School Board 

revisits 

restructuring 

Warroad - The 

Warroad School Board 

met Monday, March 25 

and revisited the issue 

of administrative 

restructuring. The 

board previously discussed 

the possibility of 

restructuring the activities/athletic 

director/ 

community education 

position. 

“ S u p e r i n t e n d e n t 

Craig Oftedahl presented 

the board with a proposed 

administrative 

model for the next 

school year. The model 

would include the business 

manager/payroll 

positions being rolled 

into one; one principal 

position; one special 

education director; a 

grades 7-12 dean of students; 

and a K-6 dean of 

students. All positions 

would be under the 

supervision of the superintendent. 

“The restructuring of 

the principal positions 

would allow the principal 

to cover the 

increased demand of 

licensed staff observations 

while the dean of 

students positions 

would cover supervision 

demand of the 1,000 students. 

Other responsibilities 

to be divided 

would include athletic 

director, community 

education, supervision, 

American Indian education, 

curriculum development, 

staff development, 

truancy, Title I, 

district assessment coordinator, 

alternative 

delivery system and 

scheduling issues. The 

proposed changes would 

show a cost savings to 

the district, the final 

amount depending on 

how contracts are 

restructured. 

“The board showed 

keen interest in the proposal 

and tabled the 

motion to terminate the 

athletic director/community 

education contract 

until Oftedahl could prepare 

the complete 

details in April.” - 

Warroad Pioneer, April 

2, 2013, by Bill Kirkeby

Argyle Central 

Stephen - “Last 

week, Rhombus Guys 

owners Matt Winjum 

and Arron Hendricks 

visited Stephen-Argyle 

Central High School to 

share their story. As 

young, inexperienced 

18-year-old Thief River 

Falls residents, they 

struck out on the journey 

of a lifetime in 2000 

with a venture in 

smoothie making and 

now hold claim to the 

title of ‘Best Pizza in 

Grand Forks’ as voted 

by consumers for the 

past six years.” - The

$85 million impact 

NCTC has big impact on region’s economy 

Northland Community 

and Technical College generated 

an $85 million impact 

to the northwest region, 

according to a study by 

Wilder Research. Northland 

and its students also generated 

1,152 jobs in the region. 

Additionally, Northland generates 

approximately $5 million 

in state and local tax 

revenues annually. 

Northland serves approximately 

5,700 students each 

year; over 40 percent of 

them are full-time students. 

Northland has campuses in 

East Grand Forks, Thief

Service to her township 

Marion Davidson honored for 50 years of service 

by Shelvie Anderson 

Marion Davidson was 

honored for 50 years of service 

as Township Board treasurer 

by the Holt Township 

Board at its annual meeting 

Tuesday, March 12. 

Marion’s 50 years of service 

is part of an even longer 

legacy of serving – a combined 

total of 86 years 

served by Marion and her 

father, Carl Johnson, in the 

role of Holt Township treasurer 

and board member. 

Marion’s father held the 

elected position for 36 years 

until his death in 1963 at 

the age of 72, when Marion 

was appointed to succeed 

him. 

Marion was among the 

first women to serve on 

township boards in northwestern 

Minnesota. She 

recalls that when asked by 

Township Chairman Alf 

Movick to step into her 

father’s role, she was quite 

hesitant. Marion said, “I told 

him I thought it was a man’s 

job and I didn’t know much 

about roads and other township 

business. But he 

assured me that all I needed 

to do was take care of the 

Regional Airport. Northland 

is accredited by the Higher 

Learning Commission and 

the North Central 

Association of Colleges and 

Schools. The college has a 

total of 354 employees, 

including 233 faculty members. 

In 2011, the college 

awarded 548 associate 

degrees and 573 diplomas 

and certificates. The study 

also concludes that just the 

548 degrees conferred upon 

Northland graduates in 2011 

is equivalent to between 

$37.1 million (Wilder) and 

$64 (Tripp Umbach) million 

of future value created in the 

state. 

township’s money.” 

Marion’s father was elected 

to the township board in 

March 1927. She remembers 

helping him prepare the 

annual treasurer’s report 

starting when she was about 

14 years old. Marion always 

had an eye for detail and 

working with numbers. 

They would sit around the 

family dining room table 

during the winter evenings 

illuminated by an Aladdin 

kerosene lamp. 

In the early days, the 

Board would meet at the 

Pioneer School at the end of 

the farm’s driveway to conduct 

township business. 

Township officer elections 

were held at the school and 

election polling lasted all 

day, followed by the township’s 

annual meeting. 

Every year on the date of the 

annual meeting, the children 

would have the day off 

The study, conducted by 

Wilder Research, defines 

Northland’s economic 

impact in Minnesota’s northwest 

region. Based on the 

region’s economy of $3.8 billion, 

for every $100 produced 

in the region, $2 are related 

to Northland. Northland’s 

$85 million impact on the 

northwest region breaks 

down to a direct impact of 

the college at $64 million, 

while the indirect impact in 

other industries was $21 

million. The college also generated 

1,152 jobs in the 

region. These jobs included 

974 direct jobs, and 178 

additional indirect jobs. 

from school because the 

township business was the 

most important matter of 

the day. 

As treasurer of the 

Township Board, Marion’s 

reputation for accuracy in 

balancing the township’s 

financial records was legendary. 

Gene “Red” Folden, 

who served as township 

chairman for several years, 

recalled that there was one 

“Today, we take for granted the well 

maintained grid of roads following the 

section lines. But that wasn’t always the 

case,” said Davidson. 

time in all her years that 

Marion could not get the 

books to balance. “It was off 

by only two cents,” Red said, 

“and it turned out to be the 

bank’s mistake.” 

Throughout the years, 

township roads have always 

been important business for 

the board members. These 

roads were the lifeline of 

rural farm communities, 

linking one farmstead to the 

next and to the surrounding

Liquor $ 

Sales records of area liquor 

stores released by state 

State Auditor Rebecca 

Otto has released the 2011 

Analysis of Municipal 

Liquor Store Operations. 

The report provides comparative 

data on liquor operations 

owned and operated by 

Minnesota cities. 

In 2011, 208 Minnesota 

cities operated 240 municipal 

liquor stores, with 114 

cities operating both on-sale 

and off-sale liquor establishments 

and 94 cities restricting 

their municipally-owned 

establishments to off-sale 

liquor stores. The majority of 

municipally-owned liquor 

stores are located in Greater 

Minnesota, and 19 cities 

within the Seven-County 

Metro Area own and operate 

liquor establishments. 

Otto’s office reported the 

following information pertaining 

to local municipal 

liquor stores: 

• Goodridge’s on- and offsale

communities. 

“Today, we take for granted 

the well maintained grid 

of roads following the section 

lines. But that wasn’t 

always the case,” said 

Marion. “For many years, 

the township roads went 

unplowed during the winter 

months with the exception 

of the main road that connected 

Holt to Middle River 

and Thief River Falls. 

People traveled by horse and 

sleigh across the fields during 

the winter months. And 

the roads could be extremely 

difficult to travel on during 

spring breakup when mud 

caused many Model Ts and 

early cars to get stuck. 

There were no four-wheel 

drive pickups to make a 

quick trip to town.” 

Marion, like her father, 

has resided nearly all of her 

88 years in Holt Township. 

Marion married Milton 

Davidson of nearby Ringbo 

Township in 1946, and 

together, they raised their 

four children on their 

Centennial Farm – a farm 

loaded with both family and 

community history. Milton 

owned and operated 

Davidson Well Drilling, 

which is now owned by their 

youngest son, Jeff. Milton 

passed away in 2004.

performance programs. 

The Pathfinder Program 

identifies superior Angus 

cows based upon recorded 

performance traits economically 

important to efficient 

beef production. These traits 

include early and regular 

calving and heavy weaning 

weights, Bowman said. More 

than two million eligible 

dams with more than 6.8 

million weaning records 

were examined to determine 

Pathfinder status. All registered 

Angus cows that meet 

the strict Pathfinder standards 

are listed, along with 

their owners, in the 

Pathfinder Report that is 

published annually by the 

association. 

The 2013 Pathfinder 

Report lists 8,680 individual 

cows and 234 Pathfinder 

sires. The largest number of 

Pathfinder cows from a single 

herd this year is 96. The 

report is published online at

Aaron Weil to perform in TRF today 

Aaron Michael Weil will 

be live in concert at the 

Evangelical Covenant 

Church, 1425 Third St. E., 

Thief River Falls, at 7 p.m. 

on Saturday, April 6 (today). 

Half of the offering and all of 

the proceeds from the silent 

auction and bake sale will go 

toward a Kids Against 

Hunger Packing Party on 

April 20. Twenty-five percent 

of what is packed at the 

church will stay with the 

local Area Food Shelf. 

Weil was raised in Idaho 

and has for the last six years 

been living in northern 

Minnesota. Weil has had the 

privilege of being asked to 

play with and open for some 

of the nation’s biggest 

names in music today, 

including, The Sons of the 

Pioneers, Ricky Skaggs and 

Mark Harris (formerly of the 

Contemporary Christian 

group, “4HIM”). 

With his love for the Lord, 

ever present enthusiasm 

and love for people, he has 

made some positive changes 

in the church he and his wife 

attend. Even though Weil 

has been using his musical 

talents in many other areas, 

he still feels the calling to 

perform concerts. In 2006, 

when Weil moved to 

Minnesota, he started performing 

solo concerts in 

many local churches. From 

that point on, his music ministry 

has continued to grow 

and is still growing today. 

Starting in the summer of 

2009, Weil began touring on 

the road with his music ministry 

all across the U.S.

The City of Thief River Falls is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2012. The 

purpose of this report is to advance consumers' understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources. 

Source of Water 

The City of Thief River Falls provides drinking water to its residents from a surface water source: surface water drawn from the Red Lake River. 

The water provided to customers may meet drinking water standards but the Minnesota Department of Health has also made a determination as to 

how vulnerable the source of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding 

your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Also, you can view it online at 

www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa. 

Call 218-681-3809 if you have questions about the City of Thief River Falls drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public 

participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water. 

Results of Monitoring 

No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts 

that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants 

are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2012. If any of these contaminants were 

detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.) 

Key to abbreviations: 

MCLG - Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. 

MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. 

MCL - Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as 

feasible using the best available treatment technology. 

MRDL - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level. 

MRDLG - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal. 

AL - Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment, or other requirement, which a water system must follow. 

90th Percentile Level - This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a 

situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent 

of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to 

determine the 90th percentile level. 

ppm - Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l). 

ppb - Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (µg/l). 

N/A - Not Applicable (does not apply) 

TT - Treatment Technique : A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminent in drinking water.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is 

primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Thief River Falls is responsible for providing 

high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several 

hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. 

If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and 

steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. 

Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under 

the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. 

Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations 

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels 

over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up 

substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. 

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: 

Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria: which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural 

livestock operations, and wildlife. 

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metal: which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm-water runoff, industrial or 

domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. 

Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources: such as agriculture, urban storm-water runoff, and residential uses. 

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and 

petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm-water runoff, and septic systems. 

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. 

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of 

certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled 

water, which must provide the same protection for public health. 

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants 

does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be 

obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. 

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as 

persons with cancer, undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system

Getting ready for 

the boating season 

With snowmobile and ATV trails rapidly 

deteriorating, it may be the ideal 

time to make sure your boats are ready 

for the season. The Minnesota Boating 

guide is online in pdf form at 

www.dnr.state.mn.us or available at 

many outlets in the region. 

For some reason, I always receive 

notice to get a new license tab for my 

little camper in February. Camping is 

the last thing on my mind in February. 

Once the seasons start to change in 

April, however, I begin the difficult 

task of searching for the notice. I’ve 

been caught at the last minute - right 

before I want to hit the road with my 

camper - and discovered that I hadn’t 

renewed the license tab. Rushing about 

like that really puts a crimp in plans 

and seriously affects attitudes. 

We’ve entered or are about to enter a

To the Editor: 

I’m tired of hearing we 

have to be fair and equal - 

fair and equal for who? 

I don’t want anyone to 

suffer in any sphere of their 

lives and want to help those 

who truly can’t care for 

themselves. In many cases, 

however, it appears the programs 

that are there to help 

them prevent them from 

finding out what a blessing 

work and its rewards do for 

mind, body and soul. 

Doesn’t someone who 

works in any way he can to 

support themselves or their 

family deserve high praise 

and the right to keep what 

they earn? 

If you go to college, the 

most favorable aids, grants, 

tuitions, should go to the 

high achievers who will 

work and study to be our 

doctors, engineers, high-tech 

people. Most spend decades 

paying back those loans, and 

putting their lives on hold. If 

you choose a trade, you are 

so needed. If you choose no 

more education, you shouldn’t 

expect pay and perks 

equal to those who have 

applied themselves. 

Who helps the independent, 

small business owner if 

a customer files bankruptcy, 

leaving thousands in unpaid 

bills? Is it fair to allow that 

individual to start over 

again with much the same 

lifestyle? 

I believe politicians need 

to deny themselves like they 

want us to do. They need to 

balance the budget, cut their 

benefits, use the same 

health care plan we are told 

we need, which means no 

more free gyms, personal 

care services, transportation, 

trips that are more of a 

perk. When you leave 

Washington, you should not 

have benefits that equal or 

exceed what you earned. 

Live on your retirement. 

God bless the few who 

really try serve “we the people.” 

Use all you can to control 

the national debt and 

deficits. Don’t cut the rug 

from under our military and 

leave them out to dry. Cut 

waste, but there is a lot 

more waste in such foolish 

studies and political favors 

for votes. 

If anyone chooses to use 

and abuse drugs of any kind, 

why should others be 

responsible to pay the costs? 

If you choose friends and 

activities that lead to wanting 

an abortion, must we, 

who abhor the practice spiritually 

and morally be forced 

to fund it? 

Laws that protect snails, 

fish, birds eggs, animals, 

have harsh penalties, but we 

think killing babies is right

and sane? 

What have we come to as 

a nation? 

I’m thankful for those 

who put all they had into 

starting a business, and 

then reinvested, creating 

jobs for many others. 

The government only gets 

money from the taxed - 

about 50 percent of the population. 

If we tax the rich 

out, no one will be rich, and 

all will be poor. Look at the 

regimes and empires that 

have gone that way. 

I think there is far too 

much corruption. It can stop 

only when we look in the 

mirror, stop playing the 

game, bending the rules, 

using every loophole, no 

matter the cost to society. 

I ask again, fair, equal, 

choice, for who? 

Shirley Sorvig 

Red Lake Falls 


The Second Amendment 

was written to give the 

power to “We the People,” 

and we retain that power, 

not the government. 

The Second Amendment 

should not be equated with 

hunting or hunting regulations; 

nor should it be 

thought to apply to muskets. 

Tremendous advances in 

weaponry had already taken 

place, and it is not a stretch 

to believe that advances 

would continue. If you hold 

that it applies to muskets 

only, consider your First 

Amendment rights. 

Telephones, Internet, television 

and nearly every technology 

that exists today, didn’t 

exist when the First 

Amendment was written. 

Should we attack the 

First Amendment too? 

Expressing hurtful language, 

even protected language, 

can lead to depression, 

suicide, violence and 

death. 

Last time I checked, 

America was based on individual 

rights and personal 

freedoms, not one’s personal 

beliefs or collectivism. 

Let’s look at gun control, 

especially areas with the 

highest amount of gun control. 

California has twice the 

murder rate than most of 

the country. Chicago has the 

highest murder rate in the 

country, higher than even 

Afghanistan. The states of 

Illinois, California, New 

York, and New Jersey have 

some of the highest murder 

rates in the country … and 

the strictest gun control. 

Gun control only affects 

the law abiding citizens, the 

ones that actually contribute 

to society. Gun control doesn’t 

affect the criminals who 

cause the crime. Current

other publications may not coincide with the editor’s own views but 

are offered for their general interest. 

kind of period where getting outside to 

play in the out-of-doors is not optimal. 

Snowmobiling trails are deteriorating 

and the lakes aren’t open yet. So, what 

to do? Not only is it a good time to prepare 

boats for water, but it’s a good 

time to check regulations. Watercraft 

owners should be aware that the 

Aquatic Invasive Species laws have 

changed from 2012. No one wants to 

see invasive species take over our lakes 

and waterways, or for that matter, get 

caught inadvertently carrying an 

aquatic invasive species from one lake 

or waterway to another, so check the 

regulations. In addition to caring about 

our waterways, it’s also important that 

we care about ourselves and the people 

who are in our boats. That said, make 

sure you have the required equipment, 

such as personal flotation devices, and 

the proper lighting, ventilation, flame 

arrestors, and whistles and horns. And, 

don’t forget to pick up your licenses.

legislation only affects law 

abiding citizens. Where are 

the bills that target criminals? 

One bill that did target 

criminals was refused a 

hearing. Gun control groups 

said the bill would hurt communities 

of color by creating 

mandatory minimum sentences 

for gun possession by 

those who shouldn’t have 

them. So what do they want 

to do? If it was about saving 

lives, they’d target the real 

causes, not law abiding citizens. 

Dylan Bjorgaard

In the March 30 edition of 

the Northern Watch, Troy 

Johnson of Thief River Falls 

asked whether we want 

guns laying around school, 

and would five or more low 

lifes take his gun away from 

him and use it on him or others. 

Well, I guess we could 

say the same thing about 

law enforcement officials. 

Should we disarm them? Is 

he saying, teachers are irresponsible 

or incapable of 

being trained? The NRA provides 

excellent training. 

He also said, “two shells 

in a shotgun could be more 

than enough for home 

defense.” What if there were 

two armed intruders? I 

always thought the responsible 

thing might be to fire a 

warning shot, but I guess 

with only two shells, I’ll 

have to shoot to kill first and 

hope I don’t miss. Oh, and if 

there is a third, I guess I’m 

just out of luck. Then, he 

made a comment about 

those of us who wrap ourselves 

in the flag. I ask, 

what is so wrong with that? 

Personally, I’m proud to 

cling to my guns and religion.

Hungry for life 

My storage tank of column 

ideas was empty until 

last night. I had a good 

dream that made me think, 

which then made me write, 

which brings us to the business 

at hand. 

I had a friend die a few 

years ago. He was a good 

guy who was also a good 

farmer. The dream I had 

involved a scenario where 

an older farmer needed help 

putting in his crops. My 

deceased friend and I took 

on the task and were working 

on equipment in a shop 

next to a corn field. It was 

all so real that I can even 

remember the moist smell of 

fresh rain and the location of 

various puddles in the yard. 

At one point, we raced each 

other on foot to the house for 

dinner. I'm always hungry, 

even in my dreams, I'm 

always hungry. 

Here's the deal … I felt 

great when I woke up. I had 

a little different perspective 

on life and that's the story I 

want to share. 

I have been existing in 

stasis the last month. My 

mind is locked into the work 

of spring, but the weather 

has prevented my body from 

joining my mind. I hate this 

feeling, and it is almost like 

I have been tolerating life 

until it begins to mirror my 

expectations. 

I thought about my 

dream and how I was enjoying 

such simple things - 

planning work, executing 

the plan, being hungry and 

the motion of racing to dinner. 

There will be a time in 

all of our lives when those 

simple things will fade or

simply go dark. This is the 

time to not wish for the 

things you want, but want 

the things that already 

exist. These are the memories 

that you must squirrel 

away for a time when memories 

may become tough to 

make. 

I crave the traditional 

beauty of spring, but maybe 

I can take some joy in the 

changing landscape as the 

piles of snow slowly lose 

height if not weight. Maybe I 

can enjoy the delicious 

expectation of the weather I 

know will soon arrive, like 

wanting to destroy 

Christmas wrapping as you 

burrow through cardboard 

to the gift. I like how the 

sunshine slowly changes my 

environment after which the 

changes are locked into 

place by the cold until the 

next spell of warm weather. 

This maybe isn't as dramatic 

as blooms or green grass, 

but it is interesting. This 

time of year is also great for 

bird-watching as word has 

really spread that we offer a 

decent sunflower buffet, so 

we have a lot of birds to see. 

My friend passed on some 

years ago and left a good life 

for many of us to model. 

Last night, I needed a kick 

in the pants to start enjoying 

life again and he gave 

me a good, gentle boot. The 

dream made me covet what I 

see instead of wishing for 

something else and showed 

me a path to be grateful for 

the fullness of what has 

already been given to me. 

The shade of want has been 

pulled from my eyes and I 

can see how good it is to live. 

Now I gotta run, I'm hungry 

again.

Prowlers compete indoors at BSU... 

Second track meet in books 

Like the March 22 opener 

staged at Concordia College 

in Moorhead, the second 

early-season outing of 2013 

for the Thief River Falls 

boys and girls high school 

track teams was an indoor 

meet Tuesday when the 

Prowlers competed in the 

Little Amik Invitational at 

the Gillett Fitness and 

Recreation Center on the 

Bemidji State University 

campus. 

There were 21 teams in 

both portions of the meet. 

Titles went to the Bemidji 

girls and Detroit Lakes boys. 

Thief River Falls girls finished 

in a tie for ninth; Thief 

River Falls boys were tenth. 

Leading the Prowlers’ 

performances was a first 

place finish in the girls 60- 

meter hurdles by freshman 

Meleah Biermaier, who also 

had a third place run in the 

200. 

Top showing for the Thief 

River Falls boys came in the 

3200, where senior Cody 

Pahlen was second and 

freshman Kris Joppru ran 

fourth. 

Next meet for the Lindsey 

Johnson-coached Prowlers 

will be Friday, April 12, at 

Perham.

The Pioneers jump-started 

the 2013 season with a

ten straight losses. Mother 

Nature then forced them to 

call off their next ten scheduled 

starts.

Cost of the clinic is $15 

per person, or $50 per staff 

of up to ten coaches. 

Advance registrations are 

requested by April 10. 

The day begins with registration 

from 7:45 to 8:15 

a.m. A welcome at 8:20 a.m. 

will be offered by Thief River 

Falls superintendent of 

schools Laine Larson, LHS 

principal Shane Zutz and

Cornell, Tim Olson, Glen 

Peters and Jim Sims will be 

held from 4 to 4:30 p.m. to 

wrap things up. 

A social will follow at

up with a four-run fourth 

inning. Alex Bororwicz 

(Strandquist), Cole Larson 

(Red Lake Falls) and Matt 

Noerhing (Lakeville) drove 

in two runs each. 

“Janzen threw a very 

good game,” reported 

Northland coach Barry 

Dowers. “After giving up five 

runs – all with two out – in 

the second inning, he took 

over. He gave up four hits 

that second inning, but only 

one was hit hard. It would 

have been easy for him to 

fold after a run of bad luck 

like that, but he showed why 

he is our ace and really shut 

them down.” 

Four strong innings by 

second-game starter 

Michael Kinzler (East 

Grand Forks) proved instrumental 

in the Game 2 

Northland win for the 

Friday sweep. 

“Michael threw a great 

game,” offered Dowers. “He 

walked a few more guys 

than we would like and went 

deep into the count too often. 

We are still building arm 

strength in our pitchers, so 

we pulled him after four 

innings when his pitch count 

got up to the limit we set for 

him.” 

The Northland offense 

featured a 2-for-3 performance 

by Cole Christianson 

(Greenbush). “Cole hasn’t 

played baseball in a few 

years and has been knocking 

the rust off,” explained 

Dowers. “Today he was on 

his game and hit everything 

hard.” 

Minnesota West scored 

three times in the bottom of 

the seventh to tie the game 

and force extra innings in 

the Saturday opener, then 

won it with a run in the 

ninth. 

“We really let this one get 

away from us,” acknowledged 

Dowers. “Logan Lund 

(Tolna, N.D.) pitched the 

first 6 1/3 innings, but hit 

his pitch limit. “Jeremy 

Kasprowicz (Strandquist), 

who saved a win for us the 

day before, came in with two 

on and one out, but had no 

luck. The first three batters 

he faced singled – our centerfielder 

lost sight of one 

and it fell in front of him, 

and one was a bloop. Just 

tough luck.” 

A close play at the plate 

on a strong throw from right 

field by Joe Iverson 

(Hitterdal) and a tag effort 

by catcher Hunter Aubol 

(East Grand Forks) couldn’t 

keep the Bluejays from tying 

the game.

Prowlers, Pirates S.D. bound 

n Weather moves baseball opener to Huron 

Long-time athletic rivals 

Thief River Falls and 

Crookston will add a new 

twist to their competition 

when they head to South 

Dakota in an effort to jumpstart 

a delayed 2013 high 

school baseball schedule 

with a doubleheader in 

Huron Tuesday. 

Like most teams, the 

Prowlers and Pirates have 

been confined to indoor work 

since opening practice 

March 18 due to a prolonged 

stretch of winter-like weather. 

Thief River Falls had an 

April 5 debut against 

Northern Freeze in Karlstad 

called off, and it was obvious 

that the Prowlers’ April 9 

home opener vs. Roseau 

wasn’t going to happen, 

either. 

Crookston was in the 

same boat, calling off games 

with Red Lake County and 

Badger/Greenbush-Middle 

River due to weather and 

field conditions. 

Saying enough is enough, 

the Prowlers and Pirates 

decided to look for greener 

pastures. Crookston coach 

Ted Hasz presented the idea 

of a combined effort in an 

attempt to get the season 

started, and Thief River 

Falls’ Courtney Skjerven 

was quickly on board. 

“Ted Hasz called and 

asked if we wanted to split a 

bus and go down to Huron to 

play,” explained Skjerven. 

“We needed to do something 

to give the guys something 

to practice for. It doesn’t look 

like we will be playing here 

for a while, and this has 

really kept the kids motivated.” 

Skjerven, in his fourth 

year as the Prowlers’ head 

coach, is looking to build off 

a 14-7 season in 2012 when 

there were just two seniors 

on the roster. “I feel we are 

as deep and experienced as 

we have been in my years as 

a head coach,” he said. “We 

have varsity experience at 

all positions.” 

In contrast to last spring, 

there are nine seniors on 

hand this year, along with 

ten juniors. 

The seniors include Nick 

Hoffard, Grady Pederson, 

Brady Brooks, Jared 

Schaefer, Sam Matter, Evan 

Dondelinger, Holden Nelson, 

Wyatt Wheeler and Chris 

Carillo. The juniors are 

Brody Merrill, John 

Wilebski, Landon Sanders, 

Turner Storm, Aaron Rima, 

Jacob Leier, Wade Simpson, 

Wyatt Nelson, Peter 

Samuelson and Ian Lund. 

Others in the program are 

sophomores Chris Sanders, 

Lucas Sandsmark, Austin 

Audette, McLain Stennes 

and Keaton Huot; plus 

freshmen Kade Nelson, 

Lucas Magnusson, Chase 

Myhrer, Ethan Halvorson, 

Brendan Vigen, Riley 

Bakken, Gabe Peterson, 

Wyatt Ortloff, Carsen Retka, 

Benji Wilebski, Bryce 

Chapin, Josh Rand, Tyrus 

Olson, Devin Westerlund 

and Aaron Berzinski. 

Skjerven likes his team’s 

offensive potential. “I think 

once we get going and get 

use to live pitching, we 

should have a nice hitting 

club,” he noted. “Holden 

(Nelson), Wyatt (Wheeler), 

Landon (Sanders) and 

Turner (Storm) have been 

big parts of our line-up in 

the past. I look for nice years 

out of some of our other seniors, 

and Ian Lund is a big, 

strong kid who has been 

swinging the bat well 

indoors.” 

Experience also produces 

confidence in the field, 

according to Skjerven, who 

said, “We should be solid 

defensively.” 

In Pederson, Schaefer 

and Samuelson, the 

Prowlers have three players 

with experience at first base. 

Storm returns at second; 

Hoffard and Brooks are both 

quality shortstops; Lund is 

penciled in at third, where 

Weight room testing 

is completed at LHS 

Lincoln High School 

weight room testing has 

been completed for the third 

quarter, with names being 

added to the program’s 

honor roll. Jeff Mumm, 

strength training & speed, 

agility & quickness coordinator 

oversees the tests.

and Chris Sanders. 

“I am also excited about 

the strength of our junior 

varsity team,” said 

Skjerven. “In years past, a 

bunch of those guys would 

be pushing for varsity time. 

I feel like we have a nice, 

solid team this spring, and 

hopefully our depth will help 

us out if we need to play a 

bunch of games at the end of 

the season due to the weather.”

Pioneers pick up win 


Minnesota West outfield 

robbed Aubol of a line-drive 

hit that would have put the 

Pioneers back on top in the 

eighth. 

In the bottom of the 

ninth, the winners put their 

first three hitters on base. A 

strike-out was followed by a 

potential home-to-first double 

play ball, but the throw 

to the plate sailed to the 

backstop to end the game. 

It was a tough way to 

lose, and it affected the 

Pioneers’ Game 2 performance, 

admitted Dowers. “We 

really failed to respond after 

blowing the lead in the first 

game,” he said. “We didn’t 

play with the fire that I 

have become accustomed to 

seeing from this group.” 

The loss went to Jarad 

Nelson (Karlstad). “Jarad 

threw well most of the 

game,” noted Dowers. “He 

only walked two, but hit 

four others and that was 

just too many free base runners 

for something bad not 

to happen.” 

“This was a very disappointing 

doubleheader for 

us,” stated Dowers. “These 

are two games we should 

have won. We just didn’t 

play well enough in any 

aspect of the game to win. 

We didn’t play bad...we just 

didn’t play up to our level.”

Municipal Liquor $ 

Troy Larson from Great Lakes Gas is pictured 

with one of the retired utility poles 

that was recently installed. An American 


sale liquor store had a gross 



operating income of a loss of 

$23,214. Its net profit was a 

loss of $19,291. It transferred 

no money to other 

funds. 

• Thief River Falls’ offsale 




operating income of 

$397,560. Its net profit was 

$411,319, and it transferred 

$362,835 to other funds. 

• Warroad’s off-sale liquor 

store had a gross profit of 

$347,580; operating expenses 

of $212,915; and operating 

income of $134,665. It 

had a net profit of $137,332, 


other funds. 

Minnesota municipalities 

were originally authorized 

to own and operate liquor 

establishments as a means 

of controlling the sale of 

alcohol. For many communities 

in Greater Minnesota, 

municipal liquor operations 

provide access and convenience 

in areas that might be 

unable to attract a privatelyrun 

establishment. In addition 

to these functions, profitable 

municipal liquor operations 

have provided another 

source of revenues to supplement 

traditional tax and 

fee revenues. 

Highlights from the 

report include: 

• The combined net profit 

of all municipal liquor 

operations totaled $23.4 million 

in 2011. This represents 

an increase of $1.7 million, 

or 8.0 percent, over the 

amount generated in 2010. 

Among on-sale operations, 

net profits totaled $2.6 million 

in 2011, which was an 

increase of $598,468, or 30.3 

percent, over 2010. Total net 

profits for off-sale operations 

totaled $20.8 million in 

2011, which was an increase 

of $1.1 million, or 5.8 percent, 

over 2010. 

• During 2011, 

Minnesota’s municipal 

liquor stores transferred 

$20.1 million of their profits 

to other city funds. This represents 

an increase of 20.8 

percent over the total net 

transfers made in 2010. 

Transfers totaled $6.5 million 

among metro area 

establishments, compared to 

$13.6 million for Greater 

Minnesota establishments. 

• During 2011, 

Minnesota’s municipal 

liquor operations reported a 

16th consecutive year of 

record sales totaling $317.2 

million. Total sales generated 

in 2011 increased by $3.8 

million, or 1.2 percent, over 

2010. 

• Over the past five years, 

net profits have increased 

4.4 percent. Among off-sale 

stores, there was a 6.5 percent 

increase in net profits, 

while on-sale stores showed 

a decrease of 9.9 percent. 

• Thirty-six Minnesota 

cities reported net losses for 

2011, compared to 40 cities 

in 2010. All 36 cities with 

losses were from Greater 

Minnesota. 

• Minnesota law requires 

cities to hold a public hearing 

on the future of their 

liquor store(s) if the liquor 

operation shows a net loss in 

at least two of the past three 

years. While this report is 

based on 2011 data, an 

examination of losses for the 

years 2009, 2010 and 2011 

shows that 30 cities should 

have held hearings on or 

after Nov. 17, 2011. Of the 30 

cities required to hold a 

hearing in 2011, 22 were on 

the previous year’s list.

Agassiz Audubon recruits bird nest watchers 

Before the snow started to 

melt, PKM Electric 

Cooperative lineworkers 

spent a morning installing 

three “retired” utility poles 

in rural Kittson County. The 

poles will hold nest boxes 

designed specifically to 

attract North America’s 

smallest and flashiest falcons 

– the American kestrel. 

American kestrels, also 

known as sparrow hawks, 

are about the size of a blue 

jay. Kestrels used to be a 

common sight – perched on 

power lines and poles along 

roads adjacent to farm fields 

and grasslands. Scientists 

believe the lack of suitable 

nesting cavities may be a 

limiting factor for these 

birds in Minnesota. 

Last year, PKM installed 

10 poles at the Audubon 

Center near Warren. “We 

had five nestlings fledge 

from one of those boxes, and 

students who participated in 

the WAO summer camp got 

to help Tim Driscoll band 

them. We are grateful for 

PKM’s help again this 

spring,” said Heidi Hughes, 

director of Agassiz 

Audubon’s Community Nest 

Watch Project. 

The Kittson County 

Community Nest Watch 

project started in December, 

when Wes Johnson, the shop 

teacher at Kittson Central 

High School, contacted 

Agassiz Audubon with an 

offer to build bird nest 

boxes. Hughes accepted the 

offer and recruited volunteers 

in Kittson County to 

install and monitor the 

boxes. Donations from the 

Kennedy Crew and the 

Hallock Eagles Club covered 

the cost of the wood. 

Johnson’s ninth grade shop 

class built more than a 

dozen boxes. Then PKM 

donated the poles and 

offered to install them in its 

service area. Ottertail Power 

will be installing eight additional 

poles and boxes soon. 

Agassiz Audubon is looking 

for volunteers to help 

watch the nest boxes in the 

following locations in northwestern 

Minnesota: 

• Kennedy: the ball 

field, the Kennedy water 

tower 

• Hallock: 12th Street 

South, the fairgrounds, 

Kittson Central High School 

• Hampden Township: 

Orleans Grain Elevator

• Clow Township:

• Viking Township:

• Angus: Viking Gas

• Lincoln Township: 

420th Street 

Agassiz Audubon Society 

is recruiting nest box sponsors 

and volunteers. To participate 

– or to learn more 

about these birds – Agassiz 

Audubon will present programs 

in April and May at 

libraries in Hallock, 

Greenbush, Roseau, 

Warroad, Warren, Thief

Badger robotics team competes in Duluth 

by Tanner Creviston and 

Seth Christenson 

On Wednesday, March 6, 

nearly 100 teams took over 

the Duluth Entertainment 

Convention Center to show 

off what six weeks of preparation 

had produced. Teams 

came from all over 

Minnesota and the surrounding 

states. Among the 

teams was the Badger High 

School robotics team, which 

placed 24 out of the 45 teams 

competing. 

The challenge was 

launching and/or dumping 

Frisbees into a variety of 

goals and then climbing a 

steel-pipe pyramid. Each 

match consisted of two 

teams of three who would 

try to out-score their opponents 

to bring their 

“alliance” a victory. Teams 

also had to be aware of illegal 

actions such as hitting a 

robot in the safe zone 

because the opposite team 

would then be awarded foul 

points. 

Friday and Saturday 

qualification rounds determined 

what seed each team 

would be going into 

Saturday afternoon. The top 

eight teams advanced automatically 

to the finals. The 

top eight teams also draft 

two additional teams to be 

on their “alliance.” This 

allows more than just the 

top eight teams to keep competing. 

After the alliances 

are formed they compete 

until the competition is 

down to two alliances. 

The Badger team was 

comprised of 20 students in 

grades 9 through 12, which 

is about 25 percent of the 

high school student body. 

Over the past three years, 

the number of robotics team 

numbers has been rising 

slowly. Because of the constant 

encouragement to try 

new things, the outlook for 

the robotics team is looking 

good. The team goal this 

year was to build a robot 

that could consistently score 

around 20 points per round. 

After a few failed attempts 

to create a robot that would 

successfully shoot the 

Frisbees, we stumbled upon 

what would later become our 

robot. 

One of our team captains, 

Seth Christenson, jokingly 

said, “We should just make a 

dump truck.” 

Little did he know that 

the majority of us took him 

seriously, so we started putting 

together a dump truck. 

We went with the basic twolevel 

rectangular frame; our 

drive system was powered 

by belts with two motors on 

each side. For the first time 

in Gator history, we used 

pneumatics (compressed air) 

to power our gate on the 

dump box to adjust the tilt 

on our dump box and to 

power the lifter, so the robot 

could hook the pyramid. The 

robot was completed with 

the addition of a diamondplate 

truck cab that covered 

our electrical components. 

At the competition, we 

were ready for the practice 

rounds, and the robot was 

performing how we envisioned 

with only a few problems. 

The first problem was 

the hooks were set too high 

to touch the bottom of the 

pyramid because the pyramids 

were shorter than we 

had thought. We solved the 

problem by shortening the 

hooks. The only other serious 

problem we encountered 

was that one of the controllers 

quit working, so we 

had to break out the spare. 

Throughout the competition, 

we performed very consistently, 

placing 24 out of the 

45 teams. 

This was the best placement 

that we have had in 

our three seasons, but it 

wasn’t enough to be picked 

into one of the final 

alliances. Even though our 

team didn’t win or be picked 

to a winning team, we still 

met or exceeded the goals we 

had set for ourselves, which 

is just about as good as a 

win. 

Team morale has been 

high post-season, and plans 

are already being made for 

improvements to the robot. 

All of the excitement created 

could not have been accomplished 

without the support 

of the Badger community 

and sponsors, and the hard 

work by the students. 

Here is the robot designed by the Badger High School 

robotics team. The team recently competed in Duluth.

the library. 

This big project is the 

fourth radiothon fundraiser 

sponsored by the Roseau 

Area Library Friends, an 

active nonprofit group 

organized in 1981. Six years 

have passed since their most 

recent radiothon. 

Friends of the Roseau 

Area Library depend on 

membership dues, donations 

and grants to enable them to 

provide much needed support 

for Roseau Public 

Library. Now in the library's 

75th anniversary year, the 

volunteer group needs to 

replenish its treasury in 

Bedroom 

order to be able to continue 

supplementing the library's 

always tight budget, funded 

by the City of Roseau and 

Roseau County. Expenses 

have risen as library use has 

increased through the years. 

During more than 35,000 

visits in 2012, Roseau Public 

Library users saved themselves 

a lot of "pretty pennies" 

by borrowing almost 

30,000 books/materials and 

using our nine free public 

access computers about 

6,400 times in addition to 

accessing the Internet 

through library wireless connection 

almost a thousand 

times. 

April, I Love My Library 

Month, is a busy time for 

Library Friends. It is their 

membership month. On the 

four Thursdays at noon, the 

annual Lunch at the Library 

travel presentations are 

offered in the Voyageur 

Room. The public is welcome. 

The RAFoL annual 

meeting is on the last 

Monday at 4:15 p.m.
