By Lori EhdeSnowmobile enthusiasts are poor-weather fans. The worse the winter weather, the better they like it, and without snow, their interest in the sport tends to fade.After a few mild winters, membership in the local Sno-Masters Snowmobile Club is less than half of what it used to be at only 26 members.Now, with several inches on the ground, club members hope to spark new interest in the group."We’re drawn together by a concern for snowmobiling and our community, and enjoy associating with other snowmobilers," said Sno-Master member Terry Hoffman, Luverne."But most of all we like snowmobiling, and want to help further it in our area. We think we can do some good while having fun."With new activities on the calendar this year, the club is drawing some attention. During Winterfest weekend, for example, on Dec. 6, the Sno-Masters sponsored a racing event that drew 76 entries in several categories.A snowmobile safety course last weekend filled nearly to capacity with 33 young drivers now certified.The Sno-Masters will have a Fun Run this weekend, and a Nick Mann memorial run is planned for January.All this, with any help from the weather, should help the club. "Now if we could just make sure it snows," said Sno-Masters member Seth Stegenga. "There’s a lot of snowmobilers in town, but we don’t see them at meetings."The Sno-Masters Club was founded in 1968 for the purpose of group rides and organized routes. Back then, the routes consisted of ditches and waterways.Today, the club takes credit for 50 miles of groomed trails that connect to trails in neighboring Pipestone and Nobles counties.The result has been safer riding and a better reputation for snowmobilers."It really makes us look bad when snowmobilers ride across people's lawns," said Stegenga, Sno-Masters trail coordinator. "There's a lot of people out there who think snowmobiling is their right. It's not. It's their privilege."Much of the Sno-Masters trail cuts through private land, with permission of landowners, so the club emphasizes respect for property, and staying on the trail.City ordinances prohibit snowmobiling in town, but riders can take side streets directly to and from trail outlets. A popular access point is Howling Dog, where riders can park trailers and access the trail behind the business.Trail maps are also available at Howling Dog.The map has changed slightly in the past few years, particularly with regard to the Blue Mounds State Park.Snowmobiling isn’t allowed on the new bike path, which occupies portions of the old snowmobile trail east of the Blue Mounds cliff line.For years, snowmobilers have been riding a loop atop the Mounds by the bison pens, but park officials say that has never been part of the Sno-Masters sanctioned trail.Because the Sno-Masters helped fund a portion of the winter warming house in the park, the trail goes to and from the building, but the official trail is north of the campgrounds and water area. Snowmobiles can enter the park at the Main Entrance from County Road 20 on the west, and north of the lower dam from County Road 8 on the east.The Sno-Masters trail groomer is paid for with annual grants through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Last year, the allotment was $14,000. This year it’s $9,000.This weekend’s Sno-Master’s Fun Run, which is a major fund-raiser for the group, will start at noon Saturday, Dec. 20, at the Howling Dog.Stops are planned in Kenneth, Lismore, Hardwick and Trosky, and riders can join from any of those locations.It costs $30 to join the Sno-Masters, $20 of which covers benefits from automatic membership in the Minnesota United Snowmobilers Association.For information on the club, its events or how to join, contact Stegenga or one of the Sno-Masters officers: Lyle Stroeh, Dave Severtson, Eric Sandbulte or Adam Siebenahler.

By Brenda WinterSuperintendent Dave Deragisch told school board members at a recent meeting that the boiler pipes in the high school building may not last until spring.Deragisch said the pipes leading to the boiler leak and will need repairs soon. "It’s summer work, though. We’re going to limp along and hope we get through the winter. If the pipes don’t hold up and a repair job is needed, we’ll have to do something else with school for a couple of days," Deragisch said. The boiler was out of commission for a few days this fall, but fortunately it was during the warmest days of the season. Deragisch said the boiler itself works fine, but the pipes leading to it leak and are located under the basement concrete. He said an above-floor pipe cannot be used to fix the problem for safety reasons.

By Lori EhdeThe Rock County Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance Tuesday making it illegal to inhabit a building that housed a meth lab until after it’s been cleaned.The ordinance, recommended by Nobles-Rock Public Health, would also make homeowners liable for cleanup costs.When local law enforcement seize drugs and methamphetamine labs from a home, the Minnesota Drug Enforcement Agency removes drugs hazardous materials, and the state pays for that work.But before it’s safe to live there again, Public Health officials say it needs a good housecleaning.Rock County Sheriff Mike Winkels agrees with the ordinance, especially with regard to rental properties."We bust the druggies, they go to jail, and someone else rents the property," he said. "The new renters don’t even know what’s there … What hazard is still there?"Winkels said there have been four meth labs seized in Rock County homes in the past two years.The ordinance, among other things, puts the burden of cleanup — and associated costs — on property ownersIn its recommendation to the County Board, the Health Board wrote, "We are estimating that each clandestine lab incident could consume up to three days of Public Health Director and Sanitarian time with the potential cost of $840."No additional money is being allocated to Nobles-Rock Public Health Services for the enforcement of this proposed ordinance …"Commissioners adopted the ordinance, which becomes effective in January, but had questions about its fairness to property owners.Commissioner Richard Bakken said meth manufacturers are attracted to rural rental properties because of their remote locations and hands-off landlords."There are a lot of properties owned by little old ladies who don’t have much knowledge of what’s going on out there," Bakken said.Commissioner Jane Wildung also pointed out that landowners are bound to act within the law as far as reasons for evicting tenants.The board agreed to work with law enforcement townships to try to find solutions for the cost of cleanup for homeowners – particularly for properties that have no value.

By Lori EhdeWhen the Rock County Board of Commissioners convened for their last meeting of 2003 Tuesday, much of their year-end wrap-up centered around money.Among other things on their agenda, they reviewed salaries for elected officials and department heads, adopted a county fee schedule and certified the levy.County salariesCommissioners approved a 2004 salary schedule for the following elected officials and department heads:oAdministrator Kyle Oldre’s salary will increase from $65,448 to $66,102 in January. He’ll get another increase in July to $66,763."Looking at our administrator, we have one with a much greater earning potential than we’re paying him," Commissioner Jane Wildung said.Oldre said he enjoys his work with the county. "There are opportunities all over the state and nation," said Oldre, who grew up in Rock County. "But there’s nothing like home and there’s nothing like having a good job at home."oAuditor-Treasurer Gloria Rolfs’ salary will increase from $42,000 to $44,000 in January, with a six-month review in July.oRecorder Jere Ohme’s salary will remain the same at $46,275.oSheriff Mike Winkels’ salary will increase from $58,500 to $60,500, with a six-month review in July.oAttorney Don Klosterbuer will receive the same at $65,000.oHighway Engineer Mark Sehr’s salary will increase from $71,575 to $72,291 in January and to $73,014 in July.oCommissioners will receive the same pay at $12,500.oFamily Services Director Randy Ehlers will receive the same salary, $65,000.County feesIn an effort to make service fees more uniform among county departments, commissioners adopted a fee schedule at their Tuesday meeting.Some departments, for example, charged $5 for a fax, while others charged only a dollar. "We wanted to make sure we were complying with state standards," Oldre said.He said the total amount of fees collected — depending on services used — could bring in about $5,000 more in revenues.He said it’s a relatively small amount, but the idea in adopting the fee schedule had more to do with "cleaning up" the system than it did with making money.The fee schedule covers services ranging from photocopies to marriage licenses.Levy for 2004The board certified the 2004 levy at $3,485,876, the maximum allowed by the state. This is nearly 13,000 less than last year’s levy, $3,498,433.But the net levy (the amount collected in property taxes), to make up for projected cuts in state aids will be roughly $125,000 over last year’s levy."With the shift in state funding, we picked up what the state cut," Oldre said.The board recognized efforts of the Budget Committee, which included Commissioners Bob Jarchow, Ron Boyenga, Auditor-Treasurer Gloria Rolfs and County Administrator Kyle Oldre.Oldre said the committee’s job was made easy due to efforts of department heads."They all recognized early on the dilemma the board was in, and stepped up," Oldre said."What we ended up with is a budget that not only addresses this year’s concern for ‘04, but positions us for addressing ‘05 as well."

Right now, we don’t have that."It looked like Danielle Loosbrock might be in for a big game when she drained field goals early in the first quarter to give LHS 2-0 and 4-3 leads, but the score was tied at five when Worthington went on a 6-1 run to open an 11-6 lead.A field goal by Mindy Nieuwboer and two free throws from Traci Evans trimmed the difference to one point (11-10) before the Trojans extended their lead to 13-10 by the end of the first quarter.The momentum swung into Worthington’s favor when the Trojans scored the first 12 points of the second quarter to open a 25-10 lead.Nieuwboer, who led the Cards with 14 points, hit a field goal with 22 seconds remaining in the first half to keep the Cardinals from being shutout in the second stanza.Worthington, which led 25-12 at the intermission, went on an 11-0 run after the teams exchanged baskets in the early stages of the third quarter to gain a 40-16 lead that was trimmed to 20 points (40-20) by period’s end.Luverne received a three-point play from Marissa Stewart and a three-point shot by Maggie Kuhlman in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter that sparked an 18-7 run that ended with Worthington leading by nine (47-38) after Samantha Gacke hit a field goal with 53 seconds remaining.Worthington, however, outscored the Cards 4-2 the rest of the way to prevail by 11.Nieuwboer led LHS with three steals.

Hills-Beaver Creek junior Kale Wiertzema (31) scored 26 points to help the Patriots defeat Ellsworth 72-65 in Hills Monday. Pictured for Ellsworth are Lee Farrell (55) and Adam Sieff (23).By John RittenhouseA winter storm outside couldn’t match the intensity inside the Hills-Beaver Creek High School gym Monday, where the H-BC Patriots squared off against Ellsworth in a boys’ basketball showdown.H-BC and Ellsworth, two of the area’s top teams, met in an early-season game between two friendly rivals.For now, H-BC owns bragging rights over the Panthers by handing the state runners-up from last season a 72-65 setback at the end of a competitive game.The win ups H-BC’s record to 4-0. Ellsworth slips to 1-3 with the loss.H-BC got off to a fast start by scoring the first five points of the opening quarter before sporting a six-point lead (9-3) after Trey Van Wyhe connected for a field goal at the 4:41 mark of the period.The Panthers whittled H-BC’s lead down to three points twice, but a late surge by the hosts, capped by a field goal from Tyler Bush with five seconds remaining, gave H-BC a 24-15 advantage at period’s end.Tom LeBoutillier gave the Patriots a 12-point advantage (27-15) when he converted a three-point play early in the second period.Ellsworth, however, countered with a 20-4 run that ended with Adam Sieff converting a three-point play with 1:21 remaining in the first half to give the Panthers a 35-31 edge.H-BC answered with a field goal by Van Wyhe before Zach Wysong drained a three-point shot at the buzzer to give the Patriots a 36-35 lead at the intermission.The Patriots opened the third quarter with an 11-0 run that ended with them opening a 47-35 lead when Kale Wiertzema nailed a field goal at the 4:30 mark of the period.H-BC led by 13 (55-41) when Van Wyhe converted a three-point play with 1:17 left in the quarter, but three-point shots by Ellsworth’s Todd Alberty and Sieff in the final minute of the period made it a 56-47.Alberty hit a three at the 2:30 mark of the fourth quarter to bring the Panthers within five points (66-61) of H-BC for the second time in the quarter.
