From professionals to novices, all smile down the Snake River Canoeists of all skill levels and ages turned out on a beautiful sunny day for the 39th Annual Snake River Canoe Race. The weather was 65 degrees at the start of the race and the water level at 3 feet, 7 inches. Pictured above, Jonathan Sanborn and Erik Hendrickson both of St. Louis Park were the first of three entries in a double kayak. They finished with a time of 1:57:16 — the fastest of all competitors. A total of 133 canoes and kayaks registered for the race. See full race results on page 6.
This summer Kanabec County will complete improvements on the stretch of County Road 6 that runs through Mora as Forest Avenue. On Tuesday, April 16 the City Council unanimously approved Kanabec County’s engineering plans for the improvement of County State Aid Highway 6. The construction area will cover a four-block stretch of Forest Avenue, from Lake Street to Highway 65. Council approval is required for county projects undertaken within city limits. The planned scope of the project includes a three-foot excavation, grading, surfacing, curb and gutter improvements and ADA-compliant sidewalks. “Typically the sidewalks are the city’s responsibility,” said Kanabec County Engineer Chad Grametz. “But the county will take it on with this project, so that we’re compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.” “We hosted a public meeting at an open house, and the improvement has been well received. This stretch of road last had an overlay of pavement 16 years ago, in 2003.” Grametz estimated that the improvements will take about six to eight weeks, if the weather cooperates. “The road will be closed, but we will do our best to ensure to keep cross traffic open toward the end of the project. Signage will direct travelers to businesses and other areas, to make it as uncomplicated as possible,” he said. The county expects to begin work just after July 4, with a completion date around Labor Day.
Kanabec County Clean-Up Day focuses on recycling CONTRIBUTED NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
Over the course of 25 years, 22,500 tires, 12,000 appliances, 5,200 computers and TVs, 800 tons of scrap metal, 27,000 feet of fluorescent lights and 475 mattresses have been collected during Kanabec County Clean Up Day. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Kanabec County Clean Up Day to be held Saturday, May 18, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the East Central Solid Waste Facility (3 miles west of Mora on Highway 23). Watch local papers for information. Emphasis of the event is on recycling. Tires are chipped and reused in road beds, tennis courts and other construction. Appliances and air conditioners are cleaned - refrigerants
and other materials removed. All appliances and scrap metals are taken to a source separator; the individual metals are recycled into new items. The electronics (TV’s, computers, printers, VCR’s, etc.) are separated into individual components and recycled. Fluorescent lights go to a recycler in Pine City. Mattresses are taken to the Good Will in Duluth for recycling. The regular recyclables are sent to Arthur Township and Quality Disposal. The only items entering the landfill from this event are furniture, demolition materials and garbage. Organizer Valerie Prax said all recyclables collected go to vendors who follow good recycling practices; local vendors are used when possible. NEWS 320-679-2661 editor@moraminn.com
She said Clean-Up Day has become part of the culture of Kanabec County. While the gates do not open until 8 a.m, she has seen a line of trucks lined up by 6:30 in the morning. She described people wandering up and down the line of vehicles, coffee in hand, visiting. Mora resident Jim Hoffbeck said at an event past, “Kanabec County rose up out of the ground several inches today with all the junk that has been collected.” ORIGINS Brunswick Livewires 4-H Club started Kanabec County Clean Up Day in 1995 as a 4-H community service project.

Couple donates their change jar to support senior programs Eastwood Life Enrichment Center property manager, Adrian Bixby is very aware of the ďŹ nancial challenges involved in operating the center and maintaining quality programming for area seniors. LEC programs are attended by more than 300 people per month. Most events are free or very low cost for seniors. The construction of the LEC was funded through a HUD EDI grant. However, the LEC does not receive any funding to support its operations. The LEC counts on facility rental, fundraisers, donations and volunteers, as well as limited funding from the Mora Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Adrian and her husband, Jerry, have donated their “change jarâ€? savings to the LEC, and plan to make future donations when the jar is full again. They are challenging others to donate too, recognizing that a little change can make a big difference when others join in the cause.

While all non-perishable donations are welcome, foods that are high in protein such as canned tuna, salmon, beans and peanut butter are most needed.

A bear and Rabbi walk into a bar... (Spoiler alert: they respected each other and had a good time)
A
fter a long summer evening of hide and seek in the yard, playing with sticks, poking anthills and exploring the woods, my mom would call to us kids for a tick check. We’d strip down naked and get a thorough pre-bedtime examination. When us kids found a tick, we knew how to remove it and found joy in flushing them down the toilet to slowly die covered in sewage. That was just a part of growing up for me. Editor Then I had a friend visit from Kirsten Faurie the city. For their family, ticks were rare and far more frightening. I remember my mom fielding calls from their mom before the visit, answering questions about DEET and where the nearest emergency room was. To me their fear seemed silly. Then again, about a third of the people in my family at one point have had Lyme’s Disease, so I guess the fear is a little justified. My point is it’s easy to be afraid of what you’re unfamiliar with. The first time I went swimming in saltwater it was in Tampa Bay. I figured it was connected to the ocean, and the only thing I know about the ocean I learned from TV during Shark Week. I had no idea what was in the water or what I should expect. The person who assuaged my fear was a Jewish woman from Chicago I met during my trip. She also helped with my fear of public transportation and Uber, yet, when I asked her to join me bear hunting in Minnesota she was pretty freaked about the idea. I don’t know very many Jewish people. In fact, I think I have met more black bears in my front yard then I’ve met Jewish people anywhere. It’s not because Jewish people are something to be avoided — It’s just a statistics thing. There are a lot more bears in Kanabec County than Jewish people. Because I have met so few, the most I know about Jewish people I learned from watching Holocaust movies and Seinfeld. Somehow I don’t think I’m getting the complete picture. If the only thing we know about people different than us is what we learned on TV, it probably isn’t very realistic. Just because you aren’t familiar with something or it’s new to you, doesn’t mean you should be afraid. It’s a good idea to learn and do research, but the best teacher is first hand experience. Should I fear a black bear? Well, maybe not fear, but definitely respect as something capable of harm. What about a Jewish person? No more or less than any other person, which again, maybe we shouldn’t fear people, but definitely respect as something capable of harm. Make a conscious effort to meet and learn about those who are different than you, and remember to respect them for who and what they are. It might quiet some unnecessary fears.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
QUOTABLES
Christians in the cross hairs
‘Fighting for one’s freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again.’
To the editor, Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka more than 300 Christians were killed by Islamic militants. On and on the genocide of Christians goes. Some 2000 years ago Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross. His body was placed in a tomb and three days later some women went to the tomb and found that the stone in front of the tomb was rolled away. When the women looked into the tomb they saw an angel of the Lord there and he told them that he is not here, He is risen. He rose from the dead and he is alive. Jesus conquered death, and he did it so that we can have eternal life with him in heaven. We just have to believe in him. Jesus is alive. And he said that He is coming back again. Jesus told his disciples that when you see Me you have seen the Father. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is God, The Trinity, The Three in One, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Now we have Muslims in public office, Omar from Minnesota who can’t help but put her foot in her mouth. Whats in her heart seems to come out of her mouth. Like it or not Christians are in the cross hairs, everywhere, even in the U.S. I wonder if because the truth of God is not in the attackers, that they are justified in killing Christians. Jesus said that we would be persecuted. God created the heavens and the earth. Only God can make a tree. Rex Peterson Mora

HEARD ON THE STREET BY KIM LUECK-FOSS During the Mora Lions city-wide garage sales May 4, we asked the following question:
What does a strong work ethic look like?
Dylan Ammerman, Mora
Holly H ll A Ammerman, McGrath M G h
Chris Stebbing, McGrath
Cory Stanchfield, Brook Park
Tina Engblom, Mora
Kathy Burk, Mora
Working two jobs all week long and working at the garage sale on the weekend.
Being able to adapt to new opportunities.
A commitment for providing the best possible service or workmanship with the loyalty to customer or employer.
Someone who shows up on time and does their job.
Be honest, committed and loyal. If you do what you love, you will love doing it.
It is displayed by someone who always shows up on time, gives it their all, is responsible and can be counted on. Sets a good example for others.
Compromise made with St. Croix State Park name
A
s I meet with people around the district these days, there are two issues being moved forward by Minnesota House Democrats that have most of them fired up: increasing the gas tax by 20-cents per gallon and renaming the St. Croix State Park after former Vice President Walter Mondale. There’s good news to report on one of these topics, as I have reached an agreement State with House leadership on keeping the name Senator St. Croix State Park in Dist. 11B place. The change is this: Nathan Nelson the bill’s author will now propose renaming a section of the St. Croix River as the “Walter F. Mondale Scenic Riverway,” and renaming existing structures after the former Vice President, including the visitors’ center at St. Croix State Park. To me this the best of both worlds.
Nearly 2,000 residents signed a petition asking that the name of our state park be left alone, and the reasons why are not a surprise. Generations of local families have made St. Croix State Park a part of their lives. This is a very personal issue for them, especially considering they weren’t consulted on a name change in the first place. Without the input of concerned citizens, there is little doubt this name would have changed – likely with little publicity. Instead, the name St. Croix State Park will remain. We can and should honor the work that Vice President Mondale has done, but we should also honor and preserve the name St. Croix State Park. This agreement will accomplish both of these goals, and my thanks go out to everyone in our area who spoke out against this proposal and made their voices heard. You made a difference. NATHAN NELSON is the Minnesota House Representative for District 11B which includes most of Pine County as well as Kroschel, Pomroy, Knife Lake, Whited, Arthur, Comfort, Brunswick and Grass Lake townships in Kanabec County.
Tackling teenage mess BY THE AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
Not every teenager’s room looks like a cyclone just hit, but many do. And while some teens certainly have inherited that neat gene, for many parents their teen’s messy room is often the reason for lectures and arguments. In reality, most teens don’t see their rooms as messy. What they see is a place where they can be private and independent. Becoming more independent is a normal part of the developmental process, and a room that looks chaotic, and that probably frustrates mom and dad, is one easy and safe way of declaring this independence. Endless arguments about that messy room seldom change the situation, but a few sensible family rules might make life easier. One rule is that while you may be able to live with some degree of messy, what you can’t abide is health-threatening. Dirty dishes and old food wrappers attract bugs and that’s not acceptable. Another good rule is that hiding the mess behind a closed door is not the answer. You can agree to knock before entering, but as a parent you need to be allowed in. A teen hiding a messy room behind a closed door is not devel-
oping the basic responsibility needed for adult life. There also has to be a rule that the mess doesn’t flow over into family areas. Teenagers, usually without realizing what they’re doing, like to signal their independence and mark their territory by dropping sneakers and jackets everywhere. A good starting point toward a neater teenager’s room is to offer to help, but not to do the job for him or her. Often the mess is so out of control the teen doesn’t know where to start. Parental suggestions on how to break the job into smaller parts can help, as do tips on storage and sorting. You can also allow for independence by allowing your teen to have control over how he or she wants to decorate their space. Those wall posters may not be to your taste but probably mean a lot to your teen. There are lots of areas where parental standards are worth pushing. A messy room, as long as it’s not an unhealthy place, is seldom one. Losing something special in the mess, inviting a new friend over, or just a lack of clean clothes may help motivate change. Don’t push too hard though, just help, encourage and praise change when it happens.
Was Sri Lanka’s temporary block of social media censorship or public safety?
O
n Easter, a series of coordinated bombings in Sri Lanka killed more than 350 people. The attacks took place at three churches and three hotels in three separate cities. Sri Lankan officials have stated that the attacks were carried out by a local radical Islamist group, with help from international militants, and that they were intended as retribution for attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in March. In the wake of this act of terrorism, the First Sri Lankan government temporarily Amendment blocked citizens’ access to several Center major social media platforms, including Lata Nott Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and Snapchat to stop the spread of false news reports. Government officials cited fears that misinformation about the attacks could incite further ethnic and religious violence. Is this an example of a government taking a dramatic and necessary step to ensure the safety of its people? Or is it a misguided act of censorship on the part of a government that doesn’t have the best track record on press freedom in the first place? As a free speech advocate, my first inclination is to say that shutting down ways for people to communicate with each other is never the right way to respond to a crisis and that the citizens of Sri Lanka are better off with more information, even if some of it is false, than they are with none at all (or to be more precise, only the information provided by state-sponsored media outlets). That’s a knee-jerk reaction in me. But then, I run an organization called the First Amendment Center, so that’s not all that surprising. But reading arguments from people who support Sri Lanka’s decision has caused me to consider my initial response more carefully. Don’t get me wrong: I still think that the Sri Lankan government shouldn’t have blocked access to social media in the aftermath of the attacks. For one thing, social media is often an invaluable tool for people to get in touch with each other in the wake of a disaster. As The Washington Post pointed out, the platform WhatsApp is “a chat app that more than 1.5 billion people around the world use monthly to text or make
voice or video calls. Shutting off access to a primary means of communication during an emergency situation may leave those searching for friends and loved ones particularly vulnerable.” And of course, there’s the overarching concern that cutting off access to information in the name of national security is a step away from democracy towards authoritarianism. But I was also struck by a comparison that tech journalist Noam Cohen made when he likened social media to gun ownership — something inherently dangerous that needs comprehensive regulation. “To fail to rein in social networks because of appeals to ‘freedom’ would be like allowing vague words written 250 years ago to get in the way of controlling guns.” This does not seem to be a knee-jerk reaction on Cohen’s part. As he puts it, “I’ve come slowly and in fits and starts to this view. Until recently, I’ve preferred to focus on the bad actors who misuse social networks — not only the hate peddlers but the Silicon Valley CEOs who profit from the networks’ misuse…But by focusing on those individuals’ shortcomings, wasn’t I buying into the argument that there was a good way for these social networks to operate, even during a time of crisis or during divisive elections? …In essence, I was replicating the tired defense of unrestrained gun ownership — social networks don’t kill people, people kill people. In point of fact, guns magnify the violence of their users, as do social networks.” I see Cohen’s point. When you strongly believe in a principle, there’s a tendency to downplay its true cost. Those who advocate for unrestrained gun ownership often argue that stricter gun control laws wouldn’t actually deter crime. But that avoids a much more uncomfortable question: if stricter gun control laws did reduce crime, would you still believe that the right to bear arms is worth the lives put at risk by it? Those of us who advocate for free speech often argue that censoring hateful speech doesn’t get rid of those ideas or make us any safer. But what if it did? Do the benefits of free speech and unfettered communication outweigh their very real human cost? My answer is still yes, but there’s nothing knee jerk about it.

Words of both of healing, harm have real impacts
A
fter hearing something in a class some students decided to try an experiment. They picked one girl and every time they saw her they told her she looked sick, like she didn’t feel well. Dozens of her classmates did this. Though she was fine when she came to school, she left at noon feeling as sick as could be. We often see the reFocus on sults of hurtful words. You’re stupid, you’re Faith worthless, you’re ugly, you’re lazy and the list Rick Marcy goes on. But what about
positive words? I saw a man on a corner in Chicago with a cup begging. I had some left over pizza from lunch. I told him how I came from a really good restaurant and I wanted him to have it. Then I walked on down the street. An hour later I walked past him and with a big smile he thanked me, not for pizza but for seeing him, most people never do. A healing word “I see you.” A woman was going through a tough time, I told her every day in a text “I believe in you.” She has now found strength to take the difficult steps to change her life.
Imagine how we could change the world around us with just a few healing words. You are loved, you are beautiful, you matter to me, you are my friend. It is amazing what words like this can do to lift a person. We could speak them to our spouse, a friend, a coworker, our children or grandchildren. We often assume that people know what we think of them so we don’t say it. But we really should not neglect such a simple and life changing thing as healing words. God has some healing words for us. I love you. John 3:16 I hear you. 1 John 5:14
We often assume that people know what we think of them so we don’t say it.
You are my child. 1 John 3:2 I forgive you. 1 John 1:9 I will never leave or forsake you. Heb 13:5 The Bible is filled with thousands of healing words that God wants to speak to your life and heart. I encourage you to take time each day and hear the healing words God has for you. Will you also take time to look for people who need some healing words and then share those words with them. You just might change their life. RICK MARCY is pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Mora. For questions or comments about this column, contact Preachin20@gmail.com.

Common cataract causes and treatment Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss among people age 40 and older. According to All About Vision, cataracts also are the principal cause of blindness in the world. There are more cases of cataracts worldwide than there are glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, states Prevent Blindness America. Fortunately, cataracts are easily recognized and treated.
What are cataracts? A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. The lens is the clear part of the eye that helps focus light - and images - on the retina. The lens must be clear to receive a sharp image. If the lens is cloudy, vision will be blurred. Cataracts tend to form slowly. Initially, they only affect a small part of the lens, and they’re not very bothersome as a result. However, over time, cataracts can grow and impair vision. Seeing “halos” around lights, fading of colors, sensitivity to light, glare, and the need for brighter light for reading and handling tasks are common symptoms.
What causes cataracts? Various things, including aging or injury

to the eye tissue, can cause cataracts. Prior eye surgery, diabetes, long-term use of steroid medications and inherited genetic disorders also can cause cataracts, says the Mayo Clinic. Smoking and alcohol use as well as consistent exposure to UV sunlight also may contribute to the formation of cataracts. With aging, the lenses in the eyes become less flexible, less transparent and thicker. Tissues within the lens can break down and clump together, clouding small areas within the lens of the eye, thereby forming a cataract. Cataracts may be a subcapsular cataract, which occurs at the back of the lens. A nuclear cataract forms in the center of the lens. A cortical cataract starts in the periphery of the lens and works its way inward to the center.
Treating cataracts Cataracts need only be treated if they are affecting vision severely or preventing examination or treatment of another eye problem. An eye care professional will discuss with patients if surgery is needed. The National Eye Institute says surgery is safe and effective. In roughly 90 percent of cases, people who have undergone cataract

Recommended Vaccinations surgery have better vision afterward. The surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial one. The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis and patients typically stay awake during the surgery. Routine eye examinations are a key part of an overall health plan. They can shed light on the formation of cataracts and help people develop effective treatment plans.

“Calm before the storm” by Michelle Ressler of Isanti received the Judge’s Choice award and a Purchase award at the 32nd annual IMAGE Art Show.
IMAGE displays regional artistic skill CONTRIBUTED
The East Central Regional Arts Council is proud to honor the award winners of the 32nd annual IMAGE Art Show which opened Saturday, April 27. The IMAGE Art Show is an annual event open to any artist residing in Region 7E (the MN counties of Chisago, Kanabec, Isanti, Mille Lacs and Pine.) The Art Show and the awards honor some of the finest art in the area. The judges for the show were Julie Crabtree and Karen M. Marchese. They both have a wide range of artistic skills and art show judging experience. This year Bethany Whitehead and Becky Franklin served as co-curators for the exhibition and began their work looking at all works of art to assess the colors, subject matter, texture, size to assess how to make the show flow well and look good. “I dare say that the IMAGE show is the most eclectic group show I have ever seen - and I have put together more than 40 exhibitions in my history of working in the arts. The artists in this region are talented and clearly have appreciation for nature, but also make political statements and have passion for their hobbies, which comes through in their art,” Whitehead said.
Right: “A New Chapter in the History of Life” by Mike Menasco of North Branch received an Artistic Excellence award
Indeed, this year there is art made with bacon, pennies, gourds, plastic fish and teeth, as well as amazing drawings, paintings, photography, sculpture, prints and more. A total of 164 artists from the East Central Minnesota region entered this year’s IMAGE Art Show and over 300 people attended the opening event which was held at the ECRAC offices in Braham. The two Judge’s Choice (Best of Show) Awards went to Michelle Ressler of Isanti for “Calm before the storm” and Jake Callahan of Princeton for “Cascade Poetry.” There were also 10 Excellence Awards (1st Place) and 10 Merit Awards (2nd Place). Purchase Awards were also made and announced during the show opening. ECRAC purchased five works of art which now become part of the Council's permanent collection of artwork. According to ECRAC Executive Director Mary Minnick-Daniels, "The IMAGE Art Show keeps improving every year. It is an incredibly vibrant art exhibit and a true celebration of all of the wonderful artists that entered." This art exhibition was made possible by The McKnight Foundation and also by the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Legacy Fund.

Lions softball team celebrates landmark win BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
After weather delays the Ogilvie Lions softball team finally got their season underway, celebrating a win against a longtime Section 5A rival. That momentum will help the team close out the regular season, as they aim for Section playoffs. “The season is going really well,” said head coach Jessica Bester. “We got our first win last Thursday [May 2] against Braham. It was a double-header, and junior Maddie Chidester ended up pitching 14 innings. We went into extra innings, and the girls pushed through and got the win. We had good solid pitching,
good defense and a couple of 1-2-3 innings. With two runners on, senior Savanna Gorbunow put the ball into play and brought senior Madi Milbradt home.” “There was great energy in the dugout. We were loud and screaming.” After five games the Lions hold a 1-4 record. They opened the season against Isle on April 4 but weren’t able to get their next game in until April 22 against Hill City. The team finished last spring with a 1-12 record, seventh place in both Section 5A East and the Great River Conference, and lost to Isle in the first round of Section play. Bester said that the first win is a great morale-booster for the

Lions. “It’s huge. We sometimes hit a brick wall, and we just can’t seem to push through,” she said. “It wasn’t just a win; the girls had to dig deep. They were hitting the ball really well, and we had very few strikeouts.” “The great thing about this year is that we’ve had the largest number of girls out for the team in my four years of coaching. We’re able to move players up from junior varsity to the varsity squad, if we need a hit or a baserunner.” To make up for weather delays the team will play eight games in 10 days, four of them at home: Rush City and Isle on May 6 and 7, and Pine City and Mora on May 15 and 16. The Section 5A tournament begins on Tuesday, May 28.

Mustangs tennis achieving ambitious goals THE DETAILS
BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM
The Mora Mustangs boys tennis team have surpassed last spring’s wins total due in large part to motivated seniors, plus the ability to practice and play indoors in inclement weather. “The FirstLight Wellness Center has been a godsend,” said head coach Pete Balmer. “We haven’t had to cancel any home matches. We’ve won three team matches so far this spring, where we only won one last year. And a few matches haven’t gone to a loss until the third set, so we’ve remained in contention.” “We set a goal at the beginning of the season to be the most improved team in Section 6A and the Granite Ridge Conference. And our players have worked really hard to become that.” Balmer said that this year’s team includes six seniors, four of whom have played since seventh grade. “Our seniors have completely changed the team culture this spring. They’ve worked hard in the offseason. We’re still having fun, but we Pete Balmer work hard and we want to win,” he Head Coach said. “Our younger players, down to seventh and eighth grade, see the openings that will be coming and they want to get into those spots.” “Eighth grader Max Sampson played fourth singles for us last year, moved to second singles this year, and he’s now at 8-1. Our one-doubles team of seniors Isaac Balmer and Wilson Krueger won their last five matches, and are at 7-3. The two of them have had big goals all year: they’re one of the top doubles teams in our section.” The Section 6 A team tournament begins on Thursday, May 16, and the individual tournament starts on Monday, May 20. “Right now the team could be anywhere from the fourth to sixth seed in Sections,” said Balmer. “Isaac and Wilson could advance as one-doubles, seniors Isaac DuBois and Erik Moe as two-doubles, and Max Sampson and senior Nick Madison as singles. Isaac Dubois may move to singles, and then senior Jayme Vork would fill his place in doubles.” The Mustangs hosted Pine City on Tuesday, May 7. They travel to New London-Spicer for a three school competition on Friday, May 10, and wrap up the season at Thief River Falls on Friday, May 17.

TALKING WITH THE EXPERTS
Daily checks and DEET can reduce risk of tick-borne illness BY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA UNEWS@UMN.EDU
Spring is well underway, which means that tick season has begun. Many ticks can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites that can harm humans, including Lyme disease. In 2017, there were 1,408 confirmed Lyme disease cases in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Jon Oliver with the University of Minnesota School of Public Health answers questions about where ticks are most prevalent, what people should do to avoid them and what people should do if they find a tick on themselves. Where are ticks most prevalent? Dr. Oliver: Deer ticks require a refuge with a high humidity level, such as the forest leaf layer, so they are most often found in forested areas. Deer ticks are spreading and
becoming more common. They are now found in every forested county in the state. Even in prairie areas, deer carry deer ticks to patches of forested habitat, so people should be vigilant for ticks after visiting any forested area in Minnesota. Adult deer ticks are active in the spring (April through June) and the fall (September through November) when temperatures are above freezing and there is no snow. Immature nymphs are considered more of a disease risk because they are smaller and harder to notice, so they often remain attached and feed for longer. They are mostly active in May through July in Minnesota. What can people do to avoid getting ticks? Dr. Oliver: Tick-borne diseases are more easily prevented than cured. Insect repellents that contain DEET are also effective at repelling ticks. If you spend a lot of time in tick habitats, it may be worth treating a suit of clothes with permethrin,
a repellent/insecticide that works on ticks. The bacteria that cause Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases usually take hours to enter your body after a tick attaches to feed. Daily tick checks will greatly reduce your chance of getting Lyme disease even if you are bitten.
the interactions of ticks and the bacteria they carry as well as the distribution of ticks on the landscape of the Upper Midwest. New diseases are discovered relatively often in Minnesota’s deer ticks and our lab is working to find out how and where new diseases arise.
What should someone do if they find a tick on them?
Ticks also have a varied and diverse microbiome that includes both symbiotic bacteria that help the ticks and pathogens that cause disease. How the pathogens and symbionts interact, as well as how these bacteria affect ticks’ ability to survive and spread, are open questions that we are working to answer. In the future, scientists may be able to manipulate ticks to limit their spread to new places or their ability to carry and transmit pathogens, such as the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.
Dr. Oliver: If you find a tick biting you, use tweezers to grab the tick by its mouthparts where they enter your skin. Pull the tick straight off. Avoid crushing its body. After a tick bite, be mindful of your body’s health. If you develop a rash or flu-like symptoms, visit your doctor and tell him or her about the tick bite. What are you doing to advance research on ticks? Dr. Oliver: With the goal of enhancing human health and reducing human exposure to tick-borne diseases, my research focuses on

M. R. Kent arrested , escaped 125 YEARS AGO (1894) The work train started up again last Friday. Not a vacant tenement house in town. The heavy wind and rain last Saturday assumed the shape of a tornado in Brunswick. It blew down chimneys and unroofed several outbuildings. The hail came down by the bushel. It was reported in the Minneapolis Tribune Monday that M. R. Kent, who disappeared so mysteriously about the time his News from wife was killed, had been found Yesteryear in Trenton, Neb., that he had Matt Anderson and been arrested for forgery and embezzlement committed while living in Mandan, N. D. A later report is that Kent has made his escape again. Charlie Olson went down to White Bear Lake Wednesday to secure the job of superintending a fleet of sail boats on White Bear Lake. Charlie is an expert sailor, having put in several years on salt waters. Some of the small boys in this village are making an attempt to take on the character of “toughs.” Last Saturday night a trio of them besmeared the fronts of a couple of houses with mud and rotten eggs. The marshal’s attention was called to the matter and he has his weather eye on the boys. A chastisement by the parents of these young hoodlums would bring them to their senses probably. “M. R. Kent Arrested:” The following item of news regarding M. R. Kent was taken from the Minneapolis Journal of May 9th: Additional particulars have been gained regarding the escape of Myron Kent from the authorities at Trenton, Neb., where he was arrested last Thursday on the charge of grand larceny, it being claimed that he was wanted for complicity in the murder of his wife at Mandan, N. D., recently. About a month ago, or not more than three or four weeks after the time that the shooting occurred, one W. H. Strong, who is no other than Myron Kent, arrived in Trenton. He began at once casting around for a location in which to engage in business. About a week ago, and shortly before his arrest, L. M. Frank arrived from Michigan. Both of the men were known among residents of Trenton from previous acquaintance in Michigan. Many Trenton people formerly resided in the state, and Strong was identified as Kent. Thursday last, on a telegram re-
ceived by the sheriff of the county in Trenton is located occurred the arrest of Strong, alias Kent. The charge on which the arrest was made is grand larceny, but it is thought that this was trumped up to hold the man until the proper authorities arrived from Grand Forks, for, according to Detective Hoy, it can be shown that Kent paid Tom Zwienski now in jail at Grand Forks, money to kill his wife in order that he might leave the city with another woman who had, within a few days of the time that the deed was committed, put in an appearance and claimed Kent for her husband. Kent, alias Strong, was held by the authorities at Trenton until the following Saturday night, when he managed to elude guard over him and escape. He made good his departure and no trace of his present whereabouts can be gained. L. M. Frank, who arrived shortly before the arrest, is still in Trenton, but just what connection he has with the missing man is not known, although it is believed the two are intimately related with one another in some way. 100 YEARS AGO (1919) “Paul Grahek Returns Home:” Paul Grahek, a brother of John A. Grahek of this village, arrived in Mora last Saturday evening. He left Mora on February 24th, 1918 and for over a year was in France, over three months of which he saw actual trench fighting. He was a member of the famous 35th division which was almost wiped out in the battle of Argonne Woods which was fought in September. This battle lasted seven days. Only 24 men out of 240 men of Company F of the 139th infantry, of which Paul was a member, were able to answer roll call after the battle, his other comrades were either injured, missing or captured. He also saw service in the St. Michael offensive and Verdun trenches. He was gassed and had parts of his clothing shot from his body on several occasions. “Thoughts:” How still it is! The busy work-a-day world has ceased its labors, the rush and turmoil of daily strife is over, and night stretches its somber shadows over all. No sound but the drip of the blessed rain breaks the silence, and it falls in a soft, slow dripping as though loath to break the slumber. Sitting alone in the stillness of our room, looking out into the darkness, listening to the patter of the raindrops, thoughts too many and many of them too painful, come thronging up in our brain--thoughts that keep “Death’s twin sister, Sleep” far away. There are many things, as we think of them, that should not have been neglect-
ed, many unkind words spoken that can never be recalled whose wounds nor afterwords or deeds can entirely heal. The flesh may heal over wounds, but the scar ever remains; this is true of a flesh wound, and more so where the feelings, the heart, has been hurt. Strange, too, that it is not the alien, the sometime guest, or the acquaintance, upon whom we inflict this wound, but those who are nearest and dearest--those upon whom existence of our lives, as it were, depends---those who love us and are entitled to all the love and endearing words, all the little acts of kindness that go toward making a happy life. Think when we frown upon one of the household band, who would give their life, if need be, for our pleasure and turn with a sweet smile and pleasant word for the stranger, the friend of an hour, who would care not into what depths of misery we might be plunged. 75 YEARS AGO (1944) “J. S. Olson On Program:” The lumber industry is facing many serious conditions these days. One of the most acute situations is the shortage of competent sawmill saw-smiths or saw-setters. The Minnesota Lumberman reports that there are only 150 qualified setters in the country. J. S. Olson of Henriette bears the distinction of being among the best of this limited group. 50 YEARS AGO (1969) “McCormick to Open Restaurant in Williams Building:” George Baldwin announced this week that he has purchased the Williams building which now houses the DeLuxe cafe and Okie’s store. The property, which adjoins the Mora Bakery, will be completely remodeled inside and out. Work will begin about June 1. 25 YEARS AGO (1994) “Saluting our older workers! :” In honor of workers who are 55 years of age or more, Gov. Carlson has designated the week of May 9-13 as “Older Worker Week.” .... The familiar faces of many older employees are evident locally every day. Orlando Lee has spent nine years in the Green Thumb program, the last three working at the Kanabec History Center. “I farmed 40 years on my farm west of Mora,” said Lee, who is 71. “Here at the History Center, I do janitorial work, some painting, shoveling, raking, and mowing. It keeps me busy.” THE NEWS From Yesteryear is compiled by Matt Anderson from the Times historical editions housed by the Kanabec History Center.

Caribbean flavor warms away chills of spring rain Spring rain can make us feel chilled one day or warm the next. It can be relentless and make it challenging to stay dry. After braving the great outdoors, a meal that can quickly warm the core is fitting - especially if that meal can serve double-duty by evoking feelings of a warm climate. Popular throughout the Caribbean, this recipe for “Fish and Sweet Potato Soup” from “The Complete Mexican, South American & Caribbean Cookbook” (Metro Books) by Jane Milton, Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli, matches the subtle sweetness of sweet potato and the stronger infusion of flavors from fish and oregano to make for a warm and appetizing soup.
FISH AND SWEET POTATO SOUP Serves 4 Ingredients: 6 ounces white fish fillet, skinned 1/2 onion, chopped 1 sweet potato, about 6 ounces, peeled and diced 1 small carrot, about 2 ounces, chopped 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 5 1/2 cups fish stock 5 tablespoons light cream Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish Remove any bones from the fish and put it in a pot. Add the onion, sweet potato, carrot, oregano, cinnamon, and half of the stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. Leave to cool, then pour into a food processor, and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot, stir in the remaining fish stock, and gently bring to a boil. Reduce the heat. Stir the cream into the soup, then gently heat it through without boiling. If the soup boils, the cream will curdle. Serve hot, garnished with the chopped parsley.
CLEAN-UP: County comes together to take out the trash FROM PAGE 1
tires dumped in the ditch on a Brunswick Township road, the 4-H members, with the encouragement of Prax and Anita Gislason, decided to help people clean up. The event morphed into a full county event the first year. The first several years, the event was held on the Kanabec County Fairgrounds. When the line on Union St. went downtown past the theater, the event moved to the East Central Solid Waste Facility. The event is organized by Kanabec County 4-H, with the same group of volunteers still providing the key leadership. This is a community service project of 4-H. 4-H does benefit from the small amount of funds raised, but the goal is to provide a service. 4-H is an organization that promotes environmental education, leadership and community service. This program is a great opportunity for youth and adults to work together on a community project. Some of the youth involved 25 years ago when the program
began are still involved, returning from college and adult lives elsewhere to help with the event. One of the successful aspects of this program is the partnership between Kanabec County government and University of Minnesota Extension, Kanabec County 4-H. The County provides SCORE funds (the sales tax on garbage bills; earmarked for recycling and environmental education projects) to cover most of the overhead costs. This allows Kanabec County 4-H to realize a small profit. These funds go to support various Kanabec County 4-H activities and programs. The goal is to keep prices as low as possible to encourage people to properly dispose of items that can be recycled. About 60 volunteers work hard, including Kanabec County 4-H youth and volunteers, Kanabec County Commissioners, Mora High School Honor Society students, and residents needing community service hours. Organizers gave special recognition to Pat O’Brien for his help
picking up from some senior citizens, and managing the appliances every year. Prax said he has been helping with this event for many years, with enthusiasm. Cory Stanchfield and Donna Golly provide outstanding lunch to the workers; 4-H Volunteer Carmel Gorham has headed up electronics for years, many 4-H families have been helping every year. The Kanabec County Commissioners, especially Kathi Ellis, come to work each year. Prax said the East Central Solid Waste Commission employees are very helpful before the event, and several work that day. Many of the Kanabec County Townships support this venture. The Kanabec County Sheriff’s Reserves are needed to keep the waiting traffic off Highway 23. The Kanabec County Highway Department and several townships participate, collecting items from road ditches, saving tax dollars. For more information, call 320679-5207 or email mvprax@Q.com.
