Food shelf gifts to determine which ministers color hair
By RACHEL RIETSEMA
Staff Writer
To pay the electric bill or buy groceries? That is the question of many local residents these days.
But, by just glancing inside the Ellendale United Methodist Church’s food shelf, the majority of their answers to this question becomes painfully obvious. The empty shelves speak for themselves.
“This year to date, we are at a 37 percent increase in clients from where we were last year,” said Bethany Mikesell, Ellendale Area Food Shelf Coordinator. “This is due to the tank in the economy a few years ago; the grocery price incline isn’t helping either.”
In light of these startling truths, Ellendale United Methodist’s pastor Lisa Dodd along with Pastors Patrick Stitt (Vibrant Life, Assembly of God), Carrie McElfresh (Geneva’s Community Lutheran Church) and Richard Sliper (First Lutheran Church) are taking action.

This March came in like every other March for the Wayne family. It was time to pick out pigs for 4-H.
Rodney and his daughter, Remi, found what they thought would be good pigs at the swine auction in Albert Lea. There were 85 pigs available.
Over the years, the Waynes have come to know Randy Morris well, purchasing pigs from him each spring. Randy lives near Myrtle, and he and Justin Morris, who lives in Mankato, also show pigs at the fair.
Rodney and other farmers are only able to purchase pigs at an auction. They can’t just go to the Morris farm and look over the pigs available for purchase and buy one.
Rodney admits that although he is the most influential, Remi is the one who selects the pigs they purchase and is the one who takes care of them the most. They both work together to get the end product.
