Save the Brays rescues misunderstood mules BY RACHEL SCHMELTZER
Kym Garvey founded non-profi t Save the Brays Donkey Rescue in 2016. She and her volunteers have been dedicated to rescuing donkeys and mules, not only in Min-nesota but all over the country. Their mission is to “Rescue, rehabilitate, re-home and educate the public on the wonder-ful possibilities these longears offer.”
Before beginning this
organization Garvey worked as a veterinary technician, mostly with large animals, as well as working as an animal control offi cer and at a
small animal veterinary clinic. She now works full time at Architectural Woodworking, and her hobby and passion is run-ning the non-profi t.
Growing up with hors-es, she didn’t have any experience with donkeys until 2003 when she res-cued one in need. From there she said she, “fell in love with them, and I saw no one was focusing on just donkeys. There are several rescue places for other animals, but we are the only organization
dedicated solely to don-keys. I just love them and their personalities.”
In 2007, Garvey began her journey to help these animals. After many years of hard work and perseverance, and despite life’s set backs, in 2016 Save The Brays was founded. Originally located in Barnum, this last April they bought a farm outside of Milaca. There is plenty of land and outbuildings that

The old adage “Knee high by the Fourth of July” for corn is just that, old in today’s modern agriculture.
This year corn that was planted in late April or early May is mostly taller than knee high. However, the hot, dry weather had corn leaves curling during the day and in a holding pattern to pro-tect itself according to Roger Peterson, Field Sales Specialist with Gold Coun-try Seeds. Farmers who have irrigation are seeing a large benefi t this year.
Areas of Kanabec County received anywhere from 2-4 inches of rain Sun-day and Monday, offering some relief, but continued moisture will be of vital importance to crops throughout July.
CORN UNDER STRESSAccording to a Gold Country Seed
article, Purdue University research showed that if the corn plant is under signifi cant drought stress with con-tinual wilting for two weeks prior to silk emergence, yield potential can be reduced 3 to 4% per day.
If the stress continues during silking and pollen shed, a yield reduction of 8% per day could occur. If the stress continues after silking for a two-week period, yield potential could be reduced up to 6%.
“Corn will especially need adequate moisture in July during tasseling when the cob length is determined,” said Peterson. “The corn looks good on heavy soils, but is hurting on sandy soils.”

High School design phase
advances
BY KIRSTEN [email protected]
A core group of community mem-bers and Mora school staff toured other high schools, shopping for ideas and inspiration to infl uence what the new Mora High School may look like.
These tours and conversations with engineers and architects will infl uence the basic design of the school which will be presented to theschool board in August.
After this design phase, blueprints and bid specifi cations will be createdwith construction expected to begin in May 2021.
Construction of the new Mora High School addition at the Trail-view campus is not expected to be fi nished until summer of 2023.
The new high school will fi rst hold classes in September 2023.

Tower Bar expandsoutdoor seating;liquor sales jump
BY KIRSTEN [email protected]
“Sales are through the roof,” said Tower Bar Manag-er and Ogilvie City Clerk Heather Heins.
Ogilvie’s municipal bar and grill has walked a fi ne line between profi t and loss over the last few years, but demand for off-sale liquor during the COVID-19 pan-demic has made the last few months rather profi table. In May, the liquor store’s revenue exceeded expenses by $4,208.
Heins noted demand has been so high, some beer and wine have become a little diffi cult to keep stocked including a popular beer with locals: Busch Light.
The Tower Bar has expanded its outdoor patio seating, although plans to build a shelter to cover it, shielding patrons from sun and rain, is still in the permitting process.
The city approved spending up to $5,000 on a shel-ter. Since the City of Ogilvie does not have it’s own building inspector, it contracts with the City of Mora for building inspection services. Ogilvie submitted a request for a commercial building permit in order to construct a shade structure. Before approving the permit to build, Mora requested more information be provided specifi cally questions about potential capaci-ty changes and requested certifi ed building plans.
The Ogilvie Fire Department has been using its tanker to fi ll back-yard swimming pools. A new rate for non-city water customers within the Ogilvie Fire District was approved: $30 up to 1,000 gallons and $3 per 100 gallons after that.
Ogilvie was awarded a $600,000 grant from the Small Cities Development Program which is designated to be used for waste-water treatment plant improvements.

125 owners aff ected by buff er lawBY TERRY SALMELA
“Initially it was a huge con-cern,” said Deanna Pomije, Kanabec Soil and Water Conser-vation District Manager on how the Minnesota Buffer Law would affect farmers and landowners. The preliminary assessment of how far Kanabec County is in compliance with the law has gone well said Pomije.
She said that 73 percent of Kanabec County lands adjacent to public waters are in compli-ance while 74 percent of Min-nesota counties are 60-100 per-cent compliant with the state’s bipartisan water quality buffer initiative. “We are lucky that a lot of our land adjacent to these waters already has grass and hay. However, landowners need to understand that if it is ever tilled that it will need a buffer.”
The Minnesota Buffer Law which was passed in 2015 and amended in 2016 requires land-owners with land adjacent to public waters or lakes to have a 50-foot vegetative buffer and those adjacent to a public drain-age ditch to have a 16 1/2 foot vegetative buffer for better wa-ter quality.
Pomije said that 125 letters were sent to Kanabec County

125 YEARS AGO (1895) On Saturday last the writer
in company with his wife and sister and Auditor Rines, visit-ed the booming city of Sand-stone, Pine County. Arriving there we were taken in tow by Dr. Cowan and piloted to the Sandstone House for dinner.
After dinner the Doctor showed us his new drugstore which we would say is a model drugstore and amply meets the
requirements of the village. We then took a walk about town and through the far-famed quarries.
The quarries were alive with men drilling and blasting out rocks of all dimensions. We were told that the mill
with the diamond saws would be started shortly and when they are the output will be greatly increased.
At the quarries we were shown a large babbling spring of sparkling cold water from which the town will be sup-plied by an excellent system of water works.
The Eastern Minnesota R. R. Co., is doing a large amount of work at Sandstone in the way of building a 20 stall round house and yards for their trains.
100 YEARS AGO (1920)Next Sunday will be a big
day for the Swedish Lutheran Church of Brunswick. At 2 P.M., that day, the impressive ceremony of the laying of the corner stone will take place.
The Rev. J. E. Linner of St. Paul will offi ciate, assisted by the pastors from Cambridge, Athens, Braham and Dalbo. If weather and road condi-tions are favorable there will perhaps be a gathering larger than any that previously have come together for an impres-sive ceremony in Brunswick. Friends from practically the whole Cambridge district have expressed their intention of attending. Naturally, we expect all friends of Brunswick and Mora to attend and we want all who read this notice to look at it as an invitation to attend.
Monday, July 5th: Carl Laemmle offers Locklear, the Daredevil of the Skies, in “The Great Air Robbery.” You will jump from your seat when Locklear jumps from plane to plane to foil a bandit of the skies who robbed the U.S. air mail. There’s only one thrill in it and that one lasts from start
to fi nish. Continuous show starting at 3 P. M. to 1 A.M. Everybody Welcome at the American Theatre
75 YEARS AGO (1945)The Dalbo Creamery Compa-
ny building was destroyed by a fi re which started about 1:15 o’clock Sunday afternoon, the origin of which has not been reported to this newspaper. The Cambridge fi re depart-ment arrived in time to save other buildings nearby. The creamery building and all the equipment were completely destroyed.
After the insurance adjust-ments have been made the owners, R. W. Stonestrom and Robert Wendberg, plan to rebuild, as they have a fi ne business in the Dalbo commu-nity, the Isanti County News reports. They are now hauling their milk to the Isanti Cooper-ative Creamery Co. The Isanti
plant is at present almost run-ning at capacity, but is putting forth extra effort to help out in this crisis.
50 YEARS AGO (1970)Mora will have its Dala horse
— and it may have a tourist information center, too! Mayor Robert H. Anderson said this week that the Kanabec County Agriculture Society held a special meeting Friday night and gave its approval to have the horse located on the fair-grounds.
Mora Jaycees will build the steel horse which will be approximately 20 to 25 tall on property located just south of the Arthur town hall on the fairgrounds. Some dirt has already been hauled in for the leveling process; a huge ce-ment slab will be installed as a base for the horse. It is expect-ed that work will commence as quickly as a project can be
organized and plans are to have it completed yet this fall.
25 YEARS AGO (1995)Mora Independent School
District 332 has received an offer of $60,000 from a pro-spective buyer interested in purchasing the old creamery building, and members of the school board voted last Thurs-day to accept the offer.
John McBroom, superinten-dent of Mora Public Schools, informed members that Intrep-id Development Corp.--- which he described as an extension of local businessmen Mike and Pat Gorham --- is willing to purchase the building in its current condition, provided it receives assistance from the city of Mora through tax-incre-ment fi nancing (TIF).
The Ralph Bell Crusade visited Mora last week. The crusade was hosted by Dr. Ralph Bell, an evangelist, and consisted of music, fellowship, and lecture. Nightly sessions began at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, in the Mora Civic Center, and were open to the public, free of charge. The goal of the event, as stated by staff and organizers, was to invite people to “Come and let the love of Christ touch your heart.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Parched for joy, rain brings
relief, hopeA
t the grocery store the other day, I asked a woman how she was doing. Consider-ing I barely know her, I was met with surprising honesty.
“I’m having a hard time fi lling my cup,” she told me. I think that has been true for many of
us in these times when we are more thirsty than ever and our usual sources of fulfi llment has run dry.
The Earth itself let out a sigh of relief when Sunday’s rain came. After the fl oods in July 2018 and 2016, I didn’t think I could ever want for rain again.
Over the last month my thirst for a storm grew as I watched yards and crops begin to crisp.
Now the parched crops, lawns, gardens and wetlands are fi nally soaking up the goodness of a long, slow rain.
Relieved, I felt my own cup fi lling as well. I will admit I am worried. In my mind, this summer was supposed to
be the time to catch our breath, soaking up sunshine and build our stores of joy, steeling ourselves for what would have been the “second wave” of COVID-19 cases in the fall.
As an American I am embarrassed to see the United States hardly saw any relief from it’s fi rst wave of COVID-19 cases when they began to climb again. As of to-day, the COVID-19 has killed 128,000 Ameri-cans.
That is more Ameri-cans than died during the Korean war, Vietnam War and 9/11 attacks all put together.
We screwed up our response to this threat. Instead of nipping this in the bud, we’ve drawn out our suffering. We missed the bud, grabbed that rosebush by the thorns and have refused to let go because we’ve somehow tied it to politics.
Yes, I worry. I am fearful of what may lie ahead, but I am also hopeful.
I am doing what I can to steel myself for diffi -cult times ahead, and trying to help others.
Last weekend, we celebrated a birthday with a visit to the cabin, complete with butterfl y catching, bubble blowing and birdwatching.
Sunday morning, as the kids ate breakfast, I sat outside sipping coffee, watching belted kingfi shers dive for minnows and saw a pair of cedar waxwings constructing their nest.
I soaked up those moments of peace and joy like the Earth is soaking up this rain: making use of the good when it comes and bracing for the times we will be tested.
Have hope. Be grateful for the joy you can fi nd, and don’t
miss any opportunity to fi ll your own cups.

Outdoor seating adds excitement to townTo the editor,
As you all know, our small-town businesses, bars and restaurants have been hit hard by COVID-19. One of the cool things that the city of Cambridge is doing is providing the local bars/restaurants with outdoor seating.
On 2nd Ave SE, the city has allowed Sidelines Sports Grill and Chapala Mexican Grill to take up the north lane of the street so that they may have space for outdoor seating.
Willard’s has outside seating and the Cambridge Bar and Grill has added an outdoor area in its alley. Not only does this additional seating aid these wonderful local businesses, it adds new excitement and vitality to the city of Cam-bridge.
Even over lunchtime, people are sitting outside enjoying our very beautiful, but brief, summer weather.
So, Mora, show us your outside seating. See how creative your city
council can be in assisting local bars and restaurants. Let’s turn this summer around and add some life to our beloved small towns.

Missing church: What will it take to reopen?To the editor,
I miss Sunday church services. I miss the socializing that comes with a real, live Sunday service. I miss the singing and sermons. I miss the stained-glass windows and the hardwood pews. I miss the well-worn hymnals and I even miss, like most kids, the coffee and cookies after the service.
I miss church. Aren’t we ever going to return
to traditional Sunday church services; services canceled merely because of the non-ending threat of a potential coronavirus outbreak?
You’re kidding me, right?The majority of us have become
sniveling cowards. We sit at home and worry about the next corona
outbreak. But wait, how many of us died from that fi rst wave? It makes me wonder just how much we should be worried.
I think it is time to take action and do something to correct this situation. We’ve been dutifully sending our weekly offerings to the church of our choice and, in re-turn, we get to see an online video of a pseudo-service. I dont know about you, but I feel slighted.
Will we have to stop our fi nan-cial support in order to get our churches to re-open?
Had you hired a roofi ng com-pany to shingle your roof and all you received was a video of them shingling a roof, you wouldn’t pay them. If you hired a paving compa-ny to pave your driveway and all you got was a video of them paving a driveway you wouldn’t pay them.
Do we have to stop contributing until we get our church and our religious freedoms back?
Remember the old saying: If you’ll accept second best you’ll be sure to receive it.

Summer baseball steps up to the plateBY JAYSON PAUTZKE
With the Minnesota Department of Health giving clearance for baseball to begin games amateur baseball across the state of Minnesota is in full swing.
The Mora Blue Devils have gotten fi ve games in to this point and are ready to begin Eastern Minny League action. The Blue Devils com-peted in the Hinckley Invitational Tournament June 27 - 28 and fi nished 2-1 bringing home third place honors.
Mora opened the tour-nament with a 4-0 victory over the Metro Knights. Derek Graves went all seven innings allowing
just four hits while strik-ing out 15 batters. Graves and Troy Jones led the way at the plate with two hits each.
The semi-fi nal op-ponent was the Elko Express. The Blue Devils had troubles against a tough Express pitcher and could only muster two hits. Bryce Norby and Wyatt Foss had the hits. Norby pitched well, but took the loss by a score of 5-0.
In the third place game Mora defeated Andover by a score of 3-0. Ryan VanSomeren and Logan Graves combined to hold the Aces to just one hit. Derek Graves had two hits while Greg Chmiel had one.

Summer is a great time to get outside and en-joy the nature we have in Minnesota, and many of us have hobbies that get us into the woods or onto the trails.
Think back to the last time you went hiking, horseback riding, biking, camping, ATV riding or whatever it is you like to do outside – did you remember to clean your equipment, clothes or pets before heading home or off to your next adventure? It may not be on your radar yet, but invasive plants can be spread accidentally as we recreate.
Invasive plant species move into our local eco-systems disrupting them and outcompet-ing the native plants. This impacts wildlife that rely on those native plants for food and habitat. Invasive plants are problem-atic in many ways, including increasing erosion, damaging infrastructure and being harmful or toxic to wildlife, pets or humans.
You may or may not recognize the plants you pass by, but there’s a good chance some of them are invasive. When we hike or ride through an area with invasive plants, seeds and pieces of plants can get stuck in mud in your bicycle treads, on or in your shoes and clothes or on your pet’s fur. By hitch-hiking along with your equipment, seeds of invasive plants can be moved to uninfested areas.
You can make a difference to prevent the spread of inva-sive plants. Cleaning equipment, pets and clothes before leaving an area are simple methods that can have a big impact on preventing the spread of invasive plants. And leave those ‘wildfl ower’ bouquets where you fi nd them. You wouldn’t want to purposely carry invasive plants back to your house.
PlayCleanGo.org (https://info.playcleango.org/how-to-prevent-invasive-species) has great resources and information about stopping the spread of invasive species and helps you learn what you can do, including using a boot brush, washing equipment, cleaning pets, picking seedsoff of clothes, sweeping out the RV or tent before leaving and spraying down vehicles, trailers andbikes with water or compressed air.
Besides preventing the spread of noxious weeds and invasive plants, we can also prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species by clean-ing boating and fi shing equipment, and stop forest pests by not moving fi rewood.

Protect plants with these July gardening tipsBY TERRY SALMELA
MN EXTENSION KANABEC COUNTY MASTER GARDENER
The garden may be planted but there is much more to do.
Consider these yard and garden reminders and tips for July from the Minnesota Garden-ing Calendars from past years.
MOW HIGH FOR A HEALTHY LAWNRaise the height of
your lawn mower blade to three inches or more. Higher grass blades will protect plant crowns and roots from heat stress by shading them and encourages deeper root growth.
WATERING PLANTS AND LAWNSWater landscape plants
and lawns in the morn-
ing when the tempera-ture is cool and air is calm. This will minimize evaporation and allow leaf surfaces to dry. Ken-tucky Blue Grass is a cool season grass that goes dormant when the soil conditions become hot and dry. If it dries up, it will come back in the fall when the temperatures are cooler and there is more precipitation.
KEEP TOMATOES HEALTHYMulch the soil and wa-
ter at the base of tomato plants to minimize soil-borne disease organisms from splashing onto the lower leaves. As soon as tomatoes set fruit, thin the lower leaves and suckers to improve airfl ow and reduce the severity of leaf spot diseases.

Bill Olen farms with son Lucas east of Mora. They grow corn, soy-beans, oats, sunfl ow-ers and hay. Bill said, “Spring was perfect for planting and it was followed by timely rains. Corn is knee high now, but it sure needs a drink of water this week. The best ever corn that I can remember was shoulder high on July 6th.”
Don Olson who also farms with sons Paul and Eric east of Mora raise 700 acres of corn, 700 acres of soybeans and 60 acres of sunfl owers. Don showed his best corn was chest high on June 27.
“With adequate rain-fall, it should have been shoulder high by now,” said Don. “However, on sandy soils it is hurting and the leaves look like pineapple leaves during the day. The leaves are tightly curled and light colored and have not used nitrogen due to the lack of rainfall to move it in the soil. Where there is clay soil corn is not as stressed.”
Following Sunday, June 28, rain of approxi-mately 2 inches in Mora, Don added, “What a rain we just had — takes the pressure off for at least a few days.”
SMALL GRAINS SITTING TIGHTSoybeans have also
just been sitting there according to Peterson. They need one-third as much moisture as corn. However, August is the most critical time when soybeans need adequate moisture during fl ower-ing. Moisture at that time has the most infl uence on determining yields.
If this dry weather con-tinues insects could be a problem. Peterson ad-vised scouting for aphids in soybeans the fi rst two weeks in July.
Olson’s soybeans were looking pretty good, but leaves were curling during the daytime.
“Small grains do not like it hot and dry at this time of the year when they are heading out,” said Peterson. He predict-ed that farmers can look for lower yields in oats, wheat and barley.
Olen said that his small grains are headed out. He predicted that if it does not rain that his oats will be light in test weight and lower yield-ing.
MAKING HAYThe fi rst crop hay was
pretty good. However, second crop growth is drying and badly needs water. Potato leaf hop-pers could be a problem in second crop alfalfa and will need spraying said Peterson.
Olens fertilized their hay ground early this year to increase yield and got the fi rst crop up without any rain on it.
However, it really needs rain now for regrowth.
“I even cut some hay when rain was in the forecast to try to get it to rain,” add Bill. “There are two things in farm-ing that we cannot con-trol. One is prices and the other is the weather.”
This is the second year that Olsons have grown sunfl owers. They truck the sunfl owers to Pierz to be crushed into sunfl ow-er oil which is used in their Smude’s microwave popcorn. “Sunfl owers are not stressed at all. They like these hot and dry conditions and can be grown on the poorest soils,” he added.
MODERN METHODS PAY OFFOlens have been ex-
perimenting with no-till planting for four years. They no-till plant soy-beans into corn stubble using a Yetter no-till cart with ripple coulters attached to a Case IH soybean drill. They also plant their oats into soy-bean stubble.
Bill thinks that they are benefi ting now during this dry weather by having some crop residue on the ground surface that helps to hold moisture in the soil. They like their no-till drill because it places the seed at a consistent depth in the trench. They tried rolling soybeans this spring when they were two to three-inches high to pack in rocks and make the ground smooth-er for soybean combining in the fall. They hope that rolling at an early stage of growth will give them some extra shoot growth and increased soybean yield.
Olsons are also exper-imenting with no-till planting. They also use another modern farming system called precision agriculture. They hire an agronomist from a company who soil sam-ples their fi elds.
The agronomist uses computer analysis that combines information from several sources to make recommendations for fertilizer rates and seed populations for each part of each fi eld. Those sources of fi eld informa-tion include: the soil test results, satellite imaging of soil typing throughout each fi eld and the com-bine yield monitor data from the previous year’s harvest.
Recommendations
based on this informa-tion is then given to the Co-op’s fertilizer applica-tor to apply fertilizer at variable rates through-out the fi eld. It is also put into the tractor computer that controls their new 12 row Case IH planter.
The planter then applies seed at variable rates in each part of each fi eld based on the yield potential for that part of the fi eld.
For example, the corn seeding rate in one area of a fi eld might be 35,000 plants/acre and in anoth-er spot in the same fi eld it could change to 26,000 plants/acre. Fertilizer and lime application rates also vary from one part of the fi eld to the next.
Their agronomist also scouts for weeds and tells them when and what to spray for weed control. They apply a pre-emer-gent treatment and a post-emergent treatment as needed.
He said that anoth-er time when satellite imaging really paid off was when it showed something was wrong in one fi eld. They went and looked and discovered that the area was full of weeds due to an earlier sprayer malfunction. So, they were able to spray and reseed the area.
While not technically a drought, the spring and summer of 2020 has been abnormally dry, slowing local crop growth of both corn and soybeans. Crops planted in clay soils have held their own, but crops planted in sandy soils have slowed growth.

Managing Withdrawals Carefully Can Protect Retirement IncomeBy Edward Jones — Edward Jones Financial Advisor

Financial FocusFinancial Focus
Throughout much of your working life, you contribute to your 401(k), IRA and other
investment accounts to help ensure a comfortable retirement. However, once you do retire,
you’ll need to shift your focus somewhat from building these investments to using them
– in other words, you’ll have to start withdrawing from your portfolio to meet the costs
of living. How can you be sure you’re not taking out so much that you risk outliving your
resources?
First of all, you need to establish a proper withdrawal rate – the percentage of your
portfolio’s value needed for one year’s worth of retirement expenses. Ideally, if you were to
stick with this rate, your portfolio would last as long as you do. Your withdrawal rate should
be based on a number of factors, including your age, amount of assets, portfolio mix and
retirement lifestyle. A fi nancial professional can help you determine the rate that’s right for
you, but it’s important to understand that this rate is a starting point since you will want to
review your withdrawals each year to ensure they are still appropriate.
If the fi nancial markets performed smoothly and predictably, year in and year out, any
adjustments you make would likely be more modest. But, as you know, and as we’ve all
been reminded the last several months, the markets are neither smooth nor predictable.
Rather than constantly trying to change your withdrawal rate and spending in response
to movements in the markets – which may be challenging if you have grown accustomed
to a certain standard of living – you might be better off adopting a more conservative rate
at the beginning of your retirement. For example, if you are in your mid-60s, you could
start at a withdrawal rate of about 4%, which also assumes an increase in withdrawals
(a “raise”) of approximately 3% each year to incorporate infl ation. By starting at a more
modest withdrawal rate, you would have some fl exibility for those years in which the
market drops signifi cantly. And you could increase your chances of extending the lifetime
of your portfolio.
But even if you started out with a conservative rate, you may need to review it during
periods of extreme market movements. If, for instance, your portfolio were to fall 20% in
one year, the 4% you had planned to withdraw would actually become 5% because you’re
taking out the amount you had planned, but now it’s from a smaller pool of money. If this
happens, should you consider making an adjustment?
There’s no easy answer. The amount you withdraw from your portfolio has a major impact
on how long your money lasts. You’ll improve your likelihood of success if you are able to
be fl exible and make some spending adjustments – spending less on some of your discre-
tionary items, for example, or not taking a “raise” until your portfolio recovers. Importantly,
your fi nancial advisor can help run diff erent scenarios to determine if adjustments need to
be made to ensure you remain on track.
In any case, think carefully about your withdrawal rate. By managing it carefully, and
reviewing it over time, you can take greater control over your retirement income.
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, your fi nances will be hard to corral until you get a fi rm grasp of your spending and saving patterns. It is easy to fi nd yourself into fi nancial quicksand, so act soon.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Career concerns have been on your mind lately, Taurus. It may seem like the oppor-tunities you thought were out there have vanished. Oppor-tunity is there if you look.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21The desire to make big chang-es in your life may not be possible right now, Gemini. Rather, focus on small things you can change immediately and easily.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Insecurity about the future could put a bit of a damper on daily life, Cancer. No one really knows what is around the corner, so try to take things one day at a time.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23It may be time to have a heart-to-heart conversation with someone you deeply care about, Leo. You may need to surround this person with positivity right now.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, a shock will hit you midweek. An event unfolds in a way you did not anticipate, and you must go with the fl ow. Things will settle down soon enough.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Hitting a creative wall can certainly derail your plans, Libra. But only if you let it. Instead, enlist the help of oth-ers for some creative inspira-tion that can put you back on track.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22You may fi nd it very chal-lenging to see eye-to-eye with someone close to you. It’s easy to let things escalate. Agree to disagree and recog-nize you each have a point.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, professional mat-ters may require further inves-tigation this week. If you de-sire stability, it may be time to fi nd a different career path.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Finding time to do something for yourself can be tough when everyone seems to be relying on you. But you have to set aside moments for per-sonal pampering, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, count your bless-ings in the days ahead. Do-ing so will help you look at things through a new per-spective that will help you in the short- and long-term.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20You may reevaluate your plans when a bit of shocking news comes your way, Pi-sces. The nature of this news is positive, so look forward to it.

The church can do more than watch history happenJ
ames Joyce said of history that is, “a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.” And the history that is unfolding around us does feel like a
nightmare. There is so much in
this world that makes me feel powerless like political corruption, racial injustice and the systems that not only allow for oppression but sometimes activity encourages it. And all that was before COVID-19.
I feel helpless with every number the news puts out such as the
rates of job loss, hospitalization and death. The last month that boiled over
rage against police brutality against black and brown people, the rioting, the militarized law enforcement upon its citizens and the incompetence of politi-cal leaders to rise to the moment left me trying to shake myself awake without any relief.
I mean I’m only one guy, I get distract-ed easy and I’m really busy with my kids so I feel like the only thing I can do is scroll through the news and social media. But that is a lie.
History is not happening to us. Many of our founders were pompous white slave holders but they knew the great-est lesson: they don’t know everything. So, they left ways for what they passed to be corrected.
When leaders refuse to listen, a collec-tive voice must emerge from the streets and be revealed in the ballot box.
History is not happening to the Chris-tian church either.
Yes, there are great forces working in this world but all of them are tem-porary. The good news of Jesus Christ is that every form of evil, injustice and oppression that present themselves whether as COVID-19, racism, corrup-tion and even death itself will not last.
As a church we must treat this acute but temporary condition by grounding ourselves in Christ’s teaching, opening ourselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and using our agency in the dem-ocratic process.
The way forward must not be a road map back to the way things used to be, but of faithfully discerning current situations, and responding accordingly.
There will not be peace in our land without drastic change and systemic changes. Those changes start with eachof us. You and I don’t need to let his-tory wash over us as we scroll on our phones. We can pray. We can vote. We can change.

Kym, her family, and volunteers have been working hard at restor-ing to create a haven for the donkeys.
Working alongside Kym is her husband Don-ovan, and her children Trinity, Raven and Josh (oldest son Anakin lives in Washington state). Other volunteers include her board members: daughter Trinity Wilson, vice president; Verlena Jones, secretary; Susan treasurer; Gale, event coordinator. Additionally there is head volunteer Dan O’Neil and several others who come regular-ly. Volunteers are always welcome, and there is plenty to be done.
Save the Brays accepts all types of donkeys whether they be mini, standard, mammoth or
mules. Most animals come to them through owner surrender, mean-ing the owner has come to the realization they cannot care for the ani-mal properly and want to give it a better life.
Garvey said, “Nine-ty-nine percent aren’t handled, or have severe hoof neglect. Most often this is not intentional, but lack of education.” Once they get to the farm the donkeys are gelded to help reduce unwanted populations. They are then cared for and trained with the hopes of being adopted out to another family. And many of them are. There are a few who are not considered adoptable due to some behaviors, so they remain with Garvey and her family as person-al pets.
Save The Brays does
charge a fee for adopting a donkey, and that money goes back into caring for the animals. As a non-profi t they also rely on donations, which Gar-vey requests through her Facebook page. When asked how it is going, es-pecially being new to the area, Garvey responded,
“Well, asking for help is humbling, and right now with everything happening, it’s hard to ask people for money. But anytime we do, the people are great. They really respond positively, and what amazes me the most is how many young people are willing to help too.”
Save The Brays will be hosting an Open House on Sunday, Aug. 16. The time is yet to be deter-mined, but will be posted on their Facebook page. It will be an opportunity to come check out the farm, meet the donkeys, enjoy some good food, and become educated about caring for these animals.
For more information check out their Facebook page Save The Brays Donkey Rescue, or the website savethebrays.org.

LOW INTEREST RATES SAVE TAXPAYER DOLLARS
Greg Crowe from Ehlers, Inc., the school district’s municipal fi nancial adviser, said he “felt like Santa Claus” on June 25 with a gift of good news to the Mora School Board: tax payers will be saving some sig-nifi cant cash.
Before the referendum vote, Crowe estimated
the interest rate on bonds would have been 3.4%.
Interest rates are lower than initially anticipated and the school awarded the sale of bonds at an interest rate of 1.99%.
Over the life of the 20-year bond, this will reduce payments made by approximately $10 million. Some of that is money the district would have received via state aid; the impact on district taxpayers is $5.5 million less than origi-nally anticipated.
This also gives the school district a $1.25 million of “cushion” in building project costs.
Taxpayers will begin making these payments for taxes payable in 2021.
