Northfield council settles on 2 percent tax levy increase

Minnesota farmers, dependent on exports, keep close watch on President-elect’s policy By MARK STEIL
Minnesota Public Radio News
Brad Nelson, a farmer who lives near Albert Lea, voted for Donald Trump last month. The 58-yearold agreed with the president-elect on many issues, like cutting regulations on agriculture and reducing health care costs. But Trump also threatened sharply higher tariffs on Chinese products, once saying that “China is ripping us off like nobody has ever seen.” However, Minnesota farmers like Nelson count
on billions of dollars in exports to overseas markets — especially to China. “Our exports to China obviously have exploded the last 10 or 15 years,” said Nelson. If Trump really goes after China, the likely retaliation could hurt U.S. farmers. Now, they’re waiting to see what the Trump administration actually does. Rural Minnesota voted resoundingly for Trump, even though the candidate hammered trade deals as a centerpiece of his campaign. Those deals can be crucial for farmers’ livelihoods.
“Without access to the export market, we’d be in some trouble,” said Joel Wiering, grain manager at the CHS terminal in the southwest Minnesota town of Ruthton. About 60 percent of the soybeans moving through the Ruthton elevator this year — about $30 million worth — will wind up overseas. That’s just a drop in the bucket compared to the over $2 billion soybean exports bring to Minnesota’s agricultural economy each year.
The Northfield City Council stuck with its preliminary plan for the 2017 citywide tax levy, consisting of a 2 percent increase from the 2016 level. The increase means that, including levies from the Economic Development Authority and Housing Redevelopment Authority, Northfield’s total levy will move from $8.10 million in 2016 to $8.26 million for 2017. The majority of councillors felt the 2 percent increase was a comfortable compromise. The council started out its discussion on the 2017 citywide tax levy at a 3 percent increase from 2016 at an August work session. The figure, suggested by city staff, led by Finance Director Melanie Lammers and Administrator Ben Martig, came as a result of increased infrastructure and equipment costs. Lammers The 3 percent would have reflected a change from the $8.10 million levy for 2016 to a proposed $8.34 million proposed levy for 2017. The majority of the increased levy dollars in the 3 percent increase would have gone toward the general fund, mostly for staffing and Martig services costs. The park fund was also scheduled for a $30,000 increase, and the city facilities fund a $20,000 increase. There is also money being set aside for a fiveyear streets plan, which includes maintenance and reconstruction in various city locations. A second option, presented but not recommended in September, was to set the preliminary levy at only a 1 percent increase. Staff would need to cut $161,000 from the general fund budget in that case. Martig and Lammers laid out a few areas that would need to be considered for cuts to make that option work: full-time staff (to parttime), overtime, street department service areas, and technology upgrades. Instead, the City Council found a compromised preliminary position at a 2 percent increase. The number was higher than what councilors David DeLong and David Ludescher wanted (1 percent), but lower than the citystaff-recommended 3 percent.

Faribault prison, Dundas church create unique choir collaboration By GUNNAR OLSON
golson@faribault.com
A group of incarcerated individuals and a congregation from Dundas have discovered the parallels between their lives through singing. Rejoice! Church, a congregation just off of Hwy. 3 in Dundas, has 41 participants in its Christmas Choir this holiday season. The other 13 members of the choir are inmates at the Minnesota Department of CorrectionsFaribault. For the last eight weeks, Pat Shelby, the worship director at Rejoice!, has spent his Tuesday nights working with part of his choir at Rejoice! On Wednesdays, he spends time working with the members who reside at the prison. The culmination of these months of practice will be Dec. 9 at 7 p.m., where the choir will meet, altogether, and perform for a crowd of incarcerated individuals at the prison. Vol. 140, No. 49 ©2016
religious in terms of the message of Christ,” she said. “We are no different than those incarcerated. We all need saving.” For Shelby and Faribault prison Chaplain David Swagger, a unifying message is at the heart of why this event has continued in this form for six years. Shelby met Swagger when he was invited to attend a bible study at the prison. After becoming acquainted, Swagger asked if Shelby could fill in for him with the prison choir during his vacation. “He asked me if I would be interested in directing the prison choir on Sundays,” said Shelby. “I told him I was interested, but I couldn’t do something like that because I was already busy Offenders who are in the Faribault prison’s choir sing along with the choir members from on Sundays.

another weekday, teaching the same music to both groups with the overall goal of getting together for a concert in December. The choir has seen steady growth since it began six years ago, and it set a new record this year with 41. “There is an element of curiosity to it,” he said of why he believes so many people sign up. “I usually find that there could already be the thought planted in their minds that they wanted to do something at the prison or volunteer in some way, they just never did anything about it.” For Anderson, a veteran of the choir, reaching out to prisoners with “hope and joy at Christmastime,” is paramount to her annually renewed commitment to the collaboration. She has also seen that more and more people find the experience rewarding.

The many benefits of (Metro) Families who resolve to spend more time together may reap a host of benefits. One of the easiest ways to enjoy family company is to dine together - with researchers saying it’s one of the most important things parents and other caregivers can do for children. Hectic schedules have made it commonplace for many families to grab meals on the go, whether on the ride to school or during the commute home from work. Family meals may also play second fiddle to sports practices, extra hours at the office and trips to the gym. However, according to family therapist and Harvard Medical School professor Anne Fishel, sitting down for a nightly meal is great for the brain, the
body and the spirit. According to a study from researchers Sandra L. Hofferth and John F. Sandberg titled ‘How American Children Spend Their Time,’ which appeared in the Journal of Marriage and Family, family meals are linked to fewer behavior problems, as measured by a child’s score on the Behavior Problems Index. And that is not the only advantage to family meals. • A 2000 survey from the Obesity Prevention Program at Harvard Medical School found that the nine- to 14-year-old children who ate dinner with their families most frequently ate more fruits and vegetables and consumed less soda and fried foods.
• Conversations around the dinner table provide an opportunity for children to expand their vocabulary and knowledge about key issues. A 2006 article in New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development found dinnertime conversation boosts vocabulary even more than being read to. Young kids learned 1,000 rare words at the dinner table, compared to only 143 from parents reading storybooks aloud. At the family dinner table, parents can teach their kids how to speak well when among other adults and children without the distractions of television, phones and other electronic devices drawing kids’ attention away. • Family dinners can help expand palates and get children
Regular family meals can benefit children in various ways. to try new things. • Experts in the Department of Child Development and Family Science at North Dakota
State University say family meals help provide a regular, consistent opportunity to create an environment of inclusion for everyone
in the family. Family meals also become a way to carry on family traditions and instill a sense of family unity. • Eating together may help prevent certain poor adolescent behaviors. Teens who have fewer than three family dinners a week are 3.5 times more likely to abuse prescription drugs and to use illegal drugs other than marijuana; three times more likely to use marijuana; more than 2.5 times more likely to smoke cigarettes; and 1.5 times more likely to try alcohol, according to Court Appointed Special Advocate reports. Family meals are more than just a chance to enjoy good food together. Such meals may benefit children for years to come.

YOGA IS THE MOST PERFECT WAY TO DE-STRESS WHILE GETTING IN GREAT SHAPE.
101 W. 5th Street · www.heartworkyoga.com 507-649-0898
(Metro) The beginning of the year is an ideal time to get organized and set oneself up for productive months ahead. It’s also a good opportunity to take inventory of seldom-used items and clear out as much clutter as possible. The amount of stuff the average person owns can affect how easy or difficult it is for that person to get organized. In 2014, professional organizer Regina Lark estimated the average American home contains 300,000 items. And it’s not just adults who love to collect and keep things, as kids contribute to the problem, too. British research, as published in The Telegraph, indicates the average 10-year-old owns 238 toys, playing with just 12 in a typical day. All of these belongings contribute to disorganization and lost time. A study by Esure Home Insurance found looking for lost items accounts for 10 minutes of wasted time each day. Getting organized can take perseverance. However, it is possible. Use these strategies to get
organized in the months ahead. • serve the one-in, oneout’ rule. Practice the rule of giving away or discarding one item per each new item that comes into your home. This approach can keep a cap on the new things you own. • Skip the free ies. esist the temptation to accept items that are being given away by family, friends, retailers. etc. Politely refuse these unnecessary items, which will only pile up. • ent items rather than buying them. Renting rather than buying is another way to stay organized. Avid readers can rely on the public library for their weekly reads. Instead of purchasing new formal wear to wear to a wedding, rent tuxedoes, suits or evening gowns. • ake lists of what needs to be done. Writing down tasks can help them become more manageable, and a list can also ensure a task is fully completed. Physically checking off a to-do list can be quite satisfying, providing motivation to finish the rest of the list.
• ake a catch-up day. ose who feel bogged down by a backlog of responsibilities can take a day off from work to catch up on chores and tasks. Fit a few things in over the course of the day. • lan ahead for meals and other tasks. Use the calendar to plan out the week or the month. When you know what to expect, instead of spending time figuring out what to make or which task to do each day, you can be more efficient about getting it done. Getting organized is a common goal. It’s entirely achievable with a positive attitude and some dedication.

Cognitive decline
provides another reason to
(Metro) Smokers have scores of reasons to give up the habit. In addition to contributing to cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and other lung ailments, cancers elsewhere in the body, wrinkled skin, and diseases of the eyes, nose and mouth, smoking may also contribute to cognitive decline. There’s growing evidence suggesting that using cigarettes can affect the brain in negative ways, including causing cognitive decline as early as age 45. According to the study “Impact of Smoking on Cognitive Decline in Early Old Age,” led by Severine Sabia, as published in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry, smoking is a possible risk factor for dementia, although the impact smoking has on the brain may have been underestimated in elderly populations because of the general shorter life span of smokers. Study participants were given a battery of tests in memory, vocabulary and executive function that included reasoning and fluency, and a global cognitive score. Both men and women participated (5,099 men and 2,137 women, with a mean
Smoking can damage blood vessels, which may be linked to cognitive decline and dementia. age of 56), and smoking history was recorded over the 10-year assessment period. An analysis revealed that a cognitive decline occurred in all tests except vocabulary among all participants, but mostly in men. However, faster cognitive decline was observed among current smokers compared with those who had never smoked. The size of the effect associated with smoking was similar to that of 10 years of aging. Findings are similar to other research being done on the topic of smoking and its impact on the brain. The Alzheimer’s Society states that smoking is bad for the heart, lungs, and vascular system - including the blood vessels that feed oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Recent research has shown that smoking is a significant risk factor for vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, with smokers twice as likely to develop the disease as nonsmokers. The Mayo Clinic defines vascular dementia as problems with reasoning, planning, judgement, memory and other thought processes caused by brain damage from impaired blood flow to the brain. Factors

The importance of
(Metro) Annual health exams are a key component of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A person may not see the need to visit the doctor if he or she is feeling well, but not every disease or condition manifests itself in a way that men and women can detect. According the Unity Point Clinic, nearly one-third of the 133 million Americans living with a chronic disease are unaware of the presence of their conditions. Routine physical exams can detect serious illnesses before they do much damage. No two physical exams will be exactly alike, but many will share some general features.
Health history A crucial element of a physical exam will include a thorough health history if the physician doesnÕt already have one on file. The doctor will take time to ask questions about family history of illness, health habits, any vices (smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.), exercise schedule, and diet. If there is a possible hereditary health condition running through your family, the doctor may suggest certain testing and make note of potential signs to look for in the future. Current ailments After discussing a patient’s history, the doctor may ask if they are having any problems they cannot explain. These can in-
clude changes in eating or sleeping patterns; aches and pains; lumps or bumps and other abnormalities. Again, the presence of symptoms may be indicative of illness or physical changes, but not all diseases produce obvious symptoms. Vital signs A doctor will check a patient’s vital signs during the physical. Areas the doctor will look at include but are not limited to: • eart rate is measures the speed at which the heart is pumping. Normal resting heart rate values range from 60 to 100 beats per minute. • lood pressure A lood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer) will measure systolic and di-
astolic pressure. Systolic pressure measures the force with which the blood is pushing through the arteries. The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries between beats, when the heart rests. The systolic (top number) should be below 120, while the bottom should be less than 80, according to the Mayo Clinic. • espiration rate e doctor will measure the number of breaths taken in a minute. WebMD says between 12 and 16 breaths per minute is normal for a healthy adult. reathing more than 20 times per minute can suggest heart or lung problems. • ulse oximetry ohns opkins School of edicine says pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxy-
gen saturation) of the blood. It is a measure of how well oxygen is being sent to the parts of your body furthest from your heart. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low. Physical exam The examination will also include physical components. The doctor will perform a visual inspection of the skin and body for any abnormalities, such as the presence of skin cancer. The physician may feel the abdomen to check that internal organs are not distended. Females’ physical examinations may include breast and pelvic exams.
Comprehensive testing In addition to the exam at the office, the physical may include an electrocardiogram, or EKG, to check electrical activity of the heart; blood count and cholesterol checks through bloodwork; body mass index testing; X-rays or MRIs and bone-density tests. Physical exams remain an important part of staying healthy. Consult with a doctor for more preventative maintenance tips.

MAXIMIZE How to
your gym workout
) p i h s r e b m (and me
(Metro) Ringing in the new year might be about toasting to good fortune and reminiscing with family and friends. But for many people, New Year’s Eve also may be spent thinking about New Year’s resolutions, many of which may focus on getting healthy and fit in the year ahead. According to CreditDonkey, a financial resource that helps people save money and make savvy financial decisions, the health club industry is valued at around $27 billion in the United States. Globally, health clubs produce close to $75 billion in revenue every year. And that industry appears unlikely to slow down anytime soon, as more and more people are resolving to get healthier. No one signs up for a membership hoping for mediocre re-
sults. Therefore, here is how to get the most out of a gym membership and regular workouts. • et inside the door. e first step to realizing results is to go to the gym. Statistics indicate that within a month or two of joining a gym, attendance numbers dwindle even though people continue to pay for memberships when they are not going to the gym. Schedule time at the gym as you would any other activity. If you need motivation to go, enlist a friend to join and get you to attend. • Do something you love. Gyms cater to so many different workout experiences these days that gymgoers need not worry about getting bored with their fitness routines. Start out with an activity you enjoy doing, or experiment with different activities
until you find one that you find enjoyable. You may be allowed to sample classes without paying for a different membership plan, or even just observe outside of the studio door to get a sense of what may interest you. • ork with a trainer. Gyms employ personal trainers who can help novices learn the ropes. New members can rely on personal training sessions to familiarize themselves with a gym’s equipment and the proper techniques to employ when using that equipment. Trainers also can play key supportive rolls in members’ workouts, helping to keep clients motivated on those days when the enthusiasm is waning. • ary your workouts. Expanding your boundaries is a great way to push your body and
maximize your workout. According to aco ilson, h.D., certified strength and conditioning specialist and associate editor of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, ‘... by only doing cardio your metabo-
lism will actually go down, making weight loss more difficult. Resistance training, however, builds muscle to increase your meta olic rate. ariety is the spice of life, and it’s also essential to effective workouts.
