A touch of Japan in Harmony By Barb Jeffers bjeffers@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Peace, tranquility, and relaxation. These are just three of the many words used to describe Asahi Loft by guests. Asahi Loft of Harmony, Minn. was opened in June of 2011 by Innkeepers Cindy and Doug Ofstedal. Once a guest arrives at Asahi Loft they are greeted by a place unlike any other in the area. Cindy and Doug were both school teachers in Harmony from 1976 to 1986 with Cindy teaching Home Economics and Doug teaching sixth grade as well as being an assistant football coach. The couple then
moved their family to Tokyo, Japan to teach in a far different culture. The Ofstedal’s taught in Tokyo for 25 years, and through their travels in Japan collected a wide array of Japanese items. While in Japan the Ofstedals never forgot Harmony and the surrounding area. Cindy even wrote a column from Japan for the Harmony newspaper at the time, The Harmony News, called “Jottings from Japan.” After returning to Harmony and building a home which was completed in 1999, Cindy stated that the area in the nearby building was just “empty space.”
The couple thought about using the space as a rental property or a Bed and Breakfast but decided upon something different than what was already in the area. With the atmosphere evoking a sense of the Japanese lifestyle from the shoji doors and screens to the hand carved ranma (transoms) the space of the Asahi Loft can surely give a guest a sense of Japanese living. While enjoying the ambiance of the Asahi Loft a guest will also have the conveniences of an air bath hot tub and a kitchen including coffee and a variety of teas to enjoy with the beautiful See ASAHI Page 2

Sheriff Daryl Jensen reviewed a Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) inspection report at the November 6 county board meeting. The county jail was inspected this past June. Jensen said overall they received a good rating, but the DOC wants the county to produce a long-term plan to address deteriorating infrastructure issues. The county jail was constructed in the late 1960s and is the second oldest jail in the state. Jails are considered to have a life expectancy of about 35 years. Findings of the inspection noted issues with plumbing and difficulty getting repair parts for the aging equipment. Emergency Manager/Jail Administrator Kevin Beck showed numerous slides displaying a number of physical problems with the jail. Some things are not up to state code, there is a non-functioning gate to a cell, problems with
showers, an antiquated HVAC system and so on. Jensen insisted they need to have a serious conversation to determine our short- and long-term goals, adding a “fatal error is to do nothing.” Options would include following Dodge County’s example and not maintain a jail. What would be the cost of no jail? There would be transportation costs, liability, and windshield time for staff. Jensen noted there are neighboring counties with empty beds including Wabasha and Houston. Other options include renovating the old jail or building a new structure. With the current building there is also a space issue. Could they build up or out for more space? Commissioner Chuck Amunrud added they have to consider the condition of plumbing under the building. Jensen said they use to be full to capacity which is 24, but recently have not been full since See COUNTY BOARD Page 8
Preston extends Small Cities Grant application By K aren R eisner kreisner@fillmorecountyjournal.com
City Administrator Joe Hoffman explained at the city council’s November 5 meeting that the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has suggested the city extend their preliminary application to include single family homes. Councilman David Collett was absent. Back in May 2012, the city
council approved a resolution to act as the legal sponsor for Bluff Country Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA/ SEMCAC) to seek small cities grant funds to assist with the acquisition and updating of the Vesterheim apartment complex in Preston. The preliminary proposal that was approved by the city council today will now extend the application to include a request for funding to renoSee PRESTON Page 11

“Historical Harmony” during Holiday Fest On November 17, as part of the Holiday Fest, the Harmony Area Historical Society will present its current display of pictures and other items that capture the history of Harmony. The display will be in the HAHS Interpretive Room at the Harmony Visitor Center on Saturday from 10:00-4:00 and Sunday from 2:00-4:00. The display includes guest registers and pictures of the old Harmony Hotel, which was located where the present Visitor Center is now. There are also numerous pictures of Harmony’s Main Street and private homes that show how many changes have come to Harmony since its inception. A unique article is a large plat map from 1878 that shows which families owned particular sections of land around Harmony. One display case contains pictures and items that capture the history of Niagara Cave, while another case includes pictures of former Harmony businesses, buildings, families and individuals who were part of the Harmony community. There are also many other interesting exhibits--including one
on the karst geology of the area--and old photographs. People who come to the display will be served coffee and holiday baking as well. Set aside some time during Holi-

C ommentary Feifdoms and warlords By Col. Stan Gudmundson By the time this letter is printed we shall know who will be president for the next four years. If it is Romney then this letter will help to reaffirm why he was elected. If it is Obama then it will help explain why the majority of Americans made another huge mistake. It has to do with the appalling presidential dereliction of duty at Benghazi. First however, I need to provide bit of a tutorial. The miliCol. Stan tary has Gudmunson divided the entire earth into what are called “Areas of Responsibility (AORs). I call these “fiefdoms.” Each AOR is commanded by a four star Admiral or General. These guys I call “warlords.” Each has a headquarters and a staff to support them. That means they also have created a variety of standing plans to meet contingencies.
For example, NORTHCOM (short for Northern Command) is North America, SOUTHCOM is Latin and South America, EUCOM includes Europe and Russia, CENTCOM covers the Middle East, PACOM is responsible for the Pacific Region, and AFRICOM has responsibilities in for Africa. AFRICOM’s headquarters is in Germany. The chain of command for each of these AORs runs from President to the Secretary of Defense and then to the fourstar commander Warlord. These Warlords are our military’s combatant commanders. This means that the Pentagon, Joint Chiefs of Staff (that includes all of the heads of each service), and other agencies to include the State Department, CIA and so on are not in the chain of command. Unless the Fiefdom is actively involved in military operations, they generally don’t have many actual forces assigned to them. Some do though as in the case of AFRICOM. AFRICOM had special forces people and equipment to include airplanes on alert in Sigonella, Italy to
Letter about cats killed To the Editor, To the heartless drivers: On the morning of Oct. 31 between the hour of 6:15-6:30 a.m. on Hwy County 44, between the Lime Springs turn and the Cherry Grove turn, my family lost two cats within five minutes of each other. My husband and I were having coffee on our porch. I had just let out Mama Cat (Muffins) to go to the bathroom, and her six-month-old daughter Princess ran out behind her. About five minutes later as a car was going by right in front of our house, we heard a terrible noise. I went out to see what had
happened. I found Princess lying on the edge of the road. Mind you there were no brake lights. As I was picking her up, crying, Muffins comes out to see what’s going on. I was standing holding her dead six-month-old Princess. As I watched in horror, our Mama Cat (Muffins), was run over. Again, no brake lights, no slowing down, no moving over to avoid us. So what was the driver doing not to see us? If I were over a few more inches I also would have been lying on the road. At the time, Muffins left

respond to contingencies such as the terrorist attack in Benghazi. Within minutes of the attack on Benghazi a “FLASH” message was sent out. These are the highest priority of all messages. The world comes to stop to deal with these once received. That would also include any other AORs besides AFRICOM and would be most pertinent to EUCOM who is the closest AOR that could actually help AFRICOM. Others would be standing by to assist if necessary. Insofar as it goes, Hillary Clinton was correct when she said she is responsible for embassy security. Her response however, in disagreeable effort to take the blame, is valid only for everyday operations. Moreover, actual security of our consulates and embassies is the responsibility of the host country. Given the chaotic situation in Libya, especially in Benghazi, host nation assistance would not be and was not reliable. Britain and other countries had previously closed their diplomatic missions there because they thought the situation too dangerous. But what is really atrocious is that the US had military forces, behind seven five-month-old babies. So I guess I should be thankful I wasn’t run down also. To leave my children without their mom. Muffins and Princess were buried together. As my daughter with Down Syndrome says, “They’re with Jesus!” To the drivers: SHAME ON YOU! If you are interested in giving a kitten a home, call Diane at 507937-3418. They are litter box trained and would have to be an indoor cat. Diane Gehrking Preston, MN
as I have said, on alert in Sigonella on Sicily. Their role was and is to respond to a crisis in the AFRICOM AOR. They are required to respond in minutes. That means that they could have been in Benghazi in an hour or so. AC-130s gunships could have isolated that compound and killed any enemy combatants within hundreds of yards. Moreover, we have F-16s in Italy proper who could have been providing air cover for any other possible threats. Since this assault went on for something on the order of six hours, there is no reason whatsoever that our military could not have saved the lives of Americans at that compound. This event was a dereliction of duty that is as extreme as any that have occurred in my life time. What all of this means is that one of only three people could have prevented a military response to rescue Americans in Benghazi. The AFRICOM commander, the Secretary of Defense, or the President. The idea that the Pentagon, that is not in the chain of command, didn’t have enough information to respond is as bogus as Bill Clinton’s fidelity to Hillary. The four-star commander could have stopped any oper-

ational response himself. The problem with that idea is that he could not make that decision independently, and if he did that in contravention to the National Command Authority (NCA - that is the president and secretary of defense), he would be charged with failure to follow direct orders. He would be subject to court-martial. He would have already been relieved of command. This scenario is highly improbable. The next guy in that sequence is Panetta. Had he stopped a military response that contravened Obama’s orders, then he should have been forced to resign immediately or he would have been fired. This is also very unlikely. That leaves Obama as the only possible person who could have prevented the military from stopping the murder of American citizens. He personally owns this. Totally. That is what we see at the top of our “food chain” and we are furious. By we I mean those of who are or were in the military. Many in the State Department are none too happy either. Most of us had always assumed that we could always trust our leaders to do what is right, within the bounds of our human limitations of course, but this is in a category of malevolent behavior we cannot understand nor fathom. I hope that this finds that the American people have “courtmartialed” Obama at ballot box for, among other things, this incredible dereliction of duty.

Lanesboro City Council hears library report By Jade Sexton Tara Johnson and David Hennesey spoke to the Lanesboro City Council at their regular meeting on November 5 and gave their quarterly report about the public library. Johnson said this summer there were 21 programs at the library, including story time, performers, and walk-abouts. There were 623 kids that attended those programs, and 50 that participated in reading programs. Johnson thanked the city for the new sign outside the community center directing people to the library, as it has been very helpful. Krista Flaig, an art teacher at Lanesboro Schools, spoke about the mural that she would be having some art students paint this winter in the library. She described it as a “splash of color” with words and pictures. Hennesey spoke and said he was very pleased with the direction the library is going this year. “As of September 30, our circulation was 21,611, which is better
than the entire circulation of 2010, and 2011,” said Hennesey. Hennesey also talked about the 380 volunteer hours that have been put in over the year, and more hours for reading and other things. Council member Ceil Allen thanked them for all of their hard work at the library, and Hennessey thanked the city for all of their support. Lodging Tax Ordinance City Attorney Tom Manion spoke to the council about the current lodging tax ordinance, and how it may need revamping. They have had the lodging tax ordinance in place for a long time, but there has been no real clear way to enforce it. Manion said there’s an integrity component, and they want to be reassured they are doing their job enforcing this. He said they could check with other cities that have a similar ordinance and see how they manage it. The council authorized City

Administrator Bobbie Vickerman and Manion to look over the ordinance for accuracy and compliance. Lanesboro Museum Sandy Webb from the Lanesboro Museum was at the meeting to talk about how the museum has been doing, and to thank the city for their support. She said she has received a lot of compliments about the museum and what they have displayed there, and that it shows a real sense of community. Turkey Bowling Parkway Pub owner Vince Jeannette requested and received permission to close two parking spots outside of the pub for the annual Turkey Bowling event on November 21. Jeannette said there is a new addition to the event this year, as Rhinos will be hosting Chicken Bowling for kids from 3:30-5:30. Turkey Bowling will take place from 5:30-10:30pm. Jeannette said this is the ninth year of the event, and they have raised $16,105 for senior classes at Lanesboro High School over the years. They are hoping to raise some money for the elementary school with the Chicken Bowling. Other Business The city offices will be closed on November 12, 22, and 23. The council gave Vickerman permission to pursue a Heritage Preservation Commission Fast Track grant. The council approved paying two employees for the comp time

COUNTY BOARD Continued from Page 1
May. Commissioner Randy Dahl noted that the jail is the last major county piece of infrastructure to be updated. He said he was not in favor of not having a jail. Dahl expressed a commitment to the Sentence to Serve Program. Jensen agreed without a jail the STS program would fall apart. Amunrud said they still will need staff whether they board inmates out or not. Commissioner Duane Bakke said it shouldn’t be eliminated completely, suggesting the options be discussed in the Jail Committee. Commissioner Marc Prestby said they should look back at some plans made about 12 years ago. Dahl said they need to do a remodel right ,with Prestby agreeing a band aid fix isn’t the answer. Bakke suggested they have a professional consultant look at the jail and their options and make recommendations. Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) The board approved the purchase of an EDMS system at a cost of $129,660 of which 47 percent of that total will be reimbursed by the federal government, leaving the cost to the
Monday, November 12, 2012
county at about $65,000. The system has been up and running in Winona County since July. The system allows staff to make much more efficient use of their time. It is estimated that community service staff spend up to 40 percent of their time filling in information on forms and shuffling paper. Once a client is in the system, a click can bring up information and fill in details on a form. This will allow staff to free up time and better serve the people. Community Services Administrator Beth Wilms, who is shared with Winona County, said sharing expenses can lower the cost of getting the system. Mark Anderson, IT director for Winona County, listed the advantages including never losing documents or files and moving forward faster at a lower cost. Social Services Manager Gail Bunge said when someone moves they have to send files by certified mail which is expensive. The system will allow files to be transferred electronically with just a click. Wilms stated they will look at opportunities to share staff between counties. The EDMS system will make it easier to share information. The system may allow a reduction in

staff or at least not an increase in staff due to a significant increase in the volume of case loads. Wilms said it will take a couple of months to get up and running as paper files need to be scanned into the system. The purchase of the system was approved, recognizing the 47 percent federal reimbursement and ongoing maintenance costs that will be associated with the system. Other Business in Brief •The board approved a quote from White Water Wireless for $98,655.79 to replace Fillmore County VHF repeaters and tower base stations. This is necessary to meet the narrowband mandate for January 1, 2013. Jensen noted there are only 55 days left before the mandate kicks in. This will replace all necessary infrastructure equipment needed to be narrowband compliant. Jensen added, “We waited as long as we could.” A good deal of the equipment has been purchased with grant funds. Waiting for grants has saved the county considerable money. Chairman Tom Kaase maintained, “Many counties wish they had taken our path.” Other quotes were approved for Motorola 800 MHz “consolettes” for dispatch and a combiner to put them on one antenna on the 80 foot tower by the jail. These will be paid for with Local Enhancement Grant and 911 funds. •Forfeiture funds will pay for 26 new Glock pistols. Seventeen pistols will be traded in, which are 13 years old. •A resolution to remove Whalan from Section 606.01 of the zoning ordinance was approved. Bakke said zoning administrator Chris Graves did a good job of doing what the board asked of him, which was to get all the cities to establish their own zoning ordinances. Whalan was the last one to do so.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende On some level, it’s probably not fair. It is not fair Section 1 is loaded with extra-good volleyball teams in Classes A and AA. Talented and dedicated squads just waylay each other before (and sometimes well before) the state tournament. In Class A, Faribault B.A. (21-7) finished the year ranked #1, WabashaKellogg (29-2) finished the year ranked #2, and Mabel-Canton (31-5) finished the year ranked #7. Fillmore Central was just outside the top 10. In Class AA, KassonMantorville (#2, 27-2), Stewartville (#3, 24-5), andCaledonia (#8, 23-6) all spent the entire season in the top eleven. And thus, when high-quality Fillmore County volleyball teams Mabel-Canton and Chatfield advanced to their respective Sub-Section finals, they ran into, what could only be called, higher-quality, even exceptionalquality, opponents. Cavalco’s Cavalry The Mabel-Canton Cougars, based off state rankings, were technically the lesser underdog versus W-K. That didn’t stop the Falcons, led by senior outside hitter Katie Cavalco, from taking out M-C without much of a fuss. All told, the Cougars held four leads (1-0, 2-0, and 2-1 in game #2; 1-0 in game #3). The Falcons won game #1 25-12. M-C put up more of a battle in game #2. After trailing 20-12, the Cougars got as close
as 23-20 (on the back of a 4-0 run), only to fall 25-20. The W-K Falcons then didn’t misstep where their Fillmore Central co-monikers did in the Sub-Section semifinals. Wabasha finished off M-C 25-17 for the three-game sweep. M-C couldn’t get much of an offense going. Wabasha-Kellogg’s attack was balanced and precise (despite M-C trying to upset it with short serves). The Falcon defense certainly wasn’t giving any points away either. Lydia Geving led M-C with 7 kills. She also had 12 digs. Belle Sand had 6 kills and 8 digs. Christine Lee and Danielle Paul were on the defensive a lot, leading M-C with 17 and 13 digs respectively. Carly McCabe had 18 assists and 3 kills. Super-senior Katie Cavalco (15 kills, 18 digs, 3 aces) led W-K’s many-angled attack. She got help from fellow seniors Kenzie Freihammer (8 kills, 18 digs), Kalyn Biever (38 assists, 15 digs), and Lexi Vaplon (20 digs), plus junior Ellen Vanwey (8 kills, 4 aces). M-C finishes another successful season with 31 win and 6 losses. They’ll graduate key players Christy Welscher (OH), Kristina Mengis (RH), and Danielle Paul (DS). Welscher and Mengis were two of six Cougars who amassed over 100 kills this season, a very rare volleyball feat. The junior core of the 2012 team, Sand, McCabe,
Attention all youth ages 11-16 It’s that time of year again to start thinking of our snowmobile safety class. This year again will be based on a CD put out by the state and DNR.

Geving, Lee, plus 6’0” learning-asshe-goes OH Sara Lind, will return next year. The M-C volleyball beat will drum on. W-K’s drumbeat, one Falcon fans probably wanted to see thump at state, won’t. The Falcons-North were downed 3-0 (25-17, 25-19, 25-21) by #1 Faribault Bethlehem Academy in Section 1A’s final. Langed and Fruechted Again! The Chatfield Gophers volleyball team was probably a bigger underdog on paper in their Sub-Section 1AA East final. They entered unranked versus a 7thranked opponent, a very familiar 7th ranked opponent. Again, Chatfield squared off against Caledonia for the 1AA East crown. Again the Warriors, led by the insane duo of 6’3” Emma Lange and 5’11” ‘hang-time’ Maria Fruechte, were just too much. It wasn’t without a fight though. Caledonia took command of game #1 very early, 10-3. They led 19-12 only for the Chatfield to close the score to 23-20. The Warriors got the last two points to take the first set 25-20. In game #2, Chatfield got an early lead (6-3), led in the middle of the set (16-13) only for the Warriors to go on a run and lead 23-19. The Gophers then rallied with four unanswered points to pull even at 23. A Lange kill and then a Fruechte block ended it though. Caledonia took game #2 25-23. Game #3 was similarly competitive up to a 17-all tie. The Warriors then officially closed the door on Chatfield’s season by scoring 7 of the final 9 points to win 25-19. Overall, Chatfield blocked at the net well, and defended out of the back row well. They just couldn’t muster the kind of instant attacking offense Caledonia could. They had no answer for the collegebound duo of Lange (21 kills, 14 digs, 3 blocks, 2 aces) and Fruechte (17 kills, 15 digs, 3 blocks), plus setter Taylor Winjim (39 assists). Brook Irish led Chatfield with 6 kills. Haley Kohlmeyer had 5 kills and 3.5 blocks. Maddy Kammer and MaKenzie Miller each had 4 kills and 3 blocks. Alex Duxbury (20 digs) and Kirsten Keefe (17 digs) were busy staving off attacks (all stats semi-official). The Gopher’s solid season ends at 21-10. They’ll lose a trio of seniors (Miller, Kohlmeyer, and co-setter Kileigh Dudek) who contributed heavily. However, in Duxbury and co-setter Gabrielle Salisbury (juniors), the sophomore foursome of Kammer, Irish, Keefe, and Maddie Talamantes, plus freshmen Sheridan Salisbury, the Gophers have a nice young group heading forward. Maybe the future will hold a break-through win for the Goph’s like it did for Caledonia. The Warriors, losers of the past five Section 1AA title games, finally came up victorious. They took down the 3rd ranked Kasson-Mantorville Komets 3-1 (25-20, 25-13, 24-26, 25-20), earning a hard-fought, well-deserved trip to state. No Doubt Left The first time #10 (in AA)
Chatfield (9-1) met #1 Caledonia (10-0), the Warriors won 6-0. It wasn’t a convincing victory. Chatfield had more total yards. They had a couple scoring opportunities that resulted in nada. The game’s verdict was essentially sealed by the field position game. After stopping Caledonia deep in Gopher territory, Chatfield went 3-and-out, their punt was partially blocked, and the Warriors took advantage of the short field notching the game’s only score. Other than that, the contest was a defensive dogfight of what looked to be two evenly matched teams. Wow how things changed in just a month. The second meeting, for the Section 1AA championship, wasn’t two evenly matched teams. Numbers don’t tell everything all the time, but in this game, what they said was crystal clear. The Chatfield Gophers had exactly one yard of total offense at halftime. Worse, they only were plus-yards because of a forward-fumble, which netted three ‘team’-rushing rushing yards. The Goph’s most fruitful offensive play: a 15-yard unsportsman-
like conduct penalty on Caledonia coach Brent Schroeder. It wasn’t good. Caledonia, meanwhile, whose offense was mostly thwarted by Chatfield’s defense in the regular season contest, was improved, vastly improved, a scary thought for a team that’s been ranked #1 all season. The Gopher ‘D’ did its job well in the 1st quarter, but then Caledonia starting churning out moderate runs. They got on the board early in the 2nd quarter via a Brad Strub 3-yard run. A series later, it was more Warrior groundand-pound, with Ryan Pitts doing the final honors from 11-yards out. Chatfield’s next series then resulted in more Warrior points, as Zach Kasten (who blocked the punt that doomed the Goph’s in October), blocked another Nate Skare boot. It went through the end zone, resulting in a safety. At the half, Caledonia led 15-0. In the 2nd half, Chatfield got desperate. They went for it on 4th and 1 from there own 29 midway through the 3rd quarter. The Warriors stopped the run, tacked on See SPORTS Page 10
Up against it! The Chatfield Gophers ready to snap the ball from their own 1-yardline versus #1 Caledonia. It symbolized the game for Chatfield. They had a long way to go. They gained only 1-yard in the 1st half. They were ‘up against’ vaunted Caledonia and fell 29-0 in the Section 1AA title game. Photo by Paul Trende

another score four plays later, a Pitts 3-yard run. It took until the 4th quarter before Chatfield registered a 1st down (on a Skare to Jayme LaPlante 44-yard pass). It
was one of only two 1st downs the Goph’s registered total. Caledonia had 16. In the end, the two-time defending state champs looked like it, downing Chatfield 29-0, leaving no doubt. Pitts paced the Warriors, rushing for 138 yards and 3 TD’s on 24

carries. Strub had 17 carries for 81 yards and a TD, as Caledonia did most of their damage (305 yards total) on the ground (261 yards). The Goph’s, who frequently rushed for in-the-vicinity-of-300 yards (or more) throughout the season, tallied just 79 yards of total offense (25 rushing). Sixty-two of it came in the 4th quarter with Caledonia leading 29-0. They finish an excellent campaign (9-2) as Section 1AA runner-ups, only (no shame) losses coming to the (seemingly) destined-to-three-peat Warriors. With only 7 senior starters (Luke Isensee, Reid Danielson, and Justin Viss each both ways, Mark Neppl offensively), the Gopher’s will certainly be a factor in the 3-Rivers and their Section next year.

every bit a veteran of running, and running at the highest level. A five-time state participant with four Top-5 finishes, the 2012 meet at St. Olaf College in Northfield was effectively a cap to Woltz’s fabulous C-C career. It was her last (fall) run (she’ll have track in the spring). Kayla couldn’t live up to her past performances. In girl’s distance running, age (maturity) isn’t necessarily advantageous. But Woltz’s 10th place finish (14:59.8) is still nothing short of superb. It was an excellent way for the Gopher senior to go out. She is now a six-time state Cross Country participant, with four Top 5 finishes and five Top 10 finishes. Kayla’s section adversary, Emi Trost, and The Blake School’s Clare Flanagan, dueled for 1st place for the second straight year. Flanagan won out again, downing the Cannon Falls junior 14:04.1 to 14:16.5. Chatfield’s other state participant, sophomore Karen Gomez, finished 76th (of 175) in a time of 15:58.7.

A sophomore, 2012 marked the first year Richard ran Cross Country. It was a pretty good start to a career, a breakout year. Swanson began the season with a win at the Wabasha-Kellogg Gallop back in August and ended at his first state meet, doing so in grandiose fashion, finishing 11th (16:15.9). After being bested at the Section 1A meet a week earlier by Ian Torchia (Rochester-Lourdes), Pat Reinschmidt (PEM), and Matt Schupp (Winona-Cotter), Swanson got two-third’s redemption, finishing ahead of Reinschmidt (13th, 16:20.7) and Schrupp (18th, 16:30.3).

Spangler notes in her letter that she will continue her interest in Preston’s development and future and offers her assistance in community projects. There was some discussion about her replacement. Mayor Kurt Reicks suggested that an appointment to fill the rest of her term would be the least expensive way to go as opposed to a special election. A motion to request letters of application from the public to be received at city hall no later than Thursday November 29 was approved. Applicants will be invited to the December 4 meeting. •Hoffman reviewed Chapter 7 ordinance revisions relating to traffic, parking, and snowmobiles.

Attorney proposals can be either at an hourly rate or by an annual retainer or both. Hoffman noted that they have typically accepted an auditor proposal for a two-year period. •The canvassing board will meet November 9 to approve the general election vote totals from the city’s citizens.

AgStar announces Ag in the Classroom grant recipients Mankato, Minn., (November 6, 2012) – The AgStar Fund for Rural America, the corporate giving program of AgStar Financial Services, recently awarded $750 to Fillmore Central High School for advancement of equipment in their agriculture and industrial technology shop. “Fillmore Central Schools appreciates receiving the AgStar Fund for Rural America grant of $750 for our new welding machine at the Fillmore Central High School,” said Jenelle Thorman, Agriculture Instructor and FFA Advisor. “Our new welding machine will be used to allow students to advance their welding skills through hands-on training. The support of public education by a private agriculture business such as AgStar shows this company is dedicated to preparing students for successful careers in the agriculture industry.” AgStar presented the Fillmore Central Agriculture and Industrial Technology Department with their check on October 23 at 9:30 a.m. at the high school in Harmony. The mission of this program is to support rural areas in AgStar’s service area by funding equipment for high school agriculture classrooms. Every rural high school agriculture program in AgStar’s 69 county service area is eligible to apply for a grant for up to $2,500 if it has not received a grant in the last two years. “Offering this grant program
to ag classrooms is important to AgStar because we believe that education is the first step to helping students realize the vitality of agriculture in the world,” said John Monson, Chair of the AgStar Fund for Rural America. “Schools are especially strapped for funding in this area and we at AgStar want to help in every way possible to make sure the next generation is being educated about a topic so close to our hearts.” Since its inception in 2001, the AgStar Fund has donated in excess of $4 million to organizations working to improve the future of rural America. Support must align with the Fund’s mission of enhancing life in agriculture and rural America. About AgStar: AgStar Financial Services, ACA, headquartered in Mankato, Minn., employs more than 600 full-time team members. The company is part of the national Farm Credit System and has a public mission to serve 69 counties in Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

Journal Writing Project
Music is a world of understanding By Kirsten Ruen A trip of a lifetime—No, a one-time kind of deal—Or, how about, a life changing experience. Whatever you want to call it, it was all but a waste of time! This summer, my European tour of seven b e a u t i f u l Kirsten Ruen countries was the best thing that has ever happened to me, and rarely can I get it off my mind. A little over four months ago, I had no idea what it would be like to travel with 260 teenagers across Europe, how busy the streets of London actually are, or how much music can bring any group of people together to have a good time. I will tell you a little bit about the music program I went with, first, before I start telling you about all the good stuff! Min-
nesota Ambassadors of Music is a choir and band program where top music students from all around the state are nominated by directors from their high school. Nominated students then get the opportunity to perform in a seven-country European tour. With help from many amazing music staff, this program was led by Chip Williams and his wife, Joni Sutton. The choir was directed by Mr. Bill Krinke and Chip directed the band. A total of around 150 singers and 130 musicians had this opportunity of a lifetime. When I signed up for the trip, I was more interested in the sight-seeing and just the fact that I was going to be in Europe. But, during the tour, I realized how much more I appreciated music. I felt as if my love for music had blossomed into something beautiful. There was never a song we sang that didn’t give me goose bumps or a band piece that didn’t make me eager to play more. The feeling was so fulfilling. The crowd was definitely the best part of the concerts. Elderly ladies and gentlemen danced to French Festival, a band piece. Thunder-
ous applause filled basilicas after each song, like Wana Baraka, a choreographed choir song. The audience got into every song we performed, with smiles across their faces. Even occasional “whoops” and cheers from the crowd! It seemed to me that Europeans have a great admiration for this kind of music. Meeting new people was another thing I cherished about this trip. I went on this trip only having one person I knew, my best friend, Megan, also from LHS. Amazingly, it only took me a few days to know my fellow ambassadors as if I had grown up with them. It is so comforting to know that there are people out there who share the same interests as me. I could be myself around them, and that’s what I loved. Fifty new Facebook friends later, I am still keeping in contact with every lovely person I met on the trip. The last thing I realized while on the tour is that we all have something in common. No matter what country you’re from, what language you speak, or what religion you practice, we are all the same people. There is one thing that can bring us
together, music. Music is the language that we all can speak. It shows emotion and tells a story that words can’t. A whole new way of communication is through music. I am more than blessed to have had an opportunity like this, and not only did it spark a

Rep. Greg Davids receives Minnesota Ambulance Association Award (Spring Valley, MN) State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) was recently presented with the ambulance industry’s prestigious “Legacy Award” for his record of strong support for rural Emergency Medical Services policies at the Minnesota Legislature. Davids’ legislative record of bipartisan cooperation on maintaining a strong rural EMS system prompted the award. His commitment has resulted in successful enactment of creation of a network of tax exemptions for all ambulance providers in Minnesota. However, his advocacy
for programs primarily benefitting rural, volunteer ambulance providers has been crucial in maintaining rural EMS. He was also instrumental in the creation of an independent EMS regulatory authority as well as a first-in-the-nation recruitment/retention plan to help secure volunteer ambulance personnel in Minnesota. EMS spokesperson Buck McAlpin stated that “without the numerous tax considerations and volunteer personnel policies championed by Rep. Davids, the brittle network of rural, volunteer
ambulance providers in Minnesota would be in dire straits.” He continued, “although these exemptions represent a very small portion of the state budget, small amounts of money go a long way towards supporting our statewide volunteer ambulance operations which represent nearly 62 percent of all EMS personnel in Minnesota.” Davids was recognized in a formal ceremony in Spring Valley. During his comments on the award, he recounted how the Spring Valley Ambulance Service, through its professionalism and

Obituaries Marie E. Aakre Marie E. Aakre, 97, of Lanesboro died Friday, Nov. 2, 2012, at Green Lea Manor in Mabel. Marie was born July 8, 1915, in Peterson to A.O. and Anne Marie (Thompson) Boyum. She was the 10th of 13 children. Marie graduated from Lanesboro High School in 1933. She lived for 10 years in Peterson before moving to a Lanesboro to be close to her father’s local grain elevator. Marie, like her parents, were highly involved with their church, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, especially in music. Marie and her husband, Arnold, were 50-year members of the church choir. Arnold met Marie during her employment at the Hanson Drug Store in downtown Lanesboro. He was a native of northwestern Minnesota and moved to southeastern Minnesota, pioneering in the newly formed U.S. Soil Conservation Service in 1938. Arnold and Marie were married on Aug. 14, 1938, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church parsonage by Pastor P.J. Nestande. Born to this union were Mary Ellen, Elizabeth Ann, Stewart Arnold and Lowell James. After her children left home, Marie found new employment as a Lanesboro correspondent for the Preston Republican-Leader for nearly a decade. Marie’s creativity

expanded to her authorship of the C.C.C in Lanesboro, story found in Heartland Portrait, stories from the rural Midwest 2nd addition in 2009. Arnold was the former Mayor of Lanesboro. Marie is survived by her children, Mary E. (Freiheit) Treu of Lanesboro, Elizabeth A. (Walter) Hubener of Mesa Ariz., Stewart (Darlene) Aakre of Kingman, Ariz., and Lowell (Mary) Aakre of Nashville, Tenn.; 11 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one brother, Duane T. Boyum of Kasson; and one sister, Rhoda (Marvin) Vernelle of the metro area. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, five sisters and five brothers. The memorial service was held Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Lanesboro, with the Rev. Kerry Eversole officiating. JohnsonRiley Funeral Home in Lanesboro was in charge of arrangements. Ada Austin Ada Austin of Harmony, was born in Cresco, IA on December 7, 1938 and passed November 4, 2012. She is survived by Ada Austin the love of her life, her husband James, sons Scott Austin (Donna), Mike Austin (Denise), daughters,
Tori Kenney (Brian) and Konya Bloomquist, (Joseph); her beloved grandchildren, Michelle AustinWillard, (Jason), Connie Austin (fiancé Nick Clark), Jarod Austin, Janai Austin (fiancé Justin Buchanan), Brianna Kenney, Jordan Bloomquist, Finnegan Kenney and Aidan Bloomquist, Danette Kimball, Dustin (Lisa) Kimball, “DJ” Smith; and five greatgrandchildren, Genevieve, Abbie, Khloe, Jacob and Avery. Ada was the eldest daughter of Connie and Ruth (Hahn) Turnmire. Ada also leaves behind a successful business and a honeydo list that could make the entire Armed Forces weep. Ada was predeceased by her parents, sister Alvera; step-brothers Royal, Ronald and Curt Heim; Mother-in-law Allene (Terbeest) and Father-in-law Axel Bendickson; nephews BillyJoe Erickson and Charlie Foster; and grandson Mathew Kenney. Also parted before her were a myriad of family pets, some favorite pasture lovelies (goats) and an Arabian horse named Tarquin. What these critters lacked in intellect they made up with genuine adoration and devotion. Near the end of her life, Ada had brain surgery for a glioblastoma tumor, a very aggressive cancer. When Ada twisted her doctor’s arm for a guess of approximately how much time she’d get if she took treatments he replied, “a few months.” She touched his hand and blustered “What the hell!”
The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week. and looked to the family to support her decision not to take any treatments. As if she thought we would do anything else. In August, Ada and Jim celebrated 50 years together as husband and wife; a true team. Ada would say that this was their greatest accomplishment. Bedside vigil was fueled by lively conversation, and very little television. An occasional Viking football game, much to her chagrin, and her faithful k-9 companion “Chester T. Yorkshire”. To say the least, Ada was a challenging and exciting woman. Throughout her life she tried to make “no woman has held that job before” an antiquated phrase. She enjoyed breaking gender barriers in her jobs and didn’t mind doing traditional work as well; (not in any particular order) Deputy Sherriff and Dispatch, a novice accordion player, waitress, bartender, ambulance (EMT) crew, semi-truck driver, pub and grill owner, office/home cleaner. (FYI: she taught us more than any boot camp training could on how to “square a place away.” If you didn’t know, Ada had some powerful lungs she used for instruction, leaving her children un-phased by any drill instructors’ “encouragement” throughout their boot camp stint.) Harmony School swimming and sports bus driver, wallpaper hanger-upper, and she painted walls. She was a respite care provider, nursing assistant, and chauffer. Ada loved
and raised Arabian show horses, Shar-Pei & Great Pyrenees dogs. Finally she truly found her niche raising Angora goats, Babydoll sheep, Silky and Fainting goats, and helping to breed the Navajo Churro sheep back from near extinction. As owner’s of Austin’s Mohair and Gifts, tourism in Bluff Country of Minnesota and around the world soon knew who the Old Goat Woman in purple was and where to buy those world-famous Mohair socks. When asked how she felt about this being her last year as the “Old Goat Woman,” she would get teary eyed and say, “It’s been fun.” Thank you to all of her customers, crafters “artists,” and those in the Tour Guide business for making it happen. You may notice that the farm is no longer the color purple; rather, earth tones now replace the vibrant hue, something Ada was content to see completed the last week before her passing. Ada also found time to reach out to others in the trying times of their lives. She instinctively knew what each needed. Whether it was to give them a lift up, make them know she felt that they mattered, put them at ease, give them a job, or just to “cuff ‘em,” a classic Turnmire gesture. Whatever it took to get them back up and moving on with their lives. Lessons Ada enjoyed teaching were “family are everything so stick together; get an education See OBITUARIES Page 22

BETHLEHEM LUTHERAN CHURCH Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Bethlehem Lutheran Church has stood as prominent landmark on the bluff overlooking downtown Lanesboro for as long as the town has existed. The congregation continues to be a vibrant part of the community today. The church building is actually older than the congregation. A Presbyterian fellowship built the church out of native limestone in 1868, one year before Lanesboro was incorporated. Bethlehem congregation was established in 1874 and purchased the building from the Presbyterians in 1889. Now in its 138th year of ministry, Bethlehem has 580 baptized members. The life of the congregation is centered in weekly worship which is enhanced by an adult choir, Sunday school choir, and a praise band. Eighty children, preschool through high school, participate in Sunday school, confirmation, and other learning opportunities. The Christian Education Team partners with Good Earth Village Bible Camp to provide a community-wide day camp each summer attended by over 60 children. The Lutheran Youth Organization meets monthly for a variety of recreational, learning and service activities. Bethlehem has an active women’s group which coordinates monthly Bible studies, a quilting ministry and a knitting ministry. The WELCA uses the money raised by its annual fundraisers to support the Lanesboro community youth mission trip, the Preston food shelf, the Red Cross, Lutheran Social Service, and several other charitable organizations, as well as to provide Bible camperships. Bethlehem welcomes the community to its worship, education and fellowship events. It is also proud to provide meeting space for Lanesboro girl scouts, cub scouts, 4-H, and Alcoholics Anonymous. The congregation’s mission/vision statement says, “We believe that we have been called, gathered, enlightened, and made holy by the Spirit of God. We worship, grow in faith, serve and reach out to all people, proclaiming: Jesus Christ is our hope – yesterday and today and forever.” We invite you to come and share your gifts in God’s work in “the heart of Bluff County” …Historic Lanesboro!

The Copper Street Brass Quintet, from Minneapolis, MN performed part of their "Evolution in Concert" series for students at the Fillmore Central Elementary School this past October 16th. The group demonstrated the various brass instruments, their role in a quintet, and performed music specifically arranged for their group. The artist in residence series was made possible through a grant through the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council.
Mrs. Niemeyer’s first graders figured out just how many seeds are in a pumpkin! Thank you to the parent volunteers who helped us with this fun math activity!
Fillmore Central Scholar Club
The Falcon Scholar Club was formed to recognize academic excellence. The criteria to become a club member is to maintain a 3. 5 grade point average or higher with all grades being a “C” or better for the previous school year. Therefore, only 10-12 th graders are able to be members. A student must also be enrolled as a full time Fillmore Central High School student. The Falcon Scholar Club Program will take place Monday, November 19th at 9:10 a.m. in the high school gymnasium. In case of a snow day, the program will be held on Nov. 20th at 9:10 a.m. Please note that this date has changed from the school calendar. This year’s guest speaker will be Emily Torgrimson. Emily is the founder of Eat for Equity, a non-profit organization which hosts monthly benefit dinners for a variety of charitable causes. Emily is a 2002 graduate of Fillmore Central High School. The public is welcome to attend.
Each year Fillmore Central First Graders participate in a Book In The Bag program. After students read 100 books at their level, students read to Dean of Students, Mr. Mensink, and are presented with a new dictionary. Shown here is Tori Raaen who recently met the goal of 100 books.
Big Shoe Award This award is given to the K-2 class that accumulates the most checkmarks during sneaker check at the end of each month. Checkmarks are received each day a student wears proper shoes for physical education class. The BIG SHOE AWARD is displayed in the winning classroom for that month. Congratulations AGAIN to Mr. Siebenaler’s classroom. They are the winner of the BIG SHOE AWARD for the month of October. GREAT JOB!
Congratulations and great job Tori!

This test recognizes students for their level of physical fitness in five activities: Curl-ups, Shuttle Run, 1 Mile Run/Walk Pull-ups or Flexed-Arm Hang, Sit and Reach.

This marks the second straight month that Mrs. Brown Ferden’s class takes home this award. The trophy is on display in their classroom for the rest of the month. WAY TO GO!!! Each student was to fill in what activity they did each day and then at the end of the month students were to turn in their calendar. Mrs. Brown Ferden’s class had the best class participation of all classes, 3rd-6th grade.
7th Grade Eagle Bluff Field Trip
The 7th graders from Fillmore Central took a field trip to the Eagle Bluff Learning Center, where they spent three days and two nights exploring our environment and building teamwork skills.

achievers who already have their 2012 gifts wrapped and tagged and hidden in a secret closet, I am addressing this column to those who are waiting for the proper time, after Thanksgiving, to start identifying the perfect, affordable gift for each person on your list. This year, I suggest you try to find something wonderful, appropriate and locally produced or sold for at least some of those on your gift list. Buying local can be more pleasant with no long drives to crowded malls, and more fun as you run into neighbors and friends as you shop. Even more important and rewarding is that you will play a role in shaping the vitality and economic health of your
Holiday Shopping to Vote for Community You’re going to shop for presents, so why not support our local economy and buy locally? We’ve all just been through a rigorous election where carrying out our personal civic opportunity to vote makes us feel like we had our say in our nation’s future. Think about how your holiday shopping can provide an opportunity to vote for the vitality of your community. I’m usually the type of person who enjoys each holiday in full before moving on to the next. I don’t even think about Christmas shopping until after Thanksgiving. Yet I know I am in the minority on this, especially among women. While it may be too late for some over-

region. Think about where we spend our money. Dollars spent locally put a small profit in the pocket of the local producer and retailer. Those neighbors then support their families and spend some of their dollars locally. That recirculates the economic benefits, which eventually come around to all of us living in a place where farms, businesses, schools and towns are thriving. When we spend money at big box stores, the money flows out to the corporation, and most products are imported at the lowest price with starvation wages for those workers. Better to keep some of our money recirculating around town. One study in Maine found, “Every $100 spent at locally owned businesses contributes an additional $58 to the local economy. By comparison, $100 spent at a representative national chain store yields just $33 in local economic impact.” The Lanesboro Local Marketplace, for example, let’s you choose from a whole store of locally made gifts from Fillmore and Houston Counties and neighboring areas. Located across the street from the theaters on main street, the Marketplace is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10-5 PM through the winter. The staff is happy to help put together a gift basket or box of related treats. Many of us of a certain age no longer want more “stuff.” We love consumable presents. How about one of these Minnesota food combos?

Perhaps without meaning she also taught us not to put off ‘til tomorrow what we should do today. The family of Ada and Jim would like to take this time to thank all of the friends and extended family around the world for praying for her, for the cards and food, gifts and well wishes and countless hours spent near her. Her world was richer for having you in it. Thank you all for the Anniversary cards that you sent in celebration of their time together.

Cancers have taken many of the people Ada loved; not just her own life so Ada donated her body to the University of Minnesota. She sincerely hoped that their research would lead to a cure for glioblastoma, helping the next generation. The family would also like to thank Mayo Hospice and their dedication to making Ada’s life as comfortable as possible. You were a Godsend to Ada and her family, and all others you are assisting.

She suffered an apparent heartattack MonDiane day morning Torgerson at her beloved
church in Greenleafton, Minn. Having Pastor Roger by her side at the time of her death, in the church she loved so much, is a great comfort to her family.

She lived in the Harmony/ Canton area all of her life. On December 14, 1968, she married Larry Torgerson. Together they had three children. They were later divorced. Getting together with family and friends was a huge part of her life. She loved cooking and baking many good foods to share with all the special people in her life. She was such a caring, thoughtful person who did so much for so many people. Diane had many trials and tribulations to deal with during her earthly life, but her love of God and family gave her great peace in knowing someday she would go home to see all those who have gone before her and walk with the Lord. Diane built her career on helping and caring for others. She was employed by Sunshine Place (Maple Leaf Services) for 20 plus years. She owned and operated Ed & Aggie’s Restaurant, was a CNA/TMA at Harmony Healthcare and Heritage Grove for five years, and most recently the Custodian at the Greenleafton Church.

PBS to air ‘Dust Bowl’ documentary Preston, Minn - When you hear “dust bowl,” iconic images likely pop into your head: black clouds over the prairie, dead cattle scattered across the range and tractors buried in the field. Those images are easy to remember, but the circumstances are easily forgotten. Ken Burns’ new documentary, The Dust Bowl, set to air on PBS on Nov. 18, examines the worst man–made ecological disaster in American history, documenting its causes, impact, and lessons,
as well as the personal stories of survival and human endurance. The documentary chronicles the frenzied wheat boom of the “Great Plow-Up,” followed by a decade-long drought during the 1930s, which nearly swept away the breadbasket of the nation. Vivid interviews, dramatic photographs and seldom seen movie footage, bring to life stories of incredible human suffering and equally incredible human perseverance.
Humans rely on soil to sustain life through production of food, fuel, and fiber. Yet soils are a natural resource still often misunderstood. Soil quality, often called soil health, is the capacity to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water quality, and support human health and habitation. The 1930s dust bowl sparked creation of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and local Soil and Water Conserva-
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
tion Districts (SWCDs). “The lessons learned from the dust bowl are as relevant today as they were in the 1930s,” Leonard Leutink Jr., SWCD Board Chair said. “We can build a stronger future for southeast Minnesota by better understanding our relationship to the soil resource that sustains us.” Learn more about conservation projects that work to protect soil health by visiting www.fillmoreswcd.org or www.bwsr.state. mn.us/cleanwaterfund/stories. For more information about the documentary, visit www. pbs.org/kenburns/dustbowl.
