Kenneth J. Mosser, a resident of Clarissa, appears on the cover of the new book wearing his pyramid hat, and Ken also appears in the new book. Ken said he never thought, at the time when he demonstrated the use of pyramids and U.F.O. Field Detectors on the NBC TV “Real People” show on February 17, 1982, that he would be in a book called “One Minute Superstars.”

The heavy snows, starting around Christmas, created such a demand for snowblowers and roof rakes that most local merchants have been sold out for weeks. The snow pile on buildings, on the feed store in Verndale, and numerous sheds, like the one on the Richard LaVoie farm north of Clarissa, couldn’t stand the tons of additional weight and collapsed. Brian Oesterich, Todd Louden and Dan Joarnt came up with the idea of a roof cleaning business on Christmas Day when they cleared the snow from Tom’s father-in-laws' roof.
