Red Ribbon Week Fillmore Central Band coordinates scary fundraiser promoted in Chatfield A couple of years ago, Jay Masters of Harmony came up with a great idea for an event that would help the Fillmore Central Band raise money. He approached Lane Powell, the band director, with the idea of a haunted house. “I told him that if he could get it figured out, we could do it,” said Powell. This last spring Masters had it figured out, and the work began.
high school students have spent many hours assembling the haunted house. Powell explained they are building the walls so they are interchangeable. The plan is to switch it up so you don’t see the same house every year. “We want people to get the most bang for their buck,” said Powell. Keeping the Haunted House affordable was important, too. You can tour the haunted house for five dollars a person. An unlimited pass is $20, and a family of five or more only has
special event, but the fundraiser is getting a lot of free advertising as well. SMG Web Design donated a free website, and there will be radio spots on KFIL and two spots with KTTC. Powell believes the idea for a haunted house is a great way to bring people to Harmony. “It’s unique,” he said. “There aren’t many people that do this.” Proceeds from the event will go to the Fillmore Central High School Band and choir events for upcoming performance
In the tradition of the Big Band Bash, a dinner and music fundraiser that has grown each year, now comes the Monster Bash. If all goes well, Powell and Masters are hoping to make this an annual event as well. The haunted house will be at the Community Center in Harmony. The city of Harmony has donated the use of the gym for two and a half weeks. Powell said they began raising funds for the fundraiser. Local businesses donated $100, and their names will be put on a t-shirt. “There is over $7,000 that has been raised,” said Powell. “And that’s for the supplies to build it.” According to Powell, the response from the community has been overwhelming. Several volunteers, parents, and
to pay $20. T-shirts are available for $15. Building on the walls began in June. “Mark Scheevel donated the shed for us to use,” said Powell. “We got plywood 2x4s donated from Rochester, and Fountain Lumber donated wood.” Volunteers worked in shifts. The morning crew would build from 8-12, and the afternoon crew would paint from 12-4. Masters and Powell worked on the entrance to the house and the graveyard. The actual house, which will look like a real house on the outside, will be a big maze that will take 20 minutes to walk through. “There is a lot going into it,” shared Powell. He added there will be some frightening things going on outside as well. Not only have people donated time and money for this
trips, including the band’s trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida in the spring. Powell was overwhelmed by the willingness of the community to help out with the fundraiser, and the great help from Masters. “He’s very community driven,” said Powell. “He wants to see something good in town. Harmony has a lot of people like that. It’s very special.” The first night of the event is made to be less scary for younger kids, and will be October 19 from 4-7pm. The Monster Bash will also be October 20 from 7-11 p.m., Oct. 21-25 from 7-10 p.m., Oct. 26-27 from 7-11 p.m., and Oct. 28-31 from 7-10 p.m. More information can be found on the website: www.fcfundraising. com.

Chatfield students MaKayla and Mariah Pederson promoted this campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of illegal drug use and the abuse of alcohol at the council’s October 8 meeting. Red Ribbon Week is to be October 23-31 in Chatfield. The national campaign is sponsored by National Family Partnership. The Chatfield SADD Chapter is encouraging the campaign, as research has shown that young people who avoid the influence of drugs and alcohol are not as likely to engage in behaviors that are self-destructive and that can be harmful to other people and their property. Pump Repairs Darryl Haner, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, explained that Quality Flow Systems has completed the annual inspection of all the pumps at the plant and at the remote lift stations. Two pumps need repair,
including a scum pump with a seal failure and a reed bed drain pump with a damaged cord. The cost to rebuild one pump and to repair the cord on the other will be about $3,700 plus tax. The council approved the repairs. Other Business In Brief •Police Chief Shane Fox stated that three vehicles are cleared for sale. Two were abandoned vehicles and one was an alcohol related forfeiture. The sale of the vehicles was authorized. •Mayor Don Hainlen listed items discussed in the Public Works Committee. There has been a request for handicapped parking in front of the VFW which will be discussed with people at the VFW before any action. There will be discussions with residents adjacent to Outlot B before action is taken. Thirty-five areas needing work See CHATFIELD Page 8

Rushford delves into strategic planning By K irsten Zoellner kzoellner@fillmorecountyjournal.com
After the first of several scheduled strategic planning meetings, Rushford’s council and administrative staff is developing a clearer picture of the future of the city. Guided by nine strategies for success, three key topics, including the Public Works, the Police department, and city budget, were discussed at length. At
the Monday, October 9 council meeting, the discussion continued. In regards to the budget, Councilor Vern Bunke offered that perhaps the city ought to prep for budgetary talks far prior than when the preliminary budget is set each September. “We always seem to be working under the gun.

Former Historic Bluff Country Executive Director facing charges of forgery By Jade Sexton On October 8, 2012, former Historic Bluff Country (HBC) Administrator Kristina Nolte, 41 of Mabel, appeared at the Fillmore County Courthouse. She faced several felony charges: two counts of aggravated forgery, two counts of theft by check, and two counts of forgery, after allegedly taking money from HBC during the time she worked there, from 2008 through November of 2011. Last December, shortly after Nolte’s employment ended, a current HBC employee noticed there were suspicious financial transactions dating back to 2008, when Nolte began her employment there. She and the board members agreed they should contact law enforcement
about what they discovered. There were several inconsistencies and suspicious transactions that alerted the HPC board and employees to contact police. Nolte had allegedly used the HBC credit card for her own personal purchases, and paid for it with HBC money. She had allegedly written several suspicious checks with HBC money, had allegedly reimbursed herself for mileage that board members felt was excessive, and had allegedly made payments from the HBC account to her own personal accounts, a couple of them that were also in her husband’s name. She had allegedly acquired a $15,000 loan for HBC by fabricating a board meeting that never happened
and obtaining a signature from the secretary under false pretenses. During her time working for HBC, there were several times the bank account was overdrawn. The former employee whose name was on the credit card Nolte allegedly used allegedly had trouble getting a home loan from the bank because of problems with the credit card. When questioned by law enforcement, Nolte said she couldn’t remember what the checks were for that she had written. She did, however, admit to fabricating a board meeting. Nolte’s next court appearance is October 22, 2012. She is facing maximum penalties of up to 10 years in jail, $20,000 fine, or both.
more cookies! The Bethlehem Lutheran Church WELCA of Lanesboro, Minn. held their annual Cookie Walk on Saturday, October 6. The event was held at the Sons of Norway Lodge in Lanesboro with hundreds of dozens of cookies up for grabs. Customers with sweet tooths waited in line until the doors opened at 10:00 a.m. waiting to get their hands on the goodies. The Cookie Walk ends when the cookies are sold out. When a customer walks in they are given a box with a plastic glove inside to wear as they pick out their cookies. The tables of cookies are arranged in a large square shape, so peo-
have all the cookies you would like, the WELCA women weigh your box of cookies, charging five dollars per pound. The wide assortment of cookies makes choosing difficult with old-fashioned favorites such as date-filled, Aunt Sally, and oatmeal raisin cookies. Of course there were the ever-popular chocolate chip, peanut butter, and molasses cookies on the tables as well. Then there were the timely Halloween cookies and even some Christmas cookies! After sampling a few (or more) cookies it is easy to see why the Old-Fashioned Cookie Walk is an event many people look forward to every year.

C ommentary Recessions and depressions By Stan Gudmundson Bill Clinton told us that the recession Obama “inherited” was too big for any president to solve in one term. Really? Earlier I noted that there is a simple explanation that precisely defines what recessions and depressions are. Recessions and depressions are Col. Stan nothing more Gudmunson and nothing less than a misallocation of resources. The same can also be said about an economy that is stuck in only what can be described as lousy performance territory. As it is today. History is also very clear about what happens when depressions and recessions occur. They are sharp and painful and don’t last very long. In a recent column, economist Tom Sowell reviewed just a couple of a couple of these. The first one was a depression in the early 20s that was over in 18 months or so. Second, he reviewed the result of Reagan’s policies. Within two years after Reagan assumed office, the economy picked up and gained steam. What’s more, that expansion kept going for over 20 years and included Bill Clinton’s two terms. Had he been honest, Clinton, in his speech to the Democrat Convention, should have made it very clear that he governed the country as a conservative economic supply-sider as Reagan and Bush-I did before him. Of course he had a little help from a Republican Congress but still, apart from rest of his seamy presidency, his economic policies were mostly effective. I know how you liberals, ah
sorry, progressives hate being reminded of this. But those are the facts. Again, one needs to reemphasize that depressions and recessions do not last a long time. That is unless government “helps” by charging in with six guns blazing away. The Great Depression itself lasted as long as it did because liberals, ah sorry again, progressives of the day, kept interfering with the markets ability to reallocate resources properly. Government does not have the knowledge or capability to reallocate maladjustments in the economy. Moreover, as our world becomes more complex the gap between what government thinks it can do and what it really can do becomes wider and wider. If all of the efforts FDR’s administration made didn’t result in an end to that economic mess, how is it remotely possible to conclude that what they did was correct? You really can’t unless you explain it away with “logic” that is either total fiction or delusional. The same kinds of misguided efforts of the depression apply to today’s foundering economy. Obama’s $800 billion stimulus package contributed absolutely nothing to the useful reallocation of misallocated resources. In a similar way, GSE’s Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, by foolishly redistribuiting vast sums of money, bear major responsibility for creating the current economic turmoil. But they have a failure-proof business plan. When there are profits they pay themselves big time but when they don’t, taxpayers have to cover their losses. Neat. Government cannot allocate resources properly. That is as hard and fast a rule as the law of gravity.
Yet the Democrats tell us Obama needs more time. No he doesn’t. History is very clear and it tells us that the only thing that Obama and his policies will do is to make things worse, far worse. Obama also said that we don’t need to “go back to same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.” Tom Sowell says, “That sounds very persuasive, if you don’t know the facts - and it sounds like pure hogwash if you do.” Oh how true. Economist Larry Kudlow says that “Obama’s economic program of tax, spend and regulate has been a dismal failure.” How are doing? Gas prices have almost doubled and in some parts of the country, they have more than doubled. Remember back a few years during the Bush presidency, a spike in gas prices was supposedly created to help Bush’s buddies. What’s going on here? Is Obama not so stealthily helping Haliburton and big oil too? Green energy. Almost $100 billion disappeared into oblivion in bankrupt green energy schemes. Tell me again how government can properly allocate scarce resources i.e., our tax dollars. $5 trillion added to the national debt, and around 40 percent of it comes from borrowing. It is completely immoral to steal the future from our children and grandchildren. Moreover, this is unsustainable. And insane. In spite of a law requiring them to do so every year, Congress, thanks to Senator Harry Greed and Obama, haven’t passed a budget in more than 1200 days. What plan do Democrats have that will keep us from driving over the looming fiscal cliff? Their answer was, “We don’t have one but we know we don’t like yours (Ryan’s). By the way, why hasn’t the Senator released
his tax records?” Unemployment rate? Under Eight percent? Horse hockey. Larry Kudlow says that we need to create 250,000 jobs a month to have a robust economy. Yet we add around 100,000 per month and the “official” jobless rate drops? That can’t happen unless government statisticians are doing something else. And they are. They just reduce the estimation of the number of people in the work force and presto, make the unemployment figure anything they want. In August the feds removed 368,000 from the work force. By the way, about 50 percent of all recent college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. Many of them have had to move back in with Mom and Dad. Most important are the constitutional issues. As Tom Sowell says, “The Constitution of

(E)very President takes an oath to faithfully execute the laws that have been passed and sustained -- not just the ones he happens to agree with.” Give Obama another chance? Really? He is a complete failure. Instead of dragging out the 80-year old Democrat play book and running a “scare the seniors and everyone else about Republicans” campaign why don’t Democrats just run on their record and also remind us of what history tells us? But they can’t can they?

C ommentary The Emperor has no clothes!
one has ever maxed out a credit card, you know how difficult it is to cover the principle, much less the mounting interest debt. How is this country ever going to pay off over $16 trillion in our very generous but unsustainable government handout system? I’m not referring to SSI and Medicare, here. Indeed, we’re literally borrowing money from China to pay Libya! (What’s wrong with this picture?) The Barack Obama we saw on the debate stage the other night is the real Barack Obama, without his “clothes” and without a plan to solve our nation’s grave problems. We’ve been led to believe… •The war on terror is all but over, even while our brave diplomats and warriors are being
slaughtered; •That we don’t need to know about the $90 billion that has been given to Solyndra and other failed green energy businesses; •That we must rely on Mideast natural energy resources instead of our own; •That a Federal government serving over 300 million people does not need to operate under a budget; •That the wealthy aren’t paying their fair share, even though they represent a giant’s portion of employers who are already crunching the books to see if the new mandated healthcare costs will require more layoffs, or if they can just pass the cost on to the consumer; •That more Federal oversight is beneficial, when we’ve already
seen the price tag of that philosophy! I am ashamed at how the President parades himself around on talk shows and the campaign trail, demonstrating little substance to his “Presidential” rhetoric, touting his “job created” numbers without mentioning his “job lost” numbers, calling his opponent a liar as if he were some bully on a school playground and continuing to make campaign promises that he hasn’t been able to keep thus far. It’s time the “townspeople” began seeing his abysmal failure as the leader of this great nation! Let’s put a real leader in charge. Mitt Romney has a proven track record in his business, with the Olympics and in Massachusetts. He can do this!
Listless Congress cedes power to White House
Letter about the marriage amendment To the Editor, On November 6, 2012, Minnesotans will vote on a constitutional amendment that would permanently limit the freedom to marry for committed samesex couples in our state. The question will be “Shall the Minnesotan Constitution be amended to provide that only the union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota.” I believe this is a hurtful amendment. A “Yes” vote on this amendment would permanently limit the freedom of same -sex couples to ever marry in Minnesota. A “No” vote would NOT legalize marriage for same-sex couples, but would simply allow conversation about marriage to continue. Marriage is about love, commitment, and responsibility and no one should be told that it is
illegal to marry the person they love. Same-sex couples want to marry for the same reasons as anyone else. Yes, marriage is about love and as I have shared before, “No clergy or church will be forced to marry same-sex couples if they choose not to.” Did you read the recent article written by Rev. Jackson, Greenfield Lutheran Church, “Love Will Always Win.” He asks “Is what I am DOING loving?” and that “it is impossible to hate our brother or sister and still love God.” Most Minnesotans have gay relatives, friends, neighbors, or colleagues and we know how much this vote means to them. Actually, defeating this amendment matters to everyone because equal rights and equal treatment is a value we all value. Please vote “no” on November 6th and remember “love belongs to everyone.” Kathie Haynes Canton, MN
Letter about Voter ID To the Editor, The only time to guarantee there is no voter fraud is before the ballots go into the box. Once a vote is cast, no one knows, nor should they know, who voted for whom. The recounts in Minnesota over the last several cycles have proved nothing about whether the votes were legally cast, only that the tallies of the actual
ballots were accurate. Two states, Indiana and Georgia have held elections under new picture ID laws. In both cases they have seen a boost in voter participation overall and particularly among minorities. The conclusion seems to be the more the confidence in the system, the better the turn out.

By Valencia Gaddis A delightful fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen tells about two swindlers who convince the emperor that they could create a suit of clothes that would be invisible to those who are incompetent, stupid or unfit for service in the kingdom. His Valencia Gaddis subjects play along, of course, not wanting to lose their jobs. And while the emperor secretly acknowledges the clothes to be invisible to him as well, he throws himself into
By Lee H. Hamilton There is a widespread sense, both in Washington and around the country, that Congress has just ended one of the most listless and unproductive sessions in memory. When its members bolted town to go home and campaign, they left a long list of big Lee Hamilton issues unaddressed — immigration reform, “the fiscal cliff,” climate change, entitlement reform, cyber-security. Even worse, they ignored the basics, too: a new farm bill; a Postal Service that desperately needs restructuring; spending bills to keep the government operating beyond next March. So there’s no mystery why Congress’s standing is so low not just among the public at large, but also among the people who pay close attention to its behavior. “An unsurpassed record of failure,” is how USA Today characterized the just-concluded session. There are consequences to this fecklessness, most of them pretty obvious: the nation’s many challenges are not being met, and everyone trying to plan ahead, from postal workers to farmers to federal contractors and most businesses in the country, is left in limbo. What is less appreciated is that when Congress fails to act, there is another consequence
the ruse, even parading through the streets with everyone looking on. When a child points out the inevitable, he realizes the townspeople are seeing their undressed leader. I believe President Obama is a lot like that emperor, being deceived by the media and his teleprompter into believing that his disgraceful performance is OK because he is still a likeable guy. Even for those lucky ones who have jobs, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to manage household finances, with skyrocketing gas prices that drive up the cost of goods, reduced household income, and looming healthcare taxes and penalties. And if any-
as well: it unwittingly transfers power to the President. You can see this dynamic in play right now on the issue of cyber-security. A recent “denial of service” attack on six major US banks — which caused internet blackouts and online banking problems — illustrates why the issue has moved to the front burner in Washington. Indeed, many experts believe that computer intrusions and network attacks have become the greatest threat to our national security. Yet Congress, despite the urgent efforts of several of its leading members, was unable to agree on an approach to the issue; it adjourned without producing legislation to protect the nation’s digital infrastructure. So voices within the national security establishment have urged President Obama to take action now, by issuing an executive order to put in place standards for protecting against cyber attacks. Indeed, even before Congress adjourned, such an order was being drafted; critics have labeled the move a power grab, but there’s a widespread consensus that national security requires action now, not when Congress can get around to it. There’s a certain logic to this. If Congress can’t act on urgent matters, then Americans expect the President to do so. The White House even has a slogan — “We Can’t Wait” — for the long list of policies it has crafted. It’s issued orders creating jobs for veterans,

raising fuel economy standards, halting the deportation of illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. when they were children, changing welfare policy to allow states to test new approaches to boosting employment, making it easier for students to repay their federal student loans, and helping distressed homeowners refinance their mortgages. You might argue that the White House has had the productive session that Congress ought to have had. But let’s not pretend that this is how things should be. Executive orders may put needed policies in place, but they are also a unilateral exercise of presidential power that turns away from the constitutional division of power between the president and Congress. By their nature they cannot be as comprehensive and inclusive as legislation passed by the timehonored, traditional legislative process. More to the point, executive orders are produced only within the executive branch. They have not been through the give and take of the lawmaking process, they have not been shaped by robust debate, and they lack the authority and legitimacy that legislation produced in full public view enjoys. There is a reason the Framers of the Constitution invested the power to initiate legislation in Congress — that is where the American people have the greatest leverage. Small wonder the courts tend to give less deference to executive orders than they do to legislation enacted by Congress. When Congress becomes so tied up by partisanship that it cannot act, it hurts everyone who might have been helped by its failed legislation. But its chief victim is itself, as it foregoes its own constitutionally mandated role in our republic and hands more power to the President. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Grant funds now available for sustainable farming innovations ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s (MDA) Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program will award up to $100,000 in 2013 for on-farm sustainable agriculture research or demonstration projects. The MDA is now accepting applications for the grant program which promotes environmental stewardship and conservation of resources and strives to improve profitability and quality of life on farms and in rural areas. Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson says the MDA’s Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program has helped move new ideas and concepts into viable production practices. “With these grants, farmers and researchers have the opportunity to pursue their ideas, track the results and then share this valuable information with others,” said Frederickson. “For example, we’ve seen the development of high tunnel systems to increase fruit production and new successes with cover crops.” Grant applications are available on the MDA website at http:// go.usa.gov/YBSj or by contacting the Agricultural Market-
ing and Development Division at 651-201-6012. Completed applications must be received by MDA no later than January 11, 2013. Since 1989, the MDA Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program has awarded 281 grants. Examples of eligible projects include fruit and vegetable production,
conservation tillage and weed management, integrated pest management, livestock production, organic farming, alternative energy crop production, and use of cover crops. These and other grant projects are highlighted in the Greenbook, which is free and available at www.mda.state. mn.us/greenbook.

will have to be decided if the improvements can be paid for with the levy or if bonding will be needed. This issue will be discussed at an upcoming meeting of the Committee of the Whole. Hainlen said the trees on Main Street have matured to the point that they are causing the sidewalk to heave up, making a “trip hazard.” Jacobson added it will have to be decided if we take them out this fall or leave them another year. Hainlen expects removing the root ball will disturb the sidewalk, which will have to be done in order to plant new trees. Replacing these trees with new younger trees will be expensive. This issue will be

Also, planting new trees will cost more in another ten to fifteen years when they too become too large. •Tony Lammers discussed the possibility of the city having a “brush dump” for Ash trees (including trees from outside the city). He was to meet with a woman from the Department of Agriculture to get more information on what would be involved. •City Attorney Fred Suhler discussed the possibility of treating costs associated with the removal of the debris on a property where the house recently burned down as an assessment. Quotes will be gathered as to how much the debris removal will cost.

dars early enough, and get it to the council earlier, we could discuss it earlier,” he noted. “I’m more comfortable with that. It’s not just throwing a dart at a board.” City Administrator Steve Sarvi agreed. “September doesn’t give you much wiggle room and there’s not much we can do after that. I hesitate to go into September tight and not be able to make adjustments later in the year,” he cautioned. “I think it might be a good idea to have a sub-committee to meet with the department heads and crunch the numbers ahead of time.” Another key point for Bunke is aiming to maintain a 0 percent increase for the 2013 budget. “For our citizens, that should be our goal,” he offered. “We’ve discussed the concept in the past. My point is to maintain a high level of service and performance. If we can find a cheaper way to do it, we should do it.” As in years past, Bunke also highlighted other potential cost savings to the city. “We need a thorough study of current time/task relationships to seek potential expense reductions, performance enhancements, and training opportunities for each employee,” read a memo to the council provided by the councilor. “The purpose is to provide understanding and definition of the effectiveness and efficiency of the current labor model being utilized within current city staffing needs,” it continued. For Bunke this is especially noted with the Public Works department. “It’s an opportunity to understand Public Works better, but we’re going to have to ask them to provide us with some data. To them, it’s an onerous thing, but without the data we don’t know. We can make better decisions with it,” said Bunke. A second strategic planning session has been scheduled for Saturday, November 3, from 9am until noon, at city hall. There the council and staff hope to discuss the remaining items from the agenda list including Economic Development Authority (EDA), Rushford Municipal Electric, Planning and Zoning, Tree Board, Library, and Council/General Government. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, October 22, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend. Cherry Grove United Methodist ChUrCh AnnUAl

Spring Valley City Council approves new solid waste contract By Gary Peterson After 30 minutes of discussion, the Spring Valley City Council voted to award the solid waste contract for residential garbage to Waste Management. The decision was made after an informal poll from members of the Council. Mayor Jim Struzyk said that he had one person who favored awarding the contract to Sunshine Sanitation of Stewartville. When the final tally was made among the Council members, there
were three people that favored Sunshine and seven endorsing Waste Management. A Waste Management spokesperson said that the prices for residential are locked in and commercial would be able to make their own choice. Under the contract the 32 gallon cart was $7.07 and the City or resident would pay an additional fee if diesel fuel increases to a dollar amount equal to or above $4.00 per gallon. Council members dis-
cussed the proposal and then voted in favor of awarding the contract to Waste Management with one member, Todd Jones voting no. Broadway pay estimate #4 Payment of $237,055.90 was made to Yaggy Colby for the Broadway street project. The total amount paid to date is $1,503,628.74 which reflects 82 percent of the project completion. Approval for radios Council approved a purchase
of four Motorola radios at a cost of $3,100.00 to replace current radios when the new radio system is in operation. The cost includes programming and a three-year warranty. Todd Jones brought forward the names of four applicants that will be assigned to the Spring Valley Fire Department. Pending background checks the four people will be accepted. They are Nick Atwood, Dennis Yoder, Brad Musel and Robert Vogen.
“I AM” documentary film to be shown at the St. Mane Theatre Lanesboro, Minn. – Lanesboro Arts Center will present a FREE screening of ‘I AM,’ on Friday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Mane Theatre. ‘I AM’ asks two questions: What’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as Ace Ventura and The Nutty Professor. However, in ‘I AM’, Tom steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possible for good. He ultimately
recovered, and emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world. Following the film will be a community discussion led by Fred Kiel of Lanesboro. In the film, Shadyac interviews scientists, psychologists, artists, environmentalists, authors, activists, philosophers, entrepreneurs, and others in his quest for truth. Bishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. Noam Chomsky, historian Dr. Howard Zinn,
physicist Lynne McTaggart, and poet Coleman Banks are some of the subjects who engage in fascinating dialogue with Shadyac. Ironically, in the process of trying to figure out what’s wrong with the world, Shadyac discovered there’s more right than he ever imagined. The film’s overwhelming emphasis is focused on what we can do to make the world better. “I AM isn’t as much about what you can do, as who you can be,” he says. “And from that transformation of being, action

s i r e Octob Pork Month
Pork producers resilient By Kirsten Zoellner It’s no secret that this summer and fall have been rough ones for our local farmers. The effects of this summer’s drought has led to high feed prices which in turn has led to some livestock producers having to sell and slaughter earlier than normal simply to get those animals off feed. The sudden oversupply in the market has lowered prices and landed many in tight spot. Still, there are some bright spots out there, and as local pork producer Craig Mensink has said, “Pork Producers are a resilient bunch. Most figure out a way to survive the rough times to enjoy the better times.” Here in Fillmore County, Mensink believes producers are
fortunate to have availability to feed, even if it is at a higher price, as some parts of the country struggle over feed shortages. Production operations may shift, but it’s not likely that many with simply throw in the towel. “There has been some consolidation of the pork business in Fillmore County, as some that have previously owned and raised their own pigs are now custom raising for other producers,” notes Mensink. “Some that had been doing that, are now raising their own pigs,” he continues. “To me, this is a sign that farmers around here still enjoy raising and caring for livestock in Fillmore County.” Along with his wife, Pam, Craig Mensink is the owner

and operator of Mensink Pork in Preston, a feeder to finish operation that markets 9,000 hogs annually. They were selected as Minnesota’s Farm Family of Fillmore County last year. Craig is also the current president of Riverdale, a 3,000 sow unit, begun in 1996, and owned by him and nine other, guaranteeing a single source of hogs for their operations. He is also an active advocate for the industry serving on the National Pork Board Finance Committee, Minnesota Pork Board Promotion and Image Committee, and as the director of Fillmore County’s Pork Board. In addition, he serves on the Pork Checkoff Domestic Marketing Committee, Resolutions/ Advisements Committee, Retail Advisory Committee, Foodservice Advisory Committee, and Plan of Work Task Force. Mensink is optimistic about the future of the industry, especially right here in Minnesota and Fillmore County. Annually, it contributes 22,000 jobs and over $8 billion to Minnesota’s thriving economy. He acknowledges that producers recognized the downtrend approaching. To maximize the outcome, the national board budgeted additional funds towards its new
“Pork Be Inspired” campaign, as well as funding more dollars into foreign markets. According to Mensink, 27 percent of pork production currently goes into foreign markets. “This is huge,” he insists, “These markets are returning almost $60 more per head for America’s pork producers that were not there just 20 years ago.”
While he stresses that every producer is different, he does acknowledge that it’s been a difficult year thus far. “I have been in the pig business since 1972, and cannot remember such a large spread over just one year. For us, 2012 has been quite a rollercoaster. We went from making $8-10 per head in the See PORK Page 11

The rest of the year we will be selling at a loss, but not as bad as the third quarter,” he notes. “The light at the end of the tunnel is we can lock in some profits for 2013.” Other bright spots for pork producers have been further shifts in sustainability, herd care and management, as well as new technology and tools avail-
able. In Fillmore County, most producers are Producer Quality Assurance Trucker Quality Assurance Certified every three years through classes. “This is to assure our consumers that we are raising our livestock in a safe, healthy, and humane way,” notes Mensink. “We as producers have also signed on to the WE CARE policy that the National Pork Board and National Pork Producers Council implemented in 2008. We care about producing safe and nutritious food for your family, about protecting and promoting the well-being of our

animals, about protecting the public health through all of our production practices, about providing a safe workplace for our employees, about making our community a better place to live, and about safeguarding our environment and the land all our families live on,” he adds. Changes in the relationship between Americans and a sincere desire to know where their food is coming from have also bolstered the pork industry. Last year, Mensink, and his wife Pam, had the opportunity to participate in the Provider Pals program, which places a pork producer in a metro school district to teach and tell kids the story of where their food comes from. The Mensinks were placed with Humboldt High School in St. Paul where they did a correspondence with six different classes throughout the spring, followed up by an inperson presentation this past May. “It was very worthwhile,” says Mensink, who has already signed up with another school for next spring. “As a producer, I would like to thank all the meat retailers that so often the last couple years have featured pork and to all our loyal consumers, who know
not only for sale, but also for stocking it in the local food shelves of Fillmore County. It is a community thing and we feel as producers is very important and will continue it.”

Trustees, “Rural communities are being asked to do more with less, even when it comes to emergency services. This is our biggest investment in the program to date and we saw an incredible need this year. Many of the grant requests we received were for fundamental equipment and supplies. We see deserving volunteer fire, rescue and ambulance departments struggling; that’s why we at AgStar felt compelled to do more.” Grants for up to $2,500 are awarded for funding equipment for volunteer fire, rescue and ambulance squads in AgStar’s 69-county service area. Since the Fund’s inception in 2001, AgStar has awarded nearly $567,274 to fire departments, ambulance teams and rescue squads in Minnesota and Wisconsin. With a record number of grants awarded this year, following are a few examples of what the AgStar grant dollars will support. The Barnum Volunteer Fire Department in Carlton County, MN will replace communication equipment and a rig that was lost in the flooding this past summer. The Bear Lake Haugen Fire Department in Barron County, WI was supported with a grant to fund grain bin rescue equipment. With a free mutual aid agreement in Barron County, no department has the grain bin rescue equipment, making rescues difficult or even impossible. Finally the Watertown Fire Department in Carver County, MN will use their funds to replace a damaged hose that was discovered earlier in the year during their annual hose testing. “AgStar also encourages other organizations interested in providing funding to local EMS team to contact their local department to learn more about how to help,” suggested Monson. “It’s obvious to us from the increased number of grant requests we receive that many departments are looking for support to meet basic needs to keep these communities safe.” The Minnesota departments receiving grants this year include: Annandale Fire Department, Askov Fire and Rescue, Balsam Volunteer Fire Department, Barnum Volunteer Fire Department, Braham Fire Department, Bricelyn Fire & Ambulance, Brownsville Fire and Rescue, Butterfield Fire and Rescue, Cannon Falls Fire Department, Canton Fire Department, Chatfield Ambulance Service, Chester Fire and Rescue, IA (serving Fillmore County) City of Dundee, City of Le Sueur Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Claremont Fire Department, Comfrey Fire & Rescue, Darfur Fire Department, Delavan Fire Department, Dodge Center Fire Department, Edgerton Volunteer Fire Department, Eitzen Fire and Rescue, Emmons Volunteer Fire Department and 1st Respond-

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende When two undefeated, state ranked teams meet amidst a high school football season, it’s a hyped event. The match-up of #9 in Class AA Chatfield (5-0) versus the #1 defending state champion Caledonia (5-0) certainly was the game of the week. It turned into, maybe, the defensive game of the year. One team barely scored its win total. The other didn’t. Chatfield controlled the 1st half, twice venturing deep into Caledonia territory. Their second drive produced a 1st and goal from the Warrior 8. A hold pushed them back. Nate Skare’s 26-yard FG was blocked. In the final seconds of the 1st half, the Gopher’s got as deep as the Warrior 18. Waning time forced another FG (41yards), one that was just wide left. At the half, the score was 0-0. Chatfield led the total yards battle 129 to 24, the first down battle 7 to 1. In the 2nd half, Caledonia’s offense got going. They controlled the ball for all but three plays of the 3rd quarter. To begin the 4th, the Warriors faced a big 4th and 2 from the Chatfield 6. The Goph’s ‘D’ rose up and stopped an Alex Varney run. The play, however, was the first of a sequence of snaps that proved critical. Cale’s defense subsequently forced a Gopher three and out. Zach Kasten then partially blocked the
Chatfield punt, putting the Warriors back in business at the Gopher 14. Six plays later, after (what looked to be) a fumble (Chatfield recovery) was called down-by-contact, after one Warrior TD was nullified by a penalty, and after Caledonia converted a 4th and 1 from the five, Varney plowed his way from 3 yards away. Cale took a 6-0 lead. Chatfield got three shots from there (in the final 6:04), each more desperate. The first, from the Chatfield 21, got the only Gopher 2nd half first down, but resulted in a punt. The second, from the Gopher 8 (2:00), ended after two plays (lost fumble). The third was a prayer from the Gopher 29 (0:16), an interception. In a defensive dogfight, one made even grittier due to a gusty crosswind, Caledonia prevailed 6-0. The Warriors held Chatfield to just 39 yards in the 2nd half. Chat’s ‘D’ held Caledonia to 129 yards for the game. However, 106 came in the 2nd half, where the Warriors ran 38 plays to Chatfield’s 14 and they gained eight 1st downs to the Gopher’s one. Each team’s longest play was 13 yards. Only three offensive plays total went for over 10 yards. The squads combined for less than 300 yards of ‘O’ (Chat 168, Cale 129). Jake Neis had 17 carries for 74 yards for Chat. Ryan Pitts had 71 of his 81 yards in the 2nd half
to lead Cale. The Warriors assume control of the 3-Rivers South at 6-0, 3-0. Chatfield falls to 5-1, 2-1. More Defense While 5-0 clubs Chatfield and Caledonia banged defensive heads, 3-2 clubs Southland and RushfordPeterson did roughly the same thing. Not too often in football does neither offense post a score. The Trojans and Rebels, thus, accomplished a rare feat. Each had chances. Southland’s first three drives made it inside the R-P 30, but resulted in 0 points. R-P had a 1st and goal from the S/L five, but with 0:10 to go in the half. The clock ran out after two incompletions. To begin the 2nd half, the Trojans got a 34-yard Tyler McClellan to Cole Kingsley pass, and then a 36-yard Alex Vix run to the Rebel 1-yardline. R-P fumbled the ball away on the very next play. In the 4th quarter, Southland’s final three drives all sent the ball just outside R-P’s red zone. The first ended when, following a 20-yard completion, Kingsley stripped Alex Ruechel of the football at the R-P 21. Trojan Dalton Bellock recovered (under 5:00 to play). The second ended when Eric Courrier intercepted Rebel QB Decker Bendtsen at the R-P 29 (just over 2:00 left). Southland’s last gasp (0:34) was snuffed out when Bellock picked Bendtsen at the R-P 28. The game’s verdict was thus sealed in the 2nd quarter. Zach
Boehmke’s 87-yard interception return for a TD proved the contest’s only score. R-P moved to 4 and 2 (2-1 in the South) with a 7-0 victory. Boehmke also led R-P’s ground game (8 carries, 60 yards). Kingsley caught three for 72 yards. Nick Schmitz (69 total yards) and Coty Kirtz (65 total

#1 team in Class A, the WabashaKellogg Falcons: obviously no small order. W-K has been dominant, losing only one of the 52 sets played (set number three to Caledonia 25-19). Teams have only gotten to 20 on them seven times. FC accomplished that feat at the W-K Vet’s tourney. They accomplished it again in game #1 of the regular season affair, but still lost 25-21. FC got no closer in games two (25-18) and three (25-14), as the Falcons-North proved their preeminence in straight sets. Wabasha is the real deal, boasting an athletic setter in Kalyn Biever (38 assists, 18 digs, 4 kills) and multiple verticallyinclined skillful attackers headed by 5’9” Katie Cavalco (17 kills) and
5’8” Kenzie Freihammer (11 kills, 12 digs). They don’t make mistakes. The only way to beat them is to hammer the ball down their throats (emphatic kills or blocks), a tough task sometimes against a skilled offensive and defensive team. FC’s Taylor Case (14 kills, 14 digs), Leah Scheevel (10 kills, 3 blocks), and Victoria Peterson (8 kills) found hitting success. Morgan Malley had 34 assists and Chelsea Rislove 19 digs. FC’s silver lining; six of W-K’s top eight players are seniors. Eight of FC’s top nine are juniors or sophomores.

Lazy Cooking The weather has finally cooled off, and although I am relieved to not be sweltering in humidity anymore, now I get to complain about how cold I am. It gets dark earlier, which sets a signal in our brains that it’s time to hibernate. It’s time to curl up under the blanket, stay home, eat carbs, and watch TV. Casper ~ Gjere Erin Casper and Tyler Gjere Like so many others, I enjoy are pleased to announce their this time of year when I can cook engagement and upcoming mar- warm comforting food again. I have been looking forward to riage.

and mashed potatoes with gravy. The greatest part of this autumn season is easily all of the pumpkin. I know I have shared pumpkin recipes before in this column, but there so many things to do with it. But I would like to steer away from dessert a little, mostly because I have been indulging in them a bit much lately, and the holidays aren’t even here. I’m going to talk about lazy cooking. We have all been there. Most of us work full-time job and/or have kids and very full schedules. I have found that I do not have as much time anymore to experiment with new recipes, except on the weekends. During the week, I tend to make quicker meals, and sometimes, in a state of fatigue and apathy, I sacrifice nutritional value. Especially when the cold weather kicks in
and makes me feel drowsy. How can we avoid this? I know of some ways, but they involve preparation ahead of time, something else I am not good at. I am a last minute kind of girl. I would like to work on that. Making meals that can be frozen and having them available to heat up on short notice is a great plan. I love doing this with soup, casseroles, or with burritos. They can also be taken to work for a quick, nutritious lunch. There are also many websites out there that can help you make a meal that is quick and easy without sacrificing your health and resorting to frozen pizza. I try not to buy packaged processed foods very often, but this recipe is one that I made up one night when I had a package of wild rice mix in my cupboard. It turned out to be delicious and easy, and something I go to now when I am low on time or ambition, or when I am not overly concerned about my sodium intake. It’s a cop-out, but at least there are some good nutrients in there. It’s also a very inexpensive meal.

Holiday Open House at Repeat Boutique Saturday, November 3 from 10:00 a.m. until noon, JuliaClaire Repeat Boutique will host a holiday open house to introduce several of its artisans. JuliaClaire Repeat Boutique has gained 210 Consigners in the past six months and each week, the number continues to grow. JuliaClaire features new and gently used, better clothing, shoes and accessories for women, men and children, books and distinctive home accessories, but what many do not know is that it also features beautiful original art created by Minnesota Arti-
sans. Trish Keating, owner of the boutique says, “I have six textile artists creating everything from doll clothing to scarves and quilts as well as a wood artist and a metal artist, a jewelry and a plant designer, two photographers and a graphic designer who all contribute their talents, creating unique art.

Several local Artisans will be present during Saturday’s Open House to kick off the holiday shopping season. One of the local artisans featured at the event is Preston native and resident, Arlene Woellert. Woellert’s American Girls doll clothing will be one of the highlights of the event. Her creations are one of a kind and made from clothing that Keating was unable to sell in her boutique. “When sorting through items for the shop, I would come across pieces that were in great shape other than having a spot that could not be washed out or a tear that could not be mended. Those items would go to Arlene to use for her doll clothes. This not only makes her creations more affordable, it is a way to repur-

Gunderson encourages free enterprise By Karen Reisner Jerome Gunderson, Mabel, came to the October 9 county board meeting to express his opinion during ‘citizen input’ on the frac sand debate. He prefaced his opinion by saying he has no connection to the business of mining frac sand what so ever. Based on what he has read over the months of debate, he has formed his opinion. On aesthetics, Gunderson is not offended by the looks of quarries. As to the health concerns, everyone has played in a sand box. Acknowledging that processing the sand could involve the use of chemicals, Gunderson insisted we are subject to chemicals everyday including pesticides and herbicides in farming. He believes it is important that we adapt. Many people take medicines and they can not be sure of the long-term effects that those medications may have on them. As to road damage, hundreds of trucks go by his place every day hauling corn, milk and so on. Haulers pay into dedicated funds with federal and state taxes. Gunderson’s concern is free enterprise. He suggested many
who complain about sand pits don’t have a sand pit and wish they did. Fillmore County may not have progressed as much as it could have because of overly conservative decisions over time. He asked the board to give it some thought and look at the issue from the standpoint of free enterprise. Other Business In Brief •The open enrollment period for county employees for 2013 insurance will be from October 29 through November 9. Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, reviewed multiple insurance programs which the board renewed for 2013. •Laura Wechmann will be hired as Merit Office Support Specialist for the Community Services Department as of October 26. •Randy Brevig will be hired as Transfer Station Attendant as of October 26. •A hauler agreement with Sunshine Sanitation, Stewartville, was approved for October 9 through December 31, 2012. •The board approved the submission of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) project to the Association of

Fillmore Central Dollars for Scholars changes its name As of October 1, 2012, Fillmore Central Dollars for Scholars has a new name - Fillmore Central Scholarship Foundation. The local scholarship committee was recently informed that the annual fee to be affiliated with Scholarship America would be raised. The committee has always felt that there should be no administrative costs and that all locally contributed dollars should go directly to students. Therefore, they have officially disaffiliated
from Scholarship America. All assets of the former Fillmore Central Dollars for Scholars are being transferred to a designated education fund operating under the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF). The new affiliation with SMIF will afford many benefits, the main one being that local dollars will grow along with the successful investments of this larger organization. As a designated fund under SMIF, the Fillmore Central Scholarship Founda-

tion Fund legally maintains its tax exempt 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Service Code.

The application process will remain the same. Application forms are available at the Fillmore Central High School Guidance Office. The local selection process and committee will remain the same.
Extra seat belt enforcement activities will be taking place from October 12-26. The Minnesota Primary Seat Belt law requires drivers and all passengers to be buckled up or in the correct child restraint or booster seat. Children in Minnesota must ride in a child safety restraint or booster seat until they are age 8 or 4 feet 9 inches tall. Law enforcement officers can stop motorists solely for seat belt violations and may fine them. A fine can be more than $100. The best way to prevent receiving a fine is to have your car or booster seat checked by a trained professional. Fillmore County Public Health and Toward Zero Death Coalition are hosting a free child passenger safety clinic on Wednesday, October 17, 2012, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. The clinic will be held at the DNR Forestry Building located at 912 Houston Street in Preston, MN. Pregnant women, families with children, and others who transport children are encouraged to participate in this clinic. Seats will be checked by trained staff and new restraints or booster seats will be provided to those that qualify. To participate in the clinic, call 507-765-3898 to make an appointment. For more information regarding child and adult passenger safety or to learn more about the car seat clinic, contact Fillmore County Public Health at 507765-2636 or e-mail bpohlman@ co.fillmore.mn.us Camio, Johnagold, McIntosh, Cortland, Empire, Golden Supreme, Haralson, Regent & Red and Golden Delicious Fresh Apple Cider & Caramel Apples!

Minnesota Legislative Candidate Ag Forum By Karen Reisner Local candidates answered questions from Dave Mensink, Fillmore County Pork Producers, and Jeff Eickhoff, Fillmore County Farm Bureau, at a forum hosted by the Southeast Minnesota Ag Alliance. The candidate ideas were broadcast live on KFIL radio on Thursday evening, October 4. A similar event will be held in Dodge County on October 16. Rep. Greg Davids (IR - House 28B) and his opponent Ken Tschumper (DFL- House 28B), Jeremy Miller (IR-Senate 28) and his opponent Jack Krage (DFL Senate 28), and Mike Benson (IR - House 26B) each detailed their answers to questions concerning agriculture. Mensink asked about the growing debate on mandating certain farm practices and whether there should be legislative oversight on
crop planting practices. Tschumper: Noting he doesn’t know what the question referred to for sure, he said there was a voluntary agreement to achieve water quality standards in the Minnesota River Valley. Krage: Was in support of protecting aquifers, plant and fish life. He added nitrates are a concern. Miller: Based on the feedback he has heard from farmers, they are fed up with regulations. Farmers are the best stewards of their land. Supports self regulation and was against more regulation. Benson: There already is a duplication of standards. Farmers know best and are good stewards. Davids: Excessive regulations are harmful. Let farmers self regulate. Eickhoff asked if they support restrictions over and above current regulations on pesticides. Krage: No. However, there needs
to be some regulation as there have been contaminated wells from over fertilization. Miller: No more regulation. Farmers know their land best. We need to work with the farmers. Benson: No more regulation needed beyond what the federal government has in place. Davids: I have not supported more regulation. Tschumper: There are over 200 farmers in Fillmore County alone that receive over $1 million in direct farm payments, and one over $2 million. The public invests a lot in farming and can expect to be protected. Farmers have to work with state agencies. Mensink asked about whether livestock feedlots of all sizes should be permitted. Now, only those over a certain size require permitting. Miller: Was not sure why there would be a need for additional

permitting. Benson: If the issue came to the Ag Committee, there would be attention given to this issue. However, he would not want to force additional regulation on any size of operation. Davids: No. But, would listen to any debate. His question would be if the size needing permitting could go up. Tschumper: Being the only one here with livestock, he said he has an open lot agreement. There are a lot of small feedlots in Fillmore and Houston Counties. The system is working pretty well as is. Krage: The lower limits should be raised. It is over regulated, as it doesn’t take that many animals for a feedlot. Eickhoff asked about the regulation of antibiotics for farm animals or a possible ban. Benson: Opposed any attempt to eliminate the use of antibiotics. The research isn’t convincing that there should be more regulation or a ban. Davids: Leave the law as it is. Tschumper: As a dairy farmer,
Page 27
federal regulations on antibiotics are already very strict, adding that the dairy industry puts out a tremendous product today. Krage: The regulations are good now and agreed with the quality of the dairy industry product compared to several decades ago. Miller: Would propose no changes. Mensink asked about animal care practices as related to size of cages or stalls. Davids: Acknowledged a movement to change farrowing practices and space for chickens. The laws are good as they are. Tschumper: Noted there are referendums on this issue in various states. A lot of large restaurant chains are demanding a change. The ag industry needs to sit down and work this out with these groups as we are out numbered on this issue. Krage: He agreed with Tschumper, adding that the public understands little about the livestock industry and farmers need to answer this outcry. See AG FORUM Page 28

Miller: Again, hesitant to add any additional regulation. Benson: Opposed from the economic standpoint alone. What kind of impact would these kind of restrictions have on the price of food? Eickhoff asked if they supported or opposed state labeling requirements for genetically engineered organisms in food. Tschumper: Warned that if California passed a referendum on this issue, it would put pressure on other states. The debate could heat up more with Europe. It will be costly. Krage: Genetically engineered products present no health risk, calling it more of a moral or ethical issue. No reason to change. Miller: Agree it will become a bigger issue. It could be heard in the Ag Committee, but he didn’t support additional regulation. Benson: Just about everything is genetically engineered in some way. It should only be addressed if it is driven by the market from Europe and other places. Davids: Opposes any more labeling requirements, adding the state doesn’t need to step in. Mensink acknowledged the current drought conditions, asking do you think the ethanol mandate should be removed to level the playing field among all corn users? Krage: No, it is just supply and demand. Miller: Acknowledged it has
Monday, October 15, 2012
been a difficult year and there is a shortage of corn. It is tough for dairy and other livestock producers, but hesitant to make any changes. Benson: Not in favor of removing the ethanol mandate. Davids: Noted there still is the feed by product from the ethanol producing process. Livestock producers are hurting. There should be some debate. Tschumper: There is a big debate on a national level. Livestock groups are petitioning for a waiving of the renewable fuel standard. Livestock producers won’t be able to survive with continuing high grain prices. There needs to be a balance established between the two industries. Eickhoff asked about the wolf control program and what should be the funding source. Miller: The issue in this area is deer. The DNR has hired a management specialist in southeast Minnesota for deer. A program is in place whether for deer or wolves. Benson: Would support controlling wolf population with the money coming from licenses and fees. Davids: A program is in place. A farmer should be able to protect his livestock. Tschumper: The issue in southeast Minnesota is deer. Farmers get reimbursed for damages. Funding for this program needs to be kept in place. Krage: Farmers should be able to protect their livestock. Harvesting

should be controlled and just in particular areas. Eickhoff asked about the funding source for the compensation program for damages. Benson: Most wolves are trapped through a very managed process. The funding source should be the general fund. Davids: The Ag Finance Bill will determine funding and he will make sure it is fully funded. Tschumper: It should be fully funded and is a relatively small amount of money. Krage: Should be a designated fund. Miller: Should be fully funded with general fund or fees. Mensink asked if the Livestock Investment Grant Program should be converted to a credit. Davids: Should look at that and would be open to it. Tschumper: Makes more sense than a grant, doesn’t burden the budget directly, and would make it more widely available. Krage: It is better to see results and give a credit. Miller: A tax credit could be an efficiency. Benson: Agree, it is a great idea. Eickhoff asked if they support more state regulation as related to water management. (Note: After Tschumper’s response, Eickhoff clarified that he was referring to tiling and drainage.) Tschumper: Farming is dependent on good water resources. Agencies need to be clear on their objectives. He noted he was concerned about ground water and

Said real estate is described as follows: Lot 1 of Lot 2 of the Southwest Quarter of Section 29, Township 100 North, Range 8 West of the 5th P.M., Winneshiek County, Iowa. (The residence is not included.) The property shall be shown by appointment only by contacting Gary Stortz at 563-546-7722.

cited the 2007 flooding that caused lagoons to overflow. Krage: No reason for the state to impose another hurdle. Miller: Does not support any additional regulation, especially if duplicating federal law. Benson: Agreed with Miller. These are tough economic times. We all want to protect the environment. Davids: Everyone wants high quality water, but we don’t need additional layers of regulation above the federal regulations. Olmsted Corn Growers wanted to know what support there could be for federal crop insurance. Benson: Many farmers are struggling with the drought. At the state level, we can put pressure on federal legislators for a farm bill. Assistance is needed before January. Davids: We need robust crop insurance as a safety net. At the state level we can contact federal elected officials and express our concerns. Tschumper: Every farmer (me included) wants a farm bill to be passed. It has been stalled because Tea Party Republicans want to cut food stamps. Farmers raise food. Food stamps make more funds available to purchase that food. Krage: People he meets while campaigning including farmers will echo their opinions to those newly elected. Miller: Disappointed the farm bill didn’t pass on the federal level. Closing Statements Benson: Farming is the second
largest industry in the state. Most have been somewhat spared from the drought. Farm families are effected by the rest of the economy. The state budget must be managed to stay within the limits of incoming revenue. It is irresponsible to raise taxes. Empathize with livestock producers concerning the high price of grains and the competing use of those grains for producing ethanol. Davids: We turned a $6 billion shortfall into a $1.3 billion surplus. He expressed disappointment in the governor’s veto of a GOP attempt to lower business property taxes. Tschumper: Was disappointed that there was not one question on what he called the Greg Davids property tax increase. He differs sharply with Davids on the budget, maintaining that money that should have gone to school districts was shifted (borrowed from schools). Property taxes should not be raised again. Supports the governor’s proposed tax increase on millionaires. The budget has been cut so much that it forced the closing of Fillmore Family Resources and four people lost their jobs. Krage: The Republican legislature eliminated the homestead credit, deferred payments to schools. The deferred payment makes for a deficit; there is no surplus. Candidates need to talk straight. Miller: We will keep working hard, adding he is frustrated with the extreme partisanship. Thanked all farmers for their work that they do for us in this state.

Fifteen years of lutefisk and meatballs By Barb Jeffers Fountain Lutheran Church held its 15th annual Lutefisk and Meatball Dinner on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This year’s dinner was overwhelmingly successful. Being one of the first dinners of its kind in the area each year makes it a very popular event. According to Chairperson Debbie Jeffers, there were 650 people served on Saturday with nothing left over. The volunteer workers served 400 pounds of lutefisk and 190 pounds of meatballs through-
out the day. The full menu includes Lutefisk with melted butter, meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied carrots, coleslaw, cranberry relish, sweet soup, rommegrot, lefse, flatbread, desserts including Norwegian baking, milk and coffee. Serving a meal for a crowd this size takes a large amount of work and planning. Jeffers says, “We try to start our planning process in late July of every year and get our letters and work schedules out by mid-August.” There is a
work day prior to the dinner to make lefse, and another evening to make krumkake and rosettes. The Friday of the dinner the meatballs are rolled and cooked, coleslaw dressing is made, and cranberry relish is prepared. The morning of the dinner work begins at 6:00 a.m. and continues late into the evening. Approximately 60 people help out during the time the Dinner is served, split into two shifts of 30 people. Fountain Lutheran Church hopes to see everyone at the Dinner again next year.
First-of-its-kind website reveals painful chapter in Minnesota and American history The Minnesota Historical Society has launched a unique, comprehensive website enriched with video, audio and interactive tools to illuminate a profoundly important time in Minnesota and U.S. history, the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. The site, www.usdakotawar.org, is designed for teachers, students, researchers and everybody else interested in the broader national causes of the war, the war itself and its far-reaching consequences. The website reveals stories of survival, resilience and healing
and it uses primary sources, oral histories, maps, multiple perspectives and interactives to tell the history of the war, its causes and its aftermath. The public is invited to join discussions and also to post their family history related to the war in the “Share Your Story” section of the website. “This comprehensive website will help people in Minnesota and beyond learn--in a new way-about an incredibly important time in state and U.S. history,” said Rose Sherman, Chief Information Officer for the Min-

nesota Historical Society. “And because the site uses video, audio and interactives tools, we’re confident it will engage middle and high school students with this history.” In this final phase of the website, visitors can learn about the Dakota homeland, newcomers to Minnesota, treaties, the war and it’s aftermath and the Dakota nation today. The first phase of www.usdakotawar.org was launched in March 2012. 2012 marks the 150th year since the U.S.-Dakota War was fought over six weeks in Southwestern Minnesota, resulting in hundreds dead, the Dakota exiled from their homeland and the largest mass execution in U.S.history: the hangings of 38 Dakota men in Mankato. The war’s causes began decades earlier and the impact of the war is still felt today. Throughout this year, the Minnesota Historical Society is offering many new ways to learn about the war, its causes and its aftermath, including an exhibit

Many projects and programs related to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 are made possible by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. The Minnesota Historical Society is a non-profit educational and cultural institution established
in 1849. The Society collects, preserves and tells the story of Minnesota’s past through museum exhibits, libraries and collections, historic sites, educational programs and book publishing. Using the power of history to transform lives, the Society preserves our past, shares our state’s stories and connects people with history.
