April showers bring May flooding

to Rainy River, Lake of the Woods
Robert Hopwood
Reporter
A series of storms this spring
has pulled Northern Minnesota
out of drought, but that extra
moisture has swollen the Rainy
River above flood stage and filled
Lake of the Woods to overflow-
ing.
The Rainy River has risen
more than four feet at Wheeler’s
Point since April 1, according to
the United States Geological Sur-
vey. The river’s rapid rise was fu-
eled by precipitation that was
300% to 500% of normal for April,
according to the Lake of the
Woods Control Board.
The river, which flows into
Lake of the Woods, is above flood
stage, according to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources. The fast-moving current
has washed detritus down the
river, killed livestock, destroyed
docks and closed boat ramps.
The river flooded Rainy
River’s Hannam Park, submerg-
ing the playground and part of
the town’s River Trails system.
Damage to the riverfront park
has been minor, Rainy River
Chief Administrative Officer Vel-
dron Vogan said.
“It’s mostly just cleaning up
versus damages,” she said.
A few people in Rainy River
have suffered dock damage,
Vogan said, but none of the
homes prone to flooding have
been damaged.
The rising water in the
Baudette River has damaged a
seawall at Willie Walleye Park in
Baudette, Public Works Director
Mike Ring said. And debris in the
river also damaged one of the
city’s docks.
Ring said he saw the Rainy
River’s floodwaters sweep away
boats and even dead livestock.
“I saw a cow floating down the
river,” he said. “It had drowned.”
Flooding from recent storms
has wreaked havoc beyond the
river, Ring said.
Flooding from the last storm
to hit the area damaged a pump
at the lift station behind VFW
Post 723 in Baudette, and recent
rains washed out several roads in
town, including one at Elm Park
Cemetery, Ring said.
The swollen Rainy River, fed
by record to near-record precipi-
tation in April, also is causing
problems at the county’s resorts.

how property assessments work

Robert Hopwood
Reporter
Lake of the Woods County sent
letters to taxpayers explaining
why property values increased for
many landowners across the
county and how the assessor’s of-
fice determined those values.
The letters were sent May 2,
two weeks after the Assessor’s Of-
fice sent valuation notices to tax-
payers detailing how much each
person’s property was worth.
Those notices were sent April 18.
County Commissioner Joe
Grund said he asked Assessor
Alisa Jacobsen to send the infor-
mational letters after several tax-
payers talked to him about their
property values.
“I had four or five calls on it,”
he said.
Grund, who said he was un-
aware land values, including his
own, were going to rise as much as
they did this year, wanted to let
people know how the county and
state determine property values.
The assessed value of almost all
property types — residential, agri-
cultural and seasonal recreational
— rose across the county in 2022,
according to the letter.
“It is a big increase this year,
based on the market,” Assessor
Alisa Jacobsen said.
This is the first time the county
has sent informational letters to
taxpayers explaining how prop-
erty values work.
Reasons cited in the assessor’s
letter for the increased land values
were supply and demand for prop-
erty and increased construction
costs.
Many taxpayers think property
values are increased to raise more
revenue. That’s not true. The As-
sessor’s Office determines prop-
erty values, not taxes, Jacobson
said.
“We can’t say it’s going to raise
your taxes; it’s going to lower your
taxes,” she said.
The amount of money budgeted
by the County Board, School
Board, Township Board or City
Council will be collected regard-
less of what property values do,
according to the Assessor’s Office.
Property values help determine
each parcel’s share of the total tax
bill.
Higher property values don’t
mean taxpayers will be paying
more money to the county, Grund
said. It is possible they could pay
less.
Proposed tax statements will be
mailed in November, after each
taxing authority sets its budget,
according to the Assessor’s Office.
Actual property tax statements
will be mailed March 2023.
Property owners who disagree
with their land’s assessed value or
classification can appeal it by con-
tacting Lake of the Woods
County’s Assessor’s Office.
Property owners need to do
their research so they can prove
their land’s assessed value is in-
correct before they appeal it to the
Local Board of Appeal and Equal-
ization.
The meeting for property own-
ers in the city of Baudette was
held on May 9, but landowners in
the county can still appeal their
assessments.
The board meets at 6 p.m. on
June 13 at the Lake of the Woods
Government Center, which is lo-
cated at 206 8th Ave. SE in
Baudette.

The dams in Kenora, on the lake’s
northern shore, are open, releasing water
out of the lake, according to the control
board. But the upstream dams at Na-
makan Lake and Rainy Lake, which re-
lease water into the Rainy River, are also
open. With those dams open, more water is
flowing into Lake of the Woods than out of
it.
The lake’s water level, which continues
to rise, is expected to increase another six
to eight inches by Monday, the control
board said.
This spring’s storms also have washed
away the drought conditions gripping
Lake of the Woods County and most of
Minnesota’s Iron Range, according to the
U.S. Drought Monitor.
Drought conditions in both areas were
classified as moderate to severe in early
February. Now, three months later, North-
ern Minnesota is free of drought.
With more rain on the way, it’s unlikely
we’ll see a return to drought in the near
future. But we could see more flooding.
Any heavy rainfall from now until early
June could cause conditions in the Rainy
Lake and Rainy River basin to worsen, ac-
cording to the National Weather Service.
And it predicted high water conditions
in the basin are likely to linger into June.
“This will be a historic flood compara-
ble to the flooding in 2014 and 1950 — pos-
sibly exceeding water levels observed
during those floods,” according to the
weather service’s website. “Areas that
have been affected by past high water
events (like 2014) should make prepara-
tions for high water levels returning.”
The weather service released a haz-
ardous weather outlook for the area on
Monday. It says a “notable system” moving
across the Dakotas later this week may
bring widespread rainfall and potentially
strong thunderstorms to the region.
If the storm turns out to be substantial,
“it could be bad for a lot of people,” Ring
warned.
The Sheriff’s Office has asked county
residents to document damage from the
high waters.
“This may be done by taking a video or
by photographing the damage along with
documentation of your name and ad-
dress,” the Sheriff’s Office said. “You may
submit this information by e-mailing Jill
Hasbargen Olson at jill_o@co.lotw.mn.us
or delivering the information in person to
the Lake of the Woods County Sheriff’s Of-
fice.”

Celebrate Local Heroes During
National EMS Week
CHI LakeWood Health Center
Hundreds of times a year, someone in our
area has an emergency – and the Lake of the
Woods Ambulance Service responds. During
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week
(May 15 to 21), we are saluting the people who
provide this essential, and life-saving, service.
EMS Week was originally authorized by
former President Gerald Ford in 1974 to cele-
brate EMS practitioners and the important
work they do in our nation’s communities.
Our community is served by the Lake of
the Woods Ambulance Service, which is
owned and operated by CHI LakeWood
Health. The ambulance service has a long
history in Baudette, going back to the 1970s
and on April 30 our community celebrated
the retirement of Don McKay, who was one of
the founding members.
Currently, the Lake of the Woods Ambu-

Technicians (EMTs). Our EMTs and drivers
are volunteers who serve their community in
addition to their full-time jobs. Several also
serve with the Fire Department. While they
are considered volunteers, EMTs and drivers
are paid for their time when they respond to
calls.
In 2021, the ambulance service completed
457 runs and standbys. The number of ambu-
lance runs has increased from around 300 to
nearly 500 runs per year in the last three to
five years. We currently have three ambu-
lances, which makes it possible to answer
emergency calls, provide stand-by services
for things like sporting and fair events, and
ship with funding provided through a con-
tract with the Office of Rural Health & Pri-
mary Care, Minnesota Department of Health.
The program and employment period runs
from May 30, 2022 to September 5, 2022.

I was doing some research for an
article I intended to start off the sea-

saw an advertisement for High Grade
Paris Green in a 1909 Rainy River Re-
gion newspaper for a product sold at
the Baudette Drug Store. Paris Green
was a highly toxic inorganic com-
pound that had two very different
uses - an insecticide/ a means to kill
rodents and a pigment. While we will
talk about both uses, it’s more likely
that the advertisement was intended
for use as an insecticide or rodenti-
cide. I would like to preface that I
GROWING IN THE ZONE3
April showers bring May Flowers
Joanne Kellner
L/W Master Gardeners
In some parts of the world, the
month of April can be exceptionally
rainy, just as the last ten days of
April here in the northland produced
abundant rains, badly needed after a
shortage of moisture last year. That
brings us to our expression for this
month: “April showers bring May
flowers.” This weather expression
states that ‘heavy rains help flowers
to grow.’
Who quoted “April showers bring
May flowers?” The expression is
first mentioned by Thomas Tusser in
“A Hundred Good Points of Hus-
bandry,” 1557. That version looks
like this: “Sweet April showers Do
spring May flowers." The sentiment
is found also in a poem by Mathilde
Blind called “April Rain.” Here in
the northland, late April/early May
is typically the time when the last bit
of snow turns to all rain as tempera-
tures climb, and increased rain
shower activity sparks the beginning
of flowers and plants to really start
blooming in the area.
All in all, the phrase is used less in
verbatim as it is a way to look ahead
to better and warmer weather days.
Since the changing of the seasons
often comes with more active
weather that can make it feel a bit
lousy outside, we use the phrase to
keep the hope alive, and to look on

took one chemistry class (in 2001) so,
apologies if my chemistry terms are
not quite correct. I just used what the
references said. Don’t worry, the his-
tory is correct!
Paris Green was actually an im-
provement upon an earlier green pig-
ment called Scheele’s Green. Carl
Wilhelm Scheele created the com-
pound in 1775 by combining sodium
arsenite with copper sulfate. It was
cheap to make and mimicked colors
found in nature. During the industri-
alization period, when factories in-
creased pollution, this green color
was attractive to many. It quickly
took over the market and was found
in wallpaper, clothing, candles, and
fake flowers. As the title of Kate
Kelleher’s article suggests, it was
“The color of fake foliage and death.”
In 1814, German chemists at the
Wilhelm Dye and White Lead Com-
pany sought to improve Scheele’s
the brighter side that nicer weather
is just around the corner. Hopefully,
the rain we’re finally getting is bene-
ficial for your flowers and plants in
your yard. Have you noticed the dif-
ferent trees and flowers beginning to
bloom in your yard?
The top task for gardeners during
the month of May is to finish clean-
ing up beds and feed the soil by ap-
plying compost. When the weather
warms, add mulch where needed.
Other tasks include hardening off of
plants started indoors by setting
them outside in a sheltered area for
gradually longer periods to acclimate
the plants to the sun and wind. You
can get a head start on the wind fac-
tor by setting up a fan on low speed
to gently blow toward your starter
plants. If you use cages and trellises,
be sure to position them before the
plants get too large. Asparagus and
rhubarb will be the first vegetables
to harvest. If you started lettuces in-
doors, you may be able to harvest
some soon, otherwise plant lettuce
seeds as soon as the ground is work-
able. Remember to stay off the soil
in your vegetable garden, flower
beds, and lawn as long as the soil is
wet to avoid compaction. Toward the
end of May, you can begin to harden
off any tropical or houseplants you
want to move outside for the sum-
mer. Last killing frost in our area is
typically around the end of May or
early June so keep a watchful eye on

Green. Due to the copper con-
tent in Scheele’s Green, the
color tended to fade and
blacken when exposed to sul-
fides. The chemists got rid of
the copper sulfate and instead
combined copper acetate with
arsenic trioxide. And with that,
Paris Green was born. Yes, that
nasty arsenic was still in play.
The name, according to lore,
came from the fact that it was
used to kill rats in the Parisian
sewers. Personally I think
adding the word, “Paris,” to the
name gives the product an ele-
vated status.
While people knew that in-
gesting arsenic was bad, they did not
know that it could kill you in other
ways. Let’s say you use green wallpa-
per (likely containing Paris Green as
a pigment) and you decide to heat up
the house because you live in north-
ern Minnesota and it gets mighty
cold in winter. As the room heats up,
causing the wallpaper to warm up,
gases from the Paris Green elements
are released and absorbed into peo-
ple’s lungs. Similarly, if a dress made
with fabric dyed using Paris Green is
ironed, the gases will be released.
We will continue this story next

the Father/Daughter dance was
held there. Alex escorted his
daughter Lola, who was all dolled
up for the occasion. So many
memories for everyone. A big
thank you to all the volunteers
who make this possible each year.
My featured recipe this week
comes from Mrs. Melvin Larson.
Rhubarb Upside Down
Cake
Melt 1/2 cup butter in shallow
pan. Add 1 cup brown sugar.
When mixture is bubbling, add 2
cups cut rhubarb. Beat 4 egg yolks
until lemon colored. Gradually
add 2/3 cup white sugar. Beat 4
egg whites and fold half into yolk
mixture. Add: 2/3 cup flour, 1 tsp.
baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt. Add
remainder of whites, 1 tsp. lemon
extract. Pour over rhubarb mix-
ture. Bake as any white cake.
Louise Schreiner helped with
the Father/daughter dance on
Sunday. She baked and decorated
many cookies for it. She said it
was one of the largest crowds to
attend. What a memorable day for
the girls and their daddies. Louise
joined the coffee group for break-
parted veterans for the Memorial
Day Program. This year, Juris
has sent Kay Adams a prelimi-
nary copy of this year's video and
she says it is even better than past
videos, if that is even possible.
She has identified a list of a few
pictures that are of poor quality.
Some were scans and many were
pictures taken from newspapers
etc. She would like for folks to
look at the list of names and see if
you can help improve the quality
of the video because the poor-
quality photos make the video of
a lesser quality. They are looking
for photos of Gene Kosel, Troy
Bidjins, Walter Bugler, Don Craig,
Melford Fish, Noris Flatland,
Ernest Gillie, Samuel Griggs,
Klemet Hawkins, Carroll John-
son, Dennis Langton, Steven

hauled away the branch then
joined Donna for coffee. Later
that day she was a visitor at her
son Rex and Teri Grill’s in War-

During those strong winds on
Friday many folks were left with-
out power after many trees were
toppled. We weren’t affected but
just east of us at my brother
Gary’s the power was off for some
time as it was in Roosevelt and
south of town. The households
that had sump pumps running got
a little nervous. Many folks are
dealing with wet basements and
trying to keep up with the prob-
lem. We are all praying for sun-
shine and no more rain, not now
anyways. The farmers are all
dressed up and no place to go! The
fields are saturated and can’t han-
dle anymore moisture.
Steve and Charlotte Chris-
tiansen motored over to Fargo on
Sunday where they spent time
visiting his brother Ken and Julia
Christiansen. Ken sent some
treasures home with them that he

with their grandson Devin, who
also lives in Fargo. They all went
out to lunch.

OBITUARIES
Linda G. Johnson, 67
Linda Gail Johnson lost
her battle with Glioblas-
toma, a terminal brain can-
cer, at her home in
Leavenworth, Kansas on
March 13, 2022, surrounded
by her family. Her never-
ending faith in the Lord
was her driving force in
life. She made the most out
of what God had given her
and lived by the motto, “It
could always be worse!”
Linda was born January
18, 1954, in Washington DC
to Dwayne and Geraldine
Butler. As a military child,
Linda moved a lot and the
family settled in Baudette
in the late 60’s. She gradu-
ated from Williams High
School in 1972 and married
Ronald R. Johnson. From
this union came three chil-
dren; Robert, Traci and
Katherine. Linda and Ron
lived in various locations
over their 23 years of mar-
riage but settled in Roo-
sevelt, Minnesota until
1995. She later lived on the
Iron Range and in Newel,
South Dakota before mak-
ing Leavenworth her home.
Linda worked at a vari-
ety of places over her life-
time including; Marvin
Windows and Doors, Lake
Street Floral and the Blue
Line Diner. She enjoyed
her vegetable gardens and
being able to prepare and
preserve what they pro-
duced, but her flower gar-
dens were her showpiece.
She purchased local flower
and bird books every place
she lived, knowing not only
their common names but
species names as well.
Linda’s grandkids were
her pride and joy. Whether

Marilyn E. Cherekos, 87
Marilyn Elizabeth
Cherekos passed away
peacefully on May 12, 2022.
Marilyn was born April 21,
1935 in Lancaster Wiscon-
sin; to Maurice Charles
Ziegler and Harriette Caro-
line (Tummel) Ziegler.
Marilyn lived a full, inter-
esting life that touched
many others.
What mattered most to
Marilyn was her family
and community in
Baudette MN. On April
28th 1956, she was united in
marriage to her loving hus-
band, George S Cherekos.
They lived in various
homes within the north-
west Chicago suburban
area, with their 4 children
until September 1972. They
moved from Palatine, IL to
Baudette, MN when George
accepted a job with Rowell
Laboratories in Baudette.
In her earlier years back
in Wisconsin, Marilyn be-
came an accomplished
piano and coronet player.
She attended the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin in Madi-
son for one year. She also
developed her love of all
animals which lasted her
entire lifetime. She and
George owned many dogs
throughout their entire
marriage and her love of
dogs translated into many
hours volunteering at the
Lake of the Woods Humane
Society.
Soon after moving to
Baudette, Marilyn em-
braced becoming an active
member of her community.
With George by her side,
she became hooked on fish-
ing. It was their passion to
cruise their boat into the
heart of Lake of the Woods
to fish; have a shore lunch
and simply enjoy the
beauty. When their chil-
dren and families would
visit, George and Marilyn
were the optimal fishing
guides. Their love of Lake
of the Woods led them to
buy a cabin on Little Rasp-
berry Island near Morson,
Ontario. They spent many
happy times there, with
friends and family mem-
bers.
During the summers,
Marilyn kept a large gar-
den at their home on the
shore of the Rainy River,
growing many wonderful
vegetables and flowers.
Marilyn enjoyed golfing
with George and playing in
the ladies’ golf league.
Winters did not keep Mari-
lyn inside, even when the
temperatures were fre-
quently subzero. She
would cross country ski the
beautiful trails in Zippel
Bay State Park and ride her
snowmobile on the many
trails in the area and up
the Winter Road River with
iends

George.
For many years Marilyn
worked for the Lake of the
Woods School District
where she applied her love
of cooking to give students
an excellent hot lunch. In
Marilyn, the Lake of the
Woods Humane Society
had a passionate advocate
for the many homeless
dogs and cats. She would
volunteer at the shelter
very early in the morning,
and held various positions
with them, including
Treasurer.
In their retirement
years, Marilyn and George
loved to travel. Their trips
took them to many wonder-
ful parts of the United
States, Alaska, Canada, the
Greek Isles, Mexico, South
America and Europe. Mari-
lyn said her most favorite
trip was their cruise
around the southern tip of
South America’s Cape
Horn.
Marilyn was preceeded
in death by her parents,
husband George in 2014,
and sister Jean Chatterton
in 2018. She is survived by 4
children: Jean (Bill) Hayes,
DeForest, WI; Julie (Doug)
Kuehn, Park Rapids, MN;
Charles (Linda) Cherekos,
Plymouth, MN and Chris
(Susan) Cherekos,
Yorkville, IL. She is also
survived by 7 grandchil-
dren: Justin and Nicholas
Hayes(Jean and Bill); Jes-
sica (John) Henderson and
Josephine (Jon) Kali-
nowski (Julie and Doug),
Steven (Samantha)
Cherekos and Nicholas
Cherekos (Charles and
Linda), and Cassandra
(Mike) Peterson (Chris and
Susan). She will also be
missed by her 7 great-
grandchildren.
A private family gather-
ing to celebrate Marilyn’s
life will be held in June.

Sports Reporter
It was a beautiful day in War-
ren, for the True Team Meet on
Tuesday, May 10. The Bears girls
and boys teams faced their
toughest test of the year.
For the most part they passed
the tests.
On the girls side, Paige Haack
faced her toughest opponents to
date, and she was unable to gain
first place as she has been accus-
tomed to. She was 3rd in the 100
m dash and 6th in the 200 m dash.
The boys also had a difficult
time gaining all the first place
finishes, but did place first in the
1600 m, when Seth Meikle ran his
L/W track/field teams at True Team Meet
best time of the season. The
4x400 m relay team of Dawson
Miekle, Ben Berthiume, Seth
Meikle, and Anson Haack, ran a
season best time for a runaway
first place finish.
There were several 2nd and
3rd place finishes and personal
bests en route to a team 5th place
finish in the 13 team field. It’s the
best team finish in years by the
Bears boys team.
“It was good to have a good
test as we get ready for the sub-
section meet in two weeks,” said
Coach Curt Storbeck.

BEARS SPORTS
Bears make outstanding showing at Northland
Conference Track/Field Championship
Pat Garry
Sports Reporter
It was a gorgeous Friday, May 13.
“The girls again were led by Paige
Haack, who easily won the 100 m & 200 m
dashes, making her conference champion
and All-Conference! Congratulations to
Paige!” Coach Curt Storbeck exclaimed.
The boys team went into this contest
short-handed, as the seniors were on their
senior class trip. Two key pieces of their
winning efforts in previous meets were
missing, hence the line-up changed a bit,
and the boys were doing different events
that they haven’t done this year yet.
Each gave his best effort and still fin-
ished a respectable 4th place. All Confer-
ence honors go to top 3 finishers in each
event and 1st place is the Conference
champion.
