Tackling tile, loving a new look By Wendy WilSon

Recognizing our
The pride and satisfaction derived from completing a home improvement project is realized each day - just by looking across the room. With a little sweat, hard work and some good design advice, an individual can save 30 to 40 percent of the cost of installing a tile floor if they do it themselves, according to tiling expert Jim Korsmo. Korsmo co-owns the Tile Superstore & More in Rochester with Lorrie Swancutt and Travis Prigge. “Now that summer’s over, I think everybody’s starting to look at the projects they left behind,” Korsmo says. “I think a lot of people are trying to get projects done before the holidays.” One such project is installing bathroom floor tile. Kor-
smo shared the relatively simple instructions to get the job done. The project takes two days. Estimated labor time is about 12 to 16 hours for a 40 to 50 squarefoot bathroom. Installing bathroom floor tile is “well within the realm of a do-it-yourselfer” he says, but he recommends assistance for updating other areas of the bath such as installing a shower. A professional is usually needed in the shower region because a rubber liner must be employed with careful attention to pitch and water-proofing. So, let’s get started. Installing the underlayment Thoroughly clean the area to be tiled. Next, trowel an underlayment thinset mortar to adhere fiberock to the plywood floor. Different adhesive methods may be

New construction or remodeling? By Jade Sexton jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com
In Fillmore County, the number of new houses being built has gone down a little in 2012. There are still people getting building permits for additions, garages, sheds, or farm buildings, but those numbers are also down slightly in 2012. In 2010, there were 294 building permits issued in Fillmore County, and 54 of those were for brand new homes. In 2011, 335 building permits were issued, and 49 were for brand new homes. So far in 2012, there have been 181 building permits issued. At this
time last year, the number was 240. There have been 20 new homes built in Fillmore County so far this year. The trend seems to be that more and more people are remodeling or adding on instead of constructing a new home. Many garages were put up, both attached and detached, and there are new sheds and farm buildings being built. The struggles with the economy have affected everyone, even the smaller communities, and people are being more cautious with their money. The U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development report
that new home construction was up in July about 15 percent from July of 2011. Many reports say this is a sign that the economy is stabilizing, and things are looking up. Property costs have gone down, and record-low interest rates are helping to stimulate the economy in all areas of the country. Although things may have slowed down some this year for Minnesota, and other parts of the country, the hope is that next year there is some improvement, and that things will pick up in the construction industry, which will affect many other areas economically as well.

Heat up Minnesota helping people stay warm this winter By Jade Sexton jsexton@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Lennox Industries is teaming together with the businesses that sell their products to give away 100 free furnaces throughout Minnesota. VIS Plumbing and Heating in Lanesboro and Harmony is part of that giveaway. Mike Willford, son of owner John Willford, explained the dealerships are donating the materials to install the furnaces, and the installers are donating their time to put them in. “They are looking for somebody less fortunate, someone who has had a bad break, a military family, something that will pick them up and put them on the right track,” said Willford. This is the first year of the Heat up Minnesota program. According to Willford, the program was started in Wisconsin, where it was very successful. VIS Plumbing and Heating services heating and air conditioning in homes throughout
Fillmore and Houston counties. Willford said they would be putting one furnace in Fillmore County for sure. “The entry fees are due by September 15, and then on Heat up Minnesota day, all of the furnaces will be installed on October 6,” said Willford. “I talked to Lennox, and as of right now, there are 160 people that have entered in Minnesota,” said Willford. The new furnace is a really good deal for someone who needs proper and efficient heating this winter. The cost of the furnace depends on the size and the efficiency, but the more efficient furnaces will also decrease energy bills, as the cold Minnesota winters can also be a financial burden on homeowners. To nominate someone you feel is deserving of a new furnace for his or her home, go to www.heatupmn.org and fill out an entry form. A committee from Lennox will be going over the entries and picking 100 deserving people.

During a short meeting on September 4, 2012, the Preston City Council approved the preliminary levy for 2013 at $672,725. This comes out to an increase of 2.9 percent. It was noted that at that increase, a person with a home that is worth $100,000 would pay $20 more per year in property taxes. Mayor Kurt Reicks reminded the council that they couldn’t increase the levy or budget before it is finalized, but they can decrease it. The final will be set in December. The council approved a new five-year contract with S&S Sanitation. Owner Tony Severson went over a few changes from the previous contract. The cost will increase 0.5 percent each year. The senior citizens discount for people over 65 was $1.00 off and will now be $2.00 off. There is also a change from the 30-day notice to a 10-day notice.

Your Challenge- Experience ExpoCulinaria 2012 “Bring it to the table,” is not just an engaging command or culinary taste bud invitation, but it will also prove an entertaining challenge for the upcoming professional chef cook-off in Rushford, MN. At the feature September 22nd attraction of ExpoCulinaria— An Experience in Taste, two “seasoned” chef ’s talents and knowledge will be put to the fire under the big top in downtown Rushford as they create an array of scrumptious appetizers, entrees and desserts. Utilizing an unknown pantry of food and surprise ingredients in a limited amount of time, the chefs will vie for top honors and prizes from a panel of judges. The winner must achieve the highest point score for presentation, creativity and taste. Returning to defend his 2011 winner title is Chef Douglas Dahlgren of LaCrosse, WI. Dahlgren attended the Art Institutes International Minnesota in Minneapolis, receiving an Associate’s degree in the Culinary Arts. While attending school, Dahlgren worked professionally at Barbette in uptown Minneapolis. Here he learned the importance of working with local farmers, and how to utilize local and seasonal ingredients in his menus. After graduation in 2005, Dahlgren began working at Signatures Restaurant in Winona, MN as a line cook,
quickly working his way up through the ranks; Lead Line Cook, Pastry Chef, Sous Chef, to the title of Executive Chef. He is currently Executive Chef at Culina Mariana Café at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in LaCrosse. Dahlgren believes fully in the farm to table concept by educating the public about where their food comes from. Also that we all have a responsibility in supporting our local economy by buying as much as we possibly can locally. Dahlgren doesn’t see this as a fad, but an ethical obligation. Chef Dahlgren’s approach to food, “Start with good fresh seasonal ingredients, animals raised by people you know, and do as little as possible to mess it up.” His 2012 competitor Chef Steven Burdey grew up in Green Bay, WI, and studied Education at Concordia University in Milwaukee, WI. In the midst of his book studies, Chef Burdey came to the realization of his love of and the desire to create with food. Chef Burdey has 25 years of restaurant experience, studying under Chef Kevin Cassidy of Currents Restaurant in Alma, WI. Most recently Chef Burdey studied with Chef Laurie Farley at Kate and Gracie’s Restaurant also in Alma, specializing in pastas and cheesecake. He is currently serving as Chef at
Perkins Restaurant in Winona, MN and serving as Consultant and Chef at Awakenings Coffee House also in Winona, MN. Newly married, Burdey lives in Rushford with his wife Kristin and children Annika, Gabe and Isaac. In his spare time, and at the encouragement of his wife, Burdey recently took on a role in Rushford’s 2012 RASA theatrical production ‘You Can’t Take it with You’. Burdey may well be hoping to prove he can take the winning prize with him. This busy Chef says, “I am excited and ready to take on the challenge of ExpoCulinaria 2012.” Gastronomic temptations for your pleasure can be sampled throughout downtown Rushford during the course of the 5-8 pm evening event. Included will be ethnic fare at Norsland Lefse including tasty lefse appetizers, Uffda Chips, specialty cheese and pastry samples and Spring Grove soda. The Creamery Pizza & Ice Cream will serve out flavorful pizza options, scrumptious cheesecake, Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream samples, 1919 Root Beer and specialty wine. At Shawnee’s Bar & Grill you will delight on scrumptious tenderloin tips and specialty beverages, while Stumpy’s Restaurant and Bar will serve up their awesome deep dish pizzas, yummy cucumber ranch appetizers and

Letter about frac study group To the Editor, I wish to make a correction in your coverage of the frac sand study group. When I spoke about the positive economic impacts of scenic highway designation I was not talking about our Scenic Highway #16. I was referring to a study
by the University of Minnesota on the Detroit Lakes Area scenic highway. The beauty of the Lake District brings in $38 million annually, including 635 jobs and $12.6 million in labor income. Our scenic treasure in Southeast Minnesota is even more spectacular than the Lake District. I suspect, therefore, that
the revenues and jobs generated by scenic highway #16 would be much greater. And these revenues and jobs are sustainable, but only as long as our Bluff Country stays beautiful. Donna Buckbee Rushford MN
Letter about frac sand To the Editor, I am concerned this frac sand business is capable of getting so big so fast, that many people beyond the land owner and few workers will be greatly affected. That is why we need good solid information for the townships, counties, and states to decide what each community is willing or not willing to live with in their neighborhood. I want the infrastructure, environment, scenery, water, air, noise, property values to not be irreversibly damaged. I want our citizens to keep control, and not allow a business to rape
oodles of acres in our area. For example, if we decide to allow this business, then lets limit the size and density of frac sand pits. A positive viewpoint is important on this frac sand mining issue. I suggest this viewpoint includes good studies of the entire issue. This business would bring economic increases for some land owners, and decreases for neighboring owners. Some jobs may be created, and others may be lost if we lose people not wanting to visit, retire, or live here because of scenery, traffic, noise, water, or air issues. Trading asset values is an important
balance. I am a dairy farmer from Canton, and a long time member of Land Stewardship Project (LSP). LSP is conservation-minded farmers, rural citizens and urban supporters that value and work for healthy soils, clean water and air, opportunities for young farmers to get started, revitalizing rural economies, affordable health care for all, township rights, and the preservation of our beautiful landscapes.

He has the courage to make difficult choices where our national security is involved. I guess if Mitt Romney is “against everything that President Obama is for,” that he’s against all these things. So far I haven’t seen him take a stand on any moral issue and he changes his mind more often than he changes his socks!

C ommentary Unencumbered by the Facts on personal income seemed to have increased tax receipts. It’s believed that was not the case with the corresponding reduction in corporate taxes. But the Bush-era tax cuts were clearly disasterous to revenues. We are well below the marginal rate at which we could cut taxes and grow our way out of the deficit. But the Republicans continue to insist to the contrary. Here’s an idea! Let’s reduce the tax rate to zero! Medicine. Consider the comments of Todd Akin, Missouri Senate hopeful, about “legitimate rape.” He still meant “forcible rape,” which incomprehensibly assumes not all rape is actual rape and insultingly imagines that women might claim “rape” to justify sexual relations. It’s in the Republican Platform! It’s the other part of Akin’s comments that illustrate the point: his claim that a woman’s body shuts down to prevent pregnancy in a rape. This is medi-
By David Hansen Near as I can tell, that’s the campaign theme of the Republican effort this year. It seems a bit weak when compared to classics from the past, like “It’s Morning in America,” “Yes We Can” and “Hope and Change.” This is a group that has publicly avowed that they will not “be dictated by fact-checkers.” I give them points for honesty, David Hansen I’m just not comfortable with that as a leadership policy. Here are but a few examples: Economics: Supply-side economics is a valid piece of the whole field, but the idea that reducing marginal tax rates automatically increases tax revenues is faulty. There is a point in the tax rate at which that is true; the first year of the Reagan-era tax cuts

Presidential candidate Paul Ryan. They say the economic stimulus plan was ineffective after working diligently to reduce its impact. It is important to remember this: in budget negotiations last year, the proposals offered by President Obama would reduce the deficit twice as fast as the Republican/Ryan plan would have. The Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility. Republicans will offer no specifics as to how they will achieve increase defense spending, preservation of Social Security while again cutting taxes/reducing tax receipts. None. There again, no facts. The most effective speech of the Republican Convention, according to one poll, was that of Clint Eastwood speaking to a chair. But
cally untrue. But this belief persists, because they want to believe it. They have to believe it, or the Republican Platform that dictates what a woman can do with her own body, even in a rape situation, would seem extraordinarily cruel. Science. Forget it (as many Republicans have). I can’t even begin; the Olmsted County Journal has a limited budget for newsprint. So let’s look at the latest Republican claims; see if you can spot the “irregularities.” It’s easier than, say, running a marathon in under three hours. Mitt Romney is saying “Obama quietly ended work requirements for welfare.” In fact, he strengthened them in a time when jobs are hard to come by. He approved waivers for five states that redirected the efforts to job-building programs, keeping the welfare-to-work program alive. Mitt Romney supported this as well just months ago, though finding that Romney disagrees with Romney is not news. They mourn the lowering of the nation’s credit rating, never mentioning that rating was lowered because the House Republicans signaled that the country might not pay its debt during the debt-ceiling debacle. They fault Obama for not adopting the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan, even though it was killed by a group of Republicans - led by Vice

Where new friends are made and past friends reunite
the best summation of the 2012 Republican effort was the speech of Paul Ryan, a speech labeled as holding the “world record for the greatest number of blatant lies.” But that’s just the “liberal media,” and we all know that...no, wait. That was the assessment of Fox News. I know that both parties “stretch” the truth. But one party is making it a matter of policy, the “platform” on which the campaign is based, and one is appealing to reason. Voltaire will be voting Democrat. We have a clear choice in the upcoming election We can either pick up our torches and pitchforks and attack those ever-bothersome “facts,” or we can grab our thinking caps. I’m size 7 and 5/8.

Rachel Reader
A Playwright for All Seasons—Ibsen and An Enemy of the People By Rachel Hammer Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People is a 19th century Norwegian socia l-problem play examining what happens to the political minority in times of crisis. Ibsen asks how those at the ideological outposts of society treated when their views clash with the majority under the spotlight? What is truth without power? Dr. Stockmann, a citizen in the Norwegian equivalent of Pine Island, MN, discovers that the community bathing springs are contaminated with dangerous toxins. As the town’s doctor, he believes it is his duty to alert the public. Because the springs are small town’s
only tourist attraction, Stockmann’s brother, the mayor, wants to keep the health report quiet. What ensues is a political dog fight between the town doctor, the mayor, the popular press, Stockmann’s wife and children, and eventually, the whole town as pressure builds and societal discomfort is systematically concentrated upon one f i g u r e — t he truth teller. Ibsen wrote An Enemy of the People, Arthur Miller says, as a response to widespread disapproval of his play Ghosts. To Victorian audiences, Ghosts was shocking and sordid because the characters were susceptible to venereal disease despite their moral lifestyles.
Ibsen had hoped Ghosts would be regarded as revolutionary, when instead, it was regarded as revolting. So in Dr. Stockmann’s character, it is not hard to see a pride-aching Ibsen peeking through the mask. Stockmann believes he offers the public the truth. When the truth is refused by the majority, he becomes the “enemy of the people” for holding fast to it. In literature as retaliation, I muse upon where to draw the line between the charm of an appropriate touché and the immaturity/awkwardness of an overextended backlash. In this case, Ibsen not only uses the play to backlash, but he drives a freight train with the I’m Right! caboose straight through the theater. Stockmann’s righteous tirades go on and on. He will not stand for the “colossal stupidity of the authorities!” Ibsen seems to be speaking on his own behalf in speeches like the following: “I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth. . . These ‘majority truths’ are like last year’s cured meat—like rancid, tainted ham; and they are the origin of the moral scurvy that is rampant in our communities!” This point is salient when first made. It is diluted as Dr. Stockmann returns to it
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
again and again and again. Fortunately, Arthur Miller stripped many of these repetitive speeches in his 1950 adaptation, and because he updated some of Ibsen’s antiquated references, trimmed the ending (three acts instead of five), and focused the plot (rather than Ibsen’s personal agenda regarding Ghosts), I recommend the Miller version of the play rather than any earlier translation. There are instances in the text, however, that could be construed as though Ibsen intentionally wrote Dr. Stockmann’s character going too far (Stockmann says the antagonistic majority ought to be “razed to the ground” and “exterminated like vermin” for disapproving of him and rejecting of the truth). Perhaps Ibsen did so to exhibit his own repentant self-awareness, to suggest that in his reaction to the critics of Ghosts he too went too far. Late in the
Page 9
play, Dr. Stockmann devolves to exude nauseating grandiosity, likening himself to a savior figure, or a prophet with a “great revelation” to deliver unto the people. The people react strongly, labeling Stockmann blasphemous (verbatim commentary from Ghosts reviews); perhaps Ibsen was suggesting that the people were right in saying so. Regardless of Ibsen’s personal agenda for this play, it is a fascinating read for an audience 130 years after An Enemy of the People debuted (1882) who will realize that frustration with corrupted leadership, choke-chain tethering (Ibsen calls “moderation”) of the individual autonomy to the public interest, and danger for those holding views contrary to the majority are ageless issues— in fact, they seem to be seizing front and center stage as we take our seats in the public theater for another election season.

Fillmore County Sports A heated affair
By Paul Trende
sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com
It was hot outside during the day. It was sultry in the gym at night. It was only fitting the Chatfield/Rushford-Peterson volleyball match was a heated affair. In the 3-Rivers conference
opener, everyone got lathered up (spectators included). Amy Todd’s 7 kills and a trio of R-P runs (5-0, 3-0, 4-0), the last to end the set, enabled the Trojans to grab the first game 25-21. Chatfield rebounded, emphatically, winning set two 25-8. The Trojans returned to set #1’s form, keyed by Todd again (7 kills).
R-P took a 2-1 advantage with a 25-16 tally. Chatfield rebounded, doing a retread of set #2. They began with 7-1 and 16-10 leads, only for R-P to tie the contest at 18. With the score 19-18 Chatfield, the Gophers were propelled by Kirsten Keefe. The sophomore got three straight kills/Gopher
points, extending the lead to 22-19. The effort staved off the R-P comeback and, with a 25-20 victory, forced a deciding set. There, the good luck charm for each team, the south end of the court, seemed lucky again. R-P bolted ahead 5-1, but the Goph’s would pull even at 10. The set would see ties from there to 15. Chatfield staved off two R-P set/ game points (14-13, 15-14). The Gophers ended with the final three points, the last a kill by senior Bailey Hilgren to pull off the lucky-end-of-the-court nixing comeback victory, 17-15. Todd was a one-woman attack machine with 30 kills (versus
only two errors). She also had six ace blocks and 11 digs. Her setter, Emily Wade had 39 assists. But it was Chatfield’s depth/ balance, an emerging trend this year, which catapulted the Gophers to a 3-0 record. Eleven players notched kills. Keefe and MaKenzie Miller had 8, Hilgren, Brook Irish, and Maddy Kammer 7. Kileigh Dudek led the Gophers with 33 assists and was 23-23 serving with 3 aces. Liberos Alex Duxbury (36 digs) and Kendra Crawford (18 digs) led their clubs defensively. Burros/Anderson Hold Off

‘Canes In the early going of the 9-man non-conference matchup between SEC foes Lanesboro and Houston, it looked as if the home Burros were going to run away with it. They marched down the field on their first drive and scored (a 3-yard Niko Anderson jaunt). Early in the 2nd quarter, it was Anderson again, from 69-yards away. The run (with 2-point conversion) gave Lanesboro a 16-0 lead. But Houston said, “hold on.” On their very next offensive play, Jake Englund broke off a 62-yard TD run. With 2-point conversion, it was 16-8. It was “game on.” After relinquishing 150 yards to Anderson alone in the first half, Houston held the Burros entire team in the red in the 3rd quarter. Offensively, the Canes had a trio of red zone opportunities. Times one (fumble) and two (downs) came up empty, but after a Burro fumble at their own 9-yardline, the third time didn’t. Peter Jergensen’s 3-yard plow pulled his Houston to within two at 16-14 early in the fourth. The 2-point play was stopped though. Burro sophomore safety (back-up-turnedstarting QB, per a Garret Boggs injury) Will Semmen corralled Jergensen short of the goal-line. The stop proved critical. Houston got one more opportunity in Burro territory, but they were turned away on downs. Anderson, who opened the scoring,

capped it. His sack/safety of Houston QB Christian Sires cinched it. The Burros got victory #1 in game #1, 18-14. Shifty Niko carried the ball 33 times for 205 yards, 2 TD’s, a 2-point conversion, and the safety, or 16 of Lanes’ 18 points. The Burros had 4 turnovers (to Houston’s one) and didn’t complete a pass (the ‘Canes completed two). Mabel Extravaganza Has Familiar Ending The Mabel-Canton Labor Day Volleyball Classic is officially five years old. Year five, like years one, two, three, and four before it, offered two harmonies; a bevy of early season, skill honing volleyball action, in rapid-fire fashion, and a familiar title game result. Squads from Waukon, Brainerd, Houston, Winona-Cotter, Spring Grove, and Rushford-Peterson all joined the host Cougars. The day began, at least in the main high school gym in Mabel, with two familiar county foes, R-P and M-C hooking up. The Cougars came out on top in the two set affair (per the pool-play tourney format) 25-10 and 25-17. From that point on, it was a long road for the two teams to play each other again. For the Trojans, they had to recover from the loss. They narrowly topped Brainerd (25-20, 21-25), getting the “W” via scoring more points in defeat. R-P then downed Winona-Cotter (25-21, 25-12), Houston (25-12, 26-24), and Waukon (29-27, 25-19), before splitting a match with Spring Grove (2325, 25-14) but getting the “W” via the same criterion as earlier.

Monday, September 10, 2012 It left them with a set win-loss record of 8-4, a match winloss record of 5-1. Meanwhile, the host Cougars rolled through Cotter (25-15, 25-15), Brainerd (25-15, 25-12), Waukon (25-11, 25-19), Spring Grove (25-17, 25-12), and Houston (25-14, 25-23), ending with unblemished set (12-0) and match (6-0) records. It meant that the same two county schools that opened the day playing each other at 8:30 ended it playing around 4:30. The result was the same as at 9:00 and in the four previous years’ title games. Mabel-Canton, with more angles to attack from and a team that looks awfully good less than a week into the regular season (they aren’t ranked #8 in Class A for nothing), dispatched with R-P 25-15 and 25-16 (best of three format). The usual suspects, Belle Sand (43 kills, 58 digs), Lydia Geving (35 kills, 33 digs, 11 aces), Carly McCabe (120 assists, 29 kills, 8 aces), and Christine Lee (48 digs) led the champs.

Carly McCabe Junior, Mabel-Canton
athlete of the week
Share your thoughts at www.fillmorecountyjournal.com
This week’s athlete is Mabel-Canton junior setter Carly McCabe. The Cougar volleyball team got a conference win versus LeRoy-Ostrander, and then dominated their Labor Day tournament. They’ve won their first 17 sets of the season for an 8-0 record. McCabe orchestrated the offensive attack. Her fingerprints were all over a plethora of the Cougar points scored. From softly setting the volleyball where her teammates could put it down (151 assists), or uncannily placing it in the void of defenses herself (34 kills), plus her defensive efforts, the 5’4” junior’s play was at times, captivating. She beats out R-P’s senior hitter Amy Todd (30 kills versus Chatfield, equally captivating attacking) and Lanesboro junior tailback Niko Anderson (who was the Burros scoring, their Mr. Everything, versus Houston) for the A.O.T.W. distinction.

My Grampa, Ernie Schwartz, scoffed at the idea of brunch, claiming it was a trick used by women to trick their menfolk out of a meal. Women do seem to love brunch. Probably because it is so relaxing especially when it can be made the night before in a 9x13 aluminum cake pan. I collect recipes for brunch including, egg bakes, quiches,omlettes, muffins, quick breads and pancakes and waffles.
The problem with pancakes and waffles is that they have to beflour made individually. I never get to eat with family and friends because I am always tending the pancake griddle or waffle iron. When I try to make them ahead and keep them in the oven, they get soggy. That’s why this recipe is so wonderful.
Gramma’s Oven Style Pancake
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease or spray a 9x13 aluminum cake pan. Mix together eggs and flour. Add milk, butter and salt and pour into pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching so that top does not burn. Cool slighty, cut and serve with syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream. 6 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup milk 1tsp. vanilla or almond flavoring 1tbs. sugar 3 tbs. melted butter pinch of salt This wonderful with Canadian or regular bacon or ham. I love a mixture of sweet and salty.

What to look for in an elder care facility As men and women enter their golden years, many decide they can no longer maintain their homes and choose to downgrade to something smaller, be it an apartment or a condominium. For millions of others, health plays a significant role when deciding where to move when it’s time to sell their homes. According to the AARP, slightly more than five percent of people 65 years and older reside in nursing homes, congregate care, assisted living, and board-and-care homes. Statistics Canada notes that by 2004-05, the most recent year for which statistics are available, one in 30 Canadians over
the age of 65 were living in homes for the aged. Though no one plans to live in a nursing home, seniors and their families should at least know what to look for just in case. Determine Individual Needs Men and women researching potential living facilities might find it difficult to determine their specific needs. Unforeseen health conditions, for instance, might dictate which option is the best fit. Men and women who have a medical condition that requires routine monitoring will almost certainly want a skilled nursing facility. But those without medical conditions who need help with simpler tasks of everyday life
because the journey matters
Heritage Grove of Harmony
The Way Senior Living Should Be!
are likely to have those needs met by an intermediate facility. Some facilities provide both types of care, which can make transitioning from one to another much easier if or when that need arises. Facilities typically have intake planners on staff who evaluate each individual and determine which level of care is the best fit. Research Policies and Procedures Each facility should be ready and willing to share and discuss its policies and procedures with regards to residents. What is the procedure when a resident has a medical emergency? What if a resident finds a living situation unpleasant? What is the facility’s philosophy regarding staff and resident interaction? What are the facility’s hiring practices, including certification requirements, for its personnel? What is the ratio of staff to residents? Each facility should be able to answer these questions promptly and adequately. Those who can’t should be checked off the list of residences to consider. Facility Ratings According to the AARP, recent research has shown that nonprofit nursing homes offer higher-quality care, better staff-resident ratios, and have fewer health violations than facilities managed by for-profit companies. Men and women researching facilities can visit Caring.com, an online resource for men and women caring for aging relatives. The Web site enables adults to compare nursing homes in their areas, including if a home is for profit or nonprofit, and the home’s capacity. U.S. residents can even learn each facility’s Medicare ratings, which are determined by examining the safety of the facility and its overall
quality of care and a host of other factors. Get a Firsthand Account of the Facility Before choosing a facility for themselves or an elderly relative, individuals should spend some time at the facilities they’re considering to get a firsthand account of what life at that facility is like. Observe the staff interactions with residents, including if they address residents with respect and patience. How do the current residents look? Are they unkempt and left to their own devices, or do they appear well groomed and are they encouraged to interact
with other residents? Does the facility seem warm and welcoming, or is it antiseptic? The move to an elderly care facility is often difficult and sometimes depressing, so each of the above conditions can carry significant weight when choosing a facility. Finding a nursing home or a similar facility for yourself or an aging relative is not necessarily easy. Men and women facing such a difficult decision should begin the process as early as possible to ensure they find the facility that is the best fit.

Out of the Darkness WalkAmerican Foundation for Suicide Prevention Rochester, MN – In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 15 minutes, claiming more than 36,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute, with close to one million people attempting suicide annually. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. among adults 18-65, the second leading cause of death among teens and young adults, and individuals ages 65 and older account for 16 percent of all suicide deaths. This is a public health issue that does not discriminate by age, gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. Suicide takes an enormous toll on family, friends, co-workers, and the entire community. AFSP provides opportunities for survivors of suicide loss to get involved through a wide variety

was wondering if there should be some reimbursement from Rural Fire Dept for the insurance on their vehicles? This will be discussed further in September when the Mayor returns Cement barriers for donated Lund property—$3,600 for 12; Rhonda contacted Red Man Construction $3,412.24 for 29 Bollards—Rhonda will get some cost ideas on planters; planters are quite expensive. Rhonda will contact the Spring Valley Greenhouse and get some cost idea’s for hedges. NEW BUSINESS Planning Commission meeting/hearing review. Zoning Ordinance, Comp Plan, and Zoning Map, Approval?— Motion by Kunert, and seconded by Nesler and unanimously carried to adopt the Zoning Ordinance, Comp Plan, and Zoning Map and make it effective September 1. Council Member Thompson was wondering about the city keeping the cop car (Crown Vic) and taking off the decals and city employees use it for trainings and errands so won’t need to pay mileage, just gas. After much discussion, it was decided not to move ahead with this and for Tom Mosher (Police Chief ) to move ahead with posting and getting sealed bids. Should we get the soda machine in place at 306 Main Street since the council was in agreement in March? There is an M & A vending which has machines in Spring Valley and LeRoy, their machines hold the 24 oz bottles of soda, have Coke and Pepsi products, sell for $1.25 and we get 15 percent of the profit (which is the same as Pepsi machines). Council
was in agreement since it was approved in March, 2012. Election Judge—Rhonda is not able to be considered an election judge so either we find one more person to fill that position or stay with three and check with Bloomfield about taking care of the voting machines. Rhonda does still need to be present to oversee and answer questions. Rhonda did contact Bloomfied and Norma said that would be OK. They will take care of setting up the machines (which is the duty of the 4th judge). I will just need to find one more Election Judge and get them trained by the November 6th election. The group putting together Uff Da Days were wondering about the money donated and raised to be kept by the city and someone from their planning committee. Then that money would always be for Uff Da Days and not get lost. Rhonda contacted Ben and he said this would be fine. Motion by Start, and seconded by Nesler and unanimously carried to keep the checkbook at City Hall for Uff Da Days. Trinity is getting new chairs. It was questioned if we would like some folding chairs for the new office, depending on the price. This will be discussed later, once a price has been decided on. It was questioned wondering if the city would be interested in doing a Community Garden. There is land out by the sewer plant that isn’t really used for anything. Rhonda has gotten information on Community Gardens from a couple other cities. If this is something we would be interested in, maybe the planning commission could
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
work on it with the city. Since summer is almost over, we can look at this closer next year. OTHER Candidate filing period for November 6, 2012, General Election is July 31 through August 14 at City Hall. Office hours are from 7 a.m. to noon, Monday through Thursday. On August 14, I will be at the Community Center for the Primary election but I need to have any filings turned in by 5 p.m. The primary election (August 14) and General election (November 6). Council member Nesler commented that it was posted late. Just for your information: 2013 LGA isn’t being reduced at this time for Ostrander Orkin has sent a thank you to the City of Ostrander Ace Communications Group has sent a notice effective August 23rd of added HD channels being added to their HD line-up at no extra cost. And SD channel 85 to their expanded video package at no extra cost, too. There is a letter from Kelly
Page 19
Wagner, City Attorney, regarding the squad car viewing on Tuesday, July 31. Some were worried this would be in violation of the open meeting law. There is also a letter from Kelly Wagner, regarding candidates for election (conflict of interest). Rhonda received notice that $261 was credited to our insurance premium for removing the Fire Truck. Now we just need to get the notice for the new squad car. LeRoy Blood Drive—Wednesday, August 15 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. @ the Community Center in LeRoy.

On a recent stroll down memory lane, Norrin Storelee and Dave Campbell recalled the early days of the Lanesboro Gun Club. Norrin recalls one Halloween when some folks were out at the gun club goofing around and some outhouses got knocked over. Not to be outwitted they bought some toilets from the High Grove schoolhouse that had cement bottoms. The toilets cost $5 each. Originally started under the Izaak Walton League the gun club was eventually incorporated on July 15, 1949, and a clubhouse built on six acres just past the state fish hatchery. Membership drives and fundraising have always been a part of the club. Back in the 1970s they had oyster stew dinners, which were quite popular, until somebody ate 14 bowls. They had a snowmobile race one year and horse races at the Preston Fairgrounds. Norrin recalls Bill Broadwater had an old plug in one race and he rode one of Charlie Betts’ horses. He wasn’t the best at riding, so “I just hung on,” he says with his eyebrows raised in remembering. They had coon trials, where even people from Arkansas would bring their dogs and they would bet on how the dogs did. In the wintertime for a fundraiser they put an old rusted car on the bass pond in town and sold tickets on when it would fall through the ice. The Federal Arms company would come out and have trick shooters show off their guns. Dave recalls that they would “splatter cabbages” and this would bring people out. The gun club was quiet for a while and then a league was formed in the 1970s with about 20 teams. Lanesboro has four teams and holds the #1 team recore title for 10 years in a row; a record that has yet to be beaten. Local member Dewey Hungerholt holds the unofficial individual record of missing 15 in a row. One of the local rivals would come with the best guns, gear and goggles, determined to beat the Lanesboro “farm folk.” Dave hesitates and laughs, “They’d come and we’d whip’em with our beat-up guns!” Norrin recalls they would have “sneak shoots” where the shooter would have his gun down by his side and start walking, not knowing where the clay pigeon would come from and this was a great way to practice for when out in the field. The gun club is all about gun safety and learning how to handle a gun. The club holds Firearms Certification classes and local sheriffs practice at the club. A lot of the club members are involved in the community, like the fire department and ambulance. Club members are also involved in conservation of natural resources, including Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and the Minnesota Deer Hunting Association. The Root River Valley chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is the fourth oldest in the state. As the laughter subsides and the trip down memory lane comes to an end, Norrin sums up his years as a gun club member as being all about “simple living.” Dave Nelson, of Lanesboro, was a long time member of the gun club and an outdoor enthusiast. The Fun Shoot will be held in his memory on Saturday, September 15, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Complimentary hot dogs and sodas will be available.

Forest Pest First detector workshop in Red Wing Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties Minnesota is looking for volunteers to join the hundreds of citizens who already have stepped up to help keep an eye out for new infestations of emerald ash borer and other destructive invasive pests. These volunteer “first detectors” form part of the state’s early warning system for invasive tree pests, making it more likely that infestations will be found Jerrold Tesmer in early stages when they are easier to control. With the threat posed to southeastern Minnesota by invasive species such as emerald ash borer, Oriental bittersweet and thousand cankers disease of walnut, the sponsoring agencies are hoping for a large turnout at the workshop. Registration is now open for a Forest Pest First Detector workshop to be held on Tuesday, September 18 from 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. This workshop will be conducted by experts with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), University of Minnesota Extension and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The session will provide in-depth information on identification of invasive tree pests. After completing the training, participants are qualified to serve
as volunteers in the state’s First Detector Program. The role of these first detectors is to serve as public contacts for information about these pests and to help investigate reports of potential infestations. “One key to slowing the spread of invasive pests is to find new infestations quickly,” U of M Extension Forester Angie Gupta said. “Many of the new infestations in Minnesota have been discovered by people like first detectors — informed citizens who know what to look for and who to call when they find something. The more help we have, the better our chances to contain infestations.” Participants who complete the one-day sessions will become part of an award winning program. The Minnesota Forest Pest First Detector Program has been recognized by the National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) for its outstanding training of volunteers. The NPDN is an internationally respected consortium of plant diagnostic laboratories from across the United States. This Forest Pest First Detector training is scheduled for: •September 18 – Red Wing – 8:00 a.m.to 3:00 p.m. - MN State College Southeast Technical.

By Iris Clark Neumann Rainbow Garden I walked into my backyard and picked a rainbow of cherry tomatoes tonight. Small yellow, orange, red and purplish tiny tomatoes filled my container. The taste of these sweet orbs has no comparison to any purchased commercially. Tomorrow my lunch at work will have a bag of those tomatoes and a sliced cucumber, also from my backyard. Gardening was a pursuit missing from my life for a couple of
decades while I was busy raising four children as a single mom and commuting to work five days a week. Once we lived on a farm where I gardened, then canned or froze tomatoes, green beans and pickles for the whole year. When we moved into town, gardening was left behind. Gradually, however I started gardening in pots on my deck… a cherry tomato, a pepper plant and lots of herbs. We created tiny gardens edged with patio

blacks in the backyard where I could have short rows of beans or staked tomatoes. Enter my son who took over gardening at his grandparents’ farm a decade ago—as Logan has expanded his gardening, my cooking has changed. He tried growing turnips, kohlrabi, wax beans, roma tomatoes, red chard, leeks, purple onions, garlic, cabbage, purple potatoes, dark green broccoli, orange beets and yellow crook-necked squash. I’d never eaten kohlrabi, turnips or rutabagas before, but I learned to eat them cooked in soups and vegetable stir-fries. Cooking became an adventure each evening as I tried preparing concoctions with whatever Logan was growing. My standard was a stir-fry creation I’d included in a booklet written for a class on herb gardening I had taught years ago. Dark green zucchini slices were combined with yellow squash, onion, and shreds of cabbage cooked in olive oil and seasoned with fresh chopped basil, sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Then I discovered chard. The stems could be sliced up like celery and added early in the stir-fry process. The final step was chopping the dark green chard leaves and adding it to the cooking mixture. A sprinkle of feta cheese or shredded Parmesan were great finishing touches, even a scattering of pine nuts over the top, plus a tiny bit of hot pepper flakes. Three years ago the City of Eyota received a grant from the Olmsted County SHIP program
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
(Statewide Health Improvement Program) to start a community garden in town. Initially 12 plots were created the first year, with it expanding into 24 plots the second year. Logan was one of the first to take one of those plots. The initial year the efforts of 12 citizens were heroic and some were reasonably successful. However, the second year when a couple of truckloads of compost from the Olmsted County recycling site were added along with topsoil, the quantity of vegetables raised increased exponentially. It’s not so easy to learn how to garden, especially if you grew up not knowing what a weed looks like. Sometimes I would walk by and notice a fabulous button weed or ragweed growing as if it belonged in the community garden. Even after planting a garden with seeds and starter plants is successful, the needs for watering and weeding into the times when the heat becomes uncomfortable can make the new gardener waver. Oddly, sometimes after mastering planting and caring for their plants, new gardeners neglect to pick their crops when they are ready. No, gardening is not easy, but once it’s mastered, the wonder of growing your own watermelon or cantaloupe and picking your own cucumbers instead of buying them at a store becomes a motivating force. Not only is gardening good for adults, it a great way to teach children and expose them to new foods that are downright
good for them. What, a purple pepper, they might wonder? Yes, and it can be eaten fresh with ranch or dill dip or chopped up as a pizza topping. The most wonderful pizzas can be created with garden produce. My favorite is using a prepared crust—either dough in a bag or a precooked crust, then adding my own home-canned tomato sauce or using a homemade pesto paste as the base. Next, pile on the chopped vegetables starting with chopped spinach, chard or other cooking greens. Then add thinly sliced tomatoes, summer squash, and peppers. Sliced portabella or white mushrooms and perhaps some meat or shrimp, plus fresh oregano leaves stripped off the stem can round out the pizza. Ah yes, for the adults adding a bit of hot pepper flakes give it a bit of zing, sprinkle on some olive oil and shake a bit of sea salt over it. Of course, top it all with a good pile of mozzarella cheese or a combo of cheeses. If growing your own garden doesn’t work in your life, perhaps visiting a local farmers market will. Let others do all the work of planting, weeding, watering and picking—you just have to stop by with your wallet. Pick out wonderful, unique, fresh vegetables, the likes of which you will be hard pressed to find sold in a store. It almost goes without saying, but eating lots of vegetables is good for you too! However, it is so enjoyable eating them, don’t even think of that.

Celebrate Local Farmers’ Markets with Fillmore County Public Health Minnesota fall brings with it wonderful foods such as root vegetables, squash, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, popcorn, grapes, and apples, which can all be found at local farmers’ markets. The six farmers’ markets of Fillmore County provide a great opportunity for residents and visitors to purchase affordable, healthy foods while supporting local growers and producers. The goal of local farmers’ markets aligns with USDA MyPlate, which encourages Americans to eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Fillmore County Public Health (FCPH) supports both 2x2 & 2x4 ads to local farmers’ markets and the use of MyPlate as a means of
eating healthier. During September, FCPH will be available at various markets to provide education on how to add more
fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet. Food preparation tips, portion management, and recipes will be
made available to all patrons. Free dinner plates featuring how to eat based upon USDA MyPlate will be given away
to adults and children while supplies last. These efforts are being supported through the UCare Fund of MN. Please join FCPH in celebrating the fall bounty of our local markets by shopping at one of the following locations and/or coming to a MyPlate education event during one of the dates and times listed below. For more information about MyPlate, please contact Brenda Pohlman of FCPH at 507-7652636.
