By Rin Porter At its June 13 regular meet-

ing, the Eagle Valley School

Board learned from high school

principal Barry Johnson that

the district has won a $30,000

grant from Project Lead the Way.

Project Lead the Way is a non-

profit organization that pro-

motes Science, Technology,

Engineering, and Math (STEM)

education. Middle schools and

high schools applied for the

grants through PLTW’s STEM

Implementation Fund (PSIF)

that requires schools to prove

their commitment to preparing

students for jobs of the 21st cen-tury. PLTW partners with lead-

ing U.S. industries, professional

associations, private and family

foundations, and other philan-

thropic organizations to provide

funding to schools through the

PSIF. Minnesota schools will

begin offering PLTW’s STEM

education courses, including

Gateway To Technology and

Pathway To Engineering, in Fall

2011.

Only about 20 schools in

Minnesota were selected for the

STEM curriculum grants for

2011-2012. These schools will

join the 185 Minnesota schoolsalready in the program. Schools

can receive additional funding in

succeeding years if they apply

and are approved. The EV dis-

trict’s grant will come from 3M

and the Kern Foundation.

Mr. Johnson said in a tele-

phone interview that the money

received this year will likely go

to curriculum, special training

for teachers, and special books.

“We haven’t decided definitely

how to spend the money yet.

We’ll likely launch a couple of

classes at the high school this

fall, and after that at the middle

school, if we receive additional

funding. We’ve been told we are

eligible for middle school fund-

ing and we will request that,” he

said. The EV district already has

much of the equipment needed

for the program.

Also during the meeting Gene

Booker gave an update on the

cleaning, remodeling, and class-

room moving activities going on

at the Clarissa building in

preparation for the relocation of

the high school curriculum from

Eagle Bend to Clarissa begin-

ning this fall. He said the cafete-ria had been cleaned and paint-

ed, and work on the offices of the

elementary principal and three

teachers’ classrooms had been

finished. The office of the high

Volunteers can help

protect the futureof Minnesota’s

loon population A statewide study is being con-

ducted by the Minnesota

Department of Natural Resources

(DNR) to help ensure the continued

health of Minnesota’s state bird,

the common loon. Boaters, anglers

and lakeshore owners are being

asked to pick up dead loons for test-

ing to help biologists discover the

major causes of death.

Minnesota’s loon population is

about 12,000 birds, and the num-

bers appear stable, according to

Pam Perry, DNR nongame wildlife

specialist and the loon watcher

coordinator.

“Past studies on the common

loon were limited to looking for

mercury contamination,” said

Perry. “This effort will help answer

questions about why loons die. Is it

trauma, mercury, lead, disease or

effects from the Gulf oil spill?”

If some of these causes are pre-

ventable, the DNR can develop

strategies to reduce loon mortality.

The DNR is asking for help in

collecting recently dead loons with-

out signs of decomposition.

Obviously, rotten loons should not

be collected.

To collect a specimen for testing,

people should use disposable gloves

to put the dead loon in a plastic

bag. Try to avoid barehanded con-

tact when handling dead animals.

If gloves are not available, turn a

plastic shopping bag inside out and

scoop up the specimen with the

bag. Place the specimen in a freez-

er as soon as possible. If a freezer is

not available, place the specimen in

a cooler, surrounded by ice.

It is important to deliver the

specimen as soon as possible to a

local DNR office, because it is oth-

erwise unlawful to possess loons.

All loons need to be labeled with

the date, name of the county, lake

and nearest town where it wasfound, along with name, address

and telephone number of the per-

son who found the loons.

More information about general

guidelines for safe handling of wild

birds is available at

www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/wate

rfowl/avian_flu.html.

Help spark American

Red Cross blood

supply this summerThe Independence Day holiday

will surely ignite many spectacular

fireworks extravaganzas, and the

American Red Cross is also count-

ing on a spark of donors to boost

the blood supply. All blood types are

needed to help maintain a suffi-

cient blood supply for patients in

need. During the holiday week and

throughout the summer donations

tend to dip, but the need for blood is

constant.

While all blood types are needed

during the critical summer months,

Rh negative blood types are always

in high demand because they

potentially can be transfused to

patients with Rh positive or Rh

negative blood types. Type O nega-

tive, the universal blood type, can

potentially be transfused to

patients with any blood type.

To show appreciation to those

who help save lives near the

upcoming Independence Day holi-

day (June 27 – July 6), all present-

ing donors at Red Cross blood

drives and blood donation centers

in the North Central region will

automatically be entered for achance to win a portable Garmin

GPS unit.

How to Donate Blood

Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS

(1-800-733-2767) or visit redcross-

blood.org to make an appointment

or for more information.

A blood donor card or driver’s

license, or two other forms of iden-

tification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age

(16 with parental permission in

some states), weigh at least 110

pounds and are generally in good

health may be eligible to donate

blood. High school students and

other donors 18 years of age andyounger also have to meet certain

height and weight requirements.

Boaters: DNR videoexplains new aquaticinvasive species laws

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has

produced an instructional video

that explains the state’s new

aquatic invasive species laws

and shows boaters what they are

required to do when leaving

Minnesota waters.

“The DNR is ramping up the

battle to stop the spread of zebra

mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil

and other aquatic invasive

species,” said Luke Skinner,

supervisor, DNR invasive species

unit. “The video shows boaters

how to clean and inspect their

boats and explains the new,

stronger regulations.”

The four-minute video fea-

tures underwater footage of zebra mussels, takes viewers

along on a boat inspection at

Lake Minnetonka and provides

tips for doing a thorough clean-

ing that will keep boaters legal.

“It’s about personal responsi-

bility,” Skinner said. “We need

all boaters and anglers to watch

the video and help us in the bat-

tle to slow the spread of aquatic

invasive species.”

The video is available on the

DNR’s website

www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/inva-

sives/index.html.

Ice Fishing? Now?Nothing could be further from most people's

minds right now than temperatures cold enough to

make the lakes hard enough to walk on again. But

for some of us, there is never a better time to be

thinking about where we'll be fishing come

December.

The next time you are out on the lake, take a few

seconds to really look at what is going on around

you. As folks move around the lake in their boats from one place to the

next looking for fish it never looks like much of a hassle to just pull up

the anchor and move to the next spot. You'll see boats out drifting theflats, and people trolling the edge of a weed line or a break. And others

inching their way around a rock pile trying to jig around every little

bump on the bottom. As you're looking at the hundreds if not thousands

of places people are fishing, try and imagine the lake frozen with eight

inches of snow, replace the boats with fish houses in your mind and try

to remember that mental picture in six months. Some of you might be

thinking, "Wouldn't it just be easier to take a photo, or even mark a way-

point in the GPS?"

But that's not my point here at all. My point is, 75% of the people you

see running and gunning around the lake in the summer on the hunt for

fish are many times the same people you hear complaining about peo-

ple fishing too close to their big cozy permanent fish house. They'll tell

you all about "finding" a new secret spot (among 50 other houses) and

talk about how nice the fish were before everyone else moved in on

them. As the piles of slush from the holes get bigger and bigger outside

the door of their shack, they contemplate cranking up that condo and

finding a new spot, just as soon as someone plows a fresh path.So now is the time to really plan ahead for the ice! It starts with that

very first 4-5 inches when some brave soul jumps on a wheeler and

makes that first track. Have you ever noticed how the first path usual-

ly ends up being the main road all winter? Try it if you have some time

this year. As you are out there in your boat, think about that road every-

one drives on each year to and from the ice village. Try and drive that

path with your boat. Look at all the great fishing right along that path.

I know of more than one local lake that puts the traffic right over some

of the best fishing in the lake. People drive back and forth right prime

winter habitat, but who would want to punch a hole there? Hundreds of

cars, trucks, wheelers and snowmobiles would pass your front door

every day. If only the road had turned just a little where it started first

ice it could miss some of those areas and provide more ice fishing vil-

lages to many lakes.

So, are you ready for ice fishing? I know I am! Open water has just

started and I'm already wondering why some people on personal water-

craft figure that I was just begging for them to wake up and come all theway over by me and show me their stunning tricks. Summer fishing just

wouldn't be the same if I couldn't share five acres of water with a PWC

on a 3,000 acre lake. But then again, I smile and think about ice fishing,

because most of time, the only sound around me for a mile or more will

be old man winter and the distant purr of someone else's auger.

Spring is the time we think of

lanting everything from gar-

ens to crops. Outdoorsmen are

eriously involved in planning

nd planting food and cover

lots for wildlife. This year has

eld many challenges for any-

ne trying to plant. It seems we

ave been deluged with rain at

east every other day for forty

ays and forty nights, perhaps

ven longer. If any day has got-en dry enough to even think

bout planting my food plots, I

ave had to mow the lawn or do

ome other mundane but neces-

ary chore. Food plots have been

ut on hold.

People plant different types

f food plots for different rea-

ons. Small backyard areas can

rovide winter cover and a

ource of food for songbirds and

mall mammals such as rabbits

nd squirrels. Many people liv-

ng in town or on small acreages

will often plant a permanent

windbreak and an annual food

source nearby. Supplemented

with bird or squirrel feeders, it

is surprising the number of ani-

mals that will stay around all

winter for viewing enjoyment.

Larger food and cover plots

are planted for quail, pheasants,

and turkeys as well as to help

maintain a deer population on a

property. Each year, my family

and I plant several acres in dif-

ferent places for different

species. Quail in our area are

almost extinct. Twenty years

ago, we were able to see several

coveys of quail per mile. Now,

it’s unusual to see one covey in

ten miles. Most of this is due to

the increase in predators such

as raccoons when the price of fur

went down. Part is also due to

loss of habitat. Quail like brush

or shrubs near an open area.

The cover over them protects

from arial attack and the open

pasture allows them to dart out

for a quick morsel of food and

run back to the cover of the

shrubs. We’ve planted a few

hundred low bushes that pro-

vide cover and produce berries

the quail can eat during the

winter when the ground is snow

covered. We also mow next to

these bushes and along the edge

of the timber so they can feed in

the short grass. So far, we’ve

seen minimal numbers of quail

taking advantage of our help,

but we still keep trying.

At least in our area, deer and

turkey are much easier to

attract and keep happy. Rolling

hills with scattered hardwood

timber combined with open pas-

ture provides natural cover.

Adding a food plot in the mix

makes a happy home that will

keep the local wildlife in our

area and keep them healthy.

We try to plant feed that will

last all winter. Some attempts

have been more successful than

others. An acre of wheat planted

in a clearing in the timber last

year lasted until it started to

head out. As soon as a person

could see the heads forming, a

large group of marauding deer

stopped by and ate the whole

thing in a couple of days. We

reseeded the area with turnips

and had much more success. I’ve

found the best and longest last-

ing food plot will contain a vari-

ety of clovers, beans, peas, and

turnips. A bit of added corn will

help the turkeys during the

times of deep snow if the deer do

not eat it all before it can pro-

duce corn. Several food plots

scattered over a wide area are

probably better than one big

one. Deep snow might concen-

trate animals, so it is safer to

have several places for them to

go.

The only challenge we now

face is having a break in the

weather to get out and get the

work done. My wife has even

said the next time it quits rain-

ing for a day or two, she will

mow the lawn so I can get the

food plots planted.

Dear friends,

Hope all you dads had a great Father’s Day. Sonny spent most of the

afternoon spraying weeds, not a lot of fun, but necessary. Andy, Ruth

and the kids came over in the afternoon with cards the kids had made

for Grandpa. Very special when little ones take the time to make a card.

We had some peach cobbler and ice cream and the little ones had popsi-

cles too. I forgot what a mess those can be on a summer day. Oh well,

nothing that wouldn’t wash was touched and a trip to the sink and a lit-

tle soap and water fixed up the hands, arms and faces.Friday I stopped at Cherry Grove Market to check out all the goodies

at their grand opening. It was really busy when I was there, and there

were lots of food samples to try, as well as picking up some of the tried

and true things I like to keep on hand. We love their homemade soaps;

they make nice gifts too. Of course, Sonny, Mom and I had to have a

hard ice cream cone. I had a small and it was really pretty big. Sonny

had a medium size, which was even bigger. I don’t know how big the

large size is, but I’m sure it would be way more than I could handle. The

store is a nice addition to the area, they have lots of items that are not

available elsewhere, and great little sandwich making deli spot.

The summer has been a little like a rain forest so far. Our lawn has

never had such lush thick grass. It’s hard to keep up with it between

rain and work. We will have to get a grandson over there this week, as

soon as possible, or we will have a hayfield. My flowers are doing well,

and so are the weeds. The mosquitoes are so vicious now, it’s hard to

spend any time outdoors at all, and going out to pull weeds just isn’t

enough incentive for me to get all bit up. I have been spending myevenings (when I get the chance) working on baby quilts. I really enjoy

making them and with new babies continuing to arrive in the family I

have a good excuse for sitting and stitching instead of weeding or dust-

ing. If I ever get ahead on the baby quilt projects maybe I will be able

to put a few up for sale. I so enjoy making them and would like to con-

tinue even when the grandkids stop coming.

Tonight, Monday, we are going to celebrate my oldest granddaugh-

ter’s 20th birthday. I can’t believe I have a grandkid out of her teens!

Where did the time go? I’m sure her parents feel the same way. It cer-

tainly doesn’t seem like it was 20 years ago that she was born. I remem-

ber it so well, and the first baby quilt I made was for her. She loved it

and dragged it all over with her, until it was nothing but a rag. It has

been suggested that I make her another to replace it, but so far there

are enough new babies arriving so I just seem to be able to keep even

with the demand.

Best go finish the paper.

Peggy

A letter from

the country

Letter to the EditorBeing a coward should never happen

To the editor:

This is to the person who ran over my little dog Magnus in front of our home on Conty Raod

16 around 9:30 PM on Sunday, June 19th. I realize that accidents happen and that Magnus was

up on the road where he should not have been. I accept full responsibility for that and I'm not

angry with you about that.

What I am angry about is the fact that you were fully aware that you hit him and yet, you

just kept going and left him to lay on the side of the road to die, screaming in pain and fear. I

know you were aware because I saw you slow down just after you hit him. The human and

responsible thing to do would be to pull over if anything, just to see if you could have given aid

to the poor dog or come to the house and let us know what happened. As it was, we were sitting

right out front by our campfire and heard the whole thing happen.

I'm not going to let you know whether Magnus is alive or dead. That's for our friends to know,

not you.

As I said before, accidents happen. But, being a coward should never happen. Shame on you.Dr. Dean & Amy Grabinger,

Browerville

consultant authorized by the

Board and hired by the Sheriff to

seek federal project appropria-

tion is working with the Sheriff.

to expect committee discussion

at the federal level and requests

for appropriation to show up in

Budget numbers

and figuresI ran for the Minnesota

Senate on the message of mak-

ing government run better, con-

trolling spending and improving

our business climate through

regulatory reform. While we did

accomplish some important

reforms on the path to achiev-

ing these goals, we still have to

finish the important work of

arriving at a budget agreement.

I remain confident that we can

resolve our differences and

avoid a shutdown, but that will

only be accomplished if we move

beyond some of the misinforma-

tion and evaluate the facts of

the current situation.

The previous biennial budget

(Fiscal Years 2010-11) spent $30

billion General Fund dollars.

The two proposals for the

FY2012-13 budget are for $37

billion from Gov. Dayton and

$34 billion from the Republican-

led legislature. The Republican

position represents the approxi-

mate half way point between

General Fund dollars spent last

biennium and what the gover-

nor wants to spend in the next.

The legislature passed the

largest general fund budget in

our state’s history and Gov.

Dayton vetoed it. This $34 bil-

lion budget included $3 billion

in additional revenue, is bal-

anced and keeps government

open and operating. We even

met with the governor recently

to propose a compromise offer

that matched the governor’s

funding levels for K-12 educa-

tion, Public Safety and the

Judiciary, which in total

amounts to approximately 50

percent of state spending.

The governor rejected that

deal, opting instead to continue

his pursuit of higher taxes on

“the rich.” However, the

Minnesota Department of Revenue stated that half of the

45,500 tax filers who would pay

a higher rate under the gover-

nor’s tax plan are small busi-

ness owners. His plan, the

Department stated, would

directly impact over 20,000

small businesses. In the midst

of an economic recession, we

cannot afford to further burden

our businesses and job

providers.

Rather than embrace gov-

ernment growth limited to 6

percent and seeking new ways

of doing business, Gov. Dayton

threatens to shut down govern-ment for 15 percent spending

growth and even higher taxes.

Candidate Dayton said he

wouldn’t shut down the govern-

ment to force a tax increase. I

remain hopeful that Governor

Dayton will keep his promise.

Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen (R-

Alexandria)

Close CallWHY DRIVING RESPONSIBLY

S A TWO-WAY STREET FOR

EENS AND PARENTS

By Stephen Gray Wallace, M.S.

d.

As high school students pour out

f the classroom and into their cars,

’s a good reminder that the sum-

mer season almost always proves

o be the most dangerous for teen

riving.

And the news is not getting any

etter.

A new study by SADD (Studentsgainst Destructive Decisions) and

iberty Mutual Insurance gives

arents reason to pause before

anding over the keys to their

ewly released young driver,

evealing an alarmingly high num-

er of teens who have had “near

misses” while behind the wheel. It

lso delivers some insight into

what may be chief contributors to

hose events – even if they differ

rom what most young people

hink.

According to the study, 68 per-

cent of teens admit to having nar-

rowly avoided a crash. Yet, perhaps

not surprisingly, teens are more

likely to blame external factorsthan to point the finger at them-

selves – even when they are at

fault.

Indeed, one in three drivers (34

percent) who say they have had a

“near miss” blame another driver,

while 21 percent say weather was

the primary cause. Yet when

asked what they were doing in the

car at the time of the incident,

teens admitted to an array of dis-

tracting or dangerous behaviors: 30

percent were speeding, 21 percent

were texting, 20 percent were talk-

ing to their passengers, and 17 per-

cent were changing songs on their

MP3 player.Ironically, only 9 percent of teens

believed excessive speed was the

primary contributor to a close call,

while 13 percent said texting while

driving was to blame. Another 6

percent passed along responsibility

to friends who distracted them.

CLOSE CALL KIDS

It’s no surprise that our ‘close call

kids’ are likely to report they regu-

larly engage in dangerous or dis-

tracted driving behaviors:

• 36 percent say they regularly

talk on the cell phone while driv-

ing; and

• 33 percent say they regularly

text behind the wheel.Those numbers are significantly

lower for the 32 percent of teen

drivers who report never having

had a close call.

REALITY GAP

Despite these disturbing statis-

tics, 92 percent of teens consider

themselves to be safe, cautious

drivers.

And few seem to sense the dan-

gers lurking on the roadway once

school’s out for summer – despite

the fact that young drivers are

behind the wheel 44 percent more

hours each week in the summer

than during the rest of the year or

that summer is the most popular

time of year for kids to be drivingunder the influence of alcohol or

other drugs. According to the

Insurance Institute for Highway

Safety, June, July, and August are

the deadliest months for teen

motor vehicle fatalities when

almost 1,000 teenagers die (994 in

2009).

SHORT SHELF LIFE

Close calls cause the majority of

teens to change their driving

behaviors, but only for a while. In

fact, nearly half of them say their

renewed commitment to more

responsible driving lasted only a

month or less. And what improve-

ments in driving habits teens doreport are more likely to involve

paying better attention to other

drivers than to texting or speeding

less.

Apparently, it takes a tough les-

son - actually getting in a crash –

for teen drivers to significantly

change their driving behaviors.

Nearly 70 percent of teen drivers

who have been in a collision say the

experience changed their driving

habits, with the majority of them

(58 percent) saying those improve-

ments are “forever.”

There’s got to be a better way.

A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

Keeping young drivers safebehind the wheel has never been

timelier, and some new help is on

the way. The Parent/Teen Driving

Contract developed by Liberty

Mutual and SADD which can be

found at

www.libertymutual.com/teendriv-

ing is both a conversation starter

about safety and a customized

agreement that promotes dialogue

and saves lives. In short, it helps

families create and sustain impor-

tant driving rules for both sides –

because responsibility is, indeed, a

two-way street.

Eagle Valley, continued

ow. Her grandparents, Andrew and Nathalie Thorud, were born in

orway and immigrated to America in 1886. They homesteaded

heir farm shortly after their arrival.

Clinton and LouClare raised six children – two boys and four girls.

heir oldest daughter, Carol Anne, passed away in 2001. Their son

arry and daughters Bonnie, Bev, and Betty, live near their parents.

heir son Kenny lives near the Twin Cities.

The family milked Holsteins for many years. LouClare had a big

arden and canned tomatoes and other produce. She raised straw-

erries and had a U-pick business for a few years. Her main hobby is

uilting.

Clinton and LouClare sold their dairy herd in 1988, and began

pending the winters in Texas. After a while, LouClare started an

ntique business in their barn. She ran the business for about fourears before closing it.

“It was interesting,” LouClare said. “You met a lot of people. We

aveled around the South and bought stuff and resold it up here.”

“All my life I worked very hard,” she said. “I was a jack of all

ades and master of none.”

Their daughter Bonnie Benning said her parents are proud of the

act that they don’t take any medications except for blood pressure

ills. “They use natural remedies,” she explained.

LouClare is 90 and Clinton is 94. They don’t hear well, and each

ne walks with a cane, but they live in their own home and enjoy

pending time with family.

chool principal was almost done, Early Childhood and Family

ducation room walls and lights were done, the old studio being con-erted to educational use had the cabinetry demolished and removed

nd new carpet approved for installation, the lobby was done, and

wo loads of junk had been hauled away for recycling. The south

lassrooms will be done soon. Preparations are underway for the All

chool Reunion and Open House being held July 14-16. After that

vent, packing of the rest of the Eagle Bend and Clarissa classrooms

will take place and the move will be done in stages so everything is

eady when school begins.

The board learned from board member Chris Notch that 1,253 gal-

ons of fuel oil had been donated to the school by the Alexandria

chool district, due to the efforts of board member Adam Riedel. The

onation has a value of about $4,600. The Alexandria district is

hanging from fuel oil to propane to heat one of their buildings.

The school board voted to approve 23 school-funded activities and

hree community-funded activities for the 2011-2012 school year,

ncluding basketball, football, volleyball, wrestling, softball, base-

all, track and field, one-act and full-act plays, cheerleading, speech,ep band, music contests, knowledge bowl, and yearbook.

The school board accepted the resignations of Bev Guse and Jan

horson with gratitude for their years of service.

The board voted to lay off four employees at the recommendation

f the personnel committee, due to decreases in food service pro-

ramming and paraprofessional support needs because of the con-

olidation of the two school buildings into one. Employees to be laid

ff were Stacie Warren, Heidi Berg, Cheryl Hagen, and Melissa

olovick. Two school board members opposed the school board policy

he personnel committee followed in recommending these layoffs,

nd asked that the policy be reconsidered in the fall.

The next meeting of the EV School Board will be held at 6:30 PM

une 27 at the Eagle Bend building.

Kelsey Ross repeats as girls’ golf champOsakis senior Kelsey Ross, the granddaughter of Richard and Mary Jane Kahlert, of Browerville,

closed out her high school career with her second straight State Class A girls' golf championship, finish-

ing with a two-day total of 160, just one stroke ahead of Steph Aanenson of Mounds Park Academy.

Despite three double-bogeys and a triple-bogey in her final round, Osakis senior Kelsey Ross repeat-

ed as the Class A girls’ golf champion. Ross shot a two-round 160 (76-84), which was enough to fend off

Mounds Park senior Steph Aanenson, who finished at 161 (82-79).

“I’m glad it’s over, because I started shooting really bad towards the end,” said Ross, whose tears of frustration on the final green turned to tears of joy when her mother informed her that she had won. “My

aim was a little off, my timing was a little off, but it was enough to get it done.”

This was Kelsey’s third trip to the state competition. In her sophomore year she claimed the second

place spot, and now has grabbed the first place title two years in a row.

On her way to the 2011 state tournament, Kelsey claimed medalist honors in the Section 5A-North

girls’ golf tourney and in other golfing meets on her way to becoming the State Champion for the second

year.

The Osakis girls finished fourth overall with a team total 736. Lewiston-Altura earned the team title

with a 671.
