News Briefs

Saturday, May 11 marks the 21st anniversary of one of America’s great days of giv-ing— the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food drive. Each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from customers. This year, the Glen-wood letter carriers will again participate in the food drive, and all donations go directly to the local food shelf to provide food to people in need in Pope County. Last year, more than 70 mil-lion pounds of food was col-lected, feeding an estimated 30 million people. Over the course of its 20-year history, the drive has collected more than a bil-lion pounds of food. Participating in this year’s Letter Carrier National Food Drive is simple. Just leave a non perishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox this Sat-urday, May 11, and your letter carrier will pick it up.

Sweeping Streets in Glenwood

JFK Dance Show this Sunday

The City of Glenwood will be sweeping the streets the weeks of May 6 and May 13. City residents are asked to move all obstacles from the street, such as vehicles, boats and trailers to help facilitate this cleanup work.

Glenwood Just For Kix will hold its annual Spring Dance Show at 2 p.m. this Sunday, May 12 in the MAHS gym. The public is welcome. Tickets are $6 and available at the door.

Flash mob stops traffi c in GlenwoodAnyone passing through Glenwood Thursday evening at 5 p.m. was treated to a head turning, toe-tapping (and traf-fi c-stopping) surprise. Broad-way singer and actor J. Mark McVey, who was in town for a concert at Central Square, organized a fl ash mob, what looked like an impromptu per-formance of Anything Goes. Community members partic-ipated in the fl ash mob and also had an opportunity to work with McVey at a master class Thursday night. McVey also spent time with MAHS choir students on Friday.

What a difference a year makes.Last year, Lake Minnewaska set

a record for the earliest ice-out date in the 107 years of recorded history.This year, it is possible the record for the latest ice-out date , set on May 7 of 1950, could be shattered.

With the ice still on many area lakes with just days to go before theMinnesota fi shing season opens onMay 11, there are a myriad of prob-lems that could baffl e anglers in Pope County and central Minnesota.

For one, many of the usual pub-lic access landing docks may not beinstalled by Saturday, depending on when lakes lose their winter ice cov-ering. And, the water temperatureswill be colder than usual, makingit diffi cult for eager anglers to fi nd walleyes, much less entice them tobite.

Lake Minnewaska is always afavorite destination for many peo-ple on the opener...but this year’s weather could certainly “throw ev-erything into a tailspin,” said Kyle Thompson of FishOn Bait and Sport in downtown Glenwood. “There might be large sheets of ice still fl oat-ing around even on the opener, onlytime will tell,” he said. “Some high temps and warm rains could turn ev-erything around in a hurry, but both of those are things we haven’t seen for awhile.”

For just more than a year now, staff and patients at Glacial Ridge Hospital in Glenwood have been pioneers of medical technology.

In February 2012, two vir-tual medicine systems, or eCare systems, were installed at GRHS through a $730,085 grant from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. The eCare sys-tem is the fi rst model of its kind in the nation, an innovative model for telehealth run by Avera Health’s eCare Services in Sioux Falls, S.D.

The two systems installed at GRHS are eEmergency and ePhar-macy. The eEmergency system links the GRHS emergency room to emergency-trained physicians and specialists at a central hub, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The ePharmacy system provides rural hospitals like GRHS with around-the-clock access to hospital-trained pharmacists, making it possible for every medication order to be reviewed and approved before ad-ministration to patients.

eEmergencyThe eEmergency system is set

up in two rooms—the major trau-ma/critical care room and second-ary ER room.

With the push of a red button,

the phone line dials in to the Ave-ra Health hub in Sioux Falls, S.D. Avera staff then make a video con-nection to GRHS from their end. That’s technically what happens, explained GRHS registered nurse

and emergency room nurse man-ager Jeanette Pasche. What it looks like is that you push a button and

A proposed increase in Glen-wood city utility rates did not cause much concern for city resi-dents last week when just six peo-ple showed up for a public hear-ing on the matter.

The city commission con-ducted a special meeting last Thursday evening on the pro-posed rate increases to the city’s water and sewer rates and just three city residents showed up, along with three city offi cials from Long Beach.

The rate increases were rec-ommended after the city hired Carl Brown Consulting, LLC to do a thorough rate analysis. Brown presented his fi ndings to the commissioners in March, and city staff used his analysis to de-termine the rate structure based on improvement plans that need to be addressed in the next 10 years.

the record books.”She said the fi rst concern will be that bait will be hard to

come by, especially the lake shiners.“For the shinners to start running the water temp needs to be

around 50 degrees,” she said. “With the late ice, I don’t for see anyone having any. We are hoping to get in some Golden Shin-ners later in the week.”

As for leeches, it’s the same thing. “If we do get any, they will run small, because most of our leeches are from up north, and since the ice is still on most of the ponds up there, no one has even been able to get traps out,” she added.

Will walleyes bite?So, what is the outlook for the opening weekend of the Min-

nesota fi shing season?The walleye bite is going to be tricky and we’ll have to see if

the walleyes have spawned yet. “There are two different theories for when walleyes spawn–

the water temperature or the hours of day light, Koep said. “Until the ice comes off, no one will know that answer and it will be interesting to see what the outcome will be.”

Koep said anglers should look for moving water, which is a key to fi nding spawning grounds, and she advised looking for rocks or gravel piles in the shallows.

“It’s defi nitely going to be a shallow bite this year,” Koep said, and she advised fi shing on the north or east sides of lakes be-cause there is more sun hitting those ar-eas throughout the day and the water temperatures will be warmer there.

“I feel the bite is going to be slow and the walleyes fi n-icky, so use smaller jigs, 1/16-ounce to 1/8-ounce, tipped with a fathead,” she said. “It’s hard to predict which lake to fi sh, as it’s still a guessing game as to what lakes will be open.”

Thompson agreed, stating walleye anglers will “have to think out of the box and try some different techniques this year.”

“I think walleyes will be shallow and probably looking for forage fi sh, especially their favorite food at this time of the year–lake shiners,” Thompson said. “Trolling with shallow Rapalas might be a great option or even just casting fl oating Raps out with a slow retrieve. Lighted bobbers might be the trick as well,” he added.

Koeps, at the intersection of Highways 29 and 55 in north Glenwood, features live bait, tackle and sporting goods, gas, a full deli and convenience store. Koep’s hours for opening week-end will be Friday from 5:30 a.m to 11:30 p.m. and Saturday from 4:30 a.m to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“In the mornings, we will have your coffee and breakfast ready!” Koep said last week. “Remember to get your fi shing li-cense early to avoid long lines on Friday night! Also, remember CP&R–Catch, Photograph, and Release,” she said.

Koep said anglers should especially practice CP&R with larger walleyes because they may have eggs in them and are still spawning.

“I know that normally this is the ‘guys’ weekend, but don’t forget to bring a kid with you and remember, it’s also Take-A-Mom fi shing weekend, so Mom’s can fi sh with out a license on Saturday and Sunday! Good luck!”

FishOn Bait and Sport on Franklin Ave. S. in downtown Glenwood features live bait, tackle and sporting goods and an-glers can purchase licenses there. The business will be open all week up to the opener as well as open until 1 a.m. on Friday night into Saturday morning, and again opening back up at 5 a.m. Sat-urday morning. “That’s our tradition and the crazy weather isn’t going to change us,” Kyle said with a smile.

The Klick Foundation hosted a group of Minnewaska Area Schools scholarship applicants as well as a group of college interns last week at Steve Klick’s home on his hunting land in rural Glenwood. From left are: Scott Formo of the Klick Foundation, Teresa Jergenson (WASP), students Jared Dyreson (MAHS), Tyler Vanderby (MAHS), Jamie Smith (MAHS), Riley Terhaar (MAHS), interns Kasahum Weld-eys (University of Minnesota, College of Science & Engineering), Cody Gustafson (University of Minne-sota, Duluth), Dipendra Mahaseth (Minnesota State University, Mankato), Xiaoming Fan (St. Thomas), and Steve Klick.

The Klick Foundation recently brought a number of interns from Minnesota colleges and univer-sities to visit Glenwood to show them what the community has to offer.

The students were given a tour of the area, visited WASP, Inc. in Glenwood and Massman Automa-tion Designs, LLC of Lowry and were treated to lunch at Lakeside.

The idea, according to Steve Klick, who, with his family, estab-lished the Klick Foundation, is to “keep our young talent in our area and to recruit others to come here.”

He said entrepreneurship is very important and he tries to show students that businesses like WASP or Massman can be started and be successful in rural Minnesota.

“We want to show you the ru-ral lifestyle and show you the dif-ference out here, explain who we are and what this community has to offer and entice you to come here,” Klick told the students who gathered fi rst at his home in rural Glenwood.

The educational portion of the Klick Foundation was started in 2008. In that time, 11 students have received scholarships or in-ternships. The total given out in that period is $147,000, he ex-plained. “We currently have fi ve students under scholarship and

will add between one and three more this year, plus between three and fi ve students under the intern-ship program,” Klick explained. The internships will be in the ar-eas of engineering and computer science. At the school of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota, the Foundation has funding for fi ve perpetual scholar-ships of which three are currently being used.

“The emphasis for our student recipients are the communities of Minnewaska, Sauk Centre and Long Prairie,” he explined.

About the Klick FoundationThe Klick Foundation Schol-

arship was the idea of Brady Klick, who graduated from Minnewaska High School in 1996 and attended the U of M Institute of Technology under the Cyrus Scholarship. He was very grateful to Mr. Richard Hanschen for starting and fund-ing the Cyrus Scholarship and for the mentoring of the Cyrus Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors. Brady felt the best way the Klick family could say “thank you” was in providing the same opportunity that he had been giv-en. Therefore, on Aug. 8, 2008, the Klick Foundation established The Klick Foundation Scholarship in the Institute of Technology.

The endowment was created because of the high regard for the University of Minnesota as an im-portant institution in the state and its economy; because several fam-ily members obtained their educa-tions at the University of Minneso-ta; and because assisting students from central Minnesota to attend the University of Minnesota Insti-tute of Technology may further the Klick Foundation’s objective of growing companies and high-pay-ing jobs in central Minnesota.

The Klick Foundation seeks to award students who embrace their mission statement:

“Fostering and supporting minds that can conceive and be-lieve a vision so that it can be achieved; a desire and the proper amount of faith to make possible things that are not available in to-day’s world; a sense of determina-tion and persistence that will not allow one to quit short of the goal; an appreciation of the specialized knowledge that some people pos-sess; the leadership ability to blend together individuals into a cohe-sive team; and a boldness to climb the ladder of success while helping others get what they need and giv-ing back to society what it needs for the proper advancement of ev-eryone.”

Klick Foundation is working to keep, attract talent to Glenwood area

Motorists on Highway 29 in Starbuck will experience shoulder closures and occasional lane clo-sures starting Monday, May 6, as crews complete work on the new bridge over Outlet Creek.

Crews will fi nish the multi-use

trail, lighting, concrete curb and gutter. They also will add an addi-tional layer of asphalt and paint the new bridge.

Work is scheduled to last about one month, weather permitting.

The new bridge was construct-

ed in the fall of 2012. It improves safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.

instantly have someone in the room to assist you.“I love the fact that I can run in and push a button and

it’s ready to go—that’s wonderful,” said Pasche.The system gives GRHS physicians and nurses im-

mediate access to a certifi ed ER nurse and ER physician, as well as access to specialists on call at the Avera facili-ty. Staff also have immediate access to a language trans-lator—something Pasche said they have used at GRHS since the system went live in February 2012.

Each room with eCare access is rigged with a large, high-defi nition fl at screen monitor, a video camera and a high-tech microphone. Micki Lundin, eCare account manager with Avera, was quick to point out that nothing is record-ed with the eCare sys-tem setup. The camera allows staff in Sioux Falls to zoom in manu-ally or to present loca-tions with the touch of a button. “It’s as close as you can get without the physician actual-ly being there,” said Lundin. “We can read the charts on the walls or the blood pressure machine as well as if we were there in the room.”

Before going live with an eCare system, Lundin said Avera does its homework on the hospital. Staff in Sioux Falls have a book with photos of all the hospi-tal staff along with their contact information and community emergency phone numbers. They know all the equipment in the hospital, all the medications on hand, and where everything is located—right down to if a physician or nurse unfamil-iar with the ER is treating a patient and needs a cotton swab, Avera staff can say, “Turn to your left, they’re in the third drawer down.”

Pasche called eEmergency a “nice backup for nurses,” especially in the middle of the night or when an extra pair of hands is needed for charting and documentation while the ER nurse is busy with hands-on patient care.

Lundin pointed out another benefi t. “Let’s say it’s 2 a.m. and it will take a physician 15 minutes to get there—we can start patient care immediately.” She explained that when the on-call physician arrives on location, he or she would then take over, with the Avera physician assisting if needed. And sometimes, Lundin said, it’s just good to know someone is there when situations get tense, like those in an ER room can be. “We’re a calming voice in the background in the midst of chaos,” she said.

ePharmacyPharmacist Jenna Bryce said ePharmacy has been a

great addition to GRHS, cutting down on her workload of “catching up” from the night shift or weekend shifts workload and allowing her to spend more time reviewing patient medications. “ePharmacy has been a great benefi t for me,” she said. “ I am the only pharmacist at the hospi-tal so any extra help I can get is great.”

Bryce said the ePharmacy system is very easy to use. “They [Avera pharmacists] connect to our computer sys-tem remotely and enter and review medication orders. They work closely with the [GRHS] nursing staff for clar-ifi cations, recommendations and questions,” she said. The system is available to GRHS nurses any time if they have

questions about drug preparation, stability, interactions or dosing.

Since going live, the ePharmacy system has been used every day. “We contract with them [Avera] to review medications during the evening and night shifts and on the weekends,” said Bryce. “It’s a great option for rural health-care facilities who don’t have access to a pharmacist 24 hours a day.”

In addition to the day-to-day questions and medication review, ePharmacy has also helped in creating pol-icies and procedures for safe medication use. “[Avera staff] are al-ways looking for ways to help improve the way medications are used at the facilities they work with,” said Bryce.

Through Avera’s eCare systems, GRHS also has access to free education programs of-

fered once a month. The classes cover a wide variety of topics and qualify for CEU (continuing education) credits, meaning hospital staff don’t have to travel to take their re-quired amount of credits. It’s a service Pasche said GRHS has defi nitely taken advantage of.

Avera’s perspectiveOn the Avera side of the system, Lundin said she’s

enjoyed getting to know staff in each of Avera’s partner hospitals, working alongside them and building relation-ships. “Being able to help is hugely rewarding,” she said.

Mary Adams, registered nurse and eCare manager, eEmergency, agreed. “It’s awesome—I truly love my job,” she said.

Partnering with rural hospitals through eCare allows Avera and those partner hospitals to work together to pro-vide something invaluable, according to Lundin. “Good patient care is the end result for everybody,” she said.

With the push of a button, GRHS emergency room nurse man-ager Jeanette Pasche is connected with the Avera Health eCare hub in Sioux Falls, S.D.

GRHS technology ...from page 1AAnnual audit report shows city in good fi nancial position

By Tim DouglassPublisher

The fi nancial status of the city of Glenwood is in good shape, according the to annual fi nancial audit conducted by Abdo Eick and Mayers, LLP.

“It was a pretty good year [for the city],” said Kyle Meyers, who gave the audit report to the city commission at last Wednesday’s work session at city hall. “The last few years were iffy with the reductions in LGA (Local Government Aid), but it looks like cities will see an in-crease in LGA in the coming years.”

“Overall, the city is in good fi nancial shape with low debt, good fund balances and the enterprise funds have good cash-fl ow balances,” Meyers told the commission after quickly explaining the 100-page fi nancial report done after the audit.

When comparing the city of Glenwood to other cities of the same class and similar population, Glenwood stacks up very well, it was stated.

The analysis shows that in debt to assets–total liabil-ities to total assets– the city is at 10 percent. Most cities in Glenwood’s peer group are at an average of 33 percent debt-to-asset ratio. The ratio indicates that just 10 per-cent of the city’s assets are fi nanced with outstanding debt. The city’s total debt decreased by $99,868, or 6.5 percent, during the fi scal year because it retired that amount in long-term debt.

The city’s low debt obligations also appear in the com-parison of debt per capita, which is the bonded debt com-pared to the population of the city. In that comparison, Glenwood has a debt of $584 per capita while cities in its peer group are signifi cantly higher at $2,826 per capita.

The city is also lower than the peer group when it comes to taxes per capita. The city is at $359 per citizen where cities in its peer group are at an average of $500 per citizen.

In expenditure comparison, the city spends more than most cities in its peer group on the city’s population. For instance, in 2012 the city spent $682 per citizen in Glen-wood, while cities in the peer group spent about $640 per citizen.

As of the close of the current fi scal year, the city’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund bal-ances of $3,358,028, an increase of $317,706 in compari-son to the prior year. The majority of the increase, accord-ing to the report, was due to overall revenues exceeding expenditures in the general fund of $541,706. A transfer of a portion of that increase ($413,597) was made to the capital improvement fund for future projects.

Meyers also commended the city staff for reducing the number of adjustments needed to do the audit. Commis-sioner Sherri Kazda said “thank you to Brenda [Sargent] for all of her hard work. “She really does do a great job.” Sargent is the city’s fi nancial offi cer.

In other business, the commission:• Approved a gambling permit for Pope County Farm-

ers Bureau to conduct a raffl e at the Pope County Fair on Aug. 11.

•Declared the week of May 13 as “Community Clean Up Day” and approved a payment of $150 toward the an-nual Clean Up Day marketing expenses.

•Approved spending $150 toward the cost of a porta-ble restroom to be located near the city’s volleyball courts at Barsness Park. The request came from a volleyball league that uses the facility regularly during the summer months.

Every now and then there is a story that really gets my blood boiling. The most recent boiler was a story in the StarTribune last week about the Abrams tank, a 70-ton monster that has been the backbone of the Army’s tank corps for several decades.

Over the past two years Congress has spent about a half billion dollars to update the tank. And now it wants to spend anoth-er $436 million to continue that effort.

“The one area where we are supposed to spend taxpayer money is in defense of the country,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, a Ohio Republican Congressman in whose district the Abrams tank is made. Jordan is also known on Capital Hill as a defi cit hawk. And Ohio Democratic Sen. Sharrod Brown agrees with Jordan in a show of bipartisan-ship.

So what’s wrong with this? Shouldn’t I be celebrating bipartisanship?

The only problem is that the Army doesn’t want an updated Abrams tank.

“If we had our choice we would use that money in a different way,” said Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army’s chief of staff.

Jordan supported the sequester, the de-cision to cut $42 billion from the Pentagon

budget this year and every year into the future. And he has been pretty vocal about federal budget defi cits.

Jordan says he is merely representing his district and his voters. Apparently it hasn’t occurred to him that this is exactly how we got in the budget mess in the fi rst place, folks putting their districts ahead of our nation.

Is it any wonder the federal budget is a mess?

For the past month I have been com-muting to Wadena to work on the Wadena Pioneer Journal, which had a sudden tem-porary staff opening it needed to fi ll imme-diately.

What has been interesting is the 63-

mile commute.Heading north to Alexandria in the

morning there is a lot of traffi c both ways as people head to jobs in Glenwood and Alexandria. And as I head north up High-way 29 from Alexandria to Wadena there is a steady stream of southbound traffi c all the way up to Miltona. If I am following a slow vehicle there is virtually no chance to pass until Miltona, the southbound line is that solid.

Some people are heading north on Highway 29. Some are only going to Car-los where there are a couple of decent sized fi rms. But I actually followed a couple of vehicles all the way from Alex to Wadena.

There aren’t any real shortcuts. The shortest route is through Alexandria and Parkers Prairie and slowing down for stop-lights and lower speeds in those communi-ties can make the 63-mile trip take about one hour and 20 minutes on the average.

Highway 29 from Alex to Highway 210 north of Parkers is a real mess. It is like Highway 29 was between Glenwood and Alex before last year’s resurfacing. One has to be pretty alert north of Parkers, there are some potholes you could easily bury

about a third of a basketball in. That couldraise real havoc with a tire, rim or whole front end. So a person has to remain alert.From 210 north, Highway 29 has been re-surfaced all the way to Wadena.

It has been interesting how many Pope County folks I have run into in Wadena.

I looked out of my offi ce window a week ago and Neil Haynes was washing windows across the street. A few days lat-er Wally Kath carried something into the NAPA store across the street. Last weekI edited an obituary for a person whose service was conducted by the Rev. Chuck Horsager, who used to be the Baptist min-ister here in Glenwood. Then last Wednes-day I was talking with Sheriff Mike Carr, and he was telling me that one of his depu-ties was Luke Manderschied. And I’m sure there will be more.

The trips to Wadena should be donein a few weeks. The commute and fi nding how far afi eld our local folks wander intheir work has been an interesting educa-tion!

And here’s the rest of the story...

Publisher’sPERSPECTIVE

Tim J. DouglassPublisher

From Jeannie Pederson,EC/THRIVE Initiative coordinator

The Pope County EC/THRIVE Initiative is a proud supporter of MinneMinds, a statewide coalition of foundations, nonprofi t organizations and businesses, working to ensure all children have the opportunity to ac-cess quality early learning programs.

Minnesota legislators have made a signifi cant commitment to investing in a proven prekindergarten schol-arship model that will begin to put Minnesota on a path to ensuring all children enter school prepared to suc-ceed. We are thankful for this effort and ask our legislators who represent Pope County to ensure this critical in-vestment is made this year.

Access to quality early learn-ing programs is proven to improve school readiness outcomes for all kids. When kids enter school ready to succeed, they reap the benefi ts for the rest of their lives and so does our community and state. Researchers and economists agree that when it comes to return on investment, early childhood education gives taxpayers the biggest bang for their buck. The Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank estimates that every $1 invested to-day in early childhood education saves taxpayers $16 in the future.

On behalf of our youngest cit-izens and their families, the Pope County EC/THRIVE Initiative is dedicated to advocating for contin-ued expansion of public funding to increase the number of children who are fully ready for kindergarten by building an exceptional early learn-ing system that benefi ts all children.

From Luther Tollefson,Maryland

In a recent column my brother Dave wrote about conversations he’d had with a rancher in Rapid City, S.D., and referred to Don Konechne having something in common with me having married a gal from Rapid City, but did not settle there, adding “that’s another story.” Well, here’s the “rest of the story.”

For about six years in the 1960s I worked for GMAC, mostly in South Dakota, handling collections on de-linquent accounts sold by General Motors dealers. During that time I was moved from Watertown to Hu-ron and fi nally to Mobridge, where I realized I’d rather be in a different environment, preferably farther west and in the mountains. GMAC would not transfer me out of the Chicago region so I resigned and accepted an invitation from our sister, Grace, to live with her and her husband, an Air

Force navigator, in Tacoma, Wash., while looking for new employment in that area. A friend in Mobridge had casually told me before I left that she had a relative living in the Seat-tle area who was an Army nurse, but that’s getting a bit ahead of the story.

The job I began in the Seattle/Tacoma area was with Travelers In-surance Co. While expanding a circle of new friends in that area I also kept in touch with a cousin from Star-buck, Larry Kirkwold, who worked for Weyerhauser at their headquarters near Seattle. His wife, Arlene, told me about a young lady who sang in the church choir with Larry, whom she knew little about other than she had gone to St. Olaf College, and would I like to get her telephone number? Of course I was a bit dubi-ous about meeting an “Ole” since I was a “Cobber,” but I called her and that’s when the coincidences began to unfold. I don’t think Larry or Arlene had told Marilee that they had given me her number so when I called she thought I was someone trying to sell her Lutheran Brotherhood insurance. After getting over that hurdle, when she heard I’d recently lived in Mo-bridge, S.D., she said that’s where her mother was raised, and it turned out I’d known some of her relatives. Fur-thermore, her mother’s father, Lenny Larson and his son Marvin, owned Larson Furniture in Glenwood! My parents were good friends with Len-ny.

Well, we got married in 1971 in Rapid City and continued to live in the Tacoma area where I traveled south to my job in Chehalis, Wash. and she worked at Madigan Army Hospital near Ft. Lewis, as a pediatric nurse. When it came time for orders to a new assignment it was to Tripler Army Hospital, Honolulu, a location that was so intriguing that together we decided a tour there was incentive enough for me to leave my job and follow her for what we knew would more than likely turn into a 20-year career in the Army. Our fi rst daugh-ter was born in Tacoma, the second in Honolulu. I resumed my claims career with Travelers in Honolulu. After 3.5 years there we relocated to El Paso, Texas for three years, then in 1980 to Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. where she retired in 1985 after 23 years as an Army nurse, and we stayed in the area as I had a good job with USAA, the girls did not want to leave their schools, and Marilee tran-sitioned to a job at Children’s Hos-pital. We’ve been in the Washington area for 33 years, all in Maryland, outside the infamous Washington Beltway.

So that’s my answer to Don Konechne as to why we did not set-tle in Rapid City, but we do return annually to visit Marilee’s brother and family. We love the Black Hills! When there this summer I certainly

will contact Don so we can share our stories in person.

From the Blair Family,Glenwood

Our family wanted to take this time and opportunity to personally thank the entire community of Glen-wood and the forces that protect us all. We wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for each and every one of you. The hometown crew from the Glenwood Fire Department, the Glacial Ridge Ambulance and local law enforcement sure showed love, caring, and dedication to us and the jobs that they needed to get done. This is a shout out to the great team-work and skill that was put to test the night of our accident because without the professionalism and expertise of every member the night could have had a very different outcome. Ev-ery individual who responded that Sunday night holds a special place in our family’s heart because it truly takes a very special and kind-hearted person to do the job they do! It’s not only their job, and they proved that by taking on their own individual roles and making it their obligation to take care of the scene and all pa-tients in need of help. We thank you all million times over and over again and honestly won’t be able to say it enough or repay any of you to the ex-tent that needs to be given but know that all of you are seen as heroes in our eyes now. We give the upmost respect and credit to each and every member and force that responded to our accident and that came in contact with our scene or with us as patients. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The small-town community of Glenwood and the entire Pope County population has been incredible since day one. They say “word travels fast in a small town” and this is so true. It wasn’t long after our accident that we had prayer chains, thoughts, and sup-port fl ying in the Blair direction. We feel so blessed to come from an area that pulls together and wants the best for all the families in our town. The power of prayer from everyone and the love/support we have received truly proves that coming from a small hometown is the best. We know the support, thoughts, prayers, love, and cheering certainly made the journey a little bit easier. We have so many visits to get done and a lot of person-al thanks to be sent out to everyone but until we are able to see some of you remember that our BIGGEST “thanks” head in all of your direc-tions. All four of us are so thankful and we mean it with our whole hearts.

We love you ALL and thank you immensely.

Be Positive. Stay Positive.

Well, it’s the morning of May 6 and again discussion of the ice-out date on Lake Minnewaska continues to dominate discussion around the community.

The way it looks now, we will tie or break the latest recorded ice-out date, unless the ice miraculously disap-pears before 11:59 tonight.

This record-breaking spring (or winter) comes on the heels of a record-breaking spring last year when we broke the 107-year record for earliest ice-out date on Lake Min-newaska–March 21.

That means in back-to-back years, we’ve broken records, one for the earliest ice-out date and one for the latest ice-out date.

Who knows what that means, except that the past two years have certainly not been traditional years for central Minnesota.

The fi rst part of this week is forecast to be sunny with temperatures in the high 60s and 70s, so we are optimistic that Lake Minnewaska and other area lakes will be ice free at least a few days before the walleye and northern pike season begins in Minnesota on Saturday.

Either way will make for a challenging opener in this area.

Below, once again, are the ice-out dates for Lake Min-newaska since records began in 1906. Let’s all hope we will once again see open water within a few days.

Ice-out discussion feelslike a ‘broken record’ Proud supporter of

early learning for kids Blair family thanks entire community...

5AMonday, May 6, 2013

It’s too late now, but why didn’t I ask more questions? I’ll just have to imagine what my Mom hoped her life would be-come. I wonder if she wanted to travel, go to college or be a career woman? I know she hungered to open a little coffee shop where she could visit with friends over cof-fee and cookies. Mom became a wife and mother of the ‘50s. She baked breads and cookies and had a warm supper of roast, potatoes and vegetables on the table each evening for her family. Her life was so dif-ferent than the lives of many women today in our fast-tracking world of feminism and constant change.

Mom didn’t marry until she was al-most 30. A natural smiler and fun-loving gal, Mom said she was having too good a time to settle down in a marriage and have a family. But when she met Hank, the tall, dark and handsome Dutchman, evidently she changed her mind. She had to battle differences with her Mom Elizabeth about her intended’s different nationality and re-ligion. But Hank won over both gals; the couple married and raised two daughters.

Mom was a wife and mother as well as the unpaid jail matron when Dad was sheriff of Pope County in the 50’s and 60’s. She cooked three meals a day for her fam-ily and the prisoners, manned the two-way radio in the sheriff’s offi ce, and served cof-fee to the Courthouse Gang most days at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Coffee Time around the formica table in the jail’s kitchen usu-ally included Bean Eide, Hartvig Peterson, Eric and LaVanche Solvie, Herman Quist, and deputy Lynn Krook. Her daily coffee parties of weak percolated Lutheran coffee, chocolate chip cookies or chocolate cake was a favorite time of the day for Esther.

The 1950s was the era when some of us lucky folks got our fi rst TV, a black and white tiny screen that normally showed snow falling. At intermittent times we’d catch a glimpse of a show we were just dy-ing to see. Ike was in the White House; Lawrence Welk and the Lennon Sisters were Saturday viewing pleasure, and The Lone Ranger was Saturday morning enter-tainment for kids in their pajamas sprawled on the living room fl oor.

Being a wife and mother of the Fab-ulous Fifties and Sixties involved a very defi ned role for women. Younger women have little, if any, idea of how few options were available to 1950s women. Some gals became teachers and nurses with a short training time at Normal School or in hos-pitals. Others became secretaries, beauty parlor operators, church parish workers or telephone operators who pulled plugs on that huge board of wires. Few women as-pired to careers in business; women were expected to become wives and mothers. Those few women who either were never asked to be married or those who chose to not marry were labeled spinsters, maiden ladies or that terrible term, Old Maids.

Some of you might have enjoyed a book of photographs titled MOTHERS, a humorous peek at women before fem-inism. Minneapolis photographer Judy Olausen and her muse/mother, Vivian,

created this popular book which came out about ten years ago. The book hit the na-tional limelight: the two women appeared on “Oprah!”, NPR’s “All Things Consid-ered,” “Good Morning America” and nu-merous magazines including People, En-tertainment Week and Harper’s.

Judy dressed her mom in hilarious cos-tumes picturing the 70+ year old wife as a goddess of domestic drudgery. Vivian is shown in her yellow suburban ranch house with bird bath and overfl owing window boxes of pink petunias. It was an age of cof-feepot clocks, salt and pepper collections and bone china cups and saucers. Vivian was given 50s props as “Domestic Hoof-er” complete with apron, feather duster and canister vacuum. She’s photographed as the “Doormat” always welcoming every unexpected guest into her humble home; “Good Wife” where Vivian, in pink negli-gee and pearls, awaits her husband coming home from work with his slippers, newspa-per, martini and his favorite Lucky Strikes.

“Out to Dry” photographs Vivian pinned up on the clothes line among sheets, aprons, and tablecloths. “Mother as Cof-fee Table” has Vivian on all fours with a kidney-shaped glass coffee table on her back, kneeling in her avocado green living room with its gold shag carpet. “Keeper of the Family Secrets” has Vivian in mon-key suits, reminding us of the tiny statue la-beled “See no evil; Speak no evil; Hear no evil”...what a throwback to my childhood! Birth control was not easily available at that time so Judy’s photograph “Return to Sender” has Vivian in pink housedress and apron, horrifi ed to see a wicker buggy ap-pear in her living room with a stork hold-ing a tiny baby in his beak. A frightening prospect, I’m sure, if the house is already fi lled with kids.

MOTHERS is a quirky history book for younger women who might not real-ize that women of the Fifties couldn’t get a credit card or a checking account. In past eras, many women’s lives were endless rounds of vacuuming, dusting, cooking, washing ironing, and domestic servitude. However, I do believe that my Mom Es-ther and many other moms were happy with their lives at home with their family. Many women enjoyed the time they had to enjoy keeping a lovely home, socialize with friends at coffee parties in the after-noons, make breakfast and a hot supper for the family. The Fifties was such a different era than today. I wish I’d asked my Mom more questions about her life growing up and her hopes as wife and mother. I know this kid didn’t give Mom enough credit for all her hard work, her talents and her abun-dant love and support.

Collaborative CORNER

ON THE MOVE

By Rep. Paul AndersonWe are in the fi nal two weeks of session,

and much work remains to be fi nished. The spending bills that will determine how our state operates during the next two years are all in conference committees, and it’s not ex-pected we will see any of them back before the end of this week. Despite the fact that both chambers are under DFL control, sig-nifi cant differences remain to be worked out, especially with regard to the tax bill. The House plan calls for raising $2.6 billion in new revenue, including new 4th and 5th tier income tax rates that would give Minnesota the second highest tax rates in the country. The Senate’s tax plan raises less money, $1.9 billion, but would change the sales tax to in-clude clothing and some other services, in-cluding labor on repairs.

To complicate matters, Gov. Dayton has said he doesn’t support the tax on clothing. And he is not in favor of raising the income tax to pay back the school shift. In addition, some of the new taxes proposed by the Leg-islature would raise taxes on more residents than just the wealthiest Minnesotans, such as the Senate income tax or the House plan to raise taxes on tobacco and alcohol. The increase on beer, for example, would be 600 percent, going from $4 per barrel to $27.

I am concerned that we will hear other bills yet as we head down the stretch, legisla-tion that is controversial but is being pushed by certain groups. On the agenda early in the week is a bill that addresses bullying and attempts to make state law in an attempt to control the problem. It will also raise costs, estimated around $26 million per year for our school districts.

I think we’ll also hear a bill that would provide for the unionization of day care pro-

viders and those who serve as personal care attendants (PCA’s). I’ve said many times that not one provider I’ve visited with has been in favor of the plan. Well, that’s not true anymore. One who is in favor of unioniza-tion did visit my offi ce recently. She didn’t change my mind, however, as I’m still ada-mantly opposed to the idea.

We will probably also hear a bill to le-galize same-sex marriage in the fi nal days of session. The DFL had said they wouldn’t bring it up until the budget had been taken care of, but the bill was added over the week-end to the schedule of the Ways and Means Committee. That’s the last stop for bills before being heard on the House fl oor, and HF 1054, Legalizing Gay Marriage, will be debated in that committee Monday evening, May 6. This is going to be a contentious is-sue, and if the bill gets a date on the House calendar, the DFL probably has enough votes to ensure its passage. Pressure has been ramping up in recent days, with ads promot-ing gay marriage on television and Gov. Day-ton even visiting the DFL caucus. It’s my hope that enough rural Democrats will break rank and join Republicans in opposition to the bill. Only time will tell.

Rep. Anderson can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone at 651-296-4317.

Work remains as end of session nearsNOTES from the CAPITOL

Paul Anderson State House Representative District 12B

Years ago, my mom invited me to join her Study Club trip to the Old Log Th eater and I happi-ly accepted. Th ough we arrived early that day to catch the bus, it wasn’t early enough to sit in the front seats which are usu-ally a must for us. So, we moved to the middle of the bus and took Dramamine to prevent motion sickness. It was a good thing for the bus ride but not so much for watching a play in a dark theater. Aft er nudging each other several times during the fi rst acts, fi nally intermis-sion came. Mom went out fi rst, walked up the aisle to wait for me and looked back to see me in a dilemma. As I got up from my seat and started walking in front of other theatergoers in the row, my purse zipper caught on a gentleman’s sweater and as I walked sideways about 5 feet, I was literally pulled back a bit as he tugged on the yarn that was strewn out from his sweater to my purse. Of course, I was very embarrassed and very sorry. He graciously chuckled, said the sweater was old and accepted my apology. As I gathered my composure and looked back at my mom, I saw her cupping her hands over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. When I reached her, we laughed together and have laughed ever since when we think back to that day. I love my mom. She loves deeply and uncondi-tionally as a mother, wife, and friend and is lovingly known as Grammy Phyllis. She is a wonderful mother, role model, cheerleader for her family, gardener, hand-written letter writer, nurse and Hospice volunteer. I wish for all the mothers, grandmothers, daugh-ters, sisters, aunts, nieces and special moth-ers who know children they call their own or may have lost, moments fi lled with sweet and fun-fi lled memories. Th ank you to my children for the love they share with me and best wishes to my mother-in-law, Carolyn, too! Happy Mother’s Day!

When I was in kindergarten, my moth-er was the Head Start nurse in our county. Both my sisters were in Head Start, too. So, as I was attending a meeting last week for the Head Start Advisory Council, I thought back to the important work she had done that carries on to this day.

Did you know that during the 2011/2012 school year, 89 percent of the 3

and 4-year-old children in Head Start were ready for the next school year? Th e work of Head Start and all early childhood learning experiences are critical as the archi-tecture of a child’s brain is developing. Parents, teachers, school admin-

istrators, our community and legislators have 1,825 days to impact the life of a child from birth to 5 years. It’s an awesome re-sponsibility and one that is met head on by those serving this population in Pope County.

Th e Federal Reserve states that there is a $16 return on every $1 invested in early childhood programming. Economists and business leaders agree that investing in education is essential for job and business growth. Starting early with quality birth to prekindergarten learning opportunities is essential. Ensuring early childhood educa-tion for all children – regardless of family income or geographic location – is the only way Minnesota can guarantee future eco-nomic growth.

Th is is just one of the many reasons that MinneMinds, a statewide coalition of more than 60 education, philanthropic, nonprofi t and business organizations, is advocating for a state investment to support a proven quality early childhood care and learning scholarship model. We can all be a voice for our children!

Th e Touch the Truck event was great! Th anks to all who entered the Traveling Tree house to visit and pick out a free book. When a child refers to the Mobile Learning Center as “their bus” or remembers their past experiences on the bus, we are thrilled that we are adding to their memories and building skills at the same time. Th anks to the ECFE Parent Advisory Board, Cathy Kinney and Marcia Wold of Community Ed for planning the event and partnering with the Pope County EC/THRIVE Initiative!

Check out the Collaborative Corner on Th ursdays at 9 a.m. on KMGK 107.1 to hear a variety of guests working to make a diff er-ence in our community.

If you have a story or experience that makes Pope County great, please share it via email at [email protected] or call 634-3909. So until the wheels on the bus come round again, take care!

Utility rates ...from page 1Afor an increase in both water and sewer rates for residential and commercial cus-tomers in the city so that the utilities could be viable and capable of handling improve-ments to infrastructure that in many cases is more than 70 years old.

City Administrator Dave Iverson stated that the city engaged the services of Carl Brown Consulting to get an independent rate analysis that would help the city “set a rate structure that will be adequate for the city for years to come.”

The city’s sewer and water funds are “enterprise funds,” Iverson explained, which means the rates, or revenue coming to the city, needs to adequately fund the utility operations or expenses.

“We are facing some major fi nancial upgrades to the water and sewer [utilities] in the near future, and we needed to do a rate analysis with that in mind,” he said at the hearing. He added that it had been years since any kind of analysis has been done, stating that the city wanted to get one done by an expert in the fi eld that was inde-pendent of the city and would structure the rates on needs as well as on fairness.

Iverson said that Carl Brown was that expert, and his company is well known for developing rate analysis software and for determining rates based on the city’s cur-rent and future needs as well as fairness to all city residents and commercial accounts.

The proposed city rates increases would be based on Brown’s methodology.

“Nobody wants rates to increase, but nobody wants their water shut off for eight to 10 hours while we repair lines,” Iverson said. “We have bandaids on bandaids in certain parts of town, and we need upgrades to our physical plants as well.”

Mayor Bill Ogdahl said the city could decide on rates based on “guess and by gol-ly” and raise rates that way, “or we could have an independent professional come in and give us rates that are appropriate for our needs.”

Ogdahl said the city had just had a good audit and its philosophy is to pay as it goes, rather than getting into a situation where the city has to fl oat a large bond to pay for major repairs in an emergency situation.

“This proposal is to raise rates enough to take care of our future needs” (at least for the next 10 years), he said.

Iverson agreed, stating that the im-provements have to be planned and statedthat most of the upcoming improvementshave to do with mechanical needs and pipesthat simply “wear out over time.”

He stated that Brown had provided anextensive report for the city that is nearly100 pages long and is available for any-one to review. It does list all the capital improvement projects for the future, butdoesn’t take into account any emergency repairs.

Ogdahl explained that the city commis-sion will have to make the decision aboutraising the rates in “one pop or sneaking up on it”and raising rates incrementally over afew years.

“I’m in favor of taking the pop now,”he said.

The public hearing on the matter lastedabout 40 minutes and the commission didnot take any action on the proposed rates atthe special meeting. That decision will be made at a regular meeting, likely in May, itwas stated.What are the proposed rate increases?

For water, the current base of $10 per user may be raised signifi cantly to $19.33and the usage rate may increase from $2.50 per thousand gallons to $3.51 per thousand gallons.

The usage sewer rates may also in-crease from $1.50 per thousand gallons to$3.60 per thousand gallons, but the base feewould decrease from $25 per user to $18.64 per user.

The increases for a small user would bevery little, amounting to about $54 for theentire year, or about $4.50 per month.

BackgroundCity staff has been encouraging the

commission to get a rate analysis done for a number of years. Setting viable sewer and water rates for residential and commercialcustomers that is based on methodologyand comparison data has been a priority for city staff. The Carl Brown Consulting fi rm provided that methodology, it was stated.Brown has been assisting community lead-ers all over the U.S. with rate setting, anal-ysis, asset management, capital improve-ment planning and risk-based return on investment decision making. He has been doing rate studies and applying his method-ology to those studies for the past 19 years.

From Victori-an pocket melons to Thomas Jefferson’s prized scented gerani-ums, fragrances have been a part of human culture for a very long time. Flowers have been shown to have positive effects on hu-man emotions, and recent research has shown that fragrant fl owers are a “positive emotion inducer.” This should come as no surprise to most gardeners. Breeding improvements in fl owers have rarely included fragrance character-istics, which were considered to have a negative effect on vase life. Recent studies on fragrance suggest that this might not be the case, and researchers at David Austin Roses are making progress in improving the vase life of fragrant roses. As an avid gardener, fragrant plants are a signifi cant addition to my landscape. Sitting on the porch when the lilacs are in bloom is a sensory gift. Fortunately, there are quite a few plants that offer the reward of fra-grance. Fragrance provides a vital service for the plant. A plant’s distinct aroma attracts pollinators, thereby facilitating cross-pol-lination and the continuation of the spe-cies. For example, plants pollinated by moths produce optimum fragrance in the evening as moths are nocturnal. Thus ni-cotiana alata (fl owering tobacco) is more fragrant at night, when its moth pollina-tors are out and about. Plants pollinated by bees produce optimum fragrance during the day as bees are diurnal. Thus antirrhi-num majus (snapdragon) is more fragrant during the day, when its bee pollinators are likely to be active. Different but specifi c fragrances also help to ensure that insects visit fl owers of a similar species, increas-ing the potential for successful cross-pol-lination. From a long distance, fl ower fragrances are more effective than visual signals in attracting a pollinator, especially to small or hidden fl owers. Flower fragrances tend to be at their highs when they have suffi cient nutrition. In addition, moderate to warm tempera-tures and high light tend to increase fra-grances. Time of day can also affect the strength of a fl ower’s scent. Therefore,

gathering fl owers at the appropriate time and season will maximize the fl ower’s vase fra-grance. For instance, roses should be picked at night when they are at their most fragrant, whereas jasmine fl ow-ers are harvested when

their fragrance is at its peak just before dawn. To extend your garden’s fragrance window, why not grow the nectar plants that pollinators on the night shift prefer? Good candidates for moths include: Night gladiolus: (gladiolus tristus) has creamy yellow blossoms that have an in-tense spicy fragrance at night. Pinks: (dianthus plumarius) The pale pink fl owers have a rich clove scent. Evening primrose: (oenothera) With sweetly-scented blossoms of soft white, pink and bright yellow that open in the evening. Moonfl owers: (ipomoea alba) This night-blooming relative of the morning glory perfumes the garden as its large fi ve to six inch white fl owers open at dusk. A quick growing climber with large heart-shaped leaves. Evening stock: (matthiola incana) Small pink or purplish fl owers are not showy, but emit an intoxicating fragrance at night. Grows to one foot with lance-shaped leaves. Four o’clocks: (mirabilis jalapa) Sweetly fragrant and colorful trum-pet-shaped fl owers, open in late afternoon releasing a jasmine-like perfume. Found in the gardens of Thomas Jefferson at Monti-cello, the bushy plants grow 24 inches tall and are an annual in our climate. Daylilies: there are many daylilies that bloom at night including moon frolic and toltec sundial. For more information about night blooming plants, visit www.coopext.colostate.edu/4dmg/Flowers/night.htm or www.weekendgardener.net/landscap-ing-ideas/moonlight-080708.htm. Until next time, happy gardening!

Other than the Case-IH plant in Ben-son, I don’t know of any major farm ma-chinery manufacturing plants in this part of Minnesota. This past winter there was word in the press that a German manufacturing compa-ny called Geringhoff was going to open a plant in an area east of St. Cloud. This is a 130-year-old European company, based in Ahlen, Germany. The company scouted more than 40 factories around the U.S. be-fore choosing the former Donlin building for their fi rst North American manufactur-ing center. The St. Cloud Area Develop-ment Corporation says that St. Cloud’s ac-cess to local suppliers of fabricated metal, plastics production, hydraulics and elec-tronics helped attract Geringhoff to the region. Corn farmers will know that Ger-inghoff is a company that specializes in corn heads for modern combines. There are several of them in Pope County; they can be made to fi t any brand of combine, and come in the paint colors to match the farmer’s favorite brand. According to the Geringhoff website, there are four dealers within about 50 miles of Pope County; Graceville, Montevideo Willmar and El-bow Lake. Two of these are IH dealers and one each of John Deere and Massey-Fer-guson. (Agco) In the last few years chopping corn heads have become popular. That is, in addition to stripping the cobs of corn off the stalks, they chop up the stalks so that the farmer does not have to run a separate operation to chop the stalks before fall till-age. The major brand combine chopping heads have one lawn-mower-like twin blade for each row that chops the stalks as they go through the snapping rollers of the corn head. This leaves the fi eld looking somewhat like you would see a dairy or beef farmer chop corn for cattle feed, ex-cept that the chopped debris just rests on the ground, ready to be partially turned un-der by the fall tillage machine. Geringhoff, however, has a unique way of chopping the stalks, husks and leaves as the corn cobs are stripped and run through the combine. They have a se-ries of small chopping discs about 5 inch-es in diameter on a separate shaft parallel with the snapping rolls. Those serrated discs, spaced about an inch apart, chop the debris into small pieces and they fall to the ground. On a recent trip to St. Cloud, I had a couple of hours free, so I went looking for the new plant. It is just south of Highway 23 and east of Highway 10, not far from Midwest Machinery’s John Deere dealer-ship. I went to the main doors, but found them locked. A ways away there was a

door propped open by a small rock (this was one of the fi rst very nice days in the area). It was pretty quiet in the offi ce area, but asked the fi rst guy I saw about getting a tour. Well, the plant is not in production yet; they are in the prepa-ration phase. Outside

the plant there were many different colors, row widths and sizes of Geringhoff heads, from 8 to 24 rows, all sitting unattached, with their snouts up in the air. The guy I talked to said they had all come from Ger-many, shipped in large commercial con-tainers on ocean-going freighters, then on semi-trucks to St. Cloud. They are planning to be in produc-tion this coming summer. The plant was an existing building, being converted to manufacturing the Geringhoff heads. The St. Cloud area was the winner in a rather high-stakes competition to land the 200 some well-paying jobs. A special ceremo-ny was held recently with the mayor of St. Cloud and other local dignitaries, besides the CEO of Geringhoff, whose main head-quarters are in Germany. One of the new inventions on display this past winter at the big indoor national farm shows was a prototype of a revolu-tionary corn head that does not have to follow the corn rows the way they were planted. It operates similar to modern self-propelled corn choppers that can har-vest any row width, any direction. To have a corn head operate the same way is in-teresting to those of us that operate corn heads on modern combines. In opening up fi elds of corn, inevita-bly certain areas will require that you go across some rows with the corn head con-trary to the way it was planted. As you might fi gure, the narrower the row width, the easier it is to go contrary to the planted direction and not knock down cornstalks and lose the cobs. I’ll certainly be interested in seeing one of those prototype all-direction corn heads. Modern corn heads with the chop-ping feature are very expensive, but they can be justifi ed by saving the separate chopping operation after harvest. Chop-ping corn heads take more power; they are more complex, the blades have to be sharpened or replaced eventually. The new revolutionary all-direction Geringhoff corn head can be seen in oper-ation on Youtube, if you know how to fi nd it. It is truly unique to watch, for we who have grown up following the rows! I’ll be watching for the grand opening next summer of the St. Cloud Geringhoff plant.

Before spring fi eldwork starts in ear-nest, growers of organic and other sensi-tive crops should consider signing up for the Driftwatch™ registry offered by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA). By registering with Driftwatch™, farmers identify the locations of their sen-sitive crops and pastures using the point and click features of Google Maps®. Commercial fertilizer and pesticide appli-cators can then check the database and take special care to avoid organic land and oth-

er sensitive crops/forages when they are applying c h e m i c a l s in the vicin-ity of these

crops. In Minnesota, growers may register grapes and other fruits, vegetables, Christ-mas trees, and certifi ed organic crops and pasture. The program is not intended for homeowners; participants must have at least 1/2 acre of a certifi ed organic or other qualifying crop in commercial production. “Driftwatch™ is a free and voluntary program,” said Meg Moynihan, adminis-trator of MDA’s organic and diversifi cation programs. “We offer it to help landowners and pesticide applicators communicate better – and to prevent problems before they happen.” Driftwatch™ is offered by MDA through a partnership with Purdue Univer-sity. For more information or to register land, go to www.driftwatch.org.

MDA recommends growers sign up for Driftwatch™ prior

to spring planting

Simply “believe on the Lord Jesus”.

Yet, we complicate things, even though God has made salvation easy.

Only believe. How simple!

Oftentimes, our society sees children as being tough and hardy, and can handle anything that is thrown their way. We believe that the chaos in our own lives only affects young children a little bit as most of the stress is on the parents. We see children as resilient and can easily “bounce back.” No worries. Oftentimes, we also see children as needing to tow the line and learn to be-have. So, if children act out or don’t listen, they need to “shape up.” Children who are having temper tantrums, or are whiny or clingy, cry inconsolably, refuse to follow rules, don’t eat their meals, refuse to go to bed alone at night, are bad and bite, kick and scratch their siblings, throws or break things, have wetting accidents, and refuse to get dressed in the morning, are all be-haviors that need good disciplining. We may explain these behaviors as kids just being “naughty,” or that they are “going through a phase.” Throughout the years, adults have scoffed at the idea of young children hav-ing mental health problems. Neverthe-less, many adults who have mental health problems stay in bed all day, don’t eat, are frequently sad and tearful, feel alone, miss work, become enraged and lose control of their anger, miss work, have stomachaches or headaches, or get constipated. What is the difference? Actually, our society should be more concerned for our young children who en-ter this world innocently and are mostly shaped by what they experience, especial-ly from birth to age 5. With increasing ev-idence through brain research, children’s vulnerability is much deeper than earli-

er realized. ChildrenNEED close and de-pendable relationshipsto survive. Love, nur-turance, security, re-sponsive interactions,and encouragementfor exploration are keyto predicting if a child

will or will not have mental health prob-lems. As noted in the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, “With-out at least one such relationship, devel-opment is disrupted and the consequencescan be severe and long-lasting.” There ismore and more convincing evidence thatpositive mental health begins early. In or-der to have happy, healthy children whoalso have a positive mental well-being and grow into productive contributing mem-bers of society, there needs to be more fo-cus on providing our children with time,attention, loving care, nurturance, andpositive regard, beginning at infancy andbeyond, when the brain is actually devel-oping. Maybe we don’t pay attention to the emotional needs of our children becausewe already have too much on our plates. Or, maybe, we just don’t know how to love because of our own mental health or stressors in our lives. Maybe we nevergot nurtured ourselves so we don’t know how to do it, or maybe we feel too guiltyto admit our mistakes and prefer to ignorethe problem. Whatever the reason, the risk is huge. Of course, we don’t have all the power to ensure our children that they will grow up and have a satisfying life. We can only control what we can control. But, let’smake sure we do all we can to help our little ones so that they have the best life we can give them. Just give them love.

Representatives from Runestone Tele-com Association (RTA) are working with federal regulators to address a problem of long-distance telephone calls not com-pleting to customers in Runestone’s area or resulting in “dead air.”

Many telephone customers in rural communities all over the country have re-ported not receiving calls they should and experiencing poor quality when it came to the calls they did get. Frustrated con-sumers often blame their local telephone companies, but rural telecommunications companies are not at fault.

In a positive step for rural Americans and the telephone companies that serve them, the Federal Communications Com-mission (FCC) recently announced that a national long-distance provider will pay a voluntary fi ne of almost $1 million as part of an investigation into the compa-ny’s efforts to route and complete calls to rural communities. Runestone’s represen-tatives believe the fi ne sends an important message to other long-distance providers about the fundamental duties expected of telecommunications providers. But poli-cymakers need to do more to put an end to the epidemic of call failures once and for all.

“The FCC’s recent announcement shows that regulators in Washington rec-

ognize the public safety concerns associ-ated with calls continually failing to go through,” said Lee Maier, general man-ager. “It also shows that local telecom-munications providers like RTA are notto blame and that this problem is part of a much larger issue associated with our country’s telecommunications networks.That’s why we continue to work with theFCC and members of Congress to fi nd asolution.”

It is believed that most rural call com-pletion problems stem from a practicecalled least-cost routing (LCR), in which long-distance carriers send calls destinedfor rural consumers to intermediate pro-viders to reduce expenses. In many cas-es, they are not properly routing the callto its destination and, as a result, somecalls have poor call quality and many callsare not connecting at all. This means ru-ral consumers may be missing importantphone calls, and they may not even know it.

Local telecommunications providers and their national trade associations havebeen leading efforts to fi nd a solution tothe call completion problem for more thantwo years. If you feel you are experienc-ing this problem please contact your leg-islators about this issue and please fi le a complaint at www.fcc.gov/complaints.

ARNIE DOMKEGLENWOOD • 6343617

Herman A. Segaar, 101 Herman Segaar, 101, of Glenwood, formerly of Brooten, died Saturday, April 27, 2013, at the Glen-wood Lakeview Good Sa-maritan Center. Funeral services were held on Thursday, May 2 at the Brooten Community Church with Pastor David Zylstra offi ciating. Interment was in Bethany Cemetery. Arrangements were with the Hoplin-Hitchcock Funeral Home in Brooten. Herman Alfred Segaar, the son of Pieter and Trijntje (Koole) Segaar, was born on Dec. 6, 1911, in Edgerton. He attended various country schools through the eighth-grade. As a young man in the 1930s he worked as a traveling farmhand and recalled picking corn by hand and earning two cents a bushel. In the mid-1930s he moved to Sheldon, Iowa, and began working in a grocery store. Herman decided it was time to settle down, and he went “dear” hunting and met Jo-hanna DeJager. On Dec. 15, 1938, he was united in mar-riage to Johanna in Sheldon, Iowa. The couple made their home in Sheldon and Hospers, Iowa, until 1949, when they moved to a dairy and crop farm near Brooten. This marriage was blessed with eight children. In 1973, they left the farm and moved to Brooten, but Herman never lost his love for the farm and continued working with his sons, Carl and Stanley, driving tractor and doing tillage until he was 95 years old. Herman and Johanna moved to Glenwood Estates on Dec. 1, 2008. The couple shared their 74th anniversary this past December. Herman was able to live independently with minimal assistance until this past March when a fall and hospital visit necessitated his move into the Lakeview Good Samaritan Center in Glenwood. He passed away there on Saturday, April 27, 2013. Herman was a member of the Brooten Community Church, often serving on the church council. He was also a member of the Brooten Senior Citizens, and he and Jo-hanna often provided music for club meetings, and they served as Senior Citizen king and queen for Bonanza Val-ley Days festivities. Herman will be remembered as a hard-working man who loved to garden and share his pro-duce. He especially loved spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Herman is survived by his wife, Johanna of Glen-wood; children, Larry (Faith) Segaar of Grand Rapids, Mich., Judy (Donald) Ellis of Laguna Beach, Calif., Al-yce (Ray) Brott of Jenison, Mich., Carl (Marlys) Segaar of Paynesville, Stanley (Pauline) Segaar of Brooten, Ruth McPherson of Hopkins and Nancy Segaar of Rancho Cu-camonga, Calif.; brother, Ted Segaar of Ripon, Calif.; 15 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Connie Mae Segaar; two brothers and three sisters.

Arrangements were with the Hoplin-Hitch-cock Funeral Home of Glenwood.

Louise Sandvig, 93 Louise Sandvig, 93, of Glenwood, died Tuesday, April 30, 2013, at the Min-newaska Lutheran Home in Starbuck.

Arrangements were with the Hoplin-Hitch-cock Funeral Home in Glen-wood. Marie Louise Samson was born on June 20, 1919, in Ste. Elisabeth, Manitoba, Canada. She was the eighth of 10 children born to Peter and Emma (Leberge) Sam-son. When Lousie was nine years old, her family immi-grated to the United States, settling in Grafton, N.D. She later moved to Seattle, Wash., where she was united in marriage to Loran Sandvig in 1941. Louise worked at Boeing until the birth of her fi rst child, Karen. Two years later, their son, Dale joined the family. After the end of WWII, Lousie and Loran moved to Minnesota and settled in Redwood Falls where they started a business, Sandvig’s Appliance, Plumbing and Heating. It was in Redwood Falls, in 1948, that their third and last child, Carol, was born. In 1971, Louise and Lo-ran retired from their business and briefl y spent their time building and remodeling apartments in Redwood Falls. In 1974, they moved to a cabin they built on Lake Min-newaska, in Glenwood. Here they enjoyed spending time visiting with friends and family and especially loved pol-ka dancing at the Lakeside ballroom and in Forada. They later bought a hobby farm near Starbuck where they built a home and enjoyed the “country life.” Besides dancing, Louise enjoyed playing bridge, sewing and gardening. She was a wonderful baker who always had a pan of buns or a pie in the oven. Louise was devoted to her husband and was especially proud of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Af-ter the death of her husband in 1998, Louise continued to reside on the farm with her son, Dale, until his death in 2010. In 2011, she moved into the Glenwood Estates. In March 2013, when Louise could no longer care for her daily needs, she moved into the Minnewaska Lutheran Home in Starbuck. She passed away there on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Louise is survived by her daughters, Karen Findley of Santa Clara, Calif., and Carol (John) Wold of Stillwater; grandchildren, Christopher, Chad, Matthew and Rachel; great-grandchildren, Jessica, Jordan and Cloe; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Loran; son, Dale; two brothers; and seven sisters.

The social determinants of health are the conditions in which children, youth, and families are born, grow up, live and work, as well as the quality and accessibil-ity to health care. Where you live can be a signifi cant indicator of how well you live as well as how long you live. Such non-med-ical factors infl uence health and well-be-ing, including health-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors. Socioeco-nomic inequalities in health have been wid-ening for decades. In the United States the data consistently show that people living in poverty, and particularly those who are minorities, bear a disproportionate burden of exposure to unhealthy environments and are at greater risk for mental and behavior-al health-related conditions. In addition to health literacy, gender, education, sexual orientation and geography; culture, accul-turation, language, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and social exclusion sig-nifi cantly infl uence overall health status as well. These factors tend to be interrelated and contribute to disparities among, as well as within, groups. Did you Know: • Approximately 3.5 million individu-als are homeless in America. • In the U.S., 44 million people are liv-ing in poverty and 41.3 million are using food stamps. • Children living in poverty are seven times more likely to have poor health than children in higher income households. • With a prison population of 2.3 mil-lion, we now have the highest rate of incar-ceration in the world. • Approximately 30 percent of LGBT youth report having been physically abused by family members because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. • LGB individuals had a 1.5 times high-

er risk for depression and anxiety disorders over a period of 12 months or a lifetime than heterosexual individuals. • African Americans are 30 percent more likely to report having serious psy-chological distress than non-Hispanic whites. • In 2007, Hispanics were three times more likely to be uninsured than non-His-panics. • American Indians and Alaska Natives have an infant death rate 40 percent higher than the rate for Caucasians. • American Indian/Alaska Native adults were 2.3 times as likely as white adults to be diagnosed with diabetes. • In 2006, adults with less than a high school degree were 50 percent less likely to have visited a doctor in the past 12 months compared to those with a bachelor’s degree. • Only 33 percent of disadvantaged fourth-graders are profi cient readers at grade level. • Poor Mexican-American children ages 2 to 9 have the highest proportion of untreated decayed teeth (70.5 percent), fol-lowed by poor non-Hispanic black children (67.4 percent).

April 29Minnewaska 7Sauk Centre 4 Minnewaska’s softball team traveled to Sauk Centre Monday afternoon looking to keep their winning streak alive against the Mainstreeters in a WCC North conference game. Julie Helander singled home Lexi Amundson in the Lakers fi rst at bat to grab a quick 1-0 lead. Helander clubbed a three-run homer in the third inning to cap a four-run inning, giving the Lakers a 5-0 lead. The Mainstreeters chipped away at the lead, scoring three times in the fi fth and a solo run in the sixth, narrowing the Minne-waska lead to a single tally, 5-4. Sydney Joos and Morgan Majerus gave the Lakers lead a little padding as each drove in a run with RBI singles in the top of the seventh inning. Starting pitcher Madison Phillips was able to hold the lead, never allowing the ty-ing run to reach the plate in the fi nal inning. Phillips struck out eight and walked only two, didn’t allow an earned run and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the fi rst inning. Helander knocked in four runs on two hits. Joos and Majerus also had two hits for the Lakers, who pushed their record to 4-0 on the season.

Joos scored on Phillips’ double and Lexi Amundson drove in the other two runs with another double. Minnewaska brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh but was unable to push any more runs across, losing for the fi rst time this year. Amundson was a perfect 3-3 at the plate including a double and two RBIs. Phillips took the loss, pitching four in-nings.

The Falcons scored in all four innings they batted, including 11 runs in the third and pounded out 31 hits. Minnewaska’s batters tried to keep pace, scoring 12 runs through three innings. The Lakers trailed, 13-12, heading into the bottom of the third but ACGC’s relentless offense put the game out of hand in the bot-tom of the third. Madison Phliips and Julie Helander collected three hits each as the Lakers ended the week with two wins and two losses.

Jake Amundson singled and scored on Austin Ostrander’s two-out single to get the Lakers on top early, 1-0. The Tigers tied the score in the fourth on a pair of extra base hits, but the Lakers retook the lead in the bottom of the inning when Amundson scored again, this time on a passed ball. Morris then pushed across fi ve runs in the fi fth to take a commanding 6-2 lead. Matt Paulson scored for the Lakers in the bottom of the sixth to inch closer to the Ti-gers heading into the fi nal inning. The Tigers racked up four more runs in the seventh to put the game out of reach, taking a 10-3 victory. Amundson and Riley Thompson had two hits each for the Lakers.

The Bulldogs got off to a good start, pushing across a pair of runs in the fi rst in-ning against Lakers’ starter Matt Paulson. Minnewaska wasted no time answering the Bulldogs runs as they put up a three-spot in the bottom of the fi rst inning. Jake Amundson and Jon Nygaard led off the inning with singles. Both scored on Austin Giese’s triple. Giese came home on a wild pitch to put the Lakers up, 3-2. A fl urry of errors by the Bulldogs con-tributed to the Lakers’ four-run second in-ning and Minnewaska was up 7-2. Paynesville added single runs in the third and sixth innings but were offset by a Lakers’ run in the fi fth and two more runs in the sixth.

Sophomore Paulson gave way to Giese after six innings of work to get the win. It was Paulson’s fi rst varsity win. A trio of Lakers tripled during the game. Giese, Nygaard and Ostrander all legged out three-baggers.

Lakeside Pavilion season to open with a Grand Ball

Youth are found safe May 9, 1963 - The Rev. L. D. Kramer, pastor of the Assembly of God Church in Glenwood, announced that he would leave his position as pastor of the church to devote full time to his job as head of Assembly Homes, Inc, in Minnesota. He had also been named to the board of benevolences of the Assembly of God Church nationally. Two incumbents and a third candidate fi led for openings on Glenwood’s school board. Incumbents, Dr. Gordon Lee and Jim Stradtman, were to appear on the bal-lot, as was Harry Schmiesing. Holdover members included Jim Gremmels, Grant L. Hustad, Earl Fingerson and Gordon Moe. The grand opening of the Rogers Ho-tel and Cafe, under new management, was set. New owner was Donald Brokhausen, formerly of Clifford, N.D. He had pur-chased the hotel from Howard “Mickey” McDonald. Mrs. Clifford Hansen was named to fi ll a post on the Glenwood Community Hospital board. May 10, 1973 - The Pleasant Hill Troopers 4-H Club, the outstanding 4-H club in the county for the year, planted 450 trees in Minnewaska Township as part of a program established by the John Mor-ton Memorial Fund. Morton was a county farmer who established and followed a va-riety of conservation practices on his farm and was named the Conservation Farmer of the Year in Minnesota in 1959. Morton had died in 1970. Minnewaska Lutheran Church in Star-buck was about to celebrate the 90th anni-versary of its inception as a congregation. Committee members planning for the event were Ray Kyvig, George Aune, Mrs. Ednard Barsness, Mrs. Hilmer Erickson, Lisa Kirkwold and Gertie Larson. Villard sports fans attended the an-nual Mallard sports banquet to listen to Paul Swan speak. Jeff Gaffaney was giv-

en awards for being namedto the all-loop football andbasketball teams. Leonard Heidelberger was namedfan of the year. Otherawards were presented tomembers of all of Villard’s teams.

May 12, 1983 - Waterama AdmiralBill Endres announced that there would besome changes in the upcoming annual cel-ebration. The big Waterama fl oat was to be redesigned and re-built, weighing up to2,300 pounds less since cars had becomesmaller. The water thrill show was to fea-ture a show other than the Prior Lake SkiClub, which for years had provided the en-tertainment. The Minnesota State Patrol credited a child’s auto restraint with saving her life in a bizarre accident on Hwy No. 28 between Glenwood and Starbuck. A Chaska manand his infant daughter were traveling eastwhen a pickup truck they met lost the fi sh house loaded on it. The fi sh house fl ewthrough the air and could not be avoidedby the east-bound motorist. The child was strapped into her infant seat and thus avoided striking the windshield in the ac-cident. May 10, 1993 - Pope County depu-ty, Mark Hedner, who had been serving as acting sheriff, was appointed by thecounty board as Pope County sheriff un-til the 1994 election. Pope County attor-ney, Bruce Obenland, pointed out that the county board was required by state statueto fi ll the sheriff’s position for the balance of the term. Two youths had been found early Sun-day morning on Lake Villard after being reported missing on Saturday night. ThePope County Sheriff’s Department had received a call at 11:34 p.m. on Saturday from Elton Davis, Bloomington, who re-ported that a nine-year-old and 14-year-old youth had not returned to the Davis cabin after going fi shing on Lake Villardin a rubber raft at 7 p.m. The youth were

found in the raft at 12:06a.m. The raft was hung upin bull rushes approximately200 feet from shore on thewest end of the lake. The youth were treated for hy-pothermia in the ambulanceand released. May 12, 2003 - The Pope County Board voted to ac-cept an agreement with Ste-vens County to share a Vet-eran’s Service Offi cer. The forthcoming depar-ture of the county’s currentVSO, Richard Mollers, prompted the board’s deci-sion to look into sharing theposition with another coun-ty. Few Minnesota counties the size of Pope maintain afull-time VSO of their own.

From the Glenwood Herald, May 9, 1913

* * * * * * * * * * * To the teachers and pu-pils of Pope County: The thought has just occurred to me that the school children could do much to assist in the movement of “Good Roads” and I am sending this let-ter to you with this in view. There are over 4,000 school children in Pope County and if these children will spend ten or twenty minutes on your way home from school one evening picking stones and pebbles out of the roads on their way home from school, it will mean much to the comfort of horses, drivers, automobilists and mo-torcycle riders. Yours very truly, G. C. Torguson

* * * * * * * * * * * Mother’s Day will be observed at the M. E. church next Sunday. Subject of the morning sermon, “Mother.” Subject of the evening sermon, “Home, with a good or bad mother.” Every man is requested to write a letter to his mother and send her a white carnation this week. Rev. T. H. Smithers, Pastor.

* * * * * * * * * * * Elaborate preparations have been made for a celebration of Norway’s In-dependence Day by the Young Peoples Societies of Rev. Forde’s call at the west end of Lake Minnewaska. A patriotic pro-gram will be given with addresses by Rev. Tolo, Mr. Bolstad, Eugene Aal and others. Cornie Wollan will give a whistling solo. Dinner will be served at twenty fi ve cents a plate. In the afternoon a ball game will be played by the Glenwood and Starbuck

ball teams. * * * * * * * * * * *

A shoe box social will be held in the District 73 school house by Henry Disrud’s on Saturday eve-ning, May 10. Everybody welcome.

* * * * * * * * * * * Ole Samuelson has completed a suc-cessful term of school on the south side of the lake and expects to locate in Starbuck where he will conduct his motorcycle sale and repair business.

* * * * * * * * * * * John James started work at the Glen-wood city park. He has been engaged for a period of four months and will devote his time to improving and caring for this property. Suffi cient funds for this pur-pose was raised under the direction of the Glenwood band. With proper care it will furnish a splendid place for recreation and amusement. The band boys hope to secure a band stand and a number of seats in or-der to enable them to give weekly open air concerts at the park during the summer. This plan should be encouraged.

* * * * * * * * * * * Wanted at once, an active partner in the Glenwood Stock exchange. Scandina-vian preferred.
