Season’s first
blizzard strikes
during cold snap
After a mild December,
Minnesota residents bundled
up last week to deal with a
January cold snap and the
season’s first blizzard.
Winter returned in full
force as arctic air settled
over the state. Sub-zero temperatures, high winds and
snow caused blizzard conditions Thursday afternoon
and overnight.
Minnesota schools closed
all over the state. The arctic
chill promoted school closings or delayed openings
from Minnesota and the
Dakotas to Alabama.
Springfield schools had
a two-hour late start on
Wednesday, Jan. 7, when
temperatures
or
wind
chills dipped to 10 below
zero. Local schools were
dismissed at 10:40 a.m.
Thursday.
The Minnesota State
Patrol advised no unnecessary travel. More than 850
accidents along snowy and
icy roadways were reported
in Minnesota in just over a
day.
Among the 855 accidents
reported between 8 a.m.
Thursday, Jan. 8, and 10
a.m. Friday, Jan. 9, across
Minnesota were 600 spinouts and four collisions in-
volving State Patrol squad
cars. None involved serious
injuries but 110 people sustained minor injuries.
The Minnesota State
Patrol closed Highway 71
between Redwood Falls
south to the junction of
Highway 14 due to zero
visibility conditions. All
state highways in Brown,
Cottonwood,
Jackson,
Watonwan and Martin counties as well as Highway 60
in Blue Earth and Nobles
counties were closed.
Wind gusts over 40 mph
after dark combined with
the recent snow created hazardous conditions. Motorists
and snowplow operators
experienced extremely difficult conditions with zero
visibility at times.
Vehicles crash
during blizzard A multiple-vehicle crash
occurred two miles east of
Sleepy Eye on Highway 14
at 2:51 p.m. Thursday. A
semi truck driven by Jayme
L. Freitag, 42, Fairfax, and
a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am
driven by Ross E. Ager, 45,
Gibbon, were northbound on
Highway 4. The Pontiac was
ahead of the semi in poor
weather conditions when
the vehicles collided. Both
drivers were transported by
ambulance to Sleepy Eye
Medical Center.
Both drivers were wearing
seat belts and no alcohol was
detected. Vehicle damage
was not reported.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2015
NO. 2
Vasquez indicted for
first degree murder
A Brown County Grand
Jury has issued a firstdegree murder indictment
for Miguel Vasquez, 26,
of Springfield. The charge
was filed in Brown County
District Court on Thursday,
January 8.
Vasquez is accused of
murdering his girlfriend,
dismembering and attempting to burn her body.
Vasquez faces four felony
counts — first-degree murder (premeditated); two
counts of second-degree
murder, (one intentional,
the other while committing
second-degree assault); and
second-degree arson in the
September 25, 2014, slaying of Amber Lechuga, 23,
of Springfield.
All four counts involve
the possession or use of a
.22 caliber firearm at the
time of the offense.
A grand jury indictment is
required for a first-degreemurder charge, which carries an automatic life sentence in Minnesota.
Vasquez is accused of
killing his 23-year-old girlfriend, Amber Lechuga, in
September in the apartment
they shared with their two
children. Authorities said
he dismembered her and in-
jured himself while burning
a van with her remains near
Sleepy Eye, according to the
criminal complaint.
Law enforcement officers
found Vasquez running naked, except for his socks,
along a highway toward
Sleepy Eye, with visible
burns on his body, and smelling of gasoline, according to
the criminal complaint.
Law enforcement found
a burning mini van on a
narrow, dirt road east of
Highway 4, just north of the
Cottonwood River. Evidence
indicated Lechuga had been
shot and dismembered prior
to the fire. Her head was
found in a black plastic bag
in the nearby river.
Vasquez was arrested
October 3 after an eight-day
investigation by the Brown
County Sheriff’s Office
and Minnesota Bureau of
Criminal Investigation after it was determined that
Lechuga’s human remains
were found in the burned mini
van near the Cottonwood
River several miles south of
Sleepy Eye.
Brown County District
Judge Robert Docherty previously said he was shocked
by “the staggering brutality
of the crime,” calling it one
of the most horrific cases he
had encountered in his more
than 17 years in criminal
law.
Fifth Judicial District
Chief Public Defender
Scott Cutcher of Mankato,
said the first-degree murder charge was what he expected. Earlier Cutcher said
he planned to challenge
the grand jury indictment.
He argues Minnesota court
rules required the grand jury
to be brought within 14 days
of Vasquez’s Rule 8 hearing, which was in October.
He has asked for a full transcript of the grand jury proceedings to prepare for the
Vasquez’ next court appearance set for April 8, 2015.
Dahms hopes for
road, bridge funds
The Minnesota Legislature reconvened in St. Paul
on January 6 to begin the
2015 legislative session.
“I am excited to begin the
new session,” said Senator
Gary Dahms (R-Redwood
Falls). “It’s an honor and a
privilege to once again represent the citizens of Senate
District 16.”
“There are several issues
facing Minnesota,” Senator
Dahms continued. “We have
an opportunity to reform the
way we manage our schools,
our health care, and our
transportation system along
with making changes to the
Minnesota tax code to conform to the federal tax code.
We can address our challenges and make Minnesota
a more welcoming environment for families and entrepreneurs if we are willing
to support new, innovative
ideas.”
Senator
Dahms
will
continue to serve as the
Republican lead on the
Senate Jobs, Agriculture,
and Rural Development
Committee. In addition, he
will serve as an Assistant
Minority Leader and have
assignments on the Senate
E-12 Education Committee,
Commerce
Committee,
and State Departments and
Veterans Budget Division.

New Minnesota laws take effect January 2015
Courtesy of Minnesota House
Public Information Services
The following is a listing of selected new
laws passed during the 2014 legislative session that became effective January 1, 2015.
Business/Commerce
Some corporations want to be more than
just about making money — they seek a social purpose. A new law will adjust current
law to accommodate this niche business
model.
The
Minnesota
Public
Benefits
Corporation Act lays out the definition of
a general benefit corporation, requirements
of purpose and director conduct. It also requires an annual report to the secretary of
state pointing out how it addressed its social
goals.
Employment
A new law extends an independent contractor pilot program and makes federal conformity changes to apprenticeship programs.
To register an apprenticeship program,
an applicant must submit a completed application to the Department of Labor and
Industry. If the standards of apprenticeship
are met, a one-year provisional approval will
be granted. The application should include a
written plan of program standards embodying the terms and conditions of employment;
and plans for training and supervision of one
or more apprentices in a trade or occupation
requiring an apprenticeship.
Public employees
protected in transition
A new law will allow for the transition of
exclusive representation of employees under
the Public Employee Labor Relations Act
(PELRA) when governmental units form a
joint powers entity.
The law also permits a joint powers entity to discipline an employee for just cause
who, at the time the joint power entity was
formed, would have been subject to discipline by the member.
The law also permits the exclusive representative of a joint powers entity to file a
grievance under the collective bargaining
agreement that covered the employee prior
to formation of the joint powers entity or
under the new collective bargaining agreement after it is agreed to.
The law also permits a new joint powers
entity to get free copies of all public data
on employees of the joint powers entity that
was maintained by the members; establishes
that seniority based on the employee’s con-
tinuous service with a PELRA member; and
the employee’s service with the joint powers
entity; and requires that layoffs and recalls
must be based on seniority. Recall rights
must continue to apply until a new collective
bargaining agreement is made.
Health / Public safety
With a look toward increasing health care
access in Minnesota, a new law aims to
launch advanced practice registered nurses
(APRNs) into greater independence.
In order to prescribe medications and perform other forms of patient care, APRNs
previously needed to have written agreements with physicians. If the physician
stopped practicing or moved to another
place, APRNs needed to find someone else
with which to have a written agreement.

New state laws
by Daid Bau
University of Minnesota Extension
The new law mostly eliminates these agreements,
requiring APRNs to work
2,080 hours under an agreement with a physician, clinical nurse specialist or another
APRN. After completing
those hours, they will gain
the ability to independently
practice as a clinical nurse
specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse-midwife or nurse
practitioner. In these roles
they can serve as primary
care providers and prescribe
medication and treatment, diagnose illnesses and perform
other duties related to patient
care.
Other provisions of the
law include: listing criteria
for APRN licensure; adding
APRNs to disciplinary actions for license violations;
making APRNs subject to a
fee if they practice without
a current license; and requiring the Board of Nursing to
create an Advanced Practice
Nursing Advisory Council.
Local government
‘Tony Caine’s Law’ calls
for better-trained lifeguards
— named after Tony Caine, a
6-year-old who drowned at a
beach in Minneapolis in 2012
— a new law will help ensure that lifeguards at public
beaches meet certain safety
requirements. While the law
does not require lifeguards at
beaches owned or operated
by local governments, it does
require lifeguards at these
beaches to have certification
in first aid and CPR for adults
and children. Lifeguards must
also be certified as a lifeguard
through the American Red
Cross or similar program.
Expungement changes
Minnesotans who made a
past mistake will have an easier time at earning a second
chance. Expungement is a
way for judges to seal criminal records, including arrests,
prosecutions and convictions
for people who have demonstrated changed behavior
after completing punishment.
The law will extend expungement eligibility to the
following circumstances:
* The petitioner has successfully completed the
terms of a diversion program
or stay of adjudication and
has not been charged with
a new crime for at least one
year since completion of the
diversion program or stay of
adjudication;
* The petitioner was con-

victed of or received a stayed
sentence for a petty misdemeanor or misdemeanor and
has not been convicted of a
new crime for at least two
years since discharge of the
sentence for the crime;
*The petitioner was convicted of or received a stayed
sentence for a gross misdemeanor and has not been
convicted of a new crime
for at least four years since
discharge of the sentence for
the crime; or
*The petitioner was convicted of or received a stayed
sentence for one of more than
50 listed felony violations
and has not been convicted
of a new crime for at least
five years since discharge of
the sentence. The list does
not include person offenses
or crimes of violence. For
juvenile cases, the law will
require a court to expunge
all juvenile arrest and delinquency proceedings if it
determines the expungement
will benefit the subject without being a detriment to public safety. Juvenile records
sealed prior to the law’s enactment will continue to be
subject to current law.
Other provisions include:
*An expungement could
be provided without the filing of a petition in certain
cases where the prosecutor
agrees to the sealing of a
criminal record, unless the
court determines the interest
of public safety in keeping
the record outweighs the disadvantages to the petitioner;
* Allowing eviction records to be sealed when
there is a finding in favor of
the defendant;
* Clarifying that an expungement order seals a record, regardless of whether
it would otherwise be public
law enforcement or criminal
history data or public under
other law;
* Expunged records can
be opened for teacher licensure; and
* Keeping an expunged
record private if the human
services commissioner disqualifies an applicant based
on the expunged record.

What are the trends in
farmland rental rates and
where are they going in
2015?
I have just completed 45
workshops across the state
and asked this question multiple times to each audience.
What direction should rents
go in 2015? I had three possible answers, they could
stay the same, they could go
up or they could go down.
How you answer this depends on your circumstances.
Many farmers are looking at losses in 2015 for
both corn and soybeans, but
need to maintain their cur-
standards will increase the
amount of time students
must spend supervised behind the wheel to at least
40 hours, up from 30. This
increases to 50 hours if the
primary driving supervisor
has not taken optional supplemental training. The law
also increases the amount of
required nighttime driving to
15 hours from 10.
Veterans
Female veterans will
have the opportunity to be
acknowledged on their vehicles in a way similar to
veterans of various wars and
conflicts or those who were
awarded medals of distinction, such as a Silver Star. As
with other specialized plates,
the user would pay a $10
fee to acquire the plates that
would bear the inscription
“WOMAN VETERAN.”
rent farm size and are going to pay the same rate as
last year even if it creates a
loss at current prices hoping commodity prices will
rise. Below is a table showing farmland rental rates in
southwest Minnesota. In the
FINBIN data base for the
last five years from 2009 to
2013 rental rates have increased at a yearly rate of
11.8 per cent. Commodity
prices started declining from
record highest in 2012 and
continued lower in 2013
and 2014. The table includes
half of this average increase
or 5.9 percent to get the
estimate for 2014 average
county rental rates. From
2015, commodity prices
continue lower. In the table a
2.95 percent increase was applied to 2014 rates to get an
estimate for 2015 farmland
rental rates.
There will be pressure for
higher farmland rental rates
to go down in 2015 due to the
steep decline in corn prices
and lower a smaller decline
in soybean prices. As I traveled the state, four counties
had conducted farmland rental surveys and in each county
rents declined in 2015 from
2014. One county declined
by 7.7%, another 8.9%, another $9 per acre and another
from an average of $290 in
2014 to $264 average for
2015.
Can farmland rents con-
tinue the increasing trend in
2015? The projected 2015
corn and soybean total income and expenses would indicate a loss at current cash
forward contract prices available using historic yields and
2014 rents and expenses.
This could cause lower or flat
farmland rental rates in 2015
as compared to 2014. To find
more rental information go
to University of Minnesota
Extension’s home page
www.extension.umn.edu,
click on “agriculture” Icon,
then “Agricultural Business
Management” and then click

2015 looking to be ‘The Year of
Prohibition’ in Granite Falls
Granite Falls is the home of Andrew J. Volstead, who
authored the constitutional amendment outlawing the
sale of intoxicating beverages. Granite Falls is the home
of Prohibition. And yet, the birthplace of Volstead and
his notorious Volstead Act hasn’t done much to capitalize
on it, failing to recognize popular culture captivation with
the time period steeped in speakeasies, political movements and the mafia. However, in her role as interim
Granite Falls Chamber director, Mary Gillespie is hoping
to capitalize on Granite Falls’ link to that amazing historical era known simply as “Prohibition” by rolling out a series of events and marketing initiatives throughout 2015
and beyond that speak to the town’s unique Prohibition
legacy.
Gillespie says branding her town in this way has been
in the back of peoples’ minds for many years. Some residents are still hesitant to embrace a connection to the
tumultuous era of speakeasies and organized crime, she
adds. Many others disagree, pointing out that Volstead
was the only local resident ever to grace the cover of Time
Magazine. Her advice to other chamber executives is to
find that historical niche and plunge into it. “Our town is
so pretty and has so much to offer with the river, bridge,
and recreation,” she says. “We can use Prohibition to get
them in the door, and once they’re here, they can see the
rest.

President Ronald Reagan
signed the holiday into law
in 1983, and it was first observed three years later.

A recent investigation by the Humane Society of the
United States is alleging inhumane treatment of chickens
by Butterfield Foods at a hen slaughtering plant in Butterfield. The group has asked the Watonwan County attorney’s office to charge the company with violations of
Minnesota animal cruelty laws. Terry Fruth, an attorney
representing Butterfield Foods, adamantly denied the allegations. He argued the Humane Society’s claim would
mean the company was intentionally destroying its own
property for no reason. “We’re more than denying. We’re
saying this is so implausible that it defied credulity,”
Fruth said. “We’ve been doing this for 40 years. We have

Springfield Advance-Press Agnes Kosel fits the pattern
of astounding centenarians
to note101st birthday on January 18
Agnes Kosel will observe
her 101st birthday on Sunday, January 18.
Will she celebrate that
birthday? “Nope,” she said,
with a slight shrug of her
shoulders. “I had a big party
last year,” and that was sufficient, she said. However,
she can probably expect a
few visitors and some birthday cake and ice cream.
Agnes takes her 101 years
in stride.
She fits the pattern of interesting and astounding
centenarians who come from
a wide range of geographical locations, lifestyles, and
backgrounds. Members of
the 100-year-old club share
a pattern of some common
traits.
One of the most interesting commonalties found
across the board when researching centenarians no
matter what part of the world
they are from is the fact that
they all reported being very
active well into their 80s and
90’s.
On Agnes’ ninetieth birthday, her family gave her a
golf cart so she wouldn’t
have to walk so far as she
tended her gardens. Agnes
loved to garden and today
has a number of plants in her
room at St. John Lutheran
Home.
Many centenarian researchers debunk the claims
of areas in the world that
are oases of extremely old
persons. Such as the claims
of 150-year-olds running
around the Russian Caucuses. Yet, there do seem to be
geographic clusters where
people do tend to live longer, if not necessary achieving the rank of centenarians.
Take for example in North
America, where there seems
to exist a “centenarian belt”
extending from Minnesota
to Nova Scotia. Such clustering has been linked to the
so-called “founder effect,”
which stipulates that many
of these centenarians likely sprang from a common
“founder.” In other words an
ethnic background that predisposes them to living longer. This hypothesis is based
upon the findings of recent
centenarian studies that indicate extreme old age does
indeed run in families. Most
centenarians have at least
one other long-lived close
relative in their family histories. Agnes’ mother lived
to be 101 years. Sister Selma
lived to 102.
Most centenarians have
not suffered from the “typical” illnesses or syndromes
associated with “old age,”
such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Most centenarians showed no signs
of cognitive difficulties or
dementia prior to age 92. Agnes continues to enjoy good
physical and mental health.
Most centenarians have
an innate ability to deal with
stress. Most never smoked
heavily or abused alcohol.
Most centenarians are profound believers in the spiritual, and are actively involved
Agnes Kosel will observe her 101st birthday on January 18.
in their religion. Agnes was
active in her church and was
organist at the Red Rock
Methodist Church for 57
years. She loves music and
has a keyboard in her room at
St. John Lutheran Home.
Agnes, daughter of August
and Louise Nickel, was born
on January 18, 1914. The
youngest of seven children,
she grew up on the fam-
ily farm near Jeffers and attended District 52 one-room
country school through the
eighth-grade. She married
a farmer, Walter Kosel, and
the couple lived near Jeffers
where they raised three sons.
They operated a diversified
farm — growing grain crops,
milking cows, and raising
hogs and chickens. “I loved
it,” she said.
Watch out for frostbite: Stay safe in the bitter cold
With the recent cold, winter blast, those heading outdoors should be aware that
frostbite can occur within a
short amount of time. Mayo
Clinic Health System wants
to remind everyone that prevention is the key.
If your fingers, nose or
toes start to hurt or have a
prickling feeling, it’s a warning to get out of the cold.
Signs and symptoms of
frostbite include:
the affected area as quickly
· Numbness
· Wear mittens rather than
· Red, white, bluish-white as possible with gentle rub- gloves
bing. As the blood flow reor grayish-yellow skin
· Keep moving
· Hard or waxy-looking sumes, the frostbitten part
You may have leftover
skin
will begin to hurt, sometimes
and muscle stiffness
· Blistering after rewarming, in severe cases
It used to be said that you
should warm up a frostbitten area slowly. Mayo Clinic
Health System providers say
that’s not the case. Warm up
meaning the tissues are still
alive.
You may soak the affected
area in warm water for 15 to
30 minutes. Don’t rewarm
frostbitten skin with hot water or direct heat, such as a
stove, heat lamp, fireplace or
heating pad. This can cause
burns.
If you need to head outside, limit the time you’re
outdoors in cold, wet or
windy weather. You should
also:
· Dress in several layers of
loose, warm clothing
· Change out of wet clothing — particularly gloves,
hats and socks — as soon as
possible
· Wear a hat or headband
that fully covers your ears
· Clumsiness due to joint a lot. This is a good sign,

Tips from the Master Gardener
Gardening Questions
by Roxann Jelinek, University of Minnesota Master Gardener, Brown County
I received a gift of two small potted
herbs for Christmas. I watered them
and set them in a sunny window, but
when I looked at them a couple of
days later, they were wilted so badly
that they didn’t recover. Did I kill them
somehow?
My guess is that they
dried out, even though you
watered them. Many greenhouse plants have been watered daily or even several
times a day. The potting soil
is designed to drain quickly,
so the plant’s roots don’t rot.
If the soil was filled to the
top of the pot, you wouldn’t
have been able to add much
water before it ran off the pot
— giving you the impression
that the plant was well watered when it was just barely
watered. A second guess
would be they were close to
the window glass and it was
too cold for young plants.
Is there a way to keep lilac blooms
fresh?
Collect flowers in early
morning just as the dew is
starting to dry, or in the evening. Carry a small bucket
of lukewarm water and place
the cut stems immediately
in the water to help keep
the flowers fresh. Choose
branches where all the flower
buds have not opened up.
Inside the house, remove
the lower leaves that would
be submerged in water and
re-cut the stems on a slant.
You can also split the stems
to help increase their water
intake. Make sure the vase
is always filled with clean
water.
My mother would cut long strips of
newspaper, then carefully stick seeds
on the paper. She then planted these
strips in her garden. Do you know
what kind of glue I can use that won’t
damage the seeds?
Your mother made homemade seed tapes. You can
make glue from cornstarch
or flour. For the flour glue
mix 1 cup of flour with ¼
cup of water. Dab the glue
on strips of newspaper or paper towel at the proper spacing for the seed you want to
plant. Place the seeds on the
glue and allow to dry. For
the cornstarch mixture add
1 tablespoon cornstarch to 1
cup of cold water, then heat
stirring constantly. Remove
from heat as it boils and
forms a gel. Cool to room
temperature before use.
The paper decomposes and
the seeds sprout at the proper
spacing. This would be a fun
activity to do with your children.
Last summer my calla lilies came up
but didn’t bloom. I fertilized well. The
bulbs are several years old, could this
be the problem?
Calla Lilies produce cormels, which are smaller corms
that take several years to
bloom. If you have never
divided them, this can inhibit blooming. This year,
try separating the cormels so
the original corm has plenty
of room to grow and flower.
Then plant the cormels in
an area where you can enjoy
the smaller foliage (they will
not bloom). Also avoid fertilizer with too much nitrogen, which results in beautiful foliage but no blooms.
The ‘mother’ corm should
produce flowers for many
years.

Clearwater. Burial was in Mount Hope Cemetery, Clearwater.
Mrs. Ziebarth died at her home on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015.
MaryAnn Nelson was born to Thomas and Mabel (Groff)
Nelson on May 8, 1934, in Springfield, Brown County,
Minnesota. She married David Ziebarth on June 21, 1958, at
St. Johns Lutheran Church in Springfield. She is survived by
her husband; son Steve; daughter Carolyn; foster son John;
nine grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and eight siblings, including brother Delmar Nelson of Springfield; and
many nieces and nephews.
Linus Schons
Mass of Christian Burial for Linus Schons, 84, was held
at 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 10, at St. Michael’s Catholic
Church in Morgan. Burial was in St. Joseph’s Catholic
Cemetery, Clements.
Mr. Schons died Tuesday, January
6, 2015, at Gil-Mor Manor in Morgan.
Linus Herbert Schons, the son of
Harry and Theresa (Steffl) Schons, was
born March 23, 1930, in New Ulm.
He grew up on the family farm near
Clements and received his elementary education at a country school near
Clements. Linus graduated from St.
Linus Schons
Mary’s High School in Sleepy Eye on
June 1, 1947.
On June 12, 1951, Linus married Inez Zamzow in St.
Joseph’s Catholic Church in Clements and the couple made
their home on a farm near Clements. Following their retirement they moved to Springfield. Linus became a resident of
St. John Lutheran Home in Springfield before he and Inez
entered Gil-Mor Manor in Morgan in January 2012. Linus
was a farmer and a truck driver. He worked for Clements
Grain and Feed and Sanborn Farm Chemical, driving truck
for many firms, most recently Brown Transfer. He was a
member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Clements where
he was involved in various church activities including church
dinners and festivals; he also was a member of Catholic Aid.
After he and Inez moved to Springfield, they were members
of St. Raphael’s Catholic Church.
Linus and Inez enjoyed going out to eat and dancing – they
went dancing almost every weekend. Each year, they traveled for six consecutive weeks. Linus also enjoyed fishing,
hunting, and drinking coffee and playing cards with “the
boys” at the Mark Twain Café.
He is survived by his daughters, Lynn (Steve) Dolan of
Wittmann, Arizona, and Lori (Eugene) Zempel of Morgan;
and grandchildren, Jennifer Schmidt of Morgan, Jason
(Carrie) LeGare and their children Gabby, Ethan, Owen and
Olivia of Bettendorf, Iowa, and Jeremy (Heather) LeGare and
daughter Elise of Louisville, Kentucky. Also surviving are his
brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jim and Joyce Zamzow of
Sleepy Eye; and sisters-in-law, Lil Zamzow of Sacramento,
California, Fern Kitzman of Edmond, Oklahoma, Shirley
Smetak of Redwood Falls, Dorothy Zamzow of Morgan, and
Mary Ann Zamzow of Morgan. Linus was preceded in death
by his wife, Inez, in 2012.
The Nelson-Martin Funeral Service of Morgan was entrusted with funeral arrangements. E-mail condolences may
be sent via www.nelsonmartinfuneralservice.com.
Blessed be his memory.

Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest winners
In a society where Christmas has become for many — especially children — a secular holiday, the Knights of Columbus has introduced the Keep Christ in Christmas
poster contest. The contest allows young people to engage their creative talents and
imaginations while understanding the true, spiritual meaning of Christmas. Winners
of the poster contest sponsored by St. Raphael Council of the Knights of Columbus
are Leo Hovland, son of Chad and Tanya Hovland, winner of the ages 5-7 category;
Grace Goedtke, winner of the ages 8-10 category, and Joseph Goedtke, winner of
the ages 11-14 category. Joseph and Grace are children of David and Kathleen
Goedtke. Each of the poster contest winners received $20 in Springfield Chamber
Bucks, and their posters advance to the state contest. Lynn Hoffmann coordinated
the local contest.

Springfield Area Foundation
acknowledges gifts, memorials
Foundation (SAF) acknowledges a recent gift from
Hilary and Elizabeth Mohr;
and a gift in memory of Don
Anderson by Floyd and Sue
Rogotzke
Foundation is built by donors — people, organizations and businesses who
want to improve our community now and in the future.
Donors give to community
through the Springfield Area
Foundation. The foundation
provides people the opportunity to leave a legacy. The
“gift” itself is never spent,
so the gift keeps giving back
to community year after
year after year. Only the interest is used to benefit and
enhance the quality of life in
our community. The foundation provides the means to
build a substantial amount
of money from contributions
both large and small. The
income from these funds is
used to meet the changing
needs of the community.
What does it mean
the Kingdom?
Coats for Kids — a heartwarming local project
Coats for Kids is a special project that provides coats to keep children warm in our community. It is a Springfield project that provides coats, snow pants, and, sometimes,
boots, too, for children in local schools who do not have sufficient warm clothing to keep them warm and safe. The project is a local initiative — it is funded locally and
distributed locally. The fifth-grade at Springfield Public School, in classes taught by Sharon Stern and Troy Hoyt, contributed their nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars in
recent weeks and collected a total of $369.60 for the project. Elementary students have been contributing to the local Coats for Kids project for about 20 years. Pictured
with the fifth-graders are Kami Castleman, (left) local social worker and family facilitator at Springfield Public Schools, and fifth-grade teachers Troy Hoyt and Sharon Stern.

Looking forward by looking back
by Lee H. Hamilton
With the 114th Congress just underway, the political world is focused intently on the road ahead.
Taxes, trade, immigration, climate
change, job creation, the Affordable
Care Act there’s a long list of issues
and one burning question: whether a Republican Congress and a
Democratic President can find common ground.
Yet before we get worked up about
what’s to come, we need to take a
hard look at the Congress that just
ended and ask a different question:
Why was it such an abject failure?
Let’s start with a basic number. According to the Library of
Congress, 296 bills were passed by
the 113th Congress and signed by
the President. Just for comparison’s
sake, the “do-nothing Congress” of
1947-48 got 906 bills through. The
Financial Times called this most recent version “the least productive
Congress in modern U.S. history.”
The only silver lining was that the
cost of running Congress was down
11 percent.
Congress failed most spectacularly
on the basics. Not one of the dozen
annual appropriations bills passed,
while the budget resolution, which
is supposed to set overall fiscal policy, never even got to a vote. In both
houses, the leaders did what they
could to make the legislative body
of the world’s greatest democracy
as undemocratic as possible. Senate
Democratic Majority Leader Harry
Reid used legislative maneuvers to
block amendments more often during his time as majority leader than
any of his five predecessors. In the
House, Republican leaders used socalled “closed rules,” which prohibit
amendments, a record number of
times. Both approaches denied by
legislative device the opportunity
for Congress to work its will.
When Congress did legislate, it
did so in the worst possible way
— by using an “omnibus” spending bill into which it crammed everything it could manage. The bill
was put together in a single week,
guaranteeing minimal study by the
members of Congress who voted
on it. Ostensibly meant to fund the
government through September, it
contained a host of provisions that
deserved a full airing.
Instead, with virtually no public debate, Congress multiplied the
amount of money that wealthy donors can give to the political parties;
loosened regulations on Wall Street;
cut funding for the Environmental
Protection Agency, forcing it to its
lowest staffing level in over two decades; and hacked funding for the
IRS. This last measure, a gift to tax
cheats, was an especially egregious
assault on ordinary taxpayers, who
will now be asked to foot a bill that
robust enforcement of the tax laws
would have spared them.
Congress’s reliance on omnibus
bills, which are written in secret, has
had a variety of pernicious effects.
The procedure violates every rule
of good legislative process, denying transparency and accountability.
It allows Capitol Hill to curry favor
with all sorts of special interests but
no public reckoning. It forces — or
allows — members to vote for provisions that would have had little
chance of surviving on their own.
And it puts enormous power in the
hands of the leadership of both parties — not least because lobbyists
have come to understand that they
need to have a representative in the
room where the omnibus is crafted,
and therefore they focus money and
attention on leaders.
The last Congress maintained one
other lamentable trend: it took “oversight” to mean injecting its investigations with excessive partisanship
— Benghazi, the IRS’s examination
of conservative groups, the VA’s
mishandling of health care for veterans — while forgetting the crucial,
ongoing oversight of government. It
allowed itself to be co-opted by the
intelligence community, which persuaded Congress to neglect a public debate on massive surveillance,
hacked the Senate’s computers, misled Congress about the nature and
extent of torture, and leaked classified details to the media.
The congressional leadership
is now under pressure to show
Americans that they can be successful. Let’s hope they consider “success” to include avoiding the bad
habits of the past — by paying more
attention to their constituents than to
special interests; enforcing their own
ethics rules more vigorously; and
most of all, following the “regular
order” based on 200 years of legislative experience, which would allow
the full debate and votes Congress
needs to serve as a true coequal
branch of government.

As members of the Minnesota Senate who represent Southwestern Minnesota, we are concerned about Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Commissioner Tom Landwehr’s
comment that “there is no tourism in Southwestern Minnesota other than pheasant hunting. “(Pheasants’ plight to be
mulled at summit, Star Tribune, December 7, 2014).
The sport of pheasant hunting does play a role in our area’s
tourism economy. However, it is certainly NOT the only activity tourists can enjoy in Southwestern Minnesota.
Southwestern Minnesota has something for everyone. Our
local chambers of commerce and tourism bureaus work hard
to promote several areas of tourism.
For the commissioner to say that tourism in Southwest Minnesota encompasses nothing but pheasant hunting does our
constituents a disservice. We invite Commissioner Landwehr,
and, indeed, all Minnesotans to travel to Southwestern Minnesota and discover all our area has to offer.

Strengthening community
The strengthening of your community is an effort that

“bottom line,” so does each and every contribution to
the total product.
Opportunity is what we make of it and it is framed
within the community one resides. We each live within a

Policies and dynamics to watch for
during 2015 legislative session
Minnesota lawmakers gaveled in the
2015 legislative session on January 6 facing a daunting to-do list, including crafting a
$40 billion plus budget and fixing the state’s
aging transportation system. And they must
accomplish it all with divided government. Here are some of the top policies, personalities and other dynamics to watch for as
the 2015 political season kicks off:
Metro vs. outstate The most expected
theme of the 2015 legislative session was set
before the 2014 election results were even
finalized. House Republicans had Greater
Minnesota voters to thank for their victory
— they picked up 10 of the 11 seats they
gained in outstate Minnesota — and they
knew it. Since then, Republicans have split
up the environment and agriculture committee into two separate entities, and added
two committees: the Greater Minnesota
Economic and Workforce Development
Policy Committee; and the Mining and
Outdoor Recreation Policy Committee. DFL
Rep. Jean Wagenius, former chair of the
combined agriculture and environment committee, was bounced from the new GOP-led
environment committee altogether, a move
that miffed Democrats and environmental activists. Democrats already seem to
be fashioning a 2016 campaign theme that
claims Republicans aren’t fighting for the
entire state. One factor to watch will be how
these tensions continue to play out.
The transportation debate Both
Republicans and Democrats say addressing
the state’s lagging transportation system is
a top priority next session, but how they go
about trying to fix problem will be one of the
central dramas of the 2015 political season.
DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and Democrats in
control of the Senate say there’s not enough
money available in the budget to address
transportation needs across the state, which
the governor’s own administration puts as
high as $6 billion over the next 10 years.
But Republicans in control of the House say
passing any kind of gas tax increase in the
upcoming session is unlikely. Other groups
are starting to weigh in, too: the Republican
Party is saying no to new revenues, while
the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce says
improvements can be paid for with new user
fees and more money in the state’s budget
dedicated to transportation. The question
of priorities — namely, outstate roads and
bridges verses metro-area transit projects
— will also be part of the debate. The new
chair of the House Transportation Policy
and Finance Committee is significant in
that sense: Rep. Tim Kelly currently doesn’t
serve on any transportation committees,
though he is from Red Wing.
DFL Sen. Tom Bakk If the last two years
were any indication, Senate Majority Leader
Tom Bakk is an independent operator. Even
when the DFL controlled both chambers
of the Legislature, he clashed with House
Democrats and Gov. Mark Dayton on everything from bonding to the minimum wage to a
new Senate office building. With that in mind,
it’s not wise to assume he will immediately
align himself with Dayton on the governor’s
priorities. In fact, Bakk occupies some common ground with the new Republican-led
House, including support for the PolyMet
Mining project on the Iron Range. What’s
more, Bakk has had his door open to business
groups in the state since he was first elected
majority leader.
Dayton ‘unbound’? Dayton hasn’t said
much about his agenda since he was re-elected this fall, but he’s made this much clear: He
plans to make his last four years in the governor’s office count, and has already dubbed his
approach as “Dayton unbound.” Yes, Dayton
has a Republican House and a DFL Senate to
work with, but that doesn’t mean the governor
can’t set the terms of the debate. Dayton will
be the first to unveil his budget plan in late
January, for instance, and that will almost certainly include some kind of new revenue for
transportation projects across the state.
Kurt Daudt and the new House GOP
— Everyone seems to agree that incoming
Republican House Speaker Kurt Daudt is an
easy guy to work with, earning high praise
from DFL leaders and Republicans alike. The
big unknown factor is the how he manages
his new caucus, as well as how conservative
this caucus will lean. There’s also a question
of how dedicated the more seasoned members
of Daudt’s own caucus will be this session.
Daudt, who is heading into only his third term
in the House, was challenged for the speaker
job by two more experienced legislators in a
five-hour meeting in November.
How much attention will education policy
get? It’s not obvious — lawmakers have a
big transportation debate ahead, a surplus
to spend and a budget bill to craft — but
education might get some major attention in 2015. It’s been brewing quietly, but
House Republicans want to push an substantial education policy agenda to try and address Minnesota’s achievement gap between
white students and racial minorities. Expect
Republican lawmakers to introduce proposals to give school districts more control and
expand charter schools and the Teach for
America program in the state.
Tax cuts Capitol watchers expect tax cuts
and tax reform to be a major point of debate
in the newly configured Legislature. Senate
Democrats have always been interested in
major tax reform — they created a separate
tax reform committee — and they didn’t get
everything they wanted in during the 20132014 biennium. DFL Sen. Ann Rest, head
of the tax reform committee, has previously
supported a major overhaul of the state’s sales
tax. Republicans have kept possible tax cuts
on the table, and business groups like the
Minnesota Chamber of Commerce are already pushing income tax cuts. Springfield Advance-Press
Several local SDSU Jacob Anderson

Camp Enterprise a
fantastic experience,
say local students
Two Springfield High
School juniors, Abby Baumann and Kaelyn Platz, were
among 110 students from 61
high schools who attended
Rotary Camp Enterprise November 6, 7 and 8, 2014, at
YMCA Camp Ihduhapi at
Loretto, Minnesota.
Camp Enterprise is an
intensive three-day retreat
where qualified high school
juniors explore the fundamental challenges, opportunities, and obligations of
the free enterprise system. They were sponsored by the
Springfield Rotary Club who
paid all their expenses which
included housing, food, and,
transportation.
Abby and Kaelyn visited
the local Rotary Club during their January 6 lunch
meeting at Tommy’s Central Street Steak House and
told about their experiences.
During the retreat, the students interacted with a wide
variety of keynote speakers
and business professionals
as they made presentations
on their experiences. And
all the while, with the help
of their Rotary mentor and
counselor, solved a group of
business problems and developed a business plan for
a struggling company that
they presented to a Venture
Capital team.
It was a fantastic three
days of leadership training,
presentation skills development, team building, business experience and fun, the
girls said.
