Amy Hahn of Rochester started writing stories when she was a child growing up in Harmony. Throughout school she always had several notebooks with her and was always reading or writing something. She knew that was what she wanted to do with her life. So far, Hahn has had five books published, and is working on a few more. She lives in Rochester with her husband Chris, and works at Mayo Clinic as a writer/editor in Patient Education. She and her husband both grew up in Harmony and graduated from Harmony High School. Hahn’s first published book was Mr. Jack Frost, which came out in late 2008. Since then she has released Courting his Royal Highness, Dr. Anderson’s Nanny, and Knight of the Amulet.

A new leg of redesign was discussed at length at the January 22 meeting of the county board. Fillmore County is taking a first step toward centralizing finance in the Auditor/Treasurer Department. Financing functions of Social Services including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and reporting will be the first to move under the umbrella of the Auditor/Treasurer office. Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, explained that the discussion began with the upcoming retirement of long time Social Service Fiscal Officer Danette Steinmetz, effective February 28. The intention is to hire an Account Tech who would have lower salary requirements. The Account Tech would work under Auditor/Treasurer Shirl Boelter. Kohn said the county would have a significant savings on salary and there would be a second layer available in Boelter’s department for backup
in the event the Account Tech would be unable to work for some reason. Boelter noted that Clay County has been doing centralized financing since 1999. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud suggested Boelter would have added responsibilities and asked if additional compensation had been considered. Boelter maintained that there are unknowns, including how the process will work and how easy it will be to implement the changes. The discussion also included moving Public Health toward central financing. Commissioner Randy Dahl asked how much Boelter’s office could absorb at one time. Boelter insisted the changes shouldn’t make it harder for the public. Centralization should coincide with a convenience for the tax payer. She said that eventually Highway (accounts receivable and backup for payroll) could be included in the redesign of financSee EXPANSION Page 3

ing. Sheriff Daryl Jensen said that his office has always had one person to take care of the finances. He wasn’t ready to say it would work to move this function to the Auditor/Treasurer Department. Jensen suggested they should take a look at how it works for other counties. He was concerned about increasing liabilities. The board approved the advertising for an Account Technician to take up the responsibilities of the retiring Social Services Fiscal Officer. The job responsibilities will shift to the Auditor/Treasurer Department. Commissioner Duane Bakke made a motion to direct Community Services to have a discussion about moving payroll and accounts receivable responsibilities from Public Health to Auditor/Treasurer. The motion was approved. 4-H Summer Intern LeeAnn Howard, Minnesota Extension, updated the board
on the 4-H program. Upcoming events include Project Bowl which will have seven or eight teams competing at a regional contest in March, involving more than 40 kids and 20 adults. The Favorite Food Show is in March which is usually held at the Wykoff Community Center. Current enrollment in the 4-H program is 326 kids and 96 adults. The board approved the hire of a summer intern with a maximum budget of $3,500. Applications are now open for anyone enrolled in a four year university. The internship will be for eight weeks. Responsibilities include day camps throughout the county, preparation of skillathons, interview questions, scheduling livestock interviews and award for the Livestock Interview Process, and assisting with preparation and follow up to the county fair.

He noted there had been a large increase in recording this past year. One hundred percent of all paper documents (including 5,307 Abstract documents and 13 Torrens documents) submitted in recordable form were returned in 10 business days or less. One hundred percent of all electronically recorded documents (273) were returned in five business days or less. Kiehne said there had been a large increase in electronic recording this year. He announced that the project to digitize all books is now complete, adding that this speeds up the search factor for all old documents tremendously. •Bakke related that during Highway Committee turn backs of municipal state aid projects were discussed. He noted that turnbacks to the cities are not allowed until the county portion of road in the city is 25 years old. This discourages turnbacks. Bakke said the state should allow a more immediate turnback after construction. If the road is given back or turned back to a city, state funding is cut off. Therefore, it would be most advantageous for these sections of road to be kept in the county while working out something with the cities for maintenance (snow removal).

Feedlot Korner Just want to run some reminders past all feedlot owners. Regardless of size if you haul manure you will need to keep track of your land application of that manure. Minimum Records to be kept depending on size are, for example: Date you hauled manure, field that you hauled the manure on, how much manure you spread on that field. Records can be kept in a note book or on forms you can pick up in my office. If it is convenient give me your Email address and I can Email forms to you. If you are required to keep a Manure Management Plan make sure that it is updated with your Manure Planner Annually. All of the above are reviewable by the County Feedlot Office or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency so have your records recorded and updated. Land application of Manure is reviewable also at the actual time of application. January is looking to be dry and let’s hope that it does not continue.

C ommentary Are you smarter than a 5th grader? By Yvonne Nyenhuis During the Bush administration, Dana Perino was taking questions from reporters. The subject of the Cuban Missile Crisis came up. It turned out Dana had never heard about the installation of nuclear missiles by the Soviet Union on Cuba; the thirteen days in October 1962 in which the world came to the brink of a nuclear war. How did she get through school without hearing about it and become a spokesperson for the Yvonne Re p u b l i c a n Nyenhuis Administration? During the 2008 election, Sarah Palin was interviewed by Charlie Gibbs. He asked her what she thought of Bush’s Doctrine of Preemption. Sarah was stunned. She froze like a “deer caught in the headlights.” I couldn’t believe it. She was running for Vice President of the United States and didn’t know that it was Bush’s “Doctrine of preemption that took us into war with Iraq! The 2008 election rolled out a litany of characters. Sharon Angle, running for Harry Reid’s seat in Nevada, sugested if her party didn’t win by the number of votes, a “Second Amendment” solution might be necessary. She appeared to be advocating revolution in the streets. Asked her opinion about a thirteen-year-old girl who was pregnant, raped, by her father, she answered, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” The girl should “make lemonade out of lemons.” She shares the view expressed in the Republican platform where no allowance is made for rape incest or health of the mother. Editorial Cartoon
At the debates we were introduced to the candidates for President. Rick Santorum believes that the authority of the Bible takes precendent over the Constitution. He sees science as being in conflict with religion and higher education as undermining religious faith. Herman Cain was ready to solve our tax problems with his 9-9-9 plan. He seemed a bit fuzzy on foreign policy - he became a bit flustered (“ubecky-beckystan”). Michele Bachman commented with great feeling how our founding fathers “worked tirelessly to rid this country of slavery.” I don’t know where she went to school. Didn’t anyone tell her that Washington and Jefferson both owned slaves? Rick Perry didn’t know how many judges are on the Supreme Court. You would think anyone running for President would know there are nine judges on the Supreme Court. He also apparently opposed three agencies which he promised to get rid of on becoming President. He told us the first two then forgot the third that he was “absolutely against!” Gingrich emphasized the importance of morality and family values. He was dating his third wife, while married to his second, during which time he was working to impeach Clinton for infidelity. Mitt Romney vowed to rescind the Affordable Health Care Law. They all seemed to agree with Romney. “The first thing I’ll do is get rid of Planned Parenthood!” He offered Perry a $1,000 bet. Ron Paul is for liberty and freedom. He noted the “War on Drugs” has been a failure and suggests we should legalize drugs as we did with alcohol. He would abolish the Board of
Education and cut military spending. Jon Huntsman was never seriously considered by Republicans as a candidate. He believes in science and global warming. He served under a Democratic President as an ambassador to China. His colleagues consider him a “traitor” to their cause. In the Republican Party, you’re not supposed to put country ahead of party! My first requirement for candidates for high office is that they know more than I do. My suggestion to improve the vetting process? They should be contestants on Are You Smarter than Fifth Grader? When Paul Ryan was confronted after a speech in which he lied six times, he announced that his campaign would “not be held hostage by fact checkers.” John Kyle declared that Planned Parenthood uses 90 percent of its funding for abortions. The actual amount is three percent. (Orin Hatch had the audacity to say it’s 95 percent.) Republicans seem to feel that if you can’t win with the truth- lie! The last election was inspiring and exciting because we saw the power of the vote. We learned that we average citizens have a role to play in government. We need to know our representatives and push them to act on our behalf. We are not helpless. We can move the country forward. As our leaders need to be familiar with the “bones and muscle” of government as they are with the rooms in their house, they should have studied history and geography have some exposure to science, the environment, finance, economics, and law. Whatever happened to truth and honesty?

One Moment, Please... Earning anniversaries By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com As promised in my commentary in the January 7 issue of the Fillmore County Journal, today you are receiving a copy of our Jason Sethre fourth annual Community Progress Edition. This section is all about celebrating the successes of Fillmore County, but that doesn’t come without a little sweat and tears. As you read this special section today, you’ll see businesses that have been around for several decades and a few new courageous entrepreneurs who are hoping to celebrate milestone anniversaries some day. What’s interesting to me is when I run into people who read the Journal every week, and I hear comments about a particular story that appeared in our newspaper. A few weeks back, a reader from Rushford stopped me in a parking lot to say he recalled a commentary that I wrote about buying local. He said that he noticed that I write about that quite a bit, and he cited a commentary I had written about that particular subject over a year ago. Apparently, there was one piece that I wrote that caught his attention. I appreciated his feedback and especially his mention that he made a large purchase at a local business once and the business owner didn’t treat him very well. I had no idea what those circumstances were and I had no idea which business he was refer-

ring to, but I did have a general response. I will always, always, always encourage you to buy local. There are local families that depend on your business. And, without those products and services so readily accessible, you would be spending a lot of money on gas and a lot of time to drive great distances to get what you are looking for. Certainly, you can’t put a price on your time. However, as I told the gentleman I met in Rushford a few weeks back, “Give the local business a chance, but they do have to earn your business.” Fortunately, during my travels in Fillmore County, I run into business owners who understand that everyone is a customer of everyone. Treat others as you’d want to be treated. A business can’t last long in Fillmore County if they don’t take care of their customers. I am sorry to hear the gentleman I met in Rushford had a bad experience with a local business. Again, I don’t know enough information on the circumstances to pass judgement on the situation any further. But, what I do know is that the majority of local businesses I do business with treat their customers very well. As a matter of fact, they wouldn’t be celebrating anniversaries year after year if that wasn’t the case. I think you’ll find that to be the case more often than not in Fillmore County.

“I’m really excited about this anthology,” Hahn said. She added that she had been apprehensive about coming up with a short story out of nowhere, but it wasn’t as hard as she thought it would be. In fact, she had a lot of fun doing it. According to Hahn, getting a book published is a long process. In the beginning, she sends a query letter to an editor, and they may ask to see the first three chapters. After waiting a few months, they may ask to see the entire manuscript. “It can take a year to get accepted and up to a year to get it published,” she said. The Ice Carousel had a must quicker turn around because it was an e-book. The rest of the books are available in print or as

an e-book. The books that Hahn writes fall under the romance genre, but they are still varied. Some of them have a fantasy element to them, others paranormal, and even historical romance. Many writers are choosing to self publish their work, and Hahn thinks that is a great option. “Self publishing has really exploded,” she said. “There are publishers that watch that market and may take writers on. Some people have been very successful.” Hahn said she is not opposed to self publishing, and may even try it herself, as it is an easier process, and keeps her name and writing out there for people. Hahn stresses that nobody’s road to publication is the same. “My experience will be totally different than anyone else’s. Don’t give up. Keep writing, and keep submitting.”

Farmland sales rush could spell short supply on higher values in 2013
OMAHA, Neb. – Economic uncertainty had some non-operating farmland owners rushing to sell, which was evident in the last three months of the year, according to Farmers National Company, the largest farmland and ranchland real estate company in the country. Overall for 2012, Farmers National Company reports that sales activity was up 40 percent over 2011. “We anticipated another record year in 2012, but what we’ve seen has exceeded our expectations,” said Derrick Volchoff, ALC, vice president of real estate operations at Farmers National Company. Projected changes in tax laws prompted many landowners who were planning to sell in the next two years to act before new rules take effect. This high level of activity is likely to lead to a short supply of available land as we enter 2013, according to Volchoff, which could drive values even higher. “Pure economics should dictate that values rise if the supply of available land tightens,” said Volchoff. The fact that values have stayed strong over the past few years has prompted landowners to sell while the market remains positive. Several market forces such as economic uncertainty in Europe and China, as well as the widespread drought, have not negatively impacted land values to date. Buyers in the current market are farmers looking to expand their operations, said Volchoff. Nonoperating land owners are driving activity, as many sellers are looking to sell inherited or transferred land.

High profitability from strong commodity prices in recent years has put many farmers in a strong cash position, reducing purchase risk as debt ratios have been held down. Very few investors are looking to sell at this point. “Buyers feel they will still get returns on land well into 2013 as projections for continued profitability are strong,” said Volchoff. “Farm operators feel very comfortable in their situations. They have significant cash and are investing it in their operations buying land and equipment.” The future of the market, while unforeseen, is not risky, according to Volchoff. “The farmland market has not been highly leveraged, as residential housing markets were when prices skyrocketed. This is not a speculative market and we do not foresee any type of abrupt downturn. People still see land as a safe, tangible investment and are willing to keep their money there over the long term.” Farmers National Company, an employee-owned company, is the nation’s leading agricultural real estate and farm and ranch management company. The company has sold over 3,500 farms and more than $2.0 billion of real estate during the last five years. Farmers National Company currently manages more than 4,700 farms in 24 states.

For more information on land listings in your region, visit the Farmers National Company website at www.FarmersNational.com. REGIONAL LAND VALUE REPORTS Iowa and Minnesota Demand for quality land continues to be very strong in the North Central Region including Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota, according to Sam Kain, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Iowa and Minnesota. Auction numbers in this region were up in 2012, prompting sellers to net top sales prices. “Farmers National Company completed more than 175 auctions in this region during 2012, which is up 35 percent over the prior year,” said Kain. “Demand is still outpacing the number of properties available, and quality is definitely king.” Despite higher cash rents and input costs narrowing farmer profits, the majority of buyers in the North Central Region continue to be farmers. In Iowa, top quality land is selling at more than $12,500 per acre, Minnesota values are reaching $9,500 per acre, and values in eastern South Dakota have reached $8,000 plus in many areas. “Average land values are in the range of $3,500 to $6,000, with marginal land values in the $1,500 to $3,500 range,” said Longtin.

Florida: Oh so nice! By Cody Hendrickson I had the opportunity to travel to Florida for a week on January 8 through January 15. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 8:00 that morning, at which it was 22 degrees in Minneapolis. Not to mention it was my first time flying, so I was a little nervous, and it was approximately a two and a half hour flight to Cody the Orlando International Hendrickson Airport. The flying experience was enjoyable, and as we landed in Orlando, I was ready for a good week. When we landed in Orlando we got off the plane, picked up our luggage, got into our rental car, and headed for our resort. Driving to our resort, the temperature in the car read 78 degrees. We arrived at our resort, unpacked our bags and headed out into the busy Orlando complex. Throughout our week in Orlando we experienced many things. We spent two days between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, two days
between Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot. We traveled to Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and spent a day there playing in the ocean. The other two days we spent time at the resort and relaxed in the sun, poolside. The time I spent down there was incredible. The weather was flawless, as it was between 82 and 88 degrees every day. People also say that Disney World is the happiest place on earth, and I might have to agree. Even though I am 18 years old, that experience was amazing. It may sound tacky, but it kind of made me feel like a little kid again. Last but not least, let me say that if you have a chance to travel at a young age, take advantage of it. That opportunity is not always going to be there for you. Although I did get a very good tan, I’m glad to be back in Minnesota, even if it is 60-70 degrees cooler. Cody Hendrickson is a senior at Fillmore Central High School. He is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its fourteenth year.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende Golden Gophers The basketball season may or may not be living up to its pre-season promise for both the Chatfield squads. Each is talented. Each has encountered some bumps in the 2012-2013 road. But on two separate nights, each shined like Klondike gold. The boys did a number on 3-Rivers co-leader Southland (8-1, 11-3). In the 1st half, one trend/stat stood out like the mother-load. The Goph’s (ridiculously) went 24 straight possessions without a turnover. Chat outscored the Reb’s 34-17 in that span. They built a 46-30 halftime lead. From there, Southland only got as close as eight. The Gophs convincingly won by thirteen, 81-68. They got balance from their starters Nate Skare (19 pts, 10 rebs), Jayme LaPlante (16 pts, 9 rebs), Mitch Irish (16 pts, 7 rebs), Jake Neis (11 pts, 7 assists), and Reid Danielson (7 pts, 6 rebs, 7 assists, 3 blks). Southland did too, from 4 of 5 starters, Mike Goergen (17 pts, 7 rebs), Nick Schmitz (16 pts, 4 assists), Luke Anderson (12 pts, 11 rebs), and Decker Bendtsen (11 pts, 8 rebs). Sam Klaehn added 10 off the bench. Free throws aided the Gophers (11-18), hindered the Reb’s (5-16). Chatfield shot 48 percent (31-64), Southland 38 percent (26-68). The girls hosted undefeated (17-0), 5th ranked Dover-Eyota. The Eagles entered the game having played only three single digit contests (K-M 68-60, Caledonia 69-61, P-E-M 61-58), averaging 74.4 PPG. An earlier contest saw D-E shel-
lack Chat 69-43. The second meeting was quite different. A 16 to 4 mid-first-half run helped Chatfield to a 41-28 halftime lead. They led by as many as 21 in the 2nd, and 68-52 with 4:00 left. They were in control. Then, they got conservative offensively. D-E got frantic defensively. The result was a 14-1 Eagle run. Megan Ihrke’s 3-pointer (under 0:20) put the visitors within three (69-66). But Sidney Irish subsequently closed the door, nailing a pair of FT’s with 0:10 left. The Gophers stunned D-E and handed them their first loss 71-68. Four starters, MaKenzie Miller (16 pts, 10 rebs), Kirsten Keefe (15 pts, 6 rebs, 6 assists), Maddie Talamantes (11 pts), and Traci McDonald (8 pts, 7 rebs, 6 assists), plus the Irish reserves, Brook (9 pts, 7 rebs) and Sidney (8 pts), all contributed heavily. Soph Brandi Blattner (17 pts, 15 rebs) and senior Sarah Pease (16 pts, 5 rebs) led D-E. Making 18 of 29 first half 2-point FG’s spurred the Goph’s into the lead. The 3-Rivers girls race looks like this: D-E (12-1, 17-1), Southland (12-1, 14-2), Caledonia (9-3, 13-4), P-E-M (9-4, 13-5), and Chatfield (9-4, 11-6). Worked and Progressed Very early in the year, the Kingsland girls downed R-P 47-34. The Trojans shot horribly (1-20 from deep). They were implementing a new system (the ‘R-P boys’ system). It was a struggle. The Knights took advantage. A month-plus later, R-P’s progressed. It just didn’t look like it at halftime. Kingsland led 25-19, utiliz-

ing roughly the same M.O. as meeting #1 (at times, good passing to beat R-P’s 1-3-1). That lead ballooned to 11 early in the 2nd half. Then Trojan Sierra McNamer hit back-toback threes. She put R-P back in the game (down 30-27). From there, FTs were crucial. All told, the Trojans made 20 of 26. On eight occasions, they sank both shots. Kingsland was 9 of 19 (5 of 13 in the 2nd half ). Hope Morrison (a Trojan reserve junior F) also made a couple huge shots. The first was a 3-pointer that capped a 4-point possession and put R-P up 39-35 (5:00). The second was a 2-pointer (3:30) that put R-P back in the lead, 41-40, for good. In the final 3:30, they made 9 of 10 FT’s. They got the win 50-42. McNamer was huge in the 2nd half (10 pts, 8 rebs, 5 stls; 12 pts, 10 rebs, 7 stls for the game). Amy Todd had 12 points and 7 rebounds. Cody Manfull scored 10 (6-6 FT’s late). Lizzie Tart (10 pts, 10 rebs, 6-6 FTs), Marissa Bornholdt (10 pts), and Cheyenne Losey (5 pts, 10 rebs, 4 assists, 5 stls) led Kingsland.

Chatfield Wrestling
Chatfield 120-pound wrestler Hank Friederichs is Athlete of the Week. The sophomore didn’t do anything extraordinary except improve his record to 26-0 on the season with three more wins. He has yet to wrestle out a decision victory. He’s won every match by pin, major decision, tech fall, or forfeit. Friederichs is ranked #4 in state at 120 in Class A. He is one of the many reasons Chatfield is ranked #9 in Class A.

High School Football in the southeastern corner of the state of Minnesota will have a new scheduling format beginning this fall. The twenty five schools that make up the TRC (Three Rivers Conference) and the HVL (Hiawatha Valley League) have combined to create the Southern Football Alliance. The alliance is made up of three divisions based on student enrollment in grades 7-12. The Red Division is made up of the eight largest schools, the White houses the eight medium sized schools and the Blue is home to the nine smallest schools. •Red Division- Byron, Cannon Falls, Kasson-Mantorville, La-Crescent, Lake City, Plainview-Elgin-Millville, Lourdes and Stewartville. •White Division- Cotter, Dover-Eyota, Kenyon-Wanamingo, Lewiston-Altura, Pine Island, St. Charles, Triton and Zumbrota-Mazeppa. •Blue Divison- Caledonia, Chatfield, Fillmore Central, Goodhue, Hayfield, Kingsland, Rushford-Peterson, Southland and Wabasha-Kellogg. The MSHSL (Minnesota State High School League) has used the “zero week concept” the past two years to help teams schedule eight games. This concept allows schools to play the regularly scheduled eight game season,
2x2 beginning 1/27/2013 1/27/2013 2x2 & 2x4 ads to run ONE TIME, the week beginning
with a bye week. To make this happen, all zero week teams start practice and have a game a week earlier than the regular MSHSL season. Because R-P is in the nine team division, the zero week concept will be used for the next two football seasons. This fall R-P high school football will start practice on Monday, August 5th and the first varsity game will be on August 23rd at Southland. Please let me know if you have any questions in regards to the Southern Football Alliance and the schedule changes.

ton, and visited Itasca State Park. They tested the headwaters of the Mississippi in a lab event, had a picnic lunch, then had a lesson in archery, something Bue had never tried before. They also had an Amazing Race event where they rode ten miles on bike, had exploration time, a cookout supper, trust games, and camping. “It was a smaller group than last year,” said Bue, who had gone on a trip to Wisconsin in 2011. She said this coming summer they will be going to Missouri and Illinois, and she would like to go even if she doesn’t get any credits for it. “The number of friends I have made is amazing,” shared Bue. There was a question from the board about expenses, and Willette said the FFA Chapter paid half last year. This year because of camping, the costs were down a little, at $250 per student. Willette also updated the board on the greenhouse project. He said the structure is up and the roof is halfway done. There is power to the building now. There is grant money that

can only be used to purchase the things inside the greenhouse, such a furniture. Willette said they are researching fundraiser opportunities for the greenhouse to be involved in, such as possibly selling hanging flower baskets. “We are on track, and our goal is to get it up and running as soon as possible,” said Willette. Organization New council members Terri Scott and Christine Troendle were sworn in. Dave Ruen will continue to be the Chairperson, Dave Lawstuen the Vice Chair, Lolly Melander the Treasurer and Steve Snyder the Clerk. Committee assignments were chosen and approved. The Republican-Leader will remain the legal paper for the district, and Associated Bank the official depository. Richard Nethercut is the official legal counsel, and the board meeting schedule will remain the same. Salaries for board members, which have not been changed since 2007, will remain the same. A contract for Kammy Highum was approved for kitchen employment.

Ross Kiehne and Jim Love were also sworn in, as they had been re-elected. The officers for 2013 will remain the same, with Kiehne the Chairperson, Craig Britton, Vice Chair; Deb Ristau, clerk; and Sue Sikkink, treasurer. The board salaries will remain the same as last year. The committee assignments were approved, with a few changes. The drivers training fees will also remain the same.

Farm Family recognition nominations Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties The Fillmore County Extension Committee is asking your help in identifying potential farm families for recognition by the University of Minnesota. The Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over two decades and Jerrold Tesmer honors farm families throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture
industry and their local communities. All of the previously-honored farm families have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities. To learn about the program, check the website at http://mnfarmfamilies.cfans.umn.edu/ Please nominate an individual or family, using the criteria below. Farm Families should be Minnesota food producers actively involved in agricultural production with one or more agricultural enterprises. Beyond the usual agricultural endeavors, please also include these production areas for consideration: potato, vegetable,

fruits, berries, aquaculture, agriforestry, and renewable energy supplies. Or they have made significant short-term progress and/ or innovative contributions with their agricultural endeavors. For example, consider producers who are relatively new to this country, someone who has developed an innovative method for a particular environmental problem, adopted a rotational grazing system, added alternative or value-added crops, etc. All nominees should also have demonstrated a commitment to enhancing and supporting the fields of agriculture and production, have some involvement in their communities and/or related organizations; and not have been previously recognized by the Farm Family Program. Honorees are generally recognized at the Fillmore County Fair and are then invited to attend Farmfest for a recognition event. It is not necessary for farm families to attend this event in order to be nominated. At Farmfest, honorees will be recognized by sponsoring college deans and directors. Past farm families from Fillmore County that have already been recognized include: 1984

Why should I pre-plan my funeral? Pre-planning one’s funeral can seem like a daunting task. In reality it’s a simple process that we guide you through, giving you a sense of comfort knowing your wishes will be carried out. You will have the opportunity to choose the type of service you prefer and make known your wishes as to the type of merchandise that suits you. Frequently at arrangement conferences I hear, “I wonder what Dad would have wanted?” Families often tell me that they were relieved to have readings, music, and flower preferences of their loved one preplanned. Most often individuals choose to prefund their funeral. This gives you the added comfort of knowing those funds will be protected in a funeral trust or burial insurance policy. In cases in which the help of Medical Assistance becomes necessary, the preplanned funds will not count toward one’s assets.

I know what I want to do with my property when I die. Can I just write down what I want on a piece of paper? No. Almost every state requires witnesses to sign on a will. Some states will waive this requirement if the will is made entirely in the individual’s handwriting. These are called “holographic wills”. Minnesota is not one of these states. It does not allow for holographic wills. If Minnesota law governs the execution of the will, and that usually boils down to whether you live in Minnesota, it must be witnessed by two people. If you have wishes you want respected at your death, meet with a licensed attorney to ensure it meets the requirements the particular state has for wills.

Trading in a vehicle Is there a certain time of the year to trade in a vehicle and get the most value for it? Sometimes right after the 1st of the year is a good time to trade in your older vehicle. Why is this you ask? Because a lot of people who get a tax refund file early and are looking for a 2nd vehicle. Usually this 2nd vehicle is under $5,000. Most dealers realize this and will give you more for your trade-in starting in late fall. This is not etched in stone but the majority of the time this is the case. I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Sometimes the domain name is registered by somebody else other than the owner of the business, and the person who registered the domain name is the only one who can request any changes to be made pertaining to that domain name. Also, some registrars -- the keepers of domains -- take longer to process a transfer request. We’ve seen the process take up to two months with large bureaucratic corporate registrars. So, when you claim your domain name, make sure you have control over it. Don’t let someone claim it for you unless you trust them. At SMG Web Design, we’ll help you through the process of selecting and securing your domain name.

Jeff Christian does the power steering fluid ever need to be changed? Not normally, but it should be if the steering rack or pump are ever replaced. Under normal circumstances, the fluid in the power steering system should last the life of the vehicle (or the life of the major power steering components, whichever comes first). But as the system accumulates miles, microscopic particles of metal and rubber can build up in the fluid. These particles can act like an abrasive and accerlate pump and gear wear, so the fluid should be changed if the original pump or rack has failed to prevent contaminating the new parts with dirty fluid. Even though the fluid in your power steering system does not normally require changing, it’s a good idea to check the fluid level periodically (say once a month or when changing the engine oil and filter). If the level is low, add fluid as needed to bring it up to the full level (hot or cold). Then inspect the hose, pump and steering gear for leaks. More than a few ounces of fluid in the rubber bellows of a power steering rack indicates internal wear and leakage. Always use the type of fluid specified by the vehlice manufacturer.
Lacking Winter Landscape Interest? Gardeners in our region have plenty of reasons to get cold feet about winter: Plants are at rest and their colors dissipate, leaving a palette of white, gray and brown. In this dormant period, you may think there are few winter landscaping fixes you can do. In fact, careful planning in spring, summer and fall plus easy winter accents, can lead to a beautiful landscape that stands out in a stark winter season. Look for some of these things for winter interest: 1.Focus on bark, 2.Remember Evergreens, 3. Include berries, 4. Enhance your hardscape, 5. Adorn your summertime containers, and 6.Utilize four-season perennials. Now is the best time to start dreaming and planning for your landscape improvements. You will be ahead of the game and one of the first to make a design contact when the weather starts to warm.

St. Paul Street improvement By Karen Reisner Public Works Director Jim Bakken reported at the Preston City Council’s January 22 meeting that the county is considering a mill and overlay project on CSAH 17 (St. Paul Street) from Fillmore Street to the south bridge, before the power plant. Councilman Charles Sparks was absent. Bakken related the work would probably be scheduled for July or August. He confirmed that the water and sewer utilities are in good shape under that section of street. Core drillings collected by the county found that there was a variety of surfaces under the street including brick, cement and gravel. The city will be responsible for the cost of new curb and gutter (300 to 400 feet), the provision
of a cement edge (walkway) connecting to the brick side street, and at least part of the cost of fixing or replacing a couple of catch basins. Sidewalks are also in poor condition and would be fully the city’s responsibility. Bakken estimated the total city cost could be about $20,000. Small Cities Grant In May of 2012 the city council approved a resolution to act as legal sponsor for HRA/ Semcac to seek small cities grant funds to assist with the acquisition and updating of the Vesterheim apartment complex. The application was extended to request funding to renovate up to 15 low to moderate income homes in November of 2012. The intention is to bring the homes up to code and to make them more energy efficient.
Paper LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Of all the materials recycled here in Fillmore County, paper is, by far, the largest component, making up somewhere between forty and fifty percent by weight and volume. Newspaper was the first thing I remember bringing to the recycling center and being paid a few cents per pound. This, LaVerne to many, Paulson seemed to be a much better alternative than adding it to the burn barrel and igniting it with the rest of the household garbage on a regular basis. Today, the Fillmore County Recycling Center still gladly accepts newspaper as well as
most other forms of fiber. Fillmore County’s recyclable fibers include, but are not limited to newspaper, cardboard, boxboard, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, office paper, advertisements, paperback books, hard cover books, paper grocery bags, animal feed bags, school papers, phone books, spiral notebooks, and shredded paper contained in closed paper bags or closed cardboard boxes. However, not all forms of fiber are recyclable. Recyclable fiber must be clean and dry. The tops of take home pizza boxes are usually soiled, but the sides and bottoms are not. The tops should be placed into landfill garbage, and the rest of the box recycled. Fridge packs of pop and frozen food boxes are meant to withstand the extra moisture often found in a refrigerator or freezer. They are coated with a wax-like

To qualify the homes must be owner occupied. Surveys are being sent out to home owners. There will be a public hearing on February 4. Grant applications are due February 28. The grant amount per home will be a maximum of $22,000. There is no cost to the city other than some staff time. The city staff does accounting and pays the contractors. After the contractor is paid, the amount is submitted to the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) for reimbursement. Other Business In Brief •A resolution was adopted encouraging law makers to maintain the tax exemption for municipal bonds. Preston is looking at about $4 million in infrastructure improvements over the next ten years. Without the tax exemption for purchas-
ers (a bond buyer doesn’t pay federal tax on earned interest) of the bonds it is estimated that interest rates on those bonds will be 1.5 to 2.0 percent higher. This could cost Preston residents about $600 per household over the life of this bond. On a 15 year bond that would be about $40 per household per year. The resolution will be sent to Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken and Congressman Tim Walz. •Every three years public jurisdictions (in this case city/utility) are required to submit a report to the state to show they are in compliance with Pay Equity requirements. City Administrator Joe Hoffman reported the city is in compliance. The implementation form was approved. •Ambulance Director Ryan Throckmorton reported 2012 write offs of $30,643.60 for
substance to keep them from absorbing water and falling apart. This wax covering causes problems in the recycling process making these forms of boxboard unrecyclable at this time. Envelopes with bubble wrap, laminated paper, used facial tissue and napkins along with paper towels, fast food wrappers, and soiled paper plates are some other examples of fiber not suitable for recycling. Egg cartons have most likely lived their seven lives and cannot be recycled again. They do, however, make great compost material or golf ball containers. Nearly 40 percent of new paper products is recycled paper. Recycling one ton of paper saves at least 17 trees, 275 pounds of sulfur, 350 pounds of limestone, 9,000 pounds of steam, 225 kilowatt hours of electricity, three cubic feet of landfill space, and at least 5,000 gallons of water. Each year, junk mail delivered throughout the United States, most of which is recyclable, would fill 340,000 garbage trucks if it was deposited in a landfill and not recycled. Approximately 20 tons of fiber pass through your recycling center each week. All that paper, cardboard, and other recyclable fiber is headed for paper mills in the Twin Cities and throughout the Midwest where it will be ground up, made into a pulp and then
into large rolls of paper. New post consumer (recycled) paper products such as newsprint, paper towels, cardboard, cereal boxes, egg cartons, animal bedding, gift boxes, game boards, and toilet tissue will be back in your house in a few short weeks. By the way, the American Forest and Paper Association has calculated that consumption of recovered paper in the United States during November of 2012 was 2.26 million tons. That most likely saved a sizable chunk of a forest that can be enjoyed by our furry and feathered friends this winter, and possibly even a human or two. I am sure they are all quite appreciative.
2012 and 2011 write offs of $4,736.41. Write offs are expected each year as they are the difference between the service’s standard rates and what private insurance/Medicare/Medicaid reimburse. For 2012 the write off is 17.9 percent of the total billed. The 2011 A/R balance write offs of $5,214.22 consist of largely uncollectable accounts. This amount is 4 percent lower than in previous years. It was noted that the city can still pursue collection, but acknowledges that it is unlikely to collect. The write offs were approved. •Volunteers for Trout Day Committee are needed. There is to be a meeting Wednesday, January 30 at 6 p.m. at city hall. Three members of the committee have stepped down. Three or four more volunteers are needed.

Lanesboro Arts Center exhibit “Traditions in Transition: The Art of Redefined” runs Feb. 9 through March Lanesboro Arts Center opens the 2013 Exhibition Gallery season with an exhibit showcasing work by nationally-acclaimed, award-winning Lanesboro jewelers Liz Bucheit and Michael Seiler. “Traditions in Transition: The Art of Jewelry Redefined” opens on Saturday, February 9 with a public artist reception from 6-8 p.m. at the Lanesboro Arts Center in Lanesboro, Minn. Free to the public and handicapped accessible, the exhibit will run through March 30, 2013. In the exhibit, each artist redefines the context in which we interpret the art of adornment. Bucheit lifts traditional Scandinavian filigree out of its historical roots and fashions fresh contemporary pieces. Seiler invites the viewer into his artistic process by pairing his original poetry with each finished jewel. Both artists combine 2D full color broadside images in conjunction with the jewelry displayed to represent how the work “works” not just on the body but also as artworks themselves. The exhibit is sponsored by Inspire(d) Media, and presented in cooperation with the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, Inc. through funding from the Minnesota State Legislature and the McKnight Foundation.
Liz Bucheit creates jewelry and body adornment inspired by Scandinavian folklore and myth. A goldsmith for over 30 years, she holds a Master’s degree in metalworking and jewelry from the University of Iowa, Iowa City and has trained in traditional jewelry and metalworking techniques both in Ireland and Norway. Liz has won numerous design competitions and has been awarded grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board, the McKnight Foundation, Sons of Norway, and the SE Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC). She has exhibited in museums and cultural centers and her bridal tiaras and wedding jewelry are in numerous collections. Liz is an active speaker on the topic of Norwegian filigree work and conducts workshops and classes on jewelry design and fabrication. She owns and operates Crown Trout Jewelers in Lanesboro, Minn. Michael Seiler is a goldsmith and jewelry designer in Lanesboro, Minn. and has been working in the metal arts since 1995 mastering the techniques of fabrication, stone setting, wax carving, stone cutting and stone inlay work. He has worked with a number of
prominent local designers as well as instructed metal working classes in Minnesota including Minnetonka Center for the Arts and the North House Folk School in Grand Marais. Michael is a recipient of the McKnight Established Artist Grant from SEMAC. His jewelry designs were recently exhibited at the Dahl Center for the Arts, Rapid City SD. His goals are to create new and innovative techniques in stone setting and ring design combining lapidary and metal work, and to bring the imagination of his original poetry into a solid form that can be
touched, held and worn. Providing year-round arts programming for more than thirty years, Lanesboro Arts Center’s mission is to serve as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing diverse art experiences for people of all ages. For more information visit www.lanesboroarts.org or contact 507-467-2446 / info@lanesboroarts.org. The Gallery is located at 103 Parkway Ave N. in Lanesboro, Minnesota; winter hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

It started by saying something positive to classmates in his high school and soon the idea took off on twitter and became
Butternut Squash, Maple Syrup, and Sage
2 pounds butternut squash 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ cup tomatoes, diced ½ cup cheddar cheese 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1/2 tablespoon minced sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried 1/2 teaspoons salt ¼ teaspoon pepper Cut the butternut squash in half through the stem end and scoop out seeds and strings. Arrange cut side up and brush lightly with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 to 40 min. at 375° until almost tender. Remove from oven, uncover, and add the prepared mixture to the middle of the squash. Bake an additional 20 min. Girl Scout Cookies are here in time for the

a movement. Just as the negativity of the past had spread across the web, now a splash of kindness had replaced it. The teens had not only sent compliments to classmates, but in a benevolent mood also to teachers and others. Tweets were soon buzzing among other teens on the web and spreading at the speed of nimble fingers used to feats of extreme texting. Pair this effort with Ann Curry’s 26 acts of kindness, in response to the 20 small children and six teachers killed in a senseless act of violence, and the response has been embraced by many around the world. In another segment, a notion dubbed the “Gratitude Gap” was discussed. Most people appreciate family, yes, including spouses, but only half tell them by giving a compliment. It seems as though positive comments or acts of kindness is a movement that is worthy of continuing. In the mood of our discontent with politicians, the inequity between the rich and the middle class, prices going up, and winter in Minnesota itself, it is easy to be grouchy. Numerous studies show a positive attitude in general, not always easy to achieve among the daily stresses of life, is also better for our wellbeing. Imagine a world where the recipient of a positive message or kindness pays it forward each time. Perhaps, “Minnesota nice” could be the rule instead of the exception, at least in our little corner of the world, if not beyond.

Biologists from Taiwan and Need Copies ? Germany to speak at Owl Festival If you’d like to get a taste of foreign culture along with inspirational stories of people helping owls, register now to attend the 11th Annual International Festival of Owls banquet on Saturday, March 2 in Houston, MN. The 2013 World Owl Hall of Fame Awards will be presented at the banquet and Dr. Wolfgang Scherzinger from Germany and Dr. Lucia Liu Severinghaus from Taiwan will each take you on a tour of some of their life’s work with owls. With a little luck, Francis Kithure from Kenya will also speak about his work changing negative cultural attitudes about owls on Sunday afternoon. No pre-registration is required for this presentation, only an admission button which can be purchased at the door.
Serious photographers will want to register for the Festival’s outdoor photography sessions with the owls on Sunday. Although the birds are captives, they are posed on natural perches and their equipment is usually hidden so you get shots that look like wild owls in this well-regulated session. This event always sells out. Sunday morning again gives you a taste of culture, both local and foreign, with a birding and natural history bus tour that concludes with a lunch at Houston’s authentic German restaurant. The registration fee includes the meal. For more information about these and other Festival events and to register, go to www.festivalofowls.com or contact the Houston Nature Center at 507896-4668.

Radioactive gas is persistent health risk in Minnesota Every hour, one person in the US dies from radon-related lung cancer. It is the largest environmental cancer risk and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Fortunately, the risk is largely preventable. Fillmore County Public Health and the Minnesota Department of Health recommend that all homes in Minnesota be tested for radon. It’s the
only way to know if your home has an elevated level of radon, which can cause lung cancer. Radon is an odorless, colorless and tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in Minnesota soils and can enter homes through cracks and openings in basement or foundation floors and walls. Kits will be available from Public Health on January 31,

You may also contact FCPH by emailing bpohlman@ co.fillmore.mn.us MDH estimates that one in three existing Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a large health risk over many years of exposure. In Fillmore County, 54.8 percent of homes tested have radon above the recommended level of 4 pCi/L. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and more than 21,000 deaths are attributed to radon each year. Radon exposure, however, is largely preventable. First, test your home to see if you have elevated radon levels. Fillmore
Minnesota Beef Cow/Calf Days
County offers short-term tests which can be done in less than a week or long-term tests that can run for months. Both types of kits are available at no cost. In homes with levels over 4.0 pCi/L, homeowners should consider verification testing and possibly installing a mitigation system, which will remove radon from your home. The final step is to encourage friends, family, and coworkers to test their own homes for radon. For more information on radon testing and mitigation visit www.health.state.mn.us/ radon or call the Minnesota Department of Health Indoor Air Unit at 651-201-4601 or 1-800-798-9050. Anyone inter-
ested in mitigating his or her home for radon should consult MDH’s list of certified radon mitigation contractors at http:// www.health.state.mn.us/divs/ eh/indoorair/radon/mitigation. html.
