Chief Shane Fox explained that the current repeater is not capable of narrow band opera-tion during the Chatfield City Council’s August 13 meeting. It is mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that all public safety mobile radios must be narrow band compatible by January 1, 2013.

It will cost nearly $17,000 to upgrade the equipment and install it on the city’s water tower. It could be upgraded for about $12,000 on the current tower which the city rents space on for $2,200 per year. Fox noted that within a few years the city could make up the difference without the rent expense using their own

The Pine Island School Board went beyond its August 13 meeting goal of specifying job qualifications for interim superintendent applicants. After establishing requirements and setting a system for grading candidates, the board decided to screen the 24 applications submitted so far, and to narrow the list of prospects to four.

Timeline The appraising-without-delay befit the board’s tight time-line. August 15 to 22, board members intend to interview finalists, check references and offer the job. The hiring date is August 24; the start date, Sept. 4. The interview panel will include at least four board mem-bers (a quorum). Pine Island school principals, Tammy Berg-Beniak (K-8) and Kevin Car-

dille (9-12), may participate if they choose to.

Requirements To reach the interview stage, candidates must earn strong scores in: • Years of experience in edu-cational leadership. • High student achievement during the applicant’s adminis-tration. • Background in collaborat-ing with staff, school board and the community. • Experience in handling a budget similar in size to Pine Island school’s. • Suitability to Pine Island. (“I’m not sure someone from a big district on the East Coast is what we’re looking for,” Board Chairman Jeff Leland said.) • Skills in negotiation (for teacher contract talks next

The candidates for county board of commissioners are set for November general election ballots after primaries narrowed the field in the three county commissioner races with more than two candidates. In the sixth district, incum-bent Dave Perkins saw his nine year tenure on the board end, as he placed third in the voting. Perkins faced stiff competition with former state senator Sheila Kiscaden entering the race. “That’s the way it goes,” said Perkins. “I’ve had nine good years with the county and three great careers, some people don’t even get one, so I can’t com-plain.” Perkins worked as a man-ager at IBM and served in the National Guard for over 30 years, and has been a county commissioner since 2003. He cited passage of the County’s smoke-free ordinance and cut-ting the county workforce while maintaining a high level of service as key accomplish-

ments during his time on the board. Perkins plans to remain active in the community, and currently serves on the boards of the Oakwood Cemetary and the Greater Rochester Area University Center in addition to his current county board assignments. Kiscaden emphasized door-knocking and voter education as a key measure of her success. “We increased voter turnout to a level that no one expected,” said Kiscaden. The 2,072 voters that cast ballots in the district six race was nearly double the showing in the county board’s two other primary contests. Kiscaden drew 57 percent of the vote and will face retired IBMer Jim Baker, who won 23 percent of the vote, in the general election. Perkins was eliminated with 20 percent sup-port. In the third district, incum-bent commissioner Paul Wil-son garnered 63 percent of the vote. He will be challenged in the general election by RCTC guidance counselor Gregg

Wright, who had 29 percent support. Loren Skudlarek will not advance, drawing just over eight percent of the vote. Wilson said that he will con-tinue to go door to door within the eastern Rochester district to hear talk to constituents lead-ing up to the election. “I certainly am not taking anything for granted,” said Wilson. District seven, with incum-bent Judy Ohly vacating the seat to run for state Senate, is the most wide-open of the commissioner races. Longtime township activist Lenny Laures drew the majority of votes, winning 45 percent. Lou Ohly, Rochester realtor and Judy’s husband, won 36 percent and will challenge Laures in the general election. Bradley Howe finished with 20 percent sup-port, not enough to continue.

We DesignYour Success

By Yvonne Nyenhuis The first letter that my husband and I received from the NRA arrived in 1965, forty-seven years ago. Included was a picture of some desper-ate, scrawny ind i v idua l s peering out through the bars of a dirty jail in a for-eign country. The message was,“This can happen to you. You are in danger! The government will take away your guns. Be afraid, be very afraid!” The Second Amendment was

written in 1791. “A well-regu-lated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. We had just fought a war for Independence, carried out by State Militias made up of farm-ers and tradesmen who brought their own guns to the fray. At this time we relied on State Mili-tias to protect our country from invading armies. The law was written to ensure our National security. It did not suggest that we needed to fear our own gov-ernment, nor did it mention hunting. After the war of 1812, it became clear that we needed a unified force, an Army and

Balancing gun rights and public safety

Navy under the auspices of the Federal government to protect our National interests. Today we have the most powerful Mili-tary in the world and a police force to enforce local laws. In the literal sense, the reason for “keeping and bearing arms” no longer exists. This law needs to be re-examined in the light of our present reality. Hunting laws are firmly established and regu-lated by the States. The only time Federal law can take precedence over State law is in matters of National Security . The NRA has perpetuated the myth over the years, “The gov-ernment will take your guns, be afraid! This has no more sub-stance than a shadow that disap-

pears when the sun goes down. The government is not made up of aliens from outer space. We are the government. The govern-ment is us! We are in no danger of losing our right “to keep and bear arms.” The Leadership of the NRA wants us to believe that they exist to protect our “second amend-ment rights.” They invite you to become a member of their orga-nization and contribute money toward this noble fight to ensure our freedom and independence. Actually they use the money to pay lobbyists, to donate to political campaigns and to feed propaganda to the media. Their lawyers write our gun laws. There is a picture of Governor Jeb Bush signing “Stand your ground” into law. By his side is a member of the NRA. President Bush said he

would support the ban on assault weapons. Some how in 2004, when the time came to re-instate the ban, the time quietly slipped by with no signature. President Bush was rewarded by a cam-paign donation by friends of the NRA. Our country has been trauma-tized by assassinations, President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Rev-erend King and a growing num-ber of mass murders. The NRA laments, “It’s a dangerous world. We should rush out and buy more guns to protect ourselves!” President Obama is for a ban on assault weapons, but he needs our support and congress behind him to make it happen. Freedom is not just fought on the battle-field. We fight for freedom every day in the choices we make in our minds and in our hearts.

Letter about Mitt RomneyTo the Editor, Othelmo da Silva had a let-ter to the editor recently about President Obama’s ignorance of the business world. I’d like to have people look at the TV ad by the President’s commit-tee questioning, “Why was Mr. Romney paying a lower rate than many other citizens were even though he had a much higher income?” Could I explain it to them?

A farmer, for instance needs land to grow his crops. He may own this land for 40 or 50 years until he retires. When he sells this land, inflation will have increased the dollar value of the property, a capital gain. Capital gains are taxed a lower rate primarily because you have accumulated this over a life-time. You will be taxed on the accumulated value and it will be deducted in one year. If this would be subject to the normal

rate, the tax man would get most of it. Business men have land build-ings, equipment, inventory etc- just like farmers. Your home will be taxed in the same way if you sell it for a higher price than you paid. You also will have to pay 3.8 percent additional because of the taxes from Obama care. Romney is in a business that specializes in buying failing businesses and turning them around to where they can con-

tinue to provide jobs for their employees.His business meth-ods have created or saved more than 100,000 jobs in a wide range of jobs. He didn’t receive Government aid like Solyndra. It didn’t cost taxpayers a penny. This is the kind of job creation that all of us should be voting for. Othelmo, that was a great letter. I’m glad we could explain it to voters.

Government this week

The Williams House By John Kruegel In a recent editorial, a local media member stated that it is behind the preservation of wor-thy historical structures in our city. Either they have a unique opin-ion on what constitutes an historic struc-ture, or Roch-ester has not lost any. I cannot recall any stories decrying the demolition of any of the structures that once occupied the sites of the present 28 surface parking lots owned by the Mayo Clinic. Of course, not all of these structures were “worthy of preser-vation,” but is an expanse of bare asphalt, used at most 10 hours per day 5 days a week, really an improvement over a vibrant neigh-borhood? At least there was a little consolation when we lost all of our downtown churches, the Masonic Temple building, and the original 1914 Mayo Clinic building. They were replaced by new, albeit infe-rior buildings, so their sites were not left as lifeless, barren, polluting surface parking lots. It does seem odd and irrational to me that progress and preserva-tion have to be mutually exclusive in Rochester. Without the past, you have nothing to build a future on, nor any way of measuring any accomplishments. Without prog-

John Kreusel

ress we are doomed to continually make past mistakes. It is the out-let for dreams, ideas and positive change, and is based on the past. Old and new can coexist -- they must only respect and comple-ment each other. We must find a practical and instructive use for the old and a thoughtful and fit-ting design for the new. I suppose, in a way, it should be somewhat reassuring to find that the Post Bulletin has remained consistent over a period of at least 40 years in at least one area of their editorial and reporting practices. In 1970, the Post Bulletin pub-lished an article on the demolition of the Graham home at 813 3rd Avenue Southeast for replacement by KMart. Included in the article were photos of the home as it had been for many years along with photos of its demolition. The article describes the 114-year-old home as being in such deplorable condition that more than $50,000 would have to be invested in the home just to stabilize it, and that the old house just wasn’t worth it. A KMart was progress. In that case, as in the current controversy with the D.H. Williams house, the figures for restoration and the reason for demolition came from the developers benefiting from the demolition and not from any reputable architectural contractor. It appears that obtaining informa-tion from both sides of an issue is not a priority in Rochester any more than is the preservation of our history.

There are two completely sepa-rate subjects/problems associated with the Williams house, and they should be considered and dealt with on an individual basis. The zoning of the Williams and the adjoining Suddendorf properties is R2 -- low density housing. That has been the zoning for years. It was the zoning when Mr. Hamil-ton purchased or signed an agree-ment for the properties, and R2 remains the zoning to this day. Apparently Mr. Hamilton expect-ed to have no problem obtaining a zoning change for the proper-ties and is now upset at being turned down. If he had actually met with the neighbors before signing a purchase agreement, he would have realized how strong their objections were. Thankful-ly, the council members who are elected to represent the residents of the city’s neighborhoods heeded the concerns of those residents and upheld the zoning commission’s denial of a variance. This may not save the Williams house -- that decision lies with Mr. Hamilton. But it may save a neighborhood where, as in every other quadrant of the city, people have spent their time and money in working to

fulfill their dreams of home own-ership in a welcome, comfortable, friendly neighborhood. These resi-dents did not invest in their homes only to lie in the shadow of a four or five story behemoth totally out of scale and out of design for the area. As an attempt at a final insult, Mr. Hamilton closes all argument stating that failure to allow his project will result in a bare lot for the neighbors to look at. The preservation of the Wil-liams house is a separate issue from the zoning change request. The Williams house is unique in Roch-ester both for the age of the house and for the history of the people who built and lived in it. Not only is it one of the few remaining brick houses from the 19th century, but it is also one of the very few homes that retains its carpenter Gothic trim. The family who built it are part of the historic fabric of this ceity. Their legacy of service and benevolence deserve more than a bare lot or a historic footnote. The condition of the house is at worst fair and more likely “fairly good.” The brick does need some tuckpointing, foundation walls need reparging, the plumbing and

electrical systems need work, and some windows and doors need repair. The roof needs shingles and some structural attention. Houses that are 40 or 50 years old need this work done. Is it really surpris-ing that a house that is 120+ years old needs work? Consider Charter House and the U.S. Bank build-ing, both less than 20 years old. In 2011 construction crews spent the entire summer tuckpointing and replacing masonry on these two marvels of late 20th century construction. What will be the condition of these two buildings in 100 years? The developer states that it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to restore the Williams house. Has anyone verified any-thing near this amount? By throw-ing around exaggerated figures like this, those who wish to raze this building have fewer people opposing them. Everyone has an opinion and agenda regarding this subject. If honesty and openess prevails, it’s a much better chance that everyone will be more accept-ing of the outcome.

By Jason SethrePublisher of the Fillmore County Journal &Olmsted County JournalCell phone: 507-251-5297jason@olmstedcountyjournal.com Do you r e m e m b e r back in 2006 and 2007 when there was a lot of talk about how when the Baby Boomer gen-eration started to retire from the workforce that there weren’t going to be enough

people in the workforce to fill all of the positions that would come open? Yes, economists were forecasting a tremendous swell of the largest working generation in America suddenly opening too many seats for successive generations to fill. Wow, sounds like it would have been a good problem to have. Those seeking employment would have been in the driver’s seat – a point of leverage – to earn more income based on high demand and low supply. Well, we all know what hap-pened in 2008 and the years that followed.

One moment please...Make the Boomers feel good

Jason Sethre

With the shift in the economy, Boomers became a little unset-tled. When 401k and IRA plans plummeted, understandably, they became a little weak in the knees about retirement. Instead of think-ing about retirement in the near future, it became a game of wait-and-see. Maybe five years, maybe 10? Boomers started thinking about their net worth and whether that sweat equity coupled with social security was going to be enough. Needless to say, the largest work-ing generation, estimated at 72 million, in America has become quite conservative with their plans for retirement. They are staying in the workforce much longer than they anticipated five years ago. So, what was talked about back

in 2006 and 2007 has been a shelved topic. This may sound crazy, but what if we shifted our attention to mak-ing sure the Baby Boomers felt good – no, not just good – confi-dent about retirement? The Boomers control more than 75 percent of the assets of the nation. As their parents pass away, this nation will see the greatest transfer of wealth our nation has ever seen. Imagine how positively this could impact the job market and the entire economy. Well, this will come at some point, but it may not come fast enough for some Generation Xers and Generation Yers. The bigger question relates again to privilege versus entitlement.

Will the successive generations filling the seats of retiring Baby Boomers be willing to work hard to keep this economy going? Are we up to the challenge? And, more importantly, are we willing to work for less money to support a large retiring population that will live longer, healthier lives with advancements in healthcare? It is going to cost a lot to sup-port the Baby Boomers in their retirement years, and successive generations are going to have to be prepared to pay their way with hopes of some day receiving simi-lar treatment from generations of the future when it comes time for them to retire. Any way you look at, the Baby Boomers play a key role in our economic recovery.

Olmsted County District Court

Rochester, MN – The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Rochester residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by par-ticipating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Rochester’s 2012 Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be held at the University Cen-ter - Regional Sports Center on September 8 with regis-tration taking place at 9:00 a.m. and the walk beginning approximately at 10:00 am. Alzheimer’s disease is the sin-gle largest unaddressed public health threat facing the nation today. As many as 5.4 million Americans are living with the disease and nearly 15 million are acting as caregivers. Cur-rently, it is the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. The number of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease is skyrocketing. The baby boomer generation is growing older – and age is the greatest risk factor for develop-ing Alzheimer’s. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this devastating disease. “There has never been a greater need for the citi-zens of Rochester to join in

the fight against Alzheimer’s disease,” said Debbie Eddy, Southern Minnesota’s Com-munity Engagement Manager for the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion. “The Alzheimer’s Asso-ciation is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research and funds raised from Walk to End Alzheimer’s will go directly toward sup-porting this effort.” Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is an experience for over 350 partic-ipants in Rochester who will learn about Alzheimer’s dis-ease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and ser-vices. Each walker will also join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease along with meeting the walks’ honorary family who are walking in memory of their mother who passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2008. In addition to the one or three mile - walk participants will enjoy educational booths, opportunities to thank spon-sors, family fun, entertain-ment, food, and a special trib-

Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association mobilized millions of Ameri-cans in the Alzheimer’s Asso-ciation Memory Walk®; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Together, we can end Alzheim-er’s – the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. About the Alzheimer’s Asso-ciation: The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of demen-tia through the promotion of brain health.

Local schools, Fillmore Cen-tral, Mabel-Canton and Chatfield will be effected by the following school lunch changes. School meals across the coun-try will take a more healthy approach this fall when new USDA requirements take effect. The National School Lunch Pro-gram (NSLP), administered by the USDA, released new meal and nutrition standards in Janu-ary 2012 - the first major update in 15 years. This is good news for over 32 million children who will benefit from the requirements, which are designed to improve the health and nutrition of stu-dents while helping maintain a

healthy weight. The changes are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed by congress and championed by First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Let’s Move campaign.

Taher’s Food 4 Life Healthy Eating Initiative

For over 31 years Taher has been committed to menu enhance-

ments for school nutrition pro-grams. For the past several years, Taher has worked to implement healthier options and offerings into our menus and programs. As a result, we are well on our way to meeting the new requirements. With the launch of our Food 4 Life initiative in 2007, we became one of the nation’s largest food service companies to remove trans fats from school nutrition menus. With the leadership of our Nutri-tion and Wellness Department and our Chef Council, we bring great tasting, healthful foods and innovative programs to schools. Our Food 4 Life menu offer-ings incorporate the following: •Chef-developed, made-from-scratch items including trans-fat free and whole grain options; •AFruit andVegetableBar aspart of the daily menu offerings with a selection of fresh veg-etables, and fresh or canned fruit;

rainbow-focused menu choices including dark green and orange vegetables, and legumes; •Harvest of the Month pro-gram that features a specific fruit, vegetable, and grain or legume each month, along with weekly educationalflyers. Stay Tuned! More news to come about the USDA School Lunch Regulations. As the new school year approaches, we will update every-one with more details periodi-cally throughout the summer and right before school starts. Look for future newsletters, pamphlets, andexamplesofwhatwillconsti-tute a healthier school lunch. We are confident the transition will be smooth as we bring back menu favorites, provide new choices and continue to offer nutritious school meals that help promote health and positive life-long eat-ing habits.

ZUMBROTA – The combina-tion of Ray Bonneville’s weathered voice, blues guitar, harmonica and the steady beat of his own stamp-ing foot create a sound greater than the sum of its parts. Audienc-es will groove to his Big Easy-style of musical storytelling at Crossings on Fri., Aug. 24, at 8 p.m. Bonneville’s latest album, “Bad Man’s Blood,” includes songs that have a down and dirty quality, capturing the hardships of every day life. Born in French Canada and raised in the United States, Bonneville writes from his experi-ence as an immigrant, Vietnam War vet, taxi driver and bush pilot, drawing inspiration from the many places he has called home—Montreal, New Orleans, Colo-

rado, Arkansas, Alaska, Boston, Seattle and Paris, France. Honing his songwriting craft for the last 35 years, Ray’s gritty storytelling and deep-grooving blues style has won him much critical attention. “It’s a loose, sparse, darkly tex-tured recording. I think folks out there are going to dig it,” Bonnev-ille said of “Bad Man’s Blood.” Bonneville credits the years he spent in New Orleans as being crucial to his music – that’s where he learned to slow down and let the music take the time it needed. His tribute to the city, “The Big Easy,” won “Song of the Year” at the International Folk Alliance conference in 2008. But Bonneville is a rambling musician. On tour around the

Roaming Blues Poet Ray Bonneville Appearing at Crossings

world, he’s shared the bill with such luminaries as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, J.J. Cale and Rob-ert Cray. The way Bonneville blends together blues, folk and Ameri-cana creates an infectious sound that intensifies his tough, poetic lyrics.“Bonneville writes tunes that are enterprising of melody while tell-ing smart, surprising little tales of emotional dislocation…”– Downbeat Magazine Tickets are $14 in advance, or $16 day of show. To purchase tickets, call Crossings at 507-732-7616 or stop in to Crossings at 320 East Ave, Zumbrota. Go to www.crossingsatcarnegie.com for more information.

Stop by the shelter soon to meet me, annika.

Awaken the Senses I had been working at the computer all day, living only inside my head and stuck in the chair. Returning to the real world, I glance out the open window to the lush green tree-tops swaying in the breeze. The call of a blue jay pierces the air. A squirrel scampers along the limb of a tree, severing acorns which fall to the deck with a loud crack. I rise and move my creaky neck, realizing I need a break. I don the appropriate garden shoes for the day, all piled con-veniently by the door so I don’t forget and accidentally step out in clean shoes, for inevitably they will become coated with soil and grass clippings. Shall it be sandals, waterproof crocs, tennis shoes, hiking boots—today is a sandal day. Stepping out onto the shady boardwalk, I immediately take in the green smell of sum-mer. The heat wave is past and the fresh air now brings an invitation to venture out. Sure enough, the deck is peppered with acorns and bits of those laboriously chewed open by the squirrels. I grab the broom from the woodshed and quickly sweep everything clean. Swing-ing my arms and following the daily pattern around patio fur-niture I manage to tidy things up and get my blood flowing. Moving out into the sun-shine, I take in the warmth and the full landscape of our hid-den hilltop. Beyond the lawn is the full spread of the gar-den, flowers in full bloom and towers of tomatoes and beans

reaching high. Beyond that rise the apple trees with apples visible as they begin to turn red. The towering pine trees, now nearly thirty years old, punctuate the view. Behind it all is the sheep pasture, and I glimpse the quietly graz-ing sheep and lambs as they do their work tidying up the formerly rampant pasture, no longer full of wild parsley. Moving into the garden beds, I notice white moths fluttering over the cabbage and broc-coli, warning of the coming green cabbage worms. I also see an occasional Monarch and yellow swallowtail butterfly, madly moving from this flower to that. I listen closely to a buzzing noise and zero in on a humming bird working showy pink hibiscus flowers. I pluck a few of the blooms, intend-ing to make some ice tea. That thought leads me to the mint and the lemon verbena, so I gather a few branches, bruis-ing the leaves and taking in the distinctive aromas which will permeate the tea. The birds are calling from

all around, little brown birds I find hard to identify. Wrens and small sparrows leave nests tucked in the trees and bushes all over the garden. I am grate-ful for their cheerful presence and glad to provide all the garden pests they need for a healthy diet. My eye is drawn to the ripe red tomatoes, so I grab a bucket and begin to fill it. Each tomato is heavy and warm to my hand, fragrant with tomato-ness. The little red Matt’s tomatoes and aptly named Sungold tomatoes beg to be popped directly into my mouth, releasing a sweet explosion of summer flavor. The melon bed is a mess of discolored and wilting leaves caused by some blight, but no matter. There are dozens of cantaloupes, honeydews and watermelons now lying in the sun. I tiptoe between the vines, hefting the orbs to determine which will slip off the vine, indicating they are as ripe as they are going to get. The bas-ket is overflowing with the heady scent of musky musk-melons. I kick off my sandals and walk over the cool, soft grass to lay back in the sun-warmed Adirondack chair. I close my eyes and take in the sensa-tions through my skin, ears and nose. My mind is empty, taking in the here and now.

Pesto

Drop 2 cloves garlic and a teaspoon of salt into a running food processor to mince. Add three cups tightly packed basil leaves and 2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts. Process into a paste. Drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil and puree. At this point pesto can be frozen. Drop tablespoon sized blobs onto a wax paper-covered cookie sheet and freeze. Frozen chunks can be stored in a ziplock bag for future use on pizzas, pasta, bread, soups and salads. Add parmesan cheese when pre-paring. To use fresh pesto, mix in 1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan. Leftover pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, covered with a film of oil.

RochESTER, MN - Söntés Restaurant announces an event that will be part dinner, part family barbecue, and all fun. head chef Bryce Lamb has long been known to be passionate about BBQ in all its forms, whether hot and spicy, sweet and smoky, internationally fla-vored, or tried-and-true Ameri-can. Lamb inherited his love of BBQ from his father who, when he cooked, almost always cooked barbecue of some kind, and hoped to open a seasonal BBQ restaurant in Seattle when he retired. Unfortunately that dream didn’t come to fruition, but Lamb is honoring the mem-ory of his father’s great summer BBQ celebrations by creating one of his own. The BBQ dinner Lamb con-ducted in May was so well received that by the end of the dinner he was coming up with new ideas for a fresh BBQ feast. The event on August 25th, enti-tled “Bryce’s Big Bad BBQ,” is timed to coincide closely with Lamb’s father’s birthday. It will

also be a bit different from the events Söntés is typically known for. The dinner will celebrate the end of summer through a neighborhood-style gathering. Guests will have the opportuni-ty to enjoy locally sourced food as well as locally sourced com-pany; the dinner will be served at a long community table and, if the weather permits, in a fes-tive setting on the Söntés patio. Local Rochester musician Mike Munson will be providing live entertainment for the evening. The six-course meal will feature dishes such as deviled hen eggs, smoked chicken wings, house-smoked sausage, Texas beef brisket, and stone-fruit shortcakes. Local ven-dors will include, as available, hart Farms, caves of Faribault [cheese], Whitewater Gardens Farm, and Kapper’s Dairy. Due to the popularity of the last event, it is expected to sell out quickly. Tickets for the six-course meal are $45 per person; advance purchase is required. A menu of suggested drink pair-ings will be available at the event, but will not be sold in advance. For questions or further infor-mation, contact Tessa Leung at 507-292-1628 or email Aman-da Vail at amanda@sontes.com. copies of the event poster are available on the Söntés blog at www.sontes.wordpress.com/press-information.

State and Federal Races Olmsted County voters slightly favored state senator Mike Parry over eventual state-wide winner Allen Quist in the Republican primary for Min-nesota’s first district representa-tive seat. There was less the two

percentage points between the candidates in Olmsted County, while Quist won with 54 per-cent of the vote statewide. County Republican voters supported U.S. Senate candi-date Kurt Bills by a margain of 45 percent to 42 percent over David Carlson. Bills won state-wide with 51 percent support and will face incumbent Sena-tor Amy Klobuchar. Bob Car-ney won 13 percent in Olmsted County, approximately match-ing his statewide totals.

Rochester, MN - The office building that is home to Roches-ter Area Builders, Inc (RAB) has earned the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) ENERGY STAR certification, which signifies that the building performs in the top 25 percent of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency and meets strict energy efficiency performance levels set by the EPA. “Rochester Area Builders, Inc. is pleased to accept the EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification,” said John Eischen, executive director. “To have a building that was constructed in 2004 meet the strict guidelines of the

EPA’s Energy Star of today is a testament to the knowledgeable, quality, and energy conscious construction of our members.” Commercial buildings that earn EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification use an average of 35 percent less energy than typi-cal buildings and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. RAB has pre-vented greenhouse gas emissions equal to the electricity use from 4.1 households for a year. EPA’s ENERGY STAR energy performance scale helps orga-nizations assess how efficiently their buildings use energy rela-tive to similar buildings nation-wide. A building that scores a 75 or higher (RAB earned 91) on EPA’s 1-100 scale may be eligible for ENERGY STAR certifica-tion. Commercial buildings that can earn the ENERGY STAR

Rochester Area Builders Earns EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Certification for Superior Energy Efficiency

include offices, bank branches, data centers, financial centers, retail stores, courthouses, hospi-tals, hotels, K-12 schools, medi-cal offices, supermarkets, dor-mitories, houses of worship, and warehouses. ENERGY STAR was intro-duced by EPA in 1992 as a volun-tary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 60 differ-ent kinds of products as well as new homes and commercial and industrial buildings that meet strict energy-efficiency specifi-cations set by the EPA. Over the past twenty years, Ameri-can families and businesses have saved a total of nearly $230 bil-lion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.7 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions with help from ENERGY STAR.

ExpoCulinaria, a food lovers event - you be the judgeBy Team ExpoCulinaria The date Saturday, September 22nd is circled on calendars and hungry culinary fans are getting their tickets early for the 2012 ExpoCu-linaria—a taste of Rushford, MN. Relished from the success of last year, ExpoCulinaria is on entertain-ment menus for 5-8 pm rain or shine. Located below lush Magels-sen Bluff and surrounding hillsides in downtown Rushford, this valley location is ideal for the energetic and fun-filled, scrumptious array of events. The evening promises to be filled with sampling and stroll-ing through participating restau-rants and businesses, a wine and beer tasting, music, judging, com-petition and winning. The highly anticipated gastronomic taste expe-rience will also coincide with the 3rd September weekend of, Taste of the Trail, highlighting the cities of Rushford, Rushford Village and Houston on the Root River Trail System. The delectable big show of the evening will be the Chef Challenge, Bring It to the Table. The culinary competition between two profes-sional chefs will create mouthwater-ing appetizers, entrées and desserts that will utilize surprise ingredients, for a panel of judges. This delicious detail will be led off this year by panel of three judging on a point scale for presentation, creativity and taste. Meet ExpoCulinaria judge num-ber one. With a passion for visiting

the California wine region and a dream to grow grapes and even-tually make good wine of their own, Mike along with his wife, Kim began creating Tower Ridge Vineyard in the Root River Valley, near Rushford, MN. The adventure began in the early part of 2005, when Mike & Kim found a 60 acre parcel that showed great promise. They began experimenting in 2007 growing different varietals and fine tuning their skills on the appropri-ate trellising system to support these precious grapes. Oh yeah - and creating some good wine! Mike’s career started with the US Air Force in the mid-70’s. Then he started a 20 year career with IBM in Texas and then spent 5 years working for a technology start-up company. Throughout Mike’s adult life he has been flying and now his talents are being put to use as a Captain pilot for United Express. In his spare time, you might see him lending a hand at the Rushford Hardware store. But Mike’s alter ego lives in the culinary world. Mike is passion-ate about creating elaborate 5 (five) course dinners for his friends. These dinners are also complimented with 2 or 3 appropriate wine choices based on what he is creating. The menus range from beef to pork or maybe even lamb, depending on what inspires him. But whatever he is creating, you can be sure it will be a memory for your taste buds. Mike loves to work in the kitchen or on the grill and will bring a unique

perspective to the ExpoCulinaria of 2012. ExpoCulinaria judge two Mary Mlynczak has worked in the food industry for 40 years. Beginning her food service career in the res-taurant industry, working as a bus girl, waitress, cook, and then management. Mary is a Certified Dietary Manager and is currently the Director of Culinary Services at Saint Anne of Winona. Mary has been with the organization for the past nine and one-half years. Saint Anne of Winona consists of Saint Anne Extended Healthcare, Callista Court, the Benedictine Adult Day Center and the Saint Anne Training Center. Saint Anne of Winona is operated by the Benedictine Health System which supports their mis-sion to achieve excellence in their campus dining experience for their customers and families. The mis-sion encompasses menu develop-ment, dining room design, recipe development, and regular cocktail parties. Mary recently attended a training session on the importance of excellent customer service at Walt Disney World. She states “The ‘Magic’ was felt and we strive to cre-ate this for our customers, families, and staff each day.” Mary’s passion is cooking and entertaining friends and family. Mary lives in Winona with her husband Mark. Ron Zeigler is President and CEO of CEDA (Community Economics Development Associates), providing assistance to counties, communities

and developers with assisted, senior, workforce and market-rate housing throughout the area and is Expo-Culinaria judge three. When he was younger, his parents owned the supper club, Hi-Lite Bar & Steak House in Miller, SD. They served characteristic fare—steak, burgers, chicken and seafood. Ron assisted with food prep, bussing and serving in his high school years. His mother did much of the cooking, also mak-ing her own salad dressings. She had her own garden from which she utilized produce for serving in the restaurant. Out of college, Ron became involved in the fast food industry, managing a Zantigo restaurant. As this was a training facility as well, he trained managers for other sites. Ron’s culinary skills are grilling anything with hooves or feathers! Oh, and veggies too. A favorite of Ron’s when dining out is prime rib with fresh strawberry pie for dessert. Ron is married to Sue (Hunger-holt), a Rushford native and they

reside in Rochester, MN. A feast for the ears, Swing Inc., of Winona, MN, ‘The Best Little Big Band in Town,’ will be returning to provide music from the swing era and beyond for the pleasure of ExpoCulinaria patrons. From jazz standards to Latin favorites, Swing, Inc. means great music for listening and dancing. The quartet formed in 1999 when trumpeter Jerry Paulson needed a group to play for a local event in Winona, Minnesota. After the first gig everyone agreed that “it sounds pretty good” and Swing, Inc. was born. Today the core group of players perform regularly in Winona and Rochester, Minnesota; La Crosse, Wisconsin and through-out the upper Midwest. Tickets now on sale are limited. You may purchase your tickets in advance from any of the partici-pating Rushford business vendors, which include the restaurants, Rushford Foods or Pam’s Off-Sale Liquor, or by visiting the site: www.chamber@rushfordchamber.com Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door.
