Beating the heat this summer

By Jade Sexton

jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com

This spring and summer have shown many record-breaking temperatures in Minnesota, and we recently had a long string of days with highs in the 90s, with high humidity. What does this mean for power companies and utility bills?

Tri-County Electric covers rural areas of Fillmore, Houston and Winona Counties. Brad Pecinovsky is a member of the marketing team at the Rushford office.

“This summer has been hotter than usual so far,” said Pecinovsky.

“With the prolonged heat and humidity that goes along with it, air conditioning gets used a lot more.”

Tri-County has not seen any major problems yet this summer due to the high heat, but they make several recommendations to people to keep their costs down and to conserve energy and still keep cool.

Using your air conditioning effectively is key, according to Pecinovsky. “Have your system serviced every couple of years,” he suggested. “Make sure it is running at peak efficiency, change out air filters, set the thermostat higher.”

Pecinovsky said even setting the thermostat a few degrees higher will make a big differ-

ence. “You save about three percent per degree that you can adjust your thermostat. That’s in a 24-hour period.”

Ceiling fans and other fans

can be helpful, but only if you are in the room while using them. If they are running in an unoccupied room, energy is being wasted.

Some people use window air conditioner units, and keeping those clean is also important to their efficiency. Pecinovsky noted that it also helps if you have the ability to shut off parts of the house and cool only one

or two rooms. Fans can be used to move cooler air to another room. It also makes a difference if you purchase an Energy Star rated air conditioner.

As for other hints, houses can be kept cooler by closing blinds and shades during the day, avoiding cooking inside by using microwaves or grilling outside, and running appliances such as dishwashers later in the evening.

Another thing that not many people think of is the lighting in the house. “An incandescent bulb puts out a lot of heat,” said Pecinovsky. He recommends using LED or compact fluorescent bulbs instead, which will also save energy costs.

The kinds of problems power companies can run into during the summer months are when transformers are overloaded from so many air conditioners running. Preston recently experienced a brief power outage during a long stretch of hot and humid weather.

Joe Hoffman, City Administrator and Utility General Manager, said the heat was indirectly to blame for the 25-minute outage. “There was a failure at Generator number five, which tripped a main breaker at the power plant,” he explained. He added that the generators were

Personnel issues dominate county meeting

By K aren R eisner kreisner@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, who was at home due to an injury, participated by phone during the county board discussion of a number of personnel issues at the July 10 meeting.

It was acknowledged that Engineering Tech Sr. Darrell Schmitt had declined an offer to reclassify his position to that of an Engineering Technician Supervisor which would have been an upgrade. This day the board discussed whether or not to provide “out of classification pay” to compensate him for the work he is doing in addition to his usual duties detailed in his present job description.

County Coordinator Karen Brown said the county’s policy allows no more than a five percent increase for out of classification pay. Commissioner Duane Bakke was concerned this would open up the discussion of whether there should be an Assistant

Engineer.

Commissioner Randy Dahl insisted it would just be a temporary fix until after the new County Engineer is hired. Commissioner Marc Prestby felt they had tried to address it and he turned them down. The board approved the out of classification pay with Prestby voting no.

Two positions in the Zoning Department will be sent to Bjorklund for classification. The current position of Feedlot Officer/ Assistant Zoning Officer will be changed to Feedlot Zoning Technician. A separate position of Assistant Zoning Officer which will include office support work will be established to replace the current position of Zoning Office Support. This person will have one year to become certified for Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS) inspections. It was noted that Cristal Adkins has already been doing the work of an Assistant Zoning Officer.

The Jack Brass Band in Chatfield July 19 On Thursday, July 19, the Chatfield “Music in the Park” series will bring the sound of high energy New Orleans Jazz to park when the Jack Brass Band performs at 7:30 p.m.

The concert is rain or shinethe alternative site will be the Chatfield Elementary School.

Brass bands thrive in New Orleans and all have a distinct up-tempo Mississippi Delta sound rooted in classic jazz. It’s this music, which came of the birth of jazz from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, that Mike Olander listened to in high school when he was learning to play brass music. It stuck with him as he played in bands and, eventually, when he and a few other brass musicians started the

Jack Brass Band in 1999.

As the only New Orleans style brass band in Minneapolis, they are the ambassadors of the Crescent City’s brass band tradition. Formed in 1999, the Jack Brass Band embraces the traditions of New Orleans jazz, at the same time adding old time blues, rock, hip-hop, pop, funk and reggae. Following this recipe, they bring to the table an overflowing plate of greasy down-home music for your soul. “The band was set up to play New Orleans-style music,” said Olander, who will bring his band from the Twin Cities to play in Chatfield. “Since then we¹ve developed a deeper understanding of the music and are more deeply rooted in the

New Orleans tradition.”

The crack of the snare drum, the blat of the sousaphone, the blaring brass over it all tells you that the Jack Brass Band is an infectious machine, one that drives crowd to their feet and commands them to groove. The Jack Brass Band has been stirring up the Minneapolis scene with celebrated performances at many different events and functions. From Aquatennial and Grand Old Days parades to festival appearances at Jazz Winnipeg and 10,000 Lakes Music Festival and the Minnesota State Fair to performances at many clubs including the Cabooze, First Avenue, Jazzmine’s, O’Gara’s, 400 Bar, and Fine Line Music Café.

“If you like your gumbo spicy and your music hot, check out the Jack Brass Band,” said Wynton Marsalis after hearing them.

The Chatfield Commercial Club will be serving up food from 6:00-7:30. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a beautiful summer evening of great music in the Chatfield City Park.

lot officer is expected to be out for the rest of the year. Zoning Administer Chris Graves is the only one in the zoning department that is certified to do SSTS inspections. Graves said if they need help with SSTS inspections they can ask SWCD. Donna Rasmussen confirmed that they have two people that are certified at this time.

Kristina Kohn updated the board on its search for a County Engineer to replace the retiring John Grindeland. She said she rewrote the postings and so far they have one additional applicant.

Other Business In Brief •SWCD Engineering Technician Anne Koliha will be doing interim feedlot services during the Feedlot Officer’s absence.

Rasmussen said there was a similar agreement for services for about two and one half months in 2007. Koliha will fulfill those duties and compensation from the county will be given on an hourly basis. Her additional duties will involve permitting and compliance, including Conditional Use Permits. Bakke noted that she would also be working with Steve Schmidt

of MPCA. Koliha said she will do the review and the checklist and Graves will sign the permit.

The board approved going into an agreement to contract with SWCD for the work.

•Tim Penny, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, reported on their activities over a twenty-county region in southern Minnesota over the past year.

Fillmore County Journal welcomes new graphic designer

By Jade Sexton Kim Sapp comes from Le Center, Minnesota originally, but currently lives in Chatfield.

In May she graduated from Kim Sapp Winona State, where she majored in Advertising and minored in Sociology. When a friend told her about the job opening as a graphic designer at the Fillmore County Journal, she knew it was exactly what she was looking for.

“I really like design,” Sapp shared.

“You get to show a little of your personality, meet new people, and experiment.”

In the near future, Sapp would like to find a place to live in Preston so she can be closer to work. As for future plans, Sapp would love to be working in advertising and marketing in a big city. She also loves to travel, and would enjoy having that as part of her career.

Sapp is now working full-time at the office in Preston doing what she loves to do, and she is enjoying it so far.

“I’m happy to be here,” said Sapp.

“I’m happy to learn and have this experience.”

C ommentary Republicans not always conservative

By Stan Gudmundson If the political horse you have been riding has faltered and finally croaked, it is a classic technique to shoot at the other guy’s political horse rather than drawing attention to the rotting carcass you are still astride. This is the situaCol. Stan tion liberals Gudmunson today find themselves in.

There is hardly a cotton-pickin’ thing they have created “for our own good” that they can point to that has been successful.

Oh, they’ll whine about the environment and civil rights and things of that nature, but those issues are bipartisan and conservatives can take pride in their support for much of the success in these areas. Liberals don’t own them, although they claim to.

What liberals can do though is lay claim to being sob sisters of the highest order. They do own that, and conservatives should never attempt to compete in that area. We will never out-sob the sob-sisters.

Compassionate conservatives indeed.

Liberals, along with some others unfortunately, also take the label of Republican and attempt to connect it to conservatism and apply it to anyone, especially presidents, who were ever Republicans. It has to do with an ignorance of history or perhaps a willful disregard for the facts.

A writer for example called Nixon a conservative. The president Nixon most admired?

Woodrow Wilson. That ought to give you hint. What Nixon did though was create the EPA Editorial Cartoon

and OSHA. Contrary to the advice of his economic advisors, he took us off the gold standard, instituted wage and price controls, and caused the devaluation of the dollar. Among other things, he wasn’t able to balance a budget, more than doubled Medicaid spending, spent less on defense than on social spending, and introduced “Earth Day.” Earth Day is the same date as Lenin’s birthday, isn’t it? Economist Milton Friedman said Nixon was the worst president of this lifetime.

Then there are the Bushies.

Conservative? Not hardly. When Bush the first was elected after Reagan, his new administration made it very clear where they were going from the beginning.

The word was “no conservative need apply” for any position in the new Bush administration.

Then there is Bush two.

Republican yes, conservative no. He got a tax cut, but how many vetoes did you use to rein-in a profligate spending congress? Just twelve. Made Bill Clinton’s budgets look like Clinton was the conservative.

He did that by increasing the budget by 104 percent during his tenure while Clinton’s only rose by 11 percent. He almost doubled our national debt. Bush increased discretionary spending by almost 50 percent and added 30 percent more federal subsidy programs.

Total when he left office? 1,816.

Remember when he nominated the very unqualified Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and then we got John Roberts? TARP, Bush said, “abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system...to make sure the economy (didn’t) collapse.”

More? Lots more but the upshot of this is that these three were not conservatives

and never were. Given what I have written, one could ask does this mean that I agree with the writer who is still astride and flogging the way-dead liberal horse? On one level yes. I would agree that all in all they were not terribly good presidents.

This same writer concludes they weren’t able presidents because they were conservative.

The evidence however, shows that they weren’t all that great because they were not conservative. That is why many conservatives who will vote for Romney in November are very, very nervous about him. His conservative credentials are suspect, very much like Nixon’s and Bushy’s I and II were.

Why so nervous? Because it is the politics and policies of people like these three, along with the usual liberal suspects that have put us in a disastrous and dangerous position. In a very minor way, we can minimally excuse them because, as Senator Jim DeMint says of an article written by Jay Cost, “the stunning economic growth in the postwar era ‘liberated policy makers from having to make hard choices. The people could have guns, butter, and low taxes - all thanks to a private economy that seemed to grow regardless of what government did.’”

DeMint goes on to say that, “Today...the private economy is pinned under the jackboot of big government. There’s no more room for compromise...

(Compromise has resulted in) almost always bigger more expensive government...The creation of our $15 trillion debt is the single most extreme action ever undertaken by the US government.”

We are in trouble. All of us to include liberals, libertar-

ians, Democrats, Republicans, RINOs, and conservatives have to face reality. Our debt is now closer to $16 trillion or more, and we have unfunded liabilities of at least $99.4 trillion. In addition, we are adding more to those unfunded liabilities at a rate of about $10 trillion a year.

Congressman Paul Ryan notes that, “This coming debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we’ve ever had in this county.”

In Greece there are 100 grandparents for every 42 grandchildren. Their demographic

pyramid is upside down. It is inconceivable to believe that these 42 grandchildren have a decent future that includes supporting their grandparents as well as having promising careers and families of their own. Moreover, it is nothing short of immoral to consider it.

And it is immoral for us as well as fiscally insane to spend so as to relegate our children and grandchildren to penury.

Letter about electric use To the Editor, Why should reduce your electric use between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.?

Tri-County Electric Cooperative (TEC) encouraged members to “power down” in June. This month we’re asking you to do the “summer shift.”

Why would we want you to reduce your electric use? We are a cooperative, owned by members.

Our goal is to make sure that when you flip a switch, electricity is there and it is affordable.

Three major factors affect the price of electricity: the price of fuel to generate power, the cost to comply with environmental regulations and the demand for power.

TEC’s wholesale electricity provider created a rate structure to reflect cost savings for using less electricity during high demand times. There isn’t an energy shortage. It simply costs a lot more for electricity when demand is high because all available resources must be used to generate power, not just the most economic resources. Just under 70% of TEC’s operating budget goes towards purchasing wholesale power. Avoiding demand times is a significant cost saving measure.

TEC members, along with our wholesale power members (cities of Caledonia, Eitzen, Harmony,

Lanesboro, Mabel, Rushford, Spring Grove, Peterson and Whalan), can help keep electric rates affordable by either conserving energy or shifting the time of electric use this summer.

During June, July and August, this region’s power costs are highest Monday through Friday between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

What can you do to help? To start, try delaying the dishwasher, turning up the thermostat and shifting the start of laundry. Also be conscientious of electric use for computers, TVs and gaming systems during this timeframe. And turn off any unneeded lights and electronics.

We have the potential to save hundreds of thousands of dollars by reducing electric use Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the summer, which means smaller and/or less frequent electric rate increases in the future.

C ommentary Welcome to Bear Country

By Jason Sethre On the morning of Friday, July 6, the Journal office was buzzing about the black bear discovered at the Fillmore Central Elementary School. No, it wasn’t someone dressed in a bear costume. That did cross my mind, Jason Sethre initially.

This was the real deal. A black bear was slowly meandering about the football field, baseball field and soccer field. Apparently, a bit of sports fan, maybe even a Falcons fan, this black bear was heading up towards The Branding Iron for lunch. I don’t blame the furry black bear for seeking a fine dining experience within the confines of air conditioning.

I was upstairs at the SMG Web Design office when I received my first text regarding the black bear at the school. By the time I scrambled to the bottom of the stairway to the Journal office, Gabby Gatzke and Jade Sexton were already out the door with a digital camera hot on the trail of our furry friend.

I also jumped in my vehicle and headed in the same direction. I contacted members of local law enforcement to see what they knew. I soon found out that everyone was looking for this elusive black bear. It made a guest appearance just long enough to draw attention and then disappeared into the woods behind The Branding Iron. I figured the Preston Golf Course patrons should know there may be a black bear heading their way, so I headed to the club house.

Along with a few golfers, I was greeted by the course and clubhouse manager Jay Harstad.

I told Jay about the black bear sighting, and said, “Oh yeah, the bear was up on hole number four yesterday.”

“What? Are you serious?” I said.

“Yeah, Tim Bremseth was coming up on green number three and noticed the bear when he was about 30 feet away. When he exclaimed to his golfing partners that there was a bear, it took off, climbing through the barbed wire fence and off into the pasture.” explained Jay. OK, it’s not every day that you see a black bear in our region, let alone on a golf course. What kind of club do you use for that hazard?

Fortunately, Kelli Jo Dornink was quick enough to capture a photo and video of the black bear in motion on the Fillmore Central practice fields, which has gone viral with Facebook. Thanks Kelli Jo! We have included the same video she captured from that sighting with my commentary appearing online at www. fillmorecountyjournal.com in the commentary section, in case

you missed it on Facebook.

It was funny when I picked up Olivia and Landon, our children, at the Fillmore Central daycare and SAC program, and they were telling me all about the bear outside their school.

They were pretty excited. On the car ride home, I told them that maybe Fillmore Central would need to change their mascot from the Falcons to the Bears.

They didn’t like that idea, so I guess we can strike that for any future consideration.

We all know how hot we were with those record-breaking temperatures in the high 90s.

Now imagine wearing a fur coat throughout all of that exhausting heat. My guess is that was on the mind of that poor black bear. And, just like with my black car, I’m sure that dark fur attracts heat like a solar panel. I can’t imagine a hot and bothered black bear is a happy bear.

What’s most interesting about our recent black bear sightings is that nobody can really tell how many there are. One day, we’ll hear about the black bear visiting the Canton area, as noted in my recent commentary with the photo captured on the camera of a cell phone of an Amish person riding in their horse and buggy. Then, another day, we’ll hear about the elusive black bear appearing in Northeast Iowa.

Next, Peterson, then the northern tip of Spring Valley, and back in Preston again. There’s no way one black bear could be so welltraveled.

This black bear has some friends on the move.

Of course, there are many rumors about where these black bears are coming from, and I think it is important to dispell as much rumor as possible.

First, in a phone interview with the DNR, they have indicated

The leaves stay green until late in the color season. Then they suddenly turn brownish and then fall off into big piles.

However, after our long lingering fall last year they turned a yellowish hue.

I love this tree. It provides shade in the front of my house and it has grown to a substantial size in a decade in a half, so that it nearly covers the front of my house.

Unlike most other homeowners, I use part of my front yard as a living space. There is a curved foot and a half foot high planter that borders a patio area, which is adjoined by a front yard deck.

My husband and I enjoy sitting on this deck in the evenings. He especially loves this space on a Friday, his favorite night of the week. The tree shelters the view of our outdoor living space from the outside world and gives the feeling of separation from the

wide expanse of asphalt in our cul-de-sac.

But there is streetlight located on the far corner of our driveway. This beacon has been an irritation for years in the otherwise joyous time relaxing on our front deck in the dark. We have discussed how some day a branch from the tree might cover the light and we’d visually measure how long it could take.

In the mean time, he would threaten sabotaging the light.

This summer a branch finally reached out far enough to filter the light’s intruding rays.

Yes! It is tempting when choosing a tree for one’s front yard to choose something cutesy like a cluster of white or river birches or a variegated or purple maple. Personally, I would never choose such a tree.

For one reason, birches have a shorter life span than an elm, a linden, an oak or a thornless honeysuckle tree.

Choose something that will grow on and on and become a

A plea for a tree

By Iris Clark Neumann When building a new house, the most important landscaping element to plant is a tree. Shrubbery landscaped and mulched foundation plantings are fine, but they Iris Clark will never Neumann add as much value to your home or protection as a tree will.

I have a maple with dark green leaves in my front yard.

Because I live in a cul-de-sac, the pie-shaped nature of the lot allows only enough space for this single tree in the front yard. The backyard is another story. (It is a jungle of pines, spruces, crab apples, white poplar and a willow.)

My maple has never rewarded me with beautiful fall color.

they have not moved nuisance bears down to this region for a long time. They have stopped moving nuisance bears from northern Minnesota to southern regions of the state because those bears just seemed to become nuisance bears elsewhere. So, these are not nuisance bears dropped off in our region by the DNR. Second, a few years ago, I read an interesting article in USA Today about the number of black bears in the United States. Minnesota was ranked first with over 30,000, Montona was second with 20,000, and California was third with 10,000. So, we have the largest population of black bears of any state in the U.S. Third, hunters throw their names in the hat to hunt black bears up in northern Minnesota in what can be best described as a lottery permit system. In 2010, hunters killed roughly 5,000 black bears in Minnesota, and an estimated 2,200 in 2011. But, did you know that in our part of this great state, according to the DNR, it’s open season year-round for hunting black bears? Yes, but you still

need a no-quota permit. So, put down your Smart Phone with the 10 megapixel digital camera and pick up your loaded .280 Remington. We’re goin’ on a bear hunt – we’re gonna catch a big one!

Lastly, there’s talk that these bears are swimming across the Mississippi from Wisconsin in search of mates and a new territory. Of course, I can’t help but think that these bears are leaving Packer country to be closer to good, wholesome Viking fans.

Who knows what’s going on with all of these black bear sightings in our area? Maybe Russ Dahlke is right. As Russ said in his post on Facebook in response to Gabby Gatzke’s announcement about the black bear sighting at Fillmore Central, “I don’t know why everyone is worried.

It’s obvious with the heat going on and the lack of rain that they are just on patrol for forest fires.”

Clever. And, who knows, he may be right.

A black bear on the practice field of Fillmore Central in Preston.

Photo by Kelli Jo Dornink strong force in your front yard.

Consider planting a Kentucky coffeetree—it grows slowly at first, but in the end becomes a very grand tree. I remember the two beautiful Ohio buckeyes that were planted in my grandparents’ front yard. There’s an older two-story house in my town that is framed by grand towering black walnut trees.

Although I have a maple, if I was choosing today I would stay away from a maple as in recent years, they have not proven to be a tree with longevity. Too many maples have been planted and they form

a heavy percentage of trees planted in towns.

Some trees should never be planted in a front yard or as boulevard trees. Pines, spruces and weeping willows do not belong in the limited space of a city front yard.

Emergency generator for the Thurber Municipal Building

By Karen Reisner Dan Jaquith explained to the Chatfield City Council at their July 9 meeting that four proposals had been received from electrical contractors to install an emergency generator in the city municipal building.

The low bid from Southeast Electric, Inc., Chatfield, was accepted. Seventy-five percent of the total of $53,978.36 for the 150 KW generator and

related expenses will be paid with a FEMA grant; the balance of about $13,500 will be paid by the city out of it’s General Fund.

Fire Bell City Clerk Joel Young reported that Fire Chief Keith Bradt and the department want to make some improvements to the historic fire bell display. A design was presented at a Public Services Committee. It was

proposed to remove the existing planter and replace it with a memorial. The plan was to raise funds for the improvements by selling pavers with names engraved, sponsoring a raffle, and by asking for support from local service organizations.

Young said they didn’t plan to use pull-tab revenue or tax dollars for the estimated $15,000 cost. There were questions about the history of the installation of

Health officials urge Minnesotans to take steps to prevent illness from swimming this summer Germs on and in swimmers’ bodies can make people sick; action steps can prevent illness As temperatures rise and Minnesotans flock to swim at their favorite beaches and pools, state health officials are reminding residents of steps they can take to help prevent recreational water illnesses this summer.

“Germs on and in swimmers’ bodies end up in the water and can make other people sick,” said Trisha Robinson, an epidemiologist specializing in waterborne diseases with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

“Even healthy swimmers can get sick from recreational water illnesses, but the young, elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems

are especially at risk.”

The best way to prevent recreational water illnesses is to keep germs out of the water in the first place. Swimmers can take an active role in protecting themselves and other swimmers.

Follow these steps for a safe and healthy swimming experience: •Don’t swim when you have diarrhea.

•Don’t swallow pool or lake water.

•Practice good hygiene.

Shower with soap before swimming.

•Wash your hands thoroughly after using the toilet or changing diapers.

•Take children on bathroom breaks or change diapers often.

•Change diapers in a bath-

room, not at poolside or beachside.

From 2000 to 2011, 24 swimming pool outbreaks and 15 beach outbreaks were identified in Minnesota, resulting in over 900 people who became sick.

The most common symptom of recreational water illness is diarrhea, which frequently is severe enough to result in hospitalization. Symptoms may not begin until a week or more after swimming.

The parasite Cryptosporidium, one of the most common waterborne disease agents, is a chlorine-resistant parasite that can survive and be transmitted even in a properly maintained pool. So practicing healthy swimming behaviors is especial-

the planter and the proposal for names on the pavers. Councilor Paul Novotny asked if some past firefighters names would be on the pavers and others would not? Also, will the names be on the pavers for just the life of the pavers? Novotny said he wanted to preserve the bell, but maybe it would be better for the city to contribute.

Councilor Josh Thompson was also concerned about who

would be recognized and maybe it would be better to find other ways to get funds and recognize everybody.

The council decided it should be looked into more, but approved the location and the concept.

Other Business In Brief •The expenditure of about $2,500 was approved to repair a sluice gate or valve for flow control.

•A slate of nine election judges was approved for the upcoming elections.

ly important for preventing this illness.

If warm weather persists such that water temperatures climb into the 80s, swimmers should be aware of a different but rare kind of risk. The ameba Naegleria fowleri multiplies in stagnant freshwater lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers when water temperatures exceed 86 degrees F. It causes a very rare but fatal infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis. This infection happens when Naegleria gets in the nose and travels to the brain. Forty cases were reported in the United States from 2001 through 2011. The only confirmed case of this infection in Minnesota was reported in August of 2010.

“The risk of infection from Naegleria in Minnesota is very low,” Robinson said. “Swimming is a very healthy sum-

mertime activity and we do not want to discourage people from swimming. Rather, simply avoid swimming, diving or other activities in obviously stagnant water when temperatures are high and water levels are low,” she said.

Some additional precautions you can take while swimming during extremely warm periods include keeping your head out of the water, using nose clips or holding the nose shut, and avoid stirring up sediment at the bottom of shallow freshwater areas.

Calling all aspiring farmers and everyone who eats meat Lanesboro, MN – Consider this hot question concerning the future supply of beef, chicken and pork: Is it really possible to live a happier, healthier lifestyle and, at the same time, save the family farm, raise animals humanly, reduce your carbon footprint and continue to eat meat?* The documentary film American Meat <http://www. americanmeatfilm.com/our_ documentary> offers an array of affirmative answers. This upbeat yet realistic film looks at innovations and attitudes that are changing farm practices and prospects across the country.

On Friday, July 20 at 7:30 pm, the St. Mane Theatre in Lanesboro will show the justreleased documentary American Meat. (Also showing soon in many more locations in Minnesota <http://www. americanmeatfilm.com/find_a_ screening> including Rochester, Winona, Wykoff, Edina, St. Paul and St. Cloud.) The evening begins with a tasting of

Pet of the Week

Rosie

samples of locally raised meat at 6:30 at Lanesboro Local Marketplace. Next, across the street at 7:30 the St. Mane will host a showing of American Meat. Following the film, Paul Wiens of Misty Meadows Farm <http://www.mistymeadowfarms.com/index.html> in Pine Island will draw on his experiences to lead a discussion of small-scale animal farming.

This event is free, donations welcome to cover film showing fee.

The film American Meat presents positive, realistic and inventive ways to make a go of raising chicken, beef and pork for America’s dinner tables. It invites anyone and everyone – and young people especially – to consider becoming a happy, healthy, sustainable small-scale

farmer. The film profiles several successful farmers (including Chuck Wirtz of West Bend, IA and Joel Salatin of Omnivore’s Dilemma fame) who, against difficult odds, have invented practical ways to provide pastured meat to the American public and still keep their heads above water. These farmers, like so many in southeastern Minnesota, have farmed their whole lives. They love the work that they do and love the animals they raise. The 82-minute documentary addresses the concerns of conscientious meat eaters as well as those who question the ethics or environmental impact of the choice to eat meat. The film highlights the struggles of the conventional meat farmer and offers insight into alternative models that will revolu-

tionize the meat industry in our country.

Guest discussion leader Paul Wiens mentored Catherine Friend, Zumbrota author of books on the farming experience including The Compassionate Carnivore. “Paul shows up in both Hit By A Farm and Sheepish,” said Friend. “He and his wife Lela … taught us about grazing. They currently raise Scottish Highland cattle and sell at the Rochester Farmers’ Market. He runs a no-till drill operation, and sells kelp to sustainable farmers.

Rehearsals begin for The Last Boy in Blue Wits’ End Theatre is pleased to announce that the 2012 Western Days play The Last Boy in Blue has been fully cast and is in rehearsal at the Chatfield Center for the Arts!

The Last Boy in Blue is a new play that tells a story of the first 24 hours of Minnesota’s 1862 Dakota War. As it happens, the first soldiers to meet Chief Little Crow and his Dakota warriors in battle on August 18, 1862, were from Chatfield and Preston. In command of Fort Ridgely and its garrison of Fillmore County

farmboys and store clerks-turnedsoldiers during that first 24 hours was a 19-year-old second lieutenant from Chatfield named Tom Gere. The Dakota were making a last, desperate attempt to reclaim their hereditary homeland from white expansion. Tom Gere and his 30 young soldiers at Fort Ridgely stood in their path. Fort Snelling and reinforcements were a hundred miles away. It is a fascinating true tale that we call “Minnesota’s Unforgettable Forgotten Story.” August 8, 9, 10, and 11 that story will come to

life on the stage of Potter Auditorium in Chatfield.

This is a big story, and a big cast is needed to tell it. Forty-five actors and actresses are taking part in this show. Twenty-three men and boys will play the soldiers of Company B, Fifth Minnesota Infantry—the “Fillmore County Boys”—posted at Fort Ridgely that summer. “We were a little concerned whether enough guys would audition for us to be able to fill the ranks of Company B,” says Joe Chase, who is directing The Last Boy in Blue. “Men

and boys are usually the underrepresented demographic at our try-outs. But we did some recruiting—just like Beecher Gere and Josiah Marsh did in Chatfield and Preston in 1862—and we have our troops.”

Costuming such a large cast is no small expense for a community theatre, particularly when the show is an historical “costume drama,” and half the cast must be dressed in authentic-looking military uniforms. “We would not have been able to do this play,” says Chase, “were it not for a $6,200 Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage grant we received for the specific purpose of costum-

ing this show.” This grant program, made possible by the 2008 Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, is administered by the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council. “We are very grateful to the people of Minnesota and to SEMAC for this indispensable financial help that will allow us to bring a great local story to the stage in Chatfield,” Chase says.

Tickets for The Last Boy in Blue go on sale July 5 at the Potter Auditorium Box Office in Chatfield and on-line. For more details, go to the Wits’ End website at witsendtheatre.org.

Re-dedication of the O’Hara School A re-dedication of the O’Hara School will be held on Wednesday, July 25 at 2:00 p.m. in the schoolhouse located on the Fillmore County Fairgrounds.

A short program will be held and refreshments served.

Or you can visit the restored schoolhouse anytime during the Fillmore County Fair. The school will be open starting at 5 p.m.–8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24; Wednesday–Friday, July 25–27, from 12 noon– 9:00 p.m.; and Saturday, July 28, from 1:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

The Preston Historical Society operates the schoolhouse on a lease from the Fillmore County Agricultural Society.

The Preston Historical Society has been very active in working to restore the O’Hara School House. The restoration that has been completed includes the reroofing using cedar shakes.

Also restored at the same time was the bell tower. This was financed by fundraising from the 2010 Historical Society raffle, O’Hara School alumni and other donations.

The interior has been repainted for an Eagle Scout project by a Ben Voigt, a member of the Preston Boy Scout Troop 67. Funding for this part of the restoration came as part of the scout’s fundraising effort for his Eagle project.

The exterior painting was accomplished with donated paint through efforts of the Preston Lumber Company.

The painting work was done by the Sentence to Serve work crew.

on sidewalks. Once I had a summer job where I mapped and counted all the elms on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota. The planning department expected Dutch elm disease to be eminent in the early 1970s and wanted to be prepared.

Many towns suffered from the loss of these trees and sometimes in desperation quick-growing trees like cottonwoods or silver maples were planted instead. Years later, these trees give landscape trees a bad rap with their aggressive roots and branches falling during storms.

Currently, there is another threat to our tree population as the green ash was planted in mass to compensate for the dying elms. Although there has

been vigilance in keeping the Emerald Ash Borer at bay, it seems as if it is only a matter of time before large numbers of them will die, as they have in more eastern states and in areas of the Twin Cities.

Fortunately, some new elm cultivars have been developed that are resistant to Dutch elm disease. Oddly with the demise of the grand old elms, some of the pruning practices for elms have been forgotten and need to be relearned. A book was recently written to re-teach us about pruning elms.

Trees are said to add 15 percent to a home’s value. Underground tree roots are like a sponge and can protect a home from storm water. In a time when we are more concerned about harm from the sun’s rays,

The project included three windows being replaced and the other five being repaired.

The repairs included eight new screens, new locks, and having the windows all re-strung with pulleys and rope by Crist Hershberger, of Hershberger Windows of Canton, MN. The last restoration to be completed was the front entrance including the steps and new shade from trees protects us.

Trees are like outdoor air conditioners, cooling and filtering pollutants from the air.

Homes with trees protecting them from the sun on the east, south and west find their indoor air conditioning bills much lower. A shaded asphalt roadway or driveway lasts longer.

Thus I wonder why more don’t invest in at least a single tree for their front yard. Yield not to the temptation of cuteness and go for the long haul with a basic shade tree that will grow and grow and forever be a healthy investment.

The remainder of the repairs, painting, and labor has been donated by members of the Preston Historical Society.

Also several artifacts from the O’Hara School and other period items have been donated for refurbishing the interior to show how a rural school building looked.

The Preston Historical Society looks forward to having you visit this piece of area history during the upcoming Fillmore County Fair.

Fillmore County Court Report On July 9, 2012, Brian Dennis Schott, 27 of Pine Island, appeared before Judge Robert Benson at the Fillmore County Courthouse. Schott was charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct 34th degree with a victim between the ages of 13-15 and more than 48 months younger than him. The charge has a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail, $20,000 or both. He was also charged with soliciting a child to

engage in sexual conduct, which has a maximum penalty of three years, $5,000, or both.

The charges stem from an incident in which police allegedly found Schott in a hotel bed with a 15-year-old female. The police were looking for people involved in a robbery and had followed a truck to the hotel room, where they got a warrant to search the room.

Schott was released with

Minnesota High School Basketball Hall of Fame seeks nominations Minneapolis -- The Minnesota High School Basketball Hall of Fame, a new venture featuring some of the most prominent names in Minnesota high school basketball, is seeking nominations for its inaugural class of inductees.

The Hall of Fame plans to promote high school basketball and the values of wholesome

competition and sportsmanship, both for boys’ and for girls’ by recognizing outstanding players, coaches, teams, officials, and other contributors from the beginning of high school hoops more than 100 years ago to the present day.

Basketball fans may submit nominations to Bill Bentson (webentson22@yahoo.com), Ron Haggstrom (rchaggstrom@ yahoo.com) or Kevin Anderson (kja8067@gmail.com). Teams and players are subject to a waiting period of 10 years, while coaches and other contributors must have a career consisting of at least 15 years.

Minnesota is the third state to have such a Hall of Fame, following the lead of Indiana and South Dakota. Leaders of the effort include Dean Verdoes, who played for Edgerton’s 1960 state champions and is a retired coach and athletic director at Henry Sibley High School; Erin Herman and Faith Johnson Patterson, girls’ basketball coaches at Hill-Murray and DeLaSalle, respectively. Other state champion coaches involved in the Hall of Fame include Brian Cosgriff, Hopkins girls’; Wendy Kohler, Alexandria girls’; and John Sherman, Minnesota Transitions boys’.

A View From The Woods

By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011

Fishing in a Heat Wave We rose early to be on the road by six o’clock. The air was still pleasant, yet we knew we were in for a scorching 100 degree day. My husband drove the beautiful back roads of Fillmore County to the crossroads of Hart north of Rushford, then ventured east into new territory as we made our way to the hidden Wiscoy Valley of Winona County. The woods were shady and lush, while bluff upon bluff rose in breathtaking gradations of blue haze.

At the end of the gravel roads, we came to our hosts’ home, tucked into a hillside and surrounded by woods and gardens.

The boat was already loaded and hitched to the truck, as Jim and Joyce emerged from the house armed with coolers and bait.

This was no ordinary outing for us. This was an expedition.

I had won the silent auction bid last winter at the MOSES organic conference in La Crosse.

“Learn to fish the backwaters of the Mississippi River” was the pitch, and I was hooked.

We patiently encouraged our daughters to fish while they were growing up, baiting hooks and teaching them to cast from the shores of our family cabin. Yet my husband and I never quite caught the fever ourselves. It seems we always preferred to canoe or garden or read a book in a lawn chair. We do love to eat fresh fish, and so here was our chance to learn how to do it in this area.

Off we went in to an unusual fishing hole. This quiet pond was part of a complex of backwaters, but was not connected to the river. It had been deepened by excavation, then abandoned to See FISHING Page 14 

become spring fed habitat for bass, bluegills, perch and northerns. We were the only ones out that morning, and we wasted no time in launching the boat.

At first it seemed to me like a humble little open boat, as we baited our hooks and practiced casting toward shore. Then I noticed the little TV screen showing water depths and sounding soft beeps when a big fish swam by. Jim let down a small trolling motor that silently moved the boat, according to the foot pedals he worked. Even the anchor was high-tech, raising and lowering with the help of a small motor.

Fishing was indeed the focus.

Joyce kept us baited, while Jim helped with the inevitable tangles and swallowed hooks. Dick was the first to catch a fish and ended up catching a nice crappie as well as a few bass and many bluegills. Jim caught a 16” bass amongst others. Joyce kept steadily catching panfish. I was the last to get a real nibble, after I switched from a Rapala lure to a simple worm on a hook. We returned the small fish to the water as our stringer of keepers dangling beneath the boat grew steadily heavier.

It was lovely, floating along quietly, observing birds out over the marshes. A swimming muskrat lazily moved along. A nice breeze kept us feeling fine, as the sun beat down and the temperatures slowly rose. At midmorning, hot homemade breakfast burritos appeared, along with cool watermelon. By late morning the fish were still biting, but the wind had died and we were sweating, so we motored back to the landing and took the obligatory proud photo of neophyte fishers and a nice catch of fish.

We returned to the house and Jim taught us to scale, clean and fillet the fish. It takes a good bit

of time to make a lunch out of a stringer of panfish. No one likes it I’m sure, but oh my, the feast to come makes it worth it.

Back in the house, we gradually tuned in to the fact that it was comfortable inside, yet this was an off-the-grid house without air conditioning. Built into a hillside for natural earth insulation and cooling, this house used a 1 kw wind generator and photovoltaic panels for power, and wood to heat in the winter.

A fan kept us cool as the fish were grilled outside, and delicious salads from the garden magically appeared, courtesy of Joyce.

The conversation flowed as we found much in common between our families, work, love of gardening and good food.

The temperature outside finally hit 100 degrees, so we decided to complete our farm tour via air conditioned car.

A new five acre organic berry operation, fully fenced and painstakingly cared for, is demonstrating new techniques

including a solar powered rain water collection and irrigation system. Hawk and bird territorial calls had me scanning the sky, until I saw speakers set up to scare birds away from the blueberries. The public is invited to tour organic Blue Fruits Production on August 16. (www. mosesorganic.org/events.html) Our last stop of the day was a cooling swim in the neighborhood country pool, a manmade spring-fed pond complete with glazed silo-tiled walls and a sandy beach. The clear water was refreshing, and seemed like the best place on earth at that moment.

Our day ended with a takehome gift of the remainder of our fish, thoughtfully frozen while we were swimming, and packed with the rest of the homemade potato salad we had so loved at lunchtime. We said our farewells, and agreed that donating to a good cause had benefited all of us.

It has a fancy name (kla-foo-tee) but this simple dessert shows off any fresh fruit you have on hand.

Recycling 101-Fair Time LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator It’s July in Fillmore County and that means the Fillmore County Fair will soon be in full swing. This year the dates of the fair are July 24 through July 28. From what I have seen and heard in past weeks, this year’s fair should be bigger and better than ever. So, get ready for all the exhibits the young, and sometimes not-so-young, have spent countless hours preparing to share their varied talents with you.

Along with all the exhibits, rides, fish, food, grand stand events, bottled water and soda, there has evolved a new tradi-

tion at the fair in recent years.

Yes, the Recycling Containers will be back again. They will be found near the colorful blue and white recycling symbols. Please use these containers to deposit your bottles and cans when they are empty. Thousands of water bottles and soft drink cans have been collected each year to be recycled into new cans, toys, insulation, decking, lawn furniture, cars parts, and other items rather than being buried in a landfill. Recycling these bottles and cans shows the people of our county as well as visitors from around Minnesota and two neighboring states that the residents of Fillmore County support recycling and do

indeed care about the environment. Bottles and cans are not garbage, they are recyclables...... and most of you know there is a big difference.

What do margarine tubs, yogurt containers, cottage cheese containers, whipped topping containers, and cream cheese containers have in common?

They look like they are recyclable in Fillmore County, but they are not. They have the number “5” inside the chasing arrows on the bottom, and should not be combined with Fillmore County recyclables. There are a couple places in the Twin Cities that accept them for recycling, I believe a few in Wisconsin, and quite a few on the east coast, but not here. I received an e-mail from one Fillmore

Harmony purchases new street sweeper

By Jade Sexton At the regular meeting on July 10, 2012, the Harmony City Council approved the purchase of a new street sweeper from McQueen. City Administrator Jerome Illg said they were told it would cost $25,000 to refurbish the one they currently have, as it needs a lot of work.

City Maintenance Employee Chris Johnson said they priced a 2003 refurbished street sweeper at $40,000. It is mechanical instead of hydraulic. Brand new, a street sweeper costs $190,000.

They would get $2,500 trade-in for the old one.

Illg said they could take $20,000 of that money from the Capital Improvement Fund and the other $20,000 from general fund reserves. The city

has been saving money in a storm sewer fund that totals about $2,500 a year from residents, and he suggested they look into modifying that rate in the future.

Building and Maintenance There was much discussion at the meeting about the purchase of a new well in the next few years. Illg presented the council with a sample schedule for three years, a schedule which involves the process of getting funding and submitting plans for approval. Russ Stammer of Stantec made up the schedule.

Mayor Steve Donney asked about a potential location for the third well. Illg said the Industrial Park was the presumed location, but it doesn’t have to be. Donney also asked

Rushford Days 2012 featuring sanctioned Pedal Pull The Rushford Days Festivities Committee is thrilled to announce that this year the Pedal Tractor Pull will be a qualifying sanctioned event by the Minnesota State Pedal Pulls Association.

Kids ages 4 through 11 compete against kids from their own age group. The top two in each age group will qualify to participate in the State Pedal Tractor Pull held the second Saturday in September. From there, the top two boys and the top two girls in each group can compete in the National Pedal Tractor Pull head in Mitchell, South Dakota at the end of September.

The largest pedal tractor pull

company in the world, Kid Power Pedal Tractor Pulls, will emcee the event. Trophies will be given out for the top three places in each age group. Each child will receive a participation ribbon for their efforts in the pedal pull. Chris Hammell of Hammell Equipment and Tony Heiden of 600 Agronomic Analysis are sponsoring this event.

The fun begins at 9:30 am (sign up starts at 9:00 am) on Saturday July 21 at the fest grounds. Event will be held inside Rushford Fire Hall if raining. Entry fee for participation will be $1.00. Hope to see you there!

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 household each week.

County resident who did not want to send all those containers to the landfill, so they were packed tightly into a box and shipped to New York for the cost of eleven dollars. If you are a “super recycler” and would like to know how and where to send them, please drop me an e-mail and I will get the information to you.

While you are at the fair, please stop by and check out the Resource Center/Recycling Center display and pick up the almost new Fillmore County Single Stream Recycling Guide.

It contains almost everything you need to know about what is recyclable and what is not in Fillmore County as well as where you can deposit your recyclables anytime. I will also be roaming

around at the fair, so if you have any recycling questions, please don’t hesitate to share them with me.

I would also like to remind you that I am available to visit with your group or organization concerning recycling in Fillmore County. There is no cost involved and the information presented is the same for a group of five as for a group of fifty. Also, feel free to e-mail me with questions or comments concerning recycling within the county. My county e-mail address is lpaulson@co.fillmore. mn.us<mailto:lpaulson@ co.fillmore.mn.us> Thanks for helping to improve recycling in Fillmore County and I will see you at the fair.

Illg said they are going to get their permit approved this time, but must get the levels reduced to acceptable or put something in the water to reduce it before the next permit process.

Johnson said the effluent chlorine levels might not be acceptable either. He tested it recently, and was told to keep testing it.

Other Business The low bid of $1045 was approved for a new water softener at the Community Center.

The board approved the appointment of Jim Cassman to the Park Board.

Performance evaluations for city employees will be held August 21.

City Maintenance Employee Chris Johnson how he felt about having two wells. Johnson replied that he gets nervous when one of the wells is The down.

Minnesota Council member Jim Bakken said it was worth looking into, and that if they are going to need another well in a few years, they should start now.

City Maintenance Employee Chris Johnson said he received AdMPCA (Mina callDisplay from the Network nesota Pollution Control Agency), told him the Your who newspaper effluent phosphorous levels are has agreed to partoo high in the water.

SWCD extends cover crop deadline to July 31 The Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has extended the deadline for signup for its cover crop program to Tuesday, July 31. Anyone who is interested should contact the SWCD office at (507)765-3878, ext. 3 or email doug.keene@fillmoreswcd.org.

Funds are limited, so signup is taken on a first come, first served basis. 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.

Cover crops provide many agronomic benefits that include

reducing erosion control, improving soil health, increasing soil organic matter, improving water infiltration and water holding capacity, enhancing root growth and earthworm activity to counteract compaction, and carbon sequestration. Cover crops can reduce fertilizer 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 reducing the need for pesticides.

Cover crops can also provide supplemental forage for grazing or harvesting.

ExpoCulinaria returning for food and entertainment appetites

By Team ExpoCulinaria On the heels of last year’s celebrated success, rave reviews of participants and patrons and back by popular demand, ExpoCulinaria—an experience of taste, will fill the streets of downtown Rushford, MN on Saturday evening, September 22.

This delectable culinary event sponsored by the Rushford Area Chamber of Commerce, was created to showcase food talents and experience the tastes of Rushford’s local restaurants and beverage vendors. The event also coincides with the month of September’s Taste of the Trail events in communities along the state Root River Biking Trail.

ExpoCulinaria guests will once again dine and delight, sample and sip from mouthwatering fresh, distinctive and organic cheeses, hors d’oeuvres, desserts, spreads, wines, beers, sodas and more. The big show of the evening, as entertaining as it is appetizing is the Chef

Challenge, Bring It to the Table.

This is an entertaining, outdoor culinary competition between professional chefs who will be intent on creating and preparing scrumptious appetizer, entrée and dessert plates, utilizing surprise ingredients, for a panel of judges. Winning entrees will be sampled by lucky VIP sponsors.

In addition to vendor presentations, attendees will again feast their ears on the live jazz music of Swing Inc. In addition, prizes will be awarded to attendees.

A new addition to the Chef Competition under the big top on Jessie Street will be Master of Ceremonies Brian Prudoehl of Lewiston, MN. A former Rushford resident and 1989 RHS graduate, Prudoehl says, “I grew up in Rushford and I have many fond memories of living and growing up there.”

Prudoehl performed in three musicals with RASA (Rushford Area Society of the Arts), and enjoyed every one of them.

Coincidentally, Prudoehl played the part of the dance competition MC and radio disk jockey Vince Fontaine in a Rushford production of Grease.

“I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember,” says Prudoehl. “Music itself has been a big part of making me who I am today.” The first time Prudoehl performed in a band was when he was 15 years old and has

been in many bands since then.

Prudoehl relates, “A big lifechanging moment was when my mom was taken away from me and my family because of cancer. This changed much of my focus and I wanted to learn more about myself and my faith. I was drawn to my church and started singing with a couple of guys in my church. In 2003, we started a professional musical group called Crossings.” Crossings has become a well-known “instrument” of music in the area and region.

Prudoehl who works in the construction field as an electrician, lives in Lewiston, MN with his wife Wanda, and their sons John and Brad, where he says they have “given much of themselves to their community and just try to better themselves by helping others.”

“I’m very excited to be the MC for ExpoCulinaria to test myself and see how well I can shoot some humor from the hip without going too far overboard,” remarks Prudoehl.

“Shorty (Wanda) and I like to watch the food network, but I usually don’t do the cooking at home so I’m barely qualified to be your MC. Yet I believe we’ll have a fun evening. And maybe I’ll surprise you with what I do know.”

‘The ExpoCulinaria committee is thrilled to have Prudoehl

as the MC for the 2012 event,” says co-chair Peggi Redalen.

“With his outgoing personality and comfortable, affable presence with people and the public, we are confident in Brian’s ability to perform this MC role.”
