MN 56093 A Breath of Fresh Air! By Mike Parry I’ve mentioned before how I’m amazed at how young entrepreneurs make plans, set goals and jump in body and soul to build what they believe will be a great future for their families and communities they live and work in. For the last 10 to 12 years I’ve noticed a couple that are doing just that. John & Teri Pribble is just that couple. I stopped to talk with John and asked if he’d tell me their story. They moved to Waseca with the first of two children in 2000 when Teri took a job at the Historical Society. Four years later they set out to begin TMP Contracting & Management. I asked John where the TMP came from. “TMP Time, Money & Patience,” said John with a smile, “Really it’s Teri’s business. The ‘T’ is for Teri, ‘M’ is Maureen, her middle name and ‘P’ is our last name. I didn’t think as her employee I did get my name in there too.” (continued on page 3) The Good News Magazine is a 7,800 circulation direct mail publication delivered to Waseca County, Janesville, Morristown, New Richland, Elysian, and Waterville.

(continued from page 2) “It started with one dump truck, then two, then five and now Teri has 7 trucks running mainly in a 50 mile radius,” he said. So I asked John is that when the second venture started? “I was repairing Teri’s trucks and started thinking that there is a need for a business that works on big trucks, large equipment like back hoes, dozers, farm equipment. We had this vision and called in one of the best mechanics, Jim Doherty and together as partners started Minnesota Truck & Repair and so far it’s been working well,” he said. “We wanted to also work on smaller vehicles as well so we hired Mark LaMont to come on board,” John stated, “Mark is a great mechanic too e-Marzahn-Minsk n n e Ka SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2016 Waseca, MN Location: Faith United Methodist Church (overlooking beautiful Clear Lake) 801 4th Avenue NE, Waseca, MN 56093 (Could possibly change because of larger turnout.)

We’ve got plenty of room and we’d like to see 10 mechanics. But, we’re going to take baby steps, slow growth, smart growth to accomplish that,” Pribble stated, “Offering 24 hour roadside service was a big decision for us as it’s a service not offered in the County. It’s kept us very busy.” Minnesota Truck & Equipment also offers $55.00 DOT Inspections as well. As I finished up my time with John and was ready to leave the new building in the Industrial Park he said with a huge smile, “We have nothing but good things to say about Waseca.

The MDA anticipates awarding up to $500,000 in competitive grants to increase sales of locally grown and raised foods to K-12 institutions and child care providers. Two categories of grants will be considered: 1. Grants for the purchase of equipment and/or physical improvements that will allow schools to purchase, prepare, and serve more locally grown and raised food. The grant will cover 50% of the total project cost up to a maximum award of $50,000. Recipients must contribute the remaining 50% of the total project cost as a cash contribution. 2. Grants for the cost of creating plans that identify specific equipment, tools, training or policies that a school or district needs in order to purchase more locally grown or raised food. The grant will cover up to 75% of the total project cost up to a maximum award of $30,000. Recipients must contribute the remaining 25% of the total project cost as a cash contribution. As part of this grant, the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (Blue Cross) is providing up to $125,000 to help schools and child care providers meet the requirement for matching funds.

The MDA and Blue Cross are committed to making healthy choices available to all Minnesotans, and past Farm to School grant rounds have offset the costs of equipment and kitchen upgrades for schools statewide. More than half of Minnesota’s student population has participated in the program. All applications must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. on November 2, 2016.

We wish him well and hope that he’s made the preparations needed to enjoy a long, comfortable retirement. If he has, he’ll be in the minority. Research shows that an estimated 60% of retired NFL players go broke within five years of retirement; nearly 16% declare bankruptcy. Fortunately, there’s a lot that Peyton can do to avoid that fate. While most of us won’t be retiring at 39, retirees still have a lot of the same worries as pro athletes. Here’s the advice we would give Peyton if he were W WEE M MOVED! OVED! 231 West Elm Ave., Waseca 507-835-3764 Mon. 9-7; Tues.-Wed.-Thurs. 9-8; Fri. 9-5; Sat. 8-2 Walk-Ins Welcome cassiesclassiccuts@gmail.com our client and friend. Dear Peyton, Congratulations on your retirement! You’ve had an amazing career and I’m glad you got to go out on a high note. I’m excited to see what you have planned next. I also want to give you some advice as you make the transition to retirement. I hope you find it helpful. 1. Don’t Make Any Sudden Decisions Take some time to process the transition away from a highoctane career and think about what you want out of retirement. Stop and smell the roses for a while and don’t make any major decisions about your future until you feel comfortable with your new phase of life. Many people who come from high-pressure, competitive jobs feel the urge to do something, anything when they retire. You might be tempted to fill the void by rushing into a new business, partnership, or buying expensive toys or real estate. Don’t, just yet. 2. Don’t Jump Into Businesses or Investments You Don’t Understand As a guy with money, you’re going to be surrounded by people pushing every kind of business, product, and investment there is. Don’t get taken in by the hype; think very carefully before you put your life savings into something you don’t completely understand, especially if the person asking is a friend or relative. Caring about someone doesn’t mean you should put your future at risk. You’ve worked hard to get where you are; don’t threaten it by taking too many risks now.

Work With A Team of Professionals As a professional athlete, you’re used to working with the best in your business. Expect the same from your financial team. Don’t just go with the guy you went to school with, the one your buddy works with, or the one offering you the moon. Talk to a lot of professionals and look for ones who want to get to know you and your dreams before making suggestions, answer your questions honestly, admit to uncertainty, and don’t make a lot of promises. Pick the professionals that are willing to ask you the hard questions and tell you the difficult truths you may not want to hear. Then listen to them. Let your team be your barrier against hype, promises, information overload, and anyone looking for a handout. Turn to them when you have ideas or questions, or need to talk out a decision. 4. Have A Strategy for Retirement You’ve got a long retirement ahead of you, one that’s likely to last 40 years or more. Though you’ve amassed a fortune most of us would envy, it’s not going to be enough if you don’t think ahead and make prudent choices. You should be thinking about the lifestyle you can afford in retirement and making sure your money lasts as long as you need it. Have a strategy for good and bad markets and remember that long-term investors have to cultivate patience. Don’t forget about healthcare! How Can We Help? Even if you’re not Peyton Manning, most of the advice above still applies. Retirement is a challenging transition and it pays to get it right. We work closely with our clients long before and after retirement to understand their dreams and help create personalized retirement strategies that take them where they want to go.

I’m using fictional names but my experience as a caregiver is true. About 7 years ago Herb was diagnosed with Dementia. He is now 89 and I am 88. We have lived in our house for a life time Domino’s Pizza in Waseca is Your Pizza Restaurant for Fast Pizza Delivery! ORDER ONLINE NOW! DOMINOS.COM COUPONS and SPECIALS on PIZZA, PASTA, BUFFALO WINGS & MORE! and want to stay at home. My day starts early. Sometimes at 3:00 AM, Herb gets up and eats a snack I then get up to put him back to bed, he’s usually sleeping at the table. Between 3:30-5:00- most often he stays in bed. Around 5:00 he starts walking the hallways. Luckily he’s never wandered outside. Sometimes, at 5:00 I’ll come out to the kitchen because of the noise, to find Herb fully dressed and with the food for breakfast on the table, slapping his cane. I coax him back to bed and he will stay there until around 7:00 AM. If he is dressed then it’s a process for cleaning him up in the morning. He can no longer put toothpaste on his toothbrush and I help with the rest of his personal hygiene. (You get the picture). We eat breakfast between 7:00- 9:00, I read the paper and catch the news on T.V. Herb sits at the kitchen table while I clear it. I quickly make the bed and get in the shower. Today the homehealth aide comes at 9:00- 12:00, she is a God sent. She plans the meals and prepares lunch. She helps Herb exercise and he is still able to do some walking. Listening to music is one of Herb’s favorite things to do- old country western songs. It’s not to my taste but if he likes it, I go along. Sometimes the home health aide reads to Herb but he loses interest quickly. She also will wash clothes and plan the supper meal. Our daughter stops by 3 to 4 times a week and goes to the grocery store for us. On Wednesday Herb goes to “Some Time Away” from 10-2 run by Waseca Area Caregiver Services. He says it’s “Good Time” and I think it’s important that he gets companionship other than me. We both look forward to Wednesday, he’s happy to go and I look forward to a 4 hour break. I get to do something I normally wouldn’t get a chance to do- work in the garden, go to the bank etc. When the home health aide is here, I can water my flowers, feed the birds- be outside. I sometimes sweep and wash clothes. At lunch, I cut up Herbs food into bit size pieces. Herb has a good appetite. After lunch we both take naps. 4:00 maybe our daughter will show up. 5:00 we watch the news on T.V. and I then fix supper. From 6:00 to 9:30, we usually watch TV together around 10:00 I help Herb get to bed and lay out his clothes for tomorrow. We get out for family gatherings and attend church faithfully. I have attended a caregiver support group and I try to do some things for myself. For now, it is working. With the help of family, friends, a home health aide and “Some Time Away”. I’m doing OK. If you are a caregiver, take advantage of the services that are there for you and your loved one. You both will be better for it.

Doing a triathlon seems like a daunting endeavor. Snap Fitness is here to help you accomplish the triathlon and your other fitness goals. Snap Fitness will be hosting a free informational event on “Tips and Tricks of Swimming, Biking and Running a Triathlon” led by seasoned triathlete Randy Brendall On Monday June 27th, 2016 at 6pm in the Snap group training room. The event is free and open to everyone to RSVP please call 507-835-0043, email waseca@snapfitness.com or stop in to sign-up. Triathlon Training Basics In a typical triathlon, the average participant spends around a fifth of the race swimming, half of the race cycling, and about thirty percent of the race running. Your training should closely match this distribution. Try to do roughly equal numbers of swim, bike and run workouts, but bike workouts should be longer than your runs and your runs should be longer than your swim. For example, let’s say you work out six times in a week. In this week you should swim twice, bike twice and run twice. However, your longest bike ride may be one hour, while your swims last thirty minutes and your runs forty minutes. Begin your training with an amount that is appropriate to your current level of fitness and gradually increase the workload as you become more fit. If you are a typical adult who is out of shape but not overweight, elderly or suffer from a debilitating medical condition, you will need approximately twelve weeks to prepare for a sprint triathlon. You may also ask a Snap personal trainer about creating a workout plan that is designed specifically for your body and capabilities. Injuries may happen while you are training for the triathlon, however there are steps you can take to minimize both the severity and frequency of these injuries. One way to prevent overuse injuries is to reverse muscle imbalances which are the cause of most injuries. Through repetitive motions, triathletes often develop particular imbalances that are associated with many common injuries. To correct these imbalances, you need to stretch muscles that tend to become shortened through training and strengthen muscles that tend to become weakened. Try to frequently stretch your calves, hamstrings, hip flexors, lower back, neck and chest and regularly exercise your hips, butt, abdomen, upper back and shoulders. A second way to prevent injury is to practice good technique.

Cyclists who position their seat too high or too low tend to develop low back and knee problems. Runners whose feet over-pronate tend to develop plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and runner’s knee. A third factor associated with injuries is a sudden and substantial increase in training volume. Increase your training volume gradually week-to-week, but don’t increase it every single week. Tissues in your body need time to adapt to the training stimuli they experience. Additionally, your body needs time to adapt to the stress of each individual workout, which is the reason why you need to perform a thorough warm-up each time you swim, bike and run. In particular, hamstring injuries are known to result from failure to properly warm up. Move at a pace that works for you, and don’t overdo it. Your NEW SMILE is WAITING!

Christians, even though they know that heaven is their real home, love their country and support it according to their God given abilities. As citizens of two kingdoms (Christ’s and man’s), we believe in obedience to both our God and our government. As a normal part of our Christian faith and life, therefore, we support, honor and defend both our church and country. As regularly as we pray the petition in the Lord’s Prayer “Give us this day our daily bread”, we pray for good government and peace. Every sincere Christian, then, is also a sincere patriot. While true that no country is without its problems, it is also true that no country is any better than its people. That is, a country’s prosperity is directly related to the support of its citizens and how those citizens honor God. As we celebrate the Fourth of July, our country is calling for loyalty. We will give it gladly by rededicating ourselves to Christ as our Savior and spreading His Gospel, which can bring peace instead of war, freedom instead of bondage, life instead of death. Loyalty to Christ is the highest form of loyalty to our country. God bless His Gospel and us so that through us He might bless our native land.

By Mike Parry We’ve all heard stories about the things farmers can fix or reinvent to make better. I remember Bumps Brown telling Kathy and I a story about how some of the area farmers who worked at Brown Printing used knowledge they gained farming to help the printing machines run better. I guess this story is another in a collection. Grant Koch and his wife moved to southern Minnesota in their early 20’s but still maintains a farming operation in northern Iowa. We bumped into Prime Poly Solutions, LLC in Waseca the other day and had a visit with Grant. I asked him to tell me about his business and how he got started. “After having experience with traditional mudjacking, I became highly interested in raising and leveling concrete with polyurethane material and attended a two-day training course in Manitowoc, Wisconsin at Hydraulic Mud Pumps, Inc. (HMI). One of the primary reasons for my interest in raising settled concrete was the cost savings. Generally, polyurethane concrete raising is less than half the cost of tearing out the old concrete and replacing with new. There is no waiting for the concrete to cure, when I leave you can use the concrete,” Grant said. Prime Poly Solutions, LLC is certified to work in both Minnesota and Iowa and Grant enjoys working one-on-one with each client. That includes initial conversations, job site estimates and timely completion of the job. “We are a start-up company and we are extremely hard-working, dependable, honest and respect our clients,” Grant went on to say, “From my experience, raising concrete slabs that are poured over very unstable or unsuitable fill is beneficial because polyurethane weighs 3-4 pounds per cubic foot compared to 100-150 pounds per cubic foot of tradi- ALWAYS A GENTLE AND LOVING TOUCH We offer one on one professional pet styling in a modern, stress free environment.

Additionally, the end results are more appealing because of a much smaller injection hole. Polyurethane utilizes a hole that is only 5/8” or smaller compared to mudjacking holes that run between 1” and 2”. The polyurethane foam that we use is hydrophobic and is a green product, utilizing 30 to 60 percent recycled material.” Need some mudjacking? Give Grant Koch a call at 1641-590-1293.

I think people with the most food freedom are the ones who are ok with trying a food or a dish — without a perfectionist’s mentality that you can never choose a food you don’t end up liking or a dish you don’t enjoy. Find out! And move on if it doesn’t work for you. No pressure. No problem. Just the freedom to explore. There are a lot of health benefits in it for you! In fact, one of the main reasons to explore and eat a wide variety of foods is the nutritional support this gives your body. When you eat the exact same things each day, you’re getting the same amount of concentrated nutrients from those foods. It doesn’t matter how “healthy” the foods are individually, this approach could lead to nutrient overload from one food, and deprivation of key nutrients that you would get from other foods. Even taking a good multivitamin won’t give you the same variation benefits that your body will receive from a wide variety of foods. There’s something about how Find Food Freedom By Exploring the Delivery of Food! By Darin Olien A key pillar of finding food freedom — and life-long health — is variety. It is absolutely inspiring to me to see the diversity or food staples in the countries I travel too around the world. Variety gives your body an explosion of nutrientdense foods! When you give your body amazing food it naturally detoxes itself, changes your body’s gut flora, allows for elim- Fineline Leather Furniture Restoration Al Spitzack nutrients work together in their natural state in fresh, whole that can never be duplicated in a lab. So no supplement will ever be quite the same as giving your body the chance to be powered by the broadest, fullest array of vitamins and minerals possible. And no pharmaceutical drug will heal your body the same way fresh, whole food will. Most drugs (baring some of the most medically necessary ones) just mask the problem that was started from nutritional deficiencies, which largely create all chronic disease. You start healing when you add back all the missing nutrients! This “explorer’s approach” also frees up your taste buds to enjoy new and exciting flavors instead of getting locked up with the same dishes over and over and over again. No thanks! Nature gave us too many options to stay stuck that way. It’s time to start “painting” with different colors: Think about how your food looks together on the plate. Is everything beige? Boring – both in flavors and nutritionally! What colors can you put on your plate? The phrase “Eat the rainbow” is full of wisdom — and vitamins! Focus on mixing up flavors and ingredients: The same exact foods will taste completely different when you mix up the combinations and add in new seasonings and spices. When you combine sweet, sour and salty tastes, you’ll feel more satiated. If you always have spinach in your salads, chose kale or red lettuce instead. You can also add variety by combining textures. A plate full of soft foods has no textural variety! Combine crunchy foods with softer foods for satisfying mixtures. For example, add crunchy raw vegetables with soft rice or one tablespoon of crunchy nuts on top of soft baked squash, roasted vegetables, or baked sweet potatoes. When you are willing to create the habit of food exploration, you will holistically support your body’s health and your taste buds will never be bored. Need inspiration?

June/July 2016 • Good News Magazine 21 Grow a Farmer Fund: Investing in Food, Farmers and Accessible Financing By Tim Penny “Our survival relies on the ability to reintegrate investing and philanthropy,” said Woody Tasch at the second annual Slow Money Minnesota gathering earlier this month. Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) co-sponsored this meeting, organized by our partner Renewing the Countryside. Tasch is the founder of Slow Money, an advocacy and investment group drawing from the slow food movement that is interested in bringing money back down to earth. At the Slow Money Minnesota meeting on May 3, Renewing the Countryside and SMIF announced a new fund: Grow a Farmer Fund. In its beginning stages, this will be a donationbased fund that will raise funds from individuals, restaurants, and others interested in supporting a stronger local food economy in southern Minnesota. SMIF and its partners are aiming to raise $100,000 by September 1 to launch this fund. It will be used to give lower interest loans to farmers such as John Mesko, who shared how a $350 investment in a three-point hitch helped him move his hog farm business from “just getting by” to a profit generating enterprise. The lower interest loans will recycle into a revolving loan fund to be an “evergreen fund” that can help others down the road. Given SMIF’s 30-year history of small-scale, “seed” investments for a sustainable region and the Foundation’s shorter-term interest in supporting a local food economy, the principles of Slow Money align closely with our own philanthropic efforts. For example, Slow Money Principle Six quotes Paul Newman: “I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out.” Anytime I talk with a potential donor to the Foundation, whether an individual, business owner, or City/County official, I remind them that for every dollar they put into the Foundation, an average of $10 is re-invested back into southern Minnesota to support children, businesses, and communities. The purpose and principles of Slow Money are gaining increased attention. The Grow a Farmer Fund is timely given the SEC’s recent approval of Title IV of Obama’s 2012 JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act. This provision allows unaccredited investors – essentially, ordi- 22 Good News Magazine • June/July 2016 nary citizens rather than only high-worth individuals – to invest a certain percentage of their own equity in start-up businesses. CNBC called this “the biggest change to hit start-up investing in years.” Grow a Farmer Fund, while not an equity fund, does allow anyone interested in supporting a stronger local foods system to contribute, whether by money or time. In southern Minnesota, we have a long history of agriculture. Our 20-county region houses a diversity of farmers, from commodity crop growers to small-scale farmers sowing everything from hazelnuts to hops. While both are economically important to our region, operationally, they are economically quite different. Insurance, loans, input costs, and distribution are all handled in unique ways. The Grow a Farmer Fund is targeted at smaller-scale farmers trying innovative approaches that have a harder time accessing traditional funds, don’t quality for subsidies, or lack typical col- CC lateral. The Grow a Farmer Fund is yet another outcome of the FEAST Local Foods Advisory Network, a group of many partners focused on supporting local foods makers, growers and producers in our region. The Feast! Local Foods Marketplace, held annually at the Mayo Civic Center, is another initiative of this network. Additionally, SMIF just announced a second Local Foods Peer council to provide small food businesses a chance to learn from each other to support their businesses. Farming continues to be an economic driver in southern Minnesota. As older farmers start to transition their farms to the next generation, the Grow a Farmer Fund is an innovative solution to allow a wider segment of those looking to care for the land an opportunity to plant roots and for a wider audience to support this mission.

Cliff was born Clifford W. Tesch in Mankato, Minnesota, March of 1949. He grew up on a farm in Waldorf, MN with one brother and two sisters. He went to Waldorf School in town, then Pemberton School for a few years before going back to Waldorf to finish out his schooling. After graduating, Cliff farmed with his dad, Herald. He later worked for Crystal Valley Co-op in Waldorf, and for about five years he ran his own gas station, Cliff’s Deep Rock. Cliff went back to Crystal Valley Co-op for his remaining working years. In his leisure time, Cliff was a volunteer at the Waldorf Fire Department. He also liked to fish, hang out with his friends, play cards and do word puzzles. In 2015 Cliff moved to Colony Court due to health reasons. He says that he likes not having to make his own meals, do dishes, clean, or do any laundry. We’re glad to be able to do those things for you Cliff!

Many people are starting fresh by elevating their garden beds to overcome landscape challenges, create new beds or simply make harvesting, planting and tending the garden easier. You can build your own raised bed or purchase one of the kits available at garden centers, garden catalogues and online. Or repurpose bricks, cinder blocks or heat- treated pallets into an elevated planting bed. Once your raised bed is built, start by preparing a healthy foundation for your plants by filling it with a blended quality topsoil and compost mix like Hsu garden blend (hsugrowingsupply.com). The compost is rich in beneficial microbes that build soil health, while the topsoil provides a reservoir of nutrients and moisture for the plants to grow and thrive. Or rejuvenate an existing garden bed by amending the soil prior to planting by adding several inches of leaf compost, compost or peat moss to the top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Once the foundation is set, ished harvesting the smaller vegetables. Train cucumbers and pole beans up a trellis. You’ll save space and elevate the fruit for fewer disease problems and easier picking. Add a few herbs to the garden. They add flavor to your meals as well as color, texture and fragrance to the garden. you are ready to plant. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons and squash need full sun and love it warm. So planting now that the air and soil are warm will get them off to a quick start. Interplant these larger transplants with green onions, beets and carrots. By the time the larger plants are filling in the space, you’ll be fin- McRaith & Crematory (continued on page 25) Funeral Homes As always, proudly providing service focused on commitment, trust, and compassion. ~ Waseca County’s only Crematory ~ McRaith Funeral Homes & Crematory Arnoldt-McRaith Funeral Home 1-800-210-8692 107 N.

Then sit back and enjoy the harvest and beauty your new and improved gardens have to offer. Ask Melinda I have an aloe plant that is about 9 years old. It has gotten so big that I would like to cut pieces off and give them to my friends. How do I do that? Start (propagate) new plants from a leaf or division. Remove a leaf from the plant. Let the cut end dry for a day or two. Then bury the bottom inch or two of the leaf in a well-drained potting mix, vermiculite, perlite or sand. Avoid over watering which can lead to rot. Or slide the aloe plant out of its container. Use a sharp knife to divide the parent plant (roots and all) from any offsets (small plants) that have formed. Repot the divisions in containers an inch or two larger than the remaining root system. New, used! We take trades! Will customize scooters just for you! 4-WHEELERS as low as $ 599.00 Out the door!
