WINTER ARRIVES
In case you haven’t noticed,
winter arrived with several
inches of snow the morning of Nov. 10. The snow
clogged roads across the
state causing many accidents. The storm also
prompted the closing of
many area schools including the Brandon-Evansville
School District. Crews were
out taking care of the roads
on Nov. 10 and through
the night into the next day.
The weather also caused
a 2-hour delay of the start
of school for BrandonEvansville and many other
area schools. With the cold
temperatures ice is now
forming on area lakes.

B-E facilities informational, listening session is Nov. 18
The B-E School District invites the public to a listening/
informational session regarding the school facilities at both
the Brandon and Evansville
campuses.
The session will be held at
7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 18, in
the Evansville Senior Center.
R.A. Morton & Associates,
Inc. & Wendel Architects
have been commissioned by
the school district to facilitate
this session and the meetings
to follow.
From this first session it is
hoped to develop a task force
The Evansville City Council received an update on a
new lease with the BrandonEvansville School District for
the portion of the Evansville
Campus building owned by
the city.
Councilmembers Missy
Englund and Richard Novotny met with the BrandonEvansville School Board at its
October meeting.
The two said the district is
open to a long-term agreement
of 20-years or more.
Issues that need to be worked
out is exactly who will pay for
what. The agreement in the past
has been the district pays for
maintenance inside the building and the district and the city
split outside costs 50-50.
Once a lease is finalized, it
will be sent to the League of
Minnesota Cities for its opinion. It is hoped the lease can
be seen by the League before
the council’s Dec. 8 meeting
for possible approval.
The lease will need to be
approved by the BrandonEvansville School Board also,
which could happen at the
board’s Dec. 15 meeting.
The council also at the meeting approved hiring CarlsonHighland for its 2014 audit.
The firm’s estimated cost for
the audit is $8,750 which includes $2,100 for a single audit.
A single audit includes audits
of federal assistance received
and spent. The single audit takes
care of the audit requirements
for all federal departments and
agencies and is designed to save
the city from having to have a
series of audits.
An update on the 2014 Utility
Improvement Project informed
the council tar was scheduled
to arrive Nov. 4.
Evansville City Clerk Diana
Olson said she has been receiv-
that will go forward with the
results and, among other things,
review previous facility studies,
develop conceptual schemes for
analysis, discuss the multiple
impacts of these schemes, and
present recommendations to the
ISD 2908 School Board.
The board would greatly appreciate any input anyone may
have concerning the facilities
at both campuses. The board
also welcomes your ideas and
encourages you to join your
neighbors in giving important
feedback.
Evansville Council gets update on lease with Brandon-Evansville School District
ing requests for estimates on
what the assessments will be
and that she is trying to meet
the requests.
A Coffee Day for the city will
be held again with the date yet
to be determined.
The council also passed a motion to move the delinquent water and sewer bills to property
taxes on the affected properties.
The council approved liquor
and tobacco licenses for those
business in the city which sell
those products.
The council’s usual meeting
day is the first Monday of the
month but because that would
mean meeting on Dec. 1 when
there is very little available,
such as bills, for the council to
consider, the council moved the
meeting to Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. in
the council chambers.
The 2014 Minnesota
Youth Tobacco Survey found that the
percent of high school
students who smoked
cigarettes in the past
30 days dropped from
18.1 percent in 2011
to 10.6 percent in
2014...Page 3.

den, veggies, ornamentals…it
contains most of the information any gardener would need
to successfully select and grow
plants.
Let me know if you have a
favorite app you use regularly.
This week’s questions come
from Bernie in Evansville.
Is it too late to give a good
soaking to my shrubs and newer
trees for the winter or is it too
much of a risk to them now?
It is important to adequately
water trees and shrubs in the
fall to help eliminate winter injury. (Conifers are particularly
susceptible to desiccation from
winter winds.) The basic rule
is 10 gallons of water per inch
diameter of trunk (measured at
about 4 feet above the ground)
per week until the ground freezes. Of course, this amount can
vary and is dependent on soil
type, tree species and rainfall.
If I leave the flowering shrubs
and tall decorative grasses uncut thru winter and cut them in
the spring - will that be a problem? I kind of like the look of
the stems holding out over the
winter? Many gardeners leave
shrubs and grasses untouched
to add winter interest to their
garden, and provide shelter
and food for the birds and other
wildlife. Ornamental grasses
add color, texture, and movement to the winter garden, and
create interesting contrast when
they are planted near evergreen
plants. Prune out dead wood and
leaves in the spring to encourage
healthy new growth.
If you have a nagging gardening question you would like me
to answer, (or have a favorite
gardening resource you would
like to share) please email me
at [email protected].
Until next time, happy gardening!

Cigarette use drops among high school students
The 2014 Minnesota Youth
Tobacco Survey found that the
percent of high school students
who smoked cigarettes in the
past 30 days dropped from 18.1
percent in 2011 to 10.6 percent
in 2014.
This decline in cigarette
smoking, the steepest ever recorded by the Minnesota youth
survey, follows extensive efforts to curb cigarette smoking
including a 2013 tobacco tax,
bans on indoor smoking, and
tighter restrictions on youth
access to tobacco products.
Minnesota also saw declines
between 2011 and 2014 in the
use of chewing tobacco and
cigars, according to the survey.
However, for the first time,
the survey also asked about
e-cigarette use and found that
12.9 percent of high school
students used or tried an electronic cigarette in the past 30
days. The survey found that 28
percent of high school students
reported ever having tried an
e-cigarette.
“These new findings indicate
that our statewide efforts to reduce and prevent conventional
tobacco use among Minnesota
children are working,” said
Minnesota Department of
Health Commissioner Dr. Ed
Ehlinger. “At the same time,
we are seeing a wild-west
approach toward e-cigarettes,
which allows tobacco companies unlimited marketing access to young men and women.
This has led to increasing numbers of Minnesota high school
and middle school students
using e-cigarettes.”
Many young people are being exposed to nicotine, which
is highly addictive, through ecigarettes. An estimated 85,900
Minnesota public school students in grades 6-12 have
tried e-cigarettes, and 38,400
reported using them in the past
30 days. Nicotine is known to
harm adolescent brain development. Nearly one-fourth of
high school students who have
tried an e-cigarette have never
tried another tobacco product.
Minnesota high school students are exposed to a wide
range of e-cigarette marketing
tactics previously used to sell
cigarettes. More than half of
high school students, 57 percent, saw e-cigarette ads on
TV in the past 30 days. About
half, 48 percent, saw ads in
convenience stores. Students
also saw e-cigarettes in ads
on the Internet, magazines and
billboards, and in the hands
of actors in movies or on TV.
Retailers have also started selling candy flavored e-cigarette
products.
“I have a sense of déjà vu
about e-cigarettes,” Ehlinger
said. “Tobacco companies are
using old and well-tested marketing techniques to introduce
children to a new product that
delivers nicotine and potentially leads to the burden of
addiction. We need to take a
hard look at what actions we can
take at local and state levels to
stop this trend,” Ehlinger said.
E-cigarettes are having such
an impact in high schools that
though the percent of high
school students using any of the
conventional tobacco products
in the past 30 days fell from
25.8 percent in 2011 to 19.3
percent in 2014, the overall
rate of tobacco use including
e-cigarettes stayed about the
same at 24.2 percent.
E-cigarettes are often cheap
to buy, can be purchased on the
Internet, and are available in an
array of fruit and candy flavors.
E-cigarettes are not regulated by
the FDA and the overall health
risks are unknown. The 2014
Minnesota Youth Tobacco Sur-
vey included many questions
about new products, especially
electronic cigarettes, as well
as traditional conventional tobacco products. Public schools
and classrooms across the state
were selected at random and
invited to participate. Overall,
4,243 students in grades 6
through 12 took the survey.
Minnesota youth also continued to use menthol cigarettes.
Menthol masks the harshness
and irritation that new smokers
may feel. Nearly half of high
school smokers (44.3 percent)
usually smoke menthols. In
contrast, only 22.0 percent of
Minnesota adult smokers usually smoke menthols.

We are looking forward to

EV
Following the Nov. 4 midterm elections, Republicans
took control of both chambers
of Congress leaving many constituents to doubt the ability of
the United States Government
to get anything accomplished
during this lame-duck session.
However, locally, Minnesota
continues to be a state rooted
firmly in agriculture, with
the reelection of strong agricultural supporters, and Minnesota Farmers Union (MFU)
President Doug Peterson is
adamant that the shake up at
the national level, “will not
slow MFU’s resolve to work
with our local members in both
chambers on solving local issues most important our family
farmers and ranchers -property
tax, state budget and natural
resource issues.”
“Minnesota Farmers Union
(MFU) has always enjoyed
great working relationships
with our representatives who
have been key supporters and
advocates for rural Minnesota.
We will continue to work on
support to protect and enhance
the economic interests and
quality of life for our family
farmers and ranchers in rural
communities,” said Doug Peterson, MFU President.
Nationally, MFU will continue to work with the National
Farmers Union (NFU) and
the new Congress to advance
issues vital to farmers- the
2014 Farm Bill implementation, Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) and tax extenders. National Farmers Union President
Roger Johnson addressed the
need to pass the tax extenders
package during the upcoming
lame-duck session of Congress,
“Family farmers and ranchers
rely on these provisions that
are crucial to managing their
business.”

The Road To Hope
By Mick Murphy
Pastor, Calvary Covenant Church, Evansville
By now most of the crops
have been stripped off the
land and gathered into barns
or cribs or wherever you put
crops in the first place (I’m a
town kid). For me, harvest time
reminds me of summers when
I walked bean fields hacking at
weeds and corn stalks growing
where they weren’t supposed
to be. They had to be removed.
Cutting them out was the right
thing to do.
In Genesis 18, God has told
Abraham that it is God’s intention to go to the sinful city of
Sodom and destroy it because
of its wickedness. Abraham
pleads with God for the righteous people who live there,
knowing that his nephew Lot
and his small family are the
only righteous ones, and then
just barely. And in a moment
of true desperation, Abraham

asks, “Will not the Judge of all
the earth do right?”
Judgment. Harvest in, weeds
out. Heaven. Hades. Hell. The
gray skies of November set the
tone for such thoughts and we
wonder how God, the Judge
of all the earth, will do right if
we think hell is so wrong. In
answer to that, I will not get into
semantics. Hades, Gehenna
and Hell are all words that
come from places like Greek
mythology, Jewish mysticism
and Dante’s inferno. We have
a lot of images from man that
do not always say what they
Bible says.
Having said that, if you take
all the things Jesus has to say
about judgment out of the New
Testament you have, as Karl
Olsson once wrote, a badly
gutted gospel. The Bible tells
us enough to know that there is
the way of God and the way of
man and the latter is the way to
death. If we say we believe in

Heaven because it is mentioned
in the Bible, we had better be
prepared to say the same thing
about Hell. The fact remains
that it is possible to deny God
in life or hold God off to such
an extent that we push ourselves
backwards, away from God’s
presence. Do we push ourselves
into darkness or fire or a flaming
lake or where worms have their
way with us for all eternity? It
should be enough to say we push
ourselves away from grace.
Wherever it is the unsaved end
up, they are there by their own
choice. In that place, which N.T.
Wright calls “beyond pity and
beyond hope”, God will not be
found, so don’t go looking for
any kind of godly residue.
Hell is like the bump in the
night we often hear about. We
can’t see it and we can’t fully
measure, but something made
that noise and we would be wise
to stay in the place of faith.
If that idea scares the Hell out
of you, well, OK.
