Not only is CBD becom-ing more popular, it’s creat-ing a lot of newopportunities. Mike Skjerven, owner ofSydney’s Natural Healthand Wellness at 1102 MainAvenue North, Thief RiverFalls, has taken it further

than most. Skjerven is grow-ing his own hemp plants. It has been a big learningcurve. Skjerven said he’smanaged to do everythingwrong first, which is onereason that start-up costshave been so high. Skjerven said he hadabout 1,000 plants on theroof of his building on MainStreet last summer, and ro-tated 400 or so from inside tooutside. He also grew anacre of hemp plants in RedLake County.

Regulations and testing The Minnesota Depart-ment of Agriculture testshemp to make sure theplants don’t have a THChigher than 0.3 percent.That includes Skjerven’splants. Whether they haveenough inspectors to re-spond to the growth in theindustry is a question manygrowers are asking. According to the Min-nesota Department of Agri-culture website, in the eventof a failed test, a grower candestroy the crop or request aresampling/retest. The cropmust be destroyed after twofailed tests. In 2019, 69 outof the 568 field samplesfailed (over 0.3% THC). Thatequates to a 12% failurerate. According to a story inJune and prepared by MPRNews, last year, Minnesotawent from fewer than 100growers to nearly 500 certi-fied hemp farmers. The growth seems to befueled by customer interest. Skjerven said a lot of hiscustomers are veterans orthe elderly. The hemp floweror bud is a popular productas are creams and oils. They

also sell bath bombs, bathsalts, coffee, massage oil,regular oil, gummies, facemasks and more. While they have heard alot of personal accounts of ithelping clients, Skjervensaid evidence of CBD’s posi-tive effects is growing in re-search as well. Personally,he said he’s a big fan of it. In addition to its medici-nal use, it can be used for alot of other things. Manypeople may have heard of itbeing used for rope andclothing, but it’s also beingused for insulation, paper,hemp concrete, particleboard, bioplastics, and bio-fuel. Skjerven said there’s evi-dence it’s even good for theenvironment. There are a lot of opportu-nities, but because of its rep-utation and fear, gettingpeople on board and willingto make the investment intime and money will takesome time. While they watch andwait, Skjerven said he’splanning on investing in anextraction process so that hecan have his own brand ofCBD oil and other products. Hemp in Minnesota is al-

lowed to be grown within thestate’s pilot programs for re-search purposes. The 2018Farm Bill expanded the def-inition of industrial hempfrom the 2014 Farm Bill toinclude seeds and all deriva-tives, extracts, cannabi-noids, isomers, acids, salts,and salts of isomers. Hempis now an agricultural com-modity overseen by theUnited States Departmentof Agriculture. States andtribes must submit a hempregulatory plan to the USDAfor approval, including li-censing growers and testinghemp fields for THC compli-ance. There are three maintypes of hemp varieties:CBD, Fiber and Grain. In addition to knowingthe law, Skjerven saidthere’s a steep learningcurve, but he’s making theeffort. In Minnesota, a license isrequired for growers andprocessors of raw hemp ma-terial or viable seed. The li-cense is obtained byapplying online at the Min-nesota Department of

Speaker tells area educatorsto ignite the fires withinby April ScheinohaReporter

The teachers became thestudents Monday, Jan. 20 atan annual regional staff de-velopment day at LincolnHigh School in Thief RiverFalls. About 600 area educa-tors had their proverbialfires ignited while attendingthe event hosted by North-west Service Cooperative. The event featured break-out sessions as well as akeynote speech by Dr. VernaCornelia Price. Her talk wasmade possible with financialassistance from Prairie Pub-lic Broadcasting. Price brought her high-oc-tane presentation, “Ignitethe Fire in You,” to theevent. She is the chief exec-utive officer of The Power of

People Consulting GroupLLC. “Your fire connects toall of us,” Price told atten-dees. Sometimes that fire isn’tburning as brightly as it hasin the past or it has been ex-t i n gu i s h ed .Sometimes itis due to thed e m a n d splaced onteachers today. Te a c h e r sare now beingtold to fix theirstudents. “Weno longer sayeducate them,”Price said. Shenoted that teachers areforced to cover the wholespectrum of their students’lives, oftentimes while work-ing with students who have

been raised with no bound-aries. “You’re like the one-stopshop for your children,” saidPrice, who noted teachersare, as a result, suffering interms of their own health

and emo-tional well-being.

Studentsand fellowstaff mem-bers need ed-ucators to behealthy. “Ineed youhealthy,” saidPrice. “Getyour fire

back.” To that end, Price encour-aged the educators to an-swer five questions abouttheir professional and per-

sonal lives: 1. What gives you life orspirit? 2. What inspires you? 3. What fills you with pas-sion? 4. What lights you up? 5. What fills you with ex-citement and enthusiasm? The educators were thenencouraged to share witheach other how they an-swered those questions. To further ignite theirpassion, Price encouragededucators to ask themselvesquestions every day abouthow that particular daywent. She wanted them toask themselves what hap-pened that day, why it hap-pened, what they did, whythey reacted a particular

Does he live in his ward?Questions ariseabout where TRFCouncil rep livesby April ScheinohaReporter

A Thief River Falls CityCouncil member is respond-ing after it was asked pub-licly whether he still lives inhis ward. Council member Don Sol-lom, who represents Ward 2,was given the opportunity torespond to the question atthe council meeting Tuesday,Jan. 21. The question hadbeen asked of Mayor BrianHolmer on “Open Line” onThief River Falls Radio. Sollom said he still livesin Ward 2. He noted that helives four nights a week inWard 2 and goes on a “vaca-tion” three nights a week ata new property he and afriend purchased. City Attorney DelraySparby said Sollom may stillretain his council seat aslong as he spends the major-ity of his time at the Ward 2property. If Sollom perma-nently vacates the propertyand moves to a property out-side of his ward, his positionwill automatically terminateand will be vacated by law. In an interview with theNorthern Watch on Wednes-day, Sparby said Sollom hasindicated that he is keepinga journal about where he isstaying each night. Sollomhas said he spends the ma-jority of his time at an apart-ment over Diamonds &Designs. That location is inSollom’s ward. The Northern Watch haslearned Sollom’s new prop-erty is located along FernRoad. It is located in Ward 5,which is currently repre-sented by council memberRachel Prudhomme. Sol-lom’s Ward 2 seat is up forelection this fall whereasPrudhomme’s Ward 5 seatisn’t up for election until2022.

Funding in sight forLake Bronson Dam? Hallock - Gov. Tim Walzhas recommended $20 mil-lion toward dam safety re-pair, reconstruction andremoval for the state’s 2020budget. The top of the Min-nesota Department of Nat-ural Resources’ priority listfor this funding is the damat Lake Bronson StatePark. The governor’s budgetwas released late last weekwith funding recommenda-tions for hundreds of proj-ects across the state. Thedam project would use gen-eral obligation bonds.While those who havefought to thoroughly informthe governor and legisla-tors of the significance ofreplacing the dam at LakeBronson State Park, the de-cision now lies with theMinnesota Legislature. -Kittson County Enterprise,Jan. 22, 2020, by AnnaJauhola

Some importantdates

Deadlines are something I livewith on a day-to-day, and sometimeshour-by-hour basis. That’s not alwayssomething everyone else lives by, andnot something everyone can tolerate.There are a couple of upcoming eventsthat people in northwestern Min-nesota should be aware of and can’t beput off until tomorrow. One is the white tail deer manage-ment workshop. The first workshopwill be from 6 to 9 p.m. on Jan. 30, atthe Quality Inn in Thief River Falls. Asecond workshop will be held duringthe same time and at the same loca-tion but on Feb. 26. Anyone may at-tend these workshops. The goal-setting process takesabout four years to complete, so if youwant a say in what these goals will be,don’t miss these meetings. If you do,you may have to wait for years toshare your input, and right now, the

DNR wants your feedback. These firstmeetings are for deer population areasin northwestern Minnesota. The second important deadline isfor ag producers, and the date isMarch 16. March 16 is the deadline forproducers to make the one-time unani-mous election decision on whether toenroll crop acreage bases in the Agri-culture Risk Coverage or Price LossCoverage programs. Given the pastyear, I would think that these pro-grams would be important. March 16is also the deadline for the 2019 cropyear. If a program election is not madeby the deadline, the farm will auto-matically be defaulted to the previouselection(s) on the farm under the 2014Farm Bill for the 2019 and 2020 cropyear and would not be eligible for anypotential payments earned for 2019. March 16 is an important date. Ihope I have the pertinent details cor-rect as I am not an ag producer. Readthe story below and check with yourlocal FSA office for more specific de-tails.

Little surprises are nice,the joy of the gesture seemsgreater when the gesture issomething that I can reallyfocus on and slowly absorb. Irecently had such an experi-ence. I see Dana Klos on occa-sion at the local radio sta-tion. He’s in a few times amonth and talks about theoutdoors and I enjoy his in-terviews. He recentlybrought a handful of oldmagazines for me to read.The magazines are called,“Water, Woods and Wildlife(WWW) - the NorthwoodsWildlife Journal.” The firstthing I noticed was value, 95cents an issue. The issues Ihave read so far are from1977-78 and a yearly sub-scription was only $7. Mag-azines today are so full ofglossy photo pages that theybarely light in a burn barrel.They also have large scriptand the stories are short, no

more than a few minutes ofreading at most. The maga-zines Klos brought me havereal stories that requirefocus and an investment oftime. I don’t mind the in-vestment of time because Ilike the return in knowl-edge. I typically enjoy editorialcomments in any magazine.They typically take the sub-ject of any magazine andpersonalize it through theirown eyes. The editor andpublisher of WWW maga-zine was Dick Lockhart. Hisoffice manager was ElaineLockhart. Elaine and Dickwere based out of Williams.In one of his editorials, hewrote of moving to their“home in the country” inJanuary 1977 and startingoff with only cold water aftera recent graduation to a per-manent home from a tent.He spoke of his gratitude forthe peace enjoyed from alack of television, and refersto writing only by “punchingkeys” on what must havebeen a manual typewriter. There are contributors tothe magazine, too. I amamazed at the amount ofwork it must have been togather these stories, editthem and publish a 50-pagemagazine without the bene-

fits of email or computers.One of these contributorswas Marv Lundin, formereditor of the Thief RiverFalls Times who passedaway about a year ago. Al-though his story is abouthunting ruffed grouse, itmentions his blackLabrador, Charcoal, severaltimes. There’s even a silhou-ette of his dog in the back-ground of the page. Lundintalks about hunting withfriends in the later part ofthe season at the end of De-cember. In one paragraph,Lundin wrote in a good-na-tured way about a jammedgun and how he only wasable to make one shot oneight birds. He shrugs it offand spends much of thestory expertly describing thehunter’s actions and theirsurroundings. I likeLundin’s writing. In one sen-tence, he wrote, “like a goodnovel, which must be rightcover to cover to be fully ap-preciated, the hunting sea-son must be enjoyed frombeginning to end to fullysavor what it has to offer.”Like much of what I found inthis magazine, that’s thekind of writing worth read-ing.

Rural Reflections …Reflecting on Water, Woods and Wildlife

The Pennington, RedLake, and Marshall CountyFarm Service Agency (FSA)offices remind area produc-ers that March 16, 2020, isthe deadline for producers tomake the one-time unani-mous election decision onwhether to enroll cropacreage bases in the Agricul-ture Risk Coverage (ARC) orPrice Loss Coverage (PLC)programs. Producers are also re-minded that March 16, 2020is the deadline to enrollfarm(s) in the ARC/PLC pro-gram for the 2019 crop year. If a program election isnot made by the deadline,the farm will automaticallybe defaulted to the previouselection(s) on the farm underthe 2014 Farm Bill for the2019 and 2020 crop yearsand would not be eligible forany potential paymentsearned for 2019. Starting with the 2021crop year, producers canmake annual elections onthe farm for the 2021, 2022,and 2023 crop years. To better serve producers,the ARC/PLC Program elec-tion process is being con-ducted by appointment. If producers are close tomaking a decision on whichprogram to elect, they areencouraged to make theirelection now because theycan always change theirmind up until the March 16deadline. The decision to choosewhich program(s) to elect is

made by all producers on thefarm who have an interest ina commodity on the farm. Ifthe farm is cash rented, thenthe decision can be made bythe operator. If it is sharerent, then the operator, andany producer(s) who have ashare in a crop(s) on thefarm, would have to make aunanimous decision on pro-gram(s) election and sign theapplicable forms by theMarch 16 deadline. The ARC-County (ARC-CO) program provides rev-enue loss coverage at thecounty level. ARC-CO pay-ments are issued when theactual county crop revenuefor a covered commodity isless than the ARC-CO guar-antee for the covered com-modity. The ARC-CO guaranteeequals 86 percent of the pre-vious five-year nationalMarket Year Average price,excluding the years with thehighest and lowest price,multiplied by the five-yearaverage county yield, ex-cluding the years with thehighest and lowest yields. The PLC program pay-ments are issued when theeffective price, the higher ofthe MYA or national loanrate for the covered com-modity, is less than the ref-erence price for theapplicable covered commod-ity. ARC-CO and PLC pay-ments are not dependent onthe crops planted or consid-ered planted on the farm for

the current year but are de-termined by the applicablebases on the farm. ARC-Individual Coverage(ARC-IC) program providesrevenue loss coverage at thefarm level. ARC-IC revenueloss payments are madewhen the current year rev-enue for the ARC-IC farmfor all covered commoditiesplanted on the ARC-IC farmfalls below 86 percent of theARC-IC farm benchmarkrevenue. Prevented plant acreageis not included in ARC-ICcurrent year revenue unless100 percent of the coveredcommodities on the ARC-ICfarm were approved for pre-vented planting by FSA. AnARC-IC farm includes allfarms within a state that theapplicable producer electedARC-IC coverage. The decision to elect ARC-CO or PLC is made on acommodity-by commoditybasis on the applicable farm.If ARC-IC is elected, then allcovered commodities on thefarm are enrolled in ARC-IC. Producers with questionsabout the ARC/PLC Pro-gram Election process orwho wish to schedule an ap-pointment should contactthe Pennington County FSAOffice at 681-1612 ext. 2, theRed Lake County FSA Officeat 253-2181 ext. 2, the Mar-shall County FSA Office at745-4251 ext. or contacttheir local FSA County Of-fice

About 600 area educators attended the annual regional staff development day hosted byNorthwest Service Cooperative on Monday, Jan. 20. During the keynote address, attendeeswere encouraged to share with one another their answers to five questions about their pro-fessional and personal lives.

Educators told to ignitethe fires within/Continued(Continued from Page 1)way and what happens next. “As an educator, yourpractice must improve,” saidPrice, who noted that theirpractice won’t improve un-less they also improve. Price told the educatorsthat they have the power tochange. “To ignite your fire,you have to understand yourpersonal power to do so,” shesaid. Price added that every-one wakes up powerful everyday to make decisions abouttheir lives and create any

changes they want to see. The fastest way to losethat fire inside is to giveaway power, said Price, whonoted that educators need totake back their power. How-ever, she joked that theyshouldn’t take back theirpower to the point of beingfired from their jobs. Price told attendees thatno one has more power thanthey do. To drive home herpoint, she had the educatorsstand up and declare, “I willstop giving away my power.”

TRF Council rep: Wheredoes he live/Continued(Continued from Page 1) During the council meet-ing, Sollom invited people totake his place in Ward 2. Henoted the seat covers down-town Thief River Falls aswell as nearby residential

areas. “We’ve got a lot of nicepeople. They do not com-plain a lot.” He encouragedpeople to contact him if theyare interested. His contactinformation is on the city’swebsite (www.citytrf.net).

(Continued from Page 1)Agriculture website. All ap-plicants must pass a crimi-nal history backgroundcheck. All fields are in-spected and sampled forTHC compliance. In spite of these regula-tions, there still are concernsamong law enforcement andgrowers that they couldcome into conflict becauseCBD looks and smells likemarijuana. Pennington County Sher-iff Ray Kuznia noted thatwhen transporting plants, orproducts, licensed growersmust carry their licenseswith them as well. Wendy Dahl, a certifiednatural health practitioner,and owner of Turning Point,which is located across fromHugo’s in downtown ThiefRiver Falls, said she believesthe CBD market and pro-duction are going to explode. As an example, she said aclient who is a farmer grew20 acres of hemp last year,but is now seriously consid-ering expanding the opera-tion to 60 to 100 acres.

Dahl does foresee moreregulations - regulations, inparticular, that make surethe products are safe andare what they say they are.She noted that because itseems to be cutting into BigPharma’s market, she be-lieves they will also do whatthey can to challenge it too. There are a lot of opportu-nities out there. Dahl saidone of the companies sheworks with is Life Flower, asmall company located inOrange County, Calif. Shesaid they seem content notto be a big company. “Youdon’t have to make millions,but the potential to do so isthere.” Dahl said she has beentold by many of her clientsthat CBD has helped themwith various ailments. Shedoes two things that she be-lieves helps: she discusseswith them what they are re-ally looking for, and tellsthem to try different prod-ucts and brands until theyfind what helps. She also tells them ithelps to believe it will help.

Dahl agreed there are thosewho believe CBD is “snakeoil,” but she noted that pa-tients taking prescribedmedicine also have to be-lieve the medicine will helpthem for it to help them. Tothose who believe it won’thelp them, she says, don’twaste your money. As a natural health prac-titioner and certified holisticnutrition practitioner, Dahlalso helps her clients com-bine CBD with essential oils.She said the resulting effecton their ailments seems tobe greater when they do. But Dahl said peoplecome to her looking help formany things, including anx-iety, chronic pain, help withsleeping, and even help get-ting rid of scars, stretchmarks and wrinkles. Sheeven has CBD for dogs, andprovides it to her own dogs. Apparently there’s agreat deal of interest in CBDin this rural community. Asa result, all indications arethat the market will con-tinue to grow.

The DNR is hosting a pairof workshops to gather inputon deer management and re-ceive feedback on futuredeer population trends inthe Northwest Parkland-Prairie goal block (DPAs201, 203, 208, 209, 256, 257,260, 261, 263, 264, 267 and268). The first workshop will beheld Thursday, Jan. 30, from6 to 9 p.m., in Thief RiverFalls at the Quality Inn,1060 Hwy 32 S. At the Jan. 30 workshop,participants will work insmall groups to identify keyissues of interest and priori-ties to guide management ofthe deer population. The second workshop willbe held Wednesday, Feb. 26– same location and time.Participants will discuss so-

lutions to the issues broughtforward in the first work-shop and create recommen-dations for the deerpopulations in those blocks. Anyone may attend theseworkshops, regardless of af-filiation or knowledge of theprocess. Background infor-mation will be provided. At-tendees are highlyencouraged to RSVP on theDNR goal-setting webpage. The workshops replacethe citizen advisory commit-tees and public meetingsthat were used during thelast round of deer goal set-ting in 2017. The DNR sets deer popu-lation goals – how much ofan increase or decrease isdesired in a deer populationin a particular deer permitarea – as part of managing

the state’s wild deer herd.Deer population goals willbe updated on a staggeredbasis in 14 regional goal-set-ting blocks that are made ofmultiple deer permit areas.The population goals estab-lished in this process willprovide direction for man-agement over 10 years, witha midpoint review every fiveyears. The goal-setting processwill take four years to com-plete statewide, with severalgeographic blocks addressedeach year. This year focuseson blocks in the northwest-ern and western parts of thestate.

SCOREBOARD

Thief River Falls sufferedits second one-goal loss toEast Grand Forks this sea-son, falling to their Section8A rivals 4-3 Tuesday nightat the Ralph EngelstadArena. The Prowlers dominatedthe stat sheet but weren’t asefficient as the Green Wave,who converted their onlypower play opportunity intoa goal and saw four of their21 shots on goal find the net. Thief River Falls domi-nated possession of the puckearly in the first period andscored first on an unassistedgoal by Daniella Niebuhrwith 13:02 left to play in thefirst period. Thief River Falls contin-ued to dominate possession,outshooting East GrandForks 12-5 in the first, but ahooking penalty on ThiefRiver Falls forward MadyAnderson gave East GrandForks new life. The GreenWave took advantage of theextra skater, with Kate John-son scoring a power play goalwith 1:06 left in the first. Shots were fairly even inthe second period as bothteams picked up the pace.Both teams came up emptyfor the first 12 minutes of theperiod. That changed with4:25 left in the second whenEast Grand Forks defense-man CJ Mack scored anunassisted goal to put theGreen Wave in front 2-1. A little over a minutelater, East Grand Forks de-fenseman Linzy Pesch waswhistled for hooking to setthe Prowlers up with theirfirst power play opportunityof the contest. Thirty-six seconds into thepower play, Thief River Fallssenior Khloe Lund scored herteam-leading 17th goal of theseason to knot the game at 2-2. Shelby Breiland recordedher team-leading 13th assiston the play. It took East Grand Forksjust 21 seconds to respond, asKendra Emery followed herown shot on goal with a re-bound shot that found thenet to make it 3-2 in favorthe Green Wave. An unassisted goal by

Breiland with 13:09 left toplay tied the game 3-3. The Prowlers out-shot theGreen Wave 15-6 in the thirdperiod but didn’t score againafter Breiland’s game-tyinggoal. East Grand Forks re-gained the lead on Johnson’ssecond goal of the contestwith exactly two minutes leftto play in regulation.

Prowlers dominateLakers for second win

Girls basketball

The Thief River Falls girlsbasketball team was longoverdue for its second win ofthe 2019-20 season. Since itsdominating win over War-road on Dec. 12, Thief RiverFalls has come close to winnumber two on several occas-sions, with the most notablebeing one-point losses toBadger/Greenbush-MiddleRiver and Fosston, a two-point overtime loss at Dil-worth-Glyndon-Felton, and aseven-point loss at DetroitLakes in which the teamstraded scores throughout thefirst half, before the Lakerstook control. Tuesday night in ThiefRiver Falls, the Prowlers gottheir second crack at theLakers and they took full ad-

vantage with an impressive50-28 win. “Our defense was spot on,”said Thief River Falls HeadCoach Laura Fay. “It was thebest defense we have playedall year and it paid off.” Thief River Falls seniorBrea Prickett led all scorerswith 19 points and she addedseven rebounds and three as-sists. Fellow senior AniDalager scored 10 points,grabbed five rebounds andshe also dished out three as-sists. Detroit Lakes’ top scorerwas Sarah Tangen, who fin-ished with 10 points. Ar-guably the Lakers’ topplayer, sophomore AlexBettcher scored 26 points inthe teams’ first meeting. She

was a non-factor in thegame. “Communication washuge and the girls worked to-gether very well and theyvalued the ball,” Fay said.“We were able to hold AlexBettcher to one point.”

safe and functioning metal-smithing studio and create anew body of work to buildupon her skills and portfolio.Beck’s new body of work isinspired by The Fournetbuilding in downtownCrookston. Beck had the op-portunity to tour the Four-net building in fall 2017through Leadership Crook-ston. “I knew that would sparkmy new body of work. I lovedall the old peeling wallpaperand the pastel colorsthroughout the building. Itwas so unique and ornateand I couldn't wait to getstarted on some ideas,” Becksaid. Beck did not have a safeor working studio until shewas able to rent one indowntown Crookston.Through the grant, Beckwas able to get equipment tomake sure she had a studiowith proper ventilation, soshe could ensure she wasmaking her work safely. Beck said, “My currentwork is a reflection of my in-teractions with surfaces insurrounding environments.I am interested in how soci-ety translates surfaces, pat-terns and colors intointimate details and howthey mirror identities. Muchlike the exterior of a wall, weseek nonverbal communica-tion through what we put onour bodies. This investiga-tion has led me to examinethe preciousness of surfaces,and explore how they com-municate to the viewer orwearer through their fa-cade.”
