Dillon Dombrovski of Yaggy Colby and Associates was at the Lanesboro City Council meeting on September 10 to discuss a few different issues. There was discussion about the storm sewer line that goes under the Riverside on the Root restaurant. At a previous meeting the council had decided to look into the cost of lining the pipes versus the cost of rerouting the lines to go a different way and bypass the restaurant. Dombrovski said the quote for lining the pipes was $43,000. The cost of rerouting the line is $51,000. That cost does not include the price of surveying, which could be an additional $2,500-$3,000. Dombrovski added that the state is not willing to help out with the cost, as there is little drainage from the state highway going into those lines. Council member Joe
O’Connor was taking the place of Mayor Steve Rahn, who was absent. He noted that he doesn’t normally like to spend an extra $12,000, but it might be a better long-term approach. New sewer lines could last 50-75 years, according to Dombrovski, but lining would not last as long. There was a question about using assessments to help pay for the cost. City Attorney Tom Manion said they could argue that rerouting would benefit the property, as they would be plugging up and closing the storm sewer line under the restaurant. O’Connor said they have already set a precedent for assessing storm sewer. The council approved going ahead with a feasibility study on the project. Dombrovski said this would be a spring project, as they will have to have a public hearing and go through all the necessary steps in the assessment policy. They will also have to get See LANESBORO Page 14

CONGRATULATIONS FILLMORE CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! Fillmore Central Elementary is a REWARD School! Based on the Minnesota Department of Education Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR), Fillmore Central Elementary has been designated as a REWARD School. The REWARD School designation is given to schools that are in the top 15 percent based on their MMR. The MMR is a measurement of school performance used for holding schools accountable under Minnesota’s approved No Child Left Behind waiver. The MMR considers the proficiency, growth, achievement gap reduction and graduation rates of schools. Points are assigned in each of the four domains based on a school’s percentile rank among schools with the same grade range, and the total MMR is the percentage of possible points that the school earned. Fillmore Central Elementary scored a 90.61% MMR rating. The Focus Rating (FR) is a secondary measurement within the MMR that measures schools specifically on the performance of student subgroups that exhibit a statistical achievement gap in Minnesota. Fillmore Central Elementary scored a 95.24% Focus Rating.

Mrs. Niemeyer's first graders learned all about bees the first week of school. Mike Rolfs, a local beekeeper, taught the kids about the tools used to manage a beehive and their behavior.
Every year 7th grade students are privileged to attend a three day field trip to Eagle Bluff Learning Center. The lessons learned foster a lifelong appreciation of the environment and team building skills. Each student and adult costs $75, a very minimal cost for all meals, room, and education activities. We are trying to make this a cost free event to all and are accepting donations at this time. Please contact Principal Olstad or Mrs. Whitacre, class advisor, if you wish to help sponsor this amazing event, or sponsor a student.
On Sunday, September 9th, the Fillmore Central Boys Basketball team was invited to Windy Willow Vineyard in Preston to pick grapes as a fundraising opportunity. The weather made it perfect to enjoy the grape picking to go along with the conversations and the usual trading of oneliners. The Erickson's graciously offered a fantastic meal for our noon time break. It was a great opportunity to help their business while raising funds for the basketball team. We hope to use the funds to improve our facility for everyone on the team to enjoy. We extend our thanks to all at Windy Willow Vineyard and hope to get the chance to help them again in the future.

Board updated on proposed St. Charles Rail Facility By Karen Reisner Geoff Griffin, G-Cubed in Chatfield and project engineer for Minnesota Proppant LLC, spoke during the citizen input portion of the September 11 county board meeting. He went on to inform the board as to the latest proposals for the rail facility in St. Charles. If the proposed multi-loop rail loading facility is built near St. Charles, there is an additional plan for a six-mile sand slurry pipe. The injection point for the 30-inch underground (below the frost line) pipe would be near Winona County Road 6. The sand would be flushed to the St. Charles facility where it would be washed and the water and waste materials would be flushed back to the mining site through another 21-inch pipe. Griffin suggested there could potentially be a second injection site near Highway 30, another four miles. About every one and one-half miles there will be a pump above ground. The slurry system would save wear and tear on the roads and keep fines from blowing around. Sand would be hauled to the injection sites with off road trucks. Griffin maintained the water would be recycled and a typical residential well would be adequate to provide water. Chemicals, namely polyacrylamide, would be used in the washing process. The chemical would also be used at a clarifier. Griffin insisted
there is no chance of contaminating the ground water. After going through the clarifier, the product left is dry cake which can be spread back on the site for reclamation. The clarifier can run year round under roof in a sealed system. The clarifier will be located at the CR 6 site. The low level of polyacrylamide has a half life and will be gone within two weeks according to Griffin. Griffin stated the Environmental Quality Board determines the governing body to oversee the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). Minnesota Proppant has requested that the government entity to oversee the study be Winona County. Griffin said he is confident that the more arduous Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will not be required. 2013 Budget/Levy County Coordinator Karen Brown reviewed the preliminary budget/levy for 2013. The overall budget for 2013 reflects a 7.6 percent increase over 2012. The preliminary levy for 2013 is 4.79 percent higher than in 2012. That is an increase of $18.79 per capita or a total cost of $411.47 per capita. A total of $320,000 of fund balance will be used. The board unanimously approved the preliminary budget and levy for 2013. The levy can be lowered, but not raised when the final levy and budget is
approved prior to December 15. The preliminary 2013 budget and levy public hearing is set for 6:30 p.m. on December 11, 2012. Other Business In Brief •Commissioner Chuck Amunrud gave a brief update on the proposed Veterans Cemetery. He said the access through MnDot property is being finalized. The boundary work is finished. They are working on two or three conceptual sites, designing the entrance. He concluded everything is moving along. •Human Resources Kristina Kohn noted there are two county engineer finalists. The Personnel Committee is comfortable with offering the job to either candidate. A negotiated offer with a starting salary of $97,200 with a four-year guaranteed appointment had been agreed to by candidate A. Chairman Tom Kaase said he was an experienced engineer and could hit the ground running. The board agreed to work with Ronald Gregg with a tentative start date of November 2 or 9. There will be some overlap of the new and current engineer and duplication of income with John Grindeland retiring at the end of the year. •Five people submitted bids for the county farm lease for 20132014. The high bid submitted by Mitchell Berry was accepted for a total of $19,826 per year. •County Recorder David Kiehne requested a salary of $60,500. or a
$4,300 increase for 2013. Sheriff Daryl Jensen requested a salary of $86,912, or a four percent increase of his base salary. His salary includes payment for his Emergency Management duties. •A replacement half ton GMC pickup for the highway department

will be purchased at the state bid price of $23,021.92 from Nelson Auto Center. •Access permits for a new or wider access were approved for Milo Broadwater, Carimona Township; Craig Kinsky, York Township; Alex Mensink, Carimona Township; Robert Prinsen, York Township; and Joseph Mulhern, Fountain Township.

C ommentary Crony capitalism By Stan Gudmundson Crony capitalism, what is it really? A simple explanation is that crony capitalism is corrupt collusion between government and business that Col. Stan causes things to be more Gudmunson expensive for consumers and taxpayers. It’s been around a long time but has gotten to be extraordinarily pernicious under the Obama administration. Businesses really don’t like competition very much and will often use the powers of government to minimize or eliminate it if they can. But it is just a little more complex than that. There are other reasons as well. though space precludes covering all of them. For example, politicians shake businesses down for their own nefarious demands. Businesses don’t really want to be a part of this but participate to survive. If politicians aren’t seeing “skin in the game” in their campaigns, they’ll manage to find ways to coerce businesses to “get involved.” At one time, two notable companies had little use for politics and politicians. One was Microsoft and the other Walmart. Early on Microsoft had exactly one half-time lobbyist in Washington. A competitor sued them and funny how it was allowed to progress. Now Microsoft has a big presence in Washington as does Walmart. And gee, both now contribute much more to political campaigns. Another kind of crony capitalism is that created by fantasyland ideological agendas that have no place in the marketplace as ideo-
logues try to force the market to behave in a way in which it just won’t. Green energy is a perfect example. Solyndra and its failure is just the tip of the iceberg. There many more “government sponsored” bankrupt and failed green energy companies. They include “Abound Solar, Beacon Power, Enerl, Energy Conversion Devices, Evergreen Solar Inc., Mountain Plaza Inc., Olsen’s and Olsen’s Mills Acquisition Co., Range Fuels, Raser Technologies, Spectra Watt, and Thompson River Power LLC.” Billions down the rat hole for Obama’s crony capitalism. This is criminal. Another crony capitalistic practice is what can only be defined as the “Washington-Wall Street Revolving Door.” Have you noticed how many of the current and previous bunch of Washington officials come from big Wall Street firms? Think Goldman Sachs here. Do you suppose they might be protecting the interests of their more than a little well-off friends and former (and future) employers? Starting with Clinton, taxpayers have bailed out Citigroup six times since the meltdown of the Mexican peso a few years back. And somehow the taxpayers continue to bail out Wall Street financial firms in spite of their bad investments. And it costs us how much? This stinks. We now find that some businesses are too big to fail. Given that the taxpayer is on the hook for government rescuing (colluding with) failing business this too, has to be defined as crony capitalism. Moreover, if it is too big to fail, it is too big. Then there the GSEs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. University of Chicago economist Luigi Zingales says they are “private monopolies which use their political connections to

way to recovery. We have had many people call the Journal office asking for updates about Lisa, not realizing that she doesn’t work at our newspaper. While our newspapers are owned by two different companies, Dave Phillips is headquartered in Spring Valley, and my wife, Amanda, and myself operate our newspaper in Preston,
TIME, a weekthe ago, week beginning 9/16/2012 I heard the news about Lisa Brainard, Editor for the Chatfield News and P r e s t o n Republican- Jason Sethre Leader. When I found out that Lisa Brainard had fallen 24 feet from a bridge along the Root River Trail, I felt sick to my stomach. I could only hope she was on her

make money at the expense of taxpayers.” Unfortunately these two still exist and are conducting business in the same way that got us into the current economic mess. Crony capitalism is wickedly detrimental but GSEs are in a separate category of thieves all by themselves. Get in bed with government and the regulators. That is another category of crony capitalism. One of the problems with regulating industries is that the regulators are often coopted by the industry they are supposed to regulate. One can examine the history of the railroad industry to see how it happens. Today, the big health insurance companies end up pushing Obamacare because if everyone has to buy insurance, they profit big-time. There is also the plain old ordinary everyday kind of corruption epitomized by companies like Archer Daniels Midlands (ADM). “There isn’t one grain of anything in the world that is sold in a free market. Not one! The only place you see a free market is in the speeches of politicians. People who are not in the Midwest do not understand that this is a socialist country” asserted ADM’s Dwayne Andreas. ADM constantly pushes for “rent seeking” as the economists describe it, from government. Through government and politicians ADM has found shady ways to loot the pocket books of taxpayers. ADM has made billions based on what is none other than crony capitalism on products like ethanol and cane-sugar. The Cato Institute estimated that “at least 43 percent of ADM’s annual profits were...heavily subsidized or protected by the American government.” Keep in mind that ADM has been accused five times of price-fixing of everything “from bakery flour
to monosodium glutamate.” The size and scope of the crony capitalism iceberg is reflected by something called the Corruption Perceptions Index scored by an outfit called Transparency International. “The index measures how corrupt government officials are perceived to be.” The U.S. isn’t even close to the top. New Zealand and Denmark are one and two and we rank 24. Writer F.H. Buckley adds that “A similar measure of corruption by the World Justice Project ranks the US tenth out of 12 peer countries in North America and Europe.” Is there any hope that we can get back to all playing by the same rules where government doesn’t play favorites or pick and choose who will win and who won’t? F.H. Buckley doesn’t think so for three reasons. “First, the size of the American government has greatly increased, and with it the opportunities for...corruption As the state gets bigger...it’s easier to hide the plunder in obscure regulations... Second, the crony capitalism of the Obama administration has taken Chicagostyle politics national and raised corruption to an entirely new level...third...is the absence of monitoring or oversight by... media and watchdog groups.” This is the road to serfdom. The mainstream media, who should be exposing the downright criminality of crony capitalism, are instead focused on “same-sex marriage, the war on women, and justice for illegal aliens.” And getting Obama reelected. By the way, crony capitalism is not substantively different from German and Italian corporatism of the 30s. Corporatism was fascist and therefore leftist. You can look it up.
many people see us as one in the same. I consider our newspapers to be two ships passing in the night. I don’t know how many times Lisa and I have been at the same meeting, taking photos and writing stories about the exact same subject. So, to the public, we are one in the same. From a journalism perspective, I think Lisa does a fantastic job, and I hope she gets back up on her feet really soon so she can return to a life of nor-
malcy. Lisa is not only important to her newspaper, but to our community. I look forward to seeing her story of recovery in our local newspaper, along with the rest of her friends and family, near and far. With that said, we will be keeping Lisa in our thoughts and prayers, hoping for a speedy recovery.

Letter about Fillmore Family Services To the Editor, When I moved to Minnesota in 2007 from Pennsylvania I was in the dark about Minnesota politics. As an independent, I usually vote fore the incumbent in local elections as long as there is no notoriety or scandal involved. I did bring some interest in vital issues however, especially those dealing with spousal and child abuse, since they have effected me personally. I was shocked to hear Fillmore Family Services, a non-political agency dedicated to serving the victims of these crimes was closing its doors after September! They have a modest budget of $200,000, 80 percent of which came from the Office Of Justice programs. I am also shocked Greg Davids, our representative didn’t fight to keep these vital programs and voted to de-fund. Greg Davids did see fit to vote for a 500 million dollar boondoggle to pay for the Viking colossus, far from Filmore County. That is why I will be supporting Ken Tschumper this November, someone who cares about innocent victims of domestic violence. Jerry Grehl Harmony, MN

C ommentary Letter about the election To the Editor, What we must do as voters is evaluate the candidates for their leadership qualities and how well they reflect our personal values and our own vision for the country. Our own values aren’t so hard, but how do we judge someone on leadership qualities? SKILLED LEADERS: 1] “Have acquired a high level of knowledge in their chosen field through both education and experience. They know how to achieve positive results because
they have worked at a number of levels in that field.” President Obama served as a community organizer and a short-term Senator. Romney has a long and successful career in both business and politics. 2] “ Make timely decisions on important policy matters without undue delay.” President Obama waited weeks to decide on a course of action regarding troop levels in Afghanistan while our soldiers there were in peril of their lives. Romney has experience in evaluating problems
and making decisions in a timely manner, as any good leader must. 3] “Surround themselves with experienced, capable subordinates who are skilled and practical in their field of endeavor.” President Obama selected his cabinet from a group of people with whom he was familiar. All of us would do that. His choices were mostly former government employees with less than 10 percent having been previously employed in the private sector. The results have been disastrous for jobs and businesses.
Romney has strong ties to business and it is reasonable to expect that experienced business people would be chosen for those cabinet posts affecting business and jobs in America. 4] “Quickly admit a mistake and act to mitigate any unfavorable consequences” President Obama has been very consistent in failing to acknowledge a mistake, whether it was his opposition to the very effective troop surge in Iraq or the tragic involvement of his administration in the failed “FAST AND FURI-
OUS” gun smuggling operation.. 5] “Take responsibility and refuse to make excuses.” A good leader never wastes time blaming others or finger pointing.

following to be an honorable thing, rather it is worse than a dangerous thing. America was not built by followers. Freedom is not defended by followers. It is only brave individuals who do great things. And only groups of brave individuals who can do even greater things, as America has shown. Followers belong underneath a king or dictator, since they are satisfied with being told what to do. I rather cherish the words and actions of those like Jesus and our Founders. I subscribe only to great thinkers and brave men like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said as I’ve quoted before, “the hottest place in hell is reserved for those who remain neutral during times of great moral conflict.” Anyone who cannot see our destruction of this Great Nation and Freedom, along with the enslavement of future generations as a “great moral conflict” ought to consider what one would be then? The first time I ever wrote into the paper was because the delusions of a certain commentator so irritatingly ground against my grain that I could not take it any longer. A while back he accused me of “being in lockstep with….something.” I don’t know because I didn’t read the article, I was only told about it. What I can tell you is that I am many things, some bad, but one thing I am not, is “in lockstep” with anything. Anyone who knows me can tell you that. But since we’re in the business of making blind assumptions now, I’m going to guess that he has never had anything to do with running a business, taking risks, or generating wealth. The same goes for most other liberals’ thinking. For no one who knows how difficult it is and how much work it takes would be so blind as to believe that the wealth generators in this country are the enemy and problem of this country. If we took all the money from all the “wealthiest” Americans, it would only pay for a few months of our federal government’s spending and only that one time! Wise solution! What would the whiners talking about “paying your fair share” suggest we do then, a few months later? That’s even forgetting the pru-
dent argument of people like Mr. Ruen who speak of those who somehow believe “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine?” And what’s more, most business owners are not rich! I’m so sick of media and liberal government demonizing the only wealth generators we have. My parents own a small business. They each get paid less than any other employee they have and work more hours than anyone I know. Not to mention, they face the fears of no guaranteed paycheck or job at all! They pay far, far more in taxes than what they have ever made in a year. They are burdened by constantly changing/increasing regulations and expenses that only cost them and you, the consumer, more in the end. But dirty, greedy people like them, trying to squeeze out an honest living, are this country’s problem!? I simply ask, what would this country do without them and those like them!? These people lead from the front and it seems all liberals want to do is stab them in the back and rob them. The problem with liberal thinking is that you can’t even carry out its train of thought honestly. Last week a commentary said something like Mr. Romney has never taken a stand on anything and has changed his mind on every position. Which is it? If he’s never taken a position on anything how could he change it? I personally don’t care for Romney, but is there no intellectual integrity anymore? Another wanted to talk about “facts,” and how the Democrats are the fiscally responsible ones. Here’s a basic one for you, Mr. Obama said George W. Bush was irresponsible and unpatriotic for adding some 4+ trillion dollars to our debt over just 8 years. Bravo, I agree. He then promised to cut the deficit in half but has rather added over five trillion dollars to our debt in just four years. They are both grossly irresponsible and unpatriotic and for many additional reasons. But find those who will openly declare it. Most people have sold themselves to one of the two illegitimate parties and blind themselves to any truth that doesn’t fit in their tiny box. Here’s another fact to ponder on the abortion beliefs
expressed. You have no rights if you’re not first allowed to live! What difference would any other right or entitlement make if you’re not alive to experience it? Your head might be big enough sir, but your thinking cap needs to get a lot bigger. Or the other commentary going off about gun rights crap, again. Do you not understand? Our Second Amendment rights were ensured so forwardly and clearly to guarantee us the right to defend ourselves against any foreign or domestic threat. One of the first and foremost threats as known by our Founders was that of government itself. Tyranny has been one the most common threats to all societies throughout human history, our Founders were not so foolish as to deny it, and today we are reminded why! All of these liberals and most republicans are so ignorant and small-minded because when they see the problems we face they put their blinders on and try to think of ways to blame the “other party.” If they only sought the Truth instead, their arguments might start to make sense and the “parties” would be put in their proper place, extinction. Does no one understand that
nothing we talk about or think about will matter soon enough if we don’t reverse our course and move back toward the Freedom, hence limited government, that permitted our existence and prosperity in the first place!? Don’t fall for it when these deceitful blame mongers accuse Capitalism for our woes, for it is our very departure from it in the latter Clinton years and all of Bush’s years that even permitted someone so socialist as Obama to achieve such destruction as we’ve seen. Don’t waste time asking yourselves if you’re better off than you were four years ago. Look at our path and its downward trajectory, across party lines, since the latter nineties. Look at our debt, our aging demographics and declining work force, lack of work ethic in exchange for a college “education,” increasing entitlements, spineless foreign policy, and what we are taking for ourselves from future generations. It seems the only question left to ask yourself is, “will we make it another four years?” Do our actions deserve another four years?
Road? Facts? By Andrew Kingsley I’m ashamed to admit that when I asked to be taken off the commentary list because my family was moving, I also stopped reading the Andrew paper. My Kingsley wife has still read every one and keeps me updated, but I have inexcusably been too “busy” to take the time. Her summary from this last week’s paper has convinced me that the sideline is for those who wish lazy comfort more than their Freedom. The sideline is from where we decided to allow this country to get to this point. We must engage. Starting back a few weeks, I would like to address an article that beheld the “virtue of following,” bestowed by one’s father. I know I thank the Great Spirit every day of my life that my father is not a follower. I thank Him for giving me a father that has instilled a fire burning in my belly, that longs for Liberty and despises tyranny. I thank Him for giving me a father that is never afraid to stand up for what he believes in, regardless of its popularity or consequences. For the road to every evil event in human history was paved by those willing to sheepishly “follow.” People like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao counted on people to be followers, for nowhere in the world would the majority of a society individually choose such evils. I am sorry, but I do not find New crop of apples!

Ehredt is an endurance athlete. He said, “It came to me that this is what I am supposed to do to say thank you.” Ehredt recounts an especially emotional moment when an Alabama woman drove over 24 hours to witness her son’s flag being set on a mile post. The journey is about giving back and remembering. He runs for those who can’t. Ehredt runs with compression sleeves on his lower legs and sleeps with compression sleeves from his ankles up his thighs. The compression sleeves and a little icing before bedtime are preventative therapy. He has surgical scars on his legs that are the result of corrective work at an early age. His ankles are fused, which doesn’t allow for lateral movement. As a child he had braces on his legs and special shoes throughout high school.
Rushford sets preliminary levy
The department will already see $30,000 in savings this year, due to lower paid officers filling both the full-time and part-time positions. Frick’s addition to the full-time rotation will keep Rushford at 22 hours of coverage, although Eide hopes to up that to 24-hour coverage at some point. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, September 24, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
EHREDT
By Kirsten Zoellner Having no increase last year, the city council has preliminarily set the 2013 budget levy at 2.9 percent. The increase would garner $762,000 in funding for the city, which City Administrator Steve Sarvi indicated would assist in building back fund balances responsibly. The levy amount is only a starting point for fall budget talks. The final levy can be certified at a lower amount, but once the city designates a maximum, it cannot be raised. In other news, Rushford’s new police chief, former Sergeant Adam Eide, has hit the ground running in his new position. A plan for the department, including new initiatives, was presented and met with appreciation from the council. Programs targeting safety, school to work for those students interested in law enforcement, programs relating to drug and alcohol awareness for the school district, the presentation of a large-scale mock accident, and even summer fun activities for geared for local businesses were on the short list of initiatives. The implementation of a K-9 unit in Rushford, however, was of high interest. Eide has already been working with Deputy Jeff Ellis of Mower County in seeking a police dog for Rushford. Ellis has great experience with training dogs for law enforcement and has consistently trained the number one police dog in the country for the last five years. The addition of a dog would be of no initial cost to the city with Eide assuming ownership responsibilities, including standard care and the initial purchase of all equipment, other than a protective vehicle insert and securing insurance through the League of Min-

nesota Cities. The cost of the dog itself is also covered, as Eide has currently been training a dog at his home for Ellis. Instead of wages, Eide will be compensated for his work with a pup to train for Rushford. The dog would be able to assist with a various degree of needs including drug detection, and would be certified for street work one year from pick up. “It’s my goal to have the number one police dog in the country and I think it’s doable,” said Eide. The police department has also moved forward with the hiring of a third full-time officer to fill the vacancy left with former chief Stensgard’s retirement. Officer Chris Frick, who served the city part-time, has been hired in a 3-2 vote, with Councilors Roger Colbenson and Robert Dahl opposed due to concerns over the need for three full-time officers and a tentative agreement with the Village. “I think we need our third fulltime person back on,” stressed Eide. “It’s a lot to do for two people. We’re looking for your help to continue to serve the people.” “Chris has a unique skill set,” added Sarvi. “He’s worked with out department and others. He did an excellent job setting up the bike clinic. I support his hiring if the council so desires.” It is unclear at this time if the Village will proceed with an agreement for the services of the Rushford police department, but neither Sarvi, nor Mayor Hallum thought such an agreement would have much weight with the city’s decision to hire a third full-time officer. Sarvi indicated the amount of the agreement would certainly be an aid to the city, but that it would not cover the cost of the position and that Rushford needs the position, whether the Village proceeds with an agreement or not. “Looking at budgetary numbers, there’s no reason not to do this,” agreed Hallum.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week. Ehredt says taking a day off gets his body out of whack, so he doesn’t intend to take even one day off on his journey. He has about 18 hours to recover each afternoon and night before the next marathon. About 200 calories are burned per hour. Ehredt drinks a quart of chocolate milk each day and consumes a liquid nutrition product. On his 4,500 mile journey in 2010 he lost only two pounds. August was chosen as it was starting to cool off up north and the cooler weather could follow him south. Ehredt promotes a fitness chal-
lenge while he is on this journey called 26/81. He encourages people to do 26 minutes per day of some form of outside physical exercise for each of the 81 days. From his blog On his blog he recounts his day and the people he has met and those who have joined him on his run for a time. There are “long quiet stretches of highway and dead skunks... gas stations and chocolate milk... miles come and go... I just run.” He writes that he has the freedom to do exactly as he wants for those who can’t, adding it is a sacrifice that cannot be forgotten.

BABY BUMP

ing their homes, enjoying their higher paying jobs, driving nicer and newer cars, and apparently spending quality time with each other. I’m sure some unassuming socio-economics professor somewhere has the answer. We may never know. But, what we do know is that the number of births did drop down by nearly 200,000 births in successive years. So, as the population increases, shouldn’t our number of births per year be keeping pace as a matter of percentages? Actually, in the United States in 1910, the population was 92,228,496 and there were 2,777,000 births. That’s just a little over a three percent increase in the population. In 2007, when we experienced the baby boomlet milestone, the population had reached 302,200,000. With a total of
4,315,000 births, that amounts to 1.43 percent of the total population. So, in 2007 we were – and still are – reproducing at less than half the pace we were in 1910. Well, it makes sense if you look at the average number of persons per household over the past century. In 1915, there was an average of 4.5 persons per household. Today, we have an average of 2.59 persons per household nationwide. Right here, right now In Fillmore County, we’re downsizing! Based on the 2010 U.S. Census results, Minnesota boasts an average of 2.45 persons per household and that number drops to 2.39 for Fillmore County. Many of our local schools are seeing a boost in their kindergarten enrollment as a result of the 2007 baby boomlet. In interviews with representatives from each school in Fillmore County it was determined that Chatfield leads the
Fillmore County District Court Steven Robert Miller, 26, address unknown, appeared before Judge Robert Benson at the Fillmore County Courthouse on September 10, 2012. He was charged with two counts of Predatory Offender Registration Violation, each with a maximum penalty of five years in jail, $10,000 or both. The charges
stem from Miller allegedly not complying with his registration requirements when law enforcement could not contact him or find where he was living. He paid $1,000 conditional bail. Jeremy James Shoemaker, 28 of Zumbrota, also appeared in court on September 10, 2012. He was charged with three

boom with Mabel-Canton and Fillmore Central not far behind. Ed Harris, Superintendent of Chatfield Public Schools, shared that his school district has added one-and-a-half positions to accommodate the leap from 56 students in the 2011/2012 kindergarten class to 93 students enrolled in the 2012/2013 kindergarten class. That’s a 66 percent increase, in case you are keeping score. Lynette Donald, Secretary and Administrative Assistant for Mabel-Canton Public Schools, reported that the kindergarten class of 2012/2013 had to be split into two sections to accommodate the increase. They went from 11 students in last year’s class to 29 students enrolled in this year’s class. Chris Mensink, Fillmore Central Schools Dean of Students, reported an increase from 44 students enrolled in kindergarten during the 2011/2012 school year to a total of 58 kinder-
gartners during the 2012/2013 school year. Chris shared that the school added a third section to accommodate the increase in enrollment. Meanwhile, the impact of the 2007 boomlets seemed to be less of a factor for Lanesboro, Kingsland and Rushford-Peterson. Jeff Boggs, Superintendent of the Lanesboro School District, reported a steady number of 23 students enrolled in kindergarten this year and the past two consecutive years. There was no increase at this time. Newly hired Principal Chris Priebe, overseeing the Kingsland Elementary School, reported a decrease in kindergartners from the 2011/2012 school year to the 2012/2013 school year, dropping from 58 students to 53 students respectively. And, Chuck Ehler, Superintendent of Rushford-Peterson Public Schools, reported that their kindergarten class of 2012/2013
actually saw a decrease from 58 students during the previous year to 48 students this year. So, what does all of this mean? Well, Fillmore County has seen a little bit of a baby bump from our nation’s 2007 birthing campaign. Collectively, all six school districts in Fillmore County saw an increase of 54 students enrolled in kindergarten during this 2012/2013 school year. And, we may not be realizing the full affects of the baby bump this school year. If a youngster was born between October and December of 2007, their parents may have decided to have them wait to enroll in kindergarten for the 2013/2014 school year. So, we may have somewhat of a staggered affect with this boomlet. Regardless of whether the 2007 boomlet is an enigma, smaller families – half the size of what they were a century ago – seem to continue to be a trend that won’t change any time soon.
counts of Theft- take/use/transfer movable property, each with a maximum penalty of five years in jail, $10,000 or both. The charges stem from an incident in which Shoemaker and his brother allegedly stole a truck from Spring Valley and took it to a salvage yard for money. Shoemaker was released on his own recognizance and given $10,000 unconditional bail. His next court appearance is Octo-
ber 1. On September 11, 2012, Joey Jerome Bigelow, 41 of Rochester, appeared before Judge Benson. He was found guilty of Drugs in the 5th Degree- Possess Schedule 1,2,3,4- not a small amount of marijuana. He was sentenced to 15 months at the St. Cloud Correctional Facility, which was stayed for five years. He was also given 180 days in the Fillmore County jail, with credit for 153
days served, and five years supervised probation. Leroy Eddie Helwig, 44 of Spring Valley, was found guilty of Criminal Sex Conduct in the 3rd Degree on September 11, 2012. He was sentenced to 36 months in the St. Cloud Correctional Facility, which was stayed for 15 years, 365 days in the Fillmore County Jail with credit for 153 days served, and 15 years supervised probation.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County
Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende It’s been awhile. It’s been a long while, since a Chatfield Gopher football team has played Plainview-Elgin-Millville and walked away having slapped the Bulldogs with a big ole “L.” It was 2000 to be exact, when Gopher coaching great Ken Jacobson was still on the sidelines. The domination, the draught, is over. For a while, Chatfield did the dominating. Jake Neis set an early tone, picking off a Beau Nelson pass, giving Chatfield good field position. Seven plays later on 4th and 4, Nate Skare found Reid Danielson on a slant for 10-yards and the game’s first score (7-0). In the 2nd quarter, Neis again keyed the Goph’s. His 42-yard gallop put Chatfield at the PEM 15. A Skare 1-yard TD run made it 13-0. On the first play of Chatfield’s next series, Skare found Neis on a little receiver-screen. Neis made one cut, and then raced 36-yards for another Gopher TD. With the two-point conversion (Neis to Danielson pass), Chatfield led 21-0 heading to intermission. The 2nd half proved to be an exact opposite of the first. PEM opened with a 16-play drive (eleven runs by senior tailback Eric Rahman). Beau Nelson capped things by finding Tanner Lammer’s from 12-yards
away, pulling the home Bulldogs closer at 21-6. Following a Gopher punt, it was more Rahman. He toted the ball on every play of PEM’s drive (including a 66-yard jaunt), ending with a 3-yard TD plunge. With 2-point conversion, PEM was suddenly within seven at 21-14. With all the momentum, Bulldog coach Bill Ihrke made a gutsy call. PEM on-sided the ensuing kickoff, and recovered. It was then, back to Rahman. His seventh carry of the drive was a 4-yard TD plow, and more suddenly the game was tied at 21. At that point, PEM had run 31 second half plays to Chatfield’s seven. With less than six minutes left in the game, Chatfield looked to regroup. A sack on first down put Jeff Johnson’s boys in a second and 15 from the Gopher 30. Re-enter Jake Neis. The shifty tailback took a hand-off, found a nice hole in the right side of the Gopher line, broke the ankle of a PEM defender (not literally) with a great cut, and ran into the clear for a momentum halting/seizing 27-yarder into Bulldog territory. Alex Haffner followed with a 17-yard trek, giving the Goph’s more moxie. Neis capped the drive a few plays later, off right tackle again, sprinting 12-yards for the go-ahead (28-21) score with 3:32 to go. PEM still needed to be stopped. A 20-yard hook-and-
ladder helped their cause. Rahman going out per cramps did not. A pair of incomplete passes ended the threat (downs). From 21-up, to giving up 21 unanswered, to back ahead, Chatfield warded off, toppled, PlainviewElgin-Millville, handed them their second loss in as many weeks, 28-21. Neis was the catalyst (and gets the Athlete of the Week nod because of it). He did a little of everything, came up with the biggest plays Chatfield needed. The 5’9” 160-pound junior finished with 14 carries for 117 yards and a TD on the ground, a 36-yard TD reception, a two-point pass, and an interception. Nate Skare accounted for three Gopher TD’s, two via the air, one on the ground. Eric Rahman was PEM’s attack, carrying the ball 35 times for 200 yards and a pair of TD’s. The win gets Chatfield to 2-0, PEM to 0-2. We Don’t Work By The Hour! It’s an adage that refers to making quick work of an opponent. In reality, it took about two hours for Fillmore Central?s volleyballer’s to get past county adversaries Kingsland and Rushford-Peterson. They gave each foe an hour’s worth of their time (or thereabouts) and no more! Versus the Knights, the first set was competitive, with six lead changes and each team making runs. In the end, FC finished on the biggest spurt,
scoring 7 of the last 8 points. They took the game 25-21. They then proceeded to roll through games two (25-7) and three (2514) without too much trouble. Taylor Case had 9 kills, 11 digs, and 3 aces, a non-surprise, but Victoria Peterson stepped out of her sister’s shadow (or into her spot) and led the Falcons on the attack (13 kills). Morgan Malley chalked up 28 assists and 10 digs while Leah Scheevel gave FC another offensive option (6 kills). Cheyenne Losey (5 kills) and Jessi Kaster (19 digs) led the Knights. It was FC’s first 3-Rivers victory (versus one loss) and Kingsland’s first league game. A Thursday night later, FC trekked to Rushford to take on the Trojans in what looked to be a highly competitive affair. Alas, looks were somewhat deceiving. The Falcons downed R-P in the three sets. It took a couple modest comebacks to do so. A 7-1 Falcon spurt in the first game was ultra-key, turning a 9-7 deficit into a 14-10 lead, which held (25-16). A 9-1 spurt in game two was more critical, turning a 20-17 R-P lead into a 25-21 Falcon victory. The teal and black won the final game 25-16. Case (15 kills, 17 digs) and Peterson (9 kills) led the way, assisted (21 times) by Malley. With 16-16 night, Sammi Bakke finished the week 31-31 serving. R-P’s one-woman-attack-show of Amy Todd (15 kills) just couldn’t keep up, or wasn’t given the opportunity to (she nursed a sore shoulder thru the contest and was limited). Kendra Crawford racked up 19 digs defending the Falcons attack. Fillmore moved to 2-1 in the 3-Rivers, 3-1 overall. R-P drops to 1-2 in league, 7-4 overall.

The FCJ reaches over 12,000 households each week. the project if they get the grant. Garbage Issues Vickerman explained there was a disagreement about who was paying for what garbage in the downtown area, and so she and Mayor Rahn moved the dumpster to a temporary location near the coffee street bridge until things cooled down. She then informed the council they would be moving it to a permanent spot behind the fire hall. Other Business The council received a sample river glass ordinance and will look it over before the next meeting. A salary increase was approved for City Clerk Michelle Vrieze after completing her first year. It was approved to appoint Tony Semmen to the fire depart-
ment to replace a member that moved out of range. A liquor license was approved for the League of MN Cities Regional meeting, which will be in Lanesboro on October 3. The fire department’s Steak Fry was also approved. The annual contract with SEMCAC for energy assistance was approved with no changes from last year. The city will be researching the piano at the community center to see if there is any value in selling it as it is not being used. The office hour change will remain permanent, as they have worked well. The city office is open from 8-12, 12:30-3, and there are appointments available after that.

The final levy will be set at the December meeting. Bathhouse Grant The city council approved a resolution to allow Vickerman to apply for a Park Legacy grant that will allow the city to build a new bathhouse in the park that is handicapped accessible. According to Vickerman, Lanesboro qualifies for the grant, and it is worth pursuing. It is a 100 percent grant, but they get extra points if the city participates in some of the cost. It was approved to pay $5,000 toward
Kelly Printing and Signs expands
Harmony City Council approves new playground equipment
LANESBORO
By Barb Jeffers Kelly Printing and Signs of Preston, Minn. has expanded their workspace with the addition of another building. Owners Brad and Mike Kelly were in need of more space, and the new building will be perfect for vinyl installs with a large open area to do vehicle wraps. The upstairs area of the new building has additional space for an added work area, a small shop area, and a break room. Kelly Printing and Signs “kind of evolved” said owner Mike Kelly, to what is has become today. Mike and Brad’s parents, Richard and Esther Kelly, started the Fillmore County Journal in Preston, Minn. in 1985 and expanded with offset printing, becoming “Kelly Printing” in addition to the Fillmore County Journal. In 1996, they sold the Journal but continued with their printing business. Mike and Brad then started designing and making signs and

lettering for vehicles in their business, FCJ Signs, in Harmony, Minn. Eventually screenprinting was added which they did in Brad’s garage in Fountain, Minn. and began expanding their services. In 1999, they moved into their current building and became “Kelly Printing & Signs.” The business now has eight employees, including Andy Kelly, who is a certified 3M Preferred Graphics Installer. Kelly Printing and Signs does printing, screenprinting, embroidery, vinyl wraps, digital printing and offset printing and sells promotional items. The business is also the place to find Redwing shoes and Carhartt apparel. The new building is nearly finished and should be completed soon. Kelly Printing and Signs is located at 21142 U.S. Hwy 52, (Jct Hwy 52 & 16), Preston, Minn. The phone number is (507) 765-9805, and the website is www. kellyprintingandsigns.com.
By Jade Sexton Brand new playground equipment will be installed at Selvig Park in Harmony by next spring. At the regular city council meeting on September 11, 2012, the council approved the purchase of the equipment, moving along a project that has been in the works for about six years. The playground equipment at Selvig Park has been outdated and no longer meets safety codes. The Park Board has been saving and raising money and looking into different companies that sell equipment. They are going with Midwest Playscapes, for a cost of $53,000. That does not include installation or the ground fill and framing that will need to be done. Council member Dan Tieffenbacher said the Park Board would like the city to lend them the $23,500 they are short for the purchase price, and they will pay the city back. The council approved. The Park Board is hoping to get people or groups to donate time and labor to install the equipment. The area will be cleared out this fall and the new equipment can be installed in the spring. City Administrator Jerome Illg said the price of equipment comes with a supervisor from the company coming down to help with putting equipment together. They have not decided

on filler yet, but pea rock is the most economical choice. Budget and Levy After much discussion, the preliminary budget and levy was set for 2013. The preliminary levy was set at $570,000, which is a 10.5 percent increase from 2012. Mayor Donney made it clear that even if they keep the levy at this amount, it will not increase property taxes unless the value of a house has gone up. There is a TIF district that is expiring, which will broaden the tax base a little, and a bond
from 2002 that is paid off as well. Illg had originally set the levy at $586,900, which was a 14.65 percent increase. Mayor Donney first suggested they drop it to $560,000 to prevent from spending any more than that. They eventually compromised with $570,000. Council member Jim Bakken opposed the vote, as he didn’t feel they needed to make any cuts at this time. The final levy will not be set until December. Donney didn’t See HARMONY Page 15

feel the need to set it that high. Parking Lots Harmony Foods is looking to do some improvements to their parking lots, which include making changes to the Amish horse parking area. The council approved their plans. Illg informed the council that First Southeast Bank will be doing some remodeling and adding on to their building. While construction is going on, there will be a temporary drive-through in the parking lot behind the bank. The alley will not be affected. Building and Maintenance City Maintenance Employee Chris Johnson explained to the council that the city will be issued another three-year permit, but will have to dechlorinate their water at some point. He said he injects a ½ pound of chlorine to the affluent each day, and t he lowest he has measure the levels is around 0.2. They need to be around 0.0385, so

there is a long way to go. When asked by Mayor Donney why he doesn’t just add less chlorine, Johnson said they don’t get the disinfecting they need and the fecal counts go up with less chlorine. The city needs to have a plan in place to work on it in the next couple of years. Johnson said he has ordered a digester pump for the Wastewater Treatment plant but it will not be in for a month. The cost was $9,500. It went out in 2010 also, so there was a break given in the installment costs. Other business It was approved to vacate the easements on lots owned by Rodney Koliha. He has plans to turn the three lots into two, and there are two easements. There are no problems anticipated with electric, storm sewer, or any other utilities. The council approved the SEMCAC agreement for energy assistance, with no changes from last year. A commercial rehab loan was approved for $1,800 as recommended by the EDA.

same old friends that you haven’t seen since May! When I was in elementary school we had a morning milk break just like they do today (no, I didn’t have to go out and milk the cow in order to have fresh milk - we had milk trucks!!). Milk was five cents a carton. You could pay by the month ($1.00) or you could pay by the week (25 cents). The teacher kept track of when you paid. Since little girls didn’t carry purses back then, my mother had to figure out a way for me to get that money to school without losing it. Just putting it in my pocket didn’t always work. Too many things could happen while walking three blocks to school. I might find a pretty rock that needed to go

in my pocket or bend over and pick some flowers or even find a penny and cram it in my pocket. So, mom decided to get out one of her pretty floral handkerchiefs and tie the quarter in one of the corners of the hankie. Then I would tuck the handkerchief into my pocket. If the hankie fell out, at least the quarter didn’t roll away or get lost. After the teacher untied the knot and collected the quarter, I had a nice hankie to use in case I had to blow my nose! Didn’t have any soft Kleenex back then. Our only choice for milk was white - no chocolate! The teacher usually read a story while we drank our milk. After we were all done she lined us all up and we headed down the hall to the lavatory. We didn’t call it the bathroom or restroom, just plain old lavatory. She ushered the boys into their side and the
girls into our side. After we were finished we had to line up again in the hall for the walk back to our classroom. She checked to make sure we had washed our hands and that the zippers were up on the boys’ pants and that none of us girls had our dresses “accidently” tucked into our underwear! When it came to washing our hands we had faucets that usual-

Chatfield sets preliminary levy and budget for 2013 By Karen Reisner City Clerk Joel Young stated at the council’s September 10 meeting that the proposed levy increase is now at 4.8 percent, down from a few weeks ago. A total of ten thousand was removed from the preliminary budget of which $5,000 reduced the levy and $5,000 was added to the sewer subsidy to give a little relief to sewer rate payers.
Councilor Josh Thompson was absent. The preliminary budget and levy public hearing will be at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 10, 2012, in the city council chambers. Outlot B The Public Works Committee over the last six months or so has worked through a process with neighboring property own-

ers to sell most of the outlot to adjacent property owners. The city does not have an easy access to the property nor does it properly care for the property. There have been two neighborhood meetings. Pricing plans have been reviewed with the adjacent neighbors. The property came to the city through developer donations. Most neighbors have been in favor of the proposal, but two are dissatisfied with the pricing and one has been opposed to selling land near the retention pond. Young suggested it might be best just to sell the grassy area and not the wooded area. Councilor Paul Novotny said they may need to keep a portion of the outlot for an alternative route for maintenance of the retention pond. Mayor Don Hainlen said

The committee recommended that parking restrictions be restored for Main Street, which prohibit parking from 2:00 a.m.-6:00 a.m., seven days per week. The restrictions will be from First Street to Fifth Street. The council approved the additional parking restrictions on Main Street. •A motion to sign an agreement and authorize the drilling of a groundwater observation well at Mill Creek Park east of the storage sheds by the DNR was approved. The well will be part of a statewide network of observation wells to assess groundwater resources. It will be used to measure water levels in the Jordan Aquifer.

in Preston has seen its share of injuries related to farm tools and equipment. But the most obvious reasons to go to see a doctor are not the only reasons people go there. Registered Nurse Jodi Bergey said there are sometimes injuries or illness related to working with livestock. They have seen people who have been kicked by cows, thrown off a horse, or who have contracted disease such as ringworm from the animals. There are also dangers to working outdoors; they have also seen cases of frostbite during the winter months. “We also get questions about pesticide or chemical exposure,” shared Bergey. “But the big things are injuries related to

tools and equipment.” OMC can only handle a certain amount of injuries. They can take x-rays and they can do sutures and casting, but anything more extensive requires a trip to a larger hospital. Many people still go to their local clinic because it’s a familiar place, a small place that they are comfortable with. Farm injuries happen to all age groups, from children to older adults. Bergey stressed the importance of learning how to be safe on the farm. “They should make sure the take the farm safety course, which many of the schools do now,” she said. “And even if they are just jumping on the four-wheeler to check
the cattle, we certainly promote wearing helmets.” Farm equipment has more safety features than ever before, but it’s important people know how to use them, and use them when they are available. Taking a short amount of time to learn how to properly use equipment can potentially save a life or prevent a major life-changing injury. “It’s important people wear boots, use gloves, goggles and masks if they need to,” said Bergey. In cases of emergencies, or whenever in doubt, it’s best to head to a larger hospital or dial 911 for an ambulance.

Is your ATV a farm machine? Jerrold Tesmer, Extension Educator for Fillmore/Houston Counties A few weeks ago I started doing research on a topic for this Farm Safety Week column. What struck me was how often ATVs were included Jerrold Tesmer in the Agricultural Safety information. For example the bulleted points below are from a fact sheet by the American Society of Safety Engineers. As you can see, “ATV” is listed four times under Machinery Safety. Machinery Safety
•Familiarize yourself with specific hazards associated with your machinery and ATV. Safe operating procedures are available in the owner’s manual. •Do not carry passengers on ATVs designed for a single rider. •Be aware of the risk of overturn when operating an ATV. Use extra caution on uneven terrain and ensure that all loads are appropriately balanced. •Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry and keep hair tied back when operating machinery. •Ensure completion of regular machine maintenance and inspection of safety guards. •Do not make modifications to machinery not recommend-

And from another source, the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, “Of the leading sources of fatal injuries to youth, 25 percent involved machinery, 17 percent involved motor vehicles (includes ATVs), and 16 percent were due to drowning.” “Nearly 80 percent of injured children were not actively working when the injury occurred.” My thought when I put this together is ATVs have a work related purpose on the farm, but are often not being used for that purpose. Youth riding ATVs need training and supervision just like any other piece of equipment. I want to end on a positive

children who visit, live or work on farms or ranches are injured and more than 100 children die of agriculture-related injuries in the United States alone, according to the Progressive Agriculture Foundation. With staggering statistics like these, it’s time to make a change by developing a “safety first” attitude for the entire family. “It’s always a good time to talk safety,” says Greg Embury, vice president of sales and marketing for Kubota Tractor Corporation. “We encourage parents to regularly sit down with children of all ages and remind them to be extremely careful around any type of equipment - tractors, lawn and garden equipment and utility vehicles are tools and not toys.” To help parents start the safety conversation with their children, Kubota is offering farm safety tips and getting kids directly involved through its Farm Safety Coloring Contest. Now through Oct. 1, 2012, families of children 12 and younger can download a page from the “Ten Commandments of Tractor Safety” coloring book and color and send it in for a chance to win prizes. Visit Kubota.com and click on the Safety tab to find out how you and your family can learn more about farm safety while showing off your creative skills. Kubota offers the following tips to help equipment owners and operators start the safety conversation with kids: * Stop, look and listen when playing outside, especially on the farm, and always be aware of your surroundings. * Farm equipment is not safe for children to ride on even when an adult is present. * Tractors are not toys. They are powerful machines only to be used by adults who are thoroughly familiar with the equipment. * Children should never ride a tractor. Just say “no” if someone wants to give you a ride. It is not safe to be a rider when the tractor is intended for one operator. * Stay out of the path of all moving equipment. And, stand far away from a tractor when it is being started, when it is running and especially when it is working. * Never stand behind a tractor - whether it is running or not - the operator might not see you and you could get hurt. * Be a “safety first sheriff” and encourage use of seatbelts for your entire family. Just like in a car, a tractor is equipped with a seatbelt for safety. Additionally, a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) on a tractor is in place to protect the driver/ operator. Other ways to get involved include participating in local
education programs. The Progressive Agriculture Foundation holds a Safety Day education program designed to make safety education and training available for children year-round. Now in its 18th year, the pro-
gram will conduct more than 420 Safety Day events in 2012 across the U.S. and Canada, reaching 100,000 participants. To find a safety program near you, visit www.ProgressiveAg. org.

Give blood during National Sickle Cell Awareness Month
Help the American Red Cross meet the needs of patients by donating blood during September – National Sickle Cell Awareness Month. Sickle cell anemia is a disease which affects 70, 000 people in the United States, most of them of African descent, but also people of Spanish, French, Italian, Greek and Turkish descent. Sickle cell disease causes red
blood cells to form an abnormal crescent shape. One of the most common treatments for sickle cell disease is regular blood transfusions, which can help reduce the risk of stroke, damage to major organs that can lead to severe infections, and other complications. There is currently no cure for sickle cell disease. It’s important that blood

donors reflect the ethnic diversity of the patients who receive their blood. Patients with sickle cell disease – primarily in the African-American community – are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone within their racial and ethnic group. The Red Cross is committed to maintaining a diverse base of blood donors to help ensure that all blood types are available for patients with serious medical needs. How to Donate Blood Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies more than 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

yucatan township BOARD OF SUPERVISORS INTERIM ORDINANCE and MORATORIUM INDUSTRIAL MINERALS MINING MORATORIUM The Board of Supervisors of Yucatan Township approves, enacts and ordains the following interim ordinance: WHEREAS: 1. Minnesota Statutes § 462.355, subd.4, authorizes a township board of supervisors to approve, implement and enforce an interim ordinance or moratorium designed to prohibit a land use activity for a period up to one year, during which time the township board of supervisors conducts a study of the land use activity being prohibited. 2. Numerous township residents have voiced concern about the potential adverse impacts of introducing a network of motorized vehicle recreational trails on private property in this township. 4. The Houston County board of commissioners recently accepted a petition from residents of Houston County for environmental review of a proposed industrial minerals mining project located in Yucatan Township. 5. The Houston County board of commissioners determined that such proposed industrial minerals mining project located in Yucatan Township has “the potential for significant environmental effects”. 6. This township has several existing small rock quarries and sand pits from which “construction minerals” are excavated and mined. 7. This township values and derives benefits from the excavation and mining of “construction minerals” from excavation and mining sites within this township. 8. The definition of “construction minerals” is natural common rock, stone, aggregate, gravel and sand that is excavated, mined and produced for local construction purposes, including road pavement, unpaved road gravel or cover, concrete, asphalt, bUilding and dimension stone, railroad ballast, decorative stone, retaining walls, riprap, mortar sand, construction lime, agricultural lime and bedding sand for livestock operations, sewer and septic systems and sand blasting. That definition is contained in the North American Industry Classification System administered by the US Census Agency as classification number 212321. That definition is also used by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in its minerals classification. 9. The definition of “construction minerals” does not include silica sand or high quality quartz, which are included within the definition of “industrial minerals”. 10. The definition of “industrial minerals” include all natural stone, silica sand, quartz, graphite, diamonds, gemstones, kaolin, and other similar minerals used in industrial applications. That definition is contained in the North American Industry Classification System administered by the US census Agency as classification number 212322. That definition is also used by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in its minerals classification. 11. Several counties and townships in southeastern Minnesota, including Houston County, have recently adopted and implemented moratoria or interim ordinances to temporarily prohibit the extraction and mining of “industrial minerals” to enable local government units to study the potential impact of industrial minerals extraction and mining activity. RESOLUTIONS RESOLVED: 1. The Board of Supervisors is authorized to immediately begin conducting a study of industrial minerals mining activity to determine its potential impact upon the public health, water quality and quantity, traffic hazards, road repair and maintenance, compatibility with township land use vision and environmental degradation. 2. The Board of Supervisors hereby creates and authorizes a planning commission to conduct a stUdy of industrial minerals mining activity to determine its potential impact upon public health, water quality and contamination, excessive water consumption, traffic hazards, road repair and maintenance, property value deterioration, damage to nearby rivers and streams, the introduction of large-scale industrial activity into agricultural and recreational areas, and environmental
degradation; and to make land use recommendations to this Board of Supervisors. 3. The Board of Supervisors will appoint residents of Yucatan Township to serve on the planning commission, including one member of the Board of Supervisors. 4. The Yucatan Township Board of Supervisors approves an interim ordinance or moratorium prohibiting all new and expanded industrial minerals mining and excavation activity within this township for a period of one year, effective immediately. 5. During the period of this moratorium, no person or property owner will (i) mine or extract, or allow other persons to mine or extract, from land located within this township any industrial minerals, (ii) drill, or allow other persons to drill, any exploratory wells on land located within this township for the purpose of determining the feasibility of mining or extracting any industrial minerals, or (iii) wash or otherwise process, or allow other persons to wash or process, on land located within this township any mined or extracted industrial minerals. 6. Persons or property owners engaged in the extraction and mining of “construction minerals” are exempt and excluded from this moratorium or interim ordinance; provided that such persons or property owners do not engage in the mining or extraction of “industrial minerals” during the period of this moratorium or interim ordinance. 2 7. The clerk of Yucatan Township is directed to (i) publish and give notice ofthis moratorium in the authorized legal newspaper for this township, and (ii) give notice of this moratorium to the Houston County Zoning Administrator. 8. The Board of Supervisors is authorized and empowered to enforce this moratorium through all available legal means, including litigation if necessary. 9. Any person or property owner determined to be responsible for violating this moratorium will be liable to Yucatan Township for all costs of this township enforcing this moratorium, including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees. 10. This interim ordinance and moratorium will expire on September 10,2013, unless the Board of Supervisors terminates this interim ordinance and moratorium earlier than such expiration date.
