Game Warden 4 — Mrs. Game Warden
BY PHILIP NEESE
“I, Helen Marilda Victoria
Jahnke was born Nov. 16,
1905, and I married Marion
Cooper when I was 17 years
old, in 1923. We had a loving and happy life but that
is not to say that we did not
have our times. I will tell
you about the time I put my
foot down. During the early
years, game wardens were
allowed to process the venison that had been hit by cars
and there was a lot of that
especially in the McGrath
Game Refuge. They could
sell the meat at local grocery
stores and the monies received were sent to the State.
At one time, Marion sold
enough venison in stores to
pay his wages. Well, Marion
would butcher the meat and
sell the good stuff and leave
me to cook the mangled and
bloodshot meat. One day, I
said, “Marion, no more!” If
you want venison then we
will use only good meat and
that was the end of “road
kill” and he listened to that!
We had very little venison
after that!
“At the game farm in Mad-
elia, Marion became superintendent and I became
responsible for the office as
well as washing, cooking and
taking care of the kids. Did I
tell you that we had eleven
children! Well, there was a
phone in the office but only
a bell in the house, so when
the bell rang I would have
to run outside to answer
the phone. Usually there
were orders for pheasants.
We had many visitors and
I would have to show them
around the place. Sometimes
there were high officials from
countries like Finland, England and Scotland. I always
kept smoked sausage, home
made bread, cakes and rolls
on hand. Many of these big
shots said my food was the
best food they ever ate.
“In 1936 we had a bad
winter. The drifts covered
the electric wires. We ran out
of fuel oil for heat and the
men had to use a homemade
snowplow, which was pulled
by horses. The men would
get in front of the horses and
shovel the snow so that the
horses could get through.
The driveway was a half mile
long and it had to be plowed
so the truck could get in and
also back out.
“The kitchen stove in Madelia burned gasoline. Can
you believe that? One time
when I was filling the stove.,I
set the gallon of gas on the
floor and was taking the
top off the tank when little
Marion took the cap off the
gasoline can and took a big
drink. He could not get his
breath and I did not know
what to do. I put him on his
stomach, opened his mouth
and put my finger down his
throat. Out came the gas,
dinner and all. The Doctor
said that I had saved his life.
One day I was preparing
a roast, I opened the oven
door lit a match and there
was a big boom; the whole
kitchen was on fire. My son
Ralph was right outside and
he yelled, “fire”. The men got
the fire out but the house
was a mess and my hands
were burnt, as was my beautiful hair. I cried as Marion
took care of my hands and
my hair was cut off. I had to
wear a wig. That is when we
got an electric stove.
3
Mom Cooper at the campsite. Notice the diapers on the line.
“In Forest Lake we raised
a lot of watermelons. The
biggest weighed 48 lbs. Even
with company we had a time
eating that one!
“My, Marion was made
supervisor of the McGrath
Refuge in Isle country and
in the fall he would have
14 game wardens working
with him. Deer shining was
the big thing. People would
shine lights at the deer at
night and then shoot them.
Many of them got arrested.
“We lived on a farm and
had 300 chickens. I sold 30
dozen cases of eggs every
day. The eggs had to be
cleaned and graded and put
into cartons. There were 13
deer in our yard every night.
One buck did not want to let
me out in the yard. He would
snort and stamp his feet.
“Marion’s office was our
house and I had a walkietalkie. The car was fixed so
that they could receive my
calls, so when somebody
called about shiners, I would
take the walkie-talkie and
hang it around my neck and
go outside the house and say
1-0 calling 2-0.
“The game warden job
was part of my life. I tagged
whitefish nets, entertained
any game warden that
stopped by (they were always hungry) and of course
there was always that phone.
I waited long hours while
Marion was in the field,
never knowing what might
happen to him out there.
For 40 years we were game
wardens together.”

(800) A-FAMILY (232-6459)
Financial success connected to
marriage?
BY JOSH MONTEZ
In the most recent list
of the Forbes 400, the
wealthiest Americans, all
of them are billionaires.
And there’s another similarity; most are married.
Ignore those bumper
stickers that read, “Driver
carries no cash; he’s married,” because the fact
is studies show being
married has financial
benefits. Jenny Tyree
with Focus on the Family says hers and other
family groups have been
saying that for years.
“Family experts have
long recognized the financial benefits of mar-
riage, calling it a wealth
creating institution because both the married
and their children reap
from both the tangible
and the intangible benefits of marriage.”
She says it’s simple:
marriages keep families
out of poverty.
“One family expert has
said that avoiding poverty requires three things
and marriage is essential
to two of those: finishing
high school, marrying
before having children
and marrying after the
age of 20.”
Mike McManus with
Marriage Savers thinks
one reason is a married
man has a reason to
work and succeed.
“A man who has a given
education and is married
will earn 10-40 percent
more than someone with
the same education and
is single. And I think the
reason is that he works
harder to support his
family. He’s got an incentive. He’s got a child
at home or a wife who’s
pregnant.
The Forbes 400 has a
30 percent divorce rate
as opposed to the widely
publicized 50 percent divorce rate of the general
public.

Fine-free check-in at local libraries
Now’s the time to dust
off those shelves, clear out
that bookcase and return
those treasured overdue library materials to any ECRL
branch. For the first time
in its existence, ECRL has
declared from the present
through October 31, a finefree check-in period. Return
any of your overdue items
during this amnesty period
and we’ll forgive your fines
– no questions asked.
“We’d much rather spend
the money in our budget
on new titles, and not ON
replacing lost items. Plus,
sometimes the return of a
long overdue item is like
finding a treasure that’s been
lost,” says Vickie Sorn, Community Services Coordinator.
We are also offering this
fine-free check-in period as
a token of good faith to all
our users for all the inconveniences caused by our
computer problems the past
six weeks. Patrons, however,
will still be charged for any
damaged items and for any
lost items not returned. Plus,
remember that materials returned on time after the finefree check-in period are never
charged overdue fines.
Progress on our new automation system, Unicorn, is
progressing quickly. Patrons
may now check items in and
out, renew items and register
for new library cards. Within
the next few weeks patrons
should be able to resume
placing holds on items, plus
access the library catalog in
the library and from home.
Be assured that each of us
at ECRL is working diligently
to restore all the services
our patrons have come to
expect from their local ECRL
branch.

Memories of Sunset Bay Resort
As told to Philip Neese
by Elfrieda Fredericks.
This picturesque resort is
located on the east side of
Cedar Lake, approximately 3
miles west of Aitkin. In 1946,
this resort was just a wooded
lot with one building. Elfrieda and Charles Fredericks
bought the property from
Jack Healy. It was their dream
to start a resort on beautiful
Cedar Lake. The first year
they remodeled and added
three apartments and had two
cabins built.
Elfrieda explained, “Running a resort is more than
a full time job. You have to
work every day. The rooms
had to be cleaned; repairs
made, bills paid and guests
required a lot of attention. We
were happy that first year. We
were used to hard work and
we were living on a beautiful
lake and away from the hustle
and bustle of city life.
We had the best of all worlds
and then in 1947 my husband
died. I was devastated. Folks
said, “You better give up
this resort.” I just couldn’t
The lodge in 1946.
Norman of Aitkin explained,
“We would go to Elfriedas at
Christmas time and her tables
would be loaded with the
Edna and Elfrieda, 1937
and there were no better
options. I hung in there and
my sister Edna helped when
she could. Most of the guests
were wonderful. If I got a
bad one I made sure that
they never came back. Many
of our guests came back year
after year.” Darlene Johnson, Elfrieda’s
niece tells us why, “My mom
Edna was Elfrieda’s sister and
we got to come to the resort
quite often. In the summer,
Elfrieda would pick blueberries and make the greatest
pie and share it with us and
all the guests. It is no wonder
these people came back year
after year!”
Elfrieda supplemented her
income by baking. Gloria
most wonderful baked goods delicious! You just picked out
that she had for sale. She what you wanted.”
had decorated cookies, cakes Elfrieda retired from the reand breads and they were sort in 1978 after many years

Energy efficient heating
Heating is the largest energy expense, accounting for approximately half
of annual energy bills in
colder climates. Replacing
old heating equipment with
more efficient models will
save energy and money.
However, your home’s heating equipment is part of a
larger system. In order to
gain the benefits of a better
heating system, it is important to properly maintain
existing equipment, use a
programmable thermostat,
seal air leaks, test air ducts
for leaks, and maintain adequate ventilation.
Benefits:
• Energy Savings
If you have an older, inefficient furnace, upgrading
to high efficiency heating
equipment can cut your
costs by more than onethird. Using a programmable thermostat adds even
more savings. Your energy
costs will decrease 1 percent for every 1 degree you
lower the thermostat.
The additional savings
from installing smaller
heating equipment is significant. Properly sized
equipment runs more efficiently, lasting longer
and requiring less maintenance. Smaller equipment
requires that the home
“envelope” be tight, which
means adequate insulation, sealing air leaks, and
having efficient windows.
It is also critical to evaluate
and address any leaks or
defects in the duct work.
The savings comes from
multiple sources – efficiency pays!
• Comfortable Living
Your heating system is the
engine that keeps your home
comfortable. By addressing
air and duct leakage, your
heating system will actually
heat the rooms you live in
by fixing the problems that
allow expensive heated air
from escaping to the outdoors or into wall cavities
where it doesn’t get the job
done. You will enjoy living
in a more comfortable home
that costs less to heat every
month.

• Increased Home
Value
A study by The Appraisal Journal found that
the selling price of homes
increased by $20.73 for
every $1 decrease in energy bills. If your energy
bills average $1,500/yr. and
you saved 40 percent or
$600/yr., your home value
would increase by more
than $12,400. As energy
costs rise, this return on
investment grows.

of pollution prevention.
If just one in ten households bought ENERGY

would keep over 17 billion
pounds of pollution out of

Air Ducts
jor source of heating inefficiency. There are some
repairs you may be able
to do yourself, in places
where the ducts are accessible (attic, basement,
crawlspace). Otherwise,
you can hire a contractor
that specializes in duct
repair.
Ventilation
Making sure you have the
right ventilation levels is a
health and safety issue. Using mechanical ventilation
allows you to control the
ventilation in your home,
saving money and improving indoor air quality.
Quality heating contractors will evaluate your
home with an on-site inspection. Do not accept
over-the-phone estimates
because there is no way
for a contractor to properly
size and design your new
heating system without an
on-site inspection.

• Set your thermostat to 68
degrees, health permitting.
Lower the thermostat to 55
degrees at night or when you

• Clean your filter or replace a disposable filter

• Electric fireplaces provide
a clean safe alternative to
wood burning or gas fireplaces.
• During the winter, heat
rises toward the ceiling and
cool air settles on the floor.
During winter months make
sure your ceiling fan is rotated so that it produces an
upward airflow. Depending on the room size and

• Lower the thermostat

temperature settings. A setting of 115 degree Fahrenheit
provides comfortable hot

• Drain a quart of water
from your water tank every
three months to remove
sediment that impedes heat

type of water tank you have

Follow the manufacturer’s
advice.
• Take more showers than

gallons of hot water for a

shower.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac for Kids, Volume
2, gives step-by-step instructions on how to dry
and make an attractive
birdhouse from a gourd
(with adult supervision, of
course!). If you really want
to treat your feathered
friends, you can also hang
out a pinecone rolled in
honey or peanut butter.
Make a gourd
birdhouse
You will need:
• Round or curlicue-shape
gourd, completely dried
• 12-inch ruler
• Drill or sharp knife
• Round stick or wooden
dowel for perch, about
1/4-inch in diameter
• Weatherproof cord or
string
Choose a gourd that is
large enough for a bird to
live in but not too large to
hang from a tree branch.
To dry it, keep it in a
warm area with good air
circulation (this may take
several months). When the
seeds rattle and tapping it
produces a hollow sound,
it’s ready.
Using a drill or sharp
knife, make the entrance
hole at least one-third of
the way up from the bottom of the large part of
the gourd. Half an inch
below the entrance hole,
drill or cut a small hole the
diameter of your stick or
dowel perch and put the
perch into the hole.
Make two or three small
holes in the bottom of the
gourd for drainage and
two holes in the top for
the cord hanger. Run a
piece of cord though the
holes in the top. Leave
enough length to hang
and tie it.
In the spring, hang the
birdhouse on a branch
where you can see it. To
attract many birds, make
a few birdhouses and
place them on neighboring trees.

projects go to Almanac4kids.com.

Stop in early for best selection.
We have a good supply of Minnesota Apples, our own
squash, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels’ sprouts and more
and the best selection of pumpkins, gourds, straw,
corn shocks in the area.
Now making plans for spring landscape projects.
This year, when you hollow out that Halloween pumpkin, save the seeds to make some colorful jewelry.
Separate the seeds from the pulp and rinse them well in warm water. Spread the seeds out on paper towels to dry
completely. When the seeds are dry, color them with felt-tip markers, leaving some uncolored if you wish. Make holes
near the center of each seed,
using a big needle or an awl
and a block of wood. String
the seeds with a large-eyed
needle and fine elastic, using 125 to 130 seeds for a
necklace and far fewer for a
matching bracelet. (Measure
around your neck or wrist
before cutting the elastic, allowing a little extra to tie the
finishing knot.)

Highlights of October 2, 2007 Aitkin County Board
CONNIE PETTERSEN
The Commissioners passed
a resolution as submitted by
Aitkin County Engineer John
Welle declaring Oct. 10, 2007
as: “Put the brakes on fatalities Day®.” The resolution as
part of an effort to inform
everyone of the need to drive
safely to reduce highway accidents.
Welle told the Board that
traffic crashes are the leading cause of death nationwide with 42,000 fatalities.
In 2006, Minnesota had 494
fatal crashes, a decrease for
three consecutive years. However, one third of those fatalities were people under age
25. Other national statistics
quoted were: Two out of
three fatalities happen on
rural roads outside metro
areas, 300 children under
age five that were killed in
motor vehicle crashes in
1999 were unrestrained in
those vehicles; alcohol-related crashes account for 38
percent of traffic fatalities at
a cost to our society of $150
billion annually.
“Safer driving behaviors,
using seat belts, not drinking and driving, and obeying traffic laws dramatically
reduce traffic-related injuries and deaths,” said Welle,
along with improvements to
roadway safety and making
safer vehicles. Welle pointed

out that fatalities decrease if
people drive safer, slower, allowing more time to get from
one place to another, not
taking risks on the roadways,
and change any bad driving
habits.
Other Business
· Sheriff Scott Turner requested a commissioner start
attending the Emergency
Management Committee to be
informed of county emergency procedures. Commissioner
Wedel and County Administrator Patrick Wussow will
start attending emergency
management sessions.
· The Board accepted a
$10,000 grant from Blandin
Foundation for a feasibility
study to be done by Northspan Group for a plasma
energy park.
· Environmental Services
Director Terry Neff and the
Board discussed having internal staff review the Shoreland
Ordinance to clarify language
and eliminate confusion.
Neff will bring any new language back to the Board
for review. “The Shoreland
Alteration area is where we
have the most violations,” said
Neff. “Something needs to be
done.” Neff said his staff is
spending so much time after
the fact and sometimes damage is so severe, it cannot be
totally reclaimed for decades.

City of Ironton Council meeting
KATHY BRYAN
The City Council of Ironton
met on Wed. Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. at
the Ironton City Hall. Council
Members present: Gerry Altonen, Bill Thoms, Bill Wynn,
Dean French and Mayor David
Hicks. Also present was Rosemary Caddy, Clerk Treasurer
and Cheryl Buchite, Assistant
City Clerk.
Mayor Hicks called the meeting to order. Councilmember
Wynn corrected the Sept. 19
minutes to reflect he wasn’t
present for the meeting and
clarified that the $10,000 donation to the Ironton Fire Department would be relegated to
the City’s budget. Wynn also
confirmed another meeting
would take place concerning
resident Stromberg’s fence issue. A motion was made and
seconded to approve the minutes with corrections. Motion
was carried.
A motion was made to approve the bills. The motion
was seconded and carried.
A public hearing was held to
consider an application for a
conditional use permit by Terry
and Don Dean for a metal
recycling facility at 312 4RH
Street located in A B-1 General
Business District. The owner
of the garage neighboring the
recycling center asked whether
the recycling would be inside
the facility. After a brief discussion, a motion was made, seconded and carried to approve
the conditional use permit for
the recycling center.
A brief discussion ensued
concerning a letter from the
DNR to Rosemary Caddy, City
Clerk regarding purchase by
the DNR of the Jeff Olsen
property located within the
City of Ironton. A motion was
made, second and carried to
forward the letter to City At-
torney Langel for review before the next Council meeting
where it will be brought before
the Council again.
Caddy announced a grant
application submitted to the
Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation for funding
from the General Grants Fund
has been denied due to lack
of funding.
Resident, Dave Fournier,
appeared before the Council
to discuss alleged complaints
about his property from anonymous residents. Fournier
feels he is not in violation of
any city ordinances. Fournier
stated the Police Department
has made several visits to
his residence and he feels
harassed. It was noted that
there are four licensed drivers
living at the residence, and
Police Chief Coughlin has run
license checks on the vehicles.
Fournier also stated he has
made phone calls to Coughlin
and she has not returned his
calls. Mayor Hicks stated there
is no ordinance on the limit
of cars at a residence. Unless
a formal, signed complaint is
received by the Council, they
assured Fournier they would
not take action in this regard.
Mayor Hicks inquired about
the $100 water shut-off fee
assessed by the City when it’s
necessary to shut off water at
a residence. Hicks cited the
fees assessed by neighboring communities: Deerwood,
none, Crosby, $15 and Baxter,
$10. After a brief discussion
Hicks stated he would like to
see Ironton’s fees adjusted accordingly, i.e., a minimal fee of
$25 then an hourly rate if the
shut off becomes complicated
or involved. Caddy suggested
this issue be brought before
the city employees who turn
the water off and then the
15
feedback be presented to the
Council at the next meeting.
A letter from the City Attorney concerning Heglund’s
property Hidden JewelL was
discussed. Langel laid out the
zoning ordinances as they
relate to R-1 or R-1M districts versus residential zoning. Hicks suggested Langel’s
letter be reviewed before the
next Council Meeting and the
issue placed on the agenda for
further discussion.
There was brief discussion
concerning the Sanitary Sewer
meetings Councilmember Altonen currently attends. She
will continue to attend these
meetings and report issues to
the Council in the future.
A representative of the Ironton Fire Department presented
a check from the Relief Association in the amount of
$10,902.65, stating he would
like to see $1,902.65 relegated
to the City of Ironton with the
remaining $9,000 issued to the
Women’s Auxiliary. A decision
will be made concerning the
distribution of the check by the
next Council Meeting.
Mayor Hicks inquired about
the dumping of material at
the tennis courts, pipes, rocks,
and other trash. Hicks would
like it removed and the area
cleaned up.
Councilmember Wynn inquired about ongoing discussions with the Union concerning the City Employees’
contract. Caddy will speak
to the Union representative
this week to ensure this is
proceeding.
The meeting was then adjourned. The City of Ironton
City Council meets on the first
and third Wednesday of the
month at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
The meetings are open to the
public.
longer wait.
Attending the meeting was
a deputy sheriff to keep order.
His presence was due to the
previous meeting’s concern of
a threat.
Procedures of city council
members are “in question”
under the “Open Meeting Law”.
The Minnesota “Open Meeting
Law” generally requires that all
meetings of public bodies be
open to the public. Minnesota
courts have generally ruled
that a meeting is a gathering
(exchange of any information)
of a quorum of public officials
to discuss, decide or receive
information on matters over
which they have authority.
McGrath City Council confusion continues
SUBMITTED BY
DARLENE MACIEJ
The McGrath City Council meeting on Sept. 13 was
called and posted to be held
by Lynette Thomsen and Rose
Krebs. At the meeting Mayor
Larry Bullen and city council
member Richard Mottl were
not present.
The meeting was called to
order by Nancy Stemig. The
motion to address getting a

second, and voted on. The
motion passed and then discussion began. A meeting date
and agenda is to be posted
three days prior to meeting.
The resignation from Thomas
Murtha was dated Sept. 12. The
day before the meeting.
Discussion of new attorney

was one of the three applicants
in the early part of the year.
Lynette did have contact with
him. Motion to hire Troy was
made, second and carried by
the three council members.
Lynette will e-mail him to let
him know he was hired.
Due to the hiring of the new
attorney the Sept. 17 meeting
with engineers was cancelled.
The meeting with the engineers
was in regard to correcting the
sewer system problems and
a new mound. The residents
have been waiting so long to
have the problems corrected.
This cancellation means a

October 15 is tax filing deadline
Oct. 15 is tax filing deadline, last chance to e-file for
phone tax refund.
The Internal Revenue Service is reminding about
137,700 Minnesotans, who
in April requested more
time to complete a tax return, to avoid late filing
penalties by filing a 2006
tax return by Mon., Oct. 15,
and to pay special attention
to requesting the one-time
phone tax refund on that
return.
The IRS estimates that
837,000 Minnesota filers
missed out on at least $25
million because they neglected to request the phone
tax refund at all when they
filed this year. Those taxpayers now filing extended
returns still have a chance
to get the one-time refund
without doing extra paperwork.
The agency is also alerting Minnesotans that Oct.
15 is their last chance to
file for 2006 the easy way
– electronically. Electronic
filing is not available after
that date until the next tax
filing season.
People who had little or
no 2006 income and had
a phone during the refund
period (March 2003 through
July 2006) may be able to request the phone tax refund
using a short, easy form.
“If your 2006 income was
low, it’s likely that you can
request the phone tax refund using the quick and
easy Form 1040EZ-T,” said
IRS spokesperson Carrie
Resch.
The simple 1040 EZ-T is
exclusively for taxpayers
whose 2006 income was
below the filing requirement – often students and
senior citizens – but who
still qualify for the telephone tax refund. It takes
just minutes to complete.
Simply go to IRS.gov, click
on the e-file logo, and use
Free File to find a software
provider offering the 1040
EZ-T at no cost.
Taxpayers who already
filed but missed this refund
may have a cell phone, but
no landline, and mistakenly
thought they did not qualify
for the telephone tax refund. Many do. Qualifying
taxpayers in this situation
should use a paper Form
1040X to amend their return
and request the telephone
tax refund. The telephone
tax refund covers the threepercent tax paid on long-distance and bundled service
from March 2003 through
July 2006. It can add $30 to
$60 — or even more — onto
a taxpayer’s refund. So far
this year, nearly 2 million
Minnesota filers requested
telephone tax refunds.
For taxpayers who requested an extension of
time to file a 2006 return,
it’s due Oct. 15, 2007. Be
sure to check on the telephone tax refund. Nearly
every household qualifies.
Taxpayers in Presidential
Disaster Areas struck by
severe storms and flooding
on Aug. 18 in southeastern
Minnesota and southern
Wisconsin and in Grand
Forks County, North Dakota
on Aug. 26 have until Nov.
15 to file. Returns must be
postmarked or electronically filed by midnight on
the respective deadline day
to avoid penalties.
The disaster areas include
Dodge, Fillmore, Houston,
Olmstead, Steele, Wabasha
and Winona counties in
Minnesota; Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Grant, Green,
Iowa, Jefferson, Kenosha,
La Crosse, Racine, Richland,
Rock, Sauk and Vernon
counties in Wisconsin; and
Grand Forks County in
North Dakota.
IRS computer systems
identify taxpayers in Presidential Disaster Areas and
apply automatic filing and
payment relief. Taxpayers in
those counties do not need
to self-identify by writing
on their returns or using the
disaster designation in their
tax software. Affected taxpayers who reside or have
a business located outside
these counties need to call
the IRS disaster hotline at 1866-562-5227 to self-identify
for disaster relief.
Taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $52,000
or less generally qualify for
free electronic filing this
year through Free File at
IRS.gov. Electronic filing is
available through the Oct.
15 extension deadline.
For more information and
free electronic filing options, visit IRS.gov. Download Form 1040 EZ-T or the
Form 1040X at IRS.gov, or
order it from 1-800-TAXFORM. Still have questions?
