Lanesboro hears from local frac mining group By Jade Sexton jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Several people showed up at the Lanesboro City Council meeting on August 6, 2012, to express concerns about the frac mines potentially coming to the area. Andrew Batstone spoke for the group, saying their biggest concern is the large number of trucks that could be going through town every day, doing damage to the roads, causing a safety hazard, and affecting the

town in a negative way. The group asked to have the city pass a resolution asking the county do a study on the potential impact on the economy of Lanesboro, as well as the surrounding communities. “If an ordinance goes into effect, they could build things into it restricting where they can go,” said Batstone. “The question is, where do you route those trucks?” The potential damage of 200See lanesboro Page 9 

Art becomes a ‘super power’ for Preston By Jason Sethre jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Super art! Super salon! Super tourism! Super Sally to the rescue! Sally Gibson’s artistic talents serve the community in many ways. She’s crafty with a pair of scissors or a paint-filled brush! In the past several years, she has taken her artistic talents to the streets of Preston, presenting an interactive experience for locals and tourists. Always trying to add a picture-perfect moment for Trout Days, she has created life-size, hand-crafted, wooden cut-outs. Sally’s most recent creation stands watch out in front of her shop, Sally’s Hair To Dye For, at 100 Main Street SW in Preston. You can become Wonder Woman or Captain America in as quick as it takes to press the

button on a digital camera. A lot of people probably wonder how these two super heroes landed on Main Street in front of Sally’s hair salon. Well, this year’s post-prom party, as with every year in the past, the parents of the junior class were responsible for putting together the post-prom party for the seniors attending prom. This year’s theme was “Super Heroes,” which is how Wonder Woman and Captain America arrived at Sally’s doorstep. She served on the post-prom decorating committee with other parents, and she offered to put her artistic talents to use with the creation of this cutout. Sally says she really doesn’t get a chance to do this type of artwork on a regular basis, so it becomes a good outlet for her. Since the post-prom party and associated events took place

in May 2012, the timing was perfect to put this cut-out on the streets of Preston for the rest of the locals and tourists to enjoy during the Trout Days celebration. On any day of the week or weekend, you’ll see people snapping shots of friends and family poking their heads through the two available holes. In 2011, Sally put together a cut-out for the Preston Fire Department that replicated a fire station for kids and parents to get their picture taken during Trout Days. What’s amazing is how she takes the artwork from paper to a life-sized structure. She skillfully cuts the silhouette along with all of the holes with her saw and then paints with such attention to detail. Seriously, check out the super

Sheriff Daryl Jensen recommended Anthony Webber to be his Chief Deputy at the county board’s August 7 meeting. Webber will be replacing the retiring Thomas Kycek as of September 1. Webber has been with the county since 1990 and Lieutenant since 2005. The Sheriff is an elected position and the Chief Deputy serves at the pleasure of the Sheriff. Therefore, if a different Sheriff were elected, that Sheriff wouldn’t be obligated to retain the same Chief Deputy. For this reason an agreement was approved whereby Chief Deputy Webber would have the option of returning to his previous position as a Lieutenant if he was terminated as Chief Deputy and is in good standing. The contract was approved by the union. The board approved the appointment and set the salary. Sheriff Jensen recommended Brian Miner who is currently a Patrol Sergeant (since 2005) to fill the soon to be vacant

Lieutenant position effective September 1. Miner has been with the county since 1994. The board approved the promotion. Approval was given to post internally for a replacement to fill the Patrol Sergeant position. Leroy Eickhoff who has been with the county since 1998 will take over the responsibilities of Lead Dispatcher effective August 17. No vacancies were created with this promotion. Joel Johnson was recommended to fill the vacancy as the Spring Valley contract deputy effective August 17. This vacancy was created recently when Kevin Beck was named Emergency Manager/Jail Administrator. The last two changes were as a result of the recent retirement of Mike Ask. 2013 Budget Commissioners looked at proposed 2013 departmental budgets from the surveyor, sanitation, facilities maintenance, highway, court administrator, attorney, assessor and auditor/ treasurer which included seven See COUNTY BOARD Page 3 

Two Lanesboro youth tour Europe with the Minnesota Ambassadors of Music Two Lanesboro youth, Megan Kiehne and Kirsten Ruen, recently returned from a 16-day Minnesota Ambassadors of Music tour of seven European countries from July 6 to 21, 2012. The Minnesota Ambassadors are comprised of a select high school band and choir. These students were nominated by their local school music directors based on their musical ability and quality of character. The group included 234 students and parents as well as 31 staff members, many of them band and choir directors themselves. The tour itinerary featured five performances each by the band and choir, as well as sightseeing in England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy and Germany. The group spent four days rehearsing together prior to departure. The late Dr. Frank Bencriscutto and his wife, Jean, founded the Minnesota Ambassadors of Music in 1989. Dr. Ben was the Director of Bands at the University of Min-

Williams taught for 34 years and retired from Wayzata High School in 2010. He also conducts the band on the tour. This is their 10th trip with the Minnesota Ambassadors. William Krinke, a music teacher for many years in Redwood Falls, is the choir director. Krinke and his wife, Sue, were the Tour Directors prior to Sutton and Williams. Megan Kiehne played tenor saxophone and Kirsten Ruen played baritone saxophone with the Minnesota Ambassadors Band. Both students participated as altos in the choir. They extend their many thanks to the community for your generous support. They will be sharing their experiences with a presentation on Wed, August 15 at 7 pm at Bethlehem Lutheran Church Guest Night. The event is open to the public.

C ommentary Stop government waste Vote “No” on Voter ID By Karen Reisner This November when you go to the polls unencumbered by a required “government issued photo ID”, vote “NO” to save our state and local governments from spending more on unnecessar y rules and reg- Karen Reisner ulations. It has been estimated that the requirement of a government issued voter ID initially will cost more than $8 million, some believe it will be much more. Who will foot the bill? Will the state pay or pass it down to local governments? Where will the millions needed for the initial costs and the ongoing increased administrative costs, that will add to local government budgets for every future election, come from? The dollars will come from all of us. One way or another we will all pay the bill and for what? It seems to me that the approval of the amendment will only serve to make voting more difficult and more expensive. The photo ID is to paid for by the state, supposedly free to all eligible voters; not entirely true. It has been estimated that about 11 percent of eligible voters in the state do not have a photo ID that would satisfy requirements. Each voter needing the required ID will be responsible for obtaining their birth certificate, not free. Some will not take the time and effort, especially the elderly in nursing homes. Many students, elderly, soldiers and homeless will be disenfranchised as a result of this unnecessary amendment. This constitutional amendment requiring everyone voting Editorial Cartoon

in future elections to have this photo ID is a “solution in search of a problem.” The reason the state legislature gives for needing the photo ID is to reduce voter fraud, which is rare. There is very little evidence of prevalent voter fraud, certainly not enough to justify the financial outlay and the additional regulation on our freedom to vote. Voter fraud essentially has not been documented in the state. The Greater Minnesota Advisory Panel (GMAP) is especially concerned about what this amendment could mean for future elections in rural areas. What will be “substantially equivalent” for voters who participate by mail or absentee ballots? If the voter ID amendment is adopted, voters will have to present a proper government issued photo ID in order to receive a ballot. This ID will need to reflect their current place of residence. Without the proper ID a voter will receive a “provisional ballot.” In order for the provisional ballot to be counted, the voter will have to present the proper government ID after the election at their county election office, which may be at a much greater distance than their polling location. Also, people voting with provisional ballots will loose the ability to keep their vote secret, as their name will be attached to the ballot. Of course, many questions of what will be required and how it will work are yet to be decided by the legislature. The Minnesota legislature has yet to pass enabling legislation, but they intend to do so if the amendment is adopted. So if you vote in favor of the amendment, you will not be sure exactly what you are approving. You will essentially be voting to approve important details, yet to

be determined. Under current law, Minnesotans can update registration information on Election Day. There are several ways a voter can prove residency. If this amendment is adopted, it will serve to eliminate same day registration. It is estimated that up to 20 percent of voters utilize same day registration. Voter fraud is a felony. About three-quarters of the investigations into voter fraud in Minnesota have involved convicted felons. Convicted felons are not allowed to vote in Minnesota until their sentence has been completed including parole or probation. At any rate the number of investigations across the state for voter fraud have been minuscule. Each act of voter fraud, a felony, could be punished by up to 5 years in jail, plus a $10,000 fine. Many citizens don’t bother to vote with the excuse that their single vote won’t make a difference. Why would anyone risk the possible jail term and fine for a single vote? The requirement of a government issued photo ID may reduce any fraud by the “impersonation of another.” However, this kind of fraud is extremely rare, very very rare. There are multiple checks already built into the state’s voting system. Our vote is a privilege and is of utmost importance as a citizen under a democratic form of government. Our country already suffers from voter apathy. The voting process should encourage participation by all eligible voters and limit as much as possible any barriers. The US Constitution left voting qualifications up to the individual states. However, several amendments to the US Constitution have extended voting rights to more citizens. Amendment 14 in 1868 includes “all persons born or naturalized” as citizens of the US. Amendment 15 in 1870

takes away limitations based on “race, color, or previous servitude.” Amendment 19 in 1920 took away any limitation “on account of sex.” Amendment 24 in 1964 took away limitations “by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.” Amendment 26 in 1971 extended the age lower to those 18 or older. All these amendments spell out ways in which the “right to vote” can not be limited. They encourage greater participation. The requirement for government issued photo IDs and other rules yet to be determined will increase regulation, drive up election costs, reduce voter participation, and increase government waste while not doing much of anything to prevent voter fraud any better than the current system. We have plenty of issues in our state that need fixing, this isn’t one of them. Why fix what isn’t broken? There is very little concrete evidence of voter fraud in Minnesota. This proposed constitutional amendment is motivated by politics, rather than what is in the best interest of the state and its citizens. Vote “No” to the Voter ID amendment and stop this government waste of our tax dollars.

Letter about Voter ID - Why all the fuss? To the Editor, This coming November Minnesoata voters will be asked to amend the state constitution to require a picture ID to vote in an election. It’s a simple requirement, one that 26 states already have in some variation. Opponents of the measure cry foul, that many elderly and poor voters will be robbed of their franchise or opportunity to vote. A laundry list of objections stops just short of predicting the death of western civilization if the referendum passes. Minnesota has excellent statutes for protecting the integrity of the voting process. Still we do have instances where unqualified voters have cast ballots. In 2010 the state had to scrub voter rolls of more than 200 names where felons had been allowed to vote. If anyone is being disenfranchised it is that person whose vote has been effectively cancelled by someone who is not entitled to vote. Recently the Supreme Court was asked to weigh in on the issue of disenfranchisement in a case regarding the Indiana voter ID law. The Indiana law was upheld when the complainants were unable to demonstrate a single case where a voter was denied for lack of a picture ID. Most of us are asked to prove who we are several times a month. What’s the big deal? Voter ID is a way to make Minnesota’s excellent voting law better. How can that possibly be a bad thing? Vote for Voter ID in November. David Boone Houston, MN

Letter about visit to Preston To the Editor, My husband and I would like to thank the wonderful people in the Preston area for all their help when our vehicle plus camper broke down a few miles out of Preston. Thank you to the following Good Samaritans: Gary Schmidt for following our camper to Valley View Campground and helping us set up. Your calming words helped us “settle down.” Vicki with Hansen Tires for helping us find a mechanic, taking us to find a rental car, and also hauling our bicycles back to our campground. Scott Brunsvold of Brunsvold Enterprises for renting a car to us. Herm of Herman’s Service of Fountain for towing our pickup from the campground to his shop and for all the work they did in getting our pickup road ready again. What a wonderful gift to the area to have such a quality repair shop...while waiting for our pickup to be fixed, we enjoyed Preston’s local grocery store (more than a few times), the Soup and Sub Shop, your laundromat, antique shop, pharmacy (thank you so much for your help with my subscription), the bowling alley (delicous pancakes), and your local gas stations. A special thank you also to Tom and his family of Valley View Campground for your hospitality and help for the many days that we were there. Preston residents can be very proud of their town and the wonderful goodwill ambassadors that live there. When friends ask us “how was your vacation,” we tell them what a wonderful time we had in Preston. God’s blessings to all of you, Jan and Donna Kennedy Pipestone, MN Letter about Mike Parry stands out To the Editor, There have been complaints that voters don’t get to choose who runs. This August, Republican voters will have a chance to choose their candidate for Congressional District 1. While both candidates are preferable to the current occupant of that seat, Mike Parry stands out. Having served in the National Guard and in law enforcement, he brings years of experience in serving the people. No stranger to handling a budget, he is a small business owner and entrepreneur with direct insight into what is needed to grow jobs. We do not need perennial also rans, but real leaders in office. Please vote for Mike Parry in the primary on August 14th. Patrick D. Boone Houston, MN

C ommentary Letter about voting for Mike Parry To the Editor, Republicans have a great opportunity this November to send Congressman Tim Walz into retirement. For too long, Congressman Walz has voted with far-left liberals in Washington, DC. Congressman Walz voted for the Obama Administration’s government overhaul of health care, the failed “stimulus” plan, and for risky capand-trade energy tax. Mike Parry is the strongest candidate to take on Congressman Walz in November. Parry grew up working on a family farm in Albert Lea, spent time serving the community as a police officer, and is a small business owner in Waseca. In addition, Parry is a proud veteran. Parry has only been in politics for a few years – I think it’s time we sent a fresh face to Congress. In his short time in the State Senate, Mike Parry has proven that he won’t compromise his conservative principles to get things done. I encourage you to vote for Mike Parry in the Republican Primary for Congress on August 14. Justin Gilbert Mabel, MN

Letter about Parry has my vote To the Editor, First district voters have a clear choice in November between the Pelosi supporter (Walz), who talks conservative in MN but votes for spending in DC, and one of two fiscally responsible opponents. Although both Quist and Parry offer a clear alternative to Walz, Mike Parry has my vote as someone who is not afraid to take a stand and bring some fiscally sound votes to the U.S. house. A vote for Parry in the August 14th primary will bring us one step closer to turning us back from the fiscal catastrophe lurking just around the corner. Bob Bergen Spring Valley, MN

Correction

In the Fillmore County Journal’s August 6 issue, in the article “Harmony Enterprises, Inc. celebrating 50 years,” it was incorrectly stated that Harmony Enterprises manufactures their own solar panels. They do not manufacture them, but they use them in the products they make.

Outdoor movie and music night in Whalan How did it all begin? In June, 2010 the Whalan Hall Restoration Committee was formed. Our goal: To renovate the old town hall that was built in 1898 and in bad repair. The City of Whalan started things rolling by earmarking $20,000 for the project. Two years and counting! Through many fundraising projects and donations we have raised almost $60,000 – not bad for a village of 63 people. The huge old hall was rolled off its foundation, the foundation rebuilt and the hall moved back. This amazing feat was accomplished by the Amish. The outside has been painted with paint donated through the “Picture It Painted Project.” The inside has been gutted, new windows installed, wiring, heating, plumbing installed and foam insulation blown in. Sheetrocking the ceiling and wood on the walls is next. We feel we have made great progress over the last two years but know we have a long way to go – so our fundraising continues. One of our first fundraising projects was an outdoor movie shown on the outside wall of

the town hall, just as they did in the 1930’s and 40’s. It proved to be a very popular event. On Saturday, August 18 we will be showing our 3rd annual outdoor movie, along with the toe – tappin music of the Arnold – Bradley Band. This year’s movie, Dolphin Tale, is the inspirational story of Sawyer, a boy who discovers an injured dolphin, which is brought to a marine hospital and named Winter. The injuries have cost Winter her tail. But with Sawyer’s devotion, the expertise of a marine biologist, and the brilliance of a prosthetist (Morgan Freeman) who

creates a new tail, Winter may receive a second chance at life. Everyone is invited to attend this free event with lively music and a movie the whole family will enjoy. Food stand will open in the town hall at 6 p.m. See the progress we have made. Music by the Arnold – Bradley Band will begin at 6:30. Raffle drawing at 8:30 followed by the movie. Our sincere thanks to everyone who has in any way contributed to our project. We hope to see you in Whalan Saturday evening, August 18. Don’t forget your lawn chair!

paint your wagon and come along! “So says a well-known song from the musical comedy, Paint Your Wagon. With music by Lerner and Lowe, the show debuted on Broadway in 1951 and will hit the stage as part of the 40th Anniversary celebration of Brave Community Theatre in Spring Valley, August 15-18. It’s the story of a crusty old miner, Ben Rumson, who finds gold while digging a grave and thus the historic California Gold Rush begins. Miners are happy to pan for gold, but with the only girl in town being Rumson’s young daughter, soon the men of Rumson town have a yearning. A Mormon with two wives arrives and one of them, Elizabeth, agrees to be auctioned off. Rumson has the high bid, but soon it is evident she has fallen in love with his partner. Finally, a stage coach with Cherry and her Fandango girls arrive and the frivolity begins, just as the gold runs out. Rumson decides to leave and departs singing “I Was Born Under a Wandrin’ Star.” “They Call the Wind Maria,” “There’s a Coach Comin’ In,” and “I Talk to the Trees” are just a few of the songs the audience might remember from the movie with Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin. “It’s a very large cast and a rollicking good time,” said Laurie Helmers, Artistic and Musical Director of the show. “We have a wonderful cast drawn from all over the area.” Past participants of Brave Community Theatre are invited to a reunion reception to be held every night after the show. The show begins at 7:30 pm each

heroes on Sally’s doorstep. Sally’s artistic talents are shared throughout her family. Here father and mother, Jim and Lorry Patterson, are both very artistic. And, her sister, Julie Patterson is also very talented, working as a graphic artist. And, the artistic talent doesn’t stop there. Sally’s son, Mitch, who graduates from Fillmore Central High School in 2013, is also a very talented artist with sketch art and graphic art. Sam Gibson, Sally’s daughter, who graduates from St. Mary’s University in Winona in 2013, is extremely talented with her background in musical theater. While Sally was simply sharing her artistic talents for the benefit of the Fillmore Central High School post-prom party, her work has become a hot spot in the city of Preston. People passing by can’t help but to stop and get a snapshot. I guess you might say that Sally’s artistic contribution to Preston makes all of us look like super heroes! Thanks Sally.

Buffalo Bill Days another huge success By Barb Jeffers Weather played an important role in this year’s Buffalo Bill Days celebration in Lanesboro, Minn. With activities getting started on Friday in some brisk wind, and Saturday being slightly soggy. Sunday, however, was “a beautiful day” said Bobbi Vickerman, City Administrator of Lanesboro. The festivities began on Friday, August 3rd, with the celebration kickoff at the beer and brat tent with JT Thompson providing entertainment. Friday also marked the beginning of the softball tournament, which attracted a crowd, as did the volleyball tournament and golf tournament, keeping sports enthusiasts busy trying to watch them all. The St. Mane Theatre held productions of “In The Company of Legends” on Saturday and Sunday to the delight of theatre-goers, as did Commonweal Theatre’s “The 39 Steps” and “The Philadelphia Story.” The band “Troubleshooter” played Friday night for the street dance which was well attended. Despite the weather on Saturday, people were “out and about” according to Vickerman. The Marketplace and Farmer’s Market opened on Saturday, giving visitors a vast selection of produce and products to choose from. Music filled the gazebo in Sylvan Park on Saturday with music from the “Bandanas,” “Dave Wilson and the Root River Jam,” and “Walter

Bradley and Steve Arnold” all performing throughout the afternoon. There were “Kids Fun” activities in Sylvan Park which made for many happy children, even with a little rain falling. Saturday night, as the rain moved out of the area, the excitement got under way with “Next 2 Nothing” performing to a very enthusiastic crowd in the parking lot of Sylvan Park. Everyone in attendance seemed to have a great time dancing and visiting with friends who they may not see any other time of the year other than during Buffalo Bill Days. Dusk on Saturday brought fireworks with small and large groups gathering all over town to watch. Sunday brought sunny skies and continuing activities, including the grand parade at 1:30. This year’s Buffalo Bill Days parade was exceptional with a wide array of floats, musical guests, and characters of all types. The Grand Marshalls of this year’s parade were Jerry and Sharon Post. Jerry and Sharon taught many of the parade attendees, both having been teachers in the Lanesboro School District for many years. Jerry said that he and Sharon being Grand Marshalls for the parade “was an honor,” and he added that “it was fun seeing all the people.” Following the parade, Sylvan Park was filled with a crowd once again and throughout the day with more entertainment provided by

“The Alley Cats” and DJ & Karaoke. Immediately after the parade, “Cody” the buffalo was at Lanesboro Local taking photos with children and adults, who both seemed to be unsettled standing next to an animal that weighs between 1800 - 2000 pounds. This was actually “Cody 2” who has appeared in a Taco John

commercial and a jean commercial, according to his owner Mike Fogel. No matter what the weather brought to Lanesboro last weekend the city brought it’s best to visitors, with the town looking beautiful, as usual, and the residents bringing a welcoming attitude towards visitors. Mark your calendars now for next year’s Buffalo Bill Days which will be held on August 2, 3, and 4, 2013.

300 trucks a day driving through the town, five to six days a week for several years is unknown, but there are many who feel it could destroy the downtown area and have a very negative impact on tourism, something the city has worked hard on for many years. Mayor Steve Rahn also mentioned the people who are fighting overseas because of America’s need for oil. Batstone said they are not speaking out against the mining, they would just like it to be done without killing the downtown community. Frank Wright said the Chamber’s main concern is how many trucks an hour is acceptable? “There is a limit, no matter if you live on a road in the country, or in town, how many trucks a day you can put up with,” said Wright. “It has to do with quality of life, and it has to do with safety. If there are no limits, it could be clustered, and it could have a huge impact.” Robbie Brokken, who works for the Lanesboro Art Center, said it should be looked at on an emotional level as well, since people have worked so hard for so long to make Lanesboro what it is. “People have moved here because they want to live in this beautiful place,” she said. “If we allow this amount of trucks to go through and destroy the landscape, why keep trying?” Bryce Dawson commented on the noise pollution of so many

trucks going through town every day, and that the noise affects the buildings in town as well. Beth Hennesey said she moved to Lanesboro eight years ago, and she never would have moved here if she had known a frac mine would be nearby. Her home is within hearing and site of the frac mine, and she thinks the community could lose people, and lose people that might move to Lanesboro. Julie Kiehne, from the Chamber, said that tourism brings $18.7 million every year to Fillmore County. Council member Ceil Allen made a motion that the city support the Chamber and prepare a resolution for the county commissioners requesting they study the economic impact on Lanesboro and Fillmore County. The motion passed unanimously. Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Tim Penny, President and CEO of the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), gave an annual report to the council. He said SMIF is celebrating 25 years of serving the southern Minnesota area, in which time they have given more than 80 million dollars. There are two main focuses to the work that SMIF does, and those are early childhood and entrepreneurship. Penny listed a number of different programs, grants and loans they have provided to help out in these areas, as well as 21 communities they have helped to start a Community

Fund. “Over 25 years there are several hundred businesses we’ve assisted,” said Penny. “We have loans for businesses trying to expand, and we’ve assisted banks to help them give loans.” Penny also mentioned investments they have made in early childhood programs, and mentoring programs. He said 92 percent of their resources come from outside of the area, but eight percent are raised right in southern Minnesota. Trash on the river River Rats Outfitter owner Ken Soiney said he recently got some bad press when KTTC spoke about the garbage problem from tubers and canoeists on the river. He said he has put up a no littering sign, as well as adding more trash receptacles. “I know that 99 percent of the trash comes from the inner tubers,” said Soiney. Soiney is also concerned with the amount of broken glass he has found and has had to clean up frequently. He asked the city to consider an ordinance banning glass at the entry points to the river, as it has become a serious problem. City Attorney Tom Manion said they can ban it, but they also have to enforce it. Soiney said he has spoken with local law enforcement, and he has their cooperation. Other Business Robert Thompson was at the meeting to voice his concerns about the special assessment for Whittier Street. He said he hasn’t

seen any discussion in the minutes, and again said he felt the city should remove the assessments on utilities for that project. Manion said he didn’t feel it was in the city’s best interest to revisit the issue. Joe O’Connor said he had spoken with other city administrators and they all assessed the same way. The council chose not to make any changes retroactively to the assessment policy. Vickerman said Buffalo Bill Days

He also said the bathhouse was shingled, and another shelter will be getting new shingles soon.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County

Tracing Abe Lincoln’s Springfield, IL, footsteps, Part 3 WEDNESDAY: Today included a field trip to the New Salem open-air history museum and state park with our own personal guide, Charles Starling, a retired Illinois Historical Preservation Agency Site interpreter. Charlie gave us all the facts we could ever want to know about Lincoln’s New Salem stay. He was particularly adept at explaining early 1800s-style school to us. He turned us teachers all into students and ran us through our paces in the 1-room schoolhouse experience. Lincoln attended in total only about one year of school, spread out over five years with five different teachers. His mother, Nancy, also taught him quite a lot at home. Public schools were not available, so parents had to pay $2.50 per student, per quarter, and $3 with grammar and geography. In New Salem, Mentor Graham was the school master during Lincoln’s time, and he was strict. He taught students about money (a half-dollar was actually a dollar coin cut in half; a quarter-dollar or 2 bits was a dollar coin cut in 1/4s, down to a 6-cent piece, the smallest denomination). Graham’s school was known as “blab” school, because either the teacher or the students were blabbing all day--there were constant questions and answers being recited loudly. Readin’, writin’, cypherin’, and more subjects were taught in the one-room school house. The village contained several log cabins, strong splitrail fences, and an amazing relic--an ox-driven mill, one of only five in existence in the world! Visitors see costumed interpreters who are excited to tell them about Lincoln’s time here, including his work in the two village stores. Back in our Library class-

room, Dr. James Cornelius, the Lincoln Curator of the ALPLM, gave his presentation “Lincoln, Slavery, and Emancipation.” In 1837, when Lincoln was serving his second term as state legislator in the first capital city of Vandalia, he and the “Long Nine” (nine legislators all over 6-feet tall) proposed moving the capitol to Springfield. Lincoln also proposed a resolution that slavery is founded on injustice and bad policy. His resolution failed 73-6, but the capitol site moved. From 1846-1848, Lincoln found plenty of failure in Congress. He was the only Whig from Illinois and couldn’t pass many resolutions. He came back to Springfield and worked hard as a lawyer in the new capitol building. Things erupted in 1854 with the passage of the KansasNebraska Act. This policy allowed any new state to choose to be free or slave. Up until this act, the Missouri Compromise had kept the slave vs. free state ratio even. Everyone thought this slavery thing would die out with western expansion: “Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men” was the slogan. The KS-NE Act had boxed in the North allowing slavery to be a possibility up through the Dakota territories all the way to Canada. Now, Lincoln knew he had to get involved. The issue of slavery was something the Whigs and the Democrats had not made a lot of fuss over. In Feb. 1856, these and other political groups gathered after newspapers asked for a convention to discuss slavery. The men focused on ending slavery broke off into a new party--the Republican party. Lincoln then became a Republican. At the Republican convention he said, “ . . . slavery . . . will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and

passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand.” In 1858, 7 debates occurred all around IL between Democrat Stephen Douglas, “the Little Giant,” and Republican Lincoln. Lincoln spoke and dressed badly, cementing his dweeb status. Douglas handily won the seat. Lincoln one-upped his rival along with two more contenders (John Breckinridge and John Bell) in 1860; Lincoln was elected President. March 4, 1861, was inauguration day, and April 12, the Confederate states fired the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter, SC. On September 22, 1862, Lincoln presented and signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It didn’t come easy--he had written several drafts and had asked his Cabinet members’ suggestions and approval. All the members were against the document. “It’s too soon, it’s too divisive,” they claimed. Lincoln persevered. Cornelius said, “Lincoln was both ahead of his time and out of his time, but he was a leader of his time.” One of my favorite presentations came next: “The WOW Factor, Behind the Scenes.” Dr. Cornelius, a man similar to Lincoln in stature and passionate about Thehis knowledge for LinMinnesota coln, presented us with some amazing artifacts. We watched him put on the white gloves, and we knew we were in for a treat. There were resounding “WOW!”s from the teachers when Cornelius lifted the top of theDisplay box encasing Lincoln’s Ad stovepipe hat. Sized 7 1/8 and Network

covered in beaver fur, the amazing hat has a fingerprint-sized scar in the place where Lincoln would have grabbed the brim to tip it to folks on the street. We were standing just inches from this famous hat, and it wasn’t even under glass! Wow! We also saw Mary Lincoln’s priceless diamond necklace, a personal check written by Lincoln to William H. Johnson, his free African-American valet (for $5), and more amaz-

Sue’s Muse By Sue Ommen Bicycles The biker lined up on the stand, the commentary about his chances of winning a medal in the background. The countdown began, and the human clock next to the athlete ticked off the final seconds on his fingers. Then the Olympic contender pedaled off to begin the 26+-mile race. I watched with fascination, munching on cereal and milk. Though never aspiring to participate in a race of any length, bicycles seemed a natural topic

to muse upon. My first bicycle was pink with a basket in front, given as a birthday present when I was ten, opening up a whole new world. Content before wheels to roam the woods, now I could venture to the Glen Lake Public Library to spend time perusing the shelves for new adventures of classic authors my mother had introduced me to long ago. My friends and I could explore Big Mountain, a large hill covered with trees and foliage and a satisfying climb, to end with a

packed lunch while viewing the world from the top. I could run errands to the little store a mile from our house, standing alone and the only store for miles around. The first year my husband, Lu and I were married, we bought 10-speed Schwinn bikes with the money we got back from taxes. Bike trails were a concept of the future, so we rode in nearby parks and all over the town of Mankato. I was teaching sixth grade by then in a small town named Good Thunder about 18 miles from Mankato. One day I told the kids not to be surprised if they saw me pull up on my new red bike. One of the girls nudged the girl next to her and said in a stage whisper, “She can ride a bike?” My image as a hip young teacher changed before my very eyes. The summer before my husband graduated, we bought a van and a bike carrier and let

our apartment go, as we couldn’t afford both. We outfitted the van with a trunk that opened with drawers to store clothes and a wooden seat that opened to more storage. I made a cushion with foam covered in fabric that served as a bed as well, when placed on the floor. We camped in a park near the college and across from the nursery school where I worked that summer and my sister’s apartment with access to a shower. My husband simply took his bike down each morning and rode to the college to take a shower and attend classes. The setup worked remarkably well until we heard that the police were keeping an eye on us! Then we moved to a campground, a couple of miles out of town, where I convinced the owner to let us park next to an oat field for a dollar a night instead of the cramped campground that cost three dollars a night. I loved the setup as it was private and the sun set the oats alight each night at sunset in a dazzling display of color. Opening the sliding side door during the day made the view of the lake our living room. At the end of the summer after my husband graduated, we moved to Colorado, camping until the cold of the mountains creeped into our very bones. Then we rented an apartment in Denver. Next, I worked for the State Department of Colorado and rode my bike each day the mile or so to downtown Denver.

I was told bikes were not allowed inside and to park the bike in the car lot outside. The two cars that had been stolen from the lot did not inspire my confidence. My boss dryly joked the next extinct species was the person who ventured to ride a bike downtown. He kindly looked the other way when I slipped my bike right inside the door in a safe spot. On Sundays, we rode with friends down the streets of Denver, as traffic was almost nonexistent. Today I ride a three-wheeled recumbent bike, a lovely red Peninnger, with a sling seat and steering gear that handles with ease. My regular chariot is a wheelchair, I relish the freedom and exercise this bike affords me. Lu researched on the internet and bought a motor kit and now with a thumb control, I can keep riding when my legs are finished. My husband recently purchased a blue two-wheel recumbent bike called a Sofrider Cruzbike, with an odd-looking setup that took several days to assemble and will take much longer it appears, to adjust and learn to ride, though it’s seat appears to be wide with a comfy cushion on it. Yes, though we will never win a medal for our efforts, our bikes have taken us on many journeys through the years, and the comfortable recumbents will hopefully travel on a few more adventures in the future.

Pasta Sauce

Cook pasta of your choice. Cut thin slices of red pepper, onion, mushroom (we like Baby Bellas), and sauté in olive oil with minced garlic. Add a couple of shakes of hot red pepper flakes. Add herbs of your choice. I prefer lemon thyme or lemon basil. Add a little chicken broth and reduce. Add a small amount of fat-free half-and-half and salt-and-pepper to taste. Add the pasta to the sauce and grate Parmesan cheese over it and enjoy.

Chimney Swift tower/kiosk to be built By Karen Reisner Representatives of the Zumbro Valley Audubon Society (ZVAS) addressed the Preston City Council at the August 6 meeting about their preference to gift the soon to be built chimney swift tower/kiosk to the city. Mayor Kurt Reicks and councilman David Harrison were absent.

Earlier agreement language drafted by city attorney Dwight Luhmann was a concern for members of the ZVAS. The council had approved the building of the tower/kiosk in May contingent on an agreement by the parties involved. According to the original agreement draft, the ZVAS would be responsible

Kids’ Club, a school-age child care program through RushfordPeterson Community Education, just finished their annual Community Service project. They advertised for and sold lemonade, then took the proceeds and purchased food for the Semcac Foodshelf site in Rushford. Due to matching contributions by Corey Mattson of Mattson Computer Systems, the kids were able to raise $91.00 to be donated to the Foodshelf. The kids presented their purchases to Semcac Foodshelf Manager Andrea Andresen. Photo submitted

for providing liability coverage and future maintenance. Ruthann Yaeger of the ZVAS made it clear that they had raised over $3,000 to build the structure at no cost to the city. However, with limited financial resources, the small organization had no interest in owning the structure and being responsible for future maintenance. The ZVAS wanted to gift the structure to the city as it will stand on city property. It was noted that one of the four sides of the kiosk will be used to provide information for the Preston Historical Society. The structure is to be built to the right of the historical elevator and railroad track, when one faces the Trailhead Inn. Part of the reason for this location is that people reading the information on the kiosk will be able to look in a direct line to the old Elementary School chimney that has been recognized as the number one chimney swift site in the state of Minnesota. The new tower may provide a nesting site for a pair of chimney swifts. Greg Munson, former director of the Quarry Hill Nature Center, designed the tower and will oversee its construction. Dale Benike will be the mason and builder and Mike Kelly will produce the kiosk signage. Councilwoman Kay Spangler

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County said she was concerned about possible vandalism. Councilman Charles Sparks suggested if maintenance is needed, the city could ask the ZVAS to help raise funds. City Administrator Joe Hoffman estimated that it may cost the city about $100 per year for maintenance on average for shingles, wood and signs. Luhmann explained that with ownership there would be the obligation to maintain it. Hoffman said it would have little or no effect on liability premiums. The council approved the amending of the agreement to accept ownership of the tower/kiosk and the obligations that come with ownership. Other Business In Brief •The annual contribution of $2,500 was approved for the Preston Historical Society. The 2012 contribution had been budgeted. •Hoffman explained that the

city’s Comprehensive Plan is about 13 years old. Generally, the plan is updated about every 10 years. Planning and Zoning had discussed completing a new plan in 2010, but due to budget concerns their request was withdrawn. P and Z has requested that up to $10,000 be budgeted for 2013 to develop a new plan. Hoffman explained the importance of a plan for the future development in the community. He noted changes over the years in land use; for example, new townhomes. There will be several public meetings concerning the new plan. A professional planning consultant will be hired to complete the plan. The allocation for a new comprehensive plan was approved. •The next council meeting will be on August 23 and will be held at the fire hall, due to the remodeling of the council chambers.

called to active duty. He met his future wife, Judith Ann Sande in Wykoff while attending WHS and went on to marry her on June 14, 1958, at the Wykoff United Methodist Church. They had three children, Chris, Kim and Rod. Dick joined the family business full time and made many acquaintances along the way. Thompson Motors was truly a passion of Dick’s and under his tenure it evolved into an international business selling trucks and parts to people around the world. Dick spent years wearing many hats but was really a “customer first advocate’ and enjoyed people from all walks of life. Dick was a longtime member of the Wykoff United Methodist Church and was a former member of the Spring Valley Masonic Lodge. He served on the national dealer council for International Harvester and enjoyed great camaraderie with other dealers in the business. Going to auctions, conventions and being around people of like mind was a favorite of his as well.

He and Judy spent most weekends at their lake home in the twin cities. Having friends, family, and especially granddaughters, visit was a something he looked forward to. He and Judy also traveled the world seeing many interesting places thru out Mexico, Central America as well as throughout Europe. Dick is survived by his wife, Judy; son Rod (Tina) Thompson of Wykoff; and two granddaughters. He was preceded in death by daughter, Kim; son, Chris; parents, Charles and Gert Thompson; and an infant sister. The funeral was Friday, August 10, 2012, at Faith United Methodist Church in Spring Valley with Rev. Amanda Larsen officiating. Burial was in the Wykoff Cemetery. The family prefers memorials to the Wykoff United Methodist Church, the American Cancer Society or the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Online condolences can be left at www.thauwaldfuneralhomes. com
