Here comes the bride...

Speers see lots of change over 42 years

By Jason Sethre

jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com

I remember when my sister, Heidi Sethre, called me to say she was getting married to Nick Wiplinger on Saturday, September 10, 2011, I just put it on my calendar and never thought too much about it. Then, I found out a co-worker at the Journal, Sarah Topness, was also getting married to Nick Wangen on that same date. Over the past year, my wife, a local photographer, has had an abundance of requests for shooting wedding photos on September 10, 2011. In recent months and weeks, we’ve seen a flood of engagements come in to the Journal for publication; all of these weddings taking place on September 10, 2011. Why? Because it’s 9-10-11! A numerologist’s dream come true. At first, I thought this date was selected so that the guys wouldn’t have a hard time remembering the anniversary date. Eventually, I felt this date was newsworthy enough for a front page story, so I began pursuing leads. Who else is getting married on 9-10-11? The more people I asked, including a post within the Fillmore County Journal Facebook Group, the more people I discovered were getting married on this sequentially historic date. There’s quite a line-up, and please forgive me if I am forgetting somebody. • Ashley Pickett and Gary Kappers • Sarah Topness and Nick Wangen • Stefanie Dickens and Jason Underferth

There are so many couples getting married on 9-10-11 that a Facebook page exists for those who share this special date. Screenshot from Facebook • Jessica McCabe and Matt Schnelby • Christine Hystead and Ryan Scheevel • Jessica Bergan and Tom Thompson • Anna Keim and Luke Johnson • Kristina Rowley and Matt Hollerman As you scrolled down the list of names of those who will be exchanging their vows on September 10, 2011, keep in mind there is a story behind why they selected that date. I wasn’t able to interview all of the engaged couples, but I did get a chance to connect with a few brides. According to Ashley Pickett, of Preston, who will be marrying Gary Kappers, of Spring Valley, she selected this date way back in early 2010. Once she knew that was the date, she booked her church and reception hall. She had started to hear that others were selecting that date, as well, so she knew she had better schedule her plans far in advance. Ashley said, “When trying to pick out a date, we were thinking of 5-7-11 or 9-10-11. But, with Menu Specials Sept. 9, 10, 11

Gary farming, putting crops in during the month of May, the September date worked out better with the beginning of harvest.” Interestingly, Ashley’s Maid of Honor, Karisa Rindels, was married on 9-8-7. Ashely shared, “I just hope he (Gary) doesn’t forget our anniversary.” In another interview with Sarah Topness, of Preston, who is marrying Nick Wangen, of Harmony, I heard the same thing. “Nice thing about 9-10-11 is the guys have no excuse for forgetting the anniversary.” Sarah selected this special day almost 12 months ago, and her reason was pretty clear. “Because it’s a cool date.” For any would-be wedding crashers, it looks like you can mark your calendar for Saturday, September 10, 2011. This coming weekend, Fillmore County is going to be hoppin’ with the “Chicken Dance,” dinner for hundreds (maybe thousands), mountainous volumes of cake, an abundance of beverages, and quite a few “I do’s.”

Your Challenge - Experience ExpoCulinaria “Bring it to the table,” is not just an engaging command or culinary taste bud invitation, but it will also prove an entertaining challenge for the upcoming chef cook-off at the first ever Rushford, MN, ExpoCulinaria—an experience in taste. Two professional chef’s talents and knowledge will be put to the test as they create an array of scrumptious appetizers, entrees and desserts. Utilizing an unknown pantry of food and a surprise ingredient for a panel of judges, in a limited amount of time, the chefs will vie for top honors and prizes. The winning plates will be auctioned off to attending participants. ExpoCulinaria is slated for 5-8 pm on September 17th rain or shine, at the historic Hoiland Mill. Located on the banks of Rush Creek, the restored and renovated three-story mill is an authentic mingling of rustic charm and former industry pres-

ence. Hosted by the Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce, the delectable ExpoCulinaria will coincide with the highly anticipated weekend 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Root River Trail System. The feature completion will face off two ‘seasoned’ Minnesota chefs. Peter Botcher is an accomplished chef with over ten years cooking experience. Well versed in a range of cooking styles from butchery to vegetarian to American barbecue, his foundation for cooking lies in traditional French cuisine, wherein he learned classic technique and dedication to the culinary craft. Climbing the ranks in Minneapolis’ top fine dining restaurants, he has since gone on to a self-styled apprenticeship in order to develop a repertoire beyond the standard; dedicating himself to learning new skills and mastering new techniques while riding the wave of the progressive dining scene on a national level. Chef Botcher previously worked in two nationally

recognized Michelin starred restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area where he resided. Extensive travels around the United States, northern California and France have greatly contributed to his passion for cooking and adventure. Botcher’s enjoyment of travel recently brought him to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where he cooked for Hollywood elite. Currently employed at Tilia, an American bistro in Minneapolis, he keeps busy on his days off making and selling smoked sausages. His competitor Chef Douglas Dahlgren attended the Art Institutes International Minnesota in Minneapolis, receiving an Associate’s degree in the Culinary Arts. While attending school, Dahlgren worked professionally at Barbette in uptown Minneapolis. Here he learned the importance of working with local farmers, and how to utilize local and seasonal ingredients in his menus. After graduation in 2005, Dahlgren began working at Signatures Restaurant in Winona,

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

MN as a line cook, quickly working his way up through the ranks; Lead Line Cook, Pastry Chef, Sous Chef, and most recently holding the title of Executive Chef. Dahlgren believes fully in the farm to table concept by educating the public about where their food comes from. Also that we all have a responsibility in supporting our local economy by buying as much as we possibly can locally. Dahlgren doesn’t see this as a fad, but an ethical obligation. Chef Dahlgren’s approach to food, “Start with good fresh seasonal ingredients, animals raised by people you know. Do as little as possible to mess it up.” Additionally featured in the fun and appetizing culinary evening will be local and area vendors, providing a mix of wines and microbrews from Garvin Heights Vineyard, Olvalde Farmhouse Ale and other area vendors. Creative food temptations for your tasting include local, organic foods from Featherstone Farms, ethnic fare from Norsland Lefse, taste specialties from The Creamery and Shawnee’s, and sumptuous confections.

C ommentary Looking Back While Moving Forward By John Goutcher Standing on the dock, I silently watched the four canoes move across the lake, paddles flashing in the sunlight. The six campers and two guides would be gone for five nights on the water taking a circle route which was not considered difficult for campers new to the wilderness. I knew the route well and had explored many John Goutcher of the routes on my own when having days off. Great care had been taken in making sure all the equipment needs of the campers and guides had been met before the group left the dock. Standing there watching the canoes disappear, I failed to notice the person who had walked up beside me. A hand upon my shoulder quickly brought me back into the real world. The owner of Gunflint Lodge, Justine Kerfoot, said in a low but clear strong voice,

“John, the next trip out is yours to lead”. A simple “thank you” was all the response I could muster at that point. Justine was a person whose thinking about the environment and whose canoe country camping skills I embraced was telling me that I could now do what she had been doing for years. Thus began summers of leading groups into the wilderness area which twenty years later became known as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Some years I would lead four or five trips, other summers only one or two, depending upon summer jobs, school demands, and family needs. The span of time from that first trip to now has encompassed fifty-three years, 177 trips in total. Each trip has brought stories and memories of people, sites and unlimited beauty. Most of the memories and stories of past trips are the result of thoughts expressed by campers around the campfire in the evening. After all chores were completed for the day, folks would gather around the fire pit and conversations would emerge

One Moment Please... Future Leaders By Jason Sethre Publisher of the Fillmore County Journal Cell phone: 507-251-5297 In my June 6, 2011, commentary appearing in the Fillmore County Journal, I said, “We have an abundance of stand-out talent coming out of our schools, probably to the extent that we may not realize at times.” As we tran- Jason Sethre sition from a summer full of community events into a new school year, signaled by the celebration of Labor Day, I see a bright future Editorial Cartoon

amidst dreary news reports of a tumbling stock market, crippling natural disasters and anything else that can make us think the cup is half empty. Throughout the pages of today’s Fillmore County Journal, you’ll notice we have taken a moment to recognize the talent and dedication of local graduates who came back for the summer and contributed to the content of this newspaper to share stories with our readers. Sam Gibson, Sara Pecinovsky, and Abby Stocker wrote a collection of 15 local stories over the past three months, connecting the dots of all of the communities in Fillmore county. I commend all three of them for continuing to contribute content to their local

covering just about any topic imaginable. One evening around the campfire, I was totally unaware of other conversations which were taking place. My mind was transporting me back many years ago to Esther Lake which is located between Ottertrack and Hanson Lakes inside the BWCA. Across the bay from my island campsite was a tall bluff. At the very top was a flat rock ledge protruding outward. This ledge seemed to provide a great place to observe almost anything. The rock shelf looked inviting and my curiosity beckoned me to check this area further. Paddling across the bay, I beached my canoe, and began to search for a route to the top. Bears had made a path through a large blueberry patch, so I carefully followed along the path, hoping not disturb a bruin having lunch or to end up being a lunch. The trail ended at the base of a sheer granite wall of eight feet which was climbable. Once on top, it was to climb over downed trees, boulders and to walk through stands of maple and newspaper while back from college for the summer months. While all of them are pursuing different college majors, they all have the special talent of telling stories about community events, important causes and local people. And, you know what’s even more compelling? This was a self-managed work group. We gave them the responsibility of collaborating their schedules and deciding who was going to cover which town events, and they made it all work. And, recognizing that today’s journalists are immersed in the concept of media convergence, they prepared and edited their own videos of events to accompany their articles and photos appearing in the newspaper. All event videos can be found on www.fillmorecountyjournal.com, in case you’re curious. We always anchor new videos on the home page first and then archive

jack pine as I made my way to the summit. Suddenly, the forest gave way to a ledge which overlooked an expanse of sky, forests and water in all directions. Far below me I could see my campsite. A forest of green shades and dark shadows stretched out in all directions with breaks in the forest where lakes and swamps were located. Standing there absorbing all my observations, my thoughts wondered also about all the other human beings who may have been here since the beginning of time. A person who was contemplating events in their life, meditating on the power of nature, or thinking about the meaning of life itself, could certainly have spent time here. With those thoughts, I could understand why others before me had chosen this location. For years thereafter, I would make it a point to visit that rock ledge either alone or guiding a group. Each visit gave me the strength to overcome the trials and tribulations of life. It seemed to me that that rock ledge held a powerful charge of electricity. Most often, group members would not take the

time to seek what the ledge had to offer, but the seed of discovery had been planted. As I would sit in silence, my concentration allowed me to feel peace, melt away anger, and find a workable solution to life’s problems. Each visit would give me a sense of belonging to those people who had also stood here with the similar issues. People who were from different civilizations, cultures, and spirituality. Those people may have never known each other, but would be drawn together in one common bond. Each would have gathered strength and wisdom from visiting that rock ledge. The strength is there freely available for all those who are searching. To others who venture there it is only a place to take a group picture, throw a few rocks, or eat a lunch. But even in discovery, the seed has been planted. For perhaps one day, they will return, not to rediscover, but to seek strength. Those who seek strength will then join hands with those who have stood there before, since the beginning of time. Think about it

them in the video section of our website. The videos are a big hit, drawing upwards of 11,000 views per week. I need to add one special thanks to Abby Stocker. I have probably said this before and I will probably say this again. Abby Stocker paved the way for my trust in any future high school students who wishes to take on a role of covering government meetings for the Fillmore County Journal. While all of our other reporters are accomplished veteran writers with life experiences that make for a natural fit in journalism for a community newspaper, it is very uncommon to find a high school student who can take on the major responsibility of reporting what happened at a school board meeting. While other high school students were struggling to pay attention to the mundane curriculum of a government class, Abby was listening to local government in action, comprehending that information and then relaying it to readers who might be affected by the outcome of that meeting. Yes, Abby is a pioneer for her peers and those who follow in the years to come. And, this past school year, looking forward into this next school year, Mitchell Walbridge has followed in Abby’s footsteps and he has made a seamless transition with outstanding coverage. And, how do I know this? The reason I know this is because any hint of inaccuracy in any news article published in our newspaper brings up a red flag to our readers and they will call me on my cell phone – published with my weekly commentary every week. I have never had a single call questioning the information shared by Mitchell about the Chatfield School Board meetings, so I trust all is well. I commend Abby, and now Mitchell, for stepping into the realm of covering local government news and reporting that information to the public. Not an easy task by any

means. Thanks again to all of our contributing writers for their work over the past three months. I commend them for being a part of something much bigger than any one person – a community newspaper.

Junge came in to thank Stan and Sharon for their years of service. “How many years has it been?” asked Ron. Stan replied, “Forty-two years.” “Well, it sounds like you can hold a job,” joked Ron. Stan and Sharon both smiled. While most people go through upwards of seven career changes in a lifetime, Stan and Sharon have committed their time and attention to the details of Fountain’s city government.

with three mayors: Ode Krogen, Doris Grindland, and current mayor Richard Kujath. During that time, Stan served on many regional boards along with volunteering for the Fountain Fire Department from 1965 to 1990. In addition, Stan worked for IBM from 1960 to 1991, putting in 31 years with Big Blue in Rochester. They’ve seen so much change that most people new to Fountain probably wouldn’t believe it. Back in 1969, there was no Fountain City Hall. The building the city operates out of now did not come to life until 1991. Back in those days, the Fountain Fire Department building was located in the 500 block of 1st Street; now an empty lot. Prior to the new city building, all meetings and elections

were held in the basement of the First State Bank of Fountain. All water bill payments were dropped off at the bank, as well. Stan and Sharon, serving as city clerk and assistant city clerk, respectively, ran all of the city government business out of their home. Employees stopped by the Speer household to pick up their paychecks. Residents stopped by to conduct the same business they do today, but they did it at the kitchen table. Vir-

tually everything they do today at the Fountain City Hall was managed out of their home. In 1987, the Fillmore County Historical Museum came to life as a result of the generous donation of the late Charles Johnson, Sr.. This was a big deal for the City of Fountain, to have the county-wide museum located in their little community. In 1988, with the help of a grant, a waste water treatment See SPEERS Page 9 

St. John’s Lutheran Church of Hart - Celebrating 150 Years of God’s Faithfulness

St. John’s Lutheran Church at Hart, 6 miles north of Rushford, will celebrate 150 years of God’s faithfulness on June 17, 2012. The church members give thanks that since its early days and throughout all these years, God’s Word has been proclaimed and the Sacraments of The Lord’s Supper and Holy Baptism have been administered faithfully. The early German families who came to settle in the Hart Township area brought with them a desire to hear God’s Word. Rev. Albrecht Brand and his family settled on a farm just north of the church. Because of eye trouble and failing health, he was unable to tend to the spiritual needs of the people. He sent a request to Dr. C.F.W. Walther, the first president of The Lutheran church - Missouri Synod, for a pastor to be sent to minister to the families. About Christmas, 1861, Dr. Walther sent a letter to Rev. H.F.C. Grupe who was serving near Durand, Wis., urging him to go to Winona, Minn. to minister to the people in the area. In January, 1862, Rev. Grupe started out on horseback in the cold weather and deep snow. He asked directions from a resident who sent him back towards Winona. Rev. Grupe found himself on ice and his horse broke through the ice on Lake Winona. He and the horse escaped from the lake. The next day Rev. Grupe got better directions and found Rev. Brand. Families were notified of the pastor’s presence and service was held on Sunday morning with the room of Rev. Brand’s home filled with eager souls to hear God’s Word proclaimed. After the service, Rev. Grupe offered to come regularly for services and the people accepted his offer with thankful hearts. In March, 1862, the congregation of St. John’s Lutheran Church was formed with the help of Rev. Grupe. A log church was built near the present Brand Cemetery. The church also served as the home of the pastor. From that time on St. John’s Lutheran Church has been served by pastors faithful to the Word of God. From the days of the one-room log church, the church has grown. In 1869, a frame church was built where services were held until 1906 when a brick church was built. The brick church burned on June 15, 1944, after it had been struck by lightning. The pews, baptismal font and the pulpit were saved and are still being used. On Sunday, June 15, 1947, the new church building of St. John’s Lutheran Church was dedicated after a shortage of labor and materials because of World War II. On October 20, 2002, St. John’s celebrated its 140th anniversary and dedicated its new elevator and carport additions. Since the beginning of the church, Christian Education has also been very important at St. John’s Lutheran Church. The pastors have conducted Confirmation classes throughout the years. In March 1862, Rev. Grupe taught about a dozen children in a lean-to next to the parsonage. In 1873, a school addition was built to the rear of the parsonage and was used for 35 years. A brick schoolhouse was built in 1916 and finally taken down in 1960. When the school closed in 1947, the congregation organized the Sunday School with volunteer teachers. During the time of the school, both pastor and a called teacher taught the classes until it closed. Along with Sunday School, Vacation Bible School has been held each summer since the middle 1950s. Other important activities in the ministry at St. John’s are Bible Classes, the Annual Chicken & Ham Dinner in September, Ladies Aide, Youth Group, Fun-Filled Lutherans Choir and the Ladies Kitchen Band. Because God has been faithful in these 150 years of providing pastors to proclaim His Word and administer the Sacraments at St. John’s Lutheran Church at Hart, the church has remained “the country church with the heart of Jesus.”

Historic Preston Overlook to be restored

Landmark will undergo a National Scenic Byways facelift Southeastern Minnesota Historic Bluff Country announced that it has been awarded a National Scenic Byways grant in the amount of $787,516 for the refurbishing of the Preston Overlook along Highway 52/16. A 20% matching amount of $200,000 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation

will provide the balance of the funds needed for the reconstruction. Preston Overlook is a halfacre parcel located on Hwy 52/ Hwy16 just inside the eastern city limits of Preston and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. According to a 1998 MN/DOT Structures Inventory, the site was constructed during the Great Depression in 1937/1938, likely

with the use of relief workers. The park is one of only seven sites in this report known or believed to have been built under the FERA/SERA Program. The construction was also part of the Minnesota Highway Department’s first large-scale effort to develop roadside facilities in the state. Over the years, the site has been minimally repaired and is now in need of major restoration.

Swifts enjoy communal roost in Preston By Karen Reisner About twenty bird and nature enthusiasts spent a pleasant evening, Wednesday August 31, at the Trailhead parking lot watching a current local phenomenon. Hundreds of swifts swarm around the old Preston elementary school chimney before funneling down into the chimney to roost for the night. The small five inch, sparrow sized bird is brownishgray with a short tail and long, narrow, somewhat bowed wings that span about 12 inches. As we watched the speedy little birds gather, an occasional turkey vulture would glide through. The comparatively very large, graceful in flight, bird also makes a summer home in Preston and will soon be making its way south for the winter. The old school now serves as a hotel/apartment building owned by the Corson family. The tall

brick chimney has been co-opted by hundreds of these little birds for their temporary night time dwelling. They are summertime visitors and should be welcomed, as they feed only on flying insects. Greg Munson, former director of the Quarry Hill Nature Center in Rochester, had made a count estimate of nearly 1,100 swifts entering the chimney at dusk the previous Sunday night. The count this evening was greater than 1,000. Munson explained that the swifts only nest in residential chimneys. Because of the lack of old style, open chimneys, the habitat for the chimney swift has been limited. Swifts nest twice during the season and there is only one nest per chimney. However, they do gather as they have in the old elementary school chimney in “communal roosts.” The birds can fly in a circle as they gather

and funnel into the chimney to roost for the night. According to Munson, they spend some of that roosting time preening. As the birds descended into the chimney, we could hear their twittering chatter. Swifts gather in large flocks at roosting sites as they prepare for fall migration. According to Munson, in 1944 it was discovered that the swifts migrate to Peru as many of the birds had been banded. Since then, it is known that they migrate to other South American countries as well.

in the Speer’s household kitchen with the delicious smells of a roast in the crock pot and freshbaked brownies ready to be frosted, I asked them, “What’s next?” The answer came as Sharon showcased pictures of their seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren neatly organized on the refrigerator. Stan and Sharon have three children who all graduated from PrestonFountain Schools. Steve Speer,

age 49, lives in Farmington, and he is married with four children. Scott Speer, age 47, lives in Oronoco, and he is married with one child. And, their daughter, Shannon Speer, age 41, lives in Rochester and is married with two children. The recent retirees will be spending time with their family. Ronda Flattum of Lanesboro took over as city clerk for the City of Fountain effective September 1, 2011.

The project will see the reconstruction of the flagstone terrace, which uniquely encircles an existing tree, and the refurbishing of the stone overlook. The site is built along the bluff line on the edge of the South Branch of the Root River using materials indigenous to the area. Visitors can enjoy a scenic view of Preston and the rolling hills of the river valley below. Work on the project is expect-

ed to begin in June of 2012, to be completed in October 2012. All repairs will be completed according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties using the same materials and construction techniques as the original construction. Original construction plans from the 1930’s will guide the restoration.

Swifts are in the same Order as Hummingbirds, different Families. Swifts, with the exception of roosting at night, do everything in winged flight. They are one of the speediest fliers in the bird world and eat only flying insects. Water is consumed by dipping into a body of water as they fly over. Bathing is accomplished the same way. Swifts have small bills, but a wide mouth. The birds gather twigs in flight for nesting, breaking them off as they fly by. Their nests are made of twigs held together with saliva. The cuplike nest is fastened to the interior chimney wall and holds a clutch of four or five white eggs.

Swifts are similar to swallows in some ways, but they are not closely related. Swifts are faster in flight and do not perch. Information about swifts was obtained from the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds and the American Bird Conservancy’s Field Guide to All the Birds of North America.

Commonweal Theatre Company presents To Kill a Mockingbird The Commonweal Theatre Company presents Christopher Sergel’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s American classic To Kill A Mockingbird, September 3rd through November 13th with discounted tickets available for previews August 26th to September 1st. Call the box office at 800-657-7025 or visit Commonweal Theatre online at www. commonwealtheatre.org for exact performance dates and times. Based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird is a story told by a precocious young girl nicknamed “Scout” who recalls one Alabama summer during the Great Depression when her lawyer-father, Atticus Finch, was called upon to defend a black man falsely accused of a horrific crime. Commonweal’s production will be directed by Michael Bigelow Dixon, whose previous directing credits in Lanesboro have included Beautiful Again, A

Christmas Carol, and last year’s psychological thriller The Turn of the Screw. “The central question of the play and the novel,” says Dixon, “is how will the cruelty and injustice of the world shape the impressionable minds of our three young protagonists? In this play, an older Scout – now going by her real name Jean Louise – is looking back in time from the civil rights movement of the 1960s to a period of overt racism in the 1930s. In retrospect, did her father do enough in defense of Tom Robinson? Is it truly courageous to work within a corrupt system that is already rigged to deny justice?” Commonweal’s Executive Director Hal Cropp will play the classic role of Atticus Finch, the lawyer who tries to stand up to the forces of bigotry in his small town. Resident Artists Adrienne Sweeney and Daniel Stock portray Atticus’ children – Scout and Jem – as adults remembering the events of that unforgettable summer, and the townfolk of Maycomb, Alabama are represented by Scott Dixon, David Hennessey, and Art Moss with Commonweal Apprentice

Food For Life By Jade Wangen

Healthy Fats I mentioned in my last column that I follow a lot of food blogs. Not too long ago, I actually stopped following a blog because I got sick of hearing how a person should eat a diet with NO fat whatsoever. This person believed the way to lose fat was to eat no fat. It seems to make sense, right? And there are many people with the same theory. Eat fat-free everything and that is the answer. I don’t agree. And maybe that’s because I enjoy natural fats. If someone told me I could no longer eat nuts, nut butters, olive oil, hummus, or avocados, I would say forget it. What’s the point of living? I am not afraid of fats, and I truly believe that a person needs some fat every day. I am talking moderation here…it’s not like I could eat avocados and peanut butter all day every day, as much as I might enjoy that. To me there is a big difference between French fries and avocados. The fat in an avocado is supposed to be there. It’s there naturally. Mother Nature wants it that way. The fat in a cupcake, although delicious beyond belief, is not nutritious. Research that I have read has shown that the brain needs a certain amount of fat. I have even read that polyunsaturated fats

promote brain, liver, heart, and lung health. Avocados are full of the good kind of fat, and so are nuts and seeds. This makes me happy. I am not a dietician or nutritionist; I only know what tastes good and what makes me feel good. I know that when I eat onion rings, I am going to feel gross afterward, but when I eat pistachios for a snack, it curbs my hunger and sugar cravings, and makes me feel great. And guacamole…well that’s a whole new level of joy. Guacamole was one of my daughter Grace’s first words, although she pronounced it bock-a-mony. I fed her avocados plain when she was a baby in the high chair, and she loved them. What makes an even better story is the one time I made guacamole and she took the pit of the avocado, washed it off, and played with it, pretending it was her baby. You can’t make this stuff up. I love to make my own guacamole at home. I make it to go with many dishes, including black bean burgers, tacos, burritos, sandwiches, and just to dip tortilla chips into. I am not a fan of raw tomatoes, so this is how I make it.

Guacamole

2 ripe avocados 2 tbsp. lemon juice Garlic powder or fresh garlic, minced (to taste, I like a lot) Salt 1 tsp onion powder 2 tbsp. your favorite salsa Cut avocados in half and scoop out the flesh. Give the pit to your child to play with, if you want. Mash it up good with a fork. It should be easy to mash. Add the other ingredients and mix it up good. If you like your guacamole chunky, use chunks of tomatoes and onions. Add jalapenos if you want. Taste it and adjust seasonings as needed. Enjoy it once in a while without any guilt. It’s good for you!

i started out at Paws and claws as a cute kitten when my brother and i were adopted by a nice lady. after my owner died, my brother and i came back to the shelter. We were soon adopted again, but after three years, our second owner was moving and couldn’t take us along, so we are back with Paws and claws. i’m still a little shy, but i guess maybe somebody else was meant to love us - maybe you! it may take me awhile to feel comfortable in new situations, but when i do, i’ll be looking for a nice comfy lap. i like to play too, and then maybe have a nice, long brushing session. come and see us; we really want to find just the right home together.

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.

Ready, Set, Go...2011 sports begins By Paul Trende Summer may still be in bloom, but all the spiking and setting in the gyms, cracking and crunching on the fields, make it abundantly clear autumn is on the horizon. With that naturally come fall sports, with the gals getting things started first. Four county teams began their 2011 volleyball season. In Harmony on the 25th, the Burros came calling on the Falcons. They left disappointed. The home squad prevailed in three straight sets, 25-12, 25-16, and 25-13. Youngsters led the way for FC. Sophomore Taylor Case registered 13 kills. Freshmen Morgan Malley notched 18 assists and 5 aces. Senior Alex Peterson wasn’t

to be outdone by her youthful teammates. She had 9 digs and 6 kills. The Burros got 7 digs from Kaia Hungerholt, 4 assists each from Karlee Ruen and Linnea Thiss, and 4 kills from Bryn Harmon. Meanwhile down Rushford way, the Trojans hosted their neighbor, Lewiston-Altura. The Cards seemingly had command of the match after snagging sets one and two (25-15 and 25-21). But R-P rallied to take sets three and four (25-16 and 25-21), forcing the deciding fifth set. There it was close, but L-A eked out a (shortened) 16-14 victory, winning the match. The Trojans statistical leaders were Kenzie Lind (18 kills, 10 digs), Amy Todd (23 kills), Emily Culhane (40 assists), and Kendra Crawford (11 digs). A night later, to the northwest in Medford, the Chatfield Gophers began their season successfully, toppling the Tigers 25-16, 25-16, and 25-15.

By Lisa Sackreiter Several Fillmore Central students joined others from Southern Minnesota on a charter bus June 20-24 taking part in the 2nd annual Ag In Motion Class. 26 students from 8 schools took part in this trip from the following school districts: Glenville-Emmons, LeRoy-Ostrander, Fillmore Central, Madelia, Albert Lea, NRHEG (New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva), Lanesboro and Blooming Prairie. The three main instructors for the program were Angie James (G-E), Tiffany Timm (L-O) and Lisa Sackreiter (FC). This trip was made possible in part by a grant from Pioneer. The purpose behind the Ag In Motion class concept is that Southern Minnesota high school students would engage in closeup, hands-on learning while traveling the state of Wisconsin. The multitude of agriculture and natural resources varied from the day-to-day operations found in Southern Minnesota. Each student earned a ½ credit. The students not only took in the sights and sounds of Wisconsin, but they also had daily assignments to complete at the site they visited/toured or on their laptops utilizing websites. The students also blogged each day on the following website: www.aginmotion.wikispaces.com Monday The first stop on the Traveling Ag class was the Cranberry Discovery Center and Wetherby bogs in Warrens, WI. We participated in a taste-testing of dried cranberries and

cranberry juice. The group toured the Discovery Center; learning about domesticating, growing, processing, and marketing of cranberries. We traveled to the Wetherby bogs where the van Wychen family grows cranberries. We saw a bog recently planted and a couple of established bogs as well. Wetherbys specialize in fresh cranberries and we saw the machinery they use to process the fresh berries. Our second stop on Monday was ABS Genetics in Deforest, WI. Our tour guide told us that ABS raises their own bulls. They do collection, analyzing and semen sorting onsite and had sites and service technicians around

the world. He showed the barns where the bulls are housed and the collection arena. We also surveyed the young stock in the rearing barns. Tuesday Mrs. Timm’s brother Michael Boettcher is the field manager for the Milwaukee Brewers’ Miller Park. He and his boss gave us a tour of the grounds, showing us the landscape and the field. The field has a base of sand for good drainage. The grass on the field is Kentucky Bluegrass that was trucked in from Colorado. The grass is mowed to prevent unwanted bounces.

to be groomed constantly to keep it looking nice for the visitors and teams. The highlight of the trip for the students was the Jelly Belly Visitor Center. We hopped aboard the Jelly Belly Express train to learn about the history of the company and how Jelly Belly jelly beans are made. At the end

of the tour, we were given a sample and we went in to the gift shop that had every flavor of Jelly Belly jelly beans and other candy. The Sample Bar was a big hit. We ended the day back at Miller Park cheering the Brewers to a 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. We saw the retractable roof close, as it started raining at the beginning of the game.

We started out in the town of Theresa, WI, at Confections for Any Occasion by Joel and Widmer’s Cheese factory. Joel, the owner of the confectionary, is legally blind but doesn’t let his disability stop him from making his sweet treats. He talked about how he became interested in cooking and confections (4-H projects!), his training and his business. He then showed us how he makes different treats and we dipped pretzels into melted chocolate to take with us. We browsed his sweet shop and made our purchases. We walked down the street to Widmer’s Cheese factory. Widmer’s makes Colby and Cheddar cheese. What’s unique about Widmer’s is that they make brick cheese, a Wisconsin original, the same way they did it in the 1920s when the family started the business. They use real bricks to squeeze out the whey. We saw them stirring in the rennet which causes the milk to curdle. On next stop was Lambeau Field. Even though there were a lot of Viking fans, we learned about their real turf on the field. They have heat pipes underneath the field that keeps the turf from freezing in the winter. Stitches in the turf keep it from flying up with the impact of the cleats. The facilities at the field were pretty impressive. Our final stop of the day was Lautenbach’s Cherry Orchard and Winery in Door County. They grow cherries, apples and grapes, make their own juice and wine onsite, host many events and sell many homegrown products. Thursday Country Fresh Meats market is a family run operation for the last 30 years. We toured their facility where they butcher steers and pigs and sell the cuts of meat along with meat sticks, cheese and deli items. They also raise much of the beef sold in the store. The Wausau Paper Mill provides many products in addition to the printer paper that everyone knows. They also make the paper for masking tape, the outer wrapper for commercial paper towel rolls and other specialized papers. Rolf and Marieke Penterman moved to Wisconsin from Holland to buy a dairy farm as land is much cheaper and easier to buy here than in their home country. Their farm, Holland’s Family Farm has 850 cows and a cheese making facility where Marieke has started making Gouda cheese. We were given a tour of their farm and cheese making facilities. We had to sample some of the wonderful Gouda. After our tour of the Holland’s Family Farm, we were treated to supper by the Thorp FFA chapter. They had just attended their state convention. The students got to discuss similarities and differences of being in FFA in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Friday The last stop on our trip was the Boettcher’s Brookview Acres, Mrs. Timm’s home farm. They run a purebred Hereford and Simmental beef farm. They sell many of their breeding stock through area breed sales and implement many conservation practices. We hopped abroad hay wagons to see the cows and calves in the pastures. The students had so much fun on this one-of-a-kind learning venture and are already working with the instructors to get the 2012 Trip work completed.
