Turning 93 is not an every day occurrence and neither is receiving $93 with the instructions to help others. For Elaine Zwickey who just turned 93 years young, this year seemed like the perfect opportunity to give her rela- tives and friends this once-in-a-life-time chance. To celebrate her birthday she did something diferent. She wanted to spread good will and help as much as she could, especially during this difcult year of COVID-19 challenges. While reading a magazine she read about a woman who had sent out $75 to others on her 75th birthday with the instruc- tions that they should pass the funds on to someone who truly needed them. Zwickey decided that for her 93rd birthday, she would do the same. Friends and relatives were sent $93 checks by Zwickey on her birthday with the instructions that they should share the money with someone else who was hurting. COVID-19 has caused massive increases in unemploy- ment. In April of 2020 the United States unemployment rate bottomed out at 14.8%, a low that hadn’t been reached since the end of World War II. Changing social distancing practices and COVID-19 safety precautions have decreased the numbers of unemployed or furloughed workers in the United States. The financial impact of unemployment and the pandemic is still being felt by many. This is what Zwick- ey wanted to help with by sending out her $93 checks. Her hope is that others will do the same. Some recipients shared the funds with teachers to help support students and classrooms. One person went to the electric company and paid someone’s outstanding utility bill. Joanna Engstrom thought what Zwickey was doing was so extraordinary that she called the newspaper ofce when she got her own $93 to share. As far away as Washington, funds sent by Zwickey were being used to help those in need. A relative in Washington helped someone they had seen standing on a corner needing help by taking them into a store. With the help of the $93 sent by Zwickey this person purchased necessary supplies. “I have gotten a whole lot of satisfaction out of doing MIKE DRAHOSH | PINE COUNTY COURIER this,”said Zwickey. She has hopes that by sharing her story others will be encouraged to reach out and help people who may be struggling during these difcult times of pandemic Lights, power, transformer and isolation. The story Zwickey wanted to share was not of her own Moose Lake Power should be running on regular power soon.

SANDI BIRD | BARNUM PUBLIC SCHOOLS Three goals for Winter Survival day: Stay warm, dry, have fun

Barnum 7th grade life science students continued an annual school tradition that has been going on for the past 35 years. On Feb. 17, the students participated in a mock winter survival day. The students used knowledge that they had learned from in class activities about winter survival, how to treat and recognize hypothermia, dressing for the cold and learning fve ways the body loses heat and how to prevent them. Students formed survival groups and were required during the school day to build a shelter, build a fre, keep the fre going for the full school day, cook their noon meal, and complete a variety of labs and lessons throughout the day. Students learned how to use sticks and the sun to determine direction, determining snow and water content ratios of diferent types of snow, boiling eggs in papers cups and completing a scavenger hunt. Students had three goals: stay warm, stay dry and have fun.
