Demolition of the Hartz building just west of Lincoln High School in Thief River Falls began on Wednesday, April 17. 

School officials estimated that the demolition work and debris removal by Davidson Construction will take one to two 

weeks. This summer, the school’s parking lot will be extended into that area. The new parking lot will have two entrances 

on Arnold Avenue. Research into the Hartz building being demolished indicates that the company moved into it in 

February of 1938. It is believed that it was new at the time. The building that was demolished was the old office building, 

but it had five or six loading blocks and fresh produce was stored in the building. At the time, the building was 

equipped with a room where ethylene could be pumped into it to trigger the natural ripening process. People who 

worked in the rooms often shared stories of finding unusual pests. Previously to moving into the building in February of 

1938, Hartz operated out of the Co-op Creamery building on Atlantic Avenue. 

Flooding risks for region updated 

Flooding 

risk in Red 

River Basin 

increases 

“The snowpack is ripe, 

primed and ready to melt 

with snow temperatures 

approaching the thaw temperature 

on the southern 

basin,” stated the updated 

Red River Basin flood outlook 

from the National 

Weather Service Forecast 

office in Grand Forks, N.D. 

The weather outlook, 

released Wednesday, April 

18, indicated that increased 

chance of flooding for much 

of the region. 

While river flows and 

stages have been responding 

slowly due to a delayed 

snowmelt, river flows are 

expected to increase steeply 

once the melt starts in 

earnest later this week or 

early next week in the 

southern basin. 

River ice is getting old 

and more rotten as the days 

get longer and the sun angle 

becomes more direct. 

Afternoon highs above freezing 

and overnight lows hovering 

just below the freezing 

mark also helps to transfer 

heat energy to the ice and 

promote its eventual melt, 

collapse and destruction. 

Several young Monrovians learned basic music theory 

from Justine Boswell during a missions trip to 

Monrovia, Liberia in early March. Boswell is the 

daughter of Thief River Falls Evangelical Free Church 

Pastor Bruce Fischer, who is pictured in the second 

row on the right. (Submitted) 

Demolition begins 

As runoff flooding begins 

in earnest, river ice breakup 

will accelerate and some 

locally enhanced ice jam 

flooding is possible. This 

generally occurs near tight 

bends in the rivers or 

streams where debris and 

structures act to constrict 

flows and near confluences 

with tributary streams. 

Area Cities 

For area cities, the 

chances of minor flooding 

appear has increased. The 

chances of moderate flooding 

remain even, and the 

chances of major flooding 

remain relatively low. The 

conditional and historical 

simulations, for example, 

show that the chance for 

major flooding at 

Highlanding is 59 percent 

and 9 percent respectively. 

The chances of major flooding 

for Crookston are 27 and 

6 percent. The chances of 

major flooding above Warren 

were less than 5 percent. 

The chances of major flooding 

at Hallock are 19 and 

less than 5 percent. The 

chances of major flooding at 

Roseau are 22 and less than 

5 percent. 

A number of factors will 

have a significant impact on 

the risks of flooding. 

Recent snow storms and 

freezing added a tenth of an 

inch of moisture to the snowpack 

north of Grand Forks, 

N.D. 


A “Fischer” of men 

Pastor Bruce Fischer trains pastors in Liberia 

by Scott DCamp 

Reporter 

Pastor Bruce Fischer of 

the Evangelical Free Church 

recently returned from a 

fishing expedition in Liberia 

where he mentored young 

pastors. 

Accompanying Fischer on 

the 11-day trip were his 

daughter Justine Boswell, a 

graduate of the University of 

Arizona, Tucson, with a 

degree in vocal performance; 

and Stu Erdenberg, a man 

who lives in the Chicago, 

Illinois-area and is on staff 

with Reach Global, an arm 

of the Evangelical Free 

Church. The trio left for 

Monrovia, Liberia, on 

Friday, March, 1 and 

returned Monday, March 11. 

Fischer describes the trip, 

which was his second in as 

many years to Liberia’s capital 

city, as a fishing expedition 

to work with like-minded 

groups. His primary 

objective was to lead a fourday 

seminar on inductive 

Bible study for church pastors 

in Monrovia, but he also 

got a chance to see the 

progress that the 

Evangelical Free Church is 

making on other projects in 

the city. 

The country is recovering 

from not one but two civil 

wars, the second of which

ended in 2003. Fischer said 

there is definite improvement 

but still a ways to go. 

The average Liberian 

makes just $6 per day and 

unemployment is 85 percent. 

The average life expectancy 

is 56. 

Inductive Bible study 

Fischer taught area pastors 

how to ask questions 

about a Bible passage and 

learn how to write a sermon 

outline from the answers. 

He said the process is pretty 

natural for analytical 

Americans, but it was difficult 

for most of the 

Liberians.

We’re cooking easy this 

week. We want spring… 

Recipes are from the yellow 

Pine to Prairie 

Cookbook, Volume II. 

This dip is easy, can be 

made ahead, and should 

be served with lots of different 

chips. Perfect for a 

lazy supper night: 

TACO DIP 

Ginny Harwood 

St. Cloud 

1 ripe avocado, mashed 

1 (8 ounce) carton sour 

cream 

3 (8 ounce) packages cream 

cheese 

1 package taco seasoning 

mix 

1 teaspoon season salt 

Garlic, chopped fine (or garlic 

salt or powder) 

Onion, chopped fine (or 

onion salt or powder) 

Salt to taste 

Mix ingredients. Place in 

large dish with sides, such 

as a platter. Garnish with 

the following: 

Finely chopped lettuce (or 

shreds) 

Finely chopped tomatoes 

Sliced black olives 

Shredded Cheddar cheese 

Serve with lots of chips. 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Here’s a sweet, tasty 

cold salad that is perfect 

served with the taco 

salad above: 

MANDARIN SALAD 

Marilyn Radakovich 

Duluth 

1 package orange gelatin 

1 cup boiling water 

1/2 pint orange sherbet 

1 cup whipping cream, 

whipped 

1 cup mandarin oranges 

1 package cream cheese, 

room temperature 

Dissolve gelatin in boiling 

water. Add juice of oranges, 

and then add sherbet. 

Refrigerate until slightly 

thickened. Beat cream 

cheese and whipped cream 

until smooth. Mix into gelatin 

mixture well. Place in 

oiled mold or in square dish.

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

If the weather is still 

cold this weekend, you 

might like to try this 

quickie dish for supper. 

Besides, it is a good way 

to get rid of all those 

“soon to expire” cans in 

your pantry, right? Also, 

it is perfect to serve at 

the church pot luck: 

ST. BARNABAS 5 SOUP 

CASSEROLE 

Virginia Miller, Anoka 

2 pounds ground beef 

2 onions chopped 

1 can cream of mushroom 

Happy 18 th 

Birthday

Love, 

Grampa & Gramma 

SOUPÇON

email: lacours@mncable.net 

soup 

1 can cream of chicken soup 

1 can beef with barley soup 

1 can cream of celery soup 

1 can chicken with rice soup 

1 package chow mein noodles 

First of all, Virginia doesn’t 

give the size of the package 

of chow mein noodles, so 

just buy the larger one or 

two smaller. With all that 

soup, the casserole will 

probably need a large bag. If 

you have too many, you can 

always use them in the following 

“Cluster” recipe. 

Brown beef and onions. 

Drain and place in large 

bowl. Add soups. Just before 

baking, add 2/3 package of 

chow mein noodles. Mix 

well. Place in large baking 

dish and add remaining noodles 

to top. Bake at 350 

degrees for about 45 minutes. 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

Since we are going for 

easy this weekend, try 

these. You can throw in 

any of those leftover 

chow mein noodles too 

and adjust the cereal if 

you do this. This recipe 

makes a lot of candies, so 

you may want to make 

half of it. Half of a recipe 

makes 52 candies: 

ALMOND BARK 

CLUSTERS 

Marion Round 

Faribault 

One 2-pound package of butterscotch 

or vanilla 

almond bark. 

2 cups krispy rice cereal 

2 cups Cap’n Crunch 

2 cups salted Spanish 

peanuts 

2 cups small marshmallows 

Melt almond bark and 

add everything else. Mix 

well. Place in buttered or 

foil-lined pan or drop by teaspoonfuls 

on buttered surface. 

––––––––––––––––––––––– 

One more sweet 

recipe, since the weather 

has been so bad we need 

sweets, to make us feel 

better, right? 

QUICK BROWNIES 

(AND EASY) 

Gordy & Elaine Sneva 

Brainerd, MN 

1 package chocolate cake 

mix 

1 package instant vanilla 

pudding mix 

2 eggs 

1 cup milk 

1 cup water

Bake about 25 minutes at 

350 degrees. Frost with 

favorite frosting.

NORTHERN WATCH 

The Pavek Museum 

Sometimes people give 

gems of information to each 

other, gems that are worth 

more than their mineral 

counterparts. Paul Maloney 

is a friend of mine who gave 

me such a gem and I want to 

share it with you today. 

Paul and I are former 

radio broadcasters. Actually, 

considering I work with several 

former radio broadcasters, 

it appears that there 

may actually be an afterlife 

for us. Paul and I occasionally 

exchange books or movies 

that include the broadcasting 

industry as a central or 

collateral focus. This week, 

he gave me a tip that turned 

into a personal trip back in 

time. 

Paul told me about the 

Pavek Museum of 

Broadcasting in St. Louis 

Park. The Pavek Museum 

features many radio 

receivers, transmitters and 

old televisions from the 

early 20th century. I worked 

with some older equipment 

in my long-ago career in 

radio and it was more 

hands-on than today. We 

used to have a massive 

patch board that looked like 

an old telephone operators 

panel through which we 

could connect any piece of 

in-house radio equipment. 

Today, most of that work is 

done with computers, net- 

Rural 

Reflections

opinion of the staff or management of The Times/Northern Watch. 

works, permanently 

installed category five cable 

and some pretty handy computer 

programs. 

There are many people 

who found magic in radios in 

past decades. In the case of 

the radio receiver, it linked 

people to an outside world 

they would never have experienced 

without radio and 

for those with a transmitter 

set, it must have been like 

talking to the moon. You 

could sense the technology 

back then, unlike today. A 

radio tube has real heft and 

creates some heat when it 

works. You maneuvered a 

mechanical dial when choosing 

a radio station and in a 

world prior to digital signals, 

anything was possible. 

You may have a poorer signal 

some evenings, but when 

the ionosphere was low, you 

could receive a program in 

another language. Although 

I have not visited the Pavek 

Museum, I have spent a 

pretty good amount of time 

on its website and found 

some of that radio magic, 

sealed inside my computer 

screen. 

Fifty years ago most people 

traveled little beyond a 

25-mile perimeter around 

their home. People really 

depended on their radio station 

for news, commerce and 

socialization. The local 

newspaper and radio station 

were an integral part of life 

and almost a part of the 

family. People felt so grateful 

for good announcers that 

the Minnesota Broadcasters 

Hall of Fame was created 

and is featured on the Pavek 

Museum website. I spent a 

lot of time looking through 

all of the old broadcasters 

whose accomplishments 

were noted as reasons for 

their induction. I recognized 

many of the names from the 

Hall, but one in particular 

was Jerry Dahlberg who 

worked at KROX in 

Crookston. Dahlberg interviewed 

me once at the 

Marshall County Fair when 

I was young. I listened to 

KROX for days afterward, 

but never heard the interview. 

It was one of the 

events in my life that made 

me want to try radio as an 

adult. As I wandered virtually 

through the 

Broadcaster Hall of Fame, I 

was surprised that I did not 

find Howard Rokke among 

the names. Rokke worked as 

the radio instructor at 

Northland College (back 

then it was an AVTI) where 

he schooled and created 

some of the better talent in 

radio for the last several 

decades. This is talent that 

rippled across the nation 

and created much of the 

radio we enjoy today. Rokke 

was also a talented broadcaster, 

but his real talent 

was in creating broadcasters 

that understood the importance 

of reading, knowing 

the community in which 

they lived and HARD 

WORK. 

Anyway, if you like radio 

or just plain enjoy history, 

you should check out the 

Pavek Museum. Its website 

is www.pavekmuseum.org 

and it is located 3517 

Raleigh Ave. in St Louis 

Park. I will probably never 

see the actual building as I 

am more like those people 

from decades ago who never 

traveled beyond the 25-mile 

perimeter around their 

home. Radio broadcasts 

were originally an abstract 

world only made whole 

through the listeners’ imagination. 

Perhaps it is right 

that I enjoy this museum in 

such a virtual way that my 

own imagination provides 

the magic. 

Marshall County Sheriff’s 

Office to take back drugs 

On Saturday, April 27, 

from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the 

Marshall County Sheriff’s 

Office, in cooperation with 

the Safe Communities 

Coalition and the Drug 

E n f o r c e m e n t 

Administration, will give the 

public its sixth opportunity 

in three years to prevent 

prescription pill abuse and 

theft. 

At that time, the public 

will be able to rid their 

homes of potentially dangerous 

expired, unused and 

unwanted prescription 

drugs. Bring medications for 

disposal to one of two sites 

in the county: The 

Newfolden Community 

Center or the lobby of the 

Law Enforcement Center in 

Warren on that date. 

Last September, 

Americans turned in 244 

tons of prescription drugs at 

over 5,200 sites operated by 

the DEA and its thousands 

of state and local law 

enforcement partners. In its 

five previous Take Back 

events, DEA and its partners 

took in over two million 

pounds – over 1,000 tons – 

of pills. 

This initiative addresses 

a vital public safety and 

public health issue. 

Medicines that languish in 

home cabinets are highly 

susceptible to diversion, 

misuse, and abuse. Rates of 

prescription drug abuse in 

the U.S. are alarmingly high 

as are the number of accidental 

poisonings and overdoses 

due to these drugs. 

Studies show that a majority 

of abused prescription 

drugs are obtained from 

family and friends, including 

from the home medicine 

cabinet. 

In addition, Americans 

are now advised that their 

usual methods for disposing 

of unused medicines—flushing 

them down the toilet or 

throwing them in the trash – 

both pose potential safety 

and health hazards. 

Take Back days are conducted 

twice each year in 

Marshall County. The drop 

box in the sheriff’s office in 

Warren is a permanent fixture 

and is available 24 

hours a day. Medications can 

be dropped off at any time 

during the year. 

Rothenberger to 

perform at 

Roseau 

Community 

Church 

Rhonda Rothenberger 

will be presenting a sacred 

concert at the Roseau 

Community Church in 

Roseau on Sunday, April 28, 

beginning at 7 p.m. 

Rothenberger is wellknown 

throughout the 

Roseau area, having sung at 

numerous functions. She 

will be presenting a variety 

of music. She has recorded 

many of her songs, old time 

gospel music, southern 

gospel music, music from 

Gaither Vocal Band, and 

other popular music groups. 

Lunch will be served following 

the concert. Everyone is 

invited to attend.

Praising 

emergency 

responders 

There were plenty of helpers among 

those at the Boston Marathon. When 

the bombs went off, marathon personnel 

at the event didn’t run away or 

freeze. Their training and experience 

kicked in and they went into action, no 

doubt saving many lives in the process. 

The reaction of people to different 

stresses and emergencies has always 

been fascinating to me. This reaction 

has been described as a “fight or flight 

response,” but I know from personal 

experience, there’s another response - 

freeze. Without training, the response 

is visceral, uncontrolled and natural. 

In this state, I’ve known grown men to 

run away, and much slighter people 

rush to help. I’ve also witnessed some 

people sit perfectly still, unable to 

make a single decision. 

A friend called Tuesday night. He 

shared his thoughts and concerns 

about what happened in Boston, and 

recalled a story that appeared in the 

Dec. 8, 2012, edition of the Northern 

Watch. The story, written by Scott 

DCamp, was about a book written by 

Tim Madigan, a native of Crookston. 

Madigan had written a book about Mr. 

Rogers. At this time, a quote from Mr. 

Rogers, who died in 2003, is making its 

rounds on Facebook. It reads: “When I

was a boy and I would see scary things 

in the news, my mother would say to 

me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will 

always find people who are helping.” 

As happened in the wake of 9-11, 

today we are reminded that the heroes 

in our communities - our emergency 

responders - need our constant support 

so that they have the financial support, 

training and equipment they need to 

respond to emergencies in our communities. 

They are our helpers, and as 

long as we have helpers, we also have 

hope.

running as a metaphor for life, I join

the region and country calling on you 

to support one another and to defy the 

acts of terrorism through unity and 

strength of spirit. We will run. We will 

celebrate. There will be joy among us 

again. 

I confess, the bombings during the 

Boston Marathon left me in a confusing 

swirl of emotions - emotions fluctuating 

between anger and concern for victims 

and their families. And all the 

emotions of my own personal experience 

of running in the Boston 

Marathon came flooding back. My 

memories were positive, not bloodstained 

and incomplete; yet today, they 

too seem tarnished. Nevertheless, I 

choose to lace up and go for a run.

Rainy-Lake of the Woods 

Watershed Board is formed 

The International Joint 

Commission on Wednesday 

met with the new Rainy- 

Lake of the Woods 

Watershed Board during the 

IJC Semi-Annual meeting. 

The IJC formed the new 

International Rainy-Lake of 

the Woods Watershed Board 

to assist it with binational 

coordination of water quality 

efforts for the entire 

trans-boundary watershed 

and to coordinate the management 

of the water levels 

and flows on the Rainy River 

and Rainy Lake. 

The new International 

Watershed Board combines 

the IJC’s International 

Rainy River Water Pollution 

Board and the International 

Rainy Lake Board of 

Control. The new Board’s 

directive outlines its specific 

responsibilities in detail and 

it includes a mandate to 

report to governments on 

water quality objectives in 

the boundary waters of the 

watershed. 

“Consolidating the two 

existing IJC boards in the 

watershed creates no additional 

regulatory authority, 

but rather improves coordination. 

Coordination among 

jurisdictions can help 

address algae blooms and 

other local concerns,” said 

Commissioner Rich Moy. 

The new Rainy-Lake of 

the Woods Watershed board 

is comprised of 20 members, 

consisting of an equal number 

of Canadians and 

Americans, of which 11 

members are from federal, 

state and provincial governments, 

three from Tribes, 

First Nations, Métis, and six 

from the public. 

“The new board is inclusive 

and brings experts to 

the table from communities 

throughout the Rainy River 

and the Lake of the Woods 

watershed,” said Canadian 

Chairperson the Honorable 

Joe Comuzzi. 

Consistent with the IJC’s 

International Watershed 

Initiative, the Rainy-Lake of 

Woods Watershed Board is 

adopting an integrated, 

ecosystem approach that 

recognizes the complex 

interrelationships between 

water quality or quantity 

concerns in the entire watershed. 

The new watershed board 

is also tasked with developing 

a water quality plan of 

study for Lake of the Woods 

to identify the scientific 

work needed to address 

trans-boundary water 

issues. Priority issues to be 

examined include nutrient 

enrichment and harmful 

algal blooms; aquatic invasive 

species; climate change 

indicators and the development 

of adaptation measures; 

and contamination of 

ground and surface water 

from sulphides and heavy 

metals. 

Water levels and flows 

regulation is unchanged 

under the new watershed 

board. The Rainy and 

Namakan Lake Water 

Levels Control Committee of 

the watershed board has the 

same composition as the current 

International Rainy 

Lake Board of Control and 

retains authority to act independently. 

The governments of the 

United States and Canada 

requested that the IJC 

examine binational governance 

of the Lake of the 

Woods and Rainy River in 

June 2010. The 

Country music group 

Sawyer Brown will come to 

the Marshall County Fair in 

Warren on Thursday, July 

25 at 8 p.m. 

Sawyer Brown, founded 

in 1981, has played more 

than 4,000 shows over the 

course of those years, logging 

mileage well into the 

seven figures. The band has 

gold and platinum albums, 

with an impressive discography 

that includes dozens of 

hits, among them “Some 

Girls Do,” “The Dirt Road,” 

“The Walk,” “Thank God for 

You,” “The Boys and Me,” 

International Joint 

Commission created the 

International Lake of the 

Woods and Rainy River 

Watershed Task Force (Task 

Force) in July 2010, to examine 

and report to the IJC on 

the matters raised by the 

governments. The 

Commission reported to governments 

in January of 

2012, and the Canadian and 

American governments 

responded in the summer of 

2012. 

Under the Boundary 

Waters Treaty of 1909, the 

IJC helps prevent and 

resolve disputes between 

Canada and the United 

States over the use of their 

shared waters. The IJC has 

helped the two countries 

manage water quantity and 

water quality issues in the 

Lake of the Woods and 

Rainy River watershed since 

1912, when it launched a 

major study of pollution of 

boundary waters and 

reviewed an application for 

a dam at Kettle Falls. 

More information about 

the IJIC can be found online 

at www.ijc.org. More information

International Rainy-Lake of 

the Woods Watershed Board,

Sawyer Brown to headline 

Marshall County Fair 

“Step That Step” and “Drive 

Me Wild.” All of those titles 

were written or co-written 

by lead singer Mark Miller. 

The band has also put the 

Sawyer Brown stamp on a 

handful of well-chosen-and 

now well-loved-covers over 

the years, including “The 

Race Is On” and “Six Days 

on the Road.”

Winnipeg Foundation, the 

amount of phosphorus can 

lead, combined with other 

factors, to algae covering 

large areas of the lake in 

late summer and fall. These 

areas are easily visible in 

satellite images. Most are 

blue-green types of algae, 

which reduce the amount of 

oxygen in the lake, affecting 

aquatic life. 

The Red River empties 

into Lake Winnipeg as do 

the Winnipeg and 

Saskatchewan rivers. The 

above cities discharge treated 

wastewater into the Red 

River. 

It is estimated that 

46,000 pounds of phosphorus 

flow into the watershed 

from the Red River on a 

given day, according to 

Johnson. He said the 

Minnesota cities discharge 

220 pounds of phosphorus 

per day into the Red River. 

Johnson said the state of 

North Dakota isn’t placing 

limits on its cities discharging 

treated wastewater into 

the Red River. He said the 

cities of Grand Forks and 

Fargo contribute quite a bit 

more phosphorus than 

Minnesota cities. 

Johnson said the 

Minnesota cities feel field 

and storm water runoff contribute 

more to the phosphorus 

in the Lake Winnipeg 

Watershed than the 

amounts discharged by 

cities. However, he added 

there is no way to quantify 

that amount like how it’s 

quantified for the cities that 

discharge into the river. 

Council Member Don 

Sollom pointed out that the 

city of Thief River Falls’ 

treated wastewater discharge 

is cleaner than the 

water that the city takes out 

of the river and then cleans 

for drinking water. He said 

he thinks farm fields are one 

of the biggest contributors of 

phosphorus. “The city 

should not be singled out,” 

he said. 

The Thief River Falls City 

Council approved a resolution 

pertaining to the proposal 

during its meeting 

Tuesday, April 16. The resolution 

indicated that neither 

the United States nor 

Canada has placed limits on 

the amounts of phosphorus 

and nitrogen discharged into 

the river. The resolution 

asked both federal governments 

to jointly create a 

“nutrient budget” for U.S. 

sources. Once that budget 

were created, it asked that 

the Environmental 

Protection Agency determine 

limits on each source’s 

contribution based on the 

budget. 

The council heard an 

update from Joe Hedrick, 

manager of the Thief 

River Falls Regional 

Airport. 

Hedrick said the Airport 

Authority is planning a 

major rehabilitation project 

involving the taxiway. The 

project, estimated to cost 

about $3 million, is expected 

to start in late June or early 

June. It will involve the complete 

removal and replacement 

of the taxiway. Hedrick 

said the pavement is quickly 

degrading there. This summer, 

the Airport Authority 

also plans to crack seal the 

crosswind runway. 

Further into the future, 

Hedrick said the Airport 

Authority is considering 

demolishing the T hangars 

and rebuilding them closer 

to the crosswind runway. He 

added that Northland 


College has considered possible 

future growth in the 

area now set aside for the T 

hangars. This would give the 

college closer access to the 

primary and crosswind runways. 

Area flooding risks 

continue to grow 


Bare spots in the basin 

are seeing a few inches of 

topsoil melt, which may be 

holding an inch or so of melt 

water before releasing it 

into ditches and eventually 

rivers and streams. There is 

still a deep layer of frozen 

ground underneath the 

melted water that typically 

prevents or inhibits full 

moisture infiltration until it 

thaws. This will enhance the 

quantity and speed of the 

snow melt runoff reaching 

the river channels. 

A delayed thaw, rain on 

snow or dense fog are all 

possible scenarios for rapid 

snow melt. Since the springtime 

thaw and snowmelt has 

now been delayed into late 

April, the risk for a more 

rapid warm up and thus a 

shortened overall thaw cycle 

are high. Furthermore, as 

the region moves toward the 

end of the month, it will 

have a higher risk of having 

a heavy thunderstorm rainfall 

event occur over thawing 

snow and frozen ground 

during the period of high 

water. Thus, the report concluded 

that an overall 

increased risk of moderate 

to major flooding is 

expressed in this outlook.

A “Fischer” of men 


Formal training for pastors 

is rare. It exists, but 

most pastors can’t afford to 

miss work. Fischer said, 

because of their work conflicts, 

it is difficult to get 

pastors to do any amount of 

prep work for their sermons. 

Thirty-two pastors participated 

in the seminars, with 

an average session attendance 

of 22. Fischer said the 

participating pastors represented 

several denominations 

and two of the more 

engaged pastors came from 

opposite ends of the theological 

grid. 

Classes were taught in an 

old building without running 

water or electricity. 

Fischer said his method of 

inductive Bible study is relatively 

simple and can fit on 

two sides of a piece of paper. 

He said the primary goal is 

to help each pastor who completed 

the seminar to know 

whether they understand 

the passage. The end result 

is the most pastors will 

avoid writing sermons about 

passages of scripture that 

they do not understand. 

Each pastor that completed 

the seminar received a 

certificate, which gave each 

of them a sense of accomplishment. 

Praising God 

through music 

Boswell spent the majority 

of her week teaching basic 

music fundamentals to help 

the Liberians improve their 

worship music, which most 

Liberian pastors admitted 

was not good. Music was not 

a priority during the 11 

years that the country was 

in a state of civil war. 

Fischer described a common 

problem during 

Liberian services, in which 

the song leader will come in 

singing in one key; the keyboard 

player who only 

knows how to play a few 

chords will join in and try to 

find the correct key; and the 

bass player will join in and 

also struggle to play in the 

same key as the song leader 

and keyboard player. 

The end result is a chaotic 

sound. Fischer was caught 

off guard by the sound during 

his first visit to Liberia 

last year. He shared some 

samples of his daughter’s 

music with some pastors 

during his first trip, which 

were well-received, and 

decided to invite his daughter 

to join him on the second 

trip. 

Fischer said his daughter 

primarly taught basic music 

theory. She also performed a 

concert toward the end of 

the week. 

Other outreach 

Fischer began his seminars 

on Monday, March 3 

and concluded them on 

Thursday, March 6. On the 

final full-day in Monrovia, 

Fischer visited a property 

where a school is being constructed. 

The future school 

desperately needs a water 

filtration system and the 


Evangelical Free Church 

congregation has set a goal 

to fundraise for its purchase. 

“For the price of a good 

used car, they can have 

clean drinking water at the 

school,” Fischer said. 

The Evangelical Free 

Church is planning to send 

teams back to Monrovia in 

the fall to continue supporting 

the project. 

Also on Friday was a tour 

of a medical clinic that was 

being run out of house. The 

clinic had minimal supplies 

and staff. 

“They did the best they 

could with what they had, 

which wasn’t much,” Fischer 

said. 

The trip also gave Fischer 

a chance to see the farm of 

Dave Kiamy, who oversees 

church planting in sub- 

Saharan Africa for the 

Evangelical Free Church. 

Because most pastors are 

required to be bi-vocational, 

Kiamy is utilizing his land 

to teach farming to pastors, 

and he has set up 80 percent 

of his house as a guest 

house. 

Food 

Most of the cooking in 

Monrovia is done over a 

charcoal fire. Rice, which is 

typically incorporated into a 

soup, is a primary meal component. 

“They don’t consider it a 

meal, unless there is rice,” 

Fischer said. “If they had 

fruit for breakfast, they 

would say they hadn’t eaten 

anything.” 

Soup consists of a broth or 

gravy made from a variety of 

veggies or meat or fish, 

which is put into the broth 

without removing any 

bones. It is served in bowl on 

top of rice. 

“It is an acquired taste 

and I acquired it,” Fischer 

said. He added that neighboring 

families will competitively 

share soup with one 

another. 

Fischer also enjoyed 

Liberians’ version of fried 

chicken. 

“They have a knack for 

getting just the right spices 

in the chicken,” Fischer said. 

One taste he couldn’t 

acquire was the taste for 

cassava, the country’s other 

primary source of calories. 

Fischer compared the texture 

of cassava to being 

somewhere between a 

marshmallow and a baked 

potato. 

Departing Monrovia 

Fischer and Boswell 

boarded a plane to leave 

Monrovia at 5:30 p.m. on 

Sunday, March 3. Their original 

itinerary called for a 

short flight to Accra, Ghana, 

followed by a transatlantic 

flight from Accra to New 

York, and concluding with a 

connecting flight to 

Minneapolis. 

Their first flight was 

grounded for more than five 

hours due to brake problems. 

Making matters worse 

was the fact that the airport 

was on lockdown due to an 

incoming flight of Liberian 

President Ellen Johnson 

Sirleaf. That meant that the 

plane’s 300-plus passengers 

who had already boarded 

the plane were forced to stay 

put and wait for the repairs 

to be completed. 

It was after 11 p.m. when 

the plane finally 

departed,and it took an hour 

and 45 minutes to get to 

Accra. 

Due to an ongoing terrorism 

threat, only passengers 

whose final destination was 

Accra were allowed to exit 

the plane. The rest were 

forced to remain in their 

seats for another hour and 

45 minutes while the plane 

was cleaned and prepped for 

its flight to New York. 

Following the 12-hour 

flight to New York, Fischer 

and Boswell had to take a 

short flight from New York 

to Boston, Mass., and then 

finally in Minneapolis at 

4:45 p.m. Monday afternoon. 

THE REAL STORY 

BioDiesel - America’s Advanced Biofuel 

Minnesota is a national leader in the advancement of biodiesel - a 

clean, domestic, alternative fuel produced from readily available 

and sustainable feedstocks, including soybeans. Biodiesel offers 

substantial economic and environment benefits to Minnesota and 

the rest of the country. 

Now designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as 

an advanced biofuel, biodiesel is an excellent option for furthering 

national energy security. 

Strentghening Energy Security and The Economy 

Biodiesel successfully diversifies U.S. energy production and 

reduces our dependence on petroleum imports. Its economic 

impacts are significant. With annual in-state production of over 60 

million gallons, the biodiesel industry creates over 5,600 jobs in 

Minnesota, increases soybean demand by 13 percent and creates 

an annual output of $928 million. It also helps hold down the cost 

of soybean meal used by livestock producers. 

Boosting Consumer Confidence 

Biodiesel is an easy choice for consumers. Blends of up to 20 

percent can be used in most existing diesel engines. As the most 

thoroughly tested alternative fuel on the market, and with nearly 80 

percent of biodiesel producers certified, products quality is top-notch. 

Lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions 

Fuel that is 20 percent biodiesel significantly benefits the 

environment by reducing total hydrocarbons by up to 30 percent, 

carbon monoxide by up to 20 percent and total particulate matter 

up to 15 percent. And with increased soybean yields, famers are 

able to use less land and even less fuel, resulting in a smaller 

environment footprint. Biodiesel also has a very positive net energy 

balance, returning 5.5 units for every one unit of energy used to 

produce biodiesel. 

Making New Advancements Every Day 

With any new technology there is a learning curve and biodiesel is 

no different. However, Minnesota continues to make progress and 

most technical issues have been fully addressed. As an advanced 

biofuel, biodiesel exceeds EPA standards for RFS2, which 

mandates the use of 800 million gallons of biodiesel domestically 

in 2011 and a minimum of 1 billion gallons of biodiesel annually in 

2012 through 2022.

Jon Narverud of Thief River Falls (third player from the 

left in the top row) was a member of the North Iowa 

Bulls who won the 2013 USA Hockey Tier III Junior 

Nationals title. (Submitted) 

Narverud plays for 

national champion 

Jon Narverud, a 2012 

Lincoln High School graduate, 

was a member of the 

North Iowa Bulls team that 

won the 2013 USA Hockey 

Tier III Junior Nationals 

that were played April 4-8 in 

Rochester. 

The tournament featured 

eight teams representing 

USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier 

III leagues from across the 

country. 

North Iowa is a member 

of the North American Tier 

III Hockey League 

(NA3HL), whose 18 teams 

located in Illinois, Ohio, 

Pennsylvania, Iowa, 

Michigan, Minnesota and 

Missouri are grouped in 

three six-team divisions. 

The Bulls play in the 

NA3HL West Division along 

with the Minnesota-based 

Alexandria Blizzard, Breezy 

Point Stars, Granite City 

Lumberjacks (Sauk Rapids), 

Minnesota Flying Aces 

(Little Falls) and Twin 

Cities Steel (Vadnais 

Heights). 

Narverud served as a 

back-up goalie to Ontario, 

Calif., native Matthew 

Bartels as the Bulls followed 

a division-winning regular 

season with an 11-0 playoff 

run. 

North Iowa beat Flint, 

Granite City and Peoria in 

NA3HL post-season matchups 

to win the league’s 

Silver Cup and earn a trip 

to Minnesota for the national 

tournament. 

Based in Mason City, the 

Bulls continued their title 

march in Rochester with 

pool play wins over the New 

Hampshire Monarchs from 

the Empire Junior Hockey 

League 5-2, the Bellingham 

Blazers from the Northern 

Pacific Hockey League 7-0 

and the Twin Cities 

Northern Lights from the 

Minnesota Junior Hockey 

League 5-1. 

North Iowa began the trophy 

bracket with a 3-2 double-overtime 

semifinal win 

against the Helena Bighorns 

from the American West 

Hockey League. 

Vern Johnson steps down 

Vern Johnson is hanging 

it up. The long-time high 

school classroom instructor, 

coach and athletic director 

handed in his resignation to 

the Grygla-Gatzke administration 

Monday. 

Johnson has been coaching 

boys basketball the past 

36 years, starting with a 

three-year stint as an assistant 

coach at Erskine. He 

was the head coach at 

Grygla-Gatzke for 30 years, 

and for the past three years 

held the same position with 

the Goodridge/Grygla cooperative 

program. 

His overall record as a 

head coach is 456-328. 

Under Johnson, Grygla- 

Gatzke reached the Section 

8A finals thee times and had 

five 20-win seasons in a sixyear 

span from 2001-02 

through 2006-07, including 

a school-record 27-3 record 

in 2005-06. 

Goodridge/Grygla played 

in the 2011 section finals 

and went 15-12 this winter 

when Johnson was recognized 

for his years of service 

The title game was a 

rematch with the Twin 

Cities Northern Lights. The 

Bulls won easily, 6-2. 

It was the first national 

title for the Bulls, who were 

in just their second season of 

existence, and the first for 

the NA3HL since it was 

restructured and rebranded 

three years ago. 

The NA3HL, which began 

as a Junior B league in the 

early 1980’s, is designed, 

like all Tier III programs, as 

a stepping stone for players 

striving to continue their 

hockey careers. Those 

advancing from Tier III look 

to the NAHL or USHL in an 

effort to eventually attract 

the attention of scouts from 

the college or professional 

ranks. 

Narverud helped lead 

Thief River Falls to back-toback 

Section 8A titles in 

2011 and 2012. 

His goalie stock began to 

rise when he was selected to 

participate in the Minnesota 

Hockey High Performance 

Festival from 2009 to 2011 

as a 15, 16 and 17-year-old. 

Following completion of 

his prep career, Narverud 

was picked to play in the Ted 

Brill Great 8 Tournament, 

which led to his selection to 

the Minnesota Senior team 

for the CCM National 

Invitational last spring. 

The game took him to 

Canada when he signed 

with the Steinbach Pistons 

of the Manitoba Junior 

Hockey League, but a lower 

back injury prompted the 

club to release him in early 

October. 

Surgery repaired a bulged 

disc, and his desire to return 

to the sport led to reestablish 

previous contacts with 

the North Iowa organization. 

When the Bulls lost one of 

their two goalies in a late- 

January move, they got in 

touch with Narverud. He 

promptly headed to Mason 

City and ended up being 

part of a national championship 

team. 

TRF players in Expo Showcase 

Thief River Falls’ Jacob 

Leier and Jacob Joppru have 

been invited to participate 

in the 2013 Minnesota 

Basketball News Top 100 

Expo Showcase that will be 

held July 29-30 at the 

College of St. Benedict in St. 

Joseph. 

Each year Minnesota 

Basketball News, part of the 

Pacesetter Sports program

and volleyball camps and 

tournaments, announces its 

list of the Top 200 boys and 

girls high school basketball 

players in the state. They 

are extended invitations to 

display their talents at the 

Expo Showcase. A cap of 144 

players – 72 boys, 72 girls – 

will be accepted for the 

event. Last year 109 players 

were on hand.

Pioneers’ schedules 

have been changed 

because of weather 

Baseball and softball 

teams at Northland 


were idled again this weekend 

by the weather. 

In baseball, the Pioneers 

were scheduled to host 

Vermilion in Saturday and 

Sunday doubleheaders. 

The softball team was 

ticketed for twinbills at 

Vermilion Saturday and 

Mesabi Range Sunday. 

Northland athletic coordinator 

Paul Peterson said 

at this point, the Pioneers’ 

remaining Minnesota 

College Athletic Conference 

Northern Division baseball 

schedule remains intact. 

However, the rest of the 

softball schedule has been 

shuffled in an effort to complete 

one round of MCAC 

Northern Division games. 

Northland has yet to play 

an MCAC-counting baseball 

game. The Pioneers did play 

Northern Division softball 

doubleheaders against 

Itasca, Central Lakes and 

Rainy River during an April 

11-13 visit to the Irish 

Sports Dome in Rosemount. 

Plans tentatively call for 

the Northern Division baseball 

teams to utilize a tournament 

format to finish the 

regular season schedule. 

With the latest changes, 

the Pioneers will have just 

one 2013 home appearance 

in both softball (Tuesday, 

April 30 vs. Fond du Lac) 

baseball (Saturday, May 4 

vs. Itasca).

by being named the Class A 

Coach of the Year by the 

Minnesota Boys Basketball 

Coaches Association. 

He has also resigned from 

his teaching, athletic director 

and advisor duties due to 

family reasons. His wife, 

Patti, is principal at 

Fosston. 

“I don’t think I could do 

justice to the kids and the 

program due to where I will 

be living,” explained 

Johnson. Also, I feel there 

are some good candidates to 

take over, and I don’t want 

to stand in their way.” 

It’s been a fun ride, 

according to Johnson. “I cannot 

tell you how much I have 

enjoyed what I’ve been 

doing,” he said. “I have been 

very fortunate to be able to 

do something I love doing. I 

am going to miss coaching at 

Goodridge/Grygla. The people 

have been fantastic to 

work with, and have treated 

me well.” 

Johnson had special 

words of praise for Steve 

Sparby, his long-time basketball 

assistant coach. 

“Steve Sparby and I have 

worked together longer than 

a lot of marriages last,” he 

quipped. “He is a very good 

coach, great friend and has 

been very, very important to 

what we’ve done. He has 

worked hard to make me 

look good – an almost impossible 

task.” 

There are plenty of highlights 

that come to mind 

from his coaching career, 

mentioned Johnson as he 

recalled an 1994 post-season 

upset of top-seeded Badger/ 

Greenbush-Middle and the 

Section 8A championship 

games in 1995, 2006 and 

2010. “But I think the best 

memories I will have are 

working with the kids and 

coaches,” he stated. “Unless 

you’ve been in coaching, it is 

hard to describe the relationships 

you have with 

them. The laughs, the goofy 

things that have happened, 

along with the not-so-good 

times. I wouldn’t trade it.”


A check from the Thief River Falls Sports Boosters 

Club was presented to the baseball program at 

Northland Community and Technical College. The 

$700 donation will be used for the purchase of catcher’s 

equipment. Northland activities coordinator Paul 

Peterson (left) accepted the check from Sports 

Boosters president Rick Reierson. 

NCTC softball team 

starts in Irish Dome 

Poor weather and small 

numbers have combined to 

make the 2013 season a 

challenge for the Northland 


College softball program. 

It took a while for the 

Pioneers to first round up 

enough players to keep the 

program afloat, and then 

find a place to play. 

Nine players are needed 

to field a team, and that’s 

exactly the number that 

head coach Merle Johnson 

mustered up this spring. No 

complaining about sitting 

the bench for this group. 

The team’s next challenge 

was to locate a suitable playing 

site. Because of the lingering 

snow and cold temperatures, 

the Pioneers retooled 

their early-season 

schedule. The first four 

dates – three doubleheaders 

at home and one on the 

road – were scratched in 

favor of an April 11-13 trip 

to the Irish Sports Dome in 

Rosemount, where a tefloncovered 

artificial playing 

surface provided a dry, 

warm place to play. 

Northland’s season-opening 

indoor slate resulted in 

three twinbill sweeps at the 

hands of Minnesota College 

Athletic Conference foes 

Itasca, Central Lakes and 

Rainy River. Hibbing was 

scheduled to be there, too, 

but was unable to make the 

trip because of poor road 

conditions en route to the 

Twin Cities area. 

Itasca beat Northland 6- 

2, 11-0 Thursday. Central 

Lakes out-scored the 

Pioneers 19-13, 16-12 

Friday. Rainy River finished 

them off 4-0, 13-4 Saturday. 

Taking everything into 

consideration, Johnson was 

satisfied with the Northland 

showing, saying his team 

made progress from game to 

game. “We have only nine 

players on the roster, one of 

which has never played softball 

in a team setting 

before,” he explained. “I felt 

we made strides from Game 

1 to Game 6.” 

Sophomores Tia Klein 

(Grand Forks, N.D.), Alexis 

Fee (Devils Lake, N.D.) and 

Shari Klein (Red Lake Falls) 

were the Northland leaders 

in the first tests of the year, 

according to Johnson. 

“Found out what we could 

and couldn’t do,” he said. 

“Since these were our first 

games of the season and 

other teams have had as 

many at 18 games prior to 

us playing them, I am very 

proud of the team.”

Photo day arranged by Thoele Photography for the 

Thief River Falls high school baseball team featured an 

interesting setting Tuesday when players donned high 

boots and posed in a pool of water with snowbanks in 

the background – a statement about the weather that 

has hampered the 2013 spring sports season. 

Soderstrom skates 

with MJHL winners 

It’s been a championship 

spring for former Thief 

River Falls high school hockey 

players. 

Patty Marshall, a 

defenseman who transferred 

to Shattuck-St. Mary’s as a 

freshman this fall, was part 

of that school’s USA Hockey 

U16 girls national championship 

Tier I team. 

Goalie Jon Narverud, a 

2012 Lincoln High School 

graduate, played for the 

North Iowa Bulls who won 

the USA Hockey Tier III 

Junior Nationals. 

Wednesday, forward Riley 

Soderstrom, another 2012 

LHS grad, was part of the 

celebration as his Steinbach 

Pistons won their first 

Manitoba Junior Hockey 

League playoff title. 

The MJHL features 11 

teams in two divisions. 

Steinbach finished second to 

the Winnipeg Blues in the 

Addison Division that also 

includes the Portage 

Terriers, Winkler Flyers and 

Selkirk Steelers. 

Beginning March 8, the 

Pistons’ best-of-seven playoff 

run included a 4-3 first 

round conquest of Portage, a 

4-2 semifinal elimination of 

Winnipeg and a 4-2 championship 

series victory over 

the Dauphin Kings that 

ended with a 3-2 final-game 

win that gave Steinbach 

possession of the Turnbull 

Trophy. 

Soderstrom and defenseman 

Garret Schmitz of Red 

Lake Falls are the only non- 

Canadian players on the 

Pistons’ 21-man roster. 

In 60 regular season 

games, Soderstrom had 8 

goals, 18 assists and 26 

points while Schmitz came 

up with 7 goals, 15 assists 

and 22 points. 

Steinbach now advances 

to the inaugural Western 

Canada Cup Junior A 

Championship. The fiveteam 

tournament will be 

played in Nanaimo, B.C., 

starting April 26. The winner 

moves on to the National 

RBC Cup at Summerside,

I am happy to announce my return to our great

two children - Jenna, who will turn 4 in May, and 

Aubree, who was welcomed into the world a little 

over a month ago - are very excited to get back 

to what we know here in Thief River Falls. 

As a 2001 graduate of Lincoln High School, I know 

what a great place this is, and I couldnt’ be more 

excited about our future. 

I am very thankful for the opportunity that Steve 

has given me. I am excited to help the people in 

this community. Few things are better than helping 

someone own the car or truck they want and deserve. 

All I am asking is for the opportunity to help you, or someone you know, buy that 

dream car. In return, every one of my customers will be treated with the best 

buying experience possible. That is something everyone deserves. Thank you!

Autism is topic of Health Luncheon 

Financing 

Available! 

Having a family member 

on the autism spectrum isn’t 

easy. Autism spectrum disorders 

are a group of developmental 

disabilities that can 

cause significant social, communication 

and behavioral 

challenges. Yet, families 

affected by autism want to 

do the same activities other 

families enjoy, including 

going to movies, shopping 

and going out to eat. But 

these everyday activities 

may not be as easy for families 

with autism. 

Families with autism 

often report feeling stared at 

or scrutinized because of the 

behavior their family member 

with autism may display 

in public. As autism becomes 

more prevalent in our society, 

more information may be 

needed to help the general 

public understand what 

autism means for a family. 

In that effort, RiverView 

Health will dedicate its 

Tuesday, April 23 Health 

Luncheon to educating the 

public on what dynamics 

play a part in autism and 

how to better understand 

those affected by it. April is 

Autism Awareness Month. 

RiverView Speech- 

Language Pathologist 

Andrea Reynolds will give 

the presentation “Autism in 

Public: A Lesson in 

Understanding Those on the 

Spectrum’’ at the 12 p.m. 

event. She will give an introduction 

and overview of 

what autism is, with a discussion 

of the core deficits 

associated with it. Reynolds 

has done extensive work 

with many individuals on 

the autism spectrum. 

Reynolds also has certification 

in autism spectrum disorders 

through the 

University of North Dakota. 

She will be joined by a mother 

of two children with 

autism, who will share what 

life is like raising children 

on the autism spectrum, and 

what she would like the public’ 

to know from a parent’s 

perspective. 

Health Luncheon details 

The luncheon will be held 

at RiverView Health in 

meeting room 1, which is 

located near the RiverView 

Clinic entrance on the north 

side of the hospital and 

across from the elevators on 

first floor. 

The luncheon series is in 

its 15th year of sponsorship 

by RiverView Health. All 

men and women interested 

in improving their health 

are invited to attend. Each 

luncheon starts a few minutes 

past noon, and luncheons 

are kept under one 

hour, so those needing to 

return to work can attend. 

The presentations are free, 

and attendees can bring 

their own lunches or purchase 

a bag lunch for $3. 

Pre-registration is 

required. Call 218-281-9405 

or toll-free 1-800-743-6551, 

extension 9405, for additional 

information and to preregister. 

Strandlies to speak 

at Roseau Library 

On Thursday, April 25, 

the fourth and final Lunch 

at the Library presentation 

will feature travel photos 

shared by Jim and Jan 

Strandlie, Thief River Falls 

residents who formerly lived 

in Roseau. Seating begins at 

11:30 in the Voyageur Room 

at the Roseau City Center. A 

beverage and bars will be 

available on the serving 

table at 11:45 a.m., so all 

will be ready to munch on 

their own bag lunches during 

the program, which 

begins promptly at noon. 

Donations at the serving 

table are welcome. 

The Strandlies’ intention 

for this trip through 

Western Europe was to 

explore World War II museums, 

cemeteries and historic 

sites on the beaches of 

Normandy, France, as well 

as swinging over to Norway 

and Sweden to visit relatives. 

What they didn't 

expect to encounter was so 

much evidence of World War 

II along the way, from 

Trondheim, Norway, and 

through Sweden, which 

remained neutral during the 

war and the five-year occupation 

of Norway. The 

Strandlies will present their 

tour chronologically, beginning 

with the invasion of 

Norway. 

Each spring, Roseau Area 

Friends of the Library 

invites the public to their 

free travel series on the four 

Thursdays in April. 

RLF company hosts tour 

More than 30 people 

toured the Northwest 

Manufacturing plant in Red 

Lake Falls on April 4 to 

learn about the biomass 

industry in Minnesota. 

Northwest Manufacturing is 

home of the Wood Master 

furnaces, which use cord 

wood and biomass pellets as 

their fuel source. 

“These biomass furnaces 

can be a real win-win for 

communities in this area,” 

said Chris May, the 

Northwest Regional 

Coordinator for the Clean 

Energy Resource Teams 

(CERTs) which organized 

the event. “It is great to see 

a technology where people 

can reduce their heating 

costs while supporting local 

manufacturing jobs at the 

same time.” 

St. John Lutheran school supper 

and silent auction planned 

St. John Lutheran School 

will host a supper and silent 

auction on Thursday, April 

25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at St. 

John Lutheran Church in 

First Friday event to 

feature BAM photography 

According to the Centers 

for Disease Control and 

Prevention, many area 

counties ranked among the 

top in Minnesota for suiciderelated 

deaths in 2010. 

May is National Mental 

Health Awareness Month. 

The observance was established 

by Congress to bring 

awareness about mental illness 

with a highlight on suicide, 

which is often preceded 

by mental illness. 

BAM photography, which 

is co-owned by Serene 

Eidem of Erskine and Beth 

Montejano of McIntosh, is 

hosting an art event at the 

Historic Mentor School 

building. The goal of the 

event is to bring about 

awareness and reduce stigma 

in regards to these 

important topics. 

On Friday, May 3, BAM 

photography will be joined 

by local artists and mental 

health professionals to 

honor Mental Health 

Awareness Month. The 

event will highlight the connection 

between art, therapy 

and mental health. Starting 

Thief River Falls. The menu 

includes ham, potatoes, 

gravy, candied carrots, cole 

slaw, homemade buns and 

all the trimmings. 

Pioneer 90.1 to host 

free concert April 26 

Pioneer 90.1 is hosting a 

free concert Friday, April 26 

at 6:30 p.m. at the Empire 

Arts Center in Grand Forks, 

N.D. The concert will feature 

three top acts from the 

Twin Cities’ indie-rock 

scene. 

Mark Mallman, Sleep 

Study and The Melismatics 

will headline the “Shin-Dig” 

at the Empire to wrap up 

the station’s pledge week. 

Local band Old Vern will 

also perform. 

The concert is supported 

by the Minnesota Arts and 

Cultural Heritage Fund. 

at 4:30 p.m., with the help of 

15 local artists, the halls of 

the Historic Mentor School 

will visually represent the 

event’s theme: “From 

Darkness to Light- 

Celebrating the Spring of 

Hope.” Trey Everett will 

present examples of his 

work and hold an art therapy 

session. This event is free 

and open to the public. Food 

and beverages will be available, 

thanks to The 

McIntosh Country Store, 

Winger Wine and Spirits, 

and Erskine's Groceries 

Plus. 

Mental health awareness 

is essential to the overall 

health of the community. 

Mental illness and suicide 

have touched many. 

BAM photography is a 

recently opened photography 

studio whose creation 

was inspired by Montejano's 

struggle with her uncle 

Mark’s recent suicide. It was 

Mark’s photos and love of 

photography that helped 

Beth through her journey of 

grief.


Erickson, Bentow receive awards 

Bethany Erickson and 

Tyler Bentow are among the 

recipients of the 2013 Red 

River Valley 

Development 

Association 

Northwest 

Y o u t h 

Leadership 

Award. The 

honor banquet 

Bethany 

Erickson 

Tyler 

Bentow 

was held 

Saturday, 

March 16, at 

the University 

of Minnesota, 

Crookston. 

The purpose 

of the $500 

award is to 

help further 

higher education 

of young 

adults in 

northwest 

Minnesota; to 

recognize outstanding community 

service and leadership; 

and to encourage further 

growth and development 

to improve quality of 

life in northwest Minnesota. 

The award is open to students 

between the ages of 17 

and 21 living in Becker, 

Clay, Clearwater, Kittson, 

Lake of the Woods, 

Mahnomen, Marshall, 

Norman, Otter Tail, 

Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, 

Roseau and Wilkin counties. 

Students applying for the 

award need to submit an 

essay that describes a project 

that demonstrates how 

they used their leadership 

skills. 

Erickson was recognized 

for her efforts to plan the 

2012 Veterans Day Program 

in Roseau after having 

attended the Girls State 

Program earlier in the year. 

The Roseau American 

Legion Auxiliary sponsored 

the trip. Erickson partnered 

with the 2012 Roseau Boys 

State representative to 

organize the Veterans Day 

Program that featured the 

150th anniversary of the 

Civil War. 

Erickson has been accepted 

at North Dakota State 

University, where she will 

major in ag business. 

Bentow was recognized 

for the “Donuts for Drums” 

project that he designed to 

raise funds for a new drum 

set for the Greenbush- 

Middle River School. After 

reaching his goal to fund a 

new drum set, Erickson continued 

the donut sales to 

support breast cancer 

awareness, Down syndrome 

awareness, the Walk to End 

Alzheimer’s and a public 

address system for the 

BGMR Baseball Field. 

After graduation, 

Erickson plans to enroll at 

the University of North 

Dakota to pursue a degree in 

mechanical engineering 

with a minor in music. 

Red Lake Co. sets date for Relay For Life 

The much anticipated 

15th annual Red Lake 

County Relay For Life event 

will be held May 31 and 

June 1 at the football field in 

Oklee. 

Chairperson Bobbie 

Olson, Oklee, invites the 

public to attend the opening 

ceremonies beginning at 6 

p.m. on Friday, May 31. 

Volunteers will gather at the 

field in the afternoon to set 

up more than 3,000 luminary 

bags, and the event will 

conclude at 2 a.m. on 

Saturday, June 1. 

This highly successful 

local fundraiser for the 

American Cancer Society 

has raised well over 

$600,000 in the fight against 

cancer since the kick-off 

year in 1999. Funds raised 

are used to provide education, 

advocacy, research and 

services for cancer patients. 

The Relay For Life in Red 

Lake County is supported by 

10 teams from across the 

county. Each team is committed 

to raising money for 

the American Cancer Society 

to fight all forms of cancer. 

Those teams will walk the 

track in memory and in 

honor of those who have

diagnosis. In addition, on 

the night of the event, there 

will be licensed beauticians 

available to cut hair for 

those who wish to donate 

their hair to Locks of Love, a 

program that provides wigs 

for those in need. Food vendors, 

including Oof da Tacos 

and the Spud Wagon, will be 

set up, and there will be a 

variety of activities at each 

campsite for the public to 

participate in. The silent 

auction has been a traditional 

fundraising favorite for 

those wishing to bid on an 

assortment of baskets. 

The "Relay Idol" contest 

was a big success last year 

and will be held again this 

year, giving the public an 

opportunity to vote on their 

favorite entertainer. More 

information will be forthcoming 

on the preliminary 

round for that event, and 

musicians from around the 

area are invited to participate.

Michalski named RiverView CEO 

The 

RiverView 

Healthcare Association 

Board of Directors 

announced Friday, April 12 

that Carrie Michalski has 

been named the chief executive 

officer and president of 

RiverView Health. 

Michalski, who has been 

with RiverView Health for 

nearly 20 years, most 

recently served as vice president 

of operations. She also 

served as interim CEO after 

the departure of Deb 

Boardman until out-going 

CEO Ross Matlack took the 

position in 2010. Matlack 

recently resigned to take a 

job as CEO and president of 

Fisher Titus in Norwalk, 

Ohio. He will stay on in a 

consultant role until May 

23. 

Dedication to healthcare 

“Carrie’s in-depth knowledge 

of RiverView, as well as 

her talents and passion for 

healthcare, make her the 

perfect choice to lead our 

Carrie Michalski 

organization,’’ said Anne 

Rasmusson, chairman of the 

RiverView Health Board of 

Directors. “In my eight years 

on the RiverView Board, I 

have seen firsthand Carrie’s 

unwavering dedication to 

RiverView Health, her commitment 

to patient care and 

her steady leadership. Her 

communication skills, hard 

work and collaborative style 

will expedite RiverView’s 

journey forward.’’ 

Michalski, an Argyle 

native, will start in her new 

role immediately. “I am completely 

humbled by the overwhelming 

amount of support 

I have received as I begin 

this new transition as 

RiverView’s president and 

CEO,’’ Michalski said, ‘’I 

would also like to acknowledge 

a handful of the many 

mentors that have aided me 

to grow as a leader at 

RiverView Health: Tom 

Lenertz, Jenny Amon, Gary 

Frisk, Bill Bennett, Sandra 

Boice, Sonam Kapoor and, 

most recently, Ross 

Matlack.” 

Michalski also credits 

RiverView’s Senior 

Leadership Team for its 

strength in moving 

RiverView through today’s 

ever-changing healthcare 

world, saying the team is 

“among the best health care 

leaders in the nation.” 

Moving forward 

‘’RiverView has a 114-

year history of fulfilling our 

mission to deliver a healthcare 

experience that consistently 

exceeds patients’ 

expectations,’’ Michalski 

said. “To consistently exceed, 

and thrive as a high performing 

world-class organization, 

it is critical that we 

invest in process improvement 

and the professional 

development of our 

providers and employees. 

Simply said, we cannot 

stand still, or we will fall 

behind. Change is vital and 

necessary, and will position 

RiverView for success in our 

next 114 years.” 

Michalski has a degree in 

healthcare administration 

from Concordia College, 

Moorhead. She and her husband, 

Jay, who owns and 

operates a family farm east 

of Argyle, have three daughters: 

8-year-old Paige; and 7- 

year-old twins, Danielle and 

Erin.

~ WANTED ~ CHILDREN WHO ARE NEW RESIDENTS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT #564 

If you know of a family with preschool children living in Thief River Falls who are new to the school district, 

the ECFE program wants to hear the news. The school census is our source of names for mailing lists used 

for notices of upcoming events and information, school readiness registration, kindergarten registration, 

preschool screening dates and more. 

EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING 

Early Childhood Screening is a “check in” for Thief River Falls children from three to five years old. We 

screen for possible health or learning concerns so the child can get help before starting school. At this 

screening, professionals check children’s vision, hearing, height, weight, immunizations, and skills in thinking, 

language, motor coordination, and social/emotional development. Screening should be completed before a 

child turns 4 years old, specifically between the ages of 3 1⁄2 and 4. To make an appointment, call Lisa 

Simenson at (218) 681-8670. 

UPCOMING SCREENING DATES 

August 22 – 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. • September 25 – 1:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Curtis Miller has always 

been a big fan of the Popple 

Ridge Pickers. The Popple 

Ridge Pickers is a gospel 

group consisting of Erik 

Finney, Dan Vagle, Van 

Pankratz, Kenny Hultgren, 

Bruce Steen, Lyndon 

Johnson, Janelle Hostrup 

and Galen Nordin. 

As a farmer of many 

years, Miller knew many of 

the members of the Popple 

Ridge Pickers and some had 

either done work for him or 

lived close by. After a Popple 

Ridge concert at the nursing 

home, Miller, who is a resident 

of Kittson Memorial 

Healthcare Center, 

approached Galen Nordin 

and Erik Finney and told 

them that he would love for 

the group to do a concert in 

his church in Punta Gorda, 

Fla. Miller had spent many 

winters in this Florida community 

and attended the 

Burnt Store Presbyterian 

Church in Punta Gorda, and 

wanted the people there to 

be able to hear this group 

perform and enjoy them like 

he has. Finney and Nordin 

just figured this was just a 

“talking desire” for Miller. 

Little did they know that he 

had been formulating this 

plan for quite some time. 

Sometime in the next 

week, Miller had called and 

met with either Finney or 

Nordin to let them know 

that this was a desire that 

he really wanted to see fulfilled. 

He informed them 

that he wanted to take the 

group and their families to 

Florida. 

Finney and Nordin said, 

“Curtis, you do realize that 

some of the families are 

pretty large?” Curtis told 

them he wanted the families 

of the group to be able to go. 

Thus began the fulfillment 

of the desire. Nordin and 

Miller went back to the 

group and found the dates 

that would work for all of 

them to take part in this 

trip. 

Once a date was set, 

Judy’s Leisure Tours in 

Fargo, N.D., was contacted 

to begin arrangements for 

travel of 42 people. This 

number included the families; 

Curtis, a nurse (Greg 

Olson) and a CNA (Danny 

Olson). The travel arrangements 

also consisted of 

motels in Florida, a day at 

Disney World, a day at 

Busch Gardens, and a day at 

the beach. 

Journal of the Trip 

Thursday, March 14: 

Travel took most of the 

day. At supper time, they all 

walked and met Miller at 

Dean’s Mexican Restaurant 

in Punta Gorda. 

Friday, March 15: 

The group was picked up 

by the “Evangelistic Chair, 

Don Dewitt” for the Burnt 

Store Presbyterian Church 

which Nordin had been in 

contact with at about 1:45 

p.m. The church had hired a 

professional soundman to 

come in, so there was time to 

set up and test microphones 

and become comfortable 

with the instruments. At 5 

p.m., the church served the 

entire group and their families 

a wonderful (gluten free) 

supper. The concert began at 

7 p.m. and there were 480 

people in attendance. The 

offering that was taken from 

the service and from the sale 

of the Popple Ridge CDs was 

all given to a ministry called 

“Jesus Loves Me,” which is a 

ministry to the homeless in 

the Punta Gorda area. The 

church was so accommodating 

and welcoming that the 

group felt like family right 

away. The church body even 

surprised them with T-shirts 

for everyone when they met 

on Sunday. 

Saturday, March 16: 

The whole team and families 

were up early and headed 

to Busch Gardens. 

Everyone enjoyed seeing the 

animals, riding the rides 

and eating the food, and of 

course the nice weather. It 

also had an eventful night 

with a sick raccoon and the 

local police that night (just 

ask Kenny, Galen, and Dan). 

Sunday, March 17: 

The singers and instrumentalists 

left for the 

church at 7:45 a.m. as they

were performing at all three 

services. At the two traditional 

services, they sang 

one song, “I Believe” and the 

contemporary service, where 

they performed three songs. 

The families arrived by bus 

for the contemporary service 

and then returned to the 

motel. The singers and Julie 

and Michele arrived after 

the last service about 12:45. 

After their performances, 

the group headed to a “family 

friendly” beach about 45 

minutes away. Curtis, Greg 

and Danny also drove to the 

beach and were able to 

either watch or join the 

group in the water. 

Monday, March 18: 

The bus left early for 

Disney World. Once again, 

everyone enjoyed a great 

day of activity, sun and listening 

and seeing many 

things they had never been 

able to see before. 

Tuesday, March 19: 

All of the families except 

the Finneys, Pankratz, 

Lyndon and the Danny 

boarded the bus at 10 a.m. 

for a drive to the airport for 

a 1:30 p.m. flight. 

Wednesday and 

Thursday: The families 

that stayed in Punta Gorda 

enjoyed the playground, 

sand, beach and all of the 

things that were close to the 

motel. Lyndon did take a few 

people touring to Key West. 

The group is very appreciative 

to Miller for being a 

man with a dream, and a 

desire to fulfill that dream. 

The travel agent, Judy Iten, 

had booked everything as 

the “Miller Band.” Members 

of the group enjoyed saying, 

“We are the Miller Band,” as 

it checked in at various 

places. 

“I know that if you would 

ask the church at Punta 

Gorda, any of the singers, or 

others, they would have 

thought that a man in the 

nursing home could never 

make this happen, well they 

have been proved wrong,” 

said Nordin.
