Since then parts have beeneared of brush, trails have beenade, and the central part has
een opened to the sun and sky.housands of trees and plantsere soon brought in and plant-
d in natural arrangements.ver the next few years,
Wienhold planted more andore variety of plants.With some help from his
ther, Jake Wienhold, who did
arpentry work in the restora-on of the historical buildings,nd some of his relatives andiends, River Glen Gardens took
hape. People have also donatedticles for the restored build-gs.I just wanted a place where I
ould grow anything and every-ing, said Wienhold. He had
ound just that. The land is con-ucive to growing. It has the per-ct ecosystem for all these dif-rent things.Rons TravelsRon Wienhold soon obtained a
ollectors permit and began
aveling and bringing backpecimens from around theorld. He obtained tons of differ-
nt seed from around the worldplant in his garden. He likes
e Flower Factory in Wisconsinecause they sell a variety of ants. He also received thingsom private collectors.
Ron Wienhold has truly seene world. He has explored volca-
oes, rivers, and mountains allver the globe, bringing backpecimens from each place to add
his collections. He has trav-ed to Japan, Iceland, across the
Americas, Guatemala,
atagonia, New Zealand, andany more places.
His favorite trip was a trip toCosta Rica twenty-five years ago.He took a guided tour, where heended up being the guide,adding comments at each stop..He asked the tour guide if hecould add his comments, whichthe tour guide allowed. Theguide was taking notes from mewhen the tour was finished. Ihad people come up to me andsay that they would tour with me
anywhere in the world, saidWienhold.He has been guiding tours
since that fateful trip. He has ledtours through much of theUnited States, and even world-wide. He began guiding tourgroups through Preferred
Adventures of St. Paul. Ron hasgiven tours of his own garden foralmost thirty years, getting avariety of tour groups, andschools interested in the gar-dens.
In addition, Ron has givennumerous lectures at variousvenues including schools, con-
ventions, private interestgroups, and television. He wasalso a scoutmaster for thirteenyears. Almost 150 kids grew upout here at the gardens over theyears, said Wienhold. He foundmuch delight in seeing life-longinterests sparked in various indi-viduals.
His favorite place he has visit-ed was New Zealand. He said itwas one of the most fascinatingplaces he has ever seen. He alsosaid that where ever he goesearthquakes seem to follow. Heexperienced a couple earth-quakes in various parts of the
world on his tours. Wienholdcontinues to travel and explore,
hunting for fossils and artifacts.Ive hiked Yellowstone everyyear since 1961, said Ron, who
just recently returned fromanother trip to the region.
River Glen Gardens todayToday the garden is home to
40,000 trees of many differentvariety, 50 varieties of cacti, 300varieties of hosta, 100 differenttypes of grasses, and 125 lilacs,plus a few chipmunks, squirrels,snakes, birds, bees, and onedroopy faced basset-houndnamed Hoijoi. It is one of thelargest plant collections in
Minnesota.If you were to divide all 75acres into two foot squares, I betevery square would have somesort of historical fact, somethingplanted, or a story attached toit, said Wienhold. The gardenincludes an arboretum contain-ing exotic plants from all overthe world.
Ron has a special liking of Japanese-style gardens. He wasso inspired by a pebble garden hesaw in Kyoto that he made hisown. Wienhold makes all his ownJapanese lanterns out of blacksand and concrete, then adds
lichens and moss.He has many varieties of Japanese trees that require spe-cial Niwaki practices. He haspreformed this Japanese prun-ing technique for the past 50years to get the trees to shapedas they are now. He carefullycontours each branch, pruningthe branches to make them zigzag. Each spring Wienhold mustcut each candle off individuallywith scissors to get the branchesflat. The flat pads catch snow, sothe tree looks like it is blossom-ing in the winter. saidWienhold.
Wienhold has a true passionfor his gardens. Each plant has
its own distinctive possibilities,uniqueness, beauty, or story,said Wienhold. I had the chanceto experience exactly what Ronmeans. I had a very educationaland enjoyable tour from Ron andhis dog Hoijoi, and highly recom-mend that everyone else experi-ence the gardens as well.
Wienhold offers two hour pub-lic tours of the gardens throughJune, July, and August. Toursare appointment only during thefirst two weeks of each month inJune, July, and August. Call forreservations-around 7:30 a.m. isbest. There is a three dollar
admission fee to adults and chil-dren are free.
The two hour tours are typi-cally between 1 AM and 12 noon.General tours encompass a widevariety of subjects, includinglocal area history, botany, ento-mology, geology, etc. Specializedtours in any field can be request-ed.

When allergy season rollsound each year and pollen fillse air, allergy sufferers every-here are looking for fast reliableief. What people often forget is
at allergy season is not just aboutggers outside of the home.
urking in the homes of even theeanest people there are plenty of ergy triggers waiting to tormentople just as much. While medica-n is always an option, there areme steps that can be taken tolp control those triggers - in someses enough to actually avoidem triggering an allergic reac-n.The first step to naturally com-
ting allergens in the home isowing what you are allergic to.me people know their allergieseady, but what about people that
e dealing with their first boutainst allergies, or someone thatddenly seems to have a new trig-r? The easiest and best solutionto make an appointment with anergist who can pinpoint exactlyhat substances you are reacting
It costs a bit of money, but yourmfort and health are worth it.nowing what you are allergic tomost means you know exactlyhat you need to do in your homeneutralize the triggers.
The most common in home aller-gens are dust mites, pet dander,cockroaches, and mold. Keep inmind if you have plants they canalso be a trigger. Check through thecommon triggers and cross off anypossibilities that do not apply toyou - for instance if you do not havepets, then pet dander is highlyunlikely to be a problem. Likewisedon't underestimate the ability of acockroach to hide - just because youcannot see them does not meanthey are not present.
To reduce allergens lurking inyour home naturally there are sev-eral steps you can take:
* Vacuum at least once a week -twice is preferable - using a HEPA filter to make sure allergens do notre-enter your home through theexhaust vent.
* Clean and then stow thingslike stuffed animals during peakallergy season.
* Use natural cleaning productsaround your home to help combatallergen buildup on surfaces.
* Wash linens in hot water atleast once per week.
* Control mold by cleaningshowers, sinks, and toilets at leastevery other week.
* Close windows when thepollen count outside is high to
reduce the amount that enters yourhome.
There are some steps that canhelp reduce indoor allergens thatonly apply to some people.
* If you have a pet you can opt tokeep them outside or employ amore regular bathing schedule thatincludes applying dander reductionproducts. You can also limit theareas of the house they have accessto, and make sure that their bed-ding is washed as often as youwash your own.
* If you have a wood burningstove that is in use make sure it isairtight so that smoke is notreleased into the air which can con-tribute allergens.
Keep in mind that althoughallergies are mostly associatedwith the spring and summer,indoor allergens are present yearround. In some cases they can be attheir worst in the winter whenhomes have windows that areclosed and sealed to prevent drafts.
Your best course of action to combatindoor allergens is to find outexactly what you are allergic to,and then maintain a regular clean-ing schedule using natural prod-ucts to keep buildup to minimum
By Rachel RabkinIt happens to an estimated 40 to
50 million Americans every year:the stuffy head, watery eyes, runnynose and sneezing that signal sea-sonal allergies. The good news isthat you don't always have to pop apill to feel better. "Studies showthat natural approaches are effec-tive in improving allergy symp-toms," says Robert Anderson, M.D.,immediate past president of the
American Board of HolisticMedicine. "The best part is thatyou can avoid the unwanted sideeffects of traditional medicationsuch as drowsiness." We asked topalternative-medicine experts fordiet, body and mind strategies todeal with this allergy season drug-free.
Pick up some produce"About 20 percent of our
immune cells are in the intestines,so diet plays a big role in immunefunction," says Carolyn Dean,M.D., a naturopathic physician inCity Island, New York. Fruits andvegetables with the deepest hues,such as berries, spinach and redgrapes, are highest in antioxidants,which help prevent the free-radicaldamage to cells that weakensimmunity. Vitamins C and E andbeta-carotene (also found in bright-ly colored produce) have anti-inflammatory properties that mayhelp decrease the swelling in theairways that causes congestion,says Mary L. Hardy, M.D., directorof Integrative Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles. Quercitin, a plant com-pound found in apples and grapes,also inhibits inflammation in nasalpassages.
Avoid dairy, sugar, wheatand food additives
These are known to produceexcess mucus, which causes con-gestion and nasal irritation,according to Dr. Hardy. Cuttingback will help make you less sensi-tive to pollens and other irritants.
Eat spicy foodsThey can increase blood flow,
which brings oxygen to the nasalpassages and helps thin and elimi-nate mucus, says Dr. Hardy.
Drink waterFluids help clear airways by
hydrating mucous membranes:The wetter the membrane, thethinner the mucus and the moreeasily it can drain.
Choose foods that containomega-3 fatty acids .
Found in fish, almonds and flaxseeds, omega-3's may help lessenrespiratory symptoms by reducinginflammation, according to a studyfrom the State University of New
York at Stony Brook.Try herbsBe sure to check product labels
for dosages, and always talk toyour doctor about possible interac-tions with other drugs before tak-ing anything.
Stinging nettle is a naturalantihistamine that relieves irrita-tion in the nasal passages, accord-ing to Dr. Anderson.
Sodium selenite (a form of theantioxidant selenium) helps boostthe immune system and neutralizefree radicals, which can spur aller-gy attacks, says Dr. Anderson.
Aloe, when taken in supple-ment form or in a saline-basednasal spray, can also help heal irri-tated mucous membranes.
Fenugreek eases congestionby thinning mucus, says Dr. Hardy.

Led by viticulturist DennisEmslie Drummond, a vine-yard site at the CentralLakes College Agriculturaland Energy Center, Staples,is testing a number of grapevarieties, including tablegrapes. Once harvested,grapes will be tested for qual-ity with eventual possiblesale at local farmers' marketsand to wine makers. TerryNennich, a University of Minnesota horticulturist, andJohn Thull, vineyard manag-er at the University
Arboretum, are participatingin the research through the 8-county Central RegionalSustainable Development
Partnership.Central Lakes College, the
lone Minnesota partner in a17-state grape and wine pro-duction educational consor-tium, is among the recipientsof a $4.99 million NationalScience Foundation grantthat will establish a NationalCenter of Excellence.
CLC, as a member of the Viticulture and EnologyScience and Technology
Alliance (VESTA), willreceive $203,233, about$50,000 per year, during thefour-year period.
Purpose of the grant is toenable colleges across thecountry to train technicians
with industry-validated cre-dentials in grape and wineproduction.
VESTAbegan in 2003 as athree-state partnership andhas since expanded to enrollalmost 800 students from 41states while increasing itsnetwork of partner vineyardsand wineries from 64 in 2007to 140 in 2011
The VESTA Nat ionalCenter of Excellence incorpo-rates distance education toprovide two-year institutionsand the larger grape andwine production industryaccess to knowledge and skilldevelopment programs thatwould not be available if eachinstitution had to sustain a
program of its own.It will enable VESTA toexpand the viticulture andenology curriculum to includewine business and entrepre-neurship, provide Spanishversions of courses, provide acareer pathway from techni-cal certification to associateand baccalaureate degrees,and expand the awareness of career opportunities in thisthriving alternative agricul-tural industry, said Dr.Suresh Tiwari, vice presidentof academic and studentaffairs at CLC.
He said the college is par-ticipating by giving studentsacademic degree programsfor employment in the rapid-ly expanding U.S. grape andwine production industry.The purpose is not only todevelop an industry work-force, but also to createopportunities for entrepre-neurs who become theengines driving economicdevelopment.
CLC offers the Associate in Applied Science degree inEnology (wine production)and Viticulture (grape grow-ing), with shorter diplomaoptions. The coursework isonline and includes intern-ships.
A local vineyard demon-stration site at the CLC

Jig Fishing Basics By Babe Winkelman
It's really easy for professional fishermenand communicators to get extremely technicalwhen it comes to sharing fishing wisdom withthe world. I read an article recently about howto fish lead-core line off a weighted three-wayrig with a fluorocarbon snell and spinner-rig...to get down to deep, bottom-huggingwalleyes.
It was a good piece, but here are a bunchof questions for those reading this article:Have you ever fished lead core? Have youever seen it in a store? Have you ever heardof it before? Do you own three-way rigs? Haveyou ever purchased fluorocarbon line beforefor your snells? Can you recite the differencesbetween fluorocarbon and monofilament line?
Many of you reading this have answered"yes" to each and every one of those ques-tions. And I think that's great. But the vastmajority of recreational fishermen, women andchildren have never gotten that technicalwhen it comes to fishing. Most either fish livebait suspended under a float or on a jighead.Or they cast and retrieve crankbaits, spinner-baits, soft plastics, topwater plugs or swimbaits.
Most anglers like to keep it simple, and sodo I.
One of my favorite things to do is jig fish-ing. I love it. It requires very basic tackle. Infact, for the vast majority of American fresh-water jig fishing, one rod & reel combo will suf-fice. It's a fishing method that works with anykind of fishing line, be it monofilament, fluoro-carbon or braid. It doesn't cost you an arm and
leg to do it. And here's the best two parts...First, it's easy. And second, it's one of the bestways in the world to catch fish. All kinds of fish!It's a great way to catch three different specieson three different casts! How great is that?
So here are some really fundamental les-sons in jig fishing. First, what are you hopingto catch? Bass, walleye, panfish? Make aspecies decision first and this will dictate thesize jig you're going to use. Obviously a big ounce walleye jig won't have the same allureto a bluegill that's a fraction of a medium-sizedwalleye's size.
We'll start from smallest to biggest.Panfish jigs are typically in the 1/32 and 1/16
up to the 1/8 ounce variety. For bass, walleyand pike, you're looking at 1/8 to 3/8 oungenerally speaking.
The size you choose is proportionate tthe depth you're fishing and the speed which you're working the bait. You simply cretrieve a 1/32 ounce jig quickly in deep watToo light. So there is certainly some trial aerror involved in dialing in the proper weifor the species, depth and speed you're after
Another consideration here is line weigFor panfish, 4-6 pound test line will typicallnicely. Sometimes, with really light jig prestations you'll need to scale that back to 2-pound test.
Bass and walleye line in the 6-12 pounclass is perfect. If you're fishing in and aroua lot of heavy cover, then opt for the highpound test. Again, it's all dependent on thconditions in which you're fishing.
Jigs are primarily baits that fish hit on tfall or when retrieved on or near the bottoSo when you go out jig fishing, try and folthis pattern... Make a cast and let the bait frefall to the bottom. While it's falling, keepclose eye on your fishing line. If a fish hits itthe drop, you'll see the line "jump" or begmoving off to the side. This means a fish htaken the bait on the way down. Set the hoo
If nothing hits it on the drop, you'll see line suddenly go limp when the bait has macontact with bottom. Now, simply take up slack slowly and twitch or drag the bait bapausing in between each pulse on youretrieve.
This is hugely important... at EVERmoment in your retrieve, try to maintainleast some tension on your fishing line an ALWAYS keep your eyes on the line! Yoeither feel the bite or you'll see it when yoline jumps. Way too many anglers give that a big "swim" and then let their line go totlimp. They're getting bit and don't even knit! Be in contact with your jig through the and fishing rod 100% of the time.
Setting the hook on a good jig bite is onof the best feelings in fishing. So get out thewith a handful of affordable jigs in a varietsizes and styles and become a jig fishermanIt's the most basic and productive way to catmore fish and have a great time doing it!
Good fishing!

most of your child's 60 or more min-utes of physical activity each day.This can include either moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such asbrisk walking, or vigorous-intensityactivity, such as running. Be sure toinclude vigorous-intensity aerobicactivity on at least 3 days per week.
Include muscle strengtheningactivities, such as gymnastics orpush-ups, at least 3 days per weekas part of your child's 60 or moreminutes. Include bone strengthen-ing activities, such as jumping ropeor running, at least 3 days per weekas part of your child's 60 or moreminutes.
Adults Ages 18-642 hours and 30 minutes (150
minutes) of moderate-intensity aer-obic activity (i.e., brisk walking)every week and muscle-strengthen-ing activities on 2 or more days aweek that work all major musclegroups (legs, hips, back, abdomen,chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR
1 hour and 15 minutes (75 min-utes) of vigorous-intensity aerobicactivity (i.e., jogging or running)every week and muscle-strengthen-ing activities on 2 or more days aweek that work all major musclegroups (legs, hips, back, abdomen,chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR An equivalent mix of moderate-
and vigorous-intensity aerobicactivity and muscle-strengtheningactivities on 2 or more days a weekthat work all major muscle groups(legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest,shoulders, and arms).
Adults 65 years of age orolder
If you're 65 years of age or older,
are generally fit, and have no limit-ing health conditions you can followthese general guidellines:
Older adults need at least: 2hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes)of moderate-intensity aerobic activi-ty (i.e., brisk walking) every weekand muscle-strengthening activitieson 2 or more days a week that workall major muscle groups (legs, hips,back, abdomen, chest, shoulders,and arms).
OR1 hour and 15 minutes (75 min-
utes) of vigorous-intensity aerobicactivity (i.e., jogging or running)every week and muscle-strengthen-ing activities on 2 or more days aweek that work all major musclegroups (legs, hips, back, abdomen,chest, shoulders, and arms).
OR An equivalent mix of moderate-
and vigorous-intensity aerobicactivity and muscle-strengtheningactivities on 2 or more days a weekthat work all major muscle groups(legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest,shoulders, and arms).
Healthy Pregnant orPostpastum WomenIs it okay to be physically active
while I'm pregnant and after I havemy baby?
Yes! If you are a healthy preg-nant or postpartum woman, physi-cal activity is good for your overallhealth. For example, moderate-intensity physical activity, such asbrisk walking, keeps your heart andlungs healthy during and afterpregnancy. Physical activity alsohelps improve your mood through-out the postpartum period. Afteryou have your baby, exercise helpsmaintain a healthy weight, andwhen combined with eating fewercalories helps with weight loss.
Healthy women should get atleast 150 minutes (2 hours and 30minutes) per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such asbrisk walking, during and aftertheir pregnancy. It is best to spreadthis activity throughout the week.
Healthy women who already dovigorous-intensity aerobic activity,such as running, or large amountsof activity can continue doing soduring and after their pregnancyprovided they stay healthy and dis-cuss with their health care providerhow and when activity should beadjusted over time.
Remember:10 minutes at a time is fineWe know 150 minutes each week
sounds like a lot of time, but youdon't have to do it all at once. Notonly is it best to spread your activi-ty out during the week, but you canbreak it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. As long asyou're doing your activity at a mod-erate or vigorous effort for at least10 minutes at a time.
Adding Physical Activity To
Your LifeThere are a lot of ways to get thephysical activity you need!
If you're thinking, "How can Imeet the guidelines each week?"don't worry. You'll be surprised bythe variety of activities you have tochoose from. To meet the guidelinesfor aerobic activity, basically any-thing counts, as long as it's done ata moderate- or vigorous-intensityfor at least 10 minutes at a time.
Stick With ItBy picking physical activities you
enjoy and that match your abilities,it will help ensure that you stickwith them.

THE GENER AL STORE
204 Central Ave.
320-859-5159
A Little History LessonThe General Store was originally a hardware store connect-
ed to the current drug store. In 1987 Gregg Anderson pur-chased it and in 1989 he added a small section of sportinggoods. By 2000 the hardware part of the store was complete-ly dissolved and sporting goods was the focus. The GeneralStore is the only Winchester advisory center in centralMinnesota and one of only a handful of Browning full line deal-ers. Jed Fiskness, manager of the General Store and employ-ees are extremely knowledgeable in every area of the store.The General Store is Minnesotas largest gun store in centralMinnesota.
For 34 years, Antiques Osakis was a furniture store andfuneral parlor. Prior to this it was a hardware store. The mainfloor was the furniture store with the basement serving as thebody preparation and embalming area and the upper levelwas the funeral parlor. An elevator from the basement wouldtake the body to the upper floor for viewing. Today this build-ing is owned by Barb Tilbury and is a fantastic store filled withtwo floors of wonderful antiques.

(1830-1885)
THE golden-rod is yellow;The corn is turning brown;The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweedIts hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest,In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brook-sideMake asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morningThe grapes' sweet odors rise; At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
By all these lovely tokensSeptember days are here,With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But none of all this beautyWhich floods the earth and air
Is unto me the secretWhich makes September fair.
'Tis a thing which I remember;To name it thrills me yet:One day of one September
I never can forget.

A severe winter followed by a wet springntributed to a significant decline ininnesotas pheasant counts. According toe Minnesota Department of Naturalesources (DNR), the pheasant populationdex declined 64 percent from 2010 and is
percent below the 10-year average.Contributing factors include: A second consecutive severe winter,
sulting in hen counts 72 percent below the-year average. Cold, wet weather during the April
rough June nesting period, resulting inood counts 75 percent below the 10-year
average. Loss of nearly 120,000 acres of grass
habitat enrolled in farm programs such as theConservation Reserve Program (CRP) since2007.
Severe winters combined with cold, wetsprings are doubly hard on pheasant popula-tions. Thats because fewer hens survive thewinter and those that do are less successfulin producing broods.
Pheasant hunters are expected to har-vest about 250,000 roosters this fall, the low-est harvest since 1997. This compares toharvests that have exceeded 500,000 roost-
ers five of the past eight years. The 500,000bird harvests correspond with a string of mildwinters and high CRP enrollment.
We expect hunters to harvest a similar number of birds in 2011 as they did in 2001,which was another year with a severe winter followed by a cold, wet spring said KurtHaroldson, a wildlife biologist for the DNRsFarmland Wildlife Population and ResearchGroup in Madelia. Haroldson noted surveyresults indicated an unusually low ratio of hens to roosters. This suggests hen mortalitywas high or hens were nesting or caring for young broods during the survey. If the late
nesting effort was greater than normal, the2011 pheasant population and the fall harvestmay be higher than forecast. Pheasant pop-ulations can rebound quickly given goodhabitat, mild winter weather and favorablespring nesting conditions.
Minnesota is not the only state to seepheasant index declines. Wildlife officials inSouth Dakota reported a 46 percent popula-tion index decline. North Dakotas spring pop-ulation survey showed a decline, too.
The pheasant population estimate is partof the DNRs annual roadside wildlife survey.The survey summarizes roadside counts of
pheasants, gray (Hungarian) partridge, ctontail rabbits, white-tailed jackrabbits other wildlife observed in the early mornhours during the first half of August throuout the farmland region of Minnesota.
The highest pheasant counts were in theast central region, where observers repored 51 birds per 100 miles of survey drivHunters will find fair harvest opportunitiepockets of south central and southweMinnesota, but harvest opportunities in mof Minnesotas pheasant range are ratepoor to very poor. This years statewipheasant index was 23 birds per 100 mildriven, the lowest index since 1986. Tpheasant index in southwest Minnesota, tyically the states best pheasant range, fell percent from last year to 19 birds per 1miles driven.
Haroldson said the most important hatat for pheasants is grassland that remainundisturbed during the nesting seasoProtected grasslands account for about spercent of the states pheasant rangeFarmland retirement programs such aCRP, Conservation Reserve EnhancemenProgram, Reinvest in Minnesota anWetlands Reserve Program make up thlargest portion of protected grasslands in tstate.
High land rental rates and competinuses for farmland diminish the economattractiveness of farmland conservation pgrams. During the next three years, cotracts for 550,000 acres of CRP lands ascheduled to expire. If not re-enrolled, twould reduce CRPacres in Minnesota by percent.
To help offset continued habitat losscaused by reductions in conservation seaside acreage, DNR has accelerated acqusition of Wildlife Management Areas in farmland region of Minnesota. DNR asupports habitat conservation on privalands by working with a variety of partnerthe Farm Bill Assistance Partnership aWorking Lands Initiative. Also, nearly 10acres of private property will be open to plic hunting through the states new Walk Access program.
Minnesotas pheasant index falls 64 percent from 2010
