Difficult planting decisions ahead for crop farmers

On track Mora athletes head to the State Track and Field Tournament

BY TERRY SALMELA NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The late winter, cold and wet spring have had area farmers scrambling to get their wheat, corn and soybeans planted. Recent warmer and drier weather this past week has finally allowed them to get back into their fields. “It’s been a heck of a spring,” said Kevin Carlson, chief agronomist and sales manager for Federated Co-op Agronomy Department. “The weather is fine now, but things are late. It has been a cool wet spring and it’s a slower growing season.” Rick Stromberg, sales representative for Pioneer Hybrids for 30 years who raises 400 acres of corn

BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora Mustangs boys and girls track and field teams closed out another successful season, with three relay teams and two individual athletes advancing to the State Tournament. “We had a really excellent Section meet,” said head coach Chris Goebel. “This group has been working very hard at trying to qualify, and they’re going to make the most of their time at State.” On Wednesday, May 29 the boys team finished third overall and the girls 10th in the Section 5A Tournament. Junior Taytum Klink advanced to State by taking first place in the 100 meter dash, and sophomore Kobe Swanson did the same by finishing second in the long jump. Three relay teams also advanced: the girls 4x200 team of senior Emily Yoder and juniors Klink, Trinity Rittenour and Johanna Schwinghamer; the boys 4x100 team of seniors Idris Anderson, Tysonn Peterson, Austin Voss and sophomore Jeff Lilienthal; and the 4x800 team of seniors Kaden Smart, Caleb Weaver, Nate Williams and junior Cooper Lennox. Last year Anderson, Lennox and Williams advanced to State as individual athletes. At sections Swanson broke the Mora High School long jump record, with a jump of 21 feet 5 ¾ inches. Goebel said that there were a couple of Mustang athletes who came very close to advancing to State.

Tim Franklin’s group of northern Minnesota print and digital news publications are now part of neighboring Northstar Media, Inc., a company owned by Gene and Carter Johnson. Titles sold include The Pine County Courier in Sandstone, Askov American, Hinckley News, Star Gazette in Moose Lake, the Evergreen shopper, Minnesota Flyer aviation magazine as well as related web and mobile sites, events and niche products. “I am blessed to find another family owner to continue to provide news and advertising to our longtime readers,” said Tim Franklin. “This is a sad day for me and also a happy day. I first and

foremost want to thank all the employees I have had over the years, past and present. Without them, we could not have produced award-winning publications year-after-year. They are family to me. I also feel blessed to have worked in this area for so many years, first in Pine County, then in Carlton County. The support from our readers and advertisers allowed us to grow from one newspaper and the Minnesota Flyer, to four newspapers, a shopper, the aviation magazine and then later the retail store in Sandstone.” “This fit is rather natural as we have adjoining newspapers,” said Gene Johnson. “Tim has been clearly committed to providing news and advertising in

Highway lines have speciﬁc meanings for driver safety

uestion: In my city, there is a double yellow line on the main roadway and yet some motorists cross both lines to park against oncoming traffic, many at dark with headlights on. Why is this allowed without warning or a ticket? Answer: A crash can occur anytime a driver chooses to cross over a solid or double solid yellow/white line. Engineers and safety personnel place these lane markers in areas where it’s unsafe to pass. Law enforcement take this type of violation very seriously, and we will educate the driver with enforcement action. If you are cited for this violation, it will go on your driving record and cost you out of pocket expenses for the fine and the possibility of Ask A increased insurance costs. When a driver crosses into the Trooper other lane of traffic, against a double Neil Dickenson yellow/white line a head-on type of crash could result in injury or death.

PAVEMENT MARKING MEANINGS

White lines separate lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction. A white line with dashes indicates that drivers can change lanes.

A solid white line indicates that lane changes are discouraged. Solid white lines also mark cross-walks, stop-lines at intersections, parking stalls and the edges of a roadway.

A line composed of yellow dashes indicates that passing is allowed.

A solid yellow line indicates that A solid yellow line may appear passing is prohibited. Passing in on one-side of the roadway, a no-passing zone is illegal. while a line composed of dashes appears on the other. Drivers must obey the marking that is present in their lane of traffic.

SERGEANT NEIL DICKENSON is Minnesota State Patrol public information officer for the state’s northeast region. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws in Minnesota, please send your questions to: Sgt. Neil Dickenson – Minnesota State Patrol at 1131 Mesaba Ave, Duluth, MN 55811. Or reach me at neil. dickenson@state.mn.us

A line of shorter and thicker white dashes indicates that the lane will end.

War correspondent chronicles soldier bravery The Horrible Waste of War BY ERNIE PYLE BORN AUG. 3, 1900, DIED APRIL 18, 1945

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 16, 1944 – I took a walk along the historic coast of Normandy in the country of France. It was a lovely day for strolling along the seashore. Men were sleeping on the sand, some of them sleeping forever. Men were floating in the water, but they didn’t know they were in the water, for they were dead. The water was full of squishy little jellyfish about the size of your hand. Millions of them. In the center each of them had a green design exactly like a four-leaf clover. The good-luck emblem. Sure. Hell yes. I walked for a mile and a half along the water’s edge of our many-miled invasion beach. You wanted to walk slowly, for the detail on that beach was infinite. The wreckage was vast and startling. The awful waste and destruction of war, even aside from the loss of human life, has always been one of its outstanding features to those who are in it. Anything and everything is expendable. And we did expend on our beachhead in Normandy during those first few hours. *** For a mile out from the beach there were scores of tanks and trucks and boats that you could no longer see, for they were at the bottom of the water

– swamped by overloading, or hit by shells, or sunk by mines. Most of their crews were lost. You could see trucks tipped half over and swamped. You could see partly sunken barges, and the angled-up corners of jeeps, and small landing craft half submerged. And at low tide you could still see those vicious six-pronged iron snares that helped snag and wreck them. On the beach itself, high and dry, were all kinds of wrecked vehicles. There were tanks that had only just made the beach before being knocked out. There were jeeps that had been burned to a dull gray. There were big derricks on caterpillar treads that didn’t quite make it. There were half-tracks carrying office equipment that had been made into a shambles by a single shell hit, their interiors still holding their useless equipage of smashed typewriters, telephones, office files. There were LCT’s turned completely upside down, and lying on their backs, and how they got that way I don’t know. There were boats stacked on top of each other, their sides caved in, their suspension doors knocked off. In this shoreline museum of carnage there were abandoned rolls of barbed wire and smashed bulldozers and big stacks of thrown-away lifebelts and piles of shells still waiting to be moved. In the water floated empty life rafts and soldiers’ packs and ration boxes, and mysterious oranges. On the beach lay snarled

rolls of telephone wire and big rolls of steel matting and stacks of broken, rusting rifles. On the beach lay, expended, sufficient men and mechanism for a small war. They were gone forever now. And yet we could afford it. We could afford it because we were on, we had our toehold, and behind us there were such enormous replacements for this wreckage on the beach that you could hardly conceive of their sum total. Men and equipment were flowing from England in such a gigantic stream that it made the waste on the beachhead seem like nothing at all, really nothing at all. *** A few hundred yards back on the beach is a high bluff. Up there we had a tent hospital, and a barbed-wire enclosure for prisoners of war. From up there you could see far up and down the beach, in a spectacular crow’s-nest view, and far out to sea. And standing out there on the water beyond all this wreckage was the greatest armada man has ever seen. You simply could not believe the gigantic collection of ships that lay out there waiting to unload. Looking from the bluff, it lay thick and clear to the far horizon of the sea and beyond, and it spread out to the sides and was miles wide. Its utter enormity would move the hardest man. As I stood up there I noticed a group of freshly taken German prisoners standing nearby. They had not yet been put in the prison cage. They were

just standing there, a couple of doughboys leisurely guarding them with tommy guns. The prisoners too were looking out to sea – the same bit of sea that for months and years had been so safely empty before their gaze. Now they stood staring almost as if in a trance. They didn’t say a word to each other. They didn’t need to. The expression on their faces was something forever unforgettable. In it was the final horrified acceptance of their doom.

About Ernie Pyle The son of tenant farming parents in west-central Indiana, Ernie Pyle became history’s greatest war correspondent. When Pyle was killed by a Japanese machine gun bullet on the tiny Pacific island of Ie Shima in 1945, his columns were being delivered to more than 14 million homes according to his New York Times obituary. During the war, Pyle wrote about the hardships and bravery of the common soldier, not grand strategy. His description of the G.I.’s life was more important to families on the home front than battlefront tactics of Gens. Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton or Omar Bradley. Prior to the United States’ entry into World War II, Pyle traveled to England and wrote about the Nazi’s continual bombing of London. His columns helped move the mood of America from isolationism to sympathy for the stubborn refusal of Great Britain to succumb to the will of Adolf Hitler. The Pulitzer Prize winning journalist’s legacy rests in his words and the impact they had on Americans before and during a war that threatened to take the world behind a curtain of fascism. His columns open a window to the hardships endured by the common U.S. soldier during World War II and serve today to honor what has been called “The Greatest Generation.” For more information, visit www.erniepyle.org.

Five cent cup of coffee vanishes; era ends 125 YEARS AGO (1894) House seekers are coming here daily. Republican town caucus tonight at the town hall. A number of our citizens visited the camp meeting at Grass Lake last Sunday. L. A. S. Sewing Circle will meet at Mrs. Gussie Richardson’s home tomorrow afternoon. N. HalvorNews from son and C. E. Yesteryear Williams are up Matt Anderson putting new woven wire fences in front of their homes. Messrs. J. B. Gorham and the scribe and their families picnicked at Devil’s Lake last Sunday. The social at the church last Saturday night was well attended. The proceeds amounted to $6.75. S. W. Anderson is erecting a residence on the west side. It is to be 22x26 and two stories high. We have the authentic information that a banking institution will be opened in Mora about July 1st. It will be an institution much needed here. A freight train broke in two this side of Ground House last Sunday and the rear section collided with the forward, wrecking three boxcars loaded with wheat, demolishing the cars entirely. A movement is on foot to celebrate the Fourth. We will be able to make a more definite report next week. The village school closes for the summer, today. The teachers and pupils will participate in a picnic in Mr. Danforth’s park this forenoon. 100 YEARS AGO (1919) “Chippewas Start Community Farm; Mille Lacs Field Divided Into Plats and Each Family to Work One Plat:” Tribe at Mille Lacs Lake is venturing on the experiment of operating a farm in common. Chippewa Indians living in the Mille Lacs Indian village near Vineland have made a new departure this spring. For the first time in the history of Mille Lacs county a communi-

ty farm has been established by the twenty or more Indian families at Mille Lacs lake. Cucumbers will be the main crop raised. A large salting factory at Wahkon was the main factor in the decision of the Indians to become “pickle raisers.” They will also grow enough corn for their horses and family use. “The Boys Are Coming Back; Big Victory Celebration At Mora on July 4th---Preparations being Made:” Preparations are being made for an all-county celebration to be held at Mora on Friday, July 4th. The boys are coming back and it is the intention of our citizens to make this the best celebration ever pulled off in Kanabec County. It will be home-coming day, and the Red Cross organization assisted by other organizations will join in making it a grand success. Committees are being selected and work will be commenced at once. “Must Register Autos:” According to a law passed by the last legislature it will be

necessary for anyone who buys or sells an auto after July 1st to register it at the office of the Register of Deeds and obtain a certificate of title which goes with the car. This will no doubt be unwelcome news to auto thieves. All sales or transfers of motor vehicles, unless registered, are declared void after the law becomes effective. A maximum fine of $100 or 90 days in jail will be the sentence drawn by those who do not register their machine. 75 YEARS AGO (1944) “Rivers Swollen By Downpour; Heavy Rains of Past Week Overflow Highways and Low Lands:” Last Sunday’s rain, together with previous rains, has caused all streams of the county to reach almost record high points. The waters are now receding in the upper part of the county but continue to rise in the Grasston territory. Yesterday forenoon the water was over the east dump of the Grasston main bridge with the smaller east bridge about four inches under water.

The low point on the highway west of the Diner and 100 feet of the dump at Mud Creek is overflowed. Water reached the top of the south dump of the Snake river bridge south of Mora but did not overflow. At Quamba highway 23 was overflowed by Mud Creek, but is now passable. South of Ann Lake store highway 56 was covered by two feet of water for a day. Many side roads were under water temporarily. Last Saturday night and Sunday nearly three inches of rain fell in Mora. On June first the precipitation was two-thirds of an inch but in the northern part of the county it reached two inches. 50 YEARS AGO (1969) Fishermen and cabin owners must be the most long-suffering drivers in the world. Driving back to Mora from the Cities Sunday afternoon was like traversing the length of a 75-mile inchworm. It was nearly bumper to bumper southbound all the way--and

from the end of the Braham cutoff, the continuous procession didn’t seem to be moving faster than 10 or 20 miles an hour. We hope they all had fun over the long weekend, because they certainly paid for it on the way home. “5 Cent Cup of Coffee Vanishes; Deluxe Closes - Era Ends:” The tearing of the wrecking bar, the banging of hammers, the shrieking of resisting nails echo through the old Williams building on the corner of Railroad avenue and North Union street. The building is being remodeled for a new restaurant. Okey’s store, which formerly occupied the south part of the building, has already moved to its new location on South Union street. Cora Battle, who operated the DeLuxe cafe for 13 years, has closed her business and is preparing for an auction. The closing of the DeLuxe cafe marks an end of an era-for with it, the 5-cent cup of coffee vanished from the Mora scene. Cora has been a hold out against the rise in coffee prices. People knew they could get a steaming hot, fragrant cup of coffee there for just five cents, and coffee time found her busy serving customers. “Bid Awarded For Knife Lake Rest Area Project:” Apparent low bids totaling almost $600,000 were received May 23, on 14 rest area construction jobs by the State Highway Department. The proposed work includes erection of rest area buildings, installation of wells, landscaping and erection of lighting systems. 25 YEARS AGO (1994) “Auditions set for Great Hinckley Fire play:” Audition dates have been set for the theatre productions that will take place during the commemoration of the Great Hinckley Fire from Sept. 1-4 in Hinckley. THE NEWS From Yesteryear is compiled by Matt Anderson from the Times historical editions housed by the Kanabec History Center. The “News from Yesteryear” contains articles published in historic issues of the Times. The articles may contain language with ethnic and racial prejudices that were once common but are no longer acceptable in today’s society.

Farmers tried to catch up with corn and soybean planting.

FARMING: ‘A poor crop is better than no crop’ FROM PAGE 1

and soybeans south of Mora said, “2014 was the worst year of my career. This year was setting up to be the second worst. However, when the sun comes out farmers’ attitudes change and they want to plant. No one has said that they were going to give up.” There were a few warm and dry days in mid-May when farmers got wheat planted and a start on corn and soybean planting. What got planted at that time has emerged and looks good. It has benefited from the rains in May and the recent warm and drier weather. PLANTING PROGRESS Roger Peterson, district sales manager for Gold Country Seeds whose sales territory goes from the Twin Cities to the Canadian border said on Friday morning, May 1, that 50-60% of the corn had been planted in this area. However, he added that by the end of Friday, May 1, and last weekend that number would increase. He added that on sandy soil corn got planted. However, heavy low or clay ground was a few dry days away from being planted. Carlson and Peterson also compared this spring to 2014 when there was so much prevented planting. Carlson said that wheat got planted in the early window of nice weather and a lot of corn got in to make it about 75-80% planted in his territory from west of the cities to western Wisconsin and north to Rush City and Ogilvie. All three said that only 10% of the soybeans which is a warm season crop had been planted in the area as of last Thursday, May 30. In general, all crops were two weeks behind and a lot of farmers have switched to earlier season 8085-day corn. Carlson added that we need a window of warmer and dry weather to dry up the fields enough to finish planting. “The jet stream has to change,” he said. Chad Barnick of Barnick Agency and crop insurance sales person also raises 1,200 acres of wheat, corn and soybeans near Coin in southern Kanabec County. He said that he had all of his corn and one-third of his total acres planted by last week. He was busy planting the rest. In May he had only four days when his soils were ready to plant. His corn that had been planted was coming up and looked good. In wet areas there is a chance of root rot. Jason Zastera who farms west of Pine City in Pokegama Township said that his wheat and 700 acres of corn and soybeans were planted. He said that they are looking pretty good and he was going to do

some spraying on Friday, May 31. WHAT ARE FARMERS’ OPTIONS? Farmers with crops to plant have a couple of options. For corn and soybeans that were not planted, farmers can plant later than usual and likely end up with lower yields than with earlier planting. Or, if they have crop insurance, they can apply for a prevented planting payment. However, if they apply for prevented planting, they must control the weeds by either tillage, herbicides or by planting a cover crop. University of Minnesota Extension recommendations are that it is safe to plant soybeans until June 10 to 15 and still get 75 -80% of a crop. Carlson said, “I have seen 40 – 45 bushels per acre soybeans when planted in June when the weather cooperated.” “I hope farmers will still plant rather than take prevented acres,” added Carlson. “We’ll have some prevented acres. However, if farmers do not plant, they need to plant a cover crop to keep the weeds down, or keep it tilled. We recommend a mix of four to five different annual crops that will die with winter. Barnick said that with crop insurance that the prevented planting deadline for this area for corn was May 31 and for soybeans is June 10. If you choose to plant a cover crop you cannot hay or graze it until after Nov. 1. But you can till it under. However, if you are in an NRCS program that pays for a cover crop you cannot till it in the fall. For prevented planting 55% is guaranteed for corn and 60% for soybeans. It is calculated on a combination of a 10-year average yield and whichever coverage option that a farmer selects between yield or revenue. He added that in 2014, he tilled in a cover crop in the fall and had a record yield the next year in 2015. With prevented planting there are so many rules that he encouraged farmers to talk to their agent before deciding. He predicted that over half of the farmers will have some prevented planting acres. He did not believe that a decision has been made yet as to whether or not farmers who take a prevented planting payment can also receive a government tariff payment. If you do not plant, it can take two to three years for the soil micro-organisms to recover. You also lose the potential of a partial crop if we get favorable growing conditions. “A poor crop is better than no crop,” said Stromberg. He said that a few of his seed customers were switching from 91 to 82-day corn. Last year 82-day corn

planted May 8 yielded 175 bushels per acre. 82-day corn planted on June 1 this year will not reach that yield, but there is still potential for a respectable yield. If you do not plant, it may be a chance to do some tiling, rock picking and build soil organic matter by planting a cover crop added Peterson. OUTLOOK The middle states in the U.S. are even worse off than we are according to Carlson. With their wet conditions and lack of good planting weather in the corn belt, it is possible to now contract corn for over $4.00 per bushel. Peterson indicated that most farmers will have to plant even if it is late. “June 10 is the cutoff that most are looking at,” he said. “We’re in better shape than other places. The entire corn belt is having problems planting. In southwest Minnesota only 15-20% of the corn was planted while in East Central Minnesota 50% had been planted by last Thursday, May 30. In the Mankato area 80-90% was planted, but some will need to be replanted. Everyone expects to see corn prices to go up due to the terrible spring weather. Prevented plant crop insurance will not make anyone rich. It is just a band aid for one year.” Carlson, Peterson and Stromberg all said that alfalfa winterkill was significant. A few farmers will rotate to alfalfa where they lost alfalfa hay ground due to winterkill which was worse than farmers first thought. Stromberg said that one of his neighbors had been to Iowa recently and said that he saw a 300-acre field with a 50-acre lake. “We actually lucked out,” he said. “The markets are affected by the Iowa and Illinois conditions. The markets bumped up because the whole U. S. is behind. So, it still might be profitable, but it will not be a bin buster.” Barnick said that market prices have increased in the last two weeks with the weather issues. He encouraged farmers to keep planting as prices are going up. Corn is over $4 per bushel and soybeans over $8 per bushel. “We need it to go up another $1.00 per bushel. on soybeans,” he added. Carlson pointed out that China is 40% of our soybean market. They will buy soybeans from somewhere. Zastera said that the tariffs will hurt a bit. However, there is an excess of grain in the country from good yields in recent years and limited demand. “The bad weather this spring in the rest of the country may help to correct the over-supply and low-demand problem,” he concluded.

What dairy does for you and your body A

balanced diet that’s rich in nutrients is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Nutritious diets include fruits and vegetables, but a truly well-rounded diet also includes dairy. The National Dairy Council of notes that dairy products are good sources of calcium and vitamin D, giving them a well-earned reputation as nutrient-rich products worthy of inclusion in healthy diets. Dairy products are more than just milk. In fact, the United States Department of Agriculture notes that low- or reduced-fat cheeses and yogurts can provide a host of vitamins and nutrients for those who want to include dairy in their diets without pouring themselves a glass of milk. The effects of dairy on the body are numerous, and the following are just some of the ways that the various nutrients and vitamins in dairy can have a positive impact on you and your body. Calcium Various dairy products, including low-fat milk, yogurt and cottage cheese, are rich in calcium. The USDA notes that the body uses

calcium to build bones and teeth and maintain bone mass. That can help people lower their risk for osteoporosis, a potentially debilitating condition characterized by brittle, fragile bones that are vulnerable to injury due to tissue loss. Vitamin D Dairy products that are fortiﬁed with vitamin D can help to build and maintain healthy bones. Milk, soy milk and certain yogurts and cereals are among the products that may be fortiﬁed with vitamin D. It’s important to note that people can overdo it in regard to vitamin D. In fact, a 2010 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that intake of very high doses of vitamin D among older women was linked to more falls and fractures. That’s something to consider for people considering vitamin D supplements, which have become widely popular in recent years. Such supplements should be discussed with a physician, who may

just advise those concerned about their vitamin D intake to consume more low-fat dairy products. Potassium According to the USDA, certain dairy products can be great sources of potassium. The organization notes that milk and yogurt have more potassium and less sodium than cheeses. Diets that include sufﬁcient potassium have been linked to healthy blood pressure. Fruits and vegetables may be the ﬁrst foods people think of when crafting healthy eating habits. But dairy products also make great, nutrient-rich additions to any diet.

Hear what Jesus wrote in his letter to the world

“

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all; and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” – 2 Corinthians Focus on 3.2-3 Have you Faith ever found yourself, Sierra perhaps even on a Sunday Westerman morning sit-

ting in a pew, wondering what the church is all about? Is it some sort of breakfast club? (If you’ve never had that thought, then you’ve never been to Immanuel in Brunswick where the feast is always plentiful… and delicious.) Or some sort of social justice agency? Is it an extended family or community organization? Or a habit you just can’t quit? In a time when church attendance continues to fall and almost no church can simply continue on with business as usual, we must ask ourselves this question: What is the church all about? And though it may cause a certain amount of anxiety to do so, the particular blessing of

this time is actually that we get to ask this question. We get to explore with wonder and imagine and engage with scripture as, with God’s help, we figure out how we are going to move into the future as children of God. So try on this image, even if only for a moment. What if the church is, at least in part, as Paul described it in his letter to the Christian community in Corinth? What if the church is a letter – from Christ to the world? Consider it. A letter has something to say, usually some sort of news to share. And so does the church. As a community, we are witnesses of God’s loving action for us in Jesus Christ. We are blessed to

know the love of God which is so deep and vast that it took on our human flesh, suffered, died and was raised to new life, that we might know that love and live in that new life. Jesus has drawn us into the love of God. And that love has been written on our hearts. Forever. Permanent ink. So that is the content of the letter – the love of God for us and with us. But, of course, the thing about letters is that once written, they still have to be sent. As the church, entrusted with the precious message of Christ, we are sent out and delivered to the world to bear witness to this love of God. How? By loving. That’s it. That’s the message. That’s the

job. To love. Not to pronounce judgment or enforce morality or police thought, but to love –with the same reckless abandon with which God first loved us. If the church is a letter, our content is love. The deep and abundant, unimaginable love of God. Our handwriting may sometimes be hard to read, our ink may smudge, our envelopes may be tough to open. But our message is love. And the love of God… that message is too good not to share. SIERRA WESTERMAN, is the pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Brunswick.

FirstLight pharmacist applies specialty certiﬁcations to rural care KIM TEPLEY FIRSTLIGHT HEALTH SYSTEM

The rapid advancement of drug therapy creates a need for pharmacy practitioners who specialize in specific treatments and aspects of care. Nicholas G. Giller, PharmD, a pharmacist with FirstLight Health System, recently earned the designation of board-certified infectious disease pharmacist. With his latest achievement, Giller is one of just two pharmacists in the world who actively holds credentials as a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist, board-certified oncology pharmacist, and BCIDP. “Nick’s passion is to ensure that we provide the highest levels of expertise—and ultimately the best care—close to home,” said FirstLight Pharmacy Director Brent Thompson, PharmD. “With roots in small-town, rural America, Nick is dedicated to caring for our FirstLight patients, who are his friends and neighbors. As part of a pharmacy team in a rural health system, we are honored to work with and learn from one of the best in the world. With Nick, our pharmacists and physicians have access to a specialist that few bigcity hospitals do.” While board certification is not required to practice pharmacy, it is a tool to determine the expertise and experience of a pharmacist in a particular field. A state requires every pharmacist to hold a current

license, but board certification is an extra step a pharmacist may take to assure a patient of specialty training. As part of board certification, pharmacists pursue extensive continuing education hours and examinations every seven years. Granted by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties, BCIDP is pharmacy’s highest credential in the practice of infectious disease pharmacy. The primary purpose of health-care specialization is to improve the quality of care that individual patients receive, promote

positive treatment outcomes and ultimately improve the patient’s quality of life. The mission of BPS is to improve patient care by positioning board-certified pharmacist specialists as integral members of multidisciplinary healthcare teams, through recognition and promotion of specialized training, knowledge and skills for pharmacists in the United States and internationally. Board certification is a recognized credential for determining which pharmacists are qualified to contribute at advanced practice levels, given the rigorous standards mandated by BPS board certification and recertification. Board-certified pharmacists are also acknowledged by many government agencies, employers and education institutions. BPS currently recognizes more than 41,000 active pharmacist certifications across 11 specialties, including 23,482 in pharmacotherapy, 2,842 in oncology pharmacy and 468 in infectious disease pharmacy. “You are to be commended for having a pharmacist of this caliber on your staff,” said Brian Lawson, PharmD, senior director, professional affairs and international engagement at BPS. “And Dr. Giller should be commended for having achieved this designation.” For more information, visit www.firstlighthealthsystem.org.

Mora woman dead in crash STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Kathleen Kaye Johnstone of Mora died in a motor vehicle crash Monday, June 3 at the intersection of 250th Ave. and Rainbow Street in Kanabec County. According to Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office press release, at approximately 11:47 a.m. Johnstone was driving eastbound on 250th Ave. in a 2003 Chevrolet Impala. At the intersection, the Impala was struck in the driver’s side by a 2004 Chrysler Town and Country van traveling southbound on Rainbow St. The van was driven by Dewayne Edward Huntington of Hinckley. Johnstone was pronounced dead at the scene. Huntington was taken to FirstLight Health System hospital in Mora before being transferred to a metro trauma center. Kanabec County First Responders, the Mora Area Fire Department, FirstLight ambulance, Minnesota State Patrol and Kanabec County Sheriff’s deputies all responded to the scene. The crash is being investigated by the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Minnesota State Patrol.

June 6 - June 12 Week of Cambridge: Conservation Officer Angela Londgren spent the week at Camp Ripley on an interview panel for new hires. Calls were also taken about baby animals, boaters not following high-water ordinances and ATV complaints. Milaca: Conservation officer Nathan Benkofske reports checking boaters and anglers over the past week. Enforcement action was taken for ﬁshing without licenses, extra lines, and unattended lines. Many animal-related complaints were also handled ranging from bears, to raccoons, to fawns. Hinckley: Conservation officer Bret Grundmeier handled several nuisance-animal calls that included foxes killing chickens and ducks and black bears knocking over garbage cans and tearing down bird feeders. Homeowners had to be reminded that until natural food sources become available, bears will be out searching for the easiest meal they can ﬁnd and that usually means bird seed, dog food and garbage. Time was also spent investigating gray wolf depredation of cattle complaints and checking anglers on area lakes.

Rising up High school graduation rates hit all-time highs BY KIRSTEN FAURIE NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

High school graduation rates are at a record high for all Minnesota students; Mora and Ogilvie school districts are celebrating the highs as well. In 2018, a record high of 83.2% of Minnesota seniors graduated. Mora High School maintained a graduation rate of 97% in 2018. When combined with students from the Mora Alternative Learning Center (45%), the Mora Public Schools district (ISD 332) had an overall graduation rate of 88%. Ogilvie schools made a drastic leap from five years ago: graduation rates increased from 77% in 2014 up to 95% in 2018. While that’s news worth celebrating, Mora Public Schools Superintendent Craig Schultz

said there is more to education that graduation rates. “The graduation rate is only one measure of a school’s success,” he said. “From my perspective, the goal for all students is to become productive members of society. The graduation rate is a major indicator of how well education is valued by that society, or how well it is supported by the community, and more specifically the families attending. We are pleased our graduation rates exceed the state averages and I believe it is due to the value placed on high school success by our students, our hard working staff and the family support.” LEARNING OPTIONS Many school districts across the state have developed a variety of learning environments

MOVING FORWARD Schultz said some of the biggest factors in educational success are how much the students value education, but also making sure those students feel supported. “We are pleased to provide supports for all students at all levels to have the opportunity to be successful.” As the district moves forward, Schultz said they need to be ready for change. “Education, technology and society are evolving. As this happens at an ever increasing rate, we must do the same. By listening to the students, the families and the community, we must continue to meet the needs of all three by challenging all students to improve everyday.” ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORTS FOR STRUGGLING HIGH SCHOOLS According to a release from the Minnesota Department of

Education, graduation rates increased statewide for all racial/ethnic student groups this year, as well as for English learners, students receiving special education services, and students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals. Over the past five years, black students—who increased 7.2 percentage points—saw the largest increase. The U.S. Department of Education approved Minnesota’s state plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act in January 2018. In the plan, Minnesota set an ambitious goal that by 2020, 90 percent of Minnesota students will graduate in four years, and no single student group’s graduation rate will be below 85 percent. This goal reflects the state’s strong commitment to equity and ensuring every Minnesota student receives a high school diploma, and is bolstered by the state’s plan to identify for support any public high school with a four-year graduation rate below 67 percent overall, or for any student group.

Tips for responsible catch and release ﬁshing CONTRIBUTED MN DNR

•

Responsible catch-and-release fishing can help ensure continued quality fishing opportunities. Anglers can boost the odds of fish surviving catch and release by using methods that avoid internal damage caused by hooks, stress and being pulled from deep water. • Fish hooked in the mouth almost always survive. Set the hook quickly to avoid hooking a fish deeply. Jigs, circle hooks and active baits like crankbaits are more likely to hook a fish in the mouth. • Use some restraint when fish are really biting, and it is a good idea to avoid deep water when planning to catch and release fish. • Have pliers ready that work well for taking

•

• •

hooks out. Cutting the line and leaving the hook in the fish is also a good option. Quickly land a fish to minimize a fish’s time out of water. Handle the fish firmly but carefully. Wet your hands before touching a fish to prevent removal of their protective slime coating. Rubberized nets help, too. Unhook and release the fish while it is still in the water, if possible, and support its weight with both hands or with a net when removed from the water. Never lift them vertically from the water. Revive a fish by cradling it under the belly and gently moving it forward in the water until it swims away. Do not release a fish that can be legally kept if it is bleeding heavily or can’t right itself.

Take a Kid Fishing weekend is June 7-9 CONTRIBUTED MN DNR

Kids will rarely be able to tell you their best day of watching TV but take them fishing and moments of angling excitement can make lifelong memories – it’s an often expressed sentiment and this weekend is a chance to put it into practice. During Take a Kid Fishing weekend Friday, June 7, to Sunday, June 9, Minnesota residents can fish without licenses if they take children 15 or younger fishing. “Time spent fishing can be can be a way for adults and kids to spend time outdoors together. We’re encouraging adults to get out and learn how to fish so they can bring kids out fishing all year,” said Jeff Ledermann, DNR education and skills team supervisor. “Fishing can be a lifelong activity that connects folks to the wild places right outside their doors.” While Minnesotans 15 and younger don’t need fishing licenses any time of the year, Take a Kid Fishing Weekend is a way for adults and kids to fish together without the step of buying a license. Adults who want to learn how to fish can visit the DNR website at mndnr.gov/GoFishing. The page covers fishing basics, where to fish, how to catch different types of fish, fishing programs to join, and the importance of fishing ethics and being stewards of Minnesota’s natural resources. “It’s easy to get started fishing in Minnesota,” Ledermann said. “With just a few fishing tips and a spot picked out, most people can feel that tug on the end of the line if they get out and try.” Fishing gear is available to borrow at state parks. The DNR’s I Can Fish program teaches the basics of fishing and runs throughout the summer at state parks. Even when it’s not Take a Kid Fishing Weekend, Minnesota residents generally can fish in state parks without a fishing license if the body of water does not require a trout stamp. These and other hands-on activities are available online at bit.ly/gofishingmn.

OBITUARIES

William Gotfredson

Mary Perry

Judith A. Christy

William (Bill) Gotfredson died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, May 11, 2019, at St. Clare’s Living Community. He was 77 years old. He was born in Pokegama Township to Carl and Merle (Olson) Gotfredson on March 24, 1942. He sspent his years growing u up as a young boy loving llife on the farm. This is w where his strong work e ethic was instilled in him w working side by side with h his parents. He told many sstories of riding his horse o or driving the tractor to c country school. He attended W Whited Township School, first through eighth grade, a and graduated from Mora H High School in 1960. When h he went to “town school” in ninth grade he met the love of his life, Martha Ann Youngquist. They were a loving couple until his passing 60 years later. They were united in marriage in 1959 at Immanual Lutheran Church in Brunswick. From this union three children were born – Shari, Jane and Karl. After high school he worked in auto part sales and as a route driver for Old Home Foods. Working in auto part sales brought the opportunity to purchase the bulk oil business from Tinker & Larson in Mora in 1971. The couple continued this company which grew as Town & Country Oil serving East Central Minnesota for 30 years after which it was sold to their children. On the corner of Highway 65 and Maple Avenue in Mora the spot known as “The Station” was where he formed many friendships with customers and the young men who worked for him through the years. He attended Grace Lutheran Church serving as Sunday school teacher, chairman of the church council and member of the senior choir. He was also a member of the Mora Masonic Lodge (past Master 1975), Zurah Shrine (sponsored two children to the Shriners hospital), Mora Fire Department, MAYRA, Ducks Unlimited life member, NRA and North American Hunting Club life member, Minnesota Petroleum Marketer’s Assn., Minnesota Shorthorn Assn., Mora Vasaloppet and loyal member of the Liar’s Club at his Arizona winter home. He was instrumental in starting the Snake River Chapter of the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, of which he became a lifetime member, and served as regional director of the state chapter of MDHA. He and his wife were very fortunate to travel to many different countries including three trips to Sweden. A passion of his had always been to be able to participate in a mission trip which he did in 2005 traveling with a group to Honduras. This experience touched his heart deeply. He had a huge zest for life. He had an immense interest in everyone he met wanting to know all about them. He loved a good time and a good laugh. He was a fan of the Gophers, the Twins and the Vikings. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved to hunt and fish. His other passions included golf and bowling. His joy upon retiring was to move to a small farm where he raised a herd of registered shorthorn cattle and loved using his ‘toys’ – John Deere tractor, dump truck, backhoe, bulldozer and skid steer. Family time was most important to him. Grandchildren were loved dearly. Family get-togethers and great-grandchildren were a special treasure. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife Martha Ann; children Shari (Dave) Salmonson, Jane (Greg) Skramstad and Karl (Amy) Gotfredson; nine grandchildren; five step-grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters Marlys Olson, Donna (Russ) Callander and Carol (Don) Ellens, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. His body was donated to University of Minnesota Medical School Anatomy Bequest Program to support medical education and research. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 7, 2019, at Grace Lutheran Church in Mora with Rev. Paul Lutter officiating. Visitation will be held from 5 until 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, 2019, at Dresser-Methven Funeral Home in Mora as well as one hour prior to the service at the church. In lieu of flowers memorials are preferred to Grace Lutheran Church or Mora Dollars for Scholars. Arrangements by Dresser-Methven Funeral and Cremation Services.

Celebrate the start of summer with a picnic and parsley potatoes This year the summer solstice, which marks the official start of summer, falls on June 21. During this time of year, schedules become lax and meals often occur on-thefly — and usually outdoors. When firing up the grill or packing picnic essentials, home chefs should consider which dishes they’ll serve alongside the main course. Of course, no summertime meal would be complete without a tasty potato salad in the mix. This recipe for “Potato Salad with Bacon and Parsley” from Allie Lewis Clapp, Lygeia Grace and Candy Gianetti’s “Real Simple: Easy, Delicious Home Cooking” (Time Home Entertainment) offers a tasty take on this classic dish.

POTATO SALAD WITH BACON AND PARSLEY Serves 6 Ingredients: 1 1⁄2 pounds new potatoes, about 15 Kosher salt and black pepper 4 slices bacon 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 cup fresh, ﬂat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped Place the potatoes in a pot with 1 teaspoon salt and enough water to cover and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool. Cut into quarters. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then crumble. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, 3⁄4 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, bacon and parsley and toss to combine. Tip: The potatoes can be cooked and tossed with the dressing and parsley up to 1 day in advance; refrigerate, covered. Bring to room temperature and add the bacon just before serving.

print and digital with local and regional appeal. Community newspapers really become the ownership of the communities themselves. We are here to produce it.” Franklin will be staying on for a few months to help with the transition. “Tim’s knowledge and trust with readers, advertisers and employees is important,” said Matt McMillan, CEO for the Johnsons. “We’re planning to recruit a group publisher as we join Tim’s operations with our Northstar Media and Kanabec Publications divisions. In the meantime, we’re pleased Tim’s agreed to stay on this summer.” Northstar Media and Kanabec Publications includes the Isanti-Chisago County Star, Pine City Pioneer, Kanabec County Times, Advertiser as well as the printing facility in Cambridge. Johnsons also own a suburban group based out of White Bear Lake, a group of Wisconsin publications and ownership in Publishers Printing, Inc., a central plant in Amery, Wisconsin. “Community newspapers today can be successful in a group with a central printing plant, production and business offices,” Johnson said. “We’ve been fortunate to handle printing for Tim Franklin’s company for the past 10 years.” “I want to give thanks to everyone who has helped us in this incredible 16-and-a-half-year journey, from moving to the area not knowing one person, to being friends with so many from Pine to Carlton counties,” said Franklin. “Newspapers make a difference – since the beginning of the printing press – and are more important today in the digital and print age. Weekly newspapers make a difference in their communities. Thank you for allowing us this wonderful ride. I would ask you to please support the new owners as you supported me all those years ago.” “Publisher-owner’s like Tim understand the value of community and local news,” McMillan said. “Tim shared a testimonial about a regular advertiser who recently told him his best marketing response comes from his campaign to reach his readers. We know people who read these print and digital editions are among the best engaged residents including being the best consumers in any market. Readers care about community. Tim’s worked hard to build trust with readers. We plan to keep his work going.” “As a newspaper owner, I have always thought of us as just stewards of these great institutions,” Franklin said. “The community tells us when we are doing good things, and not so good things. I know my wife Mary, and my children Emilee and Savannah, will have cherished memories of owning these publications. We have found a new owner who will be committed to the same principals of putting out great products and at the same time taking care of my former employees.” “We invite your cooperation providing ideas, suggestions and recommendations,” Johnson said. “Our goal is to be the best source of local information.”
