and get food and other help. Anyone who knows of a veteran experiencing homelessness can also connect them with services by calling 1-888-LINKVET (546-5838). Asked whether the Veterans Administration problems with falsified medical wait-times has been finally resolved, Howe said some progress has been made but his personal view is that the situation is not totally resolved. On a positive note, Minnesota will host a national meeting of some 50-70 Medal of Honor winners on Oct. 4-8, which will provide positive exposure for Minnesota. Dettmer also noted the difficulty in finding enough veterans to serve in honor guards at funerals for other veterans, and opined that Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs may be asked to help fill that role.

Hundreds visit Vasaloppet Art Show in new location SUBMITTED

The Kanabec County Art Association sponsored a very successful Vasaloppet Art Show, which was held in conjunction with the Vasaloppet Races Feb. 11-14. The show was held downtown this year at the Bread ‘N Honey Annex. Over 570 visitors walked through the doors and viewed the over 80 works of art displayed by over 30 artists. Friday evening Mary Bruno, a graphic artist from St. Joseph, led a gallery tour, commenting on many of the pieces of art in the show. Visitors got to vote for their favorite

works of art in three categories. The top three vote getters in each category were: • Most Emotional: “Witness Burning Man” by Cindy Buck, “Out of Summer” by Carl Long and “My Country Tis of Thee” by Jacque Sabolik. • Most Creative: “Page One” by Natasha Fuller, “Hubbard Glacier Revisited” by Carl Long, and “Walleye” by Keith Ravio. • Favorite: “Wicklow Woods” by Jim Williams, “Out of Summer” by Carl Long and “Page One” by Natasha Fuller.

Princeton teacher Kent Lestrud announced to a gathering of supporters that he will seek the DFL endorsement for the District 15A House of Representatives seat in the November 2016 election. Lestrud will challenge Rep. Sondra Erickson and is running to put families, students and businesses first. “East Central Minnesota is a great place to live, work and raise a family. However, the issues important to our area aren’t being addressed at the State Capitol and too often nothing is getting done,” said Lestrud. “We can do better for our area and the entire state if we work together to do what is best for people and businesses, not what is best for any political party.” “I’ve heard from parents and grandparents who would like a better investment in education so that their children and grandchildren can at least have the opportunities that students in the past had. I’ve heard from families and businesses who are frustrated that nothing has been done to bring quality Internet

access to people in rural locations. I’ve heard from people that we need to improve, fix, and maintain roads and bridges. I’ve heard from people about the cost of their medical care. I’ve heard from people who are concerned about the walleye problem on Mille Lacs Lake,” said Lestrud. “These are issues that are important to many people. I will work hard as your representative to give these issues top priority and to work together with both political parties to get improvements that will make a difference for people and businesses. I will work hard to put the priorities of our community first, even if that means standing up to my own party. “I plan on working hard to earn the trust and support of the people in this area,” said Lestrud. “I

look forward to visiting with you soon about the challenges facing our state and how we can work together to make sure brighter days are ahead.” Born and raised in rural Minnesota, Lestrud joined the Minnesota Army National Guard when he was 17 and served six years in the military before receiving an honorable discharge. From 1991 to 1997 he owned a small business in Cambridge. In 1998, Lestrud began teaching math at the Princeton Middle School and is in his 18th year there. He and his wife of 17 years live in rural Mille Lacs County and have three children who attend public schools. They also have an adult son who lives in Northern Minnesota. District 15A consists of all of Mille Lacs County, Baldwin and Blue Hill Townships in Sherburne County, and seven townships in Kanabec County (Haybrook, Ford, Hillman, Peace, Ann Lake, Kanabec, and SouthFork.)

STATE BOUND: Mora wrestlers face No. 1 seeded Kasson-Mantorville FROM PAGE 1

School. Along with the entire Mustangs team, three seniors qualified to advance to the individual tournament: Drew Van Vleet at 126 pounds, Kevin Brockner at 145, and Tyler Tober at 170. Brockner won the section championship in his weight class; Tober and Van Vleet each came in second. Other Mora wrestlers who placed were seventh-grader Tommy Nosbush; freshmen Ryan Nosbush and Jon Smith; sophomore Konrad Blood; junior Ethan Pracher; and seniors Josh Bohnen, Nick Kelling, and Ethan Simpson. At the individual tournament Youngblom was named the section’s Coach of the Year, and assistant coach Dave Souba was named Assistant Coach of the Year. In his 19th year, Youngblom also reached a coaching milestone: 299 wins going into the tournament. “If the team places at state, that number will hit 300,” he said. “I’ll be the 50th Minnesota coach to reach that.” The Mustangs will begin the team competition this weekend against top-seeded Kasson-Mantorville. “Not the greatest draw in the world,” said Youngblom.

“They’re the real deal; arguably one of the best teams in the state, in all classes, and possibly ranked 20th in the country. They’ve beat up some very good teams. Everybody in the state is giving us zero chance of winning, so we can only do better than expected.” In the state tournament, Youngblom explained, five of the eight teams in each class get seeded. The remaining three, which Mora is part of, are drawn for matches by the top three seeds. Winners go to the semifinals, and the defeated teams go to a consolation bracket called a “wrestleback.” “We have seven or eight individuals who will have good matchups,” said Youngblom, “but they’ll have to wrestle fantastic matches for us to beat Kasson-Mantorville. We can’t get all bent out of shape about who we drew. We’re going to go at it one match at a time, and have fun with it. We match up pretty well with the fourth- and fifth-seeded teams, Scott County West and Wabasso/Red Rock Central.” “We’re hopeful to bring home a trophy. But, realistically, fifth place would be an outstanding finish for us.” Youngblom added that Mora’s

AUCTION

ninth-grade team also went to their state tournament this year. “Danny Schroeder, part of that team, had never wrestled in a varsity match before, but we were missing one of our better wrestlers,” he said. “And Danny got us a pin in the finals against Milaca/ Faith Christian.” Youngblom and the coaching staff are already looking ahead to next season. “This spring we’re going to graduate six of our starters out of 14 weight classes,” he said. “We’re already talking about what we’re going to do. We seem like we’re old, but not really: at the end of the regular season, wrestlers in our first nine weights had eight freshmen and sophomores.” “Our hopes for a strong finish next year have started to sink in. All the team stuff we do together in the off-season has really paid off. We’re planning on winning the section next year too.” The Mustangs’ first round in the team tournament begins at 11 am on Thursday, Feb. 25, with individual meets later that afternoon. All matches are at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Scott McKinney is a contributing writer for the Kanabec County Times.

John Schwinghamer competes at the state ski meet Feb. 11 and ﬁnished 41st overall.

Ski team ﬁnishes strong BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora Mustangs Nordic ski team wrapped up the 2015-16 season with a showing of both individual and team success. The boys’ team won the Section 5 Championship and advanced to the state tournament for the first time in 18 years and the girls’ team advanced two individual skiers to state. “We had a spectacular season,” said head coach Peter Larsen. “Despite the lack of snow, we trained hard and raced very well. The boys’ team won every meet they entered with the exception of the Mesabi East Invitational in early January, where they finished 10th out of 66 teams and the state meet where they finished seventh.” Last year Mora competed in Section 8, where the girls won the championship and the boys took third place. The girls advanced to the state tournament and finished in 15th place. This year, however, the team moved to Section 5. They anticipated meeting teams from the Metro area, which Larsen said didn’t happen as soon as expected. “Three races against new teams were canceled, either because of not enough snow or too cold temperatures. This meant that we ‘went in blind’ to our competition and only saw many of our competing schools at the Mesabi East Invitational. It was a disadvantage for us to not race them earlier. But it turned out to be a bigger disadvantage for the other schools, as our boys won the section.” Larsen said that the Mustangs were strong in Granite Ridge Conference races. “Early in the season Brainerd made an effort to upset the boys, but were unsuccessful,” he said. “The girls skied very well in early season races, close or ahead of Little Falls, our biggest competition in the conference.” “At the Section 5 meet the Champlin Park boys put together a good team, but we were well matched against them and won by 12 points. We had three boys in the top 10: senior captain Tom Woolhouse and juniors John and Michael Schwinghamer. The remainder of the boys team skied very well too. It was great to win the Section 5 Championship, the first time since 1998 that the Mora boys have qualified for state.” The girls had a great Section 5 meet as well, Larsen said, advancing two individual skiers to state. “Many eighthgrade girls stepped up and had breakthrough races. Senior captain Sadie Peterson finished 1:04 ahead of her closest competition after the morning race

and extended her lead to more than 90 seconds in the afternoon to claim the Section Champion title. She was followed by junior Mikaela O’bert, who finished sixth in the morning and fifth in the afternoon. Both girls qualified individually for state. The rest of the team had tough races in the morning, but moved up significantly in the afternoon. Andover, Champlin Park and Maple Grove out-skied our girls, particularly in the classic portion.” The boys’ team finished seventh in the state tournament, which Larsen sees as a great indication of the team’s strength. “We finished just ahead of Duluth East, a perennial powerhouse, and ahead of many Metro area schools. We also had our best individual finish since 1998, as Woolhouse finished 11th in the morning and fought his way up to seventh in the afternoon. John Schwinghamer also made an impressive feat: after finishing 63rd in the morning, he moved up 22 places to finish 41st in the afternoon.” Mora will lose its two captains and top skiers to graduation, Woolhouse and Peterson. Both qualified for the Junior National Championships in March, and both will attend the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay this fall with full scholarships in Nordic skiing. “I expect the returning skiers will continue their effort and continue to improve,” said Larsen. “I think the boys’ team can qualify again for state and finish higher than this year. I have high hopes for the girls’ team as well; I’m looking forward to watching them improve, and hope to bring this young team to state again in the near future.” “Next year’s captains are Michael Schwinghamer and Schae Singleton, both seniors next year. But I look to the rest of next year’s seniors for leadership: John Schwinghamer, Caleb Weinand, Gabe Nord, Max Krueger, Jackson Lennox, and Matt Ergen for the boys, and Mikaela O’bert, Claire Larsen, and Hunter Hyland-Lucking for the girls.” Larsen had great praise for the Mora ski community. “They were really behind us this year,” he said. “They helped shovel to create courses, found funding and volunteers to buy and run a snowmaker, and generally supported our team.” “I couldn’t be more pleased with the 2015-2016 season. Our athletes worked hard and showed perseverance. Their hard work paid off, and served as motivation for those still working to meet their goals.” Scott McKinney is a contributing writer for the Kanabec County Times.

Lions pounce on Panthers Feb. 19 was a spectacular night for the Ogilvie Lions boys as they dominated home court against the Onamia Panthers. The Lions earned a much-needed win with the score of 73 to 57. Consistent with the “never-give-up” attitude, senior point fuard Jake Drusch, will be missed next year for his determination and ball-handling skills.

Rob Sycks takes first at Fish Lake contest Fisherman Rob Sycks took first place at the 12th annual Fish Lake Improvement Association Ice Fishing Contest with a 2lb., 7 oz. northern pike on Feb. 20. Overall, 28 fish were turned in at the weigh station. Jim Bruce took second with a 2 lb. pike and Jim Jrothe took third with a 1 lb., 8 oz. pike. The event also included a gun raffle and many other prizes.

2015 licenses expire Feb. 29 Minnesota fishing, hunting and trapping licenses for 2015 expire Monday, Feb. 29. Licenses for 2016 now are available wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold, online at www.mndnr.gov/ buyalicense and by telephone at 888665-4236. All 2016 fishing licenses become effective Tuesday, March 1. New licenses are required for 2015 hunting and fishing seasons that continue past Monday, Feb. 29. Anglers who purchased the new three-year individual angling license in 2013 when it first became available must renew their license this year.

Anglers can help maintain and enhance Minnesota’s famed walleye fishing by adding the $5 walleye stamp validation to their licenses. The stamp is not required to fish for or keep walleye. Customers who purchase online via smartphone won’t receive a conventional paper license. Instead, they’ll receive a text message or e-mail that serves as proof of a valid fish or game license to state conservation officers. A printed copy of the text or e-mail also can serve as proof of a valid license. Ice shelter permits for 2015 remain effective through Saturday, April 30.

Tyler Heikes, 12 years old from Braham, caught and released this 25-inch walleye Feb. 6 on Mille Lacs Lake.

Afraid of being labeled a nut?

Two pilots are flying their plane when an alien spacecraft flew right in front of them. One pilot says, “did you see that?” “See what?” The other pilot says. “Oh, nothing, it must have been a reflection,” says the first pilot. “I think so” says the second pilot. They never talk of it again. They don’t talk about it because it’s too fantastic to believe. They keep silent because alien spaceships are not normal. They don’t talk about it because they may be labeled a nut. Mary went to the tomb with her friends to anoint Jesus with burial spices only to find the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb. An angel tells her Jesus has risen from the dead. What does she do? Mary runs to the disciples and tells them about it. Focus on Peter and John run off to check her story out. When they get there, they find the stone Faith rolled away, the grave cloths neatly folded, and the grave empty. What do they do? Rick Marcy “John do you see that?” “See what Peter?” “Oh, nothing I must be tired and my eyes are playing tricks on me?” “Me too, it’s just all the stress of what has been going on.” Then they go back home. Maybe Peter and John needed some time to sort things out, after all it was shocking. Or, they don’t talk because it’s just too fantastic an event to believe. Even though they saw Lazarus raised from the dead, resurrection is not normal. Then again they may not want people calling them a nut. Mary tells everyone, Peter and John keep it to themselves. Of all the things that happen in the Gospels the resurrection is the most important. Because of the resurrection we

know there is more than just this life. There is another life that is eternal, and because Jesus lives, we will live also. Not only is Jesus’ grave empty, but I Thessalonians 4:16 tells us that one day with the shout of the archangel our grave will be empty too. Wow. Amazing, fantastic, more than we can understand or comprehend. At church we all repeat “He has Risen” as if it is a normal everyday thing, but there is nothing normal about it. It is the fact that it is not normal that makes it so important. This brings me to the question of what I will do with this fantastic, extraordinary and unbelievable event? Will I be a Mary who runs around telling everyone who will listen that Jesus has risen from the dead? Or, will I be a John or Peter who goes home and keeps it quiet? Will we be excited about the fact that we have eternal life because Jesus conquered death and has risen from the grave? Or, will we be silent because this is not a normal event and we do not want people thinking we are a religious nut. We have celebrated Lent. We will celebrate Easter. This is wonderful, but who have we told about it? Who have we talked to about the resurrection? The empty tomb is not normal; it’s amazing and we should be like Mary, running to tell anyone who will listen. Why? Because Jesus’ tomb is empty and one day our tomb will be too. Me, I don’t care what people think as long as they know their tomb could be empty too. Rick Marcy is pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Mora.

The Student of the Quarter Award is a program designed by the faculty in order to give special recognition to those students at OHS who are doing exceptional jobs in their studies as well as their attitudes and activities. A student is nominated and selected each quarter for the middle level and senior high divisions. In addition to the recognition, SPIRE Credit Union, our sponsor, will be establishing a savings account in the student’s name. Our middle level student, Olivia Hudoba, was selected from the 6th – 8th grade level category. She is an 8th grader who is the daughter of Brian and Larisa Hudoba. Olivia’s teachers say she is hard-working, inclusive, friendly, and willing to help her classmates. She Olivia Hudoba is a member of the swimming, basketball, and Speech teams. Olivia is in the youth group at Lewis Lake Covenant Church. She has three dogs and hopes to be an elementary teacher someday. Maizy Burk, a freshman, is the daughter of Ben and Angie Burk. She was selected from the 9th10th grade category and is involved in basketball, volleyball, softball, Own It, and the Roar Squad. Maizy is a member of Lewis Lake Covenant Church and is in the youth group there. Maizy doesn’t have a favorite class because she likes different aspects of all subjects. She feels school is important because, “It helps you choose your path for the future by showing you what your interests Left to right, SPIRE representative Staci Norby, freshman are.” She recommends that students get involved and make friends at school while keeping a positive Maizy Burk, junior Breanna Carlson, and OHS principal Sue Davis. attitude. Maizy’s goal for high school is to continue to earn good grades, play sports, and reach 1000 points in basketball! Breanna Carlson, a junior, was selected from the 11th – 12th grade level category. She is the daughter of Trent Carlson and is involved in football, basketball, softball, Student Council, and the Prom Committee. She enjoys paintball, going to the zoo, and hanging out with friends. Bre’s favorite class in school is art because of the teacher, Mrs. Falen, who “is the best teacher I have ever had. She knows how to push me to limits I never thought I could accomplish. She is like a superhero to us 11th graders and I don’t know what we would do without her.” Breanna believes that succeeding in life will be easier if you do well in school. Her future plans are att ending the U of MN or Bemidji State University to become a pediatrician. Congratulations to these GREAT students for being selected as Ogilvie’s newest Students of the Quarter! A huge “thanks” to SPIRE Credit Union as well!!!
