UMC MEN’S BASKETBALL SIGNS TWO MORE JUCO TRANSFERS

uzo-dibiamaka

The University of Minnesota Crookston men’s basketball team announced the signing of Uzo Dibiamaka (G, 6-3 185, Adelaide, South Australia/Iowa Central C.C.) and Jerome Mabry (G/F, 6-3 194, Milwaukee, Wis./Northwest College (Wyo.). 

Uzo Dibiamaka (G, 6-3 185, Adelaide, South Australia/Iowa Central C.C.
Dibiamaka averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Iowa Central C.C. He shot 42.3% from the field, and 43.5 percent from beyond the arc. Dibiamaka was an 87.1 percent shooter from the charity stripe.
He played his freshman season at Western Texas College and attended high school at Second Baptist H.S. in Houston, Texas. He earned 2018 First Team All-Conference accolades.  “I have been following Coach Helle’s team for quite some time,” said Head Coach Dan Weisse. “I’ve always been intrigued by Uzo but the last five to six games he really showed what he can do. He is a long guard and that can stretch the floor and shoot it. He has a pull up game, and he showed he isn’t afraid of contact when he attacks the rim. Defensively he can guard multiple positions and can get deflections with his length. After talking to him on the phone, then having him up on his visit, I really was impressed with who he is and his humility. He is a team-first guy that is willing to do whatever is asked of him. Uzo comes from a terrific family and I’m very excited to welcome him to the Golden Eagle basketball family.”
His brother Uche Dibiamaka competed for Division I University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He is the son of Henry and Colleen Dibiamaka. He plans to major in business management.

Jerome Mabry (G/F, 6-3 194, Milwaukee, Wis./Northwest College (Wyo.)
Mabry averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game during his sophomore season at Northwest College. He shot 64.9 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from behind the arc. He was an Honorable Mention All-Conference selection. Mabry was also on the honor roll. 
“Jerome is a high character basketball player,” said Head Coach Dan Weisse. “He is a culture builder. A great athlete that doesn’t fit one position. He can play in the post or on the perimeter. He had the challenge of guarding the bigger players on his team last year. He is capable of that as well as guarding on the perimeter as well. He just finds ways to get things done. He played high school basketball for Ty Moseler, one of my all-time favorite coaches as he coached me a few years in high school many years ago. Jerome was well-coached under Coach Jay Collins at Northwest College as well. I am very excited to be able to coach Jerome as he will do whatever is asked of him. We talk about versatile players, he is as versatile as they come. I’m looking forward to having him in the Golden Eagle basketball family.”
He had a family member Malcolm Mabry who played basketball at Keiser University. Mabry plans to major in exercise science and wellness.

CROOKSTON’S KARSTEN ISAACSON AND STEPHEN-ARGYLE’S ZACH MCGLYNN HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN HIGH JUMPING

zach-mcglynn

Friendly competition is arising in northwestern Minnesota between two high-jumpers at area high school track and field meets this spring. Karsten Isaacson, senior at Crookston High School, and Zach McGlynn, senior at Stephen-Argyle Central High School go head-to-head at track meets to see who can jump higher. Two years ago, Karsten took first at sub-sections. Since then, Zach has grown more than a few inches and took first place at a meet on April 22, 2021. Through the years they have met both on the court and off at basketball games, community events, and track meets.

They have more in common than being outstanding high jumpers.  They also share a common genealogy. Their long and lanky bodies which work well for high jumps are similar to their shared ancestors, Elias and Lavinia Isakson who settled in Caribou Township in Kittson County, MN in 1903. Karsten is a great-great-grandson and Zach is a great-great-great-grandson (that makes them third cousins, once removed).

The families have always been close throughout the years. Through immigration papers, the spelling of the name changed to Isaacson. Elias and Lavinia had four children who settled in Lancaster, Minnesota. They had a son Isaac Isaacson who married Signe Hanson (Karsten’s great-grands) and was a mechanic in town. Isaac’s sister Isabelle married Ernest Ingebretson (Zach’s great-great grands) who was the Soo Line Depot Agent in Lancaster and they had four children including daughter Gerane who married a local farmer Hubert Nelson (Zach’s great grands).

Isaac and Signe had five children including Laverne Isaacson who worked for Gerane and Hubert on the farm.  Laverne would sometimes have to watch Gerane and Hubert’s five children which included Barbara who later married Kenneth Peterson (Zach’s grandparents) and they became teachers in the Lancaster School. Barbara and Kenneth had three children including Melanie who married Steve McGlynn (Zach’s parents) from Stephen, MN where they currently farm, and Melanie is a teacher in the Stephen-Argyle school.

Laverne Isaacson married Patricia Hubbard (Karsten’s grandparents) and they started farming east of Lancaster in 1962 where they raised their two children which included Karsten’s father Gregory Isaacson. Most of the above-named individuals graduated from Lancaster High School and were members of Sion Lutheran Church in Lancaster which is known for their summer Smorgasbord and fall lutefisk dinner.  Gregory married Kristen Gunderson (Karsten’s parents) and they now live in Crookston, MN where he serves as pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church.

Track meets this spring are a bit of a family reunion with many stories told that span the generations. As for the high jumpers? They’ll be competing all spring leading up to the subsection finals. Both graduate on the same weekend in May. Karsten will be attending the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for a degree in engineering. Zach will be attending North Dakota State University for a degree in Crop and Weed Science.

President Biden to order minimum wage hike to $15 for federal contract workers

tmpd5f6136a-18aa-480b-8624-1fd390f1af78-jpg

President Joe Biden signed an executive order Tuesday requiring federal agencies to pay contract workers a minimum wage of $15 per hour.  The order will affect hundreds of thousands of contractors, and comes weeks after Biden and Democrats in Congress attempted to raise the national hourly minimum wage to $15 as part of the American Rescue Plan. “

The White House said in a statement: “These workers are critical to the functioning of the federal government. This executive order will promote economy and efficiency in federal contracting … by enhancing worker productivity and generating higher-quality work by boosting workers’ health, morale and effort. It will reduce turnover, allowing employers to retain top talent and lower the costs associated with recruitment and training.”

Under the order, all federal agencies must pay contractors at least $15 per hour in new contracts by next April. The current minimum wage for federal contractors is $10.95 per hour and the tipped minimum wage is $7.65 per hour. The new executive order will also eliminate the tipped minimum wage for contractors by 2024; automatically adjust the minimum wage yearly due to rises in inflation, beginning in 2022; ensure a $15 minimum wage for federal contract workers with disabilities; and restore minimum wage protections to outfitters and guides on federal lands by revoking an order from former President Donald Trump.

CDC sets new mask guidelines: those fully vaccinated can stop wearing masks outdoors, unless in crowded settings

tmp6c074f6c-bd38-4f0e-a16f-2cbe14f003f2-jpg

On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidelines on outdoor mask-wearing, saying that those fully-vaccinated may engage in outdoor activities, including running, hiking, and walking—without a mask—if they are alone or with members of their household. Attending small outdoor gatherings and dining outdoors without a mask are also considered safe, federal officials said. It’s been long established that outdoor contact poses significantly less risk in the spread of COVID-19 than indoors. 

The guidelines also state, however, that in situations where crowds are likely and social distancing presents a challenge, masking, even if fully vaccinated, is still recommended. 

The updated guidance comes as nearly half of the country reports being vaccinated with at least the first dose. However public health experts also ask for caution, as vaccination rates have slowed, and some areas of the country continue to see surges of the virus and its new variants.

Kanye West’s Nike Air Yeezy 1s sell for record $1.8 Million

tmp2c1282ba-49ef-42d4-9cea-855e6c60da79-jpg

A pair of shoes worn by Kanye West during his performance at the 2008 Grammys just sold for a record 7-figure price. The prototype Nike Air Yeezy 1 brought in a whopping $1.8 million in a recent private sale, according to Sotheby’s. The $1.8 million sale price breaks the record for the most expensive pair of sneakers ever sold, nearly tripling the previous high of $615k for a pair of 1985 Nike Air Jordan 1s Michael Jordan wore when he broke a backboard during a preseason game in Italy.

Kanye famously wore the kicks, known as the “Grammy Worn” Nikes, at the 2008 Grammy Awards, when he performed “Hey Mama” and “Stronger.” Ye and Mark Smith designed the size 12 shoes, a combination of Nike and Yeezy signature brandings. There’s a classic Nike Swoosh, plus a Yeezy forefoot strap and a bright pink “Y” medallion lace lock.

INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR ASPHALT MIXING PLANT ON HIGHWAY 2 DENIED

polk-county-transfer-station-4

The Polk County Commissioners on Tuesday voted not to approve an Interim Use Permit for an asphalt batch plant and contractor yard at the intersection of U.S. Highway 2 and State Highway 220 east of East Grand Forks. The board acted on a recommendation not to approve the permit for R.J. Zavoral & Sons as was recommended by the Polk County Planning Commission and Polk County Zoning Administration.

Time is the key factor differing an interim use permit (IUP) from the more common conditional use permits (CUP) issued by the county explained Environmental Services Assistant Director Jake Snyder. “The main difference between interim use and conditional use is, an interim use permit is for a specific period of time,” said Snyder. “Interim is for interim usage for the time the applicant has submitted for. Conditional uses are site uses that you can use the site in that manner for the time – forever really – as long as you meet the conditions laid out within the permitting process. Meet all the conditions as far as existing land uses around it fit in harmony with it, all the things that go in the zoning ordinance.  IUPs and CUPs are very similar in nature, just that conditional uses can be sold, can be site uses as long as conditions are met. Interim use permits are for a subject of time. They are seen as more temporary uses. They aren’t transferrable. They are only for the applicant that submits an application. That’s why they are interim in nature.”

The recommendation noted the potential for beans at Thompsons USA bean processing plant to be contaminated by odor potentially costing the company millions of dollars in less than a week was the most alarming concern for staff and the Planning Commission. “It’s laid out in our ordinance as far as how a site use could have potential impacts for existing land uses,” said Snyder. “That was a big factor. We had received several comments, some of those comments were from residential properties and one was from a business property located near the site. They had a concern with product and the sell-ability of those products if this was in operation. The impacts that a site use could have always weigh in on the process and decision-making because of the standards and ordinance that specify – the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Commission, the Board of Adjust, shall consider whether a use fits in the existing land uses around it, doesn’t create potential nuisances, and lists those out quite specifically.”

More than a dozen comments were submitted during the process of considering the permit by affected parties, which Snyder said is how the system is designed. “The whole point of the process; and having rules and regulations is to get people involved in decision-making on the county level,” said Snyder. “We have no way of doing that other than the notices we put out in the mail. Notices go out to affected parties. They have a chance to comment on how this could potentially impact their current land uses. That takes weight in the decision-making process as it should.”

Commissioner Gerald Jacobson said while he is pro-business, and it’s a tough call, that with the surrounding people and the bean plant he had to make a motion to deny. Snyder said the final decision always comes down to the County Commissioners. “Always the decision-maker is the County Commissioners,” said Snyder. “All the factors were weighed in the whole process. Nothing was predetermined. Everything is based on everything we get as far as an application. We factor in all the comments that are received; letters that are written, and also do the public hearing portion. That’s all in the record of the decision-making process.”

CROOKSTON FFA RECEIVES SUPERIOR CHAPTER RATING, SIGNS CHARTER, COMPETES IN STATE

ffa-1

The new Crookston FFA Chapter is in the midst of a big two weeks as they compete in the State Convention. They also officially signed their Chapter Charter and received a ‘Superior Chapter Rating’ from the Minnesota FFA.

Advisor and first-year Ag teacher at Crookston Whitney Rupprecht said the students did amazing things to earn the chapter rating. “We were one of three chapters throughout the entire state selected to receive the ‘Superior Chapter Rating’ which is pretty phenomenal because this is our very first year,” said Rupprecht. “Students have been doing amazing things. We were one of the top chapters, which is really, really exciting that my students are doing some phenomenal things and are kicking butt, so I like it.”

The rare ‘Superior Rating’ is contributed not just to FFA involvement but academic success as well. “It was a lengthy application,” said Rupprecht. “We have to go through the National Quality of Program Standards which says how our chapter is meeting different academic standards. FFA is not just we go out and do something, we have some academics behind it and some knowledge to back it up. We had to prove we were meeting certain things like healthy lifestyles, chapter recruitment, academic status within our school, and different things. The state selects if we receive it and we were one of three, which is pretty amazing.”

The Chapter is also competing in the virtual state convention. “State convention would normally be this week, so we would travel down to the cities for three sleep-deprived days,” said Rupprecht. “Due to COVID, everything is virtual. We had the Conduct of Chapter meetings which I like to call baby parliamentary procedure. Victoria Proulx gave her prepared public speech on processed foods. We’re doing the food science contest. And final rounds for speaking and leadership development events. This week is all of our big contests like dairy evaluation, livestock evaluation, small animals, and so on.”

That isn’t all, the Chapter also completed a service project, and received completed the FFA Chapter Charter last week. “We’ve been collecting for the Care and Share – hygiene products as well as food,” said Rupprecht. “We had all five state officers as well as a national officer up here to essentially present us with our charter because we’re a brand-new school.”

The state officers attending the charter signing included three students at the University of Minnesota Crookston – Ben Olander (President), Elaina Knott (Treasurer), Laney Swiers (Sentinel). The other officers in attendance were Emilee Xayanourom (Vice-President) and Anna Euerle (Reporter). National FFA Southern Region Vice-President Artha Jonassaint also attended the chapter’s charter signing.
