Southwest Angle  

by Rob Crowe    

        
     Summer may get here yet. I think the temp actually nudged into the 70’s on Friday, so more of the plants should start popping out of the ground any day now. Some of the turnips are already up as are some of the weeds. The second frost took out my row of tomatoes but a trip to Courtright’s by Management took care of that problem.

     The Colonel, as Jeff Parker is more or less, usually less, fondly called by the Warroad Dairy Queen coffee crew,  says that summer will get here on July 17th. John Heneman says you can’t take that to the bank, at least his bank, anyway… Speaking of John, Happy Birthday. He turns over another year on Saturday, the 13th. I’ll probably take the Little Girls over to the Dairy Queen on Monday so he can buy us all sundaes, early lunch you know...

    For the “gotta use what ya got” category, Leroy Gross sent over a picture of a tandem hitch of 4-wheelers pulling a field cultivator. It looks like a Ranger and a RZR making the field black somewhere in the Southwest Angle.

    If you folks out there have any interesting photos of similar subjects, contact information is in the little blue box at the lower right hand corner of this page.  I’m also looking for projects to feature so if you have any you want to have noticed ,or, know of a good one, let me know  about it.

    Amber the Horse’s owner, Management’s niece Amy, came up for a visit to see Amber and help the Little Girls start preparing for their equestrian activities at the fair. It got pointed out to me right away that I’d been deficient at keeping Amber’s hooves properly trimmed, which I had. Horseman Clayton didn’t have time to come over so I asked the crusty old Norsk at work who he had to trim hooves. He said he usually did it himself but that his son Eric was also good at it. He called Eric on his cell phone on a break and Eric agreed to come up to trim Amber’s hooves on Friday.

    A bit later at work the crusty old Norsk came by and asked if Trapper was at home.

    I told him, “No, Trapper took my father-in law up to Whitefish Bay for a couple of days.”

    “Well,” he said, “if Trapper was there, I’d ride over with Eric tomorrow for a visit. I see you enough here so it isn’t worth it to ride along to see just you!”

    The crusty old Norsk doesn’t quite have the put down skill of, say, Duane Comstock or Lawrence Klema, but it isn’t for lack of trying. 

    Eric did a nice job on trimming up Amber’s hooves.  I took a good picture of the Eric, Amber and Amy as you can see above. Unfortunately I did get Mr. Green, Trapper’s ancient Chevy pickup, in the picture, for which I apologize.

    Another week in the Great North, see you next week!

Import Requirements for Horses Going into Wisconsin

     The Minnesota Board of Animal Health has recently been contacted by Wisconsin’s state veterinarian regarding certificates of veterinary inspection (CVI) issued by Minnesota veterinarians. Some CVI’s have failed to meet Wisconsin’s import requirements for horses. Along with a CVI issued by an accredited veterinarian, individual identification must be listed on the CVI and is required for all ages of equine animals going into Wisconsin.

Acceptable forms of identification for equines are:

• Registration number

• Lip tattoo number

• Radio frequency identification chip number

• Complete description of the animal including breed, coloration, and distinguishing markings, all listed on the CVI

• If the animal has no markings, “No Markings” should be written after the color

Accredited veterinarians who issue CVI’s for horses and other types of livestock must be sure that all requirements are met before the animal leaves the state of Minnesota. For Wisconsin import information available 24 hours a day, call 608-224-4879.

Rabies Season Underway

It is rabies season once again, and the Board encourages producers, veterinarians, and pet owners to vaccinate their animals. In addition, animals exhibiting signs of rabies that may have exposed other animals or people should be tested at the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL).

Specimens for rabies testing must be relatively fresh with the brain fully intact. Ideally specimens should be kept chilled and not frozen. However, samples that have been frozen can often yield satisfactory results. Whenever possible, specimens should be hand delivered to the lab. If this is not possible, specimens may be sent by a direct overnight delivery service. There is a $25.00 laboratory fee for rabies testing. Please call the VDL at 800-605-8787 for more details on submitting specimens for testing.

Psalm 23 (King James Version)

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

 ¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 ²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

 ³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

 ⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 ⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

 ⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 

Salmenes 23 (Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930)

Salmenes 23

 ¹En salme av David. Herren er min hyrde, mig fattes intet.

 ²Han lar mig ligge i grønne enger, han leder mig til hvilens vann.

 ³Han vederkveger min sjel, han fører mig på rettferdighets stier for sitt navns skyld.

 ⁴Om jeg enn skulde vandre i dødsskyggens dal, frykter jeg ikke for ondt; for du er med mig, din kjepp og din stav de trøster mig.

 ⁵Du dekker bord for mig like for mine fienders øine, du salver mitt hode med olje; mitt beger flyter over.

 ⁶Bare godt og miskunnhet skal efterjage mig alle mitt livs dager, og jeg skal bo i Herrens hus gjennem lange tider.

Psaltaren 23 (Levande Bibeln)

Psaltaren 23

Den gode herden

 ^1-2Herren är min herde, och därför har jag allt vad jag behöver. Han låter mig vila på gröna ängar och leder mig till källor med friskt vatten.

 ³Han ger mig ständigt ny styrka till kropp och själ. Han leder mig på rätta vägar och hjälper mig leva efter sin vilja.

 ⁴Även om jag vandrar genom dödens mörka dal, behöver jag inte vara rädd, för du finns bredvid mig, och din käpp och stav hjälper mig på vägen.

 ⁵Du ger mig god mat mitt framför ögonen på mina fiender, ja, jag får vara din hedersgäst. Du fyller min bägare till brädden, och dina välsignelser flödar över!

 ⁶Din godhet, vänskap och kärlek följer mig i hela mitt liv, och jag ska alltid få bo i ditt hus.

Bob, Loralee and Uff-Da open The Shed

    Uff-Da the Cocker Spaniel will likely be overseeing things as Bob and Loralee Marvin host the Grand Opening for The Shed on Saturday, June 20th from 4:00 to 9:00 pm. Bob built The Shed so he could put all the cars he and Loralee have collected over the years under one roof. It is located next to Lake Country Chevrolet and Mike Kvarnlov and crew will be moving the cars in their lot out so the visitors can park there on Saturday. 

     The festivities at The Shed will take place after the North Country Cruisers' "Motorhead Classic" Car Show in Warroad winds up. The car collection is mostly muscle cars like the Boss 429 and the Z-28 pictured here, which Bob displayed at last year’s Motorhead Classic.

See you there!

Anders Gustafsson Returns

      (Note: the concert was subsequently cancelled)

Swedish pianist, Anders Gustafsson, will be giving a concert at 3:00 pm, Sunday July 5th at the Warroad Middle School. Anders, who presents a High energy, varied program for all ages, is a 20-year-old child prodigy from Amal, Sweden. He began his interest in piano at the age of 20 months. At age two he could play simple melodies with both hands. When he was five they discovered his perfect pitch.  He has been giving public concerts since the age of 7 as well as TV and radio.  He has had more than thirty six national TV appearances throughout Europe. 

     His most notable concert performance was for the king and queen of Sweden. Anders has worked with other Swedish artists, most recently "Stefan and Krister" in more than 100 productions of their Jubilee Show. He was a guest artist at the 2000 Norsk Hostfest at Minot, ND. This will be an unforgettable show for all ages. It will leave any audience in amazement. Anders, together with the accompaniment of his father, promises to delight every audience. Anders will play everything from boogie-woogie to take offs on classical masterpieces. Anders will play on his back and upside down. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see and hear this fantastic performer.

    According to Carrol T. Juven, Anders will render twelve concerts here in the midwest including Mnnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota as part of a cultural exchange between Sweden and the USA.

    There will be no admission charge (a free will offering will be taken). Arrive early and enjoy a pre-concert "warm-up" by   Uncle Ray's Old Timers. Everyone is welcome!

    If you have any questions, call Bill Landby at 386-1654.

North Country Cruisers’ "Rappin' Trophy"

    Hasso Rathenbacher holds the “Rappin' Trophy", which he conceived and built for the upcoming North Country Cruisers' "Motorhead Classic" Car Show in Warroad. This year’s trophy consists of a cut-off cherry bomb muffler decorated with eight spark plugs that is mounted on a big block Chevy valve cover. On Friday night, June 19, the nastiest sounding Hot Rod in Warroad will win Hasso’s creation.

     The Saturday Show will be held near the Veteran's Memorial on Hwy 11 in Warroad. Car registration begins at 10 a.m., "Oldies Music", food vendors, door prizes, engine melt down, trophy presentation, and after-show cruise by the Warroad Care Center.
