Teri Klaehn worked almost four years as a tax preparer and accountant with AgStar/Look-out Ridge Consulting. She can still be found in Preston, but now in her own office down-town as Teri Klaehn CPA, LLC. In May, Klaehn was laid off from her position at AgStar as part of downsizing. She loved working in Preston, and she loved helping the farmers in the area, so she opened her own accounting business on July 9. Klaehn didn’t make the choice to become an accountant until the age of 27, at which time she went back to college and received her Bachelors Degree

in Accounting from Winona State. “I took an accounting class in high school, and I thought it was awesome,” shared Klaehn. Klaehn loves working with numbers, and she has been bal-ancing her mom’s checkbook since the age of 12. She worked as an accountant at Mayo Clin-ic, for an architectural and engi-neering firm, and at her own office in Adams, where she lives with her husband Bryan. The job at AgStar was a good fit for Klaehn. “I was raised on a farm, I’m married to a farmer,” she said. “I speak the language, if you will.” Klaehn loved it in Preston, and loved helping farmers with their accounting needs. Since

she was laid off from AgStar, she cannot contact her client list from there, but she has gotten calls from many of them that still want her services. She has received a good response from the advertising she has done so far. Klaehn does a lot of tax prepa-ration and planning with people, and she also offers payroll and accounting services for busi-nesses. She has been told she must be crazy to enjoy doing taxes, but it makes her happy. “I don’t want tax prep season to be stressful,” said Klaehn. “I like to help my clients get the

The Preston City Council at their September 17 meeting dis-cussed and granted two peti-tions for vacating portions of city streets and two requests for building variances. Councilman David Harrison was absent. Jon and Christine DeVries requested that the 300 block of Brownsville Street West be vacated. This section of street is not developed. The section to be vacated is a 33-foot section with city utilities under it. The city would retain an easement for electric, water and sewer utilities. City Administrator Joe Hoffman said there is no inten-tion to build on this area. Linda Hennessey emphasized the importance of easements, asking questions about her own sewer line. Neighbor Fran Sauer spoke in favor of vacating this

section of street. The resolution was adopted vacating this sec-tion of Brownsville Street West with additional language stating the city retains easements. Charles Aug, representing C & G properties, requested that the dead end section of the 400 block of Farmers Street West be vacated. The dead end street cut off by the Highway 52 new construction is adjacent to the USDA Service Center. Hoffman said the entire 66 feet would go with the lumber yard property. This section of street is 165 feet long. He recom-mended the city retain the ease-ments as the city has water and sewer utilities under the street. Aug commented that the use for the street would be for parking spaces, which is how it is cur-rently used. He added that the building to the north is rented

The ten-member Sand Com-mittee has been meeting regu-larly since before the moratorium on mining was put into place late last February. About forty concerned citizens, many worried about possible negative effects of large industrial mines and others concerned about whether exces-sive limitations will be put on the mining industry, have faith-fully attended the meetings. They ask questions, express their con-cerns and voice their suggestions. This September 18 meeting was the last for the Sand Commit-

tee. However, committee mem-bers will participate in Planning Commission discussions of the ordinances. Originally, the moratorium was put into place to learn about the industry, study how to regulate the fast-growing industry and to amend Ordinance 721 to include the mining of industrial mining like that of ‘frac’ sand. Over the many months the thinking has evolved to draft two separate ordinances. Ordinance 721 will have some revisions, but remain essentially the same and regulate traditional construc-tion aggregate mining. The new

gested the study was not appli-cable to Lanesboro. Gastner felt it was a good comparison due to the similarity in outdoor rec-reation available in both areas. Swanson said Stockholm, Wis-consin, would be a better com-parison. Harvey Benson asked how per-manent the jobs will be? He added we “know the cost of everything and the value of noth-ing.” Monica Hatch, Lanesboro, insisted the only thing she sees as permanent is permanent damage to the land and bluffs. Committee member Gary Ruskell maintained that the sand industry will provide year-round employment, more constant than tourism. He added the tourism industry adds to traffic also. He did seem to agree that the thing that could really be hurt is the landscape. Renee Bergstrom asked the committee to consider the effect on trout streams due to runoff, increased turbidity and sediment and water temperature. Robert Hatch, Lanesboro, asked that people in these com-munities be interviewed as to what they are living with, adding

“that will be us.” Gastner said the greatest concern in Chippawa Falls is train traffic. Karen Swanson insisted prop-erty values will go down near a mine, adding she would never buy a house next to a mine. Zon-ing Administrator Chris Graves noted that the county assessor’s office has not found any impact on property values near an active mine near Highland. Bonita Underbakke insisted 2,500 jobs for the whole state of Wisconsin is measly. Gastner said he personally wouldn’t consider 2,500 jobs to be measly. Frank Wright complained that they hadn’t talked about the downsides which would be useful information. He added nobody knows the size, scope and dura-tion of the industry for Fillmore County. Limits need to be set. Committee member Steve Duxbury asked Mathy Construc-tion representatives if they hire local for big projects. They said they normally do. Gastner noted that we want people to move into our communities for jobs, citing the negative population growth of small rural communities. Fran Sauer asked for clarifica-tion on what unit of government can set limits. Committee mem-ber Duane Bakke explained that the state sets minimum standards and the county can further restrict those limits, and the township can even further restrict those limits. The county can amend their ordinances to make those limits more or less strict as long as they remain within the state standards.

Ordinance 721 The language in 721 will remain pretty much the same with some clarifications on blast-ing and reclamation and the addi-tion addressing off road parking. Committee member David Wil-liams noted if an operation is permitted for 721 and the opera-tor wants to produce industrial

Ordinance 736 is being specifi-cally drafted to regulate industrial mining. The Sand Committee voted to move the drafts of both ordi-nances to the Planning Commis-sion. This is the next step in the process.

Effect on Economic Activity Cris Gastner, Community and Business Development Special-ist and Fillmore County EDA Office, was tasked by the com-mittee with gathering informa-tion from communities in Wis-consin that have had large indus-trial mines already in operation. Fillmore County citizens had expressed their concern that the industrial sand mining industry would have a negative effect on economic activity in the county, especially concerning the tourist industry. Jayson Smith, city planner in Chippawa Falls, Wisconsin, relat-ed to Gastner that the industrial sand mining industry has gener-ally increased income and jobs in the county. Jobs not only in the industry, but also additional jobs in other community service areas like healthcare. The EOG Resources plant that processes and ships out the sand by rail car employs 70 people with another 30 employed at the mine sites. The plant, which achieved full operation this last January, paid to the city of Chippawa Falls $1.4 million in property taxes last year. About 100 people also have been employed as truck drivers. Smith says the plant has had a positive economic impact on the city. Two residential neighborhoods are near the plant. There appar-ently has been no negative impact at this point, no mass turnover of property because of the plant. Smith adds that water usage has not had a negative impact on the city’s water capacity. The plant uses 18,000 gallons of fresh water per day and recycles 90 percent of the water using flocculants. The plant processes enough sand to fill 50 train cars per day. Smith sees two major negative issues due to the plant. With the increased rail usage wait time at rail crossings has increased, which will require more signage and caution. Quiet zones are needed for residential neighbor-hoods which are disturbed by train whistles. Mike Jordan, president of the Chippawa Falls Chamber of Commerce, notes there has not been a negative impact on visi-tors to the community or tour-ism, even along the truck route. He suggests there has been a posi-tive effect on food, beverage, and hardware businesses. He credits the sand industry with increased employment. The industry including mining, processing, and railroad facilities is expected to employ 2,500 more people when 86 facilities across the state become fully operational than were employed by the industry in 2008.

Comments Bill Swanson, Lanesboro, sug-

sand, he will have to get a new CUP under Ordinance 736. A motion to send Ordinance 721 to the Planning Commission was approved, where the ordinance draft will be discussed, refined, and may have further changes before there is a public hearing.

Ordinance 736•Roads The Road Maintenance Agree-ment (736.11) will be required and operators will have to agree to pay a road impact fee. The money will be kept in a fund and if it is determined after a period of years that an excessive amount has been collected, excess monies will be returned to the operator. Bakke said they went away from the bond idea for roads and generally copied Winona Coun-ty’s fee based system. Trucks will only be allowed on hard surface roads except when a short sec-tion of gravel greatly reduces the hauling distance. The exception must be applied for by the opera-tor and approved, in which case the operator must maintain the roads. •Limit on Number of ActiveMines Bakke introduced a new pos-sible restriction for the ordinance which would limit the scope of the industry within the county. He proposed putting a county-wide limit on the number of active industrial sand mines to six or eight. He compared it to ani-mal unit caps the county has for feedlots or limits cities have on the number of liquor licenses allowed at a time. Bakke explained the limit on mine size and number will allow them to better know after a few years what the effect of the industry will be on the county. A new application will be considered with the closure of an existing operation. It is possible there could be waiting lists. Frank Wright said the proposed

Government this week

Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand By Karen Reisner Rights and freedoms grant-ed by the first amendment to the Constitution including the freedom of speech carry with them the necessity to act respon-sively. Ideally at least, they should. With the unfolding of the pro-tests and riots in the Islamic world which were sparked by a crudely made, denigrating film, we are reminded that freedom of speech is an American value and unassailable, and not all will act responsibly. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, or Sam Bacile as he represent-ed himself while making the 14-minute trailer film, used and twisted the protection afforded by the freedom of speech in his production of an inflammatory film, “Innocence of Muslims.” Even the title was a lie, as it was a film made to incite the Islamic people. Actors hired to make the film were duped. Mohammed was later dubbed over ‘Master George.’ Nakou-la falsely claimed he was an Israeli-Jew to add to the effect of the hate film to further his agenda. He was surely well aware of the Islamic reaction to other disrespecting and dispar-aging depictions of the Prophet Mohammed. If the intention of the film was to denigrate a religion and knowingly pro-voke violence, is that protected under the First Amendment? The simple answer is yes. Nakoula is actually a Copti Christian which is the largest religious minority in Egypt. He has spent about a year in prison for bank fraud. He is currently on probation and lives in a

suburb of Los Angeles. Nak-oula also plead guilty in 1997 to possession with the intent to manufacture methamphet-amine. Per terms of his proba-tion, he is not allowed to use aliases or the Internet. He is under investigation at this time for probation violations related to the making and dissemina-tion of the film on the Internet. The reason for the investigation is not the production of the film, as it is not a crime under US law. The film was posted on the Internet in July and not translated to Arabic until shortly before the protests. The United States has denounced this film, which was made in America, but respects the first amendment right to make the film. This film has been used by extremist ele-ments to spark outrage. The film provided the spark to ignite the abundant fuel of discontent in Islamic countries which has driven the angry mobs. It seems the hate film is now being used by Islamic extremists and anti-American militants to create more anger and further their agenda in the Mideast. The film stirs up populations in countries with weak, fledgling governments and triggers an underlying resentment of the West. Our forefathers could not have foreseen this kind of abuse of the first amendment. They could not have envisioned how a filmmaker with his own agenda and a very small num-ber of backers could so effect world events through modern technology. There is the inabil-ity of many in the Mideast to understand that this offensive film is the work of a few and not condoned by or representa-tive of the United States. The United States defends the right to free speech regardless of how detrimental this particular

Karen Reisner

film has become, even when it effects national security. Presi-dent Obama has maintained that the attackers of the Lib-yan consulate that killed four Americans will be brought to justice. They are certainly guilty of criminal acts no matter what their provocation. US ambas-sador to the United Nations, Susan Rice reported that at this time (September 16) there is no evidence that suggests that the Libyan attack was preplanned. She believes it was a spontane-ous reaction, after the riots in Egypt over the offensive film just a few hours before. Extrem-ists with heavy weapons which are plentiful in Libya used the protest to attack the consulate and kill the four Americans. However, Libyan interim Presi-dent Magarief claims foreign-ers came into Libya in recent months and planned the attack which occurred on September 11. Rice reported that an FBI investigation is in progress. It should be noted that a major-ity of the Libyan people are pro American. Rice believes “opportunist extremist ele-ments” escalated the protests that resulted in the deaths of the Americans. In any case the extremists are taking advantage of relatively new, unstable and weak gov-ernments formed after the Arab Spring. These governments have not publicly supported the violent attacks. Opposing factions are jockeying to direct the future of several of these countries. Some have suggested that the making and dissemination of the film would fall under “reckless endangerment.” If the filmmaker expected the film to incite a riot and intentionally produced it for that purpose, would it still be protected by the First Amendment? The film

when aired broadly in Islamic countries produced the effect that one would reasonably expect. Many citizens in Islamic countries view their religion as their identity. Any disrespect-ing of the Prophet demeans their culture which is one with their religion. It is difficult for many of us to understand, as the violent protests seem to be an overreaction to a vulgar film. We should understand that the film was like throwing a match into a very dry grass; the condi-tions were already there for the angry mob reaction. Extremists are ready to take advantage of any spark to further their own political agenda. People with hateful agendas in this country have the right to use freedoms which many have fought and died for, thereby creating circumstances where more have to fight and die to continue to protect American values. Geoffrey Stone, profes-sor of law at the University of Chicago, concluded, “If we punish American citizens for engaging in otherwise consti-tutionally protected speech in order to prevent foreign terror-ists from engaging in violent acts, then we cede to those very terrorists the meaning of the First Amendment.” Stone is right. That being said, First Amendment free-doms are basic to our way of life. We should not abuse these freedoms, but protect and use them responsibly.

Letter about LanesboroTo the Editor, This past weekend I was a guest in Lanesboro and privi-leged to take part in the “Taste of the Trail.” While Whalan and Peterson went all out with signs and decorations, I feel Lanesboro was sadly lacking in both. Where was your “food on the trail”? Lanesboro, I think you should get your volunteers and your act together. Better luck next year.

Letter about Kingsley’s articleTo the Editor, Andrew Kingsley hit the nail on the head. It was refreshing to read someone saying it like it is. “We the people” as the preamble states, have been lulled into complacency. The thought of standing for something has been made to look unnecessary. When we think of the “what if ’s,” it’s also a bit scary. Something as simple as a campaign sign in our yard shouldn’t be a big deal. But…we found one sign bent up and strewn on the lawn. The other two signs were undamaged so it wasn’t the weather. We fixed it and put it back up. This morning that sign and another were missing. We have heard about incidences of people’s properties being vandalized due to the use of campaign signs. The debate? Do we put them back up and chance damage to our property or do we play it safe and let some-one else fight the fight? It makes me wonder, are we as a people ready to do what it takes to get this coun-try back in shape or are we content to let others pay the price? This country was formed and founded on the right to worship God and live in freedom. A lot of people sac-rificed a great deal, even their lives for those rights. There are plenty of other countries that do not live by God’s teachings and just as many that are socialistic, taking from those who work and redistributing it to support their social programs. Is it so wrong that we keep this nation available for those who want to live God’s laws and for those who want to provide for themselves in a free economy? I say keep this nation what it was formed to be

– “One nation under GOD indivis-ible with liberty and justice for all”.

Letter about Family ServicesTo the Editor, I’d like to thank Jerry Grehl for his letter outlining the sad news that Fillmore Family Services is shutting down, but clearly his version of the story is not reality. First of all, I voted to pro-tect funding for crime victim services projects. The problem is, Governor Dayton’s Office of Justice Programs chose to send grant money elsewhere. Grant applications are part of a competitive bid process, and selections are made by Gov-ernor Dayton’s staff – not the Legislature or any individual lawmaker. Further, Grehl mentions his frustration with spending $500 million on a Vikings stadium. Let’s remember, a Vikings sta-dium was Governor Dayton’s top priority last year – not mine. While I was trying to prioritize rural schools, nursing homes, job creation, and lowering your tax rates, the Governor was off schmoozing with the Wilf ’s in hopes of sealing the deal. And speaking of Governor Dayton’s selection process, I’m sure Mr. Grehl is now fuming that Dayton spent $25 mil-lion just last week on another new stadium. This new ballpark goes to the St. Paul Saints – raise your hand if you’ve heard of or care about that team – while rural Minnesota’s needs continue to be ignored. It’s unfortunate Mr. Grehl didn’t seek out the real facts before penning his letter. Gov-ernor Dayton is infatuated with professional sports teams and giving them new stadiums. But as your state representa-tive, I will continue fighting to improve our schools, our econ-omy, and making Minnesota a better place to live and work.

Sincerely,State Representative

Letter about Voter ID amendment

To the Editor, Please join with me to oppose the Voter ID amendment. AARP Minnesota opposes this amendment because many seniors in assisted living and nursing facilities do not have up-to-date photo identification cards. If residents have photo IDs, they usually have the address from their former home. Currently, nursing home staff can vouch that residents do live there. Other states with Voter ID laws have made exceptions for nursing homes, but the cur-rent proposed amendment does not. If I were living in a nursing home because I couldn’t walk or see, I would still want to vote. Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities, the service arms of our churches, also oppose the photo ID amend-ment. They work with very poor people who move around a lot for various reasons, who rarely have photo IDs with their cur-rent address. The problem is that in their current chaotic lives, their birth certificates may be lost, and paying to get one so they can get a Voter ID card so they can vote is too much work and too much money. Another problem is the dis-tance to the county courthouse to get a voter ID. Residents of Finland, Minnesota have a polling place in town, but to get a current ID they must travel 80 miles to their court-house, not an easy trip for frail elderly voters. Let’s preserve the right of seniors and poor people to vote. If a new amendment preserving absentee voting and making exceptions for nursing homes is put forward in two years, I might vote for it. But this amendment is unacceptable. Please join me in voting no to the Voter ID amendment.

Letter about electionTo the Editor, First Things First. In a recent Commentary a read-er listed topics associated with this campaign cycle. The writer then suggested that only Presi-dent Obama has the wisdom and compassion needed to change the status quo. While reading I felt like a spec-tator at a sporting event where one side cheers wildly when a point is scored and intermittently jeers and verbally jabs at the opposition. That both sides engage in such behavior only proves the point that many of us are so busy scor-ing points and trying to damage the opposing side that we spend little intellect or energy consider-ing serious issues. To illustrate, the claim that millionaires and billionaires should pay their fair share may cause some damage to the opposition but even a 100 percent wealth tax does nothing to resolve our debt issues. This is not a serious solution. The most fundamental issue today concerns how we can con-tinue to exist. If we continue bor-rowing to fund all of our great ideas we will cease to exist and none of us will have made a lasting difference for anyone – except for our children and theirs who will inherit our mess. As we sort through campaign rhetoric: We must agree on specif-ics addressing how to restore our national fiscal sanity; and, we must select leaders that can deliver suc-cess. Both the President and Mr. Romney have track records. These document their achievements and success or lack thereof in bringing opposing sides to a common posi-tion. If we’re serious about this stuff, we must ignore sound-bites and discover for ourselves which of the two can best complete our financial turn-around. Our first task is economic self-preservation. For now all else must be secondary since if we don’t economically survive our unful-filled dreams will be permanently unfulfilled.

Letter about Voter IDTo the Editor, Voter ID A Simple Thing? The Voter Restriction Amend-ment is not a simple thing at all. It changes Minnesota’s election process which currently works. Local governments would need to raise property taxes to pay for it because it was passed without detail or price tag. Estimates range from $4.5 million to $84 million! It creates obstacles for eligible Minnesota voters, many of whom have legally voted for years: senior citizens; military men and women; those who have recently moved. It would

CARE-PAC, the political action committee for Care Providers of Minnesota, recently endorsed Gregory Davids for re-election to the House of Representatives in District 28B. Davids’s support and interest in long-term care was the primary reason he earned the CARE-PAC endorsement. “Our dedicated long-term care professionals are proud to support Gregory Davids,” said Patti Cul-len, president and CEO of Care Providers of Minnesota. “Repre-sentative Davids understands our state’s long-term care issues and he has a deep commitment to maintaining Minnesota’s reputa-tion for high-quality long-term health care.” Cullen stated that the greatest threat facing Minnesota’s long-term care community today revolves around the continued Medicaid funding crisis. “Over the past four years, nurs-ing home rates have been frozen. Minnesota law does not allow nursing homes to charge private pay residents anything above the Medicaid rate, so in effect the state dictates what we can charge (called rate equalization). Addi-tionally over the past four years, between legislative and admin-istrative cuts, there have been double-digit decreases to the rates that Medicaid will pay for services needed by seniors and people with disabilities in assisted liv-ing settings,” commented Cullen. “We are at a crisis point in our state and we need renewed state

investment so we can continue to provide quality care to the ‘greatest generation.’ “We look forward to continu-ing to work with Representative Davids in finding solutions to this grave situation.” Established in 1947, Care Pro-viders if Minnesota represents over 600 proprietary, non-profit, and government-owned provid-ers of long-term care including nursing facilities, housing with services, assisted living, foster care, home care, and hospice. Our membership includes pro-viders ranging in size from three bed to 500; and includes over 100 business partners who actively support the Association and its members.

Fillmore County SportsAmy’s Milestone By Paul Trende The volleyball term “kill,” bro-ken down, is a consonant fol-lowed by a vowel, and then the same consonant twice. It’s only a coincidence the last name Todd is the same way. In R-P volleyball circles this season (especially), the two have been virtually syn-onymous. If there’s a Trojan kill,

odds are 5’9” senior everywhere-hitter Amy Todd authored it. She’s slammed home a bunch this season (in her career). In Plainview, late in set #1, Todd took a pass from cousin Savannah Skalet and hammered the ball off a Bulldog block out of bounds; kill number 1,000. She becomes only the second

R-P player to attain the mile-stone, joining former teammate Kenzie Lind. They did it in slightly different ways. Kenzie was finesse and power. Todd is 5-foot 9-inches of bundled up energy and power, ready to explode up, and swing hard, from a variety of different spots and angles. She’s listed as a mid-dle hitter, but she attacks from everywhere. She has to be well-versed offensively. As R-P’s best

hitter, and one of the best in the Three Rivers conference, teams definitely gear up to stop her, including PEM. Kill number 1,000 was against a double-block. The Bulldogs sometimes sent three defenders. The Todd formula (as in, set her up often) has R-P off to a 10-4 start to the season, a 3-0 week (a 3-0 downing of PEM). They’re on their way to finishing in the vicinity of last year’s school record win total of 21. That recent success is directly tied to Todd’s overall on-court abilities. The two are definitely not coin-cidences. It’s also not a coinci-dence, after reaching the 1,000 kill milestone, Amy Todd is the FCJ Athlete of the Week (top-ping Lanesboro’s Niko Ander-son; see “Get Real”).

Get Real If one were to say that Niko Anderson gained 144 yards on 11 carries and scored 2 TDs in a football game, it wouldn’t be a surprise. Niko is a talented running back. If one were to say Garret Boggs had 5 carries for 122 yards and 2 TDs, Burro fans would be happy to see Niko have a sidekick. If one were to say Mabel-Canton tailback Hunter Johnson amassed 229 yards on 15 carries and scored 4 TDs, one would say, Hunter has been a big offensive bright

spot for the Cougar’s amidst a win-less start to the season. If one would say Lanesboro out-scored Mabel-Canton 44-32 in a 9-man score-fest of long-time SEC rivals, one would say, that figures. All of that happened. It hap-pened, though, with a disclaim-er. It happened in one half of play. At the break, the teams had combined to roll up 760 yards and score 76 points. In the 2nd half, things got more realistic. The Burros used a couple 3rd quarter scores to build a 58-32 lead. Turnovers were then M-C’s demise (four in the 2nd half plus a blocked punt). The score-board’s lights flickered often in a 72-39 Burro win. Anderson (19 carries, 232 yards, 4 TDs, plus the play-of-the-game, a scintil-lating fingertip-juggling 70-yard TD reception) led the way, with an assist from Boggs (8 carries, 143 yards, 2 TDs rushing, one and three two-pointers passing). Daulton Gartner, Gabe Decker, and Will Semmen got in on the detonation (TD runs of 35, 57, and 57 respectively). Lanesboro had scoring plays of 48, 57, 35, 64, 30, 70, 33, 35, 19, and 57 yards. Johnson led M-C (23 carries, 242 yards, 4 TDs). Colin O’Bieglo hit Don-nie Lind from 26-yards away

for a score. Sophomore Keyser Wenthold sped 81 yards to pay-dirt on a kick-return for the final Cougar tally. Lanesboro is 1-1 (2-1 overall), M-C falls to 0-2, 0-3 overall.Fruechte, Lange, Enough Said Usually, when volleyball pow-ers Caledonia and Mabel-Can-ton meet up, it’s a competitive affair. The squads have met in the regular season the past four years. Caledonia has won two (3-2 in 2008, 3-1 in 2011). M-C has won two (3-1 in 2009, 3-2 in 2010). Given the rank-ings of each squad (Caledonia #8 in AA, M-C #9 in A), the talent, 2012’s meeting looked to be a battle. It ended up being the first of the Warrior-Cou-gar series that wasn’t. One play summed things up. In the third set, an M-C serve was sent short and to the right Caledonia’s defense. Maria Fruechte dove to receive it, stav-ing off an ace. Taylor Winjum accepted the (pretty darn good) pass (considering the difficulty). She set it back into the air, to an already-on-her-feet-and-ready-to-attack Fruechte. The 5’10” senior super-hitter emphatically slammed down a point, having gone from diving to her knees and elbows, to ascending to 9-plus feet in the air, in the blink of an eye. That’s what Fruechte (13 kills, 8 blocks), and 6’2” senior teammate Emma Lange (18 kills, 6 aces), offered all night long: great volleyball ath-leticism. Both will have a shot at the next level. With an assisting Winjum (32 times), the War-riors defeated M-C 3-0 (25-16, 25-16, 25-14). Belle Sand was a smaller version of Fruechte/Lange, tallying 14 kills (9 digs) for the Coug’s. Carly McCabe (23 assists) and Christine Lee

(12 digs) were M-C’s other sta-tistical leaders. It’s the Coug’s first loss. They entered having won 23 of 23 sets played.

limit on the number of active mines was appreciated. Bakke said the eight could be in a row, so the limitation would not prevent clustering. Findings of fact could limit the size of a cluster due to road traffic in an area. Bakke said it just about always comes back to road use. Ron Garrison, geologist from Milestone Materials, added that the number one determinant as to whether there could be a clus-ter is geology or sand availability. Graves suggested Bakke’s lan-guage limiting the number of active mines be added to 736.07 as number 5.

MININGContinued from Page 3

Washing Prohibited A discussion ensued when it was noted that under 736.04 Prohibit-ed Activity there was a prohibition of washing with water and the use of chemicals or flocculants. Screen-ing and sorting at the mining site will be allowed. Larry Thompson, Reilly Con-struction, complained that the pro-hibition of washing at the site will increase truck traffic as 30 to 40 percent is removed in the washing process. This material would have to be trucked back to be used for reclamation. Swanson insisted it shouldn’t increase truck traffic as the trucks hauling to the process-ing site have to come back. The DNR manages water appro-priation at the state level. Williams

argued that the DNR is not a sufficient source to regulate water as state standards don’t exist. Tara Wetzel, Mathy Construction, main-tained large water volume permits from the DNR are the hardest to get. Committee member Donna Rasmussen said the SWCD can review water appropriation permits and comment on them. Enough comments can cause the DNR to seek further information. Williams said the prohibition on washing on the mining site is also about not industrializing the Ag District. Rita Leduc insisted the extent of the Jordan aquifer is not known. It bothers her that the ordinance language allows sand mining to be within 10 feet of the water table, as sand is a good filter. She reported that in Wisconsin certain herbicides have shown up in the water supply in the central sands region. Leduc declared we

“can’t live without water.” Numer-ous people expressed their support for the prohibition of washing with water. A motion to move Ordinance 736 to the Planning Commission was approved with the additional language limiting the number of active mines at a time within the county. The Planning Commission will further discuss and refine the language before a public hearing is scheduled. Committee chairman Tom Kaase said the work of the com-mittee along with the input from citizens attending has helped us become more educated on this subject.

Cris Gastner, Community and Business Development Specialist from CEDA and Fillmore County EDA Office, reported on in-formation he had gathered as to effects of industrial sand mining on economic development in Wisconsin communities.

By Mitchell Walbridge With another school year back in session, Chatfield School Board members met on Septem-ber 17 to see how students are approaching the new academic year. Both Principals Craig Ihrke and Randy Paulson were present to give insight. Irhke and Paulson had coin-ciding messages to bring to the board that the new school year is off and running well. In these first few weeks both the elementary and high school have been getting components such as fire and bus safety refreshed in the minds of both students and staff members. Chatfield High School is once again implementing the SMART Goals program which will be fully operational by the beginning of October. Elementary Principal Craig Ihrke reiterated the impor-tance of the 100 Book Challenge and stressed that at least one parent should attend the parent evening on September 25. This will encourage both reading at home and parents to become “at home coaches” to their children’s reading literacy development. Community Education Direc-tor LuAnn Klevan also addressed the board Monday night on the district’s pre-school program. This year the pre-school program is offered in a newly formed, full day setting. Of the 93 pre-

school age children attending Chatfield, 40 have opted to do the full day program. Klevan stated that this will help the students by creating fewer transi-tions for the children in addition to getting more accustomed to the school’s atmosphere. Finally, Klevan mentioned that the mis-sion statements and objectives for the community education department will be analyzed to make sure that they are relevant and updated to current needs and goals. Superintendent Ed Harris mentioned some financial infor-mation dealing with the dis-trict’s preliminary levy for the fiscal year 2013. It will be nearly unchanged from last year. Also, the 2012 budget is expected to come within one percent of pro-jected expenditures. He gave rec-ognition to Carol Lyon crediting her for all of her work on the budget. To conclude the meeting the board hired contracts for Kate Kennedy as a high school para-professional. Also, contracts were approved for Pauline Schriever and Paula Jobes to share the school nurse position for this school year. Finally, Hammell Equipment had a bid accepted for the next two years for snow removal. The next meeting is set for October 15, 2012.

Ever dream you’d star in a moving picture show? Here’s your chance to be part of a fairytale-come: the 2013 Silent Movie project. This fantasy volunteer proj-ect got started this year in Lanesboro, Minnesota, a place where people work together to make things happen. When Lanesboro Community Theater members developed a plan in August to produce an all-local silent movie that would air over Taste of the Trail Towns week-end, September 8-9, they put out a call for actors needed to bring the fairytale retelling con-cept to life. The silent, subtitled video of transformed fairytales would be a family-friendly production, shown outdoors on warm eve-nings at Sylvan Park and would be called “Silent Movie in the Park – After Dark!” “In less than 4 days, we had a cast of almost sixty eager vol-unteers,” said director Barbara Benson Keith. Local people and weekend guests came forward to act out a variety of humor-

ous and creative roles – rang-ing from townspeople trying to crack the mystery of Rum-pelstiltskin’s name, to a suc-cession of princes chopping their way through brambles to break Sleeping Beauty’s spell, from fairytale royalty to a troll beneath a bridge. What made the 2012 produc-tion uniquely attractive to so many volunteers? Perhaps the fact that it was a silent film. Producer Sandy Webb noted, “Volunteers felt free to explore their very own original ways to portray their characters, know-ing the film would be edited by a kind eye.” Many participants echoed Kay Wold’s comment, “It was so much fun!” On the nights of the screen-ings, fifteen more volunteers stepped forward to set up equip-ment, to make and sell pop-corn and treats, and to ensure that all aspects of the show went smoothly. As dusk set in, a legion of local moviegoers arrived at Lanesboro’s Sylvan Park with their blankets and lawn chairs. Individuals and

Calling all silent movie stars: Join the volunteer spirit that thrives in Lanesboroclusters of friends, couples on date-night, families with kids in footy pajamas. Ready to see what was all the buzz was about. And, still, the volunteers kept coming! Yet another dozen musicians, magicians, dancers and vocalists donated time and talent to create preshow enter-tainment. Then the once-upon-a-time movies began. Parents whispered the silent movie screen titles to their too-young-to-read children. Neighbors thrilled to identify one another in their roles on the screen. Audience members laughed along with the actors. Yes! This is the kind of thing that can happen in a com-munity like Lanesboro where people work together to play! Before the night was out, Lanesboro Community The-ater already had a strong list of volunteers committing to help with Silent Movie 2013. And there’s still room for more act-ing and off-camera volunteers to join the fun next September. To add your name, visit Lanesboro Community Theater’s Facebook page.

LANESBORO, MN- Lanesboro Local is putting on a harvest celebration and fund-raiser, and the public is invited. Echoing the classic Stone Soup folktale about how a hungry community made a luscious soup when everybody contrib-uted just a little something to

the pot, participants are invited to bring some chopped veg-etables to toss into the steaming cauldron of savory broth. Bring tomatoes, onions, herbs, car-rots- whatever is fresh- to Sylvan Park in Lanesboro on Saturday, September 29 from 4-7 PM. A delicious soup supper with

Stone Soup Supper to celebrate Lanesboro Localbread and dessert will be served. Lanesboro Local is a nonprofit organization that strives to help a wide community of people throughout the region build a sense of community. The year-round retail Marketplace pro-vides access to locally produced foods and artisan products at 207 Parkway Avenue N. in Lanesboro, across from the the-aters. Local doesn’t just mean Lanesboro; producers and shop-pers from all over the region benefit from a permanent store featuring regional products. Whether you produce food and artisan items, or love to purchase what you need from neighbors, or someone who just loves a great harvest celebration, you are welcome to participate in the Stone Soup Supper. While the soup simmers, there

will be live music, a dramat-ic re-enactment of the Stone Soup story, and stone games for the whole family. You can build stone cairns, toss or skip stones, and do a little stone step-ping. Meet local producers, and learn about accomplishments and future hopes for Lanesboro Local.

This event will raise funds to keep Lanesboro Local running strong through the winter sea-son. Suggested donation is $20 for adults and $5 for kids. Soup ingredients must be added by 4:15, and at 5:30 soup will be served to all, with bread, bever-ages and dessert. In case of rain, the celebration will go on in the gazebo.

best possible outcome.” Klaehn’s logo, a square peg in a round hole, fits her personal-ity well. The stereotypical image of a stuffy, boring accountant crunching numbers all day is not what you will find when you meet her, as she likes to help out on the farm, and she and her husband enjoy riding their Harley Davidson motorcycles. The tax laws change every year, so Klaehn has to be on her toes and update her knowledge all the time. She has to take 120 credits every three years to maintain her Certified Public Accountant license. With the changes come the challenges of finding new and creative ways to make sure her clients get the best possible experience from what can be a stressful time for everyone. The office is open Tues-day through Thursday from 9am-3pm, and other times by appointment. Klaehn can be reached at 507-765-3696 or 507-438-1837.

Comic Drama: Alison Bechdel’s Are You

My Mother? To appropriately honor an under-recognized but salient national holiday: Comic Book Day on September 25, I offer this week Alison Bech-del’s new (2012) graphic memoir Are You My Moth-er? I have never much enjoyed comic books, or their higher-brow equivalent, graphic novels. A sequel to her prior memoir about her father, Fun Home, Are You My Mother? not to be confused with the 1960 children’s book with the same

name, though strongly reso-nant with its theme, was an unexpected delight. Alison Bechdel uses non-linear, episodic chronology to

tell the story of how her mother’s invis-ible hand has guided her cre-ative work. I use “invisible hand” purpose-fully appro-priating Adam Smith’s meta-phor which describes the self-regulating behavior of the market econ-

omy because it underscores the tension in Bechdel’s account. How much of the self is autonomous and

inherent? How much has been shaped and set in motion by circumstances and parental inputs during childhood and adolescence? The book is infused with apt snippets from Virginia Woolf ’s To the Lighthouse and diaries, summaries of key points made by psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud, Donald Winnicott, and Alice Miller, among other blurbs from various develop-ment theories. Through it all, Bechdel asks how the self copes with, or self-regulates, the competing inf luences. How does attachment to others delimit the self ’s perimeter? The trouble with telling the story of self is that selfhood goes like a frayed and frizzed braid. There are split ends and strange loops. It would mar and belie the portrayal to attempt a self telling in the lin-ear, because, Bechdel reveals, we don’t develop self until we

can see it, and the seeing of ourselves, the glimpses in the mirror, seem to happen out of sequence. Besides, this book, with strict chronology, would be as interesting as cornrows. So Bechdel shapes the chap-ters around thematic nodes such as “True and False Self,” “Mind,” “Hate.” She volleys backward and forward in time following the episodic chro-nology of self-discovery along these nodes. “The story has no end,” she admits at the end, “but now it’s five years later, and I must manufacture one.” However, where sequence is relevant, she orients the reader with tactful clarity, “I had the spiderweb dream two years after the one about the brook, and immediately after starting to read Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams” (42). She tightly controls the way the reader will interpret the significance of sequence. In this way, we understand that the “truth” has been “manufactured.” But it is not cheap. Her overly pro-cessed scenes (far from organ-ic) are rife with significance so that thankfully we don’t have to sort through cluttered pages like the thrift bin at Goodwill. In Bechdel’s shelved and well-lit account, as in a high end boutique, the fine goods are on display.

Pictures, The Story Of Our Lives

Summer is winding down the road into fall. Our first pear tree is ripe, delicious picked fresh off the tree for lunch, or gathered as windfalls to make jams, pear tarts and wine. The family of hummingbirds in our yard will soon migrate, though now they keep me company visiting the feeders attached to the dining room window and on the patio, as I pen this column. Tomatoes are ripe and juicy, gracing the table in slices, as fresh salsa, in guacamole, or BLTs. Numer-ous quarts have been frozen, and now the temperatures have dropped enough to make roast-ed pasta sauce in the oven for future chile, enchiladas, and a healthy version of Beef Bour-guinon. Our new Maple trees are tinged with red, pretty as a picture. Speaking of pictures, photos tell the story of our lives visual-ly, but often leave us asking for more. My sister Sharon recently visited from Bell Buckle, Ten-nessee. We were poring over family photos, trying to figure out the context and the period they were taken. We unearthed a photo taken in 1940 of our impossibly young mom, clad in whoopee pants and her sister, Mary in shorts. They looked young and carefree. We deter-mined their ages as 22 and 12. I wondered what the story was behind this picture and made a note to ask my Aunt Mary the next time I talk to her. One of my favorite pictures is of our daughter, who had just

turned nine. She wore a jaunty baseball cap, and a huge grin as she held up the string of fish she’d caught with her new fishing rod. I have to smile as I remember her excitement at catching the most fish from the boat, the snapping turtle our son caught from the dock, and the excitement of try-ing to move it away from the swimming area and waterslide. At night we sat around the campfire and roasted hotdogs and S’mores with Ritz crack-ers, as we had forgotten the graham crackers. Our daughter glanced up from the campfire and exclaimed over the “Kitty” she spotted nearby. After we realized the Kitty was black and white striped, we hast-ily retreated into the cabin, leaving the crackers behind. The next day the Ritz had all disappeared from their wrap-pings and we could see a fellow camper in the distance, wash-ing his dog in the lake with tomato juice. Another favorite photo shows our children with their pet chicken, Peep, the bird of nine lives. Handed out to the kinder-gartners, the baby chick soon imprinted on our children as part of the flock. Peep followed our four-year-old daughter everywhere, tucking her head cutely into Gina shoulder for a nap. In the garden she’d choose a tasty worm and run around as though in competition with a dozen chickens for her prize. After more than a few mishaps, she grew into a lovely brown

bird, and posed with our son for a family picture. Eventually, we gave her to a farm family and one day the farmer’s wife appeared on our doorstep, with a dozen of Peep’s tasty brown eggs. We have many photos of our visits to Florida to see my mother, who wintered there. However, mom told my favor-ite story often, of the early morning a very young Gina crawled into bed with her. Lift-ing grandma’s closed eyelids, she said, “Mimi, I have to tell you the story of Gordy Rocks and the Free Bears.” Another picture of our chil-dren shows them holding one of their pet rabbits we raised, brought as babies to their class-es, and showed at the county fair as a 4-H project. Recently, granddaughter Nat-alie, eight, came for visit. First, she helped pick a bag of her dad’s favorite purple plums to take home, cherry tomatoes and raspberries. Then I showed her how to work with watercol-ors and she created a picture with her new set of watercolors sticks. After lunch, including the apple she’d picked earlier, she chose any flower she wished to take home. I recorded all of these activities with pho-tos, and soon we will decorate scrapbook pages of our fun day for a memory later, with stories included I feel sad when viewing pho-tos taken showing people of another era, with no notations about them. I would love to hear the narrative of their lives. Did they dress in all their fin-ery for the photos taken by a photographer? What are their stories, passed on verbally, but never written down? It is a reminder to record the stories of our families to include with the visual memories we cherish.

The Best BLTs

Take two slices of your favorite bread (we prefer seven grain) and smear basil pesto on one slice and mayonnaise on the other. Add slices of tomato, preferably Brandywine, slices of thick bacon, (we like bacon from Oak Meadow Meats), slices of red pepper instead of lettuce, and slices of avocado, though the last is optional. Enjoy!

A Great Read!

By Jade Sexton Lanesboro High School Prin-cipal Brett Clarke spoke to the school board during their regu-lar meeting on September 20, 2012. He updated them on the new laptops students in grades 9-12 had received at the begin-ning of the school year as part of a new program. Clarke said there were a few bumps in the beginning, but the experience has been positive so far. According to Clarke, the students and teachers have all been patient and supportive of the new technology, and it has already benefited the students in ways that even he never imagined. “We’re looking to lighten the backpack for students, and we’ve done so already more than I thought we would in the

first month,” said Clarke. The students already have a textbook on their computers that they don’t have to carry around. Chairmen Dave Ruen asked if one of the computers could be available at parent-teacher conferences so parents of students who don’t have one yet can look at them, and Clarke said that would not be a problem. Clarke also showed the board the Annual Report on Curriculum and Instruction, which will be posted on the school’s website. In the report there are graphs that show how the Lanesboro students did on the MCA (Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment) tests. There are also compari-sons to the state averages, and Lanesboro’s scores were above those. Overall, math was the weak-est, which is true statewide as well. The state average is 50 percent passing the math test. Clarke explained Lanes-boro’s strongest subject is read-ing, with 100 percent of tenth graders passing the reading test last year.

FFA Dairy Team The board officially con-gratulated and recognized the FFA Dairy Judging Team. Since they won 2nd place at the State Competition, they were able to attend the Eastern

Lanesboro School Board hears annual report on curriculum

Nationals at Harrisburg, Penn-sylvania, where they won first place. The team, which consisted of Hailey Leiding, Kayla Leiding, Jared Troendle, and Travis Tro-endle, blew the competition away, as the second place team had 137 points less than they did. Superintendent Jeff Boggs said he was told that was like a football team winning a game 100-0. And since they won sec-ond place in state and not first place, they are eligible to go to state again next year.

Other business The board approved the pre-liminary levy at $436,716.76. The final will be set in Decem-ber. The board also approved sev-eral personnel contracts. The October meeting was changed to Tuesday, October 16 at 7pm due the MEA holi-day.

were no opposing comments and one neighbor in favor. The variance was approved by the city council. Shawn Severson, Main Street SW, requested a variance to build a 27 by 27 foot addition to his house with a setback of 13 feet to the east. The ordinance requires a 15 foot setback. His existing home is 13 feet from the property line. Hoffman noted the property is zoned R3, if it were zoned R2, the setback requirement would be 10 feet. Planning and Zon-ing held a public hearing. There was no objection to the variance. The variance was approved. A resolution was passed to again participate in the Office of Traffic Safety Safe and Sober campaign. The Preston Police Department has participated for about 10 years. The program provides grant funds to pay overtime for DUI, seatbelt and speeding enforcement.

A resolution was adopted to vacate this section of Farmers Street West with the additional language that the city would retain easements. The property owners involved with both street vacations will have surveys prepared for the vacated areas. A variance was granted for Jerome O’Connor, Preston Street NW, to build an addition to his garage with a side set-back of zero feet. The ordinance requires four feet. The 24 by 26 foot addition will be up to the property line, just as the current garage is. Planning and Zoning had a public hearing at which there

It is also the time of the year when we start hearing about preconditioning calves and how important that is to adding value to your calves. What exactly is precondi-tioning? Currently this term is used loosely throughout the cattle industry, but what does it mean?

Preconditioning as a manage-ment program is designed to prepare calves to move through the high stress time of weaning from the cow to the next stage of their life. This is a critical time for calves as it has histori-cally been the highest risk time for sickness. With the high price of calves and high input costs on the feed side cattle buyers desire cattle that will go to work at the feed bunk and stay out of the sick pen. The basis for any precondi-tioning program is to plan vacci-nations, processing procedures, and nutrition changes prior to the stress of weaning, with the goal of preventing illness during and after the weaning period. The goal of vaccination is to induce an immune response in calves prior to the exposure to common diseases associated with weaning, commingling,

Preconditioning? and transportation. In order to maximize the immune response vaccines must be adminis-tered appropriately. Appropri-ate administration of vaccines includes keeping them out of direct sunlight, vaccines should be kept cool on warm days and not frozen on cold days, using the correct dose, administer-ing by correct route, giving a booster if using killed vaccines, and using cattle handling prac-tices that reduce the stress on the calves. Vaccines should be given at least two weeks and not more than six weeks prior to weaning; depending on your program this may include a second round of shots 2-6 weeks following the first. Typical processing such as cas-tration, dehorning, and deworm-ing can add up to become very stressful to a calf. Doing these procedures prior to weaning so that calves can be healed is desir-able and can greatly reduce the amount of stress a calf endures

Jerrold Tesmer

at weaning. Treating for internal and external parasites has a great benefit for the calf as parasites can greatly reduce the immune status of a calf as well as steal important nutritional resources. One of the greatest changes a calf goes through at the time of weaning is the reliance on their mother’s milk and grass to a processed feed. These changes often accompany a change in environment and location. Any-thing that can be done to pre-pare calves for this change such as lowered feed bunks to allow access with cows, and water tank access will help calves recognize where and what feed and water is. This will allow calves to start on feed sooner after weaning and reduce the depressed feed intakes associated with weaning. This is where backgrounded calves that are bunk broke for a minimum of 45 days have an advantage from a marketing standpoint. Vaccinations, processing pro-cedures and parasite control

needs may vary from herd to herd and effective nutrition pro-gram will enhance calf perfor-mance and get cattle adjusted to a drylot quickly. Consult your veterinarian for help in develop-ing a specific preconditioning program tailored to your opera-tion. Capturing value is the ultimate goal for these programs and that entails communicating what you have done to buyers, working on developing a marketing program will help ensure you gain the most value for your calves and your management.

4H at the State Fair By Austen Whitacre 4-H is a national organization for youth who want to learn leadership and life skills. The youth that participate can choose a lot of different project areas to be a part of. After talking with Travis Troendle at the state fair he explained what it was like to be at the fair. Travis shows dairy cows for Fillmore County. When asked about 4-H he said, “I have been in 4-H for seven years and it has been a great experience.

In my seven years I have learned many things like leadership and speaking skills.” Kids in 4-H take great pride in the work they do with animals. It takes a lot of hard work and there is no time for relaxing until everything is done. Travis had this to say: “This year I brought my dairy cow to the fair. Tak-ing care of my cow has taught me what it means to work hard. When I am getting ready for the fair I have a lot of things to do. I

have to train my animal so they will behave. I will also have to wash, feed, and walk my cow. I think more people should join 4-H, anyone can join and even if you’re too old to be a part of the youth you can still do the adult positions. If you asked me what 4-H was about, I would have to say it’s about learning as much as possible and meeting a lot of new people.”

Lien ReLeaSe CaRd?When you purchase a vehicle you may have to finance all or part of the purchase lien holder. if this is the case the title will come with you listed as the owner and the lending institution as the lien holder. The lending institution will get a lien release card (which looks like a recipe card) and will keep possession of it until your loan is paid in full. They will then give it to you attach to the title to show that the vehicle has no money borrowed against it and is free to sell. if for some reason, the card is lost the lending institution can type up a paper which must be witnessed and stamped by a notary public. So, if you are looking to purchase a car from a private party, take a look at the title and check for a lien, and if there is one, make sure the seller has the lien release card.

My engine is hard to start when it’s cold. What’s wrong?

If your engine has a carburetor, the hard starting problem is most likely choke related. If the engine cranks normally and the spark plugs are not worn or dirty, the choke probably needs to be repaired or adjusted. The choke may be set too rich or too lean. Either way can cause hard starting. The bimetal spring inside the choke may be broken or rusty or jammed with dirt. Cleaning with carburetor spray or solvent may help alleviate a sticking problem.On older fuel injected engines, a separate ‘cold start’ injector is used to spray additional fuel into the intake manifold when a cold engine is first started. If this injector is not working, the engine can be hard to start. The injector is controlled by a timer and relay, so if either of these components is defective it can prevent the cold start injector from doing its job too.Slow cranking during cold weather (below freezing) can also be caused by oil that is too thick.

Q: i am producing a brochure for my business. What are some tips for distributing the brochures to the proper place?When you design your brochure be sure to consult a professional printing partner for help in design and composition. With answers to the questions below a reputable printer will be able to design a brochure that will drive people to you. The first thing to identify is who, what and where is your targeted market ; What customers do you want to reach? Are those customers from out of state? Are those customers within a day’s trip of your location? Where will potential customers likely stop in route? How far away do you want to reach out?When you have answered those questions and you have a finished brochure it is time to establish a plan for distribution. As you decide how distribution will take place, keep in mind several key points that a distributor should provide; When will your brochure be delivered? What specific locations will have your brochure? Will there be a regular re-stock of all locations? Will the racks be maintained in a neat and clean condition? Will there be any audit reports on movement? Some quality print shops will offer a distribution service in conjunction with the printing job.Contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

There are 2 kinds of memory in your computer – short-term and long-term. The short-term memory, called RAM, is erased every time your computer is powered down – no data is lost when RAM is erased. The long-term memory is your hard

drive, where your data is stored (Windows operating system, pictures, videos, documents, and other data) for use. That

data is not erased when your computer is powered down. If you’ve had your computer for a while, you may notice slow-

downs. Upgrading your RAM is a great way to speed up your computer, and it only takes minutes. MCS doesn’t charge to install RAM upgrades!! Hard drive upgrades are a little more time-consuming, but are well worth the cost. MCS can make

an exact copy of your data to another, larger hard drive in just minutes, adding more storage and value to your computer.

Do you want your yard to be the envy of the neighborhood next spring? Make it happen by filling your yard with gorgeous spring-blooming bulbs that you plant now!• Have a Design plan. Seek a design professional to help you create a specific look and color combination. • Select quality bulbs. Look for big, plump and firm bulbs. Not soft, mushy or moldy. • Pick the right spot. Give them good soil rich in organic matter. Most bulbs do best in full sun, at least 6 hours per day, and well-drained soil. • Plant them correctly. Generally, dig a hole two-three times deeper than the bulb is tall. Plant pointy side up. Space according to directions. • Water well. This will eliminate air pockets in the soil and encourage establishing root growth. • Protect your investment. Spread a layer of mulch or use mesh chicken wire to hide your bulb holes from critters.

When is the time to Plant Daffodils and other Spring Bulbs?

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

I have a will I did years ago and need to make changes. Can I just cross out the old parts and write in what I want now? Once you do a will, circumstances can change. The person you

wanted to be your executor twenty years ago may not be the

person you want to do it now. You may want to change who

gets your estate or you may have sold land you described in

your will. There are many reasons you might need to change

your will. However, you can’t just scratch out the old stuff

and write in the new. Under Minnesota Statute, wills must be

signed and witnessed by two people. In order to ensure clarity

in making changes and to ensure that will requirements are

followed, any changes you make should be done through a

document that the probate court and estate planners call a

codicil. A codicil is a document that formally amends a will

and follows the formalities, such as signing and having two

witnesses, of a will. If it’s been a while since you did your will,

our office can help you make sure you amend it properly, so

that it meets your needs now.

“i don’t know” is no longer acceptable

Okay, maybe that’s a little over the top, but it’s probably not far off. Today, most people have access to the single largest collection of human knowledge ever to exist and it grows every day. Each day that passes, more information gets added and continues to expand the breadth and depth of that pool. That pool is the Internet.The Internet can answer nearly any question you have, but very few use it to the fullest potential. Reasons can vary but mostly it’s because many people don’t realize the actual simplicity behind asking your question in a search en-gine. It’s probably reasonable to say that eventually “Googling your question” might be considered a general skill that everyone should have and those who can’t could be at a severe disadvantage. Here are a few examples of what I mean about asking questions using a variety of Internet tools. Even if your question is ambiguous, there’s a good chance it’s been asked before. “I don’t know how to change my car tire.” Using yahoo.com - How to change a flat tire - Video: How to Change a Flat Tire (ehow.com) or “I wonder how many drops of water are in a gallon?” Using wolframalpha.com - How many drops of water are in one gallon? - 75,700 metric drops (wolframalpha.com)The list of questions you can ask are endless and most are simple to ask, ranging from “Basic emergency first-aid that everyone should know” to “How to safely evacuate your house in a fire emergency” to “What brand of shoe does Justin Bieber wear.” Phrase the question the same way you’d ask another per-son and you should be presented with a matching result. It really is that simple.

The U.S. Small Business Administration reminds hom-eowners, renters, businesses and non-profit organizations in Min-nesota that the deadline to sub-mit disaster loan applications for damages caused by severe storms and flooding on June 14 - 21 is only weeks away. The dead-line to file an SBA disaster loan application for physical damage is Oct. 15, 2012. “I encourage anyone who has not completed their disaster loan application to do so and return it as quickly as possible,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta. Representatives from the Min-nesota Small Business Develop-ment Center are available to

assist anyone who needs assis-tance with their SBA disaster loan application. “Minnesota’s Small Business Development Centers are committed to pro-viding help to the flood victims who are trying to recover from last June’s devastating floods,” said Elaine Hansen, Northeast Minnesota Regional Director, Small Business Development Center. To make an appoint-ment to speak with an SBDC representative, call 218-726-7298. The disaster declaration cov-ers Carlton, Pine and St. Louis counties and Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the adjacent counties of Aitkin, Chisago, Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching and Lake in Min-

nesota; and the adjacent coun-ties of Burnett and Douglas in Wisconsin. Anyone with insured losses should not wait for an insur-ance settlement before applying to the SBA. “If someone does not know how much of their loss will be covered by insur-ance or other sources, the SBA will consider making a loan for the total loss up to its loan lim-its, provided they agree to use insurance proceeds to reduce or repay their SBA loan,” said Skaggs. Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Hom-eowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair

Deadline to apply for Physical Disaster Loans in Minnesota is October 15or replace damaged or destroyed personal property.

By Barb Jeffers A Field Day was held Friday, Sept. 14, 2012, at Simon Farms near Harmony, Minn. from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with owner Josh Simon on hand shar-ing his experiences with visitors. The Field Day was sponsored by Crop Production Services (CPS) of Harmony, Minn. and Hammell Equipment. Hammell Equipment has four locations including Chatfield, Rushford, Eitzen, and Harmony, Minn. Eric Hammell of Hammell Equipment stated that the Field Day is “a play day for farm-ers” because they can see and learn about the newest equip-ment. Farmers can also drive the new equipment with a special-

ist giving them the chance to learn techniques and features of the new equipment. All of the equipment and tillage pieces on hand were brand new, giving the farmers examples of what is available to them. Activities for the Field Day included combine harvesting, and a showcase of tillage equip-ment, among others. There were also 5 Case IH Representatives on hand to answer any ques-tions the visitors had. The Case IH equipment that was on hand is available at Hammell Equip-ment locations in Harmony and Chatfield, Minn. Randy Mayer of CPS said that the Field Day “gives farmers a taste of the new equipment.”

Mayer stated that CPS works with farmers to help raise their crops. He further explained “pre-scription farming” which is used at Simon Farms. CPS considers themselves the “Doctor” writ-ing prescriptions for the corn. Every two and a half acres some-thing different is done as far as fertilizer application. Through satellite technology, the farmer knows how much fertilizer (or other substances such as lime) the acreage requires. Josh Simon, of Simon Farms, acknowledged that “the tech-nology is expensive, but, there is a return.” Mr. Simon added that getting used to the new technol-ogy is challenging at first, like learning anything new, but now

Farmers had a field day on September 14 the most difficult thing for him is having to use equipment that does not have this technology. The Field Day was a success

with many farmers talking to each other over a tasty lunch and enjoying looking at the new equipment.

By Austen Whitacre The state fair is known for many things. All the animals,

the great food, the fair even has rides for all ages. So with all this stuff going on, who is making

The MN State Fair media trip sure that every one that isn’t visiting this fair knows what is going on? Well this year, for the first time, the 4-H program has allowed people from each county to be part of the media trip! This media trip is about having the youth learn about what it takes to make a good story. The kids who have volunteered for this trip are working hard all the time. When they aren’t working with the group they are

interviewing livestock members and talking to their local news-papers and radio stations. Even when they are done with that, they are still at the computer fix-ing small things and taking pic-tures for everything. Talking to one of the media trip members led to some great information. Olivia Drehmel had this to say: “I have had a lot of fun with this trip. I wanted to do this because it is my last year in 4-H

and I wanted to get to the state fair one last time. I have been working with three newspapers from my county. The articles I am doing are behind the scene view about the kids in 4-H. I work a lot on my stories. I spend about two hours a day typing and a lot more time taking pictures. This experience has been really good for me. I have learned a lot about journalism and have met so many new people.”

Greenfield Lutheran Church in Harmony will be hosting a festive 100th anniversary cel-ebration of the present church building on Sunday, Septem-ber 30, at the 9:00 a.m. ser-vice. An exciting service is planned,

Greenfield Lutheran Church celebrating 100th anniversary of church building

filled with music, children’s choir, senior choir and a guest pastor, John Lingen, a former pastor of Greenfield. The Rev. Kyle Jackson will also partici-pate in the service. A replica of the original cor-nerstone, which is associated with the Stevens’ families will also be presented. The church will celebrate this historical event, which dates back to their great-grandfather, Torkel Traim, who donated the origi-nal cornerstone. The replica cornerstone will be brought to the church in an old fashioned way – horse and wagon. Following the service, there will be an heritage romme-grot luncheon. The menu will include sandwiches, rom-

megrot, cheese platter, hard boiled eggs, dark bread, cook-ies, lemonade and coffee. The luncheon is free, but donations will be accepted. It took a year to build the church with the original cor-nerstone being set on Septem-ber 29, 1912. The building was completed in August 1913, and the dedication service was held on September 21, 1913. During the upcoming year, there will be other events cel-ebrating the building of the church. The year will conclude with a redidication service on September 22, 2013. All are cordially invited to join the Greenfield congrega-tion as it celebrates this special event.
