Property use policy gets a makeover BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

CONTRIBUTED NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The 39th annual Snake River Canoe Race will start at 9:30 a.m. May 4 at the Hinckley Road Bridge on County Road 3 East. The course is about 15 miles long and the water level of the river is looking good. The race is typically the largest in the state with 150-200 canoes and kayaks participating each year. The water level of the river must be at least 2.75 feet on race day for the race to take place. The latest measurement was 6.2 feet on April 20. FOR RACERS Prerace registration is located online. Buses and canoe trailers are offered for transport to the race start. Arrive at the parking area north of the Kanabec County History Center before 8:30 a.m. Canoe number pick up and race day registration is offered at the Kanabec County History Center from 7:00-7:47 a.m and at the start of the race from 8:30-9:30 a.m. An awards ceremony begins after 2 p.m. Canoe finishers can qualify for either the Mora Classic Series or the Mora Motion Series.

With hopes of making hosting an event at a city property in Mora easier and more efficient, the city of Mora has approved a newly-revised policy designed to streamline the process. On Tuesday, April 16 the City Council approved a revised public property use policy, ensuring that events

at city sites are safe and running smoothly. The policy reads: “The City of Mora encourages events on public property and would like to help make them run smoothly. In doing so, it is important to balance the probable impacts of the event on the community with the desires of the event participants. To improve the chances of having a successful event and

maintain the quality of life for the surrounding community, these activities require permits.” The new application includes four steps: 1. Determining the type of event. The original policy set out “Category I and II” events, which have been replaced with “Facility Use” and “Special Event” permits. 2. Completing a checklist for either type. A facility use

application must be submitted at least 48 hours before the event; a special event application must be submitted at least 60 days prior. 3. Reviewing relevant policies. The application sets out specific guidelines regarding alcohol use, noise from entertainment, traffic control, parking and sanitation facilities. SEE MAKEOVER, PAGE 7

Price is Wright shop invites you to come on down BY PATTI MILLER NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Price is Wright Thrift Store officially opened for business on Friday, April 12. Located just north of the Snake River on the east side of Highway 65, Jill Stulen and her crew have been working diligently to create a unique thrift shop showcase. While the store offers many typical items often found in other thrift stores, Jill explained that she has plans to work collaboratively with other stores in the community. Her plan includes displaying a map of other businesses with similar flair located in Downtown Mora. “We want to become a destination for people to come and spend the day shopping at all the thrift stores, including ours,” said Jill. Jill has other plans too. The Oval Room will showcase items for those who may be looking for more so-

phisticated attire. Items suitable for a job interview or accessories that complete an ensemble. She hopes to give back to the community by collaboratively providing on the job training as well. Unique to this store is a special section offering items for felines and canines. Proceeds from those sales directly benefit the Kitty Krusaders Rescue group of Mora and their mission is to help stray and unwanted felines get needed medical attention and find loving forever homes. While donations are accepted, the inventory is mostly gathered from contents of abandoned storage units. Jill made sure to add, “We don’t want to take anything away from the other thrift stores. We are not competing for donations.” Customers are invited to “Come on Down” during regular store hours, Thursday – Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

uestion: Why have they not passed a law regarding animals hanging out a driver’s side window, paws on the steering wheel and animals jumping from the front seat to the backseat? I see this so often and most of the time it is elderly people, which I am. Turning the radio on and off is one thing, but an animal moving all over the car or distracting the driver is absurd. Answer: I agree that having a

FIRE CALLS Sunday, April 14: The Mora Area Fire Department was called to a report of a carbon monoxide alarm in a home in Knife Lake Township. The home detector was described as greasy, dusty and old. The ﬁre department used it’s equipment to test the home and detected nothing.

Friday, April 19: The Mora Area Fire Department was called to a grass ﬁre in Peace Township. Piles of grass and hay bales were burning, which affected a total of 7 acres of land. The grass ﬁre was prevented from spreading toward a nearby structure and wooded area. A total of 40-50 round bales were extinguished.

Sunday, April 21: On Easter Sunday, the Mora Area Fire Department was called to assist the DNR in extinguishing multiple grass ﬁres in Brunswick Township along Highway 70.

Sunday, April 21: The Mora Area Fire Department was called to a report of a leaking/venting propane tank at a home in Hillman Township. The ﬁre department was able to shut off the tank and enlisted the help of a gas company.

pet loose in a vehicle can be very dangerous to the occupants, the pet and others that are sharing the road with this vehicle. You are correct that there is not a law in Minnesota that directly covers this, but there is a law that covers obstructed view. The law could be applied in this situation. Animals can be very unpredictable and having one loose in a vehicle can and has caused crashes. All it would take is for the pet

to interfere with the driver’s view, steering wheel, brake or accelerator to cause that vehicle to become out of control. I investigated crashes where an unsecured pet had been thrown into other occupants in the vehicle, causing unnecessary injuries to the people. If you have a pet in your lap and the airbags deploy in a crash, the pet could be thrown into you, causing serious injury or death to you and your pet.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You may realize a long-term goal over the next few days, Aries. The sense of accomplishment can inspire you to try new things and set new goals.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 It can be challenging to balance private and public life, Taurus. Make a concerted effort to be open, but don’t overshare information, either. Work with others, if necessary.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your sense of security and routine is put to the test with a new visitor to your household, Scorpio. This visitor may require a few concessions on your part.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you want to have momentum, but something trips you up and slows you down considerably. You have to ﬁnd a work-around if you want to be happy.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try your best to breeze through interruptions at work this week. Your projects are all on schedule, and you want to keep them going forward.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Older, unresolved issues may bubble up this week and grab at your attention, Cancer. Seek out close companions who may be able to guide you through.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Your attention may be drawn to the material things in your life right now, Capricorn. It is okay to focus on the niceties surrounding you once in a while.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, consistency at work starts to shine through in your career status and progress at the company. Competition seems to fall away, and you take a leadership role.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Make some changes at home so that living spaces reﬂect your personality and desire for comfort and coziness, Aquarius. It can make for more harmonious living.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Showcase your talents to people unfamiliar with what you can do, Virgo. This renewed enthusiasm may inspire you and others going forward.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 You may be at a loss for words because distractions keep pulling you in different directions, Pisces. Stay the course the best you can.

Men ages 20-60 are least likely to wear a life jacket. They are also most likely to

drown. BY MN DNR WWW.DNR.STATE.MN.US

April 25 - May 1 Week of

For your pet’s safety and the safety of other passengers in the vehicle, take the extra time and effort to secure your pets in a proper pet carrier.

With waterways across the state clearing of ice, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds anxious boaters that wearing a life jacket is a critical safety necessity during the spring “cold water” season. While boaters should always wear a life jacket no matter the water temperature or season, public safety officials stress wearing a life jacket – not just having it on the boat – is the one action that significantly increases the chances of surviving a fall into cold water. “The shock of falling into cold water triggers your gasp reflex,

which more than likely means inhaling water,” said Lisa Dugan, DNR boating safety representative. “Wearing a life jacket gives you a fighting chance to get your head above water, stay calm instead of panicking, and call for help before hypothermia sets in.” Though air temperatures continue to rise, water temperatures statewide are still dangerously cold – cold enough to cause the gasp reflex and incapacitate even strong swimmers in less than one minute. In Minnesota, more than 30% of boating fatalities occur on cold water, and accident records show the victims are disproportionately male.

“Over the past decade, we’ve seen a steady and troubling trend that indicates men between the ages of 20 and 60 are the most likely to drown while boating, and are the least likely to be wearing a life jacket,” Dugan said. “Cold-water drowning victims in Minnesota are also much more likely to be anglers than any other type of recreational boater. Add this up, and it’s clear that if male anglers were to put their safety first and put on their life jackets, a significant percentage of boating deaths could easily be prevented.” More information is available at mndnr.gov/boatingsafety.

Everybody, just get out-out-out

or those poor parents who are subjected to the cartoon, “Bubble Guppies,” I wonder if you too can resonate with Mr. Grouper’s line up/get outside song: “Here we go, here we go, here we go, everybody line up, here we go outside! Everybody, let’s go, go, go, go, g-get out-out-out-outout-out-out-out-out-outside!” Rather than an enthusiastic fish who wants kids to have fun and play — I hear an exasperated man who just needs a quite minute and is begging those little students to get the heck out. Maybe it can be both. The reason or emotion behind it doesn’t Editor matter because getting outside is good for both the kids and the Kirsten Faurie adults.

A SLUGGISH EXPLORER My 2-year-old’s latest and favorite find at the public library is a book called, “Explorers of the Wild” by Cale Atkinson. From the title you can understand the concept: two characters wander the woods, exploring nature with their various senses. Meanwhile, the reader can explore and find different things in the illustrations. My daughter always points out a slug and calls it “momma slug” (I don’t know why the slug was most representative of “momma,” but let’s not dwell on it). When we head outside, my girl has become quite the explorer herself. Things like the soft moss, or squishy mushrooms, rough bark or stinky skunk smell are all newly fascinating to her. Together we discovered the skull of a rabbit in the garden —that was quite an extraordinary find for us explorers. We poked at it and talked about teeth, brains and eyes. Maybe gruesome, definitely educational. It reminded me how thankful I was to have grown up with free access to the woods. We know playing and learning in nature is good for children (see this weeks Talking with the Experts on page 6). Its our responsibility as parents to make sure we are giving our children opportunities to play outside. Getting outside is good for me too, because when I’m outside with her, I am present in the moment —not pacing around, fretting after dishes or laundry. Being outside without an agenda allows my brain just to rest and take in what is around me. As the momma, yes, sometimes I feel a bit like that slug in the book—slow to move, often resting on a rock or log. It gets easier over time. The more time I spend with her climbing over logs or hopping across stones, the less it feels like a chore. Maybe after enough time out this spring this “momma slug” will turn into something a bit more agile and quick paced. The weather is right for it, everybody, let’s go, go, go, go, get out-out-out-out-out-out-out-out-outoutside!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Broadband gap puts us on the sidelines To the editor, Portions of Kanabec and surrounding counties are part of the Not-Served-Nine-Percent of the state where access to high-speed internet is limited or non-existent. It’s tough to compete from the sidelines in a wired-world where information streaks along at gig-speeds while we struggle with patchwork technology to get what service we can. We can’t wait any longer for reliable, affordable high-speed broadband internet access - and it didn’t help that the broadband funding bill was vetoed last year. That’s all the more reason the legislature needs to adopt the House funding level, that incorporates the recommendation of Governor Walz’s and the MN Rural Broadband Coalition recommendation of $70 million over the next two years. We continue to work on more solutions to this issue. It is difficult to find providers willing to serve our area, but we need this funding source to continue the search. Please contact your legislators to support continued funding for rural broadband. Marc Johnson Mora

HEARD ON THE STREET BY KIM LUECK-FOSS At the Mora High School conferences on April 15, we asked the following question:

If you were on the Mora School Board and needed to make budget cuts, where would you ﬁrst consider reducing costs?

Elissa Schley Mora

JJohsey h B Boileau, il A Age 15 Brook Park

Jeremy Brasch Mora

Mary Eisenschenk Anoka

Tom Murray Maple Grove

Ginger Madison Mora

I don’t know what the budget is so I would have to look at all the information to make an informed decision.

The band, I hear it is expensive for both the individuals and the school.

I would take a serious look at staffing. Some don’t do their job very well, they come for a paycheck instead of the students.

I don’t know where they spend their money, I wouldn’t want to cut anything.

Theater is very near and dear to my heart, not knowing what the budget is, I can’t make a decision but I know it is important to keep the arts. I would not cut any art or music.

I would like to see more classes that teach basic living skills, so maybe look at cutting some classes that are not teaching those skills.

Rural Minnesota needs full broadband funding

hen it comes to broadband funding, Minnesota elected leaders deserve credit for recognizing that access to opportunity is not universal - even if talent in our state is. Since 2014 the state has appropriated $85 million to local internet providers through the Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program, to speed the pace toward meeting the goal of providing high-speed broadband access at minimum speeds to every corner of the state by 2022. While internet service providers jostle to compete for customers in densely populated cities and regional centers, the market gets pretty thin in deeper rural areas of the state where towns are sparsely populated and farm operations measure acreage by the thousands. That doesn’t mean MN Rural their access is any less crucial - and that’s where the Broadband state comes in. There is talent in every corner of the state, and no corner of the state should be left Coalition on the dark side of the digital divide. The Border-to-Border program has helped the Nancy Hoffman state reach an admirable 91% penetration rate toward the universal access goal, and has become a national model that other states are using to make sure they aren’t left behind. But the Minnesota program hit a snag last year. After four consecutive years of funding, the bill authorizing the 2018 appropriation was caught in a political cross-fire and vetoed by former Governor Dayton over issues not related to broadband. That stopped the program, and the progress needs to continue this year to make up for lost time. The good thing is that it can be done and we know exactly how much is necessary to put the program back on track. That number is $35 million a year for the next two years, or $70 million for the biennium. That’s the number the MN Rural Broadband Coalition and Governor Walz recommended to the legislature, and that’s the number a key Minnesota House funding committee sent to the floor last week. The companion committee in the senate is taking a different strategy, moving a bill authorizing a one-time appropriation of $30 million as its Border-to-Border position. We don’t think that is enough, but we understand and respect that positions are being established and negotiations are about to begin as the May 20, end of session deadline begins to emerge. Broadband funding is not controversial and we look forward to continuing to work with the senate to help them try and get their number up to something that would put this successful program back on the track. Agriculture and forestry are cornerstone Minnesota industries and need the tools to be able to compete in a gig-speed, wired world. Nobody doubts that the entrepreneurial spirit that built Polaris Industries, Arctic Cat, Marvin Windows, Schwann’s and other iconic Minnesota industries is alive and well in Greater Minnesota today. There is plenty of emerging talent and energy in every part of our state - and legislators can unleash that potential by continuing to prioritize full funding of the nationally recognized Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program.

NANCY HOFFMAN is chairwomen of the MN Rural Broadband Coalition. MRBC is a membership group representing individuals and elected officials as well as local government, economic development, educational, agriculture, healthcare, telecommunications and non-proﬁt organizations who advocate for better broadband in rural Minnesota.

Learning to let your child make mistakes can beneﬁt their growth CONTRIBUTED AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION

What parent doesn’t want to protect their children, to see them safe, healthy and happy? Such concerns are part of our DNA, inherited from our cave dwelling ancestors and their dangerous world. While today’s kids don’t need protection from saber-toothed tigers, there are still numerous ways for children to make mistakes. As parents we need to realize that some mistakes are “good mistakes,” errors in decision making that may result in the wrong outcomes, but that can be valuable learning experiences for our children. Parents always have a responsibility to try and keep truly dire, life-threatening consequences from occurring. But trying to ensure that children never make a bad decision, whether as toddlers, teens or even young adults, is really not doing them any favors. The modern term for overly-protective moms and dads is “helicoptering.” It describes parents who constantly are hovering over their child, trying to ensure that all goes well. It’s parents keeping in constant contact and trying to help their child make all the right decisions. Unfortunately, being over-protective can inhibit a child’s natural growth and independence. When Dad is up all night finishing that school science project, it isn’t helping

prepare the child for the future. Kids with overly-protective parents often have trouble making their own decisions because they know mom or dad is always there to jump in. Such children can also end up rebelling strongly as their desire and need for independence grows. And no, it isn’t always easy to give your kids room to make their own decisions, good or bad. However it’s important that they do so for healthy development. And parents can still be involved. You can be there while they work through their dilemmas and to help point them toward good solutions, but your job isn’t to find the solutions for them. Yes, you should be ready to step in when a child’s decision could be dangerous or life threatening, but giving your kids more space helps build confidence and independence. It encourages them to try new things, even things that might seem scary. You want to offer sympathy and understanding when things go wrong, but don’t always try to make things right. When a child is allowed to face possible failure, and even sometimes to experience it, he or she will learn valuable lessons about growing up. “COUNSELING CORNER” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

TALKING WITH THE EXPERTS

Nature is good for kids. We can prove it, but how do we encourage it? UNIVERSITY OF MN WWW. TWIN-CITIES.UMN.EDU

We tend to assume nature is good for kids – now we have convincing, converging evidence that supports our assumptions. In a research summary produced with the National Science Foundation’s support, researchers analyzed multiple peer-reviewed studies, pulling together streams of evidence to demonstrate that experiences in nature really do positively impact children’s development and learning. Now they’ve set forth an ambitious research agenda focusing on the most critical questions to advance the field of nature-based learning. Senior author Cathy Jordan, Ph.D., with the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment and the Medical School, as well as the Children & Nature Network, answers questions about how experiences in nature can boost children’s development and academic performance. What is nature’s impact on children?: Professor Jordan: At Children & Nature Network (C&NN), we like to say that nature makes children healthier, happier, smarter and better stewards of the environment. But let’s break that down with some examples. Children tend to be more physically active in nature-based learning and particularly nature play. This can improve ﬁtness, control weight and possibly reduce risk of chronic diseases related to being overweight. Contact with nature also improves recovery from stressful events and can improve mood and feelings of wellbeing. Learning and playing in nature – even just a view of nature from a window – can also improve cognitive functions such as attention and self-regulation, which can enhance the process of learning. Finally, when people have meaningful and relevant experiences in nature, they tend to feel an emotional connection to the natural world, develop positive environmental attitudes, and not only absorb information about protecting the environment, but also act on it. Providing such meaningful experiences in childhood is an effective way to grow environmental stewards. Speciﬁcally, why do you say that the natural environment is a resource for learning and development?: Professor Jordan: We often think about nature or greenery as a pleasant backdrop, but it can be so much more. As my colleagues and I reviewed

the published academic literature, we found evidence that nature has a restoring effect on attention; improves self-discipline; reduces stress; increases physical activity and ﬁtness; and promotes motivation for and engagement in learning. All of these effects have been shown to improve learning.

and take full advantage of its beneﬁts. What else are you doing to further research to promote understanding of how nature affects youth development?: Professor Jordan: Based on our literature review, as well as input from more than 100 educators, environmental educators, youth workers, researchers and others, our team has proposed a research agenda to drive the next chapter of research on nature-based learning toward the most important questions and the most rigorous research designs.

Nature also plays a role in classroom climate. When children benefit from nature-based learning and nature play, the effects follow them into the classroom – creating a calmer, quieter and safer setting for learning, as well as warmer, more cooperative relations among students. While none of these effects are entirely new, our review is the first time these lines of evidence from psychology, education, cognitive neuroscience and other fields have been pulled together. Taken together, it creates a stronger case for the importance of nature for learning and development. It also helps explain something that has been a puzzle for researchers — why even small doses of nature sometimes have surprisingly large effects. The key to the puzzle lies in how these effects work together, in a student and in a classroom. Nature exposure might make a student not only more attentive, but also less stressed and more interested in learning. And if you have a whole classroom of students who are less stressed and more cooperative, attentive, interested and absorbed, you can begin to see how the individual and classroom level impacts multiply. What was the most surprising thing you learned in examining the studies you reviewed?: Professor Jordan: We assume that nature is good for kids. We often remember our own nature-based experiences as pleasant and formative, sometimes even transformative. Yet until recently, the research attempting to demonstrate nature’s impact on children’s learning and development has not been very compelling, with a large number of studies with relatively weak designs and, unfortunately, overly optimistic claims. When we launched our literature review, we were expecting to come up with more questions than answers. Instead, we found that the research has been getting more rigorous: Findings have been replicated in multiple contexts; researchers have begun to illuminate the mechanisms underlying the findings; and results entirely outside the study of nature and learning are pointing to the same conclusions. With such converging evidence, we can now be more confident that nature really is good for kids.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Cathy Jordan, Ph. D. is an associate director at the University of Minnesota’s Institute of the Environment and an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Medical School. How can childcare centers, schools and other academic organizations include nature in their academic programs?: Professor Jordan: In order for children to reap the beneﬁts of nature for learning and development, there needs to be access to nature, teachers prepared to use nature effectively, and support for nature-based learning by administrators and parents. Access to nature means that either the school’s campus needs to offer a variety of natural areas or students need to be able to visit nearby natural areas on a regular basis. Teacher preparation programs and professional development opportunities need to offer educators training in nature-, place- and inquiry-based educational approaches. It’s hard to be the only teacher using nature-based approaches. Individual teachers will be most successful when they’re part of a team of nature-based educators who have the support – including ﬁnancial backing – of their educational leaders. Parents can help by making sure children are prepared to dress appropriately for the outdoors and by encouraging a connection to, and comfort with, nature through family activities in the outdoors. It is our hope that isolated efforts by some teachers will spread and eventually become mainstream practices. Teachers who have pioneered nature-based instruction should serve as models, helping others address its challenges

Some of the questions we posed seek to deepen our understanding of how learning in nature affects what children learn, how they learn and how it varies based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnic background, special needs and individual differences. Other questions seek to ﬁnd causal explanations for observed outcomes, such as whether decreased stress, improved attention, or enhanced engagement might explain the relationship between learning in nature and academic success. To create optimal conditions for nature-based learning, the research agenda also includes practical questions about how to prepare teachers to work successfully in nature and how to support their adoption of this approach. This research agenda also suggests a few questions that have the potential of uncovering relationships between nature and learning that could be “game changers.” For example, might learning in nature prove to be relatively more effective for those students most at risk for academic struggles, thereby narrowing the academic achievement gap? The answers to these sorts of questions could fundamentally change the practices of policymakers, educators, school administrators, urban planners, designers, and park and nature center staff; improve outcomes for kids; and reduce the societal cost of education. It is time to take nature seriously as a resource for learning.

CATHY JORDAN, Ph. D. is an associate director at the University of Minnesota’s Institute of the Environment and an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Medical School. She is the consulting research director for the Children & Nature Network. Jordan is a pediatric neuropsychologist by training and has a scholarly interest in the salutary effect of the environment on human development. Her work focuses on promoting research endeavors to understand child health, learning and development through play in nature and nature-based education.

Create a tangy, savory tartar sauce right at home Seafood can be a healthy addition to anyone’s diet, and there are plenty of ways to cook fish. Seafood is often made even more delicious with the right accoutrements — such as a tasty dipping sauce. Tartar sauce long has been the peanut butter to seafood’s jelly. Seafood and tartar sauce is a common pairing, particularly for baked or fried dishes. Tartar sauce features a base of either mayonnaise or aioli. The vinegary, creamy base is enhanced with pickled treats, such as capers, gherkins, pickles or relish. Tartar sauce has appeared in cook-

books since the 19th century. It is believed to be derived from the French sauce tartare, which was named after the Tartare ethnic group who once occupied parts of Ukraine and Russia. In Turkey, a condiment known as tarator has traditionally been used as a condiment for fried seafood. There are many different variations on the tartar sauce recipe. This recipe, courtesy of the Food Network, is one that seafood lovers can try. Home chefs can substitute capers or add fresh herbs like dill to expand the flavor profile.

Farmers can apply for conservation funding CONTRIBUTED NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The next deadline for Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) applications to be considered for funding this year is May 10, 2019. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to invest up to $700 million for new enrollments and contract extensions in fiscal year 2019. The 2018 Farm Bill made several changes to this critical conservation program, which helps agricultural producers take the conservation activities on their farm or ranch to the next level. “CSP continues to be a very effective tool for private landowners working to achieve their conservation and management goals,” NRCS Chief Matthew Lohr said. “It is the largest conservation program in the United States with more than 70 million acres of productive agricultural and forest land enrolled.” While applications are accepted throughout the year, interested producers should submit applications to their local NRCS office by May 10, 2019, to ensure their applications are considered for 2019 funding.

4. Contacting city staff. The application may require involvement by the City Property Coordinator, the Public Works Director, the Administrative Assistant/Deputy Clerk, the Building Official, the fire department or the sheriff’s office. A special event application is then reviewed by City Administrator Lindy Crawford, who submits it to the Council for approval. Events like the Vasaloppet may also require approval from Kanabec County, for matters such as road closings. Crawford said the policy was first established in 2017. “Feedback we received told us the process was confusing, both for the applicant and for the city staff,” she said. “It wasn’t anyone’s fault; we just realized we weren’t asking the right questions.” “The new procedure was used to set up the 2019 Vasaloppet, and it went very smoothly. It helped make the process more organized than in previous years. We were able to coordinate smoothly with the Vasaloppet committee and the county.” The new policy is designed to be efficient and equitable, according to Crawford. “We’ve tried to make it as black-and-white as possible. This helps ensure that everyone is following the same rules,” she said. The policy and application can be found online at the City of Mora website: www.ci.mora.mn.us.

CHANGES TO THE PROGRAM The 2018 Farm Bill authorizes NRCS to accept new CSP enrollments from now until 2023, and it makes some important improvements to the program. These updates include: • NRCS now enrolls eligible, high ranking appli-

• •

cations based on dollars rather than acres. For fiscal 2019, NRCS can spend up to $700 million in the program, which covers part of the cost for producers implementing new conservation activities and maintaining their existing activities. Higher payment rates are now available for certain conservation activities, including cover crops and resource conserving crop rotations. CSP now provides specific support for organic and for transitioning to organic production activities and a special grassland conservation initiative for certain producers who have maintained cropland base acres.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM CSP is offered in all 50 states and the Pacific and Caribbean areas through continuous sign-ups. The program provides many benefits including increased crop yields, decreased inputs, wildlife habitat improvements and increased resilience to weather extremes. CSP is for working lands including cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe. For additional information about CSP, contact Shannon Rasinski at 320-674-3012 or visit the website at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/ national/programs/financial/csp/

Rural areas bring additional challenges to seniors

he aging of America brings with it new and unique challenges. One in four of older Americans live in a small town or rural area. Our retirement years will be influenced by a range of factors like affordable housing, reliable transportation, healthy foods, social interaction, and access to healthcare. In rural Age-Old areas where Wisdom there is a lack of access to George these services, you will find Paulson

a higher prevalence of chronic disease, higher disability rates, lower prevalence of healthy behaviors and lower life expectancy. Living in a small town I’m concerned about the housing options that will be available when I need them. What should I do now to prepare?: An excellent question and a great place to start. Whatever your age, consider where you are living now and decide if this will be your choice for as long as possible; or are you interested in making some changes such as downsizing and moving to something more manageable. If you wish to remain in your current home, then research what support services are available to help you “age in place.” In the Mora area get informa-

tion from the Housing Authority and review the many options that they offer. Even though it may be years in the future, it is important to get on waiting lists now to assure availability when needed. If you think some type of congregate living such as assisted living is in your future, do your research now. Don’t wait for a crisis.

that bring meaning to your life. When we can’t continue these activities, we have those “bad days” and maybe even feel a little depressed. Don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor about these feelings and discuss depression with him. You may also have contacts in your faith community that may be of help.

I live alone, and my children are all out of state. I’m in relatively good health but some days I just feel terrible and I don’t know why. What’s going on?: For seniors living in rural or small communities, social isolation can be a major factor that affects our mental as well as physical well-being. Most people long for relationships and connectivity and this need increases with age. Social contacts are vital and it’s important to maintain activities

My car is my lifeline. I live 15 miles from the nearest town, so it is necessary for all my essentials. In addition, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to meet friends and go on short trips. My son is questioning my driving ability even though I have a perfect driving record. What are my options?: This question is on the mind of people across the country! Children are worried about their parent’s safety and seniors fear

losing their independence. For many of us that drivers license was the ﬁrst symbol of independence and losing it is unthinkable. Unfortunately, public transportation is limited in most rural communities and as you plan for your retirement years this should be taken into consideration. If a move is in your plans, check to see what public transportation is available or what other options there are to consider. Seniors are often challenged with visual or hearing losses which complicates the situation. Even so it is much wiser to be proactive in dealing with these situations rather than waiting until you have a crisis.

A baseball team would put Mora on the Map

125 YEARS AGO (1894) N. H. Danforth returned Wednesday from a several days visit in Duluth. Vegetation has made a big showing this week under the benign influence of the warm sun. Dr. J. Arthur Lewis inserted his professional card in this issue. Give the doctor a call when you need medical services. The loggers complain that the high water has carried a good many logs out into the woods and left them on high ground. A new post office has been established at Pokegama station, to be known as Brook Park. News from George H. Markham, Rush City, has been Yesteryear of appointed postmaster. J. C. Morrison is Matt Anderson erecting a commodious building on Union street south of the railroad track. The building is to be used by Benj. McPherson for a blacksmith shop. S. E. Tallman and sons, H. S. and Vet, were in Mora Wednesday. H. S., who has been U. S. deputy marshal, has been employed the past week among the strikers on the Great Northern. Mr. Campbell, the Princeton brick manufacturer, was in Mora this week with a view to disposing some of his brick. He manufactured over two million last year, but owing to the dull times he informed us that he would probably make very few the present year. Mr. J. Shaw, of Rochester, who has a claim in town 41-24, arrived here yesterday. He and his son were intending to come together with a carload of stock but had to postpone the shipment on account of the strike. “Editor Times:” Understanding that an innocent party has been accused of the heinous crime (?) of writing those few lines appearing in your paper some weeks ago over the signature “Justice” I desire to state that anyone wishing enlightenment as to the author may apply to me in person. - D. W. Cowan. “How Outsiders Look at It:” The Princeton Union says: “Kanabec county should build a good brick court house---one that will be ornamental as well as safe and substantial. As the TIMES remarks: ‘An extra expense of a couple or three thousand dollars should not be taken into consideration.’” “The Strike:” The strike on the Great Northern continues. President J. J. Hill and thirty-five representatives of the employees headed by President Debs, of the American Railway Union, held a conference on Tuesday but no settle for anything less than the wages that were in vogue one year ago. The company wants to arbitrate but the strikers do not and the probability is that everyone on the road will be ordered to quit work.

It’s a great old mark on Cedar Avenue.” The above item refers to Prof. Jorgens, one of Kanabec County’s landowners, who is making improvements on his farm each year and expects some day to make this county his permanent home. The item was taken from the “The Southerner” a paper published by the pupils of the South High School of Minneapolis. “Mora Should Have A Base Ball Team:” Indications are that there will be more activity in baseball in this section this season than in several years past. Many of the neighboring towns are organizing teams and we can see no reason why Mora should not be numbered with rest. We have always had a good team and if the boys will practice and pull together, there is no doubt but that they will receive good support from the base ball fans. Call a meeting, select a manager and show our neighbors that Mora is still on the map.

Last year he had a large group of Italian prisoners to help harvest last fall’s crop, but as Italian nationals are no longer available, this year’s group will be German prisoners, of which there are approximately 177,000 in the United States. 50 YEARS AGO (1969) “Sales Barn Will Move To Mora Site:” The S & M Livestock Sales, which has been located in Cambridge for the past 25 years, is moving to Mora, according to an announcement made this week by owner Barney Spencer. Final sale at the Cambridge location will be held April 29. Spencer said that the S & M Livestock Sales will be located in the former Mora sales barn about a mile east of Mora at the junction of highways 23 and the Henriette road. At the present time Spencer has workmen busy remodeling the interior of the barn for sales ring use. The opening auction will be held Tuesday, May 6. Miscellaneous auctions will be held there the first Tuesday of each month and will begin at 9 a.m. Livestock auctions will begin at 1 p.m. Spencer said that southern buyers are planning to attend the opening auction. He is moving his sales business to Mora because the highway will eventually take part of the area he is now using at Cambridge. He plans to move here sometime but for the present will maintain his home in Cambridge. “Fairview 4th, 5th Grades To Present “Spring Fantasy”:” The annual spring musical presentation by Fairview grades four and five will be presented at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 1, in the

LANCE FURBER | PINE CITY PIONEER

Minnesota DNR Conservation Officers and other uniformed officers stood in formation near the Pine Government Center, mourning the loss of Wynn, an 18-year veteran of the DNR.

Conservation officer dies on Cross Lake BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM

Pine City’s DNR Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn has died and a Pine County deputy was hospitalized after the two men were thrown from their boat while searching Cross Lake on April 19. According to reports from the Pine County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, on April 19 at about 7:44 p.m. Pine County dispatchers received a call from anglers fishing on the shore of Cross Lake. The witnesses reported a possible human body in the water. Wynn and Sergeant Scott Grice of the Pine County Sheriff’s Office joined other deputies in responding to the scene. They were not able to determine what the object in the water was from the shore. Wynn got his boat, and he and Grice launched the boat and motored away from shore.

Within a minute of leaving the launch both Wynn and Grice were thrown from the boat into the frigid water. They began swimming towards shore. Additional deputies, with the help of neighbors, procured a row boat and attempted to rescue the officers in the water. Rescuers successfully reached Grice and retrieved him from the water. He was later transported by ambulance to FirstLight Hospital in Mora where he was treated for temperature-related injuries and released. Wynn slipped beneath the water before rescuers were able to get to him. An intensive search was conducted by the Pine County Sheriff’s Office, the DNR and numerous other agencies, including the Minnesota State Patrol, the Wisconsin DNR, Chisago County Sheriff’s Office, the Pine City Fire Department, the Stacy/Lent Fire Department, St. Louis County Rescue and Essentia Ambulance.

Wynn’s body was recovered at about 1:35 a.m. The Pine County Sheriff’s Office reports that efforts have been made to locate the object that was initially reported, but have not been successful. They said there are no reports of a missing person and no further searches will be conducted at this time. Midwest Medical Examiners have conducted an autopsy and the cause of the boat accident that led to Wynn’s death is under investigation. ‘A DEBT WE CAN NEVER REPAY’ Wynn was 43 years old and an 18 year veteran of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources when he died in the line of duty on April 19. He is survived by his wife and two children. DNR officials stated that Wynn is the 22nd Minnesota conservation officer to die in the line of duty. “Words can’t describe the sense of loss we feel at this time,” said DNR

Commissioner Sarah Strommen. “Officer Wynn’s service to the state of Minnesota is a debt we can never repay.” Colonel Rodmen Smith, DNR Enforcement Division director, said, “Officer Wynn served the Enforcement Division, the DNR, and the people of Minnesota with distinction. We’re devastated by his loss and ask the people of Minnesota to keep Officer Wynn and his family in their thoughts during this difficult time.” “As a first responder, peace officer, and protector of Minnesota’s natural resources, Officer Eugene Wynn dedicated his life to keeping Minnesotans safe and making our state a better place to live,” said Governor Tim Walz. “Gwen and I send our deepest sympathies to his family and on behalf of the State of Minnesota, we thank him for his many years of selfless service.”

BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM

A Pine City man went from sick to desperately ill within the space of a few days this winter. He then spent three weeks in a coma as doctors fought to save him, as his family wondered if he would ever return home. And the disease that caused all this? The flu. Just the flu.

‘A LITTLE BIT FEVERISH’ Nick Fulweiler commutes from home in Pine City to work as a machinist in Coon Rapids. At the end of January, he started not feeling well. “He felt like he was getting a cold,” explained his wife, Tori Fulweiler. “A little bit feverish, on and off. Hot, cold. A little bit of a cough.” Nick did not receive a flu shot this year, Tori said. So when they went to the urgent care they weren’t surprised when he was diagnosed with possible influenza and bronchitis, and sent home with medication. They both thought: it’s the flu. He’ll be sick for a while, then get better. But the next day, at home, Nick collapsed. He was passed out with his eyes open and his skin going gray. “It was like someone was showering him with sweat,” Tori said. “It was pouring out of his entire body.” Their 14-year-old son called an ambulance, which brought Nick to the Fairview Lakes Medical Center in Wyoming. Nick was already unconscious. The doctors told Tori he had pneumonia. But Nick continued to decline. On Feb. 2, he was taken to intensive care and put on a respirator because he was drowning from the fluid in his lungs. That evening they transferred Nick to the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. Nick tested positive for Influenza A. Doctors explained to Tori that Nick had developed severe pneumonia as a result of the flu, which then led to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis – a condition where the immune system begins to turn against itself. Nick was put into a medically-induced coma, placed on a respirator and an Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machine, which pumps a patient’s blood outside the body and gets the oxygen into their blood that their lungs cannot. “They put two tubes into his neck,” Tori said. “It ran around his head. It took the blood all out of his body, oxygenated the blood and put it back in. And part of that process was so that his lungs didn’t have to do one single thing.” Tori noted that before he started the ECMO machine, Nick was running fevers up to 104 degrees and had to be icepacked to get the fevers down. After they started the ECMO, doctors were able to control his body temperature. Nick remained in that medically-induced coma for the next three weeks. Every day, Tori would ask the doctors if Nick was going to survive. And every day, she was told they couldn’t be sure. “For three weeks we didn’t know,” Tori said. “It was hour to hour if he was going to live, if he was going to die. It was agonizing for my kids, for myself, for our entire family. All because he chose not to take the flu vaccine. These are the complications that can happen. And people don’t see this.” FLU VACCINATION BEST PROTECTION Between Oct. 1, 2018 and March 30,

JUST THE FLU A vaccine preventable disease put a Pine City man in a ﬁght for his life

SUBMITTED

Nick Fulweiler spent weeks in a medically induced coma while a machine oxygenated his blood — all as a result of complications from inﬂuenza A.

2019, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there were more than 450,000 hospitalizations and 30,000 deaths nationwide due to influenza. The CDC notes that most people who get the flu will recover in a few days to less than two weeks, but some individ-

Is it all in her head?

uals will develop complications which can be life-threatening, including sinus infections, ear infections and pneumonia. The flu can create inflammation in the heart (myocarditis), in the brain (encephalitis) and muscle tissues. It can also cause major organ failure – including respiratory and kidney failure.

Depression isn’t something that’s “all in your head.” It’s a serious brain illness. Left untreated depression can lead to suicide. By knowing the signs of depression you may be able to save the life of someone you care about.

According to the CDC, receiving an annual seasonal flu vaccination is the best way to help protect against flu. Vaccination has been shown to have many benefits including reducing the risk of flu illnesses, hospitalizations and even the risk of flu-related death in children. Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body that provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine. The annual seasonal flu vaccine is designed to protect against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. The CDC acknowledges that – like all other vaccines –the flu vaccine isn’t perfect, but says it cuts the risk of illness between 30 - 60 percent in the general population. It takes about two weeks for the flu vaccine to work. The CDC recommends that everyone over 6 months of age get vaccinated, preferably in late September, but even into October and later. ‘IT STILL ISN’T OVER’ It was not until Feb. 22 that the family was told that Nick was going to survive. In March, he was finally able to leave the hospital and return home with his family. But besides the aftereffects of his illness, it will take months to recover from spending so much time in a medical coma. “He had to re-learn how to walk, how to feed himself after just three weeks in a coma,” Tori explained. She said doctors estimate it takes three days to recover for every one day in a coma. Nick is now doing regular physical and occupational therapy in Pine City, and hoping to go back to work as soon as he can. So is Tori, who was given time off from working as a paraprofessional in the Hinckley Elementary School. “It has been a struggle, trying to take care of our child, trying to figure what to do with the bills,” she said. “Now that he’s home. I’m his caregiver… until those functions come back. He’s walking with his walker now which is really good. We’re now into hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills and it still isn’t over.” Nick’s family and friends are planning a benefit on June 8 at the Pine County Fairgrounds from 4-9 p.m. and are currently collecting silent auction donations. For more information contact Amanda Wimmer at 612-390-6398. Donations are also being taken for the Fulweiler Benefit Fund at Northwoods Bank and at www.gofundme.com/helpfor-my-brother-in-law-and-sister. For Tori, relief over her husband’s recovery is mixed with a sense of urgency – reminding the community of the importance of flu vaccinations, and bringing awareness to the dangerous complications that could face a family member sick with the flu. She recently posted her story to Facebook, and said the response was overwhelming. “People were coming back with, ‘Seriously, the flu did this to him?’ Yes. And people are just not aware of it. There are 5-year-old kids who are dying from influenza because they didn’t get vaccinated. I know it’s a touchy situation with some people, but the more that people know the complications of influenza the more they could maybe say, ‘You know what? It’s really not that bad to get the flu shot.’”

Symptoms of Depression: Change in sleep • Low energy Indecisiveness • Weight change Lack of interest • Loss of focus Thoughts of death • Low self esteem Slowed/agitated behavior

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Nate Williams | Senior | Mora Track and Field Sponsored by: Novus Glass www.NovusGlassMora.com

Favorite thing about sports: I like being able to come here and hang out with my friends. I have found great relationships since seventh grade and it has opened a lot of doors for me and I have found many successes over time.

How do you prepare for a meet?: Mentally it starts the night before, I have to have a plan in my mind as how the race will go, I need to get a lot of sleep and follow a good diet, I stay away from sugar. Before the race my group will run a warm up and talk through the race, then we stretch and we are ready to go.

Highlight of athletic career: Cross country running got third place at state fall of 2018, we were projected to be eighth, it blew our minds, that was great.

Future goals: I plan to attend Pine Technical College for two years in exercise science then ﬁnish at a four year university, and in my free time train for the Mora half marathon, 5Ks and other races close to town.

Mustangs baseball leading off to a strong start BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

While other spring sports teams still await getting outdoors to begin their season, the Mora Mustangs baseball team is already off to a commanding start. After four games the Mustangs hold a 3-1 record, third place in the Granite Ridge Conference. They defeated Zimmerman, Milaca and Greenway, and fell to longtime rival Foley. Earlier games against Greenway and St. Cloud Cathedral were postponed due to weather. “There’s been ups and downs already this season,” said head coach Jay Pautzke. “Foley’s among the top five teams in the state in Class AA.” Last season the Mustangs finished second in Section 7 AA Subsection 1 and fifth in the GRC, and made a deep run in Section playoffs. “Last year we graduated seven seniors who were three-year start-

ers, so we’re a younger team this year with six seniors, eight juniors and three sophomores. A lot of our guys have plenty of baseball experience from advancing through the various levels. I find myself coaching and teaching things I haven’t had to address for years. It’s a challenge, but a pleasant challenge. It’s invigorating,” Pautzke said. “Jaden Ponto and Caleb Koch, both juniors, are hitting .500 right now and doing well on the mound. Junior Lucas Athey and sophomore Ben Wright are both strong hitters for us. Senior Drew Elvehjem is our captain, and does a great job getting on base and scoring runs. Senior Brycen Schritz has gotten timely hits, and we’re looking forward to getting junior Cole Steffen back in our lineup soon.” Section playoffs begin after Memorial Day, and Pautzke looks forward to Mora playing in section finals. “These are great guys to work

‘There’ll be ups and downs, but we hope to ﬁnd some consistency in the middle of the season ...’ Jayson Pautzke Head Coach best as Sections approach.” The Mustangs hosted Aitkin on Monday, April 22 and traveled to Albany on Tuesday, April 23. After an off day they host Becker on Thursday, April 25 before traveling to Duluth Marshall on Friday, April 26.

Juries face media challenges in the age of Twitter

he explosion of social networking and the ability of each of us to access billions of pieces of information and connect with literally millions of individuals over the internet can be viewed as beneficial to society as a whole. But technology advances much It’s In Your faster than our system of laws Court and the rules of the judiJudge cial system Stephen Halsey can react or accommodate them. A vivid example was the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that police must first obtain a search warrant before searching someone’s cell phone or smartphone for digital records. The rules of evidence have developed over hundreds of years to ensure that jurors hear only evidence that will assist them in the ascertainment of truth, that is, the facts of what happened. For exam-

ple, if you are charged with the crime of theft for stealing merchandise from a retailer, the prosecutor cannot simply show a video from the store showing your theft or just have a citizen testify that their friend is a clerk at the store and that their friend told them they saw you take the items. The testimony of that citizen is unreliable hearsay and, therefore, inadmissible evidence. Citizens serving on a jury are given strict instructions on their duties as jurors. They are instructed about what they can and cannot do as it relates to the trial. However, in this age of Google, Twitter and Facebook, jurors may not be inclined to follow the rules announced by the judge at the beginning and throughout the trial that they are not permitted to go to the scene of the crime or incident involved in the case, or conduct an independent investigation, or do research on the internet about the parties, attorneys, or reports regarding the case, or contact any of the parties or jurors on social media or discuss the case on social

media. Jurors may feel offended that the lawyers and judge are keeping information from them that would help them in deciding the facts. Trials, both short and lengthy, are at risk of mistrial and retrial due to juror misconduct. The following is an excerpt from a recent news article following the trial of Mexican drug lord “El Chapo”: Lawyers for Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán will seek a new trial after a report that jurors in his initial trial were following media coverage of the proceedings. (Motions were filed March 26.) Guzmán attorney Eduardo Balarezo cited a Vice News report in which a juror said other members of the panel violated the repeated instructions of U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan by following news accounts of the trial on Twitter and other media outlets. The jury of eight women and four men in the initial trial served anonymously amid tight security. The panel listened for nearly three months as prosecutors presented evidence that Guzmán reaped hundreds of millions

of dollars in profits by smuggling tons of cocaine and other illegal drugs into the United States over decades. Cogan, mindful of intense national and international media coverage of the trial, ended each day’s session by reminding jurors to avoid all news coverage and refrain from discussing the case with anyone. The juror who spoke to Vice News described several jurors ignoring the judge’s instructions and lying about it. For jurors, court findings of misconduct can result in sanctions, including potential contempt of court citations. (USA Today). So, will this wave of juror misconduct result in the disappearance of jury trials? I don’t think so. The right to a trial by a jury of one’s peers is sacred in American jurisprudence and it is unlikely that the misconduct of a few disobedient jurors will bring the end of the jury trial. Judges will simply have to find new approaches and technology to educate jurors and insure that they comply with the judge’s instruction on their duties. Judges explain at length that

the rules are intended to grant the parties a fair trial. Unfortunately, additional measures may include threatening jurors with contempt of court, or taking away electronic devices and cell phones during jury trials, not just during deliberations. Failing to insure that jurors follow the rules is harmful to the judicial system as a whole and, more importantly, may deprive citizens of their right to a fair trial. Mistrials and retrials result in a significant waste of time and money to the parties, lawyers and taxpayers, as well as inconveniencing jurors. Our system of justice depends on all participants, including the jurors, following the rules of fair trials as announced by judges. More information on this subject may be found at my blog on this issue: http://jurorsbehavingbadly.blogspot. com. JUDGE STEVE HALSEY, Wright County District Court, is chambered in Buffalo.

n May we start to lose our old friend Mars, which is dropping out of the evening sky after being a fixture there since last summer. The red planet has great staying power, thanks to being the speediest of the outer planets. But Earth is speedier yet, and now we’re starting to round the sun, Minnesota leaving Mars on other side of it. Starwatch theMars gets a last Deane Morrison hurrah, though, on May 7. If you look as soon as the sky gets dark, you’ll see a young crescent moon low in the west, just to the lower left of Mars. These two rocky bodies, plus two stars, form a nearly straight line that night. Below and east of the moon is Betelgeuse, in Orion, and high above and west of Mars is bright, multicolored Capella, in Auriga, the charioteer. Taking center stage in the south now is Virgo, a large but dim constellation with only one bright star: Spica. If you’re unsure which star it is, a waxing moon will be above it on April 15. Slightly below and west of the star is Corvus, the crow, a small constellation resembling a rather bent-out-of-shape square. High to the upper left of Spica, brilliant Arcturus shines from its kite-shaped constellation, Bootes the herdsman.

Jupiter, a morning planet since December, starts rising before midnight this month. It travels the sky between Antares, the red heart of Scorpius, to the west, and the Teapot of Sagittarius to the southeast. Just east of the Teapot, Saturn brings up the rear. Above Saturn hangs the delicate, curved Teaspoon of stars. The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is predicted to peak in the predawn hours of the 5th and/or 6th. This shower may deliver as many as 40 meteors per hour if skies are quite dark. Look to the southeast,

OBITUARIES

Glen Johnstone, of Mora, died peacefully on Friday, April 12, 2019, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was 90 years old. He was born on Oct. 22, 11928, on a farm in Hayb brook Township north of M Mora. His parents were G Gilbert and Ida Johnstone. T The family moved to Mora a after the death of his father. H He graduated from Mora H High School in 1947 and o opened a small service sstation in town. He enlisted iin the Army and was stattioned in Korea for a year iin 1951-52. He returned to M Mora where he and Jean were united in marriage on Dec. 27, 1952, at St. Mary’s Church. His business, Glen’s Tire, began in earnest at this time. He remained at the helm of the business until his retirement in 1990. He and his wife enjoyed 66 years of marriage and were blessed with 11 children: Kathryn Grafsgaard (Dave Olson), Washburn, Wisconsin; Margie Johnstone (friend Bob Hooper), Mora; Mary Miller (deceased); Dan Johnstone, Elk River; David Johnstone (Pam), Mora; Barbara Johnstone (deceased); Teresa Johnstone (friend Jason Petruska), Dolores, Colorado; Angela Nistler (Paul), Bemidji; Mark Johnstone (Stacy), North Branch; Anne Marie Johnstone (Jim Koepsel), Idaho Springs, Colorado; and Eric Johnstone (Laurie), Idaho Springs, Colorado. He was an engaged, loving family man. He and his wife would load all of the children into their large vehicle for weekend trips to the lake cabin near Brainerd, summer road trip vacations out west, ski trips and much more. He worked hard all of his life

to provide for his family, setting an example for his children of the value of hard work and responsibility. He and his wife were lifelong members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. He was active in the Knights of Columbus at St. Mary’s, the Mora History Center, the Mora Conservation Club and the Jaycees. He served on the Mora School Board in the 1970s and was dedicated to education. An athlete and avid outdoorsman, he was instrumental in establishing the Vasaloppet USA ski race in Mora in the early 1970s. This event continues to inspire community spirit and the advancement of Nordic skiing in the state and region. He served as president of the Vasaloppet Board from 1975-88. He received the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the Minnesota Nordic Ski Association in 2006. He was inducted into the Mora Mustang Hall of Fame in 2010 in recognition of his contributions as a student athlete. He completed the Worldloppet cross country ski marathon, a series of 10 races, with the last event – the Gatineau Loppet – in Ontario, Canada. He was a skilled and adventuresome alpine skier as well, teaching most of his children the sport. The land where Glen was born was very important to him and later to Jean and the rest of the family. A deer “shack” was built in the 1960s, and the family had many adventures “up north” in the woods and on the trails. He enjoyed planting and then later harvesting Christmas trees. He was an avid hunter and also enjoyed hunting trips out west with his sons and friends. He had an opportunity to crew on a cross-Atlantic sailboat voyage in 1992. He, his wife and their family later enjoyed many happy years at their home in Hovland, Minnesota, on the shore of Lake Superior. He and his wife were dedicated volunteers on the Border Route Trail between the U.S. and Canada, the Lake Superior Hiking Trail and all of the trail-making near Mora. A voracious reader, he had many interests and shared his knowledge and ideas on many topics,

history in particular. His books were very important to him. He was a lifelong learner; he had a strong interest in world events, travel and art and remained conversant on many topics until the end of his life. His wood carvings, drawings and paintings will be treasured by his family for years to come. A quiet and humble man, he was always ready with a listening ear, insights and assistance if needed. When asked about his favorite memories, he responded most frequently, “pulling the kids around the lake (on waterskis)” at the cabin, which he did for endless hours on his limited weekend time off. He was preceded in death by his daughters, Barbara Johnstone and Mary Miller, his parents, brother LaVerne and two infant brothers: Delbert and Wallace. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Jean; nine children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; sisters Elaine Johnson and Irene Dehkes; brothers Dick Johnstone and Larry (Luda) Johnstone; and many nieces, nephews, other extended family and friends. Those who desire may make donations in Glen’s memory to either Mora Dollars for Scholars at 400 Maple Avenue East, Mora, MN 55051, or the American Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, JDRF 26 Broadway, 14th floor, New York, NY 10004. The family would like to extend sincere appreciation to the caregivers and volunteers with St. Croix Hospice for the extraordinary care and support that Glen received the past several months. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church with Glen’s grandson Fr. Thomas Grafsgaard presiding. Military Honors were provided by the Mora American Legion Post 201. Inurnment was in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Mora. Arrangements were by the Akkerman Ingebrand Funeral Home in Mora.

Her gardens were lush and colorful and caught the eye of many passers-by, some who would stop and ask for a closer look – they were always taken on a yard-wide tour of her gardens. She was a caring and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sibling and friend. She will be remembered by family and friends as a kind and generous woman with a clever wit, ready smile and wicked sense of humor. She was deeply loved and will be missed by her family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Ray; her brothers Anton, Lawrence and Jerome Timmer; her sisters Irene Clark and Bernice Maas; her brothers-in-law Gerald Clark and Frank Maas; and her sister-in-law Margaret Timmer. She is survived by her two daughters, Florence Funk of Waynesville, North Carolina and Evelyn Pedersen of Hugo; two granddaughters, Amy Schowalter and Liberty (Mark) Caroon; five great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Ann Timmer and numerous nieces and nephews.
