unlikely for assisted 

living project 

Warren - “City 

Administra-tor Shannon 

Mortenson informed the 

council that because of the 

timing of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture 

funding, it is highly unlikely 

the city will receive funding 

this year for the assisted living 

project. 

“Mortenson said USDA 

representatives were in 

Warren on June 21 to discuss 

Warren’s loan application 

for an assisted living 

facility. They visited with 

Mortenson, Warren 

Economic Development 

Board members and Karl 

Frigaard, Warren economic 

developer. Some followup 

items need to be completed 

in the loan application 

process. 

“The city will plan for a 

spring construction timeline 

if everything goes well with 

USDA funding, according to 

Mortenson.” - Warren Sheaf,

Olson leaves a 

lasting legacy with 

many laughs 

Roseau - “Bruce ‘Ole’ 

Olson – a local social lion, 

beloved coach, gifted athlete, 

legendary hunter and 

angler, and devil-may-care 

character who regaled 

friends and virtual 

strangers with his wit and 

charm – was remembered at 

noon Saturday at the 

Roseau High School gymnasium. 

“Olson died Tuesday, 

June 26, less than three 

weeks after he was diagnosed 

with pancreatic cancer. 

He was 55. 

“They came from every 

direction and stood in long 

lines to get into the RHS 

gymnasium. It was a study 

in contrasts with a sea of 

black and gold Warroad 

Warrior jerseys standing 

respectfully to get into the 

Roseau Ram gymnasium, 

where green and white are 

the home colors. Not that it 

mattered. 

“Olson, who had coached 

the Roseau Rams to the 

1999 Class 2A state hockey 

title, later coached at the 

University of North Dakota 

and Bemidji State 

University before coming 

back home to Warroad for

No confidence in administrator 

Majority of TRF city employees have no confidence in city administrator 

by April Scheinoha 

Reporter 

Sixty-nine of 73 city employees 

have no confidence in City 

Administrator Jodie Torkelson’s 

prior service or her continuing 

service in that capacity in Thief 

River Falls. 

Four employees, Mike 

Spears, Brian Jacobson, John 

Cervantes and Seth Vettleson, 

brought the vote of no confidence 

to the Thief River Falls 

City Council on Tuesday, July 3. 

Spears said he was elected to 

read the resolution as a representative 

of the city’s employee 

groups. He noted the resolution 

was developed by the employees’ 

legal counsel. 

Spears began reading the resolution, 

stating “Whereas Jodie 

Torkelson is the current city 

administrator … ” 

Mayor Steve “Beaver” 

Nordhagen then cut Spears off, 

Fireworks at City Council meeting 

indicating the council needed to 

review the matter. He said it is 

a personnel matter and needed 

to be discussed in a closed meeting. 

(Typically, the council initially 

discusses personnel matters 

in committee. If needed, 

those matters are then later 

addressed by the full council. 

The council meeting wasn’t 

closed.) 

Nordhagen then asked 

Council Member Glen Kajewski, 

chairperson of the Ad-Hoc 

Personnel and Labor 

Committee, when the committee 

could meet. Kajewski noted that 

date would be forthcoming. In 

an interview Thursday with the 

Northern Watch, Kajewski said 

he expected the meeting would 

be held sometime next week or 

the following week. 

The matter wasn’t placed on 

the council agenda until the last 

minute. According to Kajewski, 

the employees contacted 

Nordhagen about being on the 

agenda and didn’t state why 

they wished to address the 

council. Kajewski said the 

employees didn’t provide a copy 

of the resolution to the council 

members. 

The resolution 

The Northern Watch and 

Thief River Falls Radio both 

obtained copies of the resolution. 

The resolution stated that, 

over the course of her employment 

with the city, Torkelson 

“has displayed a management 

and leadership style which can 

best be described as abrasive, 

dictatorial, disrespectful, corrosive, 

vindictive, intimidating, 

adversarial, difficult and overly 

controlling.” It also noted that 

those characteristics may have 

served her well in her past jobs 

in Washington, D.C. but shouldn’t 

be tolerated here. 

The resolution further stated 

that city employee morale is at 

Real fireworks at Seven Clans 

The fireworks display at Seven Clans Casino near Thief River Falls attracted a large crowd. It was a 

spectacular way to spend the Fourth of July. 

an all-time low. It indicated that 

Torkelson’s management and 

leadership style has cost the city 

“considerable amounts of wasted 

money, time and resources, 

including, but not necessarily 

limited to, attorney’s fees and 

related expenses, wasted staff 

time and wasted City Council 

time, in dealing with and 

addressing unnecessary and 

petty issues and conflicts which 

have been caused by the city 

administrator’s abrasive, dictatorial, 

disrespectful, corrosive, 

vindictive, intimidating, adversarial, 

difficult and overly 

micromanaging leadership and 

management style.” 

Furthermore, the resolution 

indicated that the employees 

were forced to have a vote of no 

confidence in Torkelson due to 

their low morale, the ongoing 

conflict and adversarial climate 

existing in city government, and 

the fallout of having to cope 

with these disputes caused by 

Torkelson’s management and 

leadership style. 

Torkelson has worked as the 

city administrator since October 

2003. Over the past year, two 

specific matters involving disputes 

between city employees 

and Torkelson have been 

brought to the media’s attention. 

The Northern Watch contacted 

Torkelson about the matter. 

She declined to comment. 

However, Kajewski wished to 

speak about the matter. Without 

being contacted, he went to the 

Northern Watch’s office 

Thursday. He said he was disappointed 

in the employees’ 

actions. He added that none of 

them individually or as a group 

came to the committee to discuss 

their concerns. Kajewski 

said the committee is always 

open and willing to discuss 

issues with the employees.

Former TRF 

resident writes 

fantasy novel 

“Jeremy drew back his sword 

like a batter waiting for the 

pitch. His attackers slammed 

their knobby shoulders together, 

their swords at the ready. 

Jeremy charged. The Lead 

Guard met his attack, his teeth 

bared in a snarl. Jeremy swung 

his sword. Clang!” 

Children’s author Kathryn 

Dahlstrom offers plenty of 

action in “Children of Angels,” 

the first book in the New 

Nephilim series for 9-to-14- 

year-old readers. “I put as much 

fun as possible in this story,” she 

says. “Lots of humor, lots of 

exciting action.” 

Dahlstrom is the daughter of 

Roy and Dorothy Shetler, and 

sister to brothers Tom and Dave 

Shetler. The family lived three 

miles south of Thief River Falls 

on Highway 32, and she graduated 

with honors from Lincoln 

High School in 1977. She won 

the Miss Thief River Falls 

Scholarship Pageant in 1977 

and competed in the Miss 

Minnesota Pageant of 1978 

where she was named a Top Ten 

Finalist.

Tough Mudder attracts athletes to unique challenge 

by Scott DCamp 

Reporter 

Current Newfolden resident 

Lori Lindholm and former 

Newfolden resident Nathan 

Bennett were participants in 

the Twin Cities Tough Mudder – 

a weekend-long 

event held May 19- 

20 at the Somerset 

Ampitheater in 

Somerset, Wis. 

Tough Mudder 

events are hardcore 

10- to 12-mile 

obstacle courses 

that are designed 

by British Special 

Forces to test a 

p a r t i c i p a n t ’ s 

strength, stamina, 

determination and 

camaraderie. 

Bennett said he 

first heard about the unique 

challenge through a Facebook 

ad. 

“It was a military obstacle 

course that was 12 miles, with 

22 to 23 obstacles,” Bennet said. 

“We went under 

barbed wire 

fences. Most of 

the time, I had 

mud in my 

mouth, in my 

nose and caked 

in my ears.” 

“The cool thing about it is Tough 

Mudder donates money to the 

Wounded Warrior Project.” 

Bennett, who works as an RN 

at Altru Health Systems in 

Grand Forks, N.D., got his 

chance to become a mudder 

when Tyler Wiegman, a coworker 

and experienced 

mudder, 

asked if he wanted 

to be part of the 

team “Will Run 

For Rum.” Bennett 

- Nathan Bennett 

then recruited 

Lindholm, a family 

friend, to be the 

team’s seventh 

member. 

Lindholm, a 

UPS employee and 

volunteer firefighter 

with the 

Newfolden Fire 

Department, first 

heard of the Tough Mudder 

events through an ad in 

Runners World. 

“I thought it looked cool – I’m 

into extreme sports,” said 

Lindholm, who is also contemplating 

an ultra marathon some 

day. 

Lindholm wasn’t always into 

extreme sports. The mother of 

five daughters between the ages 

of 4 and 16 started running 

three years ago. She was a 

sprinter and middle distance 

runner in high school, but 

longer distances were more 

appealing when she got back 

into running. 

Her comeback started with a 

fun run/walk with the 

Newfolden Fire Department in 

September 2009. From there, 

she progressed to a 5K in 

December 2009. After completing 

the 5K, she reasoned that 

she could complete a half 

marathon. In spring 2010, she 

completed her first halfmarathon, 

and for the past two 

years, she has run everything in 

between. 

Lindholm originally planned 

to run her first full marathon 

this year, but after hearing from 

Bennett that a Tough Mudder 

event would be held so close to 


Lori Lindholm, Newfolden, and Nathan Bennett, Grand 

Forks, N.D., participated in the May 19 Tough Mudder event 

in Somerset, Wis. Tough Mudder is a test of mental and 

physical toughness, not a competition. (Photo by Mike

Sherry LaCoursiere Pippin – email: lacours@mncable.net 

Recipes today are especially 

easy for summertime entertaining. 

They are from the Roseau 

County Historical Society’s 

75th Anniversary Cookbook 

from 2001. If you get the chance 

to buy one, do so. It is a wonderful 

cookbook. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Seems like I put one of 

these pizzas in the recipes 

every so often, but they are 

so nice to have for a quick 

supper on a hot day, especially 

now when you are 

about to get some of these 

vegetables locally or from 

your own gardens. They are 

really pretty to serve to 

guests or as an evening 

snack, and they’re yummy 

too. I’m sure you got this 

one last July too, but maybe 

you missed it or forgot how 

good it is: 

VEGETABLE PIZZA 

Eleanor Kramer 

2 packages refrigerated crescent 

rolls (press out to fit on 

a cookie sheet whatever size 

you want your pizza to be) 

4 ounce package cream cheese 

(let warm at room temp 

while letting crust cool to 

make it easy to spread) 

3/4 cup mayonnaise 

1 tablespoon dry Hidden 

Valley ranch dressing mix 

1/4 teaspoon pepper 

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt 

1 teaspoon dill weed 

Chopped celery 

Black olives 

Cauliflower 

Broccoli 

Mushrooms 

Tomatoes 

Onions 

Press roll dough to cover a 

cookie sheet. Dot with fork tines 

a few times. Bake 12 minutes at 

350 degrees. Cool. 

In bowl, mix cream cheese, 

pepper, garlic salt, mayonnaise, 

Hidden Valley mix and dill 

weed. Spread mixture on completely 

cooled crust. Top with 

fresh vegetables of choice or 

those suggested. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

I spent hours online looking 

for a recipe on how to 

make this type of coffee. 

And all the time here was a 

delicious recipe. I found 

others too and now make 

iced coffee all the time. 

When I gain 10 pounds I will 

quit, but until then… 

FRENCH ICED COFFEE 

Sheila Winstead 

3 cups strong coffee (Sheila says 

to make it using 4-5 cups 

water and 10 heaping teaspoons 

coffee, and perk about 

10 minutes.) 

2 cups sugar 

1 pint whipping cream 

1 quart whole milk 

2 teaspoons vanilla 

Dissolve sugar in hot coffee. 

Cool. Add other ingredients 

when coffee is cool. Pour into 

containers to freeze and then 

remove from freezer a couple of 

hours before serving. Should be 

served like slush or very icy and 

served with a small spoon. 

This recipe makes 18 punch 

cups. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

QUICK 

OVEN BAKED BEANS 

Delores Taus 

4 slices bacon 

1 (15 ounce) can pork and beans 

1/4 cup onion, chopped 

2 tablespoons molasses 

2 tablespoons brown sugar 

1 tablespoon mustard, prepared 

(not the dry kind) 

1 teaspoon Worcestershire 

sauce 

Heat oven to 350 degrees. 

Cook bacon until crisp. Drain 

and then crumble in 1 quart 

casserole or pot. Combine 

remaining ingredients and add 

to beans in pot. 

Bake 30-35 minutes, stirring 

once during cooking. (Recipe 

can be doubled.)

Can’t get much easier 

than this, and it will serve a 

bunch too:

2 teaspoons soda 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1 cup oil 

1 cup buttermilk 

2 eggs 

1 cup hot water 

In large bowl, combine all 

dry ingredients. Stir in oil, buttermilk 

and eggs. Add water 

and stir until combined (no 

need for mixer, but ok if you 

want to). Pour into greased 

9x13 inch cake pan. Bake at 

350 degrees for 35-40 minutes 

or until toothpick near center 

comes out clean. Cool completely 

and frost, or cake can be 

served as is or with ice cream or 

whipped cream. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

My cousin says she loves 

this easy-to-make frosting: 

CHOCOLATE FROSTING 

Lillian Nelson 

originally from Edla 

(Mrs. Adolph) Erickson 

1 cup sugar 

5 tablespoons butter or margarine 

1/3 cup milk 

1 cup (6 ounce package) semisweet 

chocolate chips 

Boil sugar, butter and milk 

for 1 minute, stirring constantly. 

Remove from heat and add 

chocolate chips, stirring until 

smooth. Frost cooled cake. 

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 

These bars can be served 

as is with just the brown 

sugar, cinnamon and nuts 

for topping, or the sauce can 

be served over the slices of 

cake. Of course ice cream 

and/or whipped cream 

would be good too, no matter 

what it tops. I think I 

would double this recipe to 

bring on a picnic and use 

one of those large pans (bigger 

than a 9x13) inch pan. 

Just remember to bake until 

the cake tests done:

Grygla man killed in 

accident Thursday 

A Grygla man was killed 

Thursday after a two-vehicle 

accident in the city of Thief 


Wayne Konickson, 68, was a 

passenger in one of the two vehicles 

involved in the collision on 

Highway 32 near the intersection 

with Greenwood Street. 

Police Chief Kim Murphy said 

Konickson’s wife, Maria, was 

also injured and taken to a hospital. 

Her status wasn’t available 

as of presstime Friday 

morning. 

The other driver, Steven 

Kloety of Thief River Falls, 

reported no injuries. 

Murphy said the preliminary 

investigation found that Maria 

Konickson was driving a 

Chrysler van on Highway 32 

and apparently fell asleep. Her 

van then crossed the centerline. 

Kloety, who was driving a truck 

owned by Northwest Beverage, 

tried to avoid the collision, but 

the vehicles collided anyway. 

Murphy indicated police have 

requested the assistance of the 

Minnesota State Patrol to reconstruct 

the accident. He noted 

the accident reconstruction was 

supposed to occur Friday morning 

Ṫhe accident was reported at 

3:05 p.m. Thursday. Traffic was 

rerouted for at least an hour and 

a half.

Feeling Stretched as a Caregiver? 

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an educational series designed 

to provide you with the tools you need to take care of yourself. 

This program helps family caregivers reduce stress, improve 

self-confidence, communicate feelings better, balance their lives, 

increase their ability to make tough decisions and locate helpful 

resources. 

Classes consist of six sessions held once a week. Two 

experienced Class Leaders conduct the series (many are 

experienced caregivers themselves, who have successfully applied 

the techniques they teach). Interactive lessons, discussions and 

brainstorming will help you take the “tools” you choose and put 

them into action for your life. 

You will receive a book, The Caregiver Helpbook, developed 

specifically for the class. A donation of $25.00 to help defray the 

cost of the book is suggested, but not required to attend the class. 

Classes will be held at Riverside Terrace, 

225 LaBree Ave. S, Thief River Falls, MN 

from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm. 

Sessions are held every Wednesday and begin on July 25th. 

For more information or to register, 

contact Senior LinkAge Line® at 1-800-333-2433. 

Class size is limited and pre-registration is required.

Sheriff’s office 

investigates 

incident in Salol 

An intoxicated Salol man sustained 

numerous cuts to his arm 

after he allegedly broke the window 

of another person’s home 

and attempted to gain entry to 

the home June 30. 

The occupant called the 

Roseau County Sheriff’s Office 

at about 5 a.m. A Border Patrol 

officer was a short distance 

away, and the sheriff’s office 

requested that person to 

respond. 

Upon arriving at the scene, 

officers found Chad Corneliusen 

at the door of the home in Salol, 

according to the sheriff’s office. 

He allegedly appeared to be 

highly intoxicated. He was subdued, 

and an ambulance was 

called to treat Corneliusen’s 

cuts. 

The sheriff’s office continues 

to investigate the incident.

King of the Road 

I’m not one of those people 

who go to the lake and read a 

book. Summer exists to prepare 

for winter; it is not my playtime. 

However, when I find a person 

or event that interests me, I buy 

the book. This week, I want to 

tell you about the book “King of 

the Road” by Alex Debogorski, 

star of the History Channel’s 

“Ice Road Truckers.” 

Debogorski is famously 

known as the trucker with the 

big laugh who prays and sings 

as he crosses vast stretches of 

frozen countryside in his semi 

tractor-trailer combination. I 

like him because he has lived 

enough that he doesn’t have to 

show off or prove something. He 

is just himself. 

Much of the book deals with 

Debogorski’s life before trucking. 

His father was imprisoned 

in a Russian gulag in Poland 

until the pact between Nazi 

Germany and Russia broke 

prior to Russia’s entry into 

World War II. Stalin opened the 

gulags as a sign of good faith 

and Debogorski’s father scattered 

through the woods to later 

join the Allies as a paratrooper. 

Debogorski’s mother, and her 

family, hid Jewish residents of 

Poland during World War II and 

later smuggled them to safety. 

Debogorski is conservative and 

hates both fascism and communism. 

Debogorski, the trucker, is 

probably much more familiar to 

the public. He has spent his life 

driving massive coal trucks (like 

a huge Tonka toy) and tractortrailer 

combinations. He also 

has prospected for gold, driven a 

taxi, operated a gravel business, 

been a bouncer and even farmed 

a little … often all at the same 

time. Debogorski has 11 children 

and has been married to 

Louise for the past 40 years.

Reflections 

Grant Nelson 

The comments published in this column are intended to stimulate 

thinking and discussion among our readers. They are written 

by independent columnists and do not represent the opinion 

of the staff or management of The Times/Northern Watch. 

“King of the Road” is like listening 

to my Grandpa Zavoral, 

who was kind of coarse but 

spoke about real life. 

Debogorski talks about life 

without any cute words and he 

does not blush when he speaks 

of life’s more earthy matters. If 

you are part of the politically 

correct crowd, then this book 

might be a little too real for you. 

Debogorski laughs out loud 

without care for who is watching 

but also listens for the other 

guy’s perspective. He offers a 

hand to those he sees as life’s 

victims, human and otherwise. 

Some of his best stories involve 

rescues of damsels and truckers 

in distress. 

“King of the Road” is available 

from all the regular 

Internet outlets and I only paid 

about $6 for it to be delivered. If 

you like Debogorski on “IRT” 

then you’ll like the book as it is 

such an easy read; it’s just a 

bunch of stories with letters 

written by his family to add 

depth and substance. 

I have a favorite quote from 

Debogorski that I will paraphrase 

for length. “Someone is 

always watching and listening 

to you; it’s not always the big 

things we do in life that influence 

people. Sometimes, it’s the 

small things you don’t even 

notice yourself. Every day you 

go out into the world, you are 

like a big stone hitting the surface 

of water - the ripples go out 

in big circles, but the stone is 

unaware of them.” 

That is just a sample of some 

of the philosophy found in the 

book, and the stories contained 

inside it will make you question 

how this man lived so long to 

understand so much. It is the 

perfect summertime read in 

between sessions of mowing 

grass at the lake.

Wildlife Drive opens at Roseau River WMA 

The 29-mile Wildlife Drive 

through the Roseau River 

Wildlife Management Area, 

located 20 miles northwest of 

Roseau, will open to vehicular 

travel from July 14-22 and 

weekends thereafter through 

Aug. 19. 

The drive traverses wetland, 

woodland, brushland and farmland 

habitats, providing visitors 

ample opportunity for wildlife 

viewing. The Roseau River 

WMA is one of the viewing stops 

along the Pine to Prairie 

Birding Trail, which consists of 

45 sites spanning a 223-mile 

corridor from pine-to-prairie in 

northwestern Minnesota. These 

sites offer some of the most spectacular 

birding in the state, 

along with scenic beauty and 

friendly communities, the DNR 

said. 

The viewing route also cuts 

Princeton man 

injured in 

accident June 30 

A Princeton man was injured 

in an early morning accident 

June 30 in rural Roseau County. 

A sheriff’s deputy found 44- 

year-old Clifton Fromer lying 

near the accident scene. 

According to the sheriff’s office, 

Fromer was transported to 

LifeCare Medical Center in 

Roseau for treatment of his 

injuries. 

At the time of the accident, 

Fromer was driving a 2000 

Chevy Lumina eastbound on 

Highway 11 at about 2:47 a.m. 

June 30. The vehicle then 

entered the north ditch and 

rolled. 

Roseau Ambulance, the 

Roseau Fire Department, the 

Minnesota State Patrol and 

Roseau Police Department also 

responded to the scene. The 

State Patrol and sheriff’s office 

continue to investigate the accident 

pending charges. 

Daytime residential 

burglaries reported 

in Polk County 

The Polk County Sheriff ’s 

Office responded to two daytime 

residential burglaries in rural 

Fosston on Monday. 

The suspect approached the 

residences and if no one was 

home, individuals would enter 

the home. If someone were 

home, the suspects had a story 

about why they were there, for 

example, a vehicle overheated, 

they were looking for a different 

home or they lost their dog. 

The sheriff’s office reminds 

residents to secure their homes 

and properties and to be aware 

and make note of unfamiliar 

people in the area. 

If anyone has encountered 

similar incidents, they are 

urged to contact the sheriff’s 

office at 218-281-0431. 

through the northern reaches of 

the Juneberry 3 wildfire, a costly 

and dangerous wildfire that 

burned an area in excess of 

30,000 acres in October 2011. 

The burned area is now covered 

with a lush growth of grasses, 

wildflowers and woody plants. 

The fire opened up stands of 

woody vegetation, creating new 

foraging sites for birds and 

mammals and improving nesting 

cover for a wide array of 

birds for years to come. 

Approximately 149 bird 

species breed within the Roseau 

River WMA. Yellow rails, 

horned grebes and Western 

grebes are a few of the rare 

breeding species found within 

the area’s vast wetlands. Along 

the drive, people may also 

encounter trumpeter swans, 

loons, white pelicans, sandhill 

cranes, great blue herons, 

eagles, a variety of ducks and 

other water birds, sedge wrens, 

yellow warblers, Nelson’s sharptailed 

sparrows, black bears, 

deer, beaver, otter, muskrat, red 

fox, gray wolf and the occasional 

moose. 

Aside from wildlife viewing 

opportunities, the WMA “pools” 

offer year-round northern pike 

fishing opportunities. Visitors 

typically fish along the dike 

roads or near the water control 

structures. When the dike roads 

are closed to motorists, visitors 

can bike to Pool 1 West or Pool 2 

from the parking areas. During 

the waterfowl hunting season 

only, motorboats of 10 horsepower 

or less may be used on 

the Roseau River WMA. 

Wildlife Drive can be easily 

accessed at the main dike road, 

located 1¾ miles south of the 

WMA headquarters on Roseau 

County Road 3. Only motor 

vehicles licensed for use on public 

highways are legally permitted 

to operate on this road. 

Motorists are urged to use caution 

due to narrow roads, soft 

shoulders, deep ditches and twoway 

traffic. The speed limit on 

all WMA roads is 20 mph. 

Visitors should note that 

Wildlife Drive may be closed due 

to inclement weather or road 

construction.

Take care of 

your pets in 

this heat, too 

Many of us spent the past several days 

inside air-conditoned rooms or in or near a 

body of water in an attempt to stay cool. 

While we may have had a choice about 

where we spent our time, pets don’t. 

The warmer summer weather we usually 

expect in late July arrived early … as have 

most of the other seasons this year. For the 

most part, we’ve met these changes with a 

bit of skepticism. When we had warmer 

weather in March, for example, we still 

expected a blizzard or two to come. When 

the blizzards didn’t arrive and green grass 

began to appear, nobody wanted to plant 

gardens before Memorial Day because experience 

told us anything planted before then 

would probably die in a late season freeze. 

Well, the people who did plant early are 

already enjoying the fruits of their labor. 

The heat and humidity in the last week of 

June felt like late July or August, and from

experience, we know how dangerous that 

weather can be. Many of us stayed close to 

places that were cool - air-conditioned 

rooms, and swimming pools or large bodies 

of water. These are some of the things we 

can do to avoid the dangers higher temperatures 

pose, but pets don’t have that option, 

so be sure to keep your furry companions in 

mind when the weather turns warmer. 

The ASPCA recommends making sure 

your pets have plenty of fresh, clean water 

when it’s hot outdoors. Make sure they have 

a shady place to get out of the sun and be 

careful not to over-exercise them, and to 

keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot. 

Never leave your animals alone in a parked 

vehicle. And, supervise your pets when in 

and around water. When the temperature is 

very high, don't let your dog linger on hot 

asphalt. Being so close to the ground, your 

pooch's body can heat up quickly, and sensitive 

paw pads can burn. Keep walks during 

these times to a minimum. 

There’s one more piece of advice I’d like to 

pass on: If your pets are on tie-outs, have 

someone check on them frequently to make 

sure they don’t get tangled in the tie-out.

Crop reporting deadline is before July 16 

The Pennington County 

Farm Service Agency Office 

reminds area producers that 

they must report their crop 

acres to the FSA County Office 

in order to be eligible for benefits 

under most FSA programs. 

The deadline to timely file an 

acreage report for the 2012 crop 

year is July 16. 

Some of the FSA programs 

that require an annual acreage 

reports include the Direct and 

Counter-Cyclical Program, Average 

Crop Revenue Election 

Program, Supplemental Revenue 

Assistance Program, 

Noninsured Crop Disaster 

Assistance Program, Loan 

Deficiency Payments, Marketing 

Assistance Loans, and 

Conservation Reserve Program. 

Acreage reports filed with FSA 

may also be useful to track cropping 

history for future FSA program 

enrollment under future 

Farm Bills. 

The Pennington County FSA 

Office provided acreage reporting 

maps to producers when 

they signed up for the 2012 DCP 

Program. A letter was attached 

to the maps informing producers 

what needs to be recorded on 

the maps before coming into the 

office to file their acreage report. 

If producers don’t have their 

acreage reporting maps, this 

probably means they have not 

yet signed up for the 2012 DCP 

Program. If this is the case, producers 

need to contact the FSA 

County Office as soon as possible 

to schedule an appointment 

to enroll in DCP and pick up 

their maps. 

Acreage reporting is done by 

appointments so when producers 

get their maps completed, as 

per the directions in the letter 

attached to their maps, they 

need to contact the FSA County 

Office to schedule an appointment 

to report their crop acres. 

Since planted acres reported 

to FSA and crop insurance must 

match, producers are encouraged 

to first file their acreage 

report with FSA. Once they 

have filed their acreage report 

with FSA, they will be given a 

copy of their acreage report to 

provide to their crop insurance 

agent to ensure that their planted 

acreages match. 

Producers with questions 

concerning acreage reporting 

requirements, or who need to 

schedule an appointment to 

report their acres, should contact 

their local FSA County 

Office or the Pennington County 

FSA Office at 681-1612 ext. 2 

before July 16.

Kick’n Up Kountry 

When Todd Thunstedt of 

ThunderMark Art arrived to sell 

his art at Kick’n Up Kountry 

this year, little did he know that 

he would be visited by a little 9- 

year-old girl by the name of 

Sydney Dorion. Sydney was in 

search of a present for her 

father for Father’s Day and 

after visiting the Kountry 

Korral and spending a lot of her 

money on things she really 

wanted for herself, she only had 

$12 left to spend on her father. 

Sydney found just what she 

wanted in a huge picture that 

included a picture of a motorcycle, 

which she knew her father, 

Cam Dorion, would just love. 

The picture was marked $129. 

Sydney told Todd she really 

wanted that picture for her 

father, but she didn’t have very 

much money left. Todd asked 

her how much she had and after 

cleaning out all the pockets in 

her purse, she came up with the 

$12 and Todd said he would take 

it. Of course, she was elated and 

scampered off to hide it so that 

her father would not see it 

before Father’s Day. 

When I found out about this 

ordeal, I emailed Todd 

Thunstedt and informed him 

that he had made one family 

very happy that day. I explained 

to him that Sydney is my niece, 

and that Pam (Peterson) Dorion 

is her mother and she is the 

granddaughter of Darrell and 

Pat Peterson of Lancaster. I also 

explained that she was riding 

her bike when she was 4 years 

old, hit a tree and wiped out. 

She complained of her eye hurting, 

but Pam just thought she 

had gotten sand in her eye. 

Because it kept hurting, she 

took Sydney in for an eye exam, 

and when they asked Pam, 

”How long has she been blind in 

that eye?”, she knew it was 

much more serious. They traveled 

to Minneapolis where she 

was diagnosed with 

Retinoblastoma, which is a rare, 

cancerous tumor of a part of the 

eye called the retina. Her eye 

was removed and she was fitted 

with a glass eye. Some symptoms 

of Retinoblastoma are that 

the pupil may appear white or 

have white spots. A white glow 

in the eye is often seen in photographs 

taken with a flash. 

Instead of the typical “red eye” 

from the flash, the pupil may 

appear white or distorted. Other 

symptoms can include: Crossed 

eyes, double vision, eyes that do 

not align, eye pain and redness, 

poor vision, and differing iris 

colors in each eye. Needless to 

say, Sydney does very well today 

and the family continues to 

travel to Minneapolis for regular 

check-ups. 

Within this story is a lesson: 

Everyone needs to have their 

children go through eye exams 

early as Retinoblastoma happens 

to children under 4 years of 

age. As Pam states, and I quote, 

“Eye check-ups are not just for 

glasses.” 

In visiting with Todd about 

Sydney’s diagnosis, he said I 

had made his day and that he is 

a sucker for cute little girls. In 

conclusion, Kick’n Up Kountry 

has made the day for many children 

like Sydney with the 

Hopes, Dreams & Smiles program 

and I am proud to be able 

to host this event and I am 

thankful for Sydney’s continued 

health and the ability to “make 

a deal.” 

Sydney Dorian, 9, Lancaster, 

experienced a little love and 

understanding from an unexpected 

source at the Kickn’ Up 

Kountry Music Festival this 

year. When Sydney was 4, she 

was diagnosed with 

Retinoblastoma, which is a 

rare, cancerous tumor of a part 

of the eye called the retina.

No confidence in administrator 

(Continued from Page 1) 

Kajewski further noted he 

was frustrated that the employees 

were taking the issue to the 

media and to the full council, 

where they would have a forum. 

If the council had employed the 

same strategy for this issue, he 

said the council may have been 

in violation of the Fair Labor 

Standards Act. Kajewski said he 

thought the criticisms of 

Torkelson were unfair, but he 

said some of the criticisms may 

be justified. 

Human resources 

specialist position 

One of the latest disputes 

involving Torkelson and some 

city employees pertained to giving 

an employee a raise for a 

new position even though the 

council hadn’t voted on the matter. 

On Feb. 14, 2011, the council 

approved restructuring the 

Administrative Services 

Department, which is overseen 

by Torkelson. As part of the 

restructuring, the payroll/secretary 

position was changed to a 

human resources specialist position. 

LeAnn Engelstad works in 

that position. 

Given the amount of changes 

to the job description, the matter 

was referred to the city’s consulting 

firm of Fox Lawson. 

However, the issue was never 

brought back to the council until 

about five months later. At that 

time, Mike Puetz, a sergeant 

with the Thief River Falls Police 

Department, brought the matter 

to the council’s attention. He 

said Engelstad had received the 

raise without council approval. 

Her salary increased from 

$47,507.20 to $58,440. At the 

time, the council was also in the 

midst of negotiations with various 

labor unions. 

During the meeting, 

Torkelson said that she had 

authorized the pay increase. 

She acknowledged that she had 

failed to bring the matter back 

to the council in April 2011. 

After the council learned of 

the issue, it voted 7 to 1 to 

change the Grade Level 6 pay 

designation for the position. 

Council Member Floyd Erickson 

voted in opposition. Under the 

designation, the position was 

salaried at $58,440 per year, 

retroactive to Tuesday, April 19, 

2011. 

Grievance 

Later that year, a grievance 

was filed with the city. In summer 

2011, the Management, 

Administrative, Professional 

and Supervisory Employees 

union brought forward the 

grievance on behalf of Falls 

Liquor Manager Steve Olson. 

The matter was brought to the 

media’s attention in June 2012 

after it was placed on the council’s 

agenda. 

In a prior interview, Olson 

told the Northern Watch that he 

had taken five hours of flex time 

on July 18, 2011. He said he had 

worked those five hours earlier. 

Later, two-and-a-half hours 

were taken off of his vacation 

time since he had left work. 

RiverView Health introduces 

Rapid Track Program 

RiverView Health’s 

Emergency Department will 

replace urgent care services 

with a new 24-hour program 

called Rapid Track. Patients visiting 

the emergency department 

on the main campus in 

Crookston will still get the same 

great service they always have, 

with no restricted hours for 

lower-intensity care. 

Rapid Track is available 

around the clock for basic conditions 

that could normally be 

treated in a clinic setting. As 

before, any patient that comes 

into the Emergency Department 

will be assessed and treated for 

the level of care needed at that 

time. 

Rapid Track does not take the 

place of your family physician. If 

follow-up care is required, you 

will be referred to your family 

physician or a list of physicians 

will be made available to you if 

you do not already have one. 

Building a relationship with a 

primary care provider helps you 

to manage your own health and 

may decrease the need for emergency 

care down the road. 

As a reminder, RiverView 

Health offers a pediatric walk in 

clinic on the main campus in 

Crookston from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. 

Monday through Friday. 

Children may be seen for a variety 

of acute care needs, such as: 

• Cough/cold 

• Ear pain

Essentia Health, Fosston 

offers childbirth classes 

The birth of a baby can be one 

of the most exciting moments in 

a family’s life and Essentia 

Health, Fosston, wants to help 

parents prepare for this special 

time, by offering Prepared 

Childbirth Classes, starting 

Wednesday, July 11. 

The course will run five consecutive 

Wednesdays from 7 to 9 

p.m. in the education room at 

Essentia Health, Fosston. The 

class is led by Char Jevning, 

RN. Char is certified in OB 

Education and has been a member 

of the Essentia Health 

Hospital Nursing Staff for eight 

years. 

Class topics include what to 

expect during the late stages of 

pregnancy, the three stages of 

Olson then notified the union. 

He said there had never been a 

problem with taking flex time in 

the past and now, suddenly, that 

option was taken away. 

In many occupations, 

salaried employees are able to 

take time off during the normal 

workday since they work outside 

of what other people consider 

to be normal working hours. 

This is called flex time. 

After the grievance was filed, 

the MAPS union and the Ad-Hoc 

Personnel and Labor Committee 

began meeting to settle the 

grievance. In June 2012, it 

appeared that the groups had 

reached a tentative agreement. 

Olson said MAPS signed and 

approved the memorandum of 

understanding prior to the June 

5, 2012, council meeting. 

Under the agreement, each 

employee would be required to 

notify the city administrator 

once he or she wishes to take 

flex time. The flex time would 

then be recorded on the time 

card. It also noted what would 

happen if the city administrator 

challenged the use of flex time. 

In addition, the memorandum 

noted that the city would 

reinstate two-and-a-half hours 

of Olson’s vacation hours. It also 

indicated that a letter signed by 

Kajewski wouldn’t be added to 

Olson’s personnel file. Olson 

declined to indicate what that 

letter said. 

Four days before the matter 

was set to be discussed by the 

council, the MAPS union 

learned the committee had created 

a work schedule policy. 

That policy would have clarified 

the work schedules and related 

issues pertaining to employees 

exempt from the Fair Labor 

Standards Act. 

With regard to flex time, the 

policy indicated, “If an FLSA 

exempt employee works extra 

hours due to unique circumstances, 

he or she may take reasonable 

time off other than paid 

leave time during their normal 

working hours if operationally 

feasible to do so. Such time off 

may not be taken on more than 

one calendar day per circumstance 

giving rise to the time off 

and it must be taken no later 

than the last day of the pay period 

subsequent to the pay period 

of the day of the circumstance 

giving rise to the time off. The 

time off taken pursuant to this 

policy shall not be on a one-forone 

basis nor may it be accumulated. 

The employee must 

record all time off taken pursuant 

to this policy on his or her 

time sheet. FLSA exempt 

employees must record on their 

timecards the time they begin 

and end their workday as well 

as time taken off during the 

workday.” 

The union learned of the policy 

upon receiving the council’s 

agenda packet the Friday before 

the council meeting. At that 

time, the union notified its labor 

attorney, Mitchell Brunfelt. 

Olson said Brunfelt then told 

the city that the matter had 

labor, postpartum recovery, and 

how to care for your newborn. 

Car seat safety and infant CPR 

will also be included in the 

course. 

This class is designed for 

both, first time and experienced 

parents, in their final trimester 

of pregnancy. Essentia Health, 

Fosston offers Prepared 

Childbirth Classes quarterly 

(January, April, July, and 

October.) For more information

never been discussed with the 

union nor had the policy been 

negotiated with the union. As 

such, Brunfelt noted in his letter 

that this policy was an 

unfair labor practice and was in 

violation of state statute. Olson 

said Brunfelt indicated that if 

the city proceeded, the city 

would be sued in district court 

for unfair labor practices. 

The city’s attorney then told 

the city to take the matter off of 

its agenda. Torkelson notified 

Ken Schmalz, who was acting as 

vice mayor at that council meeting. 

During the meeting, 

Schmalz said the council was 

pulling the two items from the 

agenda after receiving communication 

from its attorney. 

A month later, the matter 

still hasn’t been officially 

resolved.

home, she opted to wait a little 

while longer to conquer the 

marathon. 

“I’m glad I picked [Tough 

Mudder]; Fargo is always going 

to be there,” Lindholm reasoned. 

Bennett and Lindholm 

trained differently for the Tough 

Mudder. Bennett began his 

training the same way he would 

for a half-marathon. He added 

some weight training but 

admits that he didn’t prepare as 

well as he should have. 

Because she had been training 

for a marathon, the 11.5- 

mile distance of the Somerset 

course didn’t bother Lindholm. 

She also added Beachbody’s 

Insanity workout, but even that 

combination wasn’t enough to 

prepare her for the Tough 

Mudder. 

“I think I could have been a 

little more prepared, but how do 

you scale an 18-foot wall for 

practice?” Lindholm said. “You 

don’t expect all the mud either. I 

got gloves, but the mud was so 

thick that it got stuck in the 

gloves and made them slippery.” 

“Just like the name said, 

there was a lot of mud,” Bennett 

said. “We went under barbed 

wire fences. Most of the time, I 

had mud in my mouth, in my 

nose and caked in my ears.” 

Tough Mudder requires its 

participants to scale walls and 


Dahlstrom earned an 

Associate of Arts degree from 

Northland Community College 

in 1979 and a Bachelor of 

Science degree in vocal music 

education from Bemidji State 

University in 1981. 

In June of 1981, she married 

Tim Dahlstrom, also born and 

raised in Thief River Falls. He 

graduated from Lincoln High 

School in 1975 and from the 

University of North Dakota in 

1985. He's a software developer. 

The Dahlstroms live with 

Dorothy Shelter on 55 acres 

near Cambridge. Their daughter, 

Kristina, is a senior at 

Cambridge-Isanti High School. 

The Dahlstroms still have 

family in the Thief River Falls 

area: Kathryn’s brother Dave 

Shetler and his wife Laura, her 

brother Larry Shetler and his 

wife Darlene, Tim's brother 

Paul Dahlstrom and his wife 

Karen, and Tim's brother Jim 

Dahlstrom, his wife Jocey, and 

daughter Leah. 

Dahlstrom’s book is now 

available in paperback at 

www.winepressbooks.com and 

www.amazon.com. 

The fantasy series is based on 

the biblical mention of Nephilim 

in Genesis 6 and Numbers 13. 

When angels came to earth and 

took women as their wives, their 

children grew up to be Nephilim 

- “Heroes of old, men of renown.” 

Dahlstrom explains, “For me 

that was a fantasy up for grabs! 

I wondered what if the genes of 

the Nephilim resurfaced today 

in a kid? What if he could suddenly 

do everything an angel 

could do?” 

She isn’t worried about fictionalizing 

a biblical reference.

on Tuesday, July 10 at the

Kiss of Mud, like many of the 30 potential 

obstacles that could be featured in a Tough 

Mudder Event, forces participants to navigate 

their way through mud. The Kiss of Mud 

Tough Mudder attracts athletes to unique challenge 

cliffs, including a quarter pipe 

called “Everest,” and a muddy 

cliff appropriately called “Cliff 

Hanger;” crawl under objects 

through thick mud in “The Boa 

Constrictor,” and “Kiss of Mud;” 

navigate through frigid water in 

“Frozen Enema;” and more than 

a dozen other obstacles that test 

a participants mental and physical 

toughness. 

“I read online that you could 

be in great shape or have never 

worked out and either way it 

will still kick your butt,” 

Lindholm said. 

Team “Will Run For Rum” 

began its 11.5-mile Tough 

Mudder run at 11:40 a.m. on 

Saturday, May 19. They learned 

early that the extreme obstacle 

course is not a race. They completed 

the course in four hours. 

“It’s not a race; it’s a challenge,” 

Bennett said. “Every 20 

minutes, they were letting 600 

people go. They put everybody 

into this mosh pit and said you 

are going through this with 

these mudders. It is a teamwork 

thing. You give up time to 

help a teammate.” 

Some obstacles require individual 

determination, but the 

majority of obstacles are virtually 

impossible without teamwork 

or become much easier with the 

help of a teammate. 

Bennett said team members 

ran at their own pace. But when 

they reached an obstacle, they

weaponry. It reads like medieval 

sword fighting - sometimes taking 

place in mid-air, since the

However, Dahlstrom is aware 

that glorifying the occult can be 

a real danger with children’s 

fantasy. “Children of Angels 

does the opposite,” she says. 

“The fundamental truth in the 

story is that God is real, heaven 

exists, and Jesus Christ is who

would wait for each team member 

to complete the obstacle 

before moving on. 

For Lindholm, the 18-foot 

“Berlin Walls,” which are three 

18-foot wooden walls, and “Walk 

the Plank,” a 20-foot jump into 

freezing water, were the most 

difficult obstacles. 

Both Lindholm and Bennett 

enjoyed Tough Mudder’s variety 

of obstacles. 

“The running part got old, 

because it’s running,” Bennett 

said. “To get to the obstacles and 

the teamwork and comradery, 

that was the best part.” 

“It’s different than running 

out in the country,” Lindholm 

said. “It was challenging and I 

like to work hard and sweat.” 

The course actually featured 

two sets of “Berlin Walls,” a pair 

of 12-foot walls and a pair of 18- 

foot walls. The extreme nature 

of Tough Mudder showed its 

ugly side at the 18-foot set when 

a man who tried to scale a wall 

by himself slipped and snapped 

two bones in his leg. Because of 

their respective medical backgrounds 

and because they are 

good mudders, members of “Will 

Run For Rum” stayed with the 

man until help arrived. 

Camaraderie was evident 

throughout the team’s four

hours on the course. 

“It was incredible,” Lindholm 

said. “You think it’s going to be 

your team helping you but as 

soon as people see you struggle, 

they try to help.” 

Bennett is already planning 

to participate in a Tough 

Mudder event in Cascade, Wis., 

in September. He plans on 

preparing for his second Tough 

Mudder by doing crossfit workouts. 

He also hoping to raise 

some money for Tough Mudder’s 

favorite charity. 

“My goal is to get around to 

the local communties and get 

donations and hand a check to 

the Wounded Warrior 

Foundation,” Bennett said. 

Lindholm said she is done 

with Tough Mudders for this 

year. She is hoping to go again 

next year ... this time with her 

husband of 14 years, Mike; her 

running partner for the last 

three years, Bryan Maurstad; 

and if the course is close enough 

to home, she is hoping to recruit 

her fellow NARC (Newfolden 

Area Runners Club) members to 

try their hand at the ultimate 

physical and mental test. As far 

as her first marathon goes, 

Lindholm is hoping to race in

After a collision that knocked both the glove 

and the ball out of the hands of Red Lake 

County catcher Cole Larson, Thief River Falls 

runner J.C. Hansen reached out to touch 

home plate with the go-ahead run in the bottom 

of the sixth inning in the Bandits’ 4-3 

Monday American Legion baseball win. 

Hansen had doubled with two out to tie the 

game and scored from second on a single to 

center by Landon Sanders. 

Legion baseball match-up vs. Red Lake County... 

TRF rally nets 4-3 win 

There was still a little life left 

in the Thief River Falls 

American Legion baseball team. 

After dealing with the heat and 

humidity while playing five 

games in three days at the East 

Grand Forks Classic that 

wrapped up Sunday, the 

Bandits were right back on the 

field Monday for a match-up 

with Red Lake County at the 

Multi-Events Center. Trailing 3- 

1, the Bandits rallied for three 

runs in the bottom of the sixth 

to pull out a gutsy 4-3 win. 

It was scheduled to be a doubleheader, 

but coming off the 

busy weekend and because it 

was still oppressively hot and 

humid and the fact that his roster 

was shaved from 13 to nine 

players due to Fourth of July 

week vacations, Thief River 

Falls coach Courtney Skjerven 

had suggested it be changed to a 

single game. 

Red Lake County didn’t have 

a lot of depth, either, with one 

reserve. 

“The kids did a nice job,” said 

Skjerven. “We put some kids in 

different positions, and they 

came through.” 

The visitors quickly got on 

the scoreboard in the top of the 

first inning when lead-off batter 

Zack Landman singled to center, 

went to third on a combination 

stolen base/throwing error 

and scored on a two-out single to 

right by Sam Brule. 

Garrett Schmitz homered on 

the first pitch of the fourth 

inning to make it 2-0. 

Thief River Falls came up 

with a run in the fifth without 

the benefit of a base hit. A leadoff 

walk issued to J.C. Hansen 

and a two-base throwing error 

on a ball hit by Landon Sanders 

preceded a sacrifice fly by Peter 

Samuelson for a 2-1 game. 

Schmitz walked to open the 

sixth, stole second and went to 

third when a throwing error was 

tagged onto the play, then 

scored on a hard-hit double 

down the left field line by Cole 

Larson as Red Lake County 

rebuilt its two-run lead. 

Thief River Falls, however, 

won it in the bottom of the 

inning when No. 9 hitter Ian 

Lund drove a one-out triple into 

the left-center field gap and 

scored on a wild pitch. 

Brady Brooks reached on a 

two-out, two-base error. 

At that point, Schmitz was 

brought on to pitch in relief of 

Larson, the starter. He was 

greeted by a game-tying double 

to center by Hansen. 

Sanders singled to center and 

Hansen scored on the play by 

coming out on top of a big-body 

home plate collision with 

Larson, who took over catching 

duties after leaving the mound. 

Larson had the plate blocked as 

he tried to gain control on a latearriving 

throw. But Hansen 

knocked both the ball and the 

glove out of his hands, then 

touched the plate for the goahead 

run. 

The win went to Brooks, who 

took over for Sanders with one 

out in the sixth. 

“I thought Sanders threw 

well,” offered Skjerven. “He 

wasn’t always pretty, but he was 

effective. I figured Brooks had 

about two innings in him, and 

that’s what we got.” 

Hansen had a 3-for-3 game at 

the plate to lead a seven-hit 

Thief River Falls offense. 

“Lund got that big triple for 

us, and Hansen came up with 

three hits and the play at the 

plate at the end,” pointed out 

Skjerven. “J.C. caught a lot of 

innings on the weekend, and he 

still came out and got the job 

done tonight. I was proud of 

him.” 

Thief River Falls is 13-5. The 

Bandits play doubleheaders at 

Perham Monday and at East 

Grand Forks Tuesday before 

hosting Crookston in a 

Thursday twinbill that starts at 

5:30 p.m.

O-Mail messaging program 

expanded to all offenders 

A pilot project that allows 

inmates to receive printouts of 

email messages from family and 

friends is expanding from 

Shakopee and Oak Park 

Heights to all Minnesota 

Department of Corrections prisons. 

The Offender Messaging 

System (O-Mail) reduces incoming 

mail, which lowers the risk 

of contraband being sent into 

the facilities and allows for better 

surveillance and monitoring 

of offender correspondence. 

Because offenders do not have 

access to the Internet, messages 

are printed out and delivered 

with regular mail. 

“This is a great tool for us,” 

said Commissioner Tom Roy. 

“Not only does it reduce the risk 

of contraband sent into facilities, 

but we have heard good 

feedback from offenders and 

Incoming students awarded 

scholarships from BSU 

Bemidji State University has 

awarded scholarships to incoming 

students. The following local 

students were awarded scholarships: 

From Hallock – Michael 

Hanson, a $1,000 Academic 

Achievement Scholarship; from 

Red Lake Falls – Breanna 

Columbus, a $1,000 

Achievement Scholarship and a 

$1,000 Campus Honors 

Scholarship; from Roseau – 

Toia Starren, a $1,000 Academic
