On January 15, 2013, a crowd gathered back by the frozen foods section of the Rushford Foods gro-cery store. Representatives from Congressman Tim Walz’ office, Senator Amy Klobuchar’s office, and Senator Al Franken’s office, mingled with Mayor Chris Hal-lum, City Administrator Steve Sarvi, and Tri-County Electric Cooperative management. In addi-tion, representatives, Adam Czech and Colleen Landkamer, from the USDA Rural Development office were in attendance to make an award presentation. This wasn’t a typical day in the frozen food sec-

tion of the grocery store. Hosting the crowd were grocery store own-ers Jim Hoiness and Brad Hoiness, along with Rushford Foods Frozen/Dairy Department Manager Sonia McNally. Since the 2007 flood that dev-astated the Rushford communi-ty, every business has been gone through a process of recovery and rebuilding. One of the staples of any com-munity is a grocery store. If you have one in your town, you’re lucky. Thus, when Rushford Foods was closed in 2007 as a result of floodwaters rising as high as four feet wall-to-wall in the store, the community was left with a void. Fortunately, Rushford’s hometown

grocery store was eventually able to re-open their doors 74 days later. Small town grocery stores seem to be a rarity these days. Since 2008, in Fillmore County grocery stores have closed in Lanesboro, Mabel and Wykoff. That’s why reinvestment in any small town grocery stores should be recognized as a big deal. It’s not just an invest-ment in a store, but a community. Since the days of the 2007 flood, Rushford Foods, Harmony Foods and Preston Foods have all seen investments inside and out. Most notably in the past six months, all three stores owned by Jim Hoiness and his son Brad

The Fillmore County Board, after several months of advertis-ing and interviewing possible c and ida t e s , hired the new county engi-neer, Ronald Gregg. He came on in mid October and worked with the then-retiring John Grinde land for a month before he took the reins as acting county engineer on November 19, 2012. Starting on December 31, he has been appointed to a four-year term as Fillmore County Highway Engi-neer. Gregg earned his engineering degree at South Dakota State, Brookings, S.D. Referring to himself as a city boy that has moved to the country, he was

raised in Burnsville, Minnesota. He worked first as Lincoln Coun-ty’s engineer for about twelve years, and then as Cottonwood County’s engineer for eight years. Gregg remarked he has gone from flat land or prairie to bluff country. He recognizes the big-gest challenge that comes with this county’s topography is the large number of bridges. There are 475 here compared with 220 In Cottonwood County. Gregg and Leann, his wife of sixteen years, are house hunting in Spring Valley to find the right home so they can “plant them-selves here.” He hopes to finish out his career in Fillmore County. They have two sons, Andrew (15) and Matthew (13). The boys are active in Boys Scouts. Andrew is working on his Eagle project. Gregg’s life has been a bit com-plicated since he started in Octo-

It was mostly routine busi-ness at the Spring Valley City Council meeting Monday night. There were the usual approval of new year items. The city had recently asked for bids on materials to build a bridge for the trails over the creek by the ambulance build-ing. The city asked for such things as 27 pieces of I Beam and several smaller pieces of I

Beam. There was 1,860 feet of planking, foundation pipe, there was channel iron cross bracing in the quote as well. To put it all together so it performs in a safe manner it was to be assembled and put in place. The total cost of the project was to be $31,310. The person submitting the bill was Ron Merkel of Spring Val-ley. “We don’t have that much money in the trail budget,” said Deb Zimmer, City Administra-tor. There was an exchange of

the Minnesota Association of

Soil and Water Conservation

Districts (MASWCD) Annual

Convention in Minneapolis on

December 4, 2012 to partici-

pate in the annual Outstanding

Conservationist Luncheon and

Award Ceremony. This cere-

mony recognizes Outstanding

Conservationists from around

the state that were nominated

by their local Soil and Water

Conservation Districts. The

Troendles operate Duschee Hills

Dairy near Lanesboro with Ben

and Darla Taylor, who were

unable to attend the ceremony.

They were selected by the Fill-

more Soil and Water Conserva-

tion District (SWCD) as their

2012 Outstanding Conserva-

tionists. The Farmer Maga-

zine supports the awards cer-

emony with sponsorship from

the Minnesota Corn Growers

Association. Duschee Hills

Dairy LLC was also named an

Area winner by the MASW-

CD and was presented with a

plaque recognizing them as the

Outstanding Conservationists

for the Southeast Area which

includes the counties of Hous-

ton, Fillmore, Mower, Free-

born, Steele, Dodge, Olmsted,

Winona, Rice, Goodhue, and

has greater than 6 percent slope

and nearly 80 acres are in the

floodplain. They protect these

sensitive areas in their corn-hay

rotation with 250 acres of hay

in contour strips connected to

an extensive network of water-

pest management ensure that

the land will remain productive

for future generations. Com-

Rick Grooters, Conservation

Specialist In many parts of Fillmore

County, the constant force of

wind exaggerates weather condi-

tions and makes living in these

areas seem unbearable. Cost

share is now available to assist

landowners in the establishment

of a windbreak. A windbreak

consists of 3-8 rows of both

conifers and deciduous trees

which are spaced at 16-24’ apart.

A well designed windbreak not

only slows the wind and pro-

vides snow control, but also

conserves energy of livestock

along with providing habitat for

wildlife. The Fillmore SWCD

has an excellent selection of trees

that are suitable for windbreaks.

If you are interested in a wind-

break, please stop in our office

in Preston or give us a call at

(507)765-3878 ext 3. Remem-

ber, a windbreak is a long term

investment which will add value

to your property and provide a

healthier environment for you

and future generations.

Conservationist A No-Till Field Day held at

the Arden and Travis Willford

farm southeast of Harmony

on June 28th was very well

attended with over 50 farmers

and resource people in atten-

dance. The Fillmore Soil and

Water Conservation District

(SWCD) in cooperation with

the Natural Resources Conser-

vation Service (NRCS) spon-

sored the event. Guest speak-

ers, a no-till farmer panel, and

in-field demonstrations of soil

quality highlighted the field

day. Three guest speakers pro-

vided information on fertility,

seed genetics, and economics

as it relates to No-Till. Jim

Fasching, soils consultant with

Mid-West Labs of Plainview,

MN, instructed attendees on

the importance of soil amend-

ments and their placement in

the No-Till farming system.

Of particular concern were

pH balance and the need to

address the availability of trace

elements to enhance the tran-

sition to improved soil qual-

ity in the no-till environment.

Nick Heronimous of Syngenta

Seed of Rochester, Minnesota

explained the importance of

seed selection as it relates to

no-till farming and provided

some examples of how seed

technology has led to improved

performance and pest resis-

tance. Finally Gary Thome,

economist and instructor at

Riverland College in Austin,

Minnesota summarized ten

years of economic data on no-

till vs. conventional tillage. His

findings showed a very mini-

mal advantage to conventional

tillage (less than $5 per acre),

and concluded that these fig-

ures did not include long term

losses of soil productivity or

Harmony highlights benefits of no-tilloff-site damage from soil ero-

sion with conventional tillage

which can be difficult to quan-

tify. Travis Willford was joined

by Rick Christianson and John

Bruihler, in a panel of local no-

till farmers discussing their no-

till operations. They explained

how they made the transition

to no-till, and gave advice to

operators wanting to make the

transition. The consensus of

the group was summarized by

Travis Willford “that anyone

could make the transition to

no-till if they want to make the

system work.” They all agreed

that their economic bottom

line was at least as good as con-

ventional tillage, and that the

reduction in soil loss, sustained

soil productivity, and improve-

ments to overall soil quality

were benefits that are very real,

but often difficult to quantify

SPRING VALLEYContinued from Page 1

A voice from the back of the room was Ron Merkel; “Would it get you closer to your budget if I dropped the price from $31,316 to $29,310 and then I can take it out of my budget?” Silence filled the room and then the Council accepted the bid. You could hear the reaction as thanks were extended to Ron Merkel for his act of citizenship took the limelight that night. The City Council also passed a resolution naming the Spring Valley Tribune the official news-paper. The Official Depository was named. There is the Security State Bank, Home Federal Sav-ings Bank, First State Bank and the First National Bank. All four banks in Spring Valley will be designated as the official deposi-

tory of city funds for calendar year 2013 with Home Federal Savings Bank being designated as the depository of the city’s Primary Checking. As part of the yearly house-keeping the Council approved coverage for injuries to elected and appointed officials. Resolu-tions were also passed establish-ing reimbursables for the City Personnel Policy. These are costs incurred by employees when they are attending meetings and doing official business. City Emergency Management Director John Dols presented his annual report to the Coun-cil. He said that he and Assis-tant Director Mike Zimmer are getting supplies and materials ready for the upcoming spring

storm season. Dols also gave an update on the narrow band-ing radio system. Along with that will be an upgrade for the sirens and relocating some of the sirens based on recent popu-lation changes. A new squad care was pur-chased at the meeting. It was a 2013 Chevrolet Impala Police 4 door. The total cost awarded to Zeimetz motors was $22,000.

By Eric Leitzen It’s probably been long enough that most of you have managed to betray the promises made at the year’s begin-ning: exercise e q u i p m e n t has started c o l l e c t i n g dust, you’ve s h e e p i s h l y hit the drive-thru again, maybe that pack of smokes was just too tempting. Allow me, instead, to give you a new idea for your 2013. It’s easier than an exercise regimen, less tempting than the odd cheeseburger or creepy/delicious processed rib sandwich, and nowhere near as dangerous as smoking. The only problem is that it involves being nice to twenty-somethings. I know, I know… I can see you roll your eyes even as I say this. Twentysomethings have become like holey old socks in the past six years or so, laying about the house and often having no visible pur-pose. Layabouts, nogoodniks, wanting something for nothing and spending too much time occupying parks or trying to get things legalized to go out and get a respectable job. I’ll be the first one to stand up and admonish my generation for its faults (and I have several times in the past for those that know me) but as the new year dawns and we pull ourselves out of Mayan hysteria, I’m looking to start over with some fresh perspective. We’re looking at a generation adrift, the likes of which have not been seen since the days after the Great War almost one hundred years ago, and youth

unemployment is at its high-est since World War II. All of the promises of jobs and careers were swept away in the recession, leaving twen-tysomethings to scramble for minimum-wage jobs or tem-porary work just to make sure they can pay back their tens of thousands in college debt. The birth rates are dropping as increasingly more young people put off the joys of fam-ily because, financially, it is an impossibility, and every penny is necessary for survival. The American Dream of our par-ents and grandparents is now truly that: ephemeral and out of touch. Two of the biggest hit songs of the past year were titled “Die Young” and “Live While We’re Young,” respectively. This generation, “Millenials,” as they are beginning to be called, are becoming more fatalistic and less enchanted with a world that once held such opportunity for them. The phrase “Lost Generation” is getting bandied about more and more, which is shocking considering the plush 1990s in which we grew up. As one who went through this period and saw it first-hand, I can say to you unequivocally that we were promised the moon and stars as far as careers, edu-cation, and prosperity were concerned. On top of that, we were one of the first genera-tions raised with the maxims of everyone being special and the old joke of “everyone gets a trophy.” When you contrast that with the harshest of reali-ties we have endured since late 2007, it creates a recipe for disaster. To that end, I feel I must call attention to something, and I am not pleased to do so. Over

Lost in Spades the past year, there have been several billboard incidences of violent outbursts and mania-cal acts of what can only be described as domestic terrorism from Colorado to Connecticut. Nearly every single one, par-ticularly those that have been the most ghoulishly popular, have been perpetrated by twen-tysomething males. One can only guess at their motives, or their mental abilities at the time of the incident, but that one common thread seems to link them together. Something is not good here, and without intervention things will only continue to get worse. This has been the rudest of awakenings to a generation that has never really been confronted before, and often lacks the skills to cope with failure. So, in this new year, I’m ask-ing one little concession to my generation of Millenials from you. If you see us, maybe at work where we mop the floors, maybe at home because we were forced to move back in, maybe on the street where we have what Shakespeare described as a “lean and hungry look,” take a moment to genuinely ask how we are. Make it feel like someone cares. You don’t have to praise us disproportionately, or give us anything of mon-etary value, or otherwise help us along. Just a simple and real question of “how are things?” can go a long way in stemming the tide of anger and frustra-tion that is boiling beneath the surface of this generation. Just to soothe the wounded soul of the Millenials, that compassion may be the saving grace that ensures this generation won’t be completely lost. It’s a little thing, and it’s easy to do, so why not make 2013 the year we start watching out for each other?

Government this week

Letter about SenateTo the Editor, I have to share two proposals made within the last week by two senators of our MN Sen-ate. 1. State Senator Ann Rest of NEW HOPE is asking for a sales tax on clothing. 2. Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk wants to change the Minnesota Constitution. He wants three-fifths vote by leg-islative members before amend-ments can be forwarded onto a statewide ballot. At present it requires a simple majority

without the governor’s signa-ture. Our Minnesota Consti-tution has protected us in the past and it will work for the future. I say leave our constitution alone Senator Majority Leader Bakk. Do not put a sales tax on my clothing Senator Rest. Both of these people are representing the Democratic Party. Readers, are they really representing you?

By Pastor Mike Hopper “Is there a God?” In the Janu-ary 14, 2013 issue of the Fillmore County Journal, Publisher Jason Sethre asked a good question. As a teen, I too asked that question, and since that time have come to the solid conclu-sion: “Yes!” Here are some signifi-cant factors that have influenced me. (1) Lack of transitional fos-sils. “Intermediate links? Geol-ogy does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory [of evolution].” (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species p. 323) If Darwin were alive

today he would see that the fos-sil record still fails to offer con-vincing evidence of transitional forms to support his theory of evolution from one kind of ani-mal into another (macro-evo-lution). “The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stag-es ... has been a persistent and nagging problem for ... evolu-tion” Stephen Gould, Marxist Professor at Harvard, Evolution Now. (http://creation-vs-evolu-tion.co.uk/Transitional_fossils.html) (2) Lack of reasonable tran-sitional forms. Darwin stated: “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly been formed by numerous, succes-sive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” Many animals today could not have developed gradually in that intermediate forms would be non-functional or even fatal.

Is there a God? “The woodpecker is a marvel of interdependent parts or ‘com-pound traits’-traits that depend on one another for any to have functional value. When a wood-pecker slams its head into a tree, the deceleration experienced is many times gravity. The nerve and muscle coordination must produce a dead on hit; a slip to one side or the other could virtually wrench the cover off the brain! For such drilling, a woodpecker obviously needs a tough bill, heavy duty skull, and shock absorbing tissue between the two. But if the woodpecker were put together by time and chance, without any planning ahead, which part came first?..” “To reach the beetles, the woodpecker needs more than just drilling tools; it needs a long, sticky tongue. But if a bird gets a long, sticky tongue just by chance, what’s it going to do with it? The answer for the woodpecker is to slip its tongue into a muscular sheath that wraps around the skull under the scalp and inserts into

the right nostril! That makes good sense (and good science) if you’re planning ahead, but poses real problems if your faith is in time and chance, trial and error. (From “Adaptation and Ecology: the marvelous fit of organisms to their environ-ment” by Dr. Gary Parker) (3) Strong dissent by repu-table scientists. During recent decades, new scientific evi-dence from many scientific disciplines have caused sci-entists to begin questioning Darwinism’s central tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater detail. Over 800 doc-toral scientists from around the world have signed a statement publicly expressing their skep-ticism about the contemporary theory of Darwinian evolution. The statement, located online at www.dissentfromdarwin.org, reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complex-ity of life. Careful examination

of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.” Lee Strobel, a graduate of Yale and former reporter for the Chicago Tribune, was skep-tical about Christianity. “My road to atheism was paved by science . . . But, ironically, so was my later journey to God.” Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant---or so Stro-bel thought. “But today sci-ence is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason.” (Zondervan, Apr 1, 2004) In “The Case for a Cre-ator,” Strobel presents a con-vincing scientific case for God’s existence. There must be a Design-er. (Nehemiah 9:6) Random chance evolution cannot explain the complexity of life that is seen in the world today.

Twenty-five of POET’s net-work of 27 biorefineries have now installed its patent-pending corn oil technology, bringing its total capacity to approximately 250,000 tons per year, enough feedstock to produce 68 million gallons of biodiesel annually. POET has been selling Voilà™ corn oil into biodiesel and feed markets since January 2011, when POET Biorefining – Hud-son (S.D.) first began to pro-duce it on a commercial scale. Strong demand for the product prompted upgrades at the major-ity of the plants in the POET network. “Having a more diverse port-folio of products has been a benefit for POET, particularly

when ethanol margins are chal-lenging,” POET CEO Jeff Lautt said. “Expanding our product line is an important part of our strategy for growth.” POET plants that are produc-ing corn oil today are:

Indiana POET Biorefining – Alexan-dria, Cloverdale, North Man-chester and Portland

Iowa POET Biorefining – Ash-ton, Coon Rapids, Corning, Emmetsburg, Gowrie, Jewell and Hanlontown

Missouri POET Biorefining – Laddo-nia

Michigan POET Biorefining – Caro

POET producing corn oil at 25 biorefineries Minnesota

POET Biorefining – Lake Crystal, Glenville and Preston

Ohio POET Biorefining – Fostoria, Leipsic and Marion

South Dakota POET Biorefining – Big Stone, Chancellor, Hudson, Groton and Mitchell as well as the POET Research Center in Scotland One of POET’s four Ingreenu-ity goals is to increase produc-tion of bio-based products. Corn oil is playing an important role in reaching that goal. “There’s a bio-based solution to so much of what petroleum supplies today,” Lautt said. “It’s exciting for me to see POET playing a large part in providing those solutions.” Voilà is just one item on POET’s growing list of products created at its plants. In addi-tion to ethanol, POET produces quality products for animal feed including Dakota Gold distillers dried grains. POET also cap-tures carbon dioxide at five of its plants for sale to beverage producers and other users. About POET: POET, one of the world’s largest ethanol producers, is a leader in biorefining through its efficient, vertically integrated approach to production. The 25-year-old company has a pro-duction capacity in excess of 1.6 billion gallons of ethanol and 9 billion pounds of high-protein animal feed annually from its network of 27 production facili-ties. POET also operates a pilot-

scale cellulosic bio-ethanol plant, which uses corn cobs, leaves, husk and some stalk as feedstock, and expects to commercialize the

process in Emmetsburg, Iowa through its joint venture with DSM. For more information, visit http://www.poet.com.

She also liked going fishing with her father, Paul when she was a little girl. Sandra enjoyed her visits to Arizona to visit her daughter, Kim. Survivors include her husband, Gerald; a daughter, Kimberly Ann Asleson (fiance, Joseph Roller) of Phoenix, Ariz.; and one sister, Paula (Morris) Kolstad of Stew-artville.

Emerson Jean barbaro Miss Emerson Jean “Emmi” Barbaro, 10, of Fayetteville, N. Carolina, passed away on Thurs-day, December 27, 2012, while

sledding with her best friend and brother, Julian and her two cous-ins, at their grandparents’ home in Dassel, Minn. She is survived by her mother and father, Heather and Richard Barbaro; her five brothers, Ryan of Dexter, Mich.; (and his wife, Devon, and children, Andrew, Dane, Mae, and Nora); Justin of Fayetteville (and his fiancee Cal-lie); Brandon of Chapel Hill. N. Carolina; Colin of Chapel Hill (and his fiancee, Lauren); and Julian of Fayetteville. She also is survived by her great-grand-parents, Orval and Alice Lea of Rushford; grandparents Barb and Craig Kay of Dassel, Aunt Pame-la and Uncle Eric Sandstede of Dassel, Aunt Carrie and Uncle Joe Harmala, and cousins Greta, Ryan and Darby of Pequot Lakes, Minn.; Aunt Leah Kay of Duluth (and her friend Michael Clark); Aunt Jeanette Bratti of Wantaugh, NY; and Aunt Kathy and Uncle Charles Prentice of Inverness, Florida. Emmi only lived 10 short years, yet she touched the lives of many. She loved Jesus and she loved life! She woke up every day with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. She was a great soccer player for the Fayetteville Force; ran several 5K races; completed two triathlons; and loved to swim, tumble and flip. She dreamed of competing in the Olympics one day; loved to sing; believed in Santa Claus; and savored the good in all people. She conquered her small world with luminous laughter and boundless energy. She was never ready for bed but always the first one up to start a new day. There were few things that Emmi wasn’t truly good at. She welcomed any challenge with relentless determi-nation. She was never afraid of

defeat, and win or lose, the result was always the same... a beaming smile from ear to ear. Her small frame carried a big personality and an even bigger heart. Unfortunately, a tragic accident ended her life here on this earth. She now sings and plays for Our Lord in Heaven. We miss her so very much! A celebration of life service was held January 2, 2013, at Manna Church.

By Kristina Mengis Music brings people together. Whether it’s coming together as fans of the same genre or actually com-ing together to make music, it is able to accom-plish wonder-ful things. Like someone once said, “Music does bring peo-ple together. It allows us to experience the same emo-tions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.” I spent this past weekend at Luther

College in Decorah, Iowa, at their Dorian Vocal Festival. I have always had a passion for music, but I still didn’t really know what to expect when arriving at Luther on Saturday afternoon. I’ll admit I was nervous, and I really wasn’t sure I should be there. This year was the 63rd annual festi-val. Twelve-hundred high school stu-dents attended this year’s festival. The students came from all across Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and South Dakota. To some people, the thought of that many high school students in one room would maybe be frightening. These aren’t just any stu-dents, though. They all had one goal:

to make beautiful music. Although some appeared to be there more for the opportunity to explore the campus and meet new people, the end result proved that they were all joined in a common interest for music. The festival began on Saturday with the arrival of the students in the Chamber Choir. The Chamber choir was composed of 100 students who were specially selected from the Festival Choir to perform three separate songs. Many of these students had previ-ously participated in honor choirs or had been selected to perform in their state’s All-State choir. These students spent Saturday practicing and also got the opportunity to listen to Luther’s Nordic Choir. I was very fortunate and honored to be selected for the Chamber Choir, along with my friend Morgan. After spending eight hours rehearsing together, it’s hard not to feel connected

with the people around you. On Sunday, the rest of the members of the Festival Choir arrived for rehears-als. The day ended with a concert for the students and a dance. Many students also had auditions in hopes of being chosen to perform a solo dur-ing the grand concert or to receive a scholarship. Monday’s rehearsals were to fix the last few spots that needed work. On Monday night there was a grand concert for the students’ families and the public. It took place in Luther’s Center for Faith and Life auditorium. The students filled the seats and fold-ing chairs that covered the floor of the auditorium, while the guests sat in the balcony. Before the concert was about to begin, the students decided to have some fun while waiting for the Nordic Choir to begin. They guys decided to start a wave and eventually the whole

Hoiness, have gone through an upgrade process that will save money and be kinder to the envi-ronment. For small town grocery stores to survive and thrive, they need to look at all expenses involved in streamlining the operations. While the payroll of 106 employees work-ing at Harmony Foods, Preston Foods and Rushford Foods is the number one expense of the three grocery stores, electricity is second right behind payroll. So, any energy expenses that can be minimized will help keep the stores operating more efficiently, short and long-term. Searching for ways to save on energy costs, the Hoiness’ called upon Brad Pecinovsky, Director of Member Services for Tri-County Electric Cooperative, to assess pos-sible Kilowatt hour savings at each store with an upgrade in refrig-eration doors. Pecinovsky’s assess-ment showed estimates of annual

savings at each story, respectively: Rushford 39,558 kWh, Harmony 5,367 kWh, and Preston 40,757 kWh. As Brad Hoiness was evaluating products that could help the stores save on energy costs, a fellow IGA retailer who had installed doors to save on his electric bill lead Brad to REMIS America. Paul Kelly, a rep-resentative from REMIS America based out of Elkhard, Ind., was also present at the January 15, 2013, recognition ceremony in the fro-zen foods section of the Rushford Foods grocery store, and he was happy to share that many gro-cery store owners have indicated that the REMIS America retro-fit refrigeration doors “keep the store warmer and the food colder.” Complimenting REMIS America for their help with installation of the retro-fit doors in their stores, Brad Hoiness indicated that the same refrigeration doors installed in Harmony Foods, Preston Foods and Rushford Foods are widely used all throughout Europe. Directing his comments to

GREENContinued from Page 1

Jim Hoiness and Brad Hoiness, Rushford City Administrator Steve Sarvi said, “We applaud your efforts.” While increase electricity usage is good for revenues for TEC and the City of Rushford, Sarvi

indicated that savings like this are a good thing. Jim Hoiness shared with the attending group that “We’re losing stores in the area pretty fast, and creating efficiencies like this help to reduce the utility expenses of gro-cery stores.” Hoiness’ have already estimated they will see a 9.5 per-cent monthly reduction in electric usage. In a speech to the group, Jim Hoiness summarized all the posi-tives relating to this transition: 1) fresher products, 2) reduced energy costs, 3) compressors are running less, which extends their life, and 4) the food stays colder while the customers stay warmer. Along with installing the REMIS America door system, all cases were upgraded with Zero Zone Crystal Doors and T-8 lights were converted to LED lighting. Lastly, the existing open dairy cases were replaced with the produce cases. Brad Hoiness added that the energy savings are significant with the cost of operating an open case running around $4,000 per year,

and the cost of operating a closed case at around $900 per year. In an illustration handed out to the crowd by Brad, based on 2010 U.S. Energy Administration information the average home uses 958 Kilo-watt hours of energy per month. So, with Rushford Foods seeing a three month reduction of 17,280 Kilowatts hours, the three month reduction would power 18 average sized homes for one month. As the presentation was coming to a close, Colleen Landkamer, USDA Rural Development State Direc-tor, complimented the Hoiness’ for making this investment, say-ing “These are great things that are happening, but it takes leadership.” Rush Foods, Inc., owned by the Hoiness family, used an $8,827 Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant to help purchase and install doors on its freezers and coolers at its Harmony, Preston and Rushford locations. The REAP grants may cover up to 25 percent of a project’s cost, and the remain-der of the cost was covered by Rush Foods, Inc.

choir joined in. They proceeded to start singing “We Will Rock You” and every-one clapped and stomped their feet. We also had a chorus of the SpongeBob Squarepants theme song and many other fun little songs. A couple of guys actually got up in front and led every-one in actions that mimicked being on a rollercoaster. I think the audience was entertained by the fun we were having. The concert began with a perfor-mance by Luther’s Nordic Choir under the direction of Dr. Allen Hightower. Five students were chosen to perform solos that they had already prepared with their directors. Next, the Cham-ber Choir performed their three songs. These songs included “The Boy Who Picked Up His Feet to Fly” by Joshua Shank, “The Water is Wide” arranged by Darmon Meador, and “Cert’nly Lawd” arranged by Moses Hogan. The Festival Choir ended the concert with five songs. They began with “Oh, Praise the Lord from the Heavens” by Pavel Chesnokov. The girls sang an Ital-ian Opera piece called “O, Pastorelle, Addio” by Umberto Giordano and arranged by Emile H. Serposs. Next, the guys performed “The Pasture” by Z. Randall Stroope. The entire choir finished with “In Remembrance” by Jeffrey Ames and “Upon This Rock” by John Ness Beck. The ending of “Upon This Rock” included a section for the audience to join with the choir in singing. The Chamber Choir and Festival Choir were both conducted by Dr. Hightower, Dr. Sandra Peter, and Andrew Last. All accompaniment was done by Dr. Jessica Paul. There were a total of ten students who participated in the festival from my school. I know many of them were also wary about what the festival would be like. By the end of the day, I know we all were glad to have made new friends and happy to have had such a great experience. Not only did we spend our weekend singing, we also had a lot of fun. There is something about making music with a large group that makes it different from normal choir experiences. It is a good feeling to come together and make beautiful music. Kristina Mengis is a senior at Mabel-Canton High School. She is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its fourteenth year.

My desk at the bank sits right next to the big glass windows. I can see who walks by and they can see me - some even wave! In the mornings I can see car after car of high school kids on their way to school. No one ever drove to school in my day. Some of the older boys had old souped-up hot rods and they drove them whenever they ran, but the rest of us just rode the bus. The high school was in Mabel so all the Canton kids rode the bus to school. If you had to stay after school for some reason there was a “late” bus that took you back to Canton around 5:00 p.m. Then if you were a boy and out for sports there was another late bus that left around 6:30 p.m. (No girl sports back then). Even on football and basketball

game nights the bus would run from Canton to Mabel so we could attend all the home games. If the games were away, there was always a fan bus that took everyone from both towns to the games. Most of the kids didn’t have their own cars - had to rely on the “family” car if you really needed to go some-where. And those family cars were big ole boats! Big Buicks, 4-door Chevys, and a few sta-tion wagons. Any one of them could easily hold 6-8 passen-gers. Sometimes on Saturday night one of us girls would get to use the “family” car and we would pick up about five other girls and head to Mabel. That was where all the action was! Cruising the main drag and eating at the Red Barn right on

main street (I think that it was called that???). It had a great Juke box and pool tables and was always packed with kids. I remember taking Driver Education class from Mr. Zim-mer. He taught that for many, many years! During the win-ter months when Mr. Zimmer taught Sophomore/Junior his-tory he would take six weeks out of the normal class sched-ule and teach classroom driv-er’s training to all that were there. Once the book learning part was done and we went and got our permits, he would take whoever was the closest to turning 16 and teach “behind the wheel” class. Couldn’t wait for that day!! Usually there were three kids at a time who took the behind the wheel training. We would drive from Mabel to Spring Grove or Mabel to Canton. Our big final test was driving all the way to Decorah! We did a lot of practicing by driving on country roads as that was where most of us lived (actually the gravel roads are where most people went “park-ing” or those roads led to the

fields where parties were held- I wouldn’t know a whole lot about either of those things!!). Since there was a lot of dairy farmers at that time, milk trucks were a very common sight on those gravel roads. Every time we came to a knoll or hill Mr. Zimmer insisted we say “milk truck milk truck” and we had to hug the right side of the road. It was to remind us that at any given time there could be a big ole milk truck com-ing up the other side of that

hill and we had better give him plenty of room! If you didn’t say it he would put on the brake, stop the car and wait for you to say it. To this day every time I come over a hill I get a little closer to the right side and still think to myself “milk truck milk truck.” You have to admit that saying that phrase over and over definitely sticks in your head!

Basketball BlitzkriegBy Paul Trende

Coug’s Down Short-handed Falcons

A hectic week of county bas-ketball action began on Monday, where the Fillmore Central girls hosted Mabel-Canton. It’s no secret the Falcons are a bit short handed. The last thing they need-ed was injuries, ailments, or foul trouble. They got all three. Two key players (starting F Sammi Bakke and reserve G Larissa Arm-strong) were in street clothes. Leah Scheevel (another starting F) played sparingly per fouls. The Cougars took advantage. The 1st half was tight (M-C up 20-19), but the Cougs began the 2nd half on a 13-2 run. They turned 12 O-rebounds into 13 second chance points. FC, utilizing a pair of 8th graders, was overwhelmed. M-C got the win 50-38. Cougar senior F Christy Wel-scher had 14 points (6 of 9 shoot-ing), 14 rebounds, and 6 steals. After sitting for much of the 1st half (2 pts, 0 rebs) per foul trouble, junior G Lydia Geving finished strong (13 pts on 6 of 8 shooting, 7 rebs, and 4 assists). The back-court of Jordan O’Connor (14 pts, 5 rebs) and Morgan Malley (10 pts, 4 rebs, 4 assists) led FC.

Burro Battlers The same night in Houston, the Hurricanes and Lanesboro girls did battle. The first half was back and forth. Houston led 32-27 at the intermission. The ‘Canes kept their lead early in the 2nd half. Then Lanesboro took control. The Burros built a 58-51 only for Houston to go on a 14-4 run to take a 66-62 (less than 0:30 to go). Johanna Bearson then made a pair of FTs. An Alisa Warnes bucket sent the game to overtime. There, Hous-ton outscored Lanesboro 16-8 for the 82-74 win. Abbey Loken (28

pts, 15 rebs) and Vanessa Lee (16 pts, 7 assists) were huge for the home squad. Anna Sweet (14 pts) and Kelly Jerviss (13 pts, 12 rebs) helped out. Lanesboro’s seniors led the way, Bearson (22 pts, 4-7 from deep), Warnes (14 pts, 8 rebs) and Kaia Hongerholt (10 pts, 6 rebs, 6 assists). The teams scored 97 points after intermission. On Tuesday in Spring Grove, the Lions and Lanesboro boys hooked up in a battle of SEC (6-0) unbeatens. Lanes held three brief leads (early). They stayed very close throughout. Late in the 2nd half, the Lions built a 60-50 lead before the Burros got to within two (64-62). They had the ball down three (65-62) in the waning seconds, but then a turnover. Spring Grove’s Josh Olerud, who had a career game (27 pts, 11 rebs), sank a couple FT’s to cinch it. The final was 67-62. Luke Rogers (26 pts, 7-9 FT’s, 7 rebs), Erik Peterson (15), and Kole Ruud (12) did the dam-age for the Burros. Each team attacked from three (Lanes 7-28, SG 8-25). The Lions held edges on the boards (38-26) and at the line (17 of 28 to 9 of 14).

Trojans Sweep Falcons Tuesday also saw the R-P-FC boys-girls series. In Preston, the underdog Falcon boys initially kept pace with the streaking Tro-jans. FC couldn’t keep from turn-ing the ball over versus R-P’s vaunted 1-3-1 trap, but they at least did so in the frontcourt (versus backcourt). R-P couldn’t immediately capitalize. The Trojans broke a 19-all 1st half tie with a 9-2 run to end the stanza. They took a 28-21 lead to the break. In the 2nd half, the lead ballooned into double-digits (32-21) before FC went on a 9-2 spurt. They pulled to within four

(34-30). Then instant-offense Charlie Krambeer, R-P’s soph-omore secret weapon, came in and drilled back-to-back triples. They gave R-P a 10-point lead. They stayed up by 10-plus. R-P prevailed 57-40. Junior G Seth Thompson led the way (16 pts, 8 rebs). Jorli Hauge added 13. For FC, Andrew Coyle (11 pts), Dan Gatzke (8 pts, 8 rebs), and Nick Powell (8 pts, 6 rebs) dominat-ed the action. The Falcons were doomed by 31 turnovers and the three-point shot (R-P 7-21, FC 2-7). In Rushford, it was the Amy Todd show. The Trojan’s 5’9” ath-letic forward entered the contest with FC on a scoring mini-slump. After putting up double-digits in each of her first nine games, Todd had 12 total (six each) versus Spring Grove and Southland. The Falcons evidently were the slump antidotes. Todd scored a sea-son high 33 (over half her teams points) and grabbed 13 rebounds. R-P downed FC 64-43. Morgan Malley (16 pts, 8 rebs) led the still short-handed Falcons.

ber, as his family still lives in Windom where the boys are in school. They hope to finish the school year there before moving to the area. Gregg has an apart-ment in Preston and commutes back to Windom and his family each weekend. He is considering taking up trout fishing. Gregg and his family love the outdoors, love to camp. His office is temporarily locat-ed on the lower level of the Fillmore County Office Build-ing during the remodel of the Highway Administration Build-ing. He had a little experience with the design process of a building while working in Lin-coln County. The county hopes to have the remodel complete in March. Gregg says he is thrilled to be working for Fillmore Coun-ty, adding the staff and county commissioners have been great and very helpful. It has been a good experience so far and he envisions bigger and better things to come.

By Kirsten Zoellner The city is drawing closer to a go-ahead for the renovation of the former municipal liquor store to a new city hall. A loan resolution with the USDA Rural Development Office was signed on September 24 of last year in order to fund the proposed project. While the USDA has recently requested the loan resolution be rescinded in order for the city to instead adopt a more applicable loan resolution security agreement, the parameters of the funding remain the same. Should the city proceed following bidding results, the loan would finance $200,000 of a proposed cost of $220,000, according to City Clerk Kathy Zacher. The loan would have a 40-year term with a 3.5 percent fixed rate. The loan would also be eligible for immediate repayment with-out penalty. Updated plans and specifi-cations for the project were reviewed and approved by

USDA January 11. Accord-ing to Zacher, the council has not yet reviewed the plans and specifications. USDA has authorized the project to be prepared to go to out for competitive construction bids. Should bids exceed the maxi-mum project cost, the city retains the right to decline all bids and opt out of the USDA loan. The city is also moving for-ward with the Pine Mead-ows North, Phase II Utility Line Extensions, affecting the Dammen properties, as well as possible future develop-ment. A draft agreement is in place and the water and sewer upgrades have been outlined in engineering plans and speci-fications. Part of the work will need to be assessed. The city engineer will review the final plans and specifica-tions to prepare them for bid letting, as well as the assist in addressing the final assess-ment and easement agreement

Rushford moves forward with potential USDA project

between the city and property owner John Dammen. In other news, Meadowlark Restorations has been granted the authority to seek DNR funding for the removal of invasive species on Magelssen’s Bluff. Scott Leddy, representing Meadowlark, a non-profit orga-nization, addressed the council. “Funding is being poured into this area due to the number of rare [plant] species,” he noted. “We’ve gotten a lot of sup-port from the Fish & Wildlife Services. The bluff was listed as one of Minnesota’s highest quality prairies in 1992, but it’s overgrown now with vegeta-tion.”

Photos from the late 1950s show a treeless landscape on the bluff, but it is now overrun with invasive species such as Cedar, Buckthorn, and Prickly Ash. Using the Legacy grant funding through the DNR, Meadow-lark Restorations would clear the bluff of the invasive species by cutting and some treatment with the herbicide Garlon. It should be noted to local resi-dents that the treatment with Garlon is minimal and will not involve spraying on the bluff. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, January 28, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

rent or lease for the produc-tion of agriculture commodi-ties. This applies if you plan to use restricted use pesticides, and reside in the state of Minnesota, and your certification expires in 2013. You have three options to renew your Private Pesticide certification. Attend a Recer-tification Workshop instead of retesting. Complete the test as home study course, books and tests have arrived at the County Extension Offices. Or, complete the test on-line at: www.pat.umn.edu. Recertification must be completed by March 1, 2013. If you are not currently cer-tified (i.e. certified through March 1, 2013) you cannot become certified by attending a Recertification Workshop. In that case, to become certified take the 2013 test on-line, or take the 2013 mail-in test avail-

able from your local County Extension Office. If you chose to attend the 3.5 hour Recerti-fication Workshop to renew the private applicator certification in lieu of taking a test, the MN Dept. of Ag requires applicators to attend the entire 3.5 hour workshop to receive recertifi-cation credit. Applicators that arrive more than 15 minutes late to a workshop will not be allowed to receive recertification credit. The cost to recertify, by attending a workshop or testing is $50 for three years. Checks only (no cash, please) made pay-able to the U of MN. Registra-tion for workshops will be taken at the door, no pre-registration is required. When attending a recertifica-tion workshop, you must bring an official photo identification card, (driver’s license, passport or some type of official docu-

ment). Bringing your Private Pesticide Applicator Certifica-tion ID card, too, assists in the registration process. Persons who don’t have their Applicator Card may obtain their applica-tor number on-line at the MDA website (www.mda.state.mn.us) or by contacting MDA at 651-201-6633. For those choosing to take the test there is a new Manual – the NEW 19th Edition of the Private Pesticide Applicator Training manual. All 18th Ed books can be recycled. They will no longer be valid to use with exams. The new manual will retail at $10.00 per copy. A PDF version of the new 19th ED manual will be posted on-line and available with the online exam.

individuals can access the on-line exam and other program resources: http://www.exten-sion.umn.edu/pesticides/pri-vate.html If you are wondering if a workshop is still being held due to weather you can check the Farm Information Line 1-800-232-9077.

The streams of southeastern Minnesota are very differ-

ent from North Shore streams. Most rise from springs and

thus are cool in summer. The limestone and alluvial soils

in drainages make the streams hard, nonacidic, alkaline

and very productive. Whereas the North Shore streams

have relatively few aquatic insects, the southeast streams

produce frequent hatches of mayflies, caddis f lies and

midges-all providing food for trout.

Nonetheless, southeast trout streams do have problems,

most related to agriculture. Fence-to-fence grain farming

on the uplands and pasturing of the river bottoms contrib-

Southeastern Minnesota trout streamsute to land erosion and sedimentation of the streambeds.

This fine sediment covers the gravel runs and riff les that

trout need to spawn and invertebrates need to survive. The

clearing of shoreline trees takes away the underwater root

wads and fallen trees in which trout find cover from current

and predators. Finally, many of these streams simply aren’t

very large, and large trout find little cover. So, while the

best of these streams may produce up to 300 pounds of fish

per acre-excellent production by any measure-18-inchers

may be scarce except as figments of the imagination.

Because the chemistry and productivity of these streams

By Karen Reisner The January 14 Chatfield City Council meeting began with the administration of the oath of office for re-elected Mayor Don Hainlen and newly elected councilor Robert Pederson and re-elected councilor Dave Frank. Councilor Ken Jacobson was absent. Pederson was presented a plaque with the Athenian Oath, an oath of civic responsibility. Russ Smith was elected Vice-Mayor. Mayor Hainlen reviewed the high points of 2012 and noted expected activities and opportu-nities for 2013. In 2012 the city had the sewer lines video taped to provide information for priori-tizing necessary short- and long-

term repairs. Hainlen said that there are new shops on Main Street and some planning for new construction expansions. A new policy for posting the city’s used equipment that is for sale on the Internet has resulted in more interest and higher sale prices. The use of iPads by the council has allowed for elec-tronic and improved commu-nications. The city was able to present a 2013 budget requiring a minimal tax increase. In 2013 the Mayor noted the city will continue to work on sewer repairs. The boulevard trees are to be removed. What may be put in there place is still being discussed. Hainlen noted that the local motel has been sold and that there have been

Chatfield looks forward to 2013 discussions on the possibility of a new motel. The Center for the Arts continues to be used for a wide variety of events, business meetings, celebrations, and so on. Hainlen referred to the Cen-ter as a quality of life asset. He concluded saying he was look-ing forward to opportunities in 2013.

Other Business In Brief •Kristi Clarke, city planner,listed six recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance. Lan-guage in the B-1 district for permitted uses is recommended to be changed from “reducing salons” to “fitness center, spa.” In the B-1 district conditional uses may include bed and breakfasts. In the RR district the words “Signs shall not exceed 25 feet” are recommended to be deleted. Also, the minimum standards of a lot width and depth are clari-fied. In the R-2 zone the words “Signs shall not exceed 25 feet” are recommended to be deleted. Sign standards are regulated in Section 109. The council authorized City

Attorney Fred Suhler to produce a draft of the changes. •TonyLammersreviewedpro-posed 2013 street and utility improvements. A top ten list of needed repairs to the city’s sani-tary sewer system has been deter-mined from the televising proj-ect. There are broken clay tile pipes causing back up problems and man holes shifting which make a catch point on the sewer lines.

The removal of the trees, repair of the sidewalks, and pos-sible planters to replace the trees were discussed.

Works Committee will discuss options and work out details and bring back recommendations. •ApprovalwasgiventoappointDan Jaquith to be Emergen-cy Management Consultant.
