State Line Rural Methodist Church finds a new home By K irsten Zoellner kzoellner@fillmorecountyjournal.com

Each year, buildings that once defined our communities are either demolished or left to fall into utter disrepair. The sagging economy doesn’t often have a place for these old buildings and those left to care for them often have no choice. Luckily for one area building, there was a local couple who simply couldn’t bear to see it go. “This is an exciting day,” beams Janice Huff. “It feels funny seeing it here, but it’s wonderful!” Just three miles south of Harmony, off of Highway 139 on State Line Road, the State Line Rural Methodist Church was con-

structed in 1881, with a basement built in 1927. The church had been served by the same pastor as Harmony Methodist Church, but events at the facility ceased in 2005, when the church was closed and the congregation was consolidated with the Harmony congregation. Soon, the church body found it uneconomical to continue to care for the aging building and discussions about its bleak future began. Enter Larry, who serves on the cemetery board, and Janice. “The church’s journey began about a year ago with just a thought as, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to save that historic old building before it falls apart?’” notes Huff. “There had been a previous offer

to buy it, but the church body denied the sale. It’s a delicate topic. We talked to the members from the old church and it was voted, with the new church, that they would sell the building to us.” By November of 2011, the legal paperwork was signed with the intention that the building would move just 1000 feet southeast, across Highway 139 and State Line Road to the Iowa side, to their homestead. Preliminary work for the move began with Peterson spending countless hours landscaping the eventual resting place of the building, moving soil, putting in a waterway and a driveway.

Cris Gastner, Economic Development Authority, at the board’s August 14 meeting updated the commissioners on projects he is working on within the county. With funding from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation and a match provided by Fillmore County Economic Development, a program for business succession planning is being established. A similar program has been successful in Spring Valley. The program is designed to help communities retain their businesses. If a current business owner participates in the program, a service provided and designed by Rochester Community and Technical College will be available to help an owner plan for the future. The intent is to “lay out a path allowing them to transition out of the business while maintaining value for them and viability for

the new owner.” Plans are to be customized to fit the needs of a particular business. Gastner noted that he hoped to attract funding from area foundations to keep the program going in the future. The maintenance of businesses in area communities now and in the future is paramount to the community’s viability. Gastner explained that the loss of the Mabel grocery store is a situation for small communities that isn’t going away, due to the difficulty for a small grocery to compete with the large chain stores. He hopes to develop a model, which doesn’t exist right now, to deal with the problem. There have been numerous contacts from citizens looking into the possibility of starting a new business. Gastner described some as “tire kickers,” but some are continuing to explore the possibilities. Gastner said he has been encourSee COUNTY Page 12 

Reps of Mathy Construction contribute to sand discussion By K aren R eisner kreisner@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Sand Committee met again on August 10 with most members of the Planning Commission in attendance. The board room was again crowded with concerned citizens, including owners of property with potential for mining, mine operators, and citizens worried about the possible negative effects of what is expected to be a fast-growing industry in the area. Three rep-

resentatives of Mathy Construction added to the discussion. The sand committee was formed after the mortatorium was put into place late in February. The most discussed issue was the use of flocculants or chemicals in the washing process.

Tracing Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield, IL, footsteps- Part 4 This story is the fourth in a fivepart series about Gerri Nielsen’s trip to Springfield, Illinois. THURSDAY: Dr. Cornelius amazed us again this morning with his presentation “Mary Lincoln--Well, Not Really.” He showed us a portrait painted in 1864 by F. Carpenter. It shows a plain-faced woman dressed in black wearing a cross necklace, gaudy jewelry on her wrists and fingers, and a floral headdress in her hair. But the painting didn’t always appear that way. The Museum invites pro bono restorers to clean and restore documents and artifacts. When an accomplished restorer looked closely at this painting, he noticed there were some embellishments on top of the varnish on the painting. A big black hair bow had replaced the flowers, the jewelry had been toned down, and a locket featuring Lincoln’s silhouette had replaced the cross. The biggest change was the face--Mary Lincoln’s face had replaced the plain visage. The restorer and museum historians discovered that a man named Lou Bloom--a man of all trades and an amateur painter--had sold this fake painting of Mary Lincoln to Bob Beckweith, a grandson of Robert Lincoln, for two or three thousand dollars. In 2010, the painting was stripped of the varnish and embellishments and

restored to its original appearance. Now the museum staff is working to figure out who this mysterious lady is. Inspecting newly donated artifacts and discovering fakes is an interesting part of an ALPLM staff member’s job. The Museum hires preservationists and conservationists to work with all its artifacts. Bonnie Parr is a conservator for the ALPLM. She demonstrated how she cleans 200-year-old documents, how she repairs tears in old maps, how she encapsulates paper documents in plastic film to protect them, and how she creates the perfect box or display equipment for books and artifacts in the Museum. She explained there are four rules for preserving the precious keepsakes: clean, cool, dry, and dark. All the materials and artifacts in the Library are stored in a dark environment that is kept at about 65 degrees with humidity at 43 percent. Mark DePue, Director of the ALPLM Oral History department stressed the importance of interviewing eyewitnesses to history. He showed us examples of some amazing interviews with W.W.II veterans and one of Illinois’s first female basketball players able to play thanks to Title IX. DePue said we can preserve history with modern technology--oral history can show opinions, reflections, insights and emotional responses.

The anecdotes bring history to life. He stressed the importance of designing a mission and a theme for the interview, and being sure the narrator is relaxed and comfortable relating his/her story. The interviewer must be knowledgeable and prepared. He/she has to guide an interview and be objective. He/she must ask leading questions and most importantly, must LISTEN. DePue gave us great sites on the ALPLM web site to create assignments in recording oral history for our classes. The Museum features a temporary exhibit that changes each year; this year’s exhibit is “To Kill and to Heal,” a study of weaponry and surgical methods during the Civil War. Jack Navins, a retired navy physician and ALPLM volunteer, explained to us which of the Civil War medical tools are still used today in surgery, and which are obsolete. These included some nasty-looking amputation tools. “We have automated machines today for that--not those old fashioned saws,” Navins said. He told us of the process of making a temporary exhibit, including choosing a topic and title, writing a script, selecting graphics, and arranging loans of artifacts, and finally cutting (there are loads of documents and photos to choose from!). The sketchy history of Civil War surgeons is based on a weird

system where medical school students paid the faculty directly. Doctors would pool together and open a school. They wouldn’t kick any students out because, of course, they looked forward to collecting students’ tuition money again the next semester. Students

would take the same courses 2, 3, or 4 times. In war, both sides were very unprepared to deal with injuries and sickness. At first there were no ambulances. The wounded would walk away from battle with one or two other soldiers supporting them. This would take not just one, but probably three men out See LINCOLN Page 3 

of action. The battle of Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862, was the bloodiest day in American military history with no supplies for field hospitals. But this battle was the first to introduce ambulances. The Battle of Fredericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862, brought the first adequate medical preparation. Because of open terrain, casualties could not be evacuated until dark; many men lay bleeding and suffering on the battlefield from 6:00 A.M. until sundown. The Battle of Gettysburg fought July 1-3, 1863, is the largest battle ever fought in the New World. There were 160 hospitals, 45 of them in homes. Supplies were kept 25 miles away, and railroads were closed until July 6. Of the 650 Union surgeons, 544 left in pursuit of Robert E. Lee’s retreating men. The advances that came from medical trial-and-error in the Civil War included organization, pavilion-style hospital design (the pavilion makes a good triage center during traumatic crisis), production of smallpox vaccinations, experiments with quinine to prevent malaria, improvement of surgical skills, and development of

neurology as a medical specialty. Also, nursing switched from being an all-male profession to a femaledominated profession. We learned most deaths during the Civil War were due to disease, not gunshots. Dysentery, diarrhea, consumption, and typhoid fever were the #1 killers. 28 percent of the wounds were treated with amputations. Mark DePue returned and gave facts in his “Lincoln: Commander and Chief” presentation regarding Lincoln’s two objectives when elected President: preserving the Union with the Confederate states rejoining, and continuing the great American experiment. Lincoln swore the Union would not fire the first shot in the Civil War; thus, it began with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter. The Union army had 16,000 troops; they were scattered, regimental-sized, led by inexperienced officers, and commanded by a very old military advisor who had a tiny staff. Lincoln didn’t call up a large number of men to serve because he didn’t want to spread fear about a long upcoming battle. Every white, able man aged between 18 to 45 served in the militia. Lincoln’s own war experience included being elected command-

Monday, August 20, 2012 er in the militia fighting the Blackhawk War. He shot no one in his wartime experience. He knew nothing about the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief but became a self-taught strategist. He sat down with military experts and asked them questions. To win the war, Lincoln needed economic, technological, social, political, and diplomatic strategies. Technologically, he made use of railroads, telegraph, steampowered ironclads, rifled muskets, new minne ball ammunition, and improved artillery with fasterloading weapons. Socially, he needed the will of the people to persevere. The South had the advantage based on culture, politics, religion, and beliefs. Politically, he had to convince the secessionist states to rejoin the union. He said, In a letter to Horace Greeley dated Aug. 22, 1862, “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that . . . “He needed to preserve the border states (Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia,

Fillmore County District Court Report On August 2, 2012, Cody Lee Bartlett, 21 of Stewartville, appeared before Judge Robert Benson at the Fillmore County Courthouse. Bartlett faced charges of Burglary in the 3rd degree, which has a maximum penalty of five years in jail, $10,000 or both, as well as charges for Theft, with a maximum penalty of one year in jail, $3,000 or both.

Maryland, and Delaware). After each major battle, the goals changed. His generals--McClellan at Antietam, Burnside at Fredericksburg, Meade at Gettysburg, and Grant at Vicksburg-each made different forms of progress that affected the next strategy. Keeping track of all the history Lincoln created is Kathryn Harris, the ALPLM Director of Library Services. She gave us a tour of the spectacular three floors of facilities. Springfield’s Presidential Library started in 1889, and it has always kept Abraham Lincoln documents. The Library holds over 200,000 books and maps in its first floor reading area and the climate-controlled basement. The basement floor had to be reinforced to support the magnificent weight of the compact shelving full of bound books. The Library holds over 12 million manuscripts, 400,000 audiovisual documents, and over 100,000 reels of newspapers on microfiche. Thanks to generous donors, The Library owns 120 copies of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin--several are 1st editions, and several are printed in many world languages. The Library owns over 15,000 artifacts about Abraham Lincoln.

Not only Lincoln history is documented at the Presidential Library, but so is all of Illinois history. As Harris’s assistant, Jane, noted, “If you were born in, lived in, died in, or even passed through Illinois for a couple hours, you’re recorded in this Library.” An amazing capper to the day was our delicious catered dinner in the large plaza of the Museum. While we ate and visited, the Lincoln family dressed in their best stood guard, and we sat in the crossroads of Abe’s log cabin and the White House. We were awarded certificates, souvenir coins, silver bookmarks, and photos, and then a special guest appeared: Harriet Tubman. Kathryn Harris, as it turns out, is not only an amazing librarian, but also a gifted speaker who brought Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railroad conductor, to life before our eyes. She told her stories of helping slaves escape to freedom and made it clear she “never got caught, and never lost a passenger.” All the teachers agreed we learned more from her 20-minute oratory than we could ever have gotten out of reading a book or watching a video. She was enthralling. Read the last installment of the series in next week’s Fillmore County Journal!

20, 2012. Nicole Marie Pearson, 32 of Goodview, Minn., appeared before Judge Benson on August 13, 2012, for sentencing. She was found guilty of check forgery- make or alter a check, which has a maximum penalty of five years, $10,000, or

both. Pearson was sentenced to the Shakopee Correctional Facility for 15 months, which was stayed for five years. She must serve 90 days in work release at the Fillmore County Jail, and supervised probation for five years.

C ommentary Balancing gun rights and public safety By Yvonne Nyenhuis The first letter that my husband and I received from the NRA arrived in 1965, forty-seven years ago. Included was a picture of some desperate, scrawny individuals peering out through the bars of a dirty jail in a foreign country. The message was,“This can happen to Yvonne you. You are Nyenhuis in danger! The government will take away your guns. Be afraid, be very afraid!” The Second Amendment was

written in 1791. “A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. We had just fought a war for Independence, carried out by State Militias made up of farmers and tradesmen who brought their own guns to the fray. At this time we relied on State Militias to protect our country from invading armies. The law was written to ensure our National security. It did not suggest that we needed to fear our own government, nor did it mention hunting. After the war of 1812, it became clear that we needed a unified force, an Army and Navy under

Letter about fracking sand To the Editor, Let’s be positive about fracking sand and find a way to speed the production of some of the large amount of energy in this country. Let’s give the families who struggled at times to maintain this area of Minnesota that we love a chance to make a buck and harvest sand. Let’s put a moratorium on the war in Afghanistan

and utilize those troops to develop our energy resources here at home. If you had a son or daughter in Afghanistan, would you think differently about fracking sand? Last week nine Marines were killed in Afghanistan. Let’s do something for our country and put up with a little bit of dust and noise. Jim Ostrem Lanesboro, MN

Editorial Cartoon

the auspices of the Federal government to protect our National interests. Today we have the most powerful Military in the world and a police force to enforce local laws. In the literal sense, the reason for “keeping and bearing arms” no longer exists. This law needs to be re-examined in the light of our present reality. Hunting laws are firmly established and regulated by the States. The only time Federal law can take precedence over State law is in matters of National Security . The NRA has perpetuated the myth over the years, “The government will take your guns, be afraid! This has no more substance than a shadow that disappears when the Letter about nuclear disarmament To the Editor, As of July 2012 Mayors For Peace (MFP) had 5,296 member cities in 153 countries, including over half the world’s capital cities and 190 US members. At the annual meeting in June the US Conference of Mayors (USCM) unanimously adopted the new MFP resolution. (Rochester Mayor Ardell Brede was one of 18 sponsoring the MFP resolution.) The resolution includes “NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the U.S. Conference of Mayors reaffirms its call on the President of the United States to implement the UN Secretary-General’s Five-Point Proposal for Nuclear Disarmament forthwith, so that a Nuclear Weapon Convention or a comparable framework of mutually reinforcing legal instrument can be agreed upon and implemented by 2020;” and “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the U.S. Conference of Mayors call on Congress to terminate funding for modernization of nuclear

sun goes down. The government is not made up of aliens from outer space. We are the government. The government is us! We are in no danger of losing our right “to keep and bear arms.” The Leadership of the NRA wants us to believe that they exist to protect our “second amendment rights.” They invite you to become a member of their organization and contribute money toward this noble fight to ensure our freedom and independence. Actually they use the money to pay lobbyists, to donate to political campaigns and to feed propaganda to the media. Their lawyers write our gun laws. There is a picture of Governor Jeb Bush signing “Stand your ground” into law. By his side is a member of the NRA. President Bush said he

would support the ban on assault weapons. Some how in 2004, when the time came to re-instate the ban, the time quietly slipped by with no signature. President Bush was rewarded by a campaign donation by friends of the NRA. Our country has been traumatized by assassinations, President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Reverend King and a growing number of mass murders. The NRA laments, “It’s a dangerous world. We should rush out and buy more guns to protect ourselves!” President Obama is for a ban on assault weapons, but he needs our support and congress behind him to make it happen. Freedom is not just fought on the battlefield. We fight for freedom every day in the choices we make in our minds and in our hearts.

warheads, delivery systems and production facilities...” We should not accept spending on nuclear weapons that is anywhere even close to the “$A700 billion...over the next decade” as estimated by the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and others. On Feb. 8, 2012, Rep. Ed Markey introduced H.R. 3974 that would cut spending on modernization of nuclear weapons and their delivery systems by $100 billion over 10 years. Call Rep. Tim Walz and request he cosponsor H. R. 3974 and call Senators Klobuchar and Franken and request they advocate for a similar bill in the Senate.

jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal. com The Class of 2025 This past week really made me think about how swiftly the years are flying by. Our kids, more than anything, are my measurement of time. Last Mon- Jason Sethre day evening, Tonya Keim organized a gathering in Harmony for all of the families of children graduating from Fillmore Central High School in 2025. Yes, this was what I would refer to as a “pre-union” for the Class of 2025, since they are entering kindergarten this week. It was a potluck full of more food than a Thanksgiving feast. The kids played while the parents chatted. Of course, I’d like to commend Tonya for bringing it all together. This event wouldn’t have happened without her efforts. We also had group pictures of the Class of 2025 taken on the

bleachers of the football field. It will be wonderful to look back on those pictures about 13 years from now and see how the kids have changed. I hope we have more events like this over the years. Thanks to Tonya! What was most interesting to me was the car ride back home to Fountain. I told my wife, “Wow! Olivia will graduate in 2023 and I will be 49-yearsold. I’ll be 51-years-old when Landon graduates from high school.” Listening to our conversation, Olivia said, “Whoa! You’ll be 51!?!” Well, if that doesn’t make you get excited about getting old, I don’t know what does. Just For Kicks On Tuesday night, we had our last Fillmore Central Community Education Youth Soccer session with a parents versus kids and coaches game. As I told the kids, ranging from three-yearsold on up to 10, this was their biggest game of the season. And, it was quite an event. Right at kick-off, the parents took possession of the ball. And, I wish I would have videotaped that kick-off. It was like the running of the bulls. The kids swarmed in the direction of whichever parent went after the soccer ball. Sometimes,

there were so many kids crowding around the ball, that you couldn’t even see if there was a soccer ball in the mix. And, then someone would punt the ball out of the pile of kids and the swarm would follow that blackand-white checkered orb. Right away, the parents marched down the field and chalked up three unanswered goals. But, as time went on, the kids came back to tie it up in the second half of the game for a final score of 3 to 3. The kids might say they scored four goals, but it was too hard to tell from where I was standing on the field. A tie sounds good to me. For me, the soccer experience for my children relates to how my dad approached sports with me when I was growing up. My father told me that he wanted me to try as many sports as possible so I could figure out which ones I liked the most. I played football, basketball, baseball and soccer, and by high school I gravitated toward soccer and track. I liked the other sports, too, but soccer really captured my interest. Today, I try to guide my children the same way my father guided me. Our children are not going to be playing soccer in high school in Fillmore County in my lifetime. The student populations could never support it, and it could draw students away from other sports. I’ve had parents ask me if we should try to get soccer

going in our schools, and I just wouldn’t recommend it at this time. It is a fall sport, and we already struggle a bit to cover many of our current sports. To me, I just want my children exposed to another sport such as soccer in case they want to play for recreation later on in life. Yes, time is flying by and 51

This is the second year Fillmore Central Community Education has held a summer youth soccer program that lasts seven weeks starting the first week of July. On Tuesday, August 14, 2012, the last session of soccer involved a match between the kids (and coaches) and parents. The program has expanded from 23 children in 2011 to 54 children in 2012, with ages ranging from three to 10. A special thanks goes out to coaches Jessica Marzolf and Aaron Nevalainen.

2012 motorcyclist fatalities pass 25-death milestone ST. PAUL -- The number of preliminary Minnesota motorcyclist fatalities hit 26 following a deadly July when seven riders were killed, tied with May for deadliest month of the year for riders. This year’s rider deaths are slightly up compared to the 23 at this time last year, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Motorcycle Safety Center (MMSC). To-date in 2012, 191 people have been killed in traffic crashes on Minnesota roads of which 14 percent are riders. At this rate, DPS projects 46 deaths for 2012, which would mark the first time since 2008 that rider deaths have increased. There

were 42 rider deaths in 2011 and 45 in 2010. DPS officials say there are many contributing factors to the deadlier year for riders, including record-high numbers of motorcyclists and early summer-like weather. The first rider death occurred on March 12, the earliest rider death on record since 2002. Officials also note common factors contributing to fatal motorcycle crashes continue, such as failure to yield rightof-way, driver inattention and motorcyclist error. MMSC Program Coordinator, Bill Shaffer, encourages motorists to share the roads, drive at safe speeds and look twice for

motorcyclists. He also says riders should wear full protective gear, including brightly colored jacket, DOT-approved helmet, rider pants, boots and gloves. Most importantly, he encourages riders to get trained. “Training is a life-saving option that teaches riders crashavoidance techniques to stay safe on the road,” says Shaffer. “Any experience level is welcome, you can never get too much training as a new rider, returning rider or experienced rider.” About The Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Center The Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Center (MMSC) provides high-quality rider education, training and licensing to prevent motorcycle crashes and the resulting fatalities and injuries. The MMSC provides oncycle and classroom rider training courses; media relations, events, campaign and informational materials; and third-party skills testing for motorcycle license endorsement through the Basic Rider Course and evening motorcycle testing project at select DVS Exam Stations. The MMSC was created from a state statute to address record high motorcyclist fatalities in the early 1980s. The law also created a state dedicated Motor-

cycle Safety Fund, which comes directly from Minnesota motorcyclists through a portion of motorcycle endorsement fees. Motorcycle safety is a component of _Toward Zero Deaths (TZD), the state’s primary road safety initiative. A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes -- education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

Hidden Valley CUP for Rental Cabins Goes to County Board for Approval approved the CUP with one condition at their August 16 meeting, sending it to the county board for final approval. Tom Kraetsch noted that he intends to rent the cabins seasonally, or weekly/monthly if there are vacancies. The cabins will have three rooms including one bedroom and one bathroom. Each will have a kitchenette and have heating and air conditioning. Water will come from the campground’s private well. There will be one parking spot per cabin.

By Karen Reisner Tom and Shelly Kraetsch came to the Planning Commission last spring with an application to add camping cabins to their campground, only to take back their application to allow the commission time to amend their ordinance. With the amended ordinance in place to allow for camping cabins the couple applied for a CUP to expand Hidden Valley Campground with 5 rental cabins and 5 tent sites, for a total of 41 sites.

There are plans to install a 3,000 gallon septic tank. The five tent sites will be located near the river. Hidden Valley Campground is located in Section 5, Preston Township. During the public hearing there was no comment from township supervisors. Neighbor Dale Loeffler requested signage to keep an easement road private. He was concerned about camping vehicles coming down the dead end drive and parked vehicles on the drive, blocking his access. Loeffler asked that a ditch be maintained for runoff. The commission added the condition to the CUP requiring that signs be installed at the intersection of the road easement reading: Private Drive, No Turn Around, and No Parking Beyond This Point. Wind Energy Conversion Systems Ordinance There have been 18 CUPs granted for wind turbines or meteorological towers since mid 2007. The last one in early August was for a small 400 watt system with a 29 foot tower. The commission discussed allowing small systems like that one to be simply permitted rather than going though the CUP process. Zoning Administrator Chris Graves proposed a definition for a Micro-Wind Energy Conversion System which would not require an application for a CUP. The proposal is for the small systems to be a permitted use in the Ag District only, be 1 kW generating capacity or less and have a supporting tower of 75 feet or less. Duane Bakke was alright with the 75 foot height, as silos can be taller. They shouldn’t pose a problem for air travel. The Micro systems will be prohibited in R-1 Districts. Next Meeting The next meeting will be on September 20, There will be two public hearings, one on the Micro system amendment discussed above and one on removing the city of Ostrander from the county ordinance. Graves expects two CUP applications for feedlots will also be on the agenda.

Canton, assisted with tree trimming and removal. Then, Huff and Peterson began the tedious task of getting the building itself fit for moving. “Larry and I spent countless houses working in the old church basement. We needed to tear out the tin ceiling, stairs, cupboards, sink, stove, refrigerator, furnace and ductwork, plumbing, wiring, basement windows, woodwork, and some doors. Larry then had to remove the outside steps and dismantle the old west entrance. He salvaged the cement walkway and the old outhouse, which we now use as a garden shed.” Work continued as the excavation and construction of the new building foundation began June 11. “Al Torgerson of TLC Excavating did a super job on digging the basement and then getting the cement work done for the basement walls and floor, along with Isaiah Kingsley and Pete Schartzentruber’s crew.” Three days later, and just into the hottest spell of the summer, the basement walls were up. After the heat broke July 10, the crews resumed work, pouring the foundation floor. “Gjere Construction supplied the conveyor truck to transport the cement to the basement floor saving some backbreaking labor that otherwise would have

had to be done by wheelbarrow!” enthuses Huff. Rob and Harold Freerksen, of Rob’s Roofing, were then able to put the sill plate on the basement to keep the project moving along quickly. The duo was somewhat taken aback, although pleasantly surprised, but other donations of time and materials that came as word of the relocation of the church became the community’s biggest topic. Don Anderson donated his time, labor, and the use of a boom truck to assist with the removal of the chimney prior to the move. Likewise, Kerry and Andrew Kingsely assisted with a heavy-duty appliance dolley, to move items out of the basement. Kerry and Jane Kingsley then donated floor jacks for the basement, as well as oil lamps that will be used in the building following its move. “The donations just kept coming,” notes Peterson. “I went to the hardware store to pick something up and was told it was being donated. I couldn’t believe it.” The outpouring of generousity continued; a framed tin ceiling panel from John and Marsha Hanson, a patio door for the basement from Chuck and Deb Daskam for the basement, an antique, handwritten Methodist Church invitation from Marilyn Soland, and even some Murphy’s Oil Soap from Donna Barnes for cleaning in the church.

Nutrition Standards for USDA School Nutrition Programs impacting menus this fall Local schools, Fillmore Central, Mabel-Canton and Chatfield will be effected by the following school lunch changes. School meals across the country will take a more healthy approach this fall when new USDA requirements take effect. The National School Lunch Program (NSLP), administered by the USDA, released new meal and nutrition standards in January 2012 - the first major update in 15 years. This is good news for over 32 million children who will benefit from the requirements, which are designed to improve the health and nutrition of students while helping maintain a healthy weight. The changes are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed by congress and championed by First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Let’s Move campaign.

Fruits and Vegetables •Students will be offered both fruits and vegetables every day of the week, doubling the amount currently offered. •Each student must have at least 1/2 cup fruit and/or vegetable on their tray as part of their meal. •Vegetable categories offered each week will be: 3/4 cup orange or red vegetable, 1/2 cup dark green, 1/2 cup starchy vegetable (green peas, corn, white potatoes), 1/2 cup dried bean/peas (legume). Grains •At least half of the grains offered will be whole grain-rich Milk •Non-flavored milk offerings are limited to 1% or skim (fat-free). All flavored milk, when offered, must be fat-free.

of the duo also got in on the giving with Luanne Peterson, Larry’s mother, giving plant hanger hooks, as well as hosta and sedum plants, and then planting them at the new site along with help from Marilyn Soland. Of notable interest, Peterson’s father, Lloyd, was confirmed in the church and his grandparents were members of the church. Isaiah Kingsley, who worked with TLC Excavating, is a great-grandson one of the builders of the church. Terry Wilford, son of State Line church members Arden and Judy Wilford, was the driver of the cement truck which poured the new foundation floor. It appears that even when it comes to nostalgia and community spirit, what goes around comes around. By August 6, the original site of the church, just west of the Methodist cemetery, was ready to be excavated. Peterson, along with Progressive Movers, of Rochester began the daunting task of lifting the tile foundation away from the building and moving a portion of fencing. Using a network of hydraulic jacks and steel beams placed under the framework, which is typically controlled by a unified jacking system, the entire structure was elevated off the original foundation on Wednesday, August 8. It was ready for transport to the new site by 8 a.m. the next morning, despite drizzling skies on both days.

The 3-man crew from Progressive Movers worked quickly getting the building moved, despite a few creaks and groans from the building, which measures 24 by 36 feet, 28 feet high, and was estimated to weigh just less than 30 tons. Needless to say, the feat was an interesting one for the more than 30 spectators, many former church members, who gathered to watch the process. The crew was aided by an impressive, multi-directional hydraulic system, which allowed for the independent raising of portions of the steel framework, as well as fully oscillating wheels on the rear of the trailer section, which were met with both a few gasps and collective “oohs” and “aahs.” At the new site, large wood beams stacked into piles, called cribs, were used to support the new steel beams during the placing of the building. Using a crawling apparatus, the building was then transferred above the new beams and lowered reversing the steps used to initially elevate it. By 4 p.m., just eight hours after beginning the transfer, the building was on its new foundation, the movers were packed up and leaving, and the misty day gave way to pouring rain. A great deal of coordination took place for the move. TriCounty Electric was on hand to move two public utility lines, one which served the cemetery site and

the other the Peterson homestead. In addition, Morem Electric was called in to move a private utility line at the homestead. No assistance was required from the county sheriff’s office on the rural roads. Progressive Movers also received accolades for their efforts. “Thanks to the crew of Jim Newell, Bruce Mills, and Jeff Nelson the move went smoothly, professionally, and quickly,” adds Huff. “They were excellent to work with!” What does the future hold for the building? Since it is no longer a designated church, its name has been changed to State Line Reflections, due to the mirrored candle holders that will be in place in the building, its function as a place to reflect, as well as the “reflections of memories” that come from 131 years of history within the community. “We want to preserve as much of the building as is possible,” stress Huff and Peterson. “There will be no electricity and no plumbing. We have had the thought of having candlelight or oil lamp events and possibly some nondenominational church services at the holidays, but it will also be a gathering place for our family, friends, and neighbors. We are grateful for the support and encouragement of all who cheered us on during this process!” For more photos and video clips of the State Line Church move, visit www.fillmorecountyjournal. com.

Caloric Level •Minimum and maximum calorie levels are specified depending on the age of the student. The new age groupings are grades K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Other Standards •All menu items will be trans fat-free. There also will be limits on saturated fat and sodium. Taher’s Food 4 Life Healthy Eating Initiative For over 31 years Taher has been committed to menu enhancements for school nutrition programs. For the past several years, Taher has worked to implement healthier options and offerings into our menus and programs. As a result, we are well on our way to meeting the new requirements. With the launch of our Food 4 Life initiative in 2007, we became one of the nation’s largest food service companies to remove trans fats from school nutrition menus. With the leadership of our Nutrition and Wellness Department and our Chef Council, we bring great tasting, healthful foods and innovative programs to schools. Our Food 4 Life menu offerings incorporate the following: •Chef-developed, made-fromscratch items including trans-fat free and whole grain options; •A Fruit and Vegetable Bar as part of the daily menu offerings with a selection of fresh vegetables, and fresh or canned fruit; rainbowfocused menu choices including dark green and orange vegetables, and legumes; •Harvest of the Month program that features a specific fruit, vegetable, and grain or legume each month, along with weekly educational flyers. Stay Tuned! More news to come about the USDA School Lunch Reg-

ulations. As the new school year approaches, we will update everyone with more details periodically throughout the summer and right before school starts. Look for future newsletters, pamphlets, and examples of what will

constitute a healthier school lunch. We are confident the transition will be smooth as we bring back menu favorites, provide new choices and continue to offer nutritious school meals that help promote health and positive life-long eating habits.

cessing mined materials is listed under Prohibited Activity. Steve Beach, a geologist and manager of Milestone Materials (a division of Mathy Construction), insisted that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) governs the use of flocculants. Presently, Mathy is not using them in Fillmore County. He explained that polyacrylamide is a polymer, a dry granular product which is injected with the final washwater. The fine clay particles cling to the flocculant, allowing them to be handled with manual mining equipment. Tara Wetzel, manager of environmental operations at Mathy, noted she has contributed to the drafting of other ordinances. She explained that the MPCA would need to issue a permit to do washing and the agency would need to approve the use of a flocculant. Wetzel noted that polyacrylamide is used as a cleaning agent in the treatment of drinking water; it is also used as a soil conditioner for erosion control. Wetzel said they have monitored air quality for silica since

Monday, August 20, 2012

1997, and that in the mine sites located in the upper Midwest silica is not a problem for employees. Currently, there is no standard for silica in the air. Wetzel suggested a separation would be helpful between “industrial sand” which has a high purity of silica and “construction aggregate” which is sand, gravel or crushed stone used for local construction projects. She admitted that the mining techniques could be similar, but there are differences in the processing of the product. Discussion on Flocculants Committee member David Williams argued that it would be best to outright ban the use of flocculants, as some are toxic. He added that the ban could be a deterrent for establishing large scale mining. Wetzel agreed that a blanket approval of flocculants would not be a good idea. However, in the processing of aggregate, flocculants are sometime necessary. She insisted that polyaccrilamite is an “inert” substance. She noted that acrylamide, which is unpolymerized, is the chemical of concern. Rita Leduc said the subunits that form the polymer are very toxic. She insisted there

is always some acrylamide (a neurotoxin) in the final product. Leduc said there are ongoing toxicity studies of water supplies. She noted that polyacrylamide is also used by some sewage treatment plants. Wetzel remarked that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has zero tolerance for acrylamide in drinking water. Williams remarked that state agencies are weak on enforcement, saying it is the role of the local government for tough enforcement. Wetzel disagreed. Paul Leduc worried that we could be “putting the water supply at grave risk.” County Attorney Brett Corson said there is a consensus of the committee to avoid large industrial operations. He added that the county does not have the expertise to monitor the use of chemicals. He questioned whether the county can rely on the MPCA. Wetzel maintained there are chemicals that the MPCA would ban for use as a flocculant. Commissioner Duane Bakke commented that we are not sure what is being used today; water only, or if flocculants are being used. Wetzel suggested they write into the ordinance that if an operation wants to use chemicals, they must be approved by the MPCA. Beach warned that if flocculants are banned, it may be necessary to import some aggregate materials for construction. County Engineer John Grindeland noted that the use of flocculants in the washing process allows the recycling of the water for processing, using less water. Wetzel admitted that the test for polyaccrilamite is expensive and unreliable. She insisted that the ponds were self sealing, wouldn’t contaminate the water supply, and allow the reuse of the water. Wetzel said the accumulation on the bottom of the ponds had been tested with no difference between that sample and a control sample. Beach opined that it is important not to put regulations into the ordinance that will shut down crushing operations. He said water appropriation is already governed by the MPCA. Beach also was concerned about the potential size limitation of 80 acres. He insisted a permit can be canceled if an operator is not doing a good job. Bakke

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County said a size limitation will help keep out the large industrial operations. Roads Since the last meeting, Zoning Administrator Chris Graves, Engineer John Grindeland, and Attorney Brett Corson met and discussed bonding issues and other options to pay for possible damages to the roads. The two issues were how to collect funds and how to prove damage. Their suggestion was for a bond requirement of $150,000 per mile on blacktop roads that are on a designated haul route and $25,000 per mile on gravel roads that are on a designated haul route. Grindeland explained if the trucks hauling the sand were within legal limits they should cause no more damage to the roads than anything else, but the volume would make the difference. Grindeland said it will cost at least $1 million to construct one mile of county road. He noted that the county does a video log of the roads every four years and it is scheduled to be done in 2013. Logs were made in 2005 and 2009. The state also does a traffic count in the same years. Grindeland described a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) strength test that could be done on a road to be used on a sand transport route to establish a baseline on an annual basis. Both lanes could be tested to demonstrate the difference between loaded and unloaded hauls. He said the road would be tested both where it was

being used on a designated hauling route and where it is not designated for a haul route for the control. Grindeland maintained that this test will show road stress before it can be seen on the surface. Dust control would also be required on gravel roads. Larry Thompson, Reilly Construction, said he didn’t think bonding agencies would be willing to write a bond for road damage. Ron Garrison, geologist with Milestone Materials, noted they had checked with a bonding company and found that they were very hesitant to write that kind of bond. Corson warned that the county has to be careful that they aren’t “arbitrary and capricious” in singling out sand trucks. Bakke maintained the concern with sand trucks is the fact that they will be delivering to a specific location and using a specific route. This is unlike other aggregate hauling which may go to numerous locations. Corson said they would have to have that rationale to defend it in court and the county would have to pay to defend it. Bakke remarked that their ordinances haven’t been challenged in maybe 20 years. Thompson suggested if it is determined what it will cost us for road use, it can be worked into the delivery price. However, he felt the cost should be so much per ton on a road regardless of the cargo. Thompson said the bonding company only guarantees we will pay by See SAND Page 11 

looking at our capacity to pay. He insisted bonding won’t work. Wetzel suggested a road maintenance agreement be part of a CUP. Grindeland repeated that a basis is necessary to determine if damage is being done. Blasting Bakke and Williams have been working on language for blasting. Williams listed several points including complying with state and federal statutes, licensing, a pre-blasting survey within one half mile of a site, blasting notification, control of adverse effects, authority for the Zoning Office to investigate complaints as related to permitting, the maintenance of a blasting log, and no storage of blasting materials on site. Beach maintained that blasting damages are rare. Other Discussion Beach was concerned about language in the ordinance draft that wouldn’t allow mining vertically closer than a depth of 10 feet to an existing ground water table or in the shoreland or floodplain district. He insisted these areas are where you find your best sand and gravel. Williams objected, saying our priority isn’t to protect mining operators. Wetzel said it is very common to mine in the water table. Beach argued it is a benefit to the community to fill our customers needs. Bakke remarked that Big

Monday, August 20, 2012

Springs quarry probably would not have been allowed into the spring if it was permitted today. Beach again said that this may require importing of aggregate for the roads in the county. Bakke said there will be a conversation with the DNR about this language. Wetzel argued that taking aggregate out of the flood way and flood fringe will create more places for the flood water to go and provide flood relief. She insisted the state is already well regulated in the water arena. Donna Rasmussen, SWCD, said they need to investigate the effects on water temperature and trout streams. Bakke commented that they need to come up with a balance between economic activity, environment, and property rights. Lanesboro Request The city of Lanesboro requested by letter that the economic impact from sand mining be studied, including the economic impact and effect in Lanesboro on 115 small businesses, property values, and the tax base and financial impact on budgets for the city and county. Bakke read the letter and said they will look into the request later on. Bakke assured them that it was very unlikely that sand trucks would go through Lanesboro on Highway 250.

Happy 50TH Anniversary

Jim & Ada Austin (Turnmire) from Harmony, were married August 26, 1962 at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, IA. Alice Erickson Bockman from Decorah, IA & Nate Sikkink from Rochester, MN stood up with them.

Jim & Ada had 4 children, Scoot (Donna Peterson), Michael (Denise Bonnerud), Tori (Brian Kenney), and Konya (Joe Bloomquist). They have 8 grandchildren, 3 stepgrandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren

Awaken the Senses I had been working at the computer all day, living only inside my head and stuck in the chair. Returning to the real world, I glance out the open window to the lush green treetops swaying in the breeze. The call of a blue jay pierces the air. A squirrel scampers along the limb of a tree, severing acorns which fall to the deck with a loud crack. I rise and move my creaky neck, realizing I need a break. I don the appropriate garden shoes for the day, all piled conveniently by the door so I don’t forget and accidentally step out in clean shoes, for inevitably they will become coated with soil and grass clippings. Shall it be sandals, waterproof crocs, tennis shoes, hiking boots—today is a sandal day. Stepping out onto the shady boardwalk, I immediately take in the green smell of summer. The heat wave is past and the fresh air now brings an invitation to venture out. Sure enough, the deck is peppered with acorns and bits of those laboriously chewed open by the squirrels. I grab the broom from the woodshed and quickly sweep everything clean. Swinging my arms and following the daily pattern around patio furniture I manage to tidy things up and get my blood flowing. Moving out into the sunshine, I take in the warmth and the full landscape of our hidden hilltop. Beyond the lawn is the full spread of the garden, flowers in full bloom and towers of tomatoes and beans reaching high. Beyond that rise the apple trees with apples visible as they begin to turn red. The towering pine trees, now nearly thirty years old, punctuate the view. Behind it all is the sheep pasture, and I glimpse the quietly grazing sheep and lambs as they do their work tidying up the formerly rampant pasture, no longer full of wild parsley. Moving into the garden beds, I

notice white moths fluttering over the cabbage and broccoli, warning of the coming green cabbage worms. I also see an occasional Monarch and yellow swallowtail butterfly, madly moving from this flower to that. I listen closely to a buzzing noise and zero in on a humming bird working showy pink hibiscus flowers. I pluck a few of the blooms, intending to make some ice tea. That thought leads me to the mint and the lemon verbena, so I gather a few branches, bruising the leaves and taking in the distinctive aromas which will permeate the tea. The birds are calling from all around, little brown birds I find hard to identify. Wrens and small sparrows leave nests tucked in the trees and bushes all over the gar-

den. I am grateful for their cheerful presence and glad to provide all the garden pests they need for a healthy diet. My eye is drawn to the ripe red tomatoes, so I grab a bucket and begin to fill it. Each tomato is heavy and warm to my hand, fragrant with tomato-ness. The little red Matt’s tomatoes and aptly named Sungold tomatoes beg to be popped directly into my mouth, releasing a sweet explosion of summer flavor. The melon bed is a mess of discolored and wilting leaves caused by some blight, but no matter. There are dozens of cantaloupes, honeydews and watermelons now lying in the sun. I tiptoe between the vines, hefting the orbs to determine which will slip off the vine, indicating they are as ripe as they are going to get. The basket is overflowing with the heady scent of musky muskmelons. I kick off my sandals and walk over the cool, soft grass to lay back in the sun-warmed Adirondack chair. I close my eyes and take in the sensations through my skin, ears and nose. My mind is empty, taking in the here and now.

Pesto

Drop 2 cloves garlic and a teaspoon of salt into a running food processor to mince. Add three cups tightly packed basil leaves and 2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts. Process into a paste. Drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil and puree. At this point pesto can be frozen. Drop tablespoon sized blobs onto a wax paper-covered cookie sheet and freeze. Frozen chunks can be stored in a ziplock bag for future use on pizzas, pasta, bread, soups and salads. Add parmesan cheese when preparing. To use fresh pesto, mix in 1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan. Leftover pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, covered with a film of oil.

Lanesboro School Board approves handbooks By Jade Sexton The Lanesboro School Board heard from high school Principal Brett Clarke and approved three handbooks at their regular meeting on August 16. The first handbook was the Student Handbook. Clarke said the only change made was the semester test policy. Previously the policy read that a student can miss three days per semester with exceptions, and can still choose whether or not to take the semester tests, as long as they are getting an A or a B. The new recommendation was to change it to five days per semester with no exceptions. It was felt it would be easier to enforce if there were no exceptions. Board member Lolly Melander said the only concern she had was her daughter, who has orthodontic appointments, and they try to miss

as little school as possible. Clarke explained that it will be 40 school hours per semester they can miss before they are not allowed to skip the end of the semester tests. Vacations are still excused absences, explained Superintendent Jeff Boggs, but they will not be exempt from the semester test policy. The second handbook was about the computers that each student in grades 9-12 will be receiving the first couple of days of school. Clarke said forms will be going home for parents to read and sign regarding the notebooks. He mentioned that accidental damage is part of the cost of these computers, but abuse and misuse are not covered. He believes the students will take good care of them, especially the first year. The hope is to work toward

reducing the number of textbooks the school will have to purchase, as they will be able to use interactive programs in place of the actual books. The computers are protected from having too many programs downloaded. The handbook was approved. The third handbook approved was for the online school program. There are several courses being offered to students who want to take one or all of their high school classes online. It is mainly geared toward 9-12 graders. There will be a limit of 50 students total the first year of this program. Fall sports coaching contracts were approved.

ExpoCulinaria, a food lovers event - you be the judge By Team ExpoCulinaria The date Saturday, September 22nd is circled on calendars and hungry culinary fans are getting their tickets early for the 2012 ExpoCulinaria—a taste of Rushford, MN. Relished from the success of last year, ExpoCulinaria is on entertainment menus for 5-8 pm rain or shine. Located below lush Magelssen Bluff and surrounding hillsides in downtown Rushford, this valley location is ideal for the energetic and fun-filled, scrumptious array of events. The evening promises to be filled with sampling and strolling through participating restaurants and businesses, a wine and beer tasting, music, judging, competition and winning. The highly anticipated gastronomic taste experience will also coincide with the 3rd September weekend of, Taste of the Trail, highlighting the cities of Rushford, Rushford Village and Houston on the Root River Trail System. The delectable big show of the evening will be the Chef Challenge, Bring It to the Table. The culinary competition between two professional chefs will create mouthwatering appetizers, entrées and desserts that will utilize surprise ingredients, for a panel of judges. This delicious detail will be led off this year by panel of three judging on a point scale for presentation, creativity and taste. Meet ExpoCulinaria judge number one. With a passion for visiting

the California wine region and a dream to grow grapes and eventually make good wine of their own, Mike along with his wife, Kim began creating Tower Ridge Vineyard in the Root River Valley, near Rushford, MN. The adventure began in the early part of 2005, when Mike & Kim found a 60 acre parcel that showed great promise. They began experimenting in 2007 growing different varietals and fine tuning their skills on the appropriate trellising system to support these precious grapes. Oh yeah - and creating some good wine! Mike’s career started with the US Air Force in the mid-70’s. Then he started a 20 year career with IBM in Texas and then spent 5 years working for a technology start-up company. Throughout Mike’s adult life he has been flying and now his talents are being put to use as a Captain pilot for United Express. In his spare time, you might see him lending a hand at the Rushford Hardware store. But Mike’s alter ego lives in the culinary world. Mike is passionate about creating elaborate 5 (five) course dinners for his friends. These dinners are also complimented with 2 or 3 appropriate wine choices based on what he is creating. The menus range from beef to pork or maybe even lamb, depending on what inspires him. But whatever he is creating, you can be sure it will be a memory for your taste buds. Mike loves to work in the kitchen or on the grill and will bring a unique

Rushford grows its appeal By Kirsten Zoellner While much of the news out of Rushford in the last year has been somewhat “hot button,” at least two items of particular interest will appease both the community traditionalists and those of a more progressive nature. First up, ExpoCulinaria! Heading into its second year, following a phenomenal showing in 2011, the “Experience of Taste” is slated to be held September 22 and is garnering much attention. The culmination of the Chamber of Commerce’s desire to promote Rushford businesses and to upgrade the former Taste of Rushford, the event sold over 140 tickets last year. This year, the group aims to sell 200 tickets, including a dozen VIP tickets, which according to Terri Benson, are already sold out. While last year’s event was

beautifully located at the Hoiland Mill, this year’s event will be situated at the heart of downtown, an effort the group hopes will further the recognition of local businesses and eateries. “We have three goals,” noted Benson to the council, “Provide a community festival, highlighting local foods and eventually maybe the arts, increase traffic to local businesses, and promote teamwork between chamber of commerce members.” ExpoCulinaria will coincide this year with the Taste of the Trails, a Root River trail town cooperative event. “Coordinating the two events should prove to be a very special weekend for Rushford,” added Benson. The city unanimously approved the use of a large tent at the just east of the intersection of highways 43 and 30, the two

Dealer

roads into the center of the city. The 20 by 40 foot tent will house ‘Bring It To the Table,’ a professional chef event, which plays out much like the rigorous and creative contest on shows such as Iron Chef. The challenge will this year include a local chef, Steven Burdey, and returning champion from 2011, Doug Dahlgren. Unknown, or at least kept under wraps, are the secret ingredients in which the two chefs must create their dishes before the competition timer runs out. Tickets will be taken at the event and according to Benson are available at all businesses which are chamber members and at the chamber office. The event runs from 5 to 8 pm, Saturday, September 22. Watch for further details about the event in the Fillmore County Journal and at www.rushfordchamber.com. The other item of interest is the upgrading and continuation of the famous, lighted Rushford

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week. tree. Upgrades to the tree itself and the electrical supply line that keep it lit will need to be made prior to the 2012 holiday season. While the total project cost is slated at $15,000, the city has already seen labor and equipment donations from four companies that will reduce the city’s portion to $7,500. A new tower will be constructed by Connaughty Sales and the tree then wired and lighted by high-tech LED lights courtesy of Norman’s Electric and TriCounty Electric. The trenching of a new electrical supply line, which is of great need, comes in with a price tag of $4,500, but that amount is already included in the total project cost. Fund from the Rushford Municipal Electric Commission are available, but City Administrator Steve Sarvi is confident that at least a portion of that amount can be found through local fundraising. “It’ll be more

robust,” he noted when discussing the upgrades. “It’s held up, but there are some issues with it. We can find a way to fund it, to keep it lit and keep it going. It’s an important thing for the community.” Councilor Mark Honsey agreed about the Magelssen’s Bluff landmark. “It’s just one of those things. It’s just supposed to be there, like the Rushford sign.” The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, August 27, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
