counterproposal

Warroad - The

discussed North Star

Electric’s counterproposal

for the worth of the

utility usage on the yetundeveloped

land on

which the Red Lake

Nation plans to construct

a new hotel and casino.

“When land is

annexed by a city, such

as the current situation,

the city needs to compensate

North Star Electric

for its loss of utility revenue

from the annexed

property. The reason is

that North Star had the

rights to service that

property before the city

took over.”

The city’s offer was

$907,200. North Star’s

counterproposal was

$1.9 million. The council

rejected this offer and

will meet with North

In my life I have been truly blessed

greatest men in the world my family or friend.

My wife’s Uncle Bob Kauppila passed away this past

Tuesday. He was a great patriot and decorated

Veteran. Though Bob was quiet, he was smart,

witty, and most importantly a loving uncle.

He was a humble man that served our country,

along with his brothers, very courageously.

At the time of his passing, he was surrounded

by 12 people that loved him.

Though we were in Vermont mourning his passing,

I can’t help but think of how lucky he was

to have that many people insist to be by his side

during his final journey.

Bob has a family anyone would envy,

and the courage that few could equal.

Have a safe and

prosperous

harvest season

With the exception of last week and

possibly next week, cooler than normal

weather in July and August have

slowed crops. According to the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, crops were

as much as two weeks behind normal.

Current weather conditions may provide

crops the boost they need to ripen,

which brings us to harvest. Typically,

the Minnesota Department of

Agriculture conducts its Farm Safety

Week in mid September, but now might

be a good time to remind farmers to

pay attention to the details that might

represent opinion of other staff members. Opinions in items from

other publications may not coincide with the editor’s own views but

are offered for their general interest.

put them at risk later, details like paying

attention to the safety information

in operator’s manuals and warning

decals; inspecting equipment and correcting

any hazards; identifying hazardous

areas on equipment and staying

away from the moving parts; shutting

down equipment before dismounting

from equipment, and keeping

bystanders, particularly children,

away from farm equipment operation

areas.

Obviously, farmers know what

they’re doing, but it doesn’t hurt to

remind everyone that when harvest

creates a tense and frenzied environment,

to calm down a bit and pay more

attention to the sorts of things that can

get you into trouble. We want everyone

to have a safe and prosperous season.

To the Editor:

I just finished baling CRP

at my dad’s farm and am sitting

in my dad’s shop that

has been totally remodeled

into a shack. It makes a very

relaxing place to go to have

something to eat, take a nap,

or today, try to write a letter.

I would have to look at the

abstract to know for sure

when Dad bought the place,

but am reasonably sure it

was in the 1940s. The place

has been in the family for

roughly 70 years and it is my

turn to pay the taxes on it

for a few years.

Everyone has a different

idea of how to make a better

place out of a property. Some

try to improve it to make

money. I try to make it so my

family and I can enjoy the

outdoors - hunting whatever

happens to be in season. My

son told me once he didn’t

know why I hunted anymore

because I don’t shoot anything,

anyway. A friend of

mine pointed out that I

hardly ever shot a deer after

I started raising red angus

cattle. Venison is still a treat

once in awhile, but definitely

is not angus beef. If you

don’t pull the trigger, you

don’t have to go to work

butchering. The time is

probably right to invest in a

good camera. Older and

wiser or older and lazier?

Probably some of each.

My grandparents bought

the Hanson place in the

early ’50s. It sat empty until

1975 when my wife and I

moved there. Before that,

LETTERS

the yard and woods were

pasture and all the buildings

were torn down or burned.

My grandparents’ place

went empty in 1986 and

since then, the buildings

have all been torn down or

burned, and now it is pasture

for my cows.

That saying - what goes

around, comes around was

true one more time. My

mom’s cousin from North

Dakota came for a visit

recently, and at 84 said that

almost everyone she used to

visit was in the ground. It’s a

good thing we are the recipients

of the greatest promise

ever given. We’re here for a

good time, not a long time.

Anyone that doesn’t believe

life is short only has to look

at an abstract on any property.

If your name is on it

now, it won’t take very long

for it to be a couple of names

down the list.

They say on the radio that

almost half of fatalities in

car crashes weren’t buckled

up. That can only mean

more than half were. Hmm.

Buckle up! It is one of the

top 10 things to do to give

yourself the chance to live to

100. It is also the law and

happens to be a real money

maker for the state. Buckle

up and spend your money on

food, rent, heat or clothes for

your kid’s first day back to

school.

On the news a few mornings

ago, a rodeo bullfighter

wore an Obama mask and

asked the crowd if it wanted

Jerry Olson joins ICA in Roseau

p.mJerry A. Olson

Investment Centers of

America Inc. (ICA), a nationwide

provider of non-deposit

financial products and services,

announced Jerry A.

Olson is the new investment

representative for the ICA

office located at Border

State Bank in Roseau.

Olson, originally from

Roseau, graduated from the

University of North Dakota

in 1990 with a bachelor’s

degree in mechanical engineering.

He then enjoyed a

successful career as an engineering

manager with

Polaris Industries for 21

years. He also earned a

Masters of Business

Administration from the

Miller College of Business at

Ball State University in

Indiana in 2005. Olson has

continued his education and

has recently attained his

Series 7 and 66 registrations

along with being Life and

Long Term Care Insurance

licensed.

Olson and his wife, Dede,

continue to live in Roseau,

where they have raised their

children, Chris, Katie, and

Corey.

“Jerry Olson will focus on

building long-term relationships

to help clients achieve

financial independence,”

said Greg Gunderson, president

and chief executive officer

for ICA. “He typifies the

personal approach ICA was

founded upon and is a good

addition to our team.”

The ICA office is located

at 1083 Third St. NW,

Roseau, MN, phone number

(218)463-3344.

Founded in 1985,

Investment Centers of

America, Inc., member

FINRA, SIPC, is a leading

seller of securities and

insurance products through

its offices in the lobbies of

financial institutions and

through independent offices.

He was given a lifetime suspension

from bullfighting.

If that had been a

Reagan, Bush or Clinton

mask would it have been

handled with a little bit of

humor? That was probably

the intent. I believe the race

card is getting played way

too often. I could care less if

a person is red, white, pink,

green or black. It’s all about

attitude, not color.

I have yet to notice a

shortage of attitude with the

present administration. I

will close with a quote that

seemed very fitting with

where we are at politically -

“The champions of socialism

call themselves progressives,

but they recommend a

system which is characterized

by rigid observance of

routine and by a resistance

to every kind of improvement.

They call themselves

liberals, but they are intent

upon abolishing liberty.

They call themselves

Democrats, but they yearn

for dictatorship. They call

themselves revolutionaries,

but they want to make the

government omnipotent.” -

Economist Ludwig von

Mises (1881-1973).

If Elvis were alive today,

he would be 78 years old.

Have a great day,

Stan and Ruby Holmaas

purchased The Sunshine

Inn, a small lunch/coffee

shop located next to the

Newfolden Pavilion Sales

Barn and converted it to a

grocery store, which became

known as Stan’s Grocery. As

an independent business

owner, Stan kept long business

hours to accommodate

the needs of farmers, shift

workers, and the changes in

season. He would gladly

open up after hours if someone

called or knocked on the

door, and he delivered groceries

to homes when needed.

He was known to “run-atab”

and occasionally barter

with those who didn’t have

monetary resources; if someone

was really hungry and

without funds, he would

help them out. It was this

and the many other roles

Stan played in the

Newfolden community that

made him remarkable.

Stan served over 40 years

on the Newfolden Fire

Department and before

there was such a thing as an

ambulance service in

Newfolden, Stan would

transport patients to the

nearest hospital in his

Studebaker station wagon.

Stan also served for decades

as a Newfolden councilmember

and mayor. As a city representative

and Newfolden

promoter, Stan worked tirelessly

toward rebuilding the

high school after it was

destroyed by fire, even

though demographics, the

economy, and politics said

otherwise. Stories tell of

Stan checking on senior citizens

isolated in rural

Newfolden and visiting

many people in nursing

homes and the hospital. He

responded to many calls of

distress as years entrusted

him to friends, residents,

and customers. In times of

immediate need, Stan was

even summoned to the local

hospital to donate blood as

he possessed a rare blood

type. One could propose that

the man himself was also

very rare indeed

In 2009, the City of

Newfolden received a special

donation from the Stan

Holmaas family - the property

that once was home to

Stan’s Grocery. Stan

Holmaas’s family donated

this piece of property contingent

that the land be available

to the community for

recreational purposes. The

Volunteers and City Staff began work on the Stan Holmaas

Memorial Park at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 14. A

heartfelt thank you to all who participated in the three day

event. The main playscape structures were completely

assembled on Wednesday, with the wood fiber mulch

placed on Thursday, and dirt and debris removal on Friday.

Thank you to the following volunteers - Newfolden firefighters

Ryan Johnson, Kent Warne, Dave Bennett, Lori

Lindholm, and Derik Converse; Marshall County Central

Staff Member Gale Donarski; Newfolden residents Alonna

Johnson, Shannon Converse, Tammy Hansen, Lori Warne,

and Andy Brons; and youth residents Micah Johnson, and

Halle Foslien, and Mya Foslien. Thank you to Jerome

Nelson and Richard Moen for their work. Finally, thank you

to the Northwoods Landscape and Recreation Lead,

Bemidji, Scott Winter and his crew. (Submitted)

Charlie and Katie Bjorgaard stopped by the Stan Holmaas

Memorial Park in Newfolden on Wednesday evening to

check out the progress. Other youth that also stopped by

earlier that day, with anticipation, and excitement, were

Micah and Owen Johnson, Kaydence and Kelby Augustine,

and Halle and Josie Foslien. Warm hugs and thank yous

were received by a young gentleman named Brian Trulson.

(Submitted)

A huge thank you to volunteers, high

school students and city workers for their

commitment to get the playscape equipment

assembled in the Stan Holmaas

Memorial Park in Newfolden on

Wednesday, Aug. 14. Workers and volunteers

included: (top row) Ethan Elseth,

Jonah Underdahl, Conner Sorenson, and Ty

Warne; (bottom row) Sawyer Nelson,

Damien Lofstrom and Brady Brandon.

land was given with a vision

for the Stan Holmaas

Memorial Park. As an extension

of Stan’s legacy, the

vision for the proposed park

is to provide a rich resource

to an underserved section of

the community -

Newfolden’s east side. The

Stan Holmaas Memorial

Park will carry forward

Stan’s service to community;

enhancing safety, facilitating

development, and connecting

families, residents,

and visitors, of all ages,

through nature and recreation.

Upon being awarded a

$58,000, 50/50 grant in

2012, by the Minnesota

Department of Natural

Resources Outdoor

Recreational Grant

Program, dreams began to

evolve into reality. Over the

past two summers, the

Newfolden Park and

Recreation Committee has

diligently worked with

developers from the Bemidji

area on ideas for the Stan

Holmaas Memorial Park.

The structure for the park

development has been divided

into three phases to be

constructed over three summers.

Phase one began in

summer 2012 with the demolition

of Stan’s Grocery and

site preparation. Phase two,

which has just been completed,

saw the addition of trees,

playscape structures for

children ages 2 to 12, and

fencing. The third and final

phase will be concluded the

summer of 2014 with the

addition of perennial gardens,

with prairie land

species indigenous to the

region; benches and picnic

tables; a memorial garden to

Stan Holmaas; and a recognition

wall of those who

have donated to the Stan

Holmaas Memorial Park

Project.

The significance of the

area is long and varied. In

addition to it once being the

site to Stan’s Grocery, it

rests between Newfolden’s

east-side residential neighborhoods

and the Newfolden

Co-op Elevator and CP

Railroad tracks. Newfolden’s

origin was molded by what

was once known as the Soo-

Line Railroad. The railroad

system is woven tightly

together with Newfolden’s

rich, farming heritage. To

honor this history, park

plans also include the addition

of interpretive signs

and educational displays.

These signs will highlight

the importance of our farming

community, the

Newfolden Cooperative

Elevator, the various types

of grains, and other crops,

the area is known for, and

specifically how the early

railroad systems created

who we are today.

To date, the Newfolden

Park and Recreation

Committee has received just

under $38,000 of the

$58,000 needed in donations

toward the community’s

50/50 match. To donate to

the Stan Holmaas Memorial

Park, contact any member of

the Newfolden Park and

Recreation Committee.

Committee members

include: Tammy Hansen,

city administrator, Melanie

Sorenson, city council member,

and Lori Warne, mayor.

Those attending athletic events at Lincoln High

School this year will be required to enter through the

new main entrance on the south side of the building.

A large paved, lighted parking lot is located in front of

the entrance. The old entrance on the north side of the

school will be locked and used only by visiting teams

and officials. Signs on both Knight Avenue and Arnold

Avenue mark the entrances to the new parking lot.The

change will be put in place for the first time Tuesday,

Aug. 27, for a season-opening Thief River Falls vs.

Little Falls volleyball match. School District 564 activities

director Mike Biermaier added a another word of

advice for spectators planning to attend the Prowlers

vs. Flyers match – due to on-going construction, air

conditioning will not be in operation. It might be a

warm opener, he warned.

Defending Section 8AA volleyball champions...

TRF has high hopes

Having tasted success,

Thief River Falls is hungry

for more. The Prowlers

made their first trip to the

Minnesota state high school

volleyball tournament in

2012, where a Class AA consolation

title capped a banner

28-6 season. They have

their sights set on defending

their Section 8AA crown and

making a return trip to the

Xcel Energy Center in St.

Paul.

Thief River Falls turned

in a record-breaking campaign

a year ago with just

three seniors on the roster –

Brooke Anderson, Crystal

Amundson and Lilly Kainz.

The Prowlers head into the

fall ranked No. 3 in the

Class AA preseason state

rankings.

“We are excited to start

again,” said Laurie Bitter,

who begins her third year as

the Prowlers’ head coach.

“We have a lot to prove, but

we are excited to see how far

we can go.”

Those returning who

were starters or played

extensively off the bench a

year ago include senior hitters

Brooke Yaggie and

Courtney Amirayan; senior

setter Shelby Norlin; senior

defensive specialist Hannah

Kraemer; junior hitter and

defensive specialist Emily

Bergland; and sophomore

hitter Meleah Biermaier.

Others who were on the

2012 state tournament roster

vying for additional varsity

playing time this fall

include junior hitters

Madison Brekke and Billie

Lindland, along with sophomore

hitters Alexee Nelson

and Mickey Erickson.

Sophomore Mattlyn

Erickson and freshman

Jennicca Leier, a pair of hitters,

are newcomers listed as

varsity candidates.

Thief River Falls opens

the season Tuesday at home

against Little Falls. Due to

construction activity at

Lincoln High School, all

three matches that night

will be played in the main

gym, starting with the C

squad at 5 p.m., followed by

the junior varsity and varsity

at approximately 6 and

7:30 p.m., respectively.

“Going to state last year

Swimmers have

a veteran squad

There’s a reason why the

Thief River Falls girls can

expect to put an improved

team in the pool for the

upcoming 2013 high school

swim season.

The Prowlers went 2-6 in

dual meet competition a

year ago with a squad that

had just one senior – Sydney

Amundson.

By mixing a solid group of

veterans with a batch of

newcomers, second-year

Thief River Falls head coach

Tevia Reese hopes to see the

Prowlers’ times drop and

record improve this fall.

“The season is off to a fantastic

start,” said Reese. “We

have 40 strong, energized

young ladies who are ready

to explode off the blocks.”

High school swimmers in

the program include seniors

Hannah Fladeland, Lexi

Hjelseth, Ashley Jobe, Ciera

Mooney, Bryana Vigness;

juniors Michaela Myhrer,

Bailee Nordheim, Erin

Sedra; sophomores Alex

King, Julia Rose, Claire

Naslund; and freshmen

Sydney Hodgson, Wynn

Klamm, Bailee Kolden,

Kayla Possai, Rylie Steiger

and Morgan Zerwas.

Middle school swimmers

are led by eighth graders

Paige Ballard, Ashley

Carlson, Addison Erickson,

Marley Nelson and Jenna

VonHoltum, along with seventh

graders Raegan Espe,

Caitlin Johnson, Jestina

LeClaire, Alexa Rogalla and

Macy Twamley.

Joining the program this

fall were ten sixth graders.

The newcomers are a welcome

addition – youngsters

who help ensure the program’s

future, according to

Reese. “It’s always exciting

to see how many sixth

graders go out for swimming,”

she said.

Those 2013 sixth graders

include Anna Bohnenkamp,

Josie Cervantes, Madelynn

Dakken, Anika Dalager,

Molly Halsa, Kulinda

Kudee, Carina Huot, Amber

Koski, Camryn Schwab and

Alison Stennes.

With so many swimmers

on hand with varsity experience,

there is no lack of leaders,

mentioned Reese. “The

leadership within our team

is outstanding,” she

explained. “Ashley Jobe and

Alex King have proven to be

strong leaders, not only

among the junior varsity

and varsity swimmers, but

also with helping the new

sixth graders during their

separate practice.”

The season begins

Monday at the Detroit

Lakes Invitational. The

Prowlers will make their

home debut Thursday, Aug.

29, with a double-dual event

involving Crookston and

Fosston/Bagley that starts

at 5:30 p.m. in the Franklin

Blue Devils take

tie-breakers for

a 6-1 tennis win

Virginia handled visiting

Thief River Falls 6-1

Tuesday in girls high school

tennis.

The lone win for the

Prowlers came from Callie

Fagerstrom at No. 4 singles.

Despite the one-sided

final score, many of the

matches were close, reported

Thief River Falls coach

Matt Okeson. “We lost three

of the four tie-breakers,” he

pointed out. “That was the

difference in this contest. I

told the girls before the

match it would come down

to the tie-breakers, and it

basically did.”

It was the first dual of the

year for the Prowlers, who

opened the year four days

earlier at the Park Rapids

Invitational.

“In all the matches, we

started out slow in the first

set,” explained Okeson.

“There were a lot of long rallies

in several of the matches;

that was fun to see. The

girls left it on the line, and

that was a positive. Most

came off the court and said

we need more matches like

this one – competitive.”

Because a heat advisory

had been issued for the area

that day, the match was

moved indoors to the Quad

Cities Tennis For All facility

in Virginia.

While satisfied with the

effort, Okeson said there is

still some early-season work

to do. “We have to be more

patient and really take

advantage of mistakes,” he

said. “I thought we were a

little tentative.”

DNR offers fewer wolf licenses

A smaller Minnesota wolf

population means fewer

hunting and trapping licenses

will be available when the

wolf season opens Saturday,

Nov. 9.

The Department of

Natural Resources set the

statewide target harvest of

wolves at 220, 180 fewer

than last season.

Starting Aug. 1, hunters

and trappers could apply for

2,000 early-season and

1,300 late-season licenses.

That’s a reduction from

3,600 early-season and

2,400 late-season licenses in

2012. The deadline to apply

for the hunting and trapping

license lottery is Thursday,

Sept. 5.

“The changes are a management

response to the

most-recent wolf population

estimate,” said Dan Stark,

the DNR’s large carnivore

specialist. “As with other

game species DNR manages,

adjustments are made to

regulate hunting pressure

and harvest to ensure longterm

population sustainability

and provide hunting and

trapping opportunities.”

Minnesota continues to

have the largest wolf population

in the lower 48 states.

The DNR’s 2013 wolf population

survey estimated

2,211 wolves last winter

compared to 2,921 in the

winter of 2008. The mostrecent

estimate does not

include the birth of as many

as 2,600 wolf pups this

spring, some of which will

survive into winter and be

counted in next year’s population.

“DNR’s population survey

confirmed Minnesota’s wolf

population remains firmly

established on the landscape,”

Stark said. “We can

manage seasons for a sustainable

population of

wolves like we do for dozens

of other game species.”

The DNR manages wolf

harvest, in part, through a

system of hunting zones.

The target harvest in the

northwest zone is 145, down

from 265 in 2012. The target

harvest in the northeast

zone is 65, down from 133.

The east-central zone target

harvest is 10, down from 18.

With the possible exception

of the east-central zone,

those harvest targets will be

split between the early and

late seasons.

Individuals who apply

must pay a $4 fee, show

proof of a current or previous

hunting license and

choose one of three available

license options:

n Early season hunting,

which is concurrent with the

firearms deer season, unless

a zone closes earlier because

the target harvest is met.

The early season runs from

Saturday, Nov. 9, through

Sunday, Nov. 24, in all

Series 100 deer permit areas

and Nov. 9 through Sunday,

Nov. 17, in Series 200 deer

permit areas. In the eastcentral

zone, the early season

is scheduled to be a twoday

hunt this year, concluding

when legal shooting

hours end on Sunday, Nov.

10

ṅ Late season hunting,

which runs from Saturday,

Nov. 30, through Friday,

Jan. 31, 2014, or when the

target harvest is met,

whichever occurs earlier. If

the east-central zone’s target

harvest is met during

the early season, the late

east-central season will not

open.

n Late season trapping,

which runs from Nov. 30

through Jan. 31, 2014, or

when the target harvest is

met, whichever occurs earlier.

Statewide bag limit is one

wolf and licenses are not

zone specific. Lottery winners

will receive a wolf hunting

booklet with their notification.

Wolf licenses cost $30 for

residents and $250 for nonresidents.

The early season

purchase deadline is Friday,

Nov. 1, with surplus licenses

going on sale at noon on

Wednesday, Nov. 6. The late

season purchase deadline is

Friday, Nov. 22, with surplus

licenses going on sale at

noon on Wednesday, Nov. 27.

The DNR sets wolf seasons

and quotas based on

long-term sustainability, as

it does with more than 50

other game species, including

many other furbearing

mammals. The DNR

received strong direction

from the Minnesota

Legislature to conduct a wolf

season and manage wolves

as a prized and high-value

fur species by setting the

season when pelts have

value.

DNR’s goal for wolf management,

as outlined in the

state’s wolf management

plan, is to ensure the longterm

survival of the wolf in

Minnesota and resolve conflicts

between wolves and

humans. The state wolf

management plan includes

wolf-specific population and

health monitoring, research,

depredation management,

public education and law

enforcement efforts.

Deer hunters group

DNR updates state

list of endangered,

threatened species

A state list first established

nearly 30 years ago to

highlight and help protect

plants and animals at risk

of disappearing from Minnesota

has received its first

official update since 1996.

Following a series of five

public hearings, an 86-day

comment period and review

by an administrative law

judge, the Minnesota

Department of Natural

Resources on Monday, Aug.

19, adopted a new list of

endangered, threatened and

special concern species.

Twenty-nine species,

including the bald eagle,

wolf and snapping turtle,

were removed from the list;

180 species of plants and

animals were added; 91

species had their status

either upgraded or downgraded

while remaining on

the list. The changes were

based on large amounts of

new information gathered

by DNR and other

researchers.

Minnesota’s endangered

species law requires the

DNR to create and periodically

revise such a list, and

it prescribes three levels of

concern. An endangered

species is one that is at

great risk of extinction within

the state. A threatened

species is likely to become

endangered within the foreseeable

future. A species of

special concern, though not

at immediate risk, is considered

vulnerable because of

its rarity or highly specific

habitat requirements.

The law prohibits the

taking or possession of

endangered and threatened

species except in certain situations.

If a proposed project

cannot avoid a protected

species, the state can issue a

“taking permit” that is combined

with mitigation, such

as funding for research or

acquisition of other sites to

protect the species. Over the

past decade, DNR has

received 23 applications for

development-related taking

permits and it has issued all

but one.

“The ultimate goal of putting

a plant or animal on the

list isn’t to put up walls

around it; it’s to restore its

health and get it back off the

list,” said Rich Baker, DNR

endangered species coordinator.

“There are plenty of

examples of that happening,

and it doesn’t have to come

at the expense of sustainable

economic development.”

Dove season opens Sept. 1

Minnesota’s dove hunting

season begins Sept. 1 and

continues through Nov. 9,

reports the Department of

Natural Resources.

A small game license and

Harvest Information

Program certification are

required for hunters 16 and

older. Hunters younger than

16 must obtain a free small

game hunting license and

HIP certification.

Daily bag limit is 15

doves with 45 in possession.

Nontoxic shot is not

required but is recommended.

Minnesota has allowed

dove hunting since 2004.

The state has about 13,000

dove hunters, who harvest

more than 100,000 doves

each year.

Minnesota in Minneapolis,

there are about 2,000 roundabouts

in the United States.

If you think that’s a lot, you

can compare that to France,

which has about 20,000

roundabouts, or to Australia,

which has about 15,000

roundabouts. The U.K. is

also reported to have about

10,000 roundabouts.

You can see by these figures

that roundabouts are

very popular and no doubt

will gain in popularity here

in our own country in the

future. I understand that

some people don’t like them

initially, but they are very

safe, and they save lives,

time and money, so you will

continue to see them being

built and used. Actually,

roundabouts are the safest

intersections we have –

they eliminate right angle

crashes and slow down traffic.

Roundabouts cost about

the same as an intersections

with lights.

Arts Council announces Adams exhibit

The

Minnesota Arts Council

announces the opening of

the Maggi Adams exhibit at

its gallery in the River Walk

Artists gallery and gift shop.

Adams’ 14 original pieces of

art are on loan from the

Roseau Area Library.

The work on display is a

series of paintings that are

found within the children’s

book “Iggam’s Dreams.”

“Iggam’s Dream” was created

by Roseau Friends of the

Library after the former

Roseau resident passed

away in 2002 as a way of

bringing together her life’s

work. This exhibit is a wonderful

show for children or

Owners of an estimated

22,000 livestock feedlots registered

in Minnesota must

submit updated registration

information to the

Minnesota Pollution Control

Agency by Jan. 1, 2014. The

information includes location,

type of operation, and

number of livestock.

“Feedlot registration

helps the state protect the

environment by targeting

resources for improvements

where they are most needed,”

Randall Hukriede, an

MPCA feedlot program manager,

said. “Registration also

helps us communicate with

livestock producers about

regulatory and educational

information.”

The state’s feedlot rule

requires all feedlot registrations

to be updated at least

once in a four-year cycle.

The current four-year cycle

runs from Jan. 2, 2010, to

Jan. 1, 2014. Records show

that approximately 13,500

feedlot owners have already

re-registered for the current

cycle.

Feedlot owners who have

not already re-registered

will receive a registration

form from either their local

since it complements a book

that is about telling stories

from your dreams.

Adams lived from 1967 to

2002 in Roseau and wrote

countless feature stories for

the local weekly newspaper.

Her husband, William

Adams, was editor-publisher

of the Roseau Times-Region

until their retirement at the

end of 1983. She painted

from her tower studio while

Bill wrote children’s stories

to accompany the pictures.

“Iggam's Dreams” was

published in 2003 with

grant assistance by the

NWMAC. The NWMAC

helped to offset the costs of

framing the pieces with a

grant. Other Adams work is

county office or an MPCA

regional office. The feedlot

owner must review the

information on the form,

make any needed corrections,

and return the form to

the appropriate office. On

Thursday, Aug. 15, MPCA

regional offices mailed forms

to more than 3,000 feedlot

owners in 33 counties that

are not delegated to administer

the state feedlot rules.

Feedlot owners need to re-register

“Accurate registration

data are critical for county

feedlot officers to run a successful

feedlot program in

their counties,” said Dan

Vermilyea, president of the

Minnesota Association of

County Feedlot Officers and

Steele County feedlot officer.

“Registration data are used

to develop inspection strategies

based on feedlot type,

size and relationship to surface

water and wells. The

data also help CFOs stay

abreast of feedlot trends in

their counties, which helps

them develop pertinent educational

materials and programs

for the producers.”

Registration started with

the feedlot rule revision

enacted in 2000. It replaced

the need for operating permits

for the vast majority of

livestock feedlots. Feedlots

Before city staff lock in an

will bring the matter back to

council’s decision on

whether to purchase the

During the council meeting,

Hahn also presented

information from a survey

he conducted at one of the

The employer wished to

450 people said they would

residence if new housing

were available in Thief

Hahn noted that most

respondents have a household

of two or three people

and 86.47 percent said a

needs best. The majority of

respondents said monthly

rent or mortgage payments

of $400 to $599, or $600 to

$799 would fit into their

people want to own their

with a monthly mortgage

payment of $400 to $599, a

Riding across America for diabetes research

Bart Bergman, the older

brother to Dave Bergman of

Thief River Falls, is

attempting to ride a bike

across America on Highway

2 from Washington to

Boston, Mass., in support of

diabetes research and he is

doing this without a support

crew. He will be traveling

through communities in

North Dakota and northwestern

Minnesota this

week. He will be staying in

Thief River Falls over the

weekend.

In a letter to his family

and friends, Bergman writes

about his journey.

“I am about to start a difficult

quest. I have felt

called to ride across America

to raise funds for Type 1 diabetes

research and after taking

on more obstacles than

you will ever imagine, I am

ready to start. I am not sure

that I will finish or that my

body will allow me to succeed,

but I am ready to tackle

the obstacles that await

me on the road.”

Bergman said he is

undertaking this quest for

three reasons. “First there is

a talented determined

researcher, Dr. Denise

Faustman, who is behind

the BCG Human Clinical

Trial Program. Her lab is

testing whether using an

inexpensive generic drug

can reduce or eliminate the

disease-causing T cells in

patients living with type 1

diabetes. They have already

had success with laboratory

rats and also in a Phase I

human clinical trial. The

Phase I trial showed that

BCG is safe in individuals

with type 1 diabetes, can

eliminate the pancreasdestroying

T cells, and can

temporarily restore the ability

of the pancreas to produce

insulin. The next step,

a Phase II study, is currently

being planned to identify

Mark Borseth, engineering

pipe for storm water in that

area. That pipe would have

enabled storm water to flow

from the underpass to an

holes for that project, the

Missouri firm encountered a

Letter to Dave

Dear Dave,

I just got done working on

the corral in my best regular

clothes. It reminds me of

how some of my best work is

done without preparation

and without proper work

clothes. I know of people

who won't pull a weed from

their garden without special

gloves or a hat. I am quite

the opposite as I often move

cattle from paddock to paddock

in a T-shirt, boxers and

“Castle” snowmobile boots.

Well, Dave, I don't know

what you can do with the

information in the preceding

paragraph, but there it is.

Last month's visit at your

home in Carrington, N.D.,

bore a high-happiness-density

rating for me. I guess

what I mean to say is though

I was only in town for about

an hour, it was really fun. I

like eating at that same

diner as the English muffins

are a good 30 percent larger

than the norm. I was surprised

that the prices have

not increased what with the

increased traffic flow

derived from the increased

oil flow out West. I'm not

sure who has done what in

your backyard, but a couple's

efforts are always to be

praised in equal amounts, so

I will just say that you and

Mary have made the area

between your home and the

outskirts of Carrington

quite lovely. I wish I had

taken pictures for Lisa as

my description could not

accurately describe the

detail and colors.

We are well into harvest

now, Dave. I don't mean

myself as I only have cattle

and see combines as merely

roving reasons for repair. I

see a lot of people hitting the

wheat fields and I can't say

much about the barley as I

haven't seen a lot of it. We

need another month of good

sun to make the corn crop,

and a little rain wouldn't

hurt either. Our cattle are

still on pasture, but without

some moisture, we will close

the shutters in mid-

September. I always like

having cattle into the fall,

but it will be an early goodbye

without rain.

I rarely will say a project

is finished. There is always

room for subtle change and

improvement and that is

what I am doing today,

Dave. Last year, I built my

cattle crowding tub out of a

grain bin and attached it to

my alley, which now leads to

the squeeze chute I purchased

after our visit last

month. The alley was too

wide, so I narrowed it this

week by adding two-by-six

treated boards. This whole

outfit has been put together

mostly from others’ cast-offs,

but I am quite proud of it

and have incorporated the

best of what I've seen in

manufactured units. I like to

look at my successful projects

whenever I doubt

myself and this cattle-handling

facility has now made

that list.

I just re-read that first

paragraph. I hope Lisa isn't

embarrassed now that

everyone knows I move cattle

in my boxers. This is

what I meant in those first

72 words, Dave. People like

to plan and ready themselves

for the offerings of

life. I feel it is best to

remember that life is short

and to just accept what is

available as you are and as

the situation exists. A good

plan today beats a great

plan tomorrow. Sometimes

you hit the ball square and

get a home run, but the

game of life needs a batter

who can hit for singles, doubles

and even occasionally

leg-out an ugly hit. The best

way to enjoy life is to live ittoday.

Enough philosophy,

apparently I watched too

much “Duck Dynasty” last

night; sometimes Phil really

inspires me.
