The Brainerd Dispatch is committed to providing an excellent product to all its customers. To ensure excellence to our advertisers, the Dispatch has set the following advertising policies.

All advertisements are accepted subject to the approval of the publisher. The Brainerd Dispatch re-serves the right to refuse or cancel any advertisement at any time.

Specs For Sending Ads

request. Once a proof is submitted to the advertiser, the advertiser takes responsibility for errors not marked on the proof. Correctness of ads submitted after deadline is the responsibility of the adver-tiser.

However, if there is an error that is the fault of the Dispatch, the ad will be re-run (or credit given for) that part of the ad containing the error.

Cancellation deadlines are the same as ad order deadlines. Be-cause of the expense involved in the production of ads, cancella-tions after deadline may be billed for time and materials. The labor charge is $25 per hour.

The advertiser agrees to indemnify and hold the newspaper harmless for any claims arising out of the publication of copy sub-mitted by the advertiser. This includes, but is not limited to, claims for libel, copyright infringement and trademark infringement.

Position requests will be granted, but not guaranteed, when pos-sible and will not be considered a condition of acceptance for publi-cations. Failure to meet these requests will not constitute cause for adjustment, refund or rerun of the advertisement, unless a position-ing surcharge has been paid.

Rates charged for advertising are for space only and do not include any compensation for the right, title and any in-terest to layouts, composition, material, or labor of advertise-ments created by and placed with the Dispatch. All adver-tisements remain the sole property of the Brainerd Dispatch. The Dispatch reserves the right to copyright any ad produced by its staff.

All advertising is cash with order except when credit has been approved by the company. When credit is allowed to an advertiser, accounts are due on receipt of statement. A service charge of 1.5% per month (annual rate 18%) will be charged on accounts more than 30 days past due.

In double truck ads the gutter is billed as one column.Advertising rates may be revised from time to time. Adver-

tisers under contract will be given 30 days notice.Advertising deadlines are set well in advance of publica-

tion to ensure an excellent product for the advertiser. Proofs for the purpose of correcting errors in production will be e-mailed or faxed to the advertiser. Proof of ads 40 column inches in size or more will be faxed or taken to advertisers on

Our preferred ad delivery format is PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4 Standard).

• All spot colors, RGB, etc. should be converted to CMYK prior to final PDF creation.

• Due to the nature of the newsprint printing process rich black or black made up of CMYK should not be used.

• Type that is overprinted should be no smaller than 5pt, type that is knocking out of more than one color should be no smaller than 8pt.

• When using type at the minimum sizes take into account the fonts you are using as some script and thin bodied type may still be too thin at these sizes.

• Do not use ICC or embedded color profiling as there could be a potential color shift from what you see on your screen ver-sus what you will see on the final piece. This is due to the fact that your profiles may not match our profiles during final output causing the colors to shift to try to match our profiles.

• All fonts must be embedded.• OPI cannot be used.• Any images used in your original document should be at a

minimum resolution of 200 dpi.• All PDF’s created from software that supports layers and

live transparencies (i.e. Adobe CS Suite, Quark, etc.) must have all layers and live transparencies flattened within the final PDF delivered to us. If this is not done we can not guarantee your transparency settings will match ours during the digital work flow. This could potentially create undesired effects in the final output of your ad.

• PDFwriter is not acceptable for creating a PDF for print pro-duction. At our discretion we may occasionally choose to work with PDF’s created from Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, or other office applications as best we can, but can not guarantee final output. They are designed for Desktop Publishing not Print Production and typically are missing important capabilities for producing CMYK color, correct font embedding, etc.

• We also will accept native files which must include all sup-porting fonts and graphics. Please call ahead to be sure we have compatible versions of software to open and work with the files.

• Any copy not sent as a digital file will be converted digi-tally (scanned) and will probably suffer a loss of quality in the conversion.

• If you have concerns or questions regarding any of the above please feel free to call.

Arnold Kowalczyk and Diane Holmquist’s log home in rural Pierz will be among five homes on

the Tour of Homes Sunday in Pierz.

Pierz homes areready for holidaysBy JENNIFER STOCKINGER

Staff Writer

PIERZ — An up-north style log

home with green trim was dressed in

more green trimmings to get ready for

the holidays and for the fifth annual

Tour of Homes in Pierz that is sched-

uled Sunday.The log home is owned by Arnold

Kowalczyk and Diane Holmquist.

Kowalczyk designed and built the

home in 2007 in rural Pierz. The home

features vaulted ceilings, a stone fire-

place, a large pond and a waterfall in

the front of the house.The Kowalczyk home is among five

homes to be on the tour that is sched-

uled from 1:30-4 p.m. Tickets are $10

and proceeds from the tour will benefit

Holy Trinity School in Pierz. Tickets

are available at the school, Unity

Bank, F&M Bank and Red’s Auto, all

in Pierz; Double Deuce in Genola; and

Radio Shack in Little Falls.Cari Woitalla, tour marketing coor-

dinator, said funds from the tour will

help enrich students’ activities and

Split puts deficit-cut package in doubtWASHINGTON (AP) — A

painful package of spending cuts

and tax increases drew sharp

challenges from both the left and

right on President Barack

Obama’s deficit commission

Wednesday, putting approval in

doubt. However, both parties’

Senate budget point men

embraced the plan, and even

opponents called it a starting

point for efforts next year to con-

trol the nation’s ballooning debt.“It’s a template that gives peo-

ple an opportunity to start dis-

cussing what we have to do to get

our fiscal house in order,” said

Rep. Xavier Becerra, a California

Democrat on the panel who hasn’t

said whether he’ll support the

package.The 18-member bipartisan

commission scheduled a vote on

the plan for Friday. But as

Wednesday’s meeting demon-

strated, the co-chairmen,

Democrat Erskine Bowles and

Republican Alan Simpson, face a

difficult chore in rounding up the

14 votes needed to officially send

the plan to Congress for consider-

ation.Winning over lawmakers who

are also panel members appeared

to be the biggest remaining chal-

lenge, given the politically incen-

diary nature of many of the pro-

posals. The tax increases it

includes are deal-breakers for

some Republicans, likewise social

program cuts for some

Democrats.The plan calls for sweeping tax

changes that would affect millions

of Americans, including trimming

or doing away with many popular

tax breaks such as the home

mortgage deduction. It would also

WASHINGTON (AP) —Pointing to the BP blowoutand risks of a new environ-mental disaster, the Obamaadministration reverseditself Wednesday and prom-ised not to pursue offshoredrilling in the eastern Gulfof Mexico or anywhere elsealong the nation’s EastCoast.

The decision was hailedin Florida, which dependson tourists drawn by thestate’s white beaches, butcriticized by the oil industry,which said the administra-tion was stifling crucial U.S.energy production and cost-ing recession-battered job-seekers golden opportuni-ties for new work.

Interior Secretary KenSalazar denied politicsplayed any role, saying theBP spill taught officials anumber of lessons, “mostimportantly that we need toproceed with caution andfocus on creating a morestringent regulatoryregime.”

The new drilling focuswould be on areas withleases that are currentlyactive in the central andwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Swans on Steamboat Bay on Gull Lake. Photo submitted by Don and Patty Rodningen of Steamboat Bay. Do you have a recent scenic picture that shows the beauty of the

lakes area? Send it to [email protected] for possible publication in the Neighbors section. Be sure to include your name, where you are from, a brief

description of the photo and when and where it was taken.

Dear master gardener: My mom is a gardener

and I would like to give her something “gardeny”

for Christmas. Do you have any suggestions?

Books and tools and plants all make good gifts.

Bookstores have many good gardening books, but

make sure they are appropriate for our climate,

which is zone 3. Books such as Melinda Myers’

Month-by-Month Gardening in Minnesota would fit

that criterion. So would a magazine such as

Northern Gardener, published by the Minnesota

State Horticulture Society.Good quality hand tools, such as a hand pruner,

a lopper or a sturdy “claw” or dandelion digger

might be welcome. Larger tools such as spades,

potato forks, edgers, etc., may also fill a need.

Other possibilities would be a membership to

the Northland Arboretum, kneeling pads or stools,

close-fitting half-rubberized gloves or a pail fitted

with a canvas lining with slots and pockets for gar-

den tools and supplies. A gift certificate to a seed

catalog company or garden store would always be

appreciated, too.

Dear master gardener: A friend gave me a

blooming amaryllis as a gift. How do I take care

of it?An amaryllis is a beautiful flowering house-

plant that has large trumpet-shaped flowers on 1-

to 2-foot stalks. They come in red, salmon, pink,

apricot, white or bi-color. While your amaryllis is

blooming, you will want to prolong the life of the

flowers by keeping it out of direct sunlight. After

your plant is finished blooming, cut the faded

flowers off, being careful not to remove the flower

stalk until it has turned yellow. After it has fin-

ished blooming, keep your amaryllis in the

brightest spot in your house and continue water-

ing and fertilizing it regularly. Make sure the

water drains from the pot so your plant does not

get root rot.Next spring or early summer, when all danger of

frost is gone, place your amaryllis outside. Keep it

in a shaded area at first, then slowly move it to a

place in your garden that receives at least six hours

of sunlight daily. Sink the pot into the ground and

fertilize it all summer.

Bring it back indoors before the first frost in the

fall and store it in a cool, dark place and do not

water it. Remove the foliage when it has become

dry and shriveled. The bulbs can be forced into

bloom again after your plant has rested for eight to

12 weeks. When you see new growth, set your

amaryllis back into bright light and begin water-

ing it again. You will see the stalks appear and

the flowers will follow about four to six weeks

later. Amaryllis like to be pot bound, so you will

only have to repot it about every three to four

years.

Dear master gardener: The soil in my house-

plants is turning white and crusty on top. Also,

I have a few clay pots that have white around

the rim. What is this?

It sounds like the soil in your pots has a build-

up of soluble salts. These salts accumulate on top

of the soil, forming a white crust. You also may see

a ring of salt deposits around the top edge of your

pots and on the outside of clay pots. You can pre-

vent soluble salts from building up by proper

watering.If at all possible, do not use softened water to

water your plants because it adds chemical salts to

the soil, which can build up and potentially injure

the roots of your plants, just like fertilizer can.

You can flush most of the salts out by holding

your pot over a sink and watering your plant heav-

ily, allowing the water to run out of the drainage

holes. Discard any water left in the saucer so the

salts you just leached out are not reabsorbed back

into the soil through the drainage holes or walls of

the clay pot. If there is a layer of salts on the top of

your soil, remove it before you begin leaching.

If the soluble salt level is very high, you may

want to repot the plant. When you repot a plant,

choose a container with drain holes so water can

drain freely from the soil. Layering pebbles in the

bottom of a solid container will not help soil

drainage.

December tips• When you buy a poinsettia, choose a stur-

dy, healthy one. Wrap it well in the store andput it into a warm car. When you get it home,remove the wrap and any paper covering thepot. Check to be sure the pot has a drainagehole. Water whenever the surface starts to dry.Place in a sunny window and fertilize in four tosix weeks.

• Poinsettia sap may irritate skin but theplant is not toxic when eaten. Holly and mistle-toe, however, can be dangerous, especially wheneaten by children. Ornamental peppers are notpoisonous but can be so “hot” that handlingthem can be painful, especially when pepperoils on hands get rubbed into eyes.

• Dust on houseplant leaves is unsightlyand prevents the sun’s benefits from beingabsorbed by the plant. Periodically clean bothupper and under sides of leaves with warmwater, to which a drop or two of dish soap hasbeen added. Do not use mayonnaise or milkbecause they leave a residue that attracts dust.

• Continue to check stored dahlia tubersand canna bulbs for mold, soft spots and shriv-eling, all of which should be discarded. Suchdamage can mean that storage temperaturesare too high and/or air circulation is poor.

• Choose a fresh Christmas tree to meetyour needs. Balsam is most fragrant. Norwaypine holds heavy ornaments well. White pinehas softer, longer and fragrant needles suitablefor lightweight ornaments. White spruce andNorfolk Island pine are good tabletop trees.

• De-icers often damage grass and shrubs.Use sand instead.

A PUBLICATION FOR CENTRAL MINNESOTA SENIORS

Tuesday, December 20, 2011; Neighbors Weekend Edition, Friday, December 23, 2011

SENIOR CLASSSENIOR CLASSSENIOR CLASSSENIOR CLASS

BAXTER — Three childhood

friends have gone nearly the

full circle of life with each

other and their mothers.

The three daughters — Bev

Ganske, Carol Blowers and Lonnie

Knutson — have known each other

for 52 years. Ganske and Knutson

met in sixth grade in the Pequot

Lakes School District, and Blowers

met them in seventh grade.

The three childhood friends, now

in their late 60s, have kept in con-

tact their entire lives — sometimes

more than other times — and now

they have another arrangement

that will make their friendship even

stronger.Their mothers live at Excelsior

Place in Baxter. Blower’s mother,

Mabel Halvorson, 91, has lived at

Excelsior for five years; Ganske’s

mother, Helen Heino, 89, has lived

there for a year; and Knutson’s

mother, Rosellyn Knutson, 92,

moved to Excelsior in October.

Rosellyn said a big part of her

decision to move to Excelsior Place

was because of Helen and Mabel.

“It was nice to come here knowing

I had friends here,” said Rosellyn.

“We’ve known each other for a long

time.”Rosellyn and Helen — back in the

day — worked at the hard-

ware store in Pequot Lakes.

Rosellyn’s husband also

worked there.Ganske said when Blower’s

mother moved to Excelsior

she’d take her mother to Ex-

celsior and the four would

have lunch or tea and cookies

together. Ganske said besides

Excelsior being a nice place

to live, her mother decided to

live there too because of the

friendships.“I love it that all our moms

live here,” said Ganske.

“When I come here I get to

visit all three moms. It’s nice.

We’ll make lunch reserva-

tions with our moms and it

feels nice that Carol’s and

Lonnie’s moms both are so

happy to see me when I come.

They haven’t gotten sick of

me yet.”Ganske said that the three

friends are lucky to still have

their mothers, as they have

friends who do not have their moth-

ers around anymore.

The childhood friends’ fathers

have since passed away.

“It’s just us girls,” said Blowers.

“Our moms all worked hard all their

lives and now they can just sit here

and look pretty and socialize.

“Family is so important to us and

we’re lucky to all have each other.”

The childhood friends have many

fond memories of their past. Ganske

and Knutson recall going into town

for a 10 cent coke floats at the drug

store in Pequot Lakes.

Knutson and Blowers attended

Sunday School together.

The daughters said that they

often times did their homework
