The New School Initiative is gaining momentum with the district seeking architectural proposals from eight regional firms. The action comes following direction from both the community and recommendations from an in-depth study by the Joint Facilities Task Force, which shows the “Yes Campaign” the clear front-runner effort for the districts future.

Having received six proposals for the project, the school board voted Monday, October 17, to narrow the field to three regional finalists, including Armstrong Torseth Skold & Rydeen Inc. (Minneapolis), TSP (Rochester), and Wold Architects & Engineers (St.

Paul). The three were chosen following careful analysis by ICS Consultants’ Gary Benson and Pat Overem, as well as review and input by board representatives to the Task Force and Superintendent Chuck Ehler.

The finalists are scheduled to be interviewed by board members and district staff October 24 and 27, with a finalist chosen 7:00 pm, Thursday. Members of the Facilities Task Force will be asked to sit in on the interviews and potentially rank the finalists to assist the board’s decision.

“They did the bulk of the work,” noted Ehler, referring to the Task Force.

“I’d like to keep them a part of the process,” added board See R-P Page 2 

Preston to fill council vacancy by appointment

By K aren R eisner kreisner@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Preston City Council at their October 17 meeting decided to fill the council vacancy by appointment created by the recent passing of councilman Dr. Robert Sauer. Dr. Sauer had a little over a year left of a four year term.

Mayor Kurt Reicks reminded the council of the time and dollar cost of a special election.

City Administrator Joe Hoffman explained that with less than two years remaining, state statute does not require a special

Interested Preston citizens over 21 years of age are asked to submit a letter of interest to city hall by 10:00 a.m. Friday, November 4. The sitting four member council will appoint one person out of those that have submitted a letter. That person will serve for the remainder of Dr. Sauer’s term.

Variance approved under new standard

By Karen Reisner A variance was unanimously approved by the Fillmore County Board of Adjustment at their October 20 meeting for Truman and Patricia Dahl.

The variance will allow the couple to build a garage 12 foot closer to the center line of a public road than is required by the Fillmore County Zoning Ordinance 604.05 (2) (a). The couple is located in Section 3, Norway Township.

member John Nitecki.

Also a part of the process, Ehler, Nitecki, and board member Angela Colbenson met with Representative Greg Davids recently to bolster support of the initiative. Davids was informed about district difficulties and objectives and ultimately asked for his assistance in making it as successful as possible. The district intends to meet with other legislators as it seeks state funding for the project.

The board intends to bring forth a referendum, for the construction of a new early

This is the first variance to be granted by the Board of Adjustment under the new variance criteria, “practical difficulties.”

childhood through grade 12 facility, in 2012. As it’s currently written, the referendum would call for the district to borrow $8,900,000 for the purpose of supporting funds it hopes to secure through a Cooperative Facilities Grant in the amount of $20 million.

In other news, the district received a summary of its annual audit from Kimberley Hillberg of Larson Allen.

According to Hillberg, the district has an effectively operating program. “You’ve got a good thing going here,” she noted. “It’s clear the bulk of your dollars are being spent in the classroom.”

There were no big faults

for the district, and a healthy general fund balance, but that didn’t stop the board from questioning how the district might fare and make improvements for the future. “Give us the doom and gloom,” asked Nitecki, “How do we compare with other trends in the state?”

Hillberg explained that the majority of districts she sees are either digging into their fund balances or have a balance, but no cash in reserve, forcing them to borrow as tax shifts hit and state aid is cut. She believes having an assigned fund balance set aside allows the district flexibility as the state “is constantly tracking down the same road.”

C ommentary The Great Divide

By Andrew Kingsley Campaign season for both parties is definitely underway. It seems they start earlier every time around.

Both sides will attempt to define the parameters of the race, but it appears the Democrats have the edge on taking the Andrew offensive. PresKingsley ident Obama and his party have already made it clear that class warfare will be the focus of this election. It may actually be a good political “play” for them; to attempt to pit the majority against a guaranteed minority.

After all, the “rich” will always be a minority, as what defines them as rich is having more than the average person. Although, it is difficult for even we poor in this country to deny being obscenely “rich” by any world or historical standard.

It is disappointing to see politicians put campaigning before their elected jobs, earlier every election season. It is much more disappointing to see how modern politicians take advantage of their elected positions to support their campaigning.

Our recent and current presidential administrations have shown no shame in this regard. Putting campaigning ahead of difficult decision making and hard work perfectly outlines the problems our politicians have plagued this nation with.

The Democrats’ class warfare scheme seems genius, in a way.

Political races in our times have been fought by one side first artificially defining the battle in a way they believe gives them an advantage, while the second side then gets stuck trying to fight on the first side’s terms; a losing battle for all of us. Why do the two sides get away with this? Simple. There is only two sides. There is no shortEditorial Cartoon

age of anger, frustration, or contempt amongst us. Even the foolish politicians who have created these problems with their empty promises and over-reaching are smart enough to know that at all costs, the focus of political races must not be themselves.

If we made our politicians and both political parties the focus of elections, none of them ,could get elected in the first place. They know this. That is why when we look to them they point their finger away at someone or something else and proclaim,”There! Over there!

That is the problem!” Both sides must do this, for both sides have done the exact same things, when given the power. Truly, no distinguishable difference can be made in recent times, between Democrat and Republican rule. They both have spent way more than we have, promised what cannot be given, infringed further upon civil liberties, and progressively increased their own power. If you were them, would you want to be the focus?

So long as we keep our current system of only two sides, they are guaranteed to keep this game alive and their power intact. As it is now, when people are unhappy, they blame the side in power. This disenchantment gives the other side an opportunity to take over, as they are the only other choice. When they do take over and the people don’t like the results, the first side can take over again. The final and fatal flaw of this cycle is inflicted when both sides start marching the same direction down the field, as they now do.

If there were more than two sides or no sides at all, Truth could be the sole determining factor of our elections. But don’t expect those in power now to change anything for you, as their power has been derived from that very same fruitless and detrimental cycle. They have nothing to gain by changing the status quo, and everything to lose by

allowing any actual change.

Sadly, not even a third political party would probably change this. It would only make our losing game a three way dispersion, instead of a two way. The goal would still be to divide us against one another, just in three ways, rather than two. Political parties divide, every time. They must, in order to exist. For if we cared only for the best ideas, character, and truth, the single relevant party would be “us.” Worse yet, parties constrain our choices. There are an infinite number of ways to think about an almost infinite number of issues. Why then, would any Free people be so thoughtless as to constrict that number of choices down to three or two, let alone one, as we now do? And one option, my friends, leaves you with no options.

So long as we have the Democrats and Republicans in power, the status quo is the only option we have.

They, themselves, provide all the necessary proof to make the case.

People are more than unhappy right now and many are rightfully worried about what’s happening in this country and around the world. There is no easier time to divide a people than when they are scared. Fear has been building in this country, as warning signs of what consequences lie ahead become more and more undeniable. Both sides seek to segregate and capitalize on your fears. In proportion to the duration and depth of our division is the sum of our losses. But what is a person to think when we start owing more in interest payments than our entire budget was, not long ago? What is a person to do when they fear their way of life is at stake? What is a person to think when no matter how much money we print and spend to “fix” things, no problems get solved? With such scale of problems as we face, the “blame game” is more than tempting, even without the parties’ prodding.

Maybe we should start by recognizing that no problem is ever

solved without pain. Have you ever overcome anything difficult in your life without any pain? Printing more money to fulfill our politicians’ empty promises is the ultimate manifestation of our desired “painless” solutions. Every dollar we print, devalues the one in your pocket. In this very real way, printing money is actually a tax on every person, as the money they have means less and the goods and services they buy cost more. It is the ultimate in regressive taxation, as those with the least always pay the highest price for this. This is not even to mention that we are charging that very same dollar we just printed, with interest, to our children and grandchildren; without their consent. Talk about taxation without representation!

This brings us to the Democrat’s current campaign strategy: create an enemy which is a guaranteed and envied minority, point, distract and divide. Mostly, pretend money is the problem and the answer.

Don’t get it wrong, both sides have printed money we don’t have to uphold their promises, but many Democrats actually openly propose more promises, spending, and printing of money we don’t have as a legitimate solution. The Republicans are perhaps even more devious than that. They disingenuously pretend to be against unsustainable fiscal practices, yet do the very opposite whenever given the power.

At least the Democrats don’t hide from their belief in unsustainable solutions. None of the money printed so far has solved anything, but it certainly has deepened our problems. How can printing and promising even more solve anything then? Is not the definition of insanity repeating the same thing over and over, while expecting a different result?

Nonetheless, the Democrats will attempt to blame our current situation on the rich. We just haven’t taxed them enough yet. If we only taxed them more, your problems would be solved. They must “pay their fair share!” Catchy, isn’t it? We know they’ll never be the majority. So let’s blame them. It should be easy to gather a majority out of pitting 90 percent of us against 10 percent of us. Their

plan is so good, it will probably work. But what if you found out that our problems were so huge that you could tax 100 percent of those richest 10 percent, and only pay for mere months of our current spending levels? What if you found out that raising taxes on the rich and corporations actually cost you more than them? Would “tax the rich,” still sound like an actual solution, or just an effective campaign strategy?

You aren’t naïve enough to believe that the rich and powerful will just simply accept the raising of taxes infringing on their bottom line are you? Do you actually believe they’ll just accept making less money?

I have had both the educational and not so enjoyable experience of personally dealing closely with a couple of big corporations in the past. Let me assure you that when the cost of doing business goes up, those at the top do NOT make less. The rising costs and taxes are ALWAYS ultimately passed down the line to the consumer; you and I. This is why there are so many hidden and embedded costs in every good and service you purchase, without any awareness of it.

We cannot take more from the rich without paying for it ourselves. We cannot end the “rich” altogether, as there will always be those who have more than others even in poverty. “Rich/wealthy” is always relative to the average person’s status. If you seek to end people “being rich,” the only way is to destroy everyone’s wealth, as we are now doing. But how does that help any of us?

While we devalue our currency and cause inflation with our printing of money, our high wages and See DIVIDE Page 5 

C ommentary the disposal of the parasitical lobbyists and increasingly powerful politicians. This is why all taxation is always regressive, both in reality and ideology.

Don’t fall for their ploys. Don’t let them continue dividing us, for their gains. Our problems cannot be solved by most of us taking more from a few of us. Our problems cannot be solved by turning on one another, as the Republicans and Democrats seek to instigate.

Your cost of living will not go down by choosing to perpetuate

the very causes of its increase, as they would somehow have you believe. These causes of universally negative consequence: the printing of money to uphold unsustainable promises/commitments, massive government/bureaucracy/regulation, and any raising of any taxes; will only deepen the roots of our problems, as they are the seeds they originally sprouted from.

101 S. Mill St., Rushford, MN 55971 Saturday 5:30 pm & Sunday 9:00 am Worship • 10:05 am Sunday School & Adult Bible Study Rushford Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). Our call to worship and stewardship has been strong since 1855. We invite you to worship with us on Saturday evenings at 5:30 p.m. or Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. Adult Bible studies and Family Education meet each Sunday morning at 10:05, or members join for coffee and fellowship during that time.

The youth, men, and women do several stewardship projects during the year raising money for worthwhile projects for missions. Our youth take part in Feed My Starving Children, a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s hungry children. Each year they also do a Walk for Charity which is decided on a yearly basis where their funds will be given. In past years, they have given to Habitat for Humanity, Walk for Hunger, and to help rebuild Creekside Park, damaged in the flood of 2007.

Rushford Lutheran Church Men meet on Wednesday mornings for devotions and work projects. The money they raise at their famous Codfish and Meatball Supper, Saturday, November 5, funds many worthwhile projects in the community.

The Rushford Lutheran Church Women continue to quilt, assemble kits for Lutheran World Relief kits, and crochet prayer shawls. They also have begun making diapers for Bundles of Joy. They work hard throughout the year baking and cooking for their Bazaar, Saturday, November 12. Each spring and fall they host a delicious salad luncheon.

Rushford Lutheran Church is people gathered by God’s word and sacraments and sent to make Christ known to all persons and to serve all people.

ELECTION

Continued from Page 8 Gaddis has two grown children, and has lived in Rushford the last four years. She is a selfemployed web designer. Prior to that work, she had a lot of experience in business, marketing, and computers. She has been attending city council meetings and keeping track of things

through newspapers and the web site to stay on top of what’s going on in Rushford.

Gaddis is excited about the idea of being on the council.

“It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the town itself and get to know people and how the government operates. It will be a great experience.”

Les Ladewig registered to be a candidate for city council, but

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Whatever the residents of Rushford decide, there is work ahead to do for their town. The liquor store, if reopened, will need to make money instead of lose money for Rushford. Controversial financial decisions will have to be made in the next two years, and the residents will decide who has the most skill and experience to help move them in the right direction.

“I think I can bring some leadership,” he said. “Rushford needs to keep moving forward and get through this time of economic uncertainty.”

Ladewig has lived in Rushford with his family since 1970. He has two daughters and a son who are grown and live in the area with their families. For more than 31 years he worked for the Minnesota State Patrol.

his phone number was inadvertently left off. Because of this, the application was not accepted. His name will not be on the ballot, and he is running as a write-in.

Ladewig was the mayor when Rushford went through the flood in 2007. He enjoyed being mayor, and would like to have a part in the council once again.

Fillmore County Sports Trojans Out-Jockey Lions

By Paul Trende Post-season seeding was on the line as the R-P Trojans hosted Spring Grove in a non-conference VB affair of quality sectional adversaries. The Lions entered sitting tied for 2nd in the SEC (15-7 overall).

R-P sat in 6th place in the Three Rivers (18-12 overall). Both teams entered on streaks, SG taking 8 of 9, R-P seven in a row. Set one was crisply played and laden with kills.

The Trojans’ simply were more powerful and proficient (at a 15 to 7 clip). They also took the final five points enroot to a 25-17 victory.

Game two saw R-P notch another points-streak, eight straight, turning a 10-9 deficit into a 17-10 lead.

SG responded though late, turning a 24-20 R-P-lead into a 24-all tie.

But an SG serving error and a Sierra McNamer block led to R-P celebration (26-24, 2-0). The Lions could’ve packed it in at that point, but they battled. The 3rd installment saw 12 ties. The Lions wound up with a 25-22 victory. Game four saw R-P start quickly (4-1). SG countered with a 7-0 spurt, jumping ahead 9-6. R-P then went 9-3 to take a 15-12 lead. From there they held, led in attacking (oddly) by Cody Manfull and Mariah Muller (rather than Kenzie Lind or Amy Todd). They took game four 25-18 and the match 3-1. Lind and Todd were big on offense (22 and 20 kills respectively) and defense (22

and 14 digs respectively). Kendra Crawford led R-P with 24 downand-got-it’s. Emily Culhane had 43 here-you-go’s. SG’s Richell Mehus had 15 kills and 29 digs in defeat.

R-P previously held a 1-1 (tournament) victory over the Lions. The Trojans (4-5, 19-12) are in 6th place in Three Rivers.

Revenge Fillmore Central and Chatfield competed in an epic 5-set volleyball affair on September 20, one that ended with a Gopher victory.

The (non-conference) re-match in Chatfield, though 66.6% hotly competed, and featuring teams tied for 4th in the Three Rivers, wasn’t so long. One squad appeared primed for the post-season, the other in limbo. Set one saw FC hold three 6-point leads before Chatfield engineered a 7-0 run to go ahead 18-17. The Goph’s were one point away from a win at 24-23, but Taylor Case (kill) denied them. The Gophers were nearly one point away again. Kenna Moechnig seemingly slammed down a point (to give Chat a 25-24 lead), but she was called for a net violation giving the Falcons a 25-24 lead. FC then got set point from Alex Peterson (26-24). Game two wasn’t so close.

FC led wire-to-wire, prevailing easily 25-15. Chatfield led the 3rd set early 6-2, but the later portion saw nine ties including 23-all. A Chatfield return error and, poeti-

cally, an Alex Peterson kill later, that was that. A more alert and quicker recovering FC team got their revenge 3-0, their 21st victory of the season. Peterson’s 14 kills led everyone. Case added 11 plus a team-high 15 digs. Morgan Malley set the table nicely with 28 assists.

Moechnig and Maddy Kammer each had 9 kills in defeat. The win is FC’s 4th straight and 14th in 16 tries. It was the Gopher’s 4th straight defeat.

Uphill Battle In big games, it helps when little things go right; you get a friendly bounce, a lucky break, a helpful penalty, good field position. In the showdown of newly anointed #6(A) Fillmore Central and #7(AA) Caledonia, it was the later that didn’t go the Falcons way. Things started great. Tanner Ristau took the opening kickoff 82-yards to the Warrior 10. A play later, FC was at the one. Three plays later, Caledonia’s offense was coming onto the field. Their defense had held. A fumble on the Warrior’s drive got FC going again, to the one again. They only got a field goal (3-0 lead). From there, the Falcons fought uphill against field position. They started inside the 20 on six consecutive possessions (average, the 9 yard-line). Caledonia’s worst starting position over that span was their own 43 (average, the FC 45). The Falcon offense couldn’t flip the field, and/or, the Warrior defense wouldn’t allow it.

The absence of RB Tyler Eickhoff (injured in the 1st quarter) certainly didn’t help. FC’s defense also couldn’t get a turnover. Meanwhile, the Warrior ‘O’ was methodical and persistent. They got a 5-yard Matt Peterson TD run to go up 7-3, and a 10-yard Kennan Bruening to Houston Halverson TD pass to lead 14-3 at the half. FC only got a field position reprieve early in the 4th. An FC drive beginning at the 49 was capped when Andy Todd hit Mitch Johnson from 15 yards out. With two-point conversion, the scoreboard shone 14-11 with 6:39 left. The Falcon ‘D’ needed a stop. The Warrior ‘O’ pounded the football, impressively. Ten running plays later, it was 3rd and 2 from the FC 9. QB Bruening took the snap, went right, then cut up inside, executing the ‘keeper’ portion of his option-read. He found paydirt, icing the game (21-11), and putting Caledonia in the driver’s seat for anther conference title. Bruening

finished with 21 carries for 122 and a TD. He tossed for another score. The Warriors won time of possession by a wide margin. Their was a large discrepancy in rushing yardage; FC had 73 to Caledonia’s 285. In fact, Ristau (a slot receiver) was FC’s top runner with 3 carries for 31 yards. Johnson led in receiving with 5 for 45. FC moves to 6-1 (3-1), tied with Southland for 2nd in the South.

Confident in the Kicker In college or the pros, playing for game-winning short field goals is common. Kickers at those levels are generally proficient from PAT distances. Playing for gamewinning short field goals in high school isn’t quite so sure-fire. It certainly doesn’t happen routinely.

Yet, when Chatfield drove the ball down the field on Kingsland in the final minutes of their Three Rivers South affair, attaining the five-yard line (following nice runs

by Justin Viss and Jake Peterson), that’s exactly what Gopher coach Jeff Johnson seemingly did. It didn’t backfire. Senior Matt Salerno booted a 22-yarder (fighting a steady wind) with 11 seconds left, turning a 16-15 deficit into an 18-16 win. It culminated a night that saw the home Gophers turn the ball over five times. Chatfield also withstood Knight Sam Eberle’s every last attempt at leading his team to victory. The senior threw Kingsland’s first TD (an 8-yarder) to Devin Pokorney. He intercepted Nate Skare twice, the second late

in the 4th quarter. That turnover led to Kingsland’s second score.

Naturally it was a 2-yard Eberle run (that, with a 2-point conversion, put the Knights in the lead). Sam was the black and silver’s leading receiver (29 yards) and rusher (57 yards).

But it wasn’t enough, as Chatfield got 100-plus yard rushing evenings from Peterson (20 for 126, 2 TD’s) and Viss (11-105). They out-gained the Knights by 100 yards. They improved their record to 4-3 overall (2-2 in the South). Kingsland drops to 2-5 (0-4 in the South).

www.fillmorecentral.k12.mn.us The Fillmore Central 6th grade students had the opportunity to attend the Forestville Conservation Tour.

The Conservation Tour has many stations that inform the students about a variety of topics.

This year the students were able to learn about Historic Forestville and how this area has changed over time.

They were able to explore water samples to learn about how pollution

effects the creatures living in the water. One of the presentations helped the students better understand the recycling process. The students learned what is important for trees and plant life to survive and flourish.

There was a high power voltage demonstration given by Tri-County Electric. The students learned about the duties of the Fillmore County Conservation Officer. They were

taught facts about timber rattle snakes and had the opportunity to handle a live garter snake. Fillmore Central was given a donation from the Preston Fire Department to help offset the bussing costs, which was greatly appreciated! Thanks to all of the volunteers who participated in this event along with the chaperones who helped with our classes.

Thank You First Southeast Bank-Harmony, First State Bank-Fountain and F&M Community Bank - Preston!

On October 14, Matt Benson, a firefighter with the Preston Fire Department, was gracious enough to take time out of his day to bring one of the firetrucks to school and do a mini lesson with the Preschoolers, Kindergarteners and First Graders for Fire Safety Week. The children got to see the special clothes he has to wear and Matt, bless his heart, put them on six times! We were all shivering in the wind and he was sweating. The clothes weigh approximately 60+ lbs. The children also got to hear him breathe and talk with the air mask so they would know what it looked and sounded like. It’s great for the children to be able to see that in case they are ever

Kingsland School Board discusses changes in property tax law

By Kevin Blanchard The Kingsland School board discussed the impact that the changes in the homestead residential market value may have on taxpayers in the school district at their meeting Monday, October 17.

The 2011 Minnesota Legislature repealed the homestead residential market value credit and enacted a similarly designed homestead market value exclusion. This change is effective for taxes payable in 2012.

Local governments will receive the full amount that they levy from their taxpayers. The state may receive additional tax revenues

from some property owners.

“The homestead market value credit has been replaced with the homestead market value exclusion,” Superintendent John McDonald said. “The exclusion reduces the taxable value of qualifying homesteads. Despite the decreased taxable value, taxes will increase on most properties including apartments and businesses.”

“The increase has nothing to do with referendums or tax levies under our control,” McDonald said. “This is a law that the legislature passed this past summer to solve the budget crisis.”

“This is really going to hurt

rural Minnesota,” board member Doug Plaehn said.

In other action, the board approved a security system from Custom Alarm of Rochester. They were the overall low bid at $9,300 for installation and $20 per month for monitoring. They also offered the first three months of monitoring at no charge.

The Truth in Taxation hearing for the proposed 2012 levy will be held on December 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the district conference room.

The next school board meeting will be Monday, November 21 at 7 p.m. in the district conference room.

Food For Life

By Jade Wangen

Pumpkin Muffins October is my favorite month. The cooler weather means I feel like making homemade soup, and I feel like baking again. It also means I am in the mood for pumpkin.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I am a big fan of scary movies, and have been watching them since I was a little kid. I love seeing people all dressed up, and I love taking my kids trick-ortreating. They love it, too, but I think it’s mostly because of the candy. But, really, who doesn’t want to dress up and be someone else, even for a little while? It’s a chance to be creative, expressive, and have fun.

As a child I loved dressing up for Halloween, but I wasn’t very creative. I was a gypsy three years in a row. I remember being a ghost, covered with a white sheet with holes cut out for my eyes. I remember wearing an uncomfortable plastic Strawberry Shortcake mask that I could barely see through. But it was always worth it.

This time of year I tend to go crazy with cans of pumpkin. In the past I have made pumpkin bread, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin oatmeal cookies, pumpkin

muffins, pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes, pumpkin bars, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin cheesecakes…you get the idea.

This year I have a new recipe I can’t wait to try out for a pumpkin gingerbread with spiced butter cream frosting.

Oh, yeah. It’s real. And how can it not be delicious?

These muffins truly live up to their name. I have read a lot of recipes that are called things like “OMG the Best Brownies Ever, I Swear!” or “You Will Never Need Another Chocolate Cookie Recipe Because This is the Greatest!” but this one is truly the best pumpkin recipe I have ever tried. I love making muffins, because they are delicious, there are so many different kinds to make, and they are sweet, but not overly sweet like a cupcake.

The last time I made these, I made mini muffins, and my life has never been the same.

When they are small, you can have more, right? But still, remember moderation. This is not fat free sugar free health food here. Just an occasional treat. Even though pumpkin is a vegetable.

The Best Pumpkin Muffins

1 ¾ cup flour 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp nutmeg ¼ tsp ground ginger ¼ tsp ground allspice 1/8 tsp ground cloves 1 cup pureed pumpkin ½ cup milk ½ cup vegetable oil (can be replaced part or in full with unsweetened applesauce) 2 tbsp molasses Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a twelve-muffin tin. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, soy milk, oil, and molasses. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix. Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

We know that sometimes life deals us a bum rap, situations can occur that we have little or no control over financially. In today’s ever-changing economic cycle, job challenges arise that may have caused financial hardships or unexpected medical emergencies may have dealt an unfair blow. As much as we try, sometimes it is very difficult to rebound from unexpected or outof-control finances without help or understanding from some outside source.

We want that opportunity to help.

Re-establishing credit can be as important as buying a car. We have lenders working right now to finalize loans.

Let’s see how this program works: From the start, our customers are under no obligation to enter this program, they can say no at any time. This program is designed to reestablish their credit in as short a period of time as possible.

Other dealerships offer “Buy Here - Pay Here” operations. Generally, you buy a vehicle they want to get rid of, and no credit is established since they do not report to the credit bureau (unless payments are not made) and there are no warranties or guarantees. If credit is established, it’s only with

Bad Credit

them so people are trapped inside their spiral of driving less than desirable vehicles and never improving their credit situation, which is the primary mission in this venture.

At Zumbrota Ford, we offer all of our customers the opportunity to drive the vehicle that is right for them. We only use lenders that help re-establish your credit on 1998 and newer models, that meet the conditioning and mileage criteria of the lenders. Many of these vehicles have remaining factory warranties and are eligible for an extended service contract. After paying on this vehicle, credit will be reestablished, provided payments have been maintained current on it and all your other credit obligations.

Do you have: 1. A full-time job?

2. $1,300 gross monthly income?

3. Stable residence?

4. Down payment or trade?

5. Past credit problems with a drive to re-establsh credit?

If so, we would like the opportunity to help you. Call 1-800-757-3080, ask for Brent or Greg for a completely confidential interview and drive home in your next automobile or truck form Zumbrota Ford tomorrow.

Grazing crop residues Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Now that corn harvest is well underway, I have started to see beef cows grazing harvested corn fields. I started to say cornstalks, but 12% of the residue is husk, 27% is leaf, and 12% cob. So there is much more than just stalks, and I’m not counting any dropped ears of corn that are gleaned.

Nut r it ion- Jerrold Tesmer ally, the leaf and husk both have high digestibility.

Iowa State University Beef Cattle data indicates that for each acre of corn stalks grazed, approximately ½ ton of hay will be saved. Crop residues are normally the least expensive feed source, because most expenses are charged against the row crop enterprise.

In the Midwest, corn crop residue will feed animals for an average of 65 to 111 days depending on weight gains needed to obtain the desired body condition. Low supplementation may be necessary in some cases.

Livestock select the residue with the highest digestibili-

ty first, so supplementation beyond trace minerals salt and vitamin A are not likely to be necessary the first month. As winter progresses and residue quality decreases, additional supplementation may be necessary.

Before grazing crop residue fields, it is important to check the labels of any pesticides used on the crop to see if they are cleared for grazing.

Also, check the fencelines and waterways for poisonous plants.

Research conducted at several Midwestern universities show no difference in the performance of cattle that grazed Bt corn crop residue and those that grazed non-Bt corn crop residue. Research has also been conducted to determine if grazing crop residue has any affect on the yield the following year. Corn and soybeans have shown similar yields, particularly if grazed when soils are frozen.

Soybean stubble is low in quality and cannot provide adequate nutrition for beef cows or stockers. It should not be used as a feed source unless supplemented substantially.

Goal Setting

By Mitchell Walbridge Goal setting. It is one of the most valuable lessons you will learn and develop throughout your life. We start setting goals for ourselves back in element a r y school when our teachers ask, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” As Mitchell many chilWalbridge dren answer a teacher, a police officer, or even the President of the United States, they are already setting their very first goals. We even set goals for ourselves when we are not thinking about them. Goal setting can be a powerful tool in being successful and living an enjoyable life. And when we are conscious about setting high standards and reasonable goals, we can achieve things that we may not have even imagined.

A little over a year ago as I was getting ready to enter my junior year, I was thinking about what career path I would like to follow in the future years of my life. I knew I was interested in writing and English. I was also very interested in current events

and the news. I realized journalism was a good mixture of both areas. Getting some experience in the field was my objective, so I began scanning local newspapers for youth internships. This was when I came across an advertisement in the Fillmore County Journal seeking freelance writers. Before I knew it, I was covering school board meetings and writing columns similar to this one. When I first started, I remember my nerves caused me to think to myself, “What I write better be good, it’s actually for a large audience of readers. How am I going to do this?” Looking back on those days now, I can tell you that I learned to set goals. Meeting deadlines, writing drafts, and prioritizing tasks were all achieved through goal setting. To this day I constantly set personal goals: at work, at school, and when I write.

Now that we are into the second month of our new academic year and my last year of high school, my goal list is more extensive than it has ever been before.

Establishing college plans and focusing on my advanced and post-secondary classes all take a considerable amount of effort.

Each day I fill out a special designated notebook of what I wish to get accomplished … Some may consider this a bit obsessive, but it keeps me organized.

A few years ago, Lanesboro

High School started a new homeroom program that focuses on instructing positive initiatives to students. Repeatedly, a lesson on goal building has shown up during these sessions.

Even last week we were having a discussion on identifying our goals and how we were going to achieve them. This is especially important to me and my fellow seniors. Take advantage of lessons such as these and begin

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

practicing setting goals. Everyone should consider goal setting as a daily exercise.

For those who are in need of a little inspiration, I will use a quote that I discovered as a freshman in my life skills class

by William Arthur Ward: “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” Ever since I found that quote on December 10, 2008, I can consider it to

Page 21

be very inspirational. Anytime I need some inspiration, I look at my bulletin board and read this all-important quote. Practice goal setting in your day to day activities and be proud of your accomplished achievements.

Mitchell Walbridge is a student at Lanesboro High School.

He is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its thirteenth year.

Fillmore Central Elementary receives grant from Preston Area Community Foundation Dwight Luhmann, President of the Preston Area Community Foundation, presents a $600 check to Taryn Raaen, a fifth grader at Fillmore Central. The funds were used to purchase junior size tennis rackets and low-bounce balls for the Fillmore Central Elementary physical education program.

According to Diane Hadoff, Fillmore Central physical education teacher, the rackets will be used by students in grades three through six. Hadoff introduced

those students to tennis last year and observed that many of them had difficulty with the adult size rackets from the high school.

“The Foundation is very pleased to be able to assist the elementary school and students with this project,” said Luhmann.

“I’m personally excited that the students are being introduced to a sport they will be able to play throughout their lives. Our tennis courts are a community asset that provide a venue for positive,

physical activity for people of all ages.”

The Preston Area Community Foundation awards grants to local projects which is made possible by support received from individuals, corporations and foundations. These grants are used to further the mission of the Preston Foundation, which is to serve the greater Preston area by supporting programs and projects that improve the quality of life and build a stronger community.

For more information about the Preston Area Foundation, contact President Dwight Luhmann at 507.765.3862 during the day or 507.765.3348 in the evenings.

Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation celebrates 25 years This year marks Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation’s (SMIF) twenty-fifth year of service to southern Minnesota communities and businesses. The Foundation formally celebrated this milestone with local partners at its 2011 Annual Luncheon, October 13, at the Owatonna Country Club.

“This is truly a memorable milestone for us,” stated Tim Penny, SMIF President and CEO. “During the past 25 years, SMIF has established itself in the region as a powerful resource, while contributing over $45 million to hundreds of community projects and programs which have touched all 20 counties in our southern Minnesota region.”

The spirit of this year’s luncheon theme, “Celebrating 25 Years of Investing in Southern Minnesota’s Future,” was captured by Master of Ceremonies Sen. Kathy Sheran, a former SMIF board member and Mankato resident.

To celebrate 25 years of partnerships, SMIF named the recipients of eight outstanding Partner Awards. Capstone Publishing, IBM Corporation, and ServeMinnesota received Early Childhood Partner Awards. Mayo Clinic received the Leadership Award, Tom Rosen received the Entrepreneur Partner Award, Neil and Sue Eckles and Phil and Barb Henoch received Philanthropy Partner Awards, and Southwest Initiative Foundation received the Partner of the Year Award.

At the luncheon, SMIF also announced that the Agripreneurs Incubator, a project of the Rural Enterprise Center in Northfield received the inaugural One Big Thing grant award of $100,000. This grant will help Latino families establish their own farming businesses.

Lanesboro School Board hears about reading curriculum

By Jade Wangen Special Education teacher Hollie Clarke spoke to the Lanesboro School Board about a curriculum that she has been using with great success called Read Well. She explained that there are three reading levels; kindergarten, first and second grade, but she has students in first through fourth grade using it.

“It’s intended to be an intervention,” said Clarke. She said it is used for eight students in special ed. and nine students in regular education who need the intervention support.

Lanesboro received the first level from a grant three years ago, and then purchased another level last year. Right now they have the kindergarten level on loan from the education district.

Clarke said she loves this curriculum for many reasons, but especially because it assesses students as they go, and she is able to tell if the student is passing in fluency and comprehension.

Clarke also said that she has about 20 students in Special Ed.

and she can’t see all of them every day. She is still able to know exactly what they are working on with this curriculum, and she can give direction to the paraprofessionals.

Board chairperson Dave Ruen asked if the regular education teachers used this, and Clarke said they use it mostly for the special ed. students and for interventions, but it does work in both settings.

Superintendent Jeff Boggs said the program meshes well with other things the school is doing, such as Response to Intervention (RTI). Clarke commented that they are catching students earlier that have problems in reading or math and are able to help them.

Ruen said it’s a good example of something that has been well received and that works well.

Dean’s Report Dean John Smith reported the school year has gotten off to a good start, and things are going smoothly as people get into their routines. Homecoming was a good week, and they have already had a fire drill, lock-down, and an evacuation drill. He added

the seniors have ordered their caps and gowns for graduation already, and sophomores have ordered their class rings.

Smith also talked about things that have been going on for juniors and seniors regarding college. He has talked to them about college visits, college representatives, and getting their college applications in. On October 11, 22 juniors and seniors attended a Mayo Clinic Health Fair at RCTC in Rochester. Students that are interested in going into the health field can attend this fair every year.

On Oct. 12, 24 sophomores and juniors took the PSAT test. There was also a career and college planning night on Oct. 17. On October 17, Smith took juniors to a college fair in Rochester, and there will be more visits throughout the year.

There was many positive comments about the career and college planning night, and the help that students and parents get filling out financial aid applications.

MSBA Meeting Ruen gave a report on the Minnesota School Board Association

(MSBA) meeting he recently attended. He said the item that was “looming large” in the discussions was the forecasted state budget deficit of around $5 million. He said Lanesboro will see an impact from that. There was also discussion about the recent change in the homestead market value credit, which was replaced with a market value exclusion. Ruen said the market value is going to decline, and they don’t yet know what the impact will be.

Ruen encouraged all to attend the MSBA meetings in the future, as it is good for them to know

what’s going on. “We can’t just expect the superintendent to attend all these and brief us,” he said.

Other Business Ruen read a statement he wrote to clarify something from last month’s meeting. He wanted people to know that the action taken by the board about not investing in the Grocery Store LLC project does not mean that the board and the individuals on the board do not approve of the project itself. The board approved the statement.

The board also approved the contracts for non-certified staff and administration.

Fillmore Central High School Scholar Club The Falcon Scholar Club was formed to recognize academic excellence. The criteria to become a club member are to maintain a 3.5 grade point average or higher with an all grades being a “C” or better for the previous school year. Therefore, only 10-12 graders are able to be members. A student must also

be enrolled as a full time Fillmore Central High School student.
