Sanford opening in TRF planned
The new Sanford Thief
River Falls Medical Center
opens its doors to the region
for clinical services on Sept.
29, 2014 and on the hospital
side Oct. 1, 2014. In making
the announcement, officials
said the project remains on
schedule and within budget.
Located at 3001 Sanford
Parkway (Highway 32
South), the $60 million facil-
ity sits on 240 acres. The
136,000-square-foot hospital
and clinic is equipped with
52 clinical exam rooms, 25
private inpatient suites in-
cluding labor, delivery and
post partum suites, emer-
gency room, surgery center,
full-service pharmacy, reha-
bilitation, infusion services,
radiology and laboratory.
The new medical center
was built with the commu-
nity and people of northwest-
ern Minnesota in mind.
Special attention was paid to
the design and construction.
Featuring a classic collegiate
gothic architectural style, the
building will be similar to
other new Sanford facilities.
The interior design por-
trays the local landscaping of
Thief River Falls that will re-
flect the beautiful rivers,
fields and forests that sur-
round the area, said Rob
Lovejoy, chief operating offi-
cer. The facility was de-
signed completely with
patients in mind to provide
the best experience possible.
Sanford Thief River Falls
will also remodel the current
clinic on Highway 59 to pro-
vide audiology, dermatology,
eye center and optical care,
health information manage-
ment, physical medicine,
sleep clinic, wellness center,
business and support serv-
ices.
The current downtown
campus will provide dialysis,
community-based services
for behavioral health, educa-
tion/conference space, inpa-
tient and outpatient
behavioral health, work ther-
apy program, nephrology,
neuropsychology and sleep
medicine services.
Sanford Thief River Falls
includes more than 55 clini-
cians and employs more than
540 staff members. A public
open house date will be an-
nounced later this summer.
The new Sanford Thief River Falls Medical Center, which is located south of Thief River Falls on Highway 32, opens its
doors to the region for clinical services on Sept. 29, and to the hospital on Oct. 1.

County tabacco ordinance takes shape
by Scott DCamp
Reporter

The Pennington County
Board is continuing to make
progress on an updated to-
bacco ordinance. During
their meeting on Tuesday,
July 8, commissioners met
with Helen Anderson, to-
bacco free coordinator with
Quin Community Health,
and Anita Cardinal of Inter-
County Nursing to discuss a
draft version of the amended
Pennington County Tobacco
Ordinance.
Many of the changes to
the ordinance are mandated
by the state of Minnesota
and dont require much dis-
cussion. Other suggested
changes, were first intro-
duced to the County Board
during the June 24 meeting.
Information on both state-
mandated and suggested
changes can be found in the
July 2 edition of The Times.
After two weeks to review
the proposed ordinance,
County Attorney Alan Ro-
galla came to the July 8
meeting with questions and
recommendations.
Jurisdiction has been one
of the ordinances primary
discussion points during each
of the last two meetings.
During Tuesdays it was clar-
ified that any Pennington
County municipality that
does not have an ordinance,
such as the city of Goodridge,
will be covered by the county
ordinance.
Likewise, a municipality
with a tobacco ordinance in
place, such as Thief River
Falls, will be regulated by
the municipal tobacco ordi-
nance rather than the county
ordinance. During Tuesdays
meeting it was unclear if the
city of St. Hilaire had its own
tobacco ordinance.
The proposed ordinance
includeds a training require-
ment for license holders and
Rogalla questioned how it
would be enforced. After dis-
cussion, it was determined
that training would be en-
forced by requiring license
holders to complete training
before obtaining or renewing
a tobacco license.
Rogalla recommended
that all of the section that
governs self-service sales, be
stricken from the ordinance
because all five subdivisions
(illegal sales, illegal posses-
sion, illegal use, illegal pro-
curement and use of false
identification) are already
enforced by state statute.
Under penalties, Rogalla
clarified that the fine
amounts listed in subdivision
one (licensees) are set by
state statute. Under subdivi-
sion two (other individuals),
he suggested a change from
shall be charged to may be
charged. Rogalla suggested
the change to give the county
board flexibility with regard
to pursuing legal action.
Dust will fly
with Thunder
on Hooves
by David Hill
Editor
Thunder on Hooves, the
Professional Bull Riders
Touring Pro Division, will re-
turn for its 19th year of bull
riding in Thief River Falls
July 18 and 19. Once again,
the top up-and-coming riders
will be competing in Thief
River Falls.
Chase Outlaw of Ham-
burg, Ark, thrilled crowds
last year. He rode 10 times
and was only thrown four
times. Outlaw, who won last
years Thunder on Hooves,
has again registered to par-
ticipate in Thunder on
Hooves, but if he plans to win
this year, hell have to get
better scores than the other
top riders from throughout
the world who will be partic-
ipating in the event. Hell
also have to hang on for eight
seconds or longer - and that
wont be easy.
The stock contractor for
Thunder on Hooves is once
again Chad Berger of Berger
Bucking Bulls, which pro-
vides several of the PBRs
top-ranked bulls.
Protecting the cowboys
this year is Barrellman Don-
nie Landis. Landis is a pro-
fessional athlete who helps
protect the cowboys, but he
has a great sense of humor
who keeps the audience en-
gaged and entertained. Lan-
dis is a fourth-generation
rodeo-cowboy.
Joining Landis in the cen-
ter of the ring will be bull-
fighting team of James
Zimmerman, Nevada Miller
and Lyndel Runyon. The
bullfighters have the very
important job of keeping bull
riders safe. When the 8 sec-
onds end, the bulls dont just
go back to their corner, theyll
fight for much longer. The
bullfighting team steps in,
time after time, and attempt
to keep the bull riders safe by
distracting the bulls, and or
helping in any way they can
to get the bull rider away
from thousands of pounds of
hoofed fury. It takes tremen-
dous athleticism, skill, fear-
lessness and the stamina to
do it time after time after
time. And it really makes for
an exciting event for specta-
tors. But if they get noticed,
its only because theyve done
a good job.
Keeping track of whats
going on in the arena this
year will be Announcer Clint
Atkins.
The show begins at 7 p.m.

Robert Harlings first play
was met with immediate crit-
ical and popular acceptance
in its premier production by
New York's WPA Theatre in
1987. Concerned with a
group of gossipy southern
ladies in a small-town beauty
parlor in northwest
Louisiana, the play is alter-
nately hilarious and touching
- and, in the end, deeply re-
vealing of the strength and
purposefulness which under-
lies the antic banter of its
characters.

No excuse for speeding:
Extra patrols out now
I didnt know I was
speeding. There must be
something wrong with my
speedometer. Im not from
around here. Law enforce-
ment officers have heard all
kinds of excuses from speed-
ers, and theyll probably
hear many more now
through July 27. Nearly 400
Minnesota law enforcement
agencies are increasing
patrols to combat traffic
crashes, deaths and serious
injuries caused by illegal
and unsafe speeding.
Speed is a leading con-
tributing factor in fatal and
serious injury crashes,
according to the Minnesota
Department of Public
Safety/Office of Traffic
Safety. In the last three
years (2011-13), illegal and
unsafe speed was attributed
to 212 fatal crashes, 235
deaths and 666 serious
injuries. In many crashes,
additional factors, such as
alcohol and distraction,
often combine with speeding
to wreck cars and lives.
Far too many motorists
ignore speed limits and put
all of our lives at risk on the
road by speeding, said
Donna Berger, OTS director.
Theres greater potential to
lose control, you have less
time to avoid a crash, and
the chances are higher of
being killed or seriously
injured.
Data shows that speeding
doesnt save much time.
Traveling at 55 mph versus
45 mph for a 10-mile journey
only shaves off about two
and one-half minutes of
travel time.
Minnesota recognizes
Saturday, July 12 as
Statewide Speed
Enforcement Day, and driv-
ers will notice increased
attention from law enforce-
ment as all agencies across
the state will be specifically
targeting speeding viola-
tions.
An enhanced enforcement
for speed campaign also was
conducted June 16-20
because data shows the
summer months are the
deadliest on the states
roads.
Costs of speeding viola-
tions vary by county but typ-
ically ramp up to $125 for
traveling 10 mph over the
limit in this area. Motorists
stopped at 20 mph over the
speed limit face double the
fine, and those ticketed at
more than 100 mph can lose
their license for six months.
LHS Class of
1948 to hold
reunion
The Lincoln High School
Class of 1948 will meet for
lunch Saturday, July 19 at
12 p.m. at the American
Legion Club in Thief River
Falls. All class members and
their significant others are
encouraged to attend for
catch-up time.

Red Lake man sentenced for felony DWI
A Red Lake man was sen-
tenced Monday, July 7 in
Pennington County District
Court for a felony offense of
driving while impaired. It
was his eighth alcohol-relat-
ed driving offense since
1981.
Robert Louis Kingbird,
65, pled
guilty to
the charge.
As part of
the plea
agreement,
a n o t h e r
f e l o n y
charge of
DWI, a
gross mis-
demeanor charge of driving
after cancellation inimical
to public safety and a misde-
meanor charge of open bottle
were dismissed.
For the former offense,
Kingbird was sentenced to
48 months in prison stayed
for seven years. He was
ordered to serve supervised
probation for seven years.
Kingbird was ordered to fol-
low the recommendations of
his chemical dependency
evaluation, including that
he must continue to reside at
the Red Lake nursing home.
Kingbird was ordered to
take his medications in their
prescribed dosage and fre-
quency. He was ordered to
supply a DNA sample.
Kingbird was also ordered to
pay $240 in fees and fines.
The charge stemmed from
a July 4, 2010, traffic stop,
according to the complaint.
At the time, a Minnesota
State Patrol sergeant
clocked Kingbirds vehicle
traveling 62 mph in a 55-
mph zone on Pennington
County Road 3. He also
noticed that Kingbird wasnt
wearing a seat belt and
Kingbirds vehicle had a
cracked windshield. The
vehicle was stopped five
miles east of Highway 59 at
about 8 a.m. The sergeant
also saw a female passenger
in the vehicle.
Kingbird told the ser-
geant that he had left his
drivers license at home and
produced a Red Lake identi-
fication card. While speak-
ing with Kingbird, the ser-
geant smelled an odor of
alcohol and saw that he had
bloodshot eyes. An open
Miller High Life can was
lying on its side on the front
seat between the two vehicle
occupants. When Kingbird
started to hand the can to
the sergeant, the contents
spilled onto the seat.
When asked, Kingbird
said he had been drinking
pop. Later, he said he drank
alcohol about three hours
earlier. A plastic two-liter
bottle of Fanta, which was
one-third full, was lying on
the floor between the two
occupants. The sergeant
noticed that it appeared to
contain orange juice, not
pop. Kingbird wanted to
drink the liquid, but the ser-
geant wouldnt allow him.
Kingbird claimed there was
no alcohol in the bottle. The
sergeant smelled the bottle,
which smelled like alcohol.
Kingbird then admitted that
the bottle contained vodka.
Since Kingbird uses a
walker, the sergeant admin-
istered a preliminary breath
test. Even though Kingbird
hardly exhaled, the PBT had
a result of 0.17. He also
failed another test. Twenty-
five minutes later, another
PBT had a result of 0.135.
Six minutes after that test, a
third PBT had a result of
0.143. A blood sample later
provided a result of 0.13.
The complaint indicated
that Kingbird hasnt had a
valid drivers license since
January 1990. He was con-
victed of a previous felony
DWI in May 2005.
Numerous misdemeanors are
included in the latest edition of the

In Loving Memory
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon
this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
Gods garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was
getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids
and whispered Peace be thine.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didnt go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
We Miss You

Work has begun on the dam in Thief River
Falls. The city began slowly draining down
one foot of the Red Lake River on Friday,
July 11 in order to complete repairs.
Repairs are being made to deteriorating
concrete on the ends of piers 5 and 6. The
thawing and freezing cycle led to their dete-
rioration. The walkway of the dam will be
closed to foot traffic until July 25. The work
is expected to be completed in seven to 10
days.

ACTIVITIES
Paper Bag Caterpillar
Give paper lunch bags to
your child to fill about
three-quarters full with
pieces of crumpled newspa-
per. Staple each bag closed
about three inches from the
top. Have your child paint
the sides and bottoms of
his/her bags green. Allow
the bags to dry. Then lay
them down in a line with
the flat top part of one bag
under the stuffed bottom
part of another bag, and
tape all the bags together to
form a caterpillar. Let
your child glue eyes and
antennae cut from black
construction paper onto the
caterpillars head to com-
plete this project.

PARENTING TIPS
Playing with Children
Play is the way children
learn. Toys are the tools
that they use. Adults who
want to help a child to play
need to be careful about
providing just the right
amount of adult involve-
ment. Both too much or too
little adult involvement can
hinder a childs play. Here
are four simple rules for
adults to remember.
Watch children play
without interrupting.
Observe their interests and
level of skills. How do they
use the toys? Which play-
things are favorites?
Join in and play at the
childs level. Let the child
lead. If you try to introduce
complicated ideas too quick-
ly, it may confuse the child
and disappoint you. If the
child loses interest after
you join the play, you are
probably above or below the
childs level.
After playing for a
while at the childs pace,
introduce a slightly more
difficult stage of play. Be
careful not to rush this
step.
Then back away and
watch again to see if and
how the youngster explores
this new activity.

SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT
Ask children to tell you
about what they are doing.
Ask questions to which you
do not know the answers.

TIMES FOR TODDLERS
The meaning of Sonder and proof
Sonder: "The realization
that each random passerby
is living a life as vivid and
complex as your own."
Defined by John Koenig, this
word was coined but as of
yet, not found in the Webster
or Oxford dictionaries. So
does it exist as a word if it is
not in our official vocabulary
guide?
According to the video
clip, the meaning of it does
exist. Koenig was able to cre-
ate proof of this through a
short video depicting each of
us as center points while
others peripherally touch
our lives. Then, beyond our
peripheral vision, there are
those in the far distant and
it is their stories we know
nothing of ... yet our lives
touch like extras in a film.
These people pass us on
sidewalks, highways, and
byways. Next, in the video
clip, we see the roles flipped
... while those in the back-
ground become center of
their own stage and we
become the "extras" in their
lives. Mix this together and
you have "sonder."
All of this exists whether
it's officially validated via
Webster or not because we
see it played out each and
every day. Now this moves
me to the next set of ques-
tions that go with the theme
of this column. Theology in
the Trenches asks: Would
Jesus be who he claims to be
even if every other person in
the world would claim other-
wise? If all the others in our
circle of friends and family
would claim he isn't God,
would he still be God? What
about the Bible? Is it truly
the word of God even if oth-
ers say it is not?
The answers to these
questions are either yes or
no. There is no in between. If
a person can make a video
clip proving that a newly
coined word exists, then we
need not fear looking into
the historically preserved
documents that testify to the
truth that Jesus indeed is
who he claims he is. After
all, the truth remains in his
word, which is the same yes-
terday, today, and forever. In
the gospel of John, it says,
"In the beginning was the
word, and the word was with
God, and the word was God."
Is this truth not a truth if
others around us say it is
not? The explanation of this
was anticipated because
John 1:10 tells us to expect
this. It says, "He was in the
world, and the world was
made through him, yet the
world did not know him. He
came to his own, and his own
people did not receive him."
When the herd mentality,
the politically correct
response, or the popular vote
says we blend in with those
around us because we don't
want to "offend" others ...
then we must ask yet anoth-
er difficult question. Why
would truth offend? In my
limited wisdom, I can only
conclude that truth offends
when we believe there is no
truth. It offends when we
are ignorant of it, and it
offends when we want our
own ways over his. It offends
when we reject, it offends
when we sin, and it offends
when there is pride involved
putting ourselves on that
throne instead of him. Oh,
it's much more complex than
this because I know truth
can offend when one finger
points the message of truth
with an arrogance that is not
of love. But, for a moment,
check out John 1:16.
"For from his fullness we
have all received, grace upon
grace. For the law was given
through Moses; grace and
truth came through Jesus
Christ."
The prophets of old have
spoken, the documents his-
torically have been pre-
served, Jesus did die on the
cross, Jesus did rise, and
when he did, he did so that
all may live. If you believe,
read his word. If you do not
believe, read his word. It is
not only life changing, but
life giving. Amen.

THEOLOGY IN
THE TRENCHES
Speaking of a bug in his ear
Did you ever get a bug in
your ear? It is not funny! It
is a horrible feeling. I had
one once. Luckily it wasnt in
there long and it flew out
quickly by itself. I dont
know what I would have
done if it hadnt flown out by
itself. Of course, it would be
really bad if it were a biting
bug, like a bee or a mosquito,
and I certainly hope they are
too big to get into ears, but I
dont know that for sure. You
know they say that ears
keep growing as a person
ages. I dont trust what any-
body says when it comes to
bugs in the ears.
One of my sons (I think it
was the middle one he
always seemed to get weird
things happening to him) got
a bug in his ear. And dog-
gone, if that bug didnt think
it was going to make a home
in that ear! It buzzed around
and wiggled, and I dont
think it was even trying to
get out. I think it was trying
to get in deeper and maybe
make his home in there.
Have you ever tried to aim a
flashlight at the ear opening
of a squirming, crying child?
It is nigh onto impossible.
Lucky thing this hap-
pened during the day when
the clinic was open. I had to
take him in. Oof, did he ever
get fast attention! The girl at
the desk asked what the
problem was. I said, My son
has a bug in his ear. A bug
in his ear? she repeated,
with a vague look in her
eyes. Yes, I said, You can
hear it buzzing. He has a
bug in his ear and it is still
alive! Her eyes widened and
she quickly got on the tele-
phone. Never mind all that
insurance information a per-
son usually has to provide at
the front desk. It didnt seem
to be necessary this time.
Next thing we knew, he
was in the doctors office. He
was whisked into the docs
room almost as fast as when
we thought he had put some
poison stuff in his mouth
(yes, it was the same kid and
it was lucky he didnt get
any of that poison stuff in
his mouth.) But he sure got
whisked in fast enough this
time, too, along with the
tears, runny nose and all!
And the doctor dropped
what he was doing and came
running in at just about the
same time.
The doc peered into the
ear. Then he hemmed and
hawed and left the room. He
came back into the room
with another doctor and
they both hemmed and
hawed together, muttering
to one another. One of them
asked the other, Do we have
some little tweezers? The
other doctor called in the
nurse. Do we have any
tweezers that would fit in
his ear, he asked her.
Between the three of
them, they found some
tweezers that were tiny
enough to fit in my sons ear.
He took one look at the
tweezers and started to
holler again. I couldnt say I
blamed him they looked
might scary, like skinny lit-
tle needles! The doctors each
took a good look in the ear,
looked at one another, nod-
ded their heads, and pro-
nounced the bug dead. Then
they took blood pressure,
temperature and pulse from
my son and left the room.
Just as they got out of the
room, the bug fluttered in
the ear again and my son
began to scream again.
The nurse ran to catch
the doctors and one of them
came back with a squirter (it
looked like a gigantic needle
for giving shots), which he
proceeded to put into my
sons ear, which caused my
son to scream even louder,
no doubt thinking he was
going to have a shot with the
biggest needle he had ever
seen! By now, the first doctor
had disappeared and the
nurse had called in another
nurse to help her and both of
them were wringing their
hands because my son would
not let them touch him and
he would not let go of me.
The bug fluttered even loud-
er. I could hear, it too.
After trying to peer into
my sons ear, the second doc-
tor went out to go find the
first doctor. Both doctors
came back with an instru-
ment that looked like a
turkey baster. They filled
the baster with warm water
and finally managed to flush
that bug right out of the ear.
Yup, it didnt look too hard
for them at all.
As I left the examining
room with my catching his
breath sobbing child, the
doctor said, You maybe
should keep an eye on that
kid. I agreed and did do just
that from that time forward.
Now he lives in Spokane, so
I cant keep too much of an
eye on him, but he works as
a juvenile officer for
Spokane County and is more
than likely very good at it
because he knows all about
the things kids can get into.

Its fair time in Thief River Falls
Its July, and that means
the Pennington County Fair
is here! On Saturday, July
19, from 12 to 4 p.m., while
youre at the fair, enjoying
the rides, exhibits, and fair
food, be sure to stop by the
Library table for a visit and
a chance to make a sun-
catcher! Its a good craft for
young and old. The table will
be set up on the south side of
the Huck Olson Memorial
Civic Center.
One hundred years ago
the fair was also the main
topic of conversation - aside
from the anticipation for the
new library, of course - for
the summer. The main event
awaited for the 1914
Pennington County Fair was
the appearance by daredevil
pilot Lincoln Beachy who
would perform daring feats
of flight, such as loop-the-
loops and upside-down fly-
ing. Considering that the
Wright brothers made the
first flight only 11 years
prior, Beachys appearance
at the fair was a big event!
As part of the Summer
Program, the library is offer-
ing Wednesday afternoon
activities for children ages 7-
12. This Wednesdays 2 p.m.
craft is clothespin animals.
Stop by and have fun creat-
ing these cute items. Theres
free popcorn to go with the
fun.
Anyone having an e-read-
er or thinking of purchasing
an e-reader, may want to
come to the e-reader class on
July 22, at 7 p.m., at the
library. Best Buy will be con-
ducting the class to help
owners best utilize their
readers. There will also be
several devices for those
future owners who need to
check out which reader will
best meet their needs. There
is no need for preregistra-
tion.
The library needs to veri-
fy the schedule for its meet-
ing room. If you have sched-
uled the room for any time in
the rest of 2014, please call
the library to verify that
date.
The Library book selec-
tion is Anything Goes: A
History of American Musical
Theatre by Ethan Mordden.

Q: I retired effective
January 2014, so my Social
Security payment only
reflects earnings through
2012. When will my retire-
ment include 2013 wages?
A: Wage and self-employ-
ment earnings for 2013 will
be automatically reviewed
for possible increase to your
retirement benefits when
posted to your work record,
approximately October
2014. You do not need to do
anything for this to happen.
Employers pay estimated
taxes to IRS during the year
but details of how much
individual employees earned
are only sent to Social
Security with annual W-2s.
Employers can report W-2
information electronically
with free SSA Business
Services Online at
www.socialsecurity.gov/third
p a r t y / b u s i n e s s . h t ml .
Incentives encourage elec-
tronic W-2 reporting but
many still are received by
paper, requiring additional
handling and processing
time.
W-2 processing for a year
is usually completed during
the fall of the following year.
Social Security receives
more that 250 million wage
reports annually. If you
worked for more than one
employer during the year,
total earnings will not be
posted until all your employ-
ers are processed.
Your 2013 earnings will
automatically be reviewed
for possible increase to your
retirement benefits when
posted to your work record.
If they increase benefits, the
increase is retroactive to
January 2014. This auto-
matic review does not mean
that benefit amounts will
increase a significant
amount or even at all.
Retirement benefits are
based on your best 35 years
of employment. New earn-
ings would have to replace
earnings already used to
increase your amount.
This review is done auto-
matically every year that
new earnings are posted to
your work record. You do not
need to take any action for
this to happen.
Whether or not receiving
monthly benefits, you can
check your personal Social
Security earnings record by
creating your my Social
Security account at
www.socialsecurity.gov/mya
ccount/ and looking at your
SSA Statement. Earnings
on the Statement are updat-
ed as described above, with
earnings for a year posted
during the fall of the next.

In the excitement of the preparations for her wedding day, Shelby has a diabetic attack.
Truvy, Clairee and MLynn coax her into eating and drinking while Annelle nervously looks
on, wondering what she can do. Steel Magnolias opens on the Northland Community and
Technical College Theater stage in Thief River Falls on Monday, July 21, and runs through
Thursday, July 24. (Submitted)
Steel Magnolias/Continued
(Continued from Page 1)
northwest Louisiana. The
story is based on Harlings
experience with his sister's
death.
The title suggests the
"female characters are as
delicate as magnolias but as
tough as steel." The magno-
lia specifically references a
magnolia tree they are argu-
ing about in Act I, Scene 1.
The action is set in Truvy's
beauty salon in Chinquapin,
La., where all the ladies who
are "anybody" come to have
their hair done. Helped by
her eager new assistant,
Annelle (who is not sure
whether or not she is still
married), the outspoken,
wise-cracking Truvy dis-
penses shampoos and free
advice to the town's rich cur-
mudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not
crazy, I've just been in a bad
mood for 40 years"); an
eccentric millionaire, Miss
Clairee, who has a raging
sweet tooth; and the local
social leader, M'Lynn, whose
daughter, Shelby (the pretti-
est girl in town), is about to
marry a "good ole boy."
Filled with hilarious
repartee and not a few acer-
bic but humorously reveal-
ing verbal collisions, the
play moves toward tragedy
when, in the second act, the
spunky Shelby (who is a dia-
betic) risks pregnancy and
forfeits her life. The sudden
realization of their mortality
affects the others, but also
draws on the underlying
strength - and love - which
give the play, and its charac-
ters, the special quality to
make them truly touching,
funny and marvelously ami-
able company in good times
and bad.
Six local women team up
to form an incredible cast,
directed by Barb Geer. Kari
Conner (Truvy) grew up in
Newfolden and moved all
the way to the big city of
Thief River Falls, where she
has lived for the past 25
years. She is currently an
account clerk at Northland
Community and Technical
College. Karis family
includes her husband Jeff,
daughter Emily, stepson
Brenden, son Scott, grand-
son Xander, and a whole
bunch of Lokstad Clan!
Michele Christensen
(Annelle) is from Thief River
Falls and works at Arctic
Cat in Decaling.
Brianna Helm (Clairee)
grew up in Middle River, and
now lives near the big town
of Holt with her husband,
Jesse, and three children,

Tobacco ordinance/Continued
Rogallas final suggestion
to the County Board was
that a public hearing is nec-
essary to change the existing
ordinance. He said the
County Board is making
substantial changes to the
ordinance, which means
there should be a time for
public comment and a public
hearing before the commis-
sioners make a decision.
The plan going forward is
to revise the draft version
for further review at the
July 22 County Board meet-
ing. A date for the public
hearing is expected to be set
during that meeting.
County DHS to fill
vacancy, add new care
worker position
Commissioners author-
ized the Pennington County
Department of Human
Services to advertise and fill
a vacant mental health posi-
tion; post and create a new
special needs basic care
worker position; and post
internally for a new lead
social worker position and
intake worker position.
The basic care worker
position is dedicated to
working with adults ages 18
to 64 with disability. It has
the potential to be a revenue
producing position through
reimbursements from the
state of Minnesota.
Commissioner Darryl
Tveitbakk said the person-
nel committee previously
discussed the need to hire a
full-time intake worker and
the need for a lead social
worker has been discussed
at Human Service
Committee meetings. The
countys social workers are
sharing intake responsibili-
ties, which reduces efficien-
cies within the social servic-
es.
At this point, the County
Board has only authorized
Human Services to add one
new position. All other posi-
tions could be filled from
within.
Ken Yutrzenka, Human
Services director, warned
that moving puzzle pieces
around will create openings
somewhere else.
Commissioner Oliver
Skip Swanson said, It
seems to that all this addi-
tional revenue were bring in
is breaking us. After the
meeting he clarified that a
lot of new positions that
come with the promise of
additional revenue end up
costing tax payers money in
the long run.
Violent crime task force
Sheriff Ray Kuznia
reported that several coun-
ties have expressed interest
in forming a violent crime

Minnesota. A preliminary
meeting will be held at 7
p.m. on Monday, July 21 at
the Joint Use Facility in
Thief River Falls.
Among the counties that
have expressed interest in
participating in the task
force include Norman, Polk,
Red Lake, Pennington,
Marshall, Kittson, Roseau
and Lake of the Woods coun-
ties.

6-4-3 Thief River Falls double play in a
Thursday American Legion baseball
match-up with Fergus Falls.
Another weather-related
postponement for the Green-
bush Race Park canceled
Saturday, July 12, action at
the track.
Over 90 cars had checked
into the pits for the WIS-
SOTA Amsoil dirt track se-
ries, only to have Mother
Nature put an end to plans
that called for six classes of
cars, plus the NLRA late
models, competing for Mid-

ors.
It was the fourth time in
seven race dates that the
track has lost out to the
weather this year.
Racing is scheduled Satur-
day, July 19, when the track
will present the Chad Olson
Memorial lightning sprint
special; the $1,000 to win
event for the WISSOTA
streets; plus the Mid-Season
Championships for the WIS-
SOTA modifieds, midwest

for the American Cancer So-
ciety that was planned at the
track last week has been
rescheduled for Aug. 2.
On race night, gates open
at 4:30 p.m.; hot laps are at
6:30; and racing starts at 7.
Nick Hoffard stretched out
on a delivery to the plate
as the Thief River Falls
pitcher worked Game 1 of

Officers conduct water safety checks in area
During the past week,
conservation officers with
the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources con-
ducted boat and water safety
checks. Following an investi-
gation into a report of indi-
viduals firing bottle rockets
from a pontoon being navi-
gated after dark on the river
without navigation lights
within the city limits of
Thief River Falls, the opera-
tor was arrested for boating
while intoxicated.
The purpose of the
Division of Enforcement
weekly report is to promote
the activities performed by
Division of Enforcement per-
sonnel in protecting
Minnesota's natural
resources through effective
law enforcement and educa-
tion.
District 1 - Baudette area
Updated July 8, 2014
Conservation Officer Ben
Huener, Roseau, checked
anglers on Lake of the
Woods. Complaints were
taken for boats traveling
faster than no-wake on the
Warroad River due to ero-
sion concerns from the high
water. A meeting was
attended with the Roseau
County Board on questions
on a no-wake ordinance on
the Warroad River. Anglers
and boaters were checked.
Enforcement contacts
included angling without a
license, angling with extra
lines, possessing illegal
length walleyes, personal
watercraft at greater than
no-wake speed within 150
feet of a dock, insufficient
life-saving devices onboard
watercraft, and operating
after dark without required
navigation lights.
Conservation Officer
Jeremy Woinarowicz, Thief
River Falls, worked the
Independence Day holiday
on Lake of the Woods with
Huener, seeing moderate
success on walleyes. Boat
and water safety checks
were conducted at night on
the Red Lake River, finding
a pontoon launching rockets
from its bow as it motored
up river at night in down-
town Thief River Falls with-
out navigation lights. After
contacting the craft for the
navigation lights and fire-
works violation, the operator
was arrested for boating
while intoxicated. Other
enforcement action for the
week included angling with-
out a license, angling with
extra lines, possessing ille-
gal length walleye, insuffi-
cient number of personal
flotation devices, and other
boating equipment viola-
tions.
Conservation Officer
Demosthenes Regas,
Blackduck, reported work-
ing fishing, boating activity
and angler/boater aquatic
invasive species compliance
on the Upper Red Lake and
special regulation lakes
throughout the week. Time
was spent patrolling area
trails for all-terrain vehicle,
off-highway motorcycle and
off-road vehicle activity.
Enforcement activity for the
week included angling with-
out a Minnesota angling
license, angling with extra
lines, angling without
license in possession and
boating equipment viola-
tions.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar
announced that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture is
implementing two critical
Farm Bill provisions she
authored to help protect
farmers and ranchers and
improve conservation. The
USDA is implementing
Klobuchars provision that
will help beginning farmers
and ranchers access crop
insurance by cutting the
costs of insurance by 10 per-
cent and waiving adminis-
trative fees during their first
five years of farming. The
agency will also implement a
measure Klobuchar champi-
oned that will protect native
prairie by making small
changes to the crop insur-
ance program to reduce the
incentive to grow crops for
the first time on native
prairie, encouraging conser-
vation of grasslands that
wildlife use as habitat.
Our beginning farmers
and ranchers need support
and certainty in order to
grow and thrive, Klobuchar
said. These new programs I
fought to include in the
Farm Bill will give our farm-
ers and ranchers an impor-
tant boost and improve con-
servation to help keep our
rural economies and commu-
nities strong.
The USDA recently
announced it would be
implementing another
Klobuchar-authored provi-
sion that will eliminate pay-
ment reductions for grazing
livestock on Conservation
Reserve Program acres for
new and beginning farmers,
helping beginning producers
get a start while also provid-
ing valuable ecological bene-
fits to CRP land. The USDA
will also implement a num-
ber of additional initiatives
aimed at strengthening the
financial security for begin-
ning farmers and ranchers.
This includes a waived serv-
ice fee for enrolling in the
Non-Insured Crop Disaster
Assistance Program and
increased payments under
the Emergency Assistance
for livestock, honeybees and
farm-raised fish program.
There will also be a new
website that will provide
easy access to USDA initia-
tives designed to help begin-
ning farmers and ranchers.
The great gathering is
about to take place. The
Pennington County Fair
officially begins on July
16 with a parade.
Our county fair has
retained its traditional
and historical purpose -
that is, it remains a
gathering of people to
display or trade produce
or other goods, and/or a
place to parade or dis-
play animals. It is also a
great place for family
fun, and its important
to our community for
many reasons.
We all know it pro-
vides participants an
opportunity to learn
from the feedback and
suggestions they receive.
And for the young 4-
Hers at the fair, it helps
them develop skills
theyll use in adulthood.
But, we also continue
to support our fair
because it reinforces our
work ethic and the
desire to improve. It
reaffirms the impor-
tance of agriculture to
our culture and our
economy.
The county fair also
provides an economic
benefit to the communi-
ty through the increased
visits to town, purchase
of fuel, motels, collection
of taxes, and consump-
tion and purchase of
food. It provides great
summer entertainment,
much of which is free.
And, it reinforces the
relationships we have
between each other and
our community.
Above all, the county
fair is a composite - a
mix, a blend - a complex
mixture of who we are
individually and collec-
tively.
Not all county fairs
have retained their tra-
ditional and historical
purpose, but ours has.
High attendance, and
high numbers of
exhibitors, exhibits and
animals tell us our com-
munity supports its fair.
We can enumerate the
reasons the fair is
important and why the
community supports it,
but nothing compares to
a fair through the eyes
of a child. It is much
like Christmas Day. I
doubt there is anyone
who doesnt have a spe-
cial memory of the fair
from their childhood.
Lets create some more
memories.
While visiting North
Dakota recently, I heard
stories about fast
growth and disturbing
reports of soaring crime
rates. Once peaceful
towns and neighbor-
hoods are now experi-
encing burglaries,
arsons, assaults, and
growing illegal drug
trade. This is not just a
phenomenon in rural
North Dakota, although
it does seem that the
problems are growing
faster there.
Research shows that
crimes that were once
urban specific are now
becoming issues in rural
communities. The
research also revealed
some contradictions,
which obviously indi-
cates a need for further
study. We could hypoth-
esize that communities
where neighborhoods
are more closely knit,
have fewer reports or
experiences with what
was once specifically
deemed urban crime.
There used to be sev-
eral active
Neighborhood Watch
organizations in our
community. Im not so
sure they are as active
today, but in this day
and age of crime, neigh-
bors uniting together is
a good idea. Theyre also
great opportunities to
have a party and get to
know our neighbors.
Police officers would
also tell us there are a
lot of simple things we
could do that would stop
or at least slow down
criminals - like locking
the doors to our homes
and cars, not leaving
our car keys, wallets
and other valuables in
our cars, changing the
passwords to our com-
puters every now and
then, not sharing per-
sonal information
online, and keeping an
eye out for unusual
activity in our neighbor-
hood and community.
Another problem officers
might share would be to
get over our cultural
reluctance of getting
involved in affairs that
dont directly affect us.
If you witness some-
thing that could be a
crime, report it to law
enforcement. Youll be
doing yourself, your
neighbors, your commu-
nity and even the crimi-
nals, a favor.
Biofuels:
Look into
practices
of big oil
companies
Senators Amy Klobuchar
(D-MN) and Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) said a report on anti-
competitive practices by oil
companies to block biofuels
underscores the need for
action to protect consumers.
The report from the
Renewable Fuels
Association found that
unbranded or independent
stations are roughly four to
six times more likely to offer
E85 and 40 times more like-
ly to offer E15 than stations
carrying a Big Five oil
brand.
Homegrown renewable
fuels help spur innovation
in our economy and
strengthen our countrys
energy security, Klobuchar
said. Thats why Ive called
on the Federal Trade
Commission to investigate
possible anticompetitive
practices by oil companies
that block these fuels from
making it to consumers.
This new report underscores
the need for the FTC to look
into these allegations, and I
will continue pushing to
ensure that consumers have
access to the cheaper, clean-
er fuels they deserve.
The Renewable Fuel
Standard was designed to
ensure consumers have a
choice of homegrown renew-
able energy over foreign or
fossil fuel. But, this report
makes clear that big inter-
national oil companies dont
want the competition from
cleaner, domestic renewable
fuels. Instead, they are
doing everything they can to
prevent consumers from
having the choice, Grassley
said. Its the actions of
these big oil interests that
are standing in the way of
meeting the requirements of
the Renewable Fuel
Standard, and so far, based
on the EPA proposal for
2014, the agency has fallen
for big oils rhetoric. Big oil
interests cant argue for
repeal of the RFS because it
doesnt work when theyre
the ones responsible for
ensuring that consumers
dont have the choice for
higher ethanol blends. I
hope the EPA comes around
and gets the RFS right in
the end.
The reports Consumer
Choice Report Card shows
less than 1 percent of brand-
ed stations offer E15 or E85.
Of nearly 48,000 retail gas
stations carrying a Big
Five oil company brand,
less than 300 offer E85 or
E15.

POLICIES
To the Editor:
I would like to let every-
one know that there is still
good in this world! I was at
the dentist the other day
with my daughter. When I
went to pay my bill, I was
told that a gentleman had
paid the bill for me! I asked
who it was and was told he
wished to remain anony-
mous. I asked if he knew me
and they said he did not he
just wanted to do something
nice. I was in awe. If that
wasnt enough, when I
arrived home, I got a call
from the dentists office
telling me that he didnt just
pay my bill, but put $200 on
my account for future
expenses!
I cannot express how
grateful I am for this good
deed. I am not able to tell
him thank you, or let him
know just how much this
means to me, but I do want
everyone to know that there
is still good in the world. I
feel like we hear about the
bad way too much and just
wanted to share the good!
And, my Good Samaritan, if
you are reading this, I thank
you from the bottom of my
heart!

Stumpfs local road efforts
To the Editor:
As the dust settles on the
2014 Legislative Session, it
is important to recognize
some very positive things
that were accomplished for
Greater Minnesota. One
encouraging outcome was
the result of the work Sen.
LeRoy Stumpf, did this year
in building recognition and
funding for the Local Road
Improvement Fund.
Everybody knows our
roads are the lifeline that
allows Greater Minnesota to
participate in the economic
engine that fuels the state
and regional economy. But
the technological advances
that are allowing greater
yields out of the fields and
forests, are bottlenecked by
load limits on key farm and
forest-to-market roads.
Those aging roads were built
to a sleepy, decades-old stan-
dard that puts an anchor on
our ability to compete effec-
tively in world markets. You
might say we have an eight-
track road system in a
touch-screen navigation and
audiophile marketplace.
We're pleased Stumpf - as
chairman of the Capitol
Investment Committee - led
the effort this year to secure
funding.
Twelve years ago in 2002,
the Minnesota Rural
Counties Caucus proposed
creation of the LRIF in
recognition of the fact that
the highway funding formu-
la was woefully inadequate
in keeping pace with devel-
oping economic and safety
demands. The idea was to
build a sturdy, integrated,
statewide system of 10-ton
roads based on local input
and coordinated by
Transportation State-Aid,
that would facilitate heavier
loads and fewer trips. Until
this year and Stumpf s
efforts the program has
been chronically underfund-
ed.
In 2012, local government
engineers submitted proj-
ects to the LRIF totaling
$282 million. Those $282
million in local project needs
competed for just $10 mil-
lion in funds - which has
been the typical allocation
until this year.
In the absence of a com-
prehensive statewide trans-
portation funding package
that begins to adequately
address the large and grow-
ing mountain of highway
funding needs, Stumpf led
the way this year by includ-
ing $53.4 million in bonding
for the LRIP.
The MRCC
appreciatesthe effort to slow
the degradation of our farm
and forest to market roads
and are grateful for the lead-
ership demonstrated by
Stumpf this year.

Look at AT&T-DirecTV deal
Sen. Al Franken (D-
Minn.) urged key federal
regulators to take a close
look at AT&T's proposed
acquisition of DirecTV and
determine if the deal is in
consumers best interests.
In a letter sent to the
Federal Communications
Commission and the
Department of Justice,
Franken asked the regula-
tors to examine AT&Ts com-
mitment to providing a
standalone broadband
Internet option. He said that
forcing customers into bun-
dled packages, which
include services that con-
sumers may not want, would
continue to raise prices and
limit consumer choice.
Franken also said that regu-
lators must look at the deals
potential effects on net neu-
trality, particularly in the
mobile market.
"I urge you to carefully
scrutinize AT&Ts proposed
acquisition of DirecTV to
determine whether the deal
is in consumers best inter-
ests," Franken wrote in his
letter.
Franken said the com-
bined entity will have
enhanced power in virtually
every corner of the telecom-
munications market and
asked what this deal would
mean for competition, inno-
vation, and the general pub-
lic.
He pressed the company
to explain and clarify its
commitments to fair con-
sumer pricing and rural
broadband, two issues hes
fought hard for since joining
the Senate.

50 YEARS AGO JULY 20, 1964
Fire Following
Lightning Razes
Valle Church
Valle Lutheran church
east of Oklee, a landmark
since 1911, was struck by a
bolt of lightning the evening
of July 9. Despite early dis-
covery and efficient work by
firemen and volunteers, the
structure was burned to the
ground.
Fire-fighters were suc-
cessful in removing most of
the churchs furnishings
and equipment, including
the pews, altar, electric
organ and chairs, but were
unable to save the building.
Insurance of $10,000
was carried on the building,
with $4,000 on its contents.
The church was in a good
state of repair, having
undergone many improve-
ments in recent years.
Valle is one of the three
congregations of the Oklee
Lutheran parish, Rev. R. A.
Saethre, pastor.
Triplets
Triplets born to Mr. and
Mrs. Orben Good of Trail at
the Redlake hospital, July
15, include a 6 lb. 9 oz. boy,
and two girls, one 6 lb. 1 oz.
and the other, 7 lb. 10 oz.
The triplets, as yet
unnamed, join a family of
eight other children, rang-
ing in age from 16 years to
20 months.

was done.
Auto Tour Caught in Rain
A five-car automobile tour to Union Lake and

ened out by means of a crow bar and chain and the party

Thompson, A. Miller and Ben Kruse.
Work on Soo Bridge Starts
Work on the Soo line bridge that crosses the Red

bridge and present wooden piers will be replaced by con-
crete ones, the foundations of which will reach 25 feet
beneath the bed of the river. A steel span will connect
the piers and when complete, the bridge will be a strict-
ly steel and concrete structure.
From the Editorial Page
Papers in Hot Water! Rumors are afloat that the
Hon. D. P. ONeill intends to bring suit against the
SUNBEAM and the NEWS-PRESS for publishing articles
suggesting that he took money for locating the normal
school at Bemidji. It is said that Mr. ONeill conferred
with the states attorney regarding the matter when he
was in St. Paul a few weeks ago and secured the opinion
that the articles furnished sufficient grounds for a suit.
-- News item in THIEF RIVER FALLS TIMES. Well, it cost a
few citizens of Thief River Falls about $2,000 to lose out
anyway. We shouldnt think a real statesman would
allow even this amount to be spent so foolishly.
Editor Hunt of the SUNBEAM charges
Representative ONeill with having secured the services
of a drainage company attorney to fix a drainage law
which was primarily drafted in the interest of the farm-
ers, and offers the representative necessary space in the
SUNBEAM to deny the story.
At long last, voters in the 1964 presidential elec-
tion will be given a change between a liberal and an
honest-to-goodness conservative.
Fall is almost here. The Minnesota Vikings foot-
ball squad is holding practice sessions at Bemidji.
Some of the civil rights people, we hear, are
spelling it Bury Goldwater.
President Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater
have at least one thing in common. Both are non-
smokers.
After all, its only natural that platform planks
should have a few knotholes in them.
Its nice to be fluent on a half-dozen languages,
but wed settle for being affluent in one.
Considering ebbing farm income, the Farmers
Union is treating Agriculture Secretary Orville
Freeman very kindly compared to the way it showered
abuse on Freemans Republican predecessor, Ezra Taft
Benson.
It was just too bad for a lot of TV viewers last
week. There was nothing for them to look at but the
Republican convention. In August it will the
Democrats occupying the center of the stage.
Classes in modern history should have loose-leaf
notebooks.

Governor requests Presidential Disaster Declaration
Gov. Mark Dayton
requested that President
Barack Obama declare a
major disaster in Minnesota
as a result of heavy rain-
storms and flooding that
began June 11. In a letter to
Obama, Dayton described
widespread flood damage
across Minnesota, and noted
that he has expanded the
states peacetime state of
emergency to include 16
additional counties bring-
ing the total counties
impacted to 51.
To date, $10.8 million in
eligible damages have been
documented through prelim-
inary damage assessments
in Chippewa, Freeborn,
Jackson, Murray, Nobles,
Pipestone, Renville, and
Rock counties. The Federal
Emergency Management
Agency threshold for federal
assistance is $7.3 million in
statewide eligible damages.
In his letter to the presi-
dent, Dayton said 31 coun-
ties and one American
Indian tribe have reported
more than $55 million in
response costs and unin-
sured damages to public
infrastructure. The
Public Safety Division of
Homeland Security and
Emergency Management,
FEMA, and county emer-
gency managers are continu-
ing to assess damage in
affected counties.
Dayton noted that prelim-
inary damage assessments
are coming in higher than
initial estimates, and
because some of the hardest
hit areas wont be able to be
assessed for several weeks,
he is requesting a federal
disaster declaration now.
The governor said once all
preliminary damage assess-
ments are complete, he will
formally request FEMA des-
ignate assistance for all
additional counties and trib-
al governments that exceed
their threshold.
Most of the damage
reported by local officials is
to roads and bridges. Local
governments also expended
significant resources to pro-
tect their communities from
floodwaters and for cleanup
operations caused by mud-
slides and sinkholes.
If granted by the presi-
dent, the disaster declara-
tion would provide assis-
tance to townships, cities,
counties, schools, and cer-
tain private not-for-profit
organizations for uninsured
and eligible storm-related
damage to public infrastruc-
ture.
Examples of eligible
expenses would include:
Debris removal
Emergency protective
services
Repair or replacement
of storm-damaged:
Roads and bridges
Water control facilities
Buildings and equip-
ment
Municipal utilities
Parks and recreational
facilities
If the president declares a
major disaster, FEMA would
fund 75 percent of approved
costs. Under legislation
signed by Dayton this year,
the state will pay the 25 per-
cent non-federal share.
The governors letter also
requests that the declara-
tion include funding for the
Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program. All counties in the
state would be eligible to
apply for assistance under
this program, which pro-
vides funding to state and
local governments and cer-
tain private not-for-profit
organizations to prevent or
reduce long-term risk to life
and property from natural
hazards.
Dayton issued Executive
Order 14-12, expanding the
peacetime state of emer-
gency in Minnesota to
include these counties:
Anoka, Chippewa, Chisago,
Dakota, Hennepin, Itasca,
Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle,
Martin, Marshall, Stearns,
Wabasha, Washington,
Watonwan, Wright, and
Yellow Medicine.
Disaster Declaration
Process
When an event occurs
that is beyond the response
and recovery capabilities of
local and state governments,
the State initiates a process
to seek Federal assistance.
1. Local and state offi-
cials conduct an initial
impact assessment. This
occurs shortly after the
storm when local officials
inform HSEM which facili-
ties in their community are
impacted, damage, impacts
to the communities and
their demographics.
2. HSEM requests
FEMA to conduct a pre-
liminary damage assess-
ment. Teams from the
affected county, HSEM and
FEMA conduct the assess-
ment. They view the damage
and collect the cost esti-
mates from county officials.
Each county must meet its
individual threshold which
is defined as population
times $3.50. The state must
also meet a threshold of $7.3
million statewide.
3. HSEM prepares the
governors request for a
disaster declaration. A
letter details the event and
cites National Weather
Service data. It must docu-
ment factors that determine
severity, magnitude and
impact. It also documents
what local officials did to
respond to the emergency.
Local input regarding
impact to the community is
gathered and incorporated
in the letter. This includes
the amount and type of dam-
age, impact on infrastruc-
ture, impact on essential
services, concentration of
damage, level of insurance
coverage, assistance avail-
able from other sources, and
if there is an imminent
threat to public health and
safety.
4. Governor submits
the letter to the president
through FEMA. FEMA
reviews and sends the letter,
with its recommendation to
the president. The president
is the only one with authori-
ty to grant a Presidential
Disaster Declaration. If
assistance programs are
approved, HSEM officials
work in partnership with
FEMA to assistance disaster
victims in their application
for funds.
Theres activity at Lincoln High School even
in the summer. Lynette Haugen is pictured
watering some of the hostas and grasses
she and Katie Shaw recently planted
around the new LHS sign. In the back-
ground, the LHS Marching Band was prac-
ticing in preparation of the Pennington
County Fair Parade on Wednesday, July 16.
Thief River Care Center residents enjoyed a horse show
Tuesday, July 8 with horses from He Reigns Ranch.
Christine Fosters students showed the residents some rid-
ing skills. Residents also had the opportunity to pet the
horses. (Submitted)
