Braham male airlifted after rollover STAFF REPORT NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Three Braham males were involved in a single-vehicle rollover early morning June 30. Isanti County Communications received a report of the rural Isanti County accident at 5:52 a.m.

According to the report, there were three people in the car when it rolled over. During the investigation, it was determined the 2000

Pontiac Grand Am appeared to be going south on County Road 10 in Stanford Township. The driver, a 19-year-old male from Braham, apparently fell asleep and hit a driveway approach and then the intersection at 269th Avenue NW, causing the vehicle to roll. The two passengers were 17-year-old males from Braham.

One of the passengers, who was not wearing his seatbelt, appeared to have neck and back injuries and

could not move. The passenger was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center for treatment. The other two were treated at an area hospital.

There was no alcohol or drugs detected on the driver. The case remains under investigation by the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office.

Isanti Fire District, Allina Ambulance, Braham Police Department and Isanti County Safety and Rescue assisted with the incident.

photographed it and included it in an article in the New York Times.

The Trailview School renovation is well under way, with significant progress made since the April 26 groundbreaking and more anticipated in the near future.

At the Mora School Board Meeting on Thursday, June 23, senior project manager Damien Williams and site supervisor Joe Vry from Duluth-based engineering firm Foster, Jacobs and Johnson provided a progress report.

“Construction started the last week of May, and things are underway,” Williams said, “We have about 50 workers on site, and we’re making good, solid progress.”

Damien Williams “The board was fortunate Senior project manager before the meeting to be able to tour the site for the first time since the day the shovels hit the dirt,” said board chair Karen Kirschner. “It was pretty darn exciting.”

Vry summarized the progress that has been made to date. “The administration, cafeteria, and kitchen areas are well underway. The gymnasium area has been excavated, and footings and foundation will soon be in place there. Footings and foundations are in place through the rest of the area. You’ll see huge changes within the next few weeks.”

Williams said that due to budget efficiency FJJ has added in some features that had previously been taken out of the project, such as extra casework in the classrooms. Requests for bids on lighting upgrades, cafeteria cabinets, and a boiler upgrade have all been released, or will be shortly. Other items are “in design,” he said,

Utecht perfects the art of felting wool fleeces

BY TERRY SALMELA NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

Becky Utecht, rural Ogilvie sheep producer and artist, has combined her interest in the science of raising wool sheep breeds with the craft of creating works of art from wool.

She has received several honors and recognition for her work. Her 2009 felted artwork, titled “Portrait of Lena” won Best of Show in the East Central Arts Council’s regional Image Art Show. It went on to be included in the Lark Books’ “500 Felt Objects” and it took second place in the fiber/textile category at the 2010 Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition. The piece was sold at the fair to a photographer in Paris, France.

Another of her works, “Mystery Felted Fleece” was selected for display in the Textile Center’s

Question: I frequently encounter a traffic situation while riding my bicycle. I ride with traffic and adhere to the same rules as when I’m behind the wheel of my own vehicle.

When I come to a stop sign on my bike and the crossing traffic does not have the same, many drivers will stop and attempt Ask a to wave me across.

I will wave the poTrooper lite crossing drivSgt. Neil er to move along.

My thought is I’m Dickenson riding in a lane of traffic and want to be treated the same as other traffic. If I want to be treated as a pedestrian, I will dismount my bike and cross at the crosswalk. I feel it is best to proceed through an intersection when crossing traffic is sufficiently spaced so I can make it across just as I would in an automobile. Accepting a wave by a driver doesn’t necessarily assure my safe crossing as crossing traffic from the other direction may or may not stop. Do you think drivers should only stop if a bicyclist dismounts and/or enters the crosswalk? Or am I misinterpreting

their stopping as politeness when in fact they are legally required to stop?

Answer: If the bicyclist is off their bicycle at an intersection and walks across, they have all the rights at the intersection as a pedestrian would. Motorists must stop for crossing pedestrians at every intersection, even those without crosswalks or stoplights. Motorists should stop far enough back so drivers in other lanes can also see the pedestrian in time to stop.

Those riding a bicycle must obey all traffic control signs and signals, just as motorists. Bicycle-vehicle collisions are due to a variety of behaviors by the rider, such as disregarding a traffic sign or signal, inattention and distraction.

Bicyclists and motorists are equally responsible for safety on the road. The number one contributing factor to bicycle-vehicle collisions is failure to yield the rightof-way — by bicyclists and drivers alike.

Each year in Minnesota, approximately 40 pedestrians and 10 bicyclists are killed as a result of collisions with motor vehicles.

As a group, pedestrians and bicyclists comprise nearly 10 percent of all traffic fatalities each year —71 percent of these fatal crashes occur in urban areas.

30 percent of pedestrians and 8 percent of bicyclists killed had consumed alcohol.

15 percent of pedestrians killed were not crossing properly.

RULES OF THE ROAD AND SAFETY TIPS Bicyclists may ride on all Minnesota roads, except where restricted.

Bicyclists should ride on the road, and must ride in the same direction as traffic.

Motorists must at all times maintain a three-foot clearance when passing a bicyclist.

Bicyclists must signal their turns and should ride in a predictable manner.

Bicyclists must use a headlight and rear reflectors when it’s dark.

To increase visibility, add a rear flashing light.

Motorists must drive at safe speeds and be attentive — look for bicyclists and check blind spots.

Drivers should use caution and look twice for riders when turning.

For questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send questions to Sgt. Neil Dickenson – Minnesota State Patrol at 1131 Mesaba Ave, Duluth, MN 55811.

Tolerances to 5 senses differ for each child

T

he feel of cool, prickly grass on your feet or the warm sand between your toes at the beach is a welcome sign of summer. However, for some people, these sensory items can be painful or hard to manage.

Children, just like adults, have a different tolerance for sensory stimulation. For some children, noises can be too loud, while others can hardly hear what is bothering them. Things like glue or paint can make a child squeamish, but another child relishes the feel. Tasting items or the texture of the food can be a pleasant experience for one child and a rude disgusting experience for another. A smell can be stinky to one child and pretty to another. Visually, one can be distracted by very Kids Corner child little going on and another child Dawn van Hees can stay focused with chaos all around. Behaviors are sometimes shaped by our senses.

Our five senses help us to explore and understand the world around us and for adults working with children, this can pose some challenges.

As adults, we don’t always stop to think why a child is reacting to their hands being dirty or why a wet diaper doesn’t bother them. Each person reacts differently with their senses and understanding your child’s tolerance is a helpful tool for your tool box. For example, if you have a child whose hearing is very sensitive, you will want to be proactive when they are around loud noises. The sound of a self-flushing toilet or the super hand driers could cause a child with sensitive hearing to avoid the bathroom.

On a recent road trip, my granddaughter started to refuse to use the bathroom. Once I realized it was due to the loud hand driers, I helped her by covering her ears while she dried her hands, problem solved.

Another thought is for children who don’t like to get their hands messy, pushing them to finger paint or make mud pies might be too much. Start slow and offer little mess or less messy projects.

There are many tools children can use to not get their hands messy. Paint brushes are good for paint and for glue. For those children who don’t mind messy hands, make sure you offer them opportunities to get messy, so they can explore with that sense.

As you go through this summer, think about your five senses and how you react to them, and compare that to your child. It might just be that the next time they have a behavior issue, their senses are involved.

‘Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. ‘

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘No Fly-No Buy’ makes good sense To the Editor: I applaud Congressman Rick Nolan’s courageous stand in favor of the common sense “No Fly-No Buy” bill to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists who want to kill Americans.

In judging his decision to take action, please ask yourself this simple question: Should someone dangerous enough to be included on the FBI’s “No Fly” Terrorist Watch List be permitted to buy a gun?

That is right. That is what the well-publicized “sit-in” on the House floor was all about. Congressman Nolan, along with Congressman John Lewis and so many others, were demanding that Republican leaders permit Congress to vote on a bipartisan bill to stop a potential terrorist from walking into a gun store to buy a weapon to be used to kill innocent people like the 49 who were murdered in Orlando.

Like many of us Congressman Nolan is a lifelong hunter and a strong supporter of the Second Amendment that permits law-abiding citizens to keep and bare arms.

Terrorists are not law-abiding citizens. They are criminals and murders.

Hypnotized by the NRA

To the Editor: The NRA has done an amazing job of hypnotizing thousands of good citizens to do the “slippery slope” reaction any time there is even the most reasonable call to regulate the sale of the most efficient, lethal weapons favored by mass murderers. A mass hypnotic trance is the only explanation for the thousands of otherwise sane citizens believing that they are less safe if we halt future sales of assault weapons.

Do these people really think for personal protection they want to buy and carry around a combat weapon capable of shooting dozens of people in half a minute?

Is this what they are “protecting”? Actually, they are the unwitting protectors of billions of dollars of gun industry commerce.

Sorry to say but we aren’t living in Mayberry Several years ago we visited the North Carolina small town of Mt. Airy, the model for Mayberry in the Andy Griffith Show. Just down the road is Pilot Mountain, which became the town of Mount Pilot in the TV show. In Mt. Airy, there are replicas of Floyd’s Barbershop, the sheriff’s squad car with the “cherry on top,” and the Snappy Lunch Cafe. Mayberry is a fictional small town that probably never was and never will be.

Frequently in court we see cases of juvenile “car shopping” where teens look for unlocked cars and steal change, DVDs, sunglasses, GPSs, cellphones and anything else of value. There also was a letter in the Monticello Times from a single parent who left her garage unlocked and was the victim of a burglar who emptied a freezer full of meat. While in the whole scheme of criminal justice these are lesser crimes,

it shows none of us lives in a fictional Mayberry.

In these times I find it amazing that folks still leave their cars, garages, and even homes unlocked.

This habit is simply asking to be victimized.

Occasiona l ly It’s In Your we have defendants in court Court that go “mailbox shopping” Judge and seem to Stephen Halsey focus on rural mailboxes with the red flag up indicating there is an outgoing piece of mail in the mailbox. It’s an invitation for theft even though it’s a federal offense to steal mail.

Seems to me a little common sense would mean avoiding the theft of mail. More recently, the “opioid epidemic” is due,

in part, to teens (and visitors) taking their parents or siblings opioid medication left free for the taking in the family medicine cabinet.

Many of you grew up on farms or in small towns where you never locked the house, barn, car, or garage, and you probably left the keys in the car. If you have any doubt that we don’t live in Mayberry, I invite you to sit for a couple of hours in criminal court. Any trust that you may have about people who may wander into your neighborhood selling stuff door-to-door (or maybe “casing” houses) will be quickly dispelled. There are many desperate people who would be happy to relieve you of any items not tied down or locked up, and then pawn them.

Is this a sorry state of affairs?

Certainly. Is ignorance bliss?

Certainly. But to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Lastly, many parents seem

to think they and their children live in Mayberry. They harken back to the 1950s and 1960s when they rode around town or on county roads on their bikes (without helmets) with the banana seats and high handlebars, living free without a care in the world. Parents allow their children and teens to wander around their small towns and county roads into the wee hours of the morning, many drinking and smoking marijuana (or worse) in cars with friends, or participating in wanton vandalism, as if this is 1955 Smalltown, Minnesota.

A friend’s dad used to tell him “back in the day” that “nothing good happens after midnight.”

He was so right. Parents need to be more vigilant about what their teens are up to after dark.

Many find out too late when their 18-year-old is sitting in court in an orange jump suit with chains on their feet and hands, having been arrested

overnight for allegedly participating in a felony or addicted to opioids. We frequently hear that their child is a “good boy” (or girl) and that it was their friends that made them do it.

A worse tragedy is a child that is seriously injured or dies as a result of someone else’s drunk driving.

In the 1980s police show “Hill Street Blues” the desk sergeant at roll call before a shift would tell the patrol officers, “Be careful out there.” Ditto.

Join the fireworks: The ones you watch or the ones around freedom This year’s State of the First Amendment national survey (SOFA), conducted in partnership with USA TODAY, does more than just sample our attitudes about those five core freedoms — it also may show just how those freedoms can work.

Overall, the survey’s specific findings tilt to the positive on the First Amendment, thankfully. But there also are a few signs that we and our fellow citizens can do a better job of supporting freedom, or even knowing its components.

A whopping 86 percent reject the notion that free speech ought to give way to protecting people from things that might offend them. When it comes to college campuses — where the impact of negative speech on social media really hits home — support even for speech that offends still stands at 57 percent. Only when it comes to high school students does free speech come up short of a majority: Just 35 percent say it’s OK for those students to offend others.

The survey, conducted by the Newseum Institute’s First Amendment Center since 1997,

still finds strong support for a free press as a “watchdog on government,” though 74 percent doubt “news media attempt to report the news without bias.”

But perhaps the latter is not as much of an indictment in a time when some liberal and conservative news operations tout their points-ofFirst view.

Amendment Eight out of 10 are conCenter cerned about Gene Policinski i n d i v i d u a l privacy in the Digital Age, but more than six of 10 would permit the government “to be able to force companies to unlock the data saved on the smartphones of customers who are accused of terrorist acts.”

So let’s turn to an interesting change in attitudes following the tragic mass shooting in Orlando on June 12. The horrifying attack, in which 49 people were shot by an assailant, was followed by a burst of

anti-Islamic rhetoric following the killer’s declaration of allegiance to ISIS. In turn, all of that was followed by social and political pushback in the other direction. Muslim leaders decried the use of their faith to justify hatred of the United States or homophobic terrorism. Opposition was vocal to calls to increase surveillance of Muslims in America, or presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s continued suggestion of a ban for an indeterminate period on Muslims entering the United States.

The Center went into the field in late May with its annual, national survey of adults — days before the deaths in Orlando.

But given the intense national debate involving religious liberty after the attack, a second round of sampling was commissioned and completed on June 27.

The second survey found support for First Amendment protection for what respondents might consider fringe or extreme faiths actually increased, despite anti-Muslim rhetoric and reports of an ISIS

connection that followed the worst mass shooting in U.S. history: The number of people who said such protection does not extend to such faiths dropped from 29 percent to 22 percent.

In both surveys, just over 1,000 adults were sampled by telephone, and the margin of error in the surveys was plus/ minus 3.2 percent.

The First Amendment is predicated on the notion that citizens able to freely debate — without government censorship or direction — will exchange views, sometimes strongly and on controversial subjects and find common ground.

In this case, that exchange of views seemingly produced increased support for protecting views many would find offensive, even in the face of violence. In at least this survey’s findings, the nation spoke — in favor of freedom.

There’s one more result from this year’s State of the First Amendment that’s worth noting — nearly four in 10 of those questioned could not name a single freedom in the First Amendment unaided. For

the record, they are religion, speech, press, assembly and petition.

Perhaps not identifying any one of the five as part of the First Amendment is not the same as not knowing you have those core freedoms. But neither does it build confidence that as a nation, we have a deep understanding of the core elements of what distinguishes our nation among others, or is so fundamental to the unique American experience of self-governance.

So in the spirit of our national July 4th holiday . . . and of the First Amendment yearround: Join in the fireworks — the ones you watch or the ones around important issues.

And repeat after me: religion, speech, press, assembly and petition.

FLEECE: Utecht’s work has given her publicity across the United States FROM PAGE 1

Suddenly, Utecht was getting emails from people in New York asking her how they could purchase a felt pelt.

Her artistic wool creations have also created a demand for her to teach classes on the felt making techniques that she has perfected. One such technique is her modern approach to an age-old craft.

She teaches students how to convert an unwashed sheep fleece into a luxurious, wooly and warm blanket without harming a sheep while retaining the lovely natural form of the fleece.

This is the class that she is teaching at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais on July 9 and 10. She also teaches classes at her home studio north of Ogilvie and Ann Lake. She has also taught felt making classes at several venues including Shepherd’s Harvest Sheep and Wool Festival, the Midwest Felting Conference Symposium in Madison, Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival in Jefferson, Wisconsin Utecht started raising sheep in 2001. She researched sheep breeds and decided on Shetland sheep because of their small size, hardiness and

wool. Shetland wool can be spun so fine that an entire shawl can be slipped through a wedding ring.

She learned a lot from online sheep forums in which Janet McNally of Hinckley, former lamb and wool instructor at Pine Technical College offered a lot of advice.

Utecht also served as the secretary of the Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers for two years.

She started with two Shetland sheep ewes in 2001. The first lambs were born in 2002. She expanded her flock to include Bluefaced Leicester sheep in 2006. Bluefaced Leicesters are used as crossing sires in the UK to increase the length of loin, improve fleece quality and milking ability in the offspring.

Utecht has gone on to use Finn and Teeswater rams on her Shetland, Bluefaced Leicester and Wensleydale ewes in her quest for the perfect fleece. Over the years she’s had as many as 45 sheep, but dropped the flock down to 10 after her husband Stan passed away in 2011. The current headcount is 31.

Utecht got into working with wool with the “Common Threads” Mora Spinners Guild.

With their help she started spinning wool into yarn

TERRY SALMELA | TIMES

Becky demonstrated how she layered, wet and rolled a fleece pelt to create a felt pelt.

Utecht selects fleeces from sheep for color and length to create a decorative piece. which became addicting.

Initially she thought that she could never afford a spinning wheel. Now she and Sid Frantz have eight wheels.

In 2005 and 2006 she did her first felting and was hooked. She said that carding, spinning, weaving and knitting are re-

laxing and enjoyable, but felting is a much more efficient use of time.

She researched and met international felters online including Elis Vermeulen from Middleburg, Netherlands. “I would never have known about raw felted fleeces or learned to do this unless I saw her website,” said Becky. She also connected with several professional felters in Minneapolis and around the United States and Canada.

Utecht applied for and received an East Central Arts Council Grant in 2010 to purchase a felt rolling machine. What

she read in the books that came with it about felting raw fleeces did not work for her. So, in 2011 she used her common sense and trial and error to perfect her felting technique to create raw felted fleeces, also called “felt pelts” or “humane sheep skins.”

She has taught this process in her outdoor studio and at the 2014 Midwest Felting Conference in Madison, Wisconsin.

She selects fleeces from sheep for color and length to create a decorative piece. The process involves using a sheared fleece layered with wool roving or combed top over

cheese cloth. It is wetted and rolled to blend the fibers together to make an unwoven fabric. “It’s like sheep do when they rub against a fence post,” said Utecht. “Wool has scales that when wet and agitated will bond together.”

The felted fleece process is done outside because dirty water is involved and can get a bit messy.

Utecht said that people like to use her technique because it can be done in a day, you do not have to kill the sheep and you can use a fleece from wool or meat breeds of sheep.

The final product looks like a fleece without the sheep skin and the sheep is still alive and growing a fleece for next year. She said, “People like the colors and patterns that you get from Shetland fleeces which have longer stapled locks.

In the future, Utecht would like to teach classes on making a cobweb felt wool lamp shade and eco-printing. Other wool felting projects that she teaches include a woolen birdhouse, wall hangings, hats and scarves.

such as painting and an additional restroom in the Early Childhood Family Education area.

Design of a multi-purpose area and additional parking areas will begin in early fall, Williams continued, with bidding taking place before the end of the year. Wetland protection tasks are out for pricing, and fire lanes and an additional softball field are both being designed and should be sent out for pricing soon.

“We’ll have five 200-foot softball fields,” he said.

“And we hope to get that work done by the end of August.”

In May 2015, voters approved a $19.7 million bond referendum for the 57,500 square foot expansion to Trailview for grades K-2, which will replace Fairview School.

The school board approved the design and layout on Oct. 1. A request for bids was released on Jan. 19, and bids were opened on Feb. 18 and approved on Feb. 25. Ground was broken on April, 26, and the date set for vacating the Fairview facility is Sept. 1, 2017.

Your Lawn and Garden Guide

Repotting Plants Gardening time is well under way and people are enjoying plants both inside and outside of their homes. Container gardening, which is a planting method in which flowers and other plants are grown in pots and other containers, is quite popular because of design versatility. Containers can be moved from location to location if plants are not thriving in a particular spot. They also make gardening possible when there isn’t any available land space, which might be the case for apartment-dwellers.

Flower pots enable plant enthusiasts to enjoy foliage inside of the home as well. Houseplants can add beauty to interior spaces and help filter indoor air. In the late 1980s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America actually studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants are particularly good at filtering out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Having plants around can create inviting spaces and improve healthy conditions inside and out.

Part of caring for plants in containers involves knowing when a potted plant might need a little tender loving care. As plants grow larger, they may outgrow their containers and require more roomy quarters. Without ample space, plants may not be able to adequately draw up water and nutrients to

support top growth. Repotting may seem like it is easy, but it actually takes a little finesse so not to damage the plants.

• Be sure the plant is well watered for a few days prior to the repotting process. Watering also will help loosen the root ball from inside of the smaller pot.

• A plant ready for repotting should slide out with most of the soil in one piece. If the soil is freefalling, it may not need to be repotted at this point because there’s still room for the roots to expand.

Other signs that plants may need repotting include roots poking out of the soil or plants that are straggly and pale.

• Consider repotting outside because the process can be messy. Have all of your materials, which include a trowel, gloves, scissors, and potting soil, handy so that you can tackle the process smoothly.

• Remove your plant from the pot carefully. Place the plant on its side, then support the main stem in one hand and use the other hand to gently pull the pot away. Be careful not to pull on the main stem or break the stem.

• Cut away any rotten or dead roots, and trim really long ends. Make three or four vertical cuts about a third of the way up the remaining root

• Choose a new pot that is slightly larger than the root ball. Fill the pot with soil so that the root ball sits about an inch below the rim of the pot. Add more soil around the roots to fill the pot. Be sure to leave enough room so that with each watering the pot can hold water.

• Thoroughly water the plant after repotting to moisten the soil.

Watch your plant afterwards to be sure that it’s taking to its new potted home. It can take around three to four weeks for the plant to recover from repotting. Water regularly, avoid fertilizing and keep the plant out of direct sunlight.

NEWS FROM YESTERYEAR 125 YEARS AGO (1891) “Prehistoric masonry:” While some workmen in Huntington, Indiana were cutting down a lot to a proper level the other day, and when they were about six feet below the surface of the earth, some rude masonry was discovered. The structure formed a vault about six feet in diameter and three feet high. The stone composing the structure were of the limestone variety and were of a kind that is never found in that city unless it is brought there.

What the vault had been intended for is not known, as there was nothing found in it. It is thought to have been built by the mound builders. --Philadelphia Ledger.

C. E. Doolittle, the new stage driver between this place and Pine City drives a neat covered rig for the comMatt Anderson fort of his passengers. He makes three trips a week leaving Mora on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of each week.

Harry Stone brought in a bunch of clover Monday which measured four feet in length; it is on exhibition at this office and is probably the longest sample in the county. Mr. Stone has our thanks for a mess of large new potatoes dug from his garden.

A letter received from J. C. Morrison yesterday, informs us that he arrived at Chicago all right and has engaged quarters at Room 19, National Hotel, 228 Clark Street. He has already begun to boom Kanabec County in the Chicago papers and sends us clippings of four different advertisements which he has inserted.

The haying season has begun. Speaking about the hay crop the other day Martin Nystrom said that his timothy was so heavy that it had lodged. The crop is growing on a piece of wild meadow land which was burned off during the dry season two years ago and on which at that time he sowed the seed without breaking.

Hardly a week passes that we do not hear a complaint about the poor condition about of the road between Mora and Mille Lacs Lake. We hope the board of county commissioners of this county at their next meeting will take some steps to put this road in passable condition. The interests of the whole county demand a good road.

Will someone tell us what that fence was erected around the courthouse square is for? It has been built about six years and at the three gateways there has not yet been a single gate hung. We do not think it would be out of place to put up some gates; they would not only keep the cattle out but also improve the appearance of the premises.

Mr. Edward R. Whelan, a brother actor of Alfred Molander’s, arrived here from Chicago last week and will assist Mr. Molander in organizing his theatrical troupe. They expect to engage the services of a wellknown actress of Chicago who will be the star. Mr. Whelan has been on the stage 11 years and connected with some of the best companies on the road. “The Phoenix” is the title of the first play they will produce.

They will open at Mora and make a circuit of the towns of Northern Minnesota.

100 YEARS AGO (1916) “A word about the new creamery:” First of all we wish to thank all those who have aided by hauling rock and gravel, and also in the filling of the icehouse and willing spirit with which this was done has been very pleasing indeed. We wish to thank Mr. E. J. Mathy and Mr. A. S. Gustason for the working out of the plans for the building and also Mr. P. J. Edin for the workmanship and early completion of the building.

The weather conditions of the late spring caused many delays, but the work was pushed forward as rapidly as possible and with the exception of a little trouble with steam pipe connections is complete and is a modern creamery, equipped with the latest improved machinery and operated with power from the electric power plant.

By using electric power and steam from the power plant the dust and dirt and oil of the boiler and engine are eliminated, and the danger of fire is greatly lessened. We feel that we have a fine location and a model creamery. Our motto is, “Quality First” and the

ty Commission on Aging, became a reality just a little over a year ago. Today, the center has expansion plans which will bring into being many of the plans so desired by the commission for Kanabec County’s senior citizens.

Just a few weeks ago it was announced that Kanabec County had been granted $20,682 for the expansion of services to senior citizens of the area. Soon the Towne House will have workshop facilities so that hobbies can be carried on right at the center. Also in the near future satellite centers will be opened at Ogilvie, Brunswick, Grasston and Quamba. These will be on a one-day-a-week basis, except Ogilvie, where programs will be planned for two days a week.

“Co-op locker plant closes:” The Farmers Co-op Creamery Locker plant closed on July 1 after serving the area for a period of over 19 years. Opened in January 1947 the plant filled a real need in the community.

The plant was built at a cost of $35,000 and provided 1,014 lockers.

However, advent of home freezers gradually expanded to a point where the creamery felt it could use the space more advantageously for its expanding operations.

Fred McNeal, who has managed the plant here for a number of years, plans to take a vacation.

“Mora Car Wash to hold grand opening Thursday, Friday:” The Mora Car Wash is holding a grand opening this week Thursday and Friday, July 7 and 8. Free car wash will be available from 3 to 6 p.m. and free refreshments will be served.

The new car wash is located on south Highway 65 and features the sofspra process.

management is very desirous of getting as much of the cream as possible brought in sweet and in the forenoon, and we trust the patrons will cooperate with us in doing this which will give the buttermaker a chance to control the product after it arrives at the creamery.

75 YEARS AGO (1941) “Blaze destroys farm home:” The C. W. Stegeman home in Arthur Township was razed by fire, which also destroyed their clothing and other household effects, last Friday night. Only a small amount of insurance was carried on the belongings, and the house was partially insured. The origin of the fire is not known, but it started in the top part of the house. Lack of help prevented the Stegemans from getting more than one bed out of the burning house.

“Village again has town clock; Kanabec State Bank installs time keeper for convenience of general public:” Mora is to have a town clock again. For several years the former State Bank maintained an electrical clock in front of its building. At the time the bank consolidated with the Kanabec State Bank the clock was out of commission and has continued so.

The new clock has been installed by the Kanabec State Bank in front of its building. It is the latest thing in clocks of this type. The chimes will be heard each quarter hour until 11 p.m. and at the hour a gong will toll out the time of day or night.

“Governor Stassen will speak at county fair; his talk will be delivered in afternoon of last day, Aug. 20:” The dates for holding Kanabec County’s 46th annual fair have been set for Aug. 16-18-19-20. The first day, which falls on Saturday, will be entry day.

The big attraction for the last day of the fair, Aug. 20, will be an address by Governor Harold E. Stassen.

This will be his first public appearance in Kanabec County. He is a fluent and interesting speaker and no doubt will attract a large audience. The governor’s talk will be made in the early afternoon ahead of the grandstand program.

50 YEARS AGO (1966) “Towne House facilities expand satellite centers are planned:” Mora’s Towne House, once just a distant dream in minds of the members of the Kanabec Coun-

25 YEARS AGO (1991) “Old friends meet in Ogilvie; Bill Niemann keeps tabs since 1915:” Bill Niemann, 93, may be Ogilvie’s oldest living graduate and his love for the area and its people is boundless.

Bill and his wife Nettie, 86, are a wealth of Ogilvie history which they are always glad to share. The two are very careful to relate the cheerful past of the town which celebrates its All-School Reunion this weekend, July 6-7.

The reunion was organized to coincide with the closing of the Ogilvie School which was built in 1917, just two years after Bill’s graduation.

His story begins there, at the old four-room brick school. Bill said he graduated with the class of 1915 which was so small, at three members, that it took the state another year to dispense diplomas in ceremonies with the class of 1916.

“In 1915 there was no credit for daily work, Bill observed. Bill, his sister Stella and Bertha Gadola had to take state boards and wait until August for their results.

“Kanabec rural teachers celebrate good old days of one-room schools:” Kanabec County’s rural school teachers reminisced about the good old days, when the one-room schoolhouses were in their prime, at a reception held at the History Center honoring them on Saturday, June 29.

The teachers talked about the ways things used to be in these classrooms, not a detail was forgotten from the position of their desks to the pushy student who sat in the corner.

10 YEARS AGO (2006) “Sheriff nabs S&R bandit:” The Kanabec County’s Sheriff’s Office announced last week that an arrest has been made in connection with the smash and grab burglary of the S & R convenience store in Ogilvie.

The robbery, which occurred during the early morning hours of June 13, was caught on the store’s security cameras enabling law enforcement to obtain photos of both the suspect and the vehicle used in the robbery from that footage. At one point during the alleged crime, the suspect even looked directly into one of the cameras.

TAYLOR NORBY | TIMES

CLASS A BOYS – CHRIS GOEBEL, MORA Chris Goebel directed Mora to back-to-back state championships with a 51-point win at state.

The Mustangs won the Section 5A title with a section-low 26 points. Mora had four all-state finishers in Michael Schwinghamer, Alex Sanbeck, John Schwinghamer, and Cole Oslin. “One of the highlights of the season was upsetting Stillwater in the Class 4A race at the Mega Meet. It meant a lot to the boys that Coach Christensen took the time to come and congratulate them.” Chris completed his 13th season, including all 10 state meet appearances in program history.

CLASS A ASSISTANT – RACHEL NORBY, MORA Rachel assisted Chris Goebel at Mora to backto-back state championships. From head coach Chris Goebel: Rachel understands that coaching is about treating the kids with respect. She brings such a great, positive attitude everyday to practice and the kids feed off of it. The kids all know Rachel wants them to succeed as a runner but more importantly she wants them to be good people. Rachel has a sense for when to be strict with an athlete and when they need a hug and when they just need someone to listen. Most importantly, athletes in our program know Rachel cares about them as a person. Rachel completed her 15th season as assistant coach for Mora.

Mustang softball season comes to an end

BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora Mustangs softball team wrapped up the 2016 season with a 6-13 record, fifth place in Section 7 AA Subsection 1 and sixth in the Granite Ridge Conference. Their victories this spring came against Hinckley-Finlayson, section rivals Aitkin, Crosby-Ironton and Pine City and conference rival Milaca. On Tuesday, May 24, they were eliminated in the first round of section play with a 7-4 loss to Aitkin.

The Mustangs ended the 2015 season with a 5-15 record, finishing sixth in the subsection and eighth in the GRC. They lost to Cloquet in the first playoff round.

The 2015 team lost seniors Stephanie Cannon, Shelby Kolu, Brooke Oslin, Taylor Strelow, Taylor Sundsvold, and Miranda Zimmer to graduation.

This year’s graduates included Kaitlyn Barnick, Kelly Becker, Makalya Curtis, Jordi Knieszler, Sarahjane Madison, and Hannah Strelow.

Despite losses, Mora tennis team is looking ahead to next year

BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Mora Mustangs boys tennis team closed out a disappointing 2016 season with sound reasons for optimism: they showed greater competitiveness in matches and strong leadership within the team.

“We went 0-13 this season,” said head coach Pete Balmer, “but we were competitive in our matches, winning more games and sets. We had more three-set matches than ever, but we need to get better at finishing those matches in the win column.”

On Tuesday, May 17, the Mustangs were defeated in Section 6 A play by eventual runner-up Litchfield. Last season the team went 1-12, with a victory over North Branch that ended a 65-game winless streak.

Like last spring’s winless-streak-ending victory, Balmer said the team celebrated some achievements this season as well.

“Our match with North Branch on Friday, May 6 was memorable.

We played three matches and each went to a third set. We won one, lost one and had to stop one because of a thunderstorm.”

“And two of our singles players earned wins this season: junior Blake Nosbush and sophomore Micah Reynolds.”

Balmer said that each member of the Mustangs team made a contribution this spring. “It’s hard to point to just one or two players who made the biggest impact,” he said.

“Everyone in our lineup stepped up at different times during the season. This year we’ll lose our only senior, Luke Zumwalt. He’ll be missed, but everyone coming back next year has varsity experience.”

“We’ll have three seniors next year. Junior Max Krueger and sophomore Micah Reynolds return as our captains, and we’ll look to other experienced players to lead:

seniors Isaac Armstrong and Blake Nosbush and sophomores Isaac Balmer, Wilson Krueger, Nick Madison and Erik Moe. If everyone keeps working on his game, our team will succeed.”

Balmer and JV coach Mara Parson have already started planning for next spring. “We’ve scheduled summer tennis for our players on Mondays and Wednesdays in June and we’ll try to enter the players in some tournaments this summer if they’d like to play,” Balmer said.

“We were disappointed that we didn’t get any wins this spring.

Players and coaches alike felt that we’d left some matches on the table. We want to continue getting better, take the next step, finish out matches, and see our hard work show up in the ‘win’ column. And we’re hungry to start again in 2017.”

I can’t pump gas to the Bee Gees ECHOES FROM THE LOAFERS’ CLUB MEETING I hate Mondays.

What’s wrong with Mondays?

They aren’t Saturdays.

DRIVING BY THE BRUCES I have two wonderful neighbors-both named Bruce--who live across the road from each other. Whenever I pass their driveways, thoughts occur to me, such as: Unless you’re a teacher, you can’t expect anyone to do math. You can insult a smalltown resident by accusing him of living in the next town over. A half a loaf is better than no nap at all. If you buy your underwear at a shopping club, you will always be getting your panties in a bunch.

THE CAFE CHRONICLES “The food was terrible. The service was even worse.”

“Why did you do that?” I ask.

“To show them what a great customer they had lost.”

THERE WILL BE A TUBE SHORTAGE The day started off with the discovery that our toilet paper rolls had no tubes. That meant the end of craft projects as I have known them.

I was tooling on down the road trying not to think about toilet paper rolls without tubes when I met a giant dump truck hauling crushed rock. I’m not sure how much it was hauling, but it was one rock too many. One mini-boulder leaped from the box and attacked my windshield. CCRRAACCKK! I thought that all the splattered insects on the glass offered some protection from such occurrences, but I was wrong. My poor windshield cracked under pressure. That didn’t rock.

THE BEE GEES BOTHERED ME I pulled into a convenience store. It wasn’t all that convenient as it was 70 miles from home, but I needed fuel. As I grabbed the gas pump nozzle, the music piped overhead was a Bee Gees song. I don’t recall which one it was, I’m not a fan of the Bee Gees disco stuff. I moaned, Al’s World “I can’t pump gas to the Bees Gees.”

Al Batt The man at the next pump laughed. I liked that. Not long before, I’d pulled into another convenience store 70 miles in the opposite direction away from home. Again, it was to get gas. It’s a disturbing trend. A police officer was fueling his squad car at the next pump. I greeted him and said that I hoped he was having a criminal-free day.

He didn’t laugh. He said that he’d been having a criminal-free day until now and pointed at my license plate with expired tabs. I hurried to the glove compartment and retrieved the envelope containing the tabs. I wiped the license plates with squeegee and towel under the watchful eye of the policeman.

I slapped the stickers in place. He didn’t even smile. He probably likes the Bee Gees.

I SEE MYSELF IN A COW PIE I walked across the pasture. The cows watched me. I looked down as I walked. There were badger holes and cow manure to avoid. I stopped by a cow pie. I’m not sure why. Why does anyone stop by a cow pie? The cow pie was a dollar waiting on a dime. There was something odd about this particular cow pie. I

looked hard at it. Then I squinted like Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti western. I wasn’t squinting long before it became apparent. My image was in the cow pie. As far as miracles go, it was ground level, but it was still almost exciting.

NEVER BUY TIGHT SHOES AND PLAN ON THEM STRETCHING He’d paid $200 for the hiking boots. Then he went on a long hike.

The boots were too small and were killing his feet. He wasn’t near a shoe store and wouldn’t be for some time. He used his knife to cut a hole in the front end of each of his new boots. I asked him how he felt after ruining a pair of $200 boots. He told me that after doing all that walking, he wouldn’t have taken $200 for the holes.

When I wear tight shoes, I speak French while walking. I don’t know why. I don’t speak French.

I bought some shoes one day that were a bit snug. They were a size 14, but they weren’t 14 enough.

“How do they feel?” asked the sales clerk.

“They are a little tight,” I replied.

“Try pulling out on the tongue,” the clerk suggested.

“Theyth sthill feelth a bith tighth,” I said.

Lions softball season wraps up

BY SCOTT MCKINNEY NEWS@MORAMINN.COM

The Ogilvie Lions softball team wrapped up the 2016 season with a 7-11 record, finishing third in Section 5 A North and fifth in the Great River Conference. They opened section postseason play on Monday, May 23, with a 14-4 win over McGregor, but ended their season later in the week with a 4-3 loss to Isle and a 6-1 loss to Pillager.

In 2015 the Lions finished with a 13-8 record, second in both the GRC and Subsection 5 A East. The team defeated Cromwell and Braham in the opening playoff rounds, lost to Rush City, beat Isle, and were eliminated with a loss to Kimball.

Ogilvie’s 2016 victories were against conference rivals Aitkin, East Central and Pine City and section rivals Hinckley-Finlayson, Isle and Pine River-Backus.

Graduating seniors from the Lions team included Maddie Hass, Alix Heins, Sam Olson, and Jordana Yotter.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES WEEKLY UPDATE

Conservation officers of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources were busy over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Conservation Officer Brandon McGaw, out of Mora, checked anglers and boaters during the week, according to his weekly report.

Time was also directed to ATV patrol and one day was spent at Camp Ripley for emergency vehicle operation course training. There was enforcement action taken on leaving a boat on a wildlife management area.

Mille Lacs Band denounces decision to terminate agreement

WHY

The Mille Lacs Band Reservation – Last week, the Mille Lacs County Board, with no prior warning or discussion, voted to end the cooperative law enforcement agreement between the Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s Office and the Mille Lacs Band Tribal Police. The agreement, which first went into effect in 1991, had vastly improved law enforcement in the region, comprising the reservation and surrounding non-Indian communities, by leveraging the additional capabilities of the Mille Lacs Band’s 32 tribally funded POST-certified professional police officers, who supplement the county’s 29 officers. The county will be responsible for paying for and replacing police coverage that is

lost because of its termination of the cooperative agreement.

“This decision puts politics ahead of public safety,” said Mille Lacs Band Chief Executive Melanie Benjamin. The county cited its disagreement with a federal opinion, which concluded that the Mille Lacs Reservation still exists, as the primary basis for ending the law enforcement agreement.

“At a time of escalating gang violence and drug activity in our communities, to intentionally reduce law enforcement presence in the county may not have been well thought out,” said Benjamin.

Since 2013, there have been more than 1,600 crimes on the Reservation, including murders, assaults, thefts and ar-

sons. The Mille Lacs Band has been doing everything it can to combat this rising tide of crime that brings drugs and violence to the Reservation: working cooperatively with the county under the existing law enforcement agreement; participating in the intertribal Great Nations Gang and Drug Task Force in an ongoing effort to stop criminals from ‘Rez hopping’; and requesting and obtaining concurrent Federal jurisdiction on the Reservation through the Tribal Law and Order Act. Concurrent Federal jurisdiction will enable prosecution of the most dangerous criminals in Federal Court and ensure they receive the harshest sentences possible in federal prison.

“Our tribal police will con-

tinue to exercise our inherent law enforcement authority under Federal and Tribal law on our Reservation and respond to calls from Band members,” Benjamin said. However, if the County refuses to route 911 calls from non-Band members to Tribal police, response times may dramatically increase for northern Mille Lacs County residents who have come to depend on Tribal police. This action hurts these residents and all county taxpayers who will have to pay for additional deputies to respond to calls previously covered by Tribal police. Benjamin noted that the county has already tried to hire the Band’s Tribal police officers. “The county has a gang problem, a drug problem, a vi-

olence problem, and a funding problem, but rather than collaborating to fight crime, the County Board is gambling with the money and lives of all Mille Lacs County citizens, Indian and non-Indian.”

Mille Lacs Band Solicitor General Todd Matha added, “The Mille Lacs Band Tribal Police will continue to operate on the reservation, exercising Tribal and Federal authority.

We continue to explore the possibility of exercising state law enforcement authority, even without the cooperative agreement. Unfortunately, the burden of the county decision will fall heaviest upon our non-Indian neighbors who have become accustomed to the rapid response of Tribal police.”

The tip of the sword Braham grad is one of less than 10 percent accepted to West Point

opening the door for generations of Riesings to come.

His younger brother, Reed, and younger sister, Rachel, have expressed an interest in following in big brother’s footsteps.

Riesing has been a role model to more than just his siblings. Throughout school, he has been a leader and inspiration to many other students. One Braham teacher said, “Ryan was a soft-spoken student to whom people paid attention. He was a leader – humble and confident.

These sincere qualities are what drew the admiration of other students.”

Looking back to what led him to this point, Riesing said, “My dedication to my education and future and the support of all of my friends, family and teachers, particularly my parents, allowed me to achieve this goal.”

BY SHANNON FOX NEWS@BRAHAMJOURNAL.COM

P

reparation. Determination. Ambition. Honor.

These are the qualities of Ryan Riesing – a 2016 Braham Area High School graduate and future cadet of the United States Military Academy at West Point.

On May 12, Riesing received an outpouring of affection, support and respect from the Braham community as they gave a standing ovation to him during the high school Awards Night when he received a special honorary West Point certificate of appointment.

On June 26 he embarked on a journey very few will ever be allowed to take. He will leave the comfort of hometown Braham to start basic training.

“West Point is one of the most prestigious military schools in the world. It is the school where the brightest and most physically fit military aspirants start their careers,” according to ArmyBases.org.

STRICT GUIDELINES FOR A PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL Even to be considered for West Point, there is a grueling process to go through. A student must have at least a 3.8 GPA, no less than a 27 (preferably a 32) on the ACT test, and have been enrolled in several high performance-based classes. According to prepscholar. com, “The acceptance rate at West Point is 9 percent.

In other words, of 100 students who apply, only nine are admitted.”

Ryan also had to complete a full application, ask three teachers for recommendation letters, provide a photo and resume that included all awards, honors, athletics, leadership, volunteerism, etc. Beyond his local circle, Riesing had to receive recommendations from state leaders in Congress.

“Ryan received all three of his congressional nominations from senators Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar and Congressman Rick Nolan,” according to his mother Sue Riesing. “They all sent congratulatory letters stating that they selected Ryan because he exemplified all the qualities that were important for acceptance into the academy and would make him a successful leader.”

Once the paperwork was complete and submitted, Riesing needed to move on to the second portion of the application process: a live 30-minute interview with a three-person panel made up of Academy alumni and congressional staff. While still waiting for West Point’s decision, he was also accepted to the prestigious Air Force Academy, the University of Minnesota and a few smaller private colleges, but West Point was the focus, the goal of many years of hard work.

THE DREAM COMES TRUE Riesing was accepted to West Point on April 10, 2016.

ACADEMY FACTS DARWIN NELSON

Ryan Riesing accepts his Certificate of Appointment to West Point from Joe Pung of West Point.

“West Point was always my first choice,” Ryan said.

“Words can’t fully describe my joy and excitement that day.”

Mom’s smiling, beaming face when speaking of his accomplishment is well earned. “I will never forget checking the portal with Ryan late that night at the end of the waiver period,” she said, “and seeing Ryan’s status change from ‘candidate’ to ‘appointee.’ I was stunned and happy for Ryan that it had finally happened after waiting so long to hear. I don’t think either one of us slept that night.”

Riesing’s eyes light up when he talks about his future with West Point. “I don’t really have any fears going to West Point. I believe it will be a great life experience ... receiving a world-class education and having access to countless opportunities during and after my time there. ... Overall, it’s truly an honor to be given the opportunity to attend such an amazing institution, and a thrill to finally realize a childhood dream.”

Currently, his ambitions lie in the field of engineering, most likely mechanical or aeronautical.

Riesing will graduate from West Point in 2020 and serve in the military for the required five years afterward. However, he plans to stay focused on the military as a career, serving his country many more years beyond his obligation.

ALREADY A ROLE MODEL Riesing has had many family members in the military, including his dad Rick, who was in the U.S. Air Force, but none at West Point. However, Riesing may be

United States Military Academy (USMA), or West Point, sits on scenic high ground overlooking the Hudson River, 50 miles north of New York City.

Candidates must receive a nomination from a member of Congress or the President or Vice President of the United States.

Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as “cadets.”

Tuition is fully funded by the Army in exchange for an active duty service obligation upon graduation. Scholarship value is approximately $280,000.

Approximately 1,300 cadets enter the Academy each July, with about 1,000 cadets graduating.

The Academy began in 1802 after President Thomas Jefferson directed that a military academy be established.

Patrols step up enforcement

EXTRA ENFORCEMENT ON KANABEC COUNTY ROADS JULY 8 - 22 Seventy-eight people. That’s more than an entire regular season NFL roster, more people than can fill up a passenger bus, and roughly the size of three elementary school classes.

To keep motorists safe this summer, the Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting increased patrols, July 8 – 22, as part of a statewide extra speed enforcement effort. The enforcement and education effort is coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety.

CONSEQUENCES OF SPEEDING Greater potential for loss of vehicle control.

Increased stopping distance.

Less time for driver response for crash avoidance.

Increased crash severity leading to more severe injuries and death.

RICK LECOCQ | TIMES

Power Tool Racers show off creativity in competition The Power Tool Racers of Mora held their annual races outside Johnson’s Hardware in Mora on June 15. Racers bring their creations of tool-powered drag racers to compete against one another. For safety, riders are required to wear an approved helmet and must have brakes installed that are capable of stopping the machine in 50 feet. This year’s winners were (pictured left to right) second place Matt Anderson, third place Matt Johnson and first place Samantha Werner.

THREE SECONDS IS THE SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE Motorists should keep a three-second following distance to allow for safe stopping and reaction to other vehicles.

It takes more than the length of a football field to stop when traveling at 60 miles per hour.

LOOK TWICE FOR MOTORCYCLISTS Another safety concern in July is the record-high number of motorcyclists on the road. A major factor in rider deaths is unsafe speeds. More than half of all motorcycle crashes are single-vehicle events in which the rider loses control of the bike and runs off the road or crashes.

SPEEDING TO GET NOWHERE FAST Speeding does not help you get to your destination significantly faster. According to AAA, travel time for a 30-mile trip: 55 miles per hour = 32.7 minutes.

65 miles an hour = 27.7 minutes (5 minutes saved).

75 miles per hour = 24 minutes (8 minutes saved).

Extra speed enforcement and education efforts are part of the Toward Zero Deaths traffic safety program.

A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes – education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency medical and trauma response.

SPECIAL EDUCATION EVALUATIONS FOR HOME SCHOOLED OR PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS In response to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA 2004) Minnesota School Districts must demonstrate that “all children with disabilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools, regardless of the severity of their disabilities, and who are in need of special education and related services, are identified, located and evaluated.” This responsibility extends to children with disabilities who are educated at home or in nonpublic schools.

Upon request, your local public school will provide information to concerned parents on specific disabilities including information about the educational or behavioral characteristics of each disability. Parents who believe their child may indeed have a disability may request information on how to arrange for an evaluation through the district’s special education staff.

Parents of students who are evaluated and are found to be eligible for special education services will become part of a team, which will develop, implement and monitor the effectiveness of an Individual Service Plan to meet the identified needs of their children.

If you have questions or would like to receive information about specific disabilities or evaluation, please contact the principal of the school building your child would be attending if he/she was enrolled in public school. Your school district is committed to success for all learners.

For Sale: Reconditioned washers, dryers, ranges, refrigerators. Rick's Home Furnishings 320-679-4047.
