Demolition crews take down the last of the Soderstrom home at the corner of Highway 65 and Forest Avenue East to make way for construction of a Dollar General store.
Dollar General builds in Mora BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
A national retail chain will soon open a store in Mora. Dollar General plans to build a location at the intersection of Highways 65 and Forest Avenue East. On Tuesday, April 16 the Mora City Council approved a minor subdivision on the site to include property from three owners: Judy Soderstrom, Glen Dahl and Independent School District 332. The three properties must be combined into a single 1.03 acre site prior to the start of construction. “The city didn’t attract Dollar General
at all; it just fell into our laps,” said City Administrator Lindy Crawford. “But we certainly try to reach out to retail and other businesses that we think will complement our existing businesses.” Crawford said that the company closed on the property in mid-April, and has been issued a demolition permit. Demolition of the Soderstrom home was nearly complete by Friday, April 26. The new store brings definite advantages to Mora, according to Crawford. “We’re seeing movement on property in town that has been vacant for some time. It’ll also bring more jobs to our community, which is something that we
need,” she said. “And we don’t want to take away from locally-owned businesses in our vibrant downtown district. The location on Highways 65 and 23 will draw people who pass through Mora, and that’s great, but we also want to draw people to our downtown. That’s something we need to focus on, but I do think they can coexist.” Dollar General is a chain of variety stores headquartered in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. Founded in 1939, they operate more than 15,000 stores in the U.S. including 66 stores in Minnesota. The company opened a store in Ogilvie in August 2018.
After four years of extending construction deadlines on a proposed steel forming factory in Ogilvie, Dakota Steel has abandoned the project citing national uncertainty about steel tariffs and potential product shortage. Dakota Steel purchased the 2.39 acre lot of 200 West Bragg Street, commonly known as the former site of the old Ogilvie school building, from the City of Ogilvie in September 2015 for $1. Dakota Steel’s representatives told the city it intended to build a steel-forming factory on the site which would initially require 15 employees, with the potential for more. The sale was first met with great enthusiasm from the Ogilvie City Council. Council member Dave Johnson praised it as a “wonderful opportunity.” Mayor Mark Nilson said he was hopeful for what the new factory could mean for the city’s economy including jobs, housing and increased traffic at local restaurants. Developing the property was particularly appealing to the city because it could have cut one of the city’s biggest debts in half. In the summer SEE STEEL, PAGE 10
Census reveals challenges ahead BY RACHEL SCHMELTZER NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
There are currently more people retiring than there are joining the workforce. This and other challenges are revealed in part through Census data. MN State Demographer Susan Brower spoke in Mora during the Dala Business Women’s Meeting on April 22 regarding the upcoming U.S. Census which will begin in March of 2020. Information presented included why the census is pertinent to the planning of local businesses and how it impacts the community. In terms of population, studies show that the state of Minnesota is growing, SEE COUNTING, PAGE 7

Disease spreads as we ignore miracles
D
i-hydrogen monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless chemical that kills at least 3,500 people in the United States every year. It is a major component in acid rain, can cause severe burns, is powerful enough to rust away metal and has been found in cancer cells extracted from terminal patients. What’s more, scientists have found it present in the blood stream of newborn babies. It’s in the air, it’s in the soil, and worst of all our government isn’t doing enough about it. Why? Because di-hydrogen monoxEditor ide is water. The way things are talked about Kirsten Faurie can make them unnecessarily scary even when they are safe, just like I have done with water. Vaccines are also something that are safe but have been talked about the wrong way, unnecessarily scaring people away from the advice of good doctors and toward the spread of life-threatening diseases. Many of you are familiar with this parable of the family threatened by a flood (it’s that dangerous di-hydrogen monoxide again): A town was flooded. The water is rising and a family is huddled on the roof of their home. A person in a boat comes by and offers to help. “No thank you,” they respond. “God will save us.” The water gets higher and a person in a bigger boat comes by offering to help. “No thank you,” they respond. “God will save us.” The water gets higher and the National Guard comes by in a helicopter, offering to help. “No thank you,” they respond. “God will save us.” The family drowns. The mom, dad and the little kids who were far too young to decide for themselves.

The family gets to heaven and they ask God, “God, why didn’t you save us?” God responds, “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you want?” Without getting into a religious debate, it’s a great parable about not using the resources we are given and becoming bystanders in our fate, rather than taking personal responsibility for what happens to us and those around us. When I hear that story, I get angry. When I hear someone’s little child is hooked up in a hospital bed because it caught the measles, I get angry. When I hear the United States is experiencing its biggest outbreak in 20 years of a preventable disease, I get angry. It hurts me to see my America, supposedly a leader in the world in areas of science, technology and medicine, has taken such huge steps backward. We have the solutions. We have the boat. We have the helicopter. It’s our failure to use them that is threatening our safety. We can’t be bystanders. We can’t wait for miracles. We’ve been given the tools and the resources to create our own. Eliminate measles? What a miracle that would be —we nearly did it, too. In the year 2000, the disease was declared eliminated in the United States. Now we are having outbreaks and quarantines because we chose to. We have the solution to this problem and it isn’t an essential oil — it’s education about the importance and safety of vaccinations. The danger to our bodies and to our children isn’t vaccines. It’s our own lack of action and misinformed fears that are causing outbreaks of diseases in places they should no longer exist. KIRSTEN FAURIE is the editor of the Kanabec County Times.

Children can lose weight with compassion, not criticism CONTRIBUTED AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
Childhood obesity is a major problem. While the increase in obesity rates has recently begun to slow, this means little if your own child is overweight. There are no easy cures, but there are ways you can address and help overcome the challenges he or she is facing. A starting point is to avoid actions and behaviors that might make the problem worse. An overweight child often has low self-esteem, may face teasing and bully-
ing at school, and often is at increased risk for a variety of health problems. Overweight children are well aware of their weight issues and they don’t need reminders from Mom and Dad of the problem. Such parental attention can leave the child feeling ugly, hopeless and unloved. And these negative emotions often lead to emotional eating as a way to minimize the negative feelings. Even well-intentioned actions like reminding your child to eat healthier can feel like nagging. When a parent pushes
a child to be more active in sports, or plays food police by controlling or restricting what can or can’t be eaten, the result is often an opposite reaction, such as sneaking unhealthy snacks, skipping practices or simply rebelling. A good starting point for a parent who really wants to help is a frank, non-judgmental talk with the child about his or her feelings. Ask the child to identify negative messages that you’ve been sending, probably unintentionally. Try to respond to the child’s negative feelings with positive, sincere
messages. An important part of helping is to set a positive example. When you’re eating healthier, it’s easier for the child to do the same. That also applies to exercise. Set an example and find ways to encourage your child to be more active together with you. It can be anything from after dinner walks to playing catch or kicking a soccer ball in the back yard. Of vital importance is to provide your child with healthy food choices. Kids often have different eating patterns than their parents. Plan healthy
meals for the whole family and have a bowl of fruit for that after school snack rather than a plate of cookies or bag of chips. Weight loss is never easy and can be especially hard for a self-conscious, overweight child. When the child makes even small moves in the right direction, be complimentary and be sure to offer love and support, not criticism. “COUNSELING CORNER” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

1969: Car runs into window at Ben Franklin store 125 YEARS AGO (1894) The warm rains have driven vegetation forward at a rapid rate. The young people indulged in the customary pastime of hanging May baskets Tuesday night. J. B. Gorham has given up all intention of becoming a “hay seed.” He sold his farm on Tuesday to N. D. Danforth. A good deal of mail destined for the Mora postoffice was missent News from during the strike and has not arrived yet, Yesteryear although nineteen came in the Matt Anderson pouches first day after the strike. J. H. Sawyer, who came in from Ann river drive yesterday, reported a fight between two Indians, one of which was left for dead. Ed St. John was one of the Indians and the other was supposed to be his brother. A number of families picnicked on Mr. Pope’s island in Lake Mora last Sunday. Mr. Pope with the assistance of our citizens will fix the island up for a pleasure resort. A pavilion and flag staff will be erected. The promptness of the postoffice department during the strike is to be commended. A telegram from this office for temporary service with Pine City was acted upon at once and all arrangements made inside of ten hours. We call our readers special attention to the sale of state school lands which takes place at the auditor’s office on the 31st day of May, 1894. See notice in another column of this paper. This will be the only chance to buy these lands during the year. The rear of Knife and Snake river drives passed here Wednesday. During the year ending May 1, 1894, 4,726 acres of land were sold by the state and St. P. & D. R. R. Co., in Kanabec county, to 85 different parties. This does not include land bought from private persons and corporations other than railroad companies, which amounted to several hundred acres. Every acre of these lands is bought by persons who are either now residing on the land or intend to make it their future home, which means an addition of one hundred families to the population of the county. Mora got a short taste of the strike. It was shut in from the outside world from Friday until Wednesday, and very little freight was received during the entire strike of two weeks. Provisions of all kinds became limited. Merchants were about to dispatch teams to Rush city for flour. The news on Wednesday that the strike had ended was received with joy. 100 YEARS AGO (1919) “Mora Gets Field and Track Meet; Will Be Held Here Saturday, May 24th-

--Secured By Unanimous Vote:” The Superintendents of the “The Big Eight High School Association” held their annual meeting at Hinckley, on Thursday last, and organized by electing Supt. Damon, President and Supt. McAdam of Pine City, Secretary. The first business of importance was the selecting of the place for holding the Field Meet. Mora secured the meet by unanimous vote of the Superintendents. Two districts were formed for the purpose of determining the baseball teams who will represent the association at the Field Meet. The elimination series will be played between Milaca, Cambridge, and Mora in the West End, and between Sandstone, Rush City and Pine City in the East End. The winners in each of these districts will compete at the Field Meet for the Annual Baseball Pennant. “I. O. O. F. Celebrate 100th Anniversary:” The 100th anniversary of the I. O. O. F. order was celebrated by lodges in all parts of the United States and Canada, on either April 26th or 27th. In this village, members of Mora lodge together with the Rebekahs, attended church services at the M. E. church and the sermon as delivered by Rev. Baumhofer, especially prepared for the occasion, brought forth many complimentary remarks. Following is a brief history of how the order was organized: Five men who had become members of the lodge in England met in Baltimore April 26, 1819, called themselves the Odd Unity, and formed the first lodge in America of the Independent Order of Oddfellows. They were christened Washington Lodge No. 1. Thomas Wildey was the eldest of this group, and has always been known as the founder of the order. He took an active interest in the lodge, and maintained it through 40 years. The lodge they began has multiplied into 26,651

The Mora school faculty and pupils are taking an enthusiastic interest in the project, which it is felt will aid in developing the characters of our youth and make them better future citizens. When the necessary improvements are made the management of the cabin will be turned over to a local committee. “Earl Blake Takes Position With U. S. Employment Office:” Earl L. Blake of Mora began his duties May first with the local office of the U.S. Employment Service, located in the Serline building. Mr. Blake worked under the old National Reemployment Service in 1936 and ‘37 and is somewhat familiar with the nature of the work. 50 YEARS AGO (1969) “Car Runs Into Window at Ben Franklin Store:” A large front window in the Ben Franklin store was knocked out Sunday when a car jumped the curb and ran into the building. Mrs. Gerry Hawkins of Mora had stopped at the curb in front of the store. She got out to go on an errand, leaving a daughter in the car. She told her daughter to step on the gas if the motor sounded as though it were going to stop.

Another $117 million went for boats and canoes, $34 million for bait, and $4.7 million for ice. “Deadline prompts action on courthouse; Latest remodeling plan has $3 million price tag:” County taxpayers can expect a referendum on financing for courthouse addition and remodeling as a January deadline nears to make all county departments handicapped-accessible or face possible fines of up to $50,000. Last week, commissioners reviewed preliminary architectural drawings for an addition attached to the southwest corner of the existing courthouse which would house social services on two floors and possibly the county attorney’s office on another.

COUNTING: From funding to congressional districts — Census data impacts communities FROM PAGE 1
although Kanabec County (Region 7E) hasn’t had much change over the last 20 years. Notably, the number of people 65 and older is increasing, and this impacts Kanabec communities especially in terms of employment. Nationwide, it means for the first time in decades and for the next several decades, there are more people retiring than joining the workforce. For those looking for employment, this is good news. There are more jobs available and less people to fill them. For employers, the statistics mean challenges. Less positions filled, fewer people applying and as Susan Brower said, “The questions to employers will be what do we need to do to make this work? How can we make our work environment more appealing? What can we offer?” Some employers have already
begun making changes, such as work from home options, flexible schedules and in-house daycare. High schools are partnering with trade schools to inform students there are businesses that pay a living wage without incurring as much student loan debt. Studying and understanding the information the census reveals allows businesses to prepare for their future. The U.S. Census is about equal representation, fair distribution of resources and gathering the data to make decisions. It is mandated in the United States Constitution to perform a census every 10 years. “It helps makes our democracy work at the foundational level,” Brower said. This ensures each area receives the funding it needs. Federal funds are allocated based on population, so the fewer people, the less money. This impacts
areas such as Highway Planning and Construction, Medicaid, WIC (Women, Infants and Children) and Public Housing Assistance. In terms of receiving equal representation, Minnesota is divided into eight congressional districts. The number of congressional districts a state has determines the number of Representatives each state has in Congress. After the 2010 census, Minnesota barely held onto its 8th District. The less representation we have in Congress, the less say we have as a state. This is why it is vital to participate in the census, so the number of people in our state is as accurate as possible, and we receive the representation we are entitled to as a state. This ensures the voices of Minnesotans are heard on a national level. Starting in April of next year, mailings of the U.S. Census will begin. This year is different in that it will be the
first time there is an online option for filling out the form. Paper forms and phone calls are still being done as well. The Census Bureau is encouraging everyone to participate and fill out their form, and they do have particular laws which prevent them from sharing personal information with any other agency. They are only allowed to release the data as statistical information, and are not allowed to release individual data. It is taken seriously, ensuring everyone’s personal information remains private. As Brower said, “Think about doing it for the community, as a way of helping everyone out.” For more information about the upcoming census visit www. mn.gov/admin/demography.

Get ready: Early spring landscaping tips During the cold months of winter, many people stare longingly out of the window dreaming of spring and time spent outdoors. For those with green thumbs, images of tending to the garden and other aspects of their landscapes no doubt dominate such daydreams. · One of the first steps is to apply a preemergent weed killer to get a head start knocking out weeds that can plague the lawn during the growing season. · While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch of annuals, it’s better to know the
last of the possible frost dates (check “The Farmer’s Almanac”). · Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency - just crumbling when lifting it. Soil that is too muddy after spring thaw can harden, making it difficult for plants to flourish later on. · Lawn and garden experts suggest filling in bare patches of lawn now by mixing a few shovelfuls of soil with grass seed. Then apply this patch to the bare areas, water and continue to care for the area until the spot fills in. · Spend a day in the garage or shed tending to the lawn mower and other
gardening equipment. · Give outdoor entertaining spaces a good scrubbing, clearing away dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the winter. · Check if the front porch, railings or decking need painting and/or staining. · Think about any annuals you might want to plant in the landscape this year that will complement any existing shrubbery or perennials. Before homeowners know it, winter is gone and it is time to once again enjoy long days spent outdoors. Get a jump start on spring lawn prep as soon as you can.

Religious rituals remind believers who they are
T
his year three of the holiest religious observances all fall in April and May. Our Jewish neighbors observed Passover on April 20. Christians observed Easter on April 21. Muslims begin the observance of Ramadan on May 6. It is circumstantial that all three religious bodies celebrate high holy days at the same time this year. Often the Jewish Passover Focus On is months after the Christian celebration Faith of Passover and Easter. Ramadan rolls throughJulie Beck out the calendar year
and can be observed in the late summer and fall just as easily as it is occurring in May this year. The Jewish Passover celebrates the story of God’s liberation of the Jewish community from slavery and eventually returned them to a land that they could live freely, and worship without fear. The Muslim Ramadan is one of the “Five Pillars of Faith.” It is a discipline of fasting during the day and lasts for an entire month. The fast is significant because it includes fluid as well as food. The intent is to free Muslims for more prayer time and focus on divine activity in their lives. Christians celebrated Easter on April 21, but the season of Easter continues through the month of May. Throughout
the month, Scripture reminds us that after the resurrection Jesus appeared to individuals on the road to Emmaus, groups of disciples gathered in fear, (doubting Thomas) and large groups (500) all seeing him at once. For us the Easter Season culminates with Jesus breathing the gift of the Holy Spirit onto believers, promising them (us) that God’s Spirit will abide with us, in us, around us, and be shared through us. The Holy Spirit guides and directs believers of all traditions as they seek to live faithfully in the world. This gift of the Spirit is celebrated on Pentecost. The Easter season, spring, is a season of light and new life as farmers get into the fields and as people plant flowers and vegetables for summer enjoyment and harvest.
During the Easter season, many congregations will confirm youth and we all honor our mothers on Mother’s Day. I regularly have folks remind me that they will meet God in the boat on opening fishing, and graduation is a joyous milestone for families. We all catch a breath of relief as we celebrate the Memorial Day weekend – thankful for all the men and women that have served our country through military service. Memorial Day weekend is the turning point between a busy school year and the promise of summer routines. Ritual for all three religious bodies helps believers understand who they are, what they believe and how to best SEE RITUAL, PAGE 15

Community gathers to honor, mourn Wynn BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM
Hundreds of community members and first responders from across the state came to the Pine City Civic Center on Friday, April 26 to pay their last respects to Pine City’s DNR Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn. Wynn was killed and a Pine County deputy hospitalized after the two men were thrown from their boat while searching Cross Lake on April 19. Main Street was lined with Patriot Riders bearing flags, and the Pine City Fire Department positioned two ladder trucks to hold an American flag suspended over the street just north of the civic center. Wynn was 43 years old and an 18 year veteran of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He is survived by his wife, Pine County Judge Heather Wynn, and their two young children, a daughter and a son. Officers filled the bleachers and the floor of the civic center, rows upon rows of uniformed men and women wearing tan, brown, green, white, blue and red. They were joined by hundreds of civilians – family, friends and supporters – each carrying a blue and white rose with a card attached saying, “Forever in our Hearts. Blessed are the Peacemakers,” with Wynn’s badge number: K297. They were joined too by Pine City officials, who declared April 26 “Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn Memorial Day” in Pine City, and by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who ordered that all flags be flown at half-staff across the state. “Conservation Officer Wynn was an outstanding Conservation Officer, who was admired and respected by his colleagues, and served with dignity and pride,” read the proclamation issued by Governor Walz. “The State of Minnesota recognizes Conservation Officer Wynn for his dedicated service to, and sacrifice for, his fellow citizens with its deepest gratitude, and all thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and entire community.” At noon, more than 150 DNR Conservation Officers silently filed in, each holding their tan hat under their left arm and a blue rose in their right, and took their seats on the civic center floor. Wynn is the 22nd Minnesota conservation officer to die in the line of duty.
‘GENE DEFINED HIS LIFE’ DNR Colonel Rodmen Smith spoke about the dedication of Wynn and other first responders to serving their communities. “These men and women are community servants always,” Smith said. “ It’s how they live their lives. It’s how they raise their families.” Smith said that when tragedy strikes, it’s easy to remember the uniform the person wore. “But uniforms don’t serve their communities,” he said. “Uniforms don’t save people. And uniforms don’t die. “We need to remember that Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn was a conservation officer second,” Smith said. “He

was a husband, father, son and friend first.” He spoke about Wynn’s love for the outdoors, which led him to a career as a conservation officer – first in Wisconsin, then Minnesota. And he spoke of Wynn’s dedication to his family. “Gene, like so many parents, was a hero ... an ordinary, everyday hero,” Smith said. “A parent’s time with their kids is priceless, no matter how mundane or routine. True hero’s work. “The Wynn family is an integral part of this community. That has shown in this past week. Community members and local businesses have come together to offer whatever they can. Everyone wants to pitch in. Everyone wants to help. Everyone wants to give back. “We don’t go it alone,” Smith added. “We all walk side by side through life with family, friends, and those in our community. “Gene – and all of us, cannot be defined by a uniform that we wear. We are defined by how we live our lives. Gene defined his life. Gene, we will miss you, but you’ve given us some treasured memories. The mark you left on all of us will never be forgotten. And that will make all of us better spouses, better parents better children, better friends and better community members.” ‘HIS DAD WAS A HERO’ Wynn’s friend Ryan Noll spoke about the competitive drive, and the talent that made Wynn an athletic star during his schooldays. As boys, the two bonded over their love for the outdoors. “We spent countless hours
in the woods and on the water together,” Noll said. “It didn’t matter what we were after.” Sometimes they would get up early to go hunting before school. “I’ll never forget the morning I shot my first buck with a bow,” he said. “Unfortunately ... it wasn’t the best hit. Luckily, he was there to help me find it, but it took almost all day to do so. My parents were so mad to find out we didn’t make it to school that day. It was worth it.” He said Wynn was working one summer as a park ranger when he found someone very special.
‘Like many here today ... he would run toward what others would run from. He was a good man, a good husband and a good father.’ Pastor Tim Adams “He met the love of his life – Heather. Her huge heart and the patience of a saint was a perfect fit for him. Eugene was so proud of her. “I’ll never forget when he called to tell me that Heather had been appointed to be a judge,” Noll said. “We were all so happy for her, especially Gene.” Noll spoke about spending time with each other’s families, and wanting to pass the love of the outdoors to the next generation. “As I pushed Heather and Eugene’s son on the swing
last Sunday, EJ reminded me that his dad was a hero ... just like the two officers who were protecting us at the end of the driveway were heroes too. He was right. All of you who risk your lives every day for us are heroes. “To Sophie and EJ, please know that nothing was more important to your dad than you two. He loved you more than anything on this earth. If you ever need a fishing buddy, or want to hear stories about your dad, I’m always here. “Please keep Eugene’s family and friends in your prayers,” he told those gathered on April 26. “No words can describe how much he will be missed.” ‘NO GREATER LOVE’ After playing an instrumental version of the song “Ashokan Farewell” recorded by Heather Wynn and Michele Anderson, Pastor Tim Adams of Journey North Church spoke about providing comfort to Wynn’s family in Pine City, and also his law enforcement family. He said there has been an outpouring of love, support and respect for Wynn this past week. “I have to say I’m proud of Pine City coming together in so many different ways,” Adams said. “Eugene was very well loved. He was an absolutely amazing man. “There are people here today who are alive because of Eugene,” Adams said. “Like many here today ... he would run toward what others would run from. He was a good man, a good husband and a good father.” Adams said that Wynn felt a connection to the creator most strongly when he was out in
creation. “There is no greater love than this, to lay down your life for your friends,” Adams said, quoting from the New Testament. “That describes Eugene.” He noted that Wynn’s death came on Good Friday. “That was a day someone else gave their life for others,” Adams said. “But that wasn’t the end of the story. God excels at bringing good out of tragedy.” END OF WATCH Outside the civic center, officers and civilians stood silently in rows under the bright April sun. The wind whipped at the flags held aloft by more than a dozen color guard units from law enforcement and other agencies around Minnesota. Over the auditorium loudspeakers came a message: “This is the last call for Officer K297.” That message was repeated twice more. “Last call for Officer K297. Last call for Officer K297.” Then, after a pause, the speaker resumed. “End of watch for Officer K297. We thank you for your 18 years of service. Rest easy, sir.” Bagpipes of the Minnesota Police Pipe Band played “Amazing Grace” as officers saluted. A bell was rung 18 times for Wynn’s 18 years of service A 21 gun salute was fired for Wynn, and four DNR airplanes roared overhead. Then, Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn was taken to his final resting place.

of 2014, the city received a $368,000, 15year loan from the Minnesota Demolition Loan Program to demolish the burned ruins of the building that long stood on the site. Conditions of the loan include forgiveness of up to 50 percent of the loan should the property be developed. On April 17, Ogilvie City Administrator Tammy Pfaff reported the city still has $309,000 of debt remaining on that loan. When the City first sold the property to Dakota Steel, the purchase agreement stipulated that construction on the building would have to begin on or before Sept. 19, 2017. If Dakota Steel did not construct or take steps toward construction it would have to sell the property back to the city. Whenever that date approached, Dakota Steel asked for an extension to the deadline; the city council voted to approve the extension both times. With each instance, the council members spoke more and more of their doubt that Dakota Steel would ever build. According to a May 2018 letter from the city’s attorney, Chelsie Troth, her communication with Dakota Steel’s attorney showed uncertainty about trade made expansion questionable. Troth wrote, “It was indicated that Dakota Steel remains very serious and hopeful about having a plant in Ogilvie, but the political climate in their industry is making it so they can’t start construction because they aren’t even sure they will be able to have enough product available at the plant if they build. This is due to anticipated product shortages and tariffs.” On June 20, 2018, the City of Ogilvie
approved its last extension with a new deadline to begin construction by May 1, 2019. In a letter dated March 15, 2019, Jordan Veurink representing Dakota Steel and Trim declared they will no longer build the factory and intend to return the property to the city. The letter stated, “... due to factors beyond DST’s control, DST will be unable to take further actions toward constructing a building on the property.” Dakota Steel proposed to transfer the property back to the city via quitclaim deed. During their April 17 meeting, the Ogilvie City Council took steps to form a committee geared toward discussing how to move forward and what to do with the property.
TIMELINE Sept. 15, 2015: City of Ogilvie sells 200 West Bragg St to Dakota Steel and Trim with an original construction start deadline of Sept. 19, 2017. After the sale, Dakota Steel began preparing for construction including clearing brush, performing groundwork, conducting surveys, design of the building, purchasing other properties, etc. Oct. 21, 2015: City council approves re-zoning the land from municipal to industrial and manufacturing Nov. 2, 2017: Purchase agreement is amended to extend the construction deadline to May 1, 2018.
June 20, 2018: Purchase agreement is amended to extend the construction deadline to May 1, 2019.

Try grilling a simple skewer Grilling is many people’s preferred method of cooking, perhaps because it combines the great outdoors with delicious food. When grilling, many people are comfortable sticking with traditional backyard barbecue fare, such as hot dogs and hamburgers. But those who want to expand their grilling horizons can try the following simple recipe for “Grilled Chicken and Onion Skewers” from Amy Kaneko’s “Let’s Cook Japanese Food!” (Chronicle Books).
Joe Beckman, keynote speaker at the 2019 Students of Excellence Recognition event, told 139 high school seniors to remember that “everybody has a story,” and that sometimes they will find that things can get a little messy. Making good human connections is what can make a difference for people. The 2019 Students of Excellence Recognition event was on Wednesday, April 24, at the River’s Edge Convention Center, St. Cloud. The evening honored the top 139 high school seniors from 34 high schools in Resource Training & Solution’s Region 7 in 2019. Criteria for selection to attend the event is at the discretion of the honoree’s school, but also based upon Resource’s recommended guidelines. The honorees receive a plaque recognizing their accomplishments and a certificate from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Resource has hosted the Students of Excellence Recognition event for 33 years. During that time, 4,829 high school seniors have been honored. Beckman went on to suggest students repeat three phrases to themselves when faced with life’s challenges: 1) “Love you” 2) “Push through.” and 3) “Just look up.” “Love You” means to stop comparing yourself to others. “Push through” means that when life is difficult, look for the positives present within the negatives. “Just look up” means always keep appreciation for the small wonders in life-this habit will help when times are tough. Beckman also reminded honorees that technology serves us and is a great tool for connection, but can also be a negative force if students find they are plugged in at the expense of their relationships. He encouraged the audience to remember that human connection matters. Next year’s Students of Excellence Recognition awards ceremony will be on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Nomination information for next year’s event will be available in early March 2020. Resource Training & Solutions is a central Minnesota service cooperative and a nonprofit, member-driven public corporation. Resource provides services, training, and solutions to school districts and city, county, other governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations.
GRILLED CHICKEN & ONION SKEWERS Makes 10 to 12 skewers Ingredients: 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, excess fat removed and cut into bite-size pieces 1 yellow onion, cut into 2-inch wedges, and/ or baby leeks, white part only, cut into 1-inch lengths 1 tablespoon canola or other neutral oil Salt (optional) Basting Sauce (optional) 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup mirin* 2 tablespoons sugar Place 10 to 12 bamboo skewers in water to cover at least 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. If using the basting sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin and sugar over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid just begins to turn syrupy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside in a small bowl.
Drain the skewers. Thread the chicken pieces alternately with the onion pieces onto the skewers, using about 3 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of onion for each skewer. As each skewer is ready, place on a plate. Brush the chicken and onion pieces lightly on all sides with the oil. The grilling goes quickly, so set up your workstation next to the grill before you begin: the plate holding the skewers, the bowl of sauce and a basting brush and/or the salt, and tongs for turning the skewers. If using the basting sauce, either dip each skewer in the sauce or brush the sauce on the skewers and then place directly over the heat. Grill the skewers, turning 3 or 4 times and basting with additional sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are scorched around the edges, about 5 minutes total. If the sauce appears to be burning at any point, move the skewers to a cooler part of the grill, or reduce the heat if using a gas grill. If using salt instead of the basting sauce, place the skewers directly over the heat and grill, turning 3 or 4 times, until cooked through, about 5 minutes

total. Sprinkle both sides of each skewer with salt and remove from the grill. Serve the skewers piping hot. *What is mirin? Mirin is a tangy, sweet rice wine that can be found in the asian section of the grocery store. You can substitute it with a dry sherry. Also, dry white wine or rice vinegar will work with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar added for every Tablespoon used.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Beau Hudoba | 7th Grade | Ogilvie Track & Field Sponsored by: Car Quest www.carquest.com
The Mora Mustangs boys and girls golf teams have waited long enough for the snow to subside, and are finally hitting the links and priming for contention in Section 7 AA. “It’s been kind of a delayed season so far,” said girls team head coach Joy Whitbred. “No pun intended, but it’s been on a par with past springs.” “We’ve started our season off very well, which is very exciting to see,” said boys team head coach Sarah Ellstrom. “We had our first couple of meets just last week, and we placed third at both of them.” “Our team is pretty consistent across the board,” added Whitbred. “We have a strong group of ninth graders and a handful of new golfers, and watching them develop will be fun.” The Mustangs teams feature five senior golfers: Addi Hawkins, Austin Henry, Jacob Newton, Blake Radeke and Kaleb Swenson. Last spring the girls team finished fifth and the boys finished sixth in the Granite Ridge Conference. Seven golfers advanced to the second day of the Section 7 AA tournament: juniors Nate Burski, Grace Harmon, Hunter Honstrom, Alexis Hughes and Alyza Nielsen, sophomore Sierra Thomsen and freshman Garret Honstrom. An annual tradition takes place again on Wednesday, May 8 when the girls team hosts the annual Mora Golf Scramble at Spring Brook Golf Course. Several area schools send teams to Mora, and the girls pair up with someone on their team to participate in a “best ball” tournament. Past participants regularly comment on how much they enjoy the event each year. On Monday, April 29 the boys team headed to a meet in Albany, while the girls set out to a meet in St. Cloud. The Section AA tournament begins Tuesday, May 28 at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, and the State Tournament starts Tuesday, June 11 at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan.

Even though the current fire risk is low, Kanabec County is currently under a burning restriction. Warm temperatures and dry conditions mean increased wildfire risk, so the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will restrict open burning in the following counties effective April 23: Anoka, Benton, Chisago, Douglas, Grant, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Pope, Ramsey, Sherburne, Stearns, Stevens, Todd, Traverse, Washington and Wright. The state will not issue burning permits for brush or yard waste in these counties until restrictions are lifted. “Escaped debris burns are the number one cause of wildfires, so that’s why we issue these restrictions,” said Casey McCoy, DNR fire prevention supervisor. “They really work—we’ve reduced wildfires by nearly a third since we started spring burning restrictions in 2001.” McCoy encourages residents to use alternatives to burning, such as composting, chipping or taking brush to a collection site. For information on how to compost yard debris, visit the DNR’s guide to composting yard debris. People who burn debris will be held financially responsible if their fire escapes and burns other property. Burning restrictions will be adjusted, including extension of restrictions to additional counties, as conditions change.

express their faith. Ritual helps believers to recite prayers, recall familiar scripture or sing beloved music when faith needs to be bolstered. Ritual allows believers to “know by heart” the responses in worship and it gratefully, gracefully comes to us in the dark hours of our lives. Ritual whether it is religious, or practical (as one prepares to get in the field, or put in the garden) gives shape and form because it is familiar. Ritual structures holiday/holy day worships, routines and expectations. It creates the framework that focuses what we do and how we draw meaning from these experiences. As we move through the month of May let us give thanks for the opportunities that we have to celebrate our faith, our moms, our graduates, our freedom and being outside in nature. God has blessed us through the world around us and the faith within us. Let us be ever mindful of the ways that Easter season and rituals all give hope, shape and meaning to the way in which we live. We are an Easter people that are neighbors to faithful people of many religions and faiths. Let us all find comfort in our sacred traditions and rituals.
