New metering
increases rates
by April Scheinoha
Reporter
Electric rates are slated to
increase in the city of Thief
River Falls. The Thief River
Falls City Council heard
about the proposal at its
meeting Tuesday, April 15.
The council is expected to ap-
prove the increase at its next
meeting Tuesday, May 6.
Rates are expected to in-
crease 2 percent for the Ad-
vanced Meter Infrastructure
system set to be installed
this summer. That amounts
to an increase of $1.40 per
month for residential cus-
tomers and $3.60 per month
for commercial customers.
The surcharge is also ex-
pected to increase $0.001 to
$0.004 for all kilowatt-hours.
As a result, rates will in-
crease anywhere from $1.68
per month to $43.10 per
month depending on a resi-
dential customers usage.
Commercial rates will in-
crease between $3.91 per
month and $43.10 per
month. The city provided ex-
amples of industrial cus-
tomers whose rates will
increase between $48.34 per
month and $1,791 per
month.
The increase is expected to
garner $402,457 to cover the
increased cost of purchased
power, the AMI and an in-
crease in coincidental de-
mand.
City Council approved
purchasing a 2015 Ford F-
450 and a contractors
body for the Street/
Sanitation Department. It
purchased the F-450 from
Thief River Ford at a cost of
$34,645 and the contractors
body off the state bid list
from Berts Truck Equipment
for $10,360. With sales tax,
the entire purchase will cost
$48,099.09.
The city requested quotes
from the other two local deal-
ers, but they werent able to
provide a quote for a vehicle
of this size.
The purchase led to some
discussion among council
members. Council Member
Don Sollom said the F-450
could have been purchased
from the state bid for $207
less, but the committee in-
stead recommended purchas-
ing the vehicle locally.
Both Council Member
Glen Kajewski and Mayor
Jim Dagg raised concerns
about that decision. They
Great Lakes gets bid
for airport service
by Scott DCamp
Reporter

The Untied States Depart-
ment of Transportation has
reselected Great Lakes Avia-
tion to provide Essential Air
Service at the Thief River
Falls Regional Airport for a
two-year term from June 1,
2014 through May 31, 2016.
Great Lakes will utilize a
reconfigured 19-passenger
Beech1900D aircraft to pro-
vide non-stop service to Min-
neapolis/St. Paul
International Airport for two
round trip flights per week-
day and two roundtrip flights
each weekend for a grand
total of 12 roundtrip flights
per week. Great Lakes an-
nual subsidy will be
$2,428,750.
The 19-passenger aircraft
utilized on the route have
been reconfigured to include
just nine seats. The new con-
figuration will allow Great
Lakes Airlines to operate
under the regulations of FAA
Part 135, which establishes a
minimum flight experience
for co-pilots at 250 hours.
Part 135 is intended more for
freight transportation and
limits passengers to nine or
fewer.
During its previous EAS
contract with the Thief River
Falls Regional Airport, Great
Lakes was required to oper-
ate under FAA Part 121. On
July 31, 2013 and prior, co-
pilots needed just 250 hours
of experience to obtain their
Airline Transport Pilot,
which is required to fly under
Part 121.

Work continues on a storm sewer lift station for the Greenwood Street railroad
underpass project. The work is expected to be completed soon. Other work still
needs to be completed on the project. To facilitate the completion of the project,
the Greenwood Street railroad underpass will be closed sometime between mid-
May and mid-June.

City pool discussion
bubbles up, again
by April Scheinoha
Reporter
A $7,500 budget adjust-
ment led to a discussion
about a possible Thief River
Falls community wellness
center at the Thief River
Falls City Council meeting
Tuesday, April 15.
Council Member Rachel
Prudhomme said she was
taken aback when reading
the budget adjustments for
2013. She noted a $7,500 bill
for a study regarding a com-
munity wellness center.
In April 2012, the council
approved spending not more
than $30,000 for a commu-
nity wellness center feasibil-
ity study. To date, $16,150
has been spent on the study,
which will be completed by
Ballard*King Associates Ltd.
A total of $237,112.73 was in
the citys Swimming Pool
Fund as of Dec. 31, 2013.
In November 2012, a com-
munity meeting was held to
ask residents opinions on
what they would like to see
at a proposed community

School calendar
includes changes
by David Hill
Editor
Next years calendar is
still being considered. During
the regularly scheduled
meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation for School District 564
on April 14, the board looked
at two proposals, both of
which included some major
changes including moving
graduation day to May 29 - a
week after Memorial Day
weekend, the Friday before
which has been graduation
day for many years.
Goals outlined for the cal-
endar this year included in-
creasing student-contact
days by two days, looking at
the break around Easter so
as to not affect it, and provid-
ing technology inservice
days.

Drago to perform at Trinity
by Brandi Chaffee
UND Alumni Association
The Trinity Lutheran
Church Winter Concert
Series continues with Dr.
Alejandro Drago on Sunday,
April 27 at 3 p.m. at the
Thief River Falls church. A
reception will be held follow-
ing the concert.
Hailed by music critics as
a superb musician with the
classical virtuosity of a
Heifetz or Perlman, the
suave caf style of Florian
Zabach and the jazzy
insouciance of Stephane
Grappelli, Drago has criss-
crossed the line between
concerto virtuoso and jazz
soloist. His versatile musi-
cianship has allowed him to
be successful with many
diverse styles and genres.
His discography in France,
the United States and
Argentina includes string
quartets, concertos, avant-
garde tangos for the EMI
International label and
works for solo violin CD dis-
tributed internationally by
Naxos Music Library Japan
and CD Tradition.
Dragos life in music
began in his native
Argentina where, as a small
child, he accompanied his
mother, a professional tango
dancer, to the venues where
she performed. His mother
introduced him to Antonio
Agri, who spent many years
as a violinist with renowned
composer and bandonen
player Astor Piazzolla. Agri
recommended him to a
member of his string ensem-
ble who instructed him in
the basics of music theory.
He received a scholarship
from the Russian govern-
ment to study at Moscow
State Conservatory under
Marina Yashvili, and
obtained his Master of Fine
Arts in violin performance
and pedagogy. In 2008, he
received a masters degree in
violin performance and a
Doctor of Musical Arts in
orchestral conducting from
the University of Southern
Mississippi
As a soloist, Drago has
performed in the Great Hall
at the Moscow Conservatory,
the Saint Petersburg
Philharmonic Hall (with the
St. Petersburg Philharmonic
Orchestra), Teatro Coln de
Buenos Aires, The Kennedy
Center and the Kolarac Zal
of Belgrade. He has toured
extensively in Russia, the
United States, China,
Austria, Lithuania, Taiwan,
Belarus, France, Brazil, ex-
Yugoslavia (Serbia, Bosnia-
Herzegovina), Romania,
Portugal, Mexico, Colombia,
Panama, Paraguay, Ecuador
and Haiti.
Dragos scholarly works
have become important ref-
erences in English language
scholarly studies of Tango
music. His symphonic and
chamber arrangements of
Argentine music have been
performed extensively in
Europe and Latin America,
as well as in the United
States by the Fort Worth
Symphony Orchestra, the
Dallas Symphony
Orchestra, the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra and
the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra.
In July 2008, Drago
joined the faculty at the
University of North Dakota
Department of Music as the
professor of violin and viola,
and director of Strings/
Chamber Orchestra.
Dragos many awards
include special prize in the
Rodolfo Lipizer
International Competition
(Italy, 1992), third prize in
the Petar Konjovich
International Young
Musicians Competition
(Yugoslavia, 1993) and the
first prize in the "New
Talents in Classical Music"
Competition (Buenos Aires,
1997). Highlights of past
seasons include performanc-
es of Alban Bergs Violin
Concerto with the
University City Symphony
Orchestra, Missouri, and the
premiere of his own Violin
Concerto in the US with the
Fort Lauderdale-based
Symphony of the Americas,
and in Europe with the
Belarus State Chamber
Orchestra in Minsk.
The last concert of the
season will be held Sunday,
May 18 at 3 p.m. at Trinity
Lutheran Church. It will
feature Mark Larson, trum-
pet virtuoso, principal chair
of the Grand Forks and
South Dakota Symphonies;
and Donna Helmich Bray,
lyric soprano, a masters
degree candidate at the
University of North Dakota,
accompanied by pianist
Keith Teepen, who will also
receive his masters degree
from UND in piano perform-
ance.

For Life in Marshall County
are being held throughout
the county. Teams are get-
ting ready to Finish the

Fundraisers to be held for Marshall County Relay
Felony terroristic
threats, felony second
degree criminal damage
to property and misde-
meanor possession of
drug paraphernalia: On
April 15 at 3:06 p.m., police
received a report of terroris-
tic threats at 212 Arnold
Ave. N. Troy Douglas
Timchuk, 34, Thief River
Falls, has been charged with
felony terroristic threats,
felony second degree crimi-
nal damage to property and
misdemeanor possession of
drug paraphernalia. He was
arrested. According to the
complaint, the alleged vic-
tim said he and Timchuk
were involved in a physical
altercation after Timchuk
followed the man into his
apartment. Timchuk then
allegedly pulled out a knife
and threatened to kill the
man. A short time later, a
friend arrived to pick up the
victims girlfriend. The
mans dog then slipped out-
side. The man said Timchuk
was chasing the dog and try-
ing to kill it with a knife.
The friend told police that,
from her vehicle in front of
the property, she could see
Timchuk in the alleyway,
stabbing the front tires of
the mans vehicle with a
knife. Police found Timchuk
nearby but didnt find a
knife at that point. A prelim-
inary breath test had a
result of 0.16. In an inter-
view at the Law
Enforcement Center,
Timchuk could be seen plac-
ing what was later deter-
mined to be two marijuana
pipes into a kleenex box.
Timchuk allegedly told
police that he went to a
friends house to buy some
marijuana. However, the
address provided by
Timchuk was located on
Fourth Street, not Arnold
Avenue. Timchuk said he
wasnt able to buy marijua-
na since the property was
going to be raided by police.
He said he gave money to
the mans girlfriend, who
then proceeded to hand it to
the man. The man left to
obtain the marijuana and
returned, saying there was
no marijuana since police
were going to raid the prop-
erty. Timchuk said he told
the man that he would get
his money back later. At
some point, Timchuk
became agitated during the
interview and spat on the
walls of the interview room.
When told he was being
charged with terroristic
threats, he became highly
emotional, agitated and
punched the walls. In the
booking room, he began tear-
ing off his shirt, causing but-
tons to fly. He also kicked off
his shoes, which were seized
as evidence.
Felony second degree
burglary, felony theft,
felony aiding and abet-
ting a theft, and felony
fifth degree controlled
substance crime: On April
14 at 12:07 p.m., the sher-
iff s office received a report
that a strange car was
parked behind a home at
12525 Hwy. 1 N.W. She pro-
vided dispatch with the
license plate number of the
car. A sheriff s investigator, a
deputy and Sheriff Ray
Kuznia responded. Upon
arriving, they found a car
parked on the south side of
the home. According to the
complaints, the front door of
the home was open. They
soon encountered Tyler
Robert Decowski, 20, New
Hope, and Danielle Kay
Beyer, 18, Apple Valley.
Decowski allegedly said the
home belonged to his great
aunt, and he and his girl-
friend were there to take a
shower. He said they didnt
have permission to be there.
Upon calling the owner, the
sheriff s office learned that
neither Decowski or Beyer
had permission to be at the
home. Beyer later consented
to a search of her car. A pre-
scription bottle could be seen
in plain view. It had the
homeowners name on the
outside of the bottle. The car
was then secured and towed
to the Law Enforcement
Center. A search warrant
was granted for the vehicle.
The bottle contained four-
and-a-half tablets of
hydrocodone. In a state-
ment, Beyer also allegedly
admitted that they didnt
have permission to be there.
Decowski allegedly said he
stole the prescription bottle.
Decowski has been charged
with felony second degree
burglary, felony theft and
felony fifth degree controlled
substance crime. Beyer has
been charged with felony
second degree burglary,
felony aiding and abetting a
theft, and felony fifth degree
controlled substance crime.
They were arrested.

Northeast and 330th Avenue
Northeast in Goodridge
Township. The caller report-
ed that a man was slumped
over the wheel of his pickup
truck. The sheriff s office
found Cody Daniel
Hasbrouck, 19, Warroad,
dead from a self-inflicted
gunshot wound.
Accident and failure to
yield: On April 17 at 10:17
p.m., police received a report
an accident at the intersec-
tion of Third Street and
Brooks Avenue. At the time
of the accident, Debra Ann
Wiskow of Greenbush was
driving a 2012 Chevy
Equinox on Brooks Avenue.
According to the report, she
stopped at the stop sign and
then proceeded northbound
across Third Street. Her
vehicle collided with a west-
bound 2002 Dodge Caravan
driven by Jason L. Nordine
of Strandquist. Both drivers
reported bumps and bruises
as did the passenger in
Nordines van, Christopher
A. Benson of Stephen. All
three refused medical atten-
tion. The report indicated
that Wiskow was wearing
her seat belt. Neither
Nordine nor Benson were
wearing seat belts. Damage
was estimated to be more
than $1,000. Wiskow has
been cited for failure to
yield.

aforementioned crimes
or offenses, they are

These reports include
names of individuals
charged, arrested or
cited with various crimes
and offenses by police,
the sheriffs department
or other law enforcement
officials. Depending upon
the circumstances of a
case, charges can be, and
sometimes are, changed
or dropped by law

attorneys even before the
case reaches court.
Readers should also
realize that under the
American system of
jurisprudence, individu-
als charged with crimes
are innocent until proven
guilty of those crimes in a
court of law.
A Red Lake woman was
sentenced Monday, April 14
in Pennington County
District Court for a charge of
felony theft.
Amy Lynn Cook, 25, Red
Lake, received a five-year
stay of imposition. A misde-
meanor charge of giving a
false name to a peace officer
was dismissed. As a condi-
tion of the felony sentence,
she was ordered to serve
supervised probation for five
years. If she successfully
completes probation, the
charge will be reduced to a
misdemeanor.
Cook was ordered to
undergo a chemical depend-
ency evaluation/treatment.
She was ordered to take her
medications in their pre-
scribed dosage and frequen-
cy. Cook was ordered to sup-
ply a list of her prescribed
medications to her probation
officer. She was ordered to
not use or possess firearms
or dangerous weapons. Cook
was ordered to supply a
DNA sample and to pay $660
in fees and fines. She was
also ordered to pay $136.91
in restitution jointly and
severally with her co-defen-
dant.
The charges stemmed
from a Jan. 15 report of a
theft at Walmart. An
employee reported that a
cart full of merchandise had
been stolen, according to the
complaint. He saw the mer-
chandise being loaded into a
van and provided a descrip-
tion of the van to police.
Police stopped a van nearby
that matched the description
provided by the employee.
Four people Cook, Arlen
James Stately Jr., Loni
Sayers and a second man
were inside the van. Police
also saw numerous items in
plastic bags in the van as
well as a flat-screen TV.
Sayers allegedly admitted
that she stole baby outfits
and two cans of formula.
Sayers also identified Cook,
who had given another per-
sons name to police. Sayers
said Stately stole a big-
screen TV.
The complaint indicated
that surveillance video
showed Stately and Cook
both leaving the store with
big screen TVs. Cook
returned and then left with
a cart full of merchandise
contained in Walmart bags.
Police believed she brought
the bags into the store to
conceal the merchandise.
The merchandise is valued
at $1,965.80.
A stay of adjudication was grant-
ed for a felony offense included in
the latest edition of the Pennington
County Citation Disposition

Some cats are fat
Some sleep on mats
Some like to nap
on peoples laps
Cats are furry
and they are purry
I like cats and thats a fact!
When I Bloom
by Autumn Hanson-
Storlie
I stand here, wondering
when it will be my time
to shine,
to bloom.
The world is rushing past,
but I, just stand still.
No one notices the little
flower, no,
not me.
But I will be cherished, I will
be,
beautiful,
When I Bloom.
But for now I am small, but
elegant,
Just in my own way.
And I will be, stunning.
When I Bloom.
I dream of what its like,
To be beautiful.
When I bloom everyone will
want me,
but not yet.
I will be loved, wanted.
When I Bloom.
Through Window
by Jo Koppenhaver
Through a window,
A storm will grow
And brew til the feiry cold
flames,
Tickle the sill of the window.
The wind cuts through the
air
Like scissors through paper,
Still brewing the storm
grows.
The swirling snow
Blows, twists, and turns
Enveloping the house in a
giant chilled hug
A Dream
by Kathryn Kruta
I have a dream.
Like all others I want to
make a difference.
I believe everyone has a pur-
pose in life,
You just have to figure out
what it its.
My dream is to make some-
one
Feel like theyre not alone.
This world is a big place,
I might only be 17 pounds,
But I can make a difference.
When I was born my mom
told me,
Before she left,
You never leave their side
Because you make the world
spin.
The short time Ive been
here,
I believe Ive accomplished
many goals.
I just hope Ive made as big
of a difference
In their life as they have
mine.
Fingertips
by Kurt
Reynolds
Dads pulse
is not
detectabl e.
Or so he con-
cludes
after prod-
ding his wrist
just where the nurse showed
him.
The nurse rolls her eyes
and fakes a smile
before taking Dads arm,
bending it at the elbow
and rotating his wrist ever
so slightly
so the large blue veins are
exposed.
For the fourth time in the
past ten minutes,
she expertly rests first her
index finger
and then her middle finger
just below the base of my
fathers thumb.
There it is, she declares,
sneering at Dads defiance
and silently counting the
beats
using the clock above our
heads.
One hundred and three,
she says after a minute.
Ken, now its your turn
again.
My fathers workmans fin-
gers
their tips like chafed leather
pick and pinch
the awkward area
beneath his wrist.
His weathered hands are
accustomed to
picking rocks, tossing bales,
steering a Kenworth,
clutching lambs, brandish-
ing hammers, pushing the
throttle of a John Deere
anything but this delicate
work.
Still his calloused fingers,
with their nails cleaned
by his pocket knife in the
lobby while we waited,
poke and prod,
determined to either deduce
the hidden rhythm
or as it seems drub it out.
Kurt, why dont you give it
a try? the nurse asks.
I know youll find it.
I take the back of Dads hand
and place first my index and
then my middle finger
in the same spot, now red
and throbbing from
Dads efforts.
I stare at his bulging veins
beneath flesh the color of
wrinkled paper
and realize this is a side of
my father I have never seen.
These hands
hoisted me high onto the
roof of our porch to retrieve
my football
and then caught me just as
he promised when I leaped
into his open arms.
These hands
spanked me when I refused
to heed Moms call for sup-
per
and come in from playing
football in the backyard.
These hands
wiped away my tears
and rubbed my back after
my punishment.
My fingers now coddle and
caress
and instantly discover the
determined beat just as
the nurse had promised
in its traditional place
just beneath the flesh.
Its right here, Dad, I say
holding my fingers to his
wrist.
My hands then rub his back
as his calloused fingers,
thick as sausages
return to the same spot
seeking to find his pulse.
But for Dads workman fin-
gers, his pulse has disap-
peared.
The doctor, though, just
walking in on our efforts,
decides its a tactile irony:
my fathers life beats against
dead nerves in my fathers
fingertips.
Landing,
Pennington
County, MN
by Wade
Benson
Patchwork of
fields
C o l o r e d
s q u a r e s
bounded by perfect lines of
roads
Carved by rivers, decorated
with lakes
Blank canvas
Where successive visionar-
ies have released
Private renderings of the
true world
As they would have it
In midnight light of summer
Or when ice crust pops
under deer foot
Each flatland life is illus-
trated
Corrupted or exalted
By certainty
Summer late night scene
Glowing from horizon up,
long after the red ball sinks -
-
Insistent light foments indo-
lence but
Requires industry
In all who walk
On four legs
Or two
Rugged winter
Makes tough all but indoor
play
While summer makes easy
all but quitting in time for
good rest --
Creatures clutch a bountiful,
manic warm season
When sun refuses to sleep
Dependable crops
Are now packed and sold or
wrapped and saved
That inhabitants may sur-
render in peace to Winter
and its idiomatic
Isolation.
Moon and stars
Seen from within lakes in
summer
Upon lakes in winter
Shadows a quarter mile in
length
Whispers that carry three
times as far
Ignite imagination and prick
persistent memory
In those who land and stay.
Golden Crown
by Pat Ledin Dunning
The first of the poplars have
dropped their catkins,
And left the driveway a soft
silvery carpet.
An old eagle sits facing the
river atop a tall tree,
Im hoping he will not notice
my kittens and invite them
to lunch.
A roly-poly skunk has
taught those kittens
A small smelly lesson near
my doorway.
Im waiting for the colored
violets and Mayflowers.
No dandelions yet, but later
I will stop, sit in the tall
grass
And braid Catherine a gold-
en crown.

A hairy distraction
Submitted by
DeDe Vettleson
Sanford Regional
Marketing Manager
Thief River Falls
She has the name and
the color of an animated
lioness, but her disposition
is more friendly than fierce.
Nala is a 6-year-old yellow
lab and an integral part of
the therapy team at Sanford
Health Pathfinders
Childrens Treatment
Center, Thief River Falls.
Ever since she was a
puppy, Nala would tag along
with her owner John
Shirkey when he went to
work at a school. Shirkey
originally intended Nala to
be a hunting dog, but he
noticed a much greater
potential in her.
The effect that she had
on the kids was just amaz-
ing, Shirkey explained.
They were just drawn to
her no matter what type of
behavioral issues they were
having. It got to the point
where my boss joked that I
better not come to work
without her.
Overcoming the stigma
of therapy
Shirkey is a mental
health counselor and uses
Nala to help break down the
barriers of seeking help.
There can be a stigma
about traditional mental
health services, said
Shirkey. Its not just about
sitting on a couch and telling
a stranger all your prob-
lems. There are alternatives
to traditional therapy that
can really help people make
breakthroughs. From
depression to anxiety to self-
esteem problems, we can
help people cope and over-
come a lot of different
issues.
Shirkey explained that
Nalas calming effect on peo-
ple both young and old
comes from the fact that she
gives them an external
focus. She has the potential
to take whatever problem
they are dealing with and
help put it at bay for a while.
Shirkey also found that by
taking Nala around, people
were more open to sharing
with him.
They would come up and
ask if they could pet her,
says Shirkey. They would
ask questions about her and
talk to her. She broke down
that barrier of talking to a
stranger and gave them a
break from what was hap-
pening right then.
Nala in action
Nala has also been used
to diffuse potentially stress-
ful situations. Sanford
Health has recently imple-
mented a new electronic
medical record system.
Sanford One Chart was
designed so that patients
medical information would
be easily accessible and to
create a more patient cen-
tered and efficient experi-
ence. But as with any new
technology program, the
launch of the software was
bound to have a few hiccups
and delays.
We knew that people
would end up waiting a little
longer than they were used
to, and that can cause frus-
tration, recalled Shirkey.
So I took Nala over to the
clinic on the morning of the
launch, and we walked
around the waiting room.
Nala and Shirkey spent
two to three hours each day
during the two-week imple-
mentation entertaining and
talking to the waiting
patients. Nala performed
tricks and let people of all
ages pet her while Shirkey
asked how they were doing.
The pair also went over to
the lab where there was a
slight delay to meet a few
people.
One particular lady had
probably been waiting 20
minutes, recalled Shirkey.
We started talking, and she
was playing with Nala.
When they called her name,
she was actually disappoint-
ed that she had to go. She
wanted to sit with us
longer.
But Nala isnt just for
patients. Shirkey had her
spend time with staff.
The launch of the new
program was also stressful
to the staff, said Shirkey.
Even though things went
extremely well with the
implementation, it can be
difficult to manage an
increased workload while
trying to provide a positive
patient experience. Nala
really just gives them a
break, a refresher.
Nala also was allowed to
sit in on some of the meet-
ings where the One Chart
team would discuss how the
launch was proceeding.
They would meet every
afternoon, and Nala was a
contributor to these meet-
ings, says Shirkey. Nala
would lay under the table or
make her way around the
room visiting people. It was
just a great way for them to
de-stress.
In addition to these infor-
mal visits, Nala is also incor-
porated into individual and
group therapy sessions.
During these Animal
Assisted Therapy sessions,
she becomes an integral part
of the process as individuals
work on established goals.
Nala and other therapy dogs
can be used in conjunction
with physical therapy, occu-
pational therapy and mental
health.
One of the team
Shirkey admitted that
although people like to call
Nala the Pathfinders mas-
cot, she really is a member of
the behavioral health team.
With Nala, we can show
people that so many differ-
ent alternatives to tradition-
al therapy exist, said
Shirkey. You can look at
this calm, relaxed dog,
observe how she acts and
you find yourself acting
calm. A lot of the kids dont
even know that they are
doing it, but they know if
theyre calm then shes
calm.
And Nalas trips around
to the hospital and clinic in
Thief River Falls werent
just a one-time deal. Shirkey
said that he is going to be a
lot more intentional about
when and where he takes
her. So, if you happen to be
visiting the Sanford clinic or
hospital in Thief River Falls,
look out for a yellow lab
named Nala coming to inject
a little calm to your day.

NOTES FROM NCTC
What a glorious weekend!
Warm temperatures, gentle
breezes, dying snow piles,
and hope for more of the
same. The weather moved
many people outdoors on
Sunday walking, roller-
blading, biking, egg-hunt-
ing, and even picnicking.
When it gets good up here in
the north, we really know
how to enjoy it.
UAS Summit. This
week, I want to relate infor-
mation about a great event
that was held at Northlands
Aerospace Site at the Thief
River Falls Regional Airport.
Congressman Collin
Peterson, a long-time sup-
porter of Northlands avia-
tion-related programs, con-
vened a summit to explore
cooperation and collabora-
tion between North Dakota
and Minnesota in the emerg-
ing unmanned aerial sys-
tems industry.
Nearly 90 representatives
of state and local govern-
ment, business, agriculture,
and educational institutions
met. We were excited to wel-
come the commissioners of
agriculture from both states,
Sen. Al Franken, State
Representatives Dan Fabian
and Deb Kiel, Minnesota
State Colleges and
Universities system office
representatives, representa-
tives from Senators John
Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp
of North Dakota and Rep.
Kevin Cramer of North
Dakota, mayors and city
administrators from Thief
River Falls and East Grand
Forks, presidents and/or
other representatives from
Lake Region State College,
North Dakota State
University, University of
Minnesota, UM-Crookston,
Ridgewater College, and
Central Lakes College, rep-
resentatives from
Minnesotas Department of
Employment and Economic
Development and North
Dakotas Department of
Commerce, representatives
from Camp Ripley in
Minnesota, economic devel-
opment and chamber of com-
merce representatives, and
representatives from 10
companies prominent in
either aviation or precision
agriculture.
The summit began with a
press conference featuring
Peterson and Franken.
Their comments set the
stage for the day. Both
expressed enthusiasm for
the potential of the industry
and the Minnesotas fortu-
nate proximity to North
Dakotas FAA test site. They
stressed the integration of
UAS into civilian and com-
mercial venues and the need
to test carefully and thor-
oughly. Our own Curtis
Zoller, associate dean of
aerospace programs, deliv-
ered a presentation on
Northlands capabilities in
aviation maintenance tech-
nology, UAS maintenance,
avionics, imagery analysis,
and geospatial intelligence
analysis. He informed the
group about the MnSCU sys-
tem and the strengths an
assembled institution can
bring to bear.
Participants were divided
into four groups for a tour of
the Aerospace site facility,
seeing the Swenson Hangar,
telepresence classroom, UAS
and avionics labs, and intel-
ligent classrooms where lec-
tures can be video-captured
for later use. Much of the
new technological develop-
ment was enabled by the
recent Department of Labor
grants.
After a networking lunch,
the group reconvened for a
presentation by Col. Robert
(Bob) Becklund, executive
director of the Northern
Plains UAS Test Site. He
related the history of how
North Dakota was awarded
the test site designation by
the FAA. He predicted that
this test site will be the first
of the six national sites to be
permitted to engage in actu-
al flight research. The coop-
eration among interested
parties in North Dakota and
the early investment and
focus brought by the states
congressional delegation
were keys to success. He also
stressed the tremendous
potential for success of col-
laboration between North
Dakota and Minnesota, cit-
ing the strong existing rela-
tionship between Northland
and the University of North
Dakota.
The summit concluded
with a wide-ranging discus-
sion of interests, ideas, and
questions. Minnesota needs
to achieve a common advoca-
cy voice for support of this
industry and economic
development potential.
Fortunately, our neighbors
to the west have the experi-
ence and professional gen-
erosity to assist Minnesota
in achieving this.
I am deeply grateful to
the Northland team for their
excellent work in collaborat-
ing with Petersons office to
organize a truly professional
summit. I have received
numerous notes from partic-
ipants congratulating us for
bringing about this impor-
tant conversation. In partic-
ular, Dan Klug and Sheila
Bruhn worked tirelessly to
insure that all of the details
were tended to. Curtis
Zoller, Jim Retka, Jon Beck,
Lynn McGlynn, Clinton
Castle and staff were also
very important to the suc-
cess of this event.
I am so proud that
Northland can be seen as a
regional and, perhaps,
national leader. These suc-
cesses are the issues I want
to concentrate on. Please
read the accompanying edi-
torial that will be submitted
to the TRF Times this week
that is dedicated to
Celebrations and
Opportunities.
VEX Robotics World
Championship Tourna-
ment. Starting Thursday,
April 24, Northland's
Robotics Team will be com-
peting in the World
Championship - VEX
University Robotics
Competition in Anaheim,
Calif. This competition hosts
teams from exotic locations
across the globe including
New Zealand, Hong Kong,
Malaysia, Spain, and Thief
River Falls. Northlands
team will face 62 college
teams in their division.
Northland's team (ETAS)
has been working overtime
to design, build and program
three separate robots for
this competition. The stu-
dents wish to thank their
sponsors: Digi-Key, 360,
and Altoz Precision Mowers.
These sponsors helped the
team financially in their
pursuit of going to the VEX
World Championship.
Students also fundraised to
offset the trip costs. Each of
the team members volun-
teered their time at VEX
events at the high school
level this year.
Northland granted
UAS Certificate of
Authorization. Curtis
Zoller announced at the
Northland UAS Summit
that they have been given a
certificate of authorization
from the FAA to fly small-
unmanned aerial systems
(SUAS) over agricultural
areas in Roseau County.
Northland intends to use a
hand launched SUAS to col-
lect imagery of farm fields
for use in Northland's
Imagery Analysis and
Geospatial Intelligence
(GeoInt) Analysis programs
in order to aid in precision
agriculture activities. This
imagery will be used to
develop useful information
for farmers to enhance their
farming practices, such as
crop health monitoring, pest
detection, and increased pre-
cision in variable rate appli-
cations. The information will
lead to more environmental-
ly conservative practices and
help farmers be more prof-
itable.
Northland has been work-
ing on the certificate of
authorization over the last
two years. The certificate of
authorization grants
Northland approval from the
FAA to fly a small UAS in
Roseau County under the
following conditions:
Prior approval from
landowner
Fly under 500-feet
over farm field locations
There must be a direct
line-of-sight between the
operator and the SUAS
The imagery collected
will be used for Northland's
and the landowner's educa-
tional purposes.

CITY OF THIEF RIVER FALLS
2012 DRINKING WATER REPORT
The City of Thief River Falls is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2013. The
purpose of this report is to advance consumers' understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources.
Source of Water
The City of Thief River Falls provides drinking water to its residents from a surface water source: surface water drawn from the Red Lake River.
The water provided to customers may meet drinking water standards but the Minnesota Department of Health has also made a determination as to
how vulnerable the source of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding
your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 (and press 5) during normal business hours. Also, you can view it online at
www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.
Call 218-681-3809 if you have questions about the City of Thief River Falls drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public
participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water.
Results of Monitoring
No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts
that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants
are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2013. If any of these contaminants were
detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.)
Key to abbreviations:
MCLG - Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MCL - Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as
feasible using the best available treatment technology.
MRDL - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level.
MRDLG - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal.
AL - Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment, or other requirement, which a water system must follow.
90th Percentile Level - This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a
situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent
of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to
determine the 90th percentile level.
ppm - Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l).
ppb - Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (g/l).
N/A - Not Applicable (does not apply)
TT - Treatment Technique : A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminent in drinking water.
* This is the value used to determine compliance with federal standards. It sometimes is the highest value detected and sometimes is an average of all detected values.
If it is an average, it may contain sampling results from the previous year.
Follow-up sampling showed no contamination present.
** Lowest Monthly Percentage of Samples Meeting the Turbidity limits.
*** Highest Single Measurement.
Turbidity is a measure of the clarity of the water. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system.
**** Highest and Lowest Monthly Average.
***** Highest Quarterly Average.
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is
primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Thief River Falls is responsible for providing
high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several
hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.
If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and
steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under
the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours.
Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels
over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up
substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria: which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural
livestock operations, and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metal: which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or
domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources: such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and
petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of
certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bot-
tled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of con-
taminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be
obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as
persons with cancer, undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system
disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their
health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contam-
inants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.

PARENTING TIPS
Nursery Rhymes
Nursery rhymes have been
thought of as the first learning
games for young children for
hundreds of years. The reason is
that in addition to their poetic
value, nursery rhymes are an
ideal way to introduce very
young children to new ideas and
concepts.
Nursery rhymes are perfectly
suited to the very young child.
They are short, simple, and usu-
ally deal with the concrete world
rather than the abstract. They
can also be silly or nonsense
rhymes which appeal to the
older preschoolers sense of
imagination.
As you read nursery rhymes
to your children, you are giving
them a solid start in learning to
read. Reading experts agree
unanimously that childrens
ability to read and their ability
to handle the written language
depend upon their prior experi-
ence with oral language.
Nursery rhymes help provide
that experience.
Begin reading nursery rhymes
to your children as soon as they
are old enough to listen. Hold
and cuddle your children as you
would when reading any book.
Your children may not under-
stand what the rhymes are about
at first. But they will listen and
enjoy the experience because
you are doing the reading and
making it an enjoyable experi-
ence.
You can continue to read nurs-
ery rhymes as long as your child
enjoys them, probably into the
early elementary years. Be sure
to catch that stage, around four
years of age, when they develop
a fascination with words.
Nonsense words and rhyming
can turn into a delightful game.
It is during this stage that their
language development takes a
dramatic leap forward.

SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT
Talk about nursery rhymes as
you read them. Make up silly
words that rhyme. There was a
bork, who lived by a zork.

The burdens we carry will be lightened
We received the call. It
was from Dad. Enthusiasm
bounced with each word spo-
ken, and a relief between the
lines was easy to read.
Bluntness introduced the
topic as it's his style of com-
munication. I've always
loved that about him. He
will expound without hesita-
tion to make sure you know
the purpose of the call. And
so it went ...
"Don't bother coming to
the cabin this summer," he
began. "We won't be here."
My thoughts ran for mere
seconds before he interrupt-
ed with the final news of the
day. "Somebody bought it."
It's funny how you need
no explanation of the story-
line. One just knows when
things are good. The quick-
ness of the conversation was
telltale enough that he was
excited. After all, they'd
placed their baby on the
market this past summer for
a few months before going
south for a few more. Plenty
of lookers but no bites was
the outcome, so they took it
off. They just didn't want
strangers looking around if
they were not there.
Upon returning, an offer
came without even having
put it back on the market ...
and Dad was pumped. He'd
built it up with care, love,
laughter, and memories.
Eileen came along in his life
to help build those once mom
died and now, after 20 years,
life was beckoning they close
this chapter. They listened,
obeyed, and He provided. As
excited as I was for Dad and
Eileen ... there were still
walls up. Plenty of walls
that needed to come down.
First, there was the wall
with the infamous fish
mounted upon it. I believe
the real one somehow got
messed up by the taxider-
mist and a replica miracu-
lously appeared. Dad was
thrilled. Others would have
been upset because the real
trophy intended for mount-
ing was nowhere to be seen.
Not Dad. He was amazed
that anyone could make the
fake version look so real.
Next up was the wall with
a variety of cabin jackets
hanging upon hooks. A cabin
isn't a cabin without at least
one gray sweatshirt big
enough for anyone of any
size to put on around the
campfire. Then, there's the
windbreaker of a deal from
the garage sale up the road,
or the red and black check-
ered vest which hangs in
every cabin ever built. Each
one hung in crooked accor-
dance waiting for those in
need.
Finally, there were the
walls in the fish house boast-
ing rods, reels, life jackets,
minnow buckets, and canoe
paddles. Things you need for
life at the cabin, plain and
simple, that must be packed,
sold, or given away ... or flat
out left for the next one
inhabiting the cabin.
I hate transitions that
come with permanent clo-
sure. They're hard. It's like
the time I sent our youngest
son off to kindergarten years
ago. I placed him on the bus,
cried my eyes out, promptly
got into the car and drove to
school because I had to be
his teacher within the hour.
None of it made sense, yet it
made total sense. I wasn't
grieving that he was going; I
was grieving the loss of
another stage in life that
would never return.
And so it goes. The cabin
closure must come. He prom-
ises that His burden is easy
and his yoke is light. It says
so in Matthew 11:30.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 says, "I
know that everything God
does will endure forever;
nothing can be added to it
and nothing taken from it."
That is my cue to trust. He
will take care of the cabin
through the hands of others.
He will provide a new direc-
tion for them, and he will
take care of you ... and me.
And the burdens we carry ...
they will be light when we
let light carry. Amen.

THEOLOGY IN
THE TRENCHES
Making a positive impact on students at LHS
by David Hill
Editor
Sometimes in life youre
fortunate or lucky enough to
meet someone who will
touch your heart forever. You
are one of those people and I
thank you.
Monday, April 14, Lincoln
High School physical educa-
tion instructor Jeff Mumm
reached out to the Board of
Education in a presentation
designed to showcase many
of the ways he connects with
kids.
Mumm said he likes to
use a lot of positive quotes,
like the one he handed out to
the Board about meeting
someone who will touch your
heart forever. He said the
daily motivational and fit-
ness quotes inspire students
to perform and act their
best.
For Mumm, it all began
with wondering why people
turn out the way they do.
What determines success?
he asked.
The answer he arrived at
was for teachers to find a
way to motivate students.
Sometimes that means going
out of his way to motivate
them. Sometimes it takes
tough love, but the type of
tough love that encourages
them to do the right thing.
As an example, Mumm
explained that when he was
the football coach he had the
kids leave the locker rooms
cleaner than when they
arrived. For those efforts,
they received a great deal of
positive feedback that will
influence their lives forever.
Mumm reaches out to
motivate students by also
providing them examples of
LHS alumni. He has com-
piled a collection of videos
submitted by alumni. One of
the videos is of Ayla Donlin,
who recently completed her
doctoral degree in kinesiolo-
gy.
Mumm said teaching is
what he believes he was
called to do. But, to make
sure hes making progress
with students and teaching
at his best, he encourages
students to complete an
evaluation of his class, the
program and Mumm. He
said he wants to know from
students when he could do
better.
As far as physical educa-
tion at LHS, Mumm said he
thinks the District is going
in the right direction. He
added that the District
needs some new equipment.
The equipment hasnt been
changed since 1994. Mumm
said hes beginning to look
for sources of funding for the
effort to replace the equip-
ment.
The Board of Education
thanked Mumm for his pres-
entation on teaching from
the heart - PE style.
Every year at this time
of the year, the District
approves resolutions to
terminate the contracts
of certified probationary
teachers. Resolutions relat-
ing to the termination and
non-renewal of teaching con-
tracts were approved for
April Anderson, Megan
Bettin, Al Buhl, Susan Buhl,
Chris Burnham, Julie
Desrocher, Marah Froiland,
Deb Fulton, Ashley Haugen,
Deidre Nordin, Sharon
Philion, Tevia Reese,
Hannah Saurdiff, Bill Stock,
Ashleigh Swanson, and
Monica Swenson.
The next meeting of
the Board of Education
has been scheduled for 6
p.m. on April 28, at the
Lincoln High School
Training Center.
The Board of Education
was expected to attend a
joint meeting with the City
of Thief River Falls at 5
p.m., and another meeting
with the Pennington County
Board of Commissioners at
5:45 p.m. on April 21 at the
LHS Training Center.
Advantages of enslisting in the Navy
by Cameron Georgewill
Throughout my time in
high school, Ive put a lot of
thought into what I want to
do after I graduate. The
teachers at Lincoln did a
great job showing me what
options I have and how to
successfully transition into a
college lifestyle. They
showed me how to budget
my time for studying. They
showed me how to budget
my money for tuition, text-
books, and living expenses.
However, despite all my
preparation for college
readiness, Ive decided not to
attend a university after I
graduate from high school.
Im not taking a few years
off to travel abroad and find
myself or anything like that.
Ive decided to enlist in the
U.S. Navy. My decision
stemmed from a number of
reasons. For example, the
military is more like college
than a lot of people realize.
While I serve in the military,
Im going to learn a lot of
skills that will aid me when
I work in the civilian sector
along with my peers from
high school. Im going to
learn how to efficiently work
as a team. More importantly,
Im going to learn leadership
traits that will allow me to
command teams. I will learn
responsibility and commit-
ment. As a bonus, my
recruiter says that theyre
going to teach me how to fold
socks! The military also
provides perks such as full
medical coverage, including
dental.
With the GI Bill, I can
take college classes while
Im in the Navy. When my
service is up, I can attend a
university just like my
peers, and the military will
assist me with my tuition.
While in the Navy, Ill
work as an aviation electri-
cian's mate or an aircraft
electrician. Ill maintain a
wide range of electrical and
navigational equipment in
aircraft, including power
generators, power distribu-
tion systems, lighting sys-
tems, flight instruments and
fuel systems, temperature
and pressure indicating sys-
tems. AEs are also trained in
computers to support this
state-of-the-art equipment.
I may volunteer to fly as
naval aircrew. Aircrew per-
form numerous in-flight
duties and operate radar
and weapon systems in tur-
bojet, helicopter, or propeller
aircraft. I will also perform
duties at sea and ashore
around the world. At various
times, I could be working at
a land-based aircraft
squadron or onboard an air-
craft carrier, either indoors
or outdoors, in a shop envi-
ronment or in office sur-
roundings, and at a clean lab
bench or in a garage-type
situation.
I will work closely with
others, require little super-
vision, and do mental and
physical work of a technical
nature. Ive always had an
interest in things like this.
Now Im going to get paid to
do something I enjoy right
out of high school thanks to
the U.S. Navy. With the
skills I learn as an AE, I can
get a job in the civilian sec-
tor with ease in almost any
airport I want if I so please.
Another large factor in my
decision to enlist in the
Navy is the fact that both of
my older brothers are in the
Navy as well. Following in
this tradition gives me a real
sense of achievement.
Mostly because about 75
percent of America's 17- to
24-year-olds are ineligible
for military service due to
lack of education, obesity,
criminal history or a variety
of physical problems.
Having all three of your sons
in the military is no small
feat. So I hope youre proud
Mom.
Some of my new cars have been colorful
I recently got a new car.
Lets just say I am having
some trouble getting used to
it. Maybe it has to do with
my being older and forgetful
now. Maybe it is because I
had my other car for 10
years and got so used to
everything that I drove it
automatically. Maybe it is
because there is so much
stuff on new cars now that
this new one is driving me
crazy and causing me to lose
my mind. Maybe it is
because I have lost my mind!
Nonetheless, as I was
cleaning up my office the
other day, I ran across the
column I had written about
another car I bought new.
The title was My New Car
II. Evidently I liked it a lot
and thought it was easy to
drive. Remember now, it was
the one I bought new before
the present one I just bought
in 2014.
When I first got that ele-
gant red car, I loved it dear-
ly. It was quite spacious for
me. And that automatic
transmission was wonderful.
It was the epitome of easy
driving. It was the best
thing since sliced white
bread. It was a red car so
fancy for me.
It was the first car I had
with an automatic transmis-
sion and with air condition-
ing too. I always thought air
conditioning was a frou-frou
thing I didnt need on a car. I
figured who needs to be cold-
er when they live in north-
ern Minnesota? I thought I
could get by without any
such fancy thing. I changed
my mind when I bought a
black car in the summer.
That was not a very good
thing to do. I didnt keep it
long. After that, I swore I
would never have a car with-
out air conditioning again.
Prior to the black car, I
had another red one a
straight stick. I was pretty
good at driving it, once I got
the hang of it. The fancy
thing about that first red
car was that it had automat-
ic seatbelts, so a person
never had to worry about
being unbuckled. My short
little mother absolutely
hated those crazy seat belts,
even though the passenger
side was set just for her. She
would forget they were com-
ing and she would jump
every time they came at her.
I had to grab the belt, so she
didnt get side-swiped by it
every time it came flipping
at her. Oh, those darned
things again! is what she
would say, and throw up her
hands to protect her face
when they came at her
again.
I seem to have had lots of
colorful cars. Actually, the
first car I ever bought on my
own was orange. A second-
hand orange car. I cant tell
you how many miles it had
on it, but I think it was plen-
ty. It was cute as a bug
cute as a Lady Bug, if you
please. I loved it. It made me
feel emancipated!
But reading about some of
the strange things that hap-
pened to my other cars
before this new one made me
feel better about having
trouble learning the
mechanics of this one. Even
though the 2003 car had far
fewer fancy features than I
had ever had before, it
appears that I had plenty of
troubles then, too. I will tell
you about my troubles with
my present (2014) car at a
later date. At the rate I am
going, Im sure it will make
quite a story. Next week, Im
going to go backwards and
tell you The Tale of the New
Red 2003 Car.

Q:Are SSI amounts the
same all across the country?
A: Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) is very differ-
ent from Social Security
although both programs are
administered by the Social
Security Administration.
Signed into law by President
Nixon in 1972 (Public Law
92-603), SSI is need based
and can provide payments to
people with limited income
or financial resources. SSI
payments can be for people
age 65 or older, plus disabled
or blind children and adults.
Benefits are only to an eligi-
ble person based on their
own age, disability or blind-
ness. There are no automat-
ic benefits to other family
members.
As a Federal income sup-
plement program funded by
general tax revenues, not
Social Security taxes, the
basic maximum amounts
are the same all across the
country. Effective January
2014, the maximum month-
ly Federal benefit rates are
$721 for an individual and
$1,082 for an eligible couple.
These are maximum
amounts. Actual amounts
payable can vary each
month depending on other
income and living arrange-
ments of the person.
Different types of income
changes SSI benefits in dif-
ferent ways. For example,
most of a pension or Social
Security benefit will directly
reduce SSI amounts while a
larger portion of wages is
not counted to encourage
work.
Individual States can
choose to supplement the
national amounts by adding
to the Federal amount. If
done, any additional
amounts are based on state
rules related to the persons
income, living arrangements
or other factors. There is
wide variance across the
country for this. Some
States do not pay any sup-
plemental amount, some do
with funds included in the
Federal payment, and some
administer their own sup-
plement arrangement.
Basic Supplemental
Security Income information
is at http://www.socialsecu-
rity.gov/pgm/ssi.htm. Not
all income or resources
count towards the SSI lim-
its. To learn more or apply,
contact Social Security by
calling the national number,
1-800-772-1213 / TTY 1-800-
325-0778, or your local
office.

More than 500
cited for texting
Minnesota law enforce-
ment agencies cited 550
drivers for texting as part of
an enhanced enforcement
and education campaign for
distracted driving during
April 11-20.
According to preliminary
information from the
Public Safety Office of
Traffic Safety, the 10-day
event also included:
1,394 citations for not
wearing seat belts
25 citations for not
using child restraints
417 actions (378 cita-
tions and 39 arrests) taken
against driving after revoca-
tion, driving after suspen-
sion, or driving after cancel-
lation
15 driving-while-
impaired arrests
The number of citations
made in just those 10 days
shows that far too many
drivers still make poor
choices behind the wheel,
said Donna Berger, OTS
director. Law enforcement
officers across the state will
continue to enforce distract-
ed driving laws. Drivers can
and will be ticketed at any
time for texting while driv-
ing, not just during an
enhanced enforcement cam-
paign.

Minnesota Power files for permits to
build Great Northern transmission Line
This past week,
Minnesota Power, an
ALLETE Company, applied
to state and federal regula-
tors for permits to build the
500-kilovolt Great Northern
Transmission Line from the
Minnesota-Manitoba border
to an electric substation on
the Mesabi Iron Range on
one of two routes.
Minnesota Power filed the
route permit application
with the Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission
(MPUC). It also applied for a
Presidential Permit from the
U.S. Department of Energy
for the international inter-
connection at the U.S.-
Canadian border.
The Great Northern
Transmission Line would
deliver to Minnesota Power
customers and the Upper
Midwest clean, emission-
free hydroelectricity gener-
ated by Manitoba Hydro to
meet growing and changing
energy demands. The project
advances Minnesota Powers
EnergyForward strategy of
increasing its generation
diversity and expanding its
renewable energy portfolio.
The Great Northern
Transmission Line further
transforms the energy land-
scape by reducing carbon
emissions, strengthening
the regional energy grid,
adding more renewable
power and supporting new
industrial growth on
Minnesotas Iron Range,
said ALLETE Chairman,
President and its chief exec-
utive officer, Al Hodnik.
This international project is
the right project at the right
time to promote a more bal-
anced energy future.
The new transmission
line would facilitate the
delivery of at least 750
megawatts (MW) of energy
into the U.S. beginning in
2020. Minnesota Power,
which will have majority
ownership of the project, will
utilize the Great Northern
Transmission Line to deliver
to its service area 250 MW
from Manitoba Hydro
through a power purchase
agreement approved by the
MPUC. The two utilities are
also finalizing an agreement
outlining how Minnesota
Power will purchase addi-
tional energy and substan-
tially expand its energy stor-
age opportunities using the
new asset.
The Great Northern Line
enhances a unique synergy
involving hydropower and
wind, said Minnesota
Power Chief Operating
Officer Brad Oachs. The
new transmission capacity
more readily allows the
Manitoba Hydro system to
store intermittent wind gen-
eration during times when
energy markets dont need
it. This is important to
Minnesota Power as we
expand our Bison wind proj-
ect to 500 MW in North
Dakota by the end of this
year.
Minnesota Power esti-
mates total project cost in
the U.S., including substa-
tion work, between $500
million and $650 million,
depending upon the final
approved route.
Since 2012, Minnesota
Power has held more than
75 open houses and meet-
ings with agencies, tribes,
local government units,
landowners and the general
public to gather input on the
routing of the transmission
line project. The applica-
tions filed with the MPUC
and DOE explain that the
line will generally require a
200-foot-wide right-of-way,
with four or five structures
per mile about 100 to 150
feet in height. The type of
structures will depend on
land type and land use.
We look forward to con-
tinuing our work with state
and federal agencies in iden-
tifying the best route for this
project, Oachs said. The
public will have additional
opportunities to provide
input, which continues to be
an important facet of this
project.
Two alternate routes are
listed in the applications.
Both proposed alternatives
are approximately 220 miles
and, where feasible, follow
existing transmission line
rights-of-way.
In addition to delivering
affordable and reliable ener-
gy, the project will bring eco-
nomic and fiscal benefits to
Minnesota during and after
construction. Project con-
struction is expected to
begin by 2016 and be com-
pleted by 2020. A University
of Minnesota-Duluth eco-
nomic study estimated the
project will create 213 con-
struction jobs and 73 addi-
tional indirect jobs.
The Great Northern
Transmission Line will gen-
erate approximately $28
million annually in state
and local taxes, according to
the study. About $875 mil-
lion of direct and indirect
spending on goods and serv-
ices will be needed to sup-
port construction activities,
researchers said. For more
information about the proj-
ect, visit www.greatnorth-
erntransmissionline.com
Minnesota Power pro-
vides electric service within
a 26,000-square-mile area in
northeastern Minnesota,
supporting comfort, security
and quality of life for
143,000 customers, 16
municipalities and some of
the largest industrial cus-
tomers in the U.S.
This map shows the two alternate routes proposed by Minnesota Power for the Great
Northern Transmission Line. Both alternatives are about 220 miles long, and where feasi-
ble, follow existing transmission line rights-of-way. (Submitted)
Tax rebates available to
homeowners and renters
by David Hill
Editor
The two important points
to take away from Matt
Entenzas visit to Thief
River Falls on Tuesday, April
15, tax day, is that property
tax rebates are available to
homeowners and renters,
and that a fair analysis of
schools and cities shows that
they are operating on con-
siderably less than they
used to.
Entenza is the founder of
Minnesota 2020, a state
public policy think-tank. He
served as an assistant
Minnesota attorney general
and an assistant Hennepin
County attorney, and served
six terms in the Minnesota
House and four years as the
House Democratic leader. In
2010, he was a DFL candi-
date for the governor of
Minnesota. Today, Entenza
is focused on what he
believes really matters.
On Tuesday, April 15,
Entenza was in Thief River
Falls to remind taxpayers
that starting March 31,
homeowners could file for
the Homestead Credit
Refund online at the
Revenue website at
www.revenue.state.mn.us.
The refunds
According to the website,
to qualify for a Homestead
Credit Refund (for
Homeowners) and Renter's
Property Tax Refund, the
taxpayer must be a full- or
part-year resident of
Minnesota for the year, and
cant be claimed as a
dependent by another tax-
payer. Eligibility is also
based on household income
and property taxes paid on a
principal residence in
Minnesota.
For renters, household
income for 2013 must be less
than $57,170 (for 2012, less
than $56,220). The maxi-
mum refund is $2,000.
Renters must have lived
in a building that was sub-
ject to property taxes or
payments in lieu of proper-
ty taxes. If taxpayers are
unsure, they are urged to
contact their landlord.
Homeowners may be eli-
gible for one or both of the
following refunds if they
owned and lived in their
home on Jan. 2, 2013.
For the Regular
Homestead Credit Refund
(for Homeowners) and
Renter's Property Tax
Refund, their household
income for 2013 must be less
than $105,500 (for 2012, less
t h a n
$103,730).
The maxi-
m u m
refund is
$2,580.
Spec i al
Homestead
C r e d i t
Refund (for Homeowners)
and Renter's Property Tax
Refund: There is no income
limit, but net property tax
on their homestead property
must have increased by
more than 12 percent from
2013 to 2014. The increase
must be at least $100. The
maximum refund is $1,000.
The taxpayers home or
mobile home must be classi-
fied with the county as
homestead (the home the
taxpayer lives in for tax pur-
poses). Properties that are
classified as relative home-
stead dont qualify.
Please see the Minnesota
Department of Revenue
website for forms and more
information.
Tax impact
Minnesota 2020 considers
property taxes in Minnesota
to be a regressive form of tax
- in that it imposes a greater
burden on those less able to
afford it or those at the lower
end of the income spectrum
spend a higher proportion of
their income paying the tax
than those at the higher end.
Unfair criticism
Entenza said that in the
last several years, there has
been a lot of criticism about
city and school district
spending. In Many commu-
nities, local government aid
saw significant declines. As
a result, local governments
were left with no alternative
than to increase taxes. Even
then, many were unable to
make up the loss.
Entenza said data driven
research shows that
between 2002
and 2014,
Thief River
Falls experi-
enced a 8.2
p e r c e n t
decrease in
local govern-
ment aid.
Adjusted for inflation, that
decrease was 21.9 percent.
(Local government aid is a
general purpose aid that can
be used for any lawful
expenditure. It is also
intended to be used for prop-
erty tax relief.)
In this atmosphere,
Entenza said Thief River
Falls has been a bit of an
anomaly because taxes went
down.
School District 564, Thief
River Falls, has faced a sim-
ilar challenge - but for last
year, state aid has
decreased. This increased
pressure to increase proper-
ty tax. Voters in the school
district did approve referen-
dums that provided addi-
tional resources for the dis-
trict.
Entenza said a fair analy-
sis of schools and cities
shows that they are operat-
ing on less aid than they
used to and property owners
have seen increases in prop-
erty taxes, which even with
the increase, dont make up
for the loss in aid.

Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack announced that
eligible farmers and ranch-
ers can now sign up for U.S.
Department of Agriculture
disaster assistance pro-
grams restored by passage of
the 2014 Farm Bill.
We implemented these
programs in record time and
kept our commitment to
begin sign-up today, said
Vilsack. To ensure enroll-
ment goes as smoothly as
possible, dedicated staff in
over 2,000 Farm Service
Agency offices across the
country are doing every-
thing necessary to help pro-
ducers that have suffered
through two-and-a-half diffi-
cult years with no assistance
because these programs
were awaiting congressional
action.
Depending on the size
and type of farm or ranch
operation, eligible producers
can enroll in one of four pro-
grams administered by the
Farm Service Agency. The
Livestock Forage Disaster
Program (LFP), and the
Livestock Indemnity
Program will provide pay-
ments to eligible producers
for livestock deaths and
grazing losses that have
occurred since the expira-
tion of the livestock disaster
assistance programs in
2011, and including calendar
years 2012, 2013, and 2014.
The Emergency Assistance
for Livestock, Honeybees,
and Farm-Raised Fish
Program (ELAP) provides
emergency assistance to eli-
gible producers of livestock,
honeybees and farm-raised
fish that have suffered loss-
es because of disease, severe
weather, blizzards and wild-
fires.
Enrollment has also
begun for the Tree
Assistance Program, which
provides financial assistance
to qualifying orchardists and
nursery tree growers to
replant or rehabilitate trees,
bushes and vines damaged
by natural disasters.
Producers signing up for
these programs are encour-
aged to contact their local
Farm Service Agency office
for information on the types
of records needed and to
schedule an appointment.
Taking these steps in
advance will help producers
ensure their application
moves through the process
as quickly as possible.
Supporting documents
may include livestock birth
records, purchase and trans-
portation receipts, photos
and ownership records
showing the number and
type of livestock lost, docu-
ments listing the gallons of
water transported to live-
stock during drought, and
more. Crop records may
include purchase receipts for
eligible trees, bushes, or
vines, seed and fertilizer
purchases, planting and pro-
duction records, and docu-
mentation of labor and
equipment used to plant or
remove eligible trees, bush-
es, or vines.
Producers have three to
nine months to apply
depending on the program
and year of the loss. Details
are available from any local
FSA office.
For more information,
producers may review the
2014 Farm Bill Fact Sheet,
and the LIP, LFP, ELAP and
TAP fact sheets online, or
visit any local FSA office or
USDA Service Center.

Division Chair of Allied
Health, has been notified
that he is the recipient of the
2014 FA Davis Award for
Outstanding Physical
Therapist Assistant
Educator. The American
Physical Therapy
Associations Board of
Directors annually gives out
this national award to one
PTA educator. We are so
pleased for this well-
deserved recognition.
In recent years,
Northlands Marketing
Department has won nation-
al recognition from the
National Council for
Marketing and Public
Relations for its website,
online orientation, online
view book, and other promo-
tional materials.
Digi-Key University is
a collaboration between
Northland and Thief River
Falls most prominent
employer that has been in
place for more than a
decade. Students are select-
ed and supported by Digi-
Key. Electronics Technology
Marketing I and II meet
Tuesday and Thursday
evenings for three hours
each. Then, if employees
choose, they can take gener-
al education requirements
through Northland and
move on to a diploma or an
Associate of Science degree
in Electronics Technology -
Automated Systems. For
this advanced program,
Digi-Key provides scholar-
ships plus time off from
work for their employees to
attend. Instructors for these
programs are Ralph Cox,
Andrew Dahlen, Tony
McLean and Tom Pittman.
Since 2001, almost 400 Digi-
Key employees have gradu-
ated from Digi-Key
University.
Each year, Northlands
customized training/contin-
uing education department,
the Center for Outreach and
Innovation, serves many
individual and businesses in
our region and in collabora-
tion with other community
and technical colleges
throughout the state. In
Fiscal Year 2013, 152 busi-
nesses and 3,663 undupli-
cated students (7,471 indi-
vidual enrollments) enrolled
in courses or programs
through Northlands COI,
ranging from nursing assis-
tant certification to mine
safety to leadership to weld-
ing and many other fields.
In addition to teaching
sections of traditional stu-
dents during the academic
year, several Northland
instructors also help the col-
lege to meet the needs of
companies for customized
training. Joel Ziegler and
Brian Suckow have served
many regional employers
with just in time welding
training to meet the needs of
this demanding field.
Northland is endowed
with a wonderful technologi-
cal infrastructure. Since the
time of the merger of the
Thief River Falls and East
Grand Forks campuses in
2003, the IT department,
under the leadership of
Stacey Hron, has built sys-
tems that truly make the
college one institution. Our
new Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phone sys-
tem allow for video as well
as audio connectivity, with
each employee having a
four-digit number and an
integrated college directory.
Our new telepresence class-
rooms on the East Grand
Forks, Thief River Falls, and
Aerospace campuses have
brought a superior experi-
ence to those who use them
for interactive television.
Our students have access to
up-to-date computers and
computer labs. Our class-
rooms and laboratories are
equipped with teaching sta-
tions that allow instructors
to bring new information to
students. Northland has
been a leader in online edu-
cation in the State of
Minnesota, with 11 pro-
grams and 121 unique
course offerings.
Northland is a mem-
ber of four Centers of
Excellence. Since its incep-
tion in 2006, Northland has
been a member of the 360
Center of Excellence in
Applied Engineering, head-
quartered at Bemidji State
University. In 2012,
Northland was invited to
join the University of North
Dakota Center of Excellence
for UAS Research,
Education and Training. It
was unusual for an out-of-
state institution to be
included and both MnSCU
and the NDUS had to
approve this move. In the
past year, Northland has
been invited into the
MnSCU Center of
Excellence in
Transportation, serving as a
lead for aerospace issues.
And, together with Central
Lakes College and
Ridgewater College,
Northland was awarded des-
ignation from MnSCU as the
Northern Center of
Excellence in Agriculture.
Northland has a keen
focus on student success.
Last year, we adopted
Commit 2 Complete as our
quality initiative for Higher
Learning Commission
accreditation. Several
strategies have been
employed to assure that stu-
dents are given encourage-
ment and support to com-
plete the goals they have set
for themselves. Northlands
retention and completion
rates are strong.
Our employees are
engaged in community and
professional service. A small
sample includes: Chief
Financial Officer Shannon
Jesme was just invited to
join the Board for Sanford
Hospital in Thief River
Falls, Brian Huschle is a
member of the Unmanned
Aircraft Systems Research
Compliance Committee,
University of North Dakota.
Jim Retka just completed a
year as president of the
National Coalition of
Advanced Technology
Centers. And Farm Business
Management faculty mem-
ber Randy Zimmerman is
the mayor of Ulen.
Andrew Dahlen is lead-
ing a team of students for
the second year to the VEX
Robotics National
Championship competition.
Team members built two dif-
ferent sized, innovative
robots that work together to
score the most points possi-
ble in qualification matches,
elimination matches, and
Skills Challenges. Robots
must operate in autonomous
and driver controlled modes
in each match to accumulate
points.
Northlands leadership
in the emerging UAS field
positions the college to assist
students, industries, and the
communities of northwest-
ern Minnesota. The emerg-
ing emphasis on UAS use in
precision agriculture was
given a tremendous boost
recently when it was
announced that Northland
had been awarded the first
certificate of authorization
to fly small UAS in Roseau
County to collect images for
application in precision agri-
culture.
The Farm Business
Management faculty mem-
bers are working with the
administration to diversify
Northlands offerings in
agriculture. A broad umbrel-
la is envisioned with FBM,
Farm Operations and
Management, Agriculture
Education, and
Agribusiness. This diversifi-
cation will enable the college
to continue its FBM program
in a sustainable fashion and
will give regional students
at all levels many more
opportunities to pursue an
education. This work will
also be done in collaboration
with the Northern Center of
Excellence in Agriculture.
Although Northland
has many strong articula-
tion agreements, we will be
pursuing even more. The
University of Minnesota
Crookston provides many
opportunities for transfer
that will be of benefit to
Northland students.
The Ignite PSEO
Scholarship awards Lincoln
High School students who
choose to attend Northland-
TRF. If students have
earned Northland credits
while they are in high
school, they are eligible for a
scholarship of $50/credit
earned, up to a maximum of
$1,500. This scholarship was
initiated by a generous gift
from Orren and Odette
Bendickson.
The NCTC Foundation
annually awards more than
$100,000 in scholarships to
students. Since 2009, the
NCTC Foundation has
awarded over $150,000 to
dislocated workers.
The Enrollment
Management department
has doubled the opportuni-
ties for students to visit cam-
puses to explore careers and
educational pathways.
Recently, more than 200 stu-
dents visited the EGF cam-
pus and 100 students from
LHS alone visited the TRF
campus. We hope all of these
students will choose
Northland!
As time goes by, we will
take the opportunity to high-
light all of the strengths that
Northland brings to its com-
munities. We are proud of
the educational opportuni-
ties we provide to our region.
We are proud of the success
of our students and gradu-
ates. We are proud of the
opportunities we will have to
strengthen the college, our
communities, and the eco-
nomic viability of our region.

Newfolden Fire
Department to
hold fundraiser
The Newfolden Fire
Department will host
Simply Spaghetti, a
spaghetti dinner fundraiser
with all the fixings, on
Sunday, April 27, from 10:30
a.m. to 2 p.m., at the
Newfolden Community
Center. Freewill donations
will be accepted.
The fire department must
raise $8,000 to replace
expiring air tanks. This life-
saving piece of equipment is
necessary for firefighters to
gain entry into burning
structures.
Sign-up begins for USDA Disaster Assistance
The first two tornadoes of
2014 damaged property near
Minneota and St. Leo in late
March. As tornado season
intensifies, every
Minnesotan should take
time to plan for severe
weather.
Gov. Mark Dayton has
proclaimed the week of April
21-25 as Severe Weather
Awareness Week. The week
includes two statewide tor-
nado drills Thursday, April
24. The mock tornado drills
give families an opportunity
to make sure they have a
plan to reach shelter in the
event of a tornado warning.
We are asking families to
discuss how they will react if
all members are not at home
when the outdoor warning
sirens sound, said
Homeland Security and
Emergency Management
Director Kris Eide.
Families change. What if a
tornado is headed for your
neighborhood and your eld-
erly mother can no longer
get to the basement? What if
your newly licensed 16-year-
old son is driving to the
movies alone? What if your
daughter is playing soccer
miles away? Do you have a
comprehensive family plan?
Mock tornado drill
Sirens will sound and tel-
evision, radio and NOAA
weather radios will broad-
cast tornado warning drills
at 1:45 and 6:55 p.m.
Thursday. According to the
National Weather Service
Minnesota experiences an
average of 40 tornadoes per
year.
A tornado warning
means a tornado has been
spotted or radar is indicat-
ing the strong likelihood of a
tornado forming, said
National Weather Service
Warning Coordination
Meteorologist Todd Krause.
When we issue a warning,
we need people to take cover
immediately.
The statewide tornado
drill offers two opportunities
to practice; the daytime drill
is an opportunity to practice
at school or work, and the
evening drill provides an
opportunity for families to
practice at home.
Natural disasters caused
more than $391 million in
damage across Minnesota
from 2000-13.

Extension honors leaders
Daren and Lindsey Asp,
Thief River Falls, received
special recognition for their
commitment to leadership
and their community during
the Emerging Leadership
Program recognition ban-
quet on Saturday, March 29.
They, along with individuals
from 16 other counties in
northwestern and west cen-
tral Minnesota, were recog-
nized for completing the
leadership program.
The banquet was emceed
by Agassiz Ambassadors
Garrett and Andrea Novak
(St. Hilaire) and featured
leadership stories by several
class participants, including
Shannon Finney
(Lancaster).
The banquet was also
where the new Agassiz
Ambassadors for 2014 were
announced. Recognized this
year were Erik and Shannon
Finney (Lancaster) who
were selected for this honor
from among other current
participants in the program
based on nominations from
program participants and
interviews with program
alumni. The Finneys will
apply their leadership skills
as they work with Extension
educators to develop and
deliver the next program
which will start this
November.
The Finneys live and
work on a beef cattle ranch.
They run 200+
Simmental/Angus cow-calf
pairs on roughly 2,000 acres.
They raise alfalfa, oats and
corn for feed, plus a large
garden for ourselves to use
and share with others. They
also bale and sell wheat
straw to dairies and feedlots
down south.
The Emerging Leadership
Program, a program of the
Extension, exists to create
and sustain a network of
community leaders in the
northwest and west central
regions of Minnesota focus-
ing on agricultural and nat-
ural resource issues. The
program consists of four
training sessions with con-
tent based on University of
Minnesota Extensions edu-
cational components
designed to strengthen civic
leadership.
The value of this training
was expressed by partici-
pants of this current class
who shared, This leader-
ship program has made a
difference by developing the
gifts and talents we already
have and giving us tools for
leadership to make a differ-
ence in our communities.
Another participant noted
that the program has given
me the confidence to go out-
side of my box and lead in
new ways.
The banquet was an
opportunity to celebrate the
30th anniversary of the
leadership program which
graduated its first class in
1985. It was a time to thank
those who support the pro-
gram, and for alumni of the
program from throughout
the region to gather to con-
tinue to encourage each
other.
The Emerging Leadership
Program is coordinated by
Extension educators, with
support from the Northwest
Minnesota Foundation.
There are nearly 1,000
alumni throughout the
region. Soon, those alumni
will be coming together to
select new participants for
the program. To nominate
yourself or someone else for
the program, contact the
Extension (1-888-241-4546).

Program go to http://blog.

A new report from the
Health shows significant
increases in the rates of
some sexually transmitted
diseases from 2012 to 2013.
While the state's overall
STD rate increased 10 per-
cent, the increases were
much higher for syphilis (up
64 percent) and gonorrhea
(up 26 percent).
The report is available on
the MDH website at www.
heal t h. st at e. mn. us/ st d.
According to Dr. Ed
Ehlinger, Minnesota health
commissioner, the increased
STD rates documented in
the report underscore the
importance of prevention,
testing, and awareness.
Untreated STDs can
have serious health conse-
quences, said Ehlinger.
Testing, diagnosing and
treating these diseases in
their early stages will pre-
vent long-term health prob-
lems and slow their spread.
Since most STDs don't show
symptoms, it's important for
sexually active people to get
tested each year or when
involved with a new part-
ner.
Reportable STDs in
Minnesota include chlamy-
dia, gonorrhea and syphilis.
There were 23,133 cases
reported in Minnesota in
2013, compared to 21,465 in
2012. Key findings within
the report include:
Chlamydia (up 4 per-
cent) is the number one
reported infectious disease
in the state, and it reached a
new high of 18,724 cases in
2013 compared to 18,048 in
2012. The majority of cases
occurred in teens and young
adults within the ages of 15
to 24. Nearly one in three
cases occurred in Greater
Minnesota.
Gonorrhea (up 26 per-
cent) remains the second
most commonly reported
STD in Minnesota, with
3,872 cases reported in 2013
compared to 3,082 in 2012.
Fifty-eight percent of all
gonorrhea cases occurred
among the 15- to 24-year-old
age group and 80 percent of
cases occurred in the Twin
Cities metropolitan area.
Primary and secondary
syphilis cases (up 64 per-
cent) are also a problem,
with 193 cases in 2013 com-
pared to 118 in 2012. New
infections continued to be
centered in the Twin Cities
area and among males, par-
ticularly men who have sex
with men. The rate of men
who have sex with men co-
infected with syphilis and
HIV was 46 percent. There
also was an increase in early
syphilis cases among women
in 2013, with 30 cases in
2013 compared to 18 in
2012.
The MDH report also
shows higher infection rates
for chlamydia and gonorrhea
among communities of color
and American Indians when
compared to whites.
Increases in syphilis infec-
tion rates were seen among
African-American, Asian
and white men who have sex
with men.
These disparities exist
among populations that
have the fewest opportuni-
ties to access prevention pro-
grams and testing due to
social, medical and/or
income disadvantages, said
Ehlinger. We need to
expand our partnerships
with our most impacted
communities to ensure these
services are available and
being used.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea
can lead to infertility in
women and men and can be
passed from an infected
woman to her newborn chil-
dren, causing premature
delivery, infant pneumonia
and blindness. Untreated
gonorrhea can spread to
organs and joints, leading to
life-threatening conditions.
Untreated syphilis can
cause blindness, mental ill-
ness, dementia and death.
People can prevent get-
ting or spreading STDs by
abstaining from sexual con-
tact, delaying the start of
sexual activity, limiting the
number of sexual partners,
always using latex condoms
during sex, and by not shar-
ing needles for drug use,
piercing or tattooing.
Partners of STD-infected
patients also need to get
tested and treated to pre-
vent re-infection or spread to
others.
Health care providers can
play a critical role in reduc-
ing STD rates. Health care
providers should assess the
sexual risks among their
patients and provide the
necessary STD screenings
according to guidelines from
the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Health care providers are
also responsible for making
a reasonable attempt to
ensure the treatment of
their patient's sex partners.
MDH recommends that
partners of STD infected
patients get tested and
treated at the same time to
prevent re-infection.
Expedited partner therapy
allows physicians to dis-
pense prescriptions or med-
ications to their patients
who have tested positive for
chlamydia or gonorrhea. The
patient can give those pre-
scriptions or medications to
the patient's sexual partners
who are uninsured, unwill-
ing or unable to get to a clin-
ic.
Action steps and
resources MDH provides for
STD control, monitoring,
prevention, testing and
treatment can be found on
the MDH website at www.
health.state.mn.us/std. The
site features the Minnesota
STD Surveillance Report for
2013, as well as STD fact
sheets, information about
expedited partner therapy,
National STD Awareness
Month (April) campaign
materials, and a link to STD
treatment guidelines.
Additional resources
available online include the
Minnesota Chlamydia
Partnership action plan to
reduce and prevent chlamy-
dia in the state, at
www.health.state.mn.us/
mcp, and the MDH Partner
Services Program, which
provides follow-up services
to people with HIV, syphilis,
and those referred from clin-
ics with untreated chlamy-
dia and gonorrhea and their
sexual partners who may
need examination and treat-
ment. That information can
be found at www.
health.state.mn.us/divs/idep

vices.html.

referred to past council prac-
tices. Dagg said the council
cant cherry-pick bids and
the council needs to be con-
sistent.
The council is expected to
discuss the matter further at
its next Committee of the
Whole meeting.
The city continues to
contend with frozen
water service lines. As of
that Tuesday evening, Water
Systems Superintendent
Wayne Johnson said about
40 homes are obtaining their
water from garden hoses.
One homes water service
line has thawed.
Johnson continues to
encourage most residents to
check the temperature of
cold water coming out of
their faucets every day. Prior
to checking the temperature,
they should let the water
run continuously for five
minutes. If the water tem-
perature were 35 degrees
Fahrenheit or lower, the res-
idents service lines are in
danger of freezing. If that
were the case, residents are
then encouraged to leave a
steady stream of cold water
running in their homes. The
stream of water should be
the size of a pen or pencil.
Johnson estimated that resi-
dents would be able to stop
checking their water tem-
perature in two weeks when
the temperature is 60
degrees on a more regular
basis. They may also stop
letting the water run contin-
uously if the water is 37
degrees Fahrenheit or more.
The suggestion to check
water temperature doesnt
apply to mobile home resi-
dents. Their service lines are
located underneath their
homes, and their water
pipes are typically covered
in heat tape. Their sewer
lines are also exposed, and
the water leaving the mobile
homes may not leave the
properties fast enough.
City Council heard an
update on the Sgt. Don
Myers Memorial Fund.
Myers died in the line of
duty Feb. 17, 1962, after an
assailant shot him following
a chase.
His memory has been
forgotten since then, said
Officer Ryan Bassett, who
initiated the fundraising
effort with fellow officers.
So far, more than $2,500
has been raised for the fund.
A bas relief plaque with
Myers photograph will soon
be placed in the Law
Enforcement Center lobby.
The police department
continues to raise money for
law enforcement scholar-
ships in memory of Myers
and Police Chief Roy
Pederson. Both of these
men need to be honored for
the sacrifices they made for
this city, Bassett said.
Pederson, who replaced
Myers on the department,
died in a plane crash Jan.
28, 1974, on the way to a
tour of a law enforcement
facility. Two council mem-
bers also died in the crash. A
plaque in their memory is
located in the LEC lobby.
Donations can be dropped
off at Northern State Bank
or the LEC. For more infor-
mation, contact Ryan
Bassett at the LEC at 681-
6161.
Dagg read a proclama-
tion regarding the annu-
al distribution of Buddy
Poppies by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars in May.
The proclamation read in
part, VFW Buddy Poppies

veterans, and the proceeds
of this worthy fundraising
campaign are used exclu-
sively for the benefit of dis-
abled and needy veterans,
and the widows and orphans

summer hours for city
employees. Summer hours
start Monday, May 19 and
conclude Friday, Sept. 5.
Summer hours will be from
7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday
through Thursday, and 7
a.m. to 12 p.m. Friday. Since
it is a 41-hour workweek,
employees will alternate
who works from 7 to 11 a.m.
and from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. in
their departments.
Staff will continue to be
available on Fridays and
weekends in departments
that offer programming on
those days. Police officers,
firefighters and liquor store
employees will continue to
work their regular hours.
The council scheduled
a public hearing Tuesday,
May 6 for the vacation of
the former Pennington
County Road 62 right-of-
way. The public hearing will
be held at 5:10 p.m.
The city plans to con-
struct a frontage road near
that area for the future
Cenex truck stop and A&W
that will be located on the
former Home Lumber prop-
erty.
The city also plans to
partner with Cenex on a plat
for their properties. The city
owns four nearby acres for a
possible future site of the
liquor store. By partnering
with Cenex for the plat, the
city will save about $3,000.
It is expected that the plat
will cost a total of $6,000.
selling a city-owned par-
cel in Lot 1, Block 7 of
Riverside Addition. Ray
Kuznia purchased the parcel
for $1,200 plus closing costs.
The undeveloped parcel is
located at the intersection of
Eighth Street and Red Lake
Boulevard. Kuznia owns the
property to the south of the
parcel.
The city acquired the par-
cel after a condemned house
was demolished. Since it
owned the property, the city
was responsible for mowing
the property and shoveling
sidewalks adjacent to the
property.
The next council meet-
ing is scheduled Tuesday,
May 6 at 5 p.m. at City
Hall. After that meeting,
the council plans to meet as
the Committee of the Whole.
School calendar discussed/Continued
accepts input from several
sources, but the ultimate
responsibility for adopting
the calendar rests with the
Board of Education.
Monday, two proposals
were provided to the Board
of Education to consider.
Both proposals increased
student contact days by two
days, and locked in a day on
either side of Easter for the
holiday. But, the proposals
struggled to provide inser-
vice days, which could be
used to provide technology
training for educators.
There were differences
between the Christmas holi-
day, as well, that didnt
agree with some members of
the Board of Education, but
most of the discussion sur-
rounded finding time for the
technology inservice days.
School District became a
technology leader in
Minnesota when it adopted
a 1:1 computer program for
all students in the District.
A key element of making
that program successful and
sustaining is providing
teachers with the training
and knowledge to utilize
that technology in their
classrooms. The inservice
training goes far beyond
learning to turn on comput-
ers. Today, it involves shar-
ing information about appli-
cations that work in the
classroom.
Various proposals to allow
for technology inservice
were discussed. Some of the
proposals included shifting
some of the days around
Christmas and utilizing
some of the time for inser-
vice days. Another proposals
included reducing the num-
ber of hours needed for par-
ent-teacher conferences and
using some of those hours
for technology inservice.
Another proposal involved
using the day off for
Presidents Day in February.
Tim Vagle, technology
coordinator for the district,
said smaller periods of time
for technology inservice that
are spread out over the year
are more helpful.
Chris Melbye, a member
of the Board of Education
who sits on the Meet and
Confer committee, said he
still believes the technology
piece is critical to the contin-
ued success of the program
and students.
Solving the dilemma isnt
as easy as extending the
school year. Additional days
are difficult to add to the cal-
endar year because the
number of days are part of
negotiations with teachers.
Added days
According to discussion at
the meeting, Thief River
Falls had the lowest number
of student contact days in
the area (169). Officials with
the District said its not by
much - about a day - but the
District has had the lowest
number of student contact
days.
Regardless, the student
contact days in the District
does fall within the require-
ments by the state, which
requires 165 days. According
to state law, the annual cal-
endar must include at least
425 hours of instruction for a
kindergarten student with-
out a disability, 935 hours of
instruction for a student in
grades 1 through 6, and
1,020 hours of instruction
for a student in grades 7
through 12, not including
summer school commencing
with the school year. The
calendar must include at
least 850 hours of instruc-
tion for all-day kindergarten
students.
Graduation Day
is May 29?
Considerable discussion
was also devoted to moving
graduation day from the
Friday of Memorial Day
weekend (May 25) to May
29. Both proposals present-
ed to the Board of Education
placed graduation on May
29.
Chairman Mike Spears
reminded members of the
Board of Education why
graduation has been on the
Friday before Memorial Day.
He explained that the
change was made in 2001
because it would allow trav-
el time for friends and rela-
tives before and after gradu-
ation. It also seemed to
avoid conflict with high
school activities, like track.
Misty Hempel, a member
of the Meet and Confer com-
mittee, said the rationale for
the change to May 29
involved making sure stu-
dents in grades 10 and 11
who shared classroom time
with seniors, were provided
a full week of valuable edu-
cational instruction.
Spears said that without
seeing a sport schedule, it
was hard to say how the
graduation ceremony would
be impacted.
Scott Brekke, assistant
principal at Lincoln High
School, said prior to 2001,
the Board of education used
to approve the graduation
date at a later time, such as
mid year. That would allow
the Board of Education to
check with the activities
director.
The matter was tabled to
give the Meet and Confer
committee and opportunity
to consider discussion and
input provided by members
of the Board of Education.
Developing the calendar
has been a difficult process
this year. Kevin Ballard, a
member of the Board of
Education, said it will prob-
ably be even more difficult
the following year because
Labor Day will fall on Sept.
7. Call your legislator, said
Ballard.
By law, schools in
Minnesota are not allowed
to start until after Labor
Day. If no changes are
approved, students could
end up going to school until
mid June.

wellness center and to prior-
itize those wishes. Indoor
and outdoor pools were at
the top of the list. Additional
top wishes, among others,
were a large gym space, an
area for young kids and a
building that can be used by
multiple generations.
Prudhomme noted that
the study is costing taxpay-
ers money and questioned
whether anything would be
done as a result of the study.
Otherwise, she said the
matter should be put to rest.
Prudhomme asked
whether anyone has
approached Sanford Health
about the possibility of part-
nering on a community well-
ness center with an indoor
pool. She noted similar facil-
ities are located at other
Sanford hospitals.
The study isnt complete
yet, said Parks and
Recreation Director Joe
Amundson. He said the
study is in the discussion
phase, and there are a cou-
ple of concepts that the firm
isnt yet ready to release. He
hoped to receive the results
soon.
Council Member Don
Sollom said the council
should hold off on spending
any more money on the
study until it learns what
the firm recommends in
terms of a community well-
ness center.
Great Lakes gets bid/Continued
New York led the FAA to
look at modifying require-
ments of Part 121. The end
result was the Airline Safety
and FAA Extension Act,
which was passed by
Congress in 2010.
Beginning Aug. 1, 2013,
co-pilots needed to be at
least 23 years old and have
at least 1,500 hours of flight
experience.
The new regulations
eventually led to a pilot
shortage. Great Lakes began
cancelling flights due to the
pilot shortage in October
and the number of flights
lost due to the pilot shortage
continued to grow in
November and December. In
January, Great Lakes
announced that it would be
suspending its air service to
and from Thief River Falls,
Devils Lake and Jamestown,
N.D.; Fort Dodge and Mason
City, Iowa; and Ironwood,
Mich, effective Feb. 1.
Joe Hedrick, manager of
the Thief River Falls
Regional Airport, said Great
Lakes maintained that it
planned to return passenger
service to Thief River Falls
under Part 135 regulations
in April or May. Hedrick said
that didnt change until
about two weeks ago, when
the carrier announced that
it didnt plan to return at all
under the old contract.
Great Lakes contract
with the U.S. DOT stipu-
lates that it must commence
service at Thief River Falls
by June 1 or the DOT may
locate and select a replace-
ment carrier to provide serv-
ice to Thief River Falls.
It admittedly will take
time to gain the customer
confidence in the airline,
Hedrick said. We hope that
they are onboard if the num-
bers show that [Great
Lakes] are reliable to come
out and fly with them
again.
Hedrick reported on
behalf of Great Lakes that
the carriers resume pool for
135 pilots is doing quite
well. These pilots dont have
the 1500 hours and need
Part 135-type jobs to gain
experience. Hedrick said the
main delay in getting pilots
who have the minimum
number of flight hours to
qualify for Part 135 is that
they have to go through a
four- to six-week class and
there are a limited number
of seats in each class.
Meanwhile, Part 121 pilots
are still being hired away.
Great Lakes initial EAS
bid was selected by the U.S.
DOT in November 2011,
with a two-year contract
going into effect in May
2012.
NCTC robotics
team competes
in Calif./Continued
going against four-year
schools like Purdue
University.
Walseth said the team
began working toward the
world championship with an
eight member team that met
one night a week. He said
school work and other con-
flicts got in the way for a
few. Over time, the attrition
caused by those scheduling
conflicts trimmed the roster
down to the three current
members.
You start getting into a
groove around January-
February going to high
school tournaments,
Walseth said.
Walseth served as techni-
cal support at high school
tournaments, while
Tydlacka and Radeke
worked as referees during
high school events.
The whole point is, this
is a recruitment effort,
Dahlen said. He added that
robotics is covered as part
of the electronics technology
program but the robotics
team learns a lot more about
programing.
You can put a lot off the
stuff we learn into real
world applications, Walseth
said.
The object of the VEX
competition changes each
year. This years game, Toss
Up is played on a 12-foot-
by-12-foot square field and
each game is played with
two alliances forming the
red and blue teams.
Scoring, which isnt tal-
lied until the end of each
two-minute game, includes:
one point for each
bucky ball (10 of each color)
in the middle zone;
one point for each large
ball in the middle zone;
two points for each
bucky ball in the goal zone;
five points for each large
ball in the goal zone;
five points for each
bucky ball stashed in a goal;
10 points for each large
ball stashed in a goal;
five points for each
robot that is low hanging;
10 points for each robot
that is high hanging;
10 bonus points for a
hanging robot with a ball;
and 10 bonus points for
the alliance with the most
points after the first minute
of the match, which is the
p r e - p r o g r a m m e d

FAA permits
UAS flights
Northland Community
and Technical College has
been given a certificate of
authorization from the
Federal Aviation
Administration to fly small-
unmanned aerial systems
(SUAS) over agricultural
areas in Roseau County.
Northland has been work-
ing on the authorization
over the last two years,
according to Northland UAS
Program Manager Jon Beck.
The authorization grants
Northland approval from
the FAA to fly a SUAS in
Roseau County under the
following conditions:
Prior approval from
landowner.
Fly under 500 over
farm field locations.
There must be a direct
line-of-sight between the
operator and the SUAS.
The imagery collected
will be used for Northland's
and the landowners educa-
tional purposes.
Northlands customized
training representative
Dave Grafstrom said,
Northland is working with
the county to develop a pro-
tocol to notify the public on
SUAS flights. Flights will
take place over land where
landowners have given
Northland permission to fly
SUAS over their fields for
agricultural purposes.
Northland intends to use
a hand launched SUAS to
collect imagery of farm fields
for use in Northlands
Imagery Analysis and
Geospatial Intelligence
Analysis programs in order
to aid in precision agricul-
ture activities. This imagery
will be used to develop use-
ful information for farmers
to enhance their farming
practices, such as crop
health monitoring, pest
detection, and increased
precision in variable rate
applications. This informa-
tion will lead to more envi-
ronmentally conservative
practices and help farmers
be more profitable.
According to Imagery
Analysis instructor
Francisco Frank Nix, The
SUAS will able to cover a
farm much faster than
someone on the ground. The
use of an SUAS can be more
efficient; it can cut costs and
become more environmen-
tally friendly.
Students in the
Unmanned Aerial Systems
Maintenance Training,
GeoInt and imagery analy-
sis programs will benefit
extensively because of the
authorization. UAS students
will gain real life experience
working on the SUAS as
well as seeing how they
operate in precision agricul-
ture. GeoInt and imagery
analysis students will be
able to actively learn and
help area farmers as they
interpret the data collected,
preparing them to be top
recruits for employment.
Safety and transparency
will be paramount, as the
project takes off in Roseau
County. We still have a lot
of coordination that we will
continue working through to
make sure the community
understands exactly what
we will be doing when flying
the UAS, said Beck.

A Viking man suffered a
broken leg Saturday after-
noon after a motorcycle acci-
dent three miles north of
Viking.
The 47-year-old man was
transported to North Valley
Health Center in Warren.
He was later transported to
Altru Hospital in Grand
Forks, N.D. The Marshall
County Sheriff s Office
declined to identify the man,
citing HIPAA rules.
At the time of the acci-
dent, the man was traveling
with other motorcyclists
near the intersection of
Marshall County Roads 14
and 11. Due to the wind, he
lost control of the motorcy-
cle, which then went into the
ditch.
Renovations and improvements to the
District Service Center for School District
564 in Thief River Falls have begun. Several
offices have been moved as a result of the

The School District 564 Service Center
located behind the hospital in downtown
Thief River Falls is undergoing major reno-
vations and improvements. The work was
included in the bond referendum approved

struction, several offices have moved.
Superintendent Laine Larson, Chris Wavra,
Becky Rogalla, Jodi Bergman and Stacie
Mooney will be located in the basement of

Easton Lopez actually came off the bag as the North-
land runner tried to help out the umpires by giving him-
self the safe sign on a stolen base attempt during
Fridays Minnesota College Athletic Conference base-
ball game against Northern Division rival Vermilion at
the Multi-Events Center in Thief River Falls. Second
baseman Brandon Weiser of the Ironmen tried to make
the tag on the play while shortstop Stetson Hogan
looked on. The Pioneers beat the Ironmen by a 3-2 mar-
gin both Friday and Saturday.
Opening Day win

Preceded by three
weather-related postpone-
ments, Thief River Falls
2014 high school baseball
season opener finally arrived
Monday as the Prowlers beat
Bagley 11-1 in a chilly five-
inning affair at the Multi-
Events Center.
A three-run first inning
that featured just one Thief
River Falls base hit set the
stage for the win. Four
walks, a hit-batsman and an
error all played a part in the
Prowlers early-game scoring.
It ended on a walk, too, as
Brody Merrill drew a bases
loaded, two-out free pass to
make it a ten-run spread in
the bottom of the fifth.
Lead-off hitter Keaton
Huot was 3-for-3 and clean-
up batter Landon Sanders
went 2-for-3 to lead a 7-hit
Thief River Falls offense.
Bagley pitching issued 11
walks.
The win went to starting
pitcher Turner Storm, who
threw four innings of two-hit
ball.

NCTC reaches .500 mark
Pre-game infield work took on a whole new meaning
for the Northland Community and Technical College
baseball team Friday as they tried to make the base
paths on the Multi-Events Center diamond playable for
a split doubleheader arrangement with Vermilion and
the University of Winnipeg. The games had been
moved from the Pioneers diamond because of field
conditions, but when the frost came up just before the
scheduled 1 p.m. Northland vs. Vermilion opener, play-
ers and coaches scrambled to fix the problem. They
raked and shoveled the mud, filled in spots with new
dirt and had the field ready to go, albeit 90 minutes
later than the original first pitch start time.
Prowlers run in
Fargo So. meet
After starting the 2014
season by going 0-8 on a
tough trip to Nebraska and
Texas, the Northland Com-
munity and Technical Col-
lege baseball team has
climbed back to .500.
The Pioneers reached the
break-even mark at 14-14
with a 3-1 weekend in Thief
River Falls that included a
sweep against Minnesota
College Athletic Conference
Northern Division rival Ver-
milion and a split in a non-
conference series with the
University of Winnipeg.
It took some doing to even
get the games off the ground.
First, the Pioneers aban-
doned their home turf behind
the college due to field condi-
tions in favor of the Multi-
Events Center diamond next
door. Then just prior to their
1 p.m. Friday opener against
Vermilion Northlands be-
lated home debut the frost
came up. That resulted in a
deep, muddy mess of the area
around home plate and down
the base path from both
home to first and home to
third.
A great deal of work by the
Northland players and
coaches finally made the field
playable, although the first
pitch wasnt delivered until
2:30 p.m.
By the end of a long,
windy, cold day, the Pioneers
had a 3-2 win over Vermilion
and a 13-6 loss at the hands
of Winnipeg
Saturday, conditions were
better, and the Pioneers
came up with a sweep as
they duplicated the 3-2 vic-
tory over the Ironmen and
added a 5-4 decision over the
Wessmen.
It was nice to come out of
the weekend 3-1 while
sweeping our conference
games, said Northland
coach Barry Dowers.
Friday, Northland saw
Vermilion score twice in the
top of the seventh inning to
tie the game 2-2, but came
back to push the game-win-
ner across the plate in the
bottom of the frame on a one-
out bases-loaded infield
ground-out on a sharp-hit
ball to first that was turned
into an out there, but the
relay to the plate for a now-
needed tag instead of force-
out was too late to get Taylor
Cantrell.
Game 2 was a 6-6 tie going
into the seventh when Win-
nipeg scored seven times on
just one hit. Four hit-bats-
men and two walks did in the
Pioneers.
We had a disappointing
end to the first game against
Winnipeg, acknowledged
Michael Kinzler stretched out as the Northland Com-
munity and Technical College pitcher delivered the ball
to the plate in a Friday baseball game against Vermil-
ion.
Two close matches went to
Thief River Falls Monday, se-
curing a 5-2 win over host
Crookston in boys high
school tennis.
Brady Nessen came up
with a come-from-behind 1-6,
6-4, 7-5 decision at No. 4 sin-
gles, while Nick Onkka-Isaac
Dvergsten rallied for a 4-6, 7-
6 (7-4), 6-2 victory at No. 2
doubles as the Prowlers ran
their dual meet record to 5-0.
Jorde Hutton and Ethan
Johnson added singles points
for the visitors and Michael
Magnusson-Carter Onkka
finished it with a win at No.
3 doubles.

track meet at Fargo, where
the Prowlers and Moorhead
joined an otherwise all-North
Dakota field for the Eagles
Relays at South High School.
Team titles went to the
Grand Forks Red River boys
and Fargo Davies girls. Thief
River Falls trailed the field
in both portions of the meet
that also included West
Fargo, Grand Forks Central,
Lisbon and the host Bruins.
On the girls side, Thief
River Falls sophomore Me-
leah Biermaier continued her
strong early-season perform-
ances by winning both the
300-meter hurdles and triple
jump.
The Prowlers had a second
place showing in the 8x200
relay with senior Shelby Nor-
lin, junior Carly Steenerson,
sophomore Kelsey Kainz and
freshman Savannah Peter-
son.
Thief River Falls boys
were led by junior Stephen
Holecek with a third place
finish in the 300-meter hur-
dles.

A muddy mess on the base paths had to
be cleaned up by members of the
Northland Community and Technical
College baseball team before the
Pioneers could play their 2014 home
open Friday at the Multi-Events Center.
Brylee Lingen (left photo) and Brevyn Lingen (right

Brylee placed third in the girls 8-9-year-old division,
while Brevyn was fourth in the boys 10-11-year-old
age group.

March 22 in Iowa City, Iowa.
Brylee finished third in

Brevyn was fourth in the

They are the children of
Bryce and Nicole Lingen.
Elks Hoop Shoot competi-

Qualifiers then move on to
district, state and regional
shoots leading to the nation-
al finals in Springfield,
Mass. Its estimated that
more than 3 million boys
and girls ages 8-13 take part
in the contest each year.
The Lingens represented

North Central Regional

fiers from Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Itasca sweeps Northland
Northland picked up a
couple of freebies
Wednesday when Fond du
Lac forfeited a scheduled
Minnesota College Athletic
Conference softball double-
header in Thief River Falls.
Thursday, however, those
wins were offset by a pair of
on-the-field losses to Itasca
games that were moved to
Erskine due to the field con-
ditions in Thief River Falls.
The Vikings shut out the
Pioneers 4-0 in the opener
and won a Game 2 shoot-out
18-14.
With short notice, Win-
E-Mac graciously allowed us
to play there, pointed out
Northland coach Kathy
Huschle. The field was in
great shape. They even
chalked it for us.
Northland is 4-8 for the
year, 2-2 in the MCAC
Northern Division.
We only had five hits
with four errors in Game 1,
noted Huschle. We found
our bats in Game 2. It came
down to our inexperience in
the outfield.
Marie Nordine and
Natalie Pearson produced a
bulk of the Pioneers first
game offense with 2-for-3
showings at the plate.
Northland banged out 21
second-game hits, including
a 4-for-5 effort by Nordine
and 3-for-5 performances by
both Jenna Lundon and
Katlyn Byfuglien.
But with limited outdoor
time due to the weather,
Huschle and the Pioneers
havent had the opportunity
to work out the kinks in an
inexperienced outfield. Its
the hardest position to prac-
tice in the gym, she men-
tioned.
A busy schedule this week
got off on the wrong foot
when a Monday home dou-
bleheader against Central
Lakes was postponed.
Northland was still
scheduled to host 3 p.m.
twinbills Tuesday vs. Rainy
River and Thursday against
Hibbing, plus a noon
Saturday doubleheader with
Vermilion before heading to
Mesabi Range for two games
Sunday afternoon.
We should get lots of
game experience this week,
said Huschle.
Freeze starts year
with twinbill split
Belated start to the 2014
high school softball season
for Northern Freeze fea-
tured a split doubleheader
Thursday at Red Lake Falls,
where a 4-1 Game 1 win
over the host Eagles was fol-
lowed by an 8-2 second-
game loss to
Badger/Greenbush-Middle
River.
Carly Safranski and
Kelsey Lindgren both had 3-
for-4 games while Savannah
Riopelle was 2-for-3 in the
Freeze victory over Red
Lake Falls. The winners
took control with a three-
run fifth that featured RBI
hits by Riopelle, Safranski
and Hannah Hoglo.
"This was a great game
for both teams, especially
early in the season," said
Freeze coach Jake Foslien.
"We were able to capitalize
in the fifth and put a few
things together to get us on
the board and open things
up a bit."
The Freeze had an error-
free opener to back the six-
hit, 3-walk pitching by
Safranski.
"Since our first practice,
we stressed that quality
defense and pitching were
going to be our keys this
year, and this game was a
prime example of that,"
pointed out Foslien.
Northern Freeze and
Badger/Greenbush-Middle
River were locked into a 2-2
ball game before the Gators
put together a six-run sixth
for the win.
"Up until the bottom of the
sixth, this game could have
went either way," offered
Foslien. "Our pitching and
defense kept us right there.
However, our offense needs
to improve."
Safranski was 3-for-3,
while Lindgren and
Samantha Blair both had
two hits.
"I'm proud of how these
girls played their first two
games of the season, espe-
cially considering the two
very quality opponents they
played," said Foslien.

Dowers. We had great
pitching performances this
weekend, but some sloppy
play on the defensive side at
times, and missed execu-
tions on the offensive side
made things closer than
they had to be.
Saturday started with a
extra-inning affair won by
Northland in the bottom of
the tenth when a two-out
walk, single by Preston
Brown and wild pitch shat-
tered a 2-2 tie.
A 12-hit offense and
error-free defense beat
Winnipeg to close out the
match-ups.
The best part is we came
out of the weekend 3-1 with-
out playing our best ball,
commented Dowers. Our
mistakes are correctable.
We are playing good ball
coming into a big week with
six conference games on the

Arbor Month officials
encourage nature play
A decline in nature play
has prompted the
Natural Resources to put
this years Arbor Month
(May) focus on encouraging
kids to climb trees and play
with nature in their back
yards and community.
According to the Children
& Nature Network and the
Commission on Education
and Communication, 88 per-
cent of children reported
using a computer almost
every day, while only 11 per-
cent of children reported
visiting a local park or natu-
ral area almost every day.
Nature play is easy,
affordable and safe.
Frequent, unstructured play
in diverse natural settings
promotes overall physical
and emotional health, cogni-
tive development, creativity,
physical ability and coordi-
nation. It also reduces stress
and forms the foundation for
responsible environmental
behavior.
DNR Question of the Week
Q: It is not uncommon to
find antlers lying on the for-
est floor in the spring. Why
do antlered species shed
their antlers?
A: Annual cycles in deer
antlers are related to the
changing seasons. Deer
have adapted their physiolo-
gy and behavior to respond
to seasonal changes, includ-
ing antler growth and shed-
ding. The environmental
cue that regulates antler
growth is the amount of day
length; the physiological cue
is the hormone testosterone.
Simply put, the changing
day lengths are sensed by
the eyes, which send this
message via the optic nerve
to the brain.
Gov. Mark Dayton
declared April 2026 as
Wildfire Prevention Week in
Minnesota to increase
awareness of outdoor wild-
fire hazards.
Each spring wildland fire-
fighters and rural fire
department volunteers
spend countless hours bat-
tling wildfires that could
have been easily prevented.
In the past 18 months,
wildfires burned 21 homes
and three commercial build-
ings and threatened more
than 500 other structures,
according to the Minnesota
Department of Natural
Resources. These fires were
caused by people misjudging
the weather and danger of
fires escaping their control.
Due to the dead and dry
grasses that can easily catch
fire, spring is always a risky
time for wildfires in
Minnesota, said Larry
Himanga, DNR wildfire pre-
vention coordinator.
A major cause of wildfires
is burning yard waste. The
DNR recommends compost-
ing or mulching instead. If
burning is necessary,
landowners should check
fire burning restrictions in
their area, get a burning
permit, be careful with their
debris fires and remember
small-piled debris can hold
hot coals for several days to
months for large ones.
The DNR has developed
new wildfire prevention Web
p a g e s
(www.dnr.state.mn.us/ wild-
fire/prevention/index.html)
to help increase awareness
of wildfire prevention and
the dangers of wildfires.
Burning restrictions will
continue to expand into
northern Minnesota as fire
danger increases due to
snow melt.
Visit www.mndnr.gov/
forestry/fire/firerating_restr
ictions.html for current
statewide fire danger infor-
mation and burning restric-
tions.
When you light a fire,
you are responsible for keep-
ing it under control and
staying with it until it is
out, Himanga said. If you
think your fire is out, check
again.

Editorial opinion published under this head ing is intended to stimulate thinking and discussion among our readers. Unless speci fied other wise, the editorials are written by Editor Dave Hill
and do not represent opinion of other staff members. Opinions in items from other publications may not coincide with the editors own views but are offered for their general interest.
To the Editor:
Times provided Northland
College (Northland) a copy
of a letter authored by Mr.
Hardy and Mr. Whitney, and
asked for Northlands
response. Although it
appears that some of the
concerns in the letter are
based on misperceptions or
incorrect information, it is
gratifying to know about the
positive impact that
Northland has had on the
letter writers lives and their
continuing commitment to
Northland and its students.
Northland is committed
to ensuring that all students
have educational opportuni-
ties that will help launch
them toward success in their
lives and their careers. We
are proud of Northlands
record of commitment to
increasing student diversity
from 11.6 percent in 2007 to
16 percent in 2012. During
that time, the completion
rate for our students of color
increased by over 16 per-
cent, exceeding the average
completion rate of college
students across the
Minnesota State Colleges
and Universities system.
The colleges diversity pro-
vides a rich opportunity for
all of our students as well as
the surrounding community.
Our experience tells us that
the key to these students
success is the strong educa-
tion programming we pro-
vide.
As with other public col-
leges across our state and
across the country,
Northland is faced with
increasingly more serious
financial constraints. Our
fiscal realities mean that we
must be as focused as possi-
ble on providing the right
programming mix at the col-
lege. We continue to develop
and grow programs we
believe best support the
Thief River Falls community
and our students. For exam-
ple, the college is negotiat-
ing a 37 and one-half-year
lease with the Thief River
Falls Regional Airport
Authority for our Thief River
Falls aviation programs, and
we are actively pursuing
bonding monies during the
current legislative session to
improve the aviation pro-
gram facilities to serve the
college and the area far into
the future. We have worked
diligently to address housing
issues that pose a challenge
for students who wish to
attend classes on the Thief
River Falls campus, and will
continue to do so. We offer a
robust assortment of online
education courses and pro-
grams from the Thief River
Falls campus and have seen
significant growth in enroll-
ment in those programs.
It is painful to make
changes to cherished and
longstanding programs,
whether they involve athlet-
ics or educational programs.
We regret that the decision
to suspend the football pro-
gram needed to be made
very quickly and did not
include the level of consulta-
tion we expect; our goal
always is to engage in dia-
logue with the students and
affected members of the
community before signifi-
cant changes are made.
Please see our past editori-
als for more detail regarding
the reasons for the changes
and considerations for rein-
stating the football program
in the future.
Finally, and most impor-
tantly, we want to respond to
suggestions that this years
suspension of the football
program is somehow reflec-
tive of decreased commit-
ment to diversity: Nothing
could be further from the
truth. Northland remains
passionately committed to
supporting and increasing
diversity in our programs.
We want to be crystal clear
that the college remains
fully engaged in both
increasing and supporting
the diverse student popula-
tion at the Thief River Falls
campus, helping students to
be successful in every way
possible, and to ensuring
that we offer vibrant pro-
gramming that will best

We appreciate the sup-

community for our campus
and programs, and look for-
ward to future discussions
about the colleges direction.

Thief River Falls may
not come close to rank-
ing among the top 20
cities in the world for
earning tourist dollars,
but tourism and its
impact on the economy
of this small town is
vitally important.
According to 2013 sta-
tistics, New York City
earned $18.6 billion in
tourist dollars, London
$16.3 billion, Paris
$14.6 billion, Bangkok
$14.3 billion, and
Singapore $13.5 billion.
Communities in north-
western Minnesota
arent even close to
earning those kinds of
tourist dollars, but that
doesnt mean they
shouldnt try.
Tourism contributes to
the success of many
local businesses - hotels,
motels, gas stations,
clothing stores. Tourism
also contributes to
greater economic activi-
ty from individuals who
rely on jobs that support
tourism. Hotel employ-
ees, for example, spend
their income in the local
area for housing, food,
transportation and the
usual array of household
products and services.
And by bringing in these
outside dollars, a com-
munity can benefit from
a larger and more
diverse mix of retail and
improved services.
The economic impact
in Thief River Falls is
significant. According to
Explore Minnesota,
gross sales in
Pennington County
amounted to over $24
million, which generated
$1.63 million in sales
tax for the state and
contributed 536 jobs to
private sector employ-
ment.
Of course, tourisms
impact is significant in
other areas as well.
There are impacts on
infrastructure, such as
roads, airports and
parks. Therefore its
important for communi-
ties to weigh the costs
and benefits and include
those decisions into
future planning for the
community. And, its
important for the state
to understand that it
would be an impossible
burden for local taxpay-
ers to pick up the infra-
stucture costs to accom-
modate all of these visi-
tors.
Marketing has to be
considered as well. The
state of Minnesota esti-
mates that for every $1
invested in state
tourism marketing,
returns are estimated at
$84 in spending by trav-
elers and $8 in local
taxes. When faced with
these facts and esti-
mates, local organiza-
tions must ask some
important questions,
such as at what point
does advertising become
less effective?
Experts tell us that
communities would be
wise to consider a strat-
egy to attract more
tourists, and at the
same time, to address
development strategies -
planning, for instance,
that addresses how the
community can serve
the needs of the traveler
and capture a greater
share of their spending.
By means of direct
and indirect effects,
tourism can impact vir-
tually every sector of the
economy. The magnitude
of the impact depends
upon the measure and
any multipliers used.
Communities in
northwestern Minnesota
are fortunate in that
they are uniquely situ-
ated to attract tourists
year round - snowmobil-
ers and other winter
sports enthusiasts in the
winter; fishing, birding
and camping in the
spring, summer and fall,
and hunting in the fall.
Experts tell us that our
communities should
plan and consider ways
to capitalize on their
natural resources.
Recently, the Thief
River Falls Convention
and Visitors Bureau
offered a tour for all
front-line staff - people
who are often the first
people visitors see when
they arrive in the com-
munity and want to
know what is there to do
in Thief River Falls.
There are countless
things to do in the com-
munity. Informing our
visitors of all of the
opportunities available
to them is one thing we
need to do well to create
a positive impression on
visitors. This sort of
activity is one of many
things communities
need to do to ensure the
success of tourism and
improve the economy of
the communities in this
region.
Tourism is
vital to our
economy

Letters
Was racism a factor in suspending football?
(This letter was submitted
to the NAACP in St. Paul
and then submitted to The
Times by J.D. Hardy and
Melvin Whitney, its authors.)
To the Editor:
We are writing to make
you aware of a situation that
is happening in Thief River
Falls, on the campus of
Northland Community and
Technical College. This situ-
ation is adversely affecting
the culture and climate of
the college.
In mid-December 2013,
Dr. Anne Temte, president of
Northland Community and
Technical College announced
the suspension of the college
football team, stating at that
time, her decision was based
on budgetary reasons. This
decision appears to have
been made without strategy,
behind closed doors, and
without involving students,
faculty or community mem-
bers.
Since the announcement,
there have been several com-
ments made in public set-
tings by several Northland
administrators;
Carey Castle, vice
president of academic and
student affairs, when chal-
lenged in a public setting
that the monetary impact
from losing these football
students was greater than
the savings, replied with a
statement that the suspen-
sion of the football program
was not because of budget
concerns. Furthermore, no
firm explanation has ever
been given to the student
athletes or student body as
to why a decision of this
magnitude was made with-
out student, faculty or com-
munity input.
A current NCTC
administrator commented
that enrollment and espe-
cially female enrollment will
probably increase at the col-
lege because that happened
at a community college on
the Iron Range when they
dropped football.
At a recent meeting of
the Thief River Falls Sports
Boosters, a current NCTC
faculty member and coach
made a statement that con-
nected problems in the com-
munity with housing, trans-
portation and behaviors to
inner city student athletes
recruited to play football.
It is our belief that the
current administration of
NCTC has adopted a calcu-
lated, intentional strategy to
change the face of the cur-
rent student body and future
student bodies by suspend-
ing the college football pro-
gram.
The responsibility for cre-
ating an environment that
reflects an appreciation of
cultural diversity rests with
the college. The Minnesota
State Colleges and
University system is
charged with providing edu-
cational environments free
of discrimination, harass-
ment and violence as well as
recruiting and retaining a
diverse student body. As a
public institution, this
charge is as important a
measure as any other. The
current NCTC leadership
has gone astray from this
public mission of education
and the majority of its lead-
ers today embody personal
characteristics that foster
discrimination.
We are requesting the
authorities of MnSCU,
which provides the majority
of NCTCs funding, to look
into this institution and
determine whether or not its
practices are in line with
MnSCU goals and objectives
that emphasize the impor-
tance of diversity. Below
each of our signatures, you
will find a personal state-
ment that speaks to why we
have written this letter.
Respectfully submitted,
John D. Hardy
Melvin Whitney, Jr.
(John Hardy graduated
from NCTC in 1994. He
played football for the
Pioneers 1992 and 1993 and
was offered a scholarship to
continue his education and
play football at Northern
Illinois University. He
served as the NCTC Student
Senate president. After
graduating from college, he
returned to NCTC as direc-
tor of Minority Student
Services for six years. For
the past eight years, he has
been helping inner city ath-
letes from the Chicago area
find great college education-
al opportunities in small set-
tings that can provide other
things to help with their stu-
dent success. Athletic expe-
riences contribute to the
overall education critical to
building young people with
the skills to succeed and
make contributions in a
diverse world.
Melvin Whitney, Jr.
graduated from NCTC in
1998. Raised in Chicago, he
was recruited and played
football for the Pioneers in
1995 and 1996. He was
voted Homecoming King
during Homecoming Week
festivities his sophomore
year at Northland. He was a
member of the NCTC
Student Senate as well as a
member of the Diversity
Committee while attending
Northland. He is currently
residing and working in the
Fargo-Moorhead metro area.
He believes in Northland
College and the opportuni-
ties that it gave him as a
young man, and he wants to
see those opportunities
passed on to more genera-
tions.)

POLICIES
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, DFL
senator from Minnesota,
introduced legislation to
strengthen support for local
enforcement and put more
cops on the street.
The COPS Improvement
Act of 2014 would reautho-
rize funding for the
Community Oriented
Policing Services (COPS)
program to help local police
departments hire more offi-
cers to fight crime. The suc-
cessful COPS program has
put over 100,000 cops on the
beat since 1994. Sen. Al
Franken, DFL senator from
Minnesota, is a cosponsor of
the legislation.
As a former prosecutor, I
know how important it is to
have cops on the beat to
keep communities safe,
Klobuchar said. The COPS
program helps local police
departments put more offi-
cers on the street to fight
crime, and this bill will help
make sure this program has
the support it deserves.
The Act would provide
vital support to local law
enforcement by funding the
COPS program through
2019, and authorizing the
Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
as a distinct office within the
Department of Justice. The
COPS program awards
grants to state, local, and
tribal law enforcement agen-
cies throughout the U.S., so
they can hire and train law
enforcement officers to par-
ticipate in community polic-
ing, purchase and deploy
new crime-fighting technolo-
gies, and develop and test
new and innovative policing
strategies. Specifically, the
Act would fund grants to:
Meet emerging law
enforcement needs
Hire veterans to serve
as career law enforcement
officers for deployment in
community-oriented policing
Hire school resource
officers and establish local
partnerships to combat
crime, gangs, drug activities,
and other problems
Establish and imple-
ment innovative programs
to reduce and prevent illegal
drug manufacturing, distri-
bution, and use
Pay for additional
community prosecuting pro-
grams to handle cases from
specific geographic areas
and to address counter-ter-
rorism problems and violent
crime in local communities
Develop new technolo-
gies to assist state and local
law enforcement agencies in
crime prevention and train-
ing

After having written this column in the Times for

settled. In the meantime, goodbye to all of you readers,
and thanks for the nice things many of you have said
concerning our feeble efforts. [Beginning next week,
Echoes from the Past will present Mr. Holens columns
from 80 years ago. Keep watching for more.]

Make the decision to make a difference this
Earth Day. On Earth Day and every day, the
routine choices we make affect our planet, so
here are some simple tips for choosing wisely:
Reduce, reuse and recycle
at home, at work and at school.
Shop for used goods, or look for items
made from recycled materials.
Buy in bulk or multi-packs to
cut down on packaging waste.
Look for Energy Star
and WaterSense
labels on products like appliances

and plumbing fixtures.
Cut down on plastic bags by carrying
your own reusable shopping bag to the
store.
Properly dispose of recyclable items,
electronics and potentially hazardous
materials.
Always turn off lights and appliances
when you leave a room.
Unplug your mobile phone charger
when its not in use.
Walk, ride your bike or use public
transportation whenever possible.
Choose locally and organically produced
foods.
Turn off the water while brushing
your teeth or shaving.
Dont top off your gas tank,
as this lets harmful chemicals enter the air.
Go to www.epa.gov/earthday to find local
volunteer opportunities and to learn more
about steps you can take to protect our
planet.
