An explosion last Tuesday led to a fi re that completely destroyed a mobile home at Evergreen Ridge Mobile Home Park in Starbuck just west of John St., two blocks north of Highway 28. No one was home at the time of the ex-plosion and fi re so there were no injuries. The home was completely engulfed in fl ames not long after fi refi ghters arrived at the scene and the mobile home was a complete loss. The cause of the fi re was still under investigation.
Mobile home in Starbuck destroyed by fi re Tuesday

Whether it be for agriculture or tourism, recreation or lakeshore living, Pope County res-idents all have a vested interest in protecting the resources that make this county prosper.
Last week, the Pope County Board of Com-missioners took a step to-ward protecting that pros-perity by hiring Amanda Strommer as the new land resources director—someone they believe will lead Pope County’s Land and Resource Manage-ment department with en-ergy and enthusiasm.
Strommer comes to Pope County from the Washington County De-partment of Public Health & Environment where she worked as an environmen-tal health program man-ager. She has a master’s degree in water resources science, extensive knowl-edge of natural resources programs, profi ciency in writing grants and work-ing with state agencies, planning skills, budgetary experience and leadership training and experience. She was the county wa-ter planner for fi ve years and managed the county septic and water resource programs.
Pope County has been without full-time leadership in the Land and Resources depart-ment since July 16, 2012, when former Land Re-
sources Director SteveLawrence resigned aftera closed board session. Dave Rush, the Douglas County land resources di-rector, has been assistingPope County in rebuild-ing its Land and Resource Management departmentup to this point.
Strommer taking thehelm will allow the Landand Resource departmentto fi nally serve the resi-dents of Pope County atfull capacity.
In her fi nal interview with county commission-ers and other county staff, Strommer said, “I wantto be there to support thestaff.” She said part of her role would be to offer clear guidance and ex-pectations for Land andResources staff—a man-agement style that would keep projects moving for-ward.
Strommer was askedwhat she would do when faced with different in-terest groups disagreeing,or blaming one anotherfor environmental prob-lems. Strommer took thequestion in stride. “It’s important to listen to allparties,” she said. She explained that a problemusually arises for multiplereasons, and fi nger-point-ing wouldn’t solve any-thing. She has a strongbackground and focus on community education andstressed the importanceof building relationshipswith residents and com-munity groups.
Strommer will like-ly begin in her offi cial capacity as Pope County Land Resources Directoron Sept. 23.

Like the recently razed Culligan buildings in Glen-wood, Starbuck is current-ly home to a tax-forfeited property that is a safety hazard and has been de-scribed as “blight.” Because of its tax forfeited status, the property, located at 610 Hagenson Street, has been turned over to the county under state law; the county now has to decide how best to deal with the issue.
Dick Dreher, executive director of the Pope County Housing and Redevelop-ment Authority/Econom-ic Development Authority (HRA/EDA) spoke with county commissioners at their regular meeting last Tuesday about a possible solution.
“The idea is more ‘ad-dition by subtraction’ here,” said Dreher. He proposed that the HRA/EDA pur-chase the property from the county, then demolish the house and level the lot.
Dreher said the HRA/EDA board voted to pur-chase the property at its Aug. 7 meeting, if possible. To make that purchase easi-er, the City of Starbuck has agreed to set aside special assessments on the prop-erty, contingent upon the HRA/EDA purchasing the house and land and paying for demolition.
In a letter to Pope County Auditor/Treasur-er Donna Quandt, Dreher wrote, “Should the county determine that it is in the best interests of the city and the county to have the house demolished and the site leveled, we would im-mediately move to have it demolished upon transfer of ownership to the HRA/EDA.”
The HRA/EDA would likely try to sell the proper-ty after the house has been demolished and the lot lev-eled.
Dreher told commis-sioners that the HRA/EDA is not looking to make a profi t with its endeavors; it is looking to build the Pope County community, add to the tax rolls and benefi t the entire county.
The county board’s fi rst step toward seeing the house demolished was to set a selling price. Commis-sioners agreed on $10. With the price set, the HRA/EDA can make an offi cial offer to purchase the property at the next county board meeting.
If all goes as planned, Dreher estimated that the house could be demolished in a timely manner.
In other business the board:
• Accepted an Off Highway Vehicle/ATV En-forcement grant for $5,876. The grant is provided through the State of Minne-sota to cover costs related to training, labor and equip-ment in the enforcement of off highway vehicle laws, rules and regulations.
• Accepted the 2013 Federal Boating Safe-
ty Supplemental Equip-ment grant in the amount of $21,351. The grant will cover the purchase of a new 17-foot boat with a trailer and snap cover as well as other safety equipment for the Pope County Sheriff’s Department.
• Approved assess-ment contracts with Hoff Township, Ben Wade Town-ship and the City of Lowry. The county will charge an annual fee for each parcel in the respective jurisdic-tions to help defray any cost of assessment.
• Adopted a resolu-tion to accept the County Veterans Service Offi ce Community Outreach grant in the amount of $7,500. The money will be used in part to fund and promote the Veteran Stand Down to be held Oct. 11, 2013, as part of the Veterans Justice Corp position. According to the Department of Veterans Af-fairs, Stand Downs are typ-ically one to three-day col-laborative events aimed to providing services to home-less Veterans such as food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, VA and Social Security benefi ts counsel-ing, and referrals to other services, such as healthcare, housing, employment, and substance abuse treatment.
• Discussed and ap-proved payment of Human Services bills in the amount of $150, 525.08. Human Services Director Nicole Names reported that her de-partment was at 58 percent of the year and 47 percent of its budget—about 11 percent below budget at this point.
• Discussed and approved changes to the Douglas and Pope Counties Environmental Health An-nual Establishment Licens-ing policy. The changes ex-tend the license due date to the next business day when Dec. 1 falls on a weekend, and sets up a deadline for late fees and a progression of late fee charges.
• Approved updates to the Douglas and Pope Counties Environmental Health Inspection and En-forcement policy. One of the main updates now allows owners of noncompliant establishments, in certain circumstances, the oppor-tunity to bypass re-inspec-tions and request to move straight to an administrative conference. Generally, this would apply to high-cost or large items not attainable in the current re-inspection timeframe.
• Approved the Douglas and Pope Counties Environmental Health 2014 fee schedule. Since the pro-gram began, it has been self-sustaining based on the collection of fees.
• Approved the July 2013 trial balance and fund balance analysis as present-ed by Pope County Auditor/Treasurer Donna Quandt. According to Quandt, the county’s overall fund bal-ance is looking better than last year, but is still below what is recommended by
the state auditor. “We are defi nitely improving,” said Quandt. She said she cred-its the improvement to the county’s departments for being frugal and watching what they spend.
• Approved the sec-ond quarter 2013 Revenues and Expenditures report.
• Approved a con-tract with SafeAssure, a Willmar fi rm that special-izes in helping counties and cities achieve compliance with state and federal safety rules and regulations. The contract is for one year and comes at a cost of $7,634.
• Authorized coun-ty participation in the PrimeWest County Em-ployee Health Coverage Development project. PrimeWest is exploring the option of offering an employee health coverage plan to county and other local units of government employees. Pope County’s commitment to the study entails $32,634 spread over a three-year period. That dollar amount may be sig-nifi cantly smaller as more counties in PrimeWest’s 13-county service area are added to the study, or if the study is discontinued. With an 11 percent increase in the county’s health insurance costs for 2014, the board expressed interest in a pos-sible health insurance plan option through PrimeWest in the future.

Nearly 40 area residents and community leaders attended a panel discussion lastWednesday at the Minnewaska House. The panel discussion brought in leaders from fi ve other communities to discuss issues facing communities in greater Min-nesota and give local leaders an outside view of issues and ideas. The event was sponsored by Pope County, the Pope County HRA/EDA, and the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce.

of Wabasha and Kellog de-fi ne “political disfunction,” but they did come together to establish the National Eagle Project, providing prime space on the Mis-sissippi River that attracts thousands of visitors to the community each week. The communities showed vision by working to realize that project, she said. “Take baby steps and fi gure out what you want and what the community wants and then go for it,” she advised.
Looking at Glenwood, she said she came into the city from the top of the hill and saw Glenwood’s “awe-some view from the top of that hill.” “But then you drive downtown and you think, this isn’t so much.” She said she then checked into a Glenwood hotel and received “the worst custom-er service possible.” So, you do have some work to do, she added.
Olson, who is the may-or of Baxter, told those at the meeting that his city was lucky because of ge-ography–“we border Brain-erd and are located on the gateway to the lakes area,” he said. The community
has experienced explosive growth over the past de-cade, but he, too, encour-aged Pope County leaders to be patient and encour-aged vision and working through problems between local government agen-cies. “We had a desirable location for business so we could grow without a lot of effort and I’m thankful for that.” But affordable hous-ing was a problem in Bax-ter, and he said the city used Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool to provide affordable housing units in the city.
“I just want to say that TIF does have a place (in local government).”
Mackendanz said his community, Park Rapids, this year hosted the Gov-ernor’s Fishing Opener, a successful community event that required com-plete community commit-ment of time and money. But the event was success-ful and provided a few fi rsts that included the fi rst time there was ice on the lake where the Governor was to be fi shing for the open-er. Before the Governor’s Fishing Opener, the com-
munity also came togetherand built a new school. Hesaid that schools and healthcare facilities are what at-tract people to a communi-ty. “People who come to a town always look at thosetwo things,” he said.
Mackendanz added thatit doesn’t always have to bean “us against them” men-tality. “Change that to a usand us.”
Fischer agreed, he saidto get leaders together, getsome direction and then tiethat into a project that ben-efi ts the entire community. He talked about the Heart-land Bike Trail in his com-munity. And a benefi t of that project is that there was also a local industry thatnow manufactures the bikeracks that are needed for thebike trail.

There will be a special session of the Legislature, but it won’t deal with the issue of the sales tax expansion on farm repairs. Agreement could not be reached on an agen-da that would look at tax issues, in addition to disaster re-lief for 20 counties in central and southern Minnesota. As a result, we will convene on the morning of Sept. 9 with the only item to be addressed being Minnesota’s match for federal FEMA dollars for those counties affected by heavy rain and storms in late June. I was disappointed that we won’t be taking up the sales tax issue during the special session, but there still seems to be considerable senti-ment that it will be addressed early in next year’s regular session, which begins in February.
While on the subject of taxes, I read an account in the Minnesota Farm Guide of Gov. Dayton’s recent speech at Farm Fest, along with his meeting later that same day with the media. His Revenue Dept. Commissioner, Myron Frans, later told reporters that, even though farmland val-ues are increasing, many farmers are going to see reduc-tions in property taxes next year.
His department is calling for approximately a 1.5 per cent reduction statewide in property taxes next year, or about $121 million. I have talked with assessors who are saying that agricultural land will take another big increase in valuation for next year’s taxes. Keep in mind that our tax system and its valuation of property is about a year be-hind what is actually happening with the sale of property. Assessors look at the prior year’s arm-length transactions to come up with property values for the coming year’s val-uation. So, even if land values have stopped their double digit increases and have actually stabilized, we still have at least another year of large increases to work through the tax system. The entire process is complicated as assessors must also work with ratios of sales and other measurements as they seek to provide some statewide uniformity.
My concern has to do with ag land values taking an-other big jump in valuation for taxes payable next year in 2014. If the values for farm land are going to see a 20 per cent increase, or even 15 per cent, how are the taxes on that land going to decrease? We are talking about a 1.5 per cent decrease in taxes payable statewide, so when these large ag land valuations are factored in, I really wonder about any actual lowering of farm land taxes. Is there going to be a shift in who pays those local taxes? Yes, because when the value of one portion of the proverbial three-legged stool that pays local property taxes goes up, in this case, ag land, and if the other two legs of that stool, commercial property and residential property, remain sta-ble, there will be a shift in how those local taxes are paid.

Publisher’s Perspective by Tim Douglass will return next week.
I’ve been thinking about freedom late-ly and what freedom means.
In the literal sense freedom means be-ing able to do what you want, where you want, when you want.
Seems pretty simple, and it probably is if you live on a ranch in Montana miles from anyone else. Nobody cares if you don’t take a shower, walk around naked, have a loud muffl er on the pickup, have a noisy dog, store gas cans in the kitchen, run the stereo as loud as possible, shoot a deer when you want and run the chainsaw at midnight because that’s when you de-cide to trim a tree.
But our country is quite a bit more congested than that. Most of us live quite a bit closer to our neighbors. Many of us live in cities where a lot of people live close together. We all can’t be that free, to do so would take away the freedom of others to have a safe and healthy existence.
We protect our drinking water by hav-ing sewer systems. If we all dumped out sewage outside our houses we would have a stinky, unhealthy mess. So we join to-gether to do that and adopt rules so that we all use it. We join together to have a water
system, too, and go a step or two further by checking the water to make sure it is safe all the time for drinking.
We have building codes so our homes are safe. It may not matter for us, but if our home is a fi re hazard and starts to burn, our neighbor’s house can get caught up in the fl ames and at least suffer some serious damage.
We have rules about driving and stop signs at intersections so that people know when they can proceed safely and when they should not.
We have speed limits, rules about driv-ing under the infl uence of chemicals, rules about the condition of cars on the roads and even rules about shutting the roads down when authorities think they are unsafe to
drive upon. And we have many other rules and laws to create an orderly society.
So our freedoms are much more lim-ited than the Montana rancher simply be-cause without some rules we would have chaos. Our freedoms are limited so our ac-tions don’t interfere with the freedoms of others.
And yet I still feel free to do a lot of things. I can get up and go where I want any day of the week. I can drive across this country if I want without permission. I can write and comment on our govern-ment without worry about being tossed in some cell someplace never to be heard from again. I can attend the church I want to attend, or stay home.
I can get on the phone and call anyone whose number I know. I can vote and have a voice in who holds offi ce from my local city council to the county, state and federal governments.
My kids and grandkids can go to school and get educated. The list goes on and on.
The problems come, of course, when other folks don’t want to follow the rules we have established as a society so that one
person’s freedoms don’t make another per-son less free.
Most laws and rules are not passed for the 90 to 95 percent of society that realiz-es the value of some sense of order. Most of those laws are enacted because a small minority thinks their freedoms are more valuable than anybody else’s freedoms. Stop signs are an inconvenience for them so they are ignored. They will do what they want, when they want and where they want because it is their right to be “free.”
If I were king and ruled by decree I’d take some of those folks who don’t respect others’ freedoms and put them in a position where they have no freedom for a while. Maybe, just maybe, after a few days or weeks of being cooped up someplace dark and cold they would realize the value of freedom because they couldn’t do what they wanted, when they wanted and where they wanted.
But I guess if I were king and ruled by decree you wouldn’t be free. Perhaps you wouldn’t think that was a good idea.

Special session will not deal with tax issues
From Randy Olson,Brooten
After reading about the many fi ascos of the 2013 Legislature, one rises to the top to compete with many other bad ideas the DFL brought us in St. Paul.
For some ugly reason, the DFL decided that farmers should pay sales tax on the labor of repairing their machinery. For example, if a farmer needs engine work done on a tractor at Midwest Machinery in Glenwood or Amundson-Peterson in Benson, the labor costs can easily run in the thousands of dollars. Let’s say the labor costs $1,000. On that amount, beginning on July 1, farmers have been paying and will continue pay-ing sales tax. Instead of putting mon-ey into area hardware stores, church offering plates, school fundraisers, lumber yards, restaurants or car and truck dealers, farmers have to send more money instead to St. Paul for legislators to dream up more ways to waste it.
I am convinced that the DFL has no desire to continue holding the ma-jority in Minnesota. They are so out of touch it is absolutely mind-bog-gling. To go from Republicans ruling from extremes in 2011 and 2012 and now see the DFL ruling like a bunch of out-of-control frat boys, it is sick-ening.
From Harold W. Rippe,Glenwood
If you are a subscriber to the Min-neapolis StarTribune newspaper and wanted to know the ratings, results, reports or scores of any civic, politi-cal, sporting, or education events that were not completed by press time (usually around 10 p.m. for those of us in greater Minnesota), there would be no way on earth to read the results in that following morning’s newspa-per. I have seen the exception only once in my 60-plus years of being a subscriber. That occurred on Aug 1, (12:01 a.m.) 2013, and it was a real shocker. It was not a surprise, only because the paper is known for its lib-eral bias and as a supporter and a DFL party platform outlet.
What I’m calling attention to, is the full front page, printed in the larg-est BOLD type, plus two more full pages in the same section showing in detail with photos the implementation of the new Minnesota statute passed
by the DFL-controlled legislature and governor, with the help of several Religious denominations, allowing same-sex marriages.
The newspaper’s reporters wrote about 20-30 couples and their civil marriages in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, all DFL strongholds and a marriage or two in several other counties. The newspaper, with the help of the DFL party, certainly made a bash of it, and why not? It’s the fi rst time I can recall that the presses were stopped until the civil marriages could be performed and publicized the next day. Quite impressive, I believe.
I myself have the opinion that it wasn’t necessary for the newspaper and the DFL party to “rub our noses in it;” after all a huge majority of the 5,342,438 Minnesotans voted against it. I understand that of the hundreds and hundreds of primary votes need-ed in many committees to get it to the fl oor of both houses for the fi nal vote there was only one bipartisan vote to get it passed. Many DFL lawmakers told us they voted the way they want-ed to, not representing their constitu-ents who put them in offi ce. Odd isn’t it, that these same lawmakers when it comes time to vote up or down on the ending of abortion, they many times tell their constitutes that they them-selves want to stop the murdering of the most innocents, but will vote yes only because their constituents want that. Don’t you, too, fi nd it at times most diffi cult to fi gure what side of the aisle they sit on?
Whatever, the word is, that the DFL big-wigs have sent a message out to all Democratic chairs of all 57 states asking for their party funds to fi ght the battle here in Minnesota in 2014 to help re-elect all the DFLers who voted against the wishes of most of their constituents. This battle will mostly take place out state, not in the DFL strong holds of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. All those DFL lawmakers there voted the party line. Soon it will be a month since this new same sex marriage became law, and all I can fi nd any place are civil same sex marriages. I wonder, and I would guess others do to, why aren’t we see-ing, reading, watching same sex mar-riages in the churches of those denom-inations that supported the statute, as we were spoon-fed the joys of civil marriages propaganda. As the statute was being made, the party preached that there are over 10,000 (this group surely will add 20,000 votes to the DFL party column) couples that have waited for years to get married, yet, pretty quiet on the religious front. I’m going to take an educated guess that when the funding arrives from those 57 states, that is when we’ll see
these sort of marriages really catchfi re. If they don’t, those party mem-bers from all over United States willbe disappointed. If I was one of them,I know I would be.
Another statute of the DFL ma-jority doings last session was de-scribed in a news story found deepin the metro section. The Strib tellsits readers, in the smallest print, thatone of the DFL’s newest taxes, that just took effect brought into the state (DFL lawmakers) coffers about $30 million-plus in one day. This moneycomes from taxes on a existing inven-tory in warehouses long before theDFLers decided to tax merchandise instorage for future delivery. No won-der that now Minnesota is just aboutnumber one in taxes of all types.

NOTES from the CAPITOL
Paul Anderson State House Representative District 12B

Te m p e r a t u r e s are rising along with those sticky dew points. It happens every year. When-ever the State Fair is about to open, the sweat faction ratchets up, the sumac turns red and fall leaves be-gin to drop.
Anything you can imagine that vague-ly resembles food is stuck on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair. You can buy a hot dish meal and brats, corn on the cob and even s’mores on a stick. Freebies at the State Fair used to include St. Thomas purple and white tote bags, free glasses of milk and free yard sticks. I hope they’ll still be available. Of course, nobody can avoid hearing the chattering vendor of that miraculous food processor which cuts and slices everything, the lefse baker, and the food hut offering everything edible from cinnamon rolls to lamb kabobs to bison bites.
Better than food on a stick, to me, are the classic dining halls which have exist-ed since the late 19th century. Today, it’s tough to fi nd enough volunteers to work the arduous schedule of the food halls. In past years there were more than 50 church-run eateries on the fairgrounds. Today, we’re down to only two choices, the 116 year old Hamline Methodist church dining hall from St. Paul’s United Methodist Church and the the smaller hall run by Salem Lu-theran church in Mpls. Salem is only 64 years young, a relative youngster when it comes to dining halls at the fair.
Through our fair-going years, Dave and I have regularly feasted at the Salem site. Their tummy-satisfying meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy meals remind us of the home cooked meals our Moms Esther and Agnes made daily. We come from “meat and potatoes” families: like many, we grew up on farms and small towns in rural MIn-nesota, where agriculture was the primary livelihood. Today, fewer than 2 percent of the population are in agriculture.
Volunteers staff the dining halls cook-ing, serving, and cleaning up at 50 daily shifts, always with a smile. Swedish cof-fee, with an egg mixed into the grounds, is a “must” for many Scandinavians. Natu-rally, a good cup of coffee needs a real chi-na cup, none of those styrofoam cups for Norwegians. And coffee must be accom-panied by a juicy piece of apple, pumpkin or cherry pie or a sugar cookie or slice of chocolate cake. After viewing the displays of angel food, chocolate, marble and lem-on cakes next to sweet rolls, coffeecakes,
stollen, and kringle at the Creative Activities Building, we’re hun-gry. Mouths salivat-ing, we head for the dining hall, dreaming of sweet, sugary, but-tery pastries to munch on between sips of coffee.
Minnesota has been called “The Bread and Butter State.” Crusty slices of home-made bread spread with plenty of real but-ter and raspberry jam was a favorite after school snack for me. When I’d walk home, several blocks from the school on the hill, Mom would usually have either brown-ing loaves of bread cooling or her favorite chocolate cake with fudge frosting sliding over the edges. My favorites were either an end piece of cake, or of bread, as that held the most frosting or butter. To this day, we always manage to take time to survey the carving of the butter head of Princess Kay of the Milky Way from an 85 to 90 pound block of butter. This popular site began in the 1950s.
The Fine Arts Building, which opened in 1911, used to feature art loaned from galleries all over the world, even some Pi-casso, O’Keefe and Rubens works were on display. Eventually, the art work was shift-ed from the collection of master painters to showcase paintings, ceramics, photographs and sculptures of Minnesota artists.
No State Fair experience would be complete without visits to the milking par-lor, birthing barn, nursing piglets, sheep shearing, the huge horses parading around the Grandstand and the giant, expensive work machines on Machinery Hill.
Being empty nesters, one area of the fair we don’t hit any more is the rides. Our stomachs can’t take the lurching and toss-ing of the roller coaster, the tilt-a-whirl, even the topsy-turvy ferris wheel. Now we prefer to listen to the music at the beer or wine gardens and watch the various mu-sical acts and talent shows. Once you get in, there’s so much free entertainment.
The show both of us miss is Garri-son Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion” show at the Grandstand. Nothing is more inspirational than the huge crowd rising and singing “American the Beautiful” un-der starry skies exploding with spectacular fi reworks...what a patriotic evening! What a loss that Garrison no longer has his show at the fair.
Plan a day or two at the great Minne-sota Get-Together, the fabulous Minneso-ta State Fair. It’s the perfect treat before going back to school and our regular fall schedules.
Don’t judge a book by its cover or don’t let a past experience stop you from venturing out to take an-other look at a challenge in a different way.
I can still remem-ber the scratches on my best friend’s hands when I was in second grade. They were from her beloved cats. When visiting her house, I was a bit ner-vous about the sneakiness of the cats, and I decided that I was not a cat person. This was the answer I gave my daughter for 14 years.
Even so, at 8, she purchased a book about raising cats while saying she wasn’t sure why she was buying it as I would nev-er let her own a cat. I always told her she was right but that she could have one when she grew up and had a home of her own.
Well, one evening in April, she came home from a friend’s house and walked in to greet me. She was carrying a black sweatshirt and to my surprise and alarm I realized the sweatshirt had blue eyes that were staring at me as this little black kit-ten blended into the sweatshirt. Before she could say much, I was saying that she had to give it back and that she should go catch up with the owner so they could take it home. To my chagrin they had already driven away. I was a bit beside myself.
At this point, I began listening to her reasoning. The kitten’s mother had died, it was a barn kitten that she didn’t think had a very good chance of surviving, she would raise it and then have it adopted. That’s how Taco came to live with us.
For weeks, I barely touched the kit-ten as I was afraid of her claws but I did admire her cuteness. I’d always heard of declawing and thought that when she was older that was the route to go (which it is for some owners) but after reading up on it and realizing that she didn’t show her claws unless provoked, I quickly changed my mind.
As the weeks past, I found myself nudging into Taco’s life, little by little. We found that she could make a toy out of anything, as my daughter said, even dust! Watching her play with our dogs was great fun, as Taco would lie in the dog bed while
they pulled her in cir-cles. I now found her to be playful vs. sneaky when she would look like she was trying to hide and pounce. She also picked up some of the characteristics of
our dogs, as she would join them as they ran to the door to see who was coming. I began picking her up under her two front legs while walking forward which prevent-ed her from scratching me. This evolved into actually holding her, stroking her neck and head (while still walking and facing her forward) and then one day, she climbed onto my lap. I had never experienced a kitten purring before and was wondering if everything was ok as the volume of the outboard motor increased. It was an awe-some experience. Finally, I realized that when she brushed up against my legs, it was in the morning as if to greet me and show appreciation for a good night’s sleep, food and water.
Nearly two weeks ago, my daughter followed through with her proposal. She loved and nurtured Taco and then found a home for her with a family member who thinks she is awesome.
So there you have it! I see cats in a dif-ferent way, and I am now grateful that my daughter took a chance that I might soften my heart for a kitten named Taco.

Mary Evenson elected Fellow of American Occupational Therapy Association
Editor’s Note: Mary is a 1977 Starbuck High School graduate and the daughter of Rose Evenson, of Starbuck, and the late Charles Evenson.
Starbuck native and MGH Institute of Health Professions Clinical Associate Professor Mary Evenson, OTD, MPH, OTR/L, FAOTA, was elected as a Fellow of the American Occu-pational Therapy Association (AOTA) at the or-ganization’s 2013 annual conference.
Dr. Evenson, who recently joined the MGH Institute’s Department of Occupational Thera-py, was honored in recognition of her contribu-tions for excellence in fi eldwork education and professional development.
“I am delighted to be able to apply my ex-pertise in building the fi eldwork program that will be integral to the new entry-level Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) curriculum,” said Dr. Evenson. “It is exciting to work collabora-tively with colleagues in physical therapy, communication scienc-es and disorders, and nursing to promote the interprofessional education initiatives and inno-vations that are part of the MGH Institute’s mission.”
Dr. Evenson has published extensively on the topic of fi eld-work education and has present-ed at local, state, national, and in-ternational conferences. She is a contributing author to the Amer-ican Occupational Therapy As-sociation’s (AOTA) Fieldwork Educator Certifi cate Program, which supports clinical educators in promoting excellence in their supervisory roles to train fi eld-work students.
Before joining the MGH Institute, Dr. Evenson held ac-ademic appointments at Boston University and Tufts University. Her clinical experience includes positions at Cedars-Sinai Med-ical Center in Los Angeles and Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines. Dr. Evenson has served patients across the contin-uum of care, with a specialty in arthritis care and management.
She also worked with staff development and clinical education in the hospital setting.
MGH Institute of Health Professions, founded by Massachusetts General Hospital in 1977, is an innovative and independent graduate school in Boston that is a member of Partners HealthCare. A progressive leader in developing comprehensive models of health care education, the MGH Institute prepares advanced practice professionals in the fi elds of communication sciences and disorders, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation sciences through a distinctive combination of academic study, clinical prac-tice, and research. More than 1,200 students are enrolled in graduate level and certifi cate pro-grams, with an increasing number of courses available online. The MGH Institute is accredit-ed by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

Fred Switzer, who has been the administrator of the Cyrus Scholar-ship Program for the past 30 years, is retiring from the program and pass-ing the leadership to a former Cyrus student, Alan Estenson. Alan was a recipient of the scholarship 26 years ago and has been active as a member of the selection committee for many years.
The scholarship will remain the same, providing $6,000 for the fi rst two years of college and $8,000 for years three and four. In addition, funds at $8,000 per year may be pro-vided for graduate school for two years at the request of the student. The scholarship also provides funds the fi rst year to purchase computer equipment, providing 50 percent of a maximum of $3,000.
To be eligible, the student must attend the University of Minnesota and be accepted into the College of Science and Engineering, refrain from the use of alcohol and drugs, maintain
a grade point average which allows the student to remain in the collegeand continue to be a full-time student.
For the 2013-14 school year,three students were awarded scholar-ships: Jamie Smith from Minnewaska Area High School, Nicholas Hesel-tine from Jefferson High School andTahni Jungst from Morris Area High School.
The scholarship is funded by afoundation established by a former student of the Cyrus School, RichardHanschen.
The foundation has provided ed-ucational funding for students in thearea for the past 30 years. Approxi-mately 50 students have been assisted with college funding in the amount of approximately $700,000.
Mr. Hanschen is a generous man who is very proud of his years in theCyrus school and has a desire to assistthe very high achieving students who live here in Central Minnesota.
Cyrus Scholarship Program under new leadership after 30 years
Taking full advantage of using technolo-gy as a teaching tool was the focus for educa-tor Karen Thompson from Minnewaska Area Schools, who recently participated in BestPrep’s Technology Integration Workshop (TIW). This professional development opportunity is de-signed to help educators enliven their lessons by utilizing technology and workplace skills, and has been a successful program of Best-Prep for the past ten years.
Thompson teaches family and consumer science at Min-newaska Area High School. She is also the advisor for National Honor Society and works with the student lead-ership group. Thompson said the workshop provided a good learning opportunity. “There was a lot of great information to bring back to challenge my students and myself with,” she said.
BestPrep partnered with the University of St. Thomas to host 74 educa-tors from around the state. The four-day work-shop ran from July 29-Aug. 1, and gave edu-cators the opportunity to hear from experts in the fi eld of education technology as well as take part in small group breakout sessions which fo-cused on their technological needs.
Interactive whiteboards, iPads, podcasts, and Prezi presentations were among the topics discussed. Participants also brought a lesson unit they wanted to modify, and with the help of a technology integration specialist, developed a
technology infused lesson or unit plan.On Tuesday each educator spent time job
shadowing volunteers from the Minnesota busi-ness community. These volunteer business part-ners came from such companies as 3M, Allianz Life, TCF Bank, Grant Thorton, Target, Thom-son Reuters, and Travelers Insurance. The busi-
ness partners gave educators insight into the pro-fessional skills stu-dents will need to be successful in the future. The goal of the job shadow ex-perience was to help educators develop relevant curriculum that connects with real-world applica-tions.
“With the rapid, day-to-day advance-ment of technology, educators need to continually educate
themselves on what’s new, in order to remain ahead of the curve. BestPrep hopes that through their participation in the Technology Integration Work-shop, educators will understand how to best utilize today’s technology to teach their students,” Bonnie Vagasky, TIW program manager at BestPrep, said.
For more information about Best-Prep, TIW 2013 or TIW 2014, visit the website at www.bestprep.org or call 763-398-0090.

Do you say “rud-beckia” instead of “black eyed Susan”, or “echina-cea” instead of “purple cone fl ower”? Do you know the best methods for ridding a garden of Colorado potato beetles or how to best protect your prize-winning tomatoes from blight? If you love gardening and love to share your passion for gardening with others, consider becoming a University of Minnesota Exten-sion Master Gardener. The Master Gardener program is a two-part educational effort, in which avid gar-deners receive many hours of intense home horticulture training, and in return they vol-unteer at the local level in many garden-re-lated activities. In 2012, University of Minnesota Ex-tension Master Gardener volunteers gave nearly 130,000 hours of service to their communities. That is an average of 52.8 hours per volunteer and a public value worth more than $2.5 million. These enthusiastic University-trained volunteers help Minne-
sotans solve problems and make their commu-nities more sustainable, more beautiful, more knowledgeable, and more fun! To become a Mas-ter Gardener, you must apply to your local ex-
tension offi ce by Oct. 1, 2013. Upon accep-tance in your home county, you then take the Master Gardener Core Course. After completing the Core Course, Master Gar-deners are required to volunteer 50 hours the fi rst year and 25 hours annually there-after. Active volunteers are also asked to participate in continuing education of 5-12 hours per year, depending on the county in which they volunteer. The Master Gardener core course for 2014 will be offered online from Jan. 13-May 9 and face-to-face at the University of Minnesota – St. Paul campus from Jan. 14 – Feb. 8. If you are interested in becoming a Douglas County Master Gardener, contact Douglas County Extension at 320-762-
3890. For other counties, contact your local Extension offi ce. Until next time, happy gar-dening!

Becoming a Master Gardener

A favorite columnist of mine, a former hog farmer named Brent Ol-son, had an interesting column dated August 15, 2013. Our farm years ago raised hogs and chickens, so I can relate somewhat to the story. I quote in its entirety: I was reading an article about a family who is starting a little farm, hoping to raise and sell vegetables and meat to their neighbors. What’s interesting is that the farm is in Sono-ma County, California, they had to borrow 5 million dollars to buy 300 acres and equip-ment, and they sell chickens for $28 each. Okay, that ISN’T the interesting part, this is: the business is owned by a family of non-farmers and in the interview one of them said, and I quote, “The most amazing thing happens when a sow is in labor down in the farrowing pen. The laying hens will go and gather round her and make sure to drop an egg right near her face for a little added protein to keep her energy up.” Here’s the thing. THAT DOESN’T HAP-PEN. Granted, while I feel like I know hogs pretty well after three decades as a hog farm-er, I only have twenty years or so of chicken experience, so maybe I’m missing some deep wells of intelligence and compassion in the average hen. And, this farm is in California, where, unlike western Minnesota, many mag-ical things happen. Even so, I’m willing to bet almost any amount of money that there are no tender, inter-species birthing-bonding occa-sions in which chickens sacrifi ce their eggs so a sow can keep her energy up while farrowing. But that isn’t the most interesting part, ei-ther. The most interesting part was that this article was in the New York Times and no one, not the reporter or any of the people who were commenting mentioned or questioned the statement about the hen/sow birthing extrav-aganza. I don’t know how to put this tactfully, so I’ll just say it straight out. Are people really that stupid? It seems a fair question. Here’s a state-ment about animal behavior that Walt Disney wouldn’t have put in a cartoon and it’s ap-parently accepted as fact by the reporter and readers in one of the great newspapers in the world. Does that worry anyone? I mean, I don’t know a lot about New York, but if some-one told me there were alligators the size of
Volkswagens in the sew-ers I’d be a little dubious. I’ve never been to Tim-buktu, but if someone told me that it’s a place where people walk on their heads and eat fried mud, I would express po-lite doubt. But someone is
quoted in a news article as saying that on a farm chickens gather around sows farrow-ing and lay eggs conveniently close to their mouths so they can get some added protein to keep their strength up and no one notices that she’s talking nonsense? What else hap-pens? Are the rats bringing ice chips so the sow doesn’t get a dry mouth? Are the llamas weaving receiving blankets for the piglets? Now, I’m not mocking city folks moving to the country—I wish more of them would do just that. We have plenty of room out here and it’s a great place to live, so come on out. And I’m certainly not mocking someone who can sell a chicken for $28.00—more power to her. My point is that in this world, there are any number of gray areas where honest dis-agreement is likely to occur, and in those cas-es reporters should just report the facts and let people judge for themselves. But some things are true beyond reasonable dispute, and some things are complete nonsense, and it’s my opinion that if someone is pouting nonsense to a reporter, it’s part of his/her job to point out the deviation from reality. And if the reporter/newspaper/TV station doesn’t even NOTICE the deviation from reality, it’s okay to point that out, too.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * It’s mighty dry here in southern Pope County. The only rain we have had in August this year is 1.3 inches on the 5th and 6th. By this time in August of 2012 we had about 3.5 inches, scattered in six different rain events. Those August rains made our corn and soy-bean crops last year. Our crops this year were behind right away, being planted later than normal. So with the hail and dry weather in July and August we will be relying on all-crop and hail insurance to try to pay our high input costs and also dealing with lower crop prices. Quite a difference from last year!!

Community worship and potluck
God is not an austere judge in the sky who loves to throw the book at all evildoers. He’s not a capri-cious old uncle who loves to be pampered with praise and sacrifi ce. He’s not an exalted landlord who has tenanted his world with crawling and cowering slaves. Nor is he a kindly and venerable grandfather who absentmindedly overlooks the shame and reproach of his children. God is a hunter who pursues us relent-lessly with his justice and his love. He’s a lover who woos and courts our favor. He’s a rescuer who suffers and dies to save us from our sins. He’s a servant who rolls up his sleeves and waits tables at the heaven-ly banquet for us, his children. There is no other religion in all the world that has had the incredible audacity and boldness to picture God as a seeker, a lover, a sav-ior, a servant. Our Lord is a king of heaven and earth. And what a strange and wondrous king! Can you imagine an earthly king, say Lou-is XIV of France in his splendor, waiting tables in his castle at Versailles, except in royal jest? Normally the king is the sought one, someone people seek out for patron-age and favors. He is the adored one, someone people praise. He is the served
one, to whom hundreds and thousands give their service and protection. The Bible sketches the Great King in a daring rever-sal of roles. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son.” “He humbled himself and took the
form of a servant.” “He will make them sit down to meat, and will come and serve them.” But we may not like to be hunted. The prospect of being hunted or sought may be comforting or discomforting, depend-ing on the disposition of our hearts. Until the end, he will keep pursuing us. In his celebrated poem, The Hound of Heaven, Francis Thompson describes one hunted of God: “I fl ed him, down the nights and down the days: I fl ed him down the arches of the years,....I hid from him...up vistaed hopes I sped...From those strong Feet that fol-lowed, followed after... The Voice is round me like a bursting sea... Lo, all things fl y thee, for thou fl iest me.” “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lost one of them, did not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he fi nds it?” (Luke 15:4)

As for advice to the Minnewaska area, all the panel-ists talked about defi ning a mission, a goal and projects and then working toward achieving them. Many of those goals don’t have to come from government agencies, but rather from community residents who step up to be lead-ers and champions for a project or goal.
John Davis, of Lanesboro, said he had the vision of making Lanesboro the best cultural and arts community in America. He started with the community arts groups, which, as it turned out, all rejected his vision. It wasn’t until some years later, he said, when the idea was tak-en up again and realized. He said the city was recently named among the top 12 arts places in America.
He talked about how arts and culture in a small com-munity like Lanesboro overlapped with economic devel-opment, tourism and recreation.
Mackedanz talked about vision of Park Rapids host-ing the Governor’s Fishing Opener and said that he turned down the request to chair the project numerous times be-fore fi nally accepting it. “We were denied in 2010 and again in 2011, and then the governor’s offi ce accepted our application in 2012. By 2013 “we had to be ready to go,” and he said it was through community commitment that the event was so successful. About 113,000 came to the community because of the Governor’s Fishing Open-er.
The community raised enough money to host the event and to have some left over for another event. In addition, more than 400 community volunteers came to-gether to organize and host the event. “We had too many volunteers and that speaks volumes about our communi-ty,” he said.
Both Mackendanz and Davis talked about patience in accomplishing goals and Davis encouraged community leaders to “let go of your ego and listen to others’ ideas and visions.” He talked about how projects do have risks for a community but added, “Sometimes the real risk is doing nothing.”
What about overcoming the “we’ve never done it that way before,” mindset?
“So what,” said Wright. “Really, I mean say so what.”
She talked about how some community members may hate a specifi c idea or project, but added, “that’s okay.
“Let them hate it. Not everybody is going to like everything,” she added. “Get your ego out of the way–I can’t stress that enough–who really cares whose idea it is.
“Be the manure underneath the soil and watch every-thing grow.”
Brent Gulsvig of Guls-vig Productions of Glen-wood recorded the entire panel discussion and copies of his video recording can be purchased. It will also be available on the cham-ber’s website in the coming week for community mem-bers to view.

ACLU alleged that school offi cials and the Pope County Sheriff’s Department exceeded their authority in dealing with the issue, which included the suspension of R.S., because the comments posted on Facebook about the paraprofessional were posted off campus and on R.S.’s own computer.
The school district contended that any viewing of the student’s Facebook account was done with the express consent of the parent, the student’s email account was not accessed by the district, and that the district did not violate R.S.’s civil rights.
According to the ACLU’s website, the case is cur-rently in the “discovery phase.” During the discovery phase of a civil lawsuit, the parties try to learn as much as they can about the nature and the merits of the oth-er party’s position. This phase may include requests to produce documents, written questions of the other party called interrogatories, or depositions, which are face-to-face question-and-answer sessions under oath.
At last Tuesday’s county board meeting, commis-sioners authorized the board chair and the county coordi-nator to sign an agreement that releases all claims against the county and removes the county from the ACLU law-suit.
County Coordinator Jim Thoreen said the agreement did not involve any payment by the county. However, the agreement did specify that Pope County Sheriff’s Depu-ty Gilbert Mitchell, Minnewaska’s school resource offi -cer, would be required to testify in the future if needed, said Thoreen.

By Lee Paulson Julie Lloyd, director of the Terrace
Mill Children’s Theatre, has a magic for-mula that works every time she stages another play with children from the sur-rounding area, oftentimes adding to the cast children with parents vacationing here from as far away as New York state and California. The second production this year featured only two non-locals, howev-er, one from New York City and another from Minneapolis. The talent to be found right here is truly amazing, and it is a pure delight to watch children of all ages inter-act with each other to create one amusing play after another with the same verve and panache that one would expect from pro-fessional theaters.
Lloyd has a penchant for wacky plots, characters and situations that represent various kinds of theater, from commedia del arte to impromptu scripts that offer the kids an opportunity to display a wide vari-ety of talents that are more often than not completely over the top! The director has unfathomed skills to draw from the young actors uninhibited performances that ut-terly captivate the large audiences that frequent these productions for all perfor-mances.
There are several cast members I would like to single out as having special gifts for acting at an early age but that would not be fair to the ensemble casting that works so well for them as they collab-orate together as a team. We all have heard of actors and actresses whose parents were in show business, and their progeny are reported to have been born backstage in a trunk. Well, some of these kids give the same impression, exhibiting a love for the stage that may indicate the beginning of professional acting careers.
Lucy Lloyd works in tandem with her mother, devising the sometimes intricate choreography, wildly imaginative cos-tumes from cast-off fabrics, and enthusi-
astic role playing by usually appearing herself in supporting roles in almost all of the 14 years of delightful productions, two each season, that culminated in the two performances this week.
It takes superhuman skills to bring a play to production in just a few weeks’ time, working under adverse rehearsal schedules with youngsters who have other summer commitments that often interfere with a tight schedule, when the interac-tion of the characters demands that all be present. Lloyd displays these superhuman abilities in spades!
Audiences appear to fi nd these produc-tions of special interest since attendance seems to increase each year, and it is hoped that they will continue far into the future, offering rural students an opportunity to display their thespian skills even during the sometimes boring, hot and humid days of July and August, when few chances for creative ac-tivity are of-fered here in West Central M i n n e s o t a . Kudos to all who worked to create this delightful pro-duction and to the parents who encour-age participa-tion in such a worthy outlet for their chil-dren’s talents. ~L.P.

The Minnewaska football team begins its 2013 season on Aug. 30 at home against Morris. Head coach Steve Hill is optimistic that the Lak-ers can pick up where they left off in 2012, when they won six straight games at the end of the season and were within one more win of a berth in the state tournament. Minnewaska returns eight start-ers on each side of the ball and has the makings of a good offensive and defensive line, necessities for a suc-cessful season. Returning starters on the offen-sive and defensive lines will be Tay-lor Lundebrek (#77 - Sr. 6-0 190), JR Formo (#64 - Sr. 5-10 215), Ryan Stottler (#57 – Sr. 5-9 200) and Mike Maus (#75 – Jr. 6-0 235). Other key players up front will be Alex Elwood (Sr. T), Greg Red-dest (Sr. ST), Jackson Hendrickson (Jr. C), Grant Hitchcock (So. G), Brad Jacobs (So. T), Treyson De-Jager (So. T), Jeff Helander (So. T), Nelson Lundebrek (So. C), Blake Joos (So. G), and Dawson Pobuda (So. G) Senior QB Austin Ostrander (#3 - Sr. 6-4 185) will be calling the
signals. In the backfi eld, the Lakers return sophomore Greg Helander (#36 – So. 6-0 190). The receiving corps includes returning starters se-nior wide outs Jayden Beecher (#2 - Sr. 6-1 190) and Jack Schultenover (4 - Sr. 5-11 165). Gary Steffenson (#28 - Sr. 5-9 155) anchors the linebacking corps and will be joined by Beecher and Helander. Stottler, Jackson Hen-drickson, Matt Paulson, Will Ander-son and Austin VerSteeg will round out the linebacker position. Schultenover and Ostrander will be in the defensive backfi eld, joined by juniors Jon Nygaard, Luke Nielsen and Bret Ingebretson. Also contributing to defensive back-fi eld duties will be Andrew Kinney (Sr.), Dalton Feeken (Jr.), Brady Brecht (Jr.), Matt McIver (So.), Jus-tin Amundson (So.), Mike Gruber (So.), and Tanner Lybek (So.) The kicking game duties will fall to senior kicker Ethan Anderson (#47 - Sr. K 6-1 155) and punter Austin Ostrander. The long snapper will be Jayden Beecher. The Lakers’ coaching staff re-
turns intact and includes Gordy Mo-eller, Dieken Swalla, Trevor Solem, Kurt Amundson and Chris Hill. Coach Hill believes the WCC will be a balanced conference once again. BOLD and ACGC may have the preseason advantage. Paynes-ville will also have a strong team. Little is known about Melrose as they return to the WCC. The top teams in Section 6AA
appear to be BOLD, the defendingchamp who look to be the favor-ite once again. Not much is knownabout Minneota/Lincoln HI, (new toSection 6AA) except that Minneotahas had a very good program, histor-ically. The Vikings, like the Lakers,fell one game short of the state tour-nament last year and return a num-ber of starters.
The Gators swim team, representing Mor-ris-Minnewaska-Benson-Chokio-Alberta, start-ed practice on Aug. 12. “In every practice the girls seem to improve in one area of a stroke,” said head coach Lin-da Hoffmann. “We are very young, with only one senior, but we have a core group of fresh-men, sophomores and juniors that will be fun and exciting to watch as the season progresses. I believe many of these swimmers, along with senior Amanda Thompson, are versatile enough to swim a variety of events. I haven’t had this type of depth in a very long time.” Coach Hoffmann is entering her 18th year as a head coach. Besides Thompson, who will specialize in the I.m. butterfl y and breastroke events, the junior corps will consist of Lindsay Schmidt in the free and backstroke events, Arianna Maras in the mid distance events, Ashley Homme in the long distance, Ashlee Boysen in the mid dis-tance and Bridgitte Weaver in the mid distance and long distance events. The sophomore contingent consists of Mi-randa Cerney in the butterfl y and free events, Meghan Thoen swimming the backstroke and sprint events, Emily Edmunds in the butterfl y and mid distance, Halleigh Thompson at long distance and Mason Schlief in the sprint and mid distance events. Coach Hoffmann expects the sophomores to make big gains after getting varsity experi-ence last year. “They are stronger, motivated and learned a lot last season in their fi rst year on varsity,” stated Hoffmann. This year’s Gator team has a very large group of freshmen.
“This group has been working really hard and for some this is only their second year in the sport, and they are doing very well,” observed Hoffmann. “I believe they will surprise a few conference foes.” The freshmen are made up of Natasha Nem-mers, Greta Serrin, Rachel Stai, Alicia Peder-son, Haley Gallagher, Kallan Mercier, Patience Tharp, Ashley Anderson and Tristin Heald. Rounding out the junior high team will be Mariah Anderson, Rachel Erickson, Julia Hoff-mann, Erin Edmunds, Anna Haus and Meghan Cerney along with sev-enth-graders Lacey Entzi, Brittany Lardy, Eleah But-ler, Elizabeth Mayer and Morgan Steinke. Entzi will also be competing in the varsity lineup in a multi-tude of events. Morris will have 14 swimmers to combine with the Minnewaska girls and Benson is contributing one swimmer, Danielle Reuss, a seventh-grader. The Gators are assist-ed by Kris Entzi and Anita Nelson. Melrose is expected to lead the WCC, with Mel-rose and Sartell appearing to be the favorites in the section. Alexandria will host the True Team and Section swim meets this fall.

Posted on voiceofalexandria.com by Joe Korkowski Since day one of Northwoods League baseball in Alexandria back in 2001, Michael Right has been behind the microphone at home games, an-nouncing players, revving up the fans, and watching a lot of baseball. When asked about the time spent as P.A. he said, “For 13 years, I have had one great, long ride being the P.A. announcer at Knute Nelson Ballpark with the Alexandria Beetles, now known as the Blue Anchors. It’s time to step aside. Countless memories and lots of great baseball from some of the best players that college baseball had to offer during those years, and I had the opportunity to see some great things during that time.” Michael summed up his tenure with the club with his very own TOP 13 list, titled “13 Years, 13 GREAT Memories Of Northwoods League Baseball:” 13. The outstanding play-by-play from Curt Carstensen for the Alexan-dria Beetles and the time we switched jobs for one inning. It turns out that I’m no no play-by-play guy, and he’s no P.A. Announcer! 12. The Beetles players on a very hot and humid summer day during the fi rst season, riding down the left fi eld line in the Yellow Submarine and opening fi re on the fans in the stands with Super-Soaker squirt guns. 11. The antics of “Super Fan,” Bernice. ‘Nuff said. 10. Alexandria native player Ca-leb Curry dancing up a storm every time I played Cotton-Eyed Joe. 9. ALL of the big names in sports and entertainment I met at some of the games…Bret Saberhagen, Tony Oliva, Juan Berenger, Frank Viola, Goose Goosage, Tom Kelly, William “The Refrigerator” Perry, Jack Morris, Bob Feller, “Roscoe” from Dukes Of Haz-zard, Dan Gladden…and last, but not least, William Hung. 8. Eating hot peppers from my garden with the one and only Barry Williams (aka “Greg Brady” from The Brady Bunch).
7. My last game, the fi nal home game of the Blue Anchors 2013 sea-son, manager Al Newman almost fall-ing on his backside when the fi reworks shot off during the national anthem. 6. Doing “Shoot The Minnow” with Beetles owners Jim and Jill Wag-ner at home plate. 5. Watching my buddy Travis Santjer from Cullen’s Home Center catch a foul ball in his beer cup on the Tastefully Simple Terrace. 4. The 1,137 bratwursts, 2,718 beers, 818 slices of pizza…and a few cheese curds and fries here and there…consumed in the press box by yours truly. 3. Watching some of our former players become major league baseball players. Most notably, Allen Craig, Nick Hundley, Lucas Duda, Danny Worth, Casey Coleman, Jermaine Cur-tis and our fi rst one to make it to the “bigs,” Jeremy Accardo. 2. ALL of the great owners who treated me so kindly and let me have so much fun. In chronological order: Joel Sutherland, Scott Allen, Scott Schnit-ker, Jim & Jill Wagner, Shawn Reilly, Shane Schmidt, Shaynen Schmidt and Adam Barta. 1. Beetles general manager (and one of my best friends ever) Ryan Voz and I driving the Yellow Subma-rine down 5th Avenue (even passing a police offi cer who just waved at us!) and on the sidewalk on Broadway to record a “Talkin’ Beetles Baseball” segment in front of Ace Hardware. Honorable mention: My family from Detroit and Colorado coming to a game. Michael also mentions that he would like to thank to “all of the peo-ple who attended the games to make the experience even better.”

Cam Schafer sprints to another win
Minnewaska’s volleyball team begins play on Thursday with a match at YME. The 2013 team is coming off of a solid season in 2012, going 15-9 overall, 9-4 in WCC play, good for second place. The Lakers return four letter winners. They are senior Alison Hoeper who started at OH/RH, junior Ariel Ostrander who started at OH/RH, senior Shanae Suchy who played at DS and sophomore Emma Middendorf at MH/RH. Head coach Linda Mills lists senior Jordan Hill, juniors Becca Goettsch and Kaitlyn Lundebreck, sophomore Kaylee Glover and freshmen Abby Ver Steeg, Ashlyn Guggisberg, Taylor Amundson and Carley Stewart as new prospects that will vie for playing time. Mills will be assisted on the coaching staff by Keshia Solem and Tabby Swenson. Sauk Centre again appears to be the team to beat in the WCC. Litchfi eld should be a factor in the section playoff picture.
Cam Schafer, in his #54 sprint car, won the 21st Kouba Memorial Race on Aug. 17, at the St. Croix Valley Raceway in Centuria, Wisc. Normally the track runs on Friday nights, but a special Saturday night race was added, a Traditional Sprint & Winged 360 Sprint UMSS (sanctioning body) Special. Schafer won the heat race and the Tradi-tional Sprints feature event at the 1/4 mile dirt oval track. Schafer started in the fi fth spot, and at the halfway mark of the race, he made his move to the top spot. Shafer held the lead the rest of the way over the 20-lap feature event. The track had a full house in the grandstand with fi reworks to mark the special event. The Schafers want to thank the sponsors of Cam Schafer’s #54 sprint race car. They include: Meixel Truck Sales of Starbuck, Klimek Farms, Glenwood, (2013 Minnesota Farm Family of the Year); Sturdy Racing En-gines of Milbank, S.D., Kar Kraft Body Shop, Glenwood, Highcroft Co. of Le Sueur, DJ’s Sports, Glenwood, and Schaeffer’s Manufac-turing Company (Stuart Olson, Alexandria, MN).
The Lakers girls’ tennis team is off to a fl ying start on the 2013 season, racking up four wins last week. Minnewaska opened the season with a dual meet played at Long Prairie on Tuesday. The Lakers dominated the Thun-der, not losing a single set in the 7-0 victory. Ellen Stensrud and Hannah Freske at singles and the doubles team of Joelle Thorfi nnson and Annika Pederson all rolled to 6-0, 6-0 victo-ries. The Lakers hosted a quadrangular on Thursday. Montevi-deo, Parkers Prairie and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa made up the fi eld for the event. Minnewaska whitewashed both Montevideo and Parkers Prairie before ending their day with a 6-1 victory over the Jag-uars. Sarah Freske and Karissa LaMont, playing at #3 doubles, ended their day winning 24 of 25 games, taking a 6-0, 6-1 win over their foes from Parkers Prairie and a 6-0, 6-0 win over BBE.

Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a su-doku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Answers to the crossword will be displayed in next Monday’s issue.

Area schools are one district August 29, 1963 - A Leven Township farmer was killed when his car col-lided with another on a rural road near Villard. The fi ve occupants of the second car were injured in the crash. The death was the county’s second auto fatality of the year and oc-curred just a few miles from the scene of the fi rst fatal accident. Two Evansville well drillers died on a farm in Nora Township as methane gas overcame them while they were drilling a well. A Kensington fi reman was overcome by the fumes as well when he descended into the well to recover the bodies. He was treated at the Minnewaska Hospital. Dave Finke of Finke Ford Motor Sales announced his intent to construct a new building at his business site. The building would house the service and parts depart-ment of the business. Finke Ford had been operating since 1957. August 30, 1973 - In 1932 a young couple from St. Paul purchased virgin land on Lake Minnewaska and moved to the area to build one cabin which they later de-veloped into Woodlawn Resort. Now Mr. and Mrs. Tag Olson were selling the re-sort to move to San Diego to be near their daughter there. The Olson’s sold the resort to Mr. and Mrs. Randy Crumb. Pope County and the rest of Central Minnesota were sizzling in a heat wave so hot “you could fry an egg on the side-walk.” Temperatures ranged from the high 80s to the mid-90s with the comfort index at “uncomfortable” due to the high humid-ity left by area rains. Classes were already underway in the local schools in spite of the uncomfortable weather. Enrollments passed the 1,400 mark, with 74 teachers on the faculty. The Lakers football coaching staff, consisting of head coach Dale Gasser, Mike Louden and Butch Taschner, had started training for the season. Home games were scheduled against New Lon-don-Spicer, Sauk Centre, Albany and Long Prairie. August 25, 1983 - The annual 4-H county fair tractor driving contest win-ners were pictured in the Tribune. They included Lynn Peterson, Robert Bryce, Rod Stoen and Kevin Malo. Stoen, Kurt Lardy and Mike Stoen would represent the local FFA at the state fair driving contest so Bryce would go as a 4-H representative. Several hundred area homes and busi-
ness were left without pow-er on a Friday afternoon forabout 2 1/2 hours following a lightning strike. Winds upto 60 mph had also roaredinto the area leaving downed trees and branches lyingaround.
Among the 4-H champions at the an-nual Pope County Fair, those pictured inthe Tribune included Joel Maanum, Matt Mattson, Jolene Mattson, Libby Hoffman,Dawn Kuseske, Tammy Zavadil, Car-ol Bryce, Michelle Maher, Tanya Lardy,Sherri Svec, Amy Oeltjen, Scott Johnson an Rod Stoen. These 4-Hers were only asmall representation of all county kids par-ticipating in the fair with their exhibits anddemonstrations. Outstanding senior citizens named at the fair were Henry Foelschow, of Glen-wood, and Agnes Brenden, of Starbuck. Both would appear at the Minnesota StateFair with other outstanding seniors fromthroughout the state. August 30, 1993 - It was back toschool for over 1,800 students in the Min-newaska Area School District on Tuesday, Sept. 7. This was to be the fi rst year forthe elementary schools in Glenwood, Star-buck, Villard and Minnewaska Area High School to operate as one district, School District No. 2149. While many farmers were reporting below-average crops due to the weather,one segment of agriculture, fi sh farming, was not affected by adverse weather con-ditions. Known as “aquaculture,” this newindustry was growing fast in Minnesota inorder to meet consumers’ demand for fi sh. City sidewalks which bordered State Highways 104, 28 and 29 were in the pro-cess of being made more accessible for thehandicapped. F & S Concrete and Paving of Brandon had won the contract from theState of Minnesota to do the work in Glen-wood along the state highways. The work involved removing old curb and sidewalk approaches and replacing them with cutdown curbs and approaches. Federal Law said that all sidewalks were to be accessi-ble by 1996, but the state started the work early in Glenwood. September 1, 2003 - Eurasian water-milfoil is forever. Once the aggressive weed gets into a lake, the chances of get-ting rid of it are nearly impossible. And itwas growing in several locations in LakeMinnewaska. Despite the fact that Eur-asian watermilfoil is not a desirable weed
to have in any body of wa-ter, Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources studies showed that it didn’t spell thedemise of the lake. The new Lakeside fl oorplan was taking shape. Due to codes, rebuilding the ball-room would cost $2 million.

* * * * * * * * * * * The seven “Camp Fire Girls” of Brooten broke up camp and left for their respec-tive homes Tuesday after spend-ing a delightful week’s outing by Scandinavian Lake. Mrs. Nellie Sanders and children and Alex Sanders of Sunburg visited at H.J. Sandvig’s from Saturday until Sunday. Rev. G.T. Lee asks us to announce that the improvements on the Lutheran church will not be completed by next Sunday and that services will therefore be conducted in the city hall. The services will be haled at the usual hour. The Sunday school classes will meet at 12 o’clock for re-organization for the coming year’s work. A.G. Englund brought home a seven passenger sixty horse power Oldsmobile last Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Irgens returned home [Farwell] from the cities Saturday where they had been ordering the fall goods for the Irgens and Jacobson’s store. Anderson Brothers had their thresh-ing separator destroyed by fi re yesterday forenoon while threshing fl ax on Anton Ogdahl’s farm in Barsness. Sparks from the engine had collected in bundles fed
into the separator and started the fi re from the inside of the ma-chine. The machine was comparatively new having been used only two seasons. We understand that there
was no insurance. A.D. Anderson and G.C. Torguson made a trip through different parts of the county Wednesday inspecting the corn grown by the contestants in the acre yield contest. There are eleven contestants and all have done and are doing splendid work. The various patches look very fi ne. It is impossible to say who will score highest. The increased interest in this contest is very gratifying. Corn will soon become one of our leading crops and the acre con-test is helping to bring this about. Governor A.O. Eberhart has accepted an invitation to speak at the Pope County Fair and writes that he will be here Sep-tember 1. The fair management is mak-ing every effort to make the fair a success and has arranged for a number of special features which will appeal to all classes of people. Make up your mind now to spend the three days at the fair and to help make it a success.

Kids ages 10-13 had the opportunity to participate in a fi shing pro-gram this year put on by the Let’s go Fishing youth group. Nancy Koep is the youth coordinator and took the kids out fi shing on Lake Minnewaska nine different times over the course of the summer.
“Every time we went out on the pontoon, it was a blast!” said Koep. “The kids were catching anywhere from eight to 45 fi sh a night—the smiles are priceless.”
This was the fi rst year the LGF program offered the youth program to the kids in the Glenwood district. The program will be back again next year and will be offered to grades 4-6.
“I would like to thank the parents for enrolling their kids in the program,” said Koep. “And to all the kids who participated, I enjoyed spending time with all of you on the pontoon!”
Let’s Go Fishing Youth outings bring in the fi sh and bring out the smiles!
