Rampant rumors Q&A Reader RibbEts
Connie Pettersen
In an interview on Mon.,
Mar. 26, Superintendent Bernie Novak openly addressed
concerns that have been expressed throughout the Aitkin
community. Those questions
have been raised following
defeat of the referendum last
November. At that time, the
school district was reportedly about $500,000 short,
and programs were going to
have to be cut drastically to
balance the budget.
However, in the last couple
of weeks, there has been
increasing speculation as to
the actual budget shortfall. In
addition, there have been rumors of a land swap between
the school and a private
landowner. In an effort to
satisfy community concerns,
a candid discussion was held
with ISD1 Superintendent
Bernie Novak, who answered
the following questions:
Q: What programs were cut
after the referendum failed?
A: “All elementary sports
were cut,” said Novak. “We
had to decide what was the
best value (for the most students).” Novak also indicated
that it may be possible for
elementary-level sports to be
run through Community Ed,
coached by volunteers such
as parents, grandparents,
retired coaches, etc. One of the business teaching positions will be reduced
to half-time. Other retiring
staff will be replaced with
less-experienced teachers,
which will reduce expenditures in the future.
The district also reduced
expenses by reducing teacher’s budgets.
Q: Rumors are that $900,000
was discovered in the district’s
budget. Is that true? How did
that happen? What will that
money be used for?
A: “There is no extra money,” Novak said. “Our original
budget was off that much.
Prior to the referendum, we
said we would be $900,000
off, but we ended up being
only $101,000 off.”
“We have to set a budget
before July 1,” Novak said.
“But by the beginning of the
fiscal year, we really don’t
know what money will be
coming in, or what revenues
are for expenditures. What
we did was to make sure we
were not over-budget. We
determined our expenditures
high and our revenue low
... so it could be in place by
July 1st in order to continue
operating.”
Novak pointed out that at
the beginning of the year, the
district does not know how
many students it will have or
the formulas as far as state
revenues, etc. “It’s not like
we are receiving a paycheck
every month and we know
what that paycheck is going
to be,” he explained, calling
it a best “guesstimate.”
Then as the school year
goes on, the district adjusts its
budget, as the varying financial factors become known.
However, the auditors do not
look at the adjusted budget.
The auditors must use the
original estimated budget
from the previous June, not
actual figures at year’s end.
The fact that more students
came in than expected caused
an increase in revenue. “At
the very end, expenditures
and revenues were very
close. When you compare
it to when we started, we
are $900,000 off, which was
simply an arbitrary number
in the first place.” Q: Is the school proposing
a land swap involving land
south of town and the existing track fields?
A: “No, absolutely not,”
said Novak. “A landowner
south of town is willing to
donate to the school if we do
something within a certain
time frame.” Novak said that it could be
a great opportunity for the
school district to secure that
land for future use, when it
may be necessary to replace
aging infrastructure.
“Where, in the future, are
you going to find land?”
asked Novak, “and how will
you pay for it? This landowner is willing to donate land
to the school – if we commit
to it and do something with
it. What we need to do, I am
not sure at this time. But no,
there is no land swap.” News media seen as
culprit, aiding enemy
I’m writing to say “thank
you” to both the NewsHopper and the author of It Begs
the Question: Who Is Aiding Who? by Mr. Martin L.
Butcher.
I feel it is a treasonable
and contentious news media
in the United States which
willingly aids the enemy
in this war. And to those
who fly their ribbons and
say that they “support the
troops,” then try to cut their
funding, set time lines and
bellyache about torturing
alla Abu Ghraib, and Club
Gitmo (Guantanamo), are
living hypocritical lives. The
Human Rights group turn
their faces from the torture
and beheadings of America’s
Best and our friends, and say
nothing, thus tacitly supporting the terrorists.
War is War, and being restricted by as to how and
what methods can be used
to destroy an enemy is totally
wrong. Maybe it began after
President Truman bombed
Japan, and he felt he’d condoned a wrong, because
General McArthur had Korea
on the ropes and wanted to
finish the job. Truman fired
McArthur and the American
Defensive Machine hasn’t
operated to Win since. It’s
like we lead with our chin
out and one arm tied behind
our back.
On day one of this war, why
didn’t Al Jazeera disappear in
a smoke cloud and whatever
happened to our propaganda
machine?
As for the “world hating”
the United States, if it does,
it is fertilized by our own media and State Department.
In October of 2004, I decided on a visit to Italy, having
had spent a tour there. Upon
landing in Cagliari, we were
met with open arms, hugs
and kisses. Everywhere (dappertutto) we went, from old
friends to complete strangers there was no “Go Home
Americans.” From a serious political discussion with
university students, to the
Municipio of Cremona when
trying to locate a friend who
served in the Italian army, or
when off course in Treviso,
being called Babbo, we were
asked lots of questions, given
many handshakes and were
finally escorted to our destination by young Italian working men. No matter where we
went, Tonora, Piscinas, Idro,
et. al., life was dolce. But it’s
not all Ben Venuto, because
some of our tourists have left
a distasteful wake.

Cherish that child’s hand
– it represents the future
When a boy or girl thrusts
his small hand in yours, it
may be smeared with chocolate ice cream, or grimy from
petting a dog. There may be
a wart under the right rhumb
and a bandage around the
little finger.
But the most important
thing about his hands is
that they are the hands of
the future. These hands that
someday may hold a Bible
or a Colt revolver; play the
church piano or spin a gam-
bling wheel, gently dress a
leper’s wound, or tremble
wretchedly uncontrolled by
an alcoholic mind.
Right now that hand is
yours. It asks for help and
guidance. It represents a
full-fledged personality in
miniature to be respected as
a separate individual whose
day-to-day growth into Christian adulthood is our responsibility.

MN Rolling Timberwolves challenge area
locals to Wheelchair Basketball Fundraiser
The Minnesota Rolling Timberwolves Basketball Team
has challenged area locals to
friendly competition on Sat.,
Apr. 21 at 7 p.m. in the Grand
Rapids High School. The
game is a fundraiser for Volunteers for the Handicapped
Association based in Grand
Rapids, whose service area is
from Bemidji to Duluth.
Following the game there
will be an auction of such
things as golf packages,
safety equipment for the
house, and more. The funds
go to support accessibility
projects that the association
takes on over the year.
One of the players on the
Timberwolves team is former
Grand Rapids wrestler, Kurt
Greniger, who was paralyzed
from the waist down after a
drop during a meet when he
was in high school. Kurt had
a bright career in wrestling
ahead of him until he was
injured. Kurt now promotes
independence to those with
disabilities when he gets
his team to roll out into the
communities they visit. Kurt
is married with children and
working fulltime.
Tickets for the event go on
sale at Reed’s Drug Store in
Grand Rapids on Apr. 1, or
reserve tickets at the will call
office, 218-327-1522.

After 30 years or practicing medicine in Aitkin, Dr.
Charles Schotzko, family
practice physician at Riverwood Healthcare’s Aitkin
clinic, is bidding his patients
farewell and moving into a
new role. This change was
announced to his patients in
mid-February.
As of April 1, Dr. Schotzko
will no longer see patients
in the Riverwood clinic, but
instead will work exclusively
with both nursing homes in
Aitkin – Aitkin Health Services and Aicota – to provide
patient care for residents.
He will remain employed
by Riverwood but will work
with North Clinic, a part of
the North Memorial medical
system in the Twin Cities, as
the primary care provider for
a new case management program called Minnesota Senior
Health Options (MSHO).
This managed care program
for persons 65 and older who
are eligible for both Medicare
No Child Left Behind debate
Foundation says the plan
gives states more control.
“By shifting greater authority back to the local level,
local leaders and state policy
makers would be given back
responsibility and the opportunity to improve our schools
at the local level.”
The administration acknowledges that some changes
need to be made. It is willing to listen, but Department
of Education Spokesperson
Holly Kuzmich says the focus
still needs to be on student
achievement and accountability.
“But we think it’s really important not to roll back the
clock on accountability.”
House Education Com-
mittee ranking member
Buck McKeon supports
the original law, and will
be fighting for the options
the law gives to parents.
His spokesperson, Lindsey
Mask, says his aim is twofold.
“Two of his focuses are
flexibility and choice.”
Gregory McGinity of the
Broad Foundation says all
the debate is healthy.
“Out of all of this we
want to get a strong consensus about fixing an
education system that’s a
serious problem and that
our children, in the end, are
losing out.”
The debate has a very
bipartisan feel to it.

The president’s signature
education law is up for renewal and several ideas are
floating around Congress
about how to do it. Some
see minor tweaks as the answer, while others say the
law needs to be overhauled
completely.
More than 50 members
of the House and Senate are backing legislation
that would allow states to
opt out of No Child Left
Behind. The state would
have to pass a referendum,
or two of three state authorities: the governor, the
legislature or the highest
elected education official
could decide they want out.

and Medicaid offers a new
model of integrated longterm care services. Through
the MSHO program, a nurse
coordinator in Aitkin will
work with Dr. Schotzko to
coordinate the healthcare
needs of nursing home patients, including scheduling
of medical appointments
outside the nursing home.
“I look forward to working
on setting up a system to deliver more readily accessible
and satisfying healthcare to
local nursing home residents
and their families,” explains
Dr. Schotzko. “I will miss caring for patients who I have
come to know so well over
the years, but Riverwood has
excellent and well-trained
physicians who can step in
and take my place. As I’ve
grown older, I feel it is time
to slow down and spend
more time with my family
and pursue some personal
interests.”
Dr. Schotzko has played an
important role in providing
quality healthcare to patients
of Aitkin County for many
years, according to Dr. Mark
Heggem, Riverwood medical
director. “He has been a great
role model for young physicians and medical students
during that time as well. We
have all learned a great
deal from him and will miss
him dearly at the clinic and
hospital. However, we welcome him into his new role

Annual Cuyuna Country Heritage
Preservation Society meeting
An update on Crow Wing
County efforts to turn the
Milford Mine location into a
memorial park will be presented by Peter Van
Evera at the annual
meeting of Cuyuna
Countr y Heritage
Preservation Society
(CCHPS).
The public meeting
will be held at 11
a.m., Thurs., Apr. 12,
at Gary’s Sports Bar
and Grill in Ironton.
Make reservations by
calling Evie Sheets,
CCHPS Program Coordinator, 218-546-5063, no
later than Apr. 10. Ordering
will be off the menu.
On Feb. 5, 1924, 41 miners
– almost the entire day shift
of the Milford – died within
minutes when the waters
of nearby Foley Lake broke
through and filled the mine.
Only seven men managed
to escape the water boiling
into the mine. It was the
single greatest iron min-
ing tragedy in U.S. history.
Lansin Hamilton, former
Crow Wing County Land
Commissioner and now a
CCHPS member has
long been involved
in efforts to develop
the remote and difficult to access Milford
site into a memorial park. Hamilton,
Van Evera and other
CCHPS members
have voted to make
the park a priority
until the project to
make it accessible to
local residents and
visitors is completed under
the guidance and financing
of Crow Wing County and
other sponsors.
Also par t of the program will be background
music and vocals by Kris
Hasskamp, CCHPS Legislative Chair and coodinator
of Cuyuna Range Heritage
Network’s Man High Celebration Aug. 17, 18 and
19. That event, initiated two
years ago by Jim Nelson of
CCHPS, is in recognition
of the Man High series of
three manned flights to the
ceiling of the world 50 years
ago. Man High II, piloted
by Dr. David Simons, was
launched on Aug. 18 from
the Portsmouth deep mine
pit in Crosby and successfully returned to earth on
Aug. 19, 1957.
Steve Blanich will discuss
the interactive replica of
the Man High capsule to
be created by metal artist
Jeff Kreitz of Crosslake as
part of the celebration. The
sculpture was made possible thanks to a grant from
the Hallett Charitable Trusts.
School children and other
visitors will have an opportunity to sit in the pilot’s
seat and get a feeling for just
how cramped the capsule
jammed with life support
and scientific testing equipment was for the three Man
High pilots during their
pioneering flights.

Controversy, contention at county board
MORRIS-MORRIS
Infrastructure revolving loan fund proposal killed
During the Aitkin County
Board meeting Tues., Mar.
20, the board split, 3-2, in its
decision relative to providing revolving loan funds to
townships and/or cities for
infrastructure improvements.
This idea was proposed by
County Engineer John Welle
last week.
Commissioner Dale Lueck
said he had spoken to townships supervisors, clerks and
treasurers, and had received
a consistent theme –“they
do not see a need within the
township to get involved.
They well understand how
to borrow money and have
used shortterm lending procedure in the past. However,
they said ‘If you’ve got extra
money, it’d be great for us to
have it!’”
Lueck made a motion to
cease working on the loan
fund proposal.
“I realize I have no cities
in my district, and everyone
may have a different perspective,” Lueck concluded.
Commissioner Galen Tveit
seconded Lueck’s motion to
cease consideration of the
revolving loan fund.
“In the beginning it sounded good,” Tveit said, “but it
did put the taxpayers in a
position to have their township level raised. Tax money
should not be used to up the
ante of taxes.”
Commissioner Chair Brian
Napstad weighed in and expressed concern on the “path
the board would be walking
down.”
“We would be sitting in a
position to decide what city/
township is more important
than another,” Napstad said.
“There are not unlimited
funds available.”
Napstad said he agreed
with Lueck in that townships
already have the ability to
levy taxes and/or bond, and
that a county revolving loan
fund would not put on the
table anything that is not
already available.
Lueck added that he had
had spoken to a local commercial lender. That lender
“made it clear that townships
get a better credit rating than
private citizens,” so they’re
already getting a reduced
interest rate.
“Are we getting into the
banking business?” Lueck
asked, adding that specialized skills are needed in the
area of loans, which would
equate to needing additional
county personnel. “Is this
way up on the priority list of
what taxpayers want me to
spend my time on?”
Commissioner Paul Bailey
strongly reacted to the tone
of the discussion.
“It’s not fair to base the
county on one district,” he
said. “This board should realize we make decisions for the
whole county.”
Bailey continued on to say
that McGrath would be interested in utilizing an infrasture
revolving loan fund.
Interim County Administrator Tom Burke interjected
questions into the discussion,
asking commissioners what
they wanted department
heads to bring to the county
board in the future. He reminded the board that Welle
had brought this idea to the
board as a proposal, and that
department head input is
needed and valuable in the
county operation.
“You’re not going to get
ideas from department heads
if all they hear is the negative,” Burke said.
Commissioner Napstad said
that John Welle had brought
seven issues to the board,
and this was “only one issue
on his list.”
“It touched county fund
balances, which is board purview,” Napstad said. “Because
one item is controversial,
does not preclude other department heads from bringing issues to the board.”
Burke referred to a misquote in a local newspaper,
that said the county has ”excess funds,” and that’s why
a revolving loan fund was
being considered.
Pete’s Retreat Campground hits
environmental green light
The Environmental Assessment Worksheet review
committee made a unanimous recommendation not
to require an Environmental
Impact Statement on the
proposed expansion of Pete’s
Retreat Campground near
Malmo, adjacent to Deer
Lake. Conclusions in the
Record of Decision state
that “the project poses no
potential for significant en-
vironmental effects.”
The Aitkin County Board of
Commissioners accepted the
findings of fact and conclusion, and authorized signing
the decision during its board
meeting Tues., Apr. 20.
The proposed project includes the expansion of an
existing 49 site campground
by an additional 49 campsites,
for a total of 98 sites. Onsite
sewer and water systems will

service the expansion.
Questions were raised during the 30-day public review
and comment period. Aitkin
Co. Planning and Zoning
Office received written comments from Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Mille
Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the
Office of the Minnesota State
Archaeologist.
Richard M. Rothaus, PhD,
Rothaus Consulting LLC, the
Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe’s
consulting archaeologist, said
that the EAW did not address
cultural resource issues and
ignored the “strong” possibility of burials in the area and
listed potential sites.
Aitkin Co. responded to the
Band by saying that Pete’s
Retreat owners had contacted Archaeological Research
Services of Minneapolis to
perform an archaeological
study on the property. That
study was begun on Feb. 22
and will be continued when
weather permits this spring.
Although the archaeologist
has said that “the likelihood
of burial features appears
low,” in the event that a burial
site is discovered, existing
State laws will be complied
with and additional investigation completed.
“I can’t react to a misquote
in the paper,” Burke said. “ I
think it’s terrible to hold ideas
hostage to what’s in print.”
Commissioner Mark Wedel
agreed with Burke.
“We need input and new
ideas,” Wedel said. “It’s not
fair to the county to subdue ideas from department
heads.”
“I’m not advocating for or
against it,” Wedel continued.
“But this board directed John
Welle to look into it further.
Members of the public are expecting the board to discuss
it during the April 3 meeting.
To me this is an issue of fairness to the public.”
When all discussion halted,
the motion to cease consideration of the county revolving
loan fund was called. Three
commissioners voted for the
motion to cease (Lueck, Napstad, Tveit), and two opposed
(Bailey, Wedel).
County staff was directed
to discontinue gathering
information and discontinue
any work on the concept
of a revolving loan fund for
infrastructure projects with
the townships.

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little
House books, written about
her life as a 19th century
frontier girl are rich in historical value. Their publishing history began in 1932
during a depression-era
economy. Today Laura’s
books continue to reach
all generations of readers
worldwide and are some of
the greatest literary achievements of the last century.
I first discovered Laura Ingalls Wilder back in 1956 as
a third grader in a one-room
school near Volin, South
Dakota. Our teacher, Mrs.
Dorothy Preheim, read Little
House in the Big Woods, and
Farmer Boy. I was hooked.
Not just on Laura’s books,
but with a love of reading, history, and a desire
to write.
I’m still in awe of her writing, but even more so with
the depth of her character.
She faced life with grit, faith,
and hope for the future, all
despite personal losses. It
was a quality at least equal
to Laura’s literary legacy.
While she wasn’t perfect,
(she admitted she had flaws
as everyone has) her life
reflects exemplary morals, conduct and positive
thinking.
During Laura’s first quarter
century of life, she endured
hardships during childhood
and tragedies as a bride. The
Wilders lost their only son
as an infant. A fire destroyed
their home and almost all
belongings. They also faced
serious health issues and
defeat her.
It had to be a difficult decision in 1894 to leave everything familiar in De Smet,
Dakota Territory for a land
site unseen. At age 27, Laura
made “the land of the big red
apple” a grand adventure for
daughter Rose. More likely

consecutive crop failures
from parched Dakota fields
in seven drought years.
Despite adversities and
personal heartbreak, Laura
kept her religious faith,
refusing to let tribulations

her beloved Dakota prairies

and truthful. Laura’s Pa and
Ma, strong and independent, also had wilderness
survival skills as well as
they modeled gentleness,
integrity and thriftiness.
Laura was born in a log
cabin near Pepin, Wisconsin
in 1867. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885. In Missouri, she began writing her
“eight volume novel” as she
referred to her Little House
books. Her original story,
pencilled on inexpensive
school tablets, was titled
“Pioneer Girl.” They were
memoirs of heading west
in covered wagons through
woodlands, across prairies,
and helping Pa and Ma in a
wilderness existence.
After returning by train to
De Smet to be at her father’s
deathbed in 1902, Laura
was awash in childhood
memories. She had stories
she felt had to be told. When
she began writing about her
childhood in her retirement
years, she had not intended
them as history, but to enlighten younger generations

Laura hesitated to publish a
fifth volume about the tragic
events in their early marriage
in De Smet. She did not want
to dishearten young readers. After her death in 1957
at 90, a rough manuscript
about those first years was
found and provided answers
to many requests from her
fans.
Published in 1971, The First
Four Years included Rose’s
birth in December 1886, the
loss of their infant son in
1889, and the fire destroying
most of their possessions and
the house Almanzo built and
mortgaged.
On the Way Home, (1962)
begins in De Smet with
Laura and Almanzo nearly
dying from diphtheria and
Almanzo’s partial paralysis.
Other dire circumstances included a seven-year drought,
repeated crop failures with
additional mortgages, plus a
doctor ordering Almanzo to
a warmer climate.
Almanzo, Laura and Rose
leave the scorched Dakota
prairies in July 1894 “with
hard luck nipping at their
heels.” Laura had Pa’s adventurous pioneering spirit
and Ma’s skills in handling
life’s difficulties. Her diary
records their journey as long,
hot, dusty and at the mercy
of unpredictable weather and
strangers along the way.
When their adult daughter,
Rose, wrote about their Missouri move which occurred
after the financial panic of
1893, Rose said, “The whole
Middle West was shaken
loose and moving. There was
no hope, but everyone felt
the courage of despair.”
Humble beginnings
The Wilder’s luck turned in
Mansfield, Missouri. It was
the Promised Land – alive
with fresh Ozark mountain
air, flowing streams and
woodlands – an oasis after
parched prairies.
They purchased 40 acres
with 400 seedling apple trees.
Laura called it Rocky Ridge
Farm, but it was a couple
years before things got better
financially. The first year they
lived in a log cabin. The next
year they built a two-room
white frame home from farm
materials.
“We cleared the land and
built our own farmhouse,”
Laura said in her letter at
the Wilder museum. “Eventually we had 200 acres of
improved land, a herd of

Ojibwe life in 1930s, ’40s
Larry Aitken, a member
of the Leech Lake Band of
Ojibwe, will present a free
program about Ojibwe life
in the 1930s and 1940s at
noon April 5 in Dryden Theatre on the Brainerd campus
of Central Lakes College.
Aitken is a Native American history instructor at
Itasca Community College
in Grand Rapids and a member of the Medewiwin, the
Grand Medicine Society.
The program at CLC co-
incides with the exhibit of
rare Indian photographs in
the college gallery. “Ojibwe
Life – Photos by Monroe P.
Killy” continues in the gallery through April 5.
The exhibit offers vivid illustration of life on Ojibwe
reservations in northern
Minnesota during the 1930s
and 1940s. Themes include
wild rice harvesting, the
mapling process used in
making syrup, and everyday
life on the reservation.
The only other place the
collection has been viewed
by the public is the Center
for Western Studies in Sioux
Falls, SD.
Killy, now 96, started photographing Indians after his
father moved his photography business to Brainerd. He started observing at the
Mille Lacs Reservation and
continued to capture images
of the culture on reservations at Red Lake and Leech
Lake.
Robin Blegen was installed as Postmaster of McGrath in Feb. 2007. Blegen has worked
in the U.S. Postal Service for 27 years. Starting at the main office in Minneapolis, she
transferred to the Brainerd post office in Sept. 2004 and came to McGrath in August 2005.
About 30 people attended an open house to congratulate Blegen on her new position.
“Aitkin County only has seven post offices,” Blegen says. “How lucky this town is to have
a post office. I hope to meet lots of new people, and share my knowledge and skills as the
postmaster of McGrath.” L to r: Dave Johnson, Eveleth postmaster; Robin Blegen, McGrath
postmaster; and Harry Blegen, Robin’s husband.

The Old School – Solana
Philip Neese
Solana School was a large
two-floor school, which was
located five miles east of
Hwy. 65 and one mile south
of Co. Rd. 2 in Millward
South Township. The school
was built in 1912. 1936 was
the last year that classes
were held and the building
burned from a lightening
strike in 1942. In 1925
there were 40 students, two
teachers and a janitor.
In the early years there
was a logging camp in
the area that had a cook
named Anna. She was very
slow in serving food. As a
result the area was called
Slow Anna, which evolved
into Solana.
Today Millward Township
has three registered voters.
There are no commercial
buildings in the township.
All shopping calls are long
distance, and it is 35 miles
to town.
Freeman Ronhovde lived in
a growing modern community that simply disappeared.
“We had a large Soo Line Depot with two passenger trains
a day, a hotel, feed store,
grocery store and a post office,” he remembers.
“Our school was a large
two-room school with a
had a box with a canvas top
with wheels in the spring
and fall and sled runners in
the winter.
“My dad, Iver Ronhovde
drove bus and we lived two
miles from the school but I
traveled about ten miles a
day as my dad wanted company, so I had to ride the
whole route.”
In 1936 there was a huge
forest fire. Some called
it the Moose Lake fire
and some called it the
Freeman Ronhovde Dad’s Corner fire. The fire
threatened the school and

John Herubin, a current
resident of Solana who also
lived there during the 1930s
explained, “Solana’s economy was based on the logging industry. The pine had
been cut during the early
part of the century but there
was still plenty of original
growth birch, oak, spruce
and tamarack. Everybody
logged or worked in a sawmill.”
Ester Herubin Kubat tells
about riding the Soo Line. “I

got a job at the Café in Moose
Lake and I was able to ride
to Moose Lake on the Soo
Line coach. I would stand in
the middle of the tracks and
wave a red flag. The engineer
would give three toots on the
whistle and that meant that
they would stop for me. My
younger brothers and sisters
would walk to the train stop
with me and then they would
all cry when I got on the
train. At work I was called
the Soo Line Kid.
“The thing I remember
about school was that when
we needed to go to the bathroom, we were required to
raise our hand and extend
two fingers. Then the teacher
would nod his head and we
would be excused.”
Chester Robinson also attended Solana School, “I
went there when there were
not enough students to keep
White Pine school open. I
had a long way to go and
I walked some of the time.
My hot lunch was a potato
that was baked on top of the
furnace. I remember sitting
in class and listening to the
put, put, put of the old gas
engine that was continually
pumping water.”
Carol Simonson stated, “I
attended Solana for the first
grade. My mother drove the
school bus. In the winter
we had a wood stove in the
back of the sled-bus to keep
us warm. We had to be careful so that we did not get
burned.”

Carol continued, “There
was a little red school house
located near our home (Co.
Rd. 2 and Co. Rd. 34); however it burned in 1918. My
mother, Edna Thompson
Simonson attended this small
school from 1902 to 1910.
She walked to school with
her collie named Pal. In the
later years they would get
there early and build the fire
and had the school warm
when the teacher came. The
collie got to lie under her
seat while classes were being
conducted. It was against the
rule for Mary’s lamb to be at
school. Lassie was required
to wait outside the school
fence, but at the little red
school near Arthyde, Pal was
exposed to the three Rs.”
