When you think bear hunt-ing, you may get the image of a burly, north woodsman hold-ing a large rifle while stalking a massive beast. You may be surprised then to meet Jennifer Nolte, of Chatfield. The small-framed mother of three young children is hardly the stereo-typical hunting image, but her skills with a bow are nothing less than impressive. Nolte, along with husband Chad and friend Tim Melver, of Preston, recently returned

from a hunting excursion in Ignace, Ontario with quite a tale to tell. While the trio is still awaiting official news, fol-lowing a 60-day wait period, Jennifer may have tagged the largest black bear ever shot by a woman. There’s no doubt that the bear will at least make the top ten record book. With the season opening this past August 15, the trio made arrangements to hunt through an outfitter. The way the system works is much dif-ferent than the lottery-type hunting here, due to the high number of bears in Ontario.

“The outfitter purchases a per-mit for a 150 square mile piece of land in a bear management area,” says Melver. “It’s wild hunting, on provincial land, exclusively open to only non-residents, and we purchase our tags through the outfitter. It’s actually really affordable.” While it was Melver’s fourth bear hunting trip, it was the Noltes’ first bear expedition. In two days, Melver says the trio saw six bears and they tagged their bears in three days. To some it may sound terrifying,

Robert Vogel, Preserva-tion Planner, explained to the Chatfield City Council at their August 27 meeting the process to designate the Center for the Arts as a local landmark. Paul Novotny was absent. Vogel had submitted a report to the Heritage Preservation Commission detailing the his-tory and plans for the 1936 auditorium and the 1916 high school buildings in January. Another copy was sent to the Minnesota Historical Society for review and comment. The Minnesota Historical Society noted in a June letter that the “auditorium-gymnasi-um is a well-preserved example of a Public Works Administra-tion project, thereby serving to illustrate the benefits of the federal relief program at the local level.” The letter contin-ued that the Chatfield High School and Auditorium Gym-nasium is “an ideal candidate for local designation under the City’s local preservation ordi-nance.” Vogel commented that all the legal requirements are in order. He said both buildings were built to last and saving the buildings can be a benefit in the future. The city can save by recycling the old buildings. Vogel suggested the buildings give a more interesting look to the city and would have been a $7 to $8 million investment in today’s dollars. He maintained local designation can open doors to more funding sources.

Public Hearing Councilor Ken Jacobson asked if this designation would

limit renovation in any way. Vogel explained it is called rehabilitation rather than res-toration, by using as much of the old as possible while making it usable in the twenty-first century. Jacobson asked if modern materials can be used and Vogel said they could be. Robert Thesenvitz noted he was a 30-year resident of the city and confirmed he had voted to save Potter Auditori-um. He said his fear is that we open up the door, causing tax-payers to foot the bill as they did for the Thurber Building. He asked if the designation will open up tax obligation to the whole district instead of just the city. Later, City Clerk Joel Young confirmed it would not open up a larger tax base. Thesenvitz maintained that the auditorium was supposed to be self supporting. He com-plained that meetings have been held in the afternoon when working people can not attend, resulting in a lack of public input. He asked the council to seriously look at the benefit of this designation and inquired about the possibility of a listing on the National Historic Register. Young stated local designation is complete-ly different than the national register. Vogel commented it would be redundant to have both. He said he didn’t think there would be enough benefit for the cost. Councilor Josh Thompson asked if the designation will open doors for more funding.

Preston, Mn

By Karen Reisner Recent reports from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Pew Research Center are evidence that the era of gridlock in Congress has not been healthy for A m e r i c a n p e r s o n a l pocketbooks or govern-ment financ-es. When the United States entered World War II, Winston Churchill declared, “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing. . .after they have exhausted all other pos-sibilities.” Apply his thinking to our Congress and we have a very eloquent way of saying, our lawmakers “kick the can down the road” or avoid the inevitable until they are cor-nered and forced into making the hard decisions. Delay has only magnified the economic problems. The failure of our lawmakers to develop a long-term balanced plan that will both increase rev-enue and trim government pro-grams including Medicare and defense is a threat to our eco-nomic future well being. Many believe a long-term plan that allows for measured changes so as to not damage the current slow economic recovery is a necessity.

CBO On August 22 the CBO in its annual summer update main-tained that if Congress does nothing and lets the scheduled

tax policies, including the end of the Bush tax cuts and the payroll tax holiday, and spend-ing policies, scheduled reduc-tions in domestic and defense spending, take effect at the beginning of 2013, tax revenue will go up and spending will go down and likely drive the country into recession. Result-ing job loses could cause unem-ployment to rise over nine per-cent. This huge shift, anything but measured plan, would be a significant shock to the econo-my. The deal for the automatic spending cuts was signed into law a year ago, and there still is no one at the switch to keep the slow motion train from going over the cliff. There is a consensus among most law-makers that they need to do something, but as usual, the polarization of Congress is get-ting in the way. The projected deficit for 2013 would be about $500 billion less than the $1.1 tril-lion projected for 2012 if Con-gress does nothing. If the above policies were continued for 10 years, the CBO estimates the country’s debt held by the pub-lic would be reduced from 73 percent of GDP in 2012 to 58 percent of GDP in 2022. However, if Congress moves to continue current policy, then deficits will be almost 90 per-cent of GDP by 2022. Current policy is not a viable option, nor is doing nothing, thereby letting the so-called fiscal cliff happen. Both parties have participat-ed in the gridlock or the inac-tion that has put this slowly recovering economy at risk.

With the upcoming elections lawmakers lack the courage to make the tough decisions. It is reasonable to believe that with the country nearly as polarized as Congress neither party is going to get a “mandate.” Not much will be different after the elections except the next elec-tion will be two years off. If Congress would act before the election, the electorate would more truly know where serv-ing congressional people stand on the issues. Bipartisan com-missions have come up with reasonable and studied plans to deal with the ballooning deficits and the country’s grow-ing debt, taking into account the long-term needs and future demands of entitlement pro-grams, due to projected growth in numbers of elderly people in the coming years.

Pew Research Center For the first time since World War II, during the decade from 2000 to 2010, the middle class is less prosperous than the pre-vious decade. Pew refers to these years as “the lost decade.” It found a shrinking middle class with declining income and wealth. Twenty-five hun-dred and eight adults were sur-veyed, of which 1,287 identi-fied themselves as middle class. Rich Morin, senior editor for the Pew Research Center, maintained that political scien-tists believe the key to a func-tioning democracy is a func-tioning middle class. Upper income households were ‘more’ prosperous in the ten-year period with 46 per-cent of total household income in 2010 compared to 29 per-cent of the total household

income enjoyed by this group in 1971. The middle class per-cent of total household income fell from 62 percent in 1971 to 45 percent in 2010. Middle class net worth has dropped 28 percent over the last decade partly due to lost value in their homes. Middle class income has fell about $3,500 over the last decade. People put most of the blame for the lost decade on Congress, 62 percent. They also blame financial institutions, larger corporations, and foreign com-petition to a lesser extent. More people put blame on the Bush administration (44 percent), than blame the Obama admin-istration (34 percent). Only

about eight percent place some of the blame on themselves. I agree Congress deserves most of the blame due to a general reluctance to work together to solve fiscal prob-lems facing the country. The delay only puts more strains on the economy. Regardless of their distinctly different under-lying political philosophies, the only reasonable solution is a blending of ideas and vision toward goals of fiscal growth while protecting the vulner-able. The country’s problems have grown in part due to the inability of members of Con-gress to put a balanced long-

range fiscal plan into place. This will avoid across the board indiscriminate spending cuts, will deal with the large deficits, will reform the ridiculously complicated tax code, which is riddled with loopholes, and will make necessary reforms to Medicare and other entitlement

programs to preserve them for years to come. In addition, Congress deserves blame for their general inability to define the problems truthfully to the American people. Congress has only a 12 percent approval rat-ing; well deserved.

Doing Our Part Both of these reports illustrate what needs to be addressed by Congress. Con-

gress has exhausted all other possibilities, now it is time for them to do the right thing for the country. They have con-tinued to pass legislation that doesn’t attempt to put any real-istic fix into place, but only to keep the government limping along until the next deadline approaches. This is not sustain-able and has a negative impact on the economy.

It is our job to become edu-cated on the issues and the can-didates. Many political ads we are being subjected to provide misinformation and sometimes outright untruths. Allow your-self to get your information from a variety of media sourc-es. Most of us tend to seek out information sources that conform to our point of view, but this limits our understand-

ing of the issues. We need to do our homework to learn about the candidates and exercise our right to vote or we can’t com-plain about the lawmakers we get. Let’s hope Churchill is cor-rect, that Americans and Con-gress can be counted on to do the right thing. To this point, surely, all other possibilities have been exhausted.

Letter about sand miningTo the Editor, Jim, thank you for your excel-lent letter to the editor about sand mining. You hit the nail right on the head. A group of people that their only intention is to kill the sand mining industry or any other project does no one any good. Also, I see that the L. S. P. (Land Stewardship Project) is opposing it. Their own agenda is always very narrow and political. Usually they want to zone their neighbors out of business. They to want property rights for them-selves; but not their neighbors. We do need zoning regulations, but they need to be reasonable. Fillmore County needs every job possible. The county has about the lowest per capita income in S.E. Minnesota. We have employment issues and health care issues. Our work

By Lee H. Hamilton I was first elected to Congress in 1964. That was the year Lyn-don Johnson won a full term as president in a landslide. If ever a president had a popular mandate to pursue his goals, it was LBJ in the few years that followed that election. Yet one of my strongest memories of him is not of a president rev-eling in par-tisan suprem-acy, but of his caution-ing against it. Johnson used to love meeting with freshman members of Congress, and after taking office we Democrats who’d been elected along with him had every expectation that he would allow us to bask at the expense of our Republican colleagues. He didn’t. “I’m an American first,” he told us. “And I’m a Democrat second.” It was a bracing affirmation of a quality essential to national leadership — a firm conviction that the good of the country comes first, even if it runs coun-

ter to the interests of one’s politi-cal party. I can’t help thinking of it today, in an era when deep, seemingly unbridgeable differ-ences divide Democrats and Republicans, and when these divisions are being stoked by the current presidential campaign. It has been apparent almost since the beginning that our nation’s welfare rides on how well political leaders balance the needs of the country against their partisan goals. In 1796, preparing to step down from the presidency, George Washington devoted much of his Farewell Address to this question, and to the destructiveness of what he called “the fury of party spirit.” Surveying with alarm the regional discord and the growing hostility between Federalists and the Republicans that took hold in the final years of his second term, he set out to warn Ameri-cans that the very permanency of the Union depended on “a government for the whole.” Other national leaders under-stood the sentiment. Patrick Henry’s famous statement, “United we stand, divided we fall” was followed by these words: “Let us not split into

Shouldn’t we all be Americans first?factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.” “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists,” Thomas Jefferson said in his first inaugu-ral address. Each of these leaders signaled a bedrock belief in the importance of working together to bridge differences and find common ground because the nation’s wel-fare demanded it, regardless of the dictates of a party’s extremes. Now, I’m not urging that we be naive. We’re not going to abolish parties, and we shouldn’t. They help us organize our politi-cal choices, define and advocate issues, and make sense of elec-tions. But if we’re not careful, they can be carried to such an extreme that they divide government, when what we need is unity of government. We need it in for-eign affairs, where the more unit-ed we are as a nation, the stron-ger we are. And we need it in domestic policy, where excessive partisanship agitates the people and creates animosities among them. It leads to distrust within Congress, mistrust of Washing-

Lee Hamilton

ton, weaker administration of government, and an inability to resolve the problems that press against our future. If you doubt any of this, just look around. It is extraordinarily difficult to create a government that works together for the common good. One reason most presidents end up talking about the unity of the country and of government is because they, more than most of us, can see the centrifugal forces of region, ethnicity, religion, and ideology at work. They know that there is no magic formula for balancing them all. But in this era of unforgiving partisanship, it is too easy to forget the importance of trying — and of working hard not to

fan the flames of divisiveness. It is crucial to avoid painting the other side as un-American or eager to betray the national inter-est, just as it is to recognize that we have more in common than we have differences. Our differences are impor-tant; they are part of who we are as a nation. But if we want to overcome our challenges and preserve our greatness, unity is indispensable. The great work of our democracy, as it has been for over 200 years, is learning how to reconcile the two. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

force leaves the county for work in nearby counties and there goes our young families. It is apparent in our schools and churches that the county’s young population is going downhill. Lets use our energy towards a positive point of view and everyone will be ahead. The journey is not going to be an easy one anyway.

Olmsted County District Court

Pine Island- MN. The Pine Island City Council voted Tues-day night August 21 to adopt the City’s 2013 budget. Adopting the preliminary budget is the first step prior to the City certi-fying the tax levy to the County in December 2012. The 2013 budget levy amount of $1,090,000 is 9.765 percent or $122,201 less than that of 2012. The reduction in levy will not impact level of public service. The approved reduction in tax levy is expected to maintain operating reserves at a level above 25 percent. If Local Govern-ment Aid (LGA) comes in at the amounts certified to the City is 2011 then City operating reserve will end up at around 35 per-

cent or close to where the City reserves should be. “The 2013 budget dem-onstrates that we are working within our means to provide City services while lowering the local tax burden” Said Mayor Paul Perry. He added that City staff have taken concrete steps to ensure cost savings and to main-tain expected levels of service.” City Administrator Algadi said that recent consolidation of Waste Water Treatment facilities with Public Works Department saved the City an average of $60,000/year. This consolida-tion will ensure proper long term maintenance and operation of City facilities. Add to that the fact that the City refinanced its

some of its debt to take advan-tage of lower interest rates earlier this year. Algadi said that the City’s bond rating remains very strong at an “A+” the highest rating for a City our size. The City is moving to pro-gram various investment proj-ects in the next five years to help complete street projects. In addition, the City Council directed staff to move forward with obtaining total price esti-mates for repairing the City’s pool. “The main goal of the repairs is to make sure we have a viable pool facility for the fami-lies of Pine Island for the next 20 years,” Mayor Perry stated.

ROCHESTER, MN—American Red Cross volunteer Gary Peterson of Rochester went to Hattiesburg, Mississippi on Monday to assist as the Red Cross prepares for Hurri-cane Isaac in the southeast. Peterson has volunteered on Red Cross relief operations in the past, and is ready to be dispatched to other areas of the southeast as the need arises from the flooding expected from Isaac. In response to Hurricane Isaac, Peterson will be working as a gov-ernment liaison supervisor and will coordinate Red Cross efforts with those of city, state and national offi-cials to ensure effective service for those who may be displaced by the storm and anticipated flooding. He is expected to remain in the region for three weeks. The American Red Cross has already deployed more than 1,000 trained disaster workers throughout Florida and has materials and sup-plies positioned for use, including pre-stocking 30,000 ready-to-eat meals in Florida and two mobile kitchens sent to the state. Meanwhile, the Red Cross also is mobilizing disaster workers, emer-gency vehicles, mobile kitchens and relief supplies to Alabama, Loui-siana and Mississippi as Isaac is

expected to move into that area in the next few days. The Red Cross is urging residents in areas that could be affected by the storm to be pre-paring now. Isaac is expected to cause serious flooding throughout the region. People can donate to this and other Red Cross relief efforts by visiting www.redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or texting the word REDCROSS to

About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional sup-port to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation’s blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

The public is invited to the Rochester Public Library on Monday, September 17, 2012, for an open house from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. to celebrate the launch of the new book-mobile. The vehicle will be parked on 2nd St. SE in front of the library for the public to climb aboard and take a look inside. The celebration contin-ues in the library auditorium with light refreshments and a drive down memory lane with the old bookmobiles. Mayor Ardell Brede will be presenting at 11:00 a.m. The concept of a bookmobile in Rochester was first brought up in 1946 by librarian Lucille Gottry. It wasn’t until 20 years later, October 24, 1966, that the bookmobile became a real-ity when the first vehicle went into service with a rotating col-lection of 5,000 volumes select-

ed to appeal to both children and adults. A larger bookmo-bile replaced the original in 1978 and yet an even larger one replaced that one in 1997. The newest bookmobile will arrive in Rochester during the second week of September and will go into service soon after. It will be even larger than the last and features green technology: a hybrid drive train and gen-erator, solar panels, LED lights and recycled rubber floors. Currently the Rochester Pub-lic Library bookmobile has the highest circulation of any other bookmobile in Minnesota. It visits over 77 different neigh-borhoods in the City of Roch-ester and Olmsted County tar-geting areas in the community where there are geographic, transportation, economic and other barriers to using the main library.

ROCHESTER, Minn. – When Dick Read’s refrigerator broke his older brother Mike got him a new one. When his garbage disposal broke Mike replaced that too. And when Dick was bed-ridden with ill-ness it was Mike who insisted he go to Mayo Clinic for care. The Hugo, Minn., man spent July 2011 in Rochester under-going extensive treatments for multiple myeloma. He needed another repair done – a replace-ment door panel for his 1998 Ford Taurus. In cruising the Rochester Ford website, Dick happened upon an ad for the annual PossAbilities Classic Car Raffle and decided to try his luck at winning the prize – a new Mustang convertible – for his Good Samaritan brother Mike to repay him his favors. A long-time Mustang lover, Mike also vied to win the raffle. That summer neither Read brother took home the Mustang; it was won by a retired farmer in Oronoco. But on Aug. 17, 2012, at Strikers Corner in Stewart-ville a different tale unfolded. Dick left his job at Delta in Bloomington, Minn., at 6:30 p.m. and hit the road hoping to make the 8 p.m. raffle, held in conjunction with the Stewie Cruisers Car Show in Stew-artville. He parked by a fire

hydrant outside Strikers and joined the gathered crowd just as PossAbilities client Merle reached into the raffle wheel and pulled out a ticket Dick had bought in Mike’s name. “I heard Mike’s name announced clear as a bell,” Dick said after-ward. “I was a little teary and totally psyched.” Mike was reached at home in Mounds View and said he was watching Scooby-Doo with his four-year-old granddaughter. On Aug. 20 he, his wife Karen and Dick car pooled to Roch-ester to claim the 2012 V6 con-vertible Mustang. Mike drove it home and added it to his Mustang collection of a 1966 rebuilt convertible and a 1967 coupe that he’s been “resurrect-ing for the last 32 years.” It’s Mike, older by one year, who is the jokester of the family. In fact, remarked Karen, many of Mike’s friends didn’t believe him when he announced he won a new Mustang through a non-profit raffle in Rochester. Dick is the effusive brother, prone to tears, hugs and photo taking. PossAbilities staff nick-named them “the Read boys” and sent them off with the car and Agency t-shirts on Aug. 20. As for Dick’s health, his Mayo doctors cleared him of

all restrictions so he’s back on the treadmill, lifting weights and plans to snowmobile this winter. And as for the PossAbil-ities 2013 Classic Car Raffle the Read brothers agree, “We’ll be there.” PossAbilities is a non-profit agency serving children and adults with disabilities in Roch-ester, Minn. Its Classic Car Raffle is a fundraiser held each summer.


ST. PAUL — Minnesota law enforcement officers have arrested 605 drunk drivers two weekends into a statewide DWI enforcement campaign, according to Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety preliminary reports. The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign runs through Labor Day. State officials are urging Minnesotans to plan ahead for a sober ride to avoid the dangers and harsh consequences of a DWI. A similar DWI crackdown to close out summer in 2011 resulted in 1,787 DWI arrests. “There is no excuse for drunk driving, but far too often people find an excuse and find themselves in serious trouble,” says Lt. Eric Roeske of the State Patrol. “Close out the end to summer safely by having a safe and sober ride arranged in advance of celebrating.” Minnesota Drunk Driving

Facts During the past five years, 2007–2011, 651 people were killed in Minnesota drunk driving crashes, accounting for one-third of the state’s 2,165 total road deaths: 2011 — 111; 2010 — 121; 2009 — 112; 2008 — 137; 2007 — 170. Offi-cials say the 34 percent reduction in drunk driving deaths from five years ago points to motorist making smart plans for a sober ride and the effectiveness of enhanced enforce-ment and education campaigns. In 2011, 29,257 motorists were

arrested for DWI, the average alco-hol-concentration of an offender was 0.16. One in seven Minnesota drivers have a DWI on record. Consequences of a DWI A DWI offense can result in loss of license for up to a year, thousands in costs and possible jail time. Repeat DWI offenders, as well as first-time offenders arrested at 0.16 and above alcohol-concentration level, must use ignition interlock in order to regain legal driving privileges, or face at least one year without a driver’s license. Offend-ers with three or more offenses are required to use interlock for three to six years, or they will never regain driving privileges. Each year in Minnesota, 40 per-cent of the alcohol-related traffic deaths involve repeat offenders. Tips to Prevent Drunk Driving •Planforasaferide—designatea sober driver, use a cab/public transportation, or stay at the loca-tion of the celebration. Let family/friends know you are available to offer a safe ride home. •Buckle up and wear protec-tive motorcycle gear — the best defenses against a drunk driver. •Report drunk driving — call911 when witnessing impaired driving behavior. Be preparedto provide location, license plate number and observed dangerous behavior.About the Office of Traffic Safety The Minnesota Department of

605 drunk driving arrests to-date during statewide campaignPublic Safety Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) designs, implements, and coordinates federally funded traffic safety enforcement and education programs to improve driver behav-iors and reduce the deaths and serious injuries that occur on Min-nesota roads. OTS also administers state funds for motorcycle safety programs and child seats for needy families. OTS is an anchoring partner of the state’s Toward Zero Deaths traf-fic safety initiative. A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practic-

ing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — educa-tion, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

A Playwright for All Sea-sons—Ibsen and An Enemy

of the PeopleBy Rachel Hammer Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People is a 19th cen-tury Norwegian socia l-problem play examining what happens to the politi-cal minority in times of crisis. Ibsen asks how those at the ide-ological outposts of society treated when their views clash with the majority under the spotlight? What is truth without power? Dr. Stock-mann, a citizen in the Norwegian equivalent of Pine Island, MN, discovers that the community bathing springs are contaminated with dangerous toxins. As the town’s doctor, he believes it is his duty to alert the public. Because the springs are small town’s

only tourist attraction, Stock-mann’s brother, the mayor, wants to keep the health report quiet. What ensues is a political dog fight between the town doctor, the mayor,

the popular press, Stock-mann’s wife and children, and eventual-ly, the whole town as pres-sure builds and societal discomfort is systematically concentrated upon one f i g u re — t he truth teller. Ibsen wrote An Enemy of the Peo-

ple, Arthur Miller says, as a response to widespread disap-proval of his play Ghosts. To Victorian audiences, Ghosts was shocking and sordid because the characters were susceptible to venereal disease despite their moral lifestyles.

Ibsen had hoped Ghosts would be regarded as revolutionary, when instead, it was regarded as revolting. So in Dr. Stockmann’s char-acter, it is not hard to see a pride-aching Ibsen peeking through the mask. Stockmann believes he offers the public the truth. When the truth is refused by the majority, he becomes the “enemy of the people” for holding fast to it. In literature as retaliation, I muse upon where to draw the line between the charm of an appropriate touché and the immaturity/awkwardness of an overextended backlash. In this case, Ibsen not only uses the play to backlash, but he drives a freight train with the I’m Right! caboose straight through the theater. Stock-mann’s righteous tirades go on and on. He will not stand for the “colossal stupidity of the authorities!” Ibsen seems to be speaking on his own behalf in speeches like the following: “I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth. . . These ‘majority truths’ are like last year’s cured meat—like rancid, tainted ham; and they are the origin of the moral scurvy that is rampant in our communities!” This point is salient when first made. It is diluted as Dr. Stockmann returns to it

Rachel Reader

again and again and again. Fortunately, Arthur Miller stripped many of these repeti-tive speeches in his 1950 adap-tation, and because he updated some of Ibsen’s antiquated ref-erences, trimmed the ending (three acts instead of five), and focused the plot (rather than Ibsen’s personal agenda regarding Ghosts), I recom-mend the Miller version of the play rather than any earlier translation. There are instances in the text, however, that could be construed as though Ibsen intentionally wrote Dr. Stock-mann’s character going too far (Stockmann says the antago-nistic majority ought to be “razed to the ground” and “exterminated like vermin” for disapproving of him and rejecting of the truth). Perhaps Ibsen did so to exhibit his own repentant self-awareness, to suggest that in his reac-tion to the critics of Ghosts he too went too far. Late in the

play, Dr. Stockmann devolves to exude nauseating grandi-osity, likening himself to a savior figure, or a prophet with a “great revelation” to deliver unto the people. The people react strongly, label-ing Stockmann blasphemous (verbatim commentary from Ghosts reviews); perhaps Ibsen was suggesting that the people were right in saying so. Regardless of Ibsen’s per-sonal agenda for this play, it is a fascinating read for an audi-ence 130 years after An Enemy of the People debuted (1882) who will realize that frustra-tion with corrupted leadership, choke-chain tethering (Ibsen calls “moderation”) of the indi-vidual autonomy to the public interest, and danger for those holding views contrary to the majority are ageless issues— in fact, they seem to be seizing front and center stage as we take our seats in the public theater for another election season.

St. Charles, MN

Rochester, MN – In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 15 minutes, claiming more than 36,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute, with close to one mil-lion people attempting suicide annually. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. among adults 18-65, the second leading cause of death among teens and young adults, and individuals ages 65 and older account for 16 percent of all suicide deaths. This is a public health issue that does not discriminate by age, gen-der, ethnicity, or socio-eco-nomic status. Suicide takes an enormous toll on family, friends, co-work-ers, and the entire community. AFSP provides opportunities for survivors of suicide loss to get involved through a wide variety of educational, out-reach, awareness, advocacy and fundraising programs. AFSP is the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advo-cacy, and to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.

By walking in AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Communi-ty Walks you will be walk-ing with thousands of people nationwide to raise money for AFSP’s vital research and edu-cation programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide, and assist survivors of suicide loss. More than 85 cents of every dollar goes directly to AFSP’s research, education, and advo-cacy and survivor programs. The Rochester 2012 Out of the Darkness Walk will be held September 15, 2012, at the East Pavilion of Sil-ver Lake Park. Registration is at 10:00 a.m., walk starts at 11:00 a.m. and is finished by 2:00 p.m. This is the fifth year for the Rochester Out of the Darkness walk. Start or join a team today at outofthedarkness.org.

Vogel said the honorary status on the buildings attract inter-est and investment, adding the designation will be a very posi-tive development. Jacobson worried that build-ings under this designation will have a higher cost for renova-tion due to requirements to follow certain regulations. He insisted he didn’t want to be put into that box. Thompson was concerned they could be forced to do something they are not pre-pared for. Vogel said you can only do what you can when you can. The council approved a motion to direct the city attor-ney to draft an ordinance as the code requires to designate the Center for the Arts property as a Chatfield Heritage Land-mark. Jacobson voted against.

Preliminary Budget/Levy Young noted that the pre-liminary numbers are a result of budget numbers from department heads. The bud-get includes a three percent increase in the general pay grid, step increases, and a 10 percent increase in health insurance

premiums. In written information relat-ing to the budget, it was noted that the EDA has as one of its priorities the redevelopment of the Twiford Street area (area bounded by Twiford Street, Division Street, Main Street, and Grove Street). The EDA has requested a yearly addi-tional allocation of $20,000 to provide funds to assemble the property to re-develop this area. There is no increase for 2013 to the subsidy provided for the Center for the Arts. The refunding of 2008 bonds results in a decrease in debt ser-vice payments in the amount of $17,000 per year. Young noted that there will be some need to address water and sewer rates. The council will not vote on the preliminary levy until the September 10 meeting. The current proposal has a 5.264 percent increase. Jacobson noted that this figure is the

high end, it can be lowered. Mayor Don Hainlen suggested it is better to have a modest increase, rather than have a much higher increase in subse-quent years to catch up.

Other Business In Brief •A bid from All WeatherRoofing for maintenance of the fire house roof was approved for a total not to exceed $10,369 as recommended by the Public WorksCommittee. Therepairis expected to extend the life of the roofs by several years. •Approvalwas given for theproposal from Infratech, out of Rogers, for the sewer main-tenance program, as recom-mended by the Public WorksCommittee. It is a five-year maintenance contract. •Tony Lammers explainedthere are problems at the booster station with the con-trols, as the valves in the water tower are a problem. Approval was given to have the problem valves removed at a cost of $6,800.

The joy of cooking It wasn’t until my daughter was a baby and developed mul-tiple food allergies that I really started exploring the art of cook-ing. I had to religiously read food labels, and was surprised at what I found. I found it easiest and best to make her food myself. I had to take something with us for her to eat whenever we went out, and she could rarely eat what others were eating. Most of the time, I made one meal for Grace and I to eat, and another for the rest of the family. For years, we ate everything together, usually off the same plate, usually with her on my lap. Sometimes I miss those days. As she has grown older, Grace has outgrown all of her aller-gies except peanuts, and she has also developed a love of cooking. Since a very young age, she has

loved to help me do any cooking or baking. If I do it without her, she gets very upset. She is only six now, but she recently made a batch of cupcakes from a box mix. Last night she made Ham-burger Helper, with my supervi-sion of course, while standing on a chair in front of the stove. I frequently hear the words, “I’ll do it!” come from her mouth. She asks me what she should do and I help her, but she is very independent. For me, cooking has become a relaxing and enjoyable pastime instead of a chore. It’s true that I don’t always have time to make a decent meal, but I appreciate it when I do. I also love cooking for other people, so I love it when I have a friend over and I can make them something they may have never had before. I know I have mentioned qui-

Quinoa and Black Beans

1 tsp. vegetable oil1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced ¾ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed 1 ½ cups vegetable broth1-2 tsp curry powder Salt and pepper to taste 1 cup frozen corn kernels 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed½ cup fresh cilantro (optional)

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Mix qui-noa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and cilantro.

noa before, but I really love it. It is delicious, and easy to cook, as well as packed full of protein and other nutrients. It is becoming a very popular alternative to other grains. I have made this recipe before many, many times, and it is always delicious. I made it for a friend of mine once, and she loved it, too. It is a great way to try quinoa for the first time, and a great, easy

one-dish meal to make on a busy evening. It’s simple, but so full of flavor you will never forget. I also have a thing for filling the house with the aroma of curry simmer-ing on the stove. By the way, it goes perfectly with steamed broccoli. This is my version of the recipe.

By Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Edu-cator for Fillmore/Houston Coun-ties Many dairy operators are express-ing concern today about milk and feed prices and how they will plan ahead to maintain and s t r e n g t h e n their business positions. A common recommendation in risk management states that not only should one be protecting some milk price, but also protect some feed costs as well. The USDA Risk Management Agency has been funded to open

the Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy (LGM-D) insurance policy again after October 1, and it has from $20 -30 million more than last year with which it can operate, so hopefully it will be available for a longer time than last year. LGM-D offers the opportunity to protect both sides of the equation (milk and feed) with one insurance policy and in a fairly simple man-ner. Unfortunately, many producers don’t fully understand the insur-ance, or are unfamiliar with how to purchase it if they do want it. University of Minnesota Extension and the Farm Business Manage-ment advisors in southeast Min-nesota are hosting a webinar with Dr Brian Gould, University of

Livestock gross margin- dairy insurance

Jerrold Tesmer

Wisconsin, who has done exten-sive work preparing tools and edu-cational materials to help people understand LGM. The webinar will be Friday, September 14. It can be viewed individually at home or in your office, but much is often gained by interactive discussion with oth-ers so we will be hosting viewing sites and discussions at the Bank of Zumbrota, in Zumbrota and First

National Bank, Plainview, for each the session. Webinars start at 10:30 am. There is no cost to participate in these programs.

By LaVerne C. Paulson, Recy-cling Education Coordinator It is not too soon to start thinking about Fillmore Coun-ty’s next Household Hazardous Waste event. As in the past, the fall event will be held on the first Tuesday of October. This year, the date is October 2. On that day, we will gladly accept your donations of household hazardous waste from noon until 5:00 pm. Although unwanted paint is, by far, the most common HHW item, there are most likely many other nasty sub-stances that you would rather not have in and around your home. The items accepted are, in fact, hazardous and should not be included in your landfill garbage. As usual, there will be a notice in your local news-papers again reminding you of the date and what will be accepted. However, you may want to start rounding up some items a bit early, so you have them collected well in advance. If you have neighbors that are unable to attend this event, you can certainly bring their items, as well. Please keep in mind this is Household Haz-ardous Waste and agricultural chemicals, explosives, medical waste, business waste, radioac-tive waste, and empty cans are items that are not accepted

during this collection. We will also be collecting lead this fall, mostly in the form of fishing tackle and wheel weights. Lead is the cause of death for many of our birds, including the Bald Eagle, each year. If they eat meat containing lead, it enters their blood stream and dam-ages the brain. There are alter-native sinkers and other tackle available to take the place of lead. Due to the gun powder in bullets, we cannot accept ammunition at this time. There are thousands of but-ton batteries used by Fillmore County residents each year, but most of them are find-ing their way into the land-fill. Button batteries, like the kind used in hearing aids, even though quite small, contain some not-so-nice elements that may sooner or later, find their way into our drinking water. A set of hearing aids will use up to a hundred batteries each year which will account for a sizable amount of poison. Burning batteries, also not advised, can explode and cause serious injury. Burning bat-teries sends poisons into the air to fall back to earth as dif-ferent forms of precipitation. These poisons are polluting our lakes, streams, fields and forests and sooner or later find

Recycling 101 their way into humans by way of the food chain. The same is true for rechargeable bat-teries that contain cadmium, lithium, lead, and several other elements you don’t really need accumulating in your body. Mr. Grooters from the Fill-more Soil and Water Conserva-tion District has informed me that their Annual Field Day for Fillmore County sixth grade students has been scheduled for September 19 at Forestville State Park. If this year is similar to previous years, I will be chat-ting with at least one hundred eighty students and adults con-cerning recycling in Fillmore County. It is always a good day for learning from several pre-senters, but the gormet lunch served by the SWCD staff is definitely worth the trip. Thanks to many of you, we collected a bunch of bottles and cans during the fair and kept them out of the landfill. Thank you, also, for stopping by the Resource Recovery Center and Recycling Center exhibit at the fair. I had the opportunity to chat with a lot of people dur-ing the fair concerning recy-cling in Fillmore County. Your concerns and comments are always greatly appreciated. If you have any questions con-cerning Household Hazardous Waste Day, please don’t hesitate to call the Resource Recovery Center at 765-4704 or e-mail me at [email protected] n . u s < m a i l t o : l p a u l s o n @co.fillmore.mn.us>

Minnesota Farmers Union congratulates LeRoy and Darleen Johnson and their family’s Rolling Acres for winning the Farm Family of the Year for Fillmore County. Rolling Acres has 750 milking cows and 4 -1000 head hog finishing barns selling 10,000 hogs a year. They also have 2300 acres of corn and hay. Thanks to the Johnson family for their positive influence on farming and rural Minnesota. The University of Minnesota Extension Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over two decades and honors farm families from throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture industry and their local communities. All of the honored farm families have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities. Picture is of Minnesota Farmers Union Vice President Gary Wertish and the Johnson family.

being only 12-15 yards away from the bears in nothing but a portable tree stand, but Black Bears are not aggressive like their cousin, the Grizzly. Still, it’s thrilling for the hunter. “It’s an adrenaline rush!” enthuses Melver. The typical Black Bear male weighs 200 to 250 pounds on average, while the female of the species averages 200 pounds. On all fours, they stand at three to four feet high, but stand-ing on their hind legs, they can reach seven feet in height. Melver and Chad Nolte’s bears weighed in around the 250 pound mark, while Jennifer’s prize was a whopping 403 pounds. Chad Nolte is a team mem-

yet to be announced. Not surprisingly, the trio already has plans for the 2013 bear hunt. “It’s such fun,” notes Melver. “It’s a hunter’s para-dise.”
