While the University of Minnesota Gophers football, mens and women’s basket-ball, and hockey teams didn’t do that well last season, one team of Gophers won a na-tional championship: Goldy the Gopher won the Mascot National Championships, and Luke Arnquist of Hoff-man has a national champi-onship ring to prove it.

Arnquist, a 2006 gradu-ate of West Central Area, tried out for the mascot squad as a sophomore.

“Try outs took several days and were very rigor-ous,” he said.

Possible mascots are first tested physically to find out what shape they are in by seeing how far they can run and how many push ups they can do. Arnquist, a former football player for the Knights, was in good shape so he didn’t have any trouble there.

The next day, possible mascots are auditioned to find out how funny they can be and how quickly they can think on their feet.

“We played charades and had to prepare and perform a one and one-half minute skit, wearing the Goldy suit.”

Arnquist, who played the Cowardy Lion in a WCA production of The Wizard of Oz, might have had a paw up on the competition and got the job.

And make no mistake about it, being Goldy the Gopher is very much a job.

“What does it take to be Goldy? Its simple,” said Arnquist. “You have to love the University of Minnesota.”

Goldy is the U’s biggest fan and shows his winning, bucktooth smile at about 500 events a year, including attending nearly every U of M sporting event.

“Trust me, this is not a job for a fair-weather-fan. I had the pleasure, although not always pleasurable, of being at every single home football game for the past three years, and nearly ev-ery home game for hockey, basketball, volleyball, soc-cer, baseball, softball, track, gymnastics, wrestling, cross country, and more booster club meetings than I care to remember. Since Goldy’s number one job is to sup-port the team, that means that I even had to cheer for Tim Brewster. As any true Minnesotan probably knows,

that wasn’t always easy.” One wonders how Goldie

can make all these person-al appearances, espeically since they are often going on at the same time in different parts of the campus, or even in different cities.

“Let’s just say that ‘of-ficially’ there is only one Goldie,” is all Arnquist is allowed to say.

“Goldy is bigger than the guys who portray him, and we all take that very seriously. That is why all of the members of the Goldy squad remain anonymous while they are on the team. It was always a fun challenge to come up with excuses when people would ask me what sport I played when they saw me in my letter jacket. My favorite excuse was that I was the backup bullpen catcher

for the baseball team.”At the games them-

selves, the biggest thing Goldy does is make sure the fans are having a good time. When its a close game, Goldy is there to keep the fans pumped up. When its a blowout, Goldy’s job is to keep the fans entertained. The more boring the game, the more people will start watching Goldy.

“That’s when you start getting creative with little skits, jokes, and general tom-foolery. My favorite skit I ever performed in the suit was during a football game the first year at TCF Bank Stadium when the Badgers were in town. It was a close game, and we came up with

In September the Grant County Board of Commis-sioners set their preliminary levy for 2012 at $5,645,214, representing a 10.7 percent increase, or $545,882, over the 2011 levy.

This is only the pre-liminary levy, the actual levy will be set in December fol-lowing a Truth in Taxation meeting in late November or early December after Truth in Taxation notices have been sent out. These notices show property tax-payers how the levy will impact them.

County Auditor Chad Van Santen explained that the actual realized increase could be even higher, a 15.06 percent increase, if the state sticks to their plan of no longer issuing Homestead Credits, which were $222,191.35 for 2011. New tax laws that were passed for 2012 do not include payments to local

taxing districts by the State for homestead credits (that reduced the property tax levies for homestead taxpay-ers). These credits are being replaced with a homestead valuation reduction which will reduce the value on which taxes are calculated on homestead parcels.

The county levies prop-erty taxes for three major departments: General Rev-enue, which includes most of the courthouse offices; Road and Bridges, which funds the Grant County Highway Department; and Social Services, which funds the Grant County Social Services Department. The General Revenue levy is increased $257,821, from $3,206,749 in 2011 to $3,464,570 in 2012. In the proposed bud-gets of each department, there is very little increase asked for, and many slight decreases. Nearly all these budget changes are because of negotiated employee step increases, or department salary decreases because of retirements that are not go-ing to be filled at this time.

You can’t help but notice the trellis spanning the sidewalk to the Thorson Memorial Library in Elbow Lake. Titled “Walkway Trellis of Camping Memo-ries,” the arch is made of discarded camping chairs collected over the years by Tipsinah Mounds Camp-ground caretaker Scott Cleveland. It serves its pur-pose in welcoming visitors to the library and a new art exhibit showing inside

titled “Trash to Treasure,” sub-titled “Re-imagining our waste,” which showcases ways to reuse, re-purpose, and upcycle stuff you would normally throw away, into useful items.

For instance: Robin McNamar bought a used sweater and t-shirt from the Bargain Bazaar and made pil-low covers; Kari Hrncir made an entire purse from colorful plastic grocery and shopping bags; Amee Wittbrodt made Teddy bears from and old

A red sunrise, mist on the fi elds, and a still body of water in Elk Lake Township -- isn’t it lovely?

Morning reflection

We all know the old ad-age: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Nevertheless, many parents find themselves short of time or struggling to get their kids to eat a healthful breakfast every morning.

“Whether they’re get-ting ready for school or just a day of play, kids need to eat something in the morning to jump start their metabolism and keep them energized and fo-cused,” says Stacy Stengel, a sports nutritionist. “Oth-erwise their bodies go into starvation mode and start storing fat, which can lead to weight-related problems.”

Here are some fun tips to get your kids to eat well in the morning:

* Example is the only teacher. The best way to get your kids to eat in the morning is to eat with them. Even if it’s just gulping down a bowl of cereal in 10 minutes, eating every morn-ing, preferably while sitting down, will teach your child a life lesson in making healthy living a priority.

* Move up dinner time. The reason breakfast is so critical is because after sleeping eight hours, your body has been deprived of food for 10 to 12 hours. But if your children are eating dinner close to bedtime, they may not be hungry. Try moving dinnertime up by an hour to get your kids hungrier for breakfast.

* Cook with flair. Don’t be afraid to don a chef’s hat and get imaginative. Choose foods that kids find fun but that can be prepared quickly. For example, a product called Batter Blaster lets you squirt pancake bat-ter out of a whipped-cream style can, cutting down on prep time and entertaining kids. Kids can choose from different flavors, such as organic original, double chocolate, buttermilk, and

Fun and easy ways to get kids to eat breakfast

organic whole wheat with brown sugar and cinnamon. For more information, visit <www.BatterBlaster.com>.

* Make faces. Breakfast doesn’t have to be a chore of whole grains and protein. Try being creative, like add-ing food coloring to cereal milk, making faces on kids’ plates or preparing pancakes in fun shapes.

* Think outside the box. Breakfast time doesn’t mean your child has to eat breakfast foods. Healthy is healthy. Let your kids have last night’s pizza or chicken with rice -- the important thing is that they’re getting protein, carbohydrates and

healthy fats. * Eat on the go. While it’s

not ideal, eating on the go can be another way to squeeze some nutritious eating in your child’s life. Cereal with-out milk or granola mix is a great car snack. For children who aren’t very hungry in the morning, try a smoothie of frozen fruit with orange juice or yogurt.

Most of all, don’t stress too much. Kids only need about 500 calories to get them going, and some may eat less in the morning. So long as healthful food is available in the house, they’re sure to get the nutri-tion they need.

Vera Ann (Mielke) John-

son of Wadena, and formerly of Elbow Lake, passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2011, at the age of 85, at her home of 37 years in Wadena.

Funeral services were held on September 27, at St. John Lutheran Church in Wadena with Pastor Stephen Meltzer officiating.

Pallbearers were Zacha-ry Ornelas, Erik Johnson, Neil Johnson, Michael Ornelas, Andrew Stoebig, Benjamin Stoebig, Bennett Johnson, Ty Johnson, and Mikayla John-son. Burial was in Wadena Cemetery.

Vera was born on April 14, 1926 to Ida (Truog) and Edward Mielke in Little Falls, MN. She graduated from Swanville High School and continued her education at Northwestern School of Nursing. On August 14, 1947, Vera Mielke and Robert Bennett Johnson were united in marriage in Minneapolis.

She worked as a nurse in community hospitals while raising their family in Deni-son, Iowa; Wayne, Nebraska; Elbow Lake and Wadena, Min-nesota. In retirement Vera and husband Bob loved to travel around the area and were able to match that love by working for the 2000 U.S. Census and TriState Auto.

Vera lived a life of ser-vice to others demonstrated by her activities in the Tri-

County Hospital Auxiliary, American Legion Auxiliary, VFW Auxiliary, Tri-County Hospital Hospice, Meals on Wheels, LWML, and St. John Lutheran Church.

She found time to pur-sue her interests of golf, travel, reading, knitting, cro-cheting and playing Bridge.

Vera was preceded in death by her husband, Rob-ert; parents, Ida and Edward; brother, Dale; and sister, Genevieve Gallaher.

She is survived by chil-dren, Robert Bennett (Mary) Johnson, Jr. of River Falls, WI, Ann (Humberto) Orne-las of Lakewood, CO, Kurt (Linda) Johnson of Carna-tion, WA, and Kristin (Tom) Stoebig of Plymouth, MN; nine grandchildren; and sister, Betty Cuchna of Little Falls, MN.

Arrangements were with the Johnson Memorial Home in Wadena, <www.johnsonmemorialhome.com>.

Harvest season poses extra danger on roads

The destruction of Democracy

BY SENATOR JOHN MARTYMinnesota Senate

• Our nation’s Founding Fathers would be horrified at what became of the democratic process.

A4

•Quick, think of one of the most dangeous jobs you can have. Farming

probably didn’t pop into your head, but it should have.

Can you imagine?

This summer, there were nine Wisconsin state senate recall elections. For the record, two of the Republicans facing recalls lost, the other Republicans and all the Democrats survived. Setting aside the issues related to those recalls, it is disturbing to see how the “democratic process” worked in these elections. Approximately $35 - $40 million was spent in these nine races, counting money spent by the candidates as well as the “in-dependent expenditures” and election-related “issue ads,” according to the nonpartisan watchdog group, Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. Of that amount, spending by the candidates totaled $5.6 million, only a seventh of the total. Outside groups trying to infl uence the elections spent the remaining $30 to $35 million on top of what they contributed directly to the candidates! That’s a lot of money, averaging about $4 million in each of those legislative races, in campaigns where candidates normally spend thousands of dollars, not millions. Little of that money was used to spell out the candidate’s vision or ideas on how to improve the lives of Wisconsin vot-ers. Instead, it was spent on attack ad followed by attack ad, accusing the other side of ugly things. One State Senator, Alberta Darling, ran ads accusing her Democratic opponent, State Rep. Sandy Pasch, of voting to allow tax money to pay for Viagra for public employees, even though Rep. Pasch didn’t vote to do so, and the Wisconsin As-sembly didn’t even take up the issue. Honesty doesn’t matter. Nor does fairness. Nor does it matter that much of the $4 million spent in each of those senate races came from special interests and individuals who don’t even live in the state, let alone live in those districts. David and Charles Koch, the billionaire businessmen, neither of whom live in Wisconsin, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars through their organization, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), to infl uence the elections. Democracy was clearly not their goal: AFP sent out absentee ballot applications to thousands of households urging people to send in their absentee ballots “by August 11” - two days after the election! A spokesman for AFP claimed that using August 11 instead of 9 was “just a typo,” not an attempt to disenfranchise voters. This is a hostile takeover of our democracy. These wealthy individuals and interest groups have an enormous impact on who runs for offi ce and what issues are raised. Their money is the biggest single determinant of who wins. After the elections, the elected offi cials enact their agenda. Wealthy contributors rule, not the voters. When James Madison and Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers were designing our democracy, they undoubt-edly expected hardball politics, but they could not have intended that corporations, wealthy individuals, and interest groups dump unlimited amounts into campaigns, dwarfi ng any efforts local voters make to choose who governs them. The founding fathers envisioned a vibrant debate encom-passing a broad range of perspectives; a democracy where competing ideas could be brought forth and debated so the people could elect representatives based on their will. But in recent years, the Supreme Court has given corpo-rations and wealthy donors the ability to quash the debate. In a recent case overturning Arizona’s anti-corruption campaign fi nance reforms, Chief Justice John Roberts rejected parts of the law which he said were intended to “level the playing fi eld” by providing more campaign funds to candidates against heavily-funded opponents. Roberts wrote, “in a democracy, campaigning for offi ce is not a game.” I agree that democracy is not a game, but Chief Justice Roberts and the court have created a campaign system that is rigged, whether or not one sees it as a game, so those with the money win. Jefferson and Madison envisioned a democracy in which people - voters - were in charge of their government. They would be horrifi ed to see the billionaire Koch brothers and their corporate allies making plans to spend $88 million to sway the 2012 elections. They would be appalled to see our government for sale to the highest bidder. The founding fathers had a great idea - a government where “we the people” rule. Now that their idea has been corrupted by money, it’s time to amend the constitution - a diffi cult task to be sure, but a necessary one - to restore our democracy and put a “Not for Sale” sign on our government.

To the Editor,

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we all operated like the Vikings? It would be chaos: I almost fi nished my job but then I let someone else try to fi nish the last part of it and they failed, so guess what? I got fi red; I almost got to read the paper but they ran out of ink with just 20 words to go, so guess what? I’m not buying that paper anymore; The construction com-pany that was hired almost fi nished the job but ran out of lumber, so guess what? They hired another construction company. I know this is sarcastic, but I’m trying to fi gure out why the Vikings are called professional football players when there is nothing professional about their efforts. Margaret Chasteen

Statistics show that farmers face a variety of hazards on their job. In fact, last year 23 of the 69-work related deaths in Minnesota were in the ag industry, according to data from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.

And now, during harvest season, farming dangers tick up a few more notches, especially on the roads when equipment is transported and grain is hauled in from the fields. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety reported more than 182,000 people were involved in crashes in the state in 2010. Of those in a crash, 121 were involved in an accident with a tractor or other farm equipment. Those crashes resulted in 19 injuries and two deaths.

To combat the dangers, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is offering tips and advice to ensure all Minnesotans are safe, whether harvesting fields or encountering farm equipment on roadways.

For people living or driving through rural areas:• Be on the lookout for farm equipment.• Slow down when encountering slow moving vehicles.• Wait for a safe place to pass.• Avoid using a cell phone while driving.For farmers:• Make yourself easy to be seen by using your lights and flashers.• Remember it’s Minnesota law to use slow moving vehicle emblems on equipment

traveling less than 30 miles per hour.• Consider using a follow vehicle when moving large equipment on roadways, espe-

cially at night.Equipment safety tips:• Large and powerful equipment can be found all over a farm. This equipment is also

a source of many injuries. By developing a “safety first” attitude and following some basic equipment safety guidelines, you can stay out of harm’s way and set a good example for others.

• Pay attention to all safety information. Read operator’s manual and warning decals.• Inspect the equipment and correct any hazards before operating.• Identify hazardous areas on equipment and make sure you stay away from moving

parts. Beware of pinch points, shear points, wrap points, pull-in areas, thrown objects, crush points, stored energy hazards and freewheeling parts.

• Shut down equipment, turn off the engine, remove key and wait for moving parts to stop before dismounting equipment.

• Keep bystanders and others away from equipment operation area. Do not allow “extra riders,” especially children.

Throughout the next few weeks, let’s all pay extra attention to these tips for being safer on the roads and around the farm. Don’t harvest trouble.

To the Editor,

Responding to the com-missioner’s debate over the window, door, and trim color and after looking at the photo of the Court House in the paper and reading the article, the debate should not be who wants what, but the concern should be what attracts our county seat. If the browns, whichever one, or if its bronzed are visualized with the current brick and a slate gray roof one could see that would be like a “dead” morgue. The antique white accents the dark colors and would certainly stand out as a fabulous attraction to our county seat and to the city of Elbow Lake as to all sorts of people from everywhere travel-ing through our community. I am not a pro but I have taken classes in decor art, I do much crafting, and I am a professional seamstress and have learned the balance of style and color. This is why I am offering this suggestion to make our county seat attractive and very eye appealing to those who can’t help but look at the court house when they come through the city. Also I am a native of Barrett, was born there, lived on the farm, and graduated there. I attended my 50th class reunion in 2010 and as I drive through Elbow Lake always to go to Barrett. I feel that the court house is a real fi ne part of one’s history and needs to be appealing. I come from the other Rey that was from Barrett. And our heritage is very important to me. So I truly hope that everyone can look at this with a different thought. No, it won’t be the very beginning, but the antique white has been the accent since the 30’s, so it still goes quite a ways back, and it is not about us anyway as to what we like.....it is what attracts our county seat.

1936: Fire at Pomme de Terre Lake cottages

Walter and Bertha Pauhl, caretakers at Kenney’s Camp (now Tipsinah Mounds Campground) on Pomme de Terre Lake, c. 1930s.

Oct. 3, 2001 - 10 Years Ago

The Grant County Public Health Nursing Service has nominated four of its Home Health Aide/Homemakers for the prestigious “Ageless Heroes” award from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.

Blanche Goodwin, Hoffman, Deane Schmidt, Herman, Rosella Sax, Elbow Lake and JoAnn Brehmer, Wendell, will all receive recognition at the Minnesota Ageless Heroes awards celebration and participate in the national Ageless Heroes program.

The Ageless Heroes Awards program is dedicated to celebrating extraordinary people aged 65 and over. Public Health nominated these four because of their long and dedicated service as Home Health Aide/Homemakers in Grant County. All four care for clients year around helping with tasks from simple homemaking to bathing and personal care.

Goodwin has worked for Public Health for 12 years. She is so dedicated that even though the weather may take a turn for the worse she will try and get to her clients.

Schmidt has worked for Public Health for 11 years. She takes care of clients ranging from infants to the elderly.

Sax has worked for Public Health for 12 years. She is Public Health’s “summer” em-ployee in that she lives in Arizona from November to April.

Brehmer has been with the Public Health Nursing Service for nine and one-half years. She works with infants to the elderly making sure they are getting their medications, help-ing with housekeeping and personal needs.


Mike Nelson, rural Elbow Lake, was just curious when he first saw an ad for airstream dust helmets nine years ago, now he is one of the top ten airstream helmet distributors,” in the nation.

“It just kind of mushroomed,” he explained. “I first used the product in a wheat bin to prevent dust from aggravating my allergies. When I didn’t sneeze for over half an hour, I was convinced.”

The salesman instinct in Nelson soon led him into part-time sales regionally to fellow farmers and area elevators and eventually into full-time sales across the United States – all based out of his farm home between Elbow Lake and Herman.

This past spring, Mike received the 1986 Distributor Excellence Award for being one of the top ten distributors in the nations.

The product, which is manufactured by RACAL Airstream, Inc. out of Fredrick, Maryland, is a respirator helmet with a large plastic visor in front. It is worn over and encloses the wearer’s head and a battery-operated fan circulates clean air through a filter to the wearer.

The helmets are designed for use in industrial settings, like coal mines, said Nelson, but they also are ideal in the agricultural setting for use in chemical plants, grain bins, or any situation for those sensitive to dust, allergies, molds, etc.


Mrs. Ruth Spidahl, Grant County home agent, will receive special recognition this month for distinguished service as a home agent.

She will be one of a group of outstanding home agents from various states who will be cited for distinguished service at the annual meeting of the National Home Demonstra-tion Agents’ Association Oct. 10-13 in Boston. A highlight of the annual meeting is the recognition service which will be held this year on Oct. 13 in the Somerset Hotel in Boston.

Each year the National Home Demonstration Agents’ Association honors home agents who have given outstanding home and community service as educational leaders. The citations are given to agents who have served 10 years or more in home economics exten-sion work. Last year a former Grant County home agent, Ruth Johnson, was honored by the association.


Fire broke out in one of the W.R. Kenney cottages on Pomme de Terre Lake Monday afternoon and did a considerable amount of damage.

The fire is reported to have started from an oil stove and because of the composition of the walls, quickly spread to several rooms. Two rooms in the servants quarters were com-pletely burned. Other rooms were damaged by smoke and heat.

The Elbow Lake fire department was called and aided in saving surrounding buildings. Two garden hoses were used to keep the fire in check.

Mr. Kenney carried in-surance on the cottage.

Recently State Repre-sentatives Mary Franson (R-Alexandria) and Torrey Westrom (R-Elbow Lake) invited the House Tax Chair, Greg Davids (R-Preston) and the Property Tax Chair Linda Runbeck (R-Lino Lakes) to talk with local and county of-ficials in Alexandria on Wed., Sept. 28. There were about 25 local officials in attendance. The purpose was to discuss the Tax Bill signed by Gover-nor Dayton during the spe-cial session to end the state shutdown this past July. This bill included the elimination of the Homestead Market Value Credit (HMVC) (not to be confused with the Home-stead Classification) and the new program in its place, the Homestead Market Value Ex-clusion which was intended to mimic the same tax relief for homeowners as the HMVC. Many local officials were concerned and unclear

a skit between Goldy Gopher and Bucky Badger (UW’s mas-cot) where the badger had Paul Bunyan’s axe and Goldy wanted it. Goldy cleverly came up with a plan to spray Bucky Badger in the eyes the a huge bottle of Axe de-odorant and then took Paul Bunion’s axe while Bucky was blinded. Always the thinker, Goldy then sprayed himself with the deodorant and bunch of cheerleaders ran over to the irresistibly good smelling Goldy and started ripping Goldy’s shirt off. Underneath Goldy’s shirt was a Vikings Brett Favre jersey. All the Gopher fans cheered and all the Badger fans jeered. It was probably the loudest cheer in the sta-dium all game.”

Since Goldy is a student/athlete of the University of Minnesota, he is subject to all the rules any student/athlete is: he must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average with a full load of credits, must get drug tested, and pass a physical every year. Arnquist had to try out for the mascot squad every year as well, not such a big deal his second and third year, when he was selected as captain of the squad. Arnquist is also a three-time letterwinner.

The Gopher mascot(s) have a head coach, who is an employee of the U of M, they practice three times a week, and lift weights right

alongside the football team. They also travel to all the Big Ten schools with the teams, stay in the same hotels, and eat at the team training table. All this leads to some pretty close ties with other student athletes and mascots.

“Goldy alumni are a pretty close bunch,” Arn-quist said. Goldies from the Golden Gophers football teams’ golden age often jibe the younger Goldies about what a soft job they have.

“Goldy always does push ups for every point scored after a touchdown,” said Arnquist. “Those older guys brag that they were doing 45-50 pushups all the time. I seldom had to do more than 14.”

Arnquist received a busi-ness degree this past spring and is currently employeed at Centerpoint Energy.

“Having been Goldy was a great ice breaker at job interviews.”

There can be a career for professional mascots, but the competition is tough. Both Crunch, the Minnesota Timberwolves mascot and Nordi, the Minnesota Wild mascot, are former Goldys. Arnquist said he has been called a few times to be a corporate mascot at con-ventions and annual meet-ings. It’s a couple of hours work and the pay is good. Although Goldy the Golden Gopher mascot is never

payed when working for the University, he is also allowed to make a little money on the side.

“We could play Goldy for parties, etc. and get payed $20 per hour plus mileage.”

In 2011, Goldy won the Universal Cheer Association mascot national champion-ship. In the competition, all the division one mascots in the country enter a two minute highlight video that mascot teams put together that shows their mascot in different situations. The judges watch and rank all the entries and the top 15 are invited to compete in Orlando, Florida in January. The video is worth half of the final score and the other half of the score is decided by creating a minute and a half long skit, and performing it in front of the judges.

“The skits are judged on creativity, crowd involve-ment, funniness, and a gen-eral wow factor. Last year my team came out of the video portion of the competition ranked #1 and also got the top score for the skit. Goldy had finished in the top five every year since the late ‘90s, but never won until last year.

Goldy will be honored during halftime of the Gold-en Gophers homecoming football game against Ne-braska at TCF Stadium on the U of M campus.

Goldy congratulates Arnquist at his graduation from the University of Minnesota.

Representatives talk property taxes

about these changes and Rep. Franson and Westrom wanted to have a meeting with local officials to address these changes.

“We are concerned about these changes as well,” said Rep. Franson. “Our local residents are concerned about the changes they may see to their taxes and by having Chair Davids and Runbeck come to Alexandria to explain these changes was very helpful.”

The exclusion does not rely on state funding unlike the HMVC, which did. A ma-jor criticism of the HMVC was that, with budget deficits, the state had not fully funded this program more then once over the past ten years, so it made it very tough for local governments to set their budgets when they did not know what to count on. The exclusion is based on home value, which will benefit

lower-income homeownerswith low property values.

No one in attendanceexpected everything to staythe same given the state was facing a $5 billion deficit.“There has been confusionand potential unintendedconsequences with thesechanges and this was a goodway to have interaction with the local officials who have been raising questions andconcerns about the revision of the HMVC and the House Tax Committee leadership,”Westrom said.

Homeowners need toknow that the HomesteadClassification has not been changed! Everyone will still receive their homesteadclassification which is notthe HMVC. There has beenconfusion about this pointin the coffee shops and thehomestead classification didnot have anything to do with what changed.

‘we need to fix up our roads’

To the Editor,

I just came from a meeting in Alexandria “Day At Home in Region IV.” This meeting was supposed to be a place for mental health consumers and mental health providers to hear presentations by mental health advocates and Commissioner Jessen from Minnesota’s De-partment of Human Services. The morning went very well as the advocacy groups encour-aged the consumers as well as providers to share stories to put a personal face on the issues surrounding mental ill-ness. These same advocates assisted the consumers in putting together their stories and talked to them about how to approach their legislators. The afternoon was to be a chance for a “Conversation Between Attendees and Leg-islators.” Thirteen legislators were invited. From District 2: Sen. Rod Skoe and Rep. Kent Eken. From District 9: Sen. Keith Langseth, Rep Paul Mar-quart and Rep. Morrie Lanning. From District 10: Sen. Gretchen Hoffman, Rep. Bud Nornes and Rep. Mark Murdock. From Dis-trict 11: Sen. Bill Ingebrigsten, Rep. Torrey Westrom and Rep. Mary Franson. From District 13: Sen. Joe Gimse and Rep Paul Anderson. Speaking to bi-partisan cooperation, nine of the above are Republicans and four are Democrats. Of the 13 elected Senators and Representatives listed six did not bother responding at all, despite three emails and

The majority of the increase comes in the Court-house Bond Payments. This line item goes from $90,000 in 2011 to $379,018 in 2012, as the county starts to make debt service payments for the courthouse energy up-grade. The bond payment is actually $453,498, but the county receives a $74,480 payment from the federal government to offset interest costs for making the energy upgrade.

The upgrade will result in savings as well, as the line-item for General Government Building expenses decreases from $122,323 in 2011, to $102,082 in 2012.

pair of pants and a sweat suit; and, Ruthie Sanford Reetz made an artistic collage titled “Our Beloved American Shores” from stuff found on a beach in Hawaii.

But its not all frivolous. Ashby’s Helen Robertson has been making quilts out of recycled sheets for the children of Haiti for over 20 years.

“We saw the need while volunteering on the mission field there,” she said. “The Haitian children really trea-sure their little quilts.”

Finally a little bi-partisan cooperationLetter to the Editor

a phone call to their offi ces by the presenters of the meeting. These six were Kent Eken, Keith Langseth, Paul Marquart, Gretchen Hoffman, Joe Gimse and Paul Anderson. Two responded that they had confl icts, these were Bud Nornes and Mark Murdock. One wanted to come but makes his living as a farmer and was busy with harvest, Rod Skoe. Four said they were com-ing but didn’t bother to show, they were the esteemed Sena-tor Bill Ingebrigsten, and the equally esteemed Represen-tatives Morrie Lanning, Torrey Westrom, and Mary Franson. Again speaking to bi-parti-sanship, of the six that couldn’t be bothered to respond, there was an equal split, three Repub-licans and three Democrats. The three who had con-fl icts, but at least were courte-ous enough to respond were two Republicans and one Democrat. Now to the four for whom I hold the least regard by the way all Republicans: Morrie Lanning, Mary Franson, Torrey Westrom and Bill Ingebrigsten.who said they would come but didn’t bother to do so or to call, what were you thinking? Oh excuse me, obviously you weren’t. There was a room full of people at the Broadway Ballroom in Alexandria ready and waiting to help you realize that the decisions you make impact people not just lines in a budget. As you can see by the above list bi-partisanship was

running wild. Democrats and Republicans alike were avoid-ing their constituents and their responsibilities. I personally am a pro-vider who has worked in mental health and or chemical depen-dency treatment for over 20 years, so I have gotten used to being overlooked and ignored by the legislature. The group to whom all 13 of you owe an apology are the consumers who came prepared to share their stories with you, listen to your responses and ask your assistance and com-passion. I hope, but I doubt that any of you understand the courage it takes for these folks to share their stories with you. The four of you who said you were coming and didn’t should be especially ashamed and not far behind should be the six who didn’t bother to respond. The three of you who had confl icts had a choice to make. One of the things I found most distressing is that Sen. Ingebrigsten and Rep. Franson both live in Alexandria which, by the way if you missed it, is where the meeting was. I hope the electorate in each of your districts takes your lack of commitment, your lost sense of responsibility, and if you have excuses for not showing, your inability to be organized enough to let the presenters know into consideration in 2012. Shame on all of you!

Robertson and her hus-band used to deliver the quilts themselves, but due to health problems, they can no longer go to Haiti. She still makes the quilts and ships them off however.

Two years ago, Robert-son was given directions for making dresses out of recycled pillowcases.

“What a nifty idea. It really filled a need for the girls of Haiti as they are so desperate for something to wear.”

Robertson is asking

anyone who wants to help, to donate clean, slightly used sheets and pillowcases. They can be any size, but she does not need white ones. Call her at 218-747-2946.

You can see examples of Robertson’s work, and dozens of other Trash to Treasure treasures at the library during regular library hours from now until Octo-ber 8. The event is sponsored by the Community Health Care Auxiliary and the Bar-gain Bazaar Thrift Store in Elbow Lake.

from $1,100,000 in 2011, to $1,450,000 in 2012, a $350,000 increase. There are two main reasons for this increase in tax revenue. First, the county board elected not to replace an Engineer Tech who retired a couple years ago, and instead will make the position part time, with the added part time duties of the County Ditch Inspector to make it a full-time posi-tion. This will help handle the increasing load of issues related to water in Grant County. While most of this employees hours as Ditch Inspector will be billed to the various ditch systems, an office must be set up, and a vehicle, etc.

“Also, we need to fix

up our roads, which is go-ing to be a major expense and require planning on how to fund the improve-ments that are needed” said Van Santen. “The highway department is considering some major projects which is reflected in the increase to the preliminary levy for the department.”

The Social Services levy increase of around $50,000 is not as bad as it could be. Social Services lost a lot of state and federal funds, but made up for it with payroll savings because of retire-ments which have not been replaced and general belt-tightening.

Question: I was wondering if it is illegal to have the ball hitch in the receiver of my truck if I am not pulling any trailers at that time? Also is it illegal to have more than one ball on my bumper?

Answer: No, it is not illegal to have a ball hitch in the receiver of a truck when not pulling a trailer at that time. It is not illegal to have more than one ball hitch on the bumper. But with that being said, you need to be aware that multiple ball hitches on the bumper could obstruct the rear license plate. According to Minnesota State Statute 169.79 Subd. 7, “All plates must be (1) securely fastened so as to prevent them from swinging, (2) displayed horizontally with the identifying numbers and letters facing outward from the vehicle, and (3) mounted in the upright position. The person driving the motor vehicle shall keep the plate legible and unobstructed and free from grease, dust, or other blurring material so that the lettering is plainly visible at all times. It is unlawful to cover any assigned letters and numbers or the name of the state of origin of a license plate with any material whatever, including any clear or colorless material that affects the plate’s visibility or reflectivity.”

The ball hitch needs to be a device approved by the commissioner of public safety. The ball hitch must be of sufficient strength to control a trailer. I believe that part (3) “…or other blurring material so that the lettering is plainly visible at all times…” could apply for too many ball hitches on a bumper in reference to obscurement. I believe this comes down to common sense. What does a reasonable person believe is the purpose of a ball hitch? While I believe that answer is obvious, a ball hitch attached to the receiver can have the receiver detached and removed when not in use, especially if it is causing an obstruction. A ball hitched attached directly to the bumper may not be able to be removed as easily, and most ball hitches are commonly 1 7/8”, 2”, and 2 5/16”. Would it be unreasonable for a person to have three ball hitches on a bumper? Would it be unreasonable to have the tools (a couple of wrenches) with you either in your vehicle or tool box to remove a ball hitch not in use? I would advise the owners of the ball hitch and the officers ob-serving an obstruction to use good discretion in these situations. Each situation is different, but ultimately we should strive to keep license plates unobstructed.

Your LegalRights

In this tough economy, every dollar counts. The last thing strapped consum-ers need is to be paying unauthorized charges for goods and services. Yet, if you are not checking your credit card statements each month, there is a chance that you could be paying such unauthorized charg-es. Whether a fraudulent charge, a billing error, or a charge improperly assessed by the credit card company itself, it pays to spend some time to carefully review your statements each month to be sure you recognize each line-item as a charge you authorized.

Review Each Line-Item on Your Statement. Even if the total amount owing on your credit card is in the ballpark of what you expected for that statement, do not conclude that you do not need to review the spe-cific charges. Sometimes the fraudulent charges that show up on credit cards are small specifically because the individual or company committing the fraud hopes that the consumer either will not notice or will not take action on the unauthorized charge. Over time, however, these charges can add up to big money.

It is therefore important to go through each line-item and confirm that you recognize the charge. This is true even if you hold the card jointly with another person. If you see a charge that looks strange, don’t just assume that it relates to a charge made by your co-cardholder.

If you notice an unau-thorized charge, do some-thing about it. If you believe the unauthorized charge is the result of stolen card in-formation or other identity theft, you should report it to your card issuer as quickly as possible, and to the police. Most credit card companies have 24-hour ho-tlines specifically for such reports. If the unauthor-ized charge appears to be a billing error, you should communicate the error to your card issuer in writing, within 60 days of the date of the bill. For more informa-tion about how to dispute such unauthorized charges, see the Attorney General’s publication entitled, How to Dispute Bogus Credit, Debit, and ATM Charges.

Beware of Unauthor-ized Charges from the Credit Card Company Itself. Some consumers find unauthorized charges on their credit card state-ments for products and services offered by the credit card company itself. For instance, for a fee, most credit card companies now offer credit insurance-type products that claim to help customers with their credit card payments in case of hardship like job loss, catas-trophe, or disability. Like-wise, credit card companies

Check your credit card statements carefully

offer products that claim to help customers track their credit or mitigate the risk of identity theft.

Some customers are signed up for these pro-grams by their credit card companies without their authorization or informed consent. Some consumers do not know they are paying for such products—as much as $50 to $60 dollars a month—unless they check each line-item of their monthly credit card statements. These fees can add up to $500 a year or more.

Telemarketers for your credit card company wield more power than typical telemarketers because they already have your credit card information and can directly charge your account. Be especially wary if a telemar-keter for your credit card company tries to get you to agree to let them send you materials in the mail to look over.

Ironically, some con-sumers are unknowingly signed up by their credit card companies in “fraud preven-tion” products through the use of fraudulent telemarket-ing calls. Take, for example, Minnesota consumer T.G., who was cold-called by a tele-marketer for a product that purported to protect against identity theft. T.G. indicated to the telemarketer that he was not interested in enroll-ing in anything, but that the credit card company could send him information about the product in the mail. T.G. was nevertheless enrolled in the product without his authorization, and was later refused a refund when he called his credit card com-pany about the unauthorized charges.

If you are billed an un-authorized charge by your credit card company, you should call to dispute the charge immediately, and in-sist on a refund. Some credit card companies may train their employees to refuse re-funds on the basis that they possess proof of authoriza-tion for enrollment. If you are persistent and insist on obtaining such “proof,” the credit card companies may back down and provide a refund.

If you are the victim of such unauthorized charges, or for more information, you may contact the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, 1400 Bremer Tower,445 Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101, 1-800-657-3787, <www.ag.state.mn.us>.

GCHS awarded grants

��

Chris Mitchell, Grant County Humane Society grant writer, is presenting the $3,000 check from PETCO to Kelly Austen, Grant County Humane Society board member.

The Grant County Humane Society (GCHS) was recently awarded three grants for updating the dog isolation area with 2-3 isolation bays. One award for $3,000 was from The Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust in Cleveland, OH. The second $3,000 award was from the PETCO Founda-tion based in California. The St. Croix Valley Foundation from Hudson, WI also awarded the GCHS $1,000. To raise money to finish the dog isolation bay project, the GCHS will be contacting local organizations.

Minnesota Depart-ment of Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel is asking all Minnesota mo-torists to approach work zones with care and keep safety uppermost in mind when driving following a work zone crash on I-94 near Hwy 280 in St. Paul in which workers were in-jured when an automobile ran into a construction vehicle on the side of the road.

“There are thousands of workers on our state and local roadways every day who are working to improve our transporta-tion system,” Sorel said. “They deserve to be safe. They deserve to be able to go home to their families after their shift.” He added that there were more than 1,900 work zone crashes in 2010.

Minnesota has been working very hard on re-ducing crashes on deaths on roadways through its work in the Toward Zero Deaths program. Sorel notes that of the compo-nents of that program—engineering, education, enforcement and emer-gency services—education is critical because it brings motorists into the safety mix.

“We can engineer safe roads, enforce traffic laws and respond to crashes with emergency services as good as any state in the nation,” Sorel said. “But we cannot do it without motorist cooperation. One crash in a work zone is one too many.”

Score a job - not a scam: Be on the lookout for phony job postings

If you’re looking for a job, you’re not alone. With unemployment at a rate of 9.1%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, many job hunters are turn-ing to online job boards to post their resume and search for jobs. The Better Business Bureau of Min-nesota and North Dakota (BBB) is warning job seekers to proceed with caution be-fore sharing their personal qualifications and inquiring about jobs they find online.

As much as the Internet has made searching for jobs easier, it also provides an op-portunity for ID thieves and scammers to take advantage of eager – and unsuspecting – job seekers. It’s becoming more and more common for scammers to deceive poten-tial applicants with phrases like “Get rich quick – without even leaving your home!” in the hopes of illicitly acquir-ing their personal informa-tion. Craigslist, Monster.com, Careerbuilder.com and even Facebook are all feed-ing grounds for scammers.

The BBB advises job hunters to be on the lookout for these red flags when conducting their job search:

•Employer e-mails rife with grammatical and spell-ing errors. Most online fraud is perpetrated by scammers located outside the U.S. Their first language usually isn’t English and this is often evident in their poor grasp of the language, which can include poor grammar and the misspelling of common words.

•E-mails purporting to be from job posting websites claiming there’s a problem with a job hunter’s account.

After creating a user account on sites like Monster.com, Careerbuilder.com or Craig-slist.com, a job hunter might receive an e-mail saying there has been a problem with their account or they need to fol-low a hyperlink to install new software. Phishing e-mails like this are designed to con-vince readers to click a link within the message to fix the issue, but these links actually take them to a website that will install malware or viruses on their computer.

•An employer asks for extensive personal informa-tion such as Social Security or bank account numbers. Some job seekers have been surprised to learn they’ve gotten a job without hav-ing to do a single interview. However, when the employer then asked for personal information in order to fill out the necessary paperwork suspicions were raised – and rightly so! Regardless of the reason or excuse given by the employer, a job applicant should never give out his or her Social Security or bank account numbers over the phone or through e-mail.

•An employer offers the opportunity to become rich without leaving home. While there are legitimate busi-nesses that allow employees to work from home, there are also a lot of scammers trying to take advantage of unemployed workers, senior citizens, students and injured or handicapped people hoping to make easy money. Job hunters should use extreme caution when considering a work-at-home offer and always research the company with their BBB first at <www.bbb.org>.

•An employer asks for money upfront. Aside from paying for a uniform, it is rarely advisable for an ap-

plicant to pay upfront fees or make a required purchase to get a job. The BBB of Metropolitan Dallas recently uncovered a scam where job hunters were told they had to pay $64.50 for a background check before they could be considered for a cleaning job. Predictably, after paying for the background check, job seekers never heard from the company again.

•The salary and benefits offered seem too-good-to-be-true. The adage holds true for job offers: if the deal sounds too good to be true, it prob-ably is. Phony employers might brag about exception-ally high salary potential and excellent benefits for little experience in order to lure unsuspecting job hunters into their scam.

•The job requires the employee to wire money through Western Union or MoneyGram. Many phony jobs require prospective em-ployees to cash a check sent by the company through the mail and then wire a portion of the money on to another entity. Reasons given for this requirement vary from scam to scam. Whatever the reason, the check might clear the employee’s bank account but will eventually turn out to be bogus and the employee is out the money he or she wired back to the scammers.

The mission of the Better Business Bureau is to promote, through self-regulation, the highest stan-dards of business ethics and conduct, and to instill public confidence in respon-sible businesses through programs of education and action that inform, protect and assist the general public. Contact the BBB at <www.bbb.org> or 651-699-1111, toll free at 1-800-646-6222.

Lake Region Healthcare invites women of all ages to an inspiring day “Feeling Good for Life” a Women’s Wellness Event to be held at M State’s Legacy Hall in Fergus Falls on Saturday, October 8.

Ohio, New York, Geor-gia, and Minnesota received funding to help older adults and people with disabilities remain independent and healthy in their communi-ties.

Assistant Secretary for Aging Kathy Greenlee announced that the four states will use a total of $12.8 million in grants to accelerate development of comprehensive, integrated systems that can serve as models for other states. The models will demonstrate how to enhance state sys-tems to provide consum-ers, including individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, or their caregivers with simpli-fied, streamlined access to needed services.

The coordinated ap-proaches developed with this funding will support those eligible who need help at home, with energy assistance, and caregiver training. The grants will also strengthen access to all information on support services for consumers, regardless of the source of funding.

“It is fitting that we an-nounce these awards during World Alzheimer’s Month. Our home and community-based service system must be responsive to the unique needs of all, including those with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Assistant Secretary Greenlee. “We are respond-ing to families who tell us that they want easy access to appropriate services and supports, both public and private, that can help older adults and people with dis-abilities remain indepen-dent in the community.”

States are working with Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent Living, Alzheimer’s associa-tions, health departments, and community-based or-ganizations to increase access to evidence-based caregiver support programs and health and preven-tion programs. A goal of this effort is to identify persons with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders so their needs and the needs of their

Mary Widiger, Lakeland Hospice & Home Care

Though her life was very brief, little Emily Johnson’s legacy has gone on to touch scores of people, many of them also children. This year marks the 5th anniver-sary of Camp Emily, a day camp developed through the bereavement program of Lakeland Hospice, especially designed for children ages 7-18 who have experienced the death of someone they love.

Camp Emily was started by Lakeland Hospice Foun-dation in 2007, a year after Emily passed away. Her family wanted something special to remember her by, something that would spread some of the love that she had known during her short life. This year’s Camp Emily will be held on Saturday, October 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lakeland Hospice House in Fergus Falls, MN. Past participants are often from the surrounding area, but have also come from as far as Winnipeg, Manitoba and South Dakota. Thanks to generous donations from area sponsors, there is no charge to participate in Camp Emily and children are invited back year after year.

As many as 37 people at a time have participated

Fifth anniversary of ‘Camp Emily’in the camp, held each fall. The day-long event has been held at a number of facilities over the years, including the Fergus Falls Salvation Army, area churches and last year for the first time at the Lake-land Hospice House.

Losing a parent, sibling, grandparent, relative, friend or classmate, can leave a child grasping for how to cope with intense feelings and profound loss. Parents or guardians accompany the youth for the day, participat-ing in the experience and learning more about their own grief in the process.

“I found it hard to help my grandchildren and adult children with their grief when I was grieving, too. Camp Em-ily brings us together to learn how to express our grief and provide tools to heal. Be-ing with others in a similar situation is reassuring and comforting,” explained Di-anne Herman, grandmother of Emily Johnson.

According to Bonnie Wallin, LSW, Bereavement Coordinator at Lakeland Hospice & Home Care, “Camp Emily is a day of healing and connecting with others, giv-ing opportunities for people to feel less isolated and to connect with others who are on a similar journey.”

Each year trained facili-tators are brought on board

bringing expertise in the fields of grief counseling and personal loss. Funeral Home Directors, school counselors and bereavement social workers meet throughout the year in preparation for the activities and events of this special one-day event. Because of the complexity of the situations, whether multiple losses, or the death of a parent or sibling, the professionals need to be prepared to help on a one-to-one basis, the children and families who are struggling with their grief.

The day opens with a candle lighting ceremony in remembrance of Emily. Throughout the day, grief education and support along with age appropriate activi-ties are incorporated and at-tendees are invited to share their feelings. Participants have the opportunity to express themselves through creative arts, including de-signing a quilt square con-taining a memory of their loved one.

Dianne Herman sews the quilt pieces together while the families gather and get to know others who have also experienced loss. “It’s a great day for healing and connect-ing with others who have lost loved ones. It’s nice to watch the kids’ transformation

throughout the day as they become more comfortable with their groups and start making friends with others with their same struggles,” added Lynn Johnson, Emily’s mother.

The day ends with a bal-loon release for the group... a thought or message floating up in the sky... reminding each person that their loved one lives on in the memories and hearts of the survivors. Dianne brings back the quilt, now completed to show the group how they came together in their grief, but leave united in their healing.

Children’s responses to having been at Camp Emily include, “I feel happier know-ing others feel the same as I do by talking about my loved ones.””I learned there’s a lot more people out there that have had a loss.””I learned it’s better to talk to some-body than not to.”

Registration for Camp Emily has been extended to Wednesday, October 5. To sign up or for more in-formation contact Lakeland Hospice at (218) 998-1400 during business hours and ask for the bereavement department. The camp is open to people of all ethnic, cultural, and spiritual back-grounds.

WCA runners compete at Fergus Falls meet

by Kris Beuckens The Knights’ cross coun-

try teams competed at Pebble Lake Golf Course in Fergus Falls last Thursday afternoon and ran quite well despite the competition being mostly from larger schools.

“Walking off the bus was a bit intimidating to-day,” said WCA coach John VanKempen. “There weren’t too many schools our size to compete against at Pebble Lake, but overall, as a team, I think it was the best we have run this year.”

The Lady Knights’ var-sity team ran well. Abby Van Kempen and Kylee Fernholz

paced the WCA runners. They ran together much of the race and, with about a mile to go, were in about 30th place. From that point forward, they picked up their pace and each finished in under seventeen minutes. Van Kempen placed 15th and Fernholz placed 22nd. Asthon Blair placed 73rd overall, finishing in just under 20 minutes. Katie Poyzer placed 83rd in about 22 minutes.

For the varsity boys, Alex Toms looked very comfort-able in finishing in 15th place in under 18 minutes. Jeremiah Johnson finished in under 20 minutes to place

62nd. Tyler Schill finished 77th followed by rookie Andrew Jennen and Zach Cunningham in 80th and 81st places.

“Tyler has been so good at helping the newbies to the sport,” said Van Kempen. “We can always count on him to be consistent and we tell the newbies to stay with him when racing.”

Coach Van Kempen went on to say, “We’ve added a few more boys to the roster to help us. Austin Clavin in ju-nior high and senior Andrew Jennen. Andrew ran well in just his first race, possibly starting too fast but he was really thrown to the wolves today in a big race, and did quite well considering.”

The Knights’ junior high runners raced in Fergus Falls as well. “It was good for our junior high kids to be in a race with a lot of runners,” said Van Kempen. “Some-times the kids get so spread out and there isn’t anyone near enough to really race against. That wasn’t the case today though.”

For the girls, Taylin Schleicher and Hannah Frisch finished side by side in 36th and 37th place. “Both of these girls competed hard today and it was a good ex-perience for them to place as well as they did,” said the WCA Coach. “There were about 100 girls running in their race and we’ve been waiting to see if they would compete hard when chal-lenged and today they did.”

For the boys, Ryley Nel-son placed 9th, followed by Devin Schack (24th), Ethan Olson (31st), Austin Clavin (75th), Wyatt Odegaard (90th) and Alex Olson (91st). These boys placed in 7th as a team, but only lost to AA schools.

WCA’s next event is Thursday in Perham which will feature a race for 5th and 6th graders.

by Kris BeuckensThe Lady Knights’ vol-

leyball team had another up and down week on the courts. They took a pair of disappointing losses during the week but then finished strong with a 2-2 showing at a tournament in Hancock on Saturday.

The Lady Knights (5-11) are set to battle Upsala (12-2) this Tuesday night at Upsala and will then host the Minnewaska Area Lakers (8-14) on Thursday at Barrett.

WCA (1-5, 5-11) cur-rently finds themselves near the bottom of the Prai-rie Conference standings, looking up at Long Prairie-Grey Eagle (6-0, 13-5) and Upsala (6-1, 12-2) who are on top. Browerville, Osakis, Swanville and Eagle Valley follow, with only Royalton below the Knights in the standings.

Lady Knights – 0Swanville – 3

The WCA girls opened the week with a disap-pointing three-game loss at Swanville on Tues-day night. They dropped games by the scores of 25-12, 25-20, and 25-22.

“Tonight was a battle of ups and downs in our three-set loss to Swan-ville,” said head coach Beth Hanson. “At times we played very well. At oth-ers, we did not play well. Our consistency needs to improve and each player

WCA spikers play well at Hancock Tourneyneeds to do her part to get us where we need to be. The main aspect we need to improve is our communica-tion.”

Jen Froemming led the Lady Knights with six kills, followed by Hilary Lindor with five, and Tiana Christen-son with four. Froemming also led the team with 13 assists.

The Knights were led on defense by Christenson and Froemming with 10 digs each, while Caitlyn Hayward contributed eight.

Lady Knights – 1 Browerville – 3

The Lady Knights hosted Browerville last Thursday night and gave one away to the visiting Tigers. WCA won the first game handily, 25-18, but then fizzled and lost the next three, 25-22, 29-27, 25-21.

“We should have had this game. We started extremely well. The girls were playing together as we jumped out to an awesome start,” said Hanson. “After the first set, our intensity let up and we allowed them to play with us. We started making unneces-sary errors mostly caused by lack of communication and girls not being in their correct spots. We are experiencing a roller coaster effect. When we communicate, we are at the top of our game and can play with anyone. When our talking stops, we slide right down and do not play well.

Our focus is communicat-ing at all times, trusting one another, and striving to always reach our maximum potential. I believe these girls are capable of being a great team. There is so much potential that they can reach when they learn to always put forth their best effort.”

Jen Froemming had another excellent match for the Knights in both leader-ship on the floor and in the stats. She had another triple double with 20 kills, 20 as-sists, and 13 digs. She was followed by Kelsey Hammer with 14 kills, Hilary Lindor with nine, Holly VanKempen with seven, and Christina Kruize and Tiana Christen-son with five each.

“Our hitting was great tonight. We have the ability to be a great team. It comes down to every girl showing up to play and refusing to let balls drop,” emphasized Hanson.

Hancock TournamentThe Lady Knights were

at Hancock for a tournament last Saturday and, overall, had an excellent showing.

“We played extremely well and improved through-out the course of the tourna-ment,” said Hanson. “The girls came ready to com-pete and play as one, well-oiled machine. Volleyball is a game of chemistry and momentum. When we com-municate on the court, we can play with anyone. Our

talking improved drastically this weekend. At times, we reverted to our old ways, but now see how it directly influ-ences our performance. This weekend we showed what a strong team we can be when everyone plays selflessly for the good of the team. I am wholeheartedly proud of the girls for their attitudes, work ethic, and performance from this weekend. They really did an incredible job.”

WCA started strong with a two game win over Ortonville, 25-19 and 25-19. “We were a very balanced team with Jen Froemming at six kills, Hilary Lindor, Christina Kruize, and Holly VanKempen at three each, and Tiana Christenson and Shawna Jenson with two apiece,” stated Hanson. “De-fensively, Mariah Hennen led us with seven digs while Jen and Tiana each had six. We served very well in this game and took Ortonville out of their system.”

The Knights had a rough first game in their second match of the day versus Upsala and lost 25-14. They woke up a bit in the second set and played with Upsala and really could have taken the game but fell in the end, 25-18.

“Once again, we were very balanced offensively and defensively. We were led in kills by Jen with five while Hilary had three and Tiana, Holly, and Kelsey Hammer with two each,” said Hanson. “Our dig leaders were Mariah with four, Haily Harstad with three, and Christina, Jaden Hammer, and Caitlyn Hay-ward with two each.

The Knights took on Foley in their third match of the day and they won, 25-19 and 25-22.

“Our communication was great, we went after every ball, we covered well, and we played as a team,” stated coach Hanson. “Jen had six kills, Tiana had four, and Holly had three. Caitlyn Hayward led us with eight digs while Mariah had six, Tiana had four, Jenna and Jen had three each, and McK-enzie Hunter and Kelsey had two apiece.”

After getting second place in their pool, the Lady Knights took on Hancock who placed first in theirs. WCA played poorly in the first game of the match and lost, 25-15.

“We came out with much more fire and fight in the second game and won it, 26-24,” said Hanson. “In the third set, we went back to low communication and lost, 15-8. Hilary led us with six kills while Jen, Kelsey, and Tiana each had three. Tiana

led us with eight digs and Jen had six.”

“Overall this was a great weekend for the Knights,” exclaimed Coach Hanson! “We took a huge step up as a team and showed moments of greatness! When we can consistently play at that level, we are going to be the great team I know we can be. To come out of this weekend 2-2 after playing some great teams is very impressive. I am very proud of these girls.”

Spanning the globe for single moms

I was trying to make it to the end of the season without losing what’s left of my mind. It seems as if I’ve spent an eternity watching guys get hurt and sick, while their team falls apart. The Twins had an off- night and I thought I’d relax and try to forget when suddenly I remembered: I had prom-ised Denard Span that I’d photograph his very first solo charity event.

Last year Span co-host-ed this same event, Twins and Pins, with Orlando Hudson. I made the mistake of calling this year’s event, “Denard’s second annual Twins and Pins,” and he immediately called me on it. “I want to be honest with you; I consider this my first annual Twins and Pins event. Last year it was more of Orlando Hudson’s…I tagged along to just get a feel for doing an event. Last year it benefitted mostly his charities. He handed me the torch, and I will carry it, and always thank him for allowing me to tag along. This year it is my charity, the Jeremiah Program, that this is linked to, and it’s a good feeling to be here.”

I asked him what the Jeremiah Program was all about.

“It’s for single mothers. It helps single moms who are trying to go back to school, make a good living for their kids, and trying to make things positive. It’s a good cause! A good friend told me about this program a couple of years back. But at that time I wasn’t quite ready to throw an event, but I knew it was something I wanted to do. My mother raised my brother and me (alone) – so I wanted to do something that was near and dear to my heart.”

As I drove to the event, I was hoping that for De-nard’s sake, this wouldn’t be a flop. Denard is a great guy, and I knew how much this evening meant to him. But I also knew how tired, beat up, and frustrated the team was, and how a restful night in another environment might appeal to them. And I was thinking how frustrated fans were, and thinking they might feel the same way. But as I pulled into the bowling alley parking lot, I was happy to see it nearly full – and I was early. As I walked into the

building, I was even happier to see Joe Nathan, Michael Cuddyer, Kevin Slowey, Luke Hughes, Drew Butera, general manager Bill Smith, and many others, as well as hundreds of fans. It was a great evening, and I believe that by the end of the night, it helped many of us to end a rotten season with a posi-tive spin.

A couple personal high-lights I experienced that night were separate conver-sations I had with Joe Nathan and Michael Cuddyer. I’ve spent nearly the last decade at an endless number of events with these guys, and this may have been the last one with them as Twins. They are truly great individuals, and whatever team they end up on next year, that com-munity will be fortunate. I hope it’s ours.

I was hanging with De-nard for a while, and I asked him if anyone from the Twins’ current roster looked out for him and had been a positive influence on him in his young career. I knew that in the past Orlando and Torii had done so, and they still check in with him.

Denard smiled and said, “Michael Cuddyer and Joe Nathan…and all of the veter-ans on the team have been a great help. But I want to say, the best advice I ever got was

from Michael Cuddyer. It was in my rookie year, 2008, and there were a couple of events that I didn’t show up to. He pulled me to the side and said: ‘Do you know what, Denard? I know that one of these days you’re going to have your own event, and you’re going to want your teammates to show up and support your cause, your charity, whatever it might be.’ I never looked at it in those terms. I thought about it and knew I’d want the support of my teammates. Ever since then, I’ve been to every charity event.” He had a lump in his throat as he continued, “And to come here today, and see about 15 of my teammates here, is just a good feeling.”

I couldn’t let Denard get away without asking him one baseball question: Can we be competitive next year? He replied, “Yes! No question, no question. Everyone is going home after this season with a sour and bitter taste in their mouths, including the play-ers, coaches, and front office. Everyone’s going to use this off-season to try and find a way to turn it around.”

Maybe if we tell the team that each game is some type of benefit, we might win -- because in the world of charities, the Twins are world champs.

by Kris BeuckensThe Lady Knights were

handed a pair of losses on the tennis courts last week. They lost, 5-2, in a road match to Minnewaska Area on Tuesday night and then fell, 6-1, to BBE on Thursday night in Barrett.

The WCA girls have one match left in the regular sea-son. They will host Wadena-Deer Creek on Tuesday, October 4, and then begin to prepare for playoffs the following week.

The Lady Knights trav-elled to Minnewaska Area last week and lost, 5-2 to the Lakers.

The doubles team of Regan Biss and Lauryn McLaughlin won, 6-3, 6-3, over Katie Rutledge and Line Ettrich. Marissa Hayward and McKenna Blehr also won, 6-0, 6-0, over Annika Ped-erson and Myranda Thoen.

In other doubles play, Alayna McLaughlin and Savanna Westrom lost a three-set heartbreaker, 7-6, 5-7, 6-7, to Sarah Freske and Makenna Hanson.

Lady Knights – 1 BBE – 6

The Lady Knights were upended by the visiting BBE Jaguars last Thursday night at Barrett. Notching the only win for the Lady Knights was the doubles team of Marissa Hayward and Ash-ton Hagen. They won, 7-6, 6-4, over Kelsey Loch and Jessica Cobb.

In other action: Carlie Loeks lost, 6-3, 6-4, to Kelly Roller; Krista Paulson lost to Michelle Sanders, 6-3, 6-4; Vessa Bumgardner lost, 6-0, 6-1, to Jordan Grendemann; and McKenna Blehr lost,

7-6, 7-6, to Morgan Pastian; Alayna McLaughlin and Savanna Westrom lost, 6-3, 6-2, to Mattea Eckstein and Daisha Meyer; and Regan Biss and Lauryn McLaughlin lost, 7-5, 6-4, to Myranda Zarbok and Mackenzie Winter.

In exhibition play, Kait-lin Bruns and Tonje Gustav-son lost, 8-2, to their Laker counterparts.

“The girls do a wonder-ful job when playing under pressure, like during tie-breakers. It can really put a damper on the match when the first set starts as a loss, but they all seem to want to battle through it and play the best they can at that point,” said coach Kristel Olson. “It is really exciting to watch tiebreakers and a third set to see who’s momentum is stronger, and our girls haven’t had it the second half of our season. I hope that they are saving it for the indoor courts in Sartell for play-offs!”

The Knights’ football team traveled to New York Mills on Friday night to take on the Eagles in their homecoming football game. In another game the Knights could have won, WCA came

On August 15th, 2011, Darold Stuewer had the second hole-in-one of the season at Tipsinah Mounds Golf Course. Using his 7 wood, Daryl aced the 145 yard Hole #16 from the yellow tees. Daryl’s hole-in-one was witnessed by Little Joe Hjelmstad, Don Dally, Bruce Olson, and Pete Mounts!

Knights suffer road loss to New York Millsup on the short end of a 20-0 score in a hard-fought game.

The loss puts the Knights season record at 1-4 and they are currently 0-3 and in last place in the Prairie Conference South standings. Browerville (3-0, 4-1) contin-

ues to lead the conference, followed by Royalton (2-1, 3-2), KMS (2-1, 2-3), Otter-tail Central (1-2, 3-2), New York Mills (1-2, 1-4), and the Knights.

This Friday night, the WCA gridders will be at Royalton to try to knock the Royals out of second place. The game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start.

Knights – 0Eagles - 20

The Knights opened the game with the ball and proceeded to march down the field only to have the drive stall out on the Eagles’ 11-yard line.

After the Eagles posses-sion ended with an intercep-tion, the Knights seemed like they would be in business again. However, the Knights could not take advantage of the turnover as their drive ended with a fumble on the last play of the first quarter.

The Eagles started the second quarter by going on an impressive, 16-play, 54-yard touchdown drive that took a full nine minutes off the clock. A two-yard touch-down run ended the drive and the Eagles held a 7-0 advantage with about three minutes to play in the half.

During the Eagles touch-down march, they converted two fourth down plays into first downs to keep the chains moving.

“We couldn’t seem to find a way to make a play when we needed to get our defense off the field,” stated

head coach David Drexler.WCA’s next drive ended

with an interception on just their second play of the possession and New York Mills took full advantage of the turnover. They rumbled 42 yards on five plays and scored with under a minute to go in the half. The scoring play came on a 25-yard, 4th down pass.

“Their quarterback made a great throw on that fade route. Our defensive back was in position, they just made a play.” The Eagles took a 13-0 lead into the halftime break.

New York Mills took the ball to start the second half and again went right through the heart of the Knights’ defense on a 16 play, 71-yard scoring drive that took another nine minutes off the clock. After the PAT, the Eagles held a 20-0 lead.

“Their drives to start the second and third quar-ters really wore our defense down. They controlled the

time of possession tonight, running nearly twice as many offensive plays as we did.” stated Drexler.

Down by 20 with only 15 minutes to go, the Knights failed to get anything going offensively. The two teams exchanged a few short drives with neither team finding much success. When the final whistle blew, the score-board showed a 20-0 New York Mills victory.

Coach Drexler said, “Give New York Mills a lot of credit. They executed on offense and attacked on defense. They made big plays when they needed to and took advantage of op-portunities.”

The Knights had 48 yards passing on 15 attempts and 80 yards rushing on 20 carries for a total of 128 yards of offense.

New York Mills ended with 52 yards passing on nine attempts and 153 yards rushing on 50 carries for a total of 205 yards of offense.

Drew Peterson and Da-kotah Kashmark lead the way for the Knights. Peterson had 35 yards rushing on nine carries and hauled in five receptions for 43 yards. Kashmark completed 7 of 15 passes for 48 yards and ran for another 24 yards on four carries. The rest of the Knights offense came from Trevor Telkamp (12 yards on 4 carries), Matt Wagner (4 yards on 1 carry), and Ethan Supler (5 yards on 2 carries and 5 yards on 2 receptions).

“Dakotah had a tough night statistically, throwing three interceptions, but he really played a good game. Two of his interceptions went off the hands of our receivers and the other was a ‘Hail Mary’ pass at the end of the first half. Our offense just needs to find ways to be more consistent and move the football. We had too many turnovers and too many missed opportunities tonight to be successful.”

by Kari RippergerMicrochipping your pet

might seem like ‘just one more thing’ - but it’s an extremely important thing if you care about your pet. Here’s just two stories of how the microchip saved a couple pets...

The Humane Society recently accepted a cat from Barrett that was chipped by the original owner. Eventu-ally, that owner had to move into a nursing home. The owner’s son placed an ad on Craigslist looking for new homes for the two cats. One of the cats was rehomed to someone in this area. That

Why microchip your pets?new owner apparently didn’t want the cat soon after adop-tion and went to the Barrett Park one day and offered the cat to some children who were in the park. One of them said ‘yes’ and took the cat home. The parents on the other hand, said ‘NO’ and called Law Enforcement and they returned the cat to our shelter.

We checked for a chip and found it was registered to the original owner and not transferred to the second owner. So we did get some information on the cat which is helpful.

Second StoryA cat was returned to

his home right in Elbow Lake after staying at the shelter for 23 days and spending some time also at Lake Region Small Animal Center. Had the cat been microchipped he would have been returned home the same day or at least his owners would have been contacted about his where-abouts and arrangements made to get him back home soon. Thankfully, he is now microchipped and they are going to register the chip in the event that he gets picked up again.

When we were exploring the harbor of Boston, Massachusetts,we saw the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria bobbing in the water. Of course, they were just copies of the real ships that Christopher Columbus sailed. I was surprised at how small they were. I thought the explorers were very brave to sail across the ocean in them, trying to find new routes and lands.

Columbus Day, on the second Monday in October, is meant to commemorate Oct. 12, 1492, the day when the Italian explorer Christo-pher Columbus, sailed from Spain and ‘‘discovered” the Americas. One of the oldest holidays celebrated by the United States, Columbus Day dates back all the way to 1792, only 16 years after the United States declared its independence from Brit-ain. It was first observed in New York City, mainly due to the city’s numerous Italian-American residents, to celebrate the 300-year anniversary of the voyage.

We all remember the saying from school, ‘‘In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” No one is certain ex-actly which island in the Ca-ribbean he really discovered. And while it is still debated exactly where the explorer docked the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, his three

Why do we observe Columbus Day?flagships, it is agreed that Christopher Columbus was at least here.

In recent time, it has become less and less popu-lar to revere Columbus. The idea that he ‘‘discovered” a portion of the world that had already been inhabited by native people for thousands of years, is pure arrogance. Even the name ‘‘America” is attributed to another Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci, who sailed the ‘‘ocean blue” long before Columbus. Most historians even agree that the notion that the earth was round was already widely known to the educated people of Columbus’ time.

Although it is a fed-erally observed holiday, many states have given way to popular opinion and changed the meaning behind the observance. In South Dakota, they celebrate Na-tive American Day instead of Columbus Day. Hawaii calls

their holiday Discoverer’s Day, instead.

In spite of all the criti-cism and controversy, there is a deeper meaning behind this holiday. It really doesn’t matter when people knew America existed. We already have a holiday for that. It’s the Fourth of July. It doesn’t matter who set foot here first. The Native Americans did, no question about that.

Columbus Day is more about discovery. It’s an idea that rings true even today, just as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, ring true for every American. Discovery is the belief that the unknown is still out there. That kind of imagi-nation and determination created a country where everyone is entitled to self-expression, freedom of reli-gion and the right to vote. Where would we be today if we hadn’t discovered our own America for ourselves?

Five K-9 officers from the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) took first place as a department team at the 2011 U.S. Police Canine Association National Police Dog Trials.

“The DOC team did an incredible job,” said K-9 Of-ficer Rick Jennings. “Taking this first place goes a long way toward showing our dogs are totally under control. Having dogs operate at this level helps ensures the safety and security of our staff and facilities.”

Officers Jennings and Mike Langerman (Lino Lakes prison), John Rathai and Chris Persing (Faribault prison) and Jamin Leuzzo (Moose Lake/Willow River prisons) represented the DOC at the event.

“I’m extremely proud of what this DOC team ac-complished,” said Commissioner Tom Roy. “We take the security of our facilities and the safety of our staff very seriously around here. These guys embody what it takes to get the job done.”

Teams competed in six events: obedience, suspect search, article search, agility, criminal apprehension, and criminal apprehension with a gun. The total points earned by each officer determined who won as a team.

Individually, officers Jennings and Langerman took first and second place respectively in the agility event, while Persing took fourth place in the criminal apprehen-sion event.

Teams qualified for nationals through regional com-petitions. More information is at <www.doc.state.mn.us/media/news/2011k-9Nationals.htm>.

DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Question: How did Minnesota Conservation Volunteer, bimonthly magazine of the DNR, get its name?

Answer: The name Minnesota Conservation Volunteer stems from the magazine’s original purpose. Established as the DNR’s official publication in 1940, it aimed to help mobilize an army of “conservation volunteers” throughout the state. Readers were encouraged to take a pledge to “support by word and deed all aspects of conservation.”

Early issues of the magazine featured a card that con-servation volunteers could clip and carry in their wallets. Seventy-one years later, the magazine still encourages its 150,000 subscribers to volunteer for the cause of conserva-tion. Today, readers’ contributions pay for the entire cost of producing, printing and distributing the magazines.

You can find the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer at <www.mndnr.gov/magazine>.

WEATHER SUMMARY

The mean temperature for September was 58.4°F, which is 0.7°F below the 124-year mean (1886–2009). The high temperature for the month was 87°F on the 2nd, 12th, and 29th. The low tem-perature for the month was 31°F on the 15th and 16th.

For the summer we had six days of 90°F or greater.

Precipitation for the month totaled 0.45 inches, which is 1.89 inches below normal.

We had 342 corn GDD in September, which is about average.

Lots of people are done fishing for the year and that’s too bad as some of the year’s best action can still be had in the coming days. If, in fact, you like catching bass like I do, you can probably get in on some dynamite ac-tion before the lakes freeze for the year. Here is a look at some productive ways to catch fall bass.

In some lakes, bass will invade the shallows in the fall seeking shelter and easy meals. Any fallen timber or flooded trees present in a lake can be fall bass magnets. Also, pencil reeds are another shallow water spot that attracts bass at

Peak bassin’ is right now!

this time. In fact, some of the same reedbeds where I caught good numbers of largies in the spring, become hotspots again now.

A classic jig-n-pig com-bination flipped and pitched at shallow trees and reeds is one good way to catch bass.

Another good way is with a swimming jig. A swim jig is simply a skirted bass jig tipped with an action trailer like a grub. A 3/8-ounce white shad Jungle Jig tipped with a similarly colored 4- or 5-inch grub is my favorite swim jig combination. Go-ing to the oversized grub (5-incher) is one modifica-tion I prefer in the fall as this bigger size trailer seems to put oversized fall bass in the boat. I simply make long casts along trees or to reeds and use a straight swimming retrieve.

Shallow water will attract bass, but deeper water will also hold fall largemouth. Finding “good” weeds will be the key to finding deeper bass. “Good “ weeds will be the greenest, liveliest weeds that can be found as the bass will typically school in these areas.

I like to penetrate what is left of the “good” weeds with two presentations at this time. A stick-bait fished on a weedless jig head is one method. A Jungle Jig-

Loc tipped with a Slurpies or IMPULSE Dip-Stick Worm is a great way to attack this cover. The Dip-Stick fishes with the “do-nothing” action that really seems to be a hot producer of largemouth at this time. The Jig-Loc allows these worms to be presented in a weedless fashion. I pre-fer green pumpkin or camo colored Dip-Sticks at this time and fish them on either a crawfish or watermelon Jig-Loc. As in any fishing situation, experimentation is the best way to determine the best bait colors.

Do nothing worms pro-duce weedy bass in the fall. Another great way to catch these fish is by again fishing a jig-n-pig combina-tion. A 5/8-ounce Jungle Jig tipped with a craw chunk is my favorite combination when using this method. Watermelon, black & blue, and crawfish colored jigs tipped with similarly colored chunks are favorite color combinations. These baits are fished by making short pitches to the heaviest weeds and allowing them to settle into the cover. Often the fish hit on the initial fall and the fight is on!

Fighting aggressive bass is one of my favorite fall ac-tivities. Using the methods just provided can, in fact, lead to some dynamite fall fishing action for you too! As always, good luck on the water.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced that it will treat a small area of Rose Lake with a commonly used pesticide to kill recently discovered zebra mussels in the Otter Tail County lake.

DNR biologists conducted an extensive shoreline survey of the 1,200-acre lake on Wednesday, Sept. 28, and discovered a small number of juvenile zebra mus-sels in one very small area of the lake.

The DNR suspects the zebra mussels were trans-ported recently to the lake on a boat lift. The small size of the mussels suggests they are not at a repro-ductive stage.

“This is an example of an early detection and rapid response to a zebra mussel discovery that might preclude an infestation,” said Luke Skinner, DNRinva-sive species unit supervisor. “It’s possible we can kill these mussels before they establish a reproducing population.”

The treatment will be conducted as early as next week. The DNR will apply copper sulfate, a commonly used chemical used to control snails that cause swim-mers itch, in order to kill any zebra mussels in the area.

This technique has the potential to control small, isolated populations of unwanted mollusks, but has not been effective in eradicating large and established mussel populations.

The introduction of the invasive mussels in Rose Lake is under investigation by the DNR. It is illegal to possess, import, purchase, sell, propagate, transport or introduce invasive species into Minnesota waters. Violators can receive civil and criminal penalties.

All water related equipment, including boats, docks and boat lifts must be free of aquatic plants, zebra mus-sels and water before being transported in the state.

This is the first time the DNR will attempt to control a small isolated population of mussels in the state. After the treatment, Rose Lake will be put on a priority monitoring list and checked frequently for any more zebra mussels. If zebra mussels are discovered next open water season, Rose Lake will be designated as an infested water.

Check out the fall colors while they are still here

My wife and I got out this weekend and took in some of the fall colors. Some spots in central and west central Minnesota were very beautiful and were near their peak. We took some pictures to “capture” the colors. However, many trees were nearly bare. I know the winds are certainly speeding up things by blowing the leaves off of the trees.

Even though we are into October, it feels more like July or August. Temperatures have been well above average for the past couple of weeks. On Sunday, Alex-andria hit 82 degrees for a high. It wasn’t a record as the record high for that community is 90 degrees, set in 1953. Monday’s low was 50 degrees in Alexandria. Silver Bay, however, dipped to 33 degrees on Monday. Hibbing fell to 34 degrees for a morning low on Mon-day.

In case you are wondering, one year ago we were warm as well. On October 5, 2010 it hit 77 degrees for a high in Alexandria. The morning low was 48 degrees. Average highs this time of the year are now 57 degrees with average lows now down to 38 degrees.

We will see temperatures remaining above average all the way into the weekend. Although we will cool-off later on in the week, it won’t be as cool as it could be for this time of the year. Highs by this weekend will fall into the 50s and 60s for a high with that chance of some light rain.

If you get a chance, check out those fall colors while they are still here. For the latest fall colors go to the Minnesota DNR website to see where the best spots are right now. They are going fast. Just like the Vikings chance for making the playoffs.

Weather history: In 1963 a heat wave moved across the state of Minnesota. For example, it hit 98 degrees at Beardsley, 96 degrees at Madison, and 94 degrees at Elbow Lake!

The majority of U.S. wheat- and barley-producing states enjoyed a calm year in terms of Fusarium Head Blight incidence and sever-ity. But not all. As always, growing season weather played an important role in disease incidence and sever-ity, or lack thereof.

Commonly referred to as “scab,” Fusarium Head Blight, caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, can produce significant yield losses, as well as serious grain quality issues due to the presence of the my-cotoxin known as “DON” (deoxynivalenol).

A recent survey of uni-versity small grains special-ists by the U.S. Wheat & Bar-ley Scab Initiative (USWBSI) found growers had very few problems with the disease this year in eastern states like New York, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. The exception was Pennsylvania, where central and southern wheat counties in particular incurred very serious levels of infection.

Southern states (Ala-bama, Mississippi, Arkansas) reported low incidence of scab this year in their wheat crops, as growing season weather was not conducive to its development.

Ohio’s wheat producers suffered high scab levels in 2010. This year, while the disease was again present around the state, incidence and severity levels were sub-stantially lower. Most other Midwest states incurred even less Fusarium Head Blight than Ohio in 2011.

Majority of small grain producing states had

Farmland prices continue to rise in the Upper Mid-west as farming in general continues to percolate along at a good clip in what is otherwise an unstable economy. According to Professor Ernie Goss, an economist at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. his own farmland index rose in September from 61.9 to 66.9.

Goss said this was the 20th straight month the index was above growth neutral and the third straight month that the gauge has risen. While high farmland prices re-flect the vigor of the ag sector these days, they could be built on a potential house of cards.

Goss and others addressed a conference in Omaha last week where the farm economy was front and center. According to writer Steve Jordon in The Omaha World-Herald, Goss said farmers should pay attention to pigs. The pigs he meant are actually European nations in financial crisis. They are, Jordon reported, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain, or the P.I.G.S. These nations are responsible for Europe’s precarious credit situation and they all teeter on default.

What does that have to do with rising U.S. farmland prices and the general state of our booming ag economy? Plenty. Goss told the conference, according to The World-Herald, that if those nations trigger a financial collapse across Europe, the U.S. dollar would strengthen and reduce our exports of farm products. In turn, Goss said, that would reduce farm prices, farm income, and, yes, the price of our farmland.

Ironically, our strong exports to Europe have been responsible for a good deal of the strength in the ag economy this year. The World-Herald reported that some farmland prices in the midlands have gone as high as $10,000 per acre, with some landowners charging $1,000 just to get the right to bid on cash rental.

Strong exports of U.S. farm products have helped fuel strong commodity prices, Goss told the conference. Jordon reported that those exports have backed up high farmland prices. But, he wrote, “conditions could change.” According to Goss, if the dollar strengthens and interest rates were to rise, free trade agreements with Panama, Columbia and South Korea would fair, and if rapidly growing economies in Brazil, Russia, India and China were to slow down—all would hurt U.S. farmers.

This, Goss told the conference, is sowing caution among rural bankers. As farmland prices rise, they re-member the crisis of the 1980s and they are being very prudent in their loan portfolios.

Jordon said one banker attending the conference thinks the farmland prices are trending too high. “I think we’re pushing a little,” he quoted Larry Winum, president of the Glenwood (Iowa) State Bank as saying. “We’ve got to be smarter than the market. We have to be real care-ful.”

Bankers at the conference don’t believe that today’s trending higher prices for farmland are causing financial risks, though. Jordon wrote that many of them remem-ber the farm crisis of the 1980s, and have learned not to lend too much money on farmland. Jordon reported that bankers are watching their loan portfolios, and one has even extrapolated what would happen if his bank’s portfolio were to lose 40 percent of its value.

The long and the short of it is that our ag economy is deeply affected by what happens in Europe and the rest of the world, and farmers should make their land purchase plans with that in mind. No fence row-to-fence row planting, no planting on less than viable land, and a steady as she goes attitude on expansion. As we found out in the heady 1980s, all can change at the drop of a market.

I’ll see ya!

On October 8, 2011, members of the University of Minnesota Extension Swine Team will lead a workshop to help beginning hog farmers develop the skills necessary to properly manage a deep-bedded, group-farrowing barn. The workshop will be held at the West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, Minn., 10-4 p.m.

Registration will start at 9:30 a.m., and the first presen-tation will begin at 10 a.m. in the Administration Building. University of Minnesota swine scientist Yuzhi Li will go over the basic management steps necessary to keep sows and pigs in good health and productive. After lunch the group will move to the barn to observe several piglet management practices, such as castration, giving iron shots, clipping teeth, ear notching and tail docking. A tour of the group-farrowing barn will follow.

Pre-registration is important to help the educators plan for lunch and for supplies needed in the barn. Lunch will be provided. Please contact Wayne Martin at (612) 625-6224 or at [email protected] to register for the event.

With the exception of certain areas of Nebraska, the Great Plains region had virtually no scab this season. The long drought that has plagued Oklahoma and parts of Kansas was a big factor in the disease’s absence.

It was a tougher scab year in the Northern Plains, however — and particularly in South Dakota. A late, wet spring, coupled with a wet and sometimes hot grow-ing season, set the stage for problems with several foliar and head diseases, including scab.

Fortunately, scab’s 2011 impact on crop yields and quality was at least par-tially blunted by farmers’ expanding use of moderately resistant varieties, timely and effective fungicide ap-plications, and better crop rotation. This integrated management approach has been strongly promoted by university specialists and the USWBSI.

Also, many growers and crop advisors are utilizing the FHB Alert System, a web-based prediction program designed to provide advance notice of potential outbreaks and the risk of Fusarium Head Blight in a given area. The system is hosted by the USWBSI.

Information on USWBSI-sponsored research and outreach efforts is available on the Initiative’s website: <www.scabusa.org>. The website also carries an exten-sive article summarizing the 2011 scab situation around the nation.

Explaining venture capital

Small Businessby Mel Aanerud,

Former Ass’t District Director of the U. S. Small Business Administration

Venture capital is mon-ey that is invested in busi-nesses by those who would rather invest in a business than in the stock or bond market. The risks are high, but the possibilities of big profits are also high. For this investment the small business gives up part of its ownership.

I have heard some peo-ple complain that it isn’t fair for these venture capital investors take part owner-ship and garner big profits off other people’s ideas. I heard a talk by the owner of Landscape Structures Inc., who spoke about buying out her venture capital investor, paying many times what they ever put in. Someone asked if she was not upset with that payment and she replied, “No! I would have never been able to pay that out now if I had not got-ten the investment when I needed it.”

This month we learned that Minnesota has fallen to 25th in the nation in small business formation and pat-ents. That is not difficult to believe when the amount of venture capital invested in our state has fallen to the lowest level in 15 years.

To help solve this prob-lem, the Minnesota State Legislature last session passed a bill that provides tax breaks to venture capital investors who invest in new small businesses in Minne-sota. For more information see the Department of Em-ployment and Economic De-velopment (DEED) website at <www.positiveminnestos.com/business>.

For over 20 years I have been involved in trying to find a way to get venture capital investors together with good small business ideas. They do not need a tax break, not that they wouldn’t accept it, because they have money to invest

Enhancement FundBack in 2004, the Grant

County Enhancement Fund was established. Busi-nesses and individuals from towns in Grant County donated toward this fund to help with the cost of printing the booklet titled “Why Grant County is a Great Place to Live.” It was a compilation of es-says written by children and adults. Approximately 250 booklets were printed. After expenses there was a remaining balance of $118.22. The Chamber of Commerce Board of Direc-tors approved the decision to donate these funds to the Grant County Historical Museum. We all respect the fine work that our Museum does and we are fortunate to have such an organiza-tion in Grant County. It has helped people connect with the past in the way books and photographs cannot. And we want to help ensure that the fine work may continue.

So many in our area need to be applauded for what they do. The Elbow Lake Volunteer Fire De-partment is one of them. Currently there are 25 volunteer firemen and in

2010 they had a combined total of 1,201 hours of just training. This did not include meetings, or actual calls. Though each one of them is state certified, and have vary-ing degrees of experience, all of them are volunteers. Wrapped up in a fire call are hundreds of hours of train-ing, days dropping projects to help members of the com-munity and nights leaving warm beds to fight house fires, etc. Our fire fighters realize that they chose a pro-fession that makes them role models of our community. And they are responsible for upholding that image. Being a fire fighter is not just a job, it’s a calling. A job is something people do from 9-5. A calling is a career with a purpose that goes beyond the monetary pursuit. Vol-unteer fire departments pay

their expenses through the collection of tax dollars and donations. Fire fighters have a commitment to education. They realize that even the smallest bit of education can save fellow fire fighters. We are all anchored to a vast net-work of family relationships, and rules and are influenced by these roles. However, a firefighter has two families. He/she is influenced by the blend of values learned from both and uses that sense of family to make positive decisions and promotes the sense of family at the fire station. He/she possesses in-tegrity and dedication, feels a sense of ownership, and has a good sense of family.

Just a thought! An op-timist laughs to forget. A pessimist forgets to laugh.

Until next chat...

and are looking for good in-vestments. The real problem is that the investors want to keep some anonymity so that they are not barraged by every Tom, Dick and Harry who believe they have the latest best idea. What they need is a way to get the best ideas together with the people with money.

Back in the early 1950’s, Bud Ruvelson, a Minnesota diamond dealer, was helping to establish the United States Small Business Administra-tion (SBA). He thought the government might provide that mechanism and thereby encourage more venture money into small busi-nesses. He convinced United States Senator Bell then a Republican Senator from Minnesota and DFL Senator Humphrey, then Minnesota’s junior senator, to sponsor a bipartisan bill. The result was the SBA’s Small Business Investment Corporation Program (SBIC). Bud then established the first such organization in Minnesota and continued in business into his 80’s helping small businesses access venture capital.

The SBIC program was started in Minnesota and made our state a leader in venture investment for many years. Major corpora-tions got their starts because of SBIC investments, includ-ing Medtronics, Polaris, Larson Boats, the major computer and window mak-ing companies that are still

a strong part of the Minne-sota economy. The SBIC did provide that mechanism, but policy makers, not under-standing that as the major reason for the program, have made it increasingly difficult and complicated for these firms to provide that service.

But there still is an SBIC program in Minnesota. Although it is anemic com-pared to what it once was, it still works as a conduit for those with money to invest in those firms who have great growth potential.

The small business own-er can still use the program and every day those SBIC’s are looking at new invest-ment opportunities. The local office of the Small Business Administration has a copy of those licensed venture capital firms in the SBIC program contact the Minneapolis SBA at 612-370-2324.

Voters say ‘yes’ to new high school

With all 12 precincts reporting, District 206 voters have spoken: Build a new high school in Alexandria.

The $65.15 million referendum passed by a wide mar-gin, garnering 5,554 “yes” votes (57 percent of the total) against 4,226 “no” votes. (Totals are unofficial.)

The final precinct to report – Precinct No. 7, which includes the city of Garfield, Brandon Township, Ida Town-ship, Leaf Valley Township and Moe Township, opposed the referendum with 465 “no” votes and 393 “yes” votes. But it wasn’t nearly enough to overcome the referendum’s big base of support in all five Alexandria wards and the two heavily populated townships of Alexandria and LaGrand.

Five precincts voted against the referendum – Miltona area, Lake Mary, Carlos, Forada, and Garfield/Brandon Township.

Here are the final precinct results:Alexandria Ward 1: Yes: 457, No: 228Alexandria Ward 2: Yes: 500, No: 315Alexandria Ward 3: Yes: 320, No: 198Alexandria Ward 4: Yes: 133, No: 94Alexandria Ward 5: Yes: 238, No: 141Precinct 6, LaGrand Township: Yes:1,002, No: 657Precinct 7, Garfield/Brandon Township: Yes: 393,

by Nick RippergerDuring the course of a relatively short meeting with

a light agenda, the Chokio-Alberta school board Monday evening okayed a request by resident Sandi Marlow-Weber to extend the swimming season at the Chokio pool by an additional two weeks.

Marlow-Weber is a member of the SPLASH commit-tee, a group of local people who made it their mission a couple of years ago to renovate the pool to ensure that it remained available for community members who want to use it.

Prior to SPLASH’s formation, the pool was in dan-ger of being closed because it was getting old and was expensive to heat and maintain during a time when the district was facing serious financial difficulties. As a cost-saving measure, the school board voted to close the pool from October 1 to May 1.

It was during the time that the pool’s fate was in jeopardy that the SPLASH committee formed and began raising funds to renovate the pool and keep the district’s pool-related expenses as low as possible.

That effort has been successful. Marlow-Weber told the board Monday evening that her group has raised about $35,000 since it was formed, and has invested it methodically to upgrade the pool and reduce the dis-trict’s related expenses.

She said the current season was more successful than in recent years, bringing in about $11,000 from user fees. She credited part of that increase to the new water volleyball and basketball accessories that have been added at the pool. She acknowledged that the fees don’t totally defray the cost of maintaining the pool, but estimated that they pay for about two-thirds of it.

Because the pool has been getting so much use, Marlow-Weber asked that the pool season be extended to October 16, rather than coming to an end on Octo-ber 1. Board members readily agreed to her request, complimenting SPLASH on its success in doing what it set out to do.

Natural gas service has been restored to 3,100 of the 3,600 CenterPoint Energy customers in Morris, Hancock and Benson left without service since Friday afternoon.

CenterPoint is down to 500 customers still without service, many whom were not home over the weekend. CenterPoint representative Becca Virden said technicians had been to each of the 500 remaining homes at least twice trying to gain access to relight pilot lights.

If your service has still not been restored, the phone number to call is (612) 372-5050.

Virden said some of the customers without service are “snowbirds” who have already left the area for the winter season. Virden said that if residents know neighbors are gone, it would help to contact them about the incident so CenterPoint can restore their service.

Virden emphasized that the work of local law enforce-ment and elected officials helped the restoration process go smoothly.

“You are very fortunate to have the police, fire, and public officials you have. This restoration went very smoothly,” said Virden. “We can’t say enough. They went the extra mile for us.”

The outage was caused after a piece of farm equip-ment hit a Northern Natural Gas pipeline (Northern) Friday afternoon. Northern is CenterPoint Energy’s natural gas supplier. Stevens County Sheriff Randy Willis said the farmer was laying tile in a farm field when the line was hit. The incident is still under investigation.

More than 100 technicians were in the area over the weekend trying to restore service. Extra technicians will remain in the area through Monday and Tuesday to con-tinue restoring service.

For safety reasons, the company urges customers not to turn any valves or tamper with the natural gas meter. Opening or turning any valves could allow air to enter the natural gas lines, which would hinder the re-pressurization process.

If someone smells natural gas inside or outside the home, they should follow these steps:

• Leave the area immediately and on foot.• Don’t do anything that could cause a spark (turning

on lights, driving a car, etc.).• Call CenterPoint Energy gas leak emergency-24-hours

By: Don Davis, State Capitol BureauGreat Lakes-area state fishing regulators spend much

of their time trying to defeat an Asian carp invasion, but the Illinois Department of Natural Resources thinks it has the answer: eat them.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Illinois is hiring a Louisiana chef to create recipes to prove that the invaders are as tasty as they are pesky.

The new campaign is aimed both at providing food for the needy and reducing the number of Asian carp, including those that famously jump far out of the water and sometimes hit people in boats. The carp are huge and eat food that native species need to survive.

The carp are headed up the Mississippi River and experts predict they soon will be in most bodies of water in the northern half of Minnesota if nothing is done to stop them.

States along the Great Lakes want Illinois to close two locks that now could allow the carp to swim from Illinois streams into Lake Michigan via a manmade canal. Illinois refuses, but the new program is designed in part to show Illinois is doing something to fight the menace.

“Illinois’ $15 billion shipping industry has been threat-ened through ongoing legal actions by neighboring Great Lakes states in an attempt to close Chicago’s navigation locks,” an Illinois DNR news release said. “Using Asian carp as a healthy food source for food banks is a major step towards eradication of the fish in Illinois waters and protects the waterway shipping industry from forced clo-sures of our locks and dam systems.”

Herman council takes action on delinquent water bills

FROM THE HERMAN-HOFFMAN REVIEW

by Nick RippergerDelinquent water bills are becoming a problem in

Herman, and this past Monday evening the city council decided to take action to bring them up to date.

City clerk Linda Caauwe compiled a list of bills that were delinquent as of Monday, and the total was about $7,000. Most of the bills were only a couple of days late, (the due date was the 10th and the meeting was the 12th), but a number were much older and much larger than the $65-$70 an average monthly bill is.

Those who are more than a few days late have received a notice from the city, and Caauwe said that some people have made, or are making, arrangements to get caught up. Others, however, have not done so, and are in danger of having their water shut off.

Council members had a lengthy discussion about how much notice people should be given before their water is shut off, trying to strike a balance between being under-standing of individual circumstances yet making sure that everyone is eventually paid up.

City maintenance worker Larry Brunkow (who does the shut-offs), said that from his perspective the city’s policy had to apply equally to all delinquent payers, and the city couldn’t pick and choose whose water to shut off and who to give a break to.

He added that some people apparently believe that the city can’t shut off their water because their shut-off valve is inaccessible. While that is true in a few cases, Brunkow said that the city has the authority to remove water meters from residences because the city owns the meters. The gap in the water line left by the meter’s absence would effectively leave the resident without access to city water.

Eventually the council decided to give delinquent payers until January 1 to catch up on their bills as long as they make monthly payments in the meantime, unless special arrangements are made. Beginning January 1, if a bill is 60 days late, the payer will be given a final notice that his or her water will be shut off in 10 days unless the bill is paid.

In a somewhat related matter, council members discussed how to bill “snowbirds” who are gone for a few months, and the owners of property that is unoccupied the whole year. The handful of “snowbirds” who go south for the winter don’t pay for city services in their absence, yet still receive some services like fire protection, and recycling service and mosquito control, annual costs that are spread out among all properties on a monthly basis.

Council member Jeff Nachbor suggested that the city establish a policy that was fair based on the services actually received. His main concern, he said, was how to treat absentee property owners. Eventually, he and council member Jason Strand volunteered to come up with a policy to present to the rest of the council for further discussion.

Dalton man faces life sentence in machete

slaying of mother

A Dalton man accused of killing his mother with a machete has been indicted by a grand jury with a first-degree premeditated murder charge.

James Francis Howard, 27, is accused of using an 18-inch machete to inflict head and hand injuries on 68-year-old Barbara Howard in April. She later died on Mother’s Day at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo.

The grand jury indictment was handed down Thursday in Otter Tail County District Court. Arraignment on the first-degree murder charge and a second-degree murder charge is set for Monday.

If convicted of first-degree murder, Howard faces life in prison with no possibility of parole.

A judge earlier found that Howard was competent to stand trial.

Howard told medics he was aiming to end his mother’s suffering from cancer and diabetes, court records say.

In Minnesota, a grand jury indictment is required for a first-degree murder charge.

Howard remains in the Otter Tail County Jail in lieu of $1 million bond without conditions or $500,000 bond with conditions.

How to help fund your grandkids retirement

Dear Savvy SeniorIs there a way that we

can put some money in a Roth IRA account for our young grandkids to use for retirement?

Curious GranddadDear Curious,There sure is! Funding

Roth IRAs for your grand-kids when they’re young is a smart move and an incredible gift to their financial future. And you don’t have to be rich to do it, either. Here’s what you should know.

Roth RulesThe Roth IRA is a

fabulous savings tool for your grandkids. A Roth can literally turn a few hundred dollars a year now, into tens of thou-sands of tax-free dollars for your grandkids when they retire by using the powerful combination of time and compounding.

But in order for you to open and fund a Roth IRA for a grandchild, one primary requirement will need to be met. The child will need to have earned income from some type of work – allowances don’t count. So, if your grand-kid made a few bucks this year mowing lawns, babysitting, delivering newspapers or working an after-school or weekend job, he or she qualifies. Just be sure you keep good records including a log of the dates and hours worked and amounts paid, as well as any W-2 forms from employers or 1099s.

If your grandkids meet the earned income requirement, there’s noth-ing in the rules that says the child’s own money has to go into the Roth. It’s perfectly legal if your

grandkids keep the money they earned and you make the contributions for them. The key is that you can’t contribute more than your grandchild earned in any given tax year, up to the limit of $5,000.

And to give you an idea of how these early contributions can add up, consider this. Let’s say, for example, that you contrib-ute $500 a year to your grandchild’s Roth for nine years from the ages of 10 to 18 (a total of $4,500). If that money grew an an-nual rate of 7 percent, that $4,500 would accumulate to around $144,000 by the time he or she reaches age 65. And with a Roth IRA, the full amount will be tax-free when it’s withdrawn in retirement.

It’s also doubtful that your grandkids would be on the hook for income taxes. Children who work as employees generally don’t need to file a tax return unless their income exceeds the standard deduction amount, which was $5,700 for the 2010 tax year. They should, however, file if they’re due a refund for any withhold-ings. But a child who has net earnings of $400 or more from self-employ-ment is required to file. For information on IRS filing requirements for children,

visit <www.irs.gov> and search for the page titled “Taxable Income for Stu-dents.”

FlexibilityYou also need to know

that opening a Roth for your grandkids doesn’t automatically lock up the money for decades. Like it or not, your grandkids, at age 18, can withdraw the principle contributions (but not earnings) any time, tax free and penalty free.

Roth IRAs also offer special withdrawal rules for higher education ex-penses. So if your grandkid needs money for college, contributions can be withdrawn tax and penalty free, while the earnings can also be dipped into without penalty, but they will owe taxes on it. And when it comes time to buy a first home, your grand-son or granddaughter can withdraw up to $10,000 (contributions and earn-ings) tax and penalty free.

Savvy Tip: For more information on Roth IRAs, see IRS Publication 590 at <www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p590.pdf>, or call 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy.

Plans may have different costs and benefits from year to year, thus it is advis-able for all beneficiaries to consider their options and make the best choice they can for the coming year. The change will take effect on January 1 as long as the plan gets your request by December 7.

Remember, everyone is entitled to Medicare Part D Prescription drug coverage. People with limited income and resources are eligible for Extra Help to pay for the costs—monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments—related to a Medicare pre-scription drug plan. You can help someone you care about apply for Extra Help with his or her Medicare prescription drug costs. The Extra Help is estimated to be worth an average of $4,000 per year.

To qualify for Extra Help you must reside in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia. Your resources must be limited to $12,640 for an individual or $25,260 for a married couple living together. Resources include such things as bank ac-counts, stocks, and bonds. They do not count your house and car as resources; and your annual income must be limited to $16,245 for an individual or $21,855 for a married couple living together. Even if your an-nual income is higher, you still may be able to get some help. If you already receive Extra Help, there is no need to reapply.

Furthering Governor Dayton administration’s commitment to transpar-ency and accessibility, Lt. Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon announced the cre-ation of the Senior LinkAge Line: A One Stop Shop for Minnesota Seniors.

The service will build on a legacy of providing Min-nesota seniors with health care related information to include all government ser-vices, as well as to connect seniors with volunteering and employment opportuni-

ties in their communities. This expansion is a

significant change for the Senior LinkAge, which pre-viously handled primarily health insurance and long-term care services related questions. Now when Min-nesota seniors call the Senior LinkAge Line: A One Stop Shop for Minnesota Se-niors, they will be connected to a person who will help them with any government service related questions. Line operators will utilize a specialized chat system, connecting them to repre-sentatives from all state departments and providing instant access to answers for callers.

Call the Senior LinkAge Line to learn more about the Extra Help and to learn more about the Medicare Part D drug benefit at 800-333-2433.

By Jill Callison, Sious Falls, SDArgus Leader

It’s getting to be more rare that someone stays in the same profession for 40 years.

Much less has the same boss for that same length of time.

But, in a few days, Jackie Harms will have accom-plished both. Only the law firm has changed during that time.

She began working as a legal secretary for Daven-port, Evans, Hurwitz & Smith on Oct. 4, 1971 - one week from today.

Within a few days, she had been given her first as-signment for a young lawyer, who had joined the firm less than 13 months previously: Rich Cutler.

Something clicked.“Our personal i t ies

blended well. I’m an explo-sive guy, and she’s got kind of a calming effect,” Cutler says. “Jackie is the ultimate professional. I think we had a common mission: She likes to be busy, and I was always busy.”

Their four decades of being busy began in a law office at 14th Street and Main Avenue. Harms - then Jackie Stuverud - had moved to Sioux Falls looking for work.

She had been raised in Elbow Lake, Minn., and at-tended high school there. Harms took business classes such as shorthand and typ-ing. She could race through 95 words a minute on a manual typewriter.

In the days when speed and accuracy mattered, and mistakes had to be painstak-ingly corrected, that was an impressive feat.

So impressive that when a local lawyer, Bill Goetzing-er, was asked to participate in a program that gave high school students on-the-job experience, he agreed - but only if she was the student.

Although Harms wasn’t enrolled in the program, she agreed and worked after school and one summer for Goetzinger.

She didn’t think, how-ever, that secretarial work would be her future.

She attended college in Moorhead, Minn., for two years, majoring in Spanish. Unsure of what she wanted to do with her life, however, she accepted a relative’s of-fer and moved to San Diego for a year.

Homesick, she returned to Minnesota and gave col-lege another try, this time with an education major. But being in a classroom didn’t feel right.

Professional pairing perfect for 40 years

Jackie Harms has been a legal secretary for two fi rms and has been working with Richard Cutler, a lawyer, for almost 40 years.

When a friend attending Augustana College invited her to move to Sioux Falls, Harms agreed.

If she remembers right, she found her job - and her niche - through an employ-ment agency.

“It was Louis Hurwitz that hired me over there, he was the managing partner,” Harms says.

“I think they actually hired me to work for Ells-worth Evans. His secretary was on maternity leave. (Rich) had only been there a year. He hadn’t been as-signed a secretary, but I was pretty much it and shortly afterward I became his per-manently.”

It was a successful match made in the heaven of briefs, torts and motions that is the legal profession.

“She’s always covered my rear and my clients like her and know her,” Cutler says. “We’ve put on a lot of miles together.”

One of those trips took Cutler and Harms to Ninth Street and Phillips Avenue. That was after a quarter cen-tury of working together at Davenport, Evans, when Cut-ler decided to join his son, Kent, and Brian Donahoe in the firm of Cutler & Donahoe.

It wasn’t an easy deci-sion for Harms to reach.

“I was a little torn be-

cause I loved working there, and I liked the people,” Harms says.

“I had friends there, but on the other hand I really liked working for Rich. ... I guess I wanted to go with him more than I wanted to stay.”

Cutler says, “I guess I never doubted that she would come with me. Even though it was probably tak-ing a risk on her part, too.”

Harms now works not only for Cutler but for two other lawyers with the firm, Jayna Voss and Bobbi Thury.

Today the best typist at Elbow Lake High School uses that skill much less often, al-though an electric typewriter shares desk space with her computer.

But the days of needing two carbon copies of every will she typed ended years ago.

Harms met her husband, Rick, when they shared op-posite sides of a duplex. They have been married 35 years and have two children, David of Orlando, Fla., and Lacey Benson of Sioux Falls. The couple also has two grand-daughters.

Harms doesn’t expect to retire any time soon.

“I don’t know what I’d do if I retired,” she says.

“Rich has always said he won’t retire until I retire, so we’ll see how that goes.”

Is this the right time for you to follow your passion or to reinvent yourself and make a career change? If so, make sure you can put your finger on what you want, so that you can sell yourself to prospective employers.

Carole Redden, director of career services at Brown Mackie College - Phoenix, of-fers five career-change tips.

Network with a mission Networking is vital to re-

inventing yourself or making a career move, but accord-ing to Redden, it should be done strategically and often. “There are people who attend networking events and do not maximize the number of people they talk to, or do not ask the right questions. If you are looking for a job, you must have a plan,” says Redden.

Establish your targets before attending network-ing events and job fairs, and keep the conversation brief and to the point. Develop a relationship with employer representatives you chat

Considering a career change?

LETTERS FROM HAITIDOUG AND SUSAN RAKOCZY

The time goes by so quicklyYou know how the Bible

talks about in heaven 1,000 years will be as a day (I Peter 3:8)… well, I am starting to see how that could feel since to me a week is like one day here since it goes so quickly!

I’m going to start with a quote from Oswald Cham-bers (I know I quote him a lot, but he has such practical insight).

“We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life---those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life, and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.”

We are definitely liv-ing in the valley… where every day presents another challenge to face. I’m just going to say it… it is hard. Physically it is exhausting, emotionally it is draining and spiritually there can be no slacking off. At the same time though, we are finding our strength in God and being forced to dig deeper into ourselves to find the endurance to press on. Each day I can wake up with hope because no matter the circumstances, I choose to obey God and He will take care of the rest. So… though we are challenged, we are strong and will continue to work each day because this is how God’s character will be formed in us.

It has been raining pret-ty much every evening bring-ing many more mosquitos! They are vicious! I was given information on the various types of mosquitos here and which ones carry which viruses. I have been looking at them more closely, but I have come to the conclusion that they are the result of the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden and serve no useful purpose! They all need to be squished!

On Tuesday evening as we were finishing up English class it started to pour down rain! About eight of the older boys ran for our porch as did we. As the rain was showing no sign of letting up any time soon and since the porch was not an ideal location for standing around; I asked if they wanted to watch a movie while they waited. We all went into the house and I set up the projector to display on the wall and we watched the CS Lewis classic, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” We used the French subtitles and they really enjoyed the movie! I am sure we will do it again and show the other Narnia movies. It was very fun!

The Haitian students begin school this coming week. We continue to have daily requests for help with tuition, supplies, books, etc., but hopefully once school begins these requests will subside (at least for a little while).

The young men who have been helping us get the house, garden and yard cleaned up introduced us to a wonderful new food stand across and up the street from where we live. It turns out that it is run by the Haitian family living next door. The boys took Jake and me up to try the food and we have been back several times since. The kind of food is called “Friaj” and akra is our favorite! It

would not be the kind of stand that we would have considered going to when we first arrived. It is a small, wooden stand with a couple of tables which hold either the finished product or the ingredients. They brought out a chair for me (everyone is always very considerate) and Jake and the boys sat on the bench and the cook showed me how to prepare the food. The Banan’s are made from plantains which are cut length wise, smashed between two small wooden paddles and then dropped into hot boiling oil. They cook until lightly browned and caramelized and then are taken out. They drain slightly and then are ready to eat. They have a sweet taste and are very good! The next item is Lam; I think they are a variety of yams which are cut lengthwise into thin wedges. After being dipped into a watery substance with spices in it, they are also fried. They are kind of like a crisper potato wedge but with a slightly sweeter taste. These are also very good. But, we all think the best thing at the stand is akra. This is manyak (a root veg-etable which is grown here) it is grated into small pieces using a piece of tin which has had holes punched into it. To this is added, some flour, hot peppers, bouil-lon and oil. It is mixed into a batter and while still in the bowl small sections are shaped into strips and put into the boiling oil. The akra cooks until a golden brown and then is removed, set to drain and when cool enough, put on a plate. These are REALLY GOOD!! Something like a hushpuppy which you southerners can relate to, but even better!

You can buy these as individual items or as a plateful. Because there were so many of us to feed, we bought them by the plate. For a very large, styrofoam plate of each of the three items it costs 100 gourdes total which is about $2.50. They also include spicy coleslaw and sliced tomatoes! It is more than enough to feed our whole family. The kids love it for lunches at school (a peanut butter sandwich on dried bread and a little packaged biscuit for desert just doesn’t cut it five days a week) and Doug and I like it too. I have gotten it for the boys’ lunch a few times this week too since they love it also and I didn’t have enough food to feed all of them every day (nor the time to fix it since I am at school).

The bowls and utensils would not pass any food inspection standard, and mixing is done with the bowls on the ground while the cook

sits on a low chair hovering over the top. But, there are always a lot of people wait-ing for the food and we have not gotten sick yet. I’m not sure there is a germ around that could survive a hot boiling pot of oil! And let’s face it, desperate times call for desperate measures! It’s the Haitian McDonalds and we are thankful we have found it!

The water project con-tinues to move along. The guys went out to Limbe this past week which is about 1 ½ hours from here. We try to make a visit to those wells about every 4 – 6 weeks de-pending on how many calls we get. An organization that is in the coastal region about 30 minutes from Limbe came to talk to us this week. They have a clinic and many other projects going on. The area needs water very badly, but there are numerous issues which makes that difficult. I won’t go into it all, but it is a challenge. Another NGO came to see me this week also, they make what is called medical mumba which is essentially a nutrition bar made from peanut butter for malnourished children. They are building a factory to produce these bars for the World Food Program and others and they are wonder-ing about us drilling a well for them. They are getting more information for us and then we will determine if it is feasible.

We should have the parts for the rig on Tuesday so Edrick can finish the well he needs to complete and move on to another. Please pray that we can just keep drilling and not have any more breakdowns. There were some other disturbing things that happened this week but I won’t go into them now. I will just say, please pray for the safety of our staff in their work and in their personal lives. As I have stated before, life can be very harsh here.

Thank you all for your continued prayers for our family as we live and work in Haiti.

Blessings, Susan

A self propelled silage chopper was destroyed by fi re at 270 St N.E., Elbow Lake, on Sunday, October 2 at 4:00 p.m. A hydraulic line broke and threw oil on the engine which ignited the fi re. The Elbow Lake Fire Department and the Grant County Sheriff’s offi ce responded to the scene. The machine was a total loss. The owner of the machine was doing custom work for Brad Larson of Elbow Lake.

A total loss

with and remember, it’s not just about what you can get from them, but what they can gather from you. It’s a two-way exchange of infor-mation.

Most people have more of a network of friends, family, former coworkers, and other connections than they realize. It’s important to share your plans with them and ask for help.

Examine your skills and resources

You don’t have to be stuck in a job. Be proactive. Do a personal assessment and ask yourself: What back-ground, skills and experience can I offer an employer? “If you’ve been in a job for 20 years, ask yourself, ‘What do I really want to do for a living?’,” says Redden. “Make some changes and some tough decisions.”

Update your credentials Many jobs require addi-

tional education or training. Take classes at local college, or a community or education center. Some nonprofit orga-

nizations offer free or low-cost training. If required, obtain certification for your chosen field.

Pursue your passion/your goal

A career is more than a job; for some it’s also a passion, and the career path chosen will require some work. If you are out of work, be more diligent. Until you get to where you want to go, you should be willing to work harder in pursuing your passion. The practice of reinvention takes effort. For people who like deliver-ing babies, they are happy when they go to work every morning because they have a passion for what they do.

Volunteer with non-profits

Use your weekends to volunteer. With reinvention, you can still give back and offer to help those who are less fortunate. You will gain valuable work experience in your career of choice.

•Ever notice that it’s easier to get up at 6:00 to golf than at 10:00 to mow?

•Golf is the ultimate love/hate relationship.

•Sometimes it seems as though your cup moveth over.

• It takes longer to learn good golf than it does brain surgery. On the other hand, you seldom get to ride around on a cart and eat hot dogs while performing brain surgery.

•A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.

Positive response from ‘Trash to Treasure’

Thorson Memorial Library Notes

by Librarian Gail Supernois-Hedstrom

I was looking through an older Time magazine when I ran across a review of a book titled No More Dirty Looks: The Truth about Your Beauty Products--and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics by Siobhan O’Connor and Alexandra Spunt and I thought to my-self, I really want that book. Impulsively I purchased a copy for my Kindle. At the time, we were driving down a highway and it was a way to instantly have that book in my hands. Shortly thereafter

If you love the music of Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, and the Allman Brothers Band, you’ll love the fourth Jazz & Blues Series concert with Trent Romens at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13 at A Center for the Arts’ Fergus Theatre, downtown Fergus Falls.

For ticket information about this concert, contact AC4TA at 218-998-ARTS (2787) or visit <www.Fergu-sArts.org>.

It was obvious that the blues came naturally to Trent Romens, and his innate talent and passion did not go unnoticed. He started playing guitar at the age of 11. By the age of 13, Trent was already perform-ing with some of the Twin Cities’ greatest blues and reggae artists including Wain McFarlane, Barbara LaShore, Willie Murphy, and Jimi “Primetime” Smith.

Trent’s greatest influ-ences are the artists that have proven their music to be timeless, and whose songs hold great weight: the lyrics of Bob Marley and Dylan, the improvisational spirit of the Grateful Dead, and the scorching guitar grooves of the The Allman Brothers Band. “I respect the music that has come before me. It’s through these influences that I’ve learned: what goes in comes out. I pour myself into my music, it’s who I am.”

Singing and writing his own songs for a little over a year, Trent continues to discover his own unique and powerful sound. He describes his live show as a form of therapy — for him-self, and for his audience. He

The Winter Dance Club, in its sixth season of dancing at the Lakeside Ballroom in Glenwood, Minnesota, invites dancers to come and enjoy dancing to live bands.

Eight dances with a variety of bands are scheduled from October to May. Come check out the fun for your-self at the opening dance on November 13 when Docs All Stars will play. The Velvet Brass will play on Sunday, December 4, and March 11, from 3-7 p.m. New this year, Velvet Brass will help dancers bring in the New Year on Saturday, December 31, from 8-midnight. Tim Patrick and His Blue Eyes band, will entertain dancers at the Sweetheart Dance on Feb 12. The Sammy Jensen Orchestra will play April 15. Sunday dances are from 3-7 p.m. We’ll bookend the season with two bonus dances with Julie Lee and the White Rose Band playing on Saturday, October 22, from 7-11 p.m. and again on May 6, 2012.

The Winter Dance Club was formed to bring year ‘round ballroom dancing to the area. Dances are spon-sored by the Lakeside Dance Club, which has been hosting ballroom dancing during the summer months for nearly three decades. Members assure a season of dancing by paying a single fee which funds all the scheduled dances. The public is welcome to attend. Lessons will be offered before some of the dances. The dress code is simple, no jeans or shorts. Email [email protected] to be notified of WDC dances and lessons.

Chris Ray has been writ-ing, performing and record-ing music for over 40 years. Wowed by the Beatles at age 13, he saved enough money to order his first guitar from the Montgomery Ward’s catalogue a year later. Before he could even play it, he was writing songs. Dozens of guitars and hundreds of songs later, Ray will perform at the Evansville Arts Cen-ter, downtown Evansville, on Friday, October 7, from 7:00 p.m. until 8:45 as part of EAC’s monthly 1st Friday Night Concerts. Please feel free to bring your favorite treats to share during in-termission and listen to the sounds of Chris Ray on his guitar. There is no admis-sion, but free will donations will be accepted.

Ray played in country and rock bands during the 70s and 80s including: “Homemade,” “Buckshot,” and “Ruckus.” Currently

The positive response from the “Trash to Trea-sure” Art exhibit has been so incredibly positive that I hope we can plan on the Hospital Auxiliary organiz-ing it on an annual basis. I was so overwhelmed by the extraordinary amount of creativity that our commu-nity showcased, as was the general public. To quote one viewer of the exhibit, “Well, people aren’t just sitting home doing nothing are they!”

I am inspired and motivated to create. I am going to do my very best to always look at things not as they are but as what they could be. This new think-ing process may require me to stand on my head a few minutes each day or perhaps sleep upside down in my bed, but bottom line, I am going to start thinking more creatively.

I realized that this book, in particular, was one I would like to flip back and forth in. So I ordered a copy from my favorite locally owned book store. Not only did I order one copy but two so that I could give one to my daughter because I thought the information was so im-portant. The more I read the more impressed I was so I ordered two more copies for a couple of good friends (I haven’t actually given them the books yet so this is giving it away a bit).

Rest assured there is also a copy in the library so if you are interested you too can check out this very informative book. The book is full of facts about the

ingredients in all types of makeup, shampoo, soap, and deodorant. The book also points you in the direction of safer alternatives and gives great tips on caring for your skin, hair, teeth, and body.

The library actually has a nice selection of books on cosmetics and skin care including: Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me” by Paula Begoun, Essen-tial Beauty: Using Nature’s Essential Oils to Rejuvenate, Replenish and Revitalize by Patricia Bett and David An-drusia, and A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingre-dients by Ruth Winter, along with a few others that I am sure you will find interesting and helpful.

We also subscribe to a number of magazines that pertain to health, fitness, and fashion, and you can check out magazines for a week at a time.

Please join on us on Thursday, October 13 from 4:00 to 6:30 to say thank you and goodbye to Pat Anderson.

“rocks their souls ‘til they feel good.” His natural stage presence is spell-binding and his music has the ability to absorb the audience; they see and hear nothing but Trent and his guitar.

Not only is this concert part of AC4TA’s Jazz and Blues Series, it is also the kick-off performance for the Legacy Destinations Week-end in Fergus Falls.

And speaking of the Jazz and Blues Series, mark your calendars now for the last two concerts. The eclectic out-of-this-world sounds of The Galactic Cowboy Orches-tra are featured on Saturday, Nov. 5. On Friday, Jan. 20, 2012, enjoy the classic early jazz tradition of the Butch Thompson Trio with blues, stomps, ragtime, and pop. Both concerts are at 7:30 p.m.

Meet Minnesota author and poet, Candace Simar, on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at the Evansville Art Center, downtown Evansville, at 10:00 a.m.—1:30 p.m. Simar, author of The Abercrombie Trail Series: Abercrombie Trail, Pomme de Terre, and Birdie, writes historical novels about Scandinavian immigrants in the 1862 Sioux Uprising and the decades fol-lowing. She will give a short reading and speak about her research and writing.

Larry McMurtry, Pulit-zer Prize winning author of Lonesome Dove, said “I read Pomme De Terre with the greatest interest and enjoy-ment. It’s a very vivid tell-ing of this tragic American story. I’ve long been wanting something in fiction about

Minnesota author, Candace Simar, at EAC

the Great Sioux Uprising, and this book is the best I’ve seen.”

For additional infor-mation regarding Candace Simar and her novels, please visit <www.candacesimar.com>.

Candace Simar

editor of the Grant County Herald in Elbow Lake, he recently took up the guitar again for solo sets at the Noon Hour Music Series, at Thorson Memorial Library, and the Sunday Music in the Park series, at Elbow Lake’s Veteran’s Park, as well as open mics around the area, including EAC’s monthly 3rd Thursday open mic nights.

Ray recorded a CD of new songs in 2001 titled “The Cruel North Wind,” and his Evansville set will include a number of songs from that CD, as well as material from his band days, some newly-penned tunes, as well as a smattering of songs by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Johnny Cash and others.

“My songs are about living in this country, fam-ily, children, grandchildren and loving,” said Ray. “In short, my songs are about the adventure of life.”

Katie Church is a former 4-H’er and current 4-H volunteer from Washington County, employed by AgStar Financial Services.

As a shy child scared of cows grazing in my own yard, no one would have guessed the path I would take in life. That is because the friends, family time and lessons I learned in 4-H shaped me into the person I am today.

My grandpa instilled a love of agriculture in me at a young age. Following him around the barn helping with daily chores, I learned early on what it meant to be dedicated to something—to fi nd something that you are passionate about and suc-ceed at doing it. I found what I wanted to be passionate about through University of Minnesota Extension’s 4-H program.

I joined my cousins in 4-H when I was in fi rst grade. As I grew, 4-H volunteers and projects helped me fi nd my niche and focus on my strengths. I developed a love of leadership, planning and, oddly enough, public speaking, all while becoming more confi dent.

My favorite 4-H projects involved livestock. While caring for my animals, I learned dedication, hard work, responsibility and determination. I also learned about fi nancial management, how to deal with situations when things don’t go as planned, and how to deal with life and death—important lessons that can’t be learned in a classroom.

I studied Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, which I had been introduced to through 4-H. Looking for ways to stay involved in 4-H, I joined the livestock judging team and took an internship coordinating 4-H livestock shows at the Minnesota State Fair. Through these experiences, I discovered new ways to be involved in the agriculture industry, and decided to explore agricultural business.

Following graduation, I was hired by AgStar Financial Services, a proud supporter of the 4-H program. The skills learned through 4-H helped me build a strong resume and earn a job with a company that is a strong advocate for 4-H and agriculture. I realized my life experiences were coming full circle when I decided to volunteer for 4-H to help give today’s youth the same opportunities I had.

Oct. 2-8, 2011, is National 4-H Week. 4-H youth, volunteers and other support-ers throughout Minnesota will be celebrating how 4-H is making a difference in their lives and communities.

If you aren’t familiar with 4-H in your area, I encourage you to fi nd out about it. Start by visiting <www.extension.umn.edu/youth/mn4-H>. You’ll discover a youth development program that offers learning opportunities in science and technology, creative arts, leadership and much more.

4 Kinds of 4-H Clubs!4-H Clubs give youth a feeling of belonging

and a chance to learn about things that interest them. The club experience is long term (a year or more), fun, intense, and has a big impact on members. Clubs are organized; youth officers elected, and are run by youth for youth, with adult leadership guidance. 4-H Clubs can be formed in communities or neighborhoods, or at after-school programs; with kids who have the same interests; or with other organizations in apartment complexes, housing developments, parks, or com-munity centers. You may also be an independent, meaning you don't have to join a particular club. Community, after-school, site-based, or a project club-you decide what club type is best for you! 4-H Membership does not cost anything; just fill out an enrollment form on-line. Our county 4-H Federation pays for registration fees for all local, regional, and state 4-H camps and activities for your child to attend. Take advantage now of these FREE activities for your child!

4-H Adventures4-H Adventures let kids try things in fun,

short-term events without formally joining clubs. It's a chance to try something new and connect with other kids. 4-H Adventures may be at day camps, parks, after-school sites, or unique fa-cilities. Check the University of MN website at www.extension.umn.edu (click on Offices, then choose Grant County), watch local newspapers, community education, or check with the Exten-sion office monthly for upcoming adventures! You never know where a 4-H Adventure might show up! Kids don‘t have to be members to participate; 4-H events are always open to all youth! We have after school club adventures in Ashby, Elbow Lake, and Herman-Norcross school locations—no cost to participate!

What is 4-H in Grant County?

4-H Adventures, Camps, After School & Safety Programs: We provide many learning opportunities to develop lifetime skills such as: Adventures in learn-ing day camps covering different project areas each time, holiday baking, babysitting clinic, shooting sports/wildlife training, bicycle safety, gun safety, pet safety & care, in school enrichment (such as Eddie Eagle Gun Safe), 2 county-wide Make n Take Days, Conservation Day camp, ATV Safety and training, special age-appropriate events like our ‘Kids vs. Wild’ Camping adventure, Traveling Fun Festival and Expo, Critter Camp, Shooting Sports/Wildlife Rendezvous, club activities, tours, and community service projects. We also offer training to our Volunteer Leaders, and a special club officer training each year. Regional events include a 3-day camp for 4-6th graders, one day camp for 3-4th graders, B.L.U. and YELLO state and regional events for Youth Leaders, Safety Day Camp for 5th graders, and Livestock Quality and Assurance training. Before the fair we offer Clothing Day, and Demonstration Day. The opportunities are endless, and the outcomes are priceless. Again, many of the events and camps are FREE to 4-H members!

Grant County and MN State Fair: fashion review, project exhibits, judging events and interviewing, demonstrations, horse & livestock shows, showman-ship, herdsmanship, fundraising (4-H Foodstand), discovery day for pre-schoolers. Winners at county fair have the opportunity to attend the Minnesota State Fair or the State 4-H Horse Show with their exhibits, and to participate in other state fair fun!

Special recognition, awards, and achievements: In 4-H every member has the opportunity to feel valued and recognized! All exhibitors receive ribbons and cash. Blue Ribbon animal project winners may participate in the Blue Ribbon Auction at the fair and receive cash for their animal projects. At our an-nual achievement banquet, they are again recognized and receive awards. The clubs and leaders are also recognized for their accomplishments.
