ting soil with one part clean sand or vermiculite. Pruning your Christmas cactus after blooming will encourage the plant to branch out. Remove a few sections of each stem by pinching them off with your fingers or cutting with a sharp knife. These sections can be rooted in moist vermiculite to propagate new plants. Christmas cacti will bloom if given long uninterrupted dark periods, about twelve hours each night. Begin the dark treatments in about mid-October to have plants
in full bloom by the holidays. You can place the plants in a dark closet from about 8 p.m. - 8 a.m. each night for six to eight weeks or until you see buds forming. Christmas cacti will also bloom if they are subjected to cool temperatures of about 50 to 55 degrees, eliminating the need for the dark treatments.
May your holiday deliver loads of good cheer, good friends and good fortune. We know we feel fortunate to serve people like you.

Many years ago, at the Stern Ranch, my son Cole was growing up in the more than festive atmosphere in our home. Now you must realize that he had three older sisters, all of them wanting Christmas to be special for the young lad. They wanted him to get excited just like they did. They wanted the days to seem like forever to pass as we got closer to Christmas Eve. They wanted him to be able to hear the prancing hooves on the roof. (Kids, dont read this next part.) So, when I was getting dressed up to go downtown and be The Real Santa at Goodhues Community Christmas, and he saw me, the wheels started turning, and I became The Real Santa. Now, in his mind, he was the luckiest kid on the planet. He was Santas son! And this allowed for
some unusual pre-holiday circumstances. When Deb told him that if he wanted a certain gift, he would have to ask Santa. He replied, I already told dad!...and he expected the gift would be there. Fortunately for me, he never asked for that Corvette, or a real, live pony, or a million dollars. And the glow on his face when he was downtown with the other kids his age to see Santa, was worth every second of my make believe bearded, red suited experience. Im not sure how long he believed in Santa, and I say that because I still do. I remember like it was yesterday, when Deb, being an honest mother, told Heidi that Santa was not real. (Just kidding, kids. He is as real as the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.) I was crushed! How could any mother crush the Spirit of Christmas like that? (And Heidi was only a junior in high school!...Really, she was much younger.) There is still something magical about little kids believing in something as big as Santa. Thats why I never gave it up. And to
this day, I enjoy watching the little children, scared to death of that big man dressed in red. That is, until they sit on his lap, or stand by his side, and tell him exactly what they want. And, if it is a good Santa, he even knows what page in the catalog, or what aisle in Fleet Farm, holds the toy of their dreams. Its a lot like The Christmas Story. Sometimes, you just have to believe. And for me, whenever I hear that some poor family, miraculously found a thousand dollars in an envelope just before the worst Christmas ever, and all of the kids got just what they wished for, I know that there is a real Santa out there some place, watching over everyone, and making sure we know who has been naughty or nice by the gifts they receive. May all of your gifts this year be special, and on sale (You dont want to break Kris Kringle!) and all the right size. From me and my family, we wish you a great Christmas filled with memories and wonderful gifts and special people. Merry Christmas, and God bless.
Happy Holidays!
Friends like you make it all worthwhile for us thanks!
I write, you read. You speak and I listen. And then the reverse you write and I read. I speak and you listen. I was in Toastmasters for twenty-seven years. Obviously, it was a good experience. I learned to focus my thoughts, to write and express myself as clearly as possible. And sometimes just for fun, to be obtuse and misleading, to keep you guessing. I also have the habit in long discussions of restating the obvious. For some, this habit may be a waste of time. But I have a reason behind and driv-
ing my madness. We all want to have as big a vocabulary as possible. Yet look at our everyday vocabulary. It consists of about 500 words with over 2,500 meanings. Even if we get a technical job and it has certain words with special meanings, we dont increase our vocabulary by a lot when we add the new words. Even the new words have multiple meanings. Yet, somehow, we communicate our thoughts almost 100% to each other. Here is an example of multiple meanings the word cool. We could be writing about temperature, or relationships, or attitudes about people, or other coolness. Our spelling rules help convey our intended meaning, assuming we spelled the words correctly. Do you know the difference in suffix
N51-1a
meanings for some words? Dependant is a person, while dependent is a relationship. The two words are pronounced nearly the same unless you are emphasizing the difference. Part of the school principals job is to enforce the principles of good behavior. English, especially American English, is a complex and structured language. In some languages, prepositions are part of a word and not a separate word. Using the correct preposition becomes critical in English. We use English without thinking about the forms, parts of speech, and how to structure a sentence. Our writing style also conveys our excitement. The next time you read something or listen (listening is harder), watch the length of the sentences. Short, simple sentences build excitement while long, compound ones slow and cool (What is the meaning of cool in this sentence?) us down. When we write technical papers, the authors deliberately use long, compound, and complex sentence structures. This style is falsely based on the belief that long sentences are equivalent to big vocabularies. (Theyre not!) The editors complain that short sentences are conversational and therefore should not be part of a technical paper. Ask an experienced writer about technical writing as to the purpose of the paper. It really is to communicate the technical ideas being presented. Then ask, Which is more efficient: long, complex sentences or short, simple ones? Think about this question, and the answer is short, simple statements. Most of the mystery of technology is the sentence structure used to explain the concepts of the specific technology. Until next week.
Wherever you go this holiday season, may peace and good fortune be with you, every step of the way. We thank you for bringing us so much joy this past year.

SEASONS GREETINGS
After running into each other in downtown Zumbrota, the Little Sisters of Hoboken pause for a picture. In front: Sister Macarena (Marie Marvin), Sister Clarisa (Sarah Kruse), and Sister Leo (Stephanie Schumacher); in back: Sister Hubert (Kim Simonson), Sister Amnesia (Ronda Anderson-Sand), Mother Superior Mary Regina (Lori Rauen), and Sister Robert Anne (JC Koepsell).
By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA The Little Sisters of Hoboken have been on sabbatical since their Zumbrota Area Arts Council performance of Nunsense at the State Theatre in 2010, each pursuing their separate interests. However, they recently bumped into each other while doing their holiday shopping just down the street from the theatre! Rumor has it, that after making
their gift selections, the Sisters decided to stick around Zumbrota a few more days for the Hometown Holiday Show scheduled for Saturday evening, December 21. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the State Theatre at 96 E. 4th Street.
Who knows who else the Sisters might see or bump into at the show? The Little Sisters of Hoboken and you can still get tickets at www.crossingsatcarnegie. com, 507-732-7616, or by stopping in at Crossings at 320 East Avenue in Zumbrota.

Lisa Hanni, Director of Land Use Management, set a raft of proposed motions before the board. The first vote confirmed the end date of the county moratorium on mining applications as March 6, 2014. Next came the four points agreed upon by Fossen and Rechtzigel in October. The board agreed to ban mining activities within one mile of cities, R-1 (rural housing) zones and campgrounds. They agreed, as a compromise, to ban the use of flocculants in washing and processing sand, but to allow the use of dry chemicals. Flocculants are chemicals that cause sediments to settle out of the mined sand, but are believed to be a major cause of pollution in groundwater. Mining companies are often secretive about what chemicals they use.
Protection for sensitive waters
not protect most of the Great River Road in the county, nor other sensitive waters. The Great River Road follows Hwy 61, and is often more than a mile from the river. It is important for recreation and tourism. Hanni recommended instead a ban within 1,000 feet of all public waters. Since public waters have been defined by the state, this would be easy to define and enforce, she said. It would also protect almost all of the Great River Road. Rechtzigel said, So long as it only covers silica sand mining, not all mines. County Attorney Steve Betcher foresaw a succession of difficult, complex, technical decisions. The time to take a decision on these water corridors is now. Expert advice came from Beau Kennedy, of Goodhue County Soil and Water District, who noted that groundwater pollution is very hard to predict, and almost impossible to control. Both bans passed by a four to one vote. Commissioner Ted Seifert voted no, saying he hated too much regulation, and doubted
Finally came the subject of harsh penalties. Commissioners agreed with Betcher that this wording was not the best, and could even look as if the county was picking on a group of concerns. Board and staff were both unhappy with fines that huge mining companies could take in their stride while continuing to operate outside the ordinance as has reportedly happened at several locations in Wisconsin. Staff were directed to draft effective regulations.

Fruit baskets made for shut-ins and the elderly
MAZEPPA A Thrivent Financial for Lutherans community service project was carried out by a group from St. Johns Lutheran Church in Mazeppa the weekend of December 7-8. Community service funds were provided by South Goodhue County Chapter #31191 and Wabasha County Chapter #31211 of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. One hundred baskets of fruit consisting of oranges, pears, clementines, bananas and a variety of apples were put together and wrapped. The fruit baskets project started as a Youth Serve project in the church a number of years ago. After assembling, numerous people were involved in the delivery. Over 100 volunteer hours of time were involved with this community service project.

As previously announced, the Bank of Zumbrota has cash donation boxes at each bank location for the Packing for the Weekend Program. Monetary donations can be dropped off through January 3, 2014. Through the program, Zumbrota-Mazeppa Schools sends child-friendly food home on the last day of the week in student
backpacks. This program is offered, without charge, to qualifying children. Martech Services Company in Mazeppa, in their efforts to help people in the local communities, has announced they will match the Packing for the Weekend funds collected in the Bank of Zumbrota donation boxes up to $2500. Last year marked the beginning of the backpack program. Donations totaled $3599 last holiday season. Donations made by check should be made to United Way of WGP
with ZM Packing in the memo line. (Packing for the Weekend is an extension of the United Way of Goodhue, Wabasha and Pierce Counties.)
Turkey Trot food shelf donations
The fourth annual Turkey Trot held Thanksgiving morning to benefit the Zumbrota Area Food Shelf exceeded event organizers expectations. According to Laurie Brengman, Almost 150 people with warm hearts came out on a chilly Thanksgiving morning to the Covered Bridge. Donations totaled $1245 and 388 pounds of
food! This was a significant increase from the 2012 event when 80 registered walkers, runners, bikers, trikers, and strollers turned out, and monetary donations of $665 and 314 pounds of food were collected. This year, the trotters enjoyed art work on the trail by Calen and Kacey Scholl. Gary Ofstie thanked the crowd for helping fill the shelves at the food shelf as the need continues to grow. Ofstie, local food shelf treasurer and board member, states money can be used to purchase food and items at a
very good price at Channel One. Channel One is a local food shelf and regional food bank serving southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin located in Rochester. Money is also used toward rent and utilities. In addition to the great result from the Turkey Trot, new groups, such as card clubs and birthday clubs, have recently begun donating to the food shelf. Some individuals have also begun donating monthly. The additional donations have somewhat eased his concerns about whether there would be enough money and food over the
holidays as needs and expenses have continued to grow. The generosity of people of the area just amazes me, Ofstie said. For those who were unable to attend the Turkey Trot, cash donations can be sent to: Zumbrota Area Food Shelf, PO Box 43, Zumbrota, MN 55992. Cash and food donations can also be dropped at the food shelf on the first Monday of the each month from 11 a.m. to noon. The Zumbrota Area Food Shelf is located at 242 Main Street with access from the back, via the alley between Main Street and West Avenue off 2nd Street.
We hope your Christmas is the most joyous and picturesque yet, celebrated with the love of good friends and family. Our best wishes and heartfelt thanks to all of you for your support.

By Faye Haugen KENYON Over his varsity wrestling career, Jace Clawiter has had to bide his time, as a talented group of wrestlers kept him out of the starting lineup. Since becoming a varsity starter as a freshman, has racked up the wins, becoming the 13th Kenyon-Wanamingo wrestler to reach 100 career wins. Triton forfeited to the KW senior on December 5 to open the season, and it was his 100th win. Clawiter saw his first varsity mat experience as an eighth-grader earning a decision over Collin Hayes of Blaine at 112 pounds on December 5, 2009. Clawiter moved into the starting lineup as a freshman, sporting a 24-20 record with 10 pins at 112 pounds. He placed fourth in the Section 1A meet. As a sophomore he had a 32-12 record with 12 pins, and he placed fifth at the section meet at 132 pounds. He again placed fourth in the section meet last year at 126 pounds. He had a 32-10 record with 14 falls. So far this season, Clawiter is a perfect 9-0 at 145 pounds. Jared is the son of Renee and Dale Clawiter of Wanamingo. Mitchell Lexvold (2012) holds the KW school record for wrestling wins with a career total of 212-23. He is followed by Nathan Lexvold (2008), 186-47, Drew Lexvold (2010), 181-21, Oakley McLain (2012), 177-23, Adam Langer (2008), 137-60, Chad Lexvold (2010), 132-29, Ben Johnson (1996), 126-30, Jarid Groth (2010), 123-79, Alex Jackson (2013), 120-64, Luke Hainka (2011), 109-83, Brad Thompson (1992), 104-39-3, and Caleb Langer (2009), 101-79.

Hayfield Hayfield was one of the top picks to win the HVL Gold Division and be a force in the Section 1AA playoffs, and they proved why with a 72-68 upset over Goodhue on Friday in Goodhue. Although not very tall, the Vikes play great defense and can shoot the ball well. Hayfield led 39-38 at the half, and they outscored the Cats 33-30 in the second half to pull off the slight upset. Goodhue had great balance in their scoring. Mikayla Miller led the Cats with 27 points with Kali Ryan netting 15 and Michelle Hadler 13.

LaCrescent For the past several years the LaCrescent girls basketball team has had a less than .500 winning average. But the Lancers are riding high so far this season with a 4-1 record. They added a 41-35 win over ZM in Zumbrota, Friday. We let this slip away, lamented Coach Paukert. In the second half we had too many fouls which led
to a lot of free throws which LaCrescent hit. It is difficult to win a game when your opponent makes 18 more free throws. Offensively, we struggled to get into any kind of flow throughout the game. ZM led 20-17 at the break, but they were outscored 24-15 in the second half. For the game, the Lancers hit 21 of 28 free throws compared to ZMs 3 of 7. Haily Dykes scored a team-high 13 points to lead ZM.

with the number of girls we were missing. Our formations were off. On the bright side, our routine has a ton of potential. We started off the season with our first eight. It took us until halfway through the season last year to do that, she pointed out. We are extremely proud of
how our team handles difficult obstacles and is still able to pull out a win. We need to continue working on kick, but I have no doubt we can improve, said Abby Hinchley. Anna Budensiek added, We are looking forward to being able to improve as a team.
Happy Holidays and heartfelt thanks for your patronage this year.

Shawn and Mitsy Bjork, current owners of the Brickhouse Restaurant in Red Wing, asked the council for a loan to offset some of the initial costs associated with opening a new restaurant in Goodhue. Shawn said the initial costs have included inventory, set-up, upgrades to the building, and payroll costs. All of these need to be paid out before they make their first dollar profit. Although an exact dollar amount was not formally requested, Mitsy Bjork did mention $75,000. The Bjorks also said that a loan had been discussed a year ago when they came to the city and asked to open a restaurant in Goodhue. If a loan was approved by the council, it would come out of the Goodhue Economic Development Authority fund. Currently, the EDA fund has $110,742.91. Councilor Tia Schimek said that the city council is not in the finance business; however, the EDA is set up to help bring more businesses to Goodhue. The council was hesitant.

Staff at KW Elementary School estimated that 41% of their students live with food insecurity. To fight this problem, each week 48 backpacks are stocked with food and sent home with elementary students each Friday. The program was established last year with the help of the All-Seasons Food Shelf
in Kenyon. The program initially sent packs home with third and fourth grade students, but later expanded to help students in need from kindergarten through fourth grade. Families are eligible for the backpack program if they qualify for free and reduced meals at school. Kindergarten teacher Heidi Haugen said that when students are handed the backpacks at the end of each week she can see the excitement in their faces. The KW Elementary School backpack program is supported by the local food shelf, several churches and private donations. In November, KW staff, students, parents and community members worked together to conduct a fundraiser for the school backpack program. In addition, once a month the KW food backpacks come with one new book for the children to keep. These books are provided through First Book, a nonprofit project that has put more than 100 million books in the hands of children across the country. Those who attended a program fundraiser on November 2 learned more about the food backpack program and
the free book program. Jan Strand is a music teacher at KWES and is president of the Kenyon-Wanamingo Education Association. Strand said, Raising money to stock the backpacks and give away books is just one way were working to reclaim the promise of public education and fulfill our mission to help all children succeed. Families who did not register for the program during conferences before the school year may still do so by enrolling at the All-Seasons Food Shelf in Kenyon.
Pine Island
Pine Island school also supports a food backpack program for students in grades K-4. Cindy Hansen, principal of grades K-8, said the backpacks go home on Fridays. Currently the school sends home about 50 food backpacks and each pack serves one student. Hanson said each week the backpacks include items such as applesauce, nuts, microwavable food cups, and juice boxes, in addition to fresh bread and fruit every other week. Crosswinds Church in Oronoco donates the food and backpacks for the Pine Island program. This is the third year Pine Island Schools
has offered the service. Hansen those who benefit from the prosaid, Parent feedback has been gram. appreciative.

We pay for the food out of Wanamingo, MN 55983 our ZM account through United 1-800-657-0169 Way. The Zumbrota Area Food Shelf supplies ZM with the space to store and pack the food.

The 2014 first quarter maintenance work plan for city staff was reviewed and approved by the council. During the winter, time is scheduled every day for snow removal; all other work is scheduled around this task. City Administrator Michael Boulton said pool manager Brandi Kyllo submitted a letter announcing her intent to resign. Boulton said the letter was received just prior to the meeting so official action will be taken in January. At that time the council will address the process for rehiring for that position. It was noted that Kyllo had expressed interest with continuing to teach swimming lessons in the future.
Permits and licenses approved
on-sale liquor sales was approved for Merlin Ring of Ringos. A license for cigarette and off-sale liquor sales was approved for Hometown Wine & Spirits. Boulton noted that all license fees and state approval must be received before the actual license for each is issued.

The service does not cost the city. The costs for inspection services is included in each building permit fee. The council carried a resolution requesting Goodhue County not include Wanamingo as a designated absentee balloting location. Absentee ballots are available through the county. Proposed changes to city fees were considered by the council. Proposed changes for 2014 include: Water meter fee increase to $260 (now $250). Debt service water increase to $22/month (now $20/mo.).

lieve in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. What comes first, confessing or believing? It is confessing the word of God. When you confess a Bible scripture you are planting that scripture into your heart. It is impossible for a natural seed to grow into a plant without first planting it. In the same way, you cannot partake of a divine truth until it is planted in your heart. You plant a Bible scripture in your heart by speaking it out loud to yourself, i.e., confessing with your mouth a verse of scripture which causes faith to increase in your heart. You must continue to speak the Word day and night and meditate on it in order to make your way prosperous and have good success.

and I were ministering to a man who had been heavily involved with drugs and alcohol. He told us that he had fried his brain with drugs and was not able to concentrate anymore. We gave him a Gideon New Testament and told him to read it out loud to himself every day. We did not see him again, because he was transferred to another institution in the Twin Cities. About a year later, he returned to Red Wing and gave a testimony that he read the Gideon New Testament (out loud) every day. He said that God restored his brain and gave him a photographic imprint of the New Testament, so that he could quote every verse from memory. This is an example of a doer of the word. Psalm 107:20 says, He sent his Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Ron Lenoch named Teacher of the Year at Pine Island School
By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Third grade teacher Ron Lenoch was named 2014 Teacher of the Year by the Pine Island Education Association on Thursday, November 14, at a presentation held at the Pine Island American Legion. Shari Ellingson said at the ceremony, Ron has been described as an active team player, generous, and easy goingnever crabby. He has a sense of humor and treats his students with respect. Ron reflects on lessons, committees, and parent concerns with detail and insight. Lenoch began his teaching career in Zumbrota in 1977 after graduating from Winona State University in the spring. He remembers that Carl Potratz (athletic director) and Virgil Green (principal) were really impressed with the borrowed suit that he wore for the interview. After one year in Zumbrota, Lenoch followed his wife Lisa to Salt Lake City, Utah, and taught school there for 11 years. In 1990, he began teaching in Pine Island. Lenoch taught fourth grade every year up through 2009, and since then he has been teaching third grade. It is hard to believe that this is my 36th year in the profession, Lenoch said.
