Clinton and LouClare Johnson celebrate 73 years together
Pictured are: front, LouClare and Clinton Johnson. Second row, Betty and Bonnie. Back row: Larry and Bev. By Rin Porter Surrounded by four of their six children, many of their 19 grandchildren, and lots of greatgrandchildren, Clinton and LouClare Johnson of Eagle Bend celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary last Saturday at their home. The Johnsons have lived on their farm south of town for 70 years, moving there in 1941. Clintons parents, Charles and Anna Johnson, who were born in South Dakota, rented the same farm for several years before Clinton and LouClare bought it. LouClares parents, Norris and Mable Thorud, farmed about a mile away from where she lives Continued on page 16.
By Rin Porter At its June 13 regular meeting, 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 nonprofit organization that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education. Middle schools and high schools applied for the grants through PLTWs STEM Implementation Fund (PSIF) that requires schools to prove their commitment to preparing students for jobs of the 21st century. PLTW partners with leading U.S. industries, professional associations, private and family foundations, and other philanthropic organizations to provide funding to schools through the PSIF. Minnesota schools will begin offering PLTWs 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 schools already in the program. Schools can receive additional funding in succeeding years if they apply and are approved. The EV districts 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 havent decided definitely how to spend the money yet. Well likely launch a couple of classes at the high school this fall, and after that at the middle school, if we receive additional funding. Weve been told we are eligible for middle school funding 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 classroom moving activities going on at the Clarissa building in preparation for the relocation of the high school curriculum from Eagle Bend to Clarissa beginning this fall. He said the cafeteria had been cleaned and painted, and work on the offices of the elementary principal and three teachers classrooms had been finished. The office of the high Continued on page 16.

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 otherwise unlawful to possess loons. All loons need to be labeled with the date, name of the county, lake and nearest town where it was found, along with name, address and telephone number of the person who found the loons.

Help spark American Red Cross blood supply this summer

The Independence Day holiday will surely ignite many spectacular fireworks extravaganzas, and the American Red Cross is also counting on a spark of donors to boost the blood supply. All blood types are needed to help maintain a sufficient 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 negative, 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 holiday (June 27 July 6), all presenting donors at Red Cross blood drives and blood donation centers in the North Central region will automatically be entered for a chance to win a portable Garmin GPS unit. How to Donate Blood Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or drivers license, or two other forms of identification 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 and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Volunteers can help protect the future of Minnesotas loon population

A statewide study is being conducted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to help ensure the continued health of Minnesotas state bird, the common loon. Boaters, anglers and lakeshore owners are being asked to pick up dead loons for testing to help biologists discover the major causes of death. Minnesotas loon population is about 12,000 birds, and the numbers 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 preventable, the DNR can develop strategies to reduce loon mortality. The DNR is asking for help in collecting recently dead loons without 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 contact when handling dead animals. If gloves are not available, turn a

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 Kevin Winkler 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 the flats, 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 waypoint 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 people 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 usually 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 everyone 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 villages 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 watercraft figure that I was just begging for them to wake up and come all the way 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.

Prevented planting
windbreak and an annual food source nearby. Supplemented with bird or squirrel feeders, it is surprising the number of animals 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 different 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, its 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. Weve planted a few hundred low bushes that provide 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, weve 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 pasture 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. Ive found the best and longest lasting food plot will contain a variety 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 produce corn. Several food plots scattered over a wide area are probably better than one big one. Deep snow might concentrate 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 raining for a day or two, she will mow the lawn so I can get the food plots planted.
A letter from the country

Dear friends, Hope all you dads had a great Fathers 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 popsicles too. I forgot what a mess those can be on a summer day. Oh well, nothing that wouldnt wash was touched and a trip to the sink and a little 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 dont know how big the large size is, but Im 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. Its 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, its hard to spend any time outdoors at all, and going out to pull weeds just isnt enough incentive for me to get all bit up. I have been spending my evenings (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 dusting. 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 continue even when the grandkids stop coming. Tonight, Monday, we are going to celebrate my oldest granddaughters 20th birthday. I cant believe I have a grandkid out of her teens! Where did the time go? Im sure her parents feel the same way. It certainly doesnt seem like it was 20 years ago that she was born. I remember 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
By Walter Scott Spring is the time we think of planting everything from gardens to crops. Outdoorsmen are seriously involved in planning and planting food and cover plots for wildlife. This year has held many challenges for anyone trying to plant. It seems we have been deluged with rain at least every other day for forty days and forty nights, perhaps even longer. If any day has gotten dry enough to even think about planting my food plots, I have had to mow the lawn or do some other mundane but necessary chore. Food plots have been put on hold. People plant different types of food plots for different reasons. Small backyard areas can provide winter cover and a source of food for songbirds and small mammals such as rabbits and squirrels. Many people living in town or on small acreages will often plant a permanent
Letter to the Editor

Being 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

Thursday, June 23, 2011 onded by Ruda, the following resolution was introduced and adopted by unanimous vote: A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A COMMITTEE TO REVIEW PUBLIC SAFETY ORDINANCES AS IT RELATES TO TRAVEL ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS IN THE COUNTY OF TODD WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes 375.51 prescribes a methodology for the County Board to adopt ordinances in the County of Todd, State of Minnesota. RESOLVED, that the Todd County Board of Commissioners hereby establishes a committee directed to prepare for presentation to the County Board, an ordinance for consideration which may require for any or all vehicles traveling on public roadways within the County of Todd to have appropriate lighting or signage so as to ensure the safety of the traveling public, to recommend fees and to recommend other requirements as the committee deems advisable or expedient as long as the proposed requirements are intended to ensure public safety. RESOLVED, that this committee shall be comprised of:a representative from the Todd County Sheriff s Office, a representative from the Todd County Highway Department, a representative from the Todd County Attorneys Office, Commissioners Kircher and Blessing and up to two citizen members to be appointed by the commissioners on the committee. Administrators Report Upon request of the Board, the Administrator reported on grant seeking for the ARMER radio system and the historic courthouse project. Nearly 1 million dollars in FEMA grants has been awarded to the Long Prairie Fire Department for ARMER Deployment. Jayne Jones, the consultant authorized by the Board and hired by the Sheriff to seek federal project appropriation is working with the Sheriff. Last report administration received was May 2, which was to expect committee discussion at the federal level and requests for appropriation to show up in committee. Community Funding Solutions is working on grants for the historic courthouse, historic society grants and USDA grant for geothermal. These may not work due to timing of the geothermal portion of the project. Legislation has been introduced at the State by Senator Ingebrightsen and Representative Franson, HF1278 and SF1188 indicate $110,000 of appropriation for the project, and authorizes a sales tax exemption.It is anticipated that this would be offered as an amendment on the floor during creation of the omnibus bill. AMC is tracking the progress for us. Commissioners Report Recognition was given to Donna Lisson, an employee of 17 1/2 years in the Public Health Department that has worked as Registered Nurse. All the Commissioners commented that they would like to see a kick off ceremony for the renovation of the Historic Courthouse.

Budget numbers and figures
I ran for the Minnesota Senate on the message of making government run better, controlling spending and improving our business climate through regulatory reform. While we did accomplish some important reforms on the path to achieving 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 misinformation 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 Republicanled legislature. The Republican position represents the approximate half way point between General Fund dollars spent last biennium and what the governor wants to spend in the next. The legislature passed the largest general fund budget in our states history and Gov. Dayton vetoed it. This $34 billion budget included $3 billion in additional revenue, is balanced and keeps government open and operating. We even met with the governor recently to propose a compromise offer that matched the governors funding levels for K-12 education, 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 governors tax plan are small business 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 government growth limited to 6 percent and seeking new ways of doing business, Gov. Dayton threatens to shut down government for 15 percent spending growth and even higher taxes. Candidate Dayton said he wouldnt shut down the government to force a tax increase. I remain hopeful that Governor Dayton will keep his promise. Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen (RAlexandria)

Close Call
WHY DRIVING RESPONSIBLY IS A TWO-WAY STREET FOR TEENS AND PARENTS By Stephen Gray Wallace, M.S. Ed. As high school students pour out of the classroom and into their cars, its a good reminder that the summer season almost always proves to be the most dangerous for teen driving. And the news is not getting any better. A new study by SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Liberty Mutual Insurance gives parents reason to pause before handing over the keys to their newly released young driver, revealing an alarmingly high number of teens who have had near misses while behind the wheel. It also delivers some insight into what may be chief contributors to those events even if they differ from what most young people think.
According to the study, 68 percent of teens admit to having narrowly avoided a crash. Yet, perhaps not surprisingly, teens are more likely to blame external factors than to point the finger at themselves 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 distracting or dangerous behaviors: 30 percent were speeding, 21 percent were texting, 20 percent were talking to their passengers, and 17 percent 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 Its no surprise that our close call kids are likely to report they regularly engage in dangerous or distracted driving behaviors: 36 percent say they regularly talk on the cell phone while driving; 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 statistics, 92 percent of teens consider themselves to be safe, cautious drivers. And few seem to sense the dangers lurking on the roadway once schools 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 driving under 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 improvements in driving habits teens do report are more likely to involve paying better attention to other drivers than to texting or speeding less. Apparently, it takes a tough lesson - 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 improvements are forever. Theres got to be a better way. A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Keeping young drivers safe behind 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/teendriving 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 important driving rules for both sides because responsibility is, indeed, a two-way street. This parent-teen dialogue is not a close call.

now. Her grandparents, Andrew and Nathalie Thorud, were born in Norway and immigrated to America in 1886. They homesteaded their farm shortly after their arrival. Clinton and LouClare raised six children two boys and four girls. Their oldest daughter, Carol Anne, passed away in 2001. Their son Larry and daughters Bonnie, Bev, and Betty, live near their parents. Their son Kenny lives near the Twin Cities. The family milked Holsteins for many years. LouClare had a big garden and canned tomatoes and other produce. She raised strawberries and had a U-pick business for a few years. Her main hobby is quilting. Clinton and LouClare sold their dairy herd in 1988, and began spending the winters in Texas. After a while, LouClare started an antique business in their barn. She ran the business for about four years before closing it. It was interesting, LouClare said. You met a lot of people. We traveled 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 trades and master of none. Their daughter Bonnie Benning said her parents are proud of the fact that they dont take any medications except for blood pressure pills. They use natural remedies, she explained. LouClare is 90 and Clinton is 94. They dont hear well, and each one walks with a cane, but they live in their own home and enjoy spending time with family.
Dreher places second at state

Ben Dreher competed at the State track meet June 10 and 11. On Friday, Dreher competed in the triple jump. He placed 10th, one spot out of the medals. Saturday he competed in the high jump and long jump. He placed 13th on the long jump. In the high jump there were 21 competitors. The opening height was 510, and Dreher made that on his first attempt. The bar then went to 62, with 17 remaining competitors. Dreher made it on his second attempt. The bar then went to 64, with 11 competitors. Dreher was the first one jumper to attempt 64, and he made it. The bar then moved to 65, with only three competitors left. Dreher made it on his second attempt. The bar was then placed at a height of 66, and only two jumpers were left. Dreher did not make it, placing him second in Class A. Great job to Ben Dreher at the State track meet.
Eagle Valley, continued

school principal was almost done, Early Childhood and Family Education room walls and lights were done, the old studio being converted to educational use had the cabinetry demolished and removed and new carpet approved for installation, the lobby was done, and two loads of junk had been hauled away for recycling. The south classrooms will be done soon. Preparations are underway for the All School Reunion and Open House being held July 14-16. After that event, 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 ready when school begins. The board learned from board member Chris Notch that 1,253 gallons of fuel oil had been donated to the school by the Alexandria school district, due to the efforts of board member Adam Riedel. The donation has a value of about $4,600. The Alexandria district is changing from fuel oil to propane to heat one of their buildings. The school board voted to approve 23 school-funded activities and three community-funded activities for the 2011-2012 school year, including basketball, football, volleyball, wrestling, softball, baseball, track and field, one-act and full-act plays, cheerleading, speech, pep band, music contests, knowledge bowl, and yearbook. The school board accepted the resignations of Bev Guse and Jan Thorson with gratitude for their years of service. The board voted to lay off four employees at the recommendation of the personnel committee, due to decreases in food service programming and paraprofessional support needs because of the consolidation of the two school buildings into one. Employees to be laid off were Stacie Warren, Heidi Berg, Cheryl Hagen, and Melissa Polovick. Two school board members opposed the school board policy the personnel committee followed in recommending these layoffs, and asked that the policy be reconsidered in the fall. The next meeting of the EV School Board will be held at 6:30 PM June 27 at the Eagle Bend building.
Food Shelf receives special donation

Wednesday, June 15, Little Miss Staples/Motley First Princess Emma Erickson,wearing a purple swimming suit as a reminder of Elderly Abuse Awareness Day, and her sister Elsa, presented Harvey Christensen, representing the Browerville Area Food Shelf, with a donation of Lou-Beans packets for men, women and children. The Erickson family have been making up the packets, consisting of toiletries and personal items for distribution at area food shelves. The have already donated packets at the Staples Food Shelf and plan to visit all five food shelves in the area. Sometimes people need more than food, stated the girls mother. The family purchases the materials to be included in the packets themselves, as a way of helping folks in the community. They also make pillows to be given to children in child protection situations.
Kelsey Ross repeats as girls golf champ

Osakis 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, finishing 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 repeated 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). Im glad its 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 Kelseys 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. Osakis senior Kelsey Ross defended her individual crown, shooting a 76-84-160 over two days. Lewiston-Altura won the team title with a 330-341-671 after placing second last season.
