Hordes scour the Lake Superior shore for agates. But some of the best searching grounds lie in Central Minnesota, thanks to the glaciers that dropped them here.</h2>

Look for it, he encouraged. It's got purple bands. Red bands. A perfect example. Four of us stood in a tight circle, but only Opatz saw the agate. </div>

He released it from the dried grass binding it to the moss-covered, rock-strewn ground. Admired it. Eventually dropped the thumb-sized stone into the worn camera bag with the rest of the day's finds.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">
We'd been exploring the concave cut of a small, privately owned gravel pit overgrown with weeds dried beige and rattling in the wind. As we headed back to the vehicles with ankles full of prickers and a couple of finds, we were wondering how many generations of kids had combed the site.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">
Opatz was still looking.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">
Opatz, 55, who runs an excavating business out of Holdingford, is always looking. On days like this one, he'll spend a few spare hours walking a farm field, inspecting a dirt pile, checking out the long-abandoned, shallow pit. Sometimes he'll arrive at a job site an hour early to hunt agates……..Read rest of the story..<a href="http://bit.ly/RXAvQB+"><span style="color: #042eee;">http://bit.ly/RXAvQB+</span></a></div>

<br />
Greater Minnesota Gas will run a pipe from Upsala to the county line, and Xcel Energy will pipe it from there to Holdingford and beyond.
<br />
The main lines will run along the streets and alleys and from the main line to the homes and businesses. Xcel Energy will bring the lines to the residents and businesses, and install the meters.
<br />
The first 75 feet and meter will be free. Anything over 75 feet will cost $3.50 per foot.
<br />
It will be up to each home owner to have a qualified person bring the line into the home and hook up furnaces, water heaters, etc.
<br />
The natural gas will be provided and billed by Xcel Energy and be included on your Xcel Energy electric statement.
<br />
We will be having sign up meetings in the near future in which everything will be explained including the amount of savings using natural gas.
<br />
There will be a mailing to let everyone know when these meetings will occur.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<br />
The Holdingford school district is hoping to expand its ability to incorporate food grown on Minnesota farms into student meals with new Farm to School grant funding.<br />
The district currently serves locally grown corn and cabbage, according to Minnesota Department of Agriculture spokesperson Michael Crusan.<br />
To begin serving more types of food, the district needed some kitchen upgrades. So they plan to purchase kitchen supplies and light processing equipment through a combination of their own money and grant funds from the MDA and Blue Cross Blue Shield.<br />
MDA Commissioner Dave Frederickson joined Minnesota Department of Education Deputy Commissioner Jessie Montano, Blue Cross Blue Shield representative Kristi Probst, Holdingford school staff and local farmers at an award program Friday at the school. They toured the kitchen and school garden.<br />
Holdingford was one of 15 districts in the state to receive 2014 Farm to School grant funds.<br />
Crusan said with almost $4,000 the district will purchase sheet pans, knives, serving trays and storage equipment, among other items, to increase its capability to serve locally grown food.<br />
Holdingford serves about 575 breakfasts and about 835 lunches each day, he said.<br />
"They are hoping to increase the frequency of food purchased through Minnesota growers by 50 percent," Crusan said.<br />
Grants were created with legislation that established the Agricultural Growth, Research and Innovation Program.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"><br />Because of the housing slowdown, the City of Holdingford's growth has been stagnant the last<br />few years. Because the costs of running a city keep going up, we need to grow to keep our<br />property taxes in check. In an effort to help grow our city, your City Council has decided to<br />offer incentives to build in the City of Holdingford in 2013.<br />The first incentive is to wave new water and sewer hookup fees for new homes built in 2013.<br />The second incentive is to rebate the city's portion of the property tax for two years on any new<br />construction done in Holdingford City limits in 2013. Whether you build a new home, add on to<br />an existing home, or add an outbuilding to your property in 2013, the City will reimburse the city<br />portion of your property tax bill on that NEW construction. When planning to build, bnng along<br />a copy of your 2013 property tax statement with your building plans when applying for a<br />building permit. Our city clerk will have all the details about the building incentives and<br />information on how to apply.<br />A couple of other issues that need to be brought up: the first is DOGS! We are getting many<br />complaints about dogs running loose in the city. The city ordinance states, all dogs must be on a<br />leash or kept in the dog owner's yard. We will aggressively pick up all dogs we find wandering<br />loose and take them to the kennel in St. Cloud. This action is a very expensive cost to the city<br />and will also be a very expensive cost to the owner when reclaiming their pet. Let's be<br />responsible pet owners and take care of our pets! The second issue: we have been having a rash<br />of problems with our sewage lift station pumps getting plugged up. We are finding articles of<br />clothing, toys, sanitary napkins, condoms diapers etc. in the pumps. These pumps are designed<br />to handle a certain amount of debris, but lately they have been overwhelmed. When this happens<br />our maintenance staff needs to go down, pull and dismantle the pumps to clean them out. This is<br />very time consuming and not a very pleasant task. So please watch what gets flushed into our<br />sewer system. THANK YOU!</span></span><br />
