Construction of 

library addition 

to begin in 2013 

Warren - “Godel 

Memorial Library is 

bursting at the seams. 

The building, constructed 

in 1975 and owned by 

the city of Warren, has 

served the area well for 

many years. 

“Since that time, computers 

and additional 

shelving for books, audio 

books and movies have 

been added to the 

library. The number of 

programs provided by 

the library has also 

expanded greatly. Book 

deliveries are made to 

daycare centers in 

Warren and Argyle as 

well as to senior centers 

in Warren, Stephen and 

Oslo. 

“After studying the 

situation, the Godel 

Memorial Library Board 

and the Warren City 

Council have decided 

that adding onto the 

existing library and 

remodeling its interior 

will make it a better 

place for anyone using 

the library. 

“The 1,600 square 

feet of new space will 

include additional shelving 

for books and other 

library materials; space 

for small group meetings; 

tables and chairs 

for working, studying 

and reading; and comfortable 

seating by a 

new fireplace. The current 

space will be 

remodeled and 

rearranged to provide 

six computer stations, 

new library furniture 

and handicapped-accessible 

restrooms. 

“The total cost of this 

project is estimated to 

be $226,000. This estimated 

cost doesn’t 

include window treatments, 

audiovisual 

equipment or any other 

equipment or items 

needed to finish the 

project. 

So far, $191,000 in 

grants and donations 

have been raised. The 

library board wants to 

raise an additional 

$43,000. - Warren Sheaf, 

Dec. 26, 2012 

Students shop to 

benefit others 

Erskine - “Win-E- 

Mac fifth graders 

recently learned a little 

about food sales and 

pricing differences 

between generic and 

brand name products 

along with a lot about 

helping the less fortunate 

during this 

Christmas season.” 

“Instead of the usual 

gift exchange, they 

donated money toward a 

shopping spree for the 

Grace Lutheran Food 

Shelf. 

“Fifth grade teachers 

Augusta Maruska and 

Ian Hanson said their 

students were able to 

buy about $106 worth of 

groceries.” - The Erskine 

Echo, Dec. 27, 2012 

Changes 

at Human 

Services 

Julie Sjostrand 

is hired as 

social service

Reporter 

The year 2012 will go

the Pennington County 

Department of Human 

Services.

Financial 

Assistance 

Supervisor Deb Waterworth 

announced her retirement. 

Waterworth spent 39 years 

with Pennington County 

DHS, including the previous 

27 years as the agency’s 

financial assistance supervisor. 

Ken Yutrzenka, director 

of human services, was confident 

in the collective ability 

of the agency’s financial 

assistance and social service 

employees to function without 

supervisors during the 

hiring process, but he admitted 

that there were some 

concerns. 

“They are integral parts,” 

Yutrzenka said. “The units 

certainly have the expertise 

in assistance or social service, 

but those were big shoes 

to fill.” 

Filling those shoes are 

new Social Service 

Supervisor Julie Sjostrand, 

Lancaster; and new 

Financial Assistance 

Supervisor Kathleen 

Herring, Newfolden, who 

will be featured in next 

weekend’s edition of The 

Northern Watch. 

Julie Sjostrand 

Originally from 

Ellendale, N.D., Sjostrand 

moved to Lancaster in 1989. 

She worked in Roseau as a 

school social worker for 22 

years. From 1990-98, her 

position was shared in a coop 

with Greenbush, Badger, 

Middle River and Roseau 

schools. Starting in the fall 

of 1998, she spent all of her 

time in the Roseau School 

District. Sjostrand also 

spent 14 summers working 

for Roseau County Human 

Services. 

In November 2011, 

Sjostrand left the school district 

and took a job with 

The festive atmosphere of the Evergreen Eating Emporium in Thief River Falls made the 

community Christmas Eve Dinner even more special. Hundreds of area residents took 

advantage of the event. Lisa Robson, owner of the Evergreen, said she had an overwhelming 

response from businesses wanting to donate food and local citizens who wanted to 

volunteer their time. “The kindness in our community is overwhelming,” said Robson. 

Train delay causes headaches for motorists 

Many motorists were 

delayed by a train 

Wednesday afternoon in the 

city of Thief River Falls. 

Some motorists waited as 

long as an hour since all of 

the railroad crossings were 

blocked in the city. 

“We were taking a lot of 

phone calls and making a lot 

of phone calls at the same 

time to try to figure it out,” 

(Continued on Page 9) 

said Police Chief Kim 

Murphy. 

Murphy eventually 

reached a rail official in the 

Twin Cities, who informed 

him that the railcars had to 

be switched. They apparently 

weren’t in the correct 

order according to transportation 

guidelines. 

Murphy said the majority 

of city railroad crossings 

were blocked while the railcars 

were being switched. 

He noted one caller reported 

that she was able to drive 

about three blocks at one 

time but then had to wait for 

the train again. 

Murphy said he was told 

rail officials would look into 

the incident to ensure no 

federal or state transportation 

laws were violated. 

Creating music 

Orchestra and Band combine for performance 

The fall recognition assembly, held Friday, Dec. 21 at Lincoln High School in Thief 

River Falls, provided a rare opportunity for the LHS Concert Band and Orchestra to 

perform together. The combined ensemble was directed by Katie Hahn. 

Coming together 

Minnesota state statute 

indicates that rail companies 

aren’t permitted to 

block railroad crossings “by 

a standing car, train, engine 

or other railroad equipment, 

or by a switching movement 

which continuously blocks a 

crossing for longer than 10 

minutes.” The statute further 

noted that rail companies 

violating that particular 

section of the statute are 

guilty of petty misdemeanors 

and subsequent 

violations are misdemeanors. 

A representative of the 

Minnesota Department of 

Transportation Rail Office 

said that she was unable to 

reach CP Rail officials to discover 

what caused the delay 

at the crossings. 

Free tuition offered 

for NCTC program 

One of the first things 

that come to mind when students 

and parents think 

about a college education is 

student debt. Even an 

affordable school is still very 

expensive and a major 

investment. Imagine the 

possibility of getting a free 

college education in a program 

that is the first of its 

kind in America. 

Northland Community 

and Technical College is 

pleased to announce the 

addition of just that. The 

brand new Imagery Analysis 

program will be starting in 

January 2013. 

The IA program is the 

first program of its kind in 

America and will be located 

at Northland’s Thief River 

Falls campus. The program 

is funded through a 

Department of Labor grant 

and this means free tuition.* 

(Not including NSCI 1103.) 

“The Imagery Analysis 

program will prepare students 

to enter an emerging 

field. Because Northland’s 

students will be among the 


Altru opens clinic 

in Thief River Falls 

In an effort to improve 

access to care for patients in 

Thief River Falls, Altru has 

moved to a larger space in 

the community. Starting 

Jan. 9, 2013, Altru will offer 

physical, occupational and 

speech therapy services in 

the community’s new Altru 

Clinic in Thief River Falls, 

located at 1845 Highway 59 

South, Suite 800 

(Greenwood Crossing). 

“Our new location will 

serve as a primary access 

point for patients and residents 

in this area, keeping 

care closer to home,” 

explains Jill Wilson, administrative 

director of Altru’s 

Regional Operations.

Recipes are from an old 

cookbook I found. After all 

the rich holiday food, it will 

be nice to have something 

normal. 

All of these recipes are 

from 1914, so they are nice, 

plain dishes like our greatgrandmothers 

used to make. 

You’ll love cooking and baking 

like they did. 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Let’s try true old-fashioned 

pancakes this 

Sunday morning: 

GRIDDLE CAKES 

2 cups flour 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1 3/4 cups sour milk or buttermilk 

1 teaspoon soda (level) 

1 tablespoon melted butter 

1 tablespoon sugar 

Sift flour, salt and soda 

together. Add milk slowly 

and beat until smooth. Then 

add melted butter and fry on 

a slightly greased hot griddle. 

If desired, a well-beaten 

egg may be added at the 

last, when it will be necessary 

to use a little more 

flour. These cakes will be 

more tender without the 

egg. These cakes may be 

made with sweet milk, substituting 

four level teaspoons 

of baking powder for 

the soda. This quantity will 

serve 4 or 5 people. 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

I love to make old-fashioned 

angel food cake – 

those box mixes can’t 

hold a candle to your 

own freshly made cake: 

ANGEL FOOD CAKE 

1 cup egg whites, unbeaten 

1 1/4 cups sugar 

Pinch of salt 

1 cup sifted flour 

1 teaspoon cream of tartar 

1 teaspoonful almond flavoring 

Put a pinch of salt into 

your egg whites and beat 

until frothy. Put in the 

cream of tartar and finish 

beating. Then beat in sugar. 

Add flavoring and fold in 

the flour lightly. Bake in an 

ungreased pan with a tube 

in a moderate oven (350 

degrees) for half an hour. 

(Sift flour once and the flour 

4 or 5 times and have eggs 

very cold.) 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Now make one of these 

really homemade ome - 

lettes – so easy and so 

tasty: 

OMELETTE 

Omelettes are of two 

classes: the French and the 

puffy. There are many variations, 

but all belong to one of 

the two classes. 

The number of yolks 

should exceed the number of 

whites in an omelet. If this 

rule is observed, they will be 

more tender and of a looser 

texture. 

PLAIN OMELETTE 

3 eggs 

1/2 teaspoonful salt 

Dash of pepper 

2 tablespoonfuls clear bacon 

fat or 1 tablespoon butter 

3 tablespoons hot water 

Beat eggs very light. Add 

salt, pepper and hot water. 

Heat the omelet pan and 

add bacon fat or butter. 

Cook slowly. 

When thickened and 

browned underneath, put in 

grate of oven to finish the 

top. When the top will not 

adhere to the finger, the 

omelet is done. Fold and 

serve on hot platter. Recipe

You can use canned 

pineapple in this, but it is 

so much fun to make it 

like Grandma did. 

Canned fruits can’t hold 

a candle to fresh: 

AMBROSIA SALAD 

1 pineapple 

1 pint strawberries 

4 bananas 

1 cup sherry wine 

1 quart grated coconut 

6 oranges 

Sugar 

Reserve a few whole 

strawberries and thin slices 

of orange. 

Peel and slice the pineapple 

and cut the slices into 

thin strips. 

Hull the berries and cut 

in halves. Peel the oranges 

and divide into their natural 

divisions. Cut these in 

halves. Sprinkle all ingredients 

with sugar and put on 

ice 

Ẇhen ready to serve, 

sprinkle the bottom of a 

deep salad bowl with the 

grated coconut, then put in 

pineapple and more coconut. 

After that, add strawberries, 

oranges and bananas, 

putting a layer of coconut 

between each two layers of 

fruit with a layer of coconut 

on top. 

Pour sherry over fruit, 

combined with the juices 

drained from the fruits. 

Garnish with whole strawberries 

and thin slices of 

orange. Serve very cold in 

punch cups. Serves 10 persons. 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

And one more really 

old-fashioned recipe like 

Grandma made. You can 

bet it tastes nothing like 

what you buy in a plastic 

tub at the store. The 

boiled potatoes, sliced 

hot, make such a difference. 

My friend, Bunny, 

used to make potato 

salad like this – she made 

the best: 

POTATO SALAD 

6 boiled potatoes, sliced 

while hot and allowed to 

cool 

1 small onion, minced fine 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

2 tablespoons minced celery 

1 tablespoon minced parsley 

Boiled Dressing (below) 

1/4 teaspoon pepper 

Hard boiled eggs 

When ready to serve, line 

the salad bowl with lettuce, 

put in a layer of the potatoes 

and sprinkle with the 

chopped onion, celery and 

parsley. Alternate in this 

manner until all the materials 

are used and then put a 

nice layer of dressing on top 

(however much you like). 

Garnish with hard boiled 

eggs in quarters and the 

white leaves of the celery. 

Boiled Dressing 

1 cup vinegar 

2 teaspoons sugar 

1 teaspoon mustard 

5 tablespoons butter 

1 teaspoon salt 

1/4 teaspoon pepper 

1 cup milk 

2 eggs, well beaten 

Melt butter. Add salt, 

sugar, mustard and pepper. 

Add vinegar and bring to a 

boil. Stir in milk, stirring 

constantly until thick. 

Remove from the fire and 

fold in the 2 well-beaten 

eggs.

CHIP offers Cassandra 

Stein a new lease on life 

Submitted 

“It was like fire in my 

veins.” Those were the startling 

words spoken by 44- 

year-old Cassandra Stein as 

she described her most troubling 

health problem. 

“For the last two to three 

years, it felt as if the veins in 

my legs and arms were constantly 

on fire,” said Stein. 

The burning pain Cassie 

felt was a side effect of the 

prescription drug she was 

taking for high cholesterol. 

“My doctor could see that my 

body wasn’t tolerating the 

medication well and recommended 

I stop taking it. The 

pain subsided once the pills 

were discontinued, but I 

knew I had to do something 

to combat my high cholesterol. 

I chose CHIP, the 

Complete 

Health 

Improvement Program.” 

In September, Stein 

signed up for CHIP, a community-based 

lifestyle 

enrichment program 

designed to reduce disease 

risk factors through the 

adoption of better health 

habits and lifestyle modifications. 

Cassie admits that she 

was ‘hooked’ the very first 

day of the program. “The 

way the schedule was set up, 

with a health screen in the 

morning, followed by breakfast, 

class and lunch … it all 

helped me get off to a good 

start. By the end of class 

that day, I felt like I was 

already halfway there!” 

A good start is one thing, 

but after Cassie completed 

the 16-session program, 

what was her overall 

impression of the CHIP 

experience? Without hesitation 

she answers, “Eye opening.” 

Hearing how certain 

things can affect the body 

made it easier for me to 

understand the lifestyle and 

follow it,” she said. 

And follow it she did. 

Among other things, Cassie 

learned how to improve her 

dietary choices and make 

exercise part of her daily 

routine. “I actually felt it 

was easy to make changes 

because of the way we (participants) 

were guided and 

supported all the way 

through.” 

Four weeks after starting 

CHIP, Cassie received her 

end-of-program results: Her 

total cholesterol had 

dropped 19 percent, her 

LDL had plunged 25 percent, 

her ratio (risk factor) 

had plummeted 25 percent, 

and she had lost 13 pounds. 

Her once-high cholesterol 

levels were now nestled 

safely in the ideal range, all 

without medication. “I had 

set a goal to start taking 

care of myself,” she beams, 

“and these results helped 

confirm that I was making 

progress!” 

It has been over two 

months since Cassie completed 

the CHIP class, and 

she is still moving forward 

on the program. “I have now 

lost a total of 22.5 pounds,” 

she recently wrote in an 

email to friends. “I have 

never lost more than five or 

10 pounds at any time … . 

When the first official 

weight loss after 30 days 

was 13 pounds, I was excited 

and happy. But sustainable 

loss - over 10 pounds - is not 

usually possible for me. I 

now weigh less than I did 

when I started working at 

Digi-Key almost six years 

ago. Now that is a feat! I 

don’t want to jinx it, but it is 

working! It is really working!” 

Her email continues, 

“Now, do you want to hear 

about the proverbial icing on 

the cake? Based on the body 

measurements I took in 

January 2012, I have managed 

to lose a total of 12 

inches! Yes, that is right-- 

almost five inches in my 

waist alone! Rock on, right? 

I am so happy – excited and 

shocked! 2.5 more pounds to 

goal number 1 and then we 

will move on to goal number 

2, another 25.” 

Cassie has more to say 

about the changes she has 

noticed, and this time she 

uses a word picture. “As the 

weight comes off, I feel it is 

pulling years off with it.” 

She pauses to savor that 

thought before continuing. 

“I am feeling younger. It is 

easier to move around, and I 

don’t have headaches anymore. 

I used to wake up with 

a headache that would last 

for days. I would go to work 

and just fight through it. At 

home I had to stay quiet in a 

darkened room; it’s pretty 

hard to be a mom under 

those conditions. I used to 

pop Tylenol like candy, but I 

haven’t needed any now for 

three months. I am glad to 

report that I have not had a 

single headache since starting 

the program!” 

The enthusiastic pitch in 

Cassie’s voice gradually mellows 

as she describes her 

hopes to pass along better 

health habits to her 10-yearold 

son. “I think it is a good 

idea for young people to get 

into CHIP. I wish I would 

have known about the program 

earlier and done it 

sooner. It could have spared 

me a lot of struggles.” 

Cassie’s story is not 

entirely unique. In every 

CHIP class, there are individuals 

who are grateful to 

experience the benefits of 

adopting a healthy lifestyle 

all the while wishing they 

would have known about the 

program sooner. And, like 

Cassie, some individuals 

have set goals to start taking 

care of their health, even 

making New Year’s resolutions 

to that effect. CHIP 

class in January 2013 will 

offer information, support 

and fresh opportunities to 

help make those New Year 

resolutions come about. 

To learn more about 

CHIP and the new lease on 

life it can bring, attend free 

information sessions scheduled 

at the Thief River Falls 

Public Library: Thursday, 

Jan. 3, 2 p.m. and repeated

Jan. 8, at 6:30 pm. At the 

free sessions, CHIP Director 

Marilyne Sayler will explain 

what participants may 

expect from a CHIP class. 

Her presentation will 

include a short DVD, 

Personal Health Concerns 

Assessment, PowerPoint 

presentation, and a question-and-answer 

period. 

There will also be opportunity 

for individuals to register 

for the next CHIP class 

scheduled to begin Jan. 13, 

2013.

The #1 Show In Northwest Minnesota

Sat., Dec. 29, 2012 NORTHERN WATCH Page 5 

A Perfect World 

It seems that the start of 

each new year begins with a 

drop-shipment of brand new 

problems. This year is no different. 

I think many people 

will see these problems as 

humanity’s imperfections 

that must be solved. They 

want to live in a perfect 

world. 

First off, every time I 

hear someone say “we must 

solve this problem so that it 

never happens again,” I 

know they are doomed. I 

rarely see the kind of problem-solving 

perfection that 

would make a problem never 

happen again. The world is 

full of problems; the only 

answer I've ever seen is diligence. 

In other words you 

simply have to put in the 

work, day in and day out, to 

try prevent the problem. 

Unfortunately, people don't 

like to work. They like to 

make laws that seek perfection 

and then pass the whole 

impossible mess on for others 

to enact and fund. 

The second obstacle to 

solving a problem is that it is 

typically a previous human 

action that caused the current 

problem. Those who 

profess to solve any current 

malady may have indeed 

caused it by their own acts 

and seek now to solve the 

problem without admitting 

their own mistake. Solving

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. 

the problem truthfully 

would shine light on their 

initial mistake and in that 

their own ego will not abide. 

OK, let's shuck to the cob. 

The recent school shooting 

in Connecticut has given the 

current administration a 

chance to introduce gun control. 

I don't know if they 

truly believe gun control 

would have prevented this 

horrible incident or if they 

are simply so cruel as to use 

this incident to further their 

own political ideals - I suspect 

the latter. 

We've always had guns, 

but we haven't always had 

school shootings - at least 

not on the scale now reported 

with such gusto by the 

media. The media tries to 

make much of the fact that 

you can now buy a semiautomatic 

AR-15 rifle and 

that removal of this right 

will prevent disturbed, violet 

people from killing. The 

truth is that we have had 

more powerful rifles than 

the AR-15 for decades and 

many of them are semi-automatic. 

The AR-15 looks a little 

meaner, so it is easier for 

nationwide media to demonize 

it in furthering their 

own agenda against the 

Second Amendment. 

The availability of 

weapons necessary to injure 

innocents like in 

Connecticut have existed for 

years. What has not existed 

until recently was the availability 

of violent, mentally 

unstable people to carry out 

these attacks. Until the last 

few decades, these folks 

were housed in secure hospitals 

where they were 

exposed to all available help, 

yet kept safely away from 

our children. High-minded 

folks who sought societal 

perfection instead of duediligence 

decided to streamline 

these same violent, 

mentally-unstable people 

into society. They made the 

rules and let the rest of us 

deal with, and fund, their 

laws. The bulk of society 

walks around on eggshells 

so that the violent and mentally 

unstable may enjoy the 

very freedoms they use 

against us. Making society 

carefully pirouette around 

the troublemakers seems to 

me like removing all of the 

toys from a grade school 

because one child cannot 

play with them decently. We 

need to focus on the source 

of the trouble instead of trying 

to create a world free of 

any way to make trouble. We 

lost that chance in the 

Garden of Eden. 

Society will never be perfect, 

it can only be diligent 

enough to protect itself 

against its more violent elements. 

We once protected 

ourselves from violent and 

mentally unstable people by 

housing them and treating 

them. A mistake was made 

when those folks were 

streamlined into society and 

began abusing the same 

rights the rest of us peacefully 

enjoy. We must admit 

this mistake. To remove or 

reduce the Second 

Amendment in the mistaken 

belief that a tiny group of 

highly violent, unstable people 

have the mental capability 

to respect yet another 

law is ludicrous.

Gothberg meets 

students during 

Challenger visit 

n LHS graduate, UND 

goalie talks about 

sports, academics 

Second grade students in 

Kayla Delzer’s class at 

Challenger Elementary 

School were treated to a special 

guest when Zane 

Gothberg, a Thief River 

Falls native and currently 

freshman goalie on the 

University of North Dakota 

men’s hockey team, stopped 

by for a recent visit. 

A 2010 Lincoln High 

School graduate, Gothberg 

spent 90 minutes reading 

and talking to the students, 

explaining to them what it 

takes to be a good studentathlete. 

He showed the tools 

of his trade – goalie equipment 

– and signed autographs. 

His visit will be 

remembered by a signed 

goalie stick that currently 

hangs on the classroom wall. 

Delzer utilizes a Mystery 

Reader program as part of 

her weekly class schedule. 

Students know a guest will 

be appearing, but are not 

given the individual’s identity 

ahead of time. 

“As soon as Zane walked 

in the classroom, the kids 

started screaming and jumping 

with excitement,” said 

Delzer. “The kids definitely 

knew who Zane was. He’s a 

small-town hero to these 

kids, and such a great role 

model to people of all ages.” 

In addition to earning 

honors as the state’s top senior 

goalie in high school, 

Gothberg also played golf for 

the Prowlers and was a 

member of the National 

Honor Society. 

Gothberg accepted a 

scholarship offer to play 

hockey at North Dakota, but 

first spent two years at the 

Junior level with the Fargo 

Force. He was chosen as the 

Goaltender of the Year in the 

United States Hockey 

League before enrolling at 

UND, where his studies are 

leading him to the field of 

occupational therapy. 

A draft pick of the Boston 

Bruins of the National 

Hockey League, Gothberg 

told the students much of his 

success can be attributed to 

his mother and grandmother. 

He told them his mother 

pushed him to do his best 

between the pipes and his 

grandmother encouraged 

him to work hard at his 

eduction. Reflecting his 

appreciation for the support, 

he offers a tribute on the 

back of his helmet that says, 

“Love You Grandma Susie.” 

Since it was Polar 

Express Day for the students, 

who were dressed in 

pajamas to go along with the 

theme, Gothberg began his 

visit by reading The Polar 

Express. 

“He then took time to 

teach some important lessons 

about school and 

sports,” explained Delzer, 

herself a student-athlete 

while at UND as a member 

of the women’s golf team. 

“Zane spoke about the 

importance of kids setting 

goals early and managing 

time to reach those goals.” 

Although he is most-recognized 

as an accomplished 

athlete, Gothberg stressed 

the importance of doing well 

academically, pointed out 

Delzer. “Zane explained that 

he was a student-athlete, 

and that being a good student 

comes first and foremost 

before being a good 

athlete, and that he needed 

good grades to play hockey. 

He told the second graders 

that he took pride in receiving 

academic honors before 

athletic honors because 

there is always life after 

sports. He helped kids to 

realize that school should 

always come first.” 

After showing his goalie 

gear and explaining how 

each piece helps to keep him 

safe and protected, Gothberg 

answered questions, then 

signed autographs – over a 

hundred items, estimated 

Delzer on items ranging 

from notebook paper, 

binders and shirts, along 

with a doghouse that is part 

of the classroom decor. 

“Zane did a fantastic job 

answering questions about 

working hard in school to 

achieve their dreams,” mentioned 

Delzer. “He went 

above and beyond. It was an

There are some gifts 

we just have to accept 

A youngster in the Karlstad area 

wanted a “Nerf gun” for Christmas. 

Another wanted a “big, big rocket.” I 

wonder whether any of those gifts 

might need to be returned. 

When we get a gift that isn’t just 

right, we return it to the store or we 

tell ourselves, “It’s the thought that 

counts,” right? Well, there are some 

gifts we’d like to return, but they 

weren’t gifts we found under the tree. 

The day after Christmas has become 

one of the busiest days of the year for 

retailers. It’s the day when a lot of people 

redeem the gift cards they received 

for Christmas to buy stuff that are on 

steep discounts. It’s also the day when 

gifts are returned to the store - gifts 

that don’t fit just right, aren’t the right 

color, don’t work or are just inappropriate. 

One website put it this way, “your 

aunt might be the best person in the 

world, but that’s no guarantee she 

won’t send you a lemon of a present.” 

When I’ve walked by the lines at 

Customer Service, I feel sorry for the 

clerks. I can’t imagine dealing with 

cranky, tired and frustrated customers. 

And, I also feel sorry for the customers 

who have to wait in lengthy lines. 

What makes it worse is that some 

companies seem to take it personally. 

They want to know more about you and 

why you're returning your present. 

Some make you fill out all kinds of 

paperwork. Some won’t allow you to 

return gifts unless you have a gift 

receipt, and a letter from your mother. 

Retailers are tightening the terms of 

exchanges or gift returns to protect 

themselves against fraud, theft and 

deception. All you want to do is return 

that sweater that was two sizes too 

small. 

So much for Merry Christmas. 

This year, I don’t have any gifts I feel 

need to be returned to the stores.

POLICIES 

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. 

However, there are some gifts we 

received this year that I’d like to 

return. Trouble is I can’t find a 

Customer Service representative to 

take them back. 

Nature blesses us with many gifts. 

We had pretty good weather this year. 

To me, Christmas isn’t Christmas without 

snow. This year, we had just 

enough this year to cover the ground. 

However, some places, like in Arkansas 

and Texas, got too much. Earlier this 

year, residents out on the East Coast 

got way too much rain and wind from 

Hurricane Sandy. That’s a “gift” I bet 

they’d like to return. In northwestern 

Minnesota, we had some terrible fires 

last fall. There are a lot of benefits to 

fire, but I bet there are some people out 

there who would like to return that 

gift. 

Like the saying suggests, “it’s the 

thought that counts,” we have to consider 

that there were some benefits to 

these events. Yet … 

In the United States, we’re thankful 

for the form of government we have. 

There are places in the world where a 

change in government means people 

being killed. That doesn’t happen here. 

We’re also blessed with the ability to 

speak our minds without fear of 

imprisonment. We could call this a gift, 

a tremendous gift, in fact. We had an 

election this year, and while no guns 

were fired in anger or people killed 

because of it, I bet there are parts of 

the election “gift” we’d like to return. 

Personally, the constant mudslinging 

in advertisements were my least 

favorite. I’d like to see that returned to 

the sender. 

When you think about it, I’m sure 

there are other events and things that 

took place or “gifts” we received last 

year that we’d like to return. To date, 

however, I haven’t been able to find a 

customer service representative or a 

gift return policy. I guess we’ll just 

have to learn to get along together and 

solve our problems.

Two people charged after

Two people were charged 

in Pennington County

were allegedly found riding 

in a stolen vehicle Friday,

safety. 

At about 11:30 a.m. Dec. 

21, the Red Lake County 

Sheriff ’s Office requested 

assistance from the 

Pennington County Sheriff’s 

Office in pursuing a stolen 

vehicle. According to the 

complaint and the police 

report, a Pennington County 

sheriff’s deputy and other 

Thief River Falls law 

enforcement assisted a Red 

Lake County deputy after a 

stolen vehicle was stopped 

along Highway 32 Northeast 

in St. Hilaire. Schue was 

allegedly driving the vehicle, 

and Riendeau was the passenger. 

The vehicle had been 

stolen from Valley City, N.D. 

A complaint alleged that 

Riendeau told law enforcement 

that she had met with 

an unknown man in South 

Fargo, N.D., on Dec. 20. She 

said the man was desperate 

to sell the 2004 Ford Taurus 

and said he would sell it for 

$500. The complaint indicated 

that the Kelley Blue Book 

value for the car was considerably 

more than that 

amount. Riendeau said the 

man told her that he had 

been released from the Cass 

County Jail on Dec. 18. She 

said he told her that he didn’t 

have the title, but she 

could take the car that night 

and get back to him about 

purchasing it. 

Riendeau then went to 

Minnesota with the car. She 

said she called the 

Department of Motor 

Vehicles, asking if the vehicle 

had been stolen. She said 

she thought it had been 

stolen since it was a nice, 

cheap car. The complaint 

alleged that Riendeau couldn’t 

provide any further 

details on the car or the 

name of the person from 

whom she had obtained the 

car 

Ȧccording to the complaint 

against Schue, he 

allegedly said he overhead 

Riendeau talking with the 

DMV. He said he thought his 

roommate had paid between 

$280 and $300 for the car. 

Schue said he had asked the 

man if the car had been 

stolen. He also said he had 

test-driven the vehicle. 

Schue was unable to provide 

the identity of the seller or 

the title of the vehicle. 

The complaint indicated 

that Schue’s driving privileges 

were cancelled as inimical 

to public safety in 

October 2005 and January 

2008. It also noted that he 

had driving-while-impaired 

offenses and driving-afterrevocation 

offenses on his 

record. ‘

The Imagery Analysis 

program is a 30-credit twosemester 

program. The innovative 

program teaches students 

to become skilled 

imagery analysts at the 

entry level. Students will 

learn how to interpret and 

distinguish imagery from a 

variety of sources and sensors 

that are being used in 

the field today. 

With the increased use of 

unmanned aerial vehicles 

for surveillance, the field is 

overwhelmed with data and 

desperately needs people to 

interpret this data. 

Northland Aerospace saw 

the need for skilled imagery 

analysts and developed this 

program to prepare students 

to fill this emerging gap in 

the workforce. 

As a student of this pioneering 

program, students 

can expect hands-on training 

from industry experts. 

Students will be taught 

using the newest technology 

in simulated workplace 

environments and ultramodern 

labs to ensure they 

are ready to enter the workforce 

upon completion.

Changes at Human Services 


Sanford Health in Thief 

River Falls as the organization’s 

crisis response coordinator/utilization 

review on 

mental health unit. 

Sjostrand was also a 

member of the Lancaster 

School Board for 22 years, 

serving as both chair and 

clerk. She feels her time on 

the school board combined 

with her time as Sanford’s 

crisis response coordinator 

and her experience as a district 

rep for Roseau High 

School, helped her prepare 

for her new role as a supervisor. 

Helping others 

Sjostrand knew at a 

young age that she wanted 

to help others. 

“I would have to say, 

throughout my high school 

years, I liked helping people,” 

Sjostrand said. “ I took 

that role through church 

youth group and in school.” 

While she was in high 

school, Sjostrand learned 

that she wanted to pursue a 

career in social work after 

she attended a function at 

Concordia College in 

Moorhead. 

Sjostrand didn’t dive 

right into her career, however. 

She got married first and, 

at age 25, attended 

Moorhead State University. 

Sjostrand feels that waiting 

to attend college gave her a 

better perspective on life. 

Now at Pennington 

County, Sjostrand performs 

professional work and 

administration of the 

agency’s social service programs. 

Her responsibilities 

include development, implementation 

and assessment 

of policies; supervision of 

assigned professionals, 

para-professionals, office 

support personnel and 

supervision of all social services, 

including children and 

family, childcare, mental 

health, developmental disabilities, 

chemical dependency 

and adult programs. 

Sjostrand oversees a staff 

of 14 that includes an office 

support person, two case 

aides and 11 social workers. 

She also reviews case 

records to ensure that 

agency and state policy rules 

and regulations are adhered 

to; and proper social work 

practices are being observed. 

Sjostrand said Penning - 

ton County Social Services is 

making children’s mental 

health case management a 

priority. In the past, children’s 

mental health cases 

could be managed by any of 

the county’s social workers. 

Now there will be one social 

worker who will specialize in 

children’s mental health 

services. 

“It’s going to be a positive 

program for our children 

and families in Pennington 

County,” Sjostrand said. 

Sandyhook shootings 

hit home 

As a former school social 

worker, Sjostrand had a 

strong reaction to the news 

that 20 students and six 

teachers were murdered at 

Sandy Hook Elementary in 

Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14. 

Her initial thought as a 

social worker was that not 

one, but several resources, 

failed to prevent the tragedy. 

“Everyone needs to work 

together, from the federal 

government to our communities, 

to help our precious 

children” Sjostrand said. “I 

see cuts, cuts, cuts. We need 

to put more money back into 

our resources.” 

Sjostrand said resources 

need to be pooled to look for 

ways to keep people safe, 

and more funding for mental 

health resources. 

Sjostrand said she wants 

people to feel like the 

Department of Human 

Services is a place where 

they can come for help. “Call 

us with concerns and we will 

try to help the best that we 

can,” Sjostrand said. “Social 

and obtain precise measurements 

within the area of 

interest, integrate and interpret 

maps and charts as 

they relate to imagery, and 

develop imagery information 

dissemination skills. 

Students will acquire a variety 

of skills ranging from 

Unmanned Aerial Systems 

general knowledge to a precise 

depiction of the imagery 

objective. Students receive 

hands-on training using Full 

Motion Video UAS derived 

imagery and other sensor 

data. 

“Northland has built a 

platform from which 

Imagery Analysis curriculum 

can be articulated. One 

would be perplexed to find a 

comparable certificate program 

at this academic level,” 

added Sterling Williams, 

Imagery Analysis program 

manager. 

Since this is such a new 

field, students may be wondering 

if they would be a 

good fit for this program. An 

imagery analyst should be 

able to be a strong communicator 

(both verbal and nonverbal), 

an active learner, 

critical thinker, be able to be 

very attentive to details, and 

be proficient on a computer. 

An imagery analyst also 

should be able to work independently, 

use innovation as 

it relates to the workplace, 

be adaptable and flexible, be 

persistent, and have excellent 

self-control. 

As an imagery analyst, 

there are four core functions. 

Students will be interacting 

with technology – namely 

computers, full motion 

video, and still imagery. 

They will be gathering and 

reporting vital information 

through observation and 

analysis from a variety of 

sources. They will be processing 

information by compiling, 

coding, categorizing, 

calculating, tabulating, 

audit ing, or verifying information 

or data. They will be 

communicating verbally and 

nonverbally to supervisors, 

peers, and subordinates 

through all communication 

channels. 

Once students graduate, 

they will be in a position to 

be employable virtually anywhere. 

According to Simply 

Hired, the average salary for 

imagery analyst jobs is 

$69,000. Average imagery 

analyst salaries can vary 

greatly due to company, location, 

industry, experience, 

and benefits.

Analysis program can offer.

James Retka, dean of workforce 

and economic development 

at Northland 

Community

Te c h n i c a l 

College, has 

been elected 

by its board 

of directors 

as president 

for 2013. 

R e t k a 

received the 

nomination 

of the 

NCATC Board during its fall 

2012 National Conference at 

Gateway Technical College 

in Racine, Wis. 

NCATC is a nationwide 

network of over 160 higher 

education resources that 

advocates and promotes the 

use of technology applications 

that enhance economic 

and workforce development 

programs and services. 

NCATC works closely with 

the American Association of 

Community Colleges as one 

of more than 20 Affiliated 

Councils. AACC is the primary 

advocacy organization 

for community colleges at 

the national level and works 

closely with directors of 

state offices to inform and 

affect state policy. 

NCATC Executive 

Director J. Craig McAtee 

said, “The NCATC membership 

continues to nominate, 

elect, and populate the 

NCATC Board of Directors 

with an amazing and 

diverse group of ATC leaders 

across the country. And, the 

NCATC Board continues to 

elect leadership of highly 

motivated, actively involved 

leaders from the nation’s 

community and technical 

colleges. The selection of 

Jim Retka as the NCATC 

Board president for 2013 – 

continues to raise the bar on 

an already illustrious list of 

past coalition leaders – and I 

am delighted to serve Jim, 

the Board, and our membership 

going forward.” 

“Jim is an ideal individual 

to lead NCATC,” said Dr. 

Anne Temte, president of 

Northland Community and 

Technical College. “Jim 

understands the challenges 

and opportunities of innovation, 

emerging industry, and 

cutting-edge technology. He 

led Northland’s efforts to 

reinvigorate its aviation 

maintenance technology 

program and to develop 

first-in-the-nation aerospace 

programs related to 

Unmanned Aerial Systems. 

Jim knows the importance 

of building business and 

industry partnerships and 

alliances among educational 

institutions.” 

2013 marks the 25th 

anniversary for NCATC and 

the organization will mark 

this milestone accomplishment 

with its Summer 

Workshop at Ivy Tech 

Community College in 

Terre-Haute, Ind., June 12 – 

14, 2013, and special events 

at its fall conference hosted 

by Gulf Coast State College 

in Panama City, Fla., Oct. 9 

– 11, 2013. 

Retka has been a member 

of the NCATC Board of 

Directors since 2011 and 

prior to that, served as 

NCATC’s Midwest Regional 

Coordinator.
