    Remember That?

    Times do change-- even in the world of

    coffee we drink. My late father, who in his

    exaggerated broken English (for fun)

    would proclaim “Who would have

    THUNK it?” followed by a laugh.

    I began drinking coffee as a kid. It

    seemed to be a status of growing up, to be

    in the coffee drinking loop. Everyone in

    our house drank coffee, with cream and

    sugar added. Correction: we had sugar

    and Pet Milk in a can. In my teen years

    eating breakfast was not very cool, and

    one must always be cool! So I began my

    ‘breakfast’ with a cup of coffee, sweetened

    and white with milk. My toast was

    slathered with peanut butter, which was

    dunked into the coffee. It was the thing to

    do, at that time.

    A new version of coffee came to light

    when I lived in Spain. I observed quite a

    bit in the 22 months we living in Seville,

    me as a Air Force dependent. We spent the

    first seven weeks in the Hotel Niza, await-

    ing moving into Air Force housing. The

    dining room tried their best to please the

    Americans that ate many meals there. I

    shudder as I remember the natives having

    their cup of java. Initially I thought it to

    be a joke, as I watched the grown men

    drink out of a cup that was child sized.

    First off, the aroma of it was staggering,

    and upon closer inspection, it was totally

    ink black, and thick as syrup as it came

    from their cup. Enough caffeine to keep a

    person wired for quite a while. So they

    lightened it up for the Americans, and we

    were all happy.

    Then my move to Minnesota. So does-

    n’t everyone drink coffee sweetened and

    cream added. Apparently not. I was new

    to the state and local area, and more than

    willing to fit in with the locals. We would

    go visit with Alden’s friends, and sure

    enough, when people gather about up

    here, coffee is served, and most always a

    sweet to go with it. I felt a bit foolish when

    the host/hostess had to fill the sugar bowl

    and bring out the cream, just for me. I

    couldn’t drink it black.

    Time passed, and I was in Alexandria

    having baby #2 Renee. In those days you

    were in the hospital several days, and

    when the food trays were brought in, I

    never had the condiments for the coffee,

    so I tried ordering tea. After all, “hot”

    was the magical word. Well, the day came

    that I decided to ’choke it down’ black, as

    indeed it was hot, and hot I had to have it.

    The three daughters grew up, none of

    them coffee drinkers. Then Dawn and

    Ron returned from living out of state, and

    guess what? They turned into coffee

    drinkers! This is about the time flavored

    coffee, and yes, STRONG, became popu-

    lar. The stronger, the better, and of course

    they added sugar and cream. Sorry, can’t

    do it, and still can’t. When we visit, two

    pots are brewed at both Dawn and Kath-

    leen’s homes. Creatures of habit, and then

    there’s the caffeine thing. Mom and Dad

    drink their weak variety, and the younger

    set put down their ’mud’, although Kath-

    leen doesn’t drink coffee after 3 p.m.-too

    much caffeine. So that is how it goes with

    them and how it goes with the folks. Stale-

    mate.

    The Republican caucus heldon Saturday evening was thelargest attended caucus held inthe town for years, and gaveevidence that the old timeRepublican spirit was preva-lent. A motion was maderequesting the delegates topledge themselves to vote theRepublican ticket entire, but itwas evidently conceded byChairman Hoff and many oth-ers that there were none pres-ent who would so far forsaketheir honor as to attend andtake part in a Republican cau-cus unless they were Republi-cans and honestly intend tosupport the Republican nomi-nees, National, state and coun-ty, and the motion was buried.

    K.K. Fuglie, John Lynneand R. Borchert were chosenas delegates to the county con-vention, and John Lynne, J.O.Madland and John Stene wereduly appointed as caucus com-mittee for the ensuing twoyears.

    For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—havebeen clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

    —Romans 1:20 NIV

    Believing Is SeeingWe all know the old saying “seeing is believing,”which makes perfect sense, since it is hard todoubt something that is right in front of you.But the equation of seeing and believing worksboth ways. That is, we often believe onlybecause we have directed our eyes, or our men-tal gaze, in the direction of something. Many ofus believe in God because we have seen Hiswork in our lives or have experienced him in away that is hard to doubt. Many view the natu-ral world around them as the handiwork of Godand this strengthens their faith. The eleventhchapter of Hebrews gives a working definition offaith as “confidence in what we hope for andassurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews11:1 NIV) Those who believe without seeing are sometimes commended for theirfaith, but sometimes, in the effort to strengthen our faith, we really need to lookharder. If you aren’t looking for God in the world then you probably won’t seeHim there, whereas if you make a determined effort to see God, both in the guiseof your fellow human beings, and in the natural world all around you, you aresure to see Him everywhere. —Christopher Simon

    Otter Tail 150 Coffee KlatchConcludes with State HospitalThe Otter Tail County Historical Society’s Otter Tail 150

    Coffee Klatch series concludes Friday, April 13, 10 a.m. withLowell Carpenter presenting “The Fergus Falls State Hospital:Ahead of its Time.”

    It is hard to assess the impact of the Fergus Falls State Hos-pital during its 115 year history. What is its legacy? How shouldit be remembered? Should we remember the hospital by thepublic perception that this massive facility was full of neglect-ed patients, harsh treatments and callous employees? Or shouldwe remember it as an enlightened institution which was at theforefront of innovative treatment, run by empathetic administra-tors and employees who took pride in their humane treatment oftheir patients? Beyond the current controversy regarding thepreservation of the building itself, what did it contribute? Low-ell Carpenter’s presentation will examine some of the peopleand events which suggest the Fergus Falls State Hospital wasamong the most innovative and respected state hospitals in thenation.

    A retired public school teacher, Carpenter wrote and directed“Walking the Tightrope” a 2015 theater production that drama-tized stories of how the hospital touched the lives of employees,patients and the community.

    Battle Lake To Ashby Trail GetsOtter Tail County Support

    DNR Reminder: Return Of Cold WeatherDoesn’t Mean Ice Is Safe

    License Sales Support DiverseAngling Opportunities

    Share your passion and help sustain Minnesota’s unique fisheries

    By Tom Hintgen, Otter TailCounty Correspondent

    Otter Tail County, throughcounty commissioners, sup-ports the efforts of the City ofBattle Lake and the City ofAshby in leading the effort tohave the Battle Lake to AshbyRegional Trail formally desig-nated as a regional trail ingreater Minnesota. This trail plan is coordinat-ed with the Greater MinnesotaRegional Parks and TrailsCommission. The trail will connect Glen-dalough State Park to the Cen-tral Lakes State Trail withconnections through the Cityof Battle Lake and the City ofAshby.

    Opportunity zones approved for Pelican, Parkers Prairie County Economic Devel-opment Director NickLeonard briefed the CountyBoard of Commissionersabout opportunity zones, anew community developmentprogram established by Con-gress in the Tax Cut and JobsAct of 2017. Commissioners voted todesignate two opportunity

    zones in Otter Tail County,one in Pelican Rapids and onein Parkers Prairie. The intent of the program isto encourage long-terminvestments in low-incomeand urban communitiesnationwide. Each governorcan designate 25 percent ofthe eligible census tracts asopportunity zones in his or herstate. In Minnesota, the governorhas identified 180 zones forlow-income housing. Discussion continuedregarding the program andprocess to apply for funds. Volunteers will help with minor home repairs West Central MinnesotaCommunities Action HousingSupport Specialist HeidiGrove and Lakes and PrairiesCommunity Action AdvocateSarah Boesen met with thecounty commissioners regard-ing the Group Cares Campevent scheduled for July 22 toJuly 28, 2018. About 200 students will beperforming minor homerepairs in West Otter TailCounty and in Wilkin County. Grove and Boesen spoke

    about the relationships builtthrough the program and les-sons learned by students whovolunteer their time. The Mahube OTWA Com-munity Action Council in Fer-gus Falls is a partner in theevent. Applications are beingmade for homeowners whoneed painting or minor repairscompleted on their homes.

    County commissionersauthorized a contract with theState DHS for contract exten-sions with the subcontractors.Additional purchase of servic-es will include reimbursementto project partners.

    With cold weather return-ing across much of the state,the Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources reminds iceanglers and other recreation-ists not to be fooled by anyremaining ice on lakes andstreams. Over the past week, publicsafety officials have reportedmore than a half-dozen iceemergencies across the stateinvolving anglers and ATVriders breaking through thin orweak ice. “The freeze-thaw cycleproduces extremely weak icethat is dangerously deceptivein its appearance and howthick it measures,” said LisaDugan, recreation safety out-reach coordinator. “A cold

    snap now doesn’t change thefact that ice already had begunmelting and continues to dete-riorate rapidly.” According to the DNR,many of the state’s lakes arestill ice-covered, but changingconditions mean lakes can gofrom ice-covered to openwater over the course of a dayor two. As the sun gainsstrength with the onset ofspring, ice conditions canchange dramatically within amatter of hours even when theair temperature remains cold. “We’ve had reports ofanglers falling through ice thatwas just fine an hour earlier.That’s how fast things canchange,” Dugan said. “If youdo choose to venture onto

    late-season ice, use extremecaution. Use a chisel to checkthe strength of the ice fre-quently, be sure to wear a lifejacket or float coat, andremember that no fish is worththe risk of losing your life.” With five ice-related fatali-ties already reported duringthe 2017-2018 ice season,Dugan said it’s imperative tonot let your guard down. Sheemphasized the importance ofwarning children to stay awayfrom ice and open waterunless accompanied by aresponsible adult. For additional informationabout ice safety, visitwww.mndnr.gov/icesafety.

    Walleye might be Minneso-ta’s most popular fish, but thestate’s waters also arerenowned for trophy catfish,muskellunge and smallmouthbass. All of the state’s largerivers are home to lake stur-geon, which can weigh asmuch as 100 pounds. In south-eastern Minnesota, trout riseto flies in the region’s cold,clear spring creeks. Along theNorth Shore, large migratoryrainbow trout known as steel-head provide thrills. “Whether you are after thefish of a lifetime or somebluegills for the frying pan,when you buy a license youare helping fund work thatsustains Minnesota’s uniquefisheries,” said Jenifer Wical,the DNR’s Fish and Wildlifemarketing coordinator. “Whenyou share your passion by tak-ing someone else fishing, youare helping sustain the futureof great fishing in Minnesota.” There are adult individualangling licenses and licenses

    for married couples. Anglerscan buy licenses for 24-hour,72-hour and three-year timeperiods. Lifetime licenses cankeep someone fishing longinto the future, and come atgreat prices, especially forchildren 3 and under and thoseages 51 and older. Lifetimelicenses also can be given asgifts. Youth ages 16 and 17 canbuy an annual license for $5.Minnesotans 15 and under arenot required to buy a licenseto fish but must comply withfishing regulations. All non-residents need a license,except those age 15 andyounger do not need one if aparent or guardian is licensed. Buy licenses at any DNRlicense agent, online with amobile or desktop device atmndnr.gov/buyalicense, or byphone at 888-665-4236.Mobile buyers receive a textor email that serves as proofof a valid fish or game licenseto state conservation officers.

    Customers are encouragedto update their customerrecord online at mndnr.gov/buyalicense. Adding an email,while not required, allows theDNR to send important hunt-ing and fishing information,and gather input through sur-veys.

    It’s not too early to startprotecting yourself againsttick bites, says Dr. JenniferCoburn, a professor at theUniversity of Wisconsin, anationally recognized experton tick borne diseases. Since2009 at least 25 cases of Ehrli-chiosis have been reported inMinnesota and Wisconsin.This is a bacterial infectioncaused by a newly discoveredspecies of bacteria namedehrlichia species in Wisconsinand spread by the bite of deerticks. Symptoms are oftennonspecific and include fever,chills, aches and just feelinglousy. They are more severethan those of Lymes and don’tmake the bulls-eye rash thesymptom of Lyme disease.With Lymes the symptoms areoften so mild that you don’tnotice them. This new bugwill make you pretty sick andmuch faster.The bacteria attack and

    replicate in the blood cells thatnormally fight infections. Asthey replicate, they reduce thebody’s ability to fight off otherbacteria. If you have analready compromised immune

    system, you are at a particular-ly high risk of severe illnessfrom this complication. Thefact that ehrlichia makes peo-ple so sick that they go fortreatment quickly is a blessingin disguise as it is easily treat-ed with the same antibiotic,doxycycline, used in the treat-ment of Lymes. This reducesthe chance of a secondaryinfection. So far, this antibiot-ic has been 100% successfuland the bacteria hasn’t shownany ability to form a resistanceto it.There is a blood test avail-

    able through the Mayo Clinicand doctors have been madeaware of it. Since doctorscan’t diagnose a disease theydon’t know about, the publici-ty this has gotten and the pub-lic’s interest in it shouldensure that doctors will be onthe lookout for this particularset of symptoms.Dr. Coburn says that bacte-

    ria are constantly evolving andthat this one may have onlyrecently mutated into a speciesthat can infect humans. Itmight just recently havedeveloped the ability to be

    transmitted by ticks. It couldhave expanded from a wildlifereservoir that is maintained inthe wildlife by other tickspecies. If so, how did it getinto humans? No one knows atthis time.Prevention is the same as it

    is for other ticks. Spray yourclothes with a spray contain-ing permethrin. Cover ex-posed skin with a spray orcream with a high percentageof DEET. Ticks are sneaky.They can hide in your scalp orother places not easy for youto see. If you have a partner, afull bare body exam afterbeing outside is ideal. Secondbest is a mirror. Don’t cover atick with liquid soap or petro-leum jelly. This just ticks thetick off, making it releasemore of its bodily fluids caus-ing a greater chance of infec-tion. Instead grab it as close tothe mouth parts with a tweez-ers as you can. Pull slowly andsteadily. If the mouth parts areleft in your skin tweeze themout. And if you do feel fever-ish and just plain lousy, seeyour doctor as soon as you canand let him know you mayhave had or did have a tickbite. Between tick and mosquito

    borne diseases, Petunia hasdecided to spend the summerinside reading romances anddrinking lemonade in the air-conditioned house this sum-mer. the wimp.

    In a sure sign of spring, the Minnesota Department of Trans-portation begins its transition away from snowplow operationsby conducting aerial mapping in west central Minnesota. Aerial mapping will take place in the following locations: • Highway 28 between Highway 59 and Starbuck • Highway 34 from Osage to Park Rapids • Highway 75 between Wheaton and Highway 55 • Highway 92 between Clearwater County Road 35 to High-way 200 at Zerkel • Highway 200 between Highway 71 and Clearwater CountyRoad 2 at Itasca State Park • I-94 between Evansville and the north Grant County line The aerial survey process relies on clear observations, andmust be conducted after the snow has melted and before thetrees leaf out. To begin the process crews place an “X” on theground as a reference point for the aerial photographer. The mapping will create a record of existing infrastructureand landscape along MnDOT right of way for transportationplanning and highway design. In order to obtain accurate aerialmapping, MnDOT crews will paint large white “X” targets onpaved surfaces, and place plastic or fabric “X” targets onunpaved surfaces. A survey crew then records the coordinate position and ele-vation of the temporary targets for the aerial photography com-pany. The wood panel targets are temporary and will beremoved when the photography is completed. MnDOT requests that landowners not remove or disturb thetargets until the photography is completed. If a target must bemoved, please contact MnDOT District 4 survey office at 218-332-5644 or by email at [email protected].

    as if it will allow ample timeto plan your outdoor activities,with any luck we will actuallyget to engage in spring out-doors this year. If you arepatiently waiting to get out inyour yard, you may as wellpick up a book. “AccidentalHeroes” by Danielle Steel isready for checkout; you maywant to access the online cata-log to place a hold. “Call MeBy Your Name” by Andre Aci-man, which was adapted intoan awarding willing film, isalso available for your readingpleasure.
