toward chronic disease prevention,
and improve mental health within
the area.
In addition to improving the
lives of those in Park River, grant
money also is being offered to
Dahlen, Fordville, Lankin, Hoople,
Crystal Edinburg, Adams,
Edmore, and Fairdale.
"Each get $5,000 to promote
wellness," Jelinek said adding that
it could go toward fitness
equipl ent, classes, etc. in any
effort to provide a sustainable way
of improving the health of the area.
Each community has to have
their plan decided upon by the end
of March, and spent within the
next year. Edmore already had a
fitness center in place at the school,
so they used the money to
purchase a keyless entry system
that would allow people to come in
and out as their schedule fit and
would track who was in at any
given time. Fairdale bought a
treadmill, an elliptical, and a
recumbent bike and put it in their
church community room, as did
Dahlen. Edinburg has begun
offering fitness classes in their
community center. Hoople is
working on a fitness center. And
others still are working out the
details down to the deadline.
In addition to fitness, FCHC is
offering heath screenings, Bone
Builders classes, Crisis Prevention
and Intervention classes, a stress
management class and a Dining
with Diabetes class.
The March Park River meeting
was to look for ideas of what other
wellness needs still were out there.
Kim Blake was one community
member in attendance. She offered
suggestions for low impact
aerobics, which she said Patty
Corder was going to be offering in
Grafton, including Zumba for
older and youth age groups.
Another item she brought up
was the fact that although classes
currently being offered are great
for women, there isn't much
offered for men who would rather
have barbells and weight benches
to access at any time.
Todd Kjelland said there are a
number of ideas that the Park River
Park Board is working on bringing
to the area. including gymnastics.
disc golf. tennis, soccer, wellness
classes, and park playground
improvements.
Jelinek said that she hopes one
day some of the ideas spurred by
the wellness grant can be carried
on through the park board and
offer the Park River community a
sustainable wellness outlet.
Look for wellness to be the
theme of a number of events and
projects within the next year.

Church in Park River were sent to the Save the Children organization. Every year, 4 million
babies in developing countries die during their first month of life, often due to preventable
and treatable causes. Making a cap to keep a new baby warm is one of the simple solutions
that can help newborns survive.The women from Our Saviour's continue to knit and cro-
chet for a variety of charities. (Photo: Submitted by Lyla Paulson)

the 20.000 bushel an hour receiving legs, getting
picked up seven levels by the 40,000 bushel an hour
shipping legs, to be distributed among the 1.3 million
bushel storage capacity.
Although it isn't quite done yet, McCollum said
they hope to be finished soon. The finishing touches
the 4,000 bushel an hour dryer,
some of the electrical, rail loading control room, and
the elevator's main office building and scale.
Gustafson, one of three new employees at the
elevator who was hired on after the expansion,
worked at a shuttle loader in Arvilla for the past 14
years and in Crystal for seven years before that.
"It's an elevator man's dream," Gustafson said.
"It's a Cadillac."
The old elevator, which still will be used for
overflow, was currently being used for its scale until
the new office is in operation, but McCollum said they
hope to be completely moved over by the beginning
of April.
According to McCollum, the facility has attracted
some new customers, many of them being local. Both
McCollum and Gustafson said that the speed with
which they can unload these trucks has been a big
draw.
Speed seems to be the goal of every section of the
operation.
"We think the bottleneck will be at the scale."
McCollum said adding that they have discussed
adding another scale in the future.
The real test will be when all of the pieces come
together.
McCollum, who is also the mayor of Crystal, said
this project "is a real blessing." Beyond being good
for Simplot and Columbia Grain. he added that it is
"good for the community and good for the area."
