EMBARRASS TOWN BOARD NEWS Town of Embarrass

Regular Meeting - October 7 (&21), 2015 -Pending Approval-

Present: Gene Wright, Zane Beaton, Diane Nelmark,

Roberta Pike

Visitors: James Orcutt, Roland Fowler, Diane Kehus,

Chris Kehus, Dominic Brownlee, Jennifer Coyle, John

Harju, Barb Harju, Paul Knuti, Carol Knuti, James

Nelmark, R’Milla Meyer, Michelle Fowler

Meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Gene

Wright with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Motion by Zane, Second by Gene to approve minutes of

September 2, 2015 meeting. Carried.

Motion by Zane, Second by Gene to approve September

2015 Treasurer’s Report. Carried.

Old Business:

At 6:05 p.m. Gene turned the meeting over to Zane to

moderate since Gene is a member of the Prospectors

Trail Alliance.

Prospectors ATV Trail Discussion. The trail is part of

a 253 mile trail that connects Embarrass to Tower,

Soudan, Babbitt, Ely and Lake County. The route that

is in question is the proposed route that would connect

Embarrass to the main part of the Prospectors Trail.

(Embarrass Old School Parking Lot, crossing Hwy 21,

following Hanka Nevala Rd to Hwy 26, then taking the

ditch of 26 & County Hwy 21 to Hayland Rd and out

to the trail.) The trail group would like to put signs on

the road indicating where the trail is to make the route

safer and provide insurance coverage for this portion of

the trail. Concerns of citizens included noise, dust,

sharp 90 degree corners being dangerous to riders.

Some residents along trail route didn’t feel they were

given proper notice of the proposed route, questions on

liability if someone drives off the trail onto private

property, concerns of dog walkers if ATV’s are present,

several near accidents recently between ATV’s and

other vehicles and vandalism/theft. Some citizens were

in favor of the route as Embarrass residents/visitors

don’t currently have access to an ATV trail without

trailering their ATV. Nick Wognam spoke on behalf

of the trail group trying to alleviate concerns and

explain the types of things the trail group may be able

to do to minimize some of the issues (i.e. dust, blind-

corners). Some questioned whether another route

would be less disruptive to local property owners.

Motion by Gene to allow the Hanka-Nevala Rd to be

signed and insured by the Prospectors Alliance Trail

Group. Motion failed for lack of second as Zane would

like to wait until all supervisors are present to vote on

the issue. Following discussion, it was decided to

recess the meeting (following remainder of regular

agenda business) until Wednesday, October 21, 2015

@ 6:00 p.m. when all supervisors could be present to

vote on signing and insuring the trail route.

There was a brief discussion of the Mesabi Trail route

decision that was approved at the September 2, 2015

meeting. A decision has not yet been made on where

the trailhead in Embarrass will be as that will be

determined after the entire route through Embarrass is

decided (including how the trail will be connected to

the campground).

Fireworks ordinance for Embarrass Township was

tabled for a future meeting.

Clerk updated the board on the Iron Range Attractions

Council Meeting she attended on September 9.

Benefits to the township for continuing to attend these

meetings would be to keep Heritage Homestead Tours

on the radar of other organizations in the Iron Range

Tourism Bureau area. Group advertising is already in

place and tours are mentioned. There may be

opportunities in the future to include our tours as part

of some group tours along with other attractions like

the Soudan Mine, Museum of Mining, local historical

societies, Hibbing School, etc. Motion by Zane, Second

FLYING FINN Page 4 NOVEMBER 2015 by Gene to have Diane continue attending Iron Range

Attractions Council meetings. Carried 2-0.

The board thanked Jim Nelmark for the work done on

the Little League Fence project. Thank you cards were

also sent to those who volunteered their time or

equipment to complete the job.

New Business:

Request to have a quilting class at the town hall. Board

will discuss rental fee when exact dates are decided.

The new Embarrass website is up and running. There

are still a few changes and additions to be made as time

goes on.

Clerk is waiting for an exact quote from Lake

Connections on the cost to the township for Fiber Optic

phone/internet service. Board will discuss when the

estimate is received.

Reports:

Maintenance: Mowing, fixed damage at Pyhala

homestead, fixed and cleaned gutters on town hall,

swept the bike trail, new flag pole at cemetery, cleaned

maintenance building and gas stove heater, closed up

campground, painted benches at ball field, installed

cellular booster at town hall, split wood and brought to

rink, removed mower deck on Cub Cadet so it can be

replaced, made appt. to have new tires put on the trailer

wheels. Paul questioned if work was planned at the

Pyhala Homestead – the board is still trying to find

contractors who work on historical buildings like this.

Roads: All roads were graded on September 17.

Campground: Cindy Koivisto may be interested in

returning to the campground in 2016. Motion by Gene,

Second by Zane to contact Cindy to let her know we’d

be interested in having her return for the season.

Carried 2-0.

Sisu: Painting of the Nelimark Garage should be

completed by Sisu volunteers by September 27. The

township has been asked to re-assess the paint situation

at the Nelimark House. The property inspection report

has stated that touchup paint is needed, but some feel

that the entire house should be repainted. The board

will take a look to see what is needed and discuss for

2016. The railing at the Nelimark House needs to be

replaced (will be added to the maintenance to-do list).

Request to stain and seal the railing instead of paint it.

Consent Agenda: Correspondence: At its September

1 meeting, the Fire Department decided to purchase a

new fire truck from Eveleth and discussed raising

contract rates by 3% for 2017 (previous discussions had

indicated rates could increase by 5%, so the town board

will take this into consideration when assigning the

2017 levy). Sam’s Club memberships will be renewed

with fees being paid by the employees who have

memberships.

Motion by Gene, Second by Zane to approve Claims &

Payroll (signed & filed). Carried 2-0.

Meeting recessed at 9:00 p.m. (to be reconvened

10/21/15 @ 6:00 p.m.)

Meeting reconvened at 6:00 p.m. on October 21, 2015

by Gene Wright.

Present: Gene Wright, Phil Hebl, Zane Beaton, Diane

Nelmark, Roberta Pike

Visitors: Ron Potter, Gary Skogman, Doug Nelson,

Paul Knuti, Tom Jacobsen, Barb Harju, John Harju,

Chris Kehus, Mickey White, Michelle Fowler, R’Milla

Meyer, Dan Meyer, Jen Coyle, Dominic Brownlee,

Ken Overton, Bonnie Theel

Everyone was presented with copies of the two

petitions that have been received by the board as well

as written comments received from a land owner. After

a brief explanation of the concerns discussed on

October 7, Gene turned the meeting over to Vice Chair

Phil Hebl stating he would abstain from voting due to

his membership with the Prospectors Alliance Trail

Group. As Phil was not in attendance on October 7, he

asked a few questions about insurance ($1M provided

by trail group), placing chloride on the road for dust

control (trail group will discuss) and speed limits

(township can post if necessary). Other questions that

arose were about signage (the DNR sign policy will be

followed, examples were given) and other route options

(i.e. east side of Hwy 21, but it was explained this is

mostly wetlands and not feasible, and the road shoulder

isn’t workable because it’s paved). It was mentioned

that roads which have trails on them, have signs to

notify ATV drivers that the trail is “shared with

highway licensed vehicles”. ATV’s must follow the

same rules (i.e. driving on the right side of the road) as

highway vehicles. Road maintenance was discussed

and the board indicated they may have to spend more

time and money on the road to keep the road in good

shape. Designated trails can be patrolled by DNR

Conservation Officers. There was a suggestion to try it

out for a year and see if any issues arise from increased

usage of the road by ATV’s. Motion by Phil, Second

by Zane to approve using Hanka Nevala Road as part

Page 5: THE FLYING FINN - Embarrass,  · PDF fileTHE FLYING FINN 7503 LEVANDER RD EMBARRASS, MN 55732 NOVEMBER 2015 ISSUE #344 Pancake Breakfast November 7; 8-11

FLYING FINN Page 5 NOVEMBER 2015 of the spur route (connection) to the Prospectors Trail

for a trail period of 1 year, to be revisited in the fall of

2016. Carried 2-0 (Gene abstained). Hanka Nevala

property owners requested letters be sent to them when

the item will be on the agenda. Letters will be sent to

those persons and anyone who signed the petitions in

2015. Motion by Phil, Second by Zane to have the

Prospectors Alliance Trail Group provide signage and

insurance and look into placing chloride on portions of

the road for dust control. Carried 2-0 (Gene

abstained). The board did indicate that the road needs

to be brushed whether a trail is there or not. Ron Potter

asked if it would be ok to sign the road in the Spring of

2016 because the Trail closes on November 1 (All ATV

Grant-in-Aid trails must close on or before November

1) – the board agreed to let them wait until Spring.

Gene returned as Chair at 6:57 p.m. to resume the

meeting.

An estimate was received from Aurora Electric for

several small projects that need to be completed at the

Town Hall, Information Center and Campground.

Three other electricians had been contacted as well, but

never returned phone calls. Motion by Gene, Second

by Zane to accept Aurora Electric’s quote to install 2

new outlets at the town hall, work on 2 fluorescent

lights at hall, install LED lights at Hall, Information

Center and Campground and replace one heater in the

shower house. Carried 3-0.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:00 p.m.

SAINT PAUL, MINN, Oct. 9, 2015 – Agricultural producers looking to solve natural resource problems on their farms will want to plan ahead and sign-up early for United States Department of Agriculture

can apply for NRCS programs which work best for your land.”

Applications for EQIP are accepted on a continuous basis, however, NRCS establishes application

vanilla and handcrafted items that would make lovely gifts.

A special feature this year has been the book room, with a great

assortment of Scandinavian Children Books, activity books and

historical books about our area. Sisu also has available

wonderful Finnish Glassware.

There will be music, laughter, lots of coffee and cider, good

friends visiting and a warm atmosphere for a quick getaway that

will remind you of days gone by. (Stop by and visit us…across

AGAIN, THANK YOU TO EMBARRASS FAIR RIDERS, SPECTATORS AND ALL WHO VOLUNTEER!

FINALITY

And now it’s time

To concentrate

And think of how

To seal our fate,

That has nothing

At all to do,

With what some call

A heaven’s view,

Which obvious

Is overblown,

Hardly a jot

Worthy to hone.

And I must say,

In that regard,

Such thoughts do have

Little reward,

Neither to those

Who sleep so sound,

Or to the ones

Still above ground.

MISJUDGMENT Quite shamelessly

I’d not believed,

That death was near,

Though many grieved

That nascent death

Started to show,

And dwindling life

Was sure to go,

For it did seem

It was late,

And our old friend

Would meet his fate,

When all at once,

His gaining breath,

Showed us he was

Resisting death,

For suddenly,

In one fell swoop,

Someone was sure,

They heard him poop.

But surely the

Most joyful sign,

Was when he grabbed

A glass of wine.
