What Veterans Day means to veterans By Barb Jeffers barb@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Veterans Day may conjure up images of the flag of the United States of America blowing in the wind, courageous soldiers in their uniforms, and the faces of those we have lost. It should also make every citizen feel a sense of pride and remembrance. But what does Veterans Day mean to Veterans? Veterans Day must take on an entirely different meaning for those who have served in any branch of the armed services for our country. The following soldiers were gracious enough to share with us their thoughts and feelings about Veterans Day. Adam Knoepke Adam Knoepke, originally from Preston, Minn., served

Preston Overlook good for another 75 years By K aren R eisner kreisner@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The historic Preston Overlook has undergone a thorough makeover. Over the last three months, 75 years of time and weather has been erased. The Preston Overlook was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It is a 1.8 acre property and serves as a wayside rest and a scenic overlook. If you look carefully at a picture that was taken shortly after it was originally constructed in 1937-1938 and compare it with a picture after reconstruction, you will see the most obvious difference. The young Oak tree centrally located on the flag-

stone walk was there when it was first constructed and stands tall, strong, 75 years older and much more majestic today. The beginnings of the restoration of the overlook began several years ago with the effort to raise the funds to do the restoration. Kathryn McFadden is a licensed landscape architect and the Historic Properties Program manager with MnDot. Her office, with the help of the historic scenic highway group, successfully applied for a federal Scenic Byways grant. The Preston project was one of five projects that benefited when the Minnesota Scenic Byways Program received more than $2.3 million through the Fed-

eral Highway Administration. The amount awarded for the Preston project was $787,516. MnDot’s District 6 is to provide 20 percent matching funds. The final number as to the actual cost has not been tallied at this point. McFadden was quoted in MnDot Newsline after the Scenic Byways grant was awarded saying, “Historic properties can easily be lost if not properly restored. We could never build this site again. Now it’s going to be saved.” She was referring to the Preston Overlook restoration. The restoration began in See OVERLOOK Page 8 

When asked what Veterans Day means to him Adam answered, “It is a remembrance of everyone who serves,” and, “To think about their families, past and present, who have someone serving.” Veterans Day means to recognize the “freedoms we enjoy here,” Adam stated. He then added, “It makes you appreciate where you live.” Jake Fournier Jake Fournier, of Lanesboro, Minn., enlisted in the United States Marines at the age of 17. At the age of 18 he began life as a soldier. While in Afghanistan Jake’s primary job was as a Mortar man in the Infantry. At the age of 24, Jake has risen to the rank of Corporal. Jake is

C ommentary Thoughts about tomorrow’s election By Yvonne Nyenhuis The election has been upstaged by “Sandy.” The devastation reminds us that there is a power greater than ours, and that we have limited control of our destiny. For those who have lost their homes to wind, fire Yvonne and flood, Nyenhuis voting must seem inconsequential. Yet, elections matter. If Al Gore had won in 2001 we would not have invaded Iraq. Tomorrow, the curtain will be pulled back revealing what our fate will be for the next four years. Either the sure footed donkey will continue to lead or after a two year painful gestation an elephant will be born. (As

close as this election purports to be we might end up with John Boehner as President.) While Mitt Romney has been free to campaign the last two years, president Obama has had his “day job,” dealing twentyfour-seven, with the burden imposed by turbulence abroad and a struggling economy at home, as well as the rigors of campaigning. It appears that there are two Mitt Romneys. There is one who is a loving husband and father, and a leader in his church, who gives ten percent of his income to charity. The other Mitt Romney, the one we need to question, made his wealth by closing factories and sending them to China. His idea of creating a climate for business in this country is to destroy the unions and OSHA and have Americans working twelve hour

Taxes are boring, but real By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal & Olmsted County Journal Cell: 507-251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com I hear it all the time. People complain about taxes, but yet never really know where there money is going. People don’t like talking about taxes. It’s right up their with politics Jason Sethre and religion, and sometimes even involves those two dynamics. Thankfully, we have accountants, right?! For those of us who can stand Editorial Cartoon

to turn the other cheek, this ones for you. Today, all of the Journal readers in Fillmore County get a chance to see how our tax dollars are spent. The Fillmore County government publishes an annual financial statement each year with information from the previous year. This audit helps all of us understand the big picture down to the penny. City, county, state and federal governments are required to adhere to various levels of transparency. Our Democracy demands transparency, and this document is a product of that. What’s interesting to me is that there is a website www. tax-rate.org. Specifically, if you

days at a dollar and hour. My husband and I raised our three boys to participate in sports. We saw sports as a metaphor for life. There are rules, oversight to see the rules are followed and penalties imposed when rules are broken. What we find is that when it comes to Wall Street, Corporations and Special interests, there are no rules. There are those who live apart from the rest of us in a world of privilege, unfettered by rules and regulations. Mitt Romney belongs to this club. As I watch the conflagration that “Sandy” has wrought, I hear Romney’s voice promising to reduce funding for FEMA, referring to it as an “entitlement” program. On day one he will abolish Obamacare, “Poor people can go to emergency rooms if they are sick!” He will cut the number of public service visit http://www.tax-rates.org/ minnesota/property-tax, you can compare property taxes from all adjoining counties. Let’s compare our median propery taxes by county in our region. The Median Property Tax means that half of the homes in the county pay higher taxes, and half pay lower. First, Fillmore County boasts $1,217 as the median property tax. Comparatively speaking, Olmsted County is at $1,891. Mower County is at $948. Houston County is at $1,419. And, Winona County is at $1,502. There are a lot of variables involved in tax assessment, but ultimately it all boils down to sustaining government spending. And, there’s a plethora of other tax-related information on the website www.tax-rates.org. It’s perfect for those spreadsheet number junkies.

jobs, teachers, firemen, policemen, and nurses. If we increase these jobs, these people will buy houses, cars and require goods and services which will create an abundance of jobs in the private sector. With increased revenue we can start to pay off the deficit. If they are not employed they will seek unemployment insurance, and when that runs out they will live in cardboard boxes and eat at soup kitchens. Recently, a tape was run on television showing a rally for Women’s rights in the early seventies. There was Ann Romney smiling, and carrying a sign with big letters protesting ERA! The current Congress has resurrected the struggle for Women’s rights. Romney promises, if he has the opportunity, he will appoint a new judge (or judges) to the Supreme court and reverse Roe vs. Wade. Family planning, women remaining in control of their reproductive health is part of a vibrant economy. Rough-

ly half of the working force are women and have families depending on them for support. Romney wants to increase military spending. He appears to be a little too willing to invoke military action to solve problems abroad. He and his five sons have stayed out of military service, but he finds it agreeable for others to answer the call to fight. His performance on the campaign trail has been astonishing. He changes his message according to his audience. He has been described as a “wet noodle,” a chameleon, and a weather vane which changes direction with the wind. Whatever the results of the election, many Americans will be unhappy. We’ll need to regroup. Try to find the will “to love our neighbors,” and to pursue truth and justice.

For those of you who are actively curious about government spending, take a look at the 2011 Financial Statement published in today’s Journal. I think everyone will agree that more informed citizens make better decisions -- together. And, when in doubt, ask questions. Go to meetings. Make your own assessments and voice your concerns. Heck, maybe you’ll even want to run for office. I don’t believe it is a glorious job to serve the public, but a very necessary one. With that said, don’t forget to vote on Tuesday.

C ommentary Just Vote

By Eric Leitzen Well, that title should prove frightening enough to fill the qualifications for Halloween. By now you’re probably expecting me to launch into some sort of rant and rave about this Eric Leitzen candidate or that policy or who’s a socialist or who’s a traitor and other such hyper-partisan hogwash that has poleaxed this country in regards to pulling out of this current depression. I’ll go right ahead and say that both sides are blamable, both sides have problems, and it’s only by working together that we will see lasting change and improvement. There, now that that is out of the way, I only want to say this: Just Vote. And no, that’s not a Lady Gaga reference. Every time an election comes around, whether it’s for local dog catcher or President of these United States, I am flabbergasted by the amount of people who simply don’t vote. Whether it’s apathy, or frustration, or some sort of misguided political statement, the only answer is that you are forfeit-

ing one of the most wonderful rights this democracy has given us since day one. In a former life, I wanted to be a History teacher. Allow me, then, to take you on a short journey back to the tail end of the 18th century, when a bunch of farmers and tinsmiths decided they didn’t like the way they were being treated by a colonial master, so they did something about it. The amazing thing is: they won. Democracy found a new birth in the world, its first appearance since the centuries before Christ. I know we take it all for granted, having had generation after generation living in America, but I cannot stress enough how radical and earth-shaking it was for a country to shake off the colonial yoke and try to govern itself without a king, without an emperor and, in fact, in direct opposition to such rules. Needless to say, shockwaves were felt all over Europe. What followed was nothing less than an Arab Spring in the era of breeches and hose: France rebelled, Haiti rebelled, Ireland rebelled (again), even China had a tax-based uprising of its own against the Qing Dynasty. It would be arrogant to assume that America was the first country ever to rebel against oppressors, but it is indisputable historical fact that we were the first to succeed

against our colonial overlords and that our example paved the way for what is now free and democratic societies the world over. In July of 1917, American troops came ashore in France, stopping at the tomb of the Marquis de Lafayette, one of the biggest supporters of the American Revolution. Their task was to deliver a simple message: “Lafayette, We Are Here.” Over the next two years, 117,465 Americans would die defending Democracy against the Kaiser in the First World War. Now, nearly one hundred years later, please do them the courtesy of exercising your right and privilege, and cast a vote. Don’t let someone tell you who to vote for, don’t vote with your heart or your gut or your eyes or ears or even your gall bladder. Vote with your mind: look at the issues, suss it all out for you and for nobody else, and cast your vote. I’m not saying you have to vote for someone or something. Take a look at Jill Stein, or Virgil Goode, or any other of the third party candidates. Heck, you can write something in if you want: a vote for “Twilight Sparkle” is still a vote. A vote is never wasted: at its most important, it can shape the world, and at its least, it can stand for something. No, your vote may not be seen as “important” by the talking heads and the pundits and the cynics, but since when did we

give credence to their stale words? Your vote should mean something to you, whether it stands in support, defiance, or abject discombobulation. If you want me to tell you who to vote for, or why, we can meet somewhere and have a coffee; but I’m not a political commentator, so it won’t be here. All I will say in my little corner of the world is that you should vote,

and I wish you would, no matter who it is for. So many have fought and died for your right to vote, and so many live crushed under bootheels wishing that they could do so. Surely it’s worth a little bit of your time to speak out, even if it’s only for your own peace of mind. In times like these, peace of mind is the best reason to do anything.

C ommentary Civil Discourse and the Clash of Ideas By Lee Hamilton The election of 2012 has called attention to how difficult it is for Americans to talk reasonably with one another about public policy challenges. Our civic dialogue — how we sort through issues and reason with one another — is too often lamentable. We live in a politically divided country. Congress, which ought to serve as the Lee H. forum where Hamilton politicians of diverse views find common ground, is instead riven by ideological disagreements. There’s no real discourse,

just the two parties hammering at each other in a mean-spirited, strident tone. Small wonder the public holds Congress in such low esteem. It seems impossible to change, but it’s not. Ordinary citizens— you and I—have it in our power to put our political dialogue back on track. The first step is to understand that in a politically and socially diverse country, with two houses of Congress and a president required to pass legislation, compromise isn’t a luxury. It is almost always a necessity. Too few politicians seem to grasp this. So if we want things to improve, if we don’t like intense partisanship and political gameplaying, then we must choose officials with an instinct for col-

laboration. And we, as their constituents, have to give them room to craft legislation with broad appeal. The budget, taxes, entitlements, education, immigration — on all these issues there is room for each side to accommodate the other. But to make progress on these matters, it will take political leadership of the highest order: leaders who are fair, open-minded, and committed above all else to bringing people together through discussion, debate and compromise. Let me be clear: We should expect disagreement in our politics. Vigorous debate has been a constant in American history, and let’s hope it always will be. Controversy and argument are natural parts of a working democracy. Our Founders understood this, as a way for multiple views to be aired and possible solutions weighed. Competition for power lies at the heart of our system, and an intense struggle for votes that is marked by the clash of ideas should be encouraged, not feared. But healthy debate requires other ingredients, too: Respect for one’s adversary. Tolerance of different beliefs and perspectives. Graciousness. A fundamental respect for facts. The humility to

recognize that we might be wrong and the integrity to admit it. When the next political attack ad appears on your television screen, keep these virtues in mind. Because if we don’t like the tone of our politics, you and I are the only ones who can change it. We must make it clear to officeseekers and to our political friends that we do not like inflammatory name-calling or constant attacks on an opponent’s motivation. Let it be known we are tired of excessive partisanship — that we want a genuine dialogue that searches for common ground and solutions. Knowing how to disagree without obstructing progress should be a bedrock skill for officeholders. They must know how to state their case cogently, in a manner that is substantive and factual, and does not attack the motivation or patriotism of those with whom they disagree. The more this kind of behavior becomes the norm, the better our political system will work and the stronger our nation will be. Because the reverse is true, too: a politics that consists of debasing, demeaning, or attempting to silence the people with whom we disagree is a warning sign of an ailing democracy.

AgStar financial services joins hands to donate $10,000 for Breast Cancer Awareness MANKATO, MINN. (October 9, 2012) – AgStar Financial Services proudly presented a $10,000 donation to affiliates from the Minnesota and Wisconsin chapters of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure at the annual Saddle Up for the Cure event in Rogers, MN on Oct. 7. While October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, all year long the AgStar team has been joining hands for breast cancer awareness and education. The donation was a result of a campaign AgStar initiated earlier this year with crop insurance sales. Throughout the campaign,

AgStar team members handed out leather work gloves embroidered with a pink ribbon in support of breast cancer awareness to clients. For every pair of pink ribbon gloves given away, AgStar donated $1 to the Minnesota and Wisconsin affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in honor of AgStar clients and team members who have been affected by breast cancer. “Chances are someone you care about has been impacted by breast cancer. At AgStar, we like to think of awareness as risk management. Early detection tests save lives,” explained

grandchildren, and this great nation is crucial. As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election would be my last. I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.

early July and took about three months to complete. The original building of the overlook took about four and one-half months during the country’s Great Depression. It was built through a work-for-relief program, the federal National Reemployment Service, part of the New Deal. The efforts of the Women’s Civic Improvement Club in Preston back in the early 1930s for highway beautification paved the way for the original project. The limestone walls and flagstone walk were originally constructed from limestone taken from a quarry located below the overlook. With the restoration, some of that original limestone was reused. The Root River flows about 90 feet below, and with the leaves off the trees the river is clearly visible. Arthur Nichols, a recognized and respected Minnesota landscape architect, did the original

Because it is on the National Register of Historic Places, it is mandated to reconstruct it exactly as it was first constructed in the 1930s. Environmental Associates are historic preservation masons and served as the main contractor on the project.

Ruth Ann Dohlman Ruth Ann Dohlman age 65 of New Hampton died Thursday afternoon, October 18, 2012, at the 11th Street Chautauqua Guest Home in Charles City after a lengthy illness. Ruth Ann Ruth was Dohlman born on May 2, 1947, in Aplington, Iowa the daughter of Eime and Irene (Lindaman) Dohlman. She attended rural country school near Le Roy, Minnesota. Ruth graduated from Riceville High School in 1965. After graduation Ruth took a job with Hillandale Farms in New Hampton. She worked for the company for over forty years, retiring in 2007. Ruth loved gardening and tending to her flowers. She also had a passion for crocheting, collecting dolls, going to bingo, and attending garage sales. Every year Ruth looked forward to going to Paradise Point Resort on Leech Lake. Survivors include two brothers, Dennis (Carla Greenlee) Dohlman of Bristow, IA, and Bob (Julie) Dohlman of Chester, IA; two sisters, Mavis (Jerry) Ptacek of Fredericksburg, IA, and Carol (Dale) Throckmorton of Wykoff, MN; one sis-

ter-in-law, Renae Dohlman of Le Roy, MN, along with many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; and one brother, Jeff Dohlman. Funeral Services were held Monday, October 22, 2012, at First Presbyterian Church, Le Roy, Minnesota with Chaplain David Byrd presiding. Interment was at Le Roy Cemetery. Frances Meeker Frances “Franny” Meeker, 61, passed away peacefully Thursday Oct. 25, 2012, at home with family and friends at her side. She fought a tough battle with ovarian cancer with more courage than can be imagined; she kept a good attitude and a good sense of humor to her last day. Franny was born June 9, 1951, to Boyd and Thelma McGhie Baker in Preston. They resided in rural Chatfield until her mother died of leukemia when she was four years old. Franny and her father then moved into Chatfield and lived with her grandparents Alice and William Baker. She was also taken in by parents of her friends and thought of as another daughter and sister. She graduated from Chatfield High School in 1969. On Dec. 15, 1973, she married Les Meeker at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Chafield. They lived in Hamel and Eagan for 2 1/2 years but came back

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County to Chatfield every weekend to enjoy family and friends. They moved back to Chatfield in 1976. They were blessed with three daughters Jeanette, Janelle and Jessica. Franny enjoyed spending time with her family, her grandchildren, every kid she knew and her dog Snicker. She also enjoyed family campfires, dancing, reading and vacations. Franny had a very special gift for connecting and working with kids. She worked with kids her entire life from her teenage years on. She was a babysitter, then daycare mom and then a paraprofessional working with special needs of children at Chatfield schools. She then started daycare again, which she did until her illness. She especially loved caring for babies. Many of her early daycare children sought her out to take care of their children. When her long week was done, she was still happy to watch kids on the weekend. She was known by many as a second mom or a second grandma. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and many adults and children she cared for. Franny is survived by her husband, Les; three daughters, Jeanette Meeker, of Chatfield, Janelle (Jason) Kaytor, of Owatonna and Jessica (John) Lutzi, of Byron; and four grandchil-

dren, Danika and Owen Kaytor and Atley and Rees Lutzi of Byron. She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents. The funeral was Monday, October 29, 2012, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Chatfield. Burial was in St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery in Chatfield. Janet Ronnenberg Janet A. Ronnenberg, 73, died Thursday, October 25, 2012, at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Rushford, Minn. Janet was born on August 22, 1939, in Tawney, Minn., to Daniel and Minerva (Nelson) Hungerholt. She married Willard A. Ronnenberg on September 3, 1955. Janet was a homemaker who also worked at Rush Products for many years until she was diagnosed with MS and retired. She was a member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Rushford, Minn. Janet enjoyed traveling, camping and going to craft fairs with her husband Willard, cheering on her favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, working puzzle books, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. One of Janet’s fondest memories was being able to go a Cub’s game at Wrigley Field with two of her granddaughters, Ashley and Tasha, before she became too ill to travel. See OBITUARIES Page 11 

By Jade Sexton At the regular Fillmore Central School Board meeting, Superintendent Richard Keith informed the board about a request from a southern Minnesota special education consortium to join with the district. According to Keith, it is sometimes difficult for the small districts to find psychologists and speech pathologists, and they often have to share services with other schools. Right now, Fillmore Central does have a speech pathologist. Keith said that joining forces with the consortium has certain risks, including financial ones. There is also the possibility that they would have to share the speech pathologist and have for less time. Michelle Breitsprecher, Special Ed. Director, was asked if she thought joining would solve any of their problems with staffing difficulties.

“It may make it stronger to find things, but does it solve everything? No,” replied Breitsprecher. Chairperson Ross Kiehne said the district is always open to creative ways to work with other small districts, but they also have to look at what makes sense. Keith also added that the Root River Program, which is currently a Fillmore Central program, could become a consortium program, and there is the potential it would be moved to a more central location. It was agreed amongst board members that the special ed. arrangement with Kingsland is working well, and they did not feel the need to continue discussion with the consortium. Personnel The board approved rescinding the hire of ECSE Paraprofessional Jessica Marzolf, and

approved the hire of Kelly Jo Dornink for that position. The resignation of Katie Gilman, daycare paraprofessional, was approved. The resignations of Aubrey Johnson and Ashley Case were also approved. The hires for extra-curricular staff were approved, including Joseph Cullen for assistant wrestling; Alan LaFluer, assistant wrestling; Domingo Kingsley, seventh grade girls basketball; John O’Connor, 9th grade girls basketball; and Jackie Whitacre, speech and one act play. Other Business The board approved the sale of a baler that is in the boiler room at the high school that is no longer in use. They also approved the sale of the 12-passenger van, as there is a state law that schools can no longer have 12-passenger vans. The board approved the Literacy Plan, which is done every

Area Community Foundation, this is one day made for people to give online to their favorite charity. To make things interesting, and to promote the event, the Spring Valley Area Community Foundation has challenged the Preston Area Community Foundation to see who can raise the most money that day. There are incentives and awards for any organizations to push for donations during the 24-hour period from midnight on November 15 through midnight on November 16. Grants are available for schools and non-profit organizations, and matching funds in certain cases. GiveMN.org is making it very easy for anyone to go online and use a credit card to make a minimum $10 donation. Craig explained that Miken Sports of Caledonia is also helping out with the local fundraising efforts by donating softball and baseball bats and sports bags. “I am told they are pretty exclusive, expensive bats,” said Craig. “There are no losers, but the city that receives the least amount of funds will be presenting the bats to the other side.” The bats and sports bags will then be donated to the school district on the winning side. Craig explained that the city with fewer donations will still get some equipment donated for their school. The Preston and Spring Valley Area Community Foundations are under the umbrella of the Southern Minnesota Initiative Fund (SMIF). They have contributed many donations to their communities and schools over the years. Craig explained that the money they are trying to raise with the Give to the Max Day will go to increase their endowment fund, allowing them to give

more to local organizations and schools. According to Craig, the Preston Area Community Foundation donates an average of $4,000 a year through their endowment fund. More information on the Give to the Max Day can be found on the website at www. givemn.org. On November 15, to donate to the Spring Val-

year. Once it is approved, it is available on the school website for anyone to read. Principal Heath Olstad said there were several team members that worked together on the plan. The board approved bids for snow removal from JD Snow Plowing for the Harmony site and Mensink Landscaping in Preston. They also approved bids from TNT Lawn Service for lawn mowing. The board also approved the following items: •A resolution authorizing general obligation alternative facility bonds to pay for the high school HVAC project in the spring. •The reimbursement resolution, which allows the district to pay for the project up front and be reimbursed when the bonds go through •Two open enrollment requests •The staff seniority list ley Area Community Foundation, go to www.givemn.razoo. com/story/Spring-Valley-AreaCommunity-Foundation.

Show dates are November 15-16-17, 6:30 PM at Potter Auditorium, Chatfield Center for the Arts, 405 Main Street S, Chatfield, Minnesota. In this medieval fairy tale, the Grey Knight escapes execution by the tender-hearted huntsman assigned to the task. Abandoned in the forest, the Grey Knight has two options: to travel to the cottage of the Seven Dwarves – dirty men who live in squalid conditions and work all day in a mine; or the cottage of the Seven Average-Sized Women who are all beautiful maids in need of rescue by a knight. After some consideration, the Grey Knight opts for the women. Sadly, the Seven Average-Sized Women have been enchanted: each can only

speak one phrase, and it’s up to the Grey Knight to solve the riddle, or end up enchanted himself!

Chosen Valley Threads has relocated By Barb Jeffers Chosen Valley Threads in Chatfield, Minn. has changed locations after being located in the previous building for 13 years. Mat and Lisa Vaupel took over as owners of Chosen Valley Threads in May of 2012, which was then located at 217 S. Main Street in Chatfield. Shortly thereafter the building at 203 S. Main Street became available and the Vaupels thought the location offered many opportunities for a growing business. The move from one building to another, in October 2012, was “awesome” stated Lisa. Family and employees pitched in during the transition. The fact that the business was relocating just down the block helped to make the move go smoothly as well. Lisa really likes the openness of the new space with high ceilings and large front windows that provide a bright and airy showroom. The building provides more workspace for Lisa and the employees, which is and added advantage. Lisa said that she is “excited about having a storage area in the back” which she did not have in the past. The large front windows of the building will provide Chosen Valley Threads the opportunity for displays of merchandise.

Lisa said she has had “tons of compliments” from customers on the new space. “I absolutely

love it,” stated Lisa, adding that even though they just moved in to the building, she feels as

Southeastern Minnesota IGA stores add REMIS glass Rush Foods, Inc. has installed doors onto previously open cases at three of their locations in southeastern Minnesota. The local grocer added 16 feet of grey doors at Harmony IGA, 88 feet of black doors at Preston IGA, and 84 feet of black doors at Rushford IGA. In addition to the doors, the Rushford location installed 42 feet of black Ecosafe island covers. The system includes new energy efficient LED lighting, which is more reliable than the existing lighting, as well as improved quality of light on the product displayed in the case. The installation was made possible through a USDA Rural Energy for American Pro-

gram energy efficiency grant and rebates from Tri-County Electric Cooperative and Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency. Brad Hoiness, co-owner/ operations manager, said that he heard of REMIS through a fellow IGA retailer who had installed doors to save on his electric bill. For Rush Foods, the estimated annual Kilowatt hour savings at each store is: 5,367 kWh for Harmony, 40,757 kWh for Preston, and 39,558 kWh for Rushford, based on data provided by Director of Member Services for Tri-County Electric Cooperative Brad Pecinovsky. Although saving money was the

primary reason to install the system, improving product quality was a close second motive for the grocer. With the doors comes temperature consistency and as Hoiness explained, “The temperature consistency will not only extend the shelf life of our fresh foods, but also it will keep foods fresh longer in our customers’ refrigerators.” Both customers and employees are proud of the recent store changes. “Our customers like to see improvements made to ‘their store’ and they understand that electricity is getting to be a bigger expense even in their own home. Our employees understand it is necessary to save

money by conserving electricity and are proud that we’ve accomplished that with this project.” So far, customers have shown their appreciation for how much warmer the store feels, which makes shopping more enjoyable. Hoiness said that the installation process went smoothly. “The REMIS team was very professional from start to finish. They understand how to protect our products in the cases they are working on and were able to install the system overnight so it did not negatively impact our business. The custom REMIS system fits so well, it looks like it was always meant to be there.”

Rush Foods, Inc. is a family-owned grocery retailer with stores in Rushford, Preston and Harmony, Minnesota serving communities in Fillmore County. The Hoiness family has owned and operated Rush Foods, Inc. since 1973. REMIS AMERICA offers retro-fit refrigeration doors and covers to grocery retailers that cut energy costs up to 80 percent while also greatly reducing retailers’ carbon footprint. REMIS AMERICA, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, is the result of a joint venture between, DEHCO, Inc., Elkhart, Indiana, and REMIS GmbH of Cologne, Germany.

“Why buy your Chevy at the Ford Store?” Well, it all started when we saw local dealers selling Impala’s for $18,990. We know where they came from. We know what they cost. It’s all online, easy for a dealer like us to see. It just didn’t seem right to be getting that much for cars that cost so little. We saw an opportunity for all car buyers. If we could sell them for $4,000-$5,000 less and still make a fair profit, why not? So we did ... and in the customers came ... we couldn’t keep up! We ran out 7 different times ... selling them at fair prices. So guess what? We will continue to do it ... and not at hugely inflated prices. We believe we sold more Impala’s than all the local Chevy dealers combined! Now other dealers are forced to discount their Impala’s, but we think the general public that paid the high prices are rebelling and going where the prices are the lowest and have been from the beginning. Sugarloaf Ford. We will continue to be leaders in low prices, count on Sugarloaf to be there for you. We thank the 100 plus impala customers and look forward to more business. “Why pay the difference if you can’t tell the difference!” I’ll see you at Sugarloaf Ford.

Fillmore County Sports Win or done week By Paul Trende Rally Cougars All season long, two very good volleyball squads practiced a mere 15 miles apart from one another. All season long, they practiced without doing so in preparation for a game with each other. When the seeding for the Section 1A-East tournament came out, it became official that powerful squads (#7 in Class A) Mabel-Canton (the 2-seed, 30-5) and Fillmore Central (the 3-seed, 26-5) were destined for a clash. Sometimes big games live up to the hype. Sometimes they do not. This match-up was highly memorable, though one squad walked away very, very dispirited. The Falcons got an early boost. Starting middle hitter Leah Scheevel returned from a wedding just in time to make the first serve. FC used her presence, and Taylor Case’s excellent hitting abilities, to build a 17-11 lead. Mabel responded with a 5-nil run. The teams tied at 18 and 19. M-C had a 3-nil spurt (22-19). FC responded to tie things at 23. Eight ties later, the Falcons got back-to-back kills from Victoria Peterson and Sammi Bakke to get a huge extended-game #1 win, 33-31.

In game 2, they kept up the momentum, leading the first 1/3 of the set. M-C took a brief lead in the middle portion before the Falcons slowly increased their lead to win 25-20. At that point (6 PM), it looked like FC would win, maybe in time for media personnel to make a beeline for a 7 PM sectional semi-final football game. It looked more so that way when FC jolted ahead 9-2 in game 3. From that point on, for whatever reason, the match completely changed. Mainly, M-C kept playing its game, heeding its coach, Lonnie Morken’s advice; ‘one point at a time.’ FC inexplicably faltered. The Cougs, on the strength of a huge 13-1 run, completely flipped the scoreboard, taking an 18-12 lead. They prevailed 25-18, as FC, having started 9-2, scored only nine more points. In set #4, the Falcons initially regrouped. There were ties at one thru seven. Then Cougar setter Carly McCabe took over. She scored five setter-attack kills in the game. M-C finished the set scoring the final seven points to win 25-14, knotting the match at 2-2. At that point, FC was discombobulated. M-C was morethan resilient. The deciding game #5 had each team playing its

Dan Gatzke & Company versus Mean-Green. R-P’s defense curtailed Gatzke. The Trojans via the sophmore air attack of Jonnie Koenen, Cole Kingsley, and Alex Vix curtailed FC 21-7 in the first round of the Section 1A Football Tournament. Photo by Paul Trende hearts out. Nine ties were proof of it. M-C went to their graceful gazelle Belle Sand (5 kills). FC went to their angular attack ace Case (4 kills). A McCabe setterkill gave M-C a 15-14 lead. It put them at game and match point. A year ago, against LewistonAltura, they were in the exact same position, only to be denied.

But when a Falcon attack went into the net, there was no denial, just jubilation. From down 2-sets-to-0, and down 9-2 in game #3, M-C roared back to win an epic match with FC 3-2 (31-33, 20-25, 25-18, 25-14, 16-14). Sand (20 kills, 19 digs) and McCabe (9 kills, 39 assists, 19 digs) were superb. Case (22

kills, 4.5 blocks, 16 digs) was similarly brilliant for FC. Chelsea Rislove (25 digs) and Christine Lee (24 digs) were very active defensively. In heartbreaking fashion, the Falcons finish a marvelous season at 26-6. They’ll graduate only See SPORTS Page 19 

Rislove. They’ll be heard from again. M-C lives to play #2 in 1A Wabasha-Kellogg in the East Sub-Section final. Gopher Saturday Only one county high school had a legitimate shot of coming out of play-off Saturday with both its volleyball team and football team heading to Sub-Section/Section final games. Chatfield Gopher fans have had a lot to cheer about this season, and October 27th was no different. The volleyball team got things started, facing St. Charles in a Sub-Section 1AA East semifinal. The teams met twice in the regular season, with Gophers winning both (3-0, 3-2). The play-off contest had the teams meeting in the middle. Chatfield dominated game #1 25-9. They were seemingly in command of game #2 too (up 21-15) only for the Saints to pull even at 24, and win in extra points 28-26. Sets three and four were eerily similar. St. Charles was game early, as set #3 was tied at 13 and set #4 10. The Saints then nearly completely disappeared. Chat finished set #3 on a 12-1 run and set #4 on a 15-3 to win 25-14 and 25-13. They won the match 3-1. Maddy Kammer led the Gophs on attack with 15 kills. Kirsten Keefe was her versatile self (29 digs unofficially, 6 kills, 3 aces), Alex Duxbury her defensive self (21 digs unofficially). Kileigh Dudek had 21 assists (unofficially) and 4 aces. The Gophers will again play Caledonia for the 1AA East crown. The football team, on paper, had a much harder task in front of it; beat 9-0 #7 in state in Class AA Lewiston-Altura (the section’s 2-seed). The Gophers (8-1, #10 in state, the 3-seed) collectively

said, “no problem.” Chatfield exploded out of the gate. On their first series, Jake Neis took a pitch going right, was seemingly tripped up after five yards, but kept his feet, broke a tackle, and then zoomed his way to a terrific 64-yard TD run (6-0). On the Gopher’s next possession, Nate Skare hit Jayme LaPlante on a simple crossing route. The big and speedy LaPlante turned it into a 74-yard pitch and catch TD (12-0). A 2nd quarter drive saw Chatfield continue to rip off big chunks of yardage, with Justin Viss doing a lot of damage. On 4th and goal from the L-A 4, the Card’s keyed on Viss and Neis. It allowed LaPlante to come around end for a 4-yard TD run. The Gophs tacked on the fourth 1st half score, a 34-yard Nate Skare FG (set up by a 42-yard Neis run). At half, Chatfield sported an impressive 22-0 lead. They had 11 first downs to L-A’s three, and 327 total yards (256 rushing) to the Card’s 102 (82 rushing). The Gopher offensive line (Brandon Adler, Michael Mabe, Tommy Jech, Mark Neppl, Luke Isensee) was a hole-making juggernaut. L-A regrouped a bit early in the 2nd half, capitalizing on a Neis fumble, turning it into points (a Sheldon Knutson 2-yard run). But 22-6 is a close as the Cards got. Viss scored the Goph’s final TD, a 20-yard run in the 4th quarter, making it 29-6. Card QB Nate Reps hit Knutson on a 50-yard TD strike to cap the scoring. Chatfield’s impressive first half more than paved the way to a convincing 29-12 victory. Gopher blockers paved the way for both Neis (19164, TD) and Viss (21-150, TD) to run rampant. Knutson was the Card’s weapon (10 carries, 45 yard, TD; 3 receptions 58 yards, TD). Chatfield dominated

Sue’s Muse By Sue Ommen

Airlines and Disasters The airlines have been in the news a great deal recently. Safety concerns from seats coming loose from their base made headlines a couple of weeks ago. Cancellations of flights along the East Coast from the disaster of Hurricane Sandy have been broadcast. Even though only on a much smaller personal scale, airlines and disastrous weather bring to mind the trip I took with two friends to Chicago a long time ago. The trip started as a lark, the highlight of our summer working together at Donaldson’s in downtown Minneapolis. Though strangers when hired,

Thank You!

From the bottom of my heart to family and friends who made my 100TH birthday celebration a memory to cherish. Your attendance at my party, cards, gifts, phone calls and visits are so appreciated! It was wonderful to have so many of you take time out of your day to celebrate with me and to see cousins and friends that I haven’t seen for a long time. There have been many changes in my 100 years but God’s love and the love of family and friends has remained constant. I have been blessed with family, friends and good health. I pray you are blessed with the same.

we became friends while working in the Buyer-Trainee Program. After many discussions over lunch about where to get the best deal through the travel agency, we settled on a trip to Chicago. We arrived at the airport on Friday night, wearing the trends of the times and an air of anticipation. Boyfriends had supplied transit, and stayed for a celebratory sendoff meal in the rather nice airport dining room. It was certainly a more carefree time to travel, before 9/11, with less regulations and cheap seats on standby status, though we had booked seats ahead for this flight. Then the cancellations started to roll in, as storm warnings became more serious. After several hours of waiting, our flight was canceled as well, and we could see all our youthful hopes for a fun-filled weekend being dashed. However, at 10 PM, another airline announced they would pick up the canceled flight. We assured ourselves the other airlines were being overly cautious, and it was safe to travel. So we boarded the plane and settled in for a tumultuous ride. Later, when I ventured to the bathroom, I overheard one of the three stewardesses, tightly buckled into their seats, tell the others in an alarmed whisper, that the storm had been upgraded to tornado warnings.

sible as our plane bucked as though riding a bronco, hitting uncooperative air currents all around us. At 1 AM we arrived, but unfortunately it was in Milwaukee. My eyes widened, as they rolled a portable staircase up to the plane to disembark. After an hour on the ground, they deemed it safe enough to fly, and after another very turbulent flight, we arrived in Chicago at 4 AM. We claimed our baggage and hurried outside to find that the cab drivers had chosen that morning to make good on their threat to strike. A few independents were frantically picking up fares and finally we jumped into the back seat of a cab as two strange men climbed into the front, and then we all took off for downtown. Once on the freeway, the cab slowed down until the driver pulled over to the side and apologetically informed us he was out of gas. He fished the gas can out of the trunk and ran off, leaving us to wonder if we’d ever see him again. We eyed the men in front, wondering if they had a criminal record. But soon he was back, and we took off once more, yearning for a bed to get some much-needed sleep. At the hotel, we checked in with the clerk at the desk, and were informed that if we waited an hour longer, we’d only be required to pay for one night instead of two. After sitting dejectedly in the hobby, eyes drooping shut, the clerk took pity on us and showed us to our rooms early. We surveyed the shabby space in disbelief, as it looked like the maid quarters in “Upstairs, Downstairs.” Back at the desk in the lobby, we vented our indignation, only to discover the nice suite of rooms we’d splurged on had been given away when we didn’t show. A little more savvy,

we called hotels within walking distance until lodging was found nearby. After retrieving our luggage, now much heavier, we made our way to a very nice group of rooms, threw ourselves on our beds and passed out. An hour later one of my friends woke us up shouting, “We are in Chicago, let’s go out and party!” Being young and resilient, we quickly washed the dirt of travel away and went sightseeing, visiting Old Town and the Chicago Institute of Art, at my insistence. That night we dressed in all of our finery to see a play. The next night held even more excitement as one of the girls had borrowed a key to the Playboy Club. We were all pretty naïve, but very curious about this famous place. It didn’t live up to our expectations, but we still enjoyed gaping at the bunny tails winding their way around the tables. All in all, what started out as a disaster turned into a trip that was unforgettable.

Sunday morning, we were relieved to hear the taxicab strike was settled, and the weather sunny. We arrived home without further incident. Sunday night I was surprised to see a large, unruly crowd on the news, picketing in front of the hotel we had vacated just a short time earlier. It was 1968, the week of the Democratic convention, and history was being made. Riots escalated during the week, the unrest due to the unpopular Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., three months earlier and the recent shooting of Bobby Kennedy, one of the hopefuls for president. Eventually, the National Guard was called to quell the angry mobs, leading me to wonder which force of nature was more disturbing, the storm we had flown through, or the climate of the nation.

3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided 6 4-ounce cube steaks. 1 large onion, sliced into strips 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 cups beef stock. 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Conventional Round Steak with onions and mushrooms

Preheat the oven to 350°. Heat the oil in a skillet. Dredge steaks in some of the flour, reserving the rest of the flour. Brown steaks in the oil. Place a layer of sliced onions, mushrooms and garlic into an oven-proof dish, and alternate the layers of steak and onion mixture. Pour in beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and bake for two hours in a preheated oven. Remove steaks and onion mixture from the dish, and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring until thickened. Serve steaks and onions with gravy over rice or noodles. We like a mixture of wild rice, brown rice and. Arborio rice.

A precious one from us is gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our lives which never can be filled. If heaven wasn’t so far away, I would load up my family and come for a day. It would be so great to see you again! You are missed so much! Love ~ Your Family

A place for family and friends I have written about the Old Barn Resort before, but it is definitely worth revisiting for many reasons. This is one of those places that melds well with its natural surroundings. Whether golfing within the valley along the Root River and the Root River State Trail, fishing and camping in the treefilled campground, or simply grabbing a bite to eat at the restaurant, the Old Barn Resort is a place where my family continues to make memories.

9, 2012, I asked my wife if we could just take the easy route for dinner and stop by the Old Barn Resort. That sure beats having to cook for yourself, and then somebody else does the dishes! So, she agreed. What’s always interesting to me when we go out to eat is that I can always recall what I had for dinner, and I can never remember what anyone else ordered. However, after I am done with my meal, I look around the table and wait for others to tap-out from dining fatigue. Whatever anyone else in the family can’t finish, I’m there to finish the job. I guess it’s always been that way since I was a little kid. I fear the day it catches up

with me. I guess this means I will have to just train harder for the Fillmore County Turkey Day Run. Well, in case you were wondering, I had the Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Burger. I always love spicy food, so this stood out on the menu like a pot of gold. I absolutely enjoyed my burger. And, they seriously have dynamite fries. Delicious! As I’ve said before, they always have great food at the Old Barn Resort. We’ve been there for the Mother’s Day Brunch and the Easter Brunch, and they have something to brag about. I can’t remember all of the food I consumed, but I do remember the delicious ribs -finger lickin’ good! To me, we are very fortunate to have the best family-owned restaurants in the region right here in our backyard. I prefer our local restaurants over any cookie-cutter chain restaurants in the big city. Yes, the Old Barn Resort dining experience comes with two finger lickin’ thumbs up! You can find the Old Barn Resort on Hwy. 17 between Preston and Lanesboro. They also have a website: www.barnresort. com.

Brad Boice Concert The public is invited to a musical concert presented by Brad Boice at the Fillmore Free Methodist Church (in the village of Fillmore) at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening, November 11. Brad, who has been an Elvis Presley tribute artist since 2005, will be sharing a concert of sacred and Elvis music. Brad Boice started his Elvis Tribute in 2005 after attending a musical impersonator show with his wife JulAnn. Since that time, he has entertained thousands of people in many different venues. Brad has performed in nine Elvis competitions since starting

his Elvis Tribute, and has placed 1st four times. In addition, he has been the featured performer on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship “Independence of the Seas” for the annual Elvis Birthday Bash. Brad, like Elvis, cares about people, and Brad desires to honor God through his music. There is no charge for the concert, and a free-will offering will be received to help build a home for a poor family in Honduras. For more information, contact Pastor Mike Hopper of the Fillmore Church at (507) 3525455.

Bring it on! Fillmore Central Style By Gabby Gatzke Growing up, our parents often offer us a variety of opportunity to try different activities in school and in our communities. For Garrett Wangen, a 12 yearold at Fillmore Central High School, an opportunity arose and

he took advantage of it. Fillmore Central offers cheerleading as a fall sport and for the years that Fillmore Central has existed, it has been a female dominated sport. But this year, that all changed. Wangen has always liked dance

always enjoyed listening to music and dancing to it. Wangen decided to join cheerleading when he started the 7th grade in Harmony this year. Wangen said that his parents were both very supportive with his decision to join cheerleading and made it to every football game that he cheered at. Wangen said the girls on the cheerleading squad have been very nice and were happy to see him join. Sexton also noted that his coach Melissa Kiehne was also very welcoming to her son joining the cheer squad. She even helped get a custom made uniform for him to wear at all the games and pep fests. As far as Wangen’s favorite part of cheerleading this year, he said the pep fest was definitely a favorite event for him, even though he was very nervous. Sexton said he did a great job regardless. When noting what advice he could give to other boys who may be interested in cheerleading, Wan-

according to his mother, Jade Sexton. Sexton said that her son as been interested in gymnastics and dancing since he was able to do them. Aside from the dancing aspect of cheerleading, music was also a selling point for Wangen. He has

gen said, “Be confident and do what you want to do!” As far as Wangen’s future in cheerleading, he plans to stay active until graduation, and even has aspirations to continue his love for the sport into college. He has even began to teach his younger sister a thing or two in regards to cheers and dancing. Wangen’s story proves that allowing young people to have different opportunities to participate in a variety of activities is something that leaves a lasting impression on them and their peers for a lifetime.

A Journey to Freedom: A special program to be held at Luther College By Jade Sexton There are war stories from around the world that have not been heard by many people, and one of the most fascinating comes from the Vietnam War. The story of the USS Kirk, a ship that saved more than 33,000 Vietnamese men, women and children is one that especially struck a young Micheal Foster from Decorah. He has since made it his mission to make sure the heroic story is heard and its heroes recognized. Micheal’s father, Kent Foster is a photographer in Decorah. Foster said his son Micheal has become friends with some of the people who were on that ship, including Paul Jacobs, who was the Commander of the USS Kirk at the time. Foster explained that during the fall of Saigon, the USS Kirk returned to shore to rescue people and vessels. They had no help from anyone until they reached international water, and it was a five-day journey. “They only lost one person in those five days,” said Foster. “And that was a baby that aspirated from pneumonia.” Foster described it as a very emotional experience, as there were thousands of people that left their homes and their country and sometimes family members, in order to be saved from the North Vietnamese army. Micheal Foster, a sophomore in high school in Decorah, has been to California, the east coast, and many local places talking about this. According to his father, Micheal is a very articulate speaker, and wishes to be President of the United

America Recycles Day LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator America Recycles Day will celebrate its fifteenth anniversary November 15. It is a day set aside each year to educate people about the need for better recycling and motivate them to improve their recycling habits. I would venture to guess that everyone in Fillmore County participates in at least one form of recycling, while others may recycle a dozen materials or perhaps LaVerne even more. Paulson Some individuals will drop an occasional pop can or bottle in a recycling container while a another person diligently sets one or two containers on

the curb to be collected each week. Others, without curbside service, bring their recyclables to the recycling center or deposit them in one of the many rural containers that are found throughout the county. Fillmore County collects tons and tons of recyclables each week and in a few, short days, these materials become new bottles, cans, paper, or other products made from recycled materials. Here are a some ways that residents of Fillmore County are reducing, reusing, and recycling at the present time. When you are finished reading this paper, cut this article out and put it in a prominent place that will remind you to try some new ways of recycling. You may want to try one or two new ways to help our environment now and add one or two more to your list later in a month or two.

Monday, November 5, 2012 Remove plastic caps from bottles and jugs. The caps are made of a different form of plastic and melt at a different temperature. When caps find their way into the vats of melted plastic, they can contaminate the contents. Do not recycle #5 plastic containers. Use them for leftovers, take them to the Cities, ship them to the east coast, donate them to a church kitchen, or put them in your garbage. Like your plastic bottle caps, #5 plastic melts at a different temperature and contaminates the useable plastic. Just keep them out of your recycling container. Recycle #1 and #2 plastic only. These numbers are found inside the “chasing arrows” recycling symbol on the bottom of most plastic containers. Just because the container has the recycling symbol, does not make it recyclable. Only #1 and #2 are recyclable in Fillmore County. Limit your use of styrofoam. Use a plastic or metal coffee cup while away from home. Take your own container (perhaps a #5) to a restaurant to bring home extra food. 25,000,000,000 styrofoam cups are used and landfilled each year....and they don’t decompose for hundreds of years. Styrofoam is not recyclable in Fillmore County. Become a member of the “bring your own bag” brigade. The cloth or canvas bags are much stronger, can be washed, and with the different colors available, you can most likely match your outfit for the day. Hundreds of tons of plastic bags used in the United States each year is more than excessive. If you must use plastic, take them back to the store along with other bags used for dry-cleaning, bread, potatoes, or carrots. Of course, they must be clean and dry. Recycle all newspaper, ads, magazines, cardboard, boxboard, empty paper towel tubes, junk mail, and books, including phone books. Shredded paper is also very recyclable, but make sure it is contained in a closed paper bag or cardboard box. Boxboard used in refrigerators and freezers is not recyclable due to the wax coating (not recycling friendly) that keeps them from falling apart if they pick up some moisture. These include fridge packs for soda, TV dinner boxes, and, of course, frozen pizza boxes. Please do not use plastic bags for recycling shredded paper or anything else. Make a serious attempt to keep all plastic bags out of the recycling. It may be convenient to use them, but they cause all sorts of problems when they get to the Twin Cities and wrap around all the shafts, gears, and pulleys on the machines that separate the different recyclable items. This is just the start of the list of habits to make you a better recycler. I am planning a second article on this in the near future. If there is a recycling subject that you would like me to share with the residents of the county, please contact me at lpaulson@co.fillmore. mn.us<mailto:lpaulson@ co.fillmore.mn.us> and I will try to include it in a future article.
