Two days after the last city council meeting, Rushford was hopeful they could meet a June 30 deadline for the city hall and library projects. However, it was unclear whether the city would be granted any funding through a USDA American Recovery and Reinvestment Act program due to massive changes in the project(s). A day later, it was clear the deadline couldn’t be met and City Administrator officially requested the USDA to de-obligate the loan and grant, citing an inability to meet plan and specification requirements. This potential outcome had been touched on at the May 28 council meeting and some anticipated that the city would need to seek funding elsewhere for the reduced project. Originally awarded the $250,000 grant and up to a $2.234 million loan, a 40-year note at 4.25 percent interest, the

funding had come in a long line of successive fundraising efforts by the Library Board. Beginning in late 2007, and following nearly eight years of studies and surveys in relation to the library, the city was awarded a sought-out Brownfield Beautification Grant from Minnesota DEED (Department of Employment and Economic Development). The matching grant, in the amount of $617,600, was aimed at property acquisition and building demolition for a new city center project on the former G.S. Woxland lot on the corner of Park and Mill Streets. The property was aquired in April of 2008 and by early 2009, a capital campaign was in full swing with hopes of raising additional funding for the project, which at that time was estimated at $3.4 million, minus an optimistic $1.2 million in fundraising efforts.

Sparky is a very nice dog . He seems to like children a lot. I feel he was probably tied outside all the time, as he seems to have some nervous energy. When we take him for walks he is a little spooked by certain noises sometimes. He seems to not like other animals very much. I feel Sparky would make a good farm dog where is able to have the room and space to run, and yet possibly also be an indoor dog when he is done getting rid of energy. He has not had any accidents here at the shelter and always goes potty outside.

Pack 67 Cub Scouts enjoyed a very successful and exciting 2012 Pinewood Derby recently. The scouts entered an assortment of handmade pinewood cars that were not only cool to look at, but swift on the track. After several close and exciting heats, 3 cars were revealed to be the fastest. Matt Weiss’ Hershey’s themed car not only looked good enough to eat, but came through as the speediest car on the track. Hunter Suckow’s sporty red jeep blazed a trail of win after win that earned him a well deserved second place. Ben Erickson’s “Ben 10” inspired mobile was a flash of green as it secured 3rd place. Dillon O’Connor impressed the judge with his creative space themed car with parts that sparkled and even glowed in the dark, earning his car the coveted title of “Best in Show.” Left to right: Matt Weiss, Hunter Suckow, Ben Erickson, Dillon O’Connor.

C ommentary Exposing the argumentative tactics of the conservative right By Herb Panko Chatfield, MN The views of the Conservative Right are consistently well-represented in this newspaper---mainly by the three regular columnists John Goutcher, Stan Gudmundson, and Andrew Kingsley. Opposition voices are long overdue. Before we deconstruct some of their most common Herb Panko themes, the reader should be aware of the most frequent tactics commonly used by the Right in promulgating their ideology: employing gross exaggeration and deception, “cherry picking” a phrase or sentence from an article or book that seems to support their viewpoint and ignoring the rest of the body of work that does not support their view, stating half-truths, using none, poor, or dubious supporting evidence, and frequently stating outright falsehoods. First, let’s take Mr. Goutcher’s argument that we were founded as a Christian nation. That is contrary to most of our founders’ beliefs and declarations.

They were indeed mostly Deists, agnostics, and atheists. Simply taking an oath on the Bible or calling on God for support as was common at the time has more to do with generic use of the deity and political protocol than professing allegiance to an anthropomorphic, omniscient personal deity. I wonder how many of those early oaths were taken with a hand on the Jeffersonian Bible. Jefferson did not believe Jesus was God or divine. He actually excerpted all passages in his Bible that referenced that belief--hardly a Christian act. In fact, nowhere does the Constitution say: “This is a Christian nation” or anything even close to that. In fact, the words “Jesus Christ, Christianity, Bible, Creator, Divine, and God” are never mentioned in the Constitution---not even once. The reason for that is intentional and very clear. The founders wanted to be sure that no religion, even Christianity, could make the claim of being the official, national religion. Therefore, it is inconceivable that the founders would have wanted the U.S. to be considered a Christian nation. Incidentally, since most of the founders were either Deists or

leaned toward Deism, any use of the word “God,” “Creator” etc. was most likely a reference to the Deistic God, not the Christian God. There is more proof that the early founders did not want this country to be considered a Christian nation. The 1796 Treaty with Tripoli states that the United States was “not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” This treaty was written under the presidency of George Washington and signed under the presidency of John Adams. Next, let’s consider Mr. Gudmundson’s reference to the March 28, 2012, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC). Mr. Gudmundson “cherry picks” one statement from the report that seems to support what he apparently wants to believe---that global warming is only a weakly supported hypothesis or at most a pure hoax. The statement that he conveniently excerpts from the report reads, “long-term trends in normalized (property) losses have not been attributed to natural or anthropogenic climate change.” What Mr. Gudmundson conveniently does not tell you is that the basic thrust of the IPCC is that global warming/climate change is real

Letter about the economy To the Editor, Many people believe that Mitt Romney’s strategy is banking on American’s short memory accusing President Obama of doing not enough to promote America’s recovery is a better argument than blaming him for the effects of George Bush policies. Those same people forget that the 2007 budget deficit that ended September 20 was $162 billion. This deficit was long after Bush’s tax cut kicked in and spending on the two wars and Medicare programs were

in place. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office had projected Obama’s budget will produce a $977 billion deficit next year. Remember that the Democrats controlled congress in 2006-2007 and led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, spends a record amount of money. Neither President Bush nor President Obama put a stop to the spending. President Obama’s health program means more taxation in the future. Since Obama has been in office, entitlement spending has risen 41 percent to about $1 tril-

lion a year with an astounding 126 separate anti-poverty programs in place. America’s $14.4 trillion debt keeps rising with no end in sight and Americans are struggling the pay the bills. President Obama ignores the bipartisan Bowles-Simpson Budget Commission plan to control future deficits. Tim Penny’s “On Memorial Day, let’s pay it forward” was an excellent opinion on the Rochester Post Bulletin issue on May 28, 2012. Minar Therneau Spring Valley, MN

Editorial Cartoon

and that we must prepare for it. In support of the opposing view, one could have “cherry picked” in the same article the statement, “human-caused climate change influences climatic-related disaster risk.” But, of course, this is always a deceptive tactic regardless of which side of the fence one is on. What’s important is the main thrust of the article which is that the IPCC is in agreement with the overwhelming consensus that we are indeed experiencing global warming. Anyone who disagrees with that is in denial or suffering from some type of scientific illiteracy. Another favorite ideological punching bag of the Right is “Big Government.” Mr. Kingsley falls in lock-step with the backward and flawed thinking of those who treat the federal government as our enemy. In his latest column Mr. Kingsley uses such phrases as “massive, corrupt government,” and “the solution will not be found in government.” Both statements are half-truths at best. Such phrases showing “big government” as the enemy roll off the tongue easily as if such beliefs are self-evident and need no explanation. Those who make those claims have no idea of how to arrive at a “small gov-

ernmentor” or whether it is even advisable. We live in a nation of 300+ million people, most of whom have a right to be served by the government in some capacity whether it be Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, agricultural and small business subsidies, federal student loans, transportation, communication, and education subsidies, and a myriad of other types of aid. The truth is that both politically and ethically it is nearly impossible to do much “cutting” to make a significant difference in the economy. “Big Government” in itself is not bad but it has to be funded. The problem is the Conservative Right takes the position that appeals to those who have a selfish and unpatriotic mindset--that taxes should not be increased for any reason. And by the way, getting rid of waste and corruption in government is a laudable goal, but it is unrealistic; and even if we could do so, it would not solve our current economic woes. In summary, the reader needs to be aware that most Right Wing ideology is not based on sound judgment or realistic government policy but on deceptions, exaggerations, half-truths, and alarmist rhetoric.

C ommentary Talking common sense By Karen Reisner Political party rhetoric is directed to appeal to a voter’s emotion rather than a careful, honest, reasoned use of common sense. Being somewhat of a political junkie, I read and watch a variety of opinion pieces. A few weeks ago on a May 27 program on CNN, I was treated to some very refreshing “common sense.” The two guests were Alan Simpson Karen Reisner and Erskine Bowles. Together they chaired the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform created by President Obama in early 2010. The resulting report was released in December of 2010. The bipartisan commission was able to gain a majority vote (11 out of 18), but not the super majority (14 out of 18) required to move their recommendations forward in Congress. Simpson and Bowles have given many interviews recently in an effort to wake people and Congress up to the seriousness of the fiscal situation, especially at the end of this year if nothing is accomplished. They are thoughtful thinking men who have the country’s best interest at heart, not just their own political party or political future. Both understand government and the economy and the need in a republic like ours to work together. The two parties have been, in a sense, conducting a civil war, pulling the country apart, which if continued will destroy it from the inside out. Former Senator Simpson (R)

doesn’t pull any punches and says it like it is in his own folksy way. He doesn’t pander to anyone including his own party. The following are quotes from the 80 year old Simpson, who has grown wise over the years. “Common sense has escaped members of the GOP.” “If losing your seat means more to you than your country, you shouldn’t be in Congress.” “You can’t cut spending your way out of this hole, you can’t grow your way out of this hole, and you can’t tax your way out of this hole.” “If you want to be in politics, you learn to compromise and you learn to compromise an issue without compromising yourself.” Simpson also questioned how Congress could have voted for the Bush tax cut when we were in two wars. Former chief of staff under President Clinton, Erskine Bowles warned of the $7 trillion storm of economic events that will hit at the end of 2012 if Congress fails to act, including the expiration of the Bush era tax cuts, alternative minimum tax, payroll tax cut, and these “senseless” across the board cuts that have come with the failure of last year’s Super Committee. Bowles insists that together they will have a two percent negative effect on GDP. Bowles is optimistic that the lame duck Congress will manage to set up a framework to prevent this. He maintains it has to be balanced, including reform of the tax code which should increase revenue. Bowles warns if Congress fails to act, the stock market will fall, interest rates will go up and the country will experience another down grade of its credit rating. Bowles said, “The only thing

standing between the U.S. and sustainable growth is having a sensible, responsible, long term fiscal plan.” This will require a compromise between the parties. In a representaive form of government like ours, compromise is the only way to move forward. Dictatorships can manage without compromise. Bowles stated, “We have the most inefficient, ineffective, globally anti-competitive tax code that man could dream up.” He insisted that we need to broaden the base and get rid of spending in the tax code (reducing or eliminating numerous tax code exemptions, deductions and loopholes). If nothing is done the debt will spiral out of control and the first trillion dollars of revenue collected will go to pay the interest on the debt by 2020. I can’t agree with these two wise men more. Neither party has the courage to do the unpopular thing and take the leap. They need to jump together and quit the finger pointing. Some seem to be in Congress for the sole purpose of sticking it to the other side. It is our job to weed these people out with our vote in November. Our representatives are not in office to stand stubbornly with their own hardened philosophy. Once elected, a representative or senator represents all their constituents and is tasked with acting in the best interest of the country. Congress needs to throw the tax code, entitlements, and defense spending in the washing machine and clean out all the waste, excesses, and give aways. Everyone will feel a pinch and that is as it should be. Congress has riddled the tax code with a break here and a subsidy there to direct behavior and buy political support. Democrats want to protect entitlements, but with the retirement of the baby boomers and longer life spans, they need to be reformed to make them sustainable. This is just a fact and common sense. Republicans want to keep revenue constant or reduce it, but still continually increase spending on defense. Cutting taxes and reducing domestic spending alone as the Republicans want to do will not bring in enough revenue to pay the bills. The idea that tax cuts always pay for themselves is a fallacy. If the tax code is cleansed and simplified, rates may be able to be reduced, but many will pay more due to a reduction of their deductions and exemptions. If Congress can enact a sensible long-term credible plan, it will provide certainty to business. Certainty in the long term will allow businesses to plan, expand and/or start up and thereby improve the job situation. We need common sense and honesty from our representatives. When that candidate appeals to your emotion, look at the math. If it doesn’t add up, there is no honesty or common sense.

Letter in response to Tschumper To the Editor, Campaign season must be here: Kenny Tschumper is spewing more nonsense again. I agree with him on one point. It’s a shame that the Vikings stadium was the Number 1 priority for Governor Dayton and the DFL this year. It didn’t even make my Top 20. But let’s remember, the stadium uses no General Fund dollars, which is why I supported it. My priorities were putting record amounts of funding into our rural K-12 schools, protecting nursing homes from budget cuts when the DFL-led Legislature left us a $6.2 billion budget deficit in November, 2010, putting more people to work, and improving our economy. All of those were accomplished. Minnesota now has a $1.3 billion surplus, and our unemployment rate is far below the national average. Tschumper tried to do nothing but raise everyone’s taxes – poor and rich – while he was in office. He did nothing but toe the line for Minneapolis liberals, and now suggests he’s more in touch with our district, despite allowing the Preston nursing home to close on his watch. Meanwhile, Governor Dayton and the DFL killed my bill this session that would have created more jobs than the stadium and the bonding bill combined, provided job credits for hiring veterans, assisted first-time home buyers and college students with loans, and provided thousands of residents and Main Street business owners with tax relief. This was a bill supported by small businesses and organized labor. And that’s corporate welfare in Kenny’s world? That’s out of touch with our district? Read the bill Ken, and try to show some objectivity. As an Obama/Dayton disciple, I realize your playbook consists of complaining about what’s been done in the past, while never offering any solutions of your own. It’s clear some things will never change, and Tschumper’s one of them. Sincerely, State Rep. Greg Davids Preston, MN

Letter about City of Rushford To the Editor, Open Letter to Rushford from City of Rushford Councilperson Vern Bunke: Because of work related travel, I missed the May 29th Council meeting and will also miss the June 11th meeting. I hate not attending because important decisions are being made. After being updated by the Administrator on the Library/City Hall projects, I have determined that I cannot support borrowing additional money for these projects as proposed 20 months ago, the Librarian and Library Board committed to the City Council that they would ask for ZERO ‘additional’ funding from the city. They would raise all the money needed for a new/refurbished building. At that point, the city had paid for two architectural studies and the initial failed fundraiser. Now, I am inclined to take them at their word. They can raise all the money they need, on their own. I think this is their accountability and responsibility to the City. I have stated that I am willing to support the use of unallocated FEMA (Community Center) funds for Library improvements. Additionally, the Muni-toCity Hall conversion seems too extravagant. I can see that it would be very nice by the conceptual drawing. However, I do not want to be associated with a million dollar City Hall when there are folks that lost homes, businesses and jobs. Folks that now face mortgages, rising utility fees and taxes, etc. Is there a way to adapt that building without having to borrow/ pay interest on $200,000? We must demonstrate to the public (taxpayers and others in the greater community) that we are doing more than just taxing and spending their money. My gut tells me that we have not thoroughly explored all options. We are doing expedient things, not the best or right thing, for the taxpayers. If you agree, let your Councilperson know. Vern Bunke Rushford, MN

Fillmore County Sports Baseball play-offs By Paul Trende From Five to Two Day one of the areas baseball post-season brought no surprises. In S-S 1AA East, it was ugly in Plainview. The top seeded PEM Bulldogs (17-3) ended 8-seed GMLOK’s rough season (1-20) with an 18-1 whooping (five innings). Jacob Rindels had one of GMLOK’s three hits, and their only RBI. In S-S 1A East, Chatfield (13-7) dispensed with Mabel-Canton (5-15) 11-1 in six innings. Leadoff man Jake Neis was active (2-2, 3B, RBI, 3 R, SB), Justin Viss saw the ball clearly (3-3, 3B, 2 RBI, R), and Nate Skare pitched three shutout nohit innings with 6 K’s in getting the win. Collin O’Bieglo (1-2, 2B) drove in the lone Cougar run. M-C ends their season at 5-16. Finally, in Rushford, the 4th-seeded Trojans (5-15) and 5th-seeded FC/L (5-141) played the lone competitive game. The Trojans got ahead 3-1 after three and prevailed 5-2 despite getting out-hit 10-7. Dalton Bellock (RBI) and Zach Ansell each had two hits for R-P. FC/L had a trio of players, Tyler Eickhoff (2-3, 2B, R), Jake

Ristau (2-4, RBI), and Zach Olstad (2-4, 2B) do the same, but their season ends at 5-15-1 (they tied with W-K 1-1 to end the regular season). Near Upset…Big 5th Those results set up 2-seed Chatfield (14-7) versus 3-seed Lewiston-Altura (15-6), and 4-seed R-P versus 1-seed Wabasha-Kellogg. The Trojans (6-15) scared the be-Jesus out of the Falcons (14-6-1). The teams traded runs in the 4th inning and, after seven-complete, were still deadlocked at one. In the bottom of the 8th, W-K got a leadoff single from Ryan Wolfe, a walk, and then a GW-RBI double by Hunter Baab to secure the win. Will Greenheck got the win (7 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 7 K, 1 BB). Austin Baab (3-3, 2B) and Andrew Kreye (2-2, 2B, RBI) led W-K’s offense. Ethan Wilkemeyer and Riley Vitse each went 2-4 for R-P. The senior Wilkemeyer pitched the entirety in defeat (8 H, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB). R-P’s finishes 6-16. In Chatfield, the Gophers and L-A remained deadlocked in another pitchers duel until the bottom of the 5th. Chatfield then got a pair aboard via

errors. Jake Neis singled to load the bases. Zach Eggers walked to plate the first run. Tyler Lund then blooped a hit/error off the right fielders glove, scoring another run. Nate Skare capped

the Sectional tournament. The weather was finally great (after a wet and cool softball tourney). The day began sunny, got overcast for a couple hours, before turning into a partly cloudy 70-plus degree afternoon. The limited clouds, and a small breeze, were refreshing breaks from the warm sun. The playing conditions were the only things ‘great,’ ‘sunny,’ and ‘refreshing,’ at least for Chatfield baseball fans. The 2-seeded Gophers (15-7) began with a third contest against top seed W-K (15-6-1) for the 1A East title. After one inning, the Falcons led 5-0 (Justin Hartert 3-run double). Icings were only added to the cake from there. Gopher pitching gave up eight hits and six walks (of which, four came around to score). The team committed (at least) three errors. Justin Viss and Skare had the only two Chatfield hits. Hunter Baab (wining pitcher; 5 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 6 K, 1 BB) ended the game with a two-run single in the 5th. The Falcons avenged a 4-0 loss with a 10-0 victory. The maroon and white then turned around and played, also drubbed in their first game (16-0 by Kenyon-Wanamingo),

1A West runner-up Southland (13-10). The Reb’s began with three straight hits, three first inning runs. Continue the daylong avalanche. The Reb’s stole six bases, pounded out eleven hits (the Gophers had just four), led by Mike Goergen (2-3, 3 SB, RBI, 3 R), Decker Bendtsen (3-4, 3 RBI, 3 R, SB), Ike Kloeckner (2-4, 3 RBI), and Lukas Anderson (5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 7 K, 0 BB). By a final of 9-0, Southland ended Chatfield’s 2012 campaign. The Gophers finish as 1A East runner’s up (15-9). All Good Things… The #10 Chatfield Gopher softball team began the week knowing they’d head to Austin for the Sectional ‘Final Four.’ After one day (victories over K-W and L-A), they were ecstatic, and headed back for day two. Had they somehow beaten 7th ranked (19-3) Blooming Prairie not once, but twice (per a one-loss versus zero-loss team in a double-elimination tournament), it would’ve been truly amazing, an outstanding fourgame two-day effort. Alas they did not defeat the Blossoms, the defending Section champs. They fell 3-1; were nixed of a trip to state, season brought to an end.Unlike their battles with K-W and L-A in

Austin, there weren’t any big hits. The two teams registered eight total. Only a couple balls were pounded with any authority. Pitching and errors were the big stories. Both hurlers, Shelbi Swenson for the Blossoms (7 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 8 K, BB) and Katie Jech (6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 4 K, BB) for the Goph’s held down opposing hitters. Defensively, it wasn’t just the three errors Chatfield committed; the Blossoms (critical) two-run 4th inning could’ve been a zero run inning, as a BP runner was dead to rights at home but instead of a catch and a tag, their was only a catch and loose ball; the third BP run also both reached and scored via errors. It was the three BP was saved from committing; a trio of times, BP first baseperson Julia Manges (who also had the lone Blossom RBI) dug out bad throws, saving her team from who knows what damage. The Gophers finish at 19-7. Standouts, pitcher Katie Jech (15-3), first base-person Tori Woltz (team leader 7 HR’s, 35 RBI’s), multi-position Sarah Costello (6 HR’s, 19 RBI’s), and pinch-hitter/right fielder Erin Bradt (two big post-season rips) have their senior years come to and end. They (the team) end(s) as Three Rivers South champs,

1A East runners up, and 1A runners up. Golf Sectionals: Four to State Only one county squad (the Lanesboro boys) made the Section 1A golf team final. Seventeen county individuals competed at sectionals and it was four Lanesboro girls that highlighted the action. The Lady Burros, 3rd place finishers in the SubSection 1A East meet by six strokes, played well enough at the section meet (379) that, had their four entrants participated as a team, they would’ve (outdone Lewiston-Altura’s 381 and) went to state. Kiah Halvorson (89), Paige Hungerholt (95), Johanna Bearson (96), and Bryn Harmon (100) were as masterful in windy conditions at Adams’ Cedar River Golf Course as anyone, finishing 1st, 2nd, 4th (tie), and 13th. The first three earned trips to state. It is the first time Halvorson has medalled this year. It’s Hungerholt’s 4th trip to state (10th place as a sophomore, 13th as a junior), Bearson’s first. Kingsland’s Karli Bly (104) finished 14th and FC’s Jessie Tammel (106) 16th. The Lanesboro boy’s team didn’t fair as well. They finished 3rd (374) behind BP (363) and W-K (322), who, led by medalist Fletcher Blaschko (76) and

second place finisher Alec Pierce (77), dominated the competition. Cory Strom’s 89 was the highest Burro score (not high enough for a state birth). Only FC’s Andy Todd earned that, amongst county male performers. His 82 was good enough for 5th, as BP’s Victor Peterson (81) and Houston’s Mitchell Beckman (81) rounded out the top five. Todd’s teammate, Mitch Johnson (86), missed a state trip by one stroke. Charlie Krambeer’s 94 was the highest R-P performer. Spencer Klevan (100) was the only Knight in action. Track Sectionals: Gopher Relay Rerun Three Chatfield Gophers, their sprint relay teams, and two R-P/H ‘thrower’s are heading to the state track meet. The Gopher girl’s 4x100 and 4x200 teams, comprised of senior Erin Kammer, sophomore Ashley Baker, 8th grader Autum Erickson, and freshmen Maddy Kammer, swept 1st in the short relays for the second straight year. The 4x100 got tough competition from Jillian Krieranchored Byron. The Bears won the preliminary heat, with the Gophers finishing second. Chatfield, anchored by Maddy See SPORTS Page 18 

Commissioners discuss options for Service Delivery Authority By Karen Reisner The question of whether or not to opt into the proposed twelve county southeast Minnesota Service Delivery Authority (SDA) was discussed at the county board’s June 5 meeting. The human services departments in southeast Minnesota have spent about two and one half years researching and analyzing the possible benefits of providing human services jointly. Accenture LLC has developed over the last six months the business case details and the human services operation model. Now, each of the twelve counties is being asked to declare their preliminary intent to establish the SDA or to opt out at the present time. In order to go on to the implementation plan it is necessary to know which counties intend to participate. The goal of the collaboration is to deliver services more efficiently, at less cost to the taxpayer. County Coordinator Karen Brown said on Monday they were handed new numbers or estimates of cost avoidance over the next five to fifteen years, if all the twelve counties formed the SDA. Chairman Tom Kaase said he didn’t like how things are changing. There is a question whether all the counties will experience a fiscal benefit. Kaase is concerned that the numbers early on

showed that the fiscal benefit by year five would be a negative for Fillmore County. Now the new figures show the fiscal benefit to continue for Fillmore County through year fifteen. There seemed to be some skepticism about the potential for savings. Even with the latest estimates, Winona County’s numbers show negative cost avoidance in the years after year twelve. Commissioner Duane Bakke said they have made a math problem out of it, adding that the dollars we have already saved on our own are not being taken into account. He added that once we move into the twelve -county SDA, we will only get the bill. Olmsted County will have about forty-eight percent of the governing control based on population; it will only take one or two other counties to go with them to have control over all twelve. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud agreed that he had concerns about the governing model. Amunrud went on to insist that smaller counties like Fillmore have a different set of needs, a different demographic. Some services provided by larger counties are not necessary in the smaller counties. He said what we are now doing is very efficient. Kaase noted Social Services Manager Gail Bunge has said

need to vote yes or no. Bakke discussed a rough draft of a resolution which would conclude that Fillmore County Board of Commissioners does not intend to establish a SDA with the proposed twelve county model, but rather develop a model that has a better chance of enactment. The board will probably make their decision next meeting after meeting with departmental staffs. Other Business In Brief •Emily Root was hired to a .8 FTE Public Health Nurse position. Kaase noted that the board continually looks at staffing needs before filling an open position. •The resignation of Catherine Ness, Office Support Specialist, was approved effective June 14. She is leaving to take another job. •The resignation to retire of Karol Krahn, Home Health Aide, effective August 1 was approved. A discussion about the home health aides ensued. Kaase said they want to keep the service, but he was concerned about a possible duplication of services. Brown said the aides are parttime employees and the number of them has been reduced in recent years. •The Board of Appeal and Equalization meets June 12 in the county board room at 6:30 p.m.

lation of 550,000. Commissioner Randy Dahl said the study has been very worthwhile and provided good information, but you have to have like counties to make it work. He added he was in favor of continuing redesign with surrounding counties, but he wasn’t in favor of going ahead with this twelve-county plan right now. Bakke said we need to get together with social service staffs of Fillmore and Winona Counties. Fillmore County shares a Community Services Director with Winona County. He asked what Winona County already provides that could be contracted by Fillmore County for less than from Olmsted County. He said he was not in favor of the twelvecounty SDA, but said we can opt out and still do something. He said the twelve-county SDA is too big and provides too much change. Commissioner Marc Prestby said he was not in favor of the twelve-county SDA, but would like working toward something with Winona County. Amunrud sits on the steering committee for the twelve county redesign. He explained there are Performance Measures that need to be met in 2013 in order to maintain state funding. Amunrud said this is the best model they could come up with for the twelve counties and we

no one is being denied needed services now. Fillmore County has been doing its own redesign in recent years where they improved efficiency by creating the Department of Community Services to provide an umbrella over Social Services, Veteran Services and Public Health. Amunrud maintained that if we join the SDA, the Community Services Department will have to be taken apart since the SDA model doesn’t include Public Health. He said we should look at a smaller model where counties have similar demographics and where there can be a blend of social services and public health. So far Fillmore County has invested about $10,000 in this venture for the twelve county SDA. If they opt in there will be significant costs with the next step, implementation of the model. The Bush Foundation which provided funds for the study, is to get repayment over time if the model is implemented. Kaase asked if we would be on the hook to help repay the Bush Foundation if we opt out. Amunrud said we would not. Each of the commissioners expressed a reluctance to opt into the twelve county SDA. Kaase said he didn’t see the benefit as it is a lot larger scale compared to what we have now. The twelve county SDA would serve a popu-

Krier and Maddy Kammer also dueled in the individual 200-meters. Krier (Byron) won the prelim. Kammer (Chatfield) won the finale (by .04 seconds). Maddy finished 5th last year. Gophers Kyndra Neis (Sr.) and Kayla Woltz (Jr.) also jumped on the state bandwagon. After finishing runner-up a year ago in the Shot Put, Neis won with year’s event with a 36’00 ½” throw. It’s her third state appearance in as many years. Woltz earned her first state birth courtesy of a runner-up finish in the 3,200-meter. Distance running juggernaut Emi Trost of Cannon Falls won the event, and the 1,600-meters, by 17 and 45 seconds respectively. Neis (4th Discus) and Woltz (3rd 1,600) also fared well in similar events. Other high Gopher finishers included Karen Gomez (5th 1,600 and 3,200), Ashley Baker (3rd 100-meters, qualified 2nd), Maddie Talamantes (3rd 300-hurdles, qualified 8th), Josh Johnson (5th 800-meters), Nick

Haffner (3rd 110-hurdles), Tyler Wondrow (5th High Jump), and Jayme LaPlante (5th Shot, 4th Discus). The R-P/H track and field program will also be represented at state. Seniors Adria Timm (R-P) and Hans Lundberg (Houston) won discus crowns. Timm’s win wasn’t a big shock. She’s been one of the better gal throwers in the area this season and proved it, tossing the weight nearly 8-feet (109’2”) further then her closet competitor (101’5”). Lundberg’s victory came a bit out of the blue. The 6’2” 215-pound Houstonite wasn’t out for track a year ago and began this season with throws under 100’. His sectional winning toss went 150’9”. R-P/H’s most heralded track and field athlete, Dalton Mensink, didn’t earn a state birth, but his performance, or performances are no less noteworthy. The senior competed in four events, finishing 3rd in the Long Jump, 7th in the 300-hurdles, and 7th in the 100 (didn’t qualify for the 200-meter finals). Tyler McLellan (5th Long Jump) and Dan Thorson (5th Triple Jump) also finished high for R-P/H. For L/FC, Gabe Decker tied for 3rd in the Pole Vault, and the 4x800 (Brandon Breitsprecher/Chris Collett/ Nathaniel Harrison/Erik Peterson) and 4x100 (Marcus Tucker/ Niko Anderson/Andrew Coyle/ Tanner Ristau) teams finished 4th and 5th respectively.

even on Google with that designation. Sidewalk Replacement At the May 21 meeting the council accepted a quote from Heath Mensink to rebuild the crumbling and leaning wall in front of city hall. Council members wanted more information before deciding whether to replace the sidewalk with pavers or concrete. The current concrete sidewalk was installed in 1996. Mensink said if the pavers were installed properly they could last 50 years. He noted pavers can move around more without cracking, saying the heaving of the concrete caused the cracks. Approval was given to install the pavers from the steps in front of city hall to the east side door. Other Business In Brief •City Administer Joe Hoffman updated the council on the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) grant request. Jeff Broberg asked the city to act as the fiscal agent for the grant application at an April 16 meeting. The applications are due by the end of June. No cost share is required.

Processing facility. In December 2011, the council rejected the purchase of the facility and lot with the grant funding. Two months later, the council terminated the plan for a new library entirely, instead voting to confine the library to the current Tew Memorial Building and opting for a remodel of the site. According to Library Director, that one move alone eliminated $45,500 gift donations, $74,000 in pledge donations, and $60,000 of inkind donations, a cumulative $179,500 that were specified for a new facility only. Wanting to keep the project moving, the city encouraged the board to seek potential renovation figures and River Architects

The Vesterheim Museum, of Decorah, Iowa, the single oldest, most complete museum in the country devoted solely to the NorwegianAmerican way of life, will be on hand, demonstrating along with Peterson’s own Boddy Pederson and Ray Kjos, of Rushford, as well as four, distinct artisans. The artisans, all members of the Nisse Rosemalers, who seek to preserve and promote the Scandinavian arts, will be featured beginning at 10am, Saturday, June 16, and continue until 4:30pm. Included is rosemaler Barb Hagelie, who took her first lesson in the late ‘70s. She’s been hooked on the detailed, decorative painting ever since. Hagelie crafts her art in the Rogaland style, featuring flowers, as opposed to scroll and leaf-heavy designs. The asymmetrical patterns showcase the flowers in opaque colors on dark backgrounds and utilize cross-hatching, dots, and teardrops in the finished work. Hagelie heads up the Rosemaling Shop at Nordic Fest and has won numerous champion awards for her efforts. Basket weaver Jean Schutte, a retired farm homemaker who started weaving more than 25 years ago,

will also be on hand to demonstrate her art. Having honed her skill in the Amana Colonies and from top midwest weavers, Schutte has passed on her love of weaving to numerous groups, including at the Vesterheim Museum, where her classes fill up immediately. In addition to basket weaving, Schutte is a skilled rosemaler and wood and chip carver. Artists Mary Althouse, another retired farm homemaker, was first introduced to working with wood back as a youth in the 4-H program. Today, Althouse’s love is the art of Kolrosing, a distinctive wood decorating method. The extensive process begins as a knife is pushed across the selected piece of wood, leaving a line. Then, ground coffee or walnut dust is finely pressed into the lines, after which the piece is sanded and sealed, leaving an intricate design. Last, but certainly not least, will be Bev Schrandt, a retired utility home economist and multi-talented artisan. Bev’s two main art expressions are wheat weaving and hardanger. Schrandt has been weaving wheat into beautiful creations since her oldest daughter was in 2nd grade and had a Scandinavian unit in school. She has taught every 2nd grader since in the last 30 years. Her woven ornaments can be seen throughout the midwest. Schrandt will also be showcasing her hardanger talents. The unique embroidery traditionally utilizes white thread on a white,

The Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has received funding from The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to offer assistance to farmers in the Root River watershed who are interested in seeding cover crops on corn silage and soybean acres. Anyone who is interested should contact the SWCD office at (507)765-3878, ext. 3 before July 10. Funds are limited, so producers are encouraged to get signed up early. Payment rates are $20/acre for first year participants and $15/acre for second year participants. Seeding must be completed by October 1 and maintained until spring planting. Producers in Watson Creek watershed between Fountain and Wykoff, Wisel Creek and Upper South Fork Root River watersheds between Harmony and Mabel, and RushPine watershed upstream of Rushford are also eligible for special federal funds for planting cover crops in 2012 and 2013. Cover crops are grasses, legumes, forbs, or other herbaceous plants established for seasonal cover and other conservation purposes. Cover crops “harvest more sunshine” and keep the land producing a crop beyond the row crop season. Winter rye works especially well because it germinates and grows quickly. It also grows late into the fall and early in the spring providing good ground cover during the time when the soil is

most vulnerable to erosion following harvest in the fall until a crop canopy forms in the spring. Even after it is tilled or controlled in the spring, the biomass in the roots helps reduce erosion until the crop canopy forms. Cover crops provide many other benefits besides erosion control. Carbon captured in the plant’s biomass and in the soil increases soil organic matter, which promotes water infiltration, increases soil moisture, and enhances root growth and earthworm activity to counteract compaction. Cover crops can reduce fertilizer and pesticide costs by capturing nitrogen, then slowly releasing it as the cover crop decays. The cover crop also retains phosphorus that is attached to the soil. Proper timing of cover crops suppresses weeds and breaks disease cycles. Cover crops can be a great source of supplemental forage that is grazed or harvested. Winter rye that is seeded on corn silage acres can be grazed the following spring, or even in the late fall if growing conditions are ideal. Spring grazing allows more time for forage in permanent pastures to become better established, and late grazing in the fall reduces feed costs and allows permanent pastures to recover before winter. Rye that is allowed to grow in the spring can also be harvested for silage.

even-count textile. “If you can count to five, you can learn Hardanger” encourages Schrandt, who is willing to share her hardanger secrets. “Artist in many forms will be present to demonstrate their skills and answer questions,” notes fest coordinator Gayle Boyum. “Bring your lawn chair and mover from artist to artist to take full advantage of this new feature of the fest!” Rosmaling, hardanger, woven baskets, chip carving, Kolrosing, and wheat weaving items will all be available to purchase during Saturday’s Gammel Dag festivities. If a toe-tapping event is more your style, Decorah, Iowa’s Nordic Dancers will bring traditional Norwegian dance to the streets of Peterson. The dancers, comprised of a junior and senior group, “help us remember the traditional folk dances of Norway.” The committed dancers audition as third graders and are in the junior group for five years prior to moving to the senior group. Begun in 1966, the groups have performed in various locations around the country and some have participated in tours abroad. The Nordic Orchestra, a group of talented youth musicians will accompany the dancers. Two performances are slated; 11:15am and 12:15pm, Saturday. For those more adventurous types, perhaps the Kubb games are more to your liking. The competitive outdoor game, ancient and dating back more than 1000 years, is “literally sweeping the world, known as the game for everyone.” The “romanticized” version of the game’s history claims it was devised by Vikings as a way to pass the time between pillaging. While this might be somewhat true, or at least give us a chuckle, the most agreed upon theories believe it did begin in Scandinavia, but that is was

likely created by woodsman using cutoff pieces of firewood, since Kubb literally translated means, “block of wood.” For those of you unfamiliar with the game, but still curious, a standard Kubb set is made of solid wood and consists of 21 pieces, including one king, four corner sticks, six throwing batons, and ten knights or Kubb blocks. The basics of the game are easy to grasp, even for the youngest of dullest wood block among us; knock over all of your opponent’s knights and then the king, using the throwing sticks. Anyone may participate in the Gammel Dag Kubb games or tournament, with teams having 2-6 members. Registration for the tournament

Lanesboro City Council hears audit report By Jade Sexton Jason Boynton from Smith Schafer & Associates presented the Lanesboro City Council with the 2011 Audit Report at their meeting on June 4. He said there were no real concerns, and the city is looking pretty good. According to Boynton, the unreserved fund balance in the General Fund is 67 percent of

the annual general fund expenditures. They like to see the amount be at least 50 percent. All of the debts are being paid off in a timely manner, and there was no new debt issued in 2011. LGA (local government aid) was decreased by 3.6 percent, but will remain the same in 2012. The Park and Recreation

The Preston Area Community Foundation recently awarded a $1000 grant to the Fillmore Central Community Education’s One Block At A Time Day Care for the purchase of new cribs. Normal wear and tear combined with the implementation of stricter safety standards necessitated the replacement of all eight infant cribs. The Foundation feels strongly that this type of project matches squarely with its mission of serving the greater Preston area by supporting programs and projects that improve the quality of life and build a stronger community. The Preston Area Community Foundation is a non-profit foundation. Donations to the Foundation can be sent to: PO Box 467, Preston, MN. 55965. Further information can be obtained by contacting Dwight Luhmann or Scott Rustad.

fund had a deficit balance of $75,432 due to capital projects and utility metering. Right now the Park and Rec. is in a separate fund, but Vickerman explained that with the new GASB 54 law, the city must determine why each fund is separate in their budget. She felt it would be easier to combine it with the General Fund, as it can still be tracked from there. The council approved the switch. Public Utilities Council member Joe O’Connor said the Public Utilities Commission interviewed three engineering firms at their recent meeting. They selected Davy Engineering do a study on the overall water system in Lanesboro. According to O’Connor, the study will look at usage, service zones, and summarize current deficiencies. They also discussed possible solutions to the radium issue with one of the wells. O’Connor said they are not at great risk right now, but have to be in compliance by August of 2014. One solution could be to modify the current rock formation, drill a new well, or blend water from 2-3 wells. A water treatment plan would be the worstcase scenario, as it would have considerable cost. O’Connor said they are also looking at funding sources. He said hiring Davy Engineering is

There was a ceremony on June 2 and there were generous donations made from local businesses for cement, plants, lights, a bench, and a large stone.

a good start to the project that could take 2-3 years. The cost for the complete analysis and study is $9,500. Vickerman wanted it to be clear that the sewer leak was under control, they are not pumping sewer into the river, and it had nothing to do with storm sewer issues that the Charlebois are having. Library Update Dave Hennesey and Tara Johnson spoke to the council about updates to the Lanesboro Public Library. Hennesey thanked the park board for the new signage that has been installed to direct people to the library and the city office. He added that they would be renovating the lobby by the end of the year. Circulation is moving in the right direction. Hennesey said they would like to average 2,000 visits a month, and right now they are averaging 1,780 a month. Johnson said the Rhubarb Run was a very successful event, with 152 people participating. She added they are working on a monthly poetry event and there are several summer reading events going on.

A View From The Woods By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011

Why the Rivers Turn Brown What runs through your mind when you glance at a creek or river near you, and the water looks like roiling chocolate milk? When I see muddy, murky water, my heart clenches in anger. It happens often. In fact, it happens every time it rains hard. “Riot of Soil Erosion Brings Shame.” That headline got my attention, especially coming from the executive editor of Successful Farming Magazine and Agriculture.com. John Walter took a Memorial Day trip through western Iowa and was shocked at the environmental calamity he saw from soil erosion gone totally out of control: In many fields the losses were easily visible from the highway as large gullies and soil deposits at the bottom of the fields. Newly planted crops were entirely washed away in places. Even on some of the better tended sloping soils--those with grass waterways, terraces and no-till--the damage was clear. Creeks looked like open sewers.

I get the fact that it rained, and it rained hard. But, this dramatic damage to the land pulls back the curtain of what’s been going on in the hills for a decade or more now. More and more, farmers are pushing to grow corn where it’s not possible in any kind of sustainable way. In the process, they’re destroying the soils, polluting the waters, and scarring the landscape. Some hillside corn fields, ones I remember as grass and timber not so long ago, are so god-awful steep that you wonder how a tractor and combine can even operate on them. I wanted to blame the government for not enforcing conservation compliance and sodbuster regulations. I wanted to blame certain farmers for abandoning their moral responsibility to care for the land for future generations. I wanted to blame local citizens for not applying peer pressure on their bad apple neighbors. But mostly, it felt shameful

Wilted Salad

Trust me, you’ll like this old-fashioned and easy way to eat your greens. The salad is just slightly cooked, with a sweet and sour tang. Cut four slices of bacon into quarter-inch slivers, and fry in a large saucepan. When bacon begins to brown, add 4 green onions, chopped. (Chives or garlic are optional.) Tear into large pieces one head of lettuce (or a similar amount of spinach, young kale, bok choy or chinese cabbage greens.) Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings; or add oil if necessary. Add 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt and pepper. Heat the dressing. Add the greens to the pan and stir for a minute until the greens are half wilted. Serve at once, with a hard boiled egg. Serves 4.

Monday, June 11, 2012 yesterday to be associated with agriculture, and I was ashamed of myself as much as anything. Walter was referring to the Loess Hills of Iowa, with steep slopes and loose soils. Yet, evidence of severe erosion is all around us in Fillmore County. Many have tuned it out or just don’t see it. Think of the whole system: rainstorm to farm fields to erosion to rivers. That is why the rivers turn brown, and then slowly clear up again as the sediment drops out or runs to the Mississippi River. Hard rains are completely predictable from snowmelt through July, when farm fields once again grow a crop to shield bare soil from the elements. It is hard to believe, but rich, productive topsoil becomes pollution when it muddies the waters, often carrying fertilizer and pesticides with it. There are plenty of careful, conservation-minded farmers in this area. Some families have been protecting the hillsides for generations by keeping forest or pasture in place so roots hold the soil. Others grow crops and they include hay in their rotations or use readily available conservation practices such as grassed waterways and planting directly into stubble without disturbing the soil. Free conservation information, technical assistance and money in the form of grants, cost-sharing and low-interest loans is waiting for any farmer willing to stop in at the Fillmore County Soil and Water Conservation office in Preston. Yet the rivers don’t lie. Too many farmers allow erosion to happen. The shame of despoiling our rivers has become become dulled by generations seeing it happen over and over. It seems almost normal. And now the temptations are even greater, with government policies that cover your risks if you grow corn, and high prices rewarding every last bushel of corn and beans. Such intense production can be sustainable on the right land with aggressive conservation, but it is not sustainable if the rivers turn brown.
