A perfect fit; what I was meant to do

Steuart Labs in Mabel turns 30 this year

By Jade Sexton jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Gary Steuart started his business thirty years ago in Preston. He later moved to Harmony, and as the company grew, he moved to Mabel in 2001.

Steuart Labs now has three locations in the downtown area.

The first product Steuart created was a pain cream for racehorses that had been injured or had sore muscles or joints. He quickly figured out it worked just as well on humans, and reformulated it for that purpose.

The pain cream is now the biggest seller of Steuart Labs.

“It’s really good on joints like hips and knees,” shared Steuart.

“It’s also good for neuropathy, back and neck pain. It doesn’t fix these problems, but it’s an anti-inflammatory. A lot of pain comes from inflammation.”

The formula for the pain cream is simple and natural; there are no steroids or antibiotics. One of the main ingredients is comfrey, which is recognized for its healing properties. It can be reapplied as often as needed, and there are no side effects.

Many people have used this product with great results, and continue to buy it for their pain.

Steuart also came up with a great product for healing sore, painful, and swollen udders.

Local dairy farmers have found that nothing else works like Steuart’s Udder Heal to help heal painful sores that otherwise would affect the health of the cow and the production of milk.

Steuart said the company has undergone many changes in the last five years. They used to sell diagnostic ultrasound machines to farmers and vets, but they got out of that in 2008. From there, Steuart and his employees had to come up with a

When retiring Fillmore County Chief Deputy Sheriff Tom Kycek reflected on the past 37 years with the county’s Sheriff Department, he called his time with the department fulfilling, adding he enjoys the work today as much as he did when he first started. Fillmore County has been a “perfect fit” because of who I am. He never had a desire to work in a larger county or community.

Kycek was raised in Albert Lea, and by happenstance graduated from the same high school as Sheriff Daryl Jensen, but they didn’t know each other at the time. A friend informed Kycek after high school graduation that there was an opening at Alexandria Technical College for law enforcement. He took advantage of the opportunity and ended up doing what he says he was meant to do.

Leaving will be bittersweet.

Kycek called his colleagues an incredible bunch of people.

What comes next has not been decided. “We will be active doing something,” speaking for himself and Becky, his wife of 37 years. Becky works at Spring Valley city hall. Family is always first with Kycek. They have two adult sons, John and Mike. Becky has always supported his career and he says it is time to pay her back.

Kycek started as a patrol officer in Spring Valley. Policing provided by the county was new for Spring Valley at this time.

Wearing the uniform makes one stand out. It takes a while to get used to the way people treat you.

A lot of the job is learning to deal with the public diplomatically. Kycek worked 15 years on patrol, 18 years as an investigator and four years as chief deputy. He sees each level as a building block which enabled See KYCEK Page 9 

i want to open a small business in my home. What type of business entity should i be?

The answer to your question is “it depends.” There are essentially three business structures that might work for you: sole proprietorship, LLC, and corporation. There are benefits and disadvantages to each. A sole proprietorship is easy to maintain and requires no state filing, but it provides you no liability protection. A corportation and LLC provide liability protection but require you to file with the Secretary of State and follow some formalities.

There are a lot of factors that play into which of these business structures is right for you, such as the current number of employees and your long and short-term plans for the company. Tax issues also affect your choice of business entity, as can insurance availability You should talk to a CPA, an insurance agent, AND an attorney to help you decide what type of business structure is going to work best for you. Once you have had all of these conversations, your choice of entity may be much clearer.

Make your garden more memorable.

Great design begins with your home, who you are, elements you are comfortable with and the activities of your life. Design style is as important to the exterior of your home as it is to the interior of your home. It is also complementary.

Individual personality, style and tastes make a garden distinctive and memorable. In addition, with approaching cool months ahead and the prospect of disappearing foliage, make the most of your landscape with a garden ‘built’ for these seasonal changes. Introducing variety simply means creating some breaks in the monotony.

Make a characteristic tree or large shrub the focal point of your garden. Use evergreens or plants with interesting characteristics that maintain a pleasant structure through the off-season, creating a landscape worth admiring.

The right choices are essential to a unique and personal landscape design. © EODL

What kinds of “memory” are in my computer?

There are 2 kinds of memory in your computer – short-term and long-term. The short-term memory, called RAM, is erased every time your computer is powered down – no data is lost when RAM is erased. The long-term memory is your hard drive, where your data is stored (Windows operating system, pictures, videos, documents, and other data) for use. That data is not erased when your computer is powered down. If you’ve had your computer for a while, you may notice slowdowns. Upgrading your RAM is a great way to speed up your computer, and it only takes minutes. MCS doesn’t charge to install RAM upgrades!! Hard drive upgrades are a little more time-consuming, but are well worth the cost. MCS can make an exact copy of your data to another, larger hard drive in just minutes, adding more storage and value to your computer.

malachi nelson how often should i change my air filter?

It’s hard to give a specific time or mileage figure because the life of the filter depends on how much crud it ingests. A filter that lasts 20,000 or even 30,000 miles on a vehicle that’s driven mostly on expressways may last only a month or two in a rural setting where the vehicle is driven frequently on gravel roads.

Changing it annually or every 15,000 miles for preventative maintenance may be a good recommendation for the city driver, but not its country cousin.

Regardless of the mileage or time, a filter should be replaced before it reaches the point where it creates a significant restriction to airflow. But when exactly that point is reached is subject to opinion. A slightly dirty filter actually cleans more efficiently than a brand new filter. That’s because the debris trapped by the filter element helps screen out smaller particles that try to get through. But eventually every filter reaches the point where it causes enough of a pressure drop to restrict airflow. Fuel economy, performance and emissions begin to deteriorate and get progressively worse until the dirty filter is replaced.

Many heavy-duty trucks have a ‘restriction’ meter on the air filter housing that signals when the filter is dirty enough to need replacing. But lacking such a device, the best you can do is guess.

Brown Tire will inspect your air filter and take the guess-work out of the situation. Stop down and we will help you out.

Q: i want to print and distribute flyers for my new business. how do i proceed to achieve the best distribution results?

First of all, make sure that your flyer/insert is of the highest quality in design and medium available. Be sure to utilize the basics of design and composition that have been presented in earlier “Ask the Expert” columns.

Postal distribution is an option but can be expensive and, due to stringent regulations, very time consuming. The best option is to place your flyer as an insert into an established and well distributed newspaper. Most quality publications will offer an extensive list of distribution options.

Insert into an entire edition; The publication will insert your printed piece into every copy of their entire distribution. This will usually be charged at a flat rate per thousand.

Insert into postal zones; In this case you can designate specific distribution areas by USPS Zip Codes. Each Zip code will have specific boundaries by streets and number of drops in that zone. This is an excellent way to maximize your dollar output by targeting specific neighborhood demographics. Bear in mind, you must provide an exact number of copies for each designated zip code. These charges are also a flat rate per thousand.

I do get asked this question often, and it does occur on occasion. If a person dies while they are on vacation or away visiting friends or relatives, it is always best to have the family call their hometown funeral home first. By doing this, a family would only be paying the professional services portion of the funeral bill to one funeral home instead of two. After the family calls their hometown funeral director, that funeral director can refer to a network of reputable funeral homes in the area that the death occurs for their assistance. In the case of traditional funeral this would typically mean that the funeral home contacted would transfer the deceased to their funeral home and prepare the body for transfer (usually by airlines) to the hometown funeral home. By calling their hometown funeral home, the family will have the comfort and convenience of dealing only with someone who they know and trust.

Do you own a boat, travel trailer or small utility trailer? If you answered yes, are you towing it with the correct vehicle?

Many times in the past I have visited with customers about the various chores their vehicles need to perform.

Many times with a different vehicle purchase you should consider your towing situation. Is it time to get that bigger boat? Maybe a 5TH wheel trailer instead of a bumper hitch.

The last time you went on a long snowmobile trip there wasn’t enough seating room. As always there are many things to consider when you are shopping for a new vehicle so before you sign on the dotted line make sure this new purchase covers all your transportation needs.

C ommentary Faith

By Stan Gudmundson It seems to me that were one to have doubts about God’s existence, the furthest a person would dare to go would be to take the agnostic view and conclude that he or she doesn’t know if God exists or not. That is because if one concludes that God does Col. Stan not exist, that Gudmunson person has to make the same kind of leap of faith as those who do believe in God. I cannot prove that God exists.

And others cannot prove that He does not exist. In that sense an atheist believes the same as I do.

That is, I believe there is a God based on an act of faith and an atheist believes there is no God based on an act of faith as well.

Given our limited life spans and our comparatively small brain power and knowledge, we are stuck with concluding God’s existence or not is solely based on acts of faith. I had a very angry retired English teacher take me to task once because he maintained that one can’t prove a negative. But that is sophistry, one must choose.

Believe or not believe, it is still an act of faith.

It is remarkable to me that people believe there is no God. To do so often requires a hubris that I cannot understand. Hubris in the sense that human beings, in our comprehension of anything at all, are so terribly limited. In their arrogance, people actually think they are smart enough to draw conclusions that are totally unwarranted. Though there are other reasons besides hubris, they all require a misplaced confidence in our intellectual abilities.

Years ago as I went to college and became exposed to an entirely Editorial Cartoon

different kind of life along with different views of the reason for our existence, I faded away from the church I had been going to my entire life.

I made the mistake then that many make and that is that I assumed that I could get specific answers about God and creation and all the rest. But they weren’t forthcoming. And so I concluded He wasn’t there.

As I wandered through life I attained a modicum of minor success but also fell down painfully hard as well. Somehow, over the years however, in spite of my many shortcomings, there seemed to something nudging me back in the right direction.

Moreover, as I began to look back over my life I also began to appreciate that there appeared to be some “interventions” along the way that kept me safer than my trajectory at the time should have otherwise suggested. There seemed to be someone looking out for me better than I was looking out for myself.

I finally understood also that I wouldn’t have all of the answers I wanted and never would have them. Finally I decided. Very simply, I asked God to make me one of his and, in spite of many doubts, to give me a strong faith.

But it was an evolutionary process, so I cannot tell you the day or the time or even the year that I fully believed.

There are many however, who expect a road to Damascus experience, and some have experienced that. But there are billions of people, and each is unique so there is no one size fits all in finding the road to Christ. We would be foolish to conclude there is because we would be, in our very limited ability, trying to apply limits to God. God doesnt have limits and He works in many different ways.

I now firmly believe and I have no doubt about God’s existence.

Unless you have experienced the revelation of a spiritual life, you will not understand the signifi-

cance of that miraculous gift from God. And that is what is. It is a gift that cannot be properly explained and it is a faith that cannot adequately be described. We are given these things, and unless you experience them, you likely will not understand.

I find letters by people who do not believe in God to be heartbreaking. They really do trouble me. Troubling because God is real and because those who deny His existence do not have the faintest understanding of the contentment and fullness of life that faith in God provides even apart from the promise of an eternal life. Moreover, those who deny God’s existence fail to appreciate that they too are eternal beings, and that they will spend eternity somewhere.

Some point to the plethora of Christian faiths as a reason for not believing. I take the opposite view.

It is the variety of faiths, I would contend, that God uses to appeal to all of us. Afterall, Jesus said that He will be where two or three are gathered in His Name. That’s a promise, so where there are gathered two or three Catholics, two or three Lutherans, two or three Baptists, or two or three Amish, or two or three of a Christian faith, He is there.

I sometimes wonder though that in a gathering, that He doesn’t sometimes think that we should do some things a little differently.

For example, in some churches does He sometimes think, “I wish you would leave those snakes alone.” My projections about His thoughts are not Biblical however.

We will all find out some day, and I would be really surprised if there were no surprises. I think we will all be astonished. Both as to what we got correct and and also as to what we got wrong. And I pray that God bless you all and give you faith.

Letter about gun control To the Editor, It very apparent to me that Yvonne Nyenhuis and others of her thinking have never read or have forgotten history.

Let me refresh their memory.

Let’s look no farther back than the 2nd World war; what did Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin do when they first took over their countries Government?

Well, history tells me that they confiscated all of the firearms of the people. We know what happened next; the people were forced into actions they didn’t want to happen. Children were indoctrinated into Hitler’s training camps and brought up in the knowledge that he wanted them to believe.

He wanted to control their minds and bodies. These same scenarios happened in Italy and Russia.

Our forefathers were much smarter than some of our traditional people of this day and age as they came out of a revolution and knew what could happen if we the people were disarmed. Ms. Nyenhuis thinks that taking away only guns that were meant for war is the answer. She better look at history again and look at our courts and the laws that they are making. Courts are for enforcing the law; now writing the law but look at some of their actions.

Again; Ms. Nyenhuis, leave our gun rights alone or in

the near future you might be wishing you and your family were not being robbed of their inalienable rights because of losing the 2nd amendment rights because of shallow thinking on the part some of the population.

The safest country in the world is Switzerland and know what? They demand that every male shall own and maintain a firearm. They were the safest nation during the wars as well as now.

I hope I didn’t teach firearms Safety for the State of Minnesota for 52 years for nothing.

Points to Ponder: How many criminals will turn in their firearms?

How many citizens will be branded criminals for not turning in their firearms, especially the ones who have just recently purchased firearms for protection from criminals and also our demanding government?

Think about it.

C ommentary One Moment Please...

Are we there yet?

By Jason Sethre Publisher of the Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell phone: 507-251-5297

jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com

All throughout this past summer, during trips here and there I think I heard, “Are we there yet?” from my children enough to earn a cameo appearance on the next sequel in the series of National L a m p o o n’s Vacation. Yes, my cheeks and chin have grown enough in recent years Jason Sethre for me to be a stunt double for Chevy Chase, but that’s not my fault. My wife feeds me too well, and I lack selfcontrol. But, I digress.

Well, we survived the summer

months balancing daycare and all of the other summer activities that seem to saturate our days and weeks.

So, now the Fillmore Central kids are back to school as of this past Monday.

“We are there,” I can finally say. The kids are back in school, full of routine and studies.

And, with the school year back in full swing, there are a number of exciting things that I want to share with our readers relating to all that we have to offer at the Fillmore County Journal.

Scholarship As of three years ago, the Journal started awarding a $500 annual college scholarship to one graduating senior in Fillmore County who met the eligibility requirements. Each year, we have selected one student from the pile of applicants, which has never been an easy decision. Our

entire staff partakes in the process to determine who should earn this scholarship.

If you know of a person graduating from high school in 2013, please let them know about this scholarship opportunity. There is an advertisement appearing in today’s Journal with more details about the scholarship opportunity, and you can find an entire application on our website at fillmorecountyjournal.com.

Journal Student Writing Project Now in its 14th year, our assistant editor, Jade Sexton, will be working with all of the high school English departments in Fillmore County, including Chatfield, Mabel-Canton, Fillmore Central, Lanesboro, Kingsland and Rushford-Peterson, to put together an all-star team of student writers.

Each week throughout the school year, our area students touch on local and national issues from their perspective. And, every week, I guarantee that this feature is one of the most read

Monthly meeting of the Ostrander City Council Pledge of Allegiance The monthly meeting of the Ostrander City Council was called to order at 6:00 p.m.

Move office to 306 Main Street or enlarge current office and make bathroom handicap accessible—Visitors at this meeting were Jimmie Dean and Lois Hanson. A special meeting was held on June 21st with Matt Litwiller to discuss following through with the lease or backing out. It was discovered that the furnace is only approximately 4 years old, which was a big concern. After discussing this with Matt, the City Council decided to move ahead and just make the minimal updates that are needed. Motion by Thompson, and seconded by Start and unanimously carried to rescind the motion to back out of the lease with the Ostrander Farmers Co-op.

features of the newspaper. I have seen past student writers take on very sensitive subjects with such poise and grace. With these commentaries, our area students give us a glimpse into the future of what great contributions they will make to our world as they graduate into the next phase of their lives. I’m looking forward to another enlightening year, along with Journal readers.

Athlete of the Week Something new this school year will be a feature focused on the “Athlete of the Week.” Each week, starting in September, our sports reporter Paul Trende, will recognize one athlete in all of the six school districts in Fillmore County that has achieved a special accomplishment. I cannot thank Paul enough for continuing to breathe new life into our sports section each week.

I have received many e-mails from coaches and readers showing appreciation for Paul’s keen sense of detail pertaining to every game and every player pouring their heart into each game. I look

forward to seeing individual talent and accomplishments highlighted each week in the pages of the Journal – another enhancement to our newspaper.

Social Scenes This doesn’t relate to the new school year, but I’ve been given just a little extra writing real estate to tell you about a new feature we started roughly a month ago. By now, you’ve probably noticed a special page titled “Social Scenes.” This new feature is dedicated to highlighting birthdays, weddings, engagements, birth notices, anniversaries, military service announcements, and anything else worth celebrating, such as retirement!

We have always had the happy ads in the classifieds section of our newspaper, but we felt this presentation format brought the happy ads together with those special announcements that appeared elsewhere in the newspaper. This new feature brings it all together in one place. We hope you’ll enjoy the new format, as well.

good idea, they would be awfully small. Tentative schedule in packets. Rhonda will call Pepsi about a scoreboard for the ball park. There are also Liability Waivers that should be signed for insurance purposes.

SEMLM, General Membership Meeting—Tuesday, July 31st in Mantorville @ the Hubble House Councilmember Thompson was wondering if there should be some reimbursement from Rural Fire Dept for the insurance on their vehicles?? Rhonda will check with other cities Have we ever, or would we want to keep a schedule on the pavilion in the park?? Council was in agreement that this would be awfully hard to enforce.

Other Council Member Nesler questioned the Balance sheet under Equity and what that was. On line I found explanations which you can find in council packets.

I also called Smith Schafer & Associates; Ben explained that the Retained Earnings is the money from year to year either added or subtracted depending on the net income each year.

Primary election (August 14)

and General election (November 6)—Candidate filing period for November 6, 2012, General Election is July 31st through August 14th at City Hall. Office hours are from 7 a.m. to noon, Monday through Thursday. On August 14th, I will be at the Community Center for the Primary election but I need to have any filings turned in by 5 p.m.

Region VI meeting for Rhonda—Thursday, July 26th @ 12:15 in Albert Lea with Mark Ritchie. Motion by Thompson, and seconded by Start and unanimously carried to send Rhonda to this meeting.

The check for the custom rebate through Alliant energy for $368.82 has been received and deposited.

Jimmie will be gone from September 9th to the 14th and return on the 15th.

Motion by Thompson, seconded by Start and unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Next meeting is scheduled for August 7th, at 6 p.m.

new plan. They knew the pain formula was a wonderful thing, but not everyone knew about it. So they started going door to door to dairy farms telling about their products and giving out samples.

“It took about 14 months to build things back up,” said Steuart. “But things began to take off. It was really dramatic.”

Farmers are not the only

people that buy his products.

Veterinarians are also repeat customers. Steuart said it helped to have farmers recommend the products to the vets instead of just him trying to sell to them.

Right now there are nine employees that work at Steuart Labs. They make about half of their sales through the website, and sell to people all over the world. Steuart has received countless testimonials from people who once suffered from chronic pain who are able to

live normal lives once again, thanks to his pain formula.

Steuart also went to farms and took pictures of the udders of cows being treated with the Udder Heal. The striking difference between the before and after photos are a true testament to what the cream can do for the cows. Many of them had suffered from frostbite and had sores that nothing else could heal.

“It kills the infection, and it stimulates healing,” explained Steuart.

Other products made at the lab are lotions, foot creams, wound cream, and derma heal.

There are also more skin products for animals. Over the years, Steuart said they have worked on some of the products to improve them, and have tried working with new natural ingredients. One thing he has recently begun working with is propylis, which is a bee “glue” that comes from their hives. According to Steuart it has antibacterial properties that stimulate healing really well.

“I have never had a complaint about any adverse effects,” Steuart said of his products. He said they work most of the time, for most people, but not for everyone.

Recently, Steuart purchased the building that used to be the grocery store in Mabel to fit his growing needs for space.

In another building in town, there is extensive remodeling that is being done for a new lab where lotions and creams will be made.

The goal of the future is to

keep growing and keep sharing the products with the world so others can receive the benefits of all-natural pain relief without harsh chemicals and without prescription medication.

“If you’re moving, you stumble upon things,” said Steuart.

“That’s how this business has worked.”

him to take on the responsibility of the next.

Jensen is the fourth sheriff he has worked for. Each sheriff has his own style. Kycek admitted he would have welcomed the path to run for sheriff, had that door opened up. The sheriff’s department is a close knit department.

Life Changing Event Kycek began his career in April of 1975 and was married in August. In the fall of that same year he was involved in a shooting at an establishment called Duffy’s Saloon in Spring Valley. Kycek and a deputy coming on duty to relieve him went in different doors to the bar because of a report of a man waving a firearm. The other deputy ended up shooting and killing the man waving the gun.

The bullet passed through him and into Kycek. What followed were months of recuperation.

Kycek said he had a lot of time

to think, believing a lot of good came out of the incident for him.

He and his wife became closer, a bond which continues to this day. During this time he said he had some long talks with God. He believes there was a reason he was allowed to live. Kycek said he came to peace with God, which allowed him to return to work about six months later.

The Job Kycek related that the unimaginable happens to some children and spouses. Good people have bad things happen to them. A big part of their role is child protection. Kycek stated that some scars never heal for the victims.

There are dedicated people in social services, public health and the judicial system. The relationship between the blue and the brown (local city police and county officers) is fortunate and unique in Fillmore County. Kycek called Judge Robert Benson extremely fair and one of his best mentors outside of the department.

Fillmore Central Class of 2012 shines at next level

By Lane Powell As an educator of 20 years, I am always amazed at the personal growth and achievements of the young people in our communities. Fillmore Central Schools, teachers, and parents can all take pride in knowing that we do an outstanding job of preparing our students for the world after high school.

life-lessons, skills in time and financial management, and a strong work ethic. All of these attributes, combined with the nurturing by caring teachers and parents, help our students succeed at the next level.

This became even more evident to me this summer. The Fillmore Central class of 2012 consisted of forty-nine students. These young adults are articulate, intelligent, and were active in many activities in high school. Many of these students chose to continue their education at a college or university, vocational school, or in the military. They understand that hard work on a daily basis is the key for success in any profession or activity in life.

Out of these 49 students, the following people have not only enrolled in post-second-

headed and fair.

Kycek relates that it has been his “privilege to have served the people of Fillmore County.” He hopes he has made a positive difference in the lives that he has touched and guarantees that they’ve made a positive difference in his.

When asked if he had any regrets, Kycek cited the 2007 vandalism case of the Root Prairie Lutheran Church. There was not enough evidence to bring closure to the case. However, the church has since healed.

Over the years, technology like DNA has improved investigative tools. However, Internet fraud and other crimes are prevalent now due to technological advances. Criminals are more mobile, causing officers to rely more on the use of data basis.

The Future Kycek said he will definitely miss this work, noting his office will be dismantled yet this day.

Mementos in his office have a significance relating to events over the years. He remarked that he keeps the bullet that wounded him nearly four decades before as a reminder of how frail life can be.

Nothing can last forever; he maintained he and his wife must close the door on one aspect of their lives before opening another. He credited his family

for being incredibly supportive, adding they all have a strong faith. Kycek is OK with not knowing what doors may open up, expecting he can serve in other areas.

Kycek was confident Tony Webber (soon to be Chief Deputy) will do great as he is level

ary education at higher institutions, they have also remained active in athletics and music at the college level. They all had to audition or be recruited into their respective groups. That is a testament to their talent and dedication!

At least one parent from each family is encouraged to attend this event.

Food Service Director Gwen McCaulley was at the meeting to brief the board on federally mandated changes to the public school lunch program. McCaulley explained that mandated changes include a minimum/ maximum calorie count, the protein and bread servings per week are now less, sodium and saturated fat limits have been decreased, a required, wider variety of colorful vegetables, ½ of grains served must be whole grains, and milk must be low fat or fat free. The concept

behind these changes is to educate students on eating more healthily.

The Superintendent was the last administrator to speak to the board. He reported that there was a preliminary enrollment number that resulted in a net gain in a variety amount of grades. He also finished a review of bus safety policies and procedures. Finally, the district is looking further into bully programming to utilize within the schools. Harris also told the board that staff members would be returning next week for in-service days before the new academic year begins.

In consent items, the board approved positions for five elementary paraprofessionals and some high school positions. Rachel Erz will be a physical education and Kindergarten instructor. Hannah Iacarella will be the new Spanish instructor. Finally, Barbara Ahl is the new choir director for Chatfield High School.

Before adjourning, the board made a few announcements. For the general election on November 6, three seats for Chatfield School Board members will be up for vote.

Three names will appear on the ballot: Jerry Chase, Greg LaPlante, and F. Mike Tuohy.

The Chatfield District’s Truth in Taxation Hearing will take place on December 17 at 7:00 p.m. The next board meeting will be on September 17, 2012.

Fillmore Central Band members participate in All State Concert and Symphonic bands This past week, August 6-11, 2012, two hundred of the finest high school band musicians met at the annual Minnesota Music Educators Association All-State Band Camp on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Among these elite performers were Fillmore Central flutist, Gwen Petrillo (daughter of Gerri Black) and percussionist, Nicholas Powell (son of Lane and Jessie Powell).

These two students earned the right to participate in the all-state concert band as a result of a stringent audition process held throughout the state this past March. The All-State Jazz band, Concert Band, and Symphonic Band rehearsed as full ensembles and in sectionals for approximately eight hours per day during their week-long camp. The week culminated with a concert at Duluth East High School this past Saturday.

The All-State bands will reconvene this coming February for a special performance at the MMEA Mid-Winter Clinic in downtown Minneapolis.

Fillmore County Sports 2012 Volleyball preview

By Paul Trende Two thousand eleven saw four of the six county volleyball teams put together above-fivehundred seasons. Mabel-Canton and Chatfield headed the field.

The Cougars tallied 30-plus victories, won the SEC, and earned rankings in state. The Gophers took home a trophy, the SubSection 1AA East Runner-Up (to Caledonia). Fillmore Central and Rushford-Peterson were each formidable also. In 2012, things might not change too much. The above teams should be good, but will they be good enough (to make more memorable runs) is the question. Each faced stacked conference (Chatfield, FC, and R-P finished 4-6 in the 3-Rivers a season ago behind W-K, Caledonia, and L-A) and/or section fields in 2011, and will again in 2012.

In Mabel, it’s basically déjà vu.

Head coach Lonnie Morken lost exactly one contributing player off last season’s 31-4 SEC championship squad (their 14th straight title, by the way). That squad fell agonizingly in the Sub-Section 1A East semifinals, to Lewiston-Altura, in five sets, after at one point leading 14-13. The Cougars most certainly are working to avenge that game, working for a deeper post-season run, led by twotime SEC POY, two-time Class A All-State Honorable Mention Belle Sand (5’6” junior OH). The springy Sand isn’t alone though.

Lydia Geving (5’8” junior OH, All-SEC), Christy Welscher (5’10” senior MH, All-SEC), and Kristina Mengis (6’0” senior RH) all return to take swings on the Cougar frontline. All-SEC Carly McCabe (5’4” junior) returns at setter. Christine Lee (5’4” junior) returns at libero. Danielle Paul (5’4” senior DS) also was a part of last year’s rotation. The Cougars will start the year ranked in state, but the section is loaded. The past two Class A state champions, Wabasha-Kellogg and Faribault B.A. (each of which will also start

the year ranked) came from Section 1A. Chatfield Gopher head coach Troy Swancutt also knows about difficult competition. His squad will see a lot of it this year. His girls have tournaments in Farmington, Burnsville, and Byron, a head-to-head match-up with AAA Rochester-Mayo, plus 3-Rivers action. The Gophers will look to get battle-tested, or more appropriately, more battletested. Eight players return off last season’s 18-12 Sub-Section 1AA East runner-up squad. Libero Alex Duxbury (5’5” junior) is the most notable. She was AA All-State (All 3-Rivers) last season while leading the conference in digs and ace serves. From there, it?s three seniors (5’11” OH Bailey Hilgren, 6’1” MH Haley Kohlmeyer, 5’7” co-setter Kileigh Dudek), one junior (5’7” co-setter Gabrielle Salisbury), and three sophomores (5’10” OH Brook Irish, 5’9” OH Maddy Kammer, 5’6” OH Kirsten Keefe) with experience. Kammer and Keefe (who led the 3-Rivers in serving percent in 2011) were Honorable Mention All-league a season ago. The Gophers are in a similar boat as Mabel-Canton though.

Their section (1AA) boasts heavyweights, Caledonia (led by Maria Fruechte and Emma Lange) and Stewartville (the 2011 AA state runner-up).

Fillmore Central finished 24-7 a season ago (tied Chatfield for 4th in 3-Rivers). They made it to Rochester, only to fall to WabashaKellogg 3-1 in the Sub-Section 1A East semifinals. But they are in a similar boat as MabelCanton/Chatfield. They return a majority of their roster. Top attacker Alex Peterson graduated, but FC returns its best all-around player, two-time All Three Rivers selection, 5’11” junior OH Taylor Case. Taylor was about as proficient as they came last year, finishing 2nd in the conference in both serving and hitting efficiency. She was also 7th in digs

and 8th in kills. Setter Morgan Malley (5’6” sophomore, Honorable Mention AC) is quite reliable (4th in the conference in assists a season ago). Victoria Peterson (5’9” junior OH), Leah Scheevel (5’9” sophomore MH), Sammi Bakke (5’11” sophomore MH), libero Chelsea Rislove (5’6” senior libero), and Danielle Zinsmaster (5’4” junior DS) all saw extensive action in 2011. Head coach Denise Case (2011’s Section 1A Coach of the Year; Taylor’s mom) will have a good, and still young (just the lone senior), group.

One problem Rushford-Peterson coach Tori Lind will have in 2012 is finding a replacement for her sister Kenzie (now on Minnesota State’s volleyball roster).

One answer will be last year’s other dynamic attacker (server extraordinaire), 5’9” senior Amy Todd (All 3-Rivers). She’s the The best returning kill-artist second Minnesota (behind W-K’s Katie Cavalco) in the conference. Junior Kendra Crawford (5’6” libero, Honorable Mention AC) gives the Trojans a formidable attack-defend duo.

the quarterfinals by top seeded Wabasha-Kellogg. This season’s crew won’t slowly work their way into the season. They open with defending Section 1AA champ, state runner-up Stewartville.

The Lanesboro Burros will be the only squad in the county with a new-new coach (R-P?s Lind was an co-coach/assistant in 2011). Bobbie Vickerman picks up where Lindsey Mace led off.

The Burros went 8-16 overall last season, bowing 3-0 to Spring Grove in the first round of the Sub-Section 1A East tournament.

Vickerman will have some experi-

ence to work with. Linnea Thiss (senior OH/setter), Megan Kiehne (senior OH), Kaia Hongerholt (junior OH/DS), Madison Ming (junior MH), and Bailey Gartner (sophomore OH) all contributed a season ago. Hongerholt gives Vickerman a steady defensive and serving hand. Kaia led the Burros in digs (by almost a 100), serving percentage, and ace serves in 2011. Attacking is a team concern though. All told, the Burros notched 302 kills in 2011, or less than Belle Sand (388), Amy Todd (352), and Taylor Case (309), Section 1A foes, individually.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week.

Spring Valley does not move ahead with street project

By Gary Peterson “It’s a County Road, it’s a County Problem” -Spring Valley Mayor, Jim Struzyk Such were the comments of the Mayor at the end of a public hearing that was called to make a decision on the Main Street Project and action on related resolutions. The proposal to consider the project attracted over 20 citizens that listened to the City Officials explain the

improvement needs for CR 1 that would run through the area near Willow Park. The County is proposing to resurface CR 1, and as a result the City Council would carry the costs through assessments to the individual property owners. Craig Schultz of Wykoff and his Brother Steve stated that their property is valued at $700 and the property assessment would be a $3,600 improvement with storm sewer, curb and gutter. It wasn’t a lot

of consolation to those present that they could pay over a ten year period of time with 4 percent interest. The total cost of the project is $224,235.00.

Officials said that unless everyone is in agreement on proceeding with the project it will not be done. That means if one person is opposed, the project dies.

All of the questions from the public were in the negative to the proposal. Hearing them all the Mayor said, “Is there anyone

who is in favor of this?” There were no raised hands.

With that the required resolutions by the City were passed by, and from all outward appearances the project is dead.

Back into the hands of the County Commissioners, but like the Mayor said, “It’s a county road, it’s a county problem.”

Sheriff Daryl Jensen appeared before the Council with several of his officers. Jensen said that he would like to introduce the new

LSP to host workshop on ‘How to Use Township Rights to Control Frac Sand Mining” in Rushford August 30

A workshop on how to use township zoning powers to control or ban frac sand mining and processing will be held by the Land Stewardship Project in the southeast Minnesota communities of Frontenac and Rushford in August. On Thursday, Aug. 23, the workshop will be in Frontenac at the Sportsman’s Club and Community Center.

On Thursday, Aug. 30, it will be held in Rushford at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Both workshops run from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Space is limited and a registration is required by contacting Bobby King at 612-722-6377 or bking@landstewardshipproject. org or online at www.landstewardshipproject.org. The cost is $10, payable at the door. spaper Frac sand mining, also called o parhe 2x2 Network unning he main of your not the tion of per).

silica sand mining, has been devastating to rural communities in Wisconsin, where it moved in quickly before the tremendous negative impacts were fully understood. Mining interests are now buying land in southeast Minnesota and applying for permits.

“We want Minnesota townships to know that they have the right to restrict or ban silica sand mining,” said Bobby King, a policy organizer with the Land Stewardship Project.

“The corporate interests pushing these frac sand mines often threaten lawsuits, so we want townships to understand their rights and how to properly use them so if they are challenged in court, they win.”

The workshop was created in

response to calls from township residents for more information on how the threat of frac sand mining and processing can be dealt with at the township level.

The state of Minnesota has not taken any meaningful action on this issue, despite the evidence in Wisconsin of the harm posed by this type of mining. While southeast Minnesota counties have adopted moratoriums on frac sand mining, many township residents are concerned that adequate county level protections will not be put in place before the moratoriums expire.

In Minnesota, townships have strong zoning authority at their disposal if they choose to use it. Townships can adopt local ordinances that are more restrictive than those at the county level. Many township residents are realizing that it may be up to the township to use this power to make sure the community is protected from the outside corporate interests proposing these large-scale silica sand mines and processing areas.

Presenters include some of the state’s leading experts in township rights and zoning: •Nancy Barsness has been the clerk and zoning administrator

in Pope County’s New Prairie Township for over 30 years. As a consultant for townships, she has helped write ordinances for more than 30 townships.

•Jim Peters is an attorney who has worked with and represented townships across the state.

He has helped townships adopt moratoriums and land-use ordinances in response to unwanted development and successfully defended township ordinances in court.

In other business John Fenske reported that the pool has been drained and repairs on the leaks are underway.

Approval was also given approving Pay Request No. 3 on the 2012 Street Improvement Project. The amount approved was $349,585.56.

•David Williams is a township officer from Fillmore County’s Preble Township, and an attorney with expertise in township zoning. He has developed a common sense framework for how townships can approach the issue of using zoning to control silica sand mines.

•Kristen Eide-Tollefson is on the township planning commission of Goodhue County’s Frontenac Township, which has developed a comprehensive plan and ordinances to protect the township’s natural resources.

The township is in the process of updating its ordinances to address silica sand mines.

The movie stars a cast of dozens of local residents and visiting guests as they work with directors Barbara Benson Keith and Sandy Webb and a local crew of production volunteers to enact a few transformed fairytales.

Enjoy live musical entertainment at 7:30 p.m. both evenings. The movie begins at 8 p.m. Episodes include hilariously off-kilter local versions of Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltskin and The Three Riders and the Trail Troll (Three Billy Goats Gruff).

Bring lawn chairs or a blanket.

Sit back and have some laughs

at this completely original, family-friendly entertainment event. Friends of the Lanesboro Library will be on hand selling movie refreshments. In case of rain, the film will be shown at Lanesboro’s Community Center in Sylvan Park.

Admission is free, but donations are greatly appreciated.

Sylvan Park is located next to the Community Center at 202 Parkway Avenue South, Lanesboro, MN. Visit the Lanesboro Community Theater via their webpage LanesboroCommunityTheater.blogspot.com or check out the theater’s Facebook page. This silent movie event is sponsored in cooperation with the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council, Inc., through funding from the Minnesota State Legislature.

there, but it seems they are quickly being put out to pasture by this crazy society’s need to watch “reality TV.” As I watched a celebrity awards show recently and watched the commentator interview Hollywood stars walking the red carpet, it was sad to see so many of them titled on the screen as “Celebrity Reality Star.” First of all, many of them have obtained that tagline by being kooky, obnoxious, rude, or belligerent---not the ideal TV role model for our children. And, second of all, if they are being paid to have cameras follow them around all day then it is not a true statement of their real life. How many of those reality stars actually let the camera film them looking like crap---now that is reality! You rarely will see one of the Housewives of _____ (enter almost any city name here) with smeared lipstick, unwashed hair, or last year’s jeans on. Now that is MY reality.

My point behind this article is that it seems like we should be more involved in the reality of our own family than someone else’s family. Did you know that the Social Security Administration states that at least two of the top baby names for this past year were also the names of popular people on reality TV?—Whew, thank gosh it wasn’t Snooki! Having five girls in your class with that name just seems a bit stranger than five Jennifers… ha!

Believe me when I say that I don’t think true “movie stars” are without their issues but most of them did learn a craft and then were broadcast to the world instead of being broadcast to the world through reality TV and then trying to make money off of those minutes of fame. Wow…has this been critical enough for you?

As I try not to fall off of my

soapbox, I will confess to you that I am a reality TV junkie from way back. Yes, I faithfully watched the Howells, Maryanne, Ginger, the Professor, the Skipper and Gilligan each week to see if they were still alive and untouched by the many cannibals that inhabited the island. After all, at age eight, that was reality to me and it was more than likely the inspiration for that famous series about survivors.

One of my many questions about the island---How bad did they stink since their deodorant supply had to have been depleted after the first month? Did they find a jungle root that worked just as well? We’ll never know. So, if you are like me and trying to resist the reality TV craze, take this recipe with you on a picnic or bike ride and make your own memories about your family reality!

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week.

Tracing Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield, IL, footsteps - Part 5

By Gerri Nielsen This story is the fifth and final in a five-part series about Gerri Nielsen’s trip to Springfield, Illinois.

FRIDAY: Friday morning brought Mark Johnson, Historian at the IHPA back. He introduced us to 1800s newspapers.

The Sangamo Journal began in 1821 as Springfield’s local paper, and it’s now the state’s capital city newspaper. Lincoln called the Journal his friend. The cost of sending newspapers was very minimal compared to the expensive letters. A large (25” by 19”) 6-page newspaper could travel about 400 miles and only cost 1 1/2 cents to purchase. Local information had to get passed around, so newspapers were made affordable for every home.

90 percent of all pieces moving through the post office were newspapers.

Sangamo Journal subscriptions were delivered to the post offices in small towns; in Springfield, people picked up a copy at the newspaper office. Carriers started delivering much later.

There were special New Year’s Day advertisements printed and displayed on the front page to remind subscribers to give their carriers a big tip.

Though many of today’s newspapers are neutral or objective, the Sangamo Journal was violently Whig, and then Republican when the party was created.

Our last presenter of the week was Jason Stacy, assistant profes-

sor of U.S. History and Social Science Pedagogy at Southern Illinois University. He spoke passionately about Walt Whitman, a memorable poet of Lincoln’s time. Whitman self-published his book of poetry Leaves of Grass to preserve the union. He never intended for Lincoln to read his book, but he wanted to serve the same purpose as Lincoln in preserving the nation. “Oh Captain, My Captain” is Whitman’s famous ode to Lincoln.

Whitman said it’s the people that are the United States.

Both Whitman and Lincoln believed in freedom but said some racist things which didn’t seem so liberating. Neither man was a radical abolitionist; in fact, there is some hypocrisy to their remarks. In Lincoln’s debates with Stephen Douglas, he puts the two races separate but holds the white race higher.

A New York City native, Whitman focused his beliefs and poetry on his observations of people as workers. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, America was an Artisan economy. A worker started out as an apprentice working in a master craftsman’s shop and being fed and housed by his teacher. He then struck out on his own, traveling around and getting more experience on the job as a journeyman. Finally, he settled down, opened his own shop, became a master, and took on new apprentices, guiding them in their journey. It was a

International immigration to NYC began along with immigration from rural areas to the city. Whitman paid attention and was worried about some of the changes.

Assembly line workers replaced the Artisan economy; each worker knew only one part of a job and did it well. These workers started earning wages for the jobs they did. They were unskilled, or only knew one small part of an entire craft, and then were laid off or fired if they were injured on the job.

A financial depression and the breakdown of the Artisan economy and rise of industrial economy created the need to grow and spread the slave economy to the west.

Whitman commented on a growing slave economy with irony. He felt slavery’s freedom to exist threatened everyone’s own freedom--if Africans can be made slaves, so can anybody. He said for others to “familiarize yourself with chains and bondage--you are preparing yourself for them.” Lincoln also believed anyone could become a slave.

Both men believed slavery is not other people’s problem.

Frederick Douglass, former slave and African-American writer and orator, was asked to speak in his hometown of Rochester, NY, on July 5, 1852. He chose to educate the crowd on the true feelings of the slaves at Independence Day time: “What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass-fonted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy--a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.”

Lincoln found it difficult to know his heart on the slavery issue. In his fourth debate with Douglas on Sept. 18, 1858, he said, “I will say that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races--that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry

with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. . . .”

Was he politically suave, trying to keep Confederate hatred at bay?

There wasn’t such a concept as racism in the 1800s--people making an ethnic comment on the street then would be commonplace; now we’d call it insensitive or bigoted. The world is a different place in the 203 years since Lincoln’s birth.

Just as in history class in school, all these facts are so much more real and impressive when you’re actually standing in the spot where they happened. Learning about Lincoln and the Civil War is more exciting when you’re hearing from volunteers and historians who are completely enveloped and passionate in the topic.

My best advice for all students, young and old, is to travel to the source to glean all you can from people who have so much to share.

To all teachers: please apply for this fellowship program next year! (Go to HoraceMann.com and click the teacher’s lounge

tab.) You don’t have to be a history teacher: my group was comprised of teachers of history, elementary, special ed., ESL, language arts, German teacher, and even a superintendent!

To all students: make history come alive by stepping out of the classroom. If you haven’t been to your local history centers (Forestville, the Fillmore County Historical Museum), start there.

Stepping into the past makes you understand and appreciate the present.

To all nerds: keep on doing what you’re doing. The world is a much better place with the efforts of nerdy Abe Lincoln. He freely admitted he wasn’t a looker or necessarily stylish, but his peers couldn’t help but look up to him in more ways than one.

This experience was outstanding for all of the fellows. We were treated like royalty from beginning to end with all expenses, including travel, lodging, and all meals, paid by Horace Mann, headquartered in Springfield one block away from the ALPLM. The staff and volunteers of the ALPLM are knowledgeable and welcoming. Citizens of Springfield are helpful and pleasant. I am so thankful to have experienced firsthand so many Lincoln facts and to have walked many steps where he did.

Preston reviews first draft of 2013 budget

By Karen Reisner City Administrator Joe Hoffman presented a draft of the 2013 budget compiled from departmental requests at the council’s August 22 meeting.

Mayor Kurt Reicks was absent.

The meeting was held in the fire hall due to the ongoing remodeling of city hall.

Hoffman noted the Market Value Credit had been eliminated for 2012, so the city will not be receiving those funds, but the city is expected to receive $484,980 in Local Government Aid from the state which would be the same amount as last year.

The budget includes a 1.75 percent cost of living increase and step increases for city employees which will add about $5,000 to the budget. A potential increase in insurance could add up to $8,000. The council had approved a request earlier this month from the Planning and Zoning Commission to fund an updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 2013. An additional $5,000 was budgeted

for the update.

The two largest increases include a request from the board of the National Trout Center (NTC) for $15,000 (previous 3 years has been $7,500) and a request from the EDA which doubles its budget from last year to include $29,000 for property acquisitions. The acquisition price includes funds for three parcels and tank removal at the former Preston Oil and Petroleum site.

The most visible savings in the budget over 2012 will include no expense for elections saving $2,600 and the reduction of the full time city hall maintenance position to half time saving a total of $34,847 in salary and benefits.

The early draft of the 2013 budget would have a $26,167 increase in the levy or 4.01 percent. Hoffman commented that the city has tried in the past to keep levy increases at three percent or less.

Councilwoman Kay Spangler wanted to know what a 4 per-

Free wagon rides along the Lanesboro-Whalen State Trail The Annual Wagon Ride along the Root River is scheduled for Wednesday, September 5, 2012, beginning at the Sylvan Park in Lanesboro.

Tractor pulled wagons will carry participants from the Sylvan Park in Lanesboro then travel to Whalen and back to Lanesboro.

There will be two rides. The first will begin loading at 8:30 a.m. The second ride will begin loading at 12:30 p.m. Each ride will be approximately 2 ½ hours round trip.

All seniors (55 years of age and older), companions and disabled individuals are welcome.

Participants have the opportu-

nity to enjoy the natural beauty along the Lanesboro-Whalen Valley Bike Trail at no cost!

Semcac Senior Dining will have a Barbeque Lunch available at Sylvan Park for those who wish to participate (registration is required). The menu will be barbeques, baked beans, fruit cup, dessert and milk. The suggested cost for the meal is $3.50 for 60 years of age and older and $6.00 for under 60 years of age. Participants may enjoy Senior Dining after the morning wagon ride or before the afternoon wagon ride.

Reservations for the wagon rides are strongly recommended as seating is limited to 125

cent increase of the city portion of the property taxes would mean to the average property owner.

Hoffman said he would have that information at their next meeting. There was a consensus by the council for Hoffman to go back to the departments to lower the potential increase to 3 percent or less.

It is required that the preliminary budget and levy be approved by September 15. The preliminary number is the number used to calculate property taxes. When the final budget/ levy is approved in December, the preliminary number can be reduced, but not increased.

NTC Board member Dan Christianson explained that the requested increase in financial support from the city is necessary to increase staff to help the center grow and become an independent organization. He said they need help to become self sufficient. Adequate staff time is needed to help with fund raising activities and to maintain the current programs people on each ride. Call Historic Bluff Country at 800428-2030 or 507-864-2992 or e-mail hbc@bluffcountry.com, for wagon ride and senior dining reservations by August 29, 2012. When making reservations registrants should provide a phone number, group affiliation (if any), the number of riders in the group, as well as any special needs group members may need.

Semcac’s retired and Senior Volunteer Program, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Historic Bluff Country, Inc. are sponsoring the event.

Coffee, donuts and baked goods will be provided at the Sylan Park in Lanesboro. Restrooms will also be available.

In case of bad weather (heavy rains and storms) the wagon ride will be cancelled.

Christianson admitted it is taking longer than they anticipated to become self sufficient.

Kay Spangler commented that there has been great progress in their three years of operation.

Hoffman said that he couldn’t promise this would be the last time they would request help from the city.

Christianson said it takes time to get off the ground and to grow. The center is a great concept and fits this region well and is an investment in the community that will pay off in the long run. Hoffman noted that less than a third of the NTC budget comes from the city.

Christianson said there was some money in there for the acquisition of property which will need clean-up. Councilman David Collett remarked that the rest of the council knows “his opinion about the city being in the real estate business.” Collett has consistently voted against past city property acquisitions in the flood plain which the city

has paid 12.4 percent of the sale value. In those cases the rest has been paid for by the DNR and FEMA. Other Business In Brief •Hoffman informed the council that the city will need to buy more radios, as about half of the city’s radios are not compatible with narrowbanding. The FCC mandates that the radios be narrowband compliant by the end of this year. The narrowbanding will allow for more radio frequencies. Hoffman believes they will be able to purchase mostly used radios. He will have figures as to the cost at the next meeting.

•David Anderson described what will be needed for a sound system for the remodeled council chambers. Anderson put together a proposal including microphones, amplification, digital recorder, and installation.

The total estimate is $3,963.80.

Hoffman noted this equipment is not top of the line, but adequate and economical. The proposal was approved.

The state competition consists of activities that simulate those that will be done throughout the year as a Beef Ambassador. There are three areas of competition: a mock interview with media, a written response to a beef article, and a short presentation in a mock classroom setting.

On three Saturdays in September, the Root River Trail System will feature local food and cuisine in a new trail wide event, Taste of the Trail.

tember.

Taste of the Trail is designed to show off the abundance of prepared food and food production in Southeast Minnesota.
