If all goes as planned, Carrow’s True Value will vacate its Main Street address for another location with a Main Street presence: the former Coborn’s grocery store building. The purchase agreement has been signed, the earnest money check deposited, said Greg Carrow, who owns True Value with wife, Connie.

The Carrows have been negotiating for the building at 115 Second Ave. NE since August 2011. The initial deal fell through in December of that year. The current negotiation began a few weeks ago as a “one-shot, onetime deal,” Carrow said about the offer. “We’re fairly comfortable it’s going to go through this time,” Carrow said. The 14,216-square foot build-

ing housed Coborn’s until earlier this year when the grocery store moved to a new location on state Highway 30. “We’re probably gaining 5,000 square feet,” Carrow said. “We can have everything out on the floor and not in the warehouse,” said Laura (Carrow) Wurster, who has worked at the store for her parents full-time since 2005. The Carrows will take posses-

sion of the new building the end of December and begin interior renovations in January. An April opening is anticipated. “We pretty much have to tear the building inside apart,” Carrow said.

Transit grant sought Buffalo Ridge route would run between Luverne, Pipestone, Slayton & Worthington

By Mavis Fodness While Keith Serie reached the ring-necked pheasant limit on his second outing Saturday, Oct. 27, he had to have help from his dog, Tanner, a six-year-old Labrador Retriever, and his childhood hunting partner, Jerry Jagt. The dog flushed birds from the wetland area west of Ruthton in northern Pipestone County while Serie followed and Jagt walked the wetland’s edge to keep birds from running and hiding in the tall grasses. “We have been hunting together since age 12,” Serie said. “If he has gas in his outfit, we go,” Jagt added. Earlier in the day, Serie from Tyler, hunted alone and shot one rooster pheasant. With Jagt, also from Tyler, Serie reached his two-bird limit that afternoon. During the 45-minutes they waded through the grass and wetland area, Tanner flushed out three hens before he found the rooster nestled

By Kyle Kuphal County transit systems from Pipestone, Rock, Nobles and Murray counties are seeking a $231,826 grant from the state to implement what they’re calling the Buffalo Ridge transit route. The route would run four days a week — once in the morning and once in the afternoon — with stops at Pipestone, Luverne, Worthington and Slayton. Each county’s transit system would have one bus drive the route one day a week. The county transit offices will serve as depots for the route, allowing passengers to board other buses to travel anywhere in each of the four counties via that county’s transit system. Marc Hall, Pipestone County Transit director, told the Pipestone County Board when he first requested permission to seek the grant on Sept. 25 that the program is a move toward the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s (Mn/ DOT) future goals for local transit systems. “They would like to

see transit agencies look at combining services, sharing services, doing some form of consolidating,” he said. “They gave us this list of the three C’s that you see in front of us — coordination, cooperation and consolidation.” Hall said Mn/DOT directed transit agencies during a spring conference this year to figure out ways to work together

and write fewer grants, increase transit service to rural areas with existing assets, and ultimately consolidate county transit systems. Local transit systems like Pipestone County Transit receive 85 percent

Igor the K-9

joins the Pipestone County Sheriff ’s Office

By Kyle Kuphal Deputy Jeff Sanow’s new partner is unique among the members of the Pipestone County Sheriff’s Office. For starters he’s only two-and-a-half years old, weighs around 65 pounds and his primary language is Dutch. He’s also a Belgian-born German shepherd named Igor. Shortly after Igor hit the streets for the first time on Oct. 6, Pipestone County

Sheriff Dan Delaney, Sanow and Igor demonstrated the dog’s skills during an interview with the Pipestone County Star. Sanow stashed a bag of confiscated marijuana in the trunk of a patrol car behind the law enforcement center while Igor waited patiently in the back of Sanow’s car. A few minutes later Sanow let Igor out of the car and walked him through the parking lot and around another vehicle before

leading him up to the car with the drugs. Igor sniffed around the other vehicle and the parking lot, but kept moving until he detected the marijuana. Trained to alert passively by sitting rather than aggressively by barking or scratching, Igor calmly sat and stared at the trunk with the marijuana stash to show Sanow

Permit granted for Verizon tower

First Snow

Active Living to try for another safe route to school

Family divided over decision

By Debra Fitzgerald By Kyle Kuphal Plans for a new Verizon Wireless cell tower along state Highway 23 between Holland and Ruthton are moving forward despite objections by a family member of the owners of the property on which the tower will be built who lives at the tower site. Michael Neidt, with Verizon Wireless, said in an email to the county that the tower will accomplish three goals: in-building coverage in Ruthton and Holland; consistent coverage on state Hwy. 23 between Ruthton and Holland; and coverage to low areas of U.S. Highway 75 between Pipestone and Lake Benton. The Pipestone County Commissioners approved during their Oct. 23 meeting a conditional use permit request by Tim LaBrune and Verizon Wireless to construct the 309-foot tower on property owned by LaBrune and his wife Joyce at 1725 191st St. in Holland. The couple plans to lease the property to Verizon. The permit was required because the property is agriculturally zoned and the Pipestone County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended its approval. The committee found that the tower “will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the vicinity,” will not diminish property values of nearby properties, and will not endanger “public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of any person or property.” Stephanie LaBrune, daughter-in-

law of Tim and Joyce, expressed the lone objection to the permit in an email sent to the commissioners. She was also present during the Oct. 23 meeting. Stephanie and her husband, Ryan, live at the site that Tim and Joyce own and the tower would be 500 feet from their home. Stephanie said little during the meeting, but indicated in the email that she and Ryan have lived at the property since 2007 and plan to purchase the property in 2013. She said her number one concern is the health effects on their children of the radio frequency waves from the tower. “I have a young child and after doing research have found that the radio frequency waves that a cell tower gives off affects children way different than adults due to their skulls being so much thinner,” Stephanie LaBrune wrote. According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), radio frequency emissions from antennas used for cellular transmissions are typically “thousands of times below safety limits.” Those limits are based on expert recommendations and the FCC says, “there is no reason to believe that such towers could constitute a potential health hazard to nearby residents or students.” Stephanie also expressed in the email that she is concerned that the tower, in combination with the state’s ARMER (Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response) tower that will be built less than a mile away, will interfere with the flight path of

medical helicopters that regularly fly over their home. LaBrune asked the commissioners to either deny the permit or look into co-locating the equipment on the AMRER tower once it’s built. Neidt said in his email to the county that the ARMER tower would not be a viable option because it would not accomplish the three goals of the new tower, particularly providing consistent coverage on state Hwy. 23 between Holland and Ruthton and to the low areas of U.S. Hwy. 75 between Pipestone and Lake Benton. Kyle Krier, Pipestone County planning and zoning administrator, said the tower meets all county requirements. As part of the permit, Verizon must seek FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and other state and federal permits required before it can be built. Stephanie LaBrune said she did not attend the public hearing because she’s not the landowner, and as such was told by Brad Kruisselbrink, planning commission chairman, and Krier that she had little influence on the matter. Commissioner Harold “Butch” Miller said the county has not, as far as he recalled, denied a conditional use permit because of one citizen’s concern as long as the project meets all zoning requirements. He added that he too has been impacted by towers near his home. “I look out my window and I can see 20 wind towers starting a third of a mile away from me,” he said. “I never thought that would happen. When I bought my property there was no hog confinement units either; now I’m surrounded by them. I guess this is part of progress. It’s something we all have to live with.” The board approved the permit unanimously.

Elevator ‘befuddles’ expansion Hospice addition could be delayed until spring 2013 By Kyle Kuphal Plans to add accommodations for family members at the Pipestone County Hospice home this fall could be delayed until 2013 due to new information from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). The Pipestone County Board opened bids for the project ranging from $560,000 to $811,500 at its Oct. 9 meeting and the commissioners expected to accept the low bid during the Oct. 16 hospital board meeting. Instead, the board tabled the bids during that meeting after Brad Burris, PCMC CEO, told the board the project might have to go back to the drawing board because of a new interpretation of the building code by a representative of the DLI, which oversees the state’s construction codes and licensing as well as other labor standards. “When the architect did the original design work of the elevator shaft, he was working with an individual in this office (DLI) and coordinated that design with him as they went through the building codes together,” Burris said. “That gentleman has retired and has been replaced with another individual who interprets the building code differently.” Burris said they learned of that new interpretation after the bids were opened on Oct. 9. DLI says now that the elevator shaft must be independent from the rest of the building rather than tied to it as the existing design calls for. Burris said he contacted County Attorney Jim O’Neill for a legal opinion on how to proceed and O’Neill said PCMC had two options — to accept the low bid and prepare for a change order of an unknown amount, or reject all the bids, change the specifications and rebid the project at a later date. Burris said the hospital must

also wait for a review of the plans by the Department of Health before the project could begin. “We were trying to get this project moving along,” said Pete Swanson, PCMC plant manager. “That’s why we didn’t really wait for the Department of Labor and Industries’ reports — to try to make sure we could get the bid process going and get the bids in so we could basically beat the weather.” Burris, Swanson and Curt Hohman, senior vice president of managed hospitals for Avera KcKennan, recommended rejecting the bids and waiting until the plans were adjusted, then soliciting new bids. “I think we should probably reject the bids and rebid it in the spring,” Swanson said. Hohman said Avera McKennan has run into similar situations before and fought the state to let them proceed with the projects. Burris said Swanson requested that the DLI allow the project to proceed based on the original recommendations from DLI, but the agency denied the request. The board has 30 days from the bid opening to accept or deny the bids, which gives them until Nov. 9 to make a decision. The board directed Swanson to contact the architect to try to determine how much the changes will add to the cost before the commissioner’s Nov. 6 meeting, so they could make a more informed decision at that time. This is the second time the elevator has delayed the project. The first occurred in May when architects determined that a space that had been built into the original structure of the Hospice home for an elevator did not meet building codes. “This elevator has befuddled us through the whole project,” Burris said.

ing to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative to students and their families is the goal of a Safe Routes To School (SRTS) grant being offered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The Pipestone Active Living Partnership intends to go for that grant, according to Michael Vander Haar, Active Living coordinator. “We’re looking at over $300,000 that we would be applying for,” Vander Haar told the Pipestone City Council, Oct. 15. “Are you optimistic?” Mayor Laurie Ness asked. “I always am,” Vander Haar replied. Pipestone Active Living already secured an SRTS grant for the city in 2011 in the amount of $219,828 to construct a safer and more connected walking and biking route to the middle/high school from the Westview Park area and neighborhoods north of state Highway 30. Out of the 82 applications the state received for that grant, Pipestone’s was one of the 16 awarded. While the construction of that project has not been started, Vander Haar said the project should commence next spring. The new grant would construct a trail system connecting southwest-side neighborhoods to the middle/high school with a route that crossed state Hwy. 30. This trail system had been included in the first SRTS grant bid Active Living made, but only the Westview Park trail had been funded. As with the first SRTS grant, a fiscal agent is required for the current grant. Since the city of Pipestone has a population of less than 5,000 people, it’s not qualified to act in that capacity. Pipestone County agreed to be the fiscal agent for the first grant and again consented for the second, an agreement Vander Haar, accompanied by City Administrator Jeff Jones, secured from the county commissioners the previous week. Explaining why the council hadn’t heard about the grant until after the county acted upon it, Jones said, “We thought there would be no point in bringing it before the council if the county didn’t act as fiscal agent.” Vander Haar did ask the council for a motion of support for the grant, which the council unanimously gave. The grant application is due Feb. 15.

District Court

Law Enforcement

By Debra Fitzgerald

Submitted by the Pipestone County Sheriff ’s Office

A Pipestone man already serving time in a Yellow Medicine County jail for failure to register as a sex offender was convicted in Pipestone County District court of fifth degree methamphetamine possession. Coty Allen Tellinghuisen, 28, earned a 17-month prison sentence for the conviction in the state correctional facility in St. Cloud. The prison sentence delivered by Fifth Judicial District Court Judge Terry Vajgrt was a departure from sentencing guidelines, which would have given Tellinghuisen a stay with probation and some local jail time. But since he was already serving time in a Yellow Medicine County jail for failure to register as a predatory offender, Tellinghuisen asked that his sentenced be executed, according to the Pipestone County Attorney’s office. The judge also ordered Tellinghuisen to pay $85 in surcharges and fees. Based upon his financial condition, the court waived the payment of the mandatory minimum fine. Tellinghuisen was transferred from Yellow Medicine to Pipestone for his local sentencing and then returned to Yellow Medicine before being transferred to the St. Cloud receiving site. The latest conviction for the Pipestone man dated back to an arrest on March 31, 2012, according to the original complaint filed June 15, 2012. Wanted on outstanding warrants and failure to register as a predatory offender, agents with the Buffalo Ridge Drug Task Force and Pipestone County Sheriff’s Office deputies, working on a tip, found Tellinghuisen at the Holland home of his girlfriend. Tellinghuisen was hiding in the attic upstairs before he voluntarily surrendered, according to the complaint. While executing the warrants, evidence of marijuana was present. The agents obtained a search warrant and discovered methamphetamine in several rooms of the home. Tellinghuisen was also arrested for fifth degree meth possession on Dec. 2, 2011. Sheriff’s deputies stopped him for being in violation of the predatory offender registration law and discovered the drug on him. That felony charge was dismissed. Also dismissed with the latest disposition was a charge of methamphetamine crimes related to children. Tellinghuisen was previously convicted of a fifth degree controlled substance crime in Pipestone County in 2003.

Probation for criminal sexual conduct conviction

A probation sentence and lengthy list of conditions was delivered to a Pipestone man convicted of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. The sentence for Daniel Justin Olson, 19, of Pipestone, was stayed, and he received 10 years supervised probation and 84 days in the local jail, with 84 days credit for time served. He was also ordered to pay $85 in surcharges and fees. Based upon his financial condition, Fifth Judicial District Court Judge Terry Vajgrt waived the mandatory minimum fine. Successful completion of his probation will result in a reduction of the felony conviction to a misdemeanor. Olson was arrested on Dec. 19, 2011 for having sexual intercourse

12-lb. package of marijuana leads to probation, local jail sentence A Pipestone man has been convicted of possessing approximately 12 pounds of marijuana with the intent to sell the drug. The sentence for Stanley Steven Lodahl, 61, was stayed and he received five-years supervised probation and 30 days in Pipestone County Jail with 21-days credit for time served. He was also ordered to pay $500 in fines, surcharges and fees. Successful completion of his probation will reduce the felony conviction to a misdemeanor. Lodahl was arrested on Nov. 9, 2011 after a suspicious package that would later turn out to be 12 pounds of marijuana, was delivered to a wrong address, according to the original complaint filed Nov. 10. After the homeowner contacted law enforcement, Sheriff’s Office deputies drove to the correct address, at which point Lodahl told them he was expecting the package, even though it was addressed to another person. In the final disposition, where three additional felony charges were dismissed, Lodahl was also ordered to receive a chemical dependency evaluation and treatment, not to use or possess alcohol or drugs, to submit to random testing and to supply a DNA sample.

Friday, Oct. 26 -6:47 p.m. - Alan Jones of Pipestone was driving a 2006 Buick Rainier when he collided with a deer a little over a mile south of state Highway 30 on 20th Ave. near Pipestone. There was moderate damage to the front end of the vehicle.

Matt Schultz climbs to the top of the Ewert Recreation Center Thursday evening as part of the application process for the Pipestone Volunteer Fire Department. Fire Chief Cory Popma said the department was testing three applicants Thursday evening for three open spots on the department. The tests involve climbing the ladder, climbing seven flights of stairs in under a minute and a half while carrying 50 feet of hose, being confined in a small dark space and breathing through an air tank, carrying a charged hose 150 feet, and carrying a 100 pound dummy 100 feet in under one minute.

Transit Continued from page 1A of their funding from state and federal funds. Counties pick up the remaining 15 percent. The grant for the Buffalo Ridge transit route would work the same way. The route is estimated to cost $272,736.81 to operate over its two-year run with 85 percent — $231,826 — coming from the state and the remaining 15 percent — $40,910 — split between the four counties. That leaves each county with an expense of $10,637.50 over two years. Hall said revenue from the route fares will be used to offset some of the cost to the counties. “I think this is a really good idea,” Hall said. “It would be unique in the state of Minnesota. Most of what you see shared is

dispatching being shared by other counties.” If the grant is approved, Hall said, the four county transit systems will discuss additional collaboration options for the future and would likely meet with Mn/ DOT after one year to determine if the route is successful. “If it works, it works,” Hall said. “If it doesn’t, it will be dropped after two years.” When Hall first requested permission to seek the grant during the board’s Sept. 25 meeting the commissioners questioned the need for the four-county route and Commissioner Harold “Butch” Miller speculated that the two-year experiment would fail if the grant were approved. “I for one want to stop the growth of government any way I can and this seems counter to that,” Miller said. “I would probably support something like this just to say, see I told you so.”

Hall said he plans to work with family services, senior centers and other agencies to promote the new route. He said there are people in Pipestone County who travel to the surrounding counties for work, medical or other reasons every day who could use the proposed route. “There is a demand,” he said. “The question is once we put this on the road, how do we utilize those assets to make sure we’re using public transportation. That’s the part we’re going to have to spend some time and effort on to make sure we communicate to those local agencies that this is now available.” After tabling the discussion during the Sept. 25 meeting and directing Hall to return with more information, the board unanimously approved his request during their Oct. 23 meeting. Hall said Mn/DOT plannned to review the application in November.

Editor’s note: In the accident reports published in the Oct. 11 and Oct. 18 Pipestone County Star, two accidents were inadvertently repeated: one for Leone Meyer and one for Jeanne Backer. Both accidents occurred only once on Sunday, Oct. 7. In one of those, the details changed between the first and second publication. To clarify: Jeanne Backer of Pipestone reported hitting a deer, not a raccoon, near the intersection of state Highway 23 and 71st Street.

Prison sentence for meth conviction

with an 11-year-old girl and for touching the breasts and genital area of another 13-year-old girl, according to the original complaint filed Dec. 21, 2011. Both incidences took place Nov. 29, 2011 in Olson’s 106 Second Ave. SE apartment, according to the complaint. The Sheriff’s Office learned of the incidences after one of the juvenile’s brothers found a note in his sister’s diary and alerted officials. Olson’s original charges included both first and second-degree criminal sexual conduct. The final dispostion dismissed the first degree charge. Olson was also ordered to undergo anger management, chemical evaluation and treatment and a psychological sexual evaluation and treatment, including but not limited to accepting placement in a group home to be identified by the state and successfully complete that stay. He was also ordered not to possess or use any pornographic material, drugs or alcohol; to attend a sex offender program; to have no contact with the victims and no unsupervised contact with children in certain circumstances; to submit to random testing and polygraph examinations as directed; to supply a DNA sample and abide by the predatory offender registration requirement. Olson was further ordered not to enter a bar without documented approval and not to own or use any computer that allows for Internet capabilities without approval.

Viewpoints Constitutional amendment questions

The ballot on Nov. 6 will contain two constitutional amendment questions. The first pertains to recognition of marriage solely between one man and one woman, the second to voter photo identification. The amendments will appear on the ballot as follows: Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to provide that only a

union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota? -Yes -No Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to present valid photo identification to vote and to require the state to provide free identification to eligible

voters, effective July 1, 2013? -Yes -No Last week, opinion columns both for and against the Voter ID amendment were expressed on this page. Below, you’ll find arguments both for and against the marriage amendment.

The Marriage Amendment Editor’s note: Minnesota United For all Families is the lead group opposing the amendment. With one week remaining until the Nov. 6 election, the group had raised more than $8.2 million since it began fighting the amendment in 2011. The chief group supporting the amendment, Minnesota for Marriage, has raised about $2 million overall.

Vote No By Carolyn Simon The Human Rights Campaign Minnesota’s proposed marriage ban is discriminatory. It’s anachronistic. It’s a rejection of equal rights. And it has no place in the state’s Constitution. These are the arguments put forth this weekend in editorials from three separate Minnesota newspapers. All three urge voters to reject the amendment that would limit the freedom to marry for committed same sex-couples. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the state’s largest newspaper, devoted more than 700 words to a point-by-point rebuttal of all of the arguments that are made in support of the ban. “Religions can and do limit matrimony to heterosexuals, and it is their right to refuse marriage to whomever they please,” the editorial reads. “But it is not government’s role to deny rights based on religion.” It also takes on the tired old argument about the “defense of traditional marriage.” “There is no legitimate proof that same-sex marriages have any impact whatsoever on other families or relationships...Studies have shown that marriage is indeed good for children -- the commitment tends to result in more stability and responsibility from the adults involved -- whether the parents are gay or straight.” The editorial ends with a passionate plea for compassion and empathy. “We’d urge voters to think about the gay or lesbian friend and coworker in the next cubicle, the nice same-sex couple down the street, or the beloved gay family member,” the editorial reads. “They have the same hopes and dreams as heterosexuals, and for many that includes the desire to marry and form a family with the person they love. In our hearts and

Vote Yes souls, we Minnesotans are basically fair people who believe in human rights. That fundamental sense of humanity should lead to a ‘no’ vote on the marriage amendment.” The St. Cloud Times, which covers the news of the third-largest metro area in the state, and the Red Wing Republican Eagle, which covers the news of Red Wing (which is just 50 miles southeast of the Twin Cities) and surrounding communities, also urged voters to reject the marriage amendment. “The Nov. 6 vote on the proposed ‘marriage amendment’ isn’t about society, religion or personal conviction,” the Red Wing Republican Eagle editorial reads. “The vote is about amending the Minnesota Constitution to deny rights to citizens who aren’t heterosexual.” The St. Cloud Times also put a strong emphasis on equal rights. “While it is difficult to distill from something so seeped in tradition, marriage in the eyes of government is essentially a contract between two consenting adults. The contract means the state guarantees those adults certain rights and privileges,” the Times’ editorial reads. “Rejecting this proposed amendment prevents permanent revocation of those rights and privileges for gay people, yet still allows all people of faith to apply their respective definitions and traditions of marriage within their faiths.” The editors’ words differ slightly, but their unified message is clear: Vote no – don’t limit the freedom to marry for Minnesotans. HRC is a proud supporter of the coalition, Minnesotans United for All Families, working to defeat the amendment banning same-sex marriage in the state. HRC has set up a special fund – HRC Minnesota Family Freedom PAC – to direct 100 percent of your contribution to defeat the anti-marriage constitutional amendment in Minnesota.

By www.minnesotaformarriage. com The Minnesota Marriage Amendment is an amendment passed by a bi-partisan majority of the legislature that will appear on Minnesota’s ballot Nov. 6 to place the traditional definition of marriage – one man and one woman – into our state constitution. The Minnesota Marriage Amendment ensures that voters, not politicians, have the right to decide the definition of marriage in Minnesota. This is necessary to prevent activist judges and politicians from redefining marriage in the future without voter approval. Minnesota for Marriage is a broad coalition of leaders, both interfaith and people outside the religious community, who support the Minnesota Marriage Amendment and asked the Legislature to place it on the ballot. These leaders have assembled a campaign to ensure this amendment passes. An amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman is necessary to prevent future legislative and judicial efforts to redefine this sacred institution. We strongly believe that Minnesota voters have the right to decide what marriage means in our state, just as voters in 31 other states have done. By placing the traditional definition of marriage in the Constitution, we can ensure that it will always be Minnesota voters, and not politicians or unaccountable judges, who will have the final say on marriage in Minnesota. Minnesota for Marriage is supported by a broad range of organizations and individuals, including faith leaders from virtually every denomination in Minnesota – and those who subscribe to no faith at all. Organizations supporting the amendment include: Minnesota Family Council, Minnesota Catholic Conference, and National Organization for Marriage. People from every walk of life believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and have organized to ensure that definition is protected and upheld. Voting YES for the Marriage Amendment does two simple things: -Protects the definition of marriage to what Minnesota law has always been and what human history has always understood marriage to be—the union of one man and one woman. -Strengthens democracy and allows the people of Minnesota the opportunity to protect marriage before it is redefined by judges or politicians.

Editor’s Note

Debra Fitzgerald

What it takes & where to go Media outlets reported last week that in their bids for president Barack Obama had raised $934 million, Mitt Romney $881.8 million. These totals include what the candidates raised individually, from their party committees (the D.N.C. and R.N.C.), and from their Super PACs (Priorities USA $63.7 million for Obama, Restore Our Future $131.6 million for Romney). If you go to the Federal Election Commission website (www.fec. gov), these numbers are easy to verify. The information is delivered through interactive maps and attractive pie charts and graphs. The site runs deep with details, including who contributes and how much. This year’s numbers are a record but they’ve been rising each election cycle and it doesn’t appear it was ever cheap to take a serious shot at the White House: Abraham Lincoln in today’s dollars reportedly spent $2.8 million getting elected. That had to have been a lot of money in 1860. Closer to home for Pipestone in Minnesota’s District 7, incumbent Congressman Collin Peterson (DFL) has raised $1,055,943 to Republican challenger Lee Byberg’s $524,845 as of Oct. 17. In the U.S. Senate Race, Minnesota incumbent Amy Klobuchar (DFL) has raised $7,087,544 as of Oct. 17, to the $880,399 raised by her Republican challenger, Kurt Bills.

Even closer to home, in District 22 for the Minnesota senate, candidates Alan Oberloh (Worthington) and Bill Weber (Luverne) had $37,913.90 and $54,860.39 in total receipts respectively as of Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board website. In the District 22A race for the Minnesota house, incumbent Joe Schomacker (R-Luverne) had $28,132.38 in total receipts to DFL challenger Eugene Short’s $9,804.81. We contribute to campaign elections for a variety of reasons and it’s not just the wealthy doing so for the favors of influence, power, and tax breaks. Obama raised $413,490, 398 through contributions of $200 or less, Romney raised $97,432,315 the same way, according to the Federal Election Commission. Only time will tell if dollars raised translate into seats won for this election. But if what this country spends its money upon is a reflection of what the people in this country value, clearly we value our political process and the opportunity to choose our leaders. On Tuesday, Nov. 6, we have the privilege - and responsibility, I believe - to express that value when we go to the polls to elect our next president, as well as our city, county, school board, state and other federal candidates.

Letters from our readers An appreciation of American Flags - and the companies that fly them Dear Editor, I am proud to live in a community and county that proudly displays our Nation’s Flags. Recently, the New Horizon Farms in Pipestone continued their tradition of placing the American Flag on top of their businesses by installing a new American Flag set on the New Horizon Elevator located on the northeast side of Pipestone welcoming people to

Pipestone. If you look to the southwest of the elevator, you will notice another American Flag flying high on the New Horizons Feed Mill that has flown there for numerous years. These two American Flags are the highest-flying American Flags in the county. I’ve had a father, brother, and a sister all serve in the military in the same Army Reserve Unit. I know what the American Flag rep-

resents. I want to personally thank managing partner Bob Taubert, other New Horizon Farms principal partners, and the employee(s) directly responsible for the placement of the new American Flag and for maintaining the American flag at the Feed Mill. Derek H. Wellnitz Pipestone

Countryside / Commerce Chili best Return of the prairie

By Kyle Kuphal

By Mavis Fodness

Over 350 chili fans flocked to the Pipestone Country Club the evening of Friday, Oct. 26 for the 7th Annual Chamber Chili Cookoff. Ten local businesses or organizations prepared a variety of traditional and nontraditional chilis while wearing costumes representing characters from movies ranging from “Back Draft” to “Back to the Future” for the Chiliwood-themed event. By the time it was all over, three chili teams had taken home the prizes. First Bank and Trust earned the trophies for best traditional chili and best theme with their Wizard of Oz theme, complete with a yellow brick road leading to their table. With their slim two-vote victory the First Band and Trust team unseated multipletime winner and reigning champion Winter Group, prompting Gavin Winter to ask Mick Myers, chamber executive director, for a recount. Gavin has won the event for the past four years in a row. “I did see a tear in his eye when the winners were announced — could have been from spicy chili, however,” Myers said. “But being a true champion his parting words were ‘I’ll be back.’” First Farmers and Merchants won the trophy for the best nontraditional chili and Minnesota West’s Student Senate team won the Chamber’s Choice award as selected by Chamber Vice President Debra Sommers. “The Chamber is very appreciative of each and every team that created their favorite chili as well as the fantastic number of people that attended,” Myers said. “It was a fun evening.” Competing in this year’s cookoff were traditional chili makers: First Bank and Trust, Minnesota West, Pipestone Publishing, Winter Group, First State Bank and Minnesota West’s Student Senate. Nontraditional chili cookers were the Pipestone Public Works Department, All About Smiles, First Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank, and PCMC.

Under sunny skies and in the shadows of the sacred rock formation known as the Three Maidens, Pipestone National Monument Biological Science Technician and acting National Resource Program Manager Seth Hendriks knelt in front of marks made by the Monument’s drill planter looking for native grass seeds on Tuesday, Oct. 16. “I’m making sure I am getting enough seed down,” he explained. The next day’s rain forecast prompted Hendriks to expedite the planting by using the recently purchased planting drill/planter only, instead of dragging the area first. He had sprayed the area earlier to kill the current non-native vegetation. The planting was completed in four hours, Hendriks said. The rains came as forecast on Thursday, Oct. 18. The seeding is part of the Monument’s general management plan to restore previously mowed and manicured grass areas back to native prairie vegetation, he said. The small area in front of the Three

among the cattails. Hunters in southwest Minnesota will find 52.4 pheasants every 100 miles, according to this year’s Minnesota August Roadside Survey conducted each year by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Kurt Haroldson, DNR wildlife research biologist, wrote the 14-page report with roadside counts throughout the farmland region in Minnesota completed by DNR enforcement and wildlife personnel. “The pheasant count is up from last year,” he said. Haroldson, who has worked for the DNR for 25 years, said the two severe winters in a row caused the pheasant population in southwest Minnesota to drop significantly in 2011, when 19.2 pheasants were surveyed every 100 miles. “It was very hard on pheasants” to find food, he said during the previous two winters, with waste grains and grass seeds buried under heavy snows. Haroldson

Maidens is located between an existing tall grass area to the east and a small picnic area to the west. The area and the Maidens greet visitors as they enter the 301-acre Monument. At first, Hendriks said the area will be “horrible looking” as it will be enclosed in orange fencing to keep visitors from walking on the emerging grasses for at least the next year. He said a path of manicured lawn has been kept around the Three Maidens and also south of the newly drilled prairie area for visitors to continue visiting the rock formation. Called “The Dew Drop Drill,” the 3-foot wide implement was pulled by an all-terrain vehicle but the extremely dry, packed dirt wasn’t making Hendriks’ seed-seeking efforts easy. The Indian, switch and big bluestem grass seeds were extremely tiny but with the fluff and stems kept with the seeds, they were visible in the 1-inch deep slits made by the drill. The seed may include any number of grass and flower species found at the Monument. Hendriks said he drilled the area

said the birds would come out of cover to feed more often and predators such as hawks, coyotes and fox would easily kill the weakened birds. He said while this year’s numbers are higher, they are still well below the 10-year average of 159.8 birds every 100 miles. Each August the roadside survey is conducted with a forecast on the number of roosters expected to be harvested. Over the mild winter of 2011-2012, pheasant numbers rebounded due to the easy feeding conditions. This year, Haroldson said a forecasted 290,000 rooster pheasants are available for harvest in Minnesota. Last year, the forecasted amount was 209,000 with actual numbers harvested at 204,000 based on follow up surveys, Haroldson said. While numbers may not be back to average levels, area hunters can still find rooster pheasants in the area. The pheasant season began Oct. 13 and will be open until Jan. 1, 2013. Hunters are limited to two roosters per day. After Dec. 1, the limit is three roosters per day. Hunters will have better odds of locating the pheasants in northern Pipestone County, according to the DNR pheasant hunting prospect

travelling east and west as well as north and south. He said to make sure that seeds emerge in early summer, he will also broadcast additional seed collected from the Monument’s annual Public Lands Day. “I will also be putting seed on snow, which gives (the seed) an anchor point to generate better in the spring,” he said. The success of last week’s planting won’t be known for 10 months, he said. The warm-season grass-

The map did stipulate “there may be sites with ‘good’ pheasant diversity within ‘poor’ areas and visa versa.” Haroldson said with this year’s higher forecast “people may travel to our area to hunt” pheasant instead of traveling to northern Minnesota

Sister missionaries

It’s been awhile since the Mormon Church has sent female missionaries to Pipestone Local residents may have seen two young women walking around Pipestone wearing skirts and backpacks and wondered who they are and what they’re doing, exactly. They are sister missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (LDS), the official name of the religion commonly called the Mormon Church. Sister Cera Yellowhair, 22, and Sister Kara Blackburn, 24, arrived in September and October respectively, sharing an apartment in Pipestone. Each is well into their 18-month mission, Sister Yellowhair on month 14, Sister Blackburn on month 17. “We leave behind all personal affairs – dating, vacation, college, our families – we dedicate our lives for that amount of time to be a servant of the Lord,” Sister Yellowhair said. Though Sister Yellowhair comes from northeastern Arizona on a Navajo Reservation in Chinle, and Sister Blackburn’s hometown is Boise, Idaho, they share a mission home of Rapid City, S.D., where they were sent after filing their mission papers with Salt Lake City, being accepted, and completing their training at the Missionary Training Center where missionaries learn the techniques of sharing lessons of the church. Rapid City, S.D. is one of the Mormon Church’s 350 mission sites worldwide served by roughly 50,000 missionaries, according to the LDS website, mormon.org. Every six weeks the Sisters’ mission president in Rapid City receives inspiration, Sister Yellowhair said, as to whether they should stay within their current assignment city or go and if so, where to. Those assignments have taken the Sisters to various cities within Wyoming and South Dakota. Pipestone is the first Minnesota assignment for both women. Arthur Hyzer, branch president for the LDS church in Pipestone since 2009, said he doesn’t have any control over the missionaries’ arrival or length of stay. The Kenneth resident said male missionaries called ‘Elders,’ have been assigned to Pipestone regularly, but not Sisters. “We’ve had Elders for so long you reach a point where you need something different, a woman’s perspective,” said Hyzer, who went on mission himself for two years in Texas. Hyzer said that as branch president, he could ask the Sisters to do things that would increase the missionary efforts on the branch, but hasn’t felt the need. “I haven’t done anything with them except tell them they’re doing great,” he said. The Sisters govern themselves following a highly regimented set of daily mission rules. They must awake at 6:30 each morning and take exercise for 30 minutes – “We just walk,” Sister Yellowhair said – before preparing for their day from 7 to 8 a.m. From 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. they study the Bible and scripture. They tend to take lunch in their Pipestone apartment but are fed each evening by different members of the local church. From 9-9:30 p.m. they plan for the next day and from 9:30 to 10:30 they prepare for bed. “And lights out at 10:30,” Sister Yellowhair said. For the majority of their day - from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. - they are proselytizing either door-to-door or by seeking out service opportunities. For example, the Sisters were on the watch a couple weekends ago for yards that might need raking. “Sometimes our day will change; it won’t always stay the same,” Sister Blackburn said. They believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World and the Son of God and as missionaries, their daily purpose is to help current members “rekindle that fire,” or “to invite others to come unto Christ” through the Mormon Church, Sister Yellowhair said, with conversions a primary goal.

PIPESTONE DENTAL CENTER will be closed

The invitation has been met with a mixed reception in Pipestone. “First, they automatically think we’re Jehovah’s Witnesses,” Sister Yellowhair said. “When we say we’re from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they’re kind of puzzled. We say, you know, Mormons? And they’re like, oh, OK. Sometimes they invite us in to tell them more about our church and ask us what’s different. It’s really not different; a lot of them think we don’t believe in Jesus Christ but we do; we’re very Christian. Some reject us just because of the word Mormon, I guess.” The Sisters have learned how to deal with discouragement, which both Sisters said they experienced early in their missions. “It was pretty discouraging, people closing doors,” Sister Yellowhair said. “As I got older in my mission it started to be normal. I know that people have their agency, their freedom to choose.” “It’s OK; it’s their choice. We just have to be OK with it,” Sister

Blackburn said. Hyzer described the region in general as “tolerant” of the LDS church. “There aren’t a lot of pitchforks and torches to get the Mormons out of town, which is good,” Hyzer said. On the other hand, “there’s not a lot of willingness to listen to what we have to say. There are some individuals but overall, as a region – they have their beliefs. They want to stick with what they believe.” For those not raised in areas where the Mormon Church is strong, people often have the false perception that the Mormon Church allows polygamy due to what they’ve heard about the practices of the religion’s earliest prophets. “People ask us that every day,” Sister Yellowhair said. “Yesterday, someone asked us. If anyone does do that they’re not affiliated with our church. They did it when the church was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. They allowed that because at the time, 200 years ago women didn’t have rights. So when their husbands died, they

It’s against the law too and we believe in the laws of the land.” Sister Blackburn’s mission will end on Dec. 18, at which point she’ll return to Idaho and normal life. “I’ll go to college, get married and have a family,” she said. Sister Yellowhair predicted a similar path when her mission ends. Both Sisters said their missions have been life-changing, allowing them to grow closer to God through daily study, prayer and service. “When you love God you love others around you,” she said. “I think my mission has helped me become more Christ like.” Practical benefits accompany the spiritual rewards. “I have to say: the mission has really helped us to budget,” Sister Yellowhair said, laughing.

bulletin board Solutions & Substitutions

By Reena Nerbas

Dear Reena, I want to impress my East Indian fiancée and his family by having East Indian spices on hand in my cupboards. What are traditional spices that you would find in kitchens in India? Candace Dear Candace, Indian food does have its own distinctive flavours and aromas. Next time you are in the grocery store pick up four new spices: Turmeric, cumin, fennel seeds and coriander. Many Indian recipes also call for: Cloves, ginger and cinnamon but you may already have those in your cupboards. Extra Tidbit: The word ‘masala’ refers to a mixture of various spice powders; most families in India have their own ‘masala’. Hi Reena, I have plenty of pumpkin seeds and don’t know what to do with them. Should I throw them in the garbage? Manfred Dear Manfred, Roasted pumpkin seeds are so yummy and easy to bake if you already have pumpkin seeds on hand. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Combine one and a half cups pumpkin seeds with two tbsp. melted butter/margarine. Sprinkle with half-teaspoon salt. Bake pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet in the oven until brown approx. 45 mins. Delicious snack! Dear Reena, I read your column faithfully. Wow, some of the solutions are awesome! I wonder if you have received any queries about this type of odor. We have a door enclosed towel tower in our bathroom. There’s a smell in the towels as if they have been stored damp, especially if the towels don’t get used often. I tried fabric softener sheets to no avail (on freshly laundered towels). Can you help me with this problem? Some towels don’t smell as nice even though they are clean. Thanks in advance, Rose Dear Rose, Moist air gets trapped inside fibers when the air has nowhere else to go. While the towels are clean following laundering, they will stink due to bacterial growth. Either install a dehumidifier or move the linens to another location. Air freshener techniques are not a long-term solution for this challenge.

Hi Reena, Thanks for writing your column; I look forward to it every week. I have an issue with my costume jewelry, especially dangly earrings and hooks. I was storing them in the bathroom and the humidity has caused them to turn a reddish color and some have pitted. Is there anything I can do to restore them? Or are they beyond repair? Thanks, Carolina Dear Carolina, If the paint has peeled from your earrings, your only hope is to spray paint them to make them look great once again. For regular cleaning, your number one goal is to break the surface tension between the dirt molecule and the jewelry molecule. Your easiest solution is to use an old toothbrush as your cleaning tool and dish soap and water as cleaners. Gently brush, rinse and repeat. Buff and polish with a soft cloth. Another option is to scrub with an old toothbrush and Optic White Colgate toothpaste. Rinse and repeat. Silver Brite is a popular commercial option for cleaning costume jewelry. Extra Tip: To prevent costume jewelry from tarnishing you may want to consider spraying the pieces with clear acrylic enamel spray paint, often found in the automotive section of department stores. Begin with a test piece that you are not attached to. Hang the jewelry on a scrap piece of cardboard and spray. The piece will turn white and dry clear. This works as a protective topcoat that will keep your costume jewelry looking great for years. Make sure that you avoid spraying earring posts.

Holland News by Rosie McGinty David Jackson of Seattle, Wash., and Ruthton was a supper guest at the home of Don and Dorothy LaBrune on Monday of last week. Darrell and Shirley Houselog spent the weekend of Oct. 20 at Monticello at the home of their son, Jeff and Darla. It was great for them to get reacquainted with their five little great-grandchildren in Jeff’s family as some of them live in the Cities. There was a good crowd out for the county card party hosted by the Holland seniors at their center Tuesday afternoon of last week. There were eight tables of pinochle players and two of hand ‘n foot. There was some good card playing as both Maxine Johnson of Ihlen and Ruth Grant of Edgerton ended up with scores of 6840 in pinochle. The prize went to Ruth Grant as she drew the high card. Irene Kofoed was the door prize winner and Gladys Lingen was in hand ‘n foot. It was a fun afternoon. It was great to see Pat and Bill Johannsen at the card party and we got to have a nice chat. Eden-Ihlen seniors will host the next county card party on Tuesday, Nov. 27 at 1:30 p.m. The many folk at the Holland Christian Reformed Church Sunday evening enjoyed the wonderful music of the “One Accord” chair from Southwest Christian High School. The cello music for the prelude was the highlight of the evening and it added so much more to the program. Last Wednesday Cornie Zeinstra and Marie Zeinstra accompanied Betty Stensgaard of Ruthton to the soup and dessert supper at the Woodstock American Reformed Church. Bud Winsel furnished the goodies to go with their coffee at the center Saturday morning to the many friends and family members who came for his 80th birthday.

ebrate his third birthday. Friday afternoon I stopped at Good Sam to visit with Loretta Stoeber and Eileen Biever. After pushing Loretta down to the dining room for supper I had a nice chat with Marie Schmidt who sits at the same table as Loretta. As I was leaving Marian Mahoney wanted to talk to me so gave her a hug and also met her daughter Pat. I’ve known Marian since in the 1940s when I was employed by Northwestern Bell Telephone and worked at the switchboard. As I continued on down the hall I met Diane and Dick Schulze and she wanted a hug too and to visit. So I hope it helped to make the day a little brighter for them. Saturday I accompanied Mary Ann DeGroot to Luverne where we were guests of Linda McGinty at the ninth Annual Tour of Tables sponsored by Sanford Luverne Hospice. Linda sponsored a table and her theme was “Our Silver and Blue Christmas.” Her table was so pretty and we heard many, many remarks of how beautiful it was. Other guests at the table were Ann Pommer of Fort Pierre, Julie Lanoue and Abbie of Garretson and Becky Ranschaw of Ellsworth. There were 26 tables decorated in many, many themes. Linda was asked to give the blessing before the meal. She is one of the Home Health Aides for the Hospice and has been for many years. After leaving the Blue Mound Banquet Center Mary and I went on to Rushmore and spent time at the Colleen and Dwayne Bents home. Dwayne is putting up a courageous battle with his cancer. Do keep him in your prayers. Diane Hinz will probably have her Halloween decorations up on east main street this week if you parents want to make a drive to Holland with your little ones. She goes to a lot of work as the decorations are lit up for the evening. Sunday I went with Darrell and Shirley Houselog to the ham dinner at the Ihlen Community Center and it was a very delicious meal. Please remember to VOTE on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Woodstock News by Annetta Legler Once again, a local family is mourning the death of a loved one. Carol Ratliff, Watertown, S.D., succumbed to the ravages of cancer on Thursday, Oct. 25. Carol, 61, is the daughter of Laura and the late Marvin Heard of Woodstock. She leaves four children, Tanya, Aberdeen, S.D., John, Mount Pleasant, Mich., Teresa and Dean, Watertown, her mother Laura, siblings, Dale, Lester and Daryl, several other friends and family. Services for Carol are planned for Tuesday, Oct. 30 in Watertown. My sincere sympathy to Laura and her family. Gloria and Mike Powers attended the funeral service for Carol Ratliff in Watertown on Tuesday. The Powers and the Heards were neighbors in Woodstock a few years ago. Earl Schuld underwent double lung transplant surgery last week in Rochester at St. Mary’s Hospital. He is recovering nicely, but will remain in Rochester for at least a month for observation.

Last Thursday Kathy took MacKenzie and Kennedy to the Halloween party held at the vo-tech school in Pipestone. The ghosts and goblins were everywhere making for a fun time. Happy Halloween to all, be careful, look out for the children as they do their trick or treating! Sunday noon the annual Thrivent dinner was served to their members. This year it was held at Shetek Lutheran Ministries, otherwise known as Lutheran Bible Camp at Shetek. Ed and Gloria Smidt, Shane and Linda Vos and myself attended and enjoyed the bountiful meal, some of the challenges facing Thrivent and a history of the Bible camp.

Take time to express your opinion by voting, not only for president, but other local and national positions. Quote: I will make time to be present for friends who are feeling hopeless. I will listen to their story with an open heart and comfort them with words of peace.

Days Gone By 125 YEARS AGO October 28, 1887 People should understand that they have no more right to picket cattle on the courthouse square that they would upon private ground. The commissioners have instructed the sheriff to see that the county grounds are kept clear in the future and cattle found there will be placed in the pound. We hope next year to see these grounds enclosed and improved as they should be. If the trees now there are properly cultivated they will make a fine grove in a short time. *** The old merchants Hotel was sold last Monday to J.H. Nichols, who will proceed at once to move the building on to some lots on East Olive street near the Globe House, where it will be fitted up and rented for a boarding house. As soon as the building is moved, Messrs. Stoner and Mylius will begin the excavation for their new hotel building, and hope to get well along with the foundation before winter sets in.

100 YEARS AGO

October 29, 1912 Sam L. Hirschy has purchased from D.H. Nichols the piece of ground on the north side of Olive street opposite the post office, with a 50 foot frontage. While Mr. Hirschy is not prepared at present to make a definite statement as to what use he will make of the lots, it is quite probable that a stone storage will be erected there. The small structure now occupying a part of this site, has been purchased by Carl Anlauf and will be moved to his corner a half block west of the post office, where it will be remodeled. The Payne Insurance Agency will continue to occupy this building.

75 YEARS AGO

October 26, 1937 The Radio Electric Company will move next week from 221 West Main Street, to its new location at 202 West Main, and plans are being made for a grand opening on Friday and Saturday, November 5 and 6, of which further announcement will be made in this paper next week. The building to be occupied by Radio Electric was recently vacat-

ed by Alton’s Grocery, now located at 118 West Main. The building is being remodeled for the use of Radio Electric Company and will furnish larger quarters and better display facilities for that concern.

50 YEARS AGO

October 29, 1962 Coach Earle Teas’ Pipestone Arrows brought their ‘62 season to a smashing climax last Wednesday night, when they rolled to a 21-6 victory over Luverne Cardinals. As a result, “The Old Battle Axe,” symbol of football supremacy between the Arrows and Cardinals, will remain for another year in the PHS trophy show case. It was a bitter cold night as the Arrows and Cards faced each other for the opening kickoff of their annual classic, but a big “Parents night” crowd was on hand for the “big” one, and the spectators were rewarded by witnessing one of the finest games between these two rivals. Although most of the scoring was held back until the final few minutes, there was seldom any lull in the action.

25 YEARS AGO

October 29, 1987 Two new businesses are now located in the former DeVries Consumer Products building on East Highway 30 in Pipestone. The Great Shape Body Toning Studio and Country Pastimes are now in the building which also still includes Evan’s Repair. Mark Evans who purchased the building recently from First National Bank and who is remodeling the front part of the building for the two new businesses will continue to operate his automobile repair business in the back of the building. Country Pastimes is operated by his sister-in-law Mary Evans. The business features hand-crafted wood products made by Mrs. Evans and her family. Great Shape Body Toning studio, scheduled to open Monday, will be operated by Joann Priebe of Slayton. The studio features seven different tables that tone the muscles and body.

Ihlen Area by Joyce Rodman Hi! Well another week behind me. I took my last radiation treatment. It is going to be real nice to not have to travel to Sioux Falls every day. The next thing is I have to go down for a pet scan on my lungs to see how they are doing and if they have changed any. I feel they aren’t going to find they haven’t changed because I am going to beat this. I have too much to live for. Well our weather hasn’t been too bad either. I heard we were going to get some snow, and I hope we have a nice winter. The girls are still staying with me. They take turns; they don’t think I should stay alone. I have had so many phone calls so the girls answer the phone and Sunday my grandson Kory Abell, Angie, Beau and Breckon from North Branch stopped to see me. I love it when the grandkids come to see me. Gerrie Abell came and spent four days with me. Guests for supper Friday night were Shane, Stacy, Brenden and Colton Fey, Kory, Angie, Beau, Colton, Missy and Ty, Skip Fey and friend, Gerri Abell and Merna Hansen and Saturday, Aunt Rosann Namanny and Sandi Horton, all of Sioux Falls. Allen and Vivian are spending the winter in Sioux Falls and I am so happy for them. Now we know they are going to stay warm and have somebody to watch over them. Allen will be 93 Saturday and he still drives all over. I drive from Ihlen to Jasper or to Pipestone, but not any further.

Here is a recipe for soup for this winter.

TACO SOUP

1 lb. ground turkey 1 onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 2-3 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 28 oz. can whole tomatoes 15 oz. can tomato sauce 1 can whole kernel corn 1 can kidney beans 1 can pinto beans 1 can northern beans 1 package taco seasoning 1 package Hidden Valley buttermilk dressing Brown meat, then sauté onion, green pepper and garlic. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an hour. Or you can brown meat and place all in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. Here is a little story. One summer evening, during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked, with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?” The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t dear,” she said. “I have to sleep in daddy’s room.” A long silence was broken at last by a shaky little voice, “the big sissy.” Well so much for this time. I hope this finds everyone healthy and happy. See you next week.

Ask A Trooper I See By The Star... Minnesota State Trooper: Sgt. Jacalyn Sticha Question: Are the loud exhaust/ muffler laws effective and enforceable? Do we need a decibel reading? Answer: The Minnesota Court of Appeal [July 2006] heard a case where the vehicle stop was for loud exhaust on a motorcycle (MSS 169.69, below). They upheld the law and affirmed the decision made in the District Court. The “MC Driver” held that the law was unconstitutionally vague and that therefore the officers did not have reasonable suspicion for the stop. Both Courts found that the officers, which were State Troopers, in fact made a good stop and sufficiently articulated the sound and condition of the exhaust, refuting the idea that the law or the officers’ articulation for the stop vague. MSS 169.69 “Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order which blends the exhaust noise into the overall vehicle noise and is in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise, and no person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass,

… on a street or highway. The exhaust system shall not emit or produce a sharp popping or crackling sound.” For entire law visit: www.revisor.leg.state.us. Incidentally, after the initial contact/stop addressing the loud exhaust, the “MC driver” strong indicator that he was impaired while driving the motorcycle; he was charged and convicted accordingly. The primary reason for the case if the reasonable suspicion is not establish for the stop then the defendant cannot be charged. With this decision, it would be hard to dismiss because an actual measurement of the noise level was not provided and the law vague regarding noise levels. The Appellate Court’s Affirmation supports the District Court’s statement, “…a person of common knowledge, intelligence, and experience can easily determine when the noise from muffler or exhaust system does not blend into the overall vehicle noise or produces a sharp popping or crackling sound.” I am unaware of any case since which has changed the view and decision of the courts.

Devotional

Election time at last

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.” Proverbs 21:1 (NIV) The time for voting is nearly upon us. For most it can’t come soon enough. For more than a year we have been hearing campaign speeches, debates, and countless TV ads. Sadly, many of the tactics of the candidates are filled with negative comments, half-truths and skewed statistics. One questions whether we can really believe anything we hear. Yet, it is an important time, for the office of president has much influence that impacts our country for years to come. Similarly, our state and local elections will have a significant effect upon most every area of our lives. It is not my intent to campaign for any candidate. I do not intend to get into specific issues. But it is helpful to reflect on political life from a Biblical perspective. While that is a subject that could fill a book, I’d like to note just a few things I see as significant. A key truth is that, while the person or party in office has significance, ultimately God is on the throne. Everywhere in Scripture is the consistent message that “the Lord reigns, let the earth be glad.” (Psalm 97:1) We are wise to remember that any person or party is not the answer to determine the ultimate course of the future. We should not set our hopes on any particular policy or candidate, nor be too discouraged if “our” candidates don’t win. Our hope should be in God and aligning with his purposes. That is not to say we shouldn’t use our minds to seek out policies and leaders that will best serve the needs of our country and world. But the fact is that leaders rise and fall, only the Lord remains steadfast through it all. Our verse in Proverbs reminds us that it is God who directs the hearts of leaders and that God’s purposes will prevail. When it comes to policies and legislation it is important to have values that are consistent with what God reveals in his Word. We tend to think a lot about what is in my self-interest. But God’s word points us to broader themes like justice, fairness, righteousness and mercy. It is to treat others with dignity and respect, even if we might disagree on certain issues. God shows concern for the poor and the oppressed. He calls for behavior that is loving toward others and for the greater common good. God’s word calls for us not to demand our “rights” but to serve one another. God calls for righteousness and holiness in our behavior and concern for the “moral climate” of society. We should vote for those we believe to best uphold those values. Pray for God’s leading in your vote and in what takes place in the future as those who are elected carry out their responsibilities. Rest in the assurance that God works to carry out his purposes that are expressed in God’s word and will ultimately bring about the kingdom Jesus announced at his first coming. Act according to the principles taught by our Lord. As I read recently on Facebook: “Whoever is president, Jesus is still Lord.” May God be honored in the way we carry out our political responsibilities.

Marching Arrows conclude 2012 season By Kyle Kuphal A few hundred fans watched the Marching Arrows conclude their season Thursday, Oct. 25, with an indoor concert and awards ceremony at the high school. The band performed modified versions of their parade show “This is Danny Elfman” and field show “Wonderland” to fit inside the gymnasium. Director Steve Olson also added a few new features for the season finale including performing a portion of the field show in the dark with sound activated light effects attached to the instruments. Olson then handed out awards to the 46-member band and thanked the band parents and all who helped the band throughout the season for their service. The senior band members in turn thanked Olson, Ellen Germain, color guard advisor, and their faithful fans. “It truly makes our experience so much better seeing the big green blob (the mass of fans wearing green) in the stands every weekend,” said Zach Ploeger, senior trumpet player.

The county paid about $12,000 for Igor including training for the dog and Sanow. Delaney initially expected to have a dog by mid-June, but it was delayed due to scheduling conflicts. Igor is trained and certified in criminal apprehension, building search, tracking, article recovery, obedience and narcotics detection. Delaney said a dog can do the work of three officers when it comes to searching a building and is a deterrent to potentially violent individuals. “If an officer rolls up on a domestic, for example, and he gets out of the car with a K-9, things calm down

real fast,” Delaney said. “If he gets out by himself there may be some further aggression or some challenges. Our experience is no one really wants to challenge a dog.” Igor will also be available for public relation activities like public demonstrations and visits with school children. “It’s a good way for the officer to meet the public in a positive manner,” Delaney said. Once Igor finished his training last month, it was Sanow’s turn. “It was basically training me to the dog,” Sanow said. “Training me what to look for when he’s looking for narcotics, going through obedience with him, learning commands, and what to expect and look for when he’s looking for a suspect in a building or something like that.” Sanow’s training took about three weeks during which he stayed in Iowa and spent about 180 hours working with Igor. Sanow had to learn about 10 Dutch words includ-

ing ‘Zit,’ ‘Auf,’ and ‘Blijven’ (sit, down and stay), because that’s the language in which Igor was trained. “That’s not all bad in law enforcement to have a dog that’s trained commands that most people don’t know,” Delaney said. “And he’s trained to Jeff. If I shouted out the command he probably wouldn’t respond and that way you couldn’t have a perpetrator shouting something out and changing his course of action.” Igor rides in the back of Sanow’s car, which has been specially outfitted for a dog with a kennel that fills the entire space of the backseat. The car has an automatic climate control feature to protect Igor from extreme temperatures, and Sanow carries a remote control on his belt that allows him to open the doors to the car and release Igor from a distance. Igor lives with Sanow and is always on call, which means Sanow is too. The Sheriff’s Office pays for

Igor’s food and care and Sanow received a pay increase for being a K-9 handler, but it’s not enough to take on the job for the money, Delaney said. “In order to be a K-9 handler you’ve got to want to do it, you’ve got to have the drive and dedication to your duties and Jeff does,” Delaney said. “I believe in him 100 percent and the rest of the department does too.” Sanow has been with the Sheriff’s Office for about six years and was selected from among numerous applicants in the department to be the K-9 handler. It’s his first time as a K-9 handler, but his brother is a K-9 officer for the Fairmont Police Department and Sanow said he wanted to do it in part because he loves dogs. “I always thought it would be fun to do,” Sanow said. “Anything I can do to help and keep the drugs off the streets, that’s what I want to do.”

The Pipestone County Sheriff’s Office has had four dogs since it began its K-9 unit in 1999. Delaney said the average career span for

police dogs is about eight to 10 years. Its last dog, Blade, served from 2004 until early this year.

Carrow’s Continued from page 1A

The seller will remove all the coolers and compressors as part of the deal. The renovations will include tearing the former deli space out as well as the former meat department. The Second Ave. space has ample parking and will allow the almost40-year-old business to stretch out. “We’ve outgrown this facility; we can’t grow anymore,” Carrow said. “We can’t add any new product lines. To do some of the things we want to do, we have to have something more modern that’s on one level.” The space will house all three of the True Value stores: the rental store, appliance store and hardware store. The space will be more contemporary and easier to shop then the existing space, Carrow said – and female friendly for the female do-it-yourselfers (DIY) who now constitute more than one-third of True Value’s DIY customers.

“People are fed up with Washington gridlock. We need to take the best ideas from both parties and work together to balance the budget and get the economy moving again.”

“It will still be a hardware store, but it’s going to be not just the guy thing anymore, it will be both,” Carrow said. Though the space will be almost twice the size, customers won’t have to worry about getting lost in a big box. “Customer service will be carried over,” Wurster said. “When you come in, there’s going to be a friendly face that wants to help you. It will have a small-store feel yet.” “That’s what got us here and that’s what we want to stay with,” Carrow said. Though the building will be almost twice the size and the store hours will be extended, the Carrows expect to remain staffed with 14 employees, eight of those full-time. “We’ll be more efficient,” Carrow said. “We have to haul stuff from all over (now). We have basements and other buildings that we have to take stuff from.” The Carrows currently own two of the three buildings that hold their three stores. Carrow said they’d keep one of the three as a warehouse. Beyond that, “it’s early in the pro-

gram” to say what will happen with the remaining spaces. Business may be disrupted only during the final days of the move. Otherwise, the existing stores will remain open while the renovations and move are underway. “We’re excited about it,” Carrow said. “It was a long process to get here.” The expansion will occur a year in advance of the store’s 40th anniversary in 2014. Greg Carrow’s parents, Harold and Marlys Carrow, opened their Coast to Coast hardware store in the middle of the three buildings in 1974. In 1986, Greg and Connie bought the adjoining building that house the appliance store, later expanding into the third, leased space with the rental business. In 1990, Greg and Connie switched to True Value. Though the accepted offer is not known, the former Coborn’s building situated on 1.05 acres had been listed with Pro 1 Realty out of Willmar for $359,000. The seller is the L.P. Juba Revocable Trust, associated with 91-year-old Buck Juba and his son, Tom.

Arrows ousted by Huskies, 3-0 Knights upset Eagles in 3A south sub-section action By Kevin Kyle

Unfortunately for the Arrows, the seeding in the 3AA south subsection volleyball tournament ran its course as No. 4 Pipestone Area bowed out to No. 1 Jackson County Central, 3-0, Tuesday night in Jackson. With the loss, the Arrows finish their season with a record of 10-153, while the Huskies (23-5) advance to the sub-section finals against Windom at 7 p.m. Thursday night in Worthington.

Not without a fight Pipestone Area bows out of Section 3AA football playoffs with 48-21 loss to Luverne

By Kevin Kyle

Despite putting the football in the end zone three times, the Pipestone Area Arrows were little match for perennial Section 3AA football powerhouse Luverne Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals moved the ball with great aplomb throughout the game and forced several turnovers with their hard-hitting defense in claiming a 48-21section semifinal victory over the Arrows at Cardinal Field in Luverne. While the much-improved Arrows end the 2012-13 campaign at 5-5, the Cardinals (9-1) will play the Jackson County Central Huskies (8-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Mattke Field on the campus of SMSU in Marshall for the section title. Coming into Saturday’s game with the Cardinals, the Arrows knew they had to play a near-perfect game if they were going to advance to the title tilt. “You do (have to play perfect),” said Pipestone Area head coach Troy Bouman following the contest. “They’re a very good football team, there’s no question about it. They have a lot of different weapons they can use, good team speed, and it’s a tough team to beat. We can hold our heads high, though, we kept fighting and were able to put some points on the board against a very good football team.” The Arrows also knew they had to get off to a good start early in the game, but an opportunistic

Cardinal defense quickly put the kibosh on those plans as Luverne quarterback/defensive back Brett Heronimus scooped up a fumble on the Arrows’ first possession of

game. “We didn’t play our best, and the biggest thing we said was we had to have thing go our way early,” Bouman said. “We put ourselves in a

the game and raced 40 yards to the end zone. Omar Martinez tacked on the PAT, and the Cardinals had a 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the

little bit of a hole, but give credit to the kids – we kept fighting and put some points on the board.” The Arrows were able to crack

through the Cardinals’ stout garrison, but only after the hosts had crossed the goal line twice more. With 7:27 remaining in the opening period, the Cardinals marched 60 yards on six plays – capped by a 2-yard plunge by Heronimus to make it 13-0 in favor of Luverne. After forcing the Arrows to punt following a three-and-out stand, the Cardinals were again in the end zone via a Heronimus-to-Josh Slieter aerial connection down the left sideline. Martinez was again on the mark, and Luverne had a 20-0 lead with 4:09 to play in the first quarter. As Bouman indicated, the Arrows didn’t lay down. Setting up at the Arrow 35, following a kickoff that sailed out of bounds, the Arrows quickly struck back. PAS quarterback Jacob Derby (9of-26 passing for 159 yards, 1TD) located senior receiver Sawyer Pals 50 yards down field to advance the ball to the Cardinal 15. Arrow senior running back Alex Ossefoort (20 carries for 43 yards) banged forward for five yards, and Derby followed with a gain of eight before pushing his way across the goal line from two yards out. The senior field general was on the mark on the PAT, and the Arrows

PAS and SWC harriers conclude season at Section 3A meet Suda and Wallace pace Arrow boys and girls, respectively By Kevin Kyle

The Pipestone Area and Southwest Christian cross country teams wrapped up the 2012-13 campaign at the Section 3A meet Friday afternoon at the Adrian Country Club in Adrian. While neither the boys’ nor the girls’ teams from Pipestone Area were in the hunt for a state meet

berth, both ran well in the cold and blustery conditions. The Arrow boys, paced by Michael Suda’s 21st-place finish, ended up eighth out of 15 complete teams with a points total of 250.

Arrows were down by just 13 points with 3:05 remaining in the first quarter. Had the Arrows been able to halt the Cardinals’ offensive surge at that point, they might have had a chance to make a game of it. But the Cardinals responded with three touchdowns to the Arrows one in the second quarter. “We were a little disappointed with some of the assignment stuff that we talked about before the game and didn’t carry out on the field, tackling and flying to the football, things we’d talked about,” Bouman said. We didn’t do a good job in the first half with that. But we said, ‘No matter what happens, keep playing hard,’ and we did that for the most part.” Following Derby’s TD, the Cardinals kept the ball on the ground and ran out the clock in the first quarter with advances by Andrew Verhey (nine carries for 46 yards) and Skyler Wenninger (seven carries for 37 yards). Three plays into the second quarter, the Cardinals capped their 79-yards drive with a Heronimus touchdown pass to Wenninger from the Arrow 17 and, following another successful PAT from Martinez, claimed a 27-7 lead. The never-say-die Arrows roared right back, however, marching 73 yards on eight plays in a no-huddle set. The key play in the scoring drive that was finished off by a 6-yard run by Derby was a 34-yard completion to senior receiver Josh Mabon, who wrestled the ball from the interception-minded Wenninger at the Luverne 6. Still within two touchdowns with 8:26 remaining in the first half, the Arrows were in desperate need of a stop, but the Cardinals went back to their weapon-laden arsenal to tack on 14 more points before the break. An unsuccessful onsides kick gave the Cardinals the ball near midfield with eight minutes to play, and the Cardinals marched 48 yards to paydirt in nine plays (Heronimus 1-yard plunge) to go up 34-13. The potent Luverne offense scored once more to close out the half, as Heronimus located Wenninger in the left corner of the end zone from 22 yards away with 52 seconds left on the game clock. It appeared as though Wenninger was juggling the football as he stepped out of the end zone, but the touchdown stood – giving the hosts an insurmountable 41-13 halftime advantage. The Arrows continued to work hard and battle the powerful Cardinals in the second half, forcing a fumble (recovered by Derby) on Luverne’s opening series of the third quarter. The Cardinals quickly returned the favor, however, as Heronimus picked off Derby and engineered a 69-yard scoring drive that put Luverne up 48-13 with 7:35 left in the third. The Arrows were able to get in the end zone once more before the final horn, as Derby connected with Mabon from 30 yards seconds into the fourth quarter. Gunnar Manderscheid pounded ahead for a successful 2-point conversion, accounting for the final margin. Although disappointed with the outcome, Coach Bouman was quick to praise his team’s efforts, especially the efforts of his seniors. “I’m real proud of the kids; I’m real proud of the seniors for what

Continued from page 1B they did this season,” he said. “These kids took a lot of lumps as sophomores and juniors the last few years. They came in as a group, got better, and decided to do whatever it took to make our football team better, and I’m real proud of them for that. “We did a lot of great things this year, but we’re losing a lot of people too. We’re going to have a lot of new faces on the field next year, and they’re going to have to learn – get bigger and stronger, especially, and do what the coaches ask.”

E/E 42, H-BC 0 Facing the only team to have beaten them this season, the defending state champion Flying Dutchmen exacted revenge of the Patriots when it most counted. After gaining an early 6-0 advantage, Edgerton/Ellsworth stifled Hills-Beaver Creek at the line of scrimmage – offensively and defensively – in posting 42 unanswered points to claim a 42-0 Section 3 9-man semifinal football victory Saturday afternoon in Hills. With the victory, E/E advances to the section finals where it will take on undefeated Clinton-GracevilleBeardsley at noon Friday at Mattke Field on the campus of SMSU in Marshall. Defensively, E/E limited H-BC star Dalton Bass to 87 yards on 15 carries and held the Patriots to a mere 37 yards on 21 rushes over the initial three quarters of the contest. Derek Voge had 10 tackles for E/E, while Jorge Lopez matched his tackles total and picked off two HBC passes. “Our line played very well on both sides of the ball, for the most part; we did a good job controlling our gaps on defense, and our linebackers played much, much better than they did the first time we played them,” E/E head coach Andrew Fleischman said. “We did a great job of playing downhill and stopped Bass before he got going.” The Flying Dutchmen were quick to get in the end zone, marching 50 yards on their opening possession to gain a 6-0 advantage on Daniel Kramer’s first career TD – a 4-yard pass from quarterback Isaac Heard. The combatants traded punches

well into the second quarter before Blake Jouwstra broke loose for a 60yard touchdown run down the left sideline to extend E/E’s lead. “Offensively, we ran the ball very well,” Fleischman said. “We ran the ball 50 times for 300 yards, and that’s really big.” A Lopez interception set up E/ E’s next score, and Devin Hulstein capped the 41-yard drive with a 4yard TD run – giving E/E a 2-0 lead at the break. Jouwstra put the Flying Dutchmen further ahead to open the third quarter, as the senior broke several tackles en route to a 73-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The Flying Dutchmen followed that burst with a methodical 21play scoring drive that again covered 73 yards. The march, which consumed 10 minutes, 21 seconds, was capped by a 2-yard plunge by Tyler Kurrasch. Jouwstra’s 5-yard TD run and 2point conversion catch from Heard completed E/E’s rout with 4:37 left in the contest. “I think when we lost to them in that first game we were exposed to some pretty harsh realities and saw some things we had to work on,” Fleischman said. “That was our focus coming out of that loss. We wanted to win every game we could and prepare for the teams we played, but we also saw some things we needed to take care of in our own house, so to speak, and the kids did a great job addressing those things.” The Flying Dutchmen are banking on taking care of those things again as they now face a C-G-B team that will bring a similar style to that of the Patriots into the section finals. “It’s actually pretty dang similar,” Fleischman said. “They have three very, very good running backs that are very fast,” Fleischman said. “We’ll have to do a good job coming up and try to contain them. They have a new quarterback this year, so the passing game is definitely more of an option for them. And they have a big, physical line, so ultimately it’ll be the same game plan coming in – play downhill, play aggressive and be efficient offensively.”

The seventh-grade Suda was in touch with the lead pack for the initial third of the 5,000-meter race, but faded in the middle to clock in with a PAS-best time of 18 minutes, 23.54 seconds. “It was really cold, my toes were freezing,” Suda said after the race. “I tried to attack in the first and last quarters of the race. I fell back in the middle, but I thought I had a good race. The cold really tightened up my muscles, making it hard. Suda initially joined the cross country team to get in shape for a winter sport, but will likely continue with the sport next season as he had a very successful season. “I did it to get in shape for wrestling, but now that I’m in it I’ll probably stay with it.” he said. “It was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed running with the team.” Arrow junior Andrew Berg, who fought back from injury to run in the last two events of the year, finished 31st out of the 103 entrants in a time of 18:43.5. “It was all right; I thought it probably could have been better, but it could have been worse, too,” Berg

Pipestone Area libero Amanda Haupert digs a shot during the second set of Tuesday night’s 3AA south sub-section volleyball playoff match between the Arrows and JCC Huskies in Jackson. Pipestone Publishing/Kevin Kyle

Volley ing the tilt. “We talked about climbing Mount Everest this week, and we knew if we wanted to go anywhere we had to dig deep. They (JCC) were a great hitting team tonight. Their hits were on, and they were blocking us, but we never gave up. “I was proud of the way the girls played hard all night and very pleased with their improvement throughout the year. The girls took it upon themselves to work hard in the gym, and I’m very happy with the way they finished up. Our goal all year long was improvement; we improved our overall record this year, our conference record this year and improved on how far we went in the playoffs. That’s what we want in our program, and next year we have to take it one step further.” The Arrows were somewhat shell shocked by the hitting prowess of the Huskies in the early stages of the match, quickly falling behind, 8-3, in the first set. As Dulas indicated, the Huskies we hitting and blocking well – getting kills from each of their big front row players, Sydnee Donnelli, Kaylee Burmeister and Lydia Brandt. The JCC trio presented a balanced attack on the night with each player posting seven kills during the sweep. As the first set progressed, however, the Pipestone Area hitters – especially Taylor Kruisselbrink (11 kills) – began to warm up. Trailing 17-11, the Arrows received a smash down the middle of the JCC defense from Kruisselbrink and Nicole Hollingsworth (five kills) added another to put the pressure on the hosts. The Huskies countered with a pair of attacking plays from Jasmine Erickson (four blocks) to inch further ahead, but the Arrows again fought back with a back-court kill from libero Amanda Haupert (13 digs) and an ace serve from Megan Remund (10-of-11 serving, six kills) to pull within four points (23-19). Remund’s ensuing serve sailed long to give the Huskies a set point, and Donnelli put the finishing touches on the set with a blistering kill down the left sideline – giving JCC a 1-0 advantage. The Arrows had hoped Kruisslebrink’s jump serve that was so effective during the Arrows’ sweep of the Fairmont Cardinals Friday night in the sub-section quarterfinals would work well against JCC but the Huskies seemed to roll with it most of the evening. “Jackson likes those fast serves, so Taylor’s jump serve doesn’t work as well against them,” Dulas said. “We tried to serve it deep to them

Continued from page 1B because we know they don’t deal with that type of serve well, and that helped us stay in the match.” Although the Arrows didn’t score as many points in the second set, PAS was in it until the latter stages – knotting the score on eight different occasions. The deep serves of Remund, Haupert (7-of-7, 2 aces) and setter Kelly Nettik (18 set assists) kept the Huskies off balance most of the set and didn’t allow their back row players to get into a good passing rhythm. Kruisselbrink and Remund had some success at the net as did Tia Muller, who had a pair of kills and a tip for a point during the game. With the set tied at 17-all, the Huskies’ quality finally came through as Brandt and Erickson hammered back-to-back kills off precision sets from Michelle Van Epps (24 set assists) to put JCC in front 19-17. Hollingsworth then hit into the net and Donnelli pounded a shot off the block to double JCC’s lead. Erickson and Donnelli did the rest, as the former blasted two winners sandwiched around the latter’s block of Hollingsworth – putting the Huskies up two sets to none. A dejected PAS team struggled in the early stages of the third set, allowing JCC to forge a 14-7 lead. But the Arrows again fought back to within four points, 19-15, through a string of solid play at the net, from behind the service line and in the back row. A pair of ace serves from Haupert sparked the run, and Muller’s stuff at the net gave the Arrows a third consecutive point. An errant shot into the net by the Arrows gave the Huskies a side out, but Remund followed with a blast off the block and the Arrows had the Huskies on their heels. Unfortunately for the Arrows, the Huskies quickly turned things around as Burmeister pounded three kills in succession and Sydney Nyborg won a joust at the net – giving JCC a match point. Erickson, who had the serve following the Arrows’ run, delivered an ace on match point, and the Huskies celebrated their victory.

R-T-R 3, SWC 2 The seeding in the 3A south subsection semifinals didn’t play out the way the No. 1 Eagles had hoped, as the No. 5 Knights upset them in five sets, 25-21, 25-21, 19-25, 28-30, 15-5, Tuesday night in Luverne. “We don’t mind going five sets because we’ve done it several times and are conditioned for it,” R-T-R

head coach T.J. Williams said after the tilt. “We watched them play the other day, so we knew what it was going to be like coming in. We were able to get out to a quick start, and they changed it up on us a little bit in the third and fourth sets.” Conversely, the Eagles struggled in the opening sets and made some uncharacteristic errors. “We came out sluggish and slow,” SWC head coach Brian Busker said. “We missed a lot of hits and put a lot out of bounds, and they took advantage of it. We couldn’t keep any pressure on them because our passing wasn’t what we needed it to be.” Although his Eagles didn’t play up to expectations, Busker was quick to praise the hustle of the Knights. “They play very scrappy and dug balls well,” he said. “They also found the floor with a lot of tips. I guess you’d say they outsmarted us tonight.” With the victory, the Knights advance to the sub-section finals at 6 p.m. Thursday night at SMSU in Marshall, where they’ll face the Southwest United Wildcats. “It feels like a dream,” Williams said. “I knew we had good team and would play hard until the end. I knew they had it in them, but I didn’t know it was going to be so soon. “We watched SWU play tonight, and we saw some things we might be able to exploit. They have a tall girl in the middle, and we’ll have to shut her down.” Sophomore Janel Wichern continued to be a juggernaut, offensively and defensively, for the Knights as she led the team in kills and digs with 19 and 27, respectively. Leslie Willert also had a fine match in both areas for R-T-R, posting 12 kills and 15 digs on the night. Destinee Strand dished out 29 set assists, and Allison Pochardt handed out another seven. Dana Schaefer (three blocks) and Pochardt (tow blocks) each finished with five kills, while Justine Possail also had a trio of blocks for the Knights (19-12). Delanie Jorgensen and Pochardt each posted 16 digs for R-T-R. Amber Pater, who posted 16 kills and 21 digs for the match, paced the Eagles (20-6-1). Morgan Van Hulzen added 11 kills and three blocks, while Carissa Tinklenberg finished with 10 kills in a balanced SWC attack. Tianna Top also had three blocks for the Eagles. Hannah Van Dyke dished out 36 set assists for the Eagles, and Shelby Klarenbeek finished with 15 digs.

Continued from page 1B said. “You were pretty numb by the middle of the race; you couldn’t feel your feet or your hands, so it was difficult. “Staying around 11 or 12 (position) would have been great, but I definitely dropped off in the middle. I thought I was gaining some ground in the end and thought I could finish strong, but it was a hard day to pick things up toward the finish.” Berg will have one more season to try to garner that elusive state meet berth. “The plan is to get some good summer workouts in and make a push toward that,” he said. “Sometimes I have other things that get in the way, but I’ll try to make summer training a priority.” Suda and Berg will have to knock off nearly two minutes off their times to be in the running for a state meet berth, as Canby’s Nick Stoks winning time of 16:34.23 will serve as a guide for both. RV’s Alex Amunrud and Ryan Phillips were second and third with respective time of 16:53.25 and 16:58.83. Young Lucas Griebel (52nd) will also be keeping those time in mind as the PAS eighth-grader was the third Arrow to finish – clocking in at

19:43.65. Alex Abrahamson (20:28.5, 65th), Josh Stangeland (21:37.0, 90th) and Josh Homann (22:00.0, 93rd) rounded out the field for the Arrows. On the girls’ side, the Arrows were 10th out of 14 teams with 278 points while the Eagles ran incomplete. Canby claimed the team title with 77 points, while host Adrian captured second with 83 points. Individually, RV’s Kayla Huhnerkoch triumphed in a time of 14:53.0 over the 4,000-meter course. Luverne’s Madison Schandelmeier (14:56.0) and Jordin Kopplow (15:05.0) were second and third, respectively. Eighth-grader Livia Wallce paced the PAS team with a 23rd-place finish, turning in a time of 16:27.5. Seventh-grade teammate Angel Martens (17:33.0) beat out SWC’s Morgan DeRuyter (17:36.0) for 51st place, while Arrow freshman Morgan Hazelton was 63rd, out of 110 runners, in a time of 18:18.0. Arrows Paige Petersen (19:22.5) and Chelsea Olson (19:25.0) sandwiched SWC’s Leah Vanden Akker (19:24.0, 85th) in 84th and 86th, respectively. Arrow Emily Mabon was 97th overall, clocking in at 20:22.0, while

teammate Ashley Bloemendaal turned in a time of 23:51.0 to place 104th.
