Mara Pauling and Nicholas Brey named 2020-2021 Homecoming Queen and King
St. James Plaindealer
On Sunday afternoon, St. James High School finally crowned its homecoming king and queen for the 2021 graduating class in queen Mara Pauling, and king Nicholas Brey.
The homecoming ceremony, typically held in the fall, was originally planned for February 14, but due to COVID-19 quarantines, the ceremony was pushed back to the 28th. It was super unnerving because we would build up all of the nerves of who is going to get it, and then it s going to happen in February, said Brey. But then it was postponed to the end of February, so it was like are we even going to get it? And now that it s finally happened and it s over now we can go and relax and not have to worry about homecoming.
Patrick Donald Moren, Esq., the oldest child of three sons, was born in Bovey, Minnesota on June 13, 1940 to Mary (nee Bedi) Moren, and Donald Moren. Pat grew up in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and from the age of 4, spent his summers at the rustic, hand built family cabin on beautiful Lake Pokegama. He was an avid water-skier and become so adept at the sport that he could ski on one bare foot.
Following his graduation from Grand Rapids High School in 1958, he attended St. Johnâs University in Collegeville, Minnesota. He was mentored there by University President Father Arno Gustin, who later was the Sacred Heart Parish priest in Roseau and a very close family friend. Father Arno had such a positive impact on Patâs life that Pat even talked about Father Arno as he was receiving his last rites.Â

âThe Columbia River Watershed: Caring for Creation and the Common Good,â an international pastoral letter by the Catholic bishops of the Northwest, celebrates its 20th anniversary About 40% of all wheat produced in the United States is shipped in barges, pushed by tugboats, on the Columbia River to Portland, Vancouver, Kelso and Longview. It would take more than 500 trucks to transport the wheat a barge carries. Yet the dams that make the water route possible have devastated salmon runs on the Columbia. The Yakama people, who fished for centuries on the river, note that the United States signed treaties that promised fishing rights in perpetuity, rights that the dams make meaningless. The Catholic bishops, in writing the Columbia River pastoral letter, addressed this tragedy. (Courtesy Columbia River National Scenic Area)

That s the most billion-dollar weather and climate disasters ever counted in a year by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And last year tied with 2016 as the hottest year on record.
