DESCRIPTION
The 12.3.12 weekly edition of the Fillmore County Journal.TRANSCRIPT
Likely the biggest topic in the community in recent days, R-P district superintendent Chuck Ehler and board representative Greg Smith addressed the city council this past Monday about the upcoming December 19 referendum vote. Along with a presentation highlighting the preliminary plan of the new $15 million elementary facil-ity, the duo discussed several frequently heard talking points including issues discussed ear-lier in the night, in Peterson, at the first public referendum forum. “We’re trying to be sensi-tive,” stressed Ehler. “We’re not building the Taj Mahal here. We’re trying to build a viable, functional facility that meets our needs now and in the future.” The plan entails a new 69,000 square foot building situated just northeast of the district’s Niggle Athletic Field
which would house the 300 students in grades K through 5, plus the 86 children currently in early childhood classes, with room to grow. According to Ehler, R-P is the only district in Fillmore County with gain-ing enrollment in the last three years. He hopes a new elemen-tary will draw younger families into the community. “There is a future here in Rushford-Peterson,” he stressed. One of the biggest issues with the New School Initiatives is what will happen in Peterson. When the districts consolidat-ed in 1990, the elementary and high school students were placed in the Rushford facility while middle school students were placed in Peterson. The facility now needs a new boiler, windows, flooring, and venti-lation, which could cost over $1.2 million to remedy. Should the referendum pass, the dis-trict will retain ownership of the building and the parcel of land it sits on, but adjacent land goes back to the city of
Peterson for $100. It will be vacated, repurposed, and likely sold. “The school district is not interested in maintaining three facilities,” noted Ehler. “We are working with Peterson to find a collaborative, coopera-tive use for it. The options are wide open.” Losing the use of the Peter-son facility is not favorable with all, as Ehler noted from the night’s earlier public forum. When questioned about the anticipation of losing students, he acknowledged that some indicated they would send their children elsewhere should the district move out of Peterson.
“Some of those fund balances of other schools were built on the backs of R-P. The money followed the students who open enrolled there. I’m disap-pointed in the law that allows districts to bus students right

At the November 26 Chatfield City Council meeting an amend-ed list of Particular Fees, Fines and Charges under Ordinance 406 was unanimously adopted. Councilor Paul Novotny was absent. All city fees, fines, and charges will remain constant with the following exceptions. The base monthly water rate fee will be raised to $9.18, a three percent increase. The per 1,000 gallons less than 2,000 charge will be raised to $3.17, a three percent increase. The sanitary sewer base monthly rate will increase to $38.10, a six percent increase. The per 1,000 gallons less than 2,000 charge will be $8.17, a six percent increase. The non-metered monthly fee will be $50.36, a one percent increase based on 3,500 gallons. Ambulance transport (basic
life support) will be increased by $50 to $650. Ambulance transport (advanced life sup-port) will be increased $50 to $850. The cost of an EMT class will increase by $75 to $800. The cost of an EMT refresher class will increase by $25 to $275.
Hitching Post Robert Vogel, Historic Preser-vation Planner, discussed what he called a piece of street furni-ture which in its day was con-sidered an important piece of street furniture. The last hitch-ing post in Chatfield, probably dating back to the early twenti-eth century was damaged in the spring of 2010 during sidewalk snow removal. He said it was not a significant historical piece, but of educational interest. He recommended it be replicated on a different corner, moving it north a block where it will not

At the November 27 meeting of the county board the morato-rium that was established Febru-ary 28, 2012, was lifted after the mining ordinances were adopted. Commissioner Duane Bakke noted his attire this day, referring to his winter coat, is again what it was that day in February, illustrating the many changes in outer wear along the way through the seasons of this process. The board room was again filled with many of the same res-idents that have contributed to the process. After the lifting of
the moratorium and before the board concluded their business for the day, four applications for industrial mining had already been requested from the zoning office. Earlier during the citizen input portion of the meeting, two people spoke asking for more restrictive language in the indus-trial mining ordinance. Steve Hartwick noted he lives less than a mile from the Fillmore County line and was concerned about the water table. He asked why not require a barrier of 25 feet from the water table rather than just 10 feet, adding it should

from the community, right out of the district,” added Elher. The state dollars for the student may go to another district, but tax dollars for a referendum will stay within the district.
“You’re gonna be paying taxes here,” he stressed. “I’ll be sad-dened and disappointed if they [go elsewhere].” It’s also hard to determine what the outcome of savings to the district will be. With-out knowing the reuse of the Peterson facility, the district won’t see the biggest savings for 5-7 years, when it hopes to begin Phase 2 of the initiative, the construction of the middle and high school facility at the new location, and the massive
Rushford facility is also vacat-ed. Ehler believes it makes no sense to stay in that facility. Foundation movement has led to plaster coming off ceilings and walls, brick walls calcify-ing and crumbling, and more.
“When do you get to the point where you stop putting money in it?” he questioned. “It’s older than the Titanic and you know where that sits.” Another question that’s been posed by the public is why the similarly-built Rushford Lutheran Church is not seeing the same decay. “There’s not the same amount of activity. Also, TLC has not always been the case over here,” responded Ehler. “When I came here there wasn’t one roof vent work-ing. We invested and fixed it. There were no eave troughs

and the water funneled down the sides of the building. There was black mold from the foun-dation to the top of the first floor walls. We fixed that. Now all surface water goes into the storm sewer. I want to go on record for what’s been done during my tenure; for people to say we haven’t done anything is baloney. We have.” “We have to think long term. We have to look down the road in this situation. It’s a step in the right direction,” added Smith. “We can’t continue to use the Band Aid approach. Someday, the taxpayers will have to make a decision if they want to do more or not.” Councilor Roger Colbenson, a staunch opponent of rais-ing taxes questioned whether or not the district would uti-lize new technologies for the new facility. While the district and board aren’t ruling any-thing out, they have received preliminary costs estimates for geothermal at an additional $947,000, with a 25-year turn around on savings recoupment, and solar options at a whop-ping additional $1.5 million. It is anticipated, but not definite, that as much surface water run-off as possible will be reused with underground storage. The facility will take advantage of as much natural-light as possible, with large windows, including a row elevated along the cen-ter of the roofline. A nod to
the natural beauty of the area is also expected with exposed timbers inside and out, as well as large stone columns. Surprisingly, another often-asked question is why the dis-trict is bothering with a phased approach. The district’s earlier plan had called for the building of a $29 million early child-hood through grade 12 facility, with the hopes that the state would contribute $20 million to the cause. After pushing for inclusion on various funding but being denied, the district board decided to move forward with the phased plan, hoping to show the state that the com-munity was behind the New School Initiative and potential-ly garnering financial assistance from the state in the future. The district knows the com-munity can’t build the com-plete facility on its own. “We can’t financially saddle our tax payers with that,” responded Smith. “Take the tax impact amounts and double them.”
“We’re not insensitive to the community. We’re also aware of the poverty level in Fillmore County, if we can’t do this, we can’t do that. It would blow us out of the water,” agreed Ehler. “You need to do something. If this is not the plan, then tell me what the plan is,” echoed Ehler. “It’s not fiscally pru-dent or responsible to continue to do nothing. That’s part of the problem, nothing has been done. You’ll always have some that are resistant to change. The board is very progressive right now. If it doesn’t pass, we’re not going to tuck our tails and run. You still need to do something. $15 million is a lot of money, I can’t deny that. But, I’m not giving up.” “We don’t want to see taxes raised, but it’s good to see investment in the community,” added Smith. “If we get voter approval, our board will dive in to work within the money.

A vignette of Christmas past By Yvonne Nyenhuis During the Depression, my Father, Mother and two older sis-ters, Althea and Evangeline went to live with Mom’s sister, Aunt Ora in a large Victorian house in Hunting-don Valley, Pennsylvania. She inher-ited the house from my grandpar-ents and needed help maintain-ing it. We mounted the steps to the veranda and went through the front door where we were confronted with an oak staircase leading to the second floor. To the right was a room on the north side of the house which would be our family living room. There were two upright pianos. My Mother was an accomplished musician and gave piano lessons. There was a fireplace, a large, firm, wine colored sofa and a fake oriental carpet. My mother saved old woolen coats and rags and sent them to the Olsen Rug Com-pany where the wool was processed and woven into carpets. Dad kept a fire burning cold winter evenings in the fireplace. Mom loved to sew and embroider and watch the flames curl
Yvonne Nyenhuis
around the logs while my father read to her. On the South side of the hall was Aunt Ora’s living room filled with plants and sunlight and pre-sided over by “Dicky bird,” a yellow canary. The fireplace in that room was used on special occasions. This home was the perfect set-ting for our family, for parties and celebrations. Leaves were put in the oak table in the dining room to accommodate extended family and friends. Thanksgiving, there was a twenty-pound turkey basted to perfection. Stem glassware held fresh fruit salad. The centerpiece was a basket shaped like a cornucopia with pomegran-ates, oranges, apples and grapes spill-ing from it in profusion. The light from orange candles reflected on the sterling silver and the white damask table cloth. There were whipped sweet potatoes topped with toasted marshmallows, French cut string beans in cream sauce, crisp flaky rolls, and red port to drink. For des-sert there were pumpkin, apple and pecan pies topped with homemade vanilla ice cream. After Thanksgiving it was time for my sisters and I to stroll with Daddy down the railroad tracks following the Pennypack Creek and
winding through the woods. Dad carried a basket on his arm and a small trowel. We searched for flat rocks, bits of ferns, moss and small plants. A favorite tradition, each year, was re-creating the Christ-mas Representation. Dad built a wooden box about four feet long, open on one side and with another box extended out the back, a sort of stage. Mother clothed dolls about four to six inches high in bits of fabric to represent Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. There was a tiny figure wrapped in white linen, the baby Jesus. The wonderfully realistic flock of sheep were eighty years old. They were china with wool coats that had worn thin over the years. In November, Aunt Ora began baking Christmas cookies. There were brown and white pinwheels, rich nuggets dipped in powdered sugar, chocolate balls, lacy molas-ses cookies and of course cut outs of trees, wreathes and Santas. My sisters and I carefully arranged tiny red cinnamon balls, white pepper-mint candies and green holly leaves, sprinkled with red and green sugar and filled in areas with icing on the cut out cookies. We took pride in our artistry. The process went smoothly for the most part. There could be a problem. The oven was heated by wood or coal and it wasn’t easy to regulate the heat. One time the cookies burned. The kitchen
filled with smoke. Aunt Ora flew open the window yelling loudly in Pennsylvania Dutch, “Doner-vitzen-all!” Christmas morning we would bound out of bed and scurry down the stairs and stare through the broad doorway into our living room. We were greeted with the smell of pine and the warm glow of colored lights that permeated the early morning haze. The Christmas tree rose majes-tically to the ceiling, twinkling and proud. A mountain of gifts were piled at the base, resplendent in bril-liant red, green, blue, silver and gold wrappings. The stockings we had hung the night before were bulging with mystery and promise. We were allowed to take down our stockings and investigate their contents before Mom and Dad were awake. When they came down in their robes, we filed into Aunt Ora’s living room. Dad got a fire going in the fire place. The - Bible - was open on a table. In the center was a red satin marker with the Lord’s name in Hebrew. I lighted the red candles on either side of the Word. Dad lifted the paisley curtain on the Represen-tation to reveal this year’s scene. He began to read. “And there were in the same country shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night ---” We prepared for the rigors of the day with a hearty breakfast. Then came the moment we had eagerly
anticipated for weeks, the excite-ment of finding what was contained in the boxes with the bright paper and ribbons. There were sets of things to make; beadwork, embroi-dery, paints, dolls, books and per-fume, jewelry and new clothes. The noise level grew to a deafening roar punctuated by squeals of delight, laughter and everyone talking at once. When the din subsided, Mom took her place at the piano and with great gusto, we sang carols. Dinner time was gaining on us. The table groaned under the weight of good things to eat. The center of the table was decorated with pine boughs, pine cones, red ber-ries, shiny ornaments, and included red candles whose flame sustained a warm glow over all. Those who hung around for supper were invited to snack on leftovers and play cards. Holidays are created with a loving heart. Traditions carried on from year to year help us bridge the gener-ations. Every year the sounds of bells and Christmas music, fragrances of pine and incense, the lights warm-ing the dark, reminds us there is still love in the world. As we shop, we see our neigbors walking with a lighter step and smiling. “Merry Christmas to all!”

Letter about R-P referendum
To the Editor, I think everyone in Rushford would love to have a new school. The thing that concerns me is the cost to the tax payers. $15,000,000 is not something to deal with lightly. I know that the interest rates are very low, but we would still be paying millions in interest. It looks like the state has no plan at this time to help and I don’t think we should figure in our plans that we will get any help in the future.
Like everyone else, I have noticed my taxes climb every year since we moved into our house 18 years ago. When the city or county decides to raise it one percent or two percent each year it doesn’t look like much, but over a number of years it gets to be a lot. Add the fact that the value of our homes have gone down and some of us are paying double mortgages for the homes we live in, it gets to be a burden. We also have to look at the fact that a lot of people in our town are on fixed incomes.
I heard that there are a lot more people in our area having to use the food shelf. In the paper I saw that the school has a foundation now. I thought this would be great for a new school but it is for scholar-ships. Maybe we could set up a place in the foundation for a building fund. We could send memorials there. For the people that really want the school, maybe there would be a way that they could give the amount that their taxes would go up to this fund or for oth-ers they could give what they
feel they could afford and add it to their taxes. Maybe we could do fund raisers. I may be wrong but I feel we need to start some sort of a nest egg to get this thing rolling instead of just waiting and hoping the state will give it to us. Have an option to do something besides a yes or no vote and maybe build a complete new school instead of a partial fix while keeping the high school that is the main problem.

By Andy Prinsen In a recent letter written by a Mr. Brett Kues, he admits over and over again that he is “con-fused,” and in reading your letter to the editor Mr. Kues, I will sec-ond that idea. First off, I would like to thank Mr. Kues for bring-ing to light some of the misconcep-tions floating around and allowing those that know the facts to respond. Much like many other people, I was raised with a strong sense of community and civic duty, one that calls on me to find out all of the FACTS before making an important decision. Many of the claims or insinua-tions you made in your letter seem
as though you wandered down the street and grasped onto any old rumor and falsehood avail-able. I realize that you have been in town a short time and I wel-come you to our community, but the educational facility issue in the RP school district was a pre-flood problem. Your letter also mentions that you are confused by the wording of the ballot and you insinuate that this money will be used to balance the budget. The FACT is that bonded money for build-ing cannot be used in the gen-eral fund to balance budgets; it has to be used for building an educational structure. You also bring up the decade old rumor that there “isn’t enough land” to build a building due to the state requirements of having at least 35-40 acres on such a site as to build a school building. This myth has been debunked years ago as the state has allowed us to
Civic duty calls for educating yourself with facts use the park and activity field area adjacent to the school property as green space. Unfortunately you do not stop there, you take these two rumors/falsehoods and come up with two paragraphs of “smoke and mirrors” which include a highly fictional, and laughable Plan A and Plan B. I will give you credit, when talking about the average tax increase for a home in the school district you do use the factual number of $269. But then you add “Personally, I think the estimate is low, and the actual increase will be much higher.” Once again, you feel the need to spread your knowledge of the Minnesota Property Tax Sys-tem, or you are grasping at straws that aren’t there. You still didn’t stop there. Next, you became an expert in the area of school construction where you erroneously guestimated that the entire project would cost $45 million dollars down the road,
Andy Prinsen
plus you came up with a seri-ously flawed projection of the tax impact. Is it your strategy to throw out really large but erroneous numbers to try to scare people? Spreading false information is cer-tainly not an honorable act in any society. I could go on and debunk all of the rumor, myth and errors in your “commentary,” but I will get back to my main point. Every citizen of the RP school district must work to find the FACTS. Cut through the “smoke and mirrors” used in commen-taries like Mr. Brett Kues’ and educate yourself so that you have the FACTS to make an educated decision. I am a property owner, I have kids in the school district , and I will be voting YES on this issue because I personally feel that it is my community and civic duty to support this project, but I will respect any and all citizens that work to base their decision on the FACTS.

NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS
Letter about closing the middle school
To the Editor, My name is Maynard Thomp-son. When the Rushford-Peter-son middle school was started in 1990, I had been work-ing on a middle level teaching degree. There is a degree for middle level instruction. This degree makes a teacher quali-fied to each grades 6-8. With-out this degree a high school teacher teaches grades 7-8 and an elementary teaching degree works for grade six. I was fortunate to be the first middle school principal. This is just what I wanted because I was so excited about middle level kids and what could be done with their instruction. This is the last best chance to reach students and what a great setting to have twenty plus acres with athletic fields and gymnasium. The school has a fire land around the building with off-street bus unloading and is totally handicap acces-sible. You have acres of grass in which to work and play. The heating system is designed to take outside air, heat it and send into the classroom. A few years ago there was a movement to construct a new high school and close the middle school. I was a mem-ber of that committee and we met once a month for a year. The leaders of the group were people from outside our com-munity. After a year’s time, the vote was taken and voted down five to one. How many million would it take to build a facility as good as the middle school we already have? We
could spend a small amount of money to air condition the already well-insulated building and add a new music room. Students do not learn from the concrete and bricks but from the fine instruction that is made available. Also there are those special teachers that relate well to the middle school age group. What an asset to the community to have stu-dents who are successful. They can actually help a community and not be a burden such as can happen when a person is not steered in the right direc-tion. I encourage you to get out and vote no again. Let’s con-tinue to improve on a the won-derful middle school facility we already have.

Letter about frac miningTo the Editor, To the handful of big land owners and county officials who will win the frac sand lottery, congratulations. Many more residents of Fillmore County fear the risks frac sand mining poses to our property values, air and water quality, noise levels, road safety and wear, tourism, farming, and scenic landscapes. Not to men-tion the downstream impacts to communities to which this sand is ultimately shipped. The County’s proposed industrial mining ordinance offers some assurances, but ignores a host of reasonable pro-tections requested by residents.

industrial mines that can oper-ate simultaneously in a single township, the Planning Com-mission (PC) advised residents to seek that protection from their townships. So the process has to be repeated more than 20 times by more than 20 dif-ferent groups of people? Do residents even know who their township ordinance makers are? Is this efficient govern-ment? For mines to potentially operate 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. week-days and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays seems excessive to the many residents and visitors who value this county’s peace and quiet. Requests to fur-ther cap mine hours of opera-tion seemed to also be ignored by the PC. Several weeks ago, Tom Barnes sent the PC the language a Wisconsin county included in their ordinance to require mining corporations to ensure no loss of pre-mining property values within a cer-tain radius of their mine. It is an excellent incentive for the corporation to operate respon-sibly. All our county officials had to do was copy and paste, but they did not. When lead-ers fail to protect the interests of the majority of residents, you begin to question whether financial conflicts of interest are weakening our democratic process. Hopefully the County Board will show greater leader-ship at their 11/27 meeting.

Letter about R-P referendum
To the Editor, This letter is in response to the commentary featured prominently in The Journal on November 26, written by Brett Kues, about the school referendum. I have never heard of Mr. Kues, even though I’m also a resident of Rushford, but he explains that he’s new to the area. Mr. Kues’ commentary is full of so many errors and misleading statements that it’s
hard to know where to start. He makes a lot of statements but never cites specific sources, unless you count Google maps, which he used to find out how far it is to Peterson (he could have saved time on Google because any local person would have been happy to tell him how far it is to Peterson). But what bothers me even more than all of his fear-mon-gering and untruths is his neg-ative portrayal of the people of Rushford. Like Mr. Kues, I am not a Rushford native; I have been a property owner here for thirteen years. Dur-ing that time I have witnessed the people of this town rise to great heights demanded by a lot of challenging situations. I’m very proud to be from Rushford, which is why Mr. Kues’ commentary made me angry. When you accuse our city leaders of being dishonest Mr. Kues, you’re not talking about some political leaders far away. You are talking about our own citizens - people who live in Rushford, have families, work here and have pride in our community, both present and future. For you to sug-gest that any of the boards or councils in Rushford are made up of less than honest, hard-working people is unbelievably insulting to all of us. Have you attended any meetings of local boards and councils? Well, I have, and what I see are sin-cere people who are willing to sacrifice their time to study issues of importance and make sometimes difficult decisions after careful thought. Maybe where you came from
leaders were dishonest and false in their efforts to improve their communities, but that’s not how we do things here. We all get one vote in the upcoming school referendum, Mr. Kues, and frankly, I don’t care how you vote. But I hope you’ll take the time to make sure you have your facts straight. More than that, I hope you’ll open your eyes and take another look at the people of Rushford because you’re reading us all wrong.

In the November 26 issue under the headline “Mining ordinance sent to county board,” Beverly Crowson was misidenti-fied as Beth. Also, she spoke of the family descendents of her grandfather, Louis Trulson who was born in Pilot Mound Town-ship in 1872. She pointed to members of the Trulson family, not the Crowson family, that have lived and owned land in Pilot Mound Township with-out interruption for about 100 years. She made her comments as did several others asking the planning commission to restrict the concentration of industrial mines to two per township. This restriction did not get included in the final draft of then pro-posed Ordinance 736 regulating industrial mining.

be near a fire hydrant, at the corner of Second Street and Twiford Street. He suggested a plaque or sign be added not-ing its history. Vogel believes it would cost less than $1,000 to replicate. Councilor Ken Jacobson said replicating the hitching post should hinge on the power com-pany helping to pay for it since it was their equipment that was responsible for the destruc-tion of the original hitching post. The council approved the reconstruction of the hitching post contingent on the power company helping with the cost.

By Jade Sexton Patty Heminover of Springsted financial advisors gave the Fillmore Central School Board some great news at their regular meeting on November 27. She informed the board that the alternative facilities bonds were sold at a competitive sale that day, and that Fillmore Central had an upgrade in their Standard and Poors rating. The district is now ratedat anA+,whichhelped themtremendously in receiving a lower interest rate. The bonds were sold at lower than projected at 1.74 percent. Hemi-nover said it is the lowest interest rate the district has ever had. “That is really darn impressive,” said Heminover. She presented the board with a plaque congratulating them on their rating improvement. The bonds will be used to pay for the HVAC project at the highschool, which will begin in May. Part of the reason the district was able to get a better rate was the increase in general fund over the last five years. According to Superin-tendent Richard Keith, the OPEB
bonds from 2009 have saved the district $100,000 a year, and the HVACprojectdoneattheelemen-tary building has saved the dis-trictinoperatingcosts.Allofthesethings have helped them build up the general fund from $200,000 to over $2 million in the last five years.
Audit Report The board approved the audit report as presented by Jason Boyn-ton of Smith & Schafer. Boynton shared that the district is doing well, and has a strong general fund bal-ance. The student numbers, which had been declining for several years, remained steady compared to 2011. Boynton went over the expen-ditures and revenues for the year. The Community Ed. expenditures were up a little, and the food ser-vice revenues and expenditures were both up. The food service has a zero balance, which Boynton said most schools have. The district is paying down their debt service fund. Boynton said it was a strong year for the general fund, and the OPEB bonds in 2009 have helped the dis-
trict a lot. Chairperson Ross Kiehne thanked Boynton and everyone for their work. “We are definitely going in the right direction,” said Kiehne.
Technology Committee Keith told the board that the technology committee is mov-ing forward with the one-to-one program in which the students in grades 9-12 will be receiving Mac Airlaptops.Theywouldliketogetthe policies and financing in place to start this program for the 2013-2014 school year. Keith explained the year after that they would like to include grades 7-8, and would like to get more iPads in the elementary school. The infrastructure upgrades need-ed for this technology was complet-ed over the summer, and the district hired Barb Thompson full time for technology needs.
Personnel The school board approved the resignation of Scott Stockdale as a custodian. They also approved the hire of Jill Miller as a paraprofes-sional at the high school for 6.75
hours a day, and Genevive Hanson as a day care aide. Keith Larson was hired as the head coach for base-ball.
Other Business Principal Heath Olstad told the board about a program headed up by Melanie Olstad in which some high school students will be volun-teering their time to help out at the Harmony Habitat for Humanity house. The board approved another pro-gram in which people can bring food shelf donations to all home games in December and receive one dollar off the price of admission to the game. A change to the employee lifeinsurance policy was approved, with a lower premium and more cover-age. The board approved an open enrollment request from a fam-ily that moved to the Lanesboro School District. The Truth in Taxation hearing will be before the regular school board meeting on December 18 at 6:30 in Preston.

I am tall dark and handsome, I have long slender legs, and I wiggle my butt when I walk and when I am happy. I have a really short tail so I never have to worry about that being in my way or yours. I can get excited sometimes, but I can also be pretty mellow at times. I am very smart and I use the toilet outside like good dogs do.

4 Tbsp. butter meltedl lb onions, peeled and choppedBrown onions in butter until softStir in 2 Tbsp. of flour and a pinch of salt, stir to mixAdd 5 beef bouillon cubes and 4 cups of waterStir above and bring to boil, simmer for 1/2 hourButter French bread slices on both sides and top with Swiss cheese...toast until crispy in oven (and cheese is melted)
Put l bread slice in bottom of soup bowl and ladle soup over the top of it.
“Campbell’s Soup is M’m, M’m Good.” We knew that commercial was true because we had eaten a pantry full of their chicken noodle and tomato soup. Chicken noodle soup magically cured colds and tomato soup with grilled cheese was a gourmet delight. The Campbell’s kids, a red-headed boy and a blonde girl, were cute with their brown eyes and dimples. Sometimes the boy had blonde hair and the girl had red hair. Strange! We even saved the bright red labels to send in for free stuff. We wanted the soup bowls but our mother insisted that we send for the soup spoons with a U.S. President’s face on the handle. They weren’t breakable.
Raising four children had given my mother a phobia about broken dishes. I didn’t know why at the time. Those spoons are now sold at antique shops. How time flies. Campbell Soup merchandise is still being made and sold, too. Homemade soup when I was young was usually a way to serve leftovers. It was either that or a casserole of leftovers mixed with a cream soup from Campbell’s. Turkey noodle soup appeared after Thanks-giving and ham with split pea soup would appear after Eas-ter. Thrifty cooks never threw anything away. A turkey car-
cass or a ham bone made a deli-cious broth. I always “made” soup for lunch when I babysat my two cousins. They loved chicken noodle soup. One loved the broth. One loved the noodles. Woe to the babysitter who put even one noodle in that broth. The broth lover then consid-ered her soup contaminated and threw a hissy fit. I learned that lesson the hard way. When I married and began cooking from scratch, I learned that there were even soups that were served cold. These were never my favorite. I also discov-ered that soup could entice my family to eat more vegetables. Delicious and healthy - a won-derful combination. Collecting soup recipes became a hobby. Some soups required much chopping, which I find relaxing. Others required hours of simmering, creating a wonderful aroma in the kitchen. Still others had great garnishes like popcorn, sour cream, or taco chips. Eventually I purchased a chef-like soup pot and vintage rimmed soup plates and vin-tage soup spoons. Making soup made me feel like a pioneer woman cooking something in a black cast iron pot over a huge open fireplace. My favorite homemade soup is cheap, easy, and elegant. How often do those three adjec-tives go together? I clipped this French Onion Soup recipe out of a magazine, tried it and loved it. When I served it to my mother-in-law, a fantastic cook, she loved it so much that she put it in the Bremseth Fam-ily Cookbook. What a compli-ment. I felt honored. She traditionally serves it on Christmas Eve.

Patrick A. Johnson Navy Seaman Patrick A. Johnson, son of Meg Johnson of Mesa, AZ (recently relocated from Lanesboro) and Doug Johnson of Preston, and also grandson of Marilyn Soland of Lanesboro, completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training
In the service Command, Great Lakes, Ill. as of November 9, 2012. During the eight-week program, Johnson completed a variety of training, which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefight-ing, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physi-cal fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations,” which gives recuits the skills and confi-dence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attri-butes of sacrifice, dedication, team-work and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core val-ues of honor, courage and commit-ment. Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor. Johnson is a 2011 graduate of Lanesboro High School.

By Cody Hendrickson I am one of the biggest sports fanatics that you will find. I could watch/play them all day long. Whether it is cheering on all of Fillmore Central’s teams, watching College Game Day, or sitting on the couch w a t c h i n g NFL Sun-day, I could do it all, all day long and that is why I plan to continue my educa-tion into the world of sports as well. I plan on attending Bemidji State
University to major in Sports Management with a minor in Mass Communications. This will allow me to continue my passion for sports in a wide variety of ways including being a General Manager of a major sports team, and we all know that the ultimate goal is to win a championship, but with us being from Minnesota, most people can’t remember the last major sports title. So, in this week’s article I’ll recap Minne-sota sports. The Minnesota Twins’ last World Series title was in 1991, with another one four years ear-lier in 1987. The Twins showed promise in the early 2000s but failed to get past the ALCS and now amidst a rebuilding project that is almost five years in the
Journal Writing Project
What’s a Championship? We’re from Minnesota! making, the Twins show very little promise to bring another championship back to Min-nesota. Hopefully Target Field is good enough for Minnesota fans, because if the Twins keep performing at this level it may be the team’s final stadium. The Minnesota Vikings have made it to the Super Bowl four times since the modern era going 0-4 in those games. They showed promise with Denny Green’s team in 1998 before fall-ing to the Falcons in the NFC Championship game, thanks to Gary Anderson’s right foot. They again brought hope to Min-nesota in 2009 with a miracu-lous season led by Brett Favre but yet again lost in the NFC Championship game. Like the Twins, the Vikings have been a rebuilding team for the past few years, and will continue to be one until Christian Ponder becomes a consistent NFL start-er, or the Vikings draft an elite quarterback, along with keeping Adrian Peterson in the purple and gold. The Minnesota Timber-wolves have been rebuilding for awhile. They had a streak of seven straight playoff seasons and reached the Western Con-ference Finals in 2004, but lost to the Lakers. The Wolves have been in a slide ever since they
Cody Hendrickson
traded Kevin Garnett to Boston in exchange for Al Jefferson. The team has showed promise over the last two years with Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio, but with power houses like Oklahoma City, Miami, and New York, the Wolves aren’t very likely to win a championship in the near future. Minnesota has plenty of teams to cheer for however. The Min-nesota Lynx did win the WNBA title just a year ago and you can always cheer for your Gold-en Gophers, even though you know they will disappoint you
at some point like they always do. Minnesota is a great place for a sports fan. It may not get the attention like New York or a Los Angeles, but we have every-thing you need in the sporting world. In the end it is about winning championships, but just be thankful you have the opportunity to cheer on your favorite teams. I mean it could be worse, we could be from Iowa. If you want to see some of my other thoughts follow me on Twitter: @CoachCody_09 Cody Hendrickson is a student at Fillmore Central High School. He is one of 8 area students par-ticipating in the Journal Writ-ing Project, now in its fourteenth year.

December 2-8 is National Influenza Vaccination Week and the statewide Ban the Bug effort to encourage Minnesotans to get vaccinated against influenza. Fillmore County Public Health (FCPH) is promoting these efforts by offering flu vaccinations via appointment. “It is not too late to get a flu shot,” said Fillmore County Immunization Coordinator Tina Peters. “The Ban the Bug Cam-paign seeks to remind people that there is still time to protect them-selves against influenza.” Influenza vaccinations are rec-ommended for all Minnesotans over age six months, but they are especially important for young children six months to five years old, seniors, people of any age
Ban the bug week- it’s not too late to get the influenza vaccination!
with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, people living with or caring for those at high risk for complications from influ-enza, and healthcare workers. At Fillmore County Public Health, flu mist vaccinations are available for healthy individuals aged 2 to 50. The cost of the flu mist is $25.00 each. Both adults and children with a Minnesota Health Care Plan can receive flu mist free of charge if all health
insurance cards are presented dur-ing the appointment. FCPH also has flu vaccina-tions available for people with no insurance or whose insurance does not cover the cost of a flu vaccination. These vaccinations are available for anyone age six months or older. For more information about the Ban the Bug vaccination appointments, call Tina Peters at 507-765-3898.

produce an industrial product. Benson then asked that indus-trial mines be limited to two per township, suggesting they proceed with caution. There were no other com-ments from the public this day when the ordinances were dis-cussed by the board as the pub-lic hearing for the ordinances had been held at the November 15 planning commission. At that time the planning com-mission voted unanimously to recommend adoption of each of the ordinances by the coun-ty board.

not be a hardship for opera-tors. Bakke said the DNR will comment on individual CUP applications and there may be a different number required for a particular CUP. Harvey Benson, Harmony, asked if livestock bedding production was commercial or industri-al. Bakke explained bedding is commercial, adding that a mine operating under 736, industrial ordinance, can also produce a commercial prod-uct. However, a mine oper-ating under 721, traditional construction materials, can not
the review and study process, it was determined that two sepa-rate ordinances were needed, one for mining of construc-tion materials (721) and one for industrial mining including frac sand mining (736). During the process 721 was strength-ened. Commissioner Randy Dahl asked if materials pro-duced for a wind farm would be under 721 or 736. Graves said they would be under 721 as the production of construc-tion materials for a wind farm would not be a long term proj-ect. The amended ordinance 721 was unanimously adopted as presented. The moratorium last February had actually been
placed on this ordinance. 736
Graves maintained there had been a lot of helpful public com-ments throughout the process during which this ordinance was developed. He briefly listed restrictions specific to this ordi-nance including only five active industrial mines throughout the county at a time, a limit of 50 acres with only 25 acres in use at a time, clarifying defini-tions, a review by a technical evaluation panel for each CUP application, mining opera-tion plans, covered loads, road maintenance agreement, and a beefed up regulation of blasting activity.
Dahl asked about how the application procedure will work with the 5-mine limit Bakke said an application will need to keep moving forward to complete the checklist needed. There will be a 60-day period after the checklist is completed for the application to be acted on. Dahl asked how long a mine can stay dormant before reclamation. Bakke explained active mines have to pay annual fees. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud asked about a scale at the mine. Graves said a scale will be required and reports will be made to the zoning office

On November 17, as part of the Holiday Fest, the Harmony Area Historical Society will present its cur-rent display of pictures and other items that capture the history of Harmony. The display will be in the HAHS Interpretive Room at the Harmony Visitor Center on Saturday from 10:00-4:00 and Sunday from
2:00-4:00. The display includes guest registers and pictures of the old Harmony Hotel, which was located where the present Visitor Center is now. There are also numerous pictures of Harmo-ny’s Main Street and private homes that show how many changes have come to Harmony since its incep-
“Historical Harmony” during Holiday Fest tion. A unique article is a large plat map from 1878 that shows which families owned particular sections of land around Harmony. One display case contains pictures and items that capture the history of Niagara Cave, while another case includes pictures of former Harmony businesses, buildings, families and individuals who were part of the Harmony com-munity. There are also many other interesting exhibits--including one on the karst geology of the area--and old photographs. People who come to the display will be served coffee and holiday baking as well. Set aside some time during Holi-day Fest to immerse yourself in the history and memories of Harmony. It’s a great way to learn about Har-mony and to discover fascinating facts and figures about its history.

quarterly. Amunrud suggested the word “haul” be changed to be more encompassing in 736.04 (4 and 5). The word “haul” was changed to “trans-port” and the words “haul back” were deleted. The board unanimously adopted 736 with those two minor language changes. After which, a resolution was unani-mously adopted which removed the moratorium which had last-ed about nine months. In a related issue Graves requested that the board con-sider raising the CUP permit fee for applications pertaining to Section 736 from $450 to $750. The increase in the fee will help cover the additional hours of work and review time that will be necessary for these applications. Graves estimated it will take 28 hours per appli-cation of his time. The increased fee was approved. •A CUP for HeusinkveldFarms, LLP, Section 28 Forestville Township, was approved to expand their exist-ing feedlot to 600 animal units as recommended by the plan-ning commission.

The amendments will remove the requirement for a permit for any size portable agricultur-al building on skids.

Bloodmobile in Harmony on December 11
Twas-2 Weeks before Christmas, I ran through the house...Not one handmade gift, I felt like a louse.The teachers, the neighbors, the mailman and more...With so much to buy, what could I afford?
And then I remembered the best place in townWith dozens of goodies, the best prices around!I jumped in the car, and drove in a hurry...To Mabel Flowers & Gifts, I’d no need to worry!
The sign said “OPEN”-the lights were ablaze... I opened the door, I was so AMAZED! The trinkets were lovely and well made as well All sparkled with glitter and adorn by a bell.
I shopped and I shopped as I checked off my list.Found just what I needed what more could I wish!As my treasures were packaged, I smiled and I said“I’ll be back tomorrow, and I’ll bring a friend!”
Come and share some holiday cheer with us,As you enjoy an evening of stress free shopping.

Fillmore County SportsGirls Basketball
CHATFIELD GOPHERSHead Coach: Brian Baum 2011-2012 finish: 14-4 in 3-Riv-ers (tied for 3rd), 21-8 over-all; S-S 1AA-East champs; 1AA runner’s-up (lost 56-52 to Zum-brota-Mazeppa in Section final)Starters Lost: Sarah Costello (5’8” F), All-Conference; Erin Kammer (5’6” G), AC Honor-able MentionStarters Back: MaKenzie Miller (6’1” senior C/F), A-C, led team in scoring in 2011-2012; Sidney Irish (5’4” junior G), A-C HM; Traci McDonald* (6’1” senior C); Kirsten Keefe* (5’7” sopho-more G). *Basically split a start-ing spot. Other Key Returnees: Karlee Moulton (5’8” senior F); Can-dace Gould (5’8” senior G); Kil-eigh Dudek (5’7” senior G)Roster: 17 (6 seniors, 7 juniors, 4 sophomores) Prognosis: should compete at the top of the 3-Rivers with Dover-Eyota, Caledonia, and South-land. Could do a repeat of 2011-2012, if cards fall right, though its a tough section.
RUSHFORD-PETERSON TROJANS
Head Coach: Terry Pelzl (new, former R-P boy’s varsity assis-tant)2011-2012 finish: 5-13 in 3-Riv-ers, 11-17 overall; S-S 1A East runner’s up (lost 67-35 to Spring Grove in Sub-Section 1A East finale). Starters Lost: Kenzie Lind (5’10” F); A-C; Katie Wolter (5’6” G) Starters Back: Amy Todd (5’9” senior F), A-C HM, led team in scoring in 2011-2012; Kendra Crawford (5’6” junior G), AC HM; Cody Manfull (5’7” senior G)Other Key Returnees: Sier-ra McNamer (5’9” junior F); Hope Morrison (5’7” junior F); Courtney Doerr (5’3” junior G); Mariah Mueller (5’6” senior G). Roster: 9 (4 senior, 5 juniors, underclassmen yet to be deter-mined) Prognosis: could find it tough sledding against the upper ech-elon 3-Rivers teams, but should improve upon ’11-‘12’s con-ference record. A Sub-Section 1A-East run is very much pos-sible.
KINGSLAND KNIGHTSHead Coach: Jill Thalmann (new) 2011-2012 finish: 7-11 in 3-Riv-ers, 11-16 overall (lost 76-50 to Z-M in Sub-Section 1AA West quarterfinal)Starters Lost: McKayla Pruter (5’1” G), A-C HM; Nicole Swanson (6’2” C), A-C HM; Lindsay Tart (5’8” G/F), A-C HM; MacKenzie Marzolf (5’9” F) Starters Back: Cheyenne Losey (5’11” senior G/F), A-COther Key Returnees: Jessi Kaster (5’10” senior G/F); Brianna Musel (5’9” junior F); Lizzie Tart (5’8” senior F); Haley Col-ton (5’3” junior G)
Roster: 16 (7 seniors, 9 juniors)Prognosis: should be competitive with ‘the rest’ of the 3-Rivers teams, behind D-E, Chatfield, Caledonia, and Southland.
FILLMORE CENTRALFALCONS
Head Coach: Sarah Tollefsrud2011-2012 finish: no 3-Riv-ers games; 4-15 overall (lost 49-47 to LeRoy-Ostrander in a 1A-East quarterfinal)Starters Lost: Alex Peterson (5’11” senior F/C), A-C HMStarters Back: Jordan O’Connor (5’5” senior G); Morgan Malley (5’6” sophomore G); Sammi Bakke (5’10” sophomore F); Leah Scheevel (5’9” sophomore F)Other Key Returnees: Kaitlynn Aug (5’11” sophomore F/C); Larissa Armstrong (5’5” fresh-men G)Roster: 14 (3 seniors, 1 junior, 6 sophomores, 3 freshmen, one 8th grader)Prognosis: after a year hiatus from playing official 3-Rivers games, FC returns to the con-ference and, due to the youth (1 American senior, 1 junior), it’s going to be tough. Sub-sections offer more hope.
LANESBORO BURROSHead Coach: Kelly McMillen (new, Lanesboro girl’s B-squad coach in 2011-2012)2011-2012 finish: 12-6 in SEC (4th), 13-15 overall (lost to Houston 51-35 in 1A-East quarterfinal)Starters Lost: Paige Hungerholt (6’0” F/C), A-C; Bryn Harmon (5’8” F), A-CStarters Back: Alisa Warnes (5’10” senior F), A-C HM; Johanna Bearson (5’5” senior G); Kirsten Ruen* (5’8” senior F); Bailey Gartner* (5’7” soph-omore G). *Basically split start-ing spotOther Key Returnees: Kaia Hongerholt (5’6” junior for-ward)Roster: 16 (4 seniors, 3 juniors, 8 sophomores, 1 freshman)Prognosis: loss of ‘H’-girls hurts, but SEC isn’t as powerful with Spring Grove devoid of gradu-ated Richelle Mehus and Taylor Elton.
MABEL-CANTONCOUGARS
Head Coach: Adam Wilder (new)2011-2012 finish: 4-14 in SEC, 6-20 overall (lost 73-20 to Spring Grove in 1A-East quar-terfinal)Starters Lost: **Bailey Hanson (5’8” F)Starters Back: Christy Wel-scher (5’9” senior F/C), A-C; Lydia Geving (5’7” junior G); Carly McCabe (5’4” junior G); Sara Lind (6’0” junior F/C); **Danielle Paul (5’4” senior G). **Partial starter.Other Key Returnees: Abby Han-son (5’7” junior G); Amanda Rasmussen (5’8” senior F)Roster: 14 (3 seniors, 5 juniors, 3 sophomores, 1 frosh, 2 8th graders)
Basketball Previews Prognosis: with 8 upperclassmen, Cougars are in best position experience-wise they’ve been in the past two years. That should almost guarantee they improve upon last year’s records.
Boy’s BasketballRUSHFORD-PETERSON
TROJANSHead Coach: Tom Vix2011-2012 finish: 15-5 in 3-Riv-ers (tied for 2nd), 26-6 overall; Sub-Section 1A-East champs; Section 1A champs, state 3rd place (beat Mountain Lake-But-terfield-Odin 75-58) Starters Lost: Nick Thompson (6’4” F), A-C. Trent Vix (5’9” G), A-C, Nate Kingsley (6’0” F) Starters Back: Jorli Hauge (6’1” junior F); *Austin O’Hare (6’2” junior G/F); *Seth Thompson (6’2” junior G). *Split a start-ing spot.

That is a task. With Coach Vix though, they are at least the/a favorite in Sub-Section 1A East.
CHATFIELD GOPHERSHead Coach: Tom Bance2011-2012 finish: 8-12 in 3-Riv-ers, 10-17 overall (lost to P-E-M 76-58 in a Sub-Section 1AA-East semifinal)Starters Lost: Jake Peterson (5’9” G); Tyler Lund (6’3” C); Josh Bernard (5’11” F)Starters Back: Nate Skare (6’2” junior G), A-C; Mitch Irish (6’2” senior F)Other Key Returnees: Jake Neis (5’10” junior G); Luke Isensee (6’3” senior G); Jayme LaPlante (6’3” junior F) Roster: 17 (5 seniors, 10 juniors, 2 sophomores)Prognosis: A breakout year? The Goph’s downed P-E-M, the Class AA state champ, a sea-son ago (a possible harbinger of things to come). The trio of Skare, Neis, and LaPlante will be formidable.
KINGSLAND KNIGHTSHead Coach: John Fenske (new)2011-2012 finish: 15-5 in the 3-Rivers (tied for 2nd), 20-9 overall; Sub-Section 1AA-West runner’s-up (lost to Byron 55-48 in the Sub-Section 1AA-West final)Starters Lost: Tanner Lange (6’1” G), A-C; Sam Eberle (6’0” G), A-C; Spencer Klevan (6’4” F), A-C; Devin Pokorney (6’3” F); Soren Grandall (6’1” G)Starters Back: noneOther Key Returnees: Marshall Oeltjen (6’2” senior F)Roster: 11 (2 seniors, 4 juniors, 4 sophomores, 1 freshman)Prognosis: after losing five start-ers and their top six players, the good news for the Knights is the 2012-2013 team played togeth-er all last season as the Knights B-squad. Filip Swanson (6’7”) is
also the county’s tallest player. FILLMORE CENTRAL
FALCONSHead Coach: Aaron Janssen (new)2011-2012 finish: 4-16 in 3-Riv-ers, 9-19 overall (lost to Spring Grove 73-62 in a Sub-Section 1A-East semifinal)Starters Lost: Zach Olstad (5’11” G); Tyler Eickhoff (5’10” G); Isaac Sveen (6’4” F/C); Mitch Johnson (6’0” F); *Andy Todd (6’1” F); *Ryan Baker (5’11” senior G) Starters Back: *Dan Gatzke (6’3” senior F) *Part-time starters. Other Key Returnees: none Roster: 16 (9 seniors, 7 juniors)Prognosis: only Gatzke returns, leaving FC inexperienced and finding new roles. That doesn’t necessarily bode well, though improving on last season’s four league victories isn’t exactly a big step-up.
LANESBORO BURROSHead Coach: John Smith2011-2012 finish: 15-3 in SEC (tied for 2nd), 16-10 overall (lost 71-61 to Houston in a Sub-Section 1A-East quarterfinal)Starters Lost: Braden Hanson (6’2” G), A-C; Cory Strom (6’0” G), A-C; C.D. Hanson (5’10” G), Joey O’Koren (6’2” F)Starters Back: Erik Peterson (5’8” senior G), A-C HM Other Key Returnees: Kole Ruud (5’11” junior G); Luke Rogers (5’10” junior G); Isaac Freese (6’3” senior F)Roster: 13 (3 seniors, 3 juniors, 7 sophomores) Prognosis: the outside shooting trio of Peterson, Ruud, and Rog-ers should keep the Burros again in the upper-half of the SEC.
MABEL-CANTON COUGARS

C/F), A-C; Jacoby Bigalk (5’10” G), A-C HM; Adam Fravel (6’0” F); Gabe Lind (5’10” F)Starters Back: Logan Henry (6’0” Sr C)Other Key Returnees: Noah Man-ning (5’11” Jr G); Hunter John-son (6’0” Jr. G); Justin Ward (5’11” Jr F)Roster: 12 (3 seniors, 4 juniors, 5 sophomores)Prognosis: It’s the post-Steve Smith era. The Coug’s will cer-tainly have a more guard-based system without the 6’3” 250-pound beast down low. 3-Rivers All-Conference Foot-

Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Edu-cator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Feeding and managing for efficiency in the feedlot while finishing cattle at heavier weights is the theme for the 2012 Cattle Feeder Day Program. As the US beef cow herd shrinks, and feeder sup-plies dwindle, the US indus-try has turned to relying on heavier end weights for finishing cattle. Concurrently, feeder prices have increased over 30 percent. These two fundamental changes in the cattle industry have significant implications on
feeding and managing cattle to prevent losses in efficiency at various critical control points in the feedlot; namely, feedlot cattle health and nutrition dur-ing the receiving and finishing periods, increased reliance on combinations of co-products and farm-raised feeds with little grain inclusion, and ensuring that losses during feed storage, transport, loading, mixing and delivery are kept to a mini-mum. The University of Minne-sota Beef Team is happy to announce that they have teamed up with two nationally-known experts to address these issues during the 2012 Cattle Feed-er Days program. Tom Peters, consulting nutritionist, will speak about retaining efficiency in spite of finishing cattle at heavier weights. Chad Zehnder,
Cattle feeder day 2012
Jerrold Tesmer
nutritionist with Purina Mills Feed, will speak about reliance on combinations of co-products and farm-raised feeds, and Alfre-do DiCostanzo, of the Universi-ty of Minnesota Beef Team, will address concerns with managing feed storage, transport, loading, mixing and delivery to retain efficiency. At the end of the program, speakers will host an open panel discussion to address
issues specific to local opera-tions. The program will be held December 13, 5:30 pm at Roch-ester Events Center, 7333 Air-port View Drive SW Rochester, MN 55902. A $30 registration fee will be charged at the door.
The fee for additional attendees from the same farm or family is $15/person. Preregistration is encouraged but not mandatory. Please preregister by December 5 with Devan Paulus-Compart at 425-246-6131 or [email protected].
Salvation Army kettle season is right around the corner in Preston. You’ll find the kettle and bell ringers in Preston on Wednesday, December 19 at the F&M Bank corner from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in front of Preston Foods. If you, your family or your group, would like to participate as ringers, half-hour shifts are available. To schedule a time, you can contact Barb Scheevel at [email protected] or at (507)765-4948. Fillmore County’s Salvation Army budget is based on what is collected in the Fillmore County kettles, so it’s impor-tant to donate locally if you want to help your neighbors in need.
