Commissioners 

discuss county 

attorney’s pending 

retirement 

Red Lake Falls - “The 

main topic of discussion 

during the Red Lake 

County commissioners’ 

meeting Sept. 11 was the 

upcoming retirement of 

County Attorney Dan 

Geller and the policing contract 

regarding the city of 

Red Lake Falls. 

“Geller wanted to visit 

with the commissioners on 

his retirement, tentatively 

dated for August 2013. He 

wanted to know if the commissioners 

wanted him to 

help find a replacement for 

his position since one can 

be appointed until the election 

in 2014. The appointed 

person doesn’t have to live 

in Red Lake County, but an 

elected official does. 

“Also, the commissioners 

and Geller talked about 

what they plan on doing 

with the position. Would it 

be a full- or part-time position, 

were they going to 

pursue sharing a county 

attorney or change the 

position were among the 

questions posed. The last 

two options require action 

by the Minnesota 

Legislature and would need 

to be worked on soon in 

order for the Legislature to 

approve or disapprove the 

changes. Geller felt the last 

option would be the hardest 

to change. 

“Another question was 

what would happen if no 

candidates filed for the 

county attorney position in 

the election and what 

would be the next step. 

Geller said if there were no 

filings and there were no 

write-ins, then the commissioners 

could appoint someone. 

Also, if a write-in won 

the election, but didn’t have 

the required credentials 

and/or residential status, 

then the commissioners 

could appoint someone. But 

a write-in with the credentials 

and/or residential status 

would be the next county 

attorney.” - Red Lake

Ryan Petersburg 

plans ahead 

Roseau - “What Ryan 

Petersburg has done, ever 

since arriving at Craig 

Rehabilitation Hospital in 

Denver, is to push himself 

to the limit.” 

“It was on Saturday, July 

21, when Petersburg, riding 

in the backseat of a car 

when it rolled, was thrown 

from the vehicle southwest 

of Roseau. He was paralyzed 

from the chest down.” 

“After being airlifted to 

Altru Hospital in Grand 

Forks, N.D., he spent a 

month in the hospital and 

in rehab before being airlifted 

to Denver on Aug. 

22.” - Roseau Times-Region,

Hope remains amid the ash 

Fire destroys 

property and 

homes in 

northwestern 

Minnesota 

by April Scheinoha 

Reporter 

About 31,710 acres have 

burned as part of eight fires in 

northwest Minnesota. Many 

residences have been destroyed. 

No injuries have been reported. 

One wildfire started Sunday 

near Karlstad. It burned about 

4,440 acres. It destroyed 11 

homes and 24 outbuildings. The 

Red River Chapter of the 

American Red Cross has set up 

a shelter at Grace Lutheran 

Church in Hallock. 

The Red Cross also has a 

trailer office at the Karlstad 

Volunteer Fire Department. 

Case workers are able to help 

those affected by the fire. 

Assistance is available in the 

form of short-term lodging, food, 

clothing and medical help. For 

more information, stop there or 

call the chapter’s main office at 

218-773-9565. 

Resurrection Community 

Church in Karlstad was accepting 

clothing donations for families 

affected by the fire. It has 

been overwhelmed by the 

response and is no longer 

accepting donations. T & F Fun 

Bus also accepted donations in 

Thief River Falls, filling one bus 

with donations for the Karlstad 

fire victims. 

The fire remains under investigation. 

It led to evacuations of 

Karlstad Healthcare Center, 

The Meadows assisted living 

facility and Tri-County School. 

Nursing home and assisted living 

residents were evacuated 

about two blocks away to First 

Lutheran Church. Family members 

were able to pick them up 

there or the residents were 

taken to another facility. 

Facilities offering help included 

those in Hallock, Thief River 

Falls (Oakland Park 

Communities), Northome, 

Erskine, Stephen and 

Greenbush. 

“Firefighters saved our building. 

Had it not been for them, 

our building would’ve been 

burned to the ground,” said

Fire’s destructive path 

doesn’t destroy hope 

by David Hill 

Editor 

Don Lund wishes he had 

taken a few more things from 

his home before accepting the 

advice to evacuate his home on 

the outskirts of Karlstad on 

Tuesday, Oct. 2. 

Fed by 40 mph winds and 

grass and trees that hadn’t had 

a drink of water in months, fire 

roared up to the outskirts of 

downtown Karlstad on Tuesday, 

burning and destroying 35 

structures. 

Wednesday morning, a thick 

haze of smoke hung over the city 

of Karlstad. Fields and structures 

on the south and west side 

of the community had sustained 

a considerable amount of damage, 

but the community 

remained intact. 

Lund had come to see what 

remained of his two-story, threebedroom 

home. Nothing, except 

ash. He could recognize the 

remains of a computer he had 

purchased last fall, and an old 

woodburning stove. That lump 

of metal in the basement had to 

be his refrigerator. Tears ran 

down his cheeks. 

Lund explained that he was 

advised to leave his home at 

about 3 p.m. At the time, he hurriedly 

removed a couple of tractors 

and an ATV out of a shed 

and moved them close to the 

road. He then grabbed a few 

items of clothes and left. He now 

wishes he had ignored the evacuation 

order a little while longer 

and taken more of his personal 


Don Lund’s 

home was 

reduced to a 

pile of ashes 

and barely 

recognizeable 

pieces of iron by 

a fire that swept 

through the 

Karlstad area 

Tuesday.

Rep. Dan Fabian) 

Don Lund 

checks his 

propane tank 

to make sure 

someone had 

turned it off. 

Someone had 

turned it off. It, 

along with a couple 

of diesel 

tanks, was one 

of the few things 

on his place that 

wasn’t destroyed. 

Local legislators debate election reform 

by Scott DCamp 

Reporter 

The days of unregistered voters 

showing up to polling places 

during an election, registering 

without photo identification and 

voting on the same day could 

soon be a thing of the past. 

A constitutional amendment 

appearing on the Nov. 6 ballot 

will ask Minnesotans: “Should 

A SLIGHT Change in the weather 

the Minnesota Constitution be 

amended to require all voters to 

present valid photo identification 

to vote and to require the 

state to provide free identification 

to eligible voters, effective 

July 1, 2013?” 

In addition to requiring photo 

identification for all eligible voters 

to cast a ballot, the legislation 

will require the state to 

issue photo identification at no 

Fires raged in 

Karlstad and 

throughout the 

region on 

Tuesday, and by 

Thursday, area 

residents, like 

Olivia Hawkins, 

8, were shoveling 

sidewalks of 

heavy, wet 

snow. 

Both events 

caused significant 

damage 

and disruptions. 

charge to eligible voters who do 

not have a state-issued ID; voters 

who were previously allowed 

to register without photo ID, by 

having a friend or acquaintance 

vouch for them, will now cast a 

provisional ballot that will only 

be counted if the ballot can later 

be certified; and all votes, 

including those not voting inperson, 

must be subject to substantially 

equivalent identity 

and eligibility verification prior 

to a ballot being cast or counted. 

Minnesota Republicans, who 

wrote the legislation, state that 

requiring all voters to provide 

government-issued photo identification 

before receiving a ballot 

will insure integrity in the election 

process. 

Minnesota DFLers feel that 

there is nothing wrong with the 

current election process and 

Heavy snowfall 

sets records 

According to the National 

Weather Services in Grand 

Forks, N.D., the early season 

snow event produced significant 

snow amounts for northeast 

North Dakota into northwest 

Minnesota for early October. 

The heaviest snow fell in 

Roseau County, where around a 

12 inches of heavy wet snow had 

been reported as of 3 p.m. 

Thursday. This heavy, wet snow 

also produced numerous power 

outages across this area. (See 

story on Page 3) 

These snow amounts appear 

to be record amounts for this 

early in the season for many 


thus there is no reason to fix it. 

Both sides were represented 

during the Marshall County 

Board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 

2. Appearing before commissioners 

were Sen. LeRoy Stumpf, 

DFL, Plummer; and Rep. Dan 

Fabian, R, Roseau. 

Stumpf said he did not support 

the election reform legislation. 

He heard the legislation in

One dead, three injured 

after accident Tuesday 

A Thief River Falls woman 

died and three people were 

injured after a two-vehicle accident 

Tuesday night in Marshall 

County. 

Jodi E. Larson, 40, was pronounced 

dead at the scene,

State Patrol. 

A family friend said Larson’s 

husband, Brian, was transported 

to Sanford Medical Center in 

Thief River Falls and then airlifted 

to Altru Hospital in Grand 

Forks, N.D. An Altru nursing 

supervisor said Brian Larson 

was listed in serious condition 

early Thursday afternoon. 

Alanna M. Tureson, 22, 

Karlstad, and her relative, 21- 

year-old Andrea L. Tureson of 

Thief River Falls, were also 

injured in the crash. The State 

Patrol indicated that Andrea 

Tureson was treated and 

released from SMC. As of 

presstime Friday morning, 

Alanna Tureson’s status wasn’t 

known. 

At the time of the accident, 

Alanna Tureson was driving a 

Pontiac Bonneville northbound 

on U.S. Highway 59. According 

to the report, she crossed the 

centerline near the intersection 

with 270th Street Northwest. 

Her car then collided head-on 

with the Larsons’ southbound

After the Fire 

Tuesday, Oct. 2, was probably 

the largest, local fire event that 

has ever occurred in my lifetime. 

Dry conditions and high 

winds combined to create several 

large, incredibly dangerous 

grass fires. Determined fire 

crews and actions of volunteers 

were all that stood between this 

event becoming one of emergency 

service’s finest hours and 

human tragedy. 

There were large fires across 

much of northwest Minnesota 

on that day. I want to focus on 

the Viking fire as I am familiar 

with that area, and had the 

opportunity to speak with the 

firefighters, and I participated 

in this emergency as a dispatcher 

with the Pennington County 

Sheriff's Office. The fire began 

at approximately the intersection 

of the Lilac Ridge Road and 

Marshall County 2. 

The Viking Fire Department 

was called to a wildfire in its 

early maturity about 12:30 p.m. 

Tuesday. This was a fire that 

would require each person to 

constantly re-think and accept 

new realities as they fought it. 

Most of the fires in our area will 

stop at natural barriers and 

therefore fighting them requires 

established procedure, knowledge 

of the geography and work. 

This fire was driven by 40 mphplus 

winds that did not recognize 

established barriers. It 

changed everyone's perception 

about fire. 

By 1 p.m., Viking Fire Chief 

Brian Bolstad, made the first in 

a series of good decisions that 

day - he called for help. Thief 

River Falls Fire Department 

was the first to arrive and 

played a big part in saving the 

first couple of homes the fire 

was about to destroy. The problem 

was that as the fire raged, it 

got stronger. Humans do not get 

stronger over time, we tire. 

Many fights would be made 

against the fire that day and 

help came from the Goodridge, 

Newfolden and Plummer fire 

departments. 

I spoke with Jamie 

Miramontes and Nate Kolden 

about the origin of the fire. They 

volunteer for the Viking Fire 

Department. It was Nate's first 

week with the department and 

he could not have known what 

was about to happen. Jamie and 

Nate had experienced the deception 

that comes with a fire this 

large. They believed they were 

fighting the body of a fire bearing 

northeast when in truth, 

they were only pulling on its 

tail. It was a massive fire and 

smoke hid the outline of the true 

beast that strode away from 

them. Deer fled the forest in an 

eastward direction, which perhaps 

revealed the true northward 

progression of the fire. The 

two volunteers accepted this 

new reality and tried to get 

around to the front of the fire 

but in 15 minutes it had traveled 

the quarter mile and 

crossed Marshall County 2. 

This fire chose the playing 

field based on available fuel 

(grass, trees), wind and moisture. 

The fire departments could 

add moisture and remove fuel 

with backfires, but they needed 

to change the playing field. The 

volunteers needed volunteers. 

There is no way possible that 

volunteer fire departments 

could afford the equipment 

needed to fight this particular 

fire. Thief River Falls Radio

broadcast a request for help, 

massive help. They needed bulldozers, 

tractors with tillage and 

operators. Farmers pressured 

with last-second field work and 

heavy-equipment operators racing 

freeze-up left their workplaces 

and took a spot on the 

fire line. In some cases, they 

were so close to the fire that 

they could feel the pressure and 

heat of the fire only feet away. 

The fire jumped Marshall 

County 8 somewhere north of 

Davin Halvorson's place. This 

was a crucial time in the life of 

the fire as it was here that it 

destroyed two buildings and had 

the chance for more. The fire 

was not a ball, but more like a 

hand with fingers leading it. It 

came close enough to homes to 

burn siding, but that is all it got. 

Drop tanks are like heavyduty, 

above-ground swimming 

pools. Two drop-tanks were set 

up and filled by fire tanker 

trucks, farmers with water 

tanks and concrete trucks. 

These spots were set-up based 

on accessibility, progression of 

the fire and geography. 

Firefighters then filled trucks 

from the tanks, went to cut the 

fingers of the hand of the fire as 

it sought more fuel. Local 

knowledge of the terrain proved 

to be very important as natural 

barriers and field roads were an 

important part of the playing 

field. This was a fire that 

jumped roads and even tilled 

fire breaks 100 feet in width. In 

some cases, volunteers disked, 

bulldozed and chisel-plowed 

areas much larger than would 

have previously ever been needed. 

This was a fire that required 

everyone to think bigger and 

accept changing situations, only 

partially seen through smoke. 

In the end, the firemen say 

the same thing; they are thankful 

and proud of the support of 

their communities. They asked 

me to tell you THANK YOU. 

They are thankful to mutual aid 

assistance from other volunteer 

departments, farmer and heavy 

construction volunteers and to 

the people who provided them 

much-needed food and water. 

These are the same people who 

left work to fight a fire that was 

beyond most of our concepts and 

won. It was the cooperation, 

resourcefulness, quick-thinking 

and courage of these people that 

made all the difference. They 

are the best of us and we are 

lucky to have them. 

As a footnote, if I forgot to 

mention anyone who helped in 

this fight, I am sorry. You have 

our thanks even if you did not 

appear here in name or by 

group.

Two people were injured after a two-vehicle accident Tuesday 

afternoon at the intersection of U.S. Highway 59 and Marshall 

County Road 2. A Minnesota State Patrol dispatcher said Michelle 

Hunt of Viking went to Sanford Medical Center in Thief River Falls 

and Gregory Hufnagle of Newfolden was treated at the scene. A 

Sanford nursing supervisor said Hunt wasn’t listed as a patient 

there Thursday. At the time of the accident, Hunt was driving a 

2008 Chevy Impala and Hufnagle was driving this 1999 Chevy pickup. 

Both were driving on Highway 59 and attempting to turn onto 

County Road 2. The vehicles then collided. The dispatcher said 

Hufnagle is a Newfolden firefighter who was responding to a nearby 

fire at the time. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts. 

Both vehicles were totalled. The State Patrol was dispatched to 

the scene at 2:37 p.m. Tuesday. 

Photographer Doug 

Ohman to share journey 

Enjoy America’s best loved 

river from the front seat of a 

canoe with photographer Doug 

Ohman on Wednesday, Oct. 17 

at 9:30 a.m. at St. Mary’s 

Church in Fosston. 

Last spring, Ohman shared 

the first half of his journey down 

the Mississippi and now returns 

to continue down the mighty 

Mississippi River as it makes its 

way from the Twin Cities to the 

Iowa border. Along the way, 

attendees will travel with 

Ohman through a number of 

Army Corps of Engineers locks 

and explore some of Minnesota’s 

most scenic and historic towns. 

He will also show attendees 

through his photography how 

important the river is to the economic 

and environmental 

health of the state. 

Ohman has explored much of 

the river’s history, culture and, 

of course, the beauty through 

his photography and personal 

stories. 

Ohman is a freelance photographer 

and popular public 

speaker. He has traveled 

throughout the upper Midwest 

photographing historic architecture. 

His work has been widely 

published in magazines, calendars 

and books. Over the past 

seven years, he has been working 

with the Minnesota 

Historical Society on the popular 

book series “Minnesota 

Byways.” Recently, he completed 

a new book on “Minnesota 

State Parks.” 

Ohman’s work is available in 

art prints, matted and framed. 

His work can be found throughout 

the Midwest at fine shops 

and boutiques. He also is 

involved in many community 

art and craft fairs. His photos 

can be seen at www.pioneerphotography.com. 

Ohman has degrees in both 

geography and history from the 

University of Minnesota. His 

interest in these subjects has 

translated well to his work as a 

photographer. His photography 

talent is self-taught. Before 

becoming a full-time photographer, 

Ohman was the operations 

manager at the Mall of America.

route. Future runs will have 

long and short distance options. 

Runners start together, run at 

whatever pace they choose, and 

then meet up as a group back at 

the parking lot. 

The River Runners will continue 

to meet on Tuesdays at 6 

p.m. in the Anytime Fitness 

parking lot. The group will run 

rain, snow, or shine - dress 

accordingly. Anyone is welcome 

to join. For more information,

and abduction lasting two 

weeks. Her message is that 

there is hope for all victims of 

domestic violence, hope for survival, 

and hope for a violencefree 

future.

There remains hope 

among the ashes 

There were a lot of sad and concerned 

faces in Karlstad when I drove through 

there Wednesday morning. The impact of 

what had happened the evening before was 

just beginning to set in. 

The smoke and ash were still open 

wounds Wednesday morning. The day 

before, fire, driven by winds of over 40 mph, 

swept up to the very fringe of the community, 

and in the process, upsetting lives and 

destroying something like 20 structures, 

which included several homes. 

Karlstad was one of several communities 

threatened by fire Tuesday. At times, on 

Tuesday, it seemed like fires were popping 

up in different locations all at the same 

time. The fires consumed thousands of 

acres, and didn’t make any distinction 

between new, used or abandoned structures. 

It seemed confused and chaotic - 

skipping over some structures, burning others, 

leaving abandoned barns, and burning 

homes while leaving lawn furniture 

untouched. Ahead of the fires, people were 

told to grab what they could and leave their 

homes. 

Amid this chaotic scene arrived firefighters 

- citizen volunteers and full-time firefighters, 

Department of Natural Resource 

personnel, Fish and Wildlife personnel, law 

enforcement, emergency responders and 

members of the National Guard. In all, 

there were hundreds of responders. 

Wednesday, the fire was the talk of the 

town, of course. One resident described 

flames licking at the sides of homes as he 

fled down the highway. He said that if it 

had not been for so many firefighters from 

so many other communities, it might have 

been much worse in Karlstad. 

This resident and others were right when 

they said, it could have been much worse. 

There are examples in the state’s history of 

it being much worse and conditions

Tuesday were about as ideal for a terrible 

and life-threatening situation as we’ve ever 

had. Yes, but for the efforts, knowledge and 

experience of all these firefighters and 

emergency responders, it could have been 

much worse. 

Wednesday morning, residents were 

greeted by a blackened landscape, barren of 

the bright colors of autumn that blanketed 

the region last weekend. 

Amidst this landscape, an owner of one of 

the homes destroyed by fire wished that he 

had stayed a little longer to claim more of 

his personal belongings before the fire 

destroyed his home. With tears falling on 

his cheeks, he said he wasn’t worried about 

finding a place to stay. Family and friends 

had quickly offered him a place to rest 

while he figured out his next step. 

At The Meadows Assisted Living Center, 

volunteers showed up early Wednesday 

morning ready to roll up their sleeves and 

go to work. They were confident in their 

expectation that things will get better, and 

were willing to put some effort into making 

sure that it would. I suspect a majority of 

residents of Karlstad are like that because 

people all over northwestern Minnesota are 

like that. 

Firefighters and emergency personnel 

receive extensive training, not only in how 

to fight fires, but how to work together in 

the event of an emergency. On Tuesday, 

they experienced one of the biggest tests of 

their training. I think they passed with flying 

colors, though I’m willing to bet they are 

assessing their communication skills, looking 

at command structures and reexamining 

their equipment with an eye toward 

what would have made their efforts more 

successful. I think they’ll find supportive, 

and thankful communities. 

In the days and weeks to come, it is likely 

that residents will experience a wide 

range of emotions. We ask for continued 

patience and support for those individuals 

who lost so much during the fires.

Klobuchar and Peterson tour region 

by David Hill 

Editor 

A tour of northwestern 

Minnesota to visit with business 

leaders and local representatives 

turned into an unexpected 

survey of fire damage. 

Sen. Amy Klobuchar had 

been in northwestern 

Minnesota on her Made in 

America tour when fire broke 

out in the region. “Today, I saw 

firsthand the damage caused by 

the Karlstad fire, and the 

incredible effort by firefighters 

and volunteers from across the 

region and the state. Without 

their immediate help, the town 

would have been lost,” said 

Klobuchar. 

Earlier, Klobuchar had met 

with local businesses and community 

leaders in Crookston, 

Thief River Falls, Red Lake 

Falls, Oslo, Hallock and 

Greenbush. Congressman Collin 

Peterson accompanied 

Klobuchar for many of the stops. 

And, State Sen. LeRoy Stumpf 

joined them in Thief River Falls 

on Tuesday night. 

At Dee’s Kitchen in Thief 

River Falls Tuesday night, 

Klobuchar said area leaders had 

expressed their concern for finding 

enough workers, housing, 

making sure employees have 

the training necessary to move 

economic growth, the need for a 

strong Farm Bill, and for leaders 

who can get things done. 

Both Peterson and Klobuchar 

expressed concern about a number 

of important bills, such as 

the Farm Bill and continuation 

of tax cuts, being delayed by 

right-wing groups that are 

unwilling to compromise. 

Klobuchar noted that the bills 

had made it through the Senate 

with bipartisan support, but 

had been stalled in Congress. 

The same thing, she said, happened 

with the Transportation 

Bill. 

Peterson acknowledged that 

there have been difficulties getting 

bills through Congress. He 

said the right wing has hijacked 

the Republican Party, and that 

the party is hardly recognizeable. 

Klobuchar and Peterson said 

there has been some talk about 

a “mega deal” after the election 

that will take into account several 

bills at the same time, but 

they thought that was somewhat 

problematic because it 

would encompass so many different 

topics. 

One of those major items they 

will have to address is “sequestration.” 

According to David Grant, 

staff writer for The Christian 

Science Monitor, sequestration 

was the result of last summer’s 

debt ceiling deal, which cut $1 

trillion in government spending 

over the next decade outright 

and then put responsibility for 

finding another $1.2 trillion on 

Congress. 

Because Congress failed to 

agree on the mixture of lower 

spending and higher taxes to hit 

that figure, a mechanism in the 

debt ceiling-raising legislation 

causes automatic spending 

decreases to hit the $1.2 trillion 

figure: about $109 billion in 

lower government spending 

every year for the next decade. 

While the Legislature seems 

deadlocked on many important 

issuers, Klobuchar expressed 

hope for a new group of 

Democrats and Republicans 

who seem willing to get things 

done. 

Peterson expressed some 

optimism about picking up some 

seats in the next election. 

Both, however, were preoccupied 

with the fires and damages 

to people and property. 

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, State Senator LeRoy Stumpf and 

Congressman Collin Peterson met at Dee’s Kitchen in Thief River 

Falls on Tuesday to discuss many issues facing constituents in the 

region, including the fires.


“Binocular Clinics” Oct. and Nov. at local libraries 

What’s the “best” binocular? 

“There’s no simple answer,” 

says Heidi Hughes of Agassiz 

Audubon Society in Warren. 

“Binoculars are like shoes – and 

there’s no “one size fits all.” 

Hughes said, no matter how 

much an individual spends and 

how many 'bells and whistles' 

are available, the most important 

factor in selecting binoculars 

is how they fit. 

With so many different models 

these days, how does one 

find the right fit? Where does he 

or she start? 

Attend a “Binocular Clinic” at 

a local Northwest Regional 

Library in October. Hughes is 

presenting 60-minute programs 

- “Binoculars: How to use Them 

– and How to buy the Right 

Model for You” in Red Lake 

Falls, Greenbush, Warroad, 

Roseau, Warren, Hallock, Thief 

River Falls and East Grand 

Forks. 

Hughes, a former optics 

retailer, knows binoculars. 

She’ll explain what individuals 

need to know about the “numbers” 

(as in 7x35), prisms, 

brightness, coatings and eye 

relief. She’ll show individuals 

what’s best for eyeglass wearers 

and how to determine the right 

“fit” for face and hands. 

Individuals are encouraged to 

bring their own binoculars for a 

quick check up. 

There will be 6x, 7x, 8x and 

10x binoculars for participants 

to try out. Eagle Optics, the 

Internet binoculars retailer, has 

provided Vortex binoculars for 

participants to try out. Leupold 

6x30, Zeiss 7x42, Pentax 6.5x21, 

Bushnell 7x26 and Cabela’s 

8x30 will also be available for 

individuals to try. 

Hughes will explain how to 

select binoculars for all-around 

use, and show participants what 

works well for backyard birding, 

watching butterflies, sports, 

hunting, kids and travel. 

Admission is free. For more 

information, contact Hughes at

Biggest challenge facing 

Thief River Falls coach Laurie 

Bitter in Tuesday’s high school 

volleyball match was trying to 

squeeze a dozen players into a 

three-set, 52-minute win over 

Park Rapids Area. 

“Everybody got in,” she said. 

“All 12 girls on the varsity roster 

played. That’s not an easy 

thing to do when you only play 

three.” 

The Prowlers celebrated 

homecoming week with a 25-6, 

25-11, 25-15 sweep. It was their 

second straight 3-0 win over an 

area opponent following a 3-2 

showing against a field of stateranked 

teams at the Sept. 21-22 

Southwest Minnesota Christian 

AA Showcase Tournament. 

“We’re at the point of the season 

where we need to play 

strong teams,” offered Bitter. 

“That’s why that tournament 

was so important. It meant a 

million dollars to us.” 

Thief River Falls improved to 

11-3. Park Rapids Area fell to 4- 

13 

Ṫhe Panthers had two leads 

all night – 1-0 in both the first 

and third sets. Their hitting 

errors closed out the first two 

contests, and they were called 

for being in the net for the final 

point of the night. 

“We’re playing well,” noted 

Bitter. “We’ve improved a lot.” 

Brooke Anderson had six kills 

and six service aces to lead the 

Prowlers’ balanced offense. 

Setter Shelby Norlin was credited 

with 24 assists and libero 

Emily Bergland finished with a 

team-leading five digs. 

“Our defense looks good,” 

stated Bitter. “We want to get 

our offense down; we want to get 

everybody hitting.” 

Thief River Falls’ 2012 regular 

season home schedule ends 

Setter Shelby Norlin put a Thief River Falls teammate in 

position for a spike attempt with this pass during 

Tuesday’s high school volleyball match against Park Rapids 

Area. The Prowlers beat the visiting Panthers 3-0. 

Thief River Falls sweeps Park Rapids Area 3-0... 

One-sided win for Prowlers 

Emily Bergland bumped the ball into play after the Thief 

River Falls libero defensive specialist received a Park 

Rapids Area serve during Tuesday high school volleyball 

action.

Weather affects teams 

Thursday’s Thief River Falls 

sports schedule was erased by 

the blizzard-like conditions that 

hit the area. 

Events called off included a 

Northland Community and 

Technical College football game 

at Itasca, along with a Lincoln 

High School volleyball match at 

Win-E-Mac, an LHS girls swimming 

meet at Grand Rapids and 

the high school boys/girls cross 

country races at Perham. 

The Pioneers and Vikings 

rescheduled their football game 

to today (Saturday) at 2 p.m. 

Thief River Falls and Win-E- 

Mac moved their volleyball 

match to Monday, Oct. 8.


Pioneers make it 

a three-way race 

Two hurdles stand between 

Northland and first place in the 

Minnesota College Athletic 

Conference Northern Division 

volleyball standings: Central 

Lakes and Itasca. The Pioneers 

cleared one of those obstacles 

Wednesday with a stunningly 

easy 25-17, 25-15, 25-12 home 

court win over the Vikings. 

Those two teams are now 

locked in a second place tie with 

matching 6-2 division records. 

First place Central Lakes went 

to 8-0 that same night with a 

25-8, 25-11, 25-14 victory over 

struggling Fond du Lac. 

Northland and Itasca lost 

their first meetings with 

Central Lakes earlier, but both 

the Pioneers and Vikings have 

rematches with the Raiders in 

the final weeks of the 2012 regular 

season schedule. 

Top four Northern Division 

finishers will compete in the 

National Junior College Athletic 

Association Division III Region 

13B playoffs, with the division 

winner hosting the national 

tournament qualifier. The 

Pioneers are the defending division 

and region champions. 

Wednesday was the fourth 

time Itasca and Northland have 

met this fall. The Pioneers won 

2-1 when they squared off in the 

first round of the Aug. 25 season-opening 

Minnesota State- 

Fergus Falls Invitational. The 

Vikings swept a 3-0 Sept. 5 

match that opened the divisioncounting 

schedule for both 

teams, and they came out a 2-1 

winner when they met in the 

finals of the Itasca Invitational 

three days later. 

This one was tied 9-9 in the 

first set before Northland took 

over. 

“After that, the girls fired up 

and starting putting points on 

the board,” said Northland 

coach Abdul Chamma. “All the 

girls did a great job. We were 

very aggressive. They played 

almost their best game of the 

season.” 

Northland won despite playing 

without starter Alie Dorn, a 

5-6 freshman outside hitter 

from Thief River Falls who may 

be lost for the rest of the season 

due to an injury. 

“We had to figure out a different 

rotation, and that worked,” 

Basketball clinic canceled 

Pioneer Youth Basketball 

Clinic that was scheduled today 

(Saturday) at Challenger 

Elementary School has been 

canceled. 

The event was to be sponsored 

by Northland Community 

and Technical College. 

Crookston won all 11 events 

en route to a 104-59 Thursday 

(Oct. 27) girls high school swim 

meet victory over Thief River 

Falls at the Franklin Middle 

School pool.

practice preparing the girls for 

the game” 

The Pioneers were 15-7 overall 

heading into a weekend road 

trip that included a Friday

Saturday matinee at Mesabi

Fond du Lac before closing out 

their home schedule with Oct. 

12/13 matches against Hibbing 

and Rainy River. 

All that will lead to an Oct. 

17 Northland regular season 

Northern Division finale at 

Central Lakes. 

The Raiders’ victory over 

Fond du Lac Wednesday gave 

Jane Anderson her 500th win as 

a head coach. 

Mesabi Range and Hibbing, 

battling for the No. 4 spot in the 

Northern Division, were both 

Wednesday winners. The Norse

June Efta retires after a 

42-year career with USPS 

(Editor’s note: June Efta 

brought this story, written by 

Mavis Gonshorowski of the 

Greenbush Tribune, to The 

Times in Thief River Falls and 

asked us to reprint it. Efta was 

born and raised at a rural Thief 

River Falls home located near 

the Kratka Bridge. She is the 

youngest daughter of Ben and 

Mary Szymanski.) 

The end of this month will 

find 81-year-old June Efta of 

rural Greenbush closing a long 

and successful chapter of her 

life story. 

After a 42-year postal career 

with the United States Postal 

Service, she officially retired. 

“My actual date of retirement 

was July 31, but the Postmaster 

of Operations asked that I stay 

here at the post office in 

Strathcona until Sept. 30, when 

my position will be filled with 

an officer in charge,” she said. 

After graduating from 

Lincoln High School in Thief 

River Falls, June Szymanski 

attended Teachers Training at 

Bemidji State College, graduating 

with a teaching degree in 

elementary education. She 

taught intermediate grades at 

the Haug-Leo, Roosevelt and 

Greenbush Schools for six years, 

followed by doing substitute 

teaching in local area schools. 

Her career with the USPS 

began in 1970, when she was 

hired as a part-time postal clerk 

in Greenbush. The late Dyke 

(Vernon) Temanson was the 

postmaster. 

“I was here for 16 years helping 

wherever needed and 

accepted all offers for detail 

positions.” 

Her work then took her to 

Roseau, where she spent fourand-a-half 

years, doing a split 

shift, which meant making trips 

twice daily to Roseau and back 

home again, and helped out as a 

city carrier when needed. She 

assisted in the post offices at 

Lancaster and Thief River Falls 

and was officer-in-charge of 

detail assignments expanding 

over a period of 43 months at 

the Gatzke, Lake Bronson, 

Badger and Strathcona post 

offices. She also delivered rural 

route mail at Greenbush and 

Strathcona on occasion. 

On Aug. 30, 1986, Efta was 

June Efta of rural Greenbush 

recently stamped “retired” on 

her career with the United 

States Postal Service. She 

spent 42 years with USPS. 

appointed as postmaster at the 

Strathcona Post Office. Here 

she would spend the next 26 

years. 

“Many changes have taken 

place during the past 42 years,” 

she said. “The technology, computers, 

bar code scanners, 

money order machines and credit 

card machines are just a few 

of the changes. We still have 

paperwork to do, but most surveys, 

reports, training, ordering 

stamps, supplies, accounting 

and time cards are done on the 

computer.” 

Efta said some of the daily 

tasks required are bar code 

scanning for boxing, distribution, 

collecting and dispatch 

times. Incoming and outgoing 

mail with special bar codes 

require scanning along with the 

recording of arrival and delivery 

times and signature confirmation. 

She has witnessed the once 

lickable postage stamps go to 

non-lickable; the “forever” 

stamps replacing those bearing 

their current cost. Addresses 

that included rural route and 

box numbers are strictly now 

street addresses. And in 

February 2010, rural mail delivery 

out of Strathcona was discontinued 

and is now delivered 

out of the Middle River Post 

Office. 

Some of those whom June 

credited for influencing and 

inspiring her in her career were 

Postmasters Dyke Temanson, 

Glendora Novacek, Floyd Olson, 

Clarence Peterson, Petra 

Larson and Richard McCloskey. 

During her postmaster days 

in Strathcona, she has many 

great memories of customers, 

friends, coworkers and mentors. 

And, her many thanks to rural 

carriers: Marjorie Christiansen, 

Leland Larson, Lowell 

Scramstad and Marlo Nelson, 

rural carrier associate; and to 

Diane Shafer, Arlaine Duray, 

Karen Lorenson and Patty 

Wojciechowski, postmaster 

replacements. 

Of course, Old Man Winter 

had his way of throwing curves 

every now and then, June said. 

“There were icy roads, blizzards, 

sometimes keeping one from not 

being able to get home. If weather 

conditions were life threatening, 

we’d call the postmaster of 

operations and let him know. 

Although, if it were that bad, 

the mail trucks weren’t able to 

make deliveries anyway. 

“Throughout my long career, 

the Postal Service has been a 

good employer and organization 

to work for, and I’m grateful for 

all of the awards and certificates 

of appreciation I received.” 

June Szymanski and 

Raymond Efta were married 

June 30, 1953. They raised a 

family of eight children: Robert 

(Marsha) of Badger; Charles 

(deceased); Patricia (Henry 

Tiber), Minnetonka; Julie (Andy 

Viner), Roseville; Jacqueline 

(Paul Demes), Western Spring, 

Ill.; Elizabeth (Eric Klein), 

Roseau; Kathleen (Todd 

Kohner), Edina; and Laurie 

(Carl Aust), Minnetonka. The 

Efta family also includes 12 

grandchildren. 

“I’m looking forward to a 

change of pace that includes 

traveling more with my husband, 

enjoying the beauty of 

nature, flowers, photography 

and spending time visiting family 

and friends.” 

She gave these words of 

advice, “Enjoy the moment 

where you are in life. Don’t 

count the years, but your interests 

and all your blessings. Be 

grateful; enjoy each day to the 

fullest. Life is good.” 

Happy retirement, June Efta!

All that remained of these three homes was ash

homes. (Submitted by Rep. Dan Fabian) 

Many of the aircraft used to fight fires in northwestern 

Minnesota Tuesday afternoon, took on 

fuel and water at the Thief River Falls Regional 

Airport. This is one of the two Black Hawk helicopters, 

authorized by Gov. Mark Dayton, to be 

used to fight the fires. Behind it is a Sikorsky S-

Tuesday afternoon, firefighters were battling a 

smoking blaze at a country residence near 

Viking. The smoke could be seen for miles. 

The fire that burned thousands of acres near 

Karlstad, also destroyed several homes, including 

several homes in the Sundby Trailer Court, 

which is owned by Arvin Sundby, and is located 

on the west side of Karlstad. Four trailers and a 

utility van were lost in the fire. (Photos courtesy

The heavy, wet snow was knocking down tree 

branches throughout the region on Thursday, 

Oct. 4. Several power outages were affecting 

schools, businesses and residences. The snow 

was also making travel hazardous.

belongings. 

Lund had been in the house 

since 1999. Before that his 

brother lived there and before 

that an uncle. He estimated 

that someone from his family 

had been living in the home 

since 1949. He didn’t grow up 

there. He grew up on a farm a 

little further west. 

Lund retired to Karlstad in 

1999 after working and living in 

St. Paul. During his career, he 

had worked at Fisher Nuts, 

Hieleman Brewing, and a few 

other places. 

For a moment yesterday, 

Lund said he thought he’d be 

alright. His home is on the 

north side of Highway 11, but 

then he said the wind, which 

had been roaring at about 40 

mph all day, switched. The fire 

jumped the road, swept up 

behind his home, through a 

dried-up swamp and a thick 

stand of evergreen trees, and … 

his home was gone.

the nursing home and assisted 

living facility. 

Straw expected the 69 residents 

would be able to return 

Friday at the earliest. She indicated 

that the building sustained 

smoke damage. Other 

evacuees were allowed to return 

home Wednesday afternoon. 

Straw called the staff rock 

stars for their work in making 

sure the residents stayed safe. 

She thanked all of the firefighters 

as well as the community. 

Straw noted community members 

helped with food, water 

and pushing wheelchair-bound 

residents down the street to the 

church. 

Tri-County School students 

were evacuated to Halma Hall, 

where their parents picked 

them up. School was cancelled 

the next day. 

Fire departments from as far 

away as Fosston, Fertile and 

East Grand Forks assisted in 

fighting the blaze. Also assisting 

were National Guard 

Blackhawk helicopters, a 

Chinook helicopter and a retardant 

tanker carrying 2,950 gallons 

of fire retardant, according 

to the Minnesota Incident 

Command System. 

A meeting was held 

Wednesday night at Tri-County 

School in Karlstad. More than 

100 residents attended the 

meeting and heard about the 

current situation and upcoming 

plans. 

Fourtown fire 

A fire also burns near 

Fourtown. It burned 24,700 

acres as of Thursday morning. 

The fire traveled 11 miles on 

Wednesday alone. 

Grygla Fire Chief Bob 

Thompson said no structures 

have been damaged in the fire. 

Grygla firefighters and the DNR 

were involved in the initial 

response to the fire. Grygla firefighters 

are now hauling water 

in the department’s tankers to 

and from the fire while the DNR 

is in charge of incident command. 

Peat accounts for most of the 

vegetation now on fire, 

Thompson said. He added that 

firefighters stopped fighting the 

blaze Thursday due to the snow 

and planned to return once the 

snow stopped. He noted most of 

the smaller portions of the fire 

were out or contained. 

Many local fire departments 

and out-of-area firefighters have 

responded to the Fourtown fire, 

including the Thief River Falls 

Fire Department. That department 

provided aid for two other 

fires this week as well – one 

near Viking and another near 

St. Hilaire. On Facebook, residents 

noted they were housing 

out-of-area firefighters who 

were fighting the Fourtown 

blaze. Local all-terrain vehicle 

manufacturers provided ATVs 

for firefighters to use on trails in 

the most remote areas of the 

fire. 

Local legislators debate election reform 


one committee and again during 

a lengthy discussion on the 

Senate floor, and said there are 

way more unanswered questions 

than answered questions. 

Stumpf said there are 

approximately 38,000 registered 

voters in Senate District 1. 

Approximately 27,000 showed 

up to vote, with 2,280 registering 

on Election Day; 1,659 voting 

absentee and 5,303 completing 

mail-in ballots. 

“About one-third of District 1 

registered voters will be impacted 

by this legislation,” Stumpf 

said. 

Stumpf used literature provided 

by Minnesota Secretary of 

State Mark Ritchie to breakdown 

the amendment one line 

at time. He said the requirement 

that identification be government-issued 

instead of government 

approved means that 

certain forms of ID currently 

permitted, like IDs from private 

colleges, will no longer be 

acceptable. 

There are also concerns about 

the potential cost to issue IDs to 

eligible voters who don’t currently 

possess a governmentissued 

ID. Between 144,000 and 

2 1 5 , 0 0 0 v o t i n g - a g e 

Minnesotans, depending on the 

database used, are without 

Minnesota-issued IDs. While 

the state will pay for these IDs 

to be issued, the cost to obtain 

the documents needed to get an 

ID will fall on the individual trying 

to obtain an ID. 

Stumpf and the secretary of 

Lund walked through some 

ash and checked his propane 

tank. It appeared charred, but 

had been turned off. He said 

he’d have to thank someone for 

that. 

Lund looked to the west. The 

fire was fickle. Two nearby large 

diesel tanks of gas that he had 

filled this week were untouched. 

Lund shook his head. 

Lund said he stayed with 

friends last night. He said he’s 

got places to go where he can 

stay, but … . 

Just that day, he said, he had 

Direct TV hooked up. A month 

ago, he bought a new television. 

His brother drove up. “You 

didn’t go to work?” enquired 

Lund. His brother shook his 

head. “Do you have a place for 

me to stay?” he asked. “Of 

course.” 

Waking up 

Everywhere in Karlstad, people 

were beginning to wake up 

and look around. Some looked 

forlornly at a pile of rubble, still 

From the family of Millie Thorstad

but will always live in the hearts

smoldering. Others were taking 

pictures or talking quietly in 

driveways. But in this bleak 

atmosphere, there were others 

who were ready to role up their 

sleeves and go to work. 

Fire came right up to The 

Meadows Assisted Living 

Residence Tuesday. Fire roared 

up the large field and swamp 

behind the facility, but stopped 

just short of the facility. 

Staff said they weren’t sure 

when residents were evacuated. 

The moments leading up to the 

evacuation had been very hectic. 

Those residents are now scattered 

about the countryside. 

Some are living with relatives. 

They won’t return until it’s safe 

to return, and/or until they can 

clean the smell of smoke out of 

the rooms. The smell of smoke 

was everywhere and in everything. 

Just then, Del Swanson, a 

retired resident of Karlstad 

came in to retrieve some items 

for his mother who had been a 

state also take issue with provisional 

ballots being used for voters 

who do not possess a government 

issued ID. Stumpf said 

nationwide, 30 percent of provisional 

ballots are never counted. 

Creating the most questions, 

according to Stumpf, is the final 

language of the amendment 

that requires all absentee and 

mail-in voters to have their 

identity verified in a way that is 

substantially equivalent to a 

voter voting in-person who provides 

a photo ID to an election 

judge. “Nobody knows how this 

would work,” Stumpf said. 

Stumpf said election reform 

is typically preceded by strong 

bipartisan support, but that 

wasn’t the case here. He said 

there was not a single 

Democratic vote in favor of the 

new legislation in either house. 

“The information provided 

was fuzzy and the reason for 

change was never demonstrated,” 

Stumpf said. “The premise 

that this is needed – that our 

election system is in shambles – 

should definitely be questioned.” 

Fabian used three 2010 

recounts as reason number one 

to begin requiring all voters to 

show a photo ID before voting. 

The three recounts, which all 

occurred in state representative 

races, were decided by a combined 

margin of 103 votes. 

“We know that elections are 

very close,” Fabian said. “It’s 

very important to me that we 

have integrity.” 

Before illustrating why election 

reform is necessary, Fabian 

asked about the Marshall 

County process to register for 

voting by mail. He was told that 

registration is done first, and 

voters must provide their name, 

address and Social Security 

number. That information is 

later verified to be true. 

Fabian said he just wants to 

see all voters face the same 

requirements. “I’m concerned 

that if I go to a polling place, I 

may not be held to the same 

standard,” Fabian said. “If I provided 

false information, I could 

be punished, but my vote still 

counts.” 

Fabian said he appreciates 

that unregistered voters will go 

to polling places on Election Day 

to vote. But he would also like to 

see the process started sooner. 

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable 

to ask people to provide 

information to say they are who 

they say they are,” Fabian said. 

Fabian addressed concerns 

over the potential loss of mail-in 

balloting, saying that there are 

members of both houses that 

would fight any bill that 

removes the option of voting by 

mail or absentee voting. 

Fabian also noted that his 

mother lives in a nursing home 

in Staples and his son is in the 

military. “I would never do anything 

to jeopardize their ability 

to vote,” Fabian said. “It’s 

important to me that we have as 

much election integrity as we 

can.” 

resident and had been evacuated. 

He offered to help. “No,” he 

said in response to enquiries 

from staff, they were OK - his 

home was safe. A neighbor’s 

home at the end of his street 

had burned down. He described 

spending five anxious hours on 

the highway waiting to get back 

to see if he had a home. 

Swanson said it could have 

been worse. He said there were 

homes in his neighborhood 

where flames came right up 

against the homes. Swanson 

acknowledged the presence of 

many area fire department personnel. 

He said he couldn’t 

believe what they were able to 

save. “If we had not had the help 

we did, we wouldn’t have a 

town.” 

Just then, another Karlstad 

resident walked in and 

announced she was ready to volunteer 

to help and do anything 

she could. “No,” she said, her 

home was safe. 

The Eastern Region Type 2 

Incident Management Team 

was expected to assume command 

of the Fourtown fire 

Saturday (today). MNICS noted 

this will allow more resources to 

concentrate specifically on this 

fire, which remains under investigation. 

Viking fire 

A third fire burns near 

Viking. Fire Chief Bryan 

Bolstad said it has burned about 

1,300 acres. No homes have 

been damaged. MNICS noted

destroyed. 

Peat continued to burn in 

that area Thursday morning. 

Firefighters were expected to 

meet Thursday to determine 

how to approach the peat fire 

and, in particular, whether to 

try to work the recent snow into 

the peat. 

Bolstad said the fire was 

reported at about 12:30 p.m. 

Tuesday near Marshall County 

Road 2. He noted firefighters 

responded to a fire in the vicinity 

of the railroad tracks last 

week. At that time, a railroad 

crew was working on the tracks 

and sparks ignited the grass. 

Bolstad said firefighters 

thought they had extinguished 

the fire in the nearby peat. 

However, it wasn’t extinguished. 

On Tuesday, high 

winds carried sparks from that 

fire, sparking a fire in adjacent 

vegetation. 

Bolstad thanked the numerous 

people who helped the 

Viking Fire Department, especially 

nearby fire departments 

and firefighters from Iowa and 

Superior, Wis. He also thanked 

the community for their support, 

especially contractors and 

farmers who provided equipment; 

those who donated food 

and beverages; and those who 

organized the food donations. 

St. Hilaire fire 

A few hundred acres also 

burned three miles west of St. 

Hilaire on Tuesday. Firefighters 

were able to save two nearby 

homes. 

St. Hilaire firefighters were 

dispatched to the scene at about 

3 p.m. Tuesday. St. Hilaire Fire 

Chief Joe Sorvig said firefighters 

received help from Concrete 

Inc. The firm hauled water to 

the scene, enabling firefighters 

to continue fighting the fire and 

not return to St. Hilaire for 

water. Garry Gravel and Wright 

Construction both used bulldozers 

to create fire lines. 

Firefighters also received help 

from the DNR and Brian 

Holmer, who is Sorvig’s incident 

command trainer. 

Sorvig noted that local businesses, 

such as the Dawg 

House, Wal-Mart, Kmart and 

the Evergreen Eating 

Emporium, provided food and 

water to the firefighters. 

Sorvig said he heard people 

were riding dirt bikes in the 

area where the fire started. He 

said a spark from the dirt bikes 

may have ignited the fire. 

Sorvig noted that was a guess 

and no one knows for sure what 

caused the fire. 

MNICS also reports these 

fires: 

• The Richardville fire near 

Lancaster, which has burned 

980 acres, mostly in Manitoba, 

Canada. One residence and four 

outbuildings have been 

destroyed. It is now in patrol 

status. 

• The West Lincoln fire, 

which has burned 15 acres. 

Mop-up is occurring in the hardwoods. 

• The East Park fire, which 

has burned 114 acres with pockets 

of peat on fire. The peat fire 

will need extensive mop-up. 

• The Juneberry fire, north of 

Greenbush. About an acre of 

peat is burning in the interior of 

an area that burned in August. 

It is 99 percent contained. 

The above four fires remain 

under investigation. 

A SLIGHT Change 

in the weather 


areas. The previous record 

snowfall for Oct. 4 or earlier at 

the NWS in Grand Forks was 2 

inches on Oct. 2, 1950. The 

NWS at Grand Forks reported 

3.5 inches of snow with this 

storm on Oct. 4, 2012. While 

records from around the area 

indicate that the Oct. 2, 1950 

storm produced about 2 to 5 

inches around the region with 

localized higher amounts, with 

Leeds, N.D., receiving 7 inches 

on Oct. 2, 1950, and Hallock 4.5 

inches.
