Watershed One
Pennington County selected to participate in
One Watershed, One Plan program
by Scott DCamp
Reporter

Pennington County and
the Pennington Soil and
Water Conservation District
will be a couple of the entities
participating in the Board of
Water and Soil Resources
One Watershed, One Plan
program.
One Watershed, One Plan,
pairs counties, soil and water
conservation districts and
watersheds together to de-
velop one water plan.
The Red Lake River Sub-
watershed was recently cho-
sen as one of five pilot project
areas to address water qual-
ity on a watershed basis. The
project will include participa-
tion from Pennington
County, the Pennington
SWCD, Red Lake County,
Red Lake SWCD, Polk
County, West Polk SWCD,
the Red Lake Watershed Dis-
trict and Middle Snake
Tamarac Rivers Watershed
District, which is participat-
ing because of the pilot plans
inclusion of the Grand
Marais Creek.
Under the concept of One
Watershed, One Plan, the
various entities will develop
one 10-year water plan,
rather than the previous
model in which each entity
would develop its own plan.
The joint water plan will
identify each entitys role,
but the information will be
printed in one document for
each subwatershed.
Myron Jesme, administra-
tor of the Red Lake Water-
shed District, said the Red
Lake River Subwatershed
was chosen over the Thief
River Subwatershed or
Clearwater River Subwater-
shed.
Jesme said part of the in-
tent of One Watershed, One
Plan is to avoid situations
like the one that happened in
Red Lake County in 2007.
The Red Lake Watershed
District had just completed
its 10-year-plan and the Red
Lake SWCD was in the
process of updating its 10-
year-plan. Many of the same
people were involved in the
process of updating both
plans.
In action related to the
plan, commissioners ap-
proved a resolution request-
ing a waiver of the five-year
update to the countys com-
prehensive local water plan.
The five-year update was due
to be completed in 2015. The
waiver is expected to be ap-
proved because of Penning-
ton Countys participation in
the One Watershed, One
Plan Pilot Program.
County receives Clean
Water grant from BWSR
The County Board ap-
proved an agreement with
the Pennington Soil and
Water Conservation District
and the Minnesota Board of
Water and Soil Resources
(BWSR) to complete an in-
ventory on legal County
ditches for side water inlets.
The Pennington SWCD re-
ceived a $91,231 grant,
which requires a 25 percent
($22,825) match. Pennington
County is responsible for 50
percent ($11,412.50) of the
match.
The inventory will priori-
tize locations for side water
inlets and buffers along
County ditches that will aid
with implementing these
Expanded psychiatric facility approved for Sanford TRF
by David Hill
Editor
Minnesota Department of
Health has agreed to allow
Sanford Health Thief River
Falls expand its inpatient
psychiatric facility from 10 to
16 beds.
In 1984, Minnesota estab-
lished a moratorium on new
hospitals and bed capacity. In
January 2014, Sanford sub-
mitted a plan to establish a
free-standing psychiatric
hospital in Thief River Falls.
The Minnesota Department
of Health stated in its sum-
mary, that based upon an
analysis of actual and pro-
jected capacity and demand
for inpatient psychiatric
services in the Thief River
Falls, and discussions with
mental health experts, in-
cluding with colleagues at
the Minnesota Department
of Human Services, the pro-
posal by Sanford is in the
public interest.
Brian Carlson, chief oper-
ating officer of Sanford Thief
River Falls, said The pri-
mary service area for inpa-
tient psychiatric services at
Sanford Thief River Falls en-
compasses a sizeable portion
of northwest Minnesota. Due
to the limited number of
mental health facilities, we
draw patients from a much
larger service area than our
traditional medical services.
The need is great. He ex-
plained that last year, San-
ford Thief River Falls turned
away 120 psychiatric admis-
sions from Beltrami County
alone because census was at
capacity.
Carlson added, Now we
will be able to improve access
and programming at our ex-
isting psychiatric inpatient
unit and keep patients close
to home so they have the best
chance of connecting with
services and rehabilitating
toward recovery with as
much support as possible.
Sanford is in the process of
completing construction of a
clinic and hospital on High-
way 32 just south of Thief
River Falls. The 36,000-
square foot facility will open
soon. Sanford has announced
it plans to open the clinic on
Sept. 29, and the hospital on
Oct. 1.
Initially, the downtown
hospital was slated for dem-
olition. With this move, addi-
tional space at the downtown
facility on LaBree Avenue
will be available for the ex-
pansion and remodeling of
inpatient psychiatric serv-
ices.
A statement from Sanford
Thief River Falls stated that
Rep. Dan Fabians assistance
was crucial to the passing of
this bill as he helped Sanford
Thief River Falls bring this
to the Legislature, and
guided it through the
process.
Splash park for TRF?
Committee discusses possibility of a splash park in TRF
by April Scheinoha
Reporter
A splash park may be in
Thief River Falls future. At
its meeting Tuesday, Aug. 12,
the Parks and
Recreation/Public Safety
Committee discussed the
possibility of a splash park.
More discussions are ex-
pected after the cost has been
further investigated.
Parks and Recreation Di-
rector Joe Amundson said
the possibility of a splash
park was on the back burner
while the city finished the
Greenwood Street railroad
underpass. Since the under-
pass has been finished, he
brought the splash park pro-
posal to the committee.
Amundson said there are
several options for its loca-
tion, including Annie Street
Park, the beach and the
Multi-Events Center.
Council Member Glen Ka-
jewski questioned if the city
was ready to construct a
splash park. He recalled an
estimate of $100,000 for
equipment for a splash park
a couple of years ago.
Council Member Jerald
Brown, who also sits on the
Budget/Finance Committee,
said the city has a large wish
list. He added that the city
needs to determine how
much a splash park would
cost and then needs to find
the money to fund it.
Council Member Rachel
Prudhomme replied that it
would be beneficial to con-
struct a splash park. She
questioned whether the city
would be able to use funds
raised for a community
swimming pool. If city lead-
ers were interested in that
option, Prudhomme advo-
cated seeking citizens ap-
proval before using the
money.
Community pools have
long been discussed in Thief
River Falls. Over the years,
donations have been ac-
cepted for the construction of
a community pool. As of Dec.
31, 2013, the city has
$237,374 in its Swimming
Pool Fund.
So far, a community pool
hasnt been constructed since

TRF man charged with malicious punishment of a child
Blaine man sentenced for drug offense
Felony malicious pun-
ishment of a child, gross
misdemeanor malicious
punishment of a child
and misdemeanor domes-
tic assault: On Aug. 7 at
4:10 p.m., the sheriff s office
received a
report of
mal i c i ous
p u n i s h -
ment of a
child in the
20300 block
of 190th St.
N.E. Jason
A n d r e w
Schi ndl er,
24, Thief
River Falls, has been
charged with felony mali-
cious punishment of a child,
gross misdemeanor mali-
cious punishment of a child
and misdemeanor domestic
assault. According to the
criminal complaint,
Schindlers girlfriend and
her father reported that
Schindler allegedly spanked
her daughter, causing bruis-
es. Prior to leaving for work,
the woman didnt see any
bruises on the child, only a
little rash. Schindler earlier
agreed to drop the girl off at
her great-grandparents
home. When Schindler did-
nt take her there, the
womans father went to the
home to pick her up.
Schindler didnt come to the
door. Schindler later called
the woman at work, asking
if she saw the childs but-
tocks. She didnt understand
what he was talking about,
and Schindler took the child
to her workplace. She said it
wasnt a regular diaper rash.
Schindler later asked her if
it could be caused by spank-
ing. He allegedly said he had
spanked the girl. A sheriff s
deputy saw bruising near
the childs buttocks that she
believed were from fingers.
A crease was also seen on
the childs left leg. On Aug.
8, a Sanford Health doctor
saw the child. He deter-
mined the bruising appeared
to be caused by significant
spanking. He indicated it
was unlikely that the bruis-
ing was caused by any other
physical means such as a
fall. He also noted that child
abuse should be suspected.
ATV accident and vio-
lation of prohibitions on
a person in lawful con-
trol: On Aug. 13 at 5:46
p.m., the sheriff s office
received a report from
Sanford Medical Center
regarding an all-terrain
vehicle accident at St.
Hilaire City Park. At the
time of the accident, Lindsey
Crystal Cota of St. Hilaire
was driving a 2011 Arctic
Cat TRV 550 on flat ground.
According to the report, she
hit a bump and the ATV
tipped over. The report indi-
cated that Cota and Haley
Cota suffered minor injuries.
On Aug. 14, a Sanford nurs-
ing supervisor said the
Cotas were treated and
released from the hospital.
The report indicated that
neither were wearing hel-
mets. The ATV sustained an
unknown dollar amount in
damage. Lindsey Cota has
been cited for violation of
prohibitions on a person in
lawful control.
ATV accident: On Aug.
16 at 1 a.m., the sheriff s
office received a report from
Sanford Medical Center
regarding an ATV accident
at 11560 190th St. N.E. At
the time of the accident,
Christopher John Peterson
of Red Lake Falls was driv-
ing a 2005 Polaris
Sportsman on a private
driveway. According to the
report, he entered the road
right-of-way, where he lost
control of the ATV. The ATV
then flipped and skidded on
its left side. Peterson was
thrown off of the ATV. He
estimated that he was trav-
eling 30 mph at the time.
Petersons friends drove him
to the ER. On Monday, a
nursing supervisor said
Peterson was treated and
released from the hospital.
The report didnt list
whether he was wearing a
helmet.
First degree driving
while impaired: On Aug.
17 at 1:52 a.m., police per-
formed a traffic stop near
the intersection of First
Street and Main Avenue.
Travis Jacob Schmidtgall,
27, Thief River Falls, has
charges pending for first
degree DWI. He was arrest-
ed.
Burglary: On Aug. 7 at
8:42 p.m., the sheriff s office
received a report of a burgla-
ry at 21686 Center St. E. A
woman reported that some-
one had stolen a Mossberg
.22 rifle valued at less than
$500.
Theft: On Aug. 11 at
10:29 a.m., police received a
report of a theft at Lincoln

Apple MacBook Air comput-
er valued at more than $500.
Theft: On Aug. 11 at 1:31
p.m., the sheriff s office
received a report of a theft
from a property believed to
be in either Smiley or

A Blaine man was sen-
tenced Thursday, Aug. 7 in
Pennington County District
Court for a felony drug
offense.
Scott Allen ODell Jr., 31,
was sen-
tenced for a
f e l o n y
charge of
fifth degree
c ont r ol l ed
s ubs t anc e
crime. He
was sen-
tenced to 12
months and
one day in
prison stayed for five years.
ODell was ordered to serve
five years of supervised pro-
bation.
He was also ordered to
undergo a chemical assess-
ment and supply a DNA
sample. ODell was ordered
to attend Alcoholics
Ano ny mo us / Na r c o t i c s
Anonymous regularly and
provide proof of his atten-
dance. He was ordered to
participate in all mental
health and medical pro-
gramming as recommended
by his treating physicians.
ODell was ordered to not
use or possess firearms or
dangerous weapons. He was
also ordered to pay $210 in
fees and fines.
The charge stemmed from
a report May 20, 2013, at
about 9:30 p.m. According to
the complaint, a police offi-
cer learned that a person
was tweaking out in a
parked van in the 100 block
of Challenger Dr. When the
officer arrived, the man exit-
ed the passengers side of
the van. The man, later
identified as ODell,
attempted to walk toward a
home. Once the officer
stopped him, the officer
noticed ODell had large
pupils and was twitching in
a manner common with peo-
ple who are high on
methamphetamine. ODell
also appeared to be excited
and continuously grabbed at
his pockets. The officer told
him to stop and remove his
hands from his pockets.
Since the officer was con-
cerned about the possibility
of weapons, he checked
ODells jacket pocket. He
found a tubular object that
appeared to be a used meth
pipe.
ODells clothing was then
searched. A clear glass pipe,
a cut straw and a clear bag-
gie were found. The latter
two items contained meth
residue.
Police then searched the
passenger side of the vehi-
cle. A clear plastic hose, four
straws and three clear bag-
gies were found. All con-
tained meth residue. Three
small chunks were also
found that were an unidenti-
fied dark substance.
When officers learned
that ODell was currently on
unsupervised probation in
Anoka County, he told them
that he would fail a urine
test.
A stay of adjudication was grant-
ed for a felony offense included in
the latest edition of the Pennington
County Citation Disposition
Bulletin.

Solems named Pennington
County Emerging Leaders
Andrew and Miranda
Solem of Thief River Falls
have been chosen as the
Pennington County repre-
sentatives to the Red River
Valley Emerging Leadership
Program.
The Solems, along with
participants from 18 other
counties in northwest and
west central Minnesota, will
attend four educational ses-
sions between November
2014 and April 2015.
Andrew and Miranda will be
challenged to come back into
their community to take a
positive role as leaders in
this region.
Andrew is a loan officer at
AgCountry in Thief River
Falls, and Miranda is a cri-
sis service manager at
Sanford Medical Center in
Thief River Falls. They raise
registered Black Angus cat-
tle on their family farm and

and Kellen.
The Red River Valley
Emerging Leadership
Program was developed in
1985 by a small group of
people who felt there was a
need to help individuals
develop their leadership
potential. The program was
founded on the idea that
effective leadership can be
learned and those leaders
grow into positions of lead-
ership, motivated by a sense
of responsibility for them-
selves and their communi-
ties.
The Emerging
Leadership Program is a
program of the University of
Minnesota Extension.
Program supporters include
Northwest Minnesota
Foundation, the Red River
Valley Development
Association, and the West
Central Initiative.

More than 130 years ago,
Pierre Bottineau traveled
the Red River Trail. The life
of the Metis guide and scout
was intertwined with the
history of this area.

cottonwoods that still shade
Old Crossing and Treaty

ten more than a dozen
books. He has taught jour-
nalism, creative writing and
storytelling courses, and has

itage of the Red River Valley.

PARENTING TIPS
How Parents Can Make
a Child More
Comfortable in Day Care
Parents need to start
interviewing day care
providers plenty of time
before needing them, to have
time to visit the day care a
couple of times before actu-
ally leaving the child there.
When visiting the day care,
ask the provider to show you
and your child where he or
she will play, eat and sleep.
Children feel more comfort-
able if they know where
things are.
When you leave the child,
give him or her a kiss and
hug and then leave quickly.
Its hard on the child and the
provider if the child is hav-
ing trouble separating and
the parent extends the sepa-
ration by coming back for
more and more goodbyes.
Most children adjust as soon
as a parent leaves. If you
need to reassure yourself,
call the provider later.
After the child is in a day
care setting, communication
is one of the most important
things. Every day you
should talk with the
provider to see how the day
has gone. If your child is
having trouble at day care,
talk to the provider about it.
Work with the provider on
discipline problems. If your
child is being disciplined at
day care for something,
work with your child at
home on the problem.
Most providers are willing
to talk, but if they dont, ask
questions. What did the
child eat? How is he or she
playing with other children?
How does he or she react to
crafts or other group proj-
ects? How was the childs
nap? Sometimes a child will
have a difficult time if he or
she hasnt had a good nights
sleep. Its important for par-
ents to let providers know if
anything out of the ordinary
has happened at home.
Parents need to be honest
with their children. Dont
say you will be right back,
when you will be gone all
day.
Children are very impor-
tant. A little extra time can
make sure they have a good
time in day care.
SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT
Talk with your child about
the new day care provider.
Use her name in conversa-
tion. Talk about what your
child will be doing at the
new day care. If you know
the childrens names, use
them in conversation, too.

TIMES FOR TODDLERS
Thinking about what happens next
So, I was thinking...
It will be the first time
in 23 years that I will begin
the school year in a building
where I will have not even
one of my own children in it.
Perhaps I can actually
make it to work on time ... as
my excuse has always been
that we are a one shower
stall family, which happens
to hold the one tub which
belongs to said family.
This will be sort of sad
(to not have them in the
building that is).
I might have more
cash flow because I will not
have a senior to equip with
pictures and the likes there-
of. But perhaps it's like the
time I actually believed I'd
have more cash flow once
the kids were out of formula
and diapers. It turned out to
be a false positive as the dol-
lars for diapers merely tran-
sitioned into sports shoes,
which transitioned into
graduation needs, which
transitioned into money
needed for college, which
transitioned into weddings,
and now perhaps that cash
flow will be put to use for gas
to go see the grandkids ...
and help out with formula
and diapers ... so I guess
that's why it's called "cash
flow"...because it does.
Perhaps I'll set some
new goals or rediscover some
old ones not yet reached.
It might be good to
take hold of my own dreams
once again because even
though I've enjoyed helping
breathe life into the dreams
of others ... sometimes it was
merely received as hot air ...
and so it goes.
It's sort of nice having
an empty nest because once
it's all cleaned up around
here, everything stays put. I
liked that until I realized
that I thrive on organizing
and reorganizing. It gives
me a sense of accomplish-
ment. I find that I have a lit-
tle too much lollygag time on
my hands while trying just a
bit too hard to enjoy it. It
doesn't seem quite natural ...
yet.
Perhaps I should carry
the graduation gown (which
has been hanging on the
door of our closet) upstairs to
take its place beside the
other five in storage as it's
been almost three months
now. I'm back from following
through on that thought ...
and truth-be-told it wasn't
all that bad.
As I pray that the Lord fill
my hands, heart, and mind
with what he has next, he
assures that his plans are
perfect and that I must "be
still and know that he is
God" Psalm 46:10. And, try
as I might, that part is real-
ly hard. And so I silently
pray ... help me. Amen.

Kathleen Kjolhaug
THEOLOGY IN
THE TRENCHES
Speaking of Her name was Herman
I was recently telling a
friend to get a dog. I then
went on to tell him why he
should have a dog instead of
a cat, and I realized why
some people are attracted
more to one or the other.
I cant say that I have
ever liked one over another.
At home, I could never have
a pet when I was growing
up, so I loved everything.
Ive written about my pet
problem in this column. If
you remember, I wanted a
pet, any pet, so badly that I
once kept earth worms in a
can in my closet (until my
mother found out she won-
dered what that odd smell
was and found out what it
was and out the worms
went can and all!).
And I remember writing
about trying to sneak a little
kitty (from the farm, no less)
into my bedroom and never
did I think of milk going into
it (which I did) and then
coming out again (which it
did all over my bed and the
floor and everywhere) and
then it climbed the curtain
and mewled and my mom
found out. Back went the
kitty to its mama at the
farm. Tears fell for quite
some time.
When I got married, we
started out with a little dog.
Eventually, along came
babies who turned into kids
and the kids were just like
me. Along came every stray
pet that wandered into our
yard, as well as several that
didnt just wander over, but
were given to us or we
bought or begged for. Lucky
no elephants came wander-
ing by.
I think we got known as
the Pet People. For all I
know, they were dropping off
animals at our house day
and night, knowing that we
couldnt resist them and
would take good care of
them.
I could name them. I bet I
could name every one of our
pets. Well, maybe not the
fish and the hamsters and
the other small things, but I
could name the bigger ani-
mals.
Oh, I can name a small
one. One of my sons had a
hamster (the first of many,
many, many in the family
it appears that they procre-
ate profusely). He named
him Herman. The sales
clerk, after much examina-
tion, swore to it that
Herman was a boy. Of course
you know what Im going to
say Herman wasnt a boy.
We found he had come home
with us and immediately
produced a vast amount of
tiny Hermans that were
squeaking around in the
straw in his cage. However
he retained the name
Herman the rest of his/her
life. Even after she had mul-
tiple babies, her name was
Herman.
Our largest pet was
Major, a beautiful, very
large, formidable black as
coal Doberman Pincher. My
eldest son brought him home
from the pound. I said, Oh,
no! Take him back! He said,
Can we just try him out for
a day or two to see how it
goes? Ill take care of him
and feed him and clean up
after him, and he is well
trained and so on and so on
and so on. I was a pushover.
I wonder how many times I
heard that phrase, Can we
just try him/her out for a day
or two to see how it goes?
Every time I heard it, I was
a pushover.
Of course whose bed did
Major sleep by when my son
was out driving taxicab all
night long to get through col-
lege? Yeah, me! And guess
who loved him and trusted
him and took him for her
midnight strolls around the
block and never felt afraid.
Yeah, me? And guess who
stopped the people trying to
sell me apples and stuff at
the front door? Yea, Major.
Oh, Major, I wish you were
here now! I miss you, you
beautiful big lug!
Dogs, dogs, dogs, kitties,
kitties, kitties. They came,
they went in our family.
Some had babies for us,
which was a wonderful expe-
rience for all, me included. I
was making up for my lack
of pets when I was growing
up.
Many were the night I
and the kids were up very
late watching the miracle of
birth taking place in a clos-
et. Something like a manger,
right? Of course, whichever
mama was producing always
chose the smallest closet in
the house, so we couldnt all
watch the miracle of birth at
the same time. We had to
take turns. It was wonder-
ful. When the kids came to
school sleep deprived the
next day, the teachers all
knew we had had a blessed
event at our house the night
before.
And I never did get many
questions from my kids
about where babies came
from. They knew where
babies came from from
their mamas, of course. No
question about that.
Every mama dog or cat
that became pregnant was
cared for carefully and the
babies were eagerly awaited.
When produced (sometimes
in amazing quantities), the
little ones were enjoyed and
then, when old enough, sent
home with friends and rela-
tives and strangers and peo-
ple passing on the street. If I
am not mistaken, one or two
of my children set up a stand
on the corner of the block
with a big sign saying:
FREE PUPPIES (OR KIT-
TENS) FOR SALE. I dont
remember if they sold any,
but lots of little kids ran
home to Ask Mom. Most of
them never came back.
Some of the babies would
wander off to join other fam-
ilies on their own. By the
time we noticed one was
missing, everybody figured
that someone down the block
had loved it and taken it in
and adopted it. There were
many animals in our neigh-
borhood back then. Many
were progeny of ours, too. At
one time, most of the neigh-
borhood cats were our
Bibsys babies you could
tell them by the color.
So, that is the story I
came up with for today. All I
did was tell a friend that he
needed a pet, and see what
rolled out. I wonder if he will
get a pet or if I have fright-
ened him off. I would start at
the pound if I wanted anoth-
er animal. They will stand
by their pets and help you if
you need it. Pets are won-
derful they lick your tears
when you need it.

September activities at the Library
Since school is starting in
a little more than one week,
summer is officially over at
that time. Thus, the library
is beginning its fall pro-
gramming. For teens, the
month of September is a fun
one. On Sept. 9, teens can
play Wii Games, such as
bowling, golf, baseball, etc.
The Sept. 16 activity is mak-
ing flower pens. On Sept. 23,
teens will be making but-
tons. The event for Sept. 30
is the Jackie Chan comedy
Rush Hour. Popcorn is
available with all activities
that begin at 3:30 p.m. every
Tuesday.
For adults, the first event
is coming soon, and it is an
activity for the entire family.
On Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 6
p.m., Ross and Baron Sutter
will entertain with a blend
of music, stories, songs,
poetry, and laughter
inspired by their small town
roots and Scandinavian her-
itage. The whole family will
enjoy their program, which
is sponsored by Minnesota
Legacy legislation.
For people interested in
genealogy or in simply find-
ing out information about
their family, Ancestry.com is
now available at the library.
Ask at the desk, and one of
the librarians will log you
into the Apple computer and
into the Ancestry.com
account. Users are asked to
limit their time to one hour
if others are waiting to use
the computer.
One hundred years ago,
Thief River Falls and
Pennington County were
booming and definitely in
need of the new library
being built. One area of the
boom was even creating a
problem at the local rail sta-
tion where the waiting
rooms were deemed inade-
quate for the large number
of people coming to town on
the passenger trains. The
problem was deemed serious
enough that local citizens
met with a judge who filed
the complaint with the
Railroad and Warehouse
Commission to request that
the Great Northern railroad
explain why such conditions
were allowed to exist.
The library book selection
of the week is The
Scorpions Sting: Antislavery
and the Coming of the Civil
War by James Oakes.

Far North Spirits enters New York market
Far North Spirits, located
in Hallock, and field-to-glass
distillers of Minnesota craft
spirits Solveig Gin and lan-
der Spiced Rum, will begin
selling its spirits within the
New York market in
September 2014.
Were thrilled to bring
Solveig and lander to the
Big Apple, said owner and
distiller Michael Swanson.
Making small batch spirits
on the family farm near our
hometown of 900 people and
then introducing them to a
city like New York is truly
the best of both worlds.
Distribution in New York
and New Jersey will be
through T. Edward Wines,
one of New Yorks most
respected importers and dis-
tributors with a 20-year
track record of successfully
pairing accounts and suppli-
ers. T. Edwards sales force

Far North Spirits is
emblematic of where the
whole craft distilling move-
ment is headed; they place a
tremendous emphasis on
growing and sourcing quali-
ty ingredients, said Scott
Rosenbaum, spirits strate-
gist at T. Edward. This is a
story were quite excited to
tell because it resonates
with every pour and taste.
Working with Far North
Spirits allows T. Edward to
continue to grow a craft spir-
its portfolio built on the val-
ues of integrity, transparen-
cy, creativity, environmental
stewardship and quality.
Solveig and lander are

Q: My brother is 64 years
old and in poor health even
though he works full-time.
His doctors tell him to retire
and apply for disability.
Would Social Security or dis-
ability be best for him?
A: To be clear, retirement,
survivors and disability ben-
efits are all Social Security,
just different parts. Social
Security is more than retire-
ment. Your brother can
learn about SSA disability at
www.ssa.gov/disabilityssi/,
and especially at the
Disability Planner section
for eligibility and applica-
tion information.
Since the disability defi-
nition for Social Security is
based on ability to work, not
just health, it is unlikely
that a disability application
by your brother would be
approved as long as he is
working full-time, assuming
no employer subsidy or spe-
cial considerations that
allow him to work. The dis-
ability definition includes
that a person cannot do the
work that they did before
and that they cannot adjust
to other work because of
their medical condition. In
addition, the medical condi-
tion must have lasted or be
expected to last for at least
one year or to result in
death.
In general, in 2014 a per-
son cannot be considered
disabled if working with
earnings averaging more
than $1,070 a month.
Usually disability clients file
for benefits after they stop
working or have greatly
reduced work activity. The
decision to file or not is up to
the person.
Your brother has different
Social Security options to
consider when deciding
what is best for him. He can
file application for Social
Security disability or retire-
ment. Disability benefits are
not reduced for age.
Retirement benefits are
reduced for age if started
when the person is younger
than full retirement age.
Since your brother is at
least the minimum SSA
retirement age of 62, anoth-
er option available to him is
to file for both disability and
retirement benefits at the
same time. The retirement
would be reduced since he is
younger than his full retire-
ment age.
If he does this, reduced
retirement could be paid
while his disability applica-
tion is pending. If disability
is not approved, his reduced
retirement would continue.
If the disability application
is approved, his ongoing
benefit amount is reviewed
and increased, although not
to 100 percent. Final
amounts would depend on
the number of months that
he received reduced retire-
ment and the disability start
date.

Sanford and Ghana to bring health care to people of Ghana
Honorable Kwaku
Agyemang-Manu, Ghanas
minister of health, and
Kelby Krabbenhoft, presi-
dent and chief executive offi-
cer of Sanford Health, joint-
ly announced the Ministry of
Health and Sanford have
joined together in a public-
private partnership to bring
health care to millions of
additional people across
Ghana.
This new relationship is
intended to assist the
Ghanaian government in
improving maternity care
and reducing the infant mor-
tality rate. This new agree-
ment will give Sanford
International Clinics the
opportunity to add more
than 300 clinics in Ghana by
2020 and is expected to
serve 4.5 million patients
annually over the same time
period.
"It's encouraging to see
the positive contributions
that Sanford is committed to
making with our health care
system to complement the
public sector," said Dr.
Ebenezer Appiah-Denkyira,
director general of Ghana
Health Services.
The main focus of the
public-private partnership is
to improve access in peri-
urban and rural areas and
allow patients to access pri-
mary care services closer to
home.
Kojo Taylor, president of
Sanford International
Clinic-Ghana, believes this
new relationship will make a
significant impact.
"Much of the rural popu-
lation in Ghana does not
have access to basic care,
said Taylor. The addition of
these clinics will greatly
change the scope of health
care across the nation.
Thousands of families will
no longer be forced to travel
for basic services."
Clinics first formed a rela-
tionship with the Ghana
Ministry of Health when it
opened a clinic in Cape
Coast in January 2012.
Since that time, Sanford has
opened four additional clin-
ics in Mankessim, Kasoa,
Kojokrom and Adenta.
Sanford clinics have treated
more than 180,000 patients
in Ghana.
Our work with the
Ministry of Health has the
potential to create thou-
sands of clinics in Ghana,
said Jim Slack, Sanford
Health vice president of
Clinics. It is our intent to
give the people of Ghana
greater access to physicians
and health care services,
and we are most apprecia-
tive of the good working
relationship we have with
the minister of health."

Its a milestone nobody
wants to see, but its reached
every year. Preliminary
reports show that two
motorcycle fatalities one
in Wright County last week
and one in Rochester
Sunday night have con-
tributed to 204 people losing
their lives on Minnesota
roads so far in 2014. The
number of deaths are 16
fewer than were reported
this time last year, accord-
ing to the Minnesota
Department of Public Safety
Office of Traffic Safety.
To help bring safety to
Minnesota roads this month,
nearly 400 law enforcement
agencies statewide are
focusing on drunk drivers as
part of an enhanced enforce-
ment campaign now through
Labor Day, Sept. 1.

Education in School District
564, Thief River Falls.
Jamie Bakken, Leslie
Fisher, Kelly Weets and
Jane Thibert, media special-
ists in the District said the
training was helpful and
that Thief River Falls was
far ahead of many other
school districts.
The professional develop-
ment program they partici-
pated in was designed to
help teachers develop ways
to integrate technology into
the curriculum. In their
presentation Monday, Aug.
11, each provided details of
how they plan to integrate
technology into the class-
rooms of their schools.
Bakken said she learned
to be more precise in her les-
sons and how to integrate
state standards that define
educational achievement
into her lesson plans.
Fisher and Bakken noted
that computers are advanc-
ing education in the class-
rooms so quickly that what
kids are now doing in the
fifth grade, students will
soon be doing in the second
grade. Fisher said she plans
to continue with her Lunch
with Leslie series of meet-
ings with staff. She said the
meetings will address indi-
vidual needs of teachers a
little better.
Kelly Weets outlined a
plan to create a Prowler
Technology Team, which will
consist of students who will
help staff and students trou-
ble shoot technology issues.
Jane Thibert said she has
cleaned up the Challenger
Elementary School website
and created a technology
page that includes tips on
technology. She also plans to
continue with her App-tivi-
ties Cafe, which consists of
small group meetings to dis-
cuss technology issues.
All four presenters said
the 12 hours they spent
together in a car was also
helpful in that it allowed
them time to learn what the
others were doing in their
schools.
Busing
Ronnie Skallet was intro-
duced as the Districts new
transportation supervisor.
Skallet replaces Kent
Benson who left for a job in
another community.
During the meeting
Monday night, the Board of
Education approved a five-
year lease agreement with
Blue Bird for a 2015 route
bus at a net cost of
$89,853.95, and a five-year
lease with Hogland Bus and
Truck Company for a 2015
trip bus at a total net cost of
$123,459.79.
Skallet said the route bus
from Blue Bird, although
more expensive than the low
bid, was a better deal and a
better bus. (The difference
amounted to less than
$3,000.)
Skallet believes coaches
will be vying for the use of
the new trip bus. One fea-
ture hes looking forward to
checking out is the large
storage capacity of the bus.
He thought it was so large,
the hockey team might not
have to use a trailer behind
the bus to haul all their gear.
The Board of
Education approved the
2014-2015 Activities
Handbook. One of the
changes this year is lan-
guage limiting the use of
charter buses.
The policy states that in
determining when charter
buses are to be used the fol-
lowing criteria will be exer-
cised: an activity group has
the ability to rent a charter
bus service when the trip
they are taking will be more
than 175 miles (one way)
from Thief River Falls; and
the request needs to come to
the activities director one
week in advance. Permission
will still need to be obtained
from the activities director.
Activities Director Mike
Biermaier explained that he
hopes this will eliminate last
minute charter bus requests
and unfortunate incidents of
local bus drivers being lined
up for a bus trip only to be
told at the last minute that
the team decided to take a
charter bus.
The 2014-2015 contract
with the Minnesota School
Employee Association was
approved.
The employment of sev-
eral new employees was
approved pending back-
ground checks.
Larson said hiring was
proceeding well, but there
were a couple of teacher
positions and para-profes-
sional positions still open.
She said its getting more
difficult to find teachers to
fill positions in the schools.
According to Larson, its a
problem shared by many
schools in the region and the
state.
School Board
Representative Kevin
Ballard related that it was
his belief that the MTLEs or
Minnesota Teacher
Licensure Examinations
were largely to blame. He
argued that they should
start putting pressure on the
state to go back to Praxis
exams, instead.
The next regular meet-
ing of the Board of
Education will be at 6
p.m. on Monday, Aug. 25,
in the District Service
Center Board Room.
New buses

Bond rating increase
Standard and Poors pro-
vided notice to Pennington
County that its bond rating
has been increased from A-
plus to double-A-minus. A
memo from Standard and
Poors states that the bond
rating increase reflects an
expectation that Pennington
County will maintain a very
strong budgetary flexibility
and liquidity, supported by
strong budgetary perform-
ance, throughout the two-
year outlook period.
County Board begins
work on 2015 budget
The Pennington County
Board got some good news
Tuesday when the Human
Services budget was pre-
sented. The income mainte-
nance portion of the levy will
have an approximate
increase of $50,000 after
years of six-digit increases.
Meanwhile the social
services portion of the levy is
actually expected to
decrease for the first time in
a long time. A contract with
Medica for special needs
basic care has added
$120,000 in new revenue to
the social services budget.
Some of that revenue will go
toward the addition of staff,
but its inclusion has also
lowered the social services
portion of the levy. Based on
current numbers the com-
bined Human Services Levy
would actually decrease.
Commissioners also met
with county Engineer Mike
Flaagan to discuss the vari-
ous budgets under the Road
and Bridge Levy.
Commissioners will contin-
ue meeting with department
leaders for budgeting pur-
poses at the Aug. 26 County
Board meeting.
Pennington County to
pay Bray Township up-
front for turnback
Pennington County
Engineer Mike Flaagan told
commissioners during
Tuesdays meeting that Bray
Township prefers a one-time
up-front payment for return-
ing a little bit less than a
mile and a half of County
Road 67 to township road
(170th Ave W).
As part of a 2013 agree-
ment, Bray Township agreed
to have approximately a
mile and a half of county
roads returned to township
control. Pennington County
will make a one-time pay-
ment of $8,358 to cover
maintenance over the first
two years of the road being a
township road. Pennington
County is required to contin-
ue maintaining the roads for
two years following the turn-
back or make a payment in
lieu of maintenance.
Engineer Mike Flaagan said
Bray Township chose to
receive payment up-front
rather than have the county
continue maintenance for
two years.
Engineers items

Peterson as Highway
Department maintenance
foreman. Peterson comes to
the county with 28 years of

Triple D Construction
of Plummer was awarded
the bid to replace a bridge
crossing on County Road 59,
between Sections 13 and 24
in Sanders Township. Triple
Ds bid was $73,552. Also
bidding were Spruce Valley
and Olson Construction.
Construction is expected to
begin in September.
Other items
authorized the Pennington
County Department of
Human Services to advertise

Office. The grant will be
used to fund transportation
of veterans, as needed, to
access benefits.
Pennington County
will receive a $64,490 divi-
dend payment from
Minnesota Counties
Intergovernmental Trust.
The next meeting of
the Pennington County
Board will be Tuesday,
Aug. 26 at 5 p.m.
Splash park for TRF?/Continued
the council never received a
clear objective from the com-
munity. A 1995 survey
showed residents were split
on whether to construct an
outdoor pool, a family aquat-
ic center or an indoor pool.
In 2007, the council attempt-
ed to obtain state bonding
proceeds to construct an
aquatic center. That attempt
was unsuccessful. In 2012,
the council approved spend-
ing not more than $30,000
for a community wellness
center feasibility study. The
results of that study havent
been released publicly.
Amundson presented
six revenue options
regarding special event
catering at the Imperial
Room. City leaders are try-
ing to raise revenue at
Ralph Engelstad Arena.
REA doesnt have a full-
service kitchen. Amundson
noted it was determined to
be too costly to construct a
kitchen when the city was
building REA. He presented
the following options:
Option A: Similar to
how the city handled outside
catering during the World
Junior Ice Hockey
Championship, a percentage
of audited sales would go to
the city after the sales tax
has been paid. A minimum
bid would be 25 percent of
audited net sales.
Option B: A proposed
percentage of gross revenue
would be paid to the city for
the use of REA.
Option C: The city
would propose a percentage
of audited sales after the
sales tax has been paid with
no minimum bid of audited
net sales.
Option D: The city
would retain a preferred
caterer/bar. The city would
then obtain pricing from the
preferred caterer/bar and
add $1 per plate for food and
$0.50 per drink. Customers
wouldnt be able to choose a
caterer/bar to serve their
gatherings.
Option E: Caterers and
bars would pay a usage fee
to cater food or serve alcohol
at REA on either a per plate
or total gross sales percent-
age. The customer chooses a
preferred caterer/bar from
the list that has agreed to
pay the city a usage fee.
Option F: The customer
pays a higher room rental
fee $1,200 if the cus-
tomer uses an outside cater-
er.
The committee advised
Amundson to seek informa-
tion from other facilities on
how they handle similar sit-
uations.
The committee was
presented with the police
chief position profile cre-
ated by Springsted
Incorporated. Police Chief
Kim Murphys last official
day as police chief is Oct. 3.
The city is seeking some-
one who holds a bachelors
degree in criminal justice or
a related field. Candidates
are required to have at least
five years of experience as a
police officer, including three
years as a sergeant or super-
visor. The position is expect-
ed to pay up to $85,224
depending upon salaries and
experience. Resumes will be
reviewed starting Friday,
Sept. 12.
VFW Auxiliary

New coach is familiar to her players
Kerri Wichael might be
Thief River Falls new high
school volleyball coach, but
introductions were hardly
needed when she stepped on
the court for the start of fall
practice. She was already fa-
miliar with the players after
working with them the past
two summers on Junior
Olympics teams the
Prowlers feeder program.
So far, taking over the
program has been success-
ful, said Wichael, a former
head coach at Wahpeton,
N.D. The first week of try-
outs and practice was great.
I saw a lot of hustle and hard
work, with everyone battling
to make a team. Ive seen im-
provement in all of the girls,
and theyre excited about the
faster game we have been
playing. Ive really been
working with them on the
mental part of the game
knowing when to run certain
routes, and reading the op-
posing team.
Wichael takes over a pro-
gram that has played in
three straight Section 8AA fi-
nals and has compiled a 79-
14-3 record during that run.
The Prowlers lost to Wadena-
Deer Creek in the 2011
championship match; beat
the Wolverines in 2012 to
earn their first-ever trip to
the state tournament, where
they took home the consola-
tion title; and with a return
trip to state on the line, fell
to Fergus Falls in the 2013
section final.
Duplicating that kind of
success could be a challenge
for Wichael and the Prowlers
since graduation losses took
a pretty good bite out of the
line-up. Overall, we are a
young team, but I expect the
younger players to step up
and be ready mentally and
physically, she explained.
Its a trio of returning
starters senior outside hit-
ter and defensive standout
Emily Bergland, senior mid-
dle blocker Madison Brekke;
and junior Meleah Bier-
maier, who is moving to a
new role on the court at out-
side hitter who are ex-
pected to be the Prowlers
front-runners this fall.
We have three key play-
ers returning this year, ac-
knowledged Wichael. We are
really looking to Emily for
leadership on and off the
court. Madison has really
been working on her speed
and arm swing. Meleah has
been working on improving
her passing and defensive
skills. We are excited to
watch these three returners.
Others have made impres-
sions in early drills, accord-
ing to Wichael. We have
been working on filling the
shoes of last years seniors,
she said. Junior Mattlyn Er-
ickson will be starting this
year as setter. Mattlyn has
great hands and has been im-
proving her speed, consis-
tency and leadership every
day. Sophomore Jennicca
Leier has really stepped up
in the middle blocker posi-
tion. Jennicca has impressed
us with her work ethic. We
are working with her on a
faster arm swing.
Competition remains open
for other positions, men-
tioned Wichael, who was
going to look at scrimmage
results to complete her line-
up card and assess areas that
still need work.
Others looking to fit into
the rotation at the varsity
level include senior Morgan
Martell; juniors Mikki Erick-
son, McKenna Blaine, Abbie
Olson and Alexee Nelson.
The program also features
junior Cassidy Wheeler;
sophomores Claire Mattson,
Brenna Schaefer, Janaka Er-
ickson, Macie Kezar, Carly
Cervantes, Erin Kraemer,
Mariah Nelson; freshmen
Kylea Praska, Bailey Green,
Maddie Stewart, Jaimee Nel-
son, Kendra Wiggs, Kaitlyn
Bakken, Tiahna Nicholson,
Grace Bergland, Tessa Jorde,
Abby Kraemer, Kassidy Mol-
stad, Cayley Sabol, Kathy
Szymanski, Morghan Bugge,
Kayla Selvig, Leah Kainz,
Abbie Nomeland; and eighth
grader Becca Leier.
Our focus this year is pos-
itivity and togetherness, of-
fered Wichael. Those traits
will help the rest of the
pieces fall into place.

A lone fisherman sat on the riverbank
trying his luck Saturday morning during
the Thief River Falls Lions Club Fishing
Tournament.
Pioneers have solid nucleus to build around
Anchored by a returning
First-Team All-America se-
lection, the 2014 Northland
Community and Technical
College volleyball team has
its sights set on returning to
the national tournament
stage this fall.
The Pioneers made back
to back trips to the National
Junior College Athletic Asso-
ciation Division III tourna-
ment in 2011 and 20012, but
a bid for a three-peat ended
with a loss to Central Lakes
in the 2013 NJCAA Region
13B finals.
Four players return from
that 23-8 squad that went
12-2 and finished second be-
hind unbeaten Central Lakes
in the Minnesota College
Athletic Conference North-
ern Division standings.
Tori Davidson of New-
folden, a former volleyball-
basketball standout for the
Northern Freeze, is the focal
point of the Pioneers line-up.
The 6-footer, who is used as a
combination middle hitter-
setter, wound up with an im-
pressive collection of
post-season honors last fall
when she was selected as
First-Team MCAC All-North-
ern Division, All-MCAC,
NJCAA All-Region 13 and
All-America, while also land-
ing a spot on the Region 13B
all-tournament team.
Numbers backed up
Davidsons all-everything
status. She finished her
freshman year with 213 kills,
358 assists, 54 blocks, 161
digs and 35 service aces.
Joining Davidson as sec-
ond-year teammates are
Crystal Amundson, a 6-0
middle hitter from Thief
River Falls; Katlyn
Byfuglien, a 5-11 outside hit-
ter from Roseau; and
Heather Nelson, a 5-2 defen-
sive specialist from Roseau.
A fifth sophomore on hand
is Michele Green, a 5-7 out-
side hitter from Greenbush.
There are eight freshmen
on the roster, including three
Thief River Falls products: 5-
8 outside hitter Brooke An-
derson; 6-0 right side hitter
Courtney Amirayan; and 5-3
defensive specialist Hannah
Kraemer.
The other first-year
Northland players are Tori
Mekash, a 5-8 outside hitter,
and Shanyce Bishop, a 5-4
setter, Greenbush; Shylee
Lehman, 5-11 middle hitter,
Fertile; Cheyenne Woods, 5-5
outside-right side hitter, Be-
midji; and Jessica Cater-
nang, 5-9 middle-outside
hitter, Grand Forks, N.D.
Abdul Chamma returns
for his sixth season as North-
land head coach, and is again
assisted by Courtney Nordby.
Our team looks good this
year, said Chamma, whose
overall record with the Pio-
neers is 97-45.
Chamma is excited about
the Pioneers 2014 prospects.
Im looking forward to the
season, he said. Very tal-
ented team. Very fun to work
with these girls. They are
very committed to excel-
lence.
Northland starts the year
at the Minnesota State-Fer-
gus Falls Invitational Aug.
23. The Pioneers will make
their home debut with Aug.
29-30 Northern Division
matches Friday night
against Vermilion and Satur-
day afternoon vs. Mesabi
Range.
With the school adminis-
trations decision not to field
a football team this year, all
of the fall sports attention at
Northland will be on the vol-
leyball squad.

Prowlers go 2-1
in season debut
n Tennis team opens with
matches at Park Rapids
Two one-sided wins and a
close loss marked the 2014
debut for the Thief River
Falls girls high school tennis
team.
Competing at the North-
South Challenge hosted by
Park Rapids Friday, the
Prowlers opened with a 6-1
win over Minnewaska Area,
dropped a 4-3 contest to
Mound Westonka, then fin-
ished with a 7-0 shutout
against Pine City.
Overall, we played pretty
well, reported Thief River
Falls coach Matt Okeson.
Our serving was much bet-
ter than where we left off at
the end of last season. We
still need to work on doing a
better job moving our feet.
Kora Torkelson, Callie
Fagerstrom, Carly Lunsetter
and Shawna Spears provided
the Prowlers with a singles
sweep against Minnewaska
Area. Allie Okeson-Kira
Bieier and Fran Marshall-
Sadie Cleven picked up
points in doubles.
The three Thief River
Falls points against Mound
Westonka came from the
doubles combinations of
Juliet Tunberg-Spears; Mar-
shall-Allie Okeson; and Isha
Patell-Cleven.
We were two pretty
evenly-matched teams,
pointed out Okeson. It was a
matter of winning tie-break-
ers.
Thief River Falls final-
match victory over Pine City
included singles wins by
Torkelson, Fagerstrom, Lun-
setter and Spears, along with
doubles wins by Tunberg-
Okeson, Marshal-Elle Jor-
genson, and Karryn
Leake-Beier.
We changed our line-up
in all three matches, ex-
plained Okeson. Were using
14 players right now to figure
out our best combinations.
Weekend wins by Patel,
Cleven, Leake and Beier
were their first victories at
the varsity level, it was noted
by their coach.

Smash & Dash
by Scott DCamp
Reporter

Pennington County Fair
Demolition Derby winners
Jamen Foss and Chelsea Sor-
teberg were repeat winners
at the Smash & Bash Demo-
lition Derby in St. Hilaire,
Saturday, Aug. 16.
Foss swept both his quali-
fying heat and the Old Iron
Feature, much like he did
during the Pennington
County Fair derby. Second
place in the Old Iron went to
Cole Davidson. Adam Ko-
ralewski, Tony Fletcher and
Shannon Gilbertson rounded
out the top five.
Sorteberg qualified for the
feature with a third place fin-
ish in the second Pick-Up
qualifying heat. Sortebergs
victory in the Pick-up Fea-
ture made her a repeat
champion at the Smash &
Bash. It was also her fourth
consecutive win in Penning-
ton County.
Rounding out the top five in
the Pick-Up feature were An-
drew Johnson, Anthony Win-
ter, Josh Haverkamp and
Blake DeHate.
Other winners were
Austin Opdahl in the Herbie
class; Jon Rudnik in the 80s
and Newer class; and Joey
Halvorson was victorious in

TRF girls win tournament
It was a title-winning per-
formance for Thief River
Falls Saturday at the Park
Rapids Invitational girls
high school tennis tourna-
ment.
The Prowlers finished
with a 28-22 winning mar-
gin over second place Park
Rapids Area in the eight-
team event.
Thief River Falls team
title was complemented by
three championship per-
formances: sophomore Callie
Fagerstrom, No. 2 singles; a
combination of junior Elle
Jorgenson and freshman
Kira Beier, No. 4 singles;
and sophomores Allie
Okeson and Shawna Spears,
No. 2 doubles.
It was the second outing
of the year for the Prowlers,
who made their debut by
winning two of three match-
es in a North-South
Challenge hosted by Park
Rapids Area Thursday.
The girls competed well,
said Thief River Falls coach
Matt Okeson. We played
girls where they were more
comfortable, instead of try-
ing new spots in the line-up.
Nice to see the girls get
rewarded for their work this
off-season.
Rounding out the
Prowlers line-up for the day
were sophomore Kora
Torkelson, who lost in the
consolation finals at No. 1
singles; freshman Karryn
Leake, who lost in the third
place match at No. 3 singles;
juniors Juliet Tunberg and
Carly Lunsetter, runner-up
at No. 1 doubles; senior Fran
Marshall and sophomores
Sadie Cleven and Isha Patel,
who combined for a third
place finish at No. 3 doubles.
Okeson is happy with the
progress his team has made
since starting practice Aug.
11. Nice to see girls try
some of the things we
worked on in practice on the
doubles side, he said. We
need to be a little more
aggressive as a whole, but
did put the ball away pretty
well once the opportunity
arrived.
A busy week for the
Prowlers had them at dou-
ble-duals in Virgina Tuesday
and Eveleth-Gilbert today
(Wednesday), along with an
appearance at the Crookston
Invitational Saturday.

Advantage RV Modified
Tour made it's first-ever stop
at the Greenbush Race Park
Saturday, and the action
didn't disappoint the fans or
drivers in attendance.
The top six drivers in the
point standings were on
hand, with the top four sepa-
rated by only 42 points.
Manitoba driver Danny
Staff (East St. Paul) headed
the 22-car field to the green
flag and would lead the first
10 laps before caution flags
started to fly. On a restart,
Jason Grimes (Jamestown,
N.D.) would use the high
side to move into second
place ahead of Dave Cain,
and one lap later would use
the same line to pass Staff
for the lead.
Grimes, who started in
the eighth spot, was never
challenged after taking the
lead as the field went cau-
tion-free for the last 30 laps.
Cain would get by Staff with
10 laps to go for second.
Eighteen cars took the
track for the Midwest modi-
fied feature, and it would
take three tries before the
drivers would get in one lap
of green flag racing.
From his fifth place start-
ing position, Travis Saurer
would lead the field to the
green flag, and although the
race was slowed by two more
yellows, Saurer would main-
tain his advantage on the
field by using the high side
in Corners 3 and 4 and the
bottom in 1 and 2 to pick up
the win.
The Streets would run 15
caution-free laps, with pole-
setter Nick Linert taking the
early lead. But on Lap 2,
Aaron BlackLance would get
under Linert coming out of
Corner 2 and was never
pushed as he led the last 13
laps.
Meanwhile, the race for
second, third and forth was
a good one between Heath
Corneliusen, Jordan Duray
and Ryan Johnson. Duray
would get by Corneliusen for
second, with Johnson finish-
ing third and Corneliusen
fourth.
Pure stock feature only
had one caution when the
left rear wheel of Jordan
Wasnie came off on the first
lap. A.J. Lane would be out
in front on the restart, but
on Lap 4 he was passed by
Bryce Corneliusen on the
backstretch.
Corneliusen was by him-
self out front but it was Les
McRae and Jerome Berger
who had the real race, as the
two swapped second and
third positions a couple of
times over the last eight or
nine laps. The win went to
Corneliusen.
During a Pure stock heat
race, Mike Vagle would hit
the front wall hard and roll,
coming to rest on his roof
just under the flag stand.
Vagle did jump from the car
uninjured but his night was
over.
Lightning sprints had an
unusual amount of yellows
as six cautions slowed the
race considerably, including
three tries at a green-white-
checkered finish.
When the checkers flew,
Chris Sorin got the win.
Kyle Cole came home second
and Brayden Pengilly third.
There are only two week-
ends of racing left at the
Greenbush Race Park.
Saturday, Aug. 23, will be
the final visit of the year by
the NOSA sprints. Also rac-
ing that night will be the
regular WISSOTA classes of
modifieds, Midwest modi-
fieds, and Streets, along
with the Pure stocks.
Racing starts at 7 p.m.

Senators Amy Klobuchar
and Al Franken and
Congressman Collin
Peterson announced a waiv-
er that will expedite a criti-
cal propane infrastructure
project. This announcement
comes after Klobuchar,
Franken, and Peterson sent
a letter to the Army Corps of
Engineers to urge their
immediate consideration
and allow the project to
move forward without
unnecessary delay.
The sharp decline in the
propane supply this past
winter increased prices for
families and businesses and
put the safety of
Minnesotans at risk, said
Klobuchar. This new termi-
nal will help alleviate the
infrastructure and trans-
portation bottleneck that
chocked off supply and left
insufficient propane sup-
plies for Minnesotans.
When the propane crisis
hit last winter, I traveled
around Minnesota and
heard from families and pro-
ducers about how much it
hurt them, said Franken. I
heard from everyone - from
homeowners who couldnt
afford to heat their homes to
turkey growers who couldnt
heat their barns. This new
project will help bring much-
needed propane to
Minnesota.
"Last winter's propane
shortage meant
Minnesotans paid near
record prices to heat their
homes and left many facing
uncertainty about propane
access in the future,"
Peterson said. "The waiver
will allow this project to
move forward, helping
address the barriers that
caused the propane shortage
by increasing propane sup-
plies in advance of the fall
and winter season."
The proposed project is
being put forward by Dooley
Petroleum of Benson. It
includes the installation of a
railroad unloading track
capable of storing one mil-
lion gallons of propane to
resupply their existing 1.5
million gallon terminal facil-
ity. Any delays in the project
could jeopardize the supply
of propane available crop
drying and heating season
this winter.
Last winter, the Midwest
experienced a major short-
age in propane that caused a
drastic spike in price. More
than 200,000 households in
Minnesota rely on propane
as their main source of heat.
The full text of the law-
makers letter is below:
Dear Lieutenant General
Bostick:
We are writing to request
your assistance and immedi-
ate consideration of an
application for a permit
recently submitted by
Dooley Petroleum of Benson,
an affiliate of Alliance
Energy Services, so that a
critical propane infrastruc-
ture project in our state can
move forward without
unnecessary delay.
The need for this project
emerged suddenly as house-
holds and businesses in
Minnesota saw significant
spikes in the price of
propane fuels during last
winters severe cold. An esti-
mated 230,000 farms,
homes, and businesses may
lose access to propane sup-
ply as Kinder Morgans
Cochin pipeline flow is
reversed.
With nearly 40 percent of
the states propane flowing
through the Cochin pipeline,
our constituents may be left
without the fuel necessary to
heat their homes and keep
their livestock and poultry
barns warm if additional
supply of propane is not
ready to replace the lost fuel.
These propane infrastruc-
ture changes, combined with
increased competition for
limited rail cars, have fur-
ther exacerbated the logisti-
cal issues many Minnesota
distributors have faced in
storing and sourcing the
propane needed to heat
homes and operate grain
dryers.
The proposed project
includes the installation of a
railroad unloading track
capable of storing one mil-
lion gallons of propane to
resupply their existing 1.5
million gallon terminal facil-
ity. If the proposed project is
not constructed and opera-
tional by September, there
will not be sufficient sup-
plies of propane available to
meet crop drying and home
heating needs. The St. Paul
District of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers proposed
timeline of up to 120 days for
completing the permit
process will not allow the
project to be operational by
this September.
We all agree that we must
do everything we can to pre-
vent a propane shortage like
our state faced last winter.
Minnesotans also take very
seriously our responsibility
to ensure that our natural
resources are maintained
and protected for future gen-
erations to enjoy. Thats why
the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources, the
Minnesota Department of
Agriculture, the Minnesota
Board of Water and Soil
Resources, and Swift County
all have protections in place
to ensure that any negative
impacts by this project are
mitigated and procedures
are delineated in the project
to protect these resources.
During your review of the
pending permit application,
we urge you and your staff to
work closely with the rele-
vant stakeholders and state
and local government agen-
cies, especially when per-
mits have already been
granted to the project. The
Corps of Engineers, the proj-
ect sponsors and the
American taxpayers all ben-
efit when we eliminate
duplicative or redundant
permitting on a project that
has already met a standard
for protection that is equal
to or stronger than the fed-
eral level of project.
The construction of the
new terminal will prove crit-
ical in providing timely
propane delivery while guar-
anteeing storage to ade-
quately supply home heat-
ing and agricultural needs
this fall and winter but only
if the project is completed in
time.
The number of candi-
dates who have filed for
office is not all that sur-
prising given the recent
controversies particular-
ly in our city govern-
ment, but I think the
number of candidates
who have filed is a good
indication that citizens
are interested in the
future of their communi-
ty.
What it will take to
win the election in a
crowded field is quite
another topic. Good
looks and a large num-
ber of political signs
wont win the election.
Voters, especially in
Thief River Falls, are
influenced by politics,
and stands on issues
such as transparency
and accountability in
government, housing
and jobs. While I
already said voters
arent influenced by the
number of signs one
sees about town, voters
are influenced by the
amount of effort a candi-
date puts into cam-
paigning, and by what
people are talking about
in the local cafes, water
coolers at the office and
coffee shops.
A closer look at one of
the issues candidates
will have to address this
year may help explain
the current controver-
sies in city government.
Thief River Falls has
been at the crossroads
for sometime now. As
many see it, we either
decide to do nothing and
keep the status quo or
we decide to embrace
growth and change. We
havent had a say in
some changes because of
the pace at which those
changes took place. I
believe citizens are now
saying we can do more
than just cope. Citizens
now seem willing to step
forward and participate
in the decisions to move
forward.
A blog about change
that was written by
Robert C. Pozen, a sen-
ior lecturer of Business
Administration at
Harvard Business
School, included an
interesting observation.
In his 2013 blog, he
said, When presented
with a potential change
we usually weigh the
potential losses more
heavily than the poten-
tial gains. For some
people, change is so
frightening that they
are unable to proceed or
make a decision. As
noted by Pozen, others
focus largely on negative
outcomes. We shouldnt
focus entirely on our
potential losses, nor do I
believe most citizens
believe that doing noth-
ing is an option. We are
at the juncture of a
great opportunity for
this community and it
needs to move forward
with changes that
address roads, homes,
utilities and parks.
Everyone acknowl-
edges that change is dif-
ficult, so how do we
adapt? Some change is
inevitable and we
should expect those
changes. There are also
things we can do to
lessen the impact of
major change - such as
relying on economic fun-
damentals and integrity
because they are critical
to finding long-term
solutions and guiding us
in our planning. By
integrity I believe they
are saying our values,
principles and beliefs.
Change is never easy,
so there have been a
number of controversies
locally. Not all of the
controversies have been
about the growth taking
place in the community.
Some of the disagree-
ments have been about
individual behavior,
integrity - trustworthi-
ness, transparency or
openness in government
- principles critical to
effective government
and finding long-term
solutions.
When voters go to the
polls in November or are
approached by candi-
dates vying for office,
voters should consider
whether the candidates
are competent, they
share their values and
principles and also
whether the candidate
can partner with or col-
laborate with others to
get things done and help
move this community
forward.
Voters in Thief River
Falls will have plenty of
candidates to choose
from. It also seems that
the rhetoric is really
beginning to heat up
and giving everyone
plenty to talk about or
read in the local news-
paper. This all leads to
the obvious - that this
should make for an
interesting local election
year.
Stop the
closure of
U.S. mail
processing
centers
Senators Amy Klobuchar
(D-Minn.) and Al Franken
(D-Minn.) urged key Senate
appropriators to take action
to prevent the closure of
mail processing centers in
Duluth, Bemidji, St. Cloud,
and Mankato.
In a bipartisan letter sent
Thursday, Klobuchar,
Franken, and 48 others
pressed the Senate
Appropriations Committee,
which sets the levels of
funding for specific pro-
grams in the budget, to
delay the shutdown of mail
processing centers and give
Congress the opportunity to
finish comprehensive postal
reform.
The Postal Service has
already consolidated 141
mail processing facilities
since 2012, wrote
Klobuchar and Franken. As
the postal network has been
weakened, service delivery
has suffered. Since the
Postal Service slowed down
the delivery of First-Class
Mail over two years ago by
revising its service stan-
dards, it has been more dif-
ficult for the American pub-
lic and small businesses to
receive mail in a timely
manner. Slowing down mail
delivery even further will
hurt senior citizens on fixed
incomes, small businesses
and the entire economy.
The United States
Postal Service is facing
many serious challenges.
While a number of reform
proposals have been intro-
duced in both the Senate
and the House to tackle
these problems over the
past several years, we have
yet to enact legislation. In
the absence of congressional
compromise, the Postal
Service has proposed more
sweeping changes to its
operations.
The postmaster general
has announced that the
Postal Service will consoli-
date up to 82 more mail pro-
cessing facilities and elimi-
nate up to 15,000 more jobs
in 2015. This wave of clo-
sures will directly impact 37
states across our nation,
and more importantly, the
citizens who count on their
Postal Service to be reliable.
At a time when our middle-
class is disappearing, the
loss of 15,000 good-paying
Postal Service jobs will
harm our local communities
and economies.
Franken and Klobuchar
requested that language be
included in any omnibus
appropriations legislation or
continuing resolution that
would prevent the USPS
from closing or consolidat-
ing any more area mail pro-
cessing facilities during
Fiscal Year 2015.
In addition, they asked
that language be included
that would require USPS to
maintain and comply with
service standards for First-
Class Mail and periodicals
effective on July 1, 2012.
Waiver would expedite critical
propane infrastructure project

POLICIES
U.S. Senator Amy
Klobuchar (D-MN), chair-
person of the Judiciary
Antitrust Subcommittee,
held a hearing on pricing
and competition in the con-
tact lens industry.
Contact lens manufactur-
ers have begun implement-
ing Unilateral Price
Policies that require retail-
ers to sell certain contact
lenses at or above a set price
or they wont be allowed to
sell the product. The hearing
examined whether these
policies decrease competi-
tion and lead to higher
prices for consumers by
eliminating the ability of
retailers to discount.
More than 35 million
Americans rely on contact
lenses as an essential part of
their daily lives, and these
consumers deserve fair
prices, Klobuchar said.
With three of the top four
contact lens manufacturers
requiring retailers to sell
lenses at a set minimum
price, we need to be clear-
eyed about how these poli-
cies are impacting con-
sumers and competition,
and thats what todays hear-
ing was all about.

and the date of filing set later. The letter in full is herewith
published:

Goodridge Enjoys Business Boom
Goodridge Mercantile Company Incorporation For
$25,000 -- Buys Lots in New Townsite
John Guynan Will Lay Out Building Lots
Former Norman and Lincoln County Officials Will
Be Connected With New Enterprises
The town of Goodridge, twenty miles east of Thief
River Falls, and the present terminus of the Minnesota
Northwestern Electric Railroad, bids to be one of the enter-
prising young towns in northern Minnesota. Several new
enterprises have already been started and during the com-
ing fall Goodridge will have become a well-regulated vil-
lage.
This week the Goodridge Mercantile Company, a
$25,000 corporation, was organized for the purpose of car-
rying on a general mercantile business. The incorporators
are: M. G. Torrison of Highlanding, Rasmus Oen, Theo.
Gilbertson, C. Granum, G. Granum, Ed Ness, T. Reierson
and A. Buringrud, all of this city. The company has already
purchased building lots and will commence work on the
foundation of the store during the coming week. M. G.
Torrison and Theo. Gilbertson will have active manage-
ment of the store as soon as it is completed this fall.
John Guynan, owner of a 40-acre tract adjoining the
right of way, on the new railroad and directly across the
track from the townsite of Goodridge, will sub-divide the
land and plat it into lots. The land is high and level and
particularly adapted for business and residential lots.
J. P. Jensen of Ivanhoe, Minnesota, formerly register
of deeds of Lincoln county, was in the city the first of the
week. He is interested in one of the banks that will be
established in the new town.
A. C. Tvedt, formerly county treasurer of Norman
county, who is interested in the promotion of a hardware
store in the new town, was also a Thief River Falls visitor
the first of the week.
Finds Burglars Kit
Two boys playing in the vicinity of the Thief River
Grocery Companys wholesale house yesterday morning,
found a complete set of burglars tools, which they at once
turned over to Chief of Police Berge. The kit was tied in a
small sack and was composed of three small files and two
thin bars of steel. The ends of the bars were skillfully filed
to fit the average lock and the work appeared to be that of
a professional. No clue to the owner can be found.
Dont you feel sorry for the poor members of the
automobile workers union who are forced to threaten a
strike because they are paid an average of only about
$125 a week?
And while we are commending local firms for
improvements in the business district, we should not
overlook Gene Gaers Ben Franklin store and Ekerens
Pharmacy.
Too many fellows give unremitting attention to their
bills.
The crudest political statement we have heard of
recently came from Postmaster General John
Gronowski, who told a Minnesota group that the best
way to get a new postoffice for your town was to elect a
Democratic Congressman.
The nation is suffering another cultural setback.
The Beatles are performing before tremendous audi-
ences throughout the country.
Judging from advance style reports, women will
wear skirts no longer.
Neil Mattson tells in the Warren Sheaf about the
fellow who stepped up to the bar very optimistically, and
two hours later walked out very misty optically.
A popular drink in the southern states, we are
advised, is Gold water.
Signing a note is quite different from singing a note.
If this column is missing from next Wednesdays edi-
tion of the Times, it may be due to the fact that we are
spending the week at a lake in the Brainerd area.

United States.
duced by Commissioner Tveitbakk,
seconded by Commissioner Jensen,
ried.
RESOLUTION
OPPOSTION TO NEW EPA
REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, Pennington County,
Minnesota has experienced long-term
and costly delays to its road construc-
tion projects and wetland banking proj-
ect due to the Army Corps definitions
for Waters of the U.S. and its opera-
tions.
WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme
Court has stated that an applicant
spends an average of 788 days of time
and $271,596 to obtain and individual
404 U.S. Corps permit. The Supreme
Court chastised these agencies in the
2001 SWANCC case and the 2006
Rapanos case for regulatory over-
reaching and these agencies have
refused to adapt to the push back they
continue to receive from taxpaying
landowners.
WHEREAS, these agencies are
currently using interpretive guidelines
established by the EPA in 2011 and
these guidelines do not grant them final
authority.
WHEREAS, the EPA now wishes to
adopt new regulations which will
indeed grant them final authority in
matters dealing with waters of the U.S.
and will include regulation of man-
made ditches, public drains, tributaries,
adjacent & neighboring wetlands,
ecoregion, significant nexus, surface
connection, ground water connection,
discharge and possibly more.
Regulation of these latter items has
currently resulted in high levels of con-
fusion, delays and increased permitting
costs for the applicants. It has also
allowed the EPA and the Corps to far
exceed their applicable regulatory,
statutory, and constitutional limits. In
addition, this regulation is redundant to
State wetland regulations that are
already in place and mitigate wetland
impacts from a prepaid wetland bank of
credits for road projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that Pennington County,
Minnesota hereby opposes the new
EPA proposed regulations that would
replace the 2011 interpretive guidelines
they are currently following concerning
the Clean Waters Act definition for
Water of the United States.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that
Pennington County, Minnesota will sup-
port EPA and Corps regulation of tradi-
tional navigable waters only.
Engineer Flaagan informed the
County Board that a new TZD grant
application was due by June 30th,
2014. The following resolution was
introduced by Commissioner Hempel,
seconded by Commissioner Jensen,
ried.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT
BE IT RESOLVED, that Pennington
County enter into an agreement with
the Minnesota Department of Public
Safety, for traffic safety projects during
the period from October 1st, 2014
through September 30th, 2015.
The Pennington County Auditor is
hereby authorized to execute such
agreements and amendments as are
necessary to implement the project on
behalf of Pennington County and to be
the fiscal agent and administer the
grant.
Engineer Flaagan then gave a
report on the status of the construction
projects.
Hempel, to approve the Board minutes
of May 13th, 2014 as written. Motion
Tveitbakk, to approve payment of the
Auditor and Manual warrants for April,
2014 totaling $818,385.94, the Human
Service warrants totaling $69,943.97,
and also the following Commissioner

Tveitbakk, to accept the resignation of
Assistant County Engineer Ben Pribula
effective June 13th, 2014 and thank
him for his service to Pennington
County. Motion carried.
Hempel, seconded by Commissioner,
to recess the County Board meeting
until 6:30 p.m. Motion carried.
At 6:30 p.m. the County Board
meeting was called back to session
and at this time the Chairman called to
order the Five-Year Road & Bridge Plan
Hearing as advertised. In attendance
was Scott DCamp - The Times, and
Ben Owen - KTRF/KSNR Radio. The
County Engineer reviewed the Five-
Year Road and Bridge Plan, listing the
projects planned year by year. Hearing
no questions, the hearing was closed at

Action on the Five-Year Road &
Bridge Plan was held over for a future

EARLY NOTICE AND PUBLIC
REVIEW OF A PROPOSED
ACTIVITY IN A WETLAND
This is to give notice that Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency has deter-
mined that the following proposed
action under HUD Risk Share and
HUD project number 092-98116 is
located in a wetland, and Minnesota
Housing will be identifying and evalu-
ating practicable alternatives to locat-
ing the action in the wetland and the
potential impacts on the wetland from
the proposed action, as required by
Executive Order 11990, in accor-
dance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR
55.20 Subpart C Procedures for
Making Determinations on Floodplain
Management and Protection of
Wetlands. River Pointe Townhomes
is a new construction proposal for
the development of a 24-unit multi-
family rental housing project on 3.55
acres. 1.6 acres of the site is classi-
fied as wetland. 10 of the 24 units
will be located in the designated
wetland area. The proposed project
is located at 1001-1032 Alice Drive in
Thief River Falls, Pennington
County.
There are three primary purposes
for this notice. First, people who may
be affected by activities in wetlands
and those who have an interest in the
protection of the natural environment
should be given an opportunity to
express their concerns and provide
information about these areas.
Commenters are encouraged to offer
alternative sites outside of the wet-
land, alternative methods to serve the
same project purpose, and methods to
minimize and mitigate impacts.
Second, an adequate public notice pro-
gram can be an important public edu-
cational tool. The dissemination of
information and request for public com-
ment about wetlands can facilitate and
enhance Federal efforts to reduce the
risks and impacts associated with the
occupancy and modification of these
special areas. Third, as a matter of fair-
ness, when the Federal government
determines it will participate in actions
taking place in wetlands, it must inform
those who may be put at greater or
continued risk.
Written comments must be
received by Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency at the following
address on or before September 4,
2014: Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency, 300 Sibley Street, Suite 400,
St. Paul, MN 55101 and 651-296-
9821, Attention: Jennifer Wille,
Certified Environmental Officer. A full
description of the project may also be
reviewed from 8:00 am 4:30 pm at
the above address. Comments may
also be submitted via email to jen-
nifer.wille@state.mn.us.

MNsure online
software
installed
Major components installed,
work to configure system
continues
The main software com-
ponents that will make up
the MNsure online
exchange are now being
installed and work contin-
ues to make the system
ready for open enrollment in
November.
This past weekend, IBM
installed the final versions
of software designed to
determine eligibility for
public programs and tax
credits and allow consumers
to enroll in Qualified Health
Plans. The new version of
the IBM software also
includes new base functions
that will allow consumers to
automatically renew cover-
age or make changes to cov-
erage due to life events,
such as having a child or
getting married. Compon -
ents built by EngagePoint
and Connecture will be
added in the next two
weeks.
Once the primary soft-
ware is in place, the integra-
tion and customization work
to complete the exchange
will continue through the
month of August. System
testing is scheduled to begin
in early September.
We are making good
progress and keeping to our
schedule, but we have a lot
to get done before this sys-
tem is ready for open enroll-
ment, said Brian Beutner,
MNsure board chairman.
We are also making sure
we are ready to react to
problems. It isnt realistic to
assume that everything is
going to work perfectly, and
thats why we are going to
have contingencies in
place.
Since the launch of
MNsure, 289,445
Minnesotans have enrolled
in quality, affordable cover-
age through MNsure.
172,896 are enrolled in
Medical Assistance, 63,058
in MinnesotaCare and
53,491 in a Qualified Health
Plan. Between Sept. 30,
2013, and May 1, 2014, the
number of uninsured
Minnesotans fell by 40.6
percent to a record low.
