1947 drowningvictims to be honored Warren - “At 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, at the entrance to the Warren-Alvarado-Oslo High School gymnasi- um, two benches and a planter will be present- ed to WAO School in memory of three young Warren men who lost their lives in June 1947. “The items will be given in memory of Bruce Fulks, L. Deane Fulks and Donald Novak. They were on an FFA charter near Morris Point, Lake of the Woods, when tragedy struck. In a boat to go fishing, they left the Oggren Resort about an hour before the remain- ing nine in the group. “Though there were no witnesses, it has been said that there was a great deal of driftwood floating in the lake due to a terrible storm. It is suspected that their ves- sel struck a large piece of driftwood, which caused one of the men to fall overboard. Recovery attempts led the boat to capsize. All three lost their lives and were eventual- ly recovered. Bruce Fulks, 27, was an agri- culture teacher at Warren High School. His 19-year-old brother, Deane, was a family farmer in Warren. Donald Novak, 17, was a student who lived in Angus. - Warren Sheaf, July 16, 2014, by Hannah Gornowicz LaCoursiere engaged in research Crookston - “In a quiet corner of the lab at the U of M Crookston, senior Emmett LaCoursiere sits engrossed in chemical c o m p u t a t i o n . LaCoursiere finds the work both engaging and beneficial. “The animal science major from Red Lake Falls is working with Assistant Professor Tim Dudley modeling small molecules that mimic biological behavior. For LaCoursiere, the research has implica- tions in the field of ani- mal science as it relates to pharmaceutical use in the medical treatment of animals. “Benzimidazole is the name of the chemical LaCoursiere and fellow student Michael Laurich are investigat- ing. With Dudley guid- ing, the two are respon- sible for all of the calcu- lations, and using both math and physics, the team attempts to predict chemical behaviors when the molecule is altered.” - Red Lake Falls Gazette, July 16, 2014 ● Lake Bronson ● Lancaster ● Halma ● Karlstad ● Badger ● Kennedy ● Donaldson ● Stephen ● Argyle ● Viking ● Warren ● Goodridge ● McIntosh ● Gully ● Trail ● Mentor ● St. Hilaire ● Red Lake Falls ● Fourtown ● Gatzke ● Middle River ● Newfolden ● Holt ● Strathcona ● Greenbush ● Wannaska ● Roseau ● Salol ● Strandquist ● Plummer ● Oklee ● Erskine ● T.R.

The council voted 5 to 1 to uphold City Administrator Larry Kruse’s findings and the Ad Hoc Labor Committee’s findings. Council Member Rachel Prudhomme voted in opposi- tion. Council Member Glen Kajewski abstained. Council Member Jerald Brown was absent from the meeting. After the meeting, Prudhomme declined to comment. Council Member Glen Kajewski said Wednesday that he consid- ers Murphy to be a friend. Murphy’s attorney, Ken Kohler, said he couldn’t com- ment on the outcome. In May, it came to light that many members of the Thief River Falls Police Department issued a vote of no confidence in Murphy’s abilities as police chief. That vote was delivered in January and came to light after an interview by Mayor Jim Dagg on the radio pro- gram “River Currents.” Murphy announced his retirement Feb. 18 and is scheduled to retire Oct. 3. The Parks and Recreation/Public Safety Committee is scheduled to meet Monday, July 21 with its consultant regarding the hiring process. In separate earlier inter- views, Dagg and Kruse told the Northern Watch that the matter is a personnel matter and is confidential. Kruse referred to the vote as a com- plaint, saying that his office researched the complaint and found the allegations were unsubstantiated. The Ad Hoc Labor Committee arrived at the same conclu- sion. The council resolution upholds those decisions, which had been appealed to the council by someone other than Murphy. This marked the end of the appeals process. The resolution came an hour and 40 minutes after the council closed its Beekeeper Gary Lane helped a swarm of bees migrate into a beehive box outside of Aric and Crista Attig’s home in Thief River Falls. A swarm of bees congregated onto the Attigs’ mailbox Thursday, July 17 and later moved onto the lawn. Police were dispatched to the scene. Dispatch also called Lane to remove the bees. Lane said a worker bee typically finds a suitable location. Other bees follow. They like to hang onto objects. Lane expected to remove the box after dark since he didn’t know the location of the queen. Century Farm to be honored on Sunday Outstanding Seniors honored by April Scheinoha Reporter by Scott DCamp Reporter The Olson farm in Hickory Township will offi- cially be recognized as a Century Farm this weekend at the Pennington County Fair. A ceremony has been scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Bus Garage following the Fashion Review and 4-H Awards Program on Sunday, July 20. John Olson was born in Norway in 1869. He came to the United States with his wife Gunvor (Tveitbakk) and son Ole in 1892, and settled near Fisher. The Olson fami- ly moved to Garnes Township, Red Lake County, in 1901 because the area near Fisher wasn’t wet enough for trapping. In 1904, they moved again ... this time to Section 7 in Hickory Township, Red Lake County, where they home- steaded. John and Gunvor had 10 children, Ole, Halvor, Tom, Annie, Arne, Henry, Ben, Johnnie, Emma and Olaf. Both of John and Gunvor’s daughters and two sons, Ben and Arne, married and left the family farm. The remaining six brothers stayed on the farm and Olson Bros. Farm was the farm’s name for many years. The six Olsons farmed alongside their father until his death in 1940. Gunvor died in 1954. Over the years, the family Brittany Johnson, left, and Cyrina Ostgaard were crowned Miss Thief River Falls and Miss Riverfest, respectively, Tuesday night. Johnson is the 65th Miss Thief River Falls and Ostgaard is the first Miss Riverfest. Pageant winners crowned by Scott DCamp Reporter It was a milestone edition of one pageant and the first of another. The 65th anniversary Miss Thief River Falls Pageant and inaugural Miss Riverfest Pageant were held Tuesday, July 15 at the Lincoln High School Auditorium. Brittany Johnson, Thief River Falls, was crowned the 65th Miss Thief River Falls following Tuesday night’s scholarship pageant. In addition to the Miss Thief River Falls crown and sash, Johnson will receive a $1,000 scholarship, an Artistry Makeup gift pack- age, crown pin, competing entry into the Miss Minnesota 2015 competi- tion, and a one-semester tuition waiver at Northland Community & Technical College. Johnson’s platform is “Save a Limb, Save a Life – Vascular Disease.” For the talent competition, she per- formed a figure skating rou- tine while wearing roller blades in place of traditional ice skates. Johnson is cur- rently attending NCTC East Grand Forks, where she will obtain her associates degree in surgical technology while also pursuing a degree as a registered nurse. Her long- term goal is to work in the operating rooms of the Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.

It’s only fitting that he was Miss TRF and Riverfest crowned Olson farm joins select number of farms in Pennington County (Continued on Page 6) (Continued on Page 7) (Continued on Page 11) (Continued on Page 7) (Continued on Page 6) Joyce Kron Dale Svendsgaard Brittany Johnson and Cyrina Ostgaard win the crowns by April Scheinoha Reporter A former Thief River Falls man pled guilty Tuesday, July 15 in Kittson County District Court to soliciting a sheriff ’s deputy posing as a teenage girl online. Online court documents i n d i c a t e d that Marty D a l e Johnson, 52, Wa s k i s h , pled guilty to three f e l o n y charges as part of a plea agree- ment. Those charges are soliciting a child/someone believed to be a child through electronic communi- cation to engage in sexual conduct, engaging in elec- tronic communication relat- ing or describing sexual con- duct with a child, and dis- tributing via electronic com- munication material that relates/describes sexual con- duct to a child. Sentencing has been set for Tuesday, Oct. 7. According to the com- plaint, Johnson responded to an ad on Craigslist placed by a Kittson County sheriff ’s deputy posing as a 15-year- old girl named Breanna. In part, the Aug. 5 ad read that the girl was new to the area and was “lookin’ to do pretty much anything.” Johnson allegedly “responded to the ad and steered the conversation toward discussions of sexual conduct and sexual contact.” While corresponding with him, the deputy identified himself as a 15-year-old girl. The graphic, sexual conver- sations continued with Johnson attempting to engage in a sexual relation- ship with the girl. The correspondence con- tinued through Thursday, Jan. 30. Toward the end of the correspondence, he told the girl that he was sending her a gift. The package was sent to a post office box in Hallock and contained items related to sexual acts. On Jan. 30, the deputy and Chief Deputy Steve Porter interviewed Johnson outside of the Dairy Queen in Thief River Falls. Johnson owns the business. The complaint indicated that he asked to speak with an attorney after being read the Miranda warning. Two search warrants were served, including one on his home and one on Dairy Queen. Johnson allegedly responded that he knew that he did something wrong from the beginning. Johnson also asked to tell his employees what was occurring. A deputy accom- panied him since he was under arrest. Once inside, Johnson spoke with the manager. In front of the deputy, he allegedly said he sexually harassed “a young girl in Hallock which turned out to be a police officer.” He also admitted to making inappropriate sexual refer- ences and sending her a toy.

While Aric was at practice, he received a phone call from his neighbor Orley Gunderson. Orley left a message, stating bees were around Aric’s mail- box. Aric thought there were five or six bees and expected to spray them once he got home. Then Orley called back, stating the swarm was growing. Police were called, and beekeeper Gary Lane removed them from the premises. DEATH NOTICES facebook.com/trftimes Page 4 NORTHERN WATCH Saturday, July 19, 2014 Dave Hill, Editor ~ e-mail:
[email protected] EDITORIAL OPINIONS Editorial opinion published under this head ing is intended to stimu- late 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 editor’s own views but are offered for their general interest. Turning up the heat If weather forecasters are correct, and we’ll give them the benefit of a coin toss, the heat is about to be turned back on. When the heat gets turned on outside, you can bet we’ll hear about it. Unfortunately, we’ll hear more about children and pets being left in vehicles, too. According to WebMD, there have already been deaths of children in cars this year. More than 500 children have died in hot cars since 1998, according to the nonprofit organization, Kids and Cars. Children’s bodies overheat more eas- ily than adults. They absorb more heat on a hot day and don’t have the same sweating ability as adults. That can raise their body temperature to dan- gerous and even fatal levels, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Don’t brush off the warnings as non- sense. It could happen to you. It hap- pens to people who say that it couldn’t happen to them all the time. The results of a recent survey, pub- lished on the SafeKids.org website stated that: • 14 percent of parents have intentionally left their children in a parked car. • 11 percent of parents admit to forgetting their child in a car. • Nearly one in four parents of a child younger than 3 has forgotten the child in a car. • Dads are nearly three times more likely than moms to leave a child in a parked car. Not all deaths were caused because people forgot. Some parents believe cracking the window will make the car cool enough. How do we prevent these deaths from happening? Experts have a lot to say about it, but so do some non- experts. Putting something on the back seat as a reminder isn't a new idea. Safety groups have been pushing it for years telling people to put something you will need when you reach your destination. You may not have your laptop or purse with you, but you always have a shoe, so one suggestion is to put your left shoe in the back seat when you put your kid in the back. Eleven-year-old Andrew Pelham of Nashville won second place in the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors by inventing a device that reminds parents children are still in the car. The device, which is basically a strap or rubberband that stretches from the back seat to the front and attaches to the driver's side door, reminds drivers of the child in the back. Another group wants car seat manu- facturers and automakers to develop and implement technology to detect children forgotten in car seats. Automakers say cost, technology, lia- bility and privacy issues prevent them from developing a system. There’s still no foolproof way today to prevent overheating deaths or of devices that warn us of the possibility before it happens. The risk is yours, and if you mess up, the cost is pretty high.

Outstanding Seniors Joyce Kron, outstanding senior/Continued Svendsgaard, outstanding senior/Continued (Continued from Page 1) Pennington County Outstanding Senior. Joyce and fellow Thief River Falls resident Dale Svendsgaard were honored Friday, July 18 as the 2014 Pennington County Outstanding Seniors. “I think it’s a great honor. I certainly didn’t give it any thought,” Joyce said. However, she tried to con- vince Glenice Johnson that she didn’t qualify for the honor. Joyce qualified, and Glenice nominated her any- way. Glenice noted Joyce is a great example of an older woman who continues to vol- unteer despite any limita- tions that she may face. Over the years, Joyce has volunteered with a variety of groups. “It becomes a way of life because you enjoy it, it’s doing good,” she said. Joyce has volunteered at the Thief River Falls United Methodist Church, Northwest Dairy Day and the Marshall County Historical Society. She also volunteered with the now- defunct Viking Town and Country Garden Club. Glenice said Joyce still finds the time to attend the Pennington County Master Gardeners workshop each year in an effort to learn something new. Step outside Joyce’s apartment and it’s apparent she knows a few things about gardening. Joyce continues to volun- teer with the Rosewood Homemakers. She recalled learning about such newfan- gled things as pressure cook- ers and microwaves, and then teaching others about such machines. The latest lesson she taught was on gluten-free food. Teaching has been a part of Joyce’s life for many years. She taught in one- room, rural schools in Pennington and Marshall counties. After the youngest of her four children began attending grade school, Joyce renewed her teaching certification at Northland College. Joyce then taught as a substitute teacher at Viking Elementary School until her late husband, Bert, retired. Their family now includes six grandchildren and four great-grandchil- dren. (Continued from Page 1) honored at this year’s fair. Dale and fellow Thief River Falls resident Joyce Kron were honored Friday, July 18 as the 2014 Pennington County Outstanding Seniors. Dale couldn’t believe it when he learned about the honor. He said other people were more worthy of it. That’s not to say that he’s unhappy about the award. Soon after learning about the award, he called his sib- lings to tell them about the award. Other family mem- bers now tease him about being royalty. He takes the teasing in stride, smiling about the honor. Dale received the award for his volunteerism. “He’s just a very, very active 80- year-old,” said his daughter- in-law Krista Svendsgaard, who nominated him for the award. She is married to Dale’s son, Kyle. Dale and his late wife, Janice, have three other kids – Lydell, Twyla and Krystal (deceased) – and six grand- children. Dale volunteers with the Goodridge Lions Club and the Pennington County Fair Board. As part of Winterfest, Dale has also shaved his hair into a mohawk the past two years to raise money for the Pennington County Relay For Life. Each year, he has raised $300 or more. Dale has also been known to donate homemade minia- ture barns for fundraisers. He has even purchased and eaten anchovies in order to have a small container that could double as an animal’s trough for a miniature barn. In case anyone is wondering, Dale probably won’t be eat- ing anchovies anytime soon. He’s not a fan. Dale’s volunteerism took root during his time in the Mavie 4-H Club. He joined the club at the age of 8. He showed livestock and pigs at the fair. As time went on, Dale served as the auction- eer at a club basket social. Boys had the opportunity to bid on a prepared lunch bas- ket and eat it with the girl who made the basket. An auctioning career soon blos- somed. Besides working as an auctioneer in adulthood, Dale also worked as a bus driver – chauffeuring stu- dents to and from school, visitors to and from places of interest, and the public to wherever they needed to go. Dale technically retired from auctioneering in the late 1980s. However, he con- tinues to volunteer his time as an auctioneer for volun- teer causes. Among the caus- es are the Pennington County Fair 4-H Livestock Auction, the Goodridge Lions Club Smelt Fry, the Goodridge Lion Tamers Pie Auction, the Goodridge Area Fire and Rescue fundraiser, Winterfest and a Healthcare Heroes Relay For Life Team fundraiser. As Dale put it, he likes auctioneering and it’s hard to quit.

New For 2014 FREE Spectator Admission! FREE Shuttle to & from Riverfest Events by Heidi Hughes Three watershed district members of the Red River Watershed Management Board participated in a panel discussion about what local watersheds are doing to meet basin-wide goals for flood damage reduction in the Red River Valley. The panel was part of the Third Annual Minnesota Ag Water Issues Forum held at the Jim Kukowski Farm in Strathcona on Wednesday, July 16. The panel included Tracy Halstensgard of the Roseau River Watershed District, Dan Money of the Two Rivers Watershed District, and Nick Drees of the Mi ddl e- Snake- Tamarac Rivers Watershed District. They reviewed water man- agement projects in their districts, explained how local flood damage reduction projects are developed and implemented, and encour- aged landowners to get involved in water issues and participate in the project team process. The panel also answered questions about retention, tiling and ditch systems. John Finney, president of the Red River Watershed Management Board, provid- ed a history of flood damage reduction efforts in the Valley and explained the role water retention plays in achieving the 20 percent flow reduction goal for the Red River Basin. Don Baloun, state conser- vationist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, reviewed what has been accomplished through NRCS funding and said there is no “silver bullet” for flood damage reduction. He discussed retention, wet- lands mitigation banks, con- servation partnerships, funding for drain tile control structures and other compo- nents of the new Farm Bill. The forum was sponsored by the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation and Northwest Minnesota County Farm Bureaus, the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center, the Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers, Red River Valley Sugar Beet Growers, Minnesota Corn Growers Association and the MN Soybean Growers Association. Hams graduates from Central Lakes Red Lake Falls resident Ethan Hams has received a diploma of occupational pro- ficiency in occupational skills from Central Lakes College.

Pictured clockwise from top left are some of the farm’s owners: John and G u n v o r (Tveitbakk) Olson, who homesteaded in Hickory Township in 1904; Above: Olaf (John’s youngest son) and Alverra (Brumwell) Olson; and Left: Myles (Olaf’s oldest son), Janice, and their children, Sara and Erick. (Submitted) Celebrating a century The Olson Century Farm/Continued (Continued from Page 1) continued to acquire farm land and the farm grew close to 4,000 acres at one point. For a while, all six brothers lived and worked from the original farm site. That began to change in 1925, when the Olsons purchased the Duane Wojnarowski farm. Ole, Tom, Henry and Olaf stayed at the original home- stead, while Halvor and Johnnie moved to the Wojnarowski site. In the 1950s, Tom and Henry moved to the Wojnarowski site and they were joined by Ole in the 1960s. “Each brother had his own house at the other site, but they still ate together each night,” said Janice Olson, daughter-in-law of Olaf Olson. “Interesting group of peo- ple,” said Myles Olson, Olaf ’s oldest son. “Some things you don’t want to put in print. They could be fight- ing all day but they’d eat together each night.” Of the six brothers who continued working on the family farm, Olaf was the only one who married. Olaf married Alverra Brumwell in 1946 and they remained at the original homestead, where Olaf built a house next to the house where he was born.” “He actually died within a hundred feet of where he was born,” Myles said. The six Olson brothers were all farmers and trap- pers. During the winter months, some of the broth- ers would go east to Northome or Kelliher to work in logging camps. Others would stay home to continue trapping and care for the cattle or other live- stock. The Olsons had both dairy and beef operations over the years, with a couple hundred head of cattle; and they even had a sheep herd at one point. The family got out of beef farming in the 1960s. They continued to grow crops until Olaf ’s retirement from farming in the 1970s. Since Olaf ’s retirement, the farmland has either been enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program or rented out. Following Olaf ’s death in 1999, the Olson farm was split into two properties, with Wayne and Myles. Over the past century, farms like the Olson farm have seen a lot of changes. One of the biggest was the size of the typical farm fam- ily. Myles noted that it was common for families to have around 10 children because of the amount of manual labor required. As farms became more mechanized, the size of the typical farm family grew smaller. “As the oldest son, it seemed like once you were old enough to walk, you were behind the wheel of a trac- tor,” Myles joked. When Myles got out of the military, he already knew he wasn’t going to make farm- ing his career. But he still planned to have a hobby farm. He wanted to plant a potato patch and tried two or three plows before finding one that worked well enough to break ground. Then he tried to disc his freshly turned soil, which was also a battle. “Everything was broken,” Myles said, adding that his father and his uncles would buy a piece of equipment and use it until it was com- pletely shot. “At one point, I counted 13 different Model A’s sitting behind a barn. They kept everything for parts.” Janice said she and her husband continue to operate a small hobby farm. “What we have out there now is hobby equipment that’s much larger than anything they ever had.” Myles said he has no intentions of selling the farm. It will stay in the fam- ily and eventually go to fourth generation owners and children of Myles and Janice, Sara and Erick. Accepting the centry farm award will be Myles and Janice Olson. Police Chief complaint/Continued (Continued from Page 1) meeting to the public. Murphy and his attorney met with the council for about 10 minutes of the closed meeting. In June, issues with the Law Enforcement Center evidence storage vault came to light during a Parks and Recreation/Public Safety Committee meeting. At that time, the Northern Watch and Thief River Falls Radio obtained documents pertain- ing to problems with secur- ing evidence at the LEC. In September 2013, Kruse sent a letter of reprimand to Police Chief Kim Murphy for failing to properly moni- tor three firearms, which had gone missing. Two have since been found. In an earlier interview with the Northern Watch, Murphy said the third weapon remains missing and continues to be part of an ongoing investigation spearheaded by Deputy Police Chief Craig Mattson. As part of the reprimand, Kruse wrote that Murphy shouldn’t have removed the guns from the locked evi- dence vault to his unlocked closet that could be accessed by anyone. Kruse indicated that it was believed the guns were moved to make room in the evidence storage vault. An inventory of the vault had been conducted earlier. According to the letter of reprimand, Sgt. Doug Williams found six weapons had been confiscated as part of a felony case and were now missing. Two were located in a closet locker in Murphy’s office. Another gun was found in an unspec- ified location. Murphy later told the Northern Watch that two other weapons have been returned to their right- ful owner. Two other firearms had been confiscated following suicides. One was found in Murphy’s closet locker. The other had been there at one time but was later moved to the trunk of the unmarked administrative squad car. According to the reprimand, Murphy said he took the gun out of the trunk and then brought it back to the LEC, where he placed it into the closet locker. He said the family gave the gun to law enforcement for animal con- trol purposes. As part of the reprimand, Kruse also directed Murphy to develop procedures regarding “stale evidence.” He went on to note that the evidence vault has been a concern for a long time and a lot of the older evidence pre- ceded Murphy’s time on the force. He wrote that efforts were already under way to improve the procedure. In a June interview with the Northern Watch, Murphy said the depart- ment is continually review- ing the evidence vault and the department’s procedure pertaining to securing evi- dence. He said the depart- ment is also working on get- ting the proper training for handling the evidence vault. facebook.com/trftimes Saturday, July 19, 2014 NORTHERN WATCH Page 7 Pennington County Humane Society PO Box 64 • TRF Please Spay Or Neuter Your Pet.

[email protected] www.sandwickortho.com Rural Reflections Grant Nelson The comments published in this column are intended to stimulate thinking and discussion among our readers. They are written by independent columnists and do not represent the opinion of the staff or management of The Times/Northern Watch. Summer hotdish I’ve said my columns are sometimes well-planned meals and sometimes hasti- ly-prepared hotdish. I hope you like hotdish. First off, the benefit for my brother, Steve Nelson, went great. The benefit was held last Sunday at Viking School. I have attended sev- eral epic intramural basket- ball clashes between the Viking Trotters and the Newfolden Dragons at this same elementary gymnasi- um, and attendance for these matches would not even come close to the num- ber who came to support Steve. Small towns may be small in size, but they are massive in heart. I think one incredible fact of the benefit is that fully one-third of the Class of 1975 came to sup- port one of their own. My unofficial estimate is that we served sloppy joes to approximately 550 people. We are so thankful to those who gave support to this benefit; words fall short. The second item I plan to throw into the mix is a recent purchase. I walked into Quality Farm Supply the other day and was offered a new cattle gadget. I like gadgets, but can usually resist them but not when you justify the gadget with application to cattle. Then, my resistance is futile. The “Vetgun” is basically a paint- ball gun that shoots extra- large balls of insecticide at your cattle. The insecticide lasts about three to six weeks and leaves a colored dot to show which animals are protected. It delivers the insecticide ball at fairly slow speed so as not to hurt the animal from a distance of 15 to 30 feet. I think most cattle people hate handling their animals because it is stress- ful for everyone - even if you have a good corral. With the “Vetgun,” I can just wander amongst the cattle and deliver three to six weeks of fly resistance. Plus, let’s be honest about this, it’s kind of fun. I have spent the last sev- eral years working toward a goal of comfort for my cattle. Comfortable cattle are more productive, but I would want them comfortable whether it makes money or not. This week, my efforts should really pay off. A few years back, we installed a water delivery system that pro- vides cold water at a mini- mal walking distance. Last winter, I built portable shade structures so that our cattle could stay on pasture during the summer’s heat, yet stay comfortable. Our use of fly predators has greatly reduced horn flies and my hope is that the use of my “Vetgun” will be a fur- ther reduction in the insects that bother cattle. As sum- mer returns with heat and humidity, you might feel it is just plain hot. I hope that I will bask in the warmth of happy cows and a plan that has truly worked out. My words were pretty simple fare this week; I like to keep my columns easy to digest in this heat. They’ll probably go down a little easier than those corn dogs and jalapeno poppers from the fair. Free depression, anxiety recovery program planned A one-hour introductory session for the Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program will be held Sunday, July 20, at 7 p.m. at Open Arms Christian Fellowship, 401 St. Paul Ave. S., Thief River Falls. The introductory session is free and open to the public. Interested persons are invit- ed to attend. Developed by Neil Nedley, MD, this DVD-based pro- gram consists of eight week- ly meetings.

[email protected]. Boes named Marshall County Emerging Leaders Darby and Amanda Boe have been chosen as the Marshall County represen- tatives to the Red River Valley Emerging Leadership Program. The Boes, along with par- ticipants from 18 other counties in the northwest and west central Minnesota, will attend four education sessions between November 2014 and April 2015. They will be challenged to come back to their community to continue their positive role as leaders in this region. Darby and Amanda reside near Warren with their two daughters. Darby is a vice president at Bremer Bank in Warren and Amanda is the clinical informatics lead at North Valley Health Center in Warren. The RRVELP was devel- oped in 1985 by a small group of people who felt there was a need to help individuals develop their leadership potential. The program was founded on the idea that effective leader- ship can be learned and those leaders grow into posi- tion of leadership, motivated by a sense of responsibility for themselves and their communities. Darby and Amanda Boe have been selected as Marshall County’s representatives to the Red River Valley Emerging Leadership Program.

Catcher Cole Larson came to the mound for a talk with Jerod Nelson when the Thief River Falls starting pitch- er ran into early-game trouble in a Wednesday Northwest Border League amateur baseball playoff series opener against Roseau. Northwest Border playoffs... Roseau takes series opener Strong pitching and solid hitting carried No. 2-seeded Roseau to a one-sided 9-0 win over No. 3 Thief River Falls Wednesday in the opening game of the 2014 Minnesota Amateur Baseball Association Northwest Border League playoff series. Royals pitcher Logan Hulst limited the Thieves to four hits while striking out nine and walking four in the nine-inning match-up at the Multi-Events Center. Game 2 in the best-of- three series will be Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Roseau. A third game, if needed, would be back in Roseau at the same time the next night. The other league playoff series matches the top-seed- ed Warroad Muskies and the No. 4 seed Crookston Reds. The teams are vying for positions in the MABA Class C Region 10 playoff field that also includes Norman- Polk members Ada Athletics, Bemidji Blue Ox, Fertile Bees and Moorhead Spartans. Roseau, twice a winner in three regular season starts against Thief River Falls, is 18-6. The Thieves fell to 5-7. Originally scheduled as the final regular season game for both teams, the Wednesday match-up was instead used as a playoff opener since results would not have altered their post- season seeding positions. The Royals gained control early. The first three Roseau batters opened the game with hits, including a two- run Nathan Voll double. A bases-loaded walk and wild pitch doubled the score- board spread in the third inning. It became an 8-0 game in the fourth inning when Joey Benke came up with a bases- loaded single and Voll drove in two more runs with another double – this one to the right field fence – then scored himself on two throw- ing errors on the same pick- off play. The Royals tacked on a ninth inning run to finish it off. Scoring r h e Roseau...........202 400 001 - 9 7 1 TRF.................000 000 000 - 0 4 1 Pitching - (Roseau) Logan Hulst- W, 9 IP; (TRF) Jerod Nelson-L, 4 IP; Andy Eggreser 4 IP; Lars Brevik 1 IP. Offensive highlights - (Roseau) Nathan Voll 2/3, 2 doubles, 4 RBI; Joey Benke 2/4, double, RBI; (TRF) Garret Carlson, Dillon Carlson, Cory Schmitz, Cole Larson 1 hit each. Roseau pitcher Logan Hulst shut out Thief River Falls 9-0 Wednesday to open the best-of-three Minnesota Amateur Baseball Association Northwest Border League playoff series. The lefthander gave up just four hits while striking out nine and walking four in the nine-inning game at the Multi-Events Center. Fargo sweeps doubleheader vs. TRF squad A Game 1 blowout and a Game 2 cliffhanger both went to Fargo Post 2 in a Tuesday American Legion baseball doubleheader against Thief River Falls at Jack Williams Stadium. Fargo had 14 runs on the board after just two innings and went on to a one-sided 20-0 victory in the opener. In stark contrast, the nightcap was a down-to-the- wire 2-1 affair. The winners scored both of their runs in the third inning and again kept Thief River Falls off the score- board until the visitors came up with a sixth inning run. Thief River Falls threat- ened to tie the game with a triple to lead off the top of the seventh. However, relief pitcher Andrew Lein struck out the side to end the game. Tr adi t i onal l y- st r ong Fargo is the defending North Dakota state champi- on. The losses dropped Thief River Falls to 10-10 heading into a scheduled Thursday doubleheader at Moorhead that preceeded a regular season-ending appearance at the Friday-to-Sunday Detroit Lakes Invitational.

(Submitted) – Question of the Week – Q: How many watercraft inspectors does the DNR hire to check for invasive species? A: Our goal is to hire 100 Level 1 watercraft inspec- tors and 46 Level 2 water- craft inspectors each season. Level 2 inspectors not only inspect boats and equip- ment for aquatic invasive species, but can decontami- nate watercraft using hot high-pressure washers. DNR watercraft inspectors will work at more than 250 public water access sites this season. The DNR also partners with local units of govern- ment so that they can hire their own watercraft inspec- tors. So far this season, we have trained more than 300 of these local inspectors. --Heidi Wolf, watercraft inspection program coordi- nator Page 10 NORTHERN WATCH Saturday, July 19, 2014 201 LaBree Ave. N. • Thief River Falls • 681-3914 Store Hours Monday - Friday • 9-6 Thursday • 9-7 Saturday • 9-5 VISIT US ON THE WEB www.popplersfurniture.com Popplers Home Furnishings (1939-2014) ANNIVERSARY SALE-A-BRATION!

Steve Hall and Shotgun Red to appear at fair One of RFDTV’s most popular shows is coming to the Marshall County Fair on Friday, July 25 at 6 p.m. Shotgun Red is a puppet best known as a co-host for the television talk show “Nashville Now,” which aired from 1983-93 on The Nashville Network. Often appearing alongside the show’s host, Ralph Emery, Shotgun Red was voiced by Steve Hall, a native of Brainerd. The puppet, best recog- nized for his large gray mus- tache and straw cowboy hat, was discovered by Hall in a Minnesota hobby shop in 1980. Hall first used Shotgun Red as the emcee for his band at the time, Southbound ’76. After trav- eling to Nashville to compete in the final round of The Seagram's 7 Battle of the Bands Contest, Hall and Shotgun "crashed" Ralph Emery's local morning TV show. Ralph fell in love with the little puppet and later made him his co-host on Nashville Now. The puppet remains a part of Steve Hall's Shotgun Red Band, which operates out of the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater and tours periodi- cally. The Shotgun Red Variety Show airs on RFDTV each week on Thursdays at 4 p.m. and Sundays at 12 p.m. Steve Hall and Shotgun Red will perform Friday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at the Marshall County Fair in Warren. (Submitted) Due to this unusually wet year, the Roseau County Historical Society project to repair the Pinecreek Log Church at the Roseau Pioneer Farm has become much more expensive than expected. Work will not con- tinue until more money can be raised. The goal is to honor the first Pinecreek pioneers by restoring the building, as close as possible to its origi- nal appearance, so it can be enjoyed by their descen- dants and future genera- tions. The first settlers of Pinewood included Lars (Lewis) C. Rugland, Arne Knutson, Ole Kompelien, Anders Lund and Nels Besserud. Donations can be dropped off at the Roseau County Museum in the City Center Building, or mailed to 121 Center St. E. #101, Roseau, MN 56751. Please make a note stating that your dona- tion is to go to the Pinecreek Log Church Fund. When the building is again weathertight, organiz- ers hope to hang photos of the original Pinecreek fami- lies, along with history of the church building, the first built in Roseau County.

Lane was called to remove a swarm of bees that had congregated on the Attigs’ mail- box and lawn. He said a worker bee typically finds a suit- able location.

[email protected] [email protected] Roseau seniors honored during recognition banquet The 2014 Roseau County Outstanding Senior Citizen Volunteer Award winners are Harriet Heinen of Warroad and William “Bill” Wagner of Greenbush. They were honored at the 42nd A n n u a l R o s e a u C o u n t y S e n i o r C i t i z e n Vo l unt e e r Recognition Banquet on Thur s day, July 17 at R o s e L u t h e r a n Church of r u r a l R o s e a u . They will also be hon- ored at Church Night of the Roseau County Fair on Sunday, July 20. Harriet Heinen was born on May 22, 1934. She and her husband, George (Joe), raised their family on their mink farm west of Warroad. Harriet was always very involved in her community and after her retirement from teaching, she continued to be active in the Warroad Area Community Center, Roseau County Fair, 4-H, Roseau County Historical Society, and the list goes on. Through the local Red Cross, she helped establish the ambulance service in Warroad. Also through the Red Cross, she has helped in times of disaster, both local- ly and around the country. As busy as these activities keep Harriet, she does not forget the small things. A friend said, “Harriet’s home- made buns seem to just appear to the sick and those in need of a loving touch. It’s the little things that make her so loved and highly regarded in the community and among her friends.” William “Bill” Wagner was born on October 10, 1938. Bill grew up on a farm near Middle River and he and his w i f e , Shirley, set- tled in Greenbush in 1992, where both w e r e employed at L i f e C a r e Greenbush Manor. He r e t i r e d from the Mai n- t en- ance Department there in 2009. He and Shirley con- tinued to volunteer there just as they had done while working. Bill is always willing to share his talents as a singer, and he and his group has performed at countless nurs- ing homes, senior centers and churches. Bill is active in the Greenbush-Badger Lions Club. The club pur- chases reading machines for the visually impaired and Bill has assisted many peo- ple to obtain machines and get them running. Bill is also active in Oiland Free Lutheran Church. A friend said, “Bill fulfills each role with enthu- siasm. Bill’s closing advice often includes the following thoughts: ‘God is and has been good! Trust in Him.’” Both winners are invited to attend the 2014 Minnesota State Fair and the Outstanding Senior Citizen Volunteer Award Ceremony which will be held on Senior Citizen Recognition Day, Thursday, Aug. 28. The 2014 Senior Citizen Volunteer Awards are spon- sored by the Roseau County Fair Board, the Minnesota State Fair, the Minnesota State Fair Foundation and the Minnesota Federation of County Fairs.
