Local COVID-19 cases climb; contact

tracing continuesSTAFF REPORT

[email protected]

Kanabec County saw a jump in confi rmed cases of COVID-19 this last week, particu-larly among the elderly; the number of those requiring hospitalization has also increased. As of Tuesday, Aug. 11, confi rmed cases of COVID-19 are up to 35.

“What people should know is that the virus is circulating in our community,” said Kanabec County Community Health Direc-tor Kathy Burski. “When people continue to gather with people from outside of ‘normal’ contacts without being able to stay physical-ly distant and without wearing a mask, the chances of more and more of our community members contracting COVID will continue to increase.”

CONTACT TRACING CONTINUESAs new cases arise, health offi cials work at-

tempt to track down where the virus has been and where it might be going through contact tracing.

If an infected person has a link to a congre-gate care, health care facility, school, etc., the investigation is handled by the Minnesota Department of Health.

Other local cases are investigated by Kana-bec County Community Health staff.

The staff ask questions about where that person has been and who they have been in close contact with in an attempt to educate theexposed about if they should isolate them-selves and what symptoms to look out for.

Among Kanabec County cases (Data from Kanabec County Community Health, as of Tuesday, Aug. 11):• 35 confi rmed cases of COVID-19• Age range: 6-100• 22 patients no longer need to be isolated • 5 patients needed hospitalization• 1 death

The Minnesota Department of Health reports exposure of COVID-19 at St. Clare Living Community of Mora.

Minnesota: 61,516 positive cases; 1,660 deaths. United States: 5 million cases; 163,000 deaths.

School makes room to breatheBuildings, buses, cleaning plans transform before school begins

BY KIRSTEN [email protected]

Signifi cant changes are being made at Mora Public Schools to help slow the spread of novel coronavirus as stu-dents to return Sept. 8.

Signifi cant shifts underway have to do with buildings, transportation routines and cleaning procedures.

Chip Brandt, Mora Public Schools’ dean of students,

transportation director and building and grounds director is the man in charge of it all.

FRESH AIRWorkers from RJ Mechan-

ical inspected Mora High School’s air handlers last week to make repairs and adjust dampers and louvers.

Brandt said the school is prioritizing getting as much fresh, outdoor air into the building as possible.

But there’s a trick to it. If the air is too cold and too

much brought in, the steam coils responsible for heating the air could freeze.

“Our goal is to bring in the maximum amount of fresh air without having any major malfunctions,” said Brandt.

The other drawback is cost. Cold air from outside takes more energy to heat than


Jesse Ruud of RJ Mechanical inspects air handlers on the roof of Mora High School, and adjusting them so the maximum amount of fresh air can be brought into the building.

Collision with belly dump trailer wrecks Mini Cooper

STAFF [email protected]

A Zimmerman woman was hos-pitalized after her Mini Cooper collided with a belly dump trailer at about 12:14 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6, south of Ogilvie.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol incident report, a semi hauling the dump trailer was headed north on Highway 47, when it slowed to turn west onto 150th Ave. The 2019 Mini Cooper was also headed north on Hwy. 47; it collided with the dump trailer from behind.

The driver of the Mini Cooper was Cynthia Lee Miller, 60, of Zimmerman. She received non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Welia Hospital in Mora.

The semi driver was Jackson Ross Bossen, 38, of Ogilvie.

Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash.

The MN State Patrol, Kanabec County Sheriff’s Offi ce and We-

lia ambulance responded to the scene.

KIM LUECK-FOSS | TIMES

The driver of this MIni Cooper was hospitalized with non-life threatening inju-ries after the vehicle collided with a belly dump trailer.

Trailer haulers: keep those wheel bearings greased

uestion: Can you talk about boat trailer safety with all the traffi c we see pulling these things?

Answer: State Troopers come across numerous motorists pulling trailers that experience breakdowns. Most often it in-

volves a fl at tire. Often it involves a trailer wheel bearing that has gone out. A trailer’s wheel bearings are often neglected because they are out of sight. Basic trailer mainte-nance involves greasing the wheel bearings. Wheel bearing

failure can occur when mainte-nance is neglected from the lack

of grease. A loose, worn or dam-aged wheel bearing is the most common cause of brakes that grab and lock up.

When these types of issues occur, it can result in a hassle, headache or even a crash. When the wheel bearing fails, it gener-ally leads to tire failure, whether a fl at or a blow out from the heat generated. I’ve seen the hubs break off and even fi res started from this.

Nobody wants to be that person stranded on the side of the road with a disabled trailer or a driver who loses control because of a trailer malfunction. It is a good idea to repack the wheel bearings and make it a part of your pre-trip inspection and maintenance schedule.

Other pre-trip preparation should include:

- Tail lights/Brake Lights func-

tioning- Proper hitch, pins and safety

chains- Check tires for proper in-

fl ation, unusual wear, weather checking and bulges

- Spare tire infl ated, jack and lug wrench

- Secure the load and all other items

A driver can do all the main-tenance checks, but if a driver doesn’t secure their load, that too can have deadly consequences. Securing your load is the law. A driver could face a citation if they don’t secure their load or worse if an unsecured load causes a crash.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let’s rise to the occasionTo the editor,

My dad and three uncles all fought for the United States in World War II. They were in Eu-rope, the Pacifi c and in the U.S. They all gave years of their lives to our country and my uncle, Carl Olseen, received a Silver Star for bravery as a tanker at the Rhine River in Germany.

Meanwhile back in the States every one contributed to the war effort. People saved metal and had gas, tire and food rationed--un-derstanding everyone was in the effort to win the war together. With so many men gone for the war, “Rosie the Riveter” helped build the ships, tanks, planes and weapons. They earned the title of Greatest Generation.

Fast forward 75 years and today we are fi ghting a different war--

the war against the coronavirus. I don’t see the joint effort of our country to beat this virus. We are asked to wash our hands, social distance and to wear a mask in public.

Our nation united 79 years ago to fi ght a common enemy--let’s do it again today and show the Greatest Generation we too can rise to the occasion.

Rick OlseenHarris

Not about traditionTo the editor,

“If we give in on one, they’ll take them all,” today’s market-driven NRA says. The powerful, often life-time manipulators of this bedrock organization have successfully fear-mongered and capitalized the emotions of freedom lovers for a

generation.“The NRA deeply offends my

own sense of decency and honor;” President George H.W. Bush said, “it offends my concept of service to country. I resign as a lifetime member of the NRA.”

The lawsuit being brought against the NRA is not about taking away our guns. It is about how a passionate public has been coerced and falsely compelled through a deception and fraud thatprofi ted and enriched a crooked, self-serving entity. Those of us whose family tradition is loyalty to our second amendment heritage should be outraged and open to a return to sanity.

An astounding 90% of Amer-icans are not comfortable with military style rifl es and handguns

So much uncertainty

The pandemic we are in is taking its toll on people, on business, on health care and some of our freedoms. Anxiety and stress are on the increase.

These are uncertain times in the economy. Will jobs be there? Will schools be open with

traditional classroom teachers? When will a vaccine be avail-able to treat this frightening dis-ease? And ultimately, when will the fear of so many uncertain things be stabilized?

I have asked a lot of people how they are dealing with the stress, fear and uncertainty. The responses have varied and some may be worth considering.

Some have said they just don’t eat in a restaurant now unless there is outside dining. They do take-out and drive-through.

Many people have said they are not going where there are groups of people and do grocery shopping and other shopping very carefully and always with a mask.

Some churches are starting to open up in a limited way, but seniors and those with pre-ex-isting conditions say they will worship with church services online for an indefi nite period.

Many companies have improved the safety of their offi ces by providing good ventilation, space between workers and Plexiglass shields. Some companies are able to have a number of their staff work from home and have made provisions with computers and phone systems.

But there are many restaurants and retailers that haven’t reopened, and many are closing for good.

The Payroll Protection Plan has given some very solid relief to small busi-nesses, but more help will be needed. This newspaper could not have continued without it.

Government programs have been very helpful in bringing stimulus checks that help with food, rent, mortgage pay-ments, insurance and transportation.

Various parts of the country are spiking with the disease. There are those who feel they can do whatever they want in the name of freedom so they are not wearing masks and practicing distance in groups.

Little by little we are hearing encouraging news on therapies and vaccines that are now in trials.

It is hard to know who and what to believe. Generally, I have more confi dence in our medi-cal community than I do in the political arena. You probably feel that way, too.

Good advice is to use common sense, don’t take chances and wear a mask whenever you are indoors in public. If you have symptoms, seek immediate treatment.

It becomes diffi cult for people in nursing homes and senior facilities, and even in your own homes, where you feel restricted. People need people to interact with. Pick up the phone and call family and friends, send emails or write letters.

Pete StewartMora

Have we benefi ted?To the editor,

We all have noticed the “huuuge” campaign signs popping up in the area. We might question whether the people erecting these huuuge signs benefi t directly, or “believe” they have benefi ted, with their sup-port of candidates now in offi ce.

After erecting their huuuge campaign signs, are these people comfortable with years of govern-ment in disarray and cronyism/corruption in government?

Are these people with the huuuge signs also comfortable that we now have a supreme court that no lon-ger serves the best interests of the American people, and the justice department and leaders in national health are presently silent lest they make those in positions of power look bad?

I would be considered to be progressive and have always sup-ported funding almost all that is a benefi t for the American people and guaranteeing that government still works for all the people.

My guess is the people with the huuuge campaign signs are the

very ones that refuse to accept wearing face masks as a deterrent to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and year after year tend to vote against bond issues for new schools.

Yes, my taxes are going up next year, but if the future generations are able to provide dedicated, hon-est leadership, this is money well spent.

Chuck DavidsonMora

Follow common sense instead of politicsTo the editor,

In response to Phil Halvorson’s letter in the Aug. 6 issue of the Kanabec County Times, I too was an engineer for many decades and worked in the health care device industry as a quality engineering manager. I know as well as you that for almost every study or trial that is out there, there is probably an-other that has a differing opinion. For the benefi t of wearing a mask as part of the fi ght on COVID-19, however, I could not fi nd a single one that said it was not at all effec-tive. Some said it was more bene-fi cial than others, but not a single one said there was no benefi t or it was harmful.

As for studies that support this, just check out the National Library of Medicine (Recent Studies) or the CDC (Mask Studies for COVID-19). These two sources alone site 86 recent studies. Or, simply Google “Mask studies for COVID-19.”

The majority of these studies

concluded that the wearer of the mask received minimal benefi t from the mask. This was mostly the benefi t of breathing in fewer or smaller quantities of the virus and thus acquiring a less severe case of the disease. The benefi t to others, however, was quite substantial as the masks (even cloth, home-made) signifi cantly reduced the quanti-ty, size and speed of the moisture droplets containing the virus. This is signifi cant because a person speaking, unmasked, can send droplets of contaminated moisture three to nine feet. When masked, however, this is reduced to under six feet. Sneezing and coughing are even worse and send droplets as far as 20 feet when unmasked but less than nine feet if properly masked.

To say there is no benefi t to wear-ing a mask is incorrect as even our illustrious president has found out.

I would also be interested in fi nding a study that says the re-breathing of air by the wearer was harmful.

As a large portion of the public have few symptoms of this virus or are asymptomatic, they are walk-ing around unknowingly contam-inating others for 17 to 21 days if they do not wear a mask.

Now, I have not given you just an opinion. The facts are that studies do exist and to not wear a mask in a public place is not just inconsid-erate, but it is stupid. The mandate by the governor would never have been necessary, had this not be-come a political issue instead of a common sense health measure.

The following Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation offi cer weekly reports explain the activities performed by Division of Enforcement personnel in protecting Minnesota’s natural resources through eff ective law enforcement and education. Provided by the MN DNR on Aug. 3, 2020.

PIne City: Conservation Offi cer Ben Karon spent the past week checking boaters and anglers on area lakes and rivers. Remember to clean vegetation off of boats and trailers. Time was spent on ATV patrolling trails. The most common violations found were for registration issues.

Hinckley: Conservation Offi cer Bret Grundmeier spent time instructing at the current Conservation Offi cer Academy and dealing with Wetland Conservation Act violations. There were also quite a few complaints of wake boats causing damage to shorelines. Some lakeshore owners sent Grundmeier videos of waves created by wake boats damaging shorelines and docked equipment. Wake boating activity on smaller lakes in the Hinckley area only recently became more popular and wake damage com-plaints have steadily increased over the past few summers.

Mora: Conservation Offi cer Mike Krauel spent the week patrolling for boating safety violations. Krauel also spent time patrolling for ATV and OHM activity and assisting at the Conservation Offi cer Academy. Enforcement action was taken for no navigation lights, no fi shing license, an-gling with extra lines, no ATV registration and no personal fl oatation devises. Krauel also made an arrest on a felony warrant for possession of methamphetamine.

Milaca: Conservation Offi cer Nathan Benkofske reports checking anglers and boaters on area lakes. Enforcement action was taken for lack of life jackets, expired water-craft registration and lack of navigation lights after dark. Nuisance-animal calls were also handled.

Cambridge: Conservation Offi cer Angela Londgren pa-trolled local lakes and rivers checking boaters and anglers. A grandpa and his grandson were happy to see an offi cer and get a ride/tow to shore when their jet ski fl ipped up-side down and became bogged down with water. Site visits were also conducted on wetland and public water cases.

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS Aug. 3, 2020

BY LUKE GREINERMN DEPT OF EMPLOYMENT AND

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Now more than four months into the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses and organiza-tions in Central Minneso-ta – and across the United States – have attempted to mitigate risk in many different ways. Unfortu-nately, cases of COVID-19 continue to happen and have been rising in re-cent weeks.

The good news is that weekly UI (unemploy-ment insurance) appli-cations for nearly all industries are a fraction of what they were in mid- to- late March, but the cumulative scale of the layoffs is unprecedented.

A few industries of concern in Central Min-nesota are health care and social assistance, accommodation and food services, manufacturing and administrative sup-port and waste manage-ment services.

The region’s health care systems have not been spared from eco-nomic hardship in the current crisis, but they do appear to be doing better than expected, at least when looking at a comparison of the share of continuing UI claims (14.9%) to share of em-ployment (18%).

However, the share of initial UI claims (17.6%)

for May in the healthcare and social assistance industry closely matches the share of employment, and more claims were fi led from health care and social assistance workers than from any other industry that month.

FOOD SERVICEAccommodation and

food service businesses continue to struggle, both due to policies limiting their capacity to slow the spread of the virus and the decreased demand for their services as fewer people feel comfortable with activities that allow people to congregate. Roughly 8.5% of employ-ment in the region is at accommodation and food service establishments, but the industry accounts for double that share (16.9%) of the ongoing UI claims. Just as troubling is the high percentage of claims still being fi led from workers in the industry, amounting to over 7% of all initial claims fi led in May.

MANUFACTURINGManufacturing compa-

nies don’t have the same operating restrictions as personal care services or food and drinking places, yet they account-ed for 16.3% of all initial UI claims in May. With a higher share of initial claims in May than

continuing claims, man-ufacturers are laying off workers at higher rates in more recent weeks, posing a new challenge for the region’s second largest employing indus-try.

SUPPORT AND WASTE MANAGE-MENT

Finally, the adminis-trative support and wastemanagement services industry has seen a disproportionate share ofUI claims being fi led by workers, similar to the accommodation and food service industry. This includes employment at personnel and staffi ng agencies.

The large share of UI claims is likely the resultof decreases in demand for labor as temporary help can be laid off easierthan permanent employ-ees. The good news is that it appears that demand for temp work-ers isn’t gone, but has instead shifted to occu-pations such as cleaning rather than production.

In fact, despite having roughly half the amount of job openings on Min-nesotaWorks.net in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the previousyear, the industry has a higher share of overall job openings in Central Minnesota. Staffi ng agencies are staying busyand remain on the front lines of hiring activity.

The Allied celebrations on Victory in Europe Day (V-E Day), on May 8, 1945, were subdued by the

knowledge that war raged on in the Pacifi c. As the fi ghting ended in Europe, US troops were drawing a noose around the Japanese home islands. But there were ominous signs that Japan’s fi erce resistance would continue. The battles for Iwo Jima and Okinawa during the fi rst half of 1945 were marked by spectacular carnage, and Americans were chastened by the knowledge that Japan had never surrendered to a foreign power and that no Japanese military unit had surrendered during World War II.

After Okinawa fell to US forces on June 22, 1945, an invasion of the Japanese home islands was set to begin. But before the invasion was to take place, the most destructive war in history came to a shattering and rapid end. On August 6, the United States dropped the fi rst atomic bomb over Hiroshima, ultimately killing as many as 140,000 people. Two days later, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Then, on August 9, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb over Nagasaki, ultimately killing approximately 70,000.

Finally recognizing that victory was impossible, the Japanese government accepted Allied surrender terms without qualifi cations on August 14, 1945. That same day, President Harry S. Truman announced from the White House that the Japanese acceptance met the terms laid down at the Potsdam Conference for unconditional surrender. As soon as the news of Japan’s surrender

was announced on August 14, celebrations erupted across the United States. The United Kingdom announced that its offi cial V-J Day would be the next day, August 15, 1945, and Americans exuberantly joined in that day’s merriment, too.

In New York City’s Times Square, sailors climbed lampposts to unfurl American fl ags as ticker tape rained down upon the throngs gathered to celebrate the

war’s end. In thousands of small towns like North Platte, Nebraska, similar scenes included fi reworks, confetti, and impromptu parades down Main Street. In San Francisco, parades celebrated that troops would soon return home through that city.

In Honolulu, marching bands, parades, ticker tape, and blowing papers fi lled the streets. In backyard celebrations, shirtless veterans

drank celebratory toasts in the warm sunlight. Veterans and their girlfriends also crowded into and on top of trucks and cars (some even riding on fenders), waved fl ags, and excitedly drove through the city, relishing the moment Americans had hoped for since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) would offi cially be celebrated in the United States on the day formal surrender documents were signed aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay: September 2, 1945.

But as welcome as victory over Japan was, the day was bittersweet in light of the war’s destructiveness. More than 400,000 Americans—and an estimated 65 million people worldwide—had died in the confl ict. As historian Donald L. Miller, PhD, wrote in his book The Story of World War II, “It was too much death to contemplate, too much savagery and suffering; and in August 1945 no one was counting. For those who had seen the face of battle and been in the camps and under the bombs—and had lived—there was a sense of immense relief.” The war was over.

AUGUST 15, 1945

‘It was too much death to contemplate, too much savagery and suff ering; and in August 1945 no one was counting. For those who had seen the face of

battle and been in the camps and under the bombs—and had lived—there was a sense of immense relief.’

Donald L. Miller

Historian

V-J Day ends WWII

The President of the United States announced at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday that the war with Japan was

ended. The Japanese imperial government had accepted the inevitable and agreed to the unconditional surrender terms demanded by the Allied governments.

The surrender message had been anxiously awaited by the whole world for several days following a message from Japan stating that it was ready to quit if the emperor could be retained. The fi nal terms permit him to hold his position but during the occupation of

Japan by Allied troops he shall be subjected to the orders of the Allied supreme commander.

General Douglas MacArthur has been appointed Allied supreme commander to receive Japan's formal surrender, which will take place in a few days, after which he will be head of the Allied occupation forces.

Proclamation of offi cial V-J day will await the formal signing of the surrender terms by Japan. There will be an occupational army of 500,000 to 1,000,000 troops, mostly Americans.

President Truman

announced that fi ve to eight million men now in the service will be discharged within the next 12 to 18 months. Transportation limitations prevent an earlier return. Many of our troops who have seen long service will be replaced by late inductees. Inductions of those under 26 will continue for replacement purposes but to a reduced extent.

The end of the war with Japan was hastened by the use of the atomic bomb and the declaration of war against that country by Russia. The enemy realized that the continued use

of the new bomb would soon wipe out its major cities if war continued

The whole country went on a general holiday yesterday and all businesses, except essential, were suspended. In Mora the beer parlors were ordered closed immediately upon receiving the president's announcement and continued closed through Wednesday. There were hilarious demonstrations in main cities and towns throughout the country, but Mora remained quiet aside from the blowing of the village siren and the tooting of horns.

Palmer amaranth (Amaran-thus palmeri) was fi rst found in Minnesota in 2016. Since then, small infestations have been documented along with identi-fi ed pathways.

Palmer amaranth was origi-nally brought into the state via a contaminated conservation seed mix and was planted in 34 plantings across Lyon and Yellow Medicine counties. Those plantings were surveyed and plants were identifi ed. Walking through each individual plant-ing helped the Minnesota De-partment of Agriculture under-stand the plantings and helped determine the best action need-ed. Late in 2016, some plantings were propane weed torched to prevent seed production. In 2017, plantings that had Palmer am-aranth growing were managed with prescribed fi re, propane weed torching and hand pulling. Some plantings, but not all, also received an herbicide treatment to help slow the spread of Palm-er. Management activities and surveys were completed multiple times throughout the growing season to ensure that Palmer amaranth did not establish itself. Plantings that had Palmer amaranth in 2016 and 2017 had no reemergence of Palmer in

2018 and 2019.Some of those plantings con-

tinue to be surveyed, and, so far, no Palmer amaranth has been found. Surveys will continue until all known plantings where Palmer amaranth was planted are deemed eradicated.

Through stringent manage-ment activities and surveys, Palmer amaranth has not been able to produce seed and estab-lish itself. More importantly, Palmer amaranth has not spread into neighboring fi elds where corn, soybean and other row crops resided. The longer that we can protect Minnesota from Palmer amaranth and oth-er aggressive weeds, the better we can protect the health of our agricultural economy.

Each season brings new Palmer amaranth fi ndings and new pathways. However, more and more farmers and land managers are becoming aware of the weed and are notifying the proper authorities to help them manage the infestation. The Minnesota Department of Agri-culture, University of Minnesota Extension, county agricultural inspectors, the Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa and landowners/managers con-tinue to work together to man-age the spread and detection of this plant.

We may be in the midst of summer, but fall migration has begun for some birds. A few species of shorebirds began to depart in July, and additional shorebirds are now on their way. Artic and boreal breeding shorebirds, including least sandpiper and short-billed dowitcher, are some of the earliest migrants to leave due to a short nesting season. Some warbler species also migrate in August, including blackpoll, chestnut-sided, golden-winged, Nashville, Tennessee and Can-ada warblers.

Migration is a diffi cult and dangerous undertaking, and different birds face different threats.

Most fall migrant species continue to prepare for their

long journeys south. Waterfowl are beginning to leave the safe-ty of the wetlands, testing their new primary fl ight feathers. Their young are learning to fl y for the very fi rst time.

Great egrets are gathering along the edges of lakes and marshes. Sandhill cranes and their colts are emerging from nesting marshlands, feeding heavily in nearby hayfi elds and grasslands. The remain-ing shorebirds are gathering at shallow wetlands and mud fl ats, including piping plover, semipalmated plover, glossy ibis, little blue heron, stilt sandpiper, solitary sandpiper and least tern.

Carlos Avery Wildlife Man-agement Area near Forest Lake offers birders a great opportunity to view various species of shorebirds and sand-hill cranes. To view these birds

up close, consider birding by kayak.

DID YOU KNOW?Minnesota’s grassland prai-

ries are prime birdwatching sites that are often overlooked.

Just some of the grassland birds that can be observed include bobolink, upland

sandpiper, dickcissel, western meadowlark, prairie chicken, sharp-tailed grouse, grass-hopper sparrow, Savannah sparrow, red-winged blackbird,yellow-headed blackbird and ring-necked pheasant.

Tragically, only one percent of Minnesota’s vast native prai-ries remain, yet fi ve prairie songbirds have adapted and now make their homes in wild grasslands.

BIRDS NEED WATERThe month of August can be

very dry and natural water sources often evaporate quick-ly. Bird baths and other water features are extremely import-ant for our backyard birds this month.

Follow the recipes directly and refrain from altering food preservation recipes, as that is not safe. Canning is a science, and if you alter the recipe or skip some steps, you could put yourself, your family and your guests at risk for botulism, an espe-cially deadly form of food poisoning.

Even if you use a salsa recipe from Extension, but you change it, you could have hazardous consequenc-es. Adding extra onions, bell peppers or other ingredients not in the recipe can dilute the acidity. Adding fl our or cornstarch as a thickener can slow the rate of heating

during processing. Freezing is the best way to preserve your own salsa creations or other foods from recipes that haven’t been research-tested.

If the canning recipe requires a pressure canner, make sure to test the pres-sure gauge every year. If you don’t test your gauge, it couldprovide inaccurate readings and you won’t know if your food is being canned proper-ly. For more information on testing, check out the Exten-sion page https://z.umn.edu/cannertesting. You can also check with your local county Extension offi ce, http://local.extension.umn.edu/local, to see if testing is done locally.

Upswing in direct purchasing brings challenges for small meat processors

One of the great benefi ts of living in a rural community is our abil-ity to enjoy food grown

locally. Families appreciate easy access to high qual-ity nutrition. Many farms and ranches depend on these local sales.

Like so much of our daily life, this system was disrupted by COVID-19. When work

is interrupted at industrial processing facilities, com-modity producers fl ood local meat lockers with their prod-

uct. With already limited reservation space being tak-en up by large growers, those who depend on direct-to-con-sumer sales were left out.

Longtime customers are now being asked to schedule orders up to one year in ad-vance. This can threaten the direct-to-consumer business model and limit the ability of families to purchase food grown locally.

Now these families are joining forces with farmers, ranchers and entrepreneurs to ask Congress for help.

The Small Meat Sector Re-silience Act offers a solution by creating a framework for local meat lockers to ex-pand their operations. This legislation uses cost share programs, technical assis-tance and targeted grants to

increase processing capacity and add additional storage. It also makes it easier for these entrepreneurs to meet state and federal inspection requirements

Higher prices at the gro-cery store have motivated families to look locally for a better deal. Farmers and ranchers cannot meet this demand without increased processing capacity. Right now, the opportunity is slip-ping by.

The Small Meat Sector Resilience Act will boost economic development and help families support local farms. In our book, that is a winning combination for rural communities.

recirculating the air already in the building.

“We’re going to have some big energy bills,” said Brandt.

Making adjustments to the venti-lation at Mora Elementary School is easy. Brandt said the elementary HVAC system is computer operat-ed and easy to see problems occur —most of which are resolved with the click of a button.

The system at the high school is less sophisticated making moni-toring and responding to air issues more complicated.

“At the high school, we’re almost blind,” said Brandt.

In January 2020, the air through-out the Mora High School was tested for concentrations of carbon dioxide. The results were a testa-ment to the diffi culty of the build-ing to circulate fresh air.

In every classroom of the fourth fl oor, CO2 levels exceeded the state’s recommendations of acceptable levels for classrooms of 800-1,200 parts per million. Overall, CO2 levels exceeded 1,200 ppm in one third of the high school building.

Students and staff have also

reported drastic variations in tem-perature throughout the building.

TRANSPORTATIONSchools have also been faced

with providing adequate space between students while riding the bus.

While plans have not been fi nal-ized, Mora schools is considering a staggered schedule between students at the elementary school and students attending the high school.

Tentative plans are for the buses to pick up elementary students fi rst, seating them one per seat, every other seat. Elementary school days would operate starting at 8 a.m.

After dropping them off, buses would run a second route to pick up high school students for their classes to begin at 9 a.m. These students would sit in seats opposite of where the elementary students sat.

The elementary school day would end at 2 p.m., and students returned by bus fi rst. Then buses would return for the high school students at 3 p.m.

Buses would be disinfected be-tween the morning and afternoon

routes and again at the end of the day. This is made easier with some newly purchased equipment.

Brandt said they have purchased two electrostatic disinfection ma-chines that improve disinfection of soft and diffi cult to reach spaces. The machines are in high demand, expensive and diffi cult to procure.

The machines work by apply-ing a positive electric charge to a disinfecting solution, which is sprayed and attracts to negatively charged surfaces. It creates a fast, even coverage of disinfectant.

CLEANING ROUTINESBrandt said cleaning routines

are also changing. Custodial staff will put a higher focus on clean-ing hard surfaces like desks and doorknobs.

Brandt is also working to secure enough equipment to give teachers their own cleaning supplies which they can use to clean as they feel is appropriate between periods or during a prep hour.

These efforts are all to help bring peace of mind to staff, students and their families.

“We’re doing our best,” said Brandt.

Quick and fi lling meal served up in a snapAfter the lazy days of summer, fall

often arrives with packed schedules and everyone getting back on track, whether for work or school. Busy families may not have much time to spend in the kitchen these days, but they don’t need to devote hours to cooking. Even quick meals can serve up signifi cant fl avor.

In the time it takes to boil rice, this recipe for “Creamy Rice With Roasted Shrimp and Tomatoes,” courtesy of “Real Simple Dinner Tonight: Done” (Time Home Entertainment) from the editors of Real Simple, can be put on the table. Arborio rice makes this dish creamy, but if it’s unavailable, long-grain rice also can be used — just follow the package directions for cooking.

CREAMY RICE WITH ROASTED SHRIMP AND TOMATOESServes 4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil1 onion, fi nely chopped1 cup Arborio rice1 cup dry white wine Kosher salt and black

pepper1 pound peeled and deveined

medium shrimp2 pints grape tomatoes8 sprigs fresh thyme2 cloves garlic

Directions:Heat oven to 400 F. Heat

1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the rice and wine and cook, stirring, until the wine is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add 2 cups water and 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the saucepan. Simmer, covered, until

the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the shrimp, tomatoes, thyme, and garlic with the remaining tablespoon of oil and 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve over the rice.

Michael R. StaskivigeMay 21, 1967 — Aug. 5, 2020

Michael Robert Staskivige, of Mora, died peaceful-ly and went home to be with Jesus, at his home on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2020, surrounded by his family. He was 53 years old.

He was born on May 21, 1967, in Grand Rapids, to Bob and Gloria (Berger) Staskivige. He had one sib-ling, Kathy Kaye Staskivige Jones who passed away in 2000. He grew up in Bovey and moved to St. Paul as an adult.

He met his wife, Dawn in 1997. He moved to Mora when they united in mar-riage in 2000. He has been known to say that this is when his life really began. His wife had seven children, who he openly welcomed

into his life. The couple had been married for 20 years.

He had many hobbies including cooking, camping, fi shing and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

He had a complicated health history and always wanted to “not be defi ned by my disability.” He always had a sense of humor and could make “light” of any situation.

He attended Generation Church with his wife and was grateful to fi nd a church he truly felt comfortable in. He knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, where he drew his strength and hope. This provided comfort through his last days.

He was able to spend his fi nal days at his home en-joying many family and friends reminiscing, visiting and of course, telling jokes. He kept us laughing, even on his last days.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Kathy and mother-in-law, Eleanor.

He is survived by his parents, Bob and Gloria Staskivige of Bovey; wife, Dawn; children, Jessica Lanphear of Kauai, Hawaii, Christine Lanphear of Isle, Sharon Lanphear (Russ Buesing) of Grand Rapids, Catherine (Michael) Relitz of Mora, John Lanphear of Cambridge, Paul Lanphear of Mora, Grace Anderson (Timothy Smitley) of St Paul; grand-children, Anabelle, Willow, Jase, Peyton, Savannah, Maverick, Penelope and Evelyn; niece, Sarah Jones and her daughter, Arriana; nephew, Danny (Dara) Jones and soon to be baby Jones; and daughter-in-his-heart, Julia.

He wanted to make sure and tell everyone, “See, I told you I really was sick.”

A funeral service was held on Monday, Aug. 10, 2020, at the Akkerman Ingebrand Funeral Home with Randy Mitchell offi ciating. Burial was in the Oak-wood Cemetery in Mora. Arrangements were by the Akkerman Ingebrand Funeral Home of Mora. Condo-lences may be posted at www.aifuneralhome.com.

Violet E. Anderson-AdamsOct. 12, 1930 — Aug. 9, 2020

Violet Elaine Anderson-Adams (nee. Anderson), of Grasston, died and went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2020. She was 89 years old.

She was born on Oct. 12, 1930, to G.G. and Olive (Erickson) Anderson on the family farm in Comfort

Township, in rural Mora. After attending country school and Grasston High School she graduated from Mora High School in 1947. She went to work in the cit-ies at Toro. It was there that she became friends with Ruby Anderson who intro-duced her to her brother J. Richard. The couple were united in marriage on Sept. 15, 1951, and made their home in Poskin, Wisconsin. They later relocated to their

farm in rural Grasston. Her husband passed away on March 17, 2003, and she married Russell Adams on May 10, 2008. They enjoyed eight years together before he passed away on June 3, 2016.

Besides being a homemaker, wife and mother, she worked as a bookkeeper at the Braham Community Hospital, Kanabec County Hospital, was the clerk/treasurer for the City of Grasston and secretary for the Stanchfi eld Baptist Church. She was active in the Grasston Baptist Church and was the Sunday school secretary for many years.

125 YEARS AGO (1895)The logging road between Mora and

Mille Lacs Lake of which more or less has been conjectured during the past two years is now about to be built. A crew of engineers came on this week who are now surveying the route. Just where the route will terminate we are

not yet able to state. We are told that the road will be built this fall and that 1000 men will be employed in its construction. This new enterprise will have the effect to improve business somewhat and stimulate prices of real estate.

Victor Molander came home from Sand-stone last Saturday. He said the town was dead

and that the boom practically busted. Booms are made to “bust.”

Nels Quick has tired of carrying the mails and sold out his job to L. E. Dennewith of Grass Lake. Some people have an idea that the mails can be transported for nothing but experience has taught them different.

100 YEARS AGO (1920)In a great game Sunday, the Mora

Ball team defeated the Stanchfi eld tossers by the score of 5 - 4. Stanch-fi eld has a strong team along with an excellent battery and put up a stiff fi ght all through the game. Wygant did the hurling for Mora and Frantzke for the losers and both pitched great ball.

The Mora team was greatly strength-ened by the presence of White, Clark and Ahlquist. These old vets played great ball.

The fi rst annual Wilson Highway

Tour is next Wednesday, August 18. The tour will start from Minneapolis Au-gust 18 and take in the three succeed-ing days. Parties leaving Minneapolis will arrive at Cambridge at 12:30 P. M., where a picnic dinner will be served; arrive at Mora about 3:00 P. M., picnic supper and lodging at Isle, Wahkon and Onamia Wednesday night. Dinner at hotels and restaurants at Aitkin 1:00 P. M., Thursday, followed during the day and evening by entertainment given by the Aitkin clubs and associations, with dancing in the new Aitkin pavilion. Friday side trips will be made to Deer-wood on the Cuyuna range, to summer resorts and Nichols and dinner at St. Albans hotel. The return journey Sat-urday afternoon, by various routes, as automobile tourists may select.

75 YEARS AGO (1945)The Ogilvie liquor store was bur-

glarized Tuesday night of last week. A crowbar was used to force open the front door. The burglary was discov-ered when the store opened.

The burglars obtained between $200.00 and $300.00 in cash and a small quantity of liquor.

Sheriff John Sellstedt was notifi ed at once, who made a report to the state bureau of criminal apprehension. Both are working on the case but no clues are available to date.

50 YEARS AGO (1970)There’ll be free sweet corn in Ogilvie

on Friday night next week at the Ogil-vie Commercial club stages it’s “Corn on the Curb” day.

The club set the date as its monthly meeting Monday night. Other business included further talk about a public housing project, discussion of a beef barbeque in October, and preliminary

planning for a second annual Beef Day in February.

Surrounded by horse fl ies, deer fl ies, mosquitoes and a carpet of poison ivy, fi ve St. Cloud State College students, (one of them is Jeff Lewis of Mora,) and an anthropology professor are spend-ing the summer on the threshold of a 20-year treasure hunt. The prizes they seek were buried thousands of years ago.

Richard Lane, assistant professor of anthropology at St. Cloud, has received permission and encouragement from the federal government to excavate any of the 50 or so Indian burial mounds in the refuge. What remains is the slow, methodical process of uncovering the remains of cultures that may date back to about 3000 B.C.

25 YEARS AGO (1995)The U.S. Postal Service again is look-

ing at property along East Minnesota Highway 23, across from Glen’s Tire, as its preferred site on which to build a new Mora post offi ce.

The Coin School, situated at Kana-bec County roads 4 and 16 in southern Brunswick Township for nearly 100 years, has fi nally been relocated to the Kanabec History Center in Mora. The move was completed, after about one year of delays, last Wednesday, Aug. 2. The historic structure will be the KHC’s “working educational building.”
