Jackie Wagner has lived in Palisade for over 35 years. She raised her four children there and three of her four grown children are still living in the area. She worked as a nurse in Aitkin and still works at the hospital.
Even though she loves Palisade and would like it to thrive, she can’t help but speak out against plasma arc technology, which she said emits harmful toxins into the environment.
Plasma arc gasification technology uses a super-hot torch to heat garbage and break it down. It is converted into a gas or product includ-ing a rock-like slag or a woolly insulation product.
A group called Palisade PAGE is attempting to site such a plant in Palisade. They would produce an ethanol fuel, along with a paving product, animal feed and heat and electricity. The proposed
plant would process about 300 tons per day of municipal solid waste and used tires.
“I’ve worked in the health field for 39 years and I’m looking at the health issues,” said Wagner. “I’ve done my own research, not just on-line, but calling people all over the country.”
She said that these plants often fail, that their equip-ment breaks down, but, most of all, the extremely small particulates that come from the smokestack can contami-
nate farm fields and gardens and can hurt human beings and animals. The toxins are highly concentrated in these fine particulates, she says.
“It’s all about the money. There is so much green energy stimulus money that everyone is trying to get these types of plants because taxpayers would pay half the cost,” she noted.
She said the extremely fine particulates get into parts of the body that larger particu-lates from incinerators don’t
get into, and, over time, have bad health effects.
Wagner acknowledges that Aitkin County needs more jobs and that she wishes she had the answer to bring more economic development here. But she doesn’t think that plasma arc technology is the right solution for jobs in the area.
“Most of these jobs require skills that local people won’t have,” she observed. She said most of the highest-paying jobs would be filled from
people outside of the area.“I love it here -- I absolutely
love it here -- but I feel the need to speak out against this plant. The smokestack will emit dioxins. Many leaders in the medical field have come out against it. I want to bring in experts that will tell that side of the story. I feel helpless.”
For people wanting more information Wagner suggest logging onto the websites biomess.net and energyjus-tice.net/map.

John William Edwards was arrested on the afternoon of July 2, for alledgedly robbing the Deerwood Bank in Deer-wood on June 26.
Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl reported that Ed-wards, 32, Moorhead, was located at his residence in Moorhead in the afternoon
of July 2. After a short foot pursuit, Edwards was arrested and detained at the Clay County Jail.
Law enforcement officers from the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Department, Moor-head Police Department and special agents with the Bureau of Criminal Appre-
hension located and arrested Edwards.
On June 26, the Deer-wood Bank in Deerwood was robbed by a lone male who handed a teller a note demanding money. The teller complied with the demands and the suspect left with
an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect did not display a weapon or threaten to use a weapon and calmly left the bank.
Edwards has a 1998 federal conviction in Wyoming for bank robbery, according to the sheriff’s department.

Connie Pettersen, Aitkin, a writer for the NewsHopper,hasn’t had a byline in thepaper since February. At thattime, she was writing a two-part series about the origin ofMacDonald’s House in Min-neapolis but before finishingthe entire story, she was takenby ambulance to St. Mary’sHospital in Duluth whereshe was given a diagnosis of
Guillian Barre Syndrome(GBS) and admitted on Feb.20.
GBS is a potent ia l lydeadly, acute inflammatorydemyelinating polyneuropa-thy (AIDP), which is an au-toimmune disorder affectingthe peripheral nervous systemand causes swelling, painand paralysis. It is sometimescalled “French Polio.”
Pettersen was paralyzedfrom the neck down, endingup in ICU for two weeks witha trach and on a ventilator.On Mar. 22, she was trans-ferred to Miller-Dwan Rehaband spent much of her timerehabilitating with physical,occupational, speech, andother therapies until mid Junewhen she was discharged.Pettersen went home withscheduled outpatient therapy
and exercises to do at hometo help finish her recoveryprocess.
“It’s good to be home,” saidPettersen. “I want to thank thecommunity for their manycards, letters of support andprayers for my recovery, manyof them from NewsHopperreaders.” She was told by herdoctor that she was the worsecase of GBS — with the mostdisabling and fastest onset ofsymptoms — of anyone he’dseen in 28 years of practice.“Then my doctor added that‘I was also the fastest re-covering of anyone he hadseen in all of his 28 years ofpractice!’ I told him I hadno doubt that was becauseprayer had a LOT to do withmy quicker recovery!” Pet-
tersen added that people shedidn’t even know wrote andtold her they were praying forher and a lot of prayer chainswere going on during herhospitalization times.
“Right now,” Pettersen said,“I can’t beat my 86 year-oldmom walking down the hallat her assisted living facilityat Aicota, but I’m walking, sothat’s better than a six weeksago!”

Sean Harrington is a typical high school student from Ar-lington, Mass.; yet, he seems to be turning political correctness on its head.
Harrington, a senior this fall, wants to bring back what Massachusetts educators deem controversial – the Pledge of Allegiance.
Arlington is the birth place of Samuel Wilson – the central figure to the mythic Uncle Sam. Artist James Montgomery Flagg popularized the flag-adorned Uncle Sam in his WWI poster, “What Are You Doing for Pre-paredness?” that appeared in the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie’s Weekly.
Troubled with the hypocrisy of the state’s tourism promo-tion highlighting the Founding Fathers and historic symbols of freedom, while his school has made a point to excise such ideas– Harrington asked the principal of Arlington High School whether the Pledge could be restored. The princi-pal said the effort needed to be
17-year-old leads charge to restore pledgestudent-driven.
So, with the help of his fellow students, Harrington gathered nearly 700 signatures and the en-dorsements of Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and John McCain, R-Ariz.
But, that apparently wasn’t enough.
School committee member Leba Heigham told the Arling-ton Patch, “Patriotism is a very personal thing for all of us, but I do not think it is in the school committee’s best interest to man-date that any of our employees recite the Pledge.”
Superintendent of Schools Kathleen Bodie told FOX News Radio that the Pledge has not been recited in high schools for nearly a decade. She added, “I don’t know if it’s all about ‘un-der God’ but that is certainly an aspect of it.”
“I don’t know if it’s all about ‘under God,’” she added, “but that is certainly an aspect of it.”
With schools officials digging in their heels, Harrington is considering his next steps.
“I can continue with my petition and make the school concede – and I think, with the public’s help, I could do that,” he explained. “How-ever, there’s also legal action. I’m just not sure if that’s the right thing to do at this time. What I am sure of is this: I will follow the words of Teddy Roosevelt, ‘If I have to choose the path between peace and righteousness, I choose righ-teousness.’”
He’s not surprised at the media’s growing attention to his efforts.
“I believe that I have God’s help – how else would this have become a national is-sue? I believe that it is Divine intervention,” he said. “As John Brown the abolitionist said ‘I am an instrument in God’s hand.’”

It’s the time of year when Minnesotans have many op-portunities to have contact with animals in public set-tings, such as petting zoos, fairs and farm tours. These contacts provide a tremen-dous learning opportunity about animals and animal husbandry. Be aware of the risks involved and plan ahead.
Groups at high-risk for serious infection include children less than five years of age, the elderly, preg-nant women, and those with weakened immune systems. The behaviors and actions of people are significantly related to the risk of infection. Among these are inadequate hand washing, large numbers of children among attendees, a lack of close supervision of children, and hand-to-mouth activities (e.g. use of pacifiers, bottles, sippy cups, thumb sucking, eating) in the animal area.
The primary way trans-mission occurs is the fecal-oral route. Since animal fur, hair, skin, and saliva can become contaminated with fecal germs, transmission may occur when people pet, touch, or are licked by
animals. Exposure can also occur through contact with an animal’s living area, its bedding, fence rails, or ob-jects such as food and water dishes.
Recommendations for Ani-mal Contact:
Leave food and beverages outside the animal areas.
Leave toys, blankets, paci-fiers, baby bottles and sippy cups in a designated area or the car.
For all children animal contact should be carefully
supervised to discourage hand-to-mouth contact and to insure hand washing.
If feeding animals is per-mitted, only food sold by the venue for that purpose should be allowed. Food sold should not be provided in containers that can be eaten by people such as ice cream cones.
Thoroughly wash hands when leaving the animal area.

Animal contact in public settings: facts you need to know
Cut the top off a 2-liter plas-tic pop bottle. Make the cut just at the top of the straight sides. Invert the cut off top into the bottom portion and staple it into place. Pour a sweet smelling liquid into the funnel top to get about two inches of liquid in the bottom of your trap. Carbonated pop seems to work well but try something different in each one to determine what your wasps prefer.
Place your traps in a wide circle 30 to 50 feet away from the area you want to be “wasp free”. Try to place some of your traps in their flight path. If you get a few with a fly swatter, put the bodies in the top of the trap. The dead ones give off an alarm scent that will attract others.
Empty your traps as needed
and refill with your bait. You can dump the carcasses into the compost pile.
If you are stung by a wasp here is some information you may need.
Carefully scrape the stinger out with your fingernail or a credit card. Pulling on the stinger will only inject more venom.
The number one gardeners friend for insect bites is pure Neem oil! Just rub a small amount of Neem on the area as often as needed: it draws out the venom, pain and swelling. Some of us react very badly to wasp and bee bites with extreme swelling and pain that lasts for days. Neem has been a miracle. After applying it all symp-toms are usually gone within hours!
Other aids are mixing straight apple cider vinegar with baking soda to make a paste and applying to the bitten area.
Use an ointment containing the herb comfrey as a sooth-ing salve.
Wasp venom is on the al-kaline side. To counteract the venom rub some onion juice or vinegar on the bite. Split the leaf of a leek and apply the inside surface to your skin.
Yellow-jackets are attracted to food and garbage contain-ers, and anyone nearby may experience an unpredict-able attack by an individual insect.
Yellow-jacket nests are lo-cated in crevasses or burrows, and someone disturbing a nest is likely to be attacked by groups of 10 insects or more.

Vivacious like a little wren,the Common Yellowthroatdarts here and there, utteringa steady “witchity, witchity,whitchity”, letting the worldknow that you are in his terri-tory.They are one of the mostabundant of all North Ameri-can warblers and one of thesmallest, being between fourand one-half and five andone-half inches long. Themale is olive-green above,white on his belly and paleyellow on his chin, throat,
breast, and under tail. He hasorange-red legs, a dark billand black eyes. His most no-ticeable characteristic is hisblack facial mask, borderedabove and behind by a whiteband. That feature has givensuch names as “the MaskedBandit”, the “Bandit Bird”and “Black-masked GroundWarbler.” The female is simi-lar to the male in color butlacks the male’s black mask,has a brownish wash on hersides and has narrow whit-ish eye ring. Immature birds
are duller and browner thanthe female overall and theyoften hold their tail cockedlike a wren. Their scientificname is “geothlypis trichas”which means “a thrush of theground.”
The CommonYellowthroatnests throughout Minnesota,returning from their winter-ing grounds in Mexico andCentralAmerica in early May.Their fall migration beginsin August and goes throughSeptember. They spend mostof their time near the groundin willow thickets. They likedamp brushy places, grassalong roads and swamps withcattails and sedges. They area skulker sometimes likenedto a feather mouse. The nestis made by the female andis considered very large forsuch a dainty little bird. Herlarge, bulky nest is made ofgrass, reeds and dead leaves,formed on the ground or ona tussock. She lines the nestwith plant fibers and animalhair. It is well concealedand it takes her a little overa week to complete her newhome. The female lays fourcream colored eggs, speckledbrown. Incubation is by thefemale, the eggs hatchingout in about 12 days. Any
intruder is greeted by themale, venting his displeasurewith vigorous protests ofharsh, raspy notes, seeminglycalled from every direction.The female is also a fearless,devoted mother, guarding hernest against all danger. Theyoung leave the nest at onlyeight days of age. Bandedbirds have been known tolive up to seven years.
From the very earliest daysof our country, they wereconsidered as one of themost beneficial little birds foragriculture. This was mainlybecause they eat a much big-ger variety of foods than otherwarbler species.They are veryfond of cankerworms foundin orchards, tent caterpillars,gypsy moths, grasshoppers,dragonflies, ants, crickets,spiders, flies, gnats, mosqui-toes, larvae and beetles.
It is the best representedbreeding warbler and prob-ably one of the most widelydistributed breeding speciesin Minnesota. Though theyseem to be calling from ev-erywhere, because of theirsecretive habits, you mayhave to look for while, but it’sworth the search. They are ahandsome little sprite and aneye catcher.

Hunters have until Fri.,July 16, to apply for oneof 11 elk licenses offeredthis year by the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural Re-sources (DNR).
Licenses for the 2010hunts will be available inthe traditional Grygla areaand central Kittson County,which is a consolidation ofthe north and south Kittsonzones from last year. Mapsof the two hunt zones canbe found at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/elk.
“Annual elk hunts helpmanage population size andprovide a unique huntingexperience for Minnesotahunters,” said Lou Cornicel-li, DNR big game programcoordinator.
Seven licenses (two ei-ther-sex and five antlerless)will be offered in the Gryglaarea. Four licenses (one ei-ther-sex and three antlerless)will be offered in KittsonCounty.
“With the completion ofour elk management plan,we’re allocating elk licensesso that we can manage thetwo populations at estab-lished levels,” Cornicellisaid.
A total of three licenses(two in Grygla and one inKittson County) may be is-sued to qualified landownersin their elk zone in a prefer-ential drawing. Unsuccessfullandowner applications willthen be added to the generaldrawing, from which theremaining applicants will beselected. Alternates will beselected in case successfulparties opt not to purchasea permit.
In total, there will betwo seasons in each zone,divided as follows:
• Sept. 18-26, two either-sex in Grygla, one either-sexand one antlerless license inKittson County.
• Dec. 4-12, five antler-less licenses in Grygla andtwo antlerless licenses inKittson County.
Applications may bemade at any DNR licenseagent or the DNR LicenseCenter, 500 Lafayette Road,St. Paul. Paper applicationswill not be accepted. Hunt-ers may apply individuallyor in parties of two. There isa non-refundable applica-tion fee of $10 per hunter.Successful applicants willbe notified by mail. In orderto hunt, they must purchasean elk license for $250. Eachparty will be authorized toharvest one elk.
If no qualified landown-ers apply, all licenses will bedrawn from the general poolof applicants. In Minneso-ta, elk hunts are consideredonce-in-a-lifetime opportu-nities, which means partiesthat choose to purchase theirlicense will not be eligible toapply for future elk hunts.
Applicants must selecta single zone in which tohunt. Choices are Zone10 (Grygla) or Zone 20(Central Kittson County).Applicants may not apply
for both zones. Applicantssuccessful in the lottery willbe randomly selected forseason and license.
“The early hunt is timedto coincide with the elk rut,so hunters will have a goodopportunity to try calling abull,” Cornicelli said. “Dur-ing the second season, elkshould be congregated inlarger groups with snow onthe ground, making trackingand trailing easier.”
All successful applicantswill be required to attend anorientation session at ThiefLake Wildlife ManagementArea headquarters in MiddleRiver prior to the hunt. Hunt-ers also must register theirelk in their hunt area. Somebiological information rela-tive to elk physical conditionwill be collected at the checkstation. Elk will be tested forchronic wasting disease andbovine tuberculosis as partof Minnesota’s wild cervidsurveillance program.
Hunters should be awarethat both elk zones includeprivate land. Permission tohunt these lands should beobtained prior to purchasingtheir license.
Apply now for the 2010 Minnesota elk hunt

Healing tips for poison ivy contact - the solution maybe in your own yard
Commonly found in lawns, along trails and in sidewalk cracks, Plantain can be used for poison ivy rash, stings and other me-dicinal purposes. It grows to about six to 18 inches in height. The leaves are broad and oval-like, and are deeply ribbed with a grooved stalk.
Jewelweed is a smooth annual three to five feet tall with oval, round- toothed leaves. It is found most often in moist woods, usually near poison ivy or sting-ing nettle. Jewelweed blooms May through October with yellow or orange trumpet shaped flowers.
