Harmoning is 

new RLF mayor 

Red Lake Falls - 

Kevin Harmoning was 

appointed mayor of Red 

Lake Falls on Monday, 

Jan. 28. 

“Harmoning, the general 

manager of Homark 

Homes in Red Lake 

Falls, had come in second 

in last November’s 

election. He served as 

Red Lake Falls’ mayor 

in the past.” 

“The mayoral position 

had been declared 

vacant after Mayor- 

Elect 

Vaughn 

Thorfinnson resigned 

before taking office. 

Thorfinnson had also 

resigned as the sitting 

mayor in August. His 

name wasn’t removed 

from the ballot, and he 

went on to win the mayoral 

race.” - Red Lake 

Falls Gazette, Jan. 30, 

2013 

McIntosh Post Office 

hours to be cut 

McIntosh - “A meeting 

held Sunday, Jan. 13 

at the McIntosh Post 

Office made it official. 

The post office hours 

will be reduced to six 

hours each weekday. 

“After surveying the 

local community, the 

U.S. Postal Service 

found that out of 223 

local post office customers 

responding to 

the survey, 195, or 87 

percent, opted for a 

realignment of hours. 

Other options were having 

home delivery, setting 

up a village post 

office at a business in 

the city, or utilizing a 

nearby community’s 

post office.” 

“Pete Slabik, USPS 

manager of post office 

operations for District 5, 

said the decision was 

based on the amount of 

revenue earned locally, 

the amount of hours 

needed to get the work 

done, and saving the 

USPS money by cutting 

back nearly 40 hours 

each month.” - McIntosh

Greenbush - 

“Blooming Valley 

Outfitters, a wooded 

acreage in northwestern 

Roseau County, offers 

guided hunts and all the 

comforts necessary to 

the outdoor enthusiast. 

“Owners Larry and 

Donna Emery of rural 

Greenbush began their 

guiding business in the 

early 1980s during the 

season when moose 

hunting was allowed. A 

few years later, bear 

hunting became popular, 

and the Emerys 

have continued to offer 

services ever since.” -

Understanding 

the nicotine cycle 

of addiction 

by Scott DCamp 

Reporter 

In November, U.S. 

District Judge Gladys 

Kessler ordered tobacco companies 

to publish corrective 

statements that acknowledge 

that they lied about the 

addictiveness of cigarettes 

and nicotine. 

As part of that acknowledgement, 

tobacco companies 

will be required to 

launch a new advertising 

campaign in which they 

admit to lying about the 

addictiveness of nicotine. 

Mike Sheldon, communications 

manager at 

ClearWay Minnesota, said 

the key point is looking at 

how addictive cigarettes can 

be and understanding that 

the tobacco industry has 

spent quite a lot of money 

creating cigarettes that are 

addicting, and can get nicotine 

quickly to the brain. 

Sheldon said nicotine 

exposure creates a cycle of 

addiction inside the brain. 

When smokers inhale, nicotine 

travels from the lungs 

to the pleasure center of the 

brain in less than 10 seconds. 

High levels of 

dopamine are released, 

which provides the smoker 

with a euphoric feeling. 

“The more nicotine that 

goes in, the more dopamine 

receptors are created,” 

Sheldon said. Sheldon added 

that empty receptors crave 

more nicotine, which can 

cause a jittery feeling. 

Sheldon said the smoking 

rate in Minnesota has gone 

down, from 22 percent in 

1999 to 16 percent today. 

“It’s good news, but that’s 

still 625,000 that are smokers,” 

Sheldon said. “Smoking 

is still the leading cause of 

preventable death and disease 

in Minnesota.” 

In addition to being the 

cause of untimely death, 

smoking contributes to 

roughly $3 billion in medical 

costs each year in Minnesota 

and approximately 5,100 

adult deaths.

Minnesota Adult Tobacco 

Survey taken in 2010, more

Harry Anderson 

Puetz with a dislocated hip 

and a fracture. He has been 

unable to return to full 

police duties since that time. 

It appears the lasting effects 

of the assault will end 

Puetz’s law enforcement 

career. 

Tevan Lamar Gant, 22, 

was charged in Pennington 

County District Court with 

felony charges of third 

degree assault and fourth 

degree assault. The charges 

were filed Aug. 23. Gant was 

scheduled to make his first 

court appearance Monday, 

Dec. 3. However, he allegedly 

failed to appear for court 


Reporter 

A “Congrats Grad” sign 

hung above Harry 

Anderson’s table during his 

graduation ceremony. Only 

it was 73 years after he 

would have graduated from 

Stephen High School. 

“I can’t believe it,” 

Anderson, 90, said. 

Stephen/Argyle Central 

High School Principal Mark 

Kroulik presented Anderson 

with an honorary high 

school diploma Thursday, 

Jan. 24 at Valley Home in 

Thief River Falls. Anderson 

and a warrant was issued for 

his arrest. 

Naples News reported 

that Gant was arrested at 

his mom’s home in Fort 

Myers. The newspaper indicated 

that Gant moved there 

after his release from a mental 

health unit. 

Police Chief Kim Murphy 

said Puetz has been on light 

duty ever since the assault. 

Murphy added that Puetz 

plans to submit his resignation 

once all of his paperwork 

has been filed and 

accepted. 

Puetz declined to comment 

for this article. 

lives there now with his 

wife, Hazel. It was the first 

high school graduation ceremony 

held at the assisted 

living facility. 

Kroulik said Americans 

owe a lot to Anderson and 

other men and women who 

took the time to risk their 

lives and help preserve the 

freedoms Americans enjoy. 

On a lighter note, after presenting 

the honorary diploma, 

Kroulik said, “Harry can 

decide if he’s going to attend 

prom this spring.” 

Anderson celebrated his 

graduation by having cake 

and ice cream with family 

Customer Service Representative Susan 

Mosbeck (far left) and Thief River Falls

The charges stemmed 

from a Dec. 5, 2011, incident 

at Sanford Medical Center’s 

in-patient mental health 

unit in Thief River Falls. 

Puetz, Deputy Police Chief 

Craig Mattson, Sheriff ’s 

Investigator Blaize 

Zimmerman and Police 

Officer Ryan Bassett were 

dispatched there at about 

3:35 p.m. According to the 

complaint, they were told a 

doctor planned to sign a 72- 

hour hold on Gant and 

thought he would be uncooperative. 

Upon arriving, they saw 


members, friends, and members 

of Stephen American 

Legion Post 390 and Thief 

River Falls Veterans of 

Foreign Wars Post 2793. 

“It’s just remarkable,” 

said Anderson’s daughter 

Renae Seibel. “I’m glad that 

he was awarded this diploma 

through the veterans’ 

association because education, 

to him, is so very 

important and, to me, he is 

one of the smartest men I 

know.” 

Anderson graduated from 

the eighth grade at District 

63 School in Fork Township, 

Marshall County, in 1936. 

He then worked on the Eagle 

Point Township farm owned 

by his parents, Gust and 

Ella Anderson. 

Anderson joined the Navy 

in 1942. He said it was 

either be drafted or join the 

Navy. While in the military, 

Anderson served as a mortar 

machinist’s mate in the 

engine room of the USS 

Gilmore. He served in the 

North and South Pacific. 

Anderson said the USS 

Gilmore hit one Japanese 

submarine and had unconfirmed 

hits on other submarines.

Minnesota deer harvest 

declines 4 percent in 2012 

Minnesota hunters harvested 

184,649 deer during 

the 2012 season, down 4 percent 

from 2011, according to 

the Minnesota Department 

of Natural Resources. 

The decline reflects the 

fact that hunters had fewer 

chances to harvest antlerless 

deer because the 2012 

season was designed to help 

stabilize and increase populations, 

said Leslie 

McInenly, DNR big game 

program leader. “We expected 

the reduction,” she said. 

Firearms hunters harvested 

155,599 deer while 

archery and muzzleloader 

hunters harvested 21,556 

and 7,494 deer, respectively. 

The statewide archery harvest 

was up 5 percent, muzzleloader 

harvest increased 

1 percent and firearm harvest 

was down 5 percent 

from last year. 

The DNR will conduct 

aerial surveys over portions 

of the state later this winter. 

Population modeling, coupled 

with select aerial surveys, 

will be used to determine 

deer density. 

Management designations 

for 2013 deer permit areas 

will be determined once the 

new density estimates are 

compared to established 

population goals. 

“Hunters should pay close 

attention to the hunting 

synopsis, which comes out in 

mid-July, to see if they need 

to apply for a lottery eithersex 

permit,” McInenly said. 

The final deer harvest 

number is calculated using 

information provided by 

hunters when they register 

their deer. A final report, 

which includes more 

detailed harvest information, 

will be available online 

in the coming weeks at 

www.mndnr.gov/deer. 

For the 2013 season, the 

deadline for the either-sex 

permit application is 

Thursday, Sept. 5. Archery 

deer hunting begins 

Saturday, Sept. 14. 

Firearms deer season opens 

Saturday, Nov. 9. 

Muzzleloader season opens 

Saturday, Nov. 30. 

Minnesota Department of 

Natural Resources state forest 

nurseries are gearing up 

for their spring seedling 

sale. 

Millions of seedlings are 

available for the 2013 planting 

season, including 20 

species of native bareroot 

trees and shrubs grown from 

seeds collected in 

Minnesota. Seedlings vary 

in size from 6 to 18 inches in 

height. 

“Pines, spruces, oaks, 

maples, wildlife shrubs and 

much more are available 

with prices starting as low 

as 24 cents per piece,” said 

Craig VanSickle, nurseries 

supervisor. 

The state forest nurseries 

are taking orders now for 

April and May pickup or 

delivery. A minimum of 500 

seedlings must be ordered, 

which will cover approximately 

one acre of ground. 

Seedlings can be ordered by 

phone at 800-657-3767. 

Visit the DNR’s website 

a 

t 

www.mndnr.gov/forestry/nu 

rseries for a list of available 

species and to download the 

tree seedling order form. 

Seedlings can be used for 

reforestation, improving 

wildlife habitat, creating 

shelterbelts, developing 

green buffers to protect 

water quality and cleaning 

the air by removing carbon 

dioxide. 

By law, seedlings purchased 

from Minnesota 

state forest nurseries may 

not be planted for ornamental 

purposes, resold, given 

away or removed with roots 

attached for a period of 10 

years from the date of purchase 

and seedlings must be 

planted in Minnesota.

A taste for buttermilk 

Here’s a subject that 

doesn’t often occur organically 

in conversation - buttermilk. 

I mean, most people 

under the age of 40 recognize 

only buttermilk for its 

use in baking or maybe not 

at all. Do you know anyone 

who actually sits down and 

pours themselves a tall, cold 

one of buttermilk? I do. 

Buttermilk is really poorly 

named as there is little 

butter in it. Buttermilk is 

the fluid left after the solids 

have been churned out of 

milk and used in production 

of butter. Buttermilk has 

kind of a tart flavor due to 

the lactic acid that is left 

after the lactose in milk has 

been fermented. This acid is 

what causes the protein in 

milk to curdle and the fat 

easier to churn into butter. 

There are bacteria in buttermilk 

that seem to help maintain 

a healthy stomach, 

which is where a lot of 

healthy and unhealthy 

items get sorted out. 

My dad likes buttermilk, 

a lot of buttermilk. He has 

drank it as long as I can 

remember and has never 

had to worry that someone 

may have drank all of his 

buttermilk as most careful 

people would stop pouring 

as soon as their nose gave 

alarm to what was planned 

for the lips. 

Dad and I recently spoke 

of the origins of his taste for 

buttermilk. Dad was waiting 

in line at the Newfolden 

Elevator to dump a truckload 

of grain. Anyone who 

has ever sat in a line of 

trucks waiting to cross the

termilk and found it satisfied 

his thirst and his 

hunger. The cool, clear milk 

probably was good for his 

thirst, and the leftover milk 

solids probably had much to 

do with satisfying his 

hunger. Today, creameries 

sometimes add flecks of butter 

to mirror the old-style 

buttermilk but Dad would 

have been drinking the real 

stuff. My estimate is that 

this would have been somewhere 

in the early 1960s or 

so. I hadn’t tried buttermilk 

since I was a child, so I 

bought a pint. Lisa uses buttermilk 

in cooking and did 

so with a portion of the pint 

I purchased. I decided to 

taste what was left. It was 

an odd combination of 

creamy, sour and cheese 

overtones - all tastes that 

did not belong in the same 

room, yet were not too bad. I 

was mildly repulsed and 

considered the carton date 

but found it current. I soldiered 

on and could actually 

consider a continued relationship 

with the flavor and 

consistency. These both were 

not inviting enough to beckon 

me for repetition that 

evening; however, I do 

believe I will try a bit more 

this week. 

I suspect buttermilk was 

from a time when people 

used food more carefully and 

reverently. Our lives of plenty 

have caused us to pass by 

such food and made us 

unaware of the good of many 

of these foods. A recent trend 

in food is to sprout or ferment 

foods to amplify their 

inherent nutritional benefits, 

and buttermilk is a food 

that fits into this category. 

My dad always said buttermilk 

was good for his stomach, 

plus it is low in calories 

and apparently, tastes darn 

fine while it satisfies your 

thirst as you wait in line to 

dump grain

TRF Chamber seeks support 

for Jose Cole Circus tickets 

The Thief River Falls 

Chamber of Commerce is 

proud to announce its sponsorship 

of the Jose Cole 

Circus in Thief River Falls 

for 2013. 

The performance is 

scheduled for 7 p.m. 

Tuesday, April 2, at the 

Huck Olson Memorial Civic 

Center. The circus carries a 

variety of acts and performances 

that change from year 

to year and is guaranteed to 

entertain both the young 

and the young at heart. 

Jose Cole and the Thief 

River Falls Chamber of 

Commerce have set a goal of 

having as many children as 

possible enjoy the circus free 

of charge, so they are 

encouraging businesses and 

residents to buy tickets that 

can be distributed to area 

children. 

Upon purchase, individuals 

may distribute the tickets 

or the Chamber can distribute 

the tickets in the 

name of the business to area 

public schools, local daycares, 


Social Services, and others. 

At this time, the 

Chamber of Commerce is 

offering the children’s tickets 

at the following discount 

prices: 

Books of 10 tickets for $40 

($4.00/ticket); Books of 15 

tickets for $50 ($3.33/ticket); 

Books of 25 tickets for $65 

($3.25/ticket); Books of 30 

tickets for $78 ($2.60/ticket); 

or Books of 100 tickets for 

$105 ($2.60/ticket). 

During the week of Jan. 

28 – Feb. 6, area businesses 

can expect a phone call concerning 

sponsorship of 

advance children’s tickets. 

These advance tickets are 

only available the week of 

Jan. 28 – Feb. 6. No advance 

tickets will be sold after Feb. 

6. 

“We hope for your continued 

support of this fun event 

for our community,” said 

Cindy Krakkala, executive 

director of the Thief River 

Falls Chamber of 

Commerce. 

FSA reports changes to 

form 1099-G for producers 

The Pennington County 

Farm Service Agency office 

wants to inform area producers 

of changes to the way 

FSA reports a producer’s 

farm program payments to 

the producer and to the IRS. 

In past years, IRS Form 

1099-G would be issued to 

show all program payments 

received from FSA, regardless 

of the amount. 

Starting with calendar 

year 2012, producers whose 

total reportable payments 

from FSA are less than $600 

will not receive IRS Form 

1099-G (Report of Payments 

to Producers). Additionally, 

producers who receive payments 

from more than one 

county will only receive one 

Form 1099-G if the total 

payments of all payments 

from all counties are $600 or 

more. 

Producers who received 

less than $600 in combined 

payments should consult 

their tax advisor to determine 

if these payments 

must be reported on their 

tax return. 

If the payments were subject 

to voluntary withholdings 

or subject to backup 

(involuntary) withholdings a 

1099-G will be issued 

regardless of the total 

amount of the payments. 

Producers with questions 

on 1099-G’s should contact 

their local FSA County 

Office or the Pennington 

County FSA Office at 681- 

1612 ext. 2.

After only two years of 

participating in the 

Minnesota State One Act 

Play Competition, Badger 

High School has collected 

two trophies. Last weekend, 

it finished first in 

Subsection District 32, 

Region 8, at Lake of the 

Woods High School, with its 

presentation of “The 

Laramie Project.” Broadway 

veteran Rick Anderson 

directed the students. 

“I’ve always wanted to 

build a theatrical program 

from scratch,” said Anderson 

during a break from 

rehearsal. “I found out that 

Badger didn’t have a one act 

play program, so I thought 

that would be ideal. I contacted 

Superintendent Tom 

Jerome, and made a proposal 

to take on this challenge. 

Mr. Jerome has always been 

about presenting opportunities 

for his students, and 

had seen a previous production 

I had directed, so he 

was open to the idea.” 

Jerome said, “One Act 

Play provides another opportunity 

for students to participate 

as well as excel and 

perform in front of their 

peers and the community. 

The Badger One Act Play 

team consists of 12 cast 

members. These students 

are very talented and 

incredibly dedicated. They 

have worked diligently the 

past four months preparing 

for the competition working 

with Rick Anderson as well 

as volunteer Valerie 

Truscinski. It is truly amazing 

what these students 

have accomplished in a short 

period of time.” 

“The Laramie Project” 

deals with the 1998 beating 

and death of 22-year-old college 

student Matthew 

Shepard in Laramie, Wyo. 

“‘The Laramie Project’ 

does much more than retell 

the events surrounding the 

hate crime. The play provides 

a message of compassion 

and attempts to demonstrate 

how human beings 

should aspire to treat each 

other,” Jerome said. 

“The Laramie Project,” by 

Mosies Kaufman and the 

Tectonic Theatre Company, 

will be part of the sectional 

8A One Act Play 

Competition on Saturday, 

Feb. 2 (today) at the Ada- 

Borup High School Theatre. 

A total of eight one act plays 

will be presented, with one 

advancing to state. 

Performances begin at 10 

a.m. 

The Badger One Act Play 

Team will perform a public 

performance of “The 

Laramie Project” on 

Saturday, Feb. 2 (today) at 8 

p.m. in the BHS gym. 

Tickets are $5 for general 

admission seats. All proceeds 

will go to cover the 

expenses of the Badger One 

Act Play.

Welcoming I-500 

racers and fans 

to TRF next weekend 

The United States X-Country 

Snowmobile Racing organization 

recently announced that the I-500 

snowmobile race is on. For the last couple 

of years, the storied race has run up 

against some unusual challenges, 

including a lack of snow. And then, the 

USCC, which had sponsored the event 

ceased operation. We’re glad the USXC 

is bringing the storied race back to 

northwest Minnesota and fans of snowmobile 

racing. 

Barring a heat wave, the Seven 

Clans I-500 will start on Thursday and 

run through Saturday. 

In June of 2012, former racing champion 

Brian Nelson of Spicer, announced 

the formation of USXC. 

“There have been many great crosscountry 

racing organizations over the 

years, most recently with the USCC,” 

said Nelson in a press release. “USCC 

was an excellent circuit that rescued 

and grew the sport. When they communicated 

that they would cease operations 

after last season, I wanted to 

keep cross-country racing strong and 

The Women, Infants and 

Children’s Supplemental 

Nutrition Education 

Program (WIC) is being held 

in February. 

Infants, children up to the 

age of 5, and women who are 

pregnant or breastfeeding 

may be eligible for the program. 

Organizers are interested 

in enrolling pregnant 

women in the program. They 

feel that prenatal nutrition 

is a vital part of producing a 

healthy baby. Therefore, it is 

important to apply for WIC 

early in your pregnancy. 

WIC needs no proof of pregnancy. 

All potential clients 

must contact the WIC 

Program to schedule an 

appointment. The following

growing. I pursued the idea of purchasing 

USCC, but for many reasons that 

proved unworkable. The best solution 

was to form USXC.” 

It’s not too surprising that one of the 

races being sponsored by the USXC is 

the I-500. Nelson was a cross-country 

racer who won the Winnipeg to St. 

Paul I-500 in 1976 aboard Enduro 

Team Deere, and again in 1978 for 

Team Arctic. 

Of course, the race no longer runs 

from Winnipeg to St. Paul, but it still 

presents incredible challenges for racers 

and great entertainment for snowmobile 

racing enthusiasts. 

In this, its first year, the organization 

has conducted races at four locations 

- Pine Lake, Detroit Lakes, 

Willmar and Oslo. The I-500 in Thief 

River Falls is the fifth race of the season. 

Leading in point standings are 

some familiar names to racers - Brian 

Dick, Ryan Simons, Zach Herfindahl 

and Wesley Selby, all of whom race for 

Arctic Cat. There are a lot of other 

well-known racers in this circuit, and 

given the difficulty of the I-500, don’t 

be surprised if there are surprises at 

the finish line. 

We welcome back the I-500 and racing 

fans.

Ryan Simons sweeps the Pro Classes at Oslo 

United States X-Country 

Snowmobile Racing 

Frigid temperatures, 

hazy sun and snow-filled 

ditches and river bottoms 

set the scene for the fourth 

stop on the 2012-2013 USXC 

cross-country snowmobile 

racing schedule on Jan. 26, 

2013, at the Oslo Merchants 

100 in Oslo. 

The weekend was the 

first ditch race for the circuit 

and racers battled the clock 

through ditches that got 

brutally rough as well as on 

the Snake and Red Rivers 

where speed and handling 

ruled the day. While the terrain 

of the 23-mile Oslo 

course varied greatly from 

the lake races the circuit 

hosted at its first three 

events, the results shook out 

with most of the same 

names ending up at the top 

of the order, namely Arctic 

Cat rider Ryan Simons, who 

swept the Pro classes. 

Simons set the pace in the 

first race of the day, the twolap, 

56-mile Speedwerx Pro 

Open race finishing over a 

minute ahead of the second 

place Polaris of Bobby 

Menne. Polaris rider Aaron 

Christensen came in third 

and Arctic Cat rider Brian 

Dick, who was battling the 

flu, finished fourth. Simons 

held the pace later in the 

day in the DRIFT Racing 

Pro 600 race. After four laps 

and a mandatory fuel stop 

Simons’ lead was at nearly 

1-minute 38-seconds over 

the second place Arctic Cat 

of Zach Herfindahl. Brian 

Dick finished third and 

Polaris rider Spencer Kadlec 

came in fourth. Kadlec had 

to borrow the sled of his Pro 

Women-class teammate Jen 

Fuller after his sled suffered 

a mechanical breakdown in 

the Semi-Pro 600 race. 

Speaking of the Polaris 

Semi-Pro 600 class, Arctic 

Cat rider Nate Mortiz laid 

down the fast time in that 

class to take the win, finishing 

21-seconds ahead of the 

Polaris of Dylan Stevens and 

48-seconds ahead of Tyler 

Johnsrud’s Arctic Cat. 

Yamaha rider Ben Lindbom 

was credited with the win in 

the AMSOIL Semi-Pro 

Improved class ahead of 

Arctic Cat rider Timmy 

Kallock and Polaris rider 

Travis Faust.

Linnae Knochenmus, whose primary home 

is in Roseau, found comfort at her cabin 

while fighting breast cancer. Knochenmus 

said she and her fiancé, Scott Johnson, 

absolutely love it there. (Submitted) 

Fighting cancer way up north 

by Dede Vettleson 

Regional Marketing 

Manager, Sanford 


A winding snow-covered 

road leads to a lone log cabin 

hidden in the tall pines. The 

sun shines on this late 

November afternoon. Come 

nighttime, wolves will howl 

under the star-filled sky. 

Inside, a woodstove keeps 

the one-room cabin cozy 

warm. Linnae Knochenmus, 

whose primary home is in 

Roseau, says about the 

cabin, “We absolutely love it 

here.” She sits at a rustic 

table while her fiancé Scott 

Johnson brews a pot of coffee. 

Linnae smiles and takes a 

deep breath. She's ready to 

share her story of survival. 

But the enemy is not this 

remote wilderness 50 miles 

from the Canadian border, 

it's breast cancer, the disease 

that kills more than 

39,000 women a year in the 

U.S. 

Suspicion prompts trip 

to Fargo 

When Linnae discovered 

a lump in her right breast in 

2011, she sought help at 

Sanford Thief River Falls 

Medical Center. After an 

exam, mammogram and 

ultrasound, Linnae’s nurse 

practitioner referred her to 

Sanford Breast Health in 

Fargo. 

“From that point on, 

everything moved very 

quickly, including the biopsy 

in late December,” says 40- 

year-old Linnae. “On Jan. 3, 

I found out I had cancer. 

That was hard to hear, but 

they thought it was small 

and early stage. I felt pretty 

good about that. Thank 

goodness for my honey and 

thank goodness my two kids 

are grown.” 

The next day, while she 

and Scott headed to the 

cabin, she got a phone call 

from a nurse navigator at 

Sanford Roger Maris Cancer 

Center. The nurse explained 

the next steps, including an 

important meeting with the 

oncologist and surgeon in 

Fargo, N.D., to learn more 

about her particular type of 

cancer and treatment 

Tobacco price increase is a 

step in the right direction 

Fewer Minnesota kids 

will start smoking and more 

adults will quit thanks to 

Gov. Mark Dayton’s decision 

to include a price increase 

for tobacco in his state budget 

announced Tuesday. 

Dayton plans to increase 

the price of cigarettes by 

$0.94, which is a step in the 

right direction toward helping 

Minnesota kids break 

the cycle of addiction and 

tobacco-related disease. 

“As an organization dedicated 

to fighting cancer, we 

appreciate the governor 

including a tobacco price 

increase in his budget, however, 

we would encourage 

the governor to raise the 

price of tobacco products at 

the same level as suggested 

in legislation introduced last 

week,” said Matt Schafer, 

Minnesota government relations 

director with the 

American Cancer Society 

Cancer Action Network. 

“Rep. Ann Lenczewski’s bill 

calls for a tobacco price 

increase of $1.60, which 

would be more effective in 

saving lives in our state.” 

Making tobacco significantly 

more expensive is 

proven as one of the most 

effective means to reduce 

use and thereby reduce the 

number of tobacco-related 

cancer deaths. 

A significant increase in 

the price of tobacco, like the 

one suggested in 

Lenczewski’s bill, is estimated 

to keep 47,700 Minnesota 

kids from becoming tobaccoaddicted 

adults, help 36,600 

current Minnesota smokers 

quit and save 25,700 

Minnesotans from premature 

smoking-related 

deaths. 

Minnesota currently 

spends nearly $3 billion 

annually in tobacco-related 

health care costs. By 

increasing the price of tobacco 

significantly, the state 

would save an estimated 

$1.4 billion in long-term 

health care costs. 

“The governor’s proposed 

tobacco price increase is a 

step in the right direction, 

but Minnesota can do better,” 

said Schafer. “We plan 

to work with the governor 

and legislators to get the 

most out of our efforts to 

reduce the state’s burden of 

tobacco and reduce the number 

of cancer diagnoses and 

deaths in Minnesota.” 

options. 

Scott pulled over, so 

Linnae could carefully listen 

and write down her appointments. 

“I’ve had a nurse navigator 

throughout this entire 

process. It’s been so helpful," 

says Linnae. “I always knew 

who to call with questions, 

and I knew I'd get answers I 

could understand, even if it 

took more than one explanation. 

We also appreciated 

how all our doctors took the 

time to explain the data and 

the latest studies. We felt 

very well informed.” 

Cancer care close to 

home 

For the next seven 

months, Linnae underwent 

a three-phase treatment for 

stage 2 breast cancer. She 

took a leave from her job as 

a registered nurse at 

Sanford in Thief River Falls, 

putting 100 percent into her 

cancer battle. Her treatment 

included: 

• A lumpectomy in 

Fargo to remove the cancerous 

tumor and determine 

the spread of disease. 

Linnae’s surgeon was Dr. 

Michael Bouton. “I had no 

idea Sanford had a specifically 

trained breast surgeon,” 

she says. “He did a 

super job.” 

• Weekly chemotherapy 

at Sanford Thief River 

Falls. “Chemotherapy is 

powerful, and the nurses 

who administer it really 

have to know their stuff. The 

Thief River Chemo 

Department was awesome,” 

says Linnae. “It helped, too, 

that my oncologist Dr. 

(Amit) Panwalkar traveled 

up to Thief River to see 

patients.” 

• Seven weeks of daily 

radiation therapy at Sanford 

Bemidji. “When we found 

out they had new top-of-theline 

radiation therapy equipment, 

we chose Bemidji. It’s 

so much closer than Fargo,” 

says Linnae. “Radiation 

oncologist Dr. John 

Bollinger and his crew were 

outstanding. They became 

like family.” 

Even with treatment 

spanning three locations, 

Linnae experienced wellcoordinated, 

well-communicated 

care. “My doctors conferred 

with each other and 

my nurse navigator always 

knew what was going on,” 

she says. “At every point in 

this breast cancer journey I 

have felt safe. That’s huge to 

me.” 

She also appreciated the 

hometown support of 

friends, family, coworkers 

and community. “Scott and I 

would have driven anywhere 

for top-notch treatment, but 

to be able to get it up here 

made things so much better,” 

she says, getting tearyeyed. 

“I had incredible support. 

When you’re going 

through cancer, that means 

everything.” 

A dream delayed 

Linnae completed radiation 

therapy on July 3. Four 

days later, she attended her 

son’s wedding. Today, with 

successful treatment behind 

her, she’s back to work at 

Sanford in Thief River Falls, 

but not her usual 12-hour 

shifts. 

“I’m really tuckered,” she 

says. “I used to be a very 

high-energy person. The 

energy is slowly returning, 

but it sure takes time. That’s 

been the biggest challenge 

for me.” 

Linnae gazes out the window. 

The pines gently sway 

in the wind. 

“Our dream before this 

stupid cancer was to move to 

Alaska. We were so excited,” 

she says, pausing. Then her 

smile returns. "We're very 

hopeful Alaska is still in the 

cards. We're ready for our 

next journey." 

Klobuchar pushes 

for lower 

prescription drug 

prices for seniors 

Sen. Amy Klobuchar reintroduced 

legislation to 

help lower prescription drug 

prices for seniors. The bill - 

the Medicare Prescription 

Drug Price Negotiation Act - 

would empower Medicare to 

negotiate for the best possible 

price of prescription 

medication for America’s 

seniors who are enrolled in 

Medicare Part D. Current 

law only allows for bargaining 

by pharmaceutical companies 

and bans Medicare 

from doing so. The bill 

would help cut costs for 

more than 35 million seniors 

and boost Medicare savings. 

Klobuchar introduced 

similar legislation in the 

previous Congress. 

“We shouldn’t be saddling 

our seniors with inflated 

drug prices for vital medications,” 

said Klobuchar. "This 

is a matter of fairness for 

our seniors, who deserve 

affordable prices for their 

prescription drugs, and it is 

a matter of fairness for 

America's taxpayers, who 

deserve less waste in our 

system. This legislation 

would mean more affordable 

drugs for seniors and real 

savings for Medicare.” 

The 

Medicare 

Prescription Drug Price 

Negotiation Act would allow 

the ecretary of health and 

human services to directly 

negotiate with drug companies 

for price discounts for 

the Medicare Prescription 

Drug Program, eliminating 

the “non-interference” 

clause that expressly bans 

Medicare from negotiating 

for the best possible prices 

even though the government 

can often negotiate 

bigger discounts than insurance 

companies. Senators Al 

Franken (D-MN) and 

Jeanne Shaheen (R-NH) are 

cosponsoring the bill.

Thief River Falls girls beat Warroad 57-43... 

Win No. 18 for Prowlers 

It wasn’t pretty, but Thief 

River Falls picked up its 

18th win in 19 starts 

Tuesday by beating visiting 

Warroad 57-43 in girls high 

school basketball. 

The game was slow from 

the get-go, with the two 

teams combing for just 22 

points over the first 13 minutes. 

Down 12-10, the Prowlers 

enjoyed a mini-burst that 

included a rebound basket 

by Sheena Lee and fast 

break buckets by Brooke 

Anderson and Lee for a 16- 

12 lead with 4:27 remaining 

in the first half. 

Thief River Falls led the 

rest of the night. It was 23- 

17 at halftime when junior 

guard Brooke Yaggie made 

one of two free throws with 

0.1 seconds on the clock. 

The difference was just 

31-27 following a 3-point 

shot from the corner by 

Lindsay Fast on a Warroad 

in-bounds play with 12:25 

left, but the spread climbed 

to 48-34 with just 3:29 showing 

following back-to-back 

baskets on the inside by 6-1 

Thief River Falls sophomore 

center Madison Brekke. 

“It was not a very good 

game,” acknowledged Thief 

River Falls coach Jeff Loe 

after watching the two 

teams combine for 41 

turnovers and 34 percent 

field goal shooting. “We were 

flat, sluggish. We didn’t 

match up with their intensity.” 

The Prowlers got a 20- 

point game from Yaggie. The 

6-1 Brekke blocked seven 

shots to go along with an 18- 

point, 13-rebound doubledouble. 

Warroad’s Krista 

Friesner, a 5-9 senior guard, 

shared game-high scoring 

honors with Yaggie. 

Thief River Falls, after a 

36 percent 9-for-25 first half 

field goal shooting performance, 

warmed up to a 45 percent 

21-for-47 figure for the 

night. The Prowlers were 

13-for-20 at the free throw 

line. 

Northland Community 

and Technical College has 

announced that Scott 

DCamp has accepted the 

position of head wrestling 

coach at school. 

Officials at the NCTC 

campus in Thief River Falls 

announced earlier that 

wrestling would be added to 

the Pioneers’ athletic program 

beginning in the 2013- 

14 school year. 

“Scott’s experience and 

connections in our region 

will be a great benefit to our 

college,” said Steve 

Crittenden, NCTC Dean of 

Student Development. “He 

is committed to seeing our 

program succeed and has 

some great ideas on how to 

move the program forward.” 

In regards to his new 

position, DCamp commented, 

"It is an honor to be 

named head wrestling coach 

at Northland Community 

and Technical College. I am 

thankful for the opportunity. 

This program will provide a 

much-needed opportunity 

for students in northern 

Minnesota and eastern 

North Dakota to compete in 

wrestling while continuing 

their education. We plan to 

build a top-notch program 

that will showcase the talent 

we have in this region.” 

The search is under way 

to fill the roster, according to 

Crittenden. “Scott will primarily 

spend his time this 

year recruiting and working 

on getting the program 

organized,” he explained. 

“We expect the program to 

add 20-25 students to the 

college.” 

Northland joins Itasca, 

One of seven blocks recorded by Thief River Falls center 

Madison Brekke was this first half rejection in 

Tuesday girls high school basketball action against 

Warroad. A 6-1 sophomore, Brekke also scored 18 

points and pulled down 13 rebounds in the Prowlers’ 

57-43 win. 

Warroad shot just 26 percent 

from the floor (18/68). 

The visitors went to the line 

only eight times, making 

three. 

A 37-33 Warroad advantage 

on the boards included 

a 19-11 edge on the offensive 

end. 

“We shot really poorly in 

the first half, and gave up 

too many second and third 

shots in the second half,” 

explained Loe. 

Warroad topped the busy 

turnover charts 22-19. 

The Prowlers’ depth has 

been compromised as they 

continue to play without two 

freshmen who have been 

contributors to their success. 

Wrestling coach 

named at NCTC 

Scott DCamp 

Ridgewater and Minnesota 

West as Minnesota College 

Athletic Conference schools 

fielding wrestling programs. 

In addition to facing those 

teams, DCamp said the 

Pioneers will be filling its 

schedule against NCAA 

Division II and III competition 

at open tournaments in 

Minnesota and North 

Dakota. 

A staff writer at the Thief 

River Falls Times/Northern 

Watch, DCamp is a Buffalo 

High School and Minnesota 

State University Moorhead 

graduate. He has been an 

assistant coach on the Thief 

River Falls high school 

wrestling staff for the past 

eight years. 

DCamp, his wife April 

and son Storm reside in 

Thief River Falls.

past TRF 

Entertaining. That certainly 

describes the two 

Thief River Falls vs. East 

Grand Forks boys high 

school basketball match-ups 

this winter. The Prowlers 

won a Dec. 14 meeting 72- 

71. Tuesday, the Green 

Wave prevailed 89-80. Both 

won at home. 

That’s a lot of points. In 

fact, it’s the first time in history 

the Prowlers have 

scored 80 points in a loss. 

The results put East Grand 

Forks at 12-5 and Thief 

River Falls 11-5. 

This one was a see-saw 

game in the truest sense. 

East Grand Forks went 

on a 17-1 run midway 

through the first half and 

took a 14-point, 48-34 lead 

into the break. 


responded with a run of 24 

unanswered points in a 

nearly six-minute stetch to 

turn a 54-36 deficit into 60- 

54 lead. 

The Prowlers were up 66- 

61 with 7:05 remaining, 

only to have the Green Wave 

put together an game-winning 

18-2 surge. 

Jim Warmack, a recent 

addition to the East Grand 

Forks 1,000-Point, padded 

his numbers with a 30-point 

game. Ben Bjornson netted 

23 and Austin Holy contributed 

16. 

With 15 of his 18 points 

coming in the second half, 

Jacob Joppru led a group of 

four Thief River Falls double 

figure scorers. Jacob 

Leier and Nick Hoffard both 

had 15, while Jorde Hutton 

finished with 13. 

It was the first of six 

straight road trips for the 

Prowlers, whose Friday trip 

to Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton 

will be followed by games at 

Stephen-Argyle, Grand 

Rapids, Detroit Lakes and

Northland in

Northland completed an 

impressive first trip through 

the 2013 Minneota College 

Athletic Conference Northern 

Division women’s basketball 

schedule with an 

easy 73-44 win over Central 

Lakes Wednesday. 

Halfway through the regular 

season-ending homeand-home 

series against 

each division foe, Northland 

is 7-0. The average margin 

of victory in those seven 

starts is 28 points. The 

Raiders, who trailed the 

Pioneers by just one game in 

the division standings at the 

start of the night, lost by 29. 

Northland is 18-1 overall 

with a 14-game winning 

streak that covers all of 

December and January. 

Four Pioneers hit double 

figures as Jenna Lundon 

scored 19 points, Eva 

Lampert and Sarah Durand 

both had 12 and Whitney 

Rogstad 11. 

Lindsay Monson and 

Taalyr Egeness led Central

Northland won the 

rebound battle 46-32. 

Central Lakes had more

Losses mount for NCTC men 

January wasn’t a good 

month for the Northland 

Community and Technical 

College men’s basketball 

team. 

Since returning from a 

Christmas/New Year’s holiday 

break, the Pioneers have 

lost nine straight games – 

the last seven to Minnesota 

College Athletic Conference 

Northern Division foes. 

The latest setback came 

Wednesday at home against 

Central Lakes, 71-59. 

Northland is 3-17 overall. 

Goodridge/Grygla ended a 

four-game losing streak 

Monday by beating Roseau 

64-40 in a girls high school 

basketball game played at 

Grygla. 

McKenzie Bakken scored 

24 points, Courtney Boutain 

15 and Sarah Kiesow 11 for 

the Chargers, who led 35-26 

at halftime. Kiley Borowicz 

led the Rams with 14 points. 

Goodridge/Grygla was 27- 

for-61 from the field (44 percent) 

and 10-for-13 at the 

free throw line. Roseau had 

a 6-for-15 free throw night. 

The ability to limit their 

turnovers (14) against a 

Roseau press was a key factor 

in the outcome, according 

to Chargers coach Brent 

Philipp. “Our guards – 

Courtney Boutain and Syra 

Naik – did an unbelievable 

job handling their press,” he 

said. 

Goodridge/Grygla is 7-9.

Struggling to put an 

offense together, Goodridge/ 

Grygla lost its fourth 

straight boys high school 

basketball game Tuesday, 

falling to host Win-E-Mac 

47-33. 

The 8-7 Chargers were 

coming off a 66-35 Friday 

setback at the hands of 

Northern Freeze. 

“A much better game 

than the last one,” reported 

Goodridge/Grygla coach 

Vern Johnson. “We did a 

good job on defense and 

rebounding. We are struggling 

to score right now. 

We’re getting good shots, but 

they aren’t falling.” 

Win-E-Mac led 27-20 at 

halftime. 

Three players shared 

game-high scoring honors 

with 12 points each: the 

Patriots’ Jake Walker and 

Marshall McKeever; the 

Chargers’ Hunter McMillin. 

Both sides had trouble 

with their shots. Goodridge 

was 12-for-33 from the field 

(36 percent); Win-E-Mac 

went 17-for-49 (35 percent).

Kyle Olson kept Thief

at the start, but the 

Prowlers finally solved the 

Lake of the Woods goalie in 

the second period and went 

on to beat the Bears 4-1 in a 

Tuesday boys high school 

hockey game at Baudette. 

Olson made it interesting 

with a 37-save night. 

A scoreless tie was shattered 

when goals by the 

Prowlers’ Wyatt Ortloff and 

Isak Bergland just 49 seconds 

apart produced a sudden 

2-0 advantage 3:52 into 

the second period. 

Three minutes later it 

was 3-0 on a goal by Logan 

Engelstad. 

Cole Nelson put the Bears 

in the scorebook before the 

team left the ice for the second 

intermission, but the 

Prowlers got that one back 

when Keaton Huot scored at 

10:42 of the third period. 

Tanner Holmes stopped 

21 shots for the winners.

Christine Bjornstad’s sixth grade science 

class at Franklin Middle School was among 

the top winners of the City of Thief River 

Falls’ PowerSavers Energy Savings Kit 

Contest. The class saved an estimated 

11,833 kilowatt-hours or $1,420 a year. The

the doctor talking with Gant 

and two of his friends. His 

friends were also trying to 

convince him to go into a 

room. 

For about 15 minutes, law 

enforcement tried to persuade 

Gant to go into a 

room. They told him that he 

would be physically forced 

into the room if he didn’t 

cooperate. During that time, 

Gant requested to go into 

another room several times 

and asked to have a Bible. 

They responded that he 

begins his stay in one room 

and then moves into another. 

He was provided with a 

Bible. They said he had no 

choice but to go into the 

room. Otherwise, they would 

have to physically move him 

into the room. 

The doctor and nurses 

soon told Gant to hand over 

his clothing and belongings. 

He appeared to be confused 

and not listening to them. 

Gant continued to say that 

he wanted to go into another 

room, which was occupied by 

another patient. 

Another 15 minutes went 

by, and Bassett and Mattson 

attempted to get him to 

cooperate. They said they 

would have to remove Gant’s 

clothes if he didn’t cooperate. 

Gant twice appeared to 

cooperate and then began 

asking questions that didn’t 

pertain to what was happening. 

At one point, he turned 

over his phone and another 

electronic device. However, 

he continued to say that he 

didn’t want to go into the 

room. He also began asking 

questions that didn’t make 

sense. 

Officers told him that 

they weren’t going to negotiate 

with him and they would 

have to remove his clothes if 

he didn’t cooperate. 

Gant allegedly soon 

began swinging at officers 

and hospital staff while running 

toward the door. 

Mattson ran after Gant, who 

then ran into Puetz at a 

doorway. Puetz held onto 

Gant’s sweatshirt collar as 

he continued to try moving 

forward into a hallway. Gant 

began swinging his fists and 

pushed Puetz backwards. 

He then allegedly punched 

Puetz about 20 times. Puetz 

fell backwards onto the floor, 

and Gant ran over the top of 

him to continue down the 

hallway. 

Mattson ran after Gant 

and physically forced him 

facedown onto a bed. Other 

officers and hospital staff 

soon arrived and helped subdue 

him. 

Puetz remained on the 

floor and appeared to be in 

extreme pain. A backboard 

was used to transport him to 

the hospital’s ER. He was 

later transported to a Fargo, 

N.D., hospital, where he 

underwent surgery for a dislocated 

hip and a fracture.

Laura Brickson’s fourth grade class at St. 

Bernard’s Catholic School was among the 

top winners of the City of Thief River Falls’ 

PowerSavers Energy Savings Kit Contest. 

The class saved an estimated 2,857 kilowatt-hours 

or $343 a year. The students

trip,” said Susan Mosbeck, 

customer service representative 

for Thief River Falls 

Municipal Utilities. 

Bjornstad hasn’t yet chosen 

where her students will 

go on a field trip. Brickson’s 

class plans to go on a field 

trip with the St. Bernard’s 

fifth graders to Mt. St. 

Benedict Monastery in 

Crookston. 

As part of the program, 

Mosbeck presented an energy 

program to 170 FMS students 

and also to Brickson’s 

class. She gave each student 

an energy savings kit, provided 

by Minnkota and the 

City of Thief River Falls 

through its Conservation 

Improvement Program. 

Inside the kit were: 

• An energy-savings 

booklet; 

• Two compact fluorescent 

light bulbs; 

• A low flow shower 

head; 

• A bag to test the 

amount of water coming out 

of the shower per minute 

before and after the installation 

of the low flow shower 

head; 

• A whistle that attaches 

to a furnace filter to notify 

occupants when the filter 

needs to be changed; 

• A thermometer to 

check the temperature of the 

refrigerator and the freezer 

to see if they needed to be 

turned down; 

• Aerators for leaky 

faucets in the kitchen and 

bathroom; 

• Plumber’s tape; 

• A temperature guide 

for the water heater; and 

• A shower timer. The 

timer attaches to the shower 

wall and goes off after someone 

has been in the shower 

for five minutes. “I think 

some of the kids were going 

to use it as a competition in 

their families to see if they 

could get in and out of the 

shower in five minutes,” 

Mosbeck said. 

Students in Brickson’s 

class said they were able to 

get out of the shower in five 

minutes. One student, Alex, 

claimed he was able to shower 

in two-and-a-half minutes. 

One of his classmates, 

Abby, noted the importance 

of the shower timer. “You 

shouldn’t be taking an hour 

or a half-hour shower,” she 

said. 

If the students installed 

all of the items in the kit, 

their families were expected 

to save about 1,700 kilowatthours 

or $200 over the 

course of a year. 

“My mom noticed our 

water bill went down a little 

bit,” said sixth grader 

Megan Gagner. She noted 

she used the aerators and 

the shower timer. Her family 

plans to install the low flow 

shower head on a new shower 

in the future. 

Once they installed some 

or all of the items, the students 

returned their work 

sheets to their teachers. 

Then they received an LED 

night-light. 

This spring, Mosbeck 

plans to present the program 

and kits to Challenger 

Elementary School fifth 

graders. 

MDA to hold listening sessions 

on new ag water quality certification 

The 

Minnesota 

Department of Agriculture 

will hold listening sessions 

at six locations throughout 

the state in February to 

gather input on the 

Minnesota Agricultural 

Water Quality Certification 

Program. The new program 

has been in development 

over the past year and is 

designed to accelerate voluntary 

adoption of on-farm 

agricultural practices that 

enhance water quality. 

Minnesota Agriculture 

Commissioner Dave 

Frederickson says farmers 

and rural landowners are 

encouraged to attend these 

sessions to provide feedback 

on the program prior to its 

implementation.

“We want to ensure this 

program delivers what it 

should for farmers and for 

the environment,” said 

Frederickson. “We want to 

hear from farmers and others 

about the proposed program 

while we’re in the 

planning stage.” 

Under the program, farmers 

would voluntarily implement 

and maintain 

approved conservation plans 

and receive assurance that 

their operations meet water 

quality goals and standards. 

In return, they would not be 

required to implement additional 

water quality practices 

for the duration of their 

certification.

U.S. News and World 

Report has ranked the 

University of Minnesota, 

Crookston among the 

nation’s “Best Online 

Bachelor’s Programs” for 

2013. 

The U of M, Crookston 

was ranked in the top quartile 

at #60 out of the 247 

higher education respondents 

in this year’s survey. 

Rankings were based on factors 

such as graduation 

rates and academic and 

career support services 

offered to students among 

others. The campus ranked 

especially high in the subcategory 

Student Services 

and Technology coming in at 

number 18. 

U.S. News & World 

Report published these 

rankings for the first time in 

2012 in response to today’s 

high demand for education 

provided in a flexible manner. 

“Our faculty and staff are 

leaders in the field of online 

education and have been 

working for more than a 

decade to provide access to 

our high quality degree programs 

in a manner that is

smokers actively tried to 

quit in the past year. While 

some can manage to quit 

without assistance, most 

need help. 

“Cold turkey is only affective 

3 to 5 percent of the 

time,” Sheldon said. 

The Center for Disease 

Control and Prevention 

notes that the use of effective 

cessation treatments 

can double or triple rates of 

successfully quitting. One 

example of an effective 

treatment is QUITPLAN 

Services, a free counseling 

service that is available to 

all Minnesotans. 

“We promote QUITPLAN 

services because we know 

there are a lot of people who 

wish to quit smoking who 

need that help,” Sheldon 

said. “The key with QUIT- 

PLAN and other support 

programs is the expert counseling 

that they provide. 

Patches and medication will 

help deal with craving, but 

there is still a psychological 

addiction.” 

Sheldon said most health 

plans will also offer free 

services that will aid a 

smoker’s efforts to quit. 

During the initial call, 

counselors will gather 

intake information to truly 

understand what the 

patient’s habit is like, what 

are their cravings and what 

are their triggers? 

“Counselors work one on 

one to help you get through 

the process,” Sheldon said. 

“It’s not a one-size fits all 

program.” 

Sheldon said the length of 

time it takes to quit varies 

based on the level of commitment. 

“Generally, if they are 

just thinking about quitting, 

they can quit within three 

weeks,” Sheldon said. “If 

they’ve been trying to quit 

due to a family member 

death or something else, 

they can quit much quicker.” 

QUITPLAN also offers an 

online program that is more 

self-directed. It can be 

accessed 

at 

www.quitplan.com. 

QUITPLAN counselors 

can be accessed by phone at 

1-888-354-PLAN. 

“We would encourage 

anyone in any stage to call 

the help line or check out the 

motivation 

on

said.

Math, Science, and 

Technology. The campus currently 

has more than 700 

online only degree-seeking 

students. 

While U.S. News has 

applied some of its rankings 

standards used for traditional 

schools, measures were 

developed and used to evaluate 

online programs. U.S. 

News defined a distance 

education program as “a program 

for which all the 

required coursework for program 

completion is able to 

be completed via distance 

education courses that incorporate 

Internet-based learning 

technologies. Distance 

education courses are courses 

that deliver instruction to 

students who are separated 

from the instructor and support 

regular and substantive 

interaction between the students 

and the instructor 

synchronously or asynchronously.” 

Online bachelor’s degree 

programs were ranked in 

three different sub-categories: 

Teaching Practices 

and Student Engagement, 

Faculty Credentials and 

Training, and Student 

Services and Technology. 

Ranking indicators for the 

Teaching Practices and 

Student Engagement category 

included class size, 

teacher response timeframe, 

student collaboration policy, 

and anti-plagiarism screening 

policy among others. 

Student services and technology-based 

indicators 

included live tutoring and 

24/7 tech support, the ability 

for students to receive classes 

through both audio and 

visual, and having all courses 

centralized into a single 

student information system, 

such as Blackboard or 

Moodle. 

Data was collected from 

for-profit, private, and public 

schools. For more information

methodology, go to

The destroyer encountered 

a typhoon near Japan 

in June 1945. The typhoon 

broke 100 feet of the bow off 

of the USS Pittsburgh. 

Despite the damage, it 

stayed afloat.

the USS Mindoro, an aircraft 

carrier, before his military 

service ended in 1946. 

Two years later, Anderson 

married Hazel Nelson. Over 

the years, he farmed. He 

also worked several wintertime 

jobs, including working 

at a sugar beet plant and 

serving as a diesel mechanic 

and assembling machinery 

in Stephen. He retired in 

1984. The couple moved 

from rural Stephen to Valley 

Home on Dec. 15, 2011. 

Anderson and his wife 

have six children, Renae 

Seibel, Arlan Anderson, 

Anita Hendrickson, Gregory

Cindy Paschke. He estimated 

he has 14 grandchildren 

and just as many greatgrandchildren.

Free paint available for community projects 

A fresh coat of paint can 

make a remarkable difference 

in the appearance of 

community structures, 

neighborhood facilities and 

parks. While adding to a 

sense of civic pride, this 

agreeable task is again 

being made very affordable. 

For the 16th consecutive 

year, the Northwest 

Minnesota Foundation 

announces the availability of 

free paint for community fixup 

and restoration projects. 

In partnership with the 

Valspar Corporation and the 

Minnesota Beautiful 

Program, help will be given 

to towns and organizations 

to obtain the paint and other 

coating materials required 

for selected projects. 

“Over the years, visual 

improvements all around 

the region have resulted 

from the Minnesota 

Beautiful Program. Literally 

thousands of gallons of paint 

have been given for a wide 

range of projects,” said 

Nancy Vyskocil, NMF president. 

“We’re pleased to be 

working with Valspar once 

again to help bring the 

Minnesota Beautiful project 

to our communities.” 

Free paint will be made 

available by NMF and 

Valspar in support of projects 

that best meet certain 

eligibility criteria. Selection 

will be based on the visual 

impact of the proposed projects, 

potential advantages to 

the public, volunteer participation 

and support, current 

and/or intended use of the 

structure to be refurbished, 

and benefits to those in 

need. 

Qualifying projects might 

include, but are not limited 

to, those involving historic 

structures, senior citizen 

and community centers, 

facilities for the disabled, 

publicly owned buildings, 

and murals or other visualimpact 

designs. Projects 

that would not qualify 

include those involving 

denominational churches, 

city maintenance, private 

properties, or school projects 

(except for murals). 

This year, Valspar and 

NMF are requiring applicants 

to submit tax-exempt 

qualifying documentation. 

In addition, projects using 

less than 15 gallons of paint 

will not be considered and 

all projects must be able to 

be completed within the calendar 

year. 

Minnesota Beautiful 

applications are due by 

Monday, March 4 by 5 p.m., 

with awards announced the 

week of March 25. 

Applications are available 

for downloading at 

www.nwmf.org, or by calling 

NMF at 1-800-659-7859. 

“Many towns and organizations 

will compete for this 

chance to renew or preserve 

a community asset,” said 

Vyskocil. “We encourage all 

applications and appreciate 

the spirit shown for the projects.”
