Little Brother, Little Sister
Program sees local revival
by David Hill
Editor
In 2009, after many years of service
to the youth and community of Thief
River Falls, the Little Brother Little
Sister program of Pennington County
ceased to exist. Now, a local group of cit-
izens is hoping to revive the organiza-
tion.
April Ballard, who has taken up the
effort to revive the program, said her
dad and uncle were Big Brothers. Forty
years later, she said her uncle still re-
mains in contact with the youth he
mentored in the program.
The Little Brother Little Sister pro-
gram in Thief River Falls is similar to
the Big Brother Big Sister program in
that both are volunteeer-supported
youth mentoring programs. The local
program separated from the organiza-
tion many years ago in an effort to re-
duce expenses. Separating from the
organization was one of the many sacri-
fices it made to survive. It continued to
make sacrifices, but when the recession
hit the country in 2008-2009, many
funding sources shriveled or dried up
and the focus shifted too much to
fundraising and not enough on the kids.
Ballard believes there is a need for
the program in the community. Even
prior to the end of the program in 2008,
the program reported a long waiting list
of children waiting to be matched to a
mentor. In 2012, a student survey con-
ducted in Pennington County that was
compiled by Alison Toren, PhD, also re-
ported that among other issues, at risk
students do not feel they get much sup-
port from their community or their
neighbors, and that they dont believe
they have useful roles in the commu-
nity.
The goals of this program would turn
those survey results around. Specifi-
cally, the goals include valuing and sup-
porting youth, preventing juvenile
crime, increasing school success and de-
creasing juvenile depression.
When and if the new program gets
started, Ballard said they expect a big
demand for mentors and are hoping to
match 50 youth with adult mentors.
Fundraising for the program has al-
ready begun. Ballard said they met
their first fundraising goal of $7,000. Al-
though the organization is currently co-
ordinating a small pilot program with
Sanford Health, it wont begin to offer
its services in the community of Thief
This is the new logo for the Little Brother Little Sister pro-
gram of Pennington County. The logo was created by Court-
ney Salol at Salol Signs in Goodridge. The organization has
several representatives from service organizations on its
board of directors, but would also like to have a couple of
members from the community serving on the board. It has
met its first fundraising goal and is in the process of moving
toward its second goal, which would allow the organization
to begin matching adult mentors with children. For more in-
formation, call April Ballard at 681-8670, extension 4152, or

Trash to treasure
by April Scheinoha
Reporter
The seeds of The White
House Boutique were
planted many years ago.
Back then, Cory Jorde would
shop at auction sales and
rummage sales with her two
young daughters. They hated
it. Fast forward, and now
Katie Schiltz and Sam
Klinkhammer are rummage
sale addicts. Their business
sells some merchandise pur-
chased at rummage sales.
Katie and Sam own The
White House Boutique,
which is located on their par-
ents property about seven
miles northwest of Thief
River Falls. The business
sells repurposed vintage
items and reclaimed furni-
ture. It also sells signs made
by Wheat & Beans in
Goodridge. Occasionally, they
allow photographers to hold
mini-sessions at the shop.
Katie said they offer more
eclectic, edgy merchandise
than other junk refurbishing
businesses. Sam said, We
like to bring in vintage stuff
and make it modern.
The stay-at-home moms
open the shop two times a
year, traveling from the
Fargo-Moorhead area, where
they live, to Thief River
Falls. They also host the Vin-
tage Carnival each Novem-
ber at the National Guard
Armory in Thief River Falls.
In addition, they sell mer-
chandise at shows in Fargo,
N.D., and Ottertail.
The White House Bou-
tique is a family business
through and through. The
sisters receive assistance
from their parents, Randy
and Cory Jorde, in the oper-
ation of the business. Hes
like our handyman. Our
mom is our vintage lover,
Katie said. Cory also watches
her daughters three kids,
seven dogs and cat when the
shop is open.
Randy has also been
called into service numerous
times. One time, Katie saw a
picture of a bicycle that was
made into a table. She gave
the picture to Randy and
asked him if he could create
something similar. A short
time later, he sent her a
photo of the finished table.
Another time, Randy was
asked to track down some-
thing that would complement
the large hands of a clock. He
found the top of an old grain
bin, making a large clock out
of both pieces.
Katie and Sam also re-
ceive support and other as-
sistance from their respective
husbands, Lance and Justin.
Katies daughter Betsy pro-
vides support as well. She
takes after her mom and
aunt. She likes to create
things. Oftentimes, Betsy
helps decorate the shop and
sells self-designed book-
marks there.
Public hearing
for tobacco
ordinance set
by Scott DCamp
Reporter

The Pennington County
Board of Commissioners will
hold a public hearing to dis-
cuss proposed changes to the
countys tobacco ordinance.
The hearing will be held at
5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug.
26.
During their meeting on
Tuesday, July 22, the County
Board set the date for the
public hearing and finalized
the draft version of the ordi-
nance that will be made
available for public comment
and presented at the hear-
ing.
The new ordinance will in-
clude a description of the
countys jurisdiction. Under
section three of the new ordi-
nance, any Pennington
County municipality that
does not have an ordinance,
such as the city of Goodridge,
will be covered by the county
ordinance.
The Board decided to re-
move section four, subdivi-
sion nine, which states that
it is a privilege to have a to-
bacco license. The consensus
among commissioners and
County Attorney Alan Ro-
galla was that the language
was repetitive with other
portions of the ordinance.
Commissioners also chose
to remove a phrase from sec-
tion four, subdivision 10,
which states: Smoking for
the purposes of sampling to-
bacco, tobacco products, or
electronic delivery devices,
Fighting
crude
oil fires
by April Scheinoha
Reporter
Thief River Falls firefight-
ers will soon receive addi-
tional training on how to
handle railroad emergencies
that may involve crude oil. At
its meeting Monday, July 21,
the Thief River Falls Parks
and Recreation/Public Safety
Committee heard about the
training opportunity.
Co-Fire Chief Barry New-
ton told the committee that
four Thief River Falls full-
time firefighters are partici-
pating in the training in
Colorado. Two firefighters
will attend the two-day
hands-on training seminar in
September. Two others will
attend in October. With the
exception of travel arrange-
ments to Grand Forks, N.D.,
Canadian Pacific Rail is pay-
ing for the training.
Newton expected that the
firefighters would bring back
information on how to handle
an emergency if it were to
occur with crude oil on the
railroad. He also anticipated
that they would bring back
information on any equip-
ment that the department
may need for such situations.
CP Rail was also expected
to provide two-hour basic
training to Thief River Falls
volunteer firefighters
Wednesday, July 30 in Thief
River Falls. St. Hilaire and
Goodridge firefighters have
been invited to participate.
Council Member
Rachel Prudhomme
voiced concerns about the
lack of summer events at
Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Prudhomme, who formerly
lived in Michigan, noted the
Silverdome hosted numerous
events outside of the football
season. Here, she said the
city could offer batting cages
at the arena or play movies
on a big screen similar to
Movie in the Park. Prud-
homme also referred to the
possibility of hosting concerts
like the Johnny Holm Band
concert hosted by the Thief
River Falls Amateur Hockey
Association at the arena.

ation Director Joe Amundson

New work zone safety laws begin Friday

Motorists who speed
through a work zone will be
fined $300 beginning Friday,
Aug. 1, thanks to a new law
passed during the 2014 state
legislative session.
Many work zones are in
place across the state, and
many workers are in those
work zones improving our
states transportation sys-
tem, said Charlie Zelle,
Minnesota Department of
Transportation commission-
er. This law is important
because it provides added
protection in areas that can
be vulnerable to careless
drivers.
Motorists who do not obey
work zone flaggers traffic
directions also can be
charged a $300 fine.
Safety in the work zone
is one of our top priorities,
added Sue Groth, state traf-
fic engineer. We hope this
new increased fine will draw
the attention of motorists to
slow down when driving
past workers.
To bring additional atten-
tion to work zone safety, the
Towards Zero Deaths effort,
a multi-agency partnership
that uses education, enforce-
ment, engineering and
emergency trauma response
to promote safe and smart
driving behavior, launched a
statewide Orange Cones,
No Phones safety campaign
earlier this summer.
The Minnesota TZD part-
ners include the depart-
ments of Health,
Transportation and Public
Safety. Since its launch 10
years ago, the TZD effort has
helped decrease roadway
fatalities by nearly half,
from 655 in 2003 to 387 in
2013.
In addition to the new
work zone law, other 2014
legislation requires MnDOT
to study all two-lane high-
ways during the next five
years, and where appropri-
ate, consider raising the
speed limit from 55 mph to
60 mph.
We will only increase the
speed limit if it is deemed
safe and reasonable, said
Groth. Two-lane state high-
ways are already the most
dangerous roads in the
state, and we want to make
sure any decision we make
considers all factors that
affect safety.
A report of MnDOTs find-
ings and recommendations
is due to the Legislature
every January during the
five-year review period.
Speed limits that arent
established through the
Minnesota statute are set by
the MnDOT commissioner
based upon an engineering
and traffic investigation. For
more information about how
speed limits are set, visit
www. mndot . gov/ s peed/
index.html.
Commercial bait dealers checked
Natural Resource conserva-
tion officers continue moni-
toring watercraft for aquatic
invasive species. And, a com-
mercial bait dealer was cited
for several violations.
The purpose of the
Division of Enforcement
weekly report is to promote
the activities performed by
Division of Enforcement per-
sonnel in protecting
Minnesota's natural
resources through effective
law enforcement and educa-
tion.
District 1 - Baudette
area
Updated July 15, 2014
Conservation Officer Ben
Huener, Roseau, checked
angling activity and moni-
tored area all-terrain vehicle
and off-highway motorcycle
activity. An aquatic invasive
species check station was
worked in the Baudette
area. Assistance was provid-
ed at the Warroad Port of
Entry on an over limit viola-
tion. Huener assisted
Ontario conservation offi-
cers with follow-up on illegal
fishing activity.
Conservation Officer
Jeremy Woinarowicz, Thief
River Falls, attended a
meeting for field training
officers and monitored area
angling activity. A commer-
cial bait dealer was checked,
finding multiple violations
for no angling license, no
watercraft registration, no
bait dealer placard on vehi-
cle, and possession of a
small amount of marijuana.
Other violations for the
week included allowing ille-
gal operation of an all-ter-
rain vehicle by juvenile and
operating an unregistered
ATV.
Demosthenes Regas,
Blackduck, reports moni-
tored angling, boating activ-
ity and AIS compliance on
Upper Red Lake and special
regulation lakes throughout
the week. Time was spent
investigating reports of
leech trap thefts and moni-
toring commercial leech
trapping activity. Regas
patrolled area trails and for-
est roads for ATV, off-high-
way motorcycles and off-
road vehicle activity. An AIS
check station was worked in
Lake of the Woods County.
Three people
injured after
accident Saturday
Three people were
injured after their vehicle
struck a deer and rolled
Saturday night near Falls
Cinema in Thief River Falls.
Glenn V. Meyer, 73, Thief
River Falls; Susan K.
Meyer, 62, Thief River Falls;
and Leora E. Klava, 69,
Grand Forks, N.D., all suf-
fered non-life threatening
injuries, according to the
Minnesota State Patrol
report. They went to
Sanford Medical Center in
Thief River Falls. On
Monday afternoon, a nurs-
ing supervisor said that all
three were treated and
released.
At the time of the acci-
dent, Glenn Meyer was driv-
ing a 1998 Ford Explorer
northbound on Highway 59.
According to the report, a
deer exited the east ditch.
Meyer swerved. The vehicle
then hit the deer. Meyer
overcorrected, which led the
vehicle to travel off of the
highway and into the north-
bound ditch. The vehicle
then rolled and came to rest
on its roof. Both Meyers and
Klava were wearing their
seat belts. The vehicle was
totalled.
The State Patrol was dis-
patched to the scene at 9:22
p.m. Saturday. The

District 1 - Baudette
area
Updated July 22, 2014
Conservation Officer Ben
Huener, Roseau, checked
anglers on Lake of the
Woods, the Roseau River
and Hayes Lake. Walleyes
tend to be spread out on
Lake of the Woods, but are
generally in their mid-sum-
mer patterns. Fishing on the
Roseau River has been very
good as of late for pike and
catfish. Enforcement con-
tacts for the week included
angling with an extra line,
no license, operating all-ter-
rain vehicles on Bemis Hill
(closed area), and unregis-
tered ATVs.
Demosthenes Regas,
Blackduck, reports monitor-
ing angler and boating activ-
ity on area special regula-
tion lakes throughout the
week. Time was spent work-
ing with DNR Wildlife staff
on numerous reports of
injured bald eagles. Regas
saw a vehicle pulling a boat
and as it made a turn, a
large amount of water
spewed from the live well
over-flow. When the vehicle
stopped, Regas addressed
the water coming from the
boat with the driver of the
vehicle. It turned out the
live well was full of lake
water and contained his
walleye catch of the day. The
driver had just come from an
area lake and wanted to
keep his walleye alive until
returning home. The AIS
violation and transporting of
live fish were addressed.
CORRECTION
In last weeks edition, The
Times incorrectly reported
information regarding a
July 13 accident in the 300
block of Crocker Ave. N. The
report should have read that
Ryan Phillip Anderson 25,
Thief River Falls, was driv-
ing southbound in the 300
block of Crocker Ave. N. The
2005 Chevy Impala then
struck a parked 1998 Ford
Explorer owned by Dorothy
Lindsey of Thief River Falls.
His car then struck a parked
2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
owned by Rhonda F. Lindsey
of Thief River Falls. The
Times received inaccurate,
incomplete information
regarding the accident.

The Broken Chain
We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

The White House Boutique/Continued
(Continued from Page 1)
Four years ago, the for-
mer 4-Hers decided to start
The White House Boutique.
One could say decorating,
painting, collecting and
shopping are in their genes.
Their paternal grand-
mother, Donna Jorde, was
into home decorating. Sam
said her grandma changed
things in the house every
day. She also painted por-
traits with her granddaugh-
ters.
Their maternal grandfa-
ther, Harold Swanson, was a
fan of auction sales and an
avid collector of old cameras.
If they were both living,
theyd be really proud, Sam
said.
Katie, who studied interi-
or design, previously worked
at a shop in Detroit Lakes
and at flea markets. She and
her sister would exchange
crafts as gifts. Many times,
they liked the gifts that they
made for each other and the
ones they received. When
Sam was planning her wed-
ding on the Jorde farm, she
searched thrift stores for
decor. Thats when the two of
them had the idea to start a
store. We begged Dad to
take over one of his outbuild-
ings, Katie said.
Randy agreed. He painted
the inside of the outbuilding
white and erected a porch
with pillars onto the out-
building.
The sisters hoped and
prayed that people would be
willing to travel down three-
and-a-half miles of gravel
roads for their first sale. It
was a success. After the
first sale, you couldnt wipe
the smiles off of our faces.
Katie said.
Eventually, the sisters
collection of merchandise
expanded to Randys garage
and an extra quonset. He
then constructed another
building for his daughters.
Their merchandise still
spills into the garage and
quonset. Katie and Sam tell
themselves that their dad
secretly loves it. I dont
think he expected it to be so
crazy, said Sam, who added
Randy told them that he
supports their venture since
it brings their family togeth-
er.
The sisters fill the build-
ings with merchandise
obtained at thrift stores, at
rummage sales, in dump-
sters and along the berms
during city cleanup weeks.
Much of their merchandise
is collected in the Fargo-
Moorhead area. Cory bought
them an enclosed trailer to
store some of their merchan-
dise before transporting it to
Thief River Falls.
Sam is the admitted
cheapie. Katie said its
embarrassing when her sis-
ter barters on 50 cents with
a seller.
Sams cheapskate tenden-
cies were on display when
she paid for a hutch with
change. The man behind her
in line even offered to help
her pay for the hutch. Sam
said she had enough money.
Sam and Katie are known
for driving for hours, search-
ing berms for what others
perceive to be garbage and
what they perceive to be
beauties in the rough. They
look for vintage items.
We love anything with
rust, said Sam, who noted
theyre farm girls.
Katie chimed in that rust
adds a couple of dollars.
Sometimes, they dont
even have to drive. Months
ago, Sam closely monitored a
dumpster about a block
away from her Moorhead
home. A house was being
emptied of its contents. She
told Cory and Katie, who
were in town visiting her.
Without much effort, Cory
convinced her daughters to
check out the dumpster.
Wearing their pajamas, they
soon began looking into the
dumpster.
Mom started screaming,
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
Katie recalled.
Boxes of random items
were inside the dumpster.
Once they brought their
finds to Sams home, they
discovered rhinestone hat
pins. They again screamed
since the pins are collectible
and a rarity to find.
They also found many
rare pictures of the construc-
tion of the Cathedral of St.
Paul more than 100 years
ago. They emailed copies of
some of the photos to the
cathedral, which doesnt
have any of those photos in
its archives. The sisters plan
to give the photos to the
cathedral.
Cory and her daughters
also found many photos of
priests as well as numerous
possessions belonging to a
particular priest. The sisters
joked that they could write a
book about the priest since
they had 1,000 letters
belonging to him. Inside the
dumpster, they also found
clothing, tables, chairs and a
dress that fits Katie.

Little Brother/Little Sister revived/Continued
River Falls until the organi-
zation has raised $35,000.
That would normally be a
difficult challenge in the
summer because most of the
grant-funding opportunities
have ended. But Ballard
recently received some good
news. The organization is in
the pre-proposal phase of a
start-up grant from
Northwest Minnesota
Foundation. To receive a
$25,000 grant from the
organization, they need to
raise $12,500. With $7,000
already raised, she said,
they are so close.
The organization is also
approaching the yearly
fundraising challenge from a
different angle. She said
they are encouraging annual
sponsorships. Ballard said
she hopes that with annual
sponsorships, instead of
spending all their time on
fundraising, the organiza-
tions leaders and coordina-
tor will be able to do more of
the important and reward-
ing work of matching chil-
dren and mentors.
Ballard said the biggest
expense for the organization
is paying for a coordinator,
but added that the job is
very labor intensive. The
coordinator does have a big
job. Once the program
begins in ernest, it will
accept referrals from local
service agencies and par-
ents. The coordinator, who
has not been chosen yet, will
meet with the families to
learn about the needs and
interests of the child, and
also work with adult men-
tors. Adult mentor volun-
teers will go through a
screening and application
process that will include a
background check. Based on
the information gathered
from the youth and adult
mentors, the organizations
board will make pairings.
The coordinator will then
facilitate the first meeting of
the mentor and child.
The organization sees
great value in the program.
Connections made in pro-
grams like Little Brother
Little Sister can result in
lifelong friendships like they
did for Ballards uncle, but it
would also have other posi-
tive impacts. It could result
in positive growth for chil-
dren at risk, and a recent
Rand Report states that for
every $1 that is spent on
youth intervention, at least
$3 are saved in future
spending. According to the
report, the savings flow from
improved educational out-
comes and reductions in vio-
lence and crime.
Tobacco ordinance hearing set/Continued
or nicotine or lobelia deliv-
ery products.
The draft ordinance will
include training require-
ments, which are specified
under section five. Helen
Anderson, tobacco free coor-
dinator with Quin
Community Health,
explained to commissioners
that some employers were
not taking training. She
stressed that it would only
be employers that would be
required to attend training,
which can be completed in
an annual one-hour session.
Commissioners anticipate
some resistance to a training
requirement, but they chose
to leave it in the draft ver-
sion of the ordinance so that
it could be discussed during
the public hearing.
The County Board con-
curred with the suggestion
of Rogalla to remove subdivi-
sions two through five under
section 11, self service sales,
which govern illegal posses-
sion, illegal use, illegal pro-
curement and use of false
identification. Rogalla rea-
soned that all four are
already enforced by state
law.
Under section 13, penal-
ties, commissioners set the
administrative fines for
licensees who violate the
terms of the ordinance.
Those fines are: first time
offense remains $75, second
offense remains $200 but the
third offense will be
increased from $250 to $400.
The administrative fines
for individuals employed by
the licensee will remain $50
for the first offense, $100 for
the second offense and $150
for the third offense.
The ordinance will also
include the following under
section 13, subdivision two:
Other individuals employed
by the licensee found to be in
violation of this ordinance
shall be charged an adminis-
trative fine of $50 for the
first violation ...
Commissioners debated
whether to use shall or may
in this instance. It was
pointed out, however, by
Connie Hagen, RN with
Inter-County Nursing and
Quin Community Health,
that the use of shall is
required by state statute.
Commissioners also
removed section 13, subdivi-
sion three, which regulates
penalties for minors. By
removing subdivision three,
enforcement will be based on
Minnesota statute.
Fine amounts for anyone
found to be selling tobacco,
tobacco related devices, elec-
tronic delivery devices, or
nicotine or lobelia delivery
products will be subject to a
first time fine of $500 and
$1,000 for a second offense.

During the 2014 budget-
ing process, the Pennington
County Department of
Human Services was given
the task of reducing its out
of home placement budget
line items by $200,000.
During Tuesdays meeting,
Director Ken Yutrzenka
reported that progress has
been made at the halfway
point of 2014.
According to information
provided by Yutrzenka, cal-
endar year 2013 ended with
gross placement costs of
$1,079,242 and net costs of
$989,893 after receiving
available reimbursements
and recoveries.
As of June 30, the coun-
tys gross placement costs
stand at $470,298, with net
costs at $374,238. Also as of
June 30, net placement costs
are $155,217 less than they
were at the end of June
2013.
Yutrzenka said a few
strategies used to reduce the
net cost of out of home place-
ments are:
placement prevention
meetings, which are con-
ducted to identify precipitat-
ing factors that put children
at risk of out of home care
and allow the system to
explore effective alterna-
tives that may safely divert
children from placement;
weekly county attorney
meetings, which help prepa-
rations for upcoming court
hearings and allow for
review of re-unification and
permanency planning efforts
and timelines for children
and youth already in care;
utilization of the least
restrictive setting whenever
appropriate, while still
meeting the needs of the
child or adolescent;
use of electronic home
monitoring, intensive in-
home therapy, childrens
mobile crisis services and
wrap-around services.
Code Red shines,
shelter shortage noted
following storm
Severe weather hit
Pennington County on
Monday, July 21 and the
Code Red early warning sys-
tem did what it was intend-
ed to do as county residents
received notification of an
approaching severe thunder-
storm warning.
Sheriff Ray Kuznia told
commissioners that Code
Red was well worth it as a
program. Kuznia added that
a hazard mitigation plan has
revealed a shortage of
approved shelters within the
county. Other shelters
werent open when people
first arrived.
Other items
Dante Steele was hired
as a Sentence to Serve crew
leader. Steele has been with
Pennington County for 15
years and has previously
filled in as an STS crew
leader.
A motion to advertise
to fill the vacant jailer posi-
tion was approved.

Arctic Cat reports fiscal
2015 first quarter results
On Friday, July 25, Arctic
Cat Inc. reported net earn-
ings of $3.6 million, or $0.27
per diluted share, for the fis-
cal first quarter ended June
30, 2014, on record net sales
of $143.6 million. The com-
pany recorded a severance
charge in the 2015 first
quarter that reduced earn-
ings by $0.08 per diluted
share. Excluding this
charge, the companys first
quarter earnings totaled
$0.35 per diluted share, as
adjusted. In the prior-year
quarter, Arctic Cat had
record net earnings of $5.5
million, or $0.40 per diluted
share, on net sales of $120.8
million.
Chris Twomey, Arctic
Cats chairman and chief
executive officer, said, We
had record sales for a first
quarter, with strong contri-
butions from snowmobile
sales. We shipped a large
percentage of our lower-mar-
gin [Original Equipment
Manufacturer] partner mod-
els in the quarter. Sales of
ATVs and side-by-sides were
lower in the first quarter, as
planned, to reduce dealer
inventories ahead of our
ATV dealer show in
September.
Higher sales were not
enough to overcome the
unfavorable Canadian cur-
rency and the planned
increase in OEM sales in the
2015 first quarter, resulting
in lower profitability com-
pared to record earnings in
the year-ago period. Going
forward, we remain focused
on increasing sales this fis-
cal year by introducing inno-
vative new products, as well
as continuing to leverage the
companys operating effi-
ciency.
First-quarter
operating review
Arctic Cats fiscal 2015
first-quarter net sales rose
approximately 19 percent to
$143.6 million, chiefly due to
higher snowmobile sales to
its OEM partner, in addition
to increased sales from its
parts, garments and acces-
sories business.
Gross profit margin in the
2015 first quarter was 21.4
percent compared to 24.1
percent in the prior-year
quarter. The gross profit
margin decline of 270 basis
points stemmed primarily
from the unfavorable
Canadian currency
exchange, as approximately
30 percent of Arctic Cats
annual sales are to Canada.
Also impacting gross margin
in the quarter were lower-
margin OEM sales.
The company continued
to invest in research and
development to ensure a
strong pipeline of new prod-
ucts and technologies.
Operating expenses as a per-
cent of sales were 17.6 per-
cent compared to 17.1 per-
cent. General and adminis-
trative expense includes the
severance charge of $1.5 mil-
lion for Arctic Cats former
CEO, who left the company
on May 30, 2014. Operating
profit in the 2015 first quar-
ter was $5.6 million com-
pared to $8.5 million in the
same quarter last year.
Excluding the charge, Arctic
Cats operating profit was
$7.1 million, as adjusted.
Arctic Cat ended the 2015
first quarter with cash and
short-term investments
totaling $24.3 million, and
no long-term debt. During
the quarter, the company
repurchased approximately
27,000 shares of its stock at
a cost of approximately $1
million.
Business line results
ATVs/Side-by-Sides
Sales of Arctic Cats all-ter-
rain vehicles (ATVs) and
side-by-sides totaled $63.8
million, down 16 percent
compared to prior-year sales
of $76.3 million. The compa-
ny focused on lowering deal-
er inventory in advance of
its September dealer show,
where it plans to introduce
14 new models for the 2015
model year.
Retail sales of Arctic Cats
side-by-sides rose in the
2015 first quarter, primarily
driven by demand for the
new Wildcat Trail model,
which began shipping in late
fiscal 2014. With a narrower
stance, the 50-inch Wildcat
Trail allows riders access to
authorized ATV trails, mak-
ing it a versatile option for
consumers.
Snowmobiles
Snowmobile sales in the fis-
cal 2015 first quarter rose
149 percent to $56.2 million,
up from $22.6 million in the
prior-year quarter. The
increased snowmobile sales
in the quarter were largely
due to Arctic Cats expanded
OEM partnership. Following
strong retail sales and mar-
ket share gains in fiscal
2014, Arctic Cat anticipates
higher snowmobile sales to
its dealers in the current fis-
cal year.
Parts, garments and
accessories Sales of parts,
garments and accessories in
the fiscal 2015 first quarter
grew 8 percent to $23.7 mil-
lion versus $21.9 million in
the prior-year quarter. The
growth was driven by sales
of newly developed acces-
sories for the exciting new
Wildcat Trail model, as well
as core ATV accessories.
Fiscal 2015
full-year outlook
Twomey said, We contin-
ue to anticipate delivering
the highest sales in the his-
tory of Arctic Cat for fiscal
2015, driven by our strong
pipeline of innovative new
products and technologies.
However, as we have previ-
ously stated, our profitabili-
ty faces significant head-
winds this fiscal year.
For the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2015, Arctic Cat
continues to anticipate net
sales in the range of $775
million to $786 million. The
company estimates its full-
year fiscal 2015 earnings
will be in the range of $2.25
to $2.35 per diluted share,
including the executive sev-
erance charge of $0.08
recorded in the fiscal 2015
first quarter and the antici-
pated unfavorable Canadian
currency impact up to $0.79
per diluted share for the fis-
cal 2015 full year. Excluding
the severance charge, the
company anticipates that
fiscal 2015 earnings per
share will be in the range of
$2.33 to $2.43 per diluted
share.
Arctic Cats fiscal 2015
outlook includes the follow-
ing assumptions versus the
prior fiscal year: core ATV
North America industry
retail sales flat to up 2 per-
cent; side-by-side North
America industry retail
sales up 6 percent to 9 per-
cent; North America snow-
mobile industry retail sales
flat to up 3 percent; slightly
higher operating expense
levels as a percent of sales
primarily due to the
Canadian currency hedge
benefit received during last
fiscal year 2014; and
increasing cash flow from
operations. The company
expects gross margins to be
down 110 basis points,
chiefly due to Canadian cur-
rency and, to a lesser extent,
product mix and tooling
amortization.
We expect this to be a
challenging year, particular-
ly in the first half of fiscal
2015, Twomey said. Yet,
we are excited about the
underlying strength of our
business, product portfolio
and future growth prospects,
and we remain committed to
shareholder value creation.

pouch making, traditional
Anishinaabe teachings and
more. The camps main loca-

inexpensive, simple events
to hold at the arena. He
noted that Amundson may
be able to find $20,000 in his
department budget for such
events. At the same time,
Kruse noted that the city
may be lucky to break even
on events.
Amundson replied that
its a gamble to host events.
He said the city tried open-
ing REA during the
Pennington County Fair, but
no one went there. He said
hes looking into the possi-
bility of further food and
beverage opportunities at
the arena.
Council Members Glen
Kajewski and Don Sollom
also referred to the risk
associated with hosting
events at REA. Both noted
city leaders would need to
realize that risk when com-
mitting to host an event.
For his part, Council
Member Jerald Brown said
the council may as well lock
REA if the city werent going
to use the building in the
summer.
It is expected that more
discussions will ensue
regarding hosting additional
events at REA.
The committee
approved the installation
of three picnic tables and
a portable toilet at
Finsbury Park. Located in
Kajewskis ward, the 12.4-
acre park is at the end of
Robinhood Drive and near
the Red Lake River.
Kajewski had initially
broached the idea to
Amundson. He hoped that
people would eventually be
able to kayak and canoe to
and from the park.
Amundson said he is look-
ing into purchasing kayak
launchers.

Langevin and Baird
plan Aug. 9 wedding
Dale and Jenny Langevin
of Thief River Falls are
happy to announce the
engagement of their daugh-
ter Ashley Laura to Aaron
Craig Baird, the son of
Ronald and Nancy Baird of
Red Lake Falls. An Aug. 9
2014 wedding date has been
set.
Ashley is a 2010 Bemidji
State University graduate
with a degree in marketing
communications and is cur-
rently employed at the
University of Minnesota
Crookston.
Aaron is a 2008 graduate
of Northland Community
and Technical College, with
a degree in auto body and is
currently employed at
Thibert's Chevrolet and
Buick in Red Lake Falls.
The couple will reside in
Red Lake Falls.
Residents of Thief River
Falls will see crews working
on the Highway 59 crossing
of the Red Lake River begin-
ning Monday, Aug. 4, accord-
ing to the Minnesota
Department of
Transportation. They will be
installing scour protection
measures around the piers
of the bridge to prevent ero-
sion.
Motorists are not expect-
ed to be impacted by the
work, but Boy Scout Park
and the public water access
northeast of the bridge will
be closed to the public. The
Red Lake River will remain
open for recreational uses,
but boaters are advised to be
aware of construction equip-
ment and use caution near
the work site.
When work is completed
in mid-October, the
Highway 59 bridge will have
improved scour protection,
which will increase the
longevity and safety of the
Highway 59 bridge.
Engineering and
Construction Innovations of
Oakdale is the prime con-
tractor on the project. For

tion, visit www.511mn.org.

who are in need of a blood
transfusion still depend on a
volunteer to take the time to
give blood.
Every two to three sec-
onds, someone in this coun-

apointment. Call United

To save time, donors can
fill out their health history
questionnaire online at

ACTIVITIES
Rainbow Bubbles
Fill a container with a
quart of warm water, then
add about 8 Tbsp. of dish-
washing soap. (The more
expensive brands seem to
make the best bubbles.) You
may add 6 to 8 Tbsp. of glyc-
erine to make stronger bub-
bles. Divide the soapy water
into four containers and
add a different food coloring
to each container. Let your
child blow bubbles onto a
piece of white paper. With
the use of all colors, he or
she will create a beautiful
picture.
SCAVENGER HUNT
For next weeks Activities
feature, you will need food

PARENTING TIPS
Bad Language
Young children learn lan-
guage by listening and imi-
tating others. Initially, they
do not know which words
are good and which ones
are bad. So they will
repeat all that they hear
and learn by their parents
reaction which ones they
should repeat and which
ones they shouldnt.
It is probably impossible
to prevent your child from
ever hearing or learning
bad or impolite words.
When they do say them,
they usually get lots of
attention that will reinforce
their use of this language.
But dont get discouraged.
Just because your child
heard or possibly experi-
mented with some bad or
impolite words, it doesnt
mean he or she will contin-
ue to use them.
Research tells us that
there two reasons why chil-
dren do not continue to
repeat the impolite words
that they know. The first is
because they have been told
not to use them and the sec-
ond is because they do not
hear the words regularly
used by their parents.
So once again we see that
parents are a childs most
important influence. In
other words, we parents
need to be good models and
good examples for our chil-
dren.
It is easy to use bad or
impolite language when we
feel discouraged or frustrat-
ed, but there are some good
reasons to avoid this.
Insulting words make peo-
ple feel bad, and the use of
unflattering words reflect a
lack of high standards and
values.
SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT
When your child uses
words you do not approve
of, matter-of-factly tell
him/her they are words that
you do not use in your fam-
ily. Try not to make a big
deal of it and then go on to
something else.

TIMES FOR TODDLERS
Speaking of surely it isnt a sign of old age
Heres a joke I read
recently. I am definitely get-
ting forgetful now myself
and can relate to it per-
haps too well:
Three little old ladies are
sitting in a restaurant, chat-
ting about various and
sundry things.
One lady says, You know,
Im getting really forgetful.
This morning, I was stand-
ing at the top of the stairs
and I couldnt remember
whether I had just come up
or was about to go down.
The second lady says,
You think thats bad? The
other day I was sitting on
the edge of the bed and
couldnt remember whether
I was going to bed or was
just getting up!
The third lady smiled
smugly, Well, my memorys
just as good as it has always
been, knock on wood, and
she rapped sharply on the
table.
With a startled expres-
sion, she asked, Whos
there?
Ill admit, the joke is
funny, but first of all I do
resent the sexism in it. Why
are they talking about just
little old ladies? Why not lit-
tle old men? Im sure little
old men are just as forgetful
as little old ladies, if not
more so. We little old ladies
have so much on our minds,
like our knitting and our
recipes and our housekeep-
ing and where did we park
our cars. What do little old
men have to forget besides
where they put the hammer
or the morning paper or
where they left their glasses
and where the rocking chair
is?
And anyway, everybody
knows that the little old
ladies know everything. So,
who is it that the little old
men ask when they cant
find something? Yes, of
course, the little old ladies.
And do the ladies ever say
they dont have a clue as to
where to find anything the
old fellows lost? No, they
dont. They can always tell
the guys exactly where to
find whatever it is that they
lost.
Ill admit, Ive noticed
that it does seem as if my
memory is getting a little
rusty the older I get, but it
isnt fair to call it getting for-
getful in my old age. I prefer
to blame an occasional mem-
ory lapse on being so busy
and trying to think of too
many things at one time.
That sounds right, doesnt
it?
Like the other night, I
hopped into bed and was try-
ing to compose myself for
sleep. Of course, as always,
my mind was still going lick-
ity-split, thinking of what I
had done during that day
and what I had to do the
next day and all of that
important stuff.
Suddenly I thought of
cooked ham!
Yes, well, it was very sim-
ple, actually. That day,
cooked ham was on sale at
the grocery store, and I had
bought a lot of it and then
divided it into small pack-
ages for freezing. But that
night, try as I might, I could-
nt remember if I put it in
the freezer or not. I know I
was thinking rather deeply
about something else while I
did the meat packing chore,
and I began to think maybe I
hadnt popped the packages
into the freezer at all. It
wouldnt be bad if I had put
them into the refrigerator,
but what if I had put them
into the cupboard? They
would be spoiled! They
would be wasted!
It wouldnt be the first
time something like that
happened in my house.
When I had a houseful of
children, things were always
being found in strange
places. Many is the time I
found a (very sour) half car-
ton of milk on a pantry shelf,
or several slices of bread
uncovered on the cutting
board, or a bowl of melted ice
cream on the table, or the
sugar bowl in the fridge or
the chocolate powder in the
freezer. Somehow things like
that just happened around
my house. I cant imagine
who was doing it! Perhaps I
had a mischievous elf in my
kitchen.
Come to think of it, even
now things in my house
grow legs and walk away. I
know I put the whatever in
a certain spot and, sure
enough, when I go to get it, it
has disappeared. After much
searching, I sometimes find
it in another spot.
Sometimes I find it weeks
later. Sometimes I dont find
it at all. Maybe I will some
day.
The thing is, I can no
longer blame the missing or
misplaced items on my chil-
dren. They are all grown up
and have homes of their own
(where I am sure they are
finding the same phenome-
non of misplaced objects as I
had in my house).
However, now I have a
house overflowing with stuff
from those five children as
well as myself. Most of them
have been on their own long
enough that they have taken
whatever was theirs (some
of what was mine, too).
Thats OK. I rarely notice
whatever is missing anyway.
There is still a lot of stuff
remaining. The trouble is, I
cant bear to get rid of it. I
know I will surely need it
some day. However, when I
need it, I cant find it. I know
I have it, but I just cant find
it. I am always looking for
something that I know I
have, that I have seen
recently, and I need right
now but where is it? Of
course, I can blame the chil-
dren for taking it, but they
pretty much have purchased
their own stuff, which is
much nicer than what I have
or had.
However, none of this
means I am getting forgetful
in my old age. It is simply a
case of being so busy and
having ones mind so occu-
pied with all sorts of impor-
tant things that some of the
teensy little things have a
way of slipping through
without making much of an
impression. Why bother
with the little things any-
way? Right?
A pause during a busy summer
Thank goodness for sum-
mertime pause. When I push
pause, I see you. I see you in
your word made flesh still
dwelling among us. I see
lives interlaced, weaving
patterns of intricate designs.
You allow pause ... so I may
see.
Seeing brings shadows
into the light and lighted
pathways into focus. You are
amazing ... truly amazing.
Your names fall freely upon
us.
Father/Name above all
Names/ Beautiful Savior/
Glorious Lord/Immanuel/
God is with us/
Abba Father/King of
Kings/ Lord of Lords/God the
Father/God the Son/God the
Holy Spirit/ Jehovah/
Yahweh/Blessed Redeemer/
Lamb of God/Sight Giver to
the Blind...
It's hard sometimes to
take pause. Feet move
quickly, hands begin doing,
and all the while you simply
desire pause. Even as I am
still, mental lists are made
for that which must be
accomplished this day ... yet
... you simply want pause.
And so I do.
As my mind gears up, I
wait upon you. Eyes dart
round room, warming coffee
in the microwave waits, e-
mail responses ... wait.
Phone calls to make ... wait.
I listen. At least I try, and as
I turn to your word, it calms
inner turmoil while direct-
ing footsteps. I continue to
pause.
Reading the devotional
that lies open before me
brings clarity. A finger tap
opens the Bible app upon
electronic device. I read
along with millions of others
who have pushed pause for
the day. It says:
"If you declare with your
mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and
believe in your heart that
God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. For
it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified, and
it is with your mouth that
you profess your faith and
are saved" (Rom. 10:9-10).
The fruit will be his ... the
obedience ... mine ... and so I
pause.
Next, I open "Daily Light"
for one final word bath
before rising from pause
position ... and the words
leap from the pages. I am
awestruck.
"Out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaks
for we cannot but speak the
things we have seen and
heard" (Matthew 12:34). It,
too, quotes from Romans
10:10. "With the heart one
believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confes-
sion is made unto salvation."
As I pause, I see. I see
that you alone are God. Your
words illuminate.
And tomorrow ... help me
take pause. Amen.

Summer reading program will close
with the Heebie Jeebies program
August is near, which
means summer activities are
coming to an end. With that
gloomy prospect in mind, the
library is having an exciting
event to counteract the sad-
ness of losing summer. Mark
your calendars for
Wednesday, Aug. 6, at 11
a.m., at the Floyd B. Olson
Park gazebo, for the wrap-
up to the Summer Reading
Program. This years closing
program is highlighted by
Heebie Jeebies, a fun
comedic western show.
Heebie Jeebies hilarious
songs and marvelous musi-
cianship are sure to make
you laugh, warm your heart,
and make you feel like part
of the show. Bring lawn
chairs or blankets, and be
prepared to listen, laugh,
sing, shout, and dance! In
case of bad weather, the clos-
ing will be held at the
library.
For those children
enrolled in the Summer
Reading Program, the last
day to pick up prizes is
Wednesday, Aug. 20. For
those enrolled since June 30
and who have completed the
Summer Reading Programs
Record Log, there will be a
grand prize of a free movie
ticket to Falls Cinema.
A last craft event will be
held this Wednesday, July
30, at 2 p.m., at the library
where children ages 7-14
can make origami animals.
Participants can enjoy free
popcorn while they learn
how to fold paper into a vari-
ety of animals. The last teen
book club summer read is
Wonder by R.J. Palacio.
There will be a discussion of
that book on Aug. 27 at 2
p.m. You may request copies
of the book at the library.
One hundred years ago,
as the town and county
awaited the new Carnegie
Library, citizens were kept
busy. A major event at that
time was the construction of
the first store building in
Goodridge. For those who
couldnt get to Goodridge to
shop, there was a band con-
cert, the first meeting of the
newly organized Order of
Owls, and a talk given by
Professor J.H. Hay of Thief
River Falls to the Old
Settlers of Marshall and
Kittson counties. The latter
was definitely a popular
event because over 2,500
people attended!
The library book selection
of the week is Wish List by
Grgoire Delacourt.

THEOLOGY IN
THE TRENCHES
State IT reforms have saved
Minnesota taxpayers $27.4 million
Minnesota Gov. Mark
Dayton and MN.IT Services
Commissioner Carolyn
Parnell announced that the
overhaul of Minnesotas
information technology
administration and services
has saved state taxpayers
over $27.4 million to date.
MN.IT Services expects to
save at least another $7 mil-
lion under these new
reforms by the end of this
year.
The IT overhaul, which
Dayton signed into law with
bipartisan support in 2011,
has reduced administrative
waste, consolidated state
contracts, reformed adminis-
trative processes, and imple-
mented new accountability
measures to produce signifi-
cant savings. The governor
praised the states IT work-
force for these cost saving
reforms.
MN.IT's innovative work
has produced significant
savings for Minnesota tax-
payers, said Dayton. Their
reforms are also delivering
faster and more efficient
services to our citizens. I
thank Commissioner Parnell
for her strong leadership
and MN.IT Services' hard-
working employees for their
accomplishments."
In 2011, Dayton signed
bipartisan legislation to con-
solidate the states informa-
tion technology systems,
employees, and administra-
tion. As part of that consoli-
dation effort, MN.IT estab-
lished a statewide project
management office to ensure
greater accountability for
the states major technology
investments and contracts.
In addition to increasing
transparency, the reforms at
MN.IT also are saving tax-
payer dollars. The agency is
now negotiating contracts on
behalf of all state agencies
saving Minnesota more than
$15 million on software and
licensing contracts since
2012. These contract consol-
idation efforts are expected
to save at least an additional
$7 million by the end of
2014.
Delivering efficient and
cost effective services was an
important value proposition
of IT consolidation, said
Parnell, who is also the
states chief information offi-
cer. Our early success
comes primarily from the
opportunity to leverage
group purchasing and nego-
tiate enterprise contracts to
avoid the cost of smaller,
individual purchasing
agency-by-agency. There are
still more areas where we
can realize savings and we
intend to maximize those
opportunities.
The consolidation of IT
resources also is improving
collaboration between state
agencies on complex IT proj-
ects. When state agencies
collaborate more effectively,
major state information
technology projects are
being completed more quick-
ly and at a lower price.
During the last several
years, MN.IT has been com-
pleting other projects that
enhance data security, save
money, increase efficiency,
and ultimately provide bet-
ter services to Minnesotans.
Some of those projects have
included:
Data Center
Consolidation The State
recently de-commissioned
one of its largest data cen-
ters as part of a strategy to
reduce the States overall
data center footprint
through consolidation and
server virtualization. So far,
MN.IT has reduced by over
60 percent the number of
physical servers managed by
the State.
Going Mobile MN.IT is
helping state agencies go
mobile through projects such
as the MN Report Card, a
mobile device-friendly plat-
form for disseminating
school performance data to
students, parents and teach-
ers.
Online, Streamlined
Permitting MPARS, the
Department of Natural
Resources new online per-
mitting and reporting sys-
tem, provides an online
application, approval, and
tracking capability for sever-
al types of water-related
environmental permits.
Developed to streamline the
application process, the sys-
tem allows for application
tracking and the collection of
monitoring information and
permit fees online. On aver-
age, permits are issued or
denied a month faster than
under the manually-inten-
sive, former way of doing
business.

traveling throughout many
parts of the United States

Q: I turn 65 on March 7,
2015. To maximize my
retirement amount and not
start early, should I start
benefits for March or April?
A: Since you are just age
65 in 2015, starting SSA
retirement in either March
or April is early and will be a
reduced benefit. Once at
least age 62, you can start
SSA retirement any month
that is best for you. Any
reduction or increase
depends on the number of
months that you are before
or past your full retirement
age (FRA).
Including FRA charts with
monthly percentages, infor-
mation and calculators are
at the SSA Retirement
Planner at www.socialsecu-
rity.gov/retire2/. Use the
Retirement Estimator to
obtain your approximate
based on your own work
record.
Using the retirement age
chart at www.socialsecuri-
ty. gov/ reti re2/ agereduc-
tion.htm, full retirement age
is 66 for people born
between1943-1954. For
them, starting SSA retire-
ment before age 66 means a
reduced amount, with differ-
ent reductions for each
month. These reductions
are permanent but cost of
living adjustments are
received.
For example, use a birth-
date of March 7, 1950, and
an FRA amount of $1,500.
Starting SSA retirement
effective March 2016 at age
66 provides an unreduced
$1,500 monthly amount.
Based on this, here are
results of several 2015
retirement months.
Depending on expected
2015 earnings and as yet
unknown 2015 SSA earn-
ings limits, this person
might start retirement with
January, 2015. That is 14
months early, providing a
monthly benefit reduced to
about 92.2 percent of the
FRA amount, or about
$1,383.
Benefits started effective
March 2015, are 12 months
early. Starting then results
in a monthly retirement
about 93.3 percent of the
FRA, equal to about $1,399
per month, while benefits
started with April are 11
months early and reduced to
about 93.9 percent or
$1,408. Start benefits when
best for you, either before, at
or after FRA.

A Red Lake Falls man has
been charged after he
allegedly assaulted a Red
Lake County Sheriff s Office
employee during the
Summerfest street dance the
early morning hours of
Sunday, July 27. Red Lake
County deputies had to use
a Taser to gain control of
William Everett Isham, 28.
Sheriff Mitch Bernstein
said Isham has been
charged with felony terroris-
tic threats, fourth degree
assault, providing a peace
officer a false name and date
of birth, and disorderly con-
duct. Isham was also appre-
hended on a Minnesota
Department of Corrections
warrant for a prior felony
third degree assault charge.
He made his initial court
appearance for the latest
charges Monday, July 28.
The charges stemmed
from a report that Isham
was extremely intoxicated
and causing a disturbance at
the street dance. When
deputies approached Isham,
he allegedly gave a false
name and date of birth.
While they were attempting
to arrest him, he assaulted a
sheriff s office employee
working with the deputies.
The employee wasnt seri-
ously injured and didnt seek
medical attention. Once
Isham was positively identi-
fied, deputies learned about
the warrant.

FSA County Committee
nomination period ends Aug. 1
Farm Service Agency Office
reminds producers that the
nomination period ends on
Aug. 1.
In Pennington County,
the 2014 FSA County
Committee election will be
held in Local Administrative
Area 1, which includes the
following townships: Black
River, Bray, Norden, North,
Numedal, Polk Center, and
Sanders. Tom Wold current-
ly represents LAA 1 and has
served nine years on the
County Committee and is
ineligible to serve again due
to the three-year term limit.
In addition to Wold, the
other current County

members are important
because they assist local
farmers by applying their
judgment, experience, and
knowledge when making
local decisions in delivering
Federal programs.
While FSA County
Committees do not approve
or deny farm ownership or
operating loans, they make
decisions on disaster and
conservation programs,
emergency programs, com-
modity price support loan
programs and other agricul-
tural issues.
members serve three-year
terms. Nationwide, there are
about 7,800 farmers and
ranchers serving on FSA
County Committees. FSA
County Committees consist
of three to 11 members that
are elected by eligible pro-
ducers.
The Pennington FSA
County Committee currently
consists of three elected
members and one appointed
advisor.
The FSA County
Committee election process
is designed to give all pro-
ducers a better chance of
having their opinions and
ideas expressed in the com-
munity, throughout FSA and
the nation. Therefore, it is
vital that we have a diverse
committee, not only in the
physical make up of the com-
mittee, but making sure all
forms of agriculture are rep-
resented.
FSA is committed to
increasing the participation
of all farmers on the FSA
County Committees, with an
emphasis on women and
minority farmers. Beginning
farmers are also highly
encouraged to become
involved.
To be eligible to serve on
an FSA County Committee,
a person must: be of legal
voting age and eligible to
vote in a FSA County
Committee election, live in
the LAA holding an election,
and participate or cooperate
in a program administered
by FSA.
Individuals may nomi-
nate themselves or others as
candidates. Additionally,
organizations representing
minorities and women may
nominate candidates. To
become a nominee, all eligi-
ble individuals must sign
form FSA-669A, which
includes a statement that
the nominee agrees to serve
if elected. Form FSA-669A
and other valuable informa-
tion about the FSA County
Committee election process
are available at local FSA
County Offices and online at
www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
All nomination forms for
the 2014 FSA County
Committee election must be
postmarked or received in
the applicable FSA County
Office by close of business on
Aug. 1.
Following the nomination
process, FSA will mail bal-
lots to producers beginning
Nov. 3. The completed bal-
lots are due back to the local
FSA County Office via mail
or in person by Dec. 1. Newly
elected FSA County
Committee members and
alternates take office Jan. 1,
2015.
Producers with questions
on the FSA County
Committee nomination/elec-
tion process should contact
their local FSA County
Office, the Pennington
County FSA Office at (218)
681-1612 ext. 2, or visit the
FSA website at

Bayport man civilly committed
to Sex Offender Program
A Bayport man, who for-
merly lived in Thief River
Falls, was civilly committed
as a sexually dangerous per-
son Monday, July 21 in
Pennington County District
Court.
Mark Douglas Crone-
miller, 36,
agreed to
the stipula-
tion in
which he
would be
commi t t ed
as a sexually
danger ous
person for
an indeter-
minate amount of time.
Court documents indicated
that he was committed to
the Minnesota Sex Offender
Program at Moose Lake and
St. Peter. As part of the stip-
ulation, a request to civilly
commit him as a sexually
psychopathic personality
was dismissed without prej-
udice.
Judge Tamara Yon found
that it was highly likely
Cronemiller would engage
in further harmful sexual
conduct. She found that he
needed treatment at Moose
Lake and St. Peter.
Eighteen exhibits were
filed as part of the case.
Among the exhibits were
four exhibits from law
enforcement agencies and
one from the Minnesota
Department of Corrections.
Two court-appointed exam-
iners also met with
Cronemiller. Their reports
were among the exhibits.
Online court documents
indicated that Cronemiller
pled guilty to third degree
criminal sexual conduct in
Beltrami County in 1997.
He received a 15-year stay
of imposition and was
ordered to serve 120 days in
jail as a condition of that
sentence. However, in 1998,
the stay of imposition was
vacated and a sentence of 18
months in prison was exe-
cuted.
In 2010, Cronemiller pled
guilty to a charge of third
degree criminal sexual con-
duct in Pennington County,
According to the criminal
complaint, a mother report-
ed that a 13-year-old girl
had sex with him.
Cronemiller was sentenced
to 60 months in prison for
that charge.
Prior to Cronemillers
release from prison in 2013,
Pennington County Human
Services Director Ken
Yutrzenka filed the request
to civilly commit him as a
sexually dangerous person.
After being released from
the Minnesota Correctional
Facility in Stillwater, he was
held in Moose Lake until the
court decided whether he
should be civilly committed
or released.
Home Buyer
Workshop to be held
Buying a home is one of
the most important deci-
sions that a person makes as
a potential owner.
In order to prepare home
buyers for this important
step, the University of
Minnesota Extension and
Minnesota Housing
Financing Agency will offer
the next Home Stretch
Home Buyer Workshop on
Tuesdays, Aug. 5, 12 and 19.
The workshops will be held
from 7 to 10 p.m. in the
Pennington County
Courthouse meeting room in
Thief River Falls.
The three-session work-
shop is designed for the
first-time home buyers of
low to moderate income; for
homeowners ready to
finance a contract for deed;
or for people interested in
exploring the possibilities of
home ownership.
Participants will gain a
thorough understanding of
the home buying process.
They will find out: how
much home they can afford,
what lenders look for in a
buyer, how to eliminate the
barriers to home ownership,
and what kinds of mortgage
assistance programs are
available. Various speakers
from agencies or companies
that work with home buyers
will present the material
and answer questions.
A certificate of completion
will be provided to all partic-
ipants who attend all three
workshop sessions. Many
lending programs now
require completion of this
type of home buying work-
shop to be eligible for their
mortgage products. The best
time to take the class is six
to 12 months before buying a
home, and the certificate is
valid for several years. This
is the last class offered this
year.
Call the Pennington
County Extension Office at
683-7030 to receive a regis-
tration brochure with more
information. The registra-
tion deadline for the August
classes is Friday, Aug. 1.
This is the final Home
Stretch workshop for the
year.

Tucked next to the Huck Olson Memorial
Civic Center Wednesday, July 16 was the
Northland Community Band. The band per-
formed a long set after the parade and
before the fireworks show on Wednesday
night, the first night of the 2014 Pennington
County Fair.
The bright lights of the Todd Armstrong
Shows on the 2014 Pennington County Fair
midway lit up the night skies and attracted
thousands of area residents to Thief River
Falls.
Timmy Vaughan, Tonganoxie, Kan., had
the honor of being the first bullrider of
the night during the Friday, July 18 ses-
sion of Thunder on Hooves. Vaughan
rode Longmire for all eight seconds but
was given a no-ride because his right
hand made contact with the bull.
Donnie Landis, barrelman for the Thunder
on Hooves PBR bullride in Thief River Falls
Saturday night, kept the crowd entertained
with his antics.
Clear night skies provided riders of this
Todd Armstrong Shows ride a great view of
the 2014 Pennington County Fair and sur-
rounding community.
Spectacular fireworks lit up the skies over
the 2014 Pennington County Fair on

Reese Hernandez, Thief
River Falls, survived a 13-
minute war with Ronnie
Britt, Waukee, Iowa, to claim
victory in front of a sold out
Seven Clans Casino crowd
Saturday, July 26.
The nine-fight card, which
concluded with Hernandez
vs. Britt, marked the return
of mixed martial arts to
Seven Clans Casino after an
eight-year absence.
Hernandez vs. Britt was
the nights main event and
the fight lived up to its
billing. Britt came close to
choking out Hernandez in
the second of three scheduled
five-minute rounds, while
Hernandez was in control for
the final minute of each of
the first two periods.
Hernandez took control of
the fight for good in the third
period and won by technical
knockout. The back and
fourth fight drew a standing
ovation for both fighters and
it earned fight of the night
honors.
It went about how I
thought, Hernandez said.
He put me in bad situations
and landed some good
punches. He was tough and
smart.
In the ring, he is legit. He
was game, as am I, for the
fight. Been training and
fighting for a very long time
and has seen it all.
Outside the ring, the guy
is great. I would say the fact
he's almost 50 years old and
driving eight hours north
and putting on fight of the
night says a lot about his
true character.
Also competing with ties
to northwest Minnesota were
Anthony Caputo of Crook-
ston and Johns Loeken of Be-
midji.
Caputo, who trains in
Fargo, N.D., and attends
North Dakota State Univer-
sity, used his wrestling back-
ground to take control of his
fight against Raul Rodriguez.
Caputo was victorious by
TKO in round two to improve
to 4-0 in his career.
Loeken, who trains with
the Thief River Falls-based
Stomp Factory, won by split
decision over Adrian Harris.
Loeken improved to 2-1 in
his career with the victory.
The knockout of the night
came in the Driller Promo-
tions light heavyweight title
match, with Ben Strandlien
improving to 8-0 with a first
round KO over Ben Ander-
son.
Other winners were Carl
Deaton over Adam Schu-
macher in the co-main event;
John Castaneda over Ruddy
Gray; Richard Rodriguez
over Michael Jokondo in a
battle of unbeatens; Jesse
Rogge over Ash Majek; and
Dustin Murphy over Collin
Connery.

Its a tough road to travel
when you lose your first start
in an eight-team, double-
elimination playoff format.
And the task becomes even
more formidable when the
first team you run into in the
loser-out bracket is the tour-
naments No. 1 seed.
That was the challenge
facing Thief River Falls Post
117 Friday in the 2014 Min-
nesota American Legion Di-
vision I Sub-State 14
baseball tournament at
Tuffys Stadium in Perham.
The Bandits, after being
shutout by defending cham-
pion Alexandria 5-0 in first
round play Thursday after-
noon, ran into top-seeded
Moorhead Friday morning.
The Blues had been upset by
No. 8 seed Detroit Lakes 2-1
the previous day, but they re-
bounded with an 11-2 win
over No. 5 seed Thief River
Falls.
Thursday, Thief River
Falls Nick Hoffard, who
played baseball this spring at
Northland Community and
Technical College, locked up
in a pitchers duel with
Alexandrias Dylan Stockert,
a North Dakota State Uni-
versity recruit. It was a
scoreless draw through seven
innings before a two-out, fly
ball dropped in for a two-run
base hit in the eighth.
Nick pitched an unbeliev-
able game, said Thief River
Falls coach Corey Poole. We
played well. Their pitcher is
going to NDSU and their
catcher is headed to
Creighton. It was fun for the
kids to play in a game with a
battery like that. They will
remember that.
Zach Schroeder and Drew
Anderson both homered and
combined for seven RBI as
the Blues grabbed a 3-0 first
inning lead, doubled the
spread to 6-0 in the third and
had an 8-1 lead after five in-
nings.
We came out a little flat
and Moorhead got on us right
away, explained Poole.
It was an 11-16 finish for
the Bandits, whose regular
season schedule ended the
week before with an appear-
ance at the Detroit Lakes
Water Carnival Invitational,
where they beat Hibbing 6-2,
but lost to Perham 12-5 and
Moorhead 5-0.
We had a tough draw, ac-
knowledged Poole after the
sub-state setbacks. But the
kids played well. We had a
good year. We played a lot of
quality teams.
Fourth-seeded Alexandria
earned its second straight
tournament title with a 19-3
win over Moorhead in Sun-
days finals.
Eagan will be the host for
the 89th annual Minnesota
state tournament July 31-
Aug. 4. Games will also be
played in Bloomington and
Burnsville. Its a 16 team,
double-elimination tourna-
ment that features 15 sub-
state winners, plus the host
team.
The two Minnesota state
tournament finalists will ad-
vance to the Central Plains
Region 6 playoffs Aug. 7-11 at
Jack Williams Stadium in
Fargo, N.D., where the win-
ner will head to the Ameri-
can Legion World Series Aug.

Q: If I purchase a hunt-
ing or fishing license on the
DNR website, do I need to
keep a printed copy with me
out in the field?
A: If youre using a home
computer, you can print
most licenses and need to
keep a copy with you when
participating in the activity.
In cases where the license
has a tag, the license will be
mailed to you, and you must
have the license in posses-
sion. Licenses purchased on
a mobile device are issued in
electronic format, and you
can choose to receive an
email and/or text message
that serves as your license.
In that case, you must carry
your mobile device or a
printed copy of this email or
text message.

Lt. gov. candidate visits Thief River Falls
by David Hill
Editor
Dean Simpson,
Republican lieutenant gov-
ernor candidate running
with candidate for governor
Kurt Zellers, stopped in
Thief River Falls on
Tuesday, July 22.
Simpson and his family
have owned and operated
grocery stores in New York
Mills and Perham for 42
years. Beyond his success in
business, Simpson has a dis-
tinguished record of public
s e r vi c e .
He serv-
ed on the
C i t y
Co unc i l
and as
mayor of
New York
Mills for
25 years.
In 2002,
he was
elected to
the Minnesota House of
Representatives.
Simpson and Zellers
served in the State
Legislature the same time.
Zellers served as House
speaker.
Simpson said their cam-
paign is about creating equal
opportunities for every
Minnesotan. He said he
wants to see job growth con-
tinue throughout Minnesota.
Many rural areas of
Minnesota are not experi-
encing the same job growth
and opportunities.
Simpson said the Perham
area, like Thief River Falls,
is experiencing problems
with meeting the needs of
rapidly increasing job
growth. Areas like Thief
River Falls and Perham
need solutions to help them
meet increasing demands for
housing and infrastructure.
He said he is also concerned
about the needs of employ-
ers. He explained that
Minnesota used to have
schools that provided techni-
cal skills. In recent years,
the emphasis changed to
obtaining four-year degrees
from a liberal arts school.
The truth is, employers now
need employees who have
technical skills, like welding
and training in robotics. A
greater emphasis needs to
be placed on training future
employees for the needs of
employers.
Simpson is still in the gro-
cery business. He has been
very involved in the commu-
nity, serving 20 years as a
fireman and as an active
member of both the Lions
Club in New York Mills and
the Rotary Club in Perham.
He has also served as presi-
dent of the New York Mills
Civic and Commerce
Association and is a board
member of the Perham
Chamber of Commerce.
Simpson and his wife
Kathy, a nurse practioneer,
have four adult children and
six grandchildren.
Zellers and Simpson will
be on the Aug. 12 primary
ballot. The primary will give
voters a chance to decide
which candidates will repre-
sent their political party in
the November general elec-
tion.

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.
Sen. Al Franken (D-
Minn.) filed comments with
the Federal Communi-
cations Commission on the
critical need to keep access
to the Internet equal for con-
sumers in Minnesota and
across the country.
The FCCs proposal for
new net neutrality rules, he
said, would tilt the
Internets level-playing field
by letting deep-pocketed cor-
porations deliver their con-
tent on an Internet fast
lane.
With the FCCs period for
public comments closing at
the end of the week,
Franken told Chairman Tom
Wheeler and the FCC com-
missioners that net neutral-
ity is a fundamental part of
the Internets basic architec-
ture, and it must be pre-
served.
Because of net neutrali-
ty, the Internet has become
an open marketplace for
ideas and commerce - a mar-
ketplace in which everyone
can participate on equal
footing, regardless of ones
wealth or power, Franken
said in his public comments
to the FCC. Later, he added,
I urge the FCC to adopt
strong net neutrality rules
that protect consumers and
preserve the open nature of
the Internet.
Also Franken joined a
group of 13 senators, led by
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.),
in calling for the FCC to
reclassify broadband
Internet as a public utility,
which would preserve net
neutrality and disallow pay-
to-play agreements that
Minnesota small businesses
cant afford.
Franken has long been
one of Congress most vocal
proponents of net neutrality.
Last month, he helped intro-
duce a landmark piece of
legislation - called the
Online Competition and
Consumer Choice Act - to
help keep access to the
Internet equal for con-
sumers in Minnesota and
across the country.
Earlier this year, a feder-
al appeals court struck down
the FCCs rules for net neu-
trality, which Franken
helped strengthen in 2010.
The courts decision was a
major setback for Minnesota
consumers and small busi-
nesses, threatening the
architecture of the Internet.
In response, Franken called
on the FCC to take appropri-
ate action to preserve equal
access to the Internet. In
April, Franken wrote to FCC
Chairman Tom Wheeler,
saying that his proposal to
allow corporations to pay for
preferential treatment on an
Internet fast lane was mis-
guided, and urged him to
change course.
Franken has said net
neutrality is the principle
that the Internet belongs to
the people, not huge corpo-
rations. That means
Internet Service Providers
cant pick and choose what
content will reach con-
sumers. Franken has also
said that net neutrality is
the free speech issue of our
time, calling the Internet
the public square of the 21st
century and a marketplace
for new businesses and new
ideas.
The Pennington
County Fair has come to
a close. I received or
heard a lot of positive
comments about the fair
this year, especially
about the paved food
court drive and the new
tables. Fairgoers have
been asking for these
improvements for many
years and its great that
the Fair Association
acted on the requests.
Actually, I wouldnt
expect anything less
from this hard working,
dedicated group.
I dont ever recall see-
ing so many people in
the food-court area on
the first night. Maybe it
was the food. An
Indiana newspaper
described their food
court as a mouthful of
wonderful. I like that
description. It seems to
fit quite well. The
weather may also have
helped encourage people
to attend. But for the
warm, humid conditions
on Sunday, tempera-
tures at the fair were
really pretty mild.
In this edition of The
Times, youll find photos
of as many grand cham-
pions as we could find.
If we missed some, we
apologize. Its likely we
missed you because we
either ran out of energy
or because we havent
learned how to be in two
places at once. If you
would like copies of the
photos, you can either
contact our office or log
onto The Times website
and click on the big blue
button to see and buy
photos. It may take
awhile to go through all
the photos. We took
hundreds if not thou-
sands of photos.
I had to laugh at
those people who wore
open-toed shoes through
the barns. For some rea-
son, I seemed to see and
hear a lot about that.
Sure, the shoes are com-
fortable, but livestock
are not trained pets. If
you got something
squishy and stinky
between your toes -
dont blame the horses
and cows or organiz-
ers of the event.
Wojos Rodeo was a
good fit to the fair. Of
the many grandstand
attractions held on
Thursday night over the
years, this one seemed
to attract the most peo-
ple. And from those who
attended, they said it
was nice to see the vari-
ety, which is not to say
they didnt like the bull-
ride, they just wanted to
see a variety that a
rodeo offers.
The Thunder on
Hooves committee put
on another wonderful
show. It seemed like
there were fewer riders
this year. I wonder
whether that had any-
thing to do with the new
point system, the many
bullride events available
that weekend or the
purse. I suppose it could
be a little of all of the
above or something
entirely different.
Irregardless, the rides
and action did not disap-
point the spectators. It
was another great
event. I also liked the
tribute to Norris Thune.
Norris, who passed
away last year, really
worked hard to promote
the event.
Some people won-
dered aloud to me
whether the number of
participants and entries
were down. According to
the University of
Minnesota Extension
Service office here, there
were 154 exhibitors, 503
exhibits and 202 ani-
mals entered in the 4-H
exhibits at the fair this
year. Last years num-
bers were almost identi-
cal.
I thought the number
in the open class looked
about the same, but
learned that overall, the
number of entries was
down about 50. The culi-
nary department had 51
more entries, but the
number of entries in
photography and adult
art were down. Arlette
Defreece said the quali-
ty of the entries was
good, but the quantity
was down.
Interests tend to shift.
When, for example, digi-
tal photography made it
less expensive and less
time consuming to take
photos, the number of
entries increased sub-
stantially. Interests may
be shifting now toward
culinary arts, and the
number of photography
entries falling to more
average or normal num-
bers. Next year, inter-
ests may shift to wood-
working or agriculture.
Who knows. It will be,
however, interesting to
see what happens next
year. Im already looking
forward to next years
Pennington County Fair.
Letter
Thank you
to Sanford
for care
On the fifth anniversary
of the last federal minimum
wage increase, Sen. Al
Franken (D-Minn.) pressed
Congress to give a raise to
millions of workers across
the country.
At a Capitol Hill event,
Franken joined Sen. Tom
Harkin (D-Iowa) and Rep.
George Miller (D-Calif.) to
highlight the billions in lost
wages by hard-working
Americans because the fed-
eral minimum wage has not
kept pace with rising costs.
In the past five years, the
cost of child care has risen
by almost 15 percent, public
transportation prices have
jumped by over 20 percent,
rent has gone up nearly 10
percent, and groceries are
almost 10 percent more
expensive. But during the
same time, the national
minimum wage has
remained stuck at $7.25 per
hour.
The minimum wage is
all about making sure that
work pays, said Franken.
If you work hard, and take
responsibility, you should be
able to put a roof over your
head and provide a decent
life for your children. But
its been too long since the
federal minimum wage kept
that promise to Americas
workers. In the last five
years, rent has gone up, gro-
ceries have gotten more
expensive, and child care
costs have jumped. But dur-
ing that same time, the fed-
eral minimum wage hasnt
been increased. This is
something weve got to fight
for.
Franken has been a long-
time supporter of raising
the federal minimum wage.
He is a cosponsor of the
Minimum Wage Fairness
Act, which was blocked in
April by a minority of sena-
tors. After that bill was
blocked in the Senate,
Franken took to the Senate
floor to express his deep dis-
appointment and urge his
colleagues to raise the feder-
al minimum wage and allow
people to work their way to
a better life.

POLICIES
Bill extends EARLY Act
in fight against cancer
Bipartisan legislation to
increase breast cancer
awareness among young
women across the country
has been introduced. The
bipartisan bill introduced
in both the Senate and
House would extend the
EARLY Act (Breast Health
Education and Awareness
Requires Learning Young
Act), which created an edu-
cation and outreach cam-
paign administered by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention to highlight
the breast cancer risks fac-
ing young women and
empower young women with
the tools they need to fight
this disease. Every year,
more than 26,000 women
under the age of 45 are diag-
nosed with breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the lead-
ing cause of cancer deaths
among women under the age
of 45, said Sen. Amy
Klobuchar (D-Minn) said.
The statistics are stagger-
ing, but its the stories of
real women whove woken
up one day only to learn that
their lives have changed for-
ever that are truly heart-
breaking. This important
legislation will help improve
breast cancer awareness and
ensure that women espe-
cially young women have
access to the best informa-
tion and support available to
protect themselves against
this disease.
My wife, Wendy, tragical-
ly lost her mother to breast
cancer when she was just 6.
Her loss serves as a continu-
al reminder to our family,
including our three daugh-
ters, of how important it is
to raise awareness about
breast cancer and increasing
resources to fight the dis-
ease. Elevating breast can-
cer prevention and early
detection, increasing
research, and expanding
access to care will all help
combat this disease that
affects all of us, said Sen.
David Vitter (R-LA).
Too many women and
health practitioners believe
breast cancer is not some-
thing that happens to
younger women, but the
hard truth is that more
26,000 women under age 45
are diagnosed with this
deadly disease each year. I
was one of them, said Rep.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
who was diagnosed with
breast cancer at age 41 and
after seven surgeries is now
six years cancer-free. I
knew that once I recovered, I
had to make it one of my
professional and personal
priorities to do all that I
could to help other young
and higher-risk women
know their risks and get the
resources and support neces-
sary to fight this disease. I
thank my colleagues
Congresswoman Ellmers
and Senators Klobuchar and
Vitter for joining me in this
effort to save more lives.
"Over the past two
decades, we have made
tremendous strides in the
battle against breast cancer,
and thousands of lives have
been saved due to new treat-
ments, care and preventa-
tive screening. But this fight
is not over and we need to
continue our efforts to help
all women - young and old -
so they can protect them-
selves and identify the risks
associated with this devas-
tating disease, said Rep.
Renee Ellmers (R-NC). I'm
proud to join my colleagues
Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
Amy Klobuchar, and David
Vitter as an original co-spon-
sor of this reauthorization
and look forward to it quick-
ly moving through the leg-
islative process."
Over the last four years
the CDC has already accom-
plished a number of objec-
tives through the EARLY
Act: identifying where the
gaps exist in education and
awareness among young
women and health care
providers about breast
health; supporting young
survivors through grants to
organizations focused on
helping these survivors cope
with the many unique chal-
lenges they face, including
fertility preservation, and
long-term survivorship chal-
lenges; and implementing a
targeted media campaign,
including through innova-
tive social media efforts, to
reach women at the highest
risks, including those at risk
for cancers caused by genet-
ic mutations.
Already looking
forward to the
next county fair

To the Editor:
On July 15, I had my hip
replaced. I want to give a big
heartfelt thank you to Dr.
Possai and Dr. Jahn and to
all the staff at Sanford
Hospital - Thief River Falls.
The care I received while I
was there was excellent.
Also, to the occupational
therapy and physical thera-
py staff who were exception-
ally patient and helpful to
me during my stay.
Maybe bypassing Sanford
in Thief River Falls isnt
always the right thing to do.

Robertson Lumber
Company Begins
Expansion Work
Robertson Lumber com-
pany has recently begun
work on an expansion pro-
gram which is estimated to
cost $20,600 and will result
in creation of three new
business places and
improvement of the present
lumber company facilities,
according to Robert Bregier,
local manager.
The expansion will use
the total area of the compa-
ny property west to the fence
east of Northwestern hospi-
tal and will include a
Holiday gas station, dis-
count house and World Wide
catalog store. The office will
be 75 feet long at the longest
point, tapering to 50 feet and
will be 45 feet wide.
Extensive remodeling of the
present office is included in
the plan.
Bregier said the expan-
sion will create a need for at
least three additional full-
time employees and that
completion is expected in
November. When completed,
the plan will more than dou-
ble the merchandising area
presently used by the lum-
ber company.

St. Hilaire Gophers Defeat McIntosh
The St. Hilaire Gophers, one of the finest teams in
this part of the state, easily defeated the McIntosh team, in
a hotly contested game on their home grounds Sunday.
The McIntosh team is a fast one and has a record of
17 straight games without a single defeat, for this summer.
They have lately laid claim to the championship of
Northern Minnesota and have challenged the Thief River
Falls team to play for a $200.00 side bet. But, sad to relate,
they bumped up against a bunch of real ball players last
Sunday who knocked a hole in their record.
Since trimming Terrebonne in three straight games
and putting the quietus on the McIntosh champs, Manager
Pitkin of the Gophers has had several offers to play teams
that are made up of league material.

Pioneer Days Reenacted on Mud Lake
Woman Camps Under Huge Umbrella With Shot Gun
and Wards Off Trespassers
Pioneer days, when large tracts of government lands
were thrown open to homestead entry, were re-enacted on
the old lake bed of Mud lake, east of Holt, last Tuesday,
when news was received to the effect that the recent gov-
ernment survey of the land had been accepted.
The rush for the government land created more
excitement than the time when the Indian reservation was
opened ten years ago and, on a small scale, was as stirring
as the rush that built Oklahoma City in a day.
During recent years the drainage projects have
almost entirely removed the lake, laying bare hundreds of
acres of rich virgin soil, perfectly level and free from brush
and trees. No attempt was made to cultivate the soil and
last July a party of government surveyors re-surveyed the
old shore line of the lake and sub-divided the reclaimed
area into quarter sections.
News that the survey had been accepted reached
Holt last Tuesday morning. The news spread rapidly and
the rush started in earnest. Automobiles, wagons and car-
riages carried the land seekers to the homestead site at
break-neck speed. Those who were not fortunate enough to
secure rides, started out on foot to cover the distance of ten
miles.
Numerous claim jumpers were among the late
arrivals and in several instances trespassers were driven
off at the point of shot guns. One woman, who was among
the first to arrive, brought with her four small tamarack
poles and a large wagon umbrella. Hastily selecting a
quarter, she drove the poles into the ground, made a roof of
the umbrella and stood guard over her possession with a
shot gun, effectually putting to rout three claim jumpers.
The winners in the spirited contest are keeping a
careful watch of their new buildings, to avoid having them
jumped. Actual settlement and continuous residence is the
only thing that will give them prior rights when the land is
formally opened for entry on the 15th of September.
We may look for an exodus of doctors to Russia, now
that Premier Khrushchev has proposed to increase the
pay of physicians from $80 a month to $98.
Time is a great healer, they tell us, but it is no beau-
ty operator.

With race riots erupting in many U.S. cities, Thief
River Falls people may count themselves fortunate in not
having a racial problem.

Although President Johnson and Robert Kennedy

They call our language the mother tongue, we are
advised, because Father never gets a chance to use it.

More than 280 food
shelves throughout
Minnesota have received a
timely boost from Minnesota
FoodShare.
During the nonprofits
2014 March Campaign cele-
bration event Tuesday, July
22, Director Suzanne
Shatila announced the dis-
tribution of $500,000 from
the Minnesota FoodShare
Food Fund. The food shelves
that took part in the March
Campaign will each receive
a share of that distribution.
The Thief River Falls Area
Food Shelf received
$1,437.11.
These funds come at a
crucial time for food shelves.
Families that rely on free or
reduced-price lunches dur-
ing the school year turn to
food shelves during the sum-
mer to help make ends meet.
In addition, food shelf dona-
tions tend to drop off during
the summer months because
people are busy with vaca-
tions, trips to the cabin and
other activities.
I have heard from sever-
al food shelves around the
state about some of the chal-
lenges they are facing keep-
ing shelves stocked this
summer, Shatila said. This
is money that was con-
tributed directly to
Minnesota FoodShare dur-
ing the March Campaign
and every dollar of that food
fund is going out to food
shelves in various amounts.
Through the efforts of
companies, community
groups, congregations,
schools and individuals, this
years March Campaign
raised more than $7.5 mil-
lion and more than 4.3 mil-
lion pounds of food for 281
food shelves throughout
Minnesota.
Its your efforts and
those of thousands of others
throughout the state that
have once again made
Minnesota FoodShares
March Campaign an amaz-
ing success, Shatila said.
For more than three
decades, Minnesota
FoodShare has had a unique
focus ensuring local food
shelves throughout the state
are supported in their com-
passionate efforts to feed the
hungry in their communi-
ties. The March Campaign is
the only statewide effort
where every dollar donated
goes directly to local food
shelves and the annual cam-
paign raises more than half
the food distributed by these
food shelves.
However, Minnesota
FoodShare is much more
than the March Campaign.
Through advocacy on the
local, state and national
level, and development of
additional programs such as
GardenShare and mini-
farmers markets,
Minnesota FoodShare con-
tinues to raise awareness
about hunger issues and
ensure the hungry have
access to their most basic
need.
Further support
Area Food Shelf is also par-
ticipating in the Open Your
Heart to the Hungry and
Homeless challenge grant.
Open Your Heart will match
donations to the food shelf
during the month of July up
to $5,000. The more the food
shelf raises this month, the
larger the matching grant
will be.
As part of that fundraiser,
the food shelf is holding a
raffle. The top prize is $500
cash. The winner will be
announced Saturday, Aug. 2
at 3 p.m. at RiverFest. Raffle
tickets are $5 and may be
obtained by calling 681-
4708.

Safe Kids
warns about
heatstroke
Heatstroke is the number
one killer of children, out-
side of car crashes. Thats
why Safe Kids Grand Forks
has joined with the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration to attempt
to reduce these deaths by
reminding parents and care-
givers about the dangers of
heatstroke and leaving chil-
dren in hot cars. Last year,
44 children lost their lives
nationwide.
As a reminder, as outside
temperatures rise, the risk
of children dying from being
left alone inside a hot vehi-
cle also rises. One child dies
from heatstroke nearly
every 10 days from being
left in a hot vehicle, but
what is most tragic is that
the majority of these deaths
could have been prevented.
Safe Kids Grand Forks
urges all parents and care-
givers to do these three
things:
1) NEVER leave a child
in a vehicle unattended;
2) Make it a habit to look
in the backseat EVERY time
you exit the car;
3) ALWAYS lock the car
and put the keys out of
reach. And, if you ever see a
child left alone in a hot vehi-
cle, call 911 right away.
Know the warning signs
of heatstroke, which
include: red, hot, and moist
or dry skin; no sweating; a
strong rapid pulse or a slow
weak pulse; nausea; confu-
sion; or acting strangely. If a
child exhibits any of these
signs after being in a hot
vehicle, cool the child rapid-
ly by spraying them with
cool water or with a garden
hose, NEVER an ice bath.
Call 911 or your local emer-
gency number immediately.
Childrens body tempera-
tures can rise up to five
times faster than that of an
adult, and heatstroke can
occur in temperatures as
low as 57 degrees. On an 80-
degree day, a car can reach
deadly levels in just 10 min-
utes.
More than half of all vehi-
cle-related heatstroke
deaths in children are
caused by a child accidental-
ly being left in the car, and
29 percent are from a child
getting into a hot car on
their own. Safe Kids Grand
Forks wants to get the word
out to parents and care-
givers to please look before
you lock.
Safe Kids Grand Forks is
a coalition that includes
Altru Health System staff,
among others.

The Olson farm in Section 7, Hickory
Township was recognized as a Century
Farm during a ceremony Sunday, July 21 at
the Pennington County Fair. Miss Thief
River Falls Brittany Johnson presented the
honor to (from left) Myles, Janice, Sara and
Erick Olson. John and Gunvor Olson home-
steaded the property in 1904. Six of their
sons farmed alongside their father until his
death in 1940. The brothers later purchased
the Duane Wojnarowski farm. All but one
Olaf eventually moved to the
Wojnarowski farm. Olaf was the only one of
the six who married. He and his wife,
Alverra, remained at the original home-
stead. Since Olafs retirement, the farmland
has either been enrolled in the
Conservation Reserve Program or rented
out. Following Olafs death in 1999, the
Olson farm was split into two properties
owned by Wayne and Myles. Myles and
Janice operate a hobby farm on the proper-
ty.
Miss Thief River Falls Brittany Johnson presented a 2014
Pennington County Outstanding Senior Citizen award to
Dale Svendsgaard of Thief River Falls. Svendsgaard was

sented Friday, July 18 at the Pennington County Fair.
