William Mensink was granted authorization to do business at the Fillmore County Airport at the County Board’s September 27 meeting. The authorization is required by the state.

Mensink’s business, “Slip Skid Aviation, LLC,” will offer aircraft appraisals, aviation consulting, and aircraft sales. Commissioner Duane Bakke said the additional business should complement the current business at the airport.

Isaac Deters already offers maintenance and flight training. He also has an aircraft dealer’s license, which he uses mostly to buy airplanes that are in need of repairs.

Mensink explained much of his business will be conducted on the Internet, over the phone, or on the road. He hopes to operate in the Tri-state area within about a 150 mile radius.

Public Health Lantha Stevens, Public Health, reported the county has received a $27,000 U-Care grant to be

used for prevention and for the reduction of obesity among the older population. They hope to target a group of citizens that don’t have regular doctor checkups. The funds will be used to check cholesterol levels and to promote a healthy lifestyle.

On Monday, September 19, an immunization Drive Thru Flu exercise was conducted. Law enforcement helped with the exercise where immunizations were administered to those in cars, on bicycles, and on foot. The shots were given in the parking lot near the county office building. The exercise was a test to see if the drive-thru method would be an efficient and safe way to give vaccinations in an emergency situation.

Spring Valley to get Rescue Lift for ambulance

By Gary Peterson The Spring Valley City Council met on Monday, September 26 and dealt with several items on a rather thin agenda.

Members of the Spring Valley Area Ambulance Service will be seeing a new piece of equipment in two of their units. Approval was given to purchase two Rescue Lifts, which is billed as the latest in lift innovation. It was designed to prevent lifting- related injuries for rescue workers that need to lift someone in an emergency situation. The unit can lift up to 500 pounds. It can be assembled at the scene, able to set up in less than a minute. The cost of the two units is $1,500 and is a budgeted item. It is hoped that the device will result in fewer back injury claims.

Council also approved a cell phone allowance which is being made available to exempt employees only and non-exempt with Council approval. The city offers employees the option to receive a cell phone allowance of $40.00 per month starting the first of the year, and will not require the separation of personal and business-related calls.

Reports from the Department Heads outlined a new project at the Ambulance Service. Director Jim Cooper told the council that he has applied for a portable Rehab response inflatable shelter that would assist firemen and other workers to receive treatment at the scene of a fire. Cooper said he is looking for funds to purchase an enclosed trailer containing various pieces of equip-

ment. He is hoping to see it in operation by the end of March.

Fire Chief Chris Czapiewski brought the council up to date on the purchase of an additional grass fire vehicle. The City of Preston has had a State-purchased unit, and now the state says they need to downsize. As a result, the grass rig is available for $15,000. The new unit would be of value for the city and rural customers.

There is an effort underway to make musical events at the new pavilion a regular event. City Administrator Deb Zimmer said that an informal poll was taken and it seems most folks will prefer to have Sunday night as the day of the week. As a result, the city is looking for donations to help defray the costs throughout the summer.

There will be a meeting on October 24th following the Council meeting to invite in residents of South Broadway. The design meeting for rebuilding the street will be an opportunity for everyone to see the details of the project and get their questions answered.

Mayor Struzyk said that he had attended a League of Minnesota Cities meeting in Pine Island and he said that the discussion continues about funding for the next year and how the challenges of reduced budgets will be answered. He said; “Nobody wants to spend money but this year all I hear is that no one knows what’s going on.” A concern as we go into budget time.

Kingsland School Board approves maximum proposed levy

By Kevin Blanchard The Kingsland School board certified the maximum property tax levy for 2012 in their meeting Monday, September 19.

“We certified the maximum instead of a specific dollar amount in the event that the state has made and error or a correction needs to be done, we don’t have to come back and recertify an amount,” Kathy Beevers, Business Manager, said. “Any adjustments, plus or minus, can then be accounted for and sent to the county auditors as they prepare tax statements that will be sent out after Christmas.”

The proposed total levy, which totals $2,033,537.67, represents a 4.68 percent increase compared to the 2011 levy. A Truth in Tax-

ation public hearing will be held on December 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the district office to review the proposed 2012 levy. The regularly scheduled school board meeting will follow the public hearing.

Superintendent John McDonald reported that enrollment this fall is 639 students, down 16 students from last year. “We graduated a large class of 73 students last spring,” he said. “We started all-day kindergarten this year and have 62 students this fall.

We have been in declining enrollment for the past few years. We hope we have bottomed out.”

The next school board meeting will be Monday, October 17 at 7 p.m. in the district conference room.

2011 Fall Cheerleading Camp

The Mabel-Canton Varsity Cheerleaders hosted a Cheer Camp on Sept. 17th, 2011. The camp was held at the M-C School and was open to all students grades K-6. We had 21 girls attend.

The girls learned cheers, games and fun ways to promote spirit and good sportsmanship in our school!

Some fun things that the camp Cheerleaders were able to be a part of was the Homecoming Coronation on Tuesday, Sept.

20th where they kicked off with enthusiasm performing three cheers and getting the crowd going with a GO COUGARS cheer!

They were also a factor in the Friday Pep Fest with the Student Council and Varsity Cheerleaders.

This is a photo from coronation of the group before they performed on stage They performed their cheers to the staff and student body and

some of the girls came out to help cheer on the Cougars to a victory

this past Thursday and Friday!

The School Garden has proven to be a successful project and fruitful for the community!

Many families have benefited from the harvest of vegetables from the garden as well as the local food shelf. Cabbage, cauliflower, corn, tomatoes by the wagonful, peppers, pumpkins and more have been enjoyed by the local families, and the kids at school have enjoyed trying new kinds of watermelon and tomatoes with their daily school lunch.

Trying new things and seeing how plants grow was a big part of working in this garden. The students at Mabel-Canton (big and small alike) have gotten their hands dirty learning.

The garden is still producing and the children are still enjoying the benefits of learning how to live a healthier lifestyle!

C ommentary Campaigns to be flush despite weak economy

By Karen Reisner Be prepared to be carpet bombed by political ads as never before leading up to the 2012 elections. There are estimates that from $6 to $8 billion will fuel campaigns, with over half of that money funding TV, radio ads, Karen Reisner and to a lesser extent, print and online media.

This grossly excessive amount will have an effect on the election of the president, Congress, and state government offices. In the 2008 presidential election cycle about $5 billion was spent on campaigns.

This seems like an obscene amount of money, especially in a weak economy, and as much as a 60 percent increase from 2008; inflation on steroids. Much of the increase is expected due to the January 2010, U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case, “Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission.” The Supreme Court basically ruled money equals speech. It confirms what Letter about Head Start To the Editor, As a former employee of Semcac’s Head Start Program, I can attest to the program’s productive benefits for the Head Start child, as well as for their family. Over the years I was employed in the program, I witnessed the educational advantages for nearly one thousand children in four different counties whose parent(s) could not afford other preschool opportunities for their child.

Not only does Head Start provide early education for children, it also assists the health needs for the child, early intervention for special needs children, and wonEditorial Cartoon

According to the Minnesota Department of Education, there are 1,048 schools not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) out of a total of 6,320 schools in the state of Minnesota. Schools getting placed on AYP is equivalent to being placed on probation for underperforming compared to state standards, which can affect state aide. That’s 16.6 percent of the schools in the state that are falling behind based on MCA testing results. In the past few years, nearly all of the school districts in Fillmore County have not made AYP. As many school administrators have indicated, every school in the state will not make AYP at some point.

When looking at Fillmore County schools, it appears that RushfordPeterson Public Schools are coming out ahead of the pack with a combined seven grade levels in math, reading or science achieving the highest average scores amongst the local collection of school districts.

Right behind Rushford-Peterson Public Schools would be the MabelCanton Public School District with leading average scores in four grade levels for reading, math and science.

Fillmore Central sets preliminary levy

By Jade Wangen The Fillmore Central School Board set their preliminary levy during their regular meeting on September 27. Superintendent Richard Keith said the levy, which was set at $1,621,231.60, is a 5.54 percent increase over last year. He explained the reason for that is the change the legislature made to the Homestead Market Value Credit, which was taken away and replaced with the Homestead Market Value Exclusion.

Keith further explained the changes were meant to save the state $261 million, and local governments can do nothing about this. The exclusion reduces the taxable value of smaller homesteads, which is made up by an increase in property taxes for larger homesteads, farms, and businesses.

“Districts that are rural and don’t have a lot of expensive homesteads are going to pay a higher property tax percentage-wise compared to what it was,” said Keith.

Keith added entities that are taxing people, such as schools and cities, are going to have to tax a higher rate, meaning most people will pay a higher property tax.

The final levy will be decided after the Truth in Taxation hearing on December 20 at 6:30 in the High School Media Center.

Junior High Tapestry Choir teacher Sarah Holten told the board that last year seventh and eighth graders were asking her when they could have a tapestry group. This year, she had a sign-up sheet to see how many people would be interested. Holten said she was surprised when 18 out of the 29 students in 7-8 grade choir showed interest in joining tapestry.

Holten said they would practice on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Right now, High School tapestry practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She said the only cost to the district would be the music, which would run about

Become a Master Gardenermore than pulling weeds Master Gardeners do love digging in the soil. But you may not realize the scope of their involvement in the community. Minnesota Master Gardeners assist University of Minnesota faculty with research projects and varietal trials, advice city officials on how to create community gardens, Jerrold Tesmer partner with schools to teach students about composting, empower people to grow their own food, work with foresters to help limit the spread of emerald ash borer, teach homeowners sustainable ways to manage yard waste, improve the state’s water quality with shoreline plantings and rain gardens, and much more.

Master Gardeners are paraprofessionals that are vital to Extension’s goal of getting research-based information to Minnesotans. If you’d like to give back to your community through projects like these, contact the Fillmore County Extension Office

507-765-3896, the Houston County Extension Office 507-725-5807, or the Master Gardener state program office at http://www1.extension. umn.edu/master-gardener/ for application information and class times.

And don’t worry — you’ll probably get to pull some weeds, too.

The steps to becoming a Master Gardener: 1. Be accepted by your local program-Contact the County Extension Office and request an application packet. You’ll need to complete the application, have an interview, and pass a background check.

2. Complete the Core Course training-The Master Gardener Core Course, designated HORT 1003 through the University of Minnesota, gives you 48 class hours horticulture training. It’s taught by Extension educators and faculty, and is available in the Twin Cities area and online. Topics include soils, entomology, gardening resources, diagnostics, trees, herbaceous plants, lawn care, plant pathology, and more.

3. Complete you’re internshipAfter completing HORT 1003, your internship will continue with 50

$250, and the stipend. Students participating would pay a $35 fee for the year, the same as kids in Jazz Band. Lane Powell gets a $1,400 stipend for Jazz Band, and the board agreed on that amount for Holten.

Holten said she would like the Junior High Tapestry to have two concerts and be involved in the holiday concert. She added that will be taking place at Wheeler’s in Harmony this year instead of the Branding Iron.

Olstad said he believes it would be great for the choir program, and he thinks it’s an excellent idea.

Winter Sports Coaches Athletic Director Jane Montgomery spoke to the board about winter sports coaching changes.

She said they would definitely need to find another junior high girls’ basketball coach, as there are 19 girls. Deb and Kelsey Ristau will be coaching seventh grade girls, and Montgomery will ask a staff member to coach eighth grade hours of volunteer time to be completed within the first year of participation.

4. Celebrate!-When your internship is done, you’ll start the next calendar year as an active Master Gardener in your community.

5. Stay involved-To maintain your active Master Gardener status, you will complete at least 25 hours of volunteer time and required continuing education per year.

The 2012 Master Gardener Core Course will be offered at the U of M St. Paul Campus, January 14- February 9, Saturdays 9 am to 4 pm, Tues/ Thurs evenings 5:30 to 8:30. Or Online (new topic weekly) January 9 –May 4. Cost for 2012 Core Course will be $275.

before advertising for the position.

The boys’ basketball coaches are the same as they have been the last couple of years.

Principal and Dean of Student Reports Principal Heath Olstad said the school year is off to a great start.

They had a great homecoming week, and he said the cheerleaders did a great job at the game and the pep fest. He said the parade went well, and there was great community involvement.

Olstad also said the mid-quarter grades will be available on October 5 for parents that are registered for online access. For other parents, grades will be sent home.

Dean of Students Chris Mensink said the elementary students had their annual bus safety evacuation drills. The sixth graders had their conservation trip to Forestville State Park that day. He added that October 24 will be the first shared staff development day with the consortium, and it will be in Eyota. They are looking at getting a bus to take faculty there.

Other Business The board accepted the resignation of Heather Pfremmer, lead daycare teacher in the toddler room, and thanked her for her hard work. They also accepted the hire of Noelle Schuldt, Dody Raby, and Courtnie Long for the daycare.

The board accepted a $4,000 donation from the Fillmore Central Booster Club.

The October meeting date was changed to Wednesday, October 26 at 6:00 p.m. in Preston.

The board approved the following items: •Denise Paulson as a long-term sub for Ann Sparks while she is on medical leave.

•The certified staff seniority list.

•Graduate credit reimbursement for Tom Siebenaler for $160.

•The annual report for curriculum, instruction and student achievement.

•Contract for physical impairment services at an increase from 20 hours a year last year to 30 hours this year.

Continued from Page 1

completed a large window for the medical wing at Rochester Community and Technical College. Most recently, he completed an installation of medallions for the Discover Sculpture Explore Lanesboro medallion walking tour, and spoke with a restaurant in Minneapolis that is looking for a new front window.

Fillmore Central High School started an installation called a tessellated mosaic a few years ago. This year, art teacher Carrie Mathison has contacted Unnasch again to help continue with the project. Art students are able to create a tile that will be permanently installed on a wall in the high school.

Unnasch makes a living working hard, but he gets to do what he enjoys. “The only reason I’ve done what I do so long

is because I love it,” he shared.

“You have to keep moving, don’t stop unless it’s for a good reason or you need a break.”

Another fun project Unnasch has done he calls a “Guild of One.” He takes a bench with supplies and installs it somewhere in public. “People bring me junk and I make art out of it,” he explained.

Unnasch believes people have their highest standards when no one is looking. “They have full-on, unabashed passion,” he said. “They’re not doing it for an audience, they’re doing it for themselves. That’s key.”

His work sometimes has a social commentary aspect to it.

It is sometimes silly, sometimes sad, and sometimes reflective of the pathos of living.

Unnasch not only works on projects he has been hired to do, he does a lot of work for his own enjoyment. Much of that work has been displayed in muse-

re monotes from a country kitchen

by Vicki Christianson

Took a survey at work the other day to see how many of my co-workers knew how or actually “mended.”

Not too many!!

Some relied on their mothers or mothers-in-law, some hired a seamstress to do it, and some just tucked the ripped item away!! A couple of them did repairs and mended on a regular basis! Good for them!

Mom never taught any of us how to “mend.” She taught all of us how to sew a button back on and how to quickly sew a loose pant hem. She fixed all our rips and tears herself and usually by hand. When I got married, I relied on my mother-inlaw, who was a great seamstress, to fix any of my husband’s ripped jeans. However, when we moved to Silver City, Iowa (down in the southwest corner of Iowa), I couldn’t count on her any more. We usually only came back to Minnesota at Christmas time and Den thought he needed his jeans repaired a little more oftener than once a year! I had a nice little sewing kit that I had gotten as a shower gift, complete with assorted needles, thread, scissors and seam ripper. I tried hand sewing a patch onto a ripped bluejean, but it was near impossible

to get the needle pulled thru all the fabric. I even tried pulling the needle thru with a pair of pliers!

When Den saw how much trouble it was and how I was not enjoying “mending,” he took it upon himself to buy me a sewing machine that he saw for sale in the newspaper.

He paid $20 for a used black Singer that was mounted in a cabinet. It only went forward and backward – no zig zagging or fancy gadgets.

It had a knee lever you pushed to make the machine run. Between the two of us we managed to get the machine threaded, and I started playing around with some worn-out material in order to get the “feel” of the thing. Managed to get my finger in the way a time or two but didn’t have to go to the emergency room! Eventually, I felt comfortable with the machine and decided to tackle my first pair of jeans. Was a small rip by the back pocket. I carefully cut out my nice square piece of material from a really worn out pair of jeans and placed it on the torn spot. I nicely pinned it down and was ready to start sewing. I sewed all

around the square and then made a few more cross stitches so the patch would really stay on. Looked really good, except for the fact that I forgot to separate the front of the jean from the back of the jean and my stitching went right on through. My patched pocket was now stitched to the entire jean! Guess what – I got to use my brand new seam ripper and tear that patch out! Eventually I got the patch on and Den even wore the jeans to work the next day.

I did learn a few tricks to “mending” though. #1 – it’s best to put the patch on before you wash the jeans. Once you wash the pants you have lots of frayed edges and tons of string that have to be cut off and trimmed out.

This tends to make the hole even bigger!! #2 – spend some time deciding if the patch should be sewn on the outside of the jean or on the inside, and if you put it on the inside made sure the dark colored side is showing through the torn opening. #3- sometimes ironing the edges down before applying the patch to the outside makes for a nicer looking patch. #4-if you ever get a chance to buy iron on patches – do it!!!!! They work really, really well!!! I have upgraded sewing machines and have a nice one that Den also bought for me at an auction. I really like the zigzag feature!! That really keeps the patch on!! And having an open arm makes life much easier too. I still do a lot of mending, but mostly on jeans. One summer I did buy a simple pattern to make myself a top and it went quite well. Didn’t have any buttons or zippers, so I bought some cheap fabric and made about six tops from the same pattern.

Wore them when I cleaned house and mowed the yard and fed the pigs and weeded the garden. Didn’t want anyone getting too close a look at my “sewing” attempts!! Chalk that up to one of my many not too successful attempts in life!

Several people have asked me for that “crazy cake” recipe that I described in one of my previous articles. It is quite long so I have not printed it in my column. If you would like a copy, stop in at the bank in Harmony (where I work) or send me your address and I will be glad to mail you a copy.

Today’s recipe is from Kathy Whalen. She made it for a party I was at about 25 years ago and I loved it!!!

Fillmore County Sports Immovable vs. unstoppable

By Paul Trende Immovable vs Unstoppable It took all five sets to decide a victor. It boiled down to a powerful hitter versus a big blocking defense.

It was a good ending to the matchup of top Three Rivers volleyball squads Chatfield and Fillmore Central. In set one, the Gophers turned an 11-11 tie into a 21-15 lead only for the Falcons to tie it at 21. Team maroon and white then won 4 of 5 points to prevail 25-22. Set two was similar, only opposite. FC turned a 10-10 tie into a 17-12 advantage, only for the Goph’s to chip away (within one at 23-22), but come up short (25-23). Led by Erin Kammer, the third stanza was all Gophers. They never trailed enroot to a 25-21 victory. Backs against the wall in set #4, the Falcons flirted with a 3-1-match loss. Their first lead was 2-1, their second 23-22! A point later, senior Alex Peterson emphatically spiked the ball off three things, a Gopher, the ceiling, and the ground for game point (25-22)! In the deciding set, it looked as if Peterson would singlehandedly lead her Falcons to victory.

FC’s first five points were her hitting handiwork. They built an 8-4 lead.

The Gophers charged back though, tied the contest at ten, and then inched ahead 15-14 (carried by Kammer). FC, however, at the most critical point of the match, got Peterson to her spot. Three times, she was set up for game tying kills. Three times Chatfield’s defense blocked and dug strong. The final time, they set up their own heavy hitter, Kenna Moechnig. She spiked down game (16-14) and match (3-2) point. Peterson led everyone with 20 kills. Taylor Case added 14 with 13 digs. Morgan Malley was lead FC assistor with 37.

Moechnig (16 kills, 7 blocks), Kammer (14 kills), Gabrielle Salisbury (21 assists), and Alex Duxbury (29 digs and 6 aces) led the Gophers.

Mundt Point The phrase applies three ways. All

relate to 6’0” Lewiston-Altura senior hitter Jenny Mundt and her bearing on the VB contest between her Cards and Kingsland. First, the outcome of the match was a Mundt (mute) point (a silent or unspoken one).

L-A had it all the way. They did so cause of all the points Ms. Mundt scored attacking (13 kills), blocking (5.5 aces), and serving (5 aces).

Thirdly, Mundt authored a couple of exclamation points. The first came in game two. With the score 18-13, she took a seat on the bench. The Knights offense non-coincidentally picked up. They pulled within two a couple of times, but still trailed 24-21 when Mundt reentered the game.

The Knights served. The Cards set up Mundt. She slammed down game point. In set three, a pair of Mundt aces helped build L-A’s lead (to 8-3).

Three more later stoked it (to 22-11) to the point she was subbed for midserving session! The Knights again made a game of it, pulling to within two (23-21). They fell though, dropping the match 3-0 (10-25, 21-25, and 21-25). Jessica Kaster (3 kills, 5 blocks, 13 digs) and Cheyenne Losey (6 kills, 3 blocks) fought valiantly for the Knights. Emily Schlitter added 15 assists and 7 digs. L-A left with a 13-4 record.

0-3 Coug’s Stun 3-0 Larks in OT In week-three-football, MabelCanton fell to #8 Spring Grove 51-6.

Week four had then hosting #10 Grand Meadow in what looked to be an equally dubious task. But the evening turned sweet for the Cougars. They shocked the Super Larks.

Senior tailback Gabe Lind began the scoring, scampering 28-yards to give M-C an early lead. Backfield mate Jesse Amdahl extended the lead (to 14-0) just before the half with a 15-yard jaunt of his own. In the second half, the Larks rallied. They got a third quarter score to pull within seven (14-7). Then, with time waning in the 4th quarter, they got a 2-yard Landon Jacobson run (and

PAT), sending the contest to an extra period. There, the Cougars defense first held the Larks, and then, the man who started it all, Lind, ended it all. His 7-yard jaunt gave M-C the victory (20-14), there first, on homecoming no less.

Kicker-Extraordinaire Fillmore Central kicker Ryan Mayer played a whale of a game against Wabasha-Kellogg. He didn’t miss a PAT attempt, going 9 for 9. He was seen late icing his right big toe on the sideline. And oh yeah, Fillmore Central scored nine touchdowns.

They routed the Falcons-North 63-6!

And though Mayer scored enough points to beat W-K alone, FC got other contributions. Mitch Johnson had three first quarter interceptions (including a 37-yard TD return).

The Falcons got three TD runs from Tyler Eickhoff (1, 53, & 40 yards), and one apiece from Zach Olstad (4 yards) and Monty Holm (45 yards).

Andy Todd threw three TD passes, to Eickhoff (33 yards), Ryan Baker (23 yards), and offensive lineman Logan Whitehill (via WR Johnson) on a 46-yard hook and ladder hookup. The stat of the night, though, was, after one quarter of action, W-K had run 14 plays for -7 yards while tossing four INT’s. FC is 4-0.

We know that sometimes life deals us a bum rap, situations can occur that we have little or no control over financially. In today’s ever-changing economic cycle, job challenges arise that may have caused financial hardships or unexpected medical emergencies may have dealt an unfair blow. As much as we try, sometimes it is very difficult to rebound from unexpected or outof-control finances without help or understanding from some outside source.

We want that opportunity to help.

Re-establishing credit can be as important as buying a car. We have lenders working right now to finalize loans.

Let’s see how this program works: From the start, our customers are under no obligation to enter this program, they can say no at any time. This program is designed to reestablish their credit in as short a period of time as possible.

Other dealerships offer “Buy Here - Pay Here” operations. Generally, you buy a vehicle they want to get rid of, and no credit is established since they do not report to the credit bureau (unless payments are not made) and there are no warranties or guarantees. If credit is established, it’s only with

Bad Credit

them so people are trapped inside their spiral of driving less than desirable vehicles and never improving their credit situation, which is the primary mission in this venture.

At Zumbrota Ford, we offer all of our customers the opportunity to drive the vehicle that is right for them. We only use lenders that help re-establish your credit on 1998 and newer models, that meet the conditioning and mileage criteria of the lenders. Many of these vehicles have remaining factory warranties and are eligible for an extended service contract. After paying on this vehicle, credit will be reestablished, provided payments have been maintained current on it and all your other credit obligations.

Do you have: 1. A full-time job?

2. $1,300 gross monthly income?

3. Stable residence?

4. Down payment or trade?

5. Past credit problems with a drive to re-establsh credit?

If so, we would like the opportunity to help you. Call 1-800-757-3080, ask for Brent or Greg for a completely confidential interview and drive home in your next automobile or truck form Zumbrota Ford tomorrow.

Greenfield Lutheran Church

The people of Greenfield Lutheran of Harmony are blessed to celebrate our life in Christ and share the joy with others. Pastor Betsy Dartt, Intern Pastor Kyle Jackson and the people of Greenfield welcome all to see what God is doing in our community.

We are a worshipping congregation with festival worship at 9 a.m. every Sunday with inspirational music, Holy Communion, youth message, and Biblical preaching. Our 10:30 a.m. service is informal and concurrent with Sunday School and nursery care.

We are a praying congregation giving praise to God and lifting up the needs of others. God has a heart for you, so we intentionally look to grow in relationship with Him and others.

We are an inviting congregation with diverse opportunities for adults, youth, and children. Our High School youth are preparing for a mission trip to New Orleans in 2012. Our interactive confirmation program involves families from three area churches. Three ecumenical adult Bible studies meet Tuesdays in local restaurants, apartments, and our church building. The biennial Norwegian Dinner is a joyful gift to the community to share our treasured traditions and a wonderful time for families to enjoy fellowship with a delicious meal.

We are a serving congregation supporting local hunger needs, making hundreds of quilts and health kits for Lutheran World Relief, and working with international mission efforts in Africa and South America, campus ministry, and social action with the churchwide Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Greenfield Lutheran Church has a long and proud history of serving the spiritual needs of Harmony and the surrounding area. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century when the first settlers arrived, some from Wisconsin and others directly from Europe, the church was a vital part of community life.

The early settlers were mostly country folk who had emigrated from Northern Europe, primarily Norway. At first they settled in Fillmore County in a place called Greenfield Prairie, just south of Harmony. Their principal occupation was agricultural, and they were drawn to southern Minnesota by the availability of rich farmland. As they created a new life in a new land, they brought with them a strong Christian faith.

In 1865, Greenfield Lutheran Church was begun with a call to the Rev. Tobias Larson, who became the first permanent minister of Greenfield Lutheran Church. The first church building was begun in 1866. It was not dedicated until 1874, although it was in use as soon as a roof was installed.

In 1912, the current Gothic-style building with exquisite stained glass windows was constructed at 235 South Main. In 1961, the education wing was added to accommodate our growing congregation.

The Greenfield congregation is justifiably proud of our magnificent building; however, Greenfield Lutheran is much more than bricks and mortar. The church today is a vibrant, active part of the Harmony community, thanks to the members and the many organizations within the congregation who live, work, worship, and reach out beyond those brick walls.

The following benediction from the 100th Anniversary Book shows that the best is yet ahead: A kind Providence has protected us in the past, and may His benediction go with us in the future and with the generations that follow us. To Him alone be all glory and praise, now and forever. Amen.

rink a permanent feature of Creekside Park. The idea of a skate park had been discussed more than once by the city during strategic planning sessions.

“This is a good opportunity to partner with chamber and school,” said City Administrator Steve Sarvi. “It would be a good asset year-round.”

The early concept calls for a 200 by 90 foot asphalted surface, whitewashed and maintained by a dedicated and driven group of hockey families. “This would be a draw for the city,” added Benson. “We could host small-scale tournaments and events. This could be a great investment for the city.”

Councilor Vern Bunke cautioned the council against getting into recreation-related responsibility. “I’d like to give it to the school and to let community education run it. I’m in favor of a one-time donation from the city to cover the cost of the boards,” said Bunke. ““Let people drive it, rather than put it under the constant scrutiny of the city.”

The issue with that option

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

is the liability issue. While the city may desire to limit its exposure and ownership of such a venture, in the longterm, the school district will be giving up the land on which it will sit and covering it with their insurance, according to Sarvi.

Supportive, but leary, Bunke added, “I don’t want to get back into the recreation business. We’re getting involved in a project we just got out of. We should support it as we can.”

“There are different things the city can bring to the table,” countered Terry Lesser, a lead proponent of the venture. “This is a dedicated group, who spent hundreds of hours in 2010. It’s going to take the entire community involvement.”

The purchase was eventually approved unanimously, with Sarvi drafting an agreement between all involved parties.

The Chamber, for its part, will need to present the city with defining roles for each involved party and a business plan for the venture.

Base construction and paving costs are unknown at this point, but the city will take bids for the project to help develop a clear concept in the

Page 13

design process. If everything goes as planned, once constructed, the facility would be maintained by a hockey association. Lesser also informed the city that there has been a good response from Miken Sports, of Caledonia, who donated six hockey sticks in 2010. Miken’s manufacturing engineer, Wes Meyer, is a resident of Rushford and a willing supporter. Lesser has indicated that Miken Sports wants to come on board and potentially donate more.

In other news, it was reported that council candidate and former mayor Les Ladewig’s name has been removed from the 2011 ballot. Citing an incomplete affadivit, Sarvi indicated that Ladewig had the option to petition the courts to keep his name on the ballot, but declined. The remaining candidates for the November 2011 election are incumbent Chris Hallum or Jim Wolter for mayor and Incumbent Robert Dahl, Valencia Gaddis, and Roger Colbenson for two open four-year term council seats.

The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be Tuesday, October 11, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

First Lutheran of Highland

About 1853, people from Norway began to come into the Highland area. Services were held in homes with the help of traveling pastors, when available. One was Ulrik V. Koren who lived at Washington Prairie near Decorah, Iowa and came by horses, or by snow shoes. We are proud to have his signature in our church’s record books.

The Highland Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized February 1, 1858, and was named “Highland Prairie Norst Kirke”. The first church was built of wood and completed in 1870. The second church (present one) was of brick with sparkling stained-glass windows and a beautiful interior. It was completed in 1921 and dedicated on June 25, 1922. As time went on, the name was changed to “First Lutheran Church of Highland”. The first language was Norwegian, and then on to English. Improvements have been made through its history including a well, a paved parking lot across the street and recently an elevator was installed. Many items in the church and basement have been given in memory of loved ones.

The cemetery is not on church grounds as many in the area, but is a short distance south of town and is cared for by the Cemetery Board.

The church has been part of several parishes, but the Whalan Lutheran Church continues to be a support for Highland Church and its members.

The parsonage was purchased in 1946.

The Ladies Aid began when they still met in homes. WELCA is very active today. Some of the things they are very busy with are making quilts for Lutheran World Relief, quilts for high school graduates, collecting food for the local food shelf, etc. They share their funds with the church and other needy designated places.

After the Jell-O Jamboree, there was a drawing for a Swedish Weaving runner after food and fellowship.

Some of the activities they have had through the years are ice cream social, Jell-O Jamboree, salad luncheon, brunch with invited guests, and a bazaar each fall. Men and women bring items to be auctioned off. Also, along with the bazaar, we have a bake sale and a supper. We also have a drawing for a stitched quilt. There is plenty of food and fellowship. There has been a drawing for the Swedish Weaving craft that Donna Erickson makes! The Circles also help out a lot with the bazaar which will be October 8, 2011, and they serve for funerals according to the wishes of the family. The folks who attend the special events are pleased with the white tablecloths, flowers and decorations for the dining area with an elegant look.

The Sunday School was started early in the church history. Later there was a Luther league and LDR (Lutheran Daughters of the Reformation.)

The congregation is indebted to the many who played the organ and piano for services and to all who lend their voices in praising the Lord.

The men contribute much to our church. Stories are told that they all, including some women as well, helped in hauling materials for the building of the new church. They served on committees and they do all kinds of work and help where needed.

The first Pastor was Andreas-Scheie and the present pastor is Patricia Hinkie. All those in between have been a blessing to the congregation.

First Lutheran Church of Highland is also grateful to the congregation for their dedication these 152 years. We thank the Lord for his protection through the years and pray for his guidance in the years

Renowned artist to teach class Compare your nitrogen sources by price Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educa- urea (46-0-0) is $560 per ton to Manure Management: on wood carving have the same cost of $0.61 per www.manure.umn.edu/ tor, Fillmore/Houston Counties

On Sat., October 8, Harley Refsal will teach a class on the flat-plane style carving tradition to make an ornament for your Christmas tree. The oneday class will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ballard House, headquarters for the Giants of the Earth Heritage Center, at 163 West Main Street, Spring Grove, Minn.

The class is open to persons age 10 and older, with a maximum of 15 people in the class.

Registration is required and the cost is $80 per person.

“It’s open for beginners, as well as seasoned carvers,” states the instructor. “If you can peel potatoes, you can whittle figures.”

“It is not too much to expect that you could carve and complete one or more ornaments in one day, including the painting.

If you have some experience, you may want to jump right into a more advanced project,”

AUCTIONEER NOTE: We will be selling a large selection of furniture, antiques, coins, tools, and household items from 3 estates and 2 parties downsizing. Don’t miss this auction.

This past week I came across the updated version of the Nutrient & Manure Management Tables, produced by University of Minnesota Extension and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. This jam-packed, one page, t w o - s i d e d Jerrold Tesmer publication is loaded with vital information for farmers.

The front side is mainly related to manure management. It covers Annual Manure Production and Nutrient Excretion from Livestock, Nutrient Content of Stored Manure, Nitrogen Losses as Affected by Method of Handling and Storage, Nitrogen Availability and Loss as Affected by Method of Application and Animal Species, and Calibrating Your Manure Spreader.

The back-side is more specific to fertilizer. It includes Nutrient Removal in the Harvested Portion of the Crop, Common Fertilizer Analyses, Legume Nitrogen Credits, Conversion Factors, and the one that I found very interesting, “Nitrogen Sources Per Pound Conversion. I think the chart below will be very useful when comparing prices for your various sources of spring nitrogen fertilizer.

For example, if anhydrous ammonia (82-0-0) is $1,000 per ton, the nitrogen is costing $0.61 per pound. The comparison for

Routine business for Chatfield College News

By Karen Reisner The Chatfield City Council at their September 26 meeting whisked through a light agenda. Councilors Dave Frank and Ken Jacobson were absent.

•A two-year agreement with the Joint Victim Liaison Program was approved between Fillmore Family Resources (FFR) and the city of Chatfield. FFR provides their services for $400 per year. FFR offers services to victims to make sure their rights are protected. Victims are aided in the completion and filing of forms, and FFR networks with other professionals as it offers support during the legal process. The agency provides safety options for a safe home, safety planning, or relocation.

FFR is a nonprofit agency which is funded through grants and donations.

•The Chatfield public water system has not exceeded the action level for lead or copper according to a report from the Environmental Health Division of the Minnesota Department

of Health. Both levels were at the ninetieth percentile and well below the action levels.

The water was recently tested as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act and will be tested for lead and copper again in 2014.

•A resolution was adopted for the Safe and Sober grant. Police Chief Shane Fox explained this is a partnership with Fillmore County. The county applies for and administers the grant funds for overtime pay to officers for special enforcement of seatbelt, speeding, and DUI laws. The program is federally funded.

•Alice and Andy Groen had made a request to place a bench in Groen Park. The Groen family had provided the funds to establish the park and the request to place a bench there was approved.

•A recommendation from the Chatfield Fire Department to appoint Leif Erickson to fill a vacant firefighter position was approved.

4-H Project Bowl participants shine at state

By Kirsten Zoellner What is the category of minerals needed in small amount called and what are they? In a forage analysis, what is a measure of crude protein in the diet? When should show birds be washed?

If these questions leave you scratching your head, you’re not alone. There is a select number of youth, however, that would be able to answer these and hundreds of similar questions.

Participants in 4-H Project Bowls regularly showcase their intellectual talents and knowledge in the categories of Dairy, Dog, General Livestock, Horse, Poultry, Rabbit and Wildlife.

Fillmore County boasts 24 youngsters who showed their stuff at the Minnesota State 4-H Project Bowl competition held April 16 in Foley, MN. They competed with over 97 teams from 23 counties across the Minnesota 4-H program.

“We’ve had a great run,” says Stacy Leiding, one of the two coaches for the dairy teams. “These kids are super dedicated and have a passion for the dairy industry. They absorb everything, take it all in, work hard, and deserve it.”

The Fillmore County Dairy Bowl teams were state champions in 2009 and 2010, although they’ve only competed in the program for the last five years. The same two counties have been vying for the championship the last three years. This year, the Fillmore County Team (A) walked away with second place, still a remarkable feat with the number of teams participating at the state level.

Dairy Bowl Team A, comprised of Haely and Kayla Leiding, Travis and Jared Troendle, and Abby Hopp.

Fillmore County Team B, which placed a well-earned fifth, includes Coltin and Morgan Wingert, Megan and Sarah Hopp, and Tyler Kappers.

They are coached by Chris Troendle, along with Stacy Leiding.

Poultry Bowl Team B, comprised of Andrew, Bennett, Alyssa, and Joe Gathje, and Kaci Goldsmith, placed fourth. Poultry Bowl Team A, Jacob and Jessica Fenske, Aleksie and Tyler Waadevig, and Payton Guenther, earned a respectable sixth. Their coaches are Nora Gathje, Rochelle Gathje, and Noah Fenske.

The Fillmore County General Livestock team consisted of Alex Coe, Erica Early, Jordy Markegard,

and Kayla Mulhern, earned eighth place. The coach is Rodney Coe. Styled similarly to 1950s-era “College Bowl,” Minnesota Project Bowls challenges youth teams in their respective project areas. The second largest-attended event during the 4-H year, the bowl matches wits of teams of in both junior (grades 3 through 8) and senior (grades 9 through 4-H graduation) divisions.

The goals of the Project Bowls are to assist youth in exploring their project and to encourage teamwork, selfconfidence, decision-making skills, and leadership skills.

Ranging in size from three to six youth, each team competes in a particular category of interest. The contest is divided in two phases. In Phase One, a total of 16 challenging questions are asked, with questions being addressed to one pair of opposing contestants. Pairs rotate after four questions each. The second phase consists of 15 questions, asked in three cycles of regular, toss-up, and bonus questions. Lest you think these questions are simple ones, they cover animal health, diseases, breeding, feeding, medical care, housing, breed specifics, marketing, pasture

Harmony youth has great year at the State Fair

By Jade Wangen Seventh grader Hunter Aggen of Harmony was eligible to go to the State Fair with his beef heifer this year for the first time. And he not only won a chance to go, he did amazingly well while he was there.

This was Hunter’s fourth year in 4-H, but he is not new to farming and beef cattle. “I’ve been around cattle my whole life,” he said. “I was born to do it.”

Hunter lives with his parents Matt and Jessica, and younger brother Garrett, on Oak Meadows Farm.

They live only a couple miles away from his grandparents, Lynn and Barb Aggen. The beef farming runs in the family, and Hunter wants to be involved in it when he is older as well.

This past summer, Hunter showed his heifer Elin at the Fillmore County Fair. He received third in the interview and won his chance at the State Fair. Hunter and his family stayed at the State Fair in a camper while he was there, and while his brother Garrett showed pigs. The boys have never missed a year at the State Fair their entire

lives.

According to Jessica, Hunter did interviews his first day at the fair.

He was a finalist, and won a polo shirt. During the interview, the judges tested his knowledge of the entire beef industry, as well as his animal.

During his visit to the State Fair, Hunter won Reserve Champion in Intermediate Beef Heifer Showmanship. Jessica explained they are judged on how well they show the animal and how they handle it.

He also won Supreme Champion in Foundation Simmental Heifer, and Supreme Champion Breeding Heifer.

“It’s a pretty big deal for his first time at the State Fair,” said Jessica.

“Only one heifer in the state of Minnesota wins,” said Jessica. “And for him to be an interview finalist, it’s just phenomenal.”

Hunter does a lot of his own work with the animals that he shows. He learns about their nutritional needs, feeds and grooms them, and trains them to be used to being around people and being led with a halter.

Hunter Aggen of Harmony Helping Hands 4-H Club received Reserve Champion Intermediate Beef Heifer Showperson. He and his heifer were also named Champion Simmental Heifer and went on to receive the Champion Beef Heifer Award.

Fair was one he raised from birth.

“He’s lucky he has a father and a grandfather that are very knowledgeable,” said Jessica. She said the entire family is very proud of Hunter’s accomplishments.

Hunter said he has learned a lot from being in 4-H and from his fellow 4-Hers, who are now his good

management, and general knowledge. Study sheets provided by the University of Minnesota extension, for any one category, can encompass several hundred questions. There are four regional competitions. Top teams at the regional advance to the State Bowl and state winners in Dairy, General Livestock, Horse, and Poultry may go on to national contests.

“We’re willing to learn, willing to work,” indicated Leiding. “We’ve grown quite a lot. This program gets the kids involved and they’ll be able to use this in the future. What I learned at a college level, they’re learning younger and easier.”

4-H is one of the largest youth development organizations in Minnesota and the largest in the nation, with six million young people participating. According to UMN data, 2010 saw approximately 131,045 of 1.1 million Minnesota youth participated in an Extension Youth Development program, nearly 12 percent of all youth between the ages of 5-19.

59 percent hailed from farms or rural towns, 33 percent from cities, and seven percent from cities with populations over 50,000.

Statistics from the Tufts University National 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development showed the 4-H

youth: • Are more than twice as likely to be civically active and make contributions to their communities.

• Are 47 percent less likely to have risky or problem behaviors.

• Are less likely to experience depression.

• Have better grades and are more emotionally engaged with school.

• Are more likely to see themselves going to college.

• Are more likely to have features of positive youth development: competence, confidence, connection, character and caring.

To become involved in the Fillmore County 4-H program, or for more information, contact: LeeAnn Howard, 507-765-3896 or willi280@ umn.edu. For opportunities in other counties, contact the Extension Center for Youth Development office at 800-444-4238.

Oh, and for those interested, the answers to the questions above, the category of minerals needed in small amount are called trace minerals.

They are Iron, Copper, Magnesium, Zinc, Iodine, Cobalt, and Selenium. Nitrogen is a measure of crude protein in the diet and show birds should be washed no less than 48 hours prior to a show. Who knew?

friends. His mother said he has learned a lot of responsibilities from the farm and his involvement with 4-H. Not only is he busy with the farm and working with his cattle, he is involved in football, Knowledge Bowl, Jazz Band, choir, and FFA. He is currently working on a couple of calves that are less than a year old, getting them ready to show next year.

Hunter plans to continue doing what he loves to do, and that is 4-H and FFA activities. He plans to continue showing cattle in 4-H, and add to his collection of ribbons, plaques, and trophies he has accumulated the past few years. He also plans to keep traveling around with his family showing his cattle, and is hoping to go to the State Fair again next year.
