Congratulations, Elmer, and we hope you have a wonderful 100th birthday!
Some of Elmer’s favorites include-

Ever wonder what local agriculture looked like nearly a century ago? Northland Community and Technical College is teaming up with the University of Minnesota Crookston (UMC) to offer a close-up look at the 1937 sugar beet harvest as seen through the eyes of photographer Russell Lee. A gallery opening is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 9, at the Thief River Falls campus, with photos planned for display at both campuses as part of the college’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.

“The great thing about art is that each observer can interact and have a personal experience with it,” said Kirsten Michalke, Northland Dean of Workforce Development and exhibit organizer. “Some may relate to these photos by reminiscing about their family farm and evoke memories of grandparents. Others may wonder about the sheer vastness of the beet fields and the required manual labor to grow and harvest a crop. Through collaboration with the University of Minnesota Crookston, Northland selected these prints specifically to honor the migrant workers and their legacy during Hispanic Heritage Month, which coincides with our region’s beet harvest.”

“Roots of the Red River Valley” features more than 80 images by photographer Russell Lee, known for his work with the Farm Security Administration. The exhibit portrays three distinct points of view: the migrant worker, the farmer, and the factory.

“These photos are spectacular,” Michalke said. “Lee was a pioneer in the use of flash for indoor photography. Visually and artistically, photographers and artists will enjoy the composition of the photos. Personally, as someone who was raised on a farm, the photographs are representative of our agricultural history, and I am appreciative of the people, land, and equipment. By participating in Hispanic heritage activities this month, we can reflect on our connections to each other.”

The black and white images — selected from a collection at the Library of Congress — offer a uniquely intimate look at the diverse lives of early 20th-century ag workers and the importance of sugar processing to the Red River Valley. All photos were taken in Polk County near Fisher and Crookston, as well as at the first processing plant built in 1926 located in East Grand Forks, Minn.

“The beauty and quality of the photos entices the viewer to take a step back in time and reflect on our history and perhaps ponder over the present,” Michalke said. “As a community college, we need to be accessible and relevant to everyone in our community. Our schools, workplaces, and rural communities are becoming increasingly diverse. This art display is one way to bring people together and share in an experience.”

Gallery opening features a first-hand connection.

The gallery opening begins at 2:30 p.m. with refreshments, followed by a program featuring speakers from UMC and Northland beginning at 3:00 p.m. at Northland’s Thief River Falls Campus (Gunderson Commons). Honored speakers include Chancellor Mary Holz-Clause, the University of Minnesota Crookston; President Sandra Kiddoo, Northland Community & Technical College; and Kenneth Mendez, the University of Minnesota Crookston Postmaster.

Mendez, whose father and family are depicted in some photos, was the driving force behind securing Russell Lee’s exhibit for UMC. He also has an oral history recorded and transcribed from his father that he will be sharing at the event, connecting younger generations with some of the history of Chicanx roots in our region.

“I am thankful that these images are being displayed at Northland,” Mendez said. “Our family was brought to this region many years ago, and seeing the amazing photographs of Russell Lee brings into focus how labor-intensive the sugar beet harvest was in the 1930s.”

The post CROOKSTON HIGHSCHOOL SENIORS CRUISE TO THE 2024 POWDERPUFF CHAMPIONSHIP appeared first on KROX.

The Crookston Public School Board called a special meeting to order on Wednesday in the District Office Conference Room at Crookston High School in regard to approving bids for the Multi-Use complex.

The Board accepted six bids in the total amount of $3,162,760. Below, you can see each company awarded bids and the amount agreed upon-

-Richards Excavating received the bid for the earthwork of the complex in the amount of $1,250,500.

-Knife River Materials received the bid for asphalt paving in the amount of $249,231.

-Dirt Dynamics received the bid for the concrete work in the amount of $440,000.

-Four-foot-high fencing around the track and field and other complex items was awarded to Century Fence in the amount of $184,379.

-Molstad Excavating received the bid for the complex site utilities in the amount of $339,450.

-RBB Electric Inc. received the bid for lighting and electrical work in the amount of $749,200.

The total project estimated cost is approximately $30,000 lower than the previous estimation. “The school board is pleased with the bids because many of the items came less than they did in May and June,” said Superintendent Randy Bergquist, “The earthwork, for example, we had six companies that bid this time as opposed to one last time. So the bids came in more favorable.”

The Board has decided to hold off on a few items regarding bidding. These items are landscaping, bathrooms, concessions, and the scoreboard. “We decided to hold off on a few items, one being the landscaping,” said Bergquist, “This came in at approximately $84,000. One of the things we’re going to try to do as a district is reach out to local companies and see if they’re interested in pursuing the project.” The Board is looking for local companies to take bids first before accepting other entities

The Board decided to take no action for the bathroom installation because decisions are yet to be made about the design of the bathrooms and how many should be placed. The Board is also discussing the structure of six-foot-high fencing that will run around the perimeter of the complex. The plan is to have complete fencing surrounding the track and field area and the complex, similar to the UMC facility.

The Board also leans toward installing a video scoreboard at the new facility. “There’s been talks about adding a video scoreboard to the facility,” said Bergquist, “We could display advertising on it for various companies and organizations here in and out of town too. The idea of doing a video board is because it could be a great visual for fans and community members to see things and a great tool for companies to advertise for their business.”

The idea of allowing advertisements during sporting events to be displayed on the scoreboard will ultimately pay for the scoreboard within the next 5-7 years. The Board is looking to agree with Daktronics to initiate the scoreboard installation and payment plan.

A finance committee meeting will be in the next week to finalize thoughts and prices regarding the scoreboard and items not yet acted on. That meeting date is yet to be determined.
