Kaase begins new chapter By Jason Sethre
County officials take oath of office
jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com
By K aren R eisner
On the morning of Monday, January 5, 2015, Tom Kaase was sworn into office as the Sheriff of Fillmore County in the Fillmore County Commissioners Board Room. This is a big event in the history of Fillmore County -- any time a new Sheriff is elected into office. In southern Minnesota, this past election saw a major turnover in law enforcement leadership at the position of Sheriff. Both incumbent Sheriffs of Olmsted County and Dodge County, Dave Mueller and Jim Jensen, respectively, were defeated by members of their departments -- Kevin Torgerson and Scott Rose. But, in Fillmore County, it was a different story. Former Sheriff Daryl Jensen was retiring, leaving the door open for the election process to decide the fate of the leadership seat for Fillmore County’s most powerful law enforcement position. And, that seat will now be filled by Tom Kaase. With over 30 years of law enforcement and leadership experience, with both the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Department and the Rochester Police

County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman called the annual county board meeting to order on January 6. District Judge Matt Opat administered the oath of office to county officials who were elected this past November. Commissioners Duane Bakke and Randy Dahl, Auditor/Treasurer Shirl Boelter, County Attorney Brett Corson, and County Recorder David Kiehne all had been re-elected for another term in office. Newly elected Sheriff Tom Kaase had taken his oath of office on January 5. Bakke was elected to serve as chairman and Marc Prestby as vice-chair for 2015. Bakke said he expects 2015 to be a challenging year. The board will be short a commissioner for another three months until after the special election on March 31 for first district commissioner, the seat vacated by Tom Kaase. Commissioner Harry Root was recently sworn in after the November election, filling an open seat due to the resignation of Chuck Amunrud in May of 2014.

Fillmore County’s Sheriffs Tom Kaase has become the 28th Sheriff of Fillmore County dating back to the very first Sheriff to serve starting on May 28, 1853. With the help of Debra Richardson, Executive Director of the Fillmore County History Center, we are able to share a glimpse of history focused solely on the position of Sheriff for this county named after the 13th President of the United States. According to Fillmore Coun-

ty History Center records, most leaders who have served as the Sheriff of Fillmore County have not lasted very long. From 1853 to 1897, there were 17 Sheriffs in office. That’s an average of 2.6 years in office per Sheriff. But, the Sheriff with the longest shelf-life was at the turn of the century; E. K. Blexrud was Fillmore County Sheriff from January 5, 1897 to January 7, 1919 -- a total of 22 years in office. The office of Sheriff is an elected position with a four year term in the state of Minnesota. In the event this position is vacated mid-term, the

C ommentary The energy boom in America: Who gets the credit? By Jeff Erding “Great Depression” of the 1930’s. These years have been terribly painful for millions of Americans, and according to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service, the recovery has been slower Jeff Erding and more anemic by far than the average of the last 10 recoveries. The last two months, there has been evidence of a light at the end of the tunnel: fuel prices have dropped dramatically, giving Americans much more money left in their pockets after filling their fuel tanks. This means the folks have funds to use for debt reduction, to go to the movies, to buy durable goods, to take on a mortgage; in short, more disposal income. This situation will be a definite boost for the economy in the long run. America is on the verge of energy independence, now producing within our borders 85% of the fossil fuels needed to run the country. Oil production has risen an astonishing 80% in America since 2008. Because of recent innovations to reduce emissions from coal fired power plants and the substantial uptick in availability of extremely clean burning natural gas, America is the world leader in emission reductions. Green Energy (wind,solar), although certain to be extremely important in the future, has very little to do with either our emission reductions or our looming independence from foreign oil and is at least a generation away Editorial Cartoon
from being a significant part of the energy picture. So who do Americans have to thank for the ray of hope provided by the energy boom? The White House has been quick to claim the credit. A visit to the official White House website will reveal a plethora of material taking credit for any and all improvements in domestic energy production and the sure to follow improved economy. In November, Mr. Obama waxed eloquent during a visit to a steel mill in Ohio, touting administration policies that have created thousands of jobs, claiming his policies are “Building a new foundation for economic growth in America.” White House spokesman Jay Carney often refers to Administration policies on emission control and more stringent federal automotive mileage standards as being the keys to our improved energy situation. So who deserves the credit? Can Mr. Obama and the Liberal, Secular Progressive crowd rightfully claim the accolades? Fact checking again with the Congressional Research Service and the Western Energy Alliance, it turns out not so much. In reality, the huge economyboosting increase in energy and jobs related to the oil boom has taken place not BECAUSE of administration policies, but IN SPITE of them!! The administration, far from encouraging increased exploration, production, and energy refining, has done everything in its power to block any increase in the availability of fossil fuel products including the cleanest burning of all, natural gas. That’s right folks; while production on private and state held lands has
jumped over 80% in six years, is has actually dropped on federally controlled land from 1.7 million barrels a day to 1.6 million barrels. The administration has actively opposed any and all pipeline construction or drilling permits, choking off thousands of high paying jobs and forcing oil transport by barge, ship, and rail, which is much less efficient and more dangerous. (Ever seen a train derailment involving tanker cars? It ain’t pretty!) Many recent attempts have been made to upgrade the capacity of America to refine petroleum products; all neatly blocked by Mr. Obama and his minions in the Senate. Evan Paul Krugman, a syndicated columnist and liberal professor of economics, has publicly urged the administration to get on board with increased energy production. Krugman recognized months ago that energy production in America should be increased as much as possible in an effort to break the strangle hold Vladimir Putin and Russia have on Europe. Turns out he is correct (and believe me folks, I hate to admit Krugman is right about anything!) as the ruble has dropped 50% in value in the past three months and Mr. Putin has a triple extra strength Excedrin headache! It also means less money for middle east terrorist organizations, certainly an added benefit. Remarkable, when you think about it. The most anti-fossil fuel Administration and American President in history has presided over an oil industry that has allowed us to achieve oil production in excess of imports for the first time in 15 years! In the year 2015, America will be the WORLD’S LARGEST oil producer, and at the same time, the world leader in emissions reduction because of the increased use of cheap, clean
natural gas, all produced by fracking and all with the same presiding administration doing everything possible to cripple production! So who really deserves credit? More than anyone, oilman Harold Hamm, who is responsible for development of the huge Bakken Oil Field in North Dakota. In 2008, Mr. Hamm visited Mr. Obama to break the exciting news that America, with the help of the new administration, could achieve the holy grail of “ Energy Independence” so long sought by every United States President. Mr. Obama’s reaction? Quote from billionaire Harold Hamm, “He barely listened to me. He didn’t want anything to do with any of it!” That’s OK Mr. Hamm. Turns out you did pretty well without him anyway! The next time I fill up my tractor, car, or truck, I’m going to tip my hat to the hard working Americans in the oil industry. They didn’t wait around for any government handouts: they rolled up their sleeves and went to work in a tough, dirty business. They helped out their fellow Americans and at the same time weakened our enemies, and for that I salute them! God Bless until next time, Jeff Editor’s note: This commentary was published in the Monday, January 5, 2015 issue of the Fillmore County Journal.

Letter about prayer for our law enforcement To the Editor, Over the past few months, an increasing number of law enforcement officers across our nation have been targeted and even killed. A dangerous occupation has become even more so in some areas. As we begin a new year, let us pray for those serving in the Fillmore County Sheriff ’s Department. And when a siren is heard, pray for the ones offering assistance as well as for those in need. As we have opportunity, let us express our appreciation for their good work. May God guide and protect those who risk their lives to make our county a safe and better place. Pastor Mike Hopper Fillmore, MN

C ommentary One Moment, Please... Take an interest in your history By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal Cell: (507) 251-5297 jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com With the recent retirement of Sheriff Jensen, and the introduction of Sheriff Kaase into his new role with Fillmore County, I was curious how many Sheriffs had Jason Sethre served this great county. So, I contacted Debra Richardson, the Executive Director of the Fillmore County History Center. And, far exceeding my expectations, Debra provided a list of every Sheriff who has ever served Fillmore County and the dates of their service. To me, this bit of history adds to our story, and hopefully you enjoyed that nugget of information. But, as I said before, none of that information would be possible without the help of Debra
Richardson and the bountiful resources of the Fillmore County History Center. What I hope everyone takes away from this commentary is a sense of appreciation for what we have in our local historians. Each week, Adrienne Britson, one of our lead designers, coordinates the content for the Journal Flashback, taking us back in time to see what was happening in this area 30 years ago. And, at the bottom of this weekly feature, on a rotation basis, we provide free ad space to our local history centers. Our history centers provide a wealth of knowledge, but they operate with very limited budgets. While all of us may not take as much of an interest in history when we are younger, eventually our curiosity brings us back to our roots. Especially in this area, where the majority of us are probably related, it’s interesting to explore how our genealogy interesects. We all have a history, and its often better than fiction. Because it relates to us.
Rebuttal to Herb Panko’s guest commentary By Jeff Erding Wykoff, Mn I wish to express my appreciation for the commentary submitted by Herb Panko in the 12/29/31 FCJ. With his typical personal attacks and predict- Jeff Erding able references to the decades old accomplishments of his chosen party, Mr. Panko could save his original commentary from a couple years ago, change a sentence or two, plagiarize the title of his intended victim, and submit the article with a very minimum of effort; one submittal is just another broken record of the last. One aspect I appreciate is his ability to further the cause of conservatism immensely by alienating the readers with his invective- filled writing. He accuses me personally and conservatives in general of, and I quote, “unsupported statements, gross exaggerations, false allegations, and failure to provide alternative solutions.” Those of you who read my submittals know I do my research and always reveal where the information comes from. Quite often, I have used quotes and information from liberal individuals and entities. Gross exaggerations and false allegations? Bull feathers! I stand by every fact and statistic listed in every commentary I have submit-
ted. Mr. Panko deliberately uses generalities in his attacks because he knows that his positions are indefensible. One can’t respond effectively to a non-specific criticism, so Herb uses the typical weapon of the Far Left: Personal attacks and non specific invective. No alternative solutions? I can’t take credit for thinking of them all, but I did list 15 specific actions in my last article. Enough said about that! As far as listing sources, anyone out there remember Mr. Panko listing even one source for all the “ facts” he so proudly proclaims? Anybody? So the cute little story about the white officer who resigned, where did that come from? Was a source listed? Nope. Lastly, Mr. Panko does a better job than I ever could describing how the tentacles of socialism are slowly but surely winding around the throats of American citizens, threatening to destroy the best and brightest nation in world history. Keep writing Mr. Panko! People like you make my job a pleasure!
Fillmore Central Jazz Band alumni To 2005-2014 FCHS Jazz Band Alumni: We are planning our first EVER alumni jazz band! We would love to have former members of the FCHS Jazz Ensemble 2005-present come play in a group during our annual “big band bash” the first weekend in May. Here is what we propose: Interested players contact Mr. Powell immediately via email: lane.powell@isd2198.k12. mn.us. He will get you music and confirm information with you. There will be a practice session on Friday night, May 1st. We will play through a couple charts, assign solos, and have fun. Then, we will spend the rest of the evening eating and socializing with each other! On Saturday night, May 2, we will have this group play during the dinner concert as your bands did in years past. We think this will be an EXCELLENT way to encourage our current students to stay active in playing as adults, as well as to bring together so many of the fabulous people who have contributed to making our program as successful as it is today. There is no cost to you, as a performer, unless we decide to make an alumni jazz band T-Shirt. If we do that, it would be $15 per shirt. If you know of ANYONE who might be interested, please have them contact Mr. Powell!!!! Thanks! Hope to see you there!

Stay safe in bitter cold weather With this week’s cold winter blast, Winneshiek Medical Center wants to remind those heading outdoors that frostbite can occur within a short amount of time. If your fingers, nose or Andy Goodner, toes start to M.D., Mayo Clinic hurt or have a Health System famprickling feel- ily medicine physiing, it’s a warn- cian at Winneshiek ing to get out of Medical Center. the cold. If they begin to numb, you are starting to get frostbite. Other signs and symptoms include: •Red, white, bluish-white or grayishyellow skin •Hard or waxy-looking skin •Clumsiness due to joint and muscle stiffness •Blistering after rewarming, in severe cases If you suspect frostbite, Andy Goodner, M.D., Mayo Clinic Health System family medicine physician at Winneshiek Medical Center, advises, “Warm up the affected area as quickly as possible with gentle rubbing. As the
blood flow resumes, the frostbitten area will begin to hurt, sometimes quite a bit. This is a good sign, meaning the tissues are still alive,” says Dr. Goodner. Dr. Goodner suggests soaking the affected area in warm water for 15 to 30 minutes, but cautions against rewarming frostbitten skin with hot water, or direct heat such as a stove, heat lamp, fireplace or heating pad. This can cause burns. If, however, your skin turns black, it is time to seek medical attention. Dr. Goodner says, “You may have leftover numbness for several months after minor frostbite, but this does not require medical attention. If tissues turn black, see a doctor so that the threatened tissues can be preserved.” Prevention is the key If you need to head outside, limit the time you’re outdoors in cold, wet or windy weather. To prevent frostbite, be sure to: •Dress in several layers of loose, warm clothing •Change out of wet clothing - particularly gloves, hats and socks - as soon as possible. •Wear a hat or headband that fully covers your ears •Wear mittens rather than gloves •Keep moving

in Decorah, Iowa. They had four daughters: Glenda, Sharon, Lorna and Kathy. They were later divorced. He was inducted in to the US Army on September 28, 1943 and was a private in the Air Corps. He later received an honorable discharge. On November 29, 1951, he married Lorraine Nichols in Long Beach, Calif.. Together they raised four daughters: Karen, Cathy, Amy, and Linda and two sons: Robert and Glenn. Lorraine died in June 2001. Glenn had numerous jobs over the years. Two of his favorites were driving a Greyhound bus in Calif. and traveling the U.S. as an over-the-road trucker for many years. He was also a radio DJ in Oakes, ND, playing the country western music he enjoyed as his children listened from home. He returned his family to his home town of Chatfield in 1969. He enjoyed several years as the city’s dog catcher, going to great lengths to return the pets to their owners or find them new homes. He always said, “The more I know people, the more I love my dog.” He loved playing card games, cribbage, bingo, and auction sales. After he retired, he discovered a love and talent for wood working and made a variety of keepsakes for his family, which they will treasure. He learned to play the organ in his 70’s and in his 80’s learned to use a computer. He rode his moped around Chatfield until in his late 80’s. He had a difficult time “acting his age”. Glenn is survived by seven of
his daughters: Glenda (Fleming) Garman (Jim) of Tucson, Ariz. and her children, Dawn, John and David; Sharon Teat of Stillwater, Minn. and her children, Michael, Kathy and Sharry; Lorna Smasal (Mike) of Buffalo, Minn. and their children, Robyn and Dennis; Karen Castle (Bill) of Gladstone, Mich. and their daughter, Mitzi; Cathy Finseth of Chetek, Wisc. and her daughters, Jenny and Jessica; Amy Zincke (Dave) of Stewartville, Minn. and their children, Angela and David; Linda Suter (Bob) of Rochester, Minn. and their daughter, Amanda; one son, Glenn Nichols II (Mary) of Chatfield, Minn. and their daughters, Nicole & Sara; and daughter-in-law, Michelle Nichols of Chatfield, Minn. and her children, Joshua, Ashley and Tanner. He was also blessed with 25 great-grandchildren. He is survived by a special niece, Lanette (Russ) Turchin of Gwinner, ND, who he loved like a daughter, his youngest sister, Twyla (Toy) Huggett (Don) of St. Bonifacius, Minn. and many loving nieces and nephews. He is also survived by special friend, Joyce Markus of Plainview, Minn.. They shared a love of bingo, watching Twins and Vikings games and enjoyed a lively game of Kings in the Corner. He is also survived by his German Shepherd, Keno, who was his best friend and constant companion for over 13 years. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Lorraine; daughter, Kathy Nichols; son, Robert Nichols; his parents; sons-in-law, Leon Teat and Harry Fleming; a brother, Curtis; and sisters, Allene Shattuck,
Donna Huff, and Jean Krause. The family would like to extend their deepest thanks for the compassionate “end of life” care provided Dad by the medical team (Drs. Molly Feely & Deanne Kashiwagi & PA Kristin Hembre) and the nursing staff (Tina Oin, Katie Lemke, Amy Roberson & Macy Malin) on Joseph 7 while at St Mary’s Hospital; to public health nurses, Angie Bicknese and Maisa Johnson and Dr. John Cierzan at OMC, thank you for always being Dad’s advocates and helping us make good decisions about his health care; to home health care provider, Patty Schweitzer and nurse, April Johnson, for the loving in-home care that enabled Dad to remain in his home for so long; and a special thank you to Cate Milbrandt and her girls for recently “adopting” Keno and giving him such a wonderful home. You came in to Dad’s life at just the right time. As were his wishes, a private interment service will be held when the Preston Veterans Memorial Cemetery is completed. Memorials will be used for the continued care of Keno and other rescued German Shepherds or may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. Glenn loved his family deeply and will be greatly missed. He will live on in their hearts forever. Riley Funeral Home in Chatfield is assisting the family with arrangements. Donald T. Morem Donald T. Morem, age 92, a lifelong Harmony resident, passed away on January 7, 2015, at the Gundersen Harmony Healthcare Center. Funeral services took place 11 a.m.,

After the organizational portion of the meeting came to a close, the board was informed by Superintendent Abraham that there could possibly be
a reduction in staff, including tenured staff, as a result of declining enrollment. According to the agenda item, “Due to the tentative nature of online enrollments, this will be the first time in several years that the staff reductions might need to include tenured staff.” At the second meeting in January, the board will be asked to pass a resolution that would direct the superintendent to make recommendations on adjustments to curriculum, programs, and staff for 2015-2016 school year. Superintendent Abraham was happy to announce that the elementary school will be having a celebration for being named a Reward School. The Reward celebration will be at 2 p.m. on January 22. There will be speeches made and the Reward banner will be revealed. The next Houston School Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 20 at 6 p.m. in the Houston High School library.
Conference to focus on nutrient management efficiency and environmental benefits ST. PAUL, MN – Farmers and agriculture professionals can hear about the latest nutrient management research regarding fertilizer use efficiency at the sixth annual Minnesota Crop Nutrient Management Conference on Monday, February 9, 2015, at the Verizon Wireless Center in Mankato. The conference will examine current nutrient management issues in a rapidly changing production environment. The program will focus on nitrogen and phosphorus management from commercial fertilizers and animal manures. Speakers will provide an in-depth approach to
residency. The event is free and open to the public. Michael Lee is a poet with an aura of energy and intensity about life, a ready smile, and tattoos up his arms. He has found considerable success as a young writer absent a college degree, with notable publications in journals such as Indiana Review, and has received grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and Intermedia Arts. He has received national recognition for poetry slam performances, and ranked in the top ten at the 2011 Individual World Poetry Slam Championship. His two passions are poetry and youth work; Michael is a teaching artist and youth counselor for homeless teens in Minneapolis. “My goal for the Lanesboro residency, simply put, is to write and edit tirelessly,” he says. “Heaven Face”, his first full length manuscript, centers around the murder of a close childhood friend and the world of drugs, alcohol and psychosis Michael fell into following his friend’s death. While hinging on immense loss, the book also

finds reprieve, resurrection and transformation in a mythologization of childhood, physical labor, nature and memory. Michael is also eager to work with the seventh grade students as a valuable part of his residency. “As an educator and a poet, I have found that hosting workshops is essential for the development of my own work. It is easy to forget one’s advice and knowledge when facing one’s own work (“be specific”, “show, don’t tell”) . . . however a steady practice of critiquing other’s work allows a writer to remain privy to their own lessons,” he says. Since its inception in 2001, Lanesboro Arts has brought 39 artists to Lanesboro for artist residencies. Michael Lee’s project was awarded one of two 2015 residencies by a panel of arts professionals, from a pool of more than fifty applicants of artists nationwide. In Lanesboro, Minn., the Lanesboro Residency Program provides opportunities for emerging artists to create new work and integrate work into the local community. Lanesboro Arts’ residencies include stipend, lodging and studio space. Annual application deadline is June 30. For guidelines or more information, contact Lanesboro Arts, (507)467-2446 / info@lanesboroarts.org. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. Lanesboro Arts serves as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing diverse art experiences for people of all ages.
various management practices for these important nutrients. Sessions will also address fertilizer industry trends, micronutrients, and the effects of cover crops and changing weather on fertilizer management. Speakers include fertilizer industry professionals, staff from the USDA Agricultural Research Service, and extension research specialists from Iowa State University, North Dakota State University, University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, and University of Wisconsin.

Protect yourself from the flu with three Cs Cover your cough, Clean your hands, Contain your germs “Winneshiek Medical Center cares about the health and wellbeing of our community,” says Winneshiek Medical Center’s Chief Medical Officer, Robert Flinchbaugh, D.O. “It’s important to remind our patients, family, friends and neighbors about simple steps you can do to prevent the flu from spreading.” According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), about half the country is experiencing high levels of flu activity, and Winneshiek County is no exception. People with the flu can spread it to others when they cough, sneeze or talk and germ droplets get in the mouth, nose or are inhaled by people nearby. You can also get the flu by touching a surface that is infected with the virus and then touching your mouth or nose. Dr. Flinchbaugh, says, “Most people recover from the flu in a few days, but for some, it causes complications that can threaten their health.” Winneshiek Medical Center and the CDC recommend using the ‘3 Cs’ to help stop the spread of flu: •Clean your hands often with soap and water •Contain your germs. Staying away from people who are sick. Stay home and away from public places like the hospital, church, school and nursing homes if you have fever/chills, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, muscle/body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness), vomiting or diarrhea. •Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. The flu is different from a cold and usually comes on suddenly.
People can have the flu without having a fever. “Many people develop some or all of these symptoms during flu season,” says Dr. Flinchbaugh. Visitor limitations In response to the rise in influenza, Winneshiek Medical Center is implementing visitor limitations. “It is our standard to implement visitor limitations to protect our patients who are already ill and the newborns we are caring for,” says Brenda Schwan, RN, BSN, CIC, WMC Infection Prevention Specialist. “We want the public to understand that our priority is to protect patients who trust their care to us. This means implementing limitations that may affect whether or not you will be allowed to visit.” WMC visitor limitations include: •Visiting Hours are 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. •WELL visitors ONLY. Feeling WELL means you have no fever, no cough, no sore throat, no achiness, no chills, no headache, no stuffy or runny nose. •You MUST feel well AND clean your hands before entering any patient room. WMC provides sanitizer dispensers throughout the facility. “Our staff may modify these limitations under special circumstances, such as end of life situations,” says Schwan. “The decision to modify visitor limitations will be based on the needs of our patients.” If you have questions or would like to learn more about influenza and how you can prevent spreading the illness, visit winmedical.org/staying-well or contact your provider.

Rushford Village sets annual designations; goals By Kirsten Zoellner The first Rushford Village meeting lasted just 24 minutes before the council moved to closed session. Absent were Mayor Gordon Johnson and councilor Chad Rasmussen. 2015 kicked off with the standard annual housekeeping: determining committees, boards, contracts, and financials. There was only one change from 2014. Following a closed session to discuss contract negotiations with Kristina Mart, the council moved to approve a rate of $16 per hour, increasing annual salary to $26,624. Benefits include 56 hours of vacation, limited to 40 hours carrying over to 2016, and 96 hours of personal time. Councilor Dennis Overland was again appointed Mayor pro-tem for the year. No changes were made on any of the city’s committees: finance – Gordon Johnson, Dennis Overland, Kristina Mart, Judy Graham; health officers – Gordon Johnson, Dennis Overland, Ambulance Director Lynn Humble, and Fire Chief Paul Corcoran; board of health – Winona Health, Dr. Gary Marcoux, DDS, and Dr. Tom Taggart, DVM; board of appeal
and equalization – Hamilton Peterson, Todd Baker; assistant weed inspector – Hamilton Peterson; data practices authority: Kristina Mart; employee contract – Gordon Johnson. The city will retain the following services and approved 2015 contracts and rates for: insurance - Butch Johnson Insurance Agency; city attorney - Tom Manion ($100 per hour, $250 per meeting maximum); city auditor - Engleson & Associates; animal control – Robert Brand ($375 per quarter); park-city office lawns – Duane Koenen ($100 mow and trim or $30 trim only); part-time public works – Bob Thieret ($30 per hour as needed until December 31, 2015). Additionally, the city approved rates of pay for public works/ maintenance supervisor Travis Scheck at $18 per hour, plus an additional $1 per hour increase for each water and sewer license obtained. Treasurer Graham will see $20 per hour, with an additional $40 per meeting, with no benefits. Outstanding indebtedness for the city, as of January 1, 2015, is $634,944.68. The bulk of the payments are a general obligation revenue water loan of $282,000 and gen-
eral obligation bonds, annual assessments, and interest in the amount of $325,000 for Cooperative Way. Goals for 2015 include highlighted ten completed goals for 2014 and the addition of seven new goals. Several items are ongoing goals, including annual May and October road tours, continuation of street management plans, review of zoning ordinances and needed amendments. New goals include National Incident Management System Training, completion of street improvement projects remaining from 2014, and bridge work on Tuff Lane, a county-mandated project. Also included are the addition of 20 residential equivalent units related to public water utility in south Rushford, the suggested recording of subdivisions without survey (to be determined after cost analysis of surveying/platting costs), future assessment policies, and the development of public access procedures. The council will continue to meet the first and third Tuesday of each month, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, January 20. The public is encouraged to attend.

Bakke expects new people will bring in new ideas. He encouraged more legislative advocacy from the commissioners, for example, on applications for transportation funding and for a private bike trail spur from Eagle Cliff Campground to Whalan. Bakke looks forward to the opening of the Southeastern Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery later this year, adding it should be a source of pride for county residents. Department heads were encouraged to look over bills being paid to make sure money is being spent responsibly.

Fillmore County Sports R-P Rotary Perfect By Paul Trende This year’s Trojans boys basketball schedule is chopped full of big-time (particularly non-con) marquee m a t c h - The Trende Report ups. Over the holidays, #4 R-P took their talents to the Rochester Civic Center for the Rotary Paul Trende Bank Classic. They showed how powerful a Class A team they are. First they downed Class AAAA White Bear Lake. The Bears came in boasting ten players 6’2” or taller (756 total inches). R-P has just four players 6’2” (304 total inches). The green and gold proved; it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, or in this case, the skill levels of the canines battling. R-P fell behind (12-2), trailed at halftime (25-22), but rallied for a 49-47 victory. Charlie Krambeer (16 pts, 5 stls) led
the way. The 6’2” senior guard, known for his long-range prowess, varied his attack (4-6 two’s, 5-5 FT’s, 1-7 three’s). Cole Kingsley (12 pts, 5-7 FT’s, 5 rebs, 3 assists, 3 stls) was his best accomplice. The Trojans won with their defense. They shot just 33% (16-48). They were very solid at the FT-line (12-16, 75%). A night later, R-P faced Rochester-Lourdes (4-1, 6-2 overall). The Eagles took an early 11-6 lead. R-P then went 27-8 the rest of the first half (led 33-19 at intermission). In the second, R-L scored the first five (3324). The Trojans countered with a five possession 12-4 run. Included were two of five threepoint plays. Up 45-28, with a stingy defense, and excellent ball-handling guards; the Trojans cruised comfortably 59-43, winning the four-team ‘Rotary Bracket’. Krambeer had 14 points (3-5 three’s, 4 rebs). Alex Vix had 13 (11 in the first half ). Noah Carlson scored 10 (3-5 FG’s, 4-4 FT’s) all in the second half. The Trojans again were solid at the FT-line (10-14). They forced 16 turnovers and won 29-24 on the boards. Boo-yah! R-P has not lost at the Mayo Civic Center since the 2010-2011 Section final, a string of 11 straight ‘W’s. They are now 9-1 overall, 6-0 in the TRC.
Gopher Gals Annandale Perfect
The best county girls’ team, the 5th-ranked Chatfield Gophers, went north for their holiday tournament. For the second straight year, they won the four-team Annandale gettogether, comfortably downing a couple good Class AA teams. Moose Lake-Willow River (5-2) fell first, 63-38. Chatfield had things in hand at halftime (33-16). Junior guard Megan LaPlante was the only Gopher in double figures (15 pts, 6-9 FG’s). Kirsten Keefe had 9 points, 8 assists (season-high), and 6 steals (tied season high), Brook Irish 8 points and 7 rebounds. Brooke Adler (8 pts, 4 rebs, 4 assists) and Maddie Talamantes (8 pts, 4-6 FG’s) gave Chat five with eight-plus. The Gophers won despite making 2 of 16 three’s. They did notch 23 steals while going 9-13 at the FT line. A game later, versus host Annandale (6-1), the Gophers bucked the poor three-point shooting trend (8-16) while playing what coach Brian Baum called, “maybe one of our best total games (against a very good team on their home floor) in 2-3 years.” Chatfield led by four at halftime, then went nuts to lead by as many as 24 in the second stanza. They scored 42 second half points to win 72-59. Keefe was as cool
as the other side of the pillow, tying a season-high in points with 24 (8-11 FG’s, 4-5 three’s, 4-5 FT’s), adding 7 assists and 5 rebounds. Sydney Gould (14 pts), Talamantes (9 pts), and Maddy Larrabee (8 pts) gave the Gopher ballers balance. Boo-yah! That’s three straight wins (Caledonia) over Class AA teams with a combined 17-3 record by an average of 20-plus points.
Double Doubleheader
On January 3, Kingsland and Chatfield each hosted (successful) varsity doubleheaders. In Spring Valley, the Knight squads swept Hope Lutheran. The boys led just 24-21 at halftime over the Patriots (1-10), but courtesy of an 11-2 midsecond-half run, they took control and prevailed 55-45. They out-machine-gunned Hope, going 22 of 84 from the field. HL was 14 of 49. The Knights were Windex men, holding a 57-32 rebounding edge (26-9 offensive). Jacob Rindels (17 pts, 8 rebs) and Quinn Larson (13 pts, 6 rebs) led the way. Marcus Plaehn (8 pts, 6 rebs) and Brennen O’Connor, a 5’10” guard (4 pts, 10 rebs, 3 assists), helped out. John Fenske’s group evened its record at 6-6 (4-4 in TRC). The young Lady Knights then took the floor. After a quick 3-0 hole, Kingsland went 11-0
and cruised to a running time 63-25 victory. After a modest first half of shooting (10-34), the Knights were exceptional in the second (17-27). Twelve of fourteen girls scored. Kailey Link (16 pts, 7-11 FG’s, 5 rebs) led the way. Kellyn Webster (9 pts, 3-4 three’s), Courtney Schmidt (8 pts), and Alayna Meskill (4 pts, 6 assists, 5 stls) helped out. Jake Vetter’s girls improved to 2-4, 3-6. By the time that ended, Chatfield’s girls were already busy battling Class AAA North Branch. Leading 30-28 to begin the second half, the Goph’s got three’s from four different sources in the first four minutes, a 16-4 run to go ahead 46-32. Chatfield held North Branch to 1-14 FG’s with 7 turnovers the first 12-minutes of the stanza. The Vikings pushed late, but FTperfection (6-6) sealed the deal. Winning on the boards 50-39 (25 offensive) versus a squad with two 6-footers, the Gophers prevailed 64-58. Kirsten Keefe led Chatfield (21 pts, 7-7 FT’s, 7 rebs, 6 assists). Maddy Larrabee (14 pts, 5 rebs) headed a great collective (Brooke Adler, Sydney Gould) bench showing (24 pts, 13 rebs, 5 assists, 4 blks). Maddie Talamantes added 10. The win was the Gophers’ seventh straight. They are 11-1 on the year (6-1 in the See SPORTS Page 13

TRC). The boys then took the court, and played maybe their best game of the season. Junior forward Carter Duxbury hollered, scoring the Gophers first ten points. His old-fashion three-point play put Chatfield up 9-7. They never trailed again. Behind Duxbury’s third double-double of the year (17 pts, 11 rebs), Christian Bance (16 pts), Ethan Woltz (14 pts), and Drew Hurley (7 pts, 7 rebs), the Gophers downed the Vikings 64-46. Chatfield was 25-51 shooting. They held a 43-33 rebounding edge despite being a smaller team. The Gophers improved to 6-8 overall (4-4 in TRC).

athlete of the week
GMLOKS wrestlers were straight butter, rolling their way to seven first place finishes at their own (non-teamscored) tourney. Brenn Olson (120), Josh Graves (132), Parker Hale (152), Chris Bain (#10 at 170 in AA), Sam Roe (182), Wyatt Richardson (#2 at 195 in AA), and Blake Benson (285) all took first. Chatfield wrestling (ranked 8th) took second at the Farmington Duals (losing to the triple-A 10th-ranked hosts). Six Gophers went 4-0. Ian Morrison (285) notched four pins. Nathan Goldsmith (126) grappled out four victories. Hank Friederichs (#1 at 145 in A) and Jacob Bleess (#2 at 220) each had three pins and a forfeit, Jared Goldsmith (#3 at 113, wrestled 120) two and two. Jake Mandt (#5 at 132, wrestled 138) won everywhich-way. Chatfield is 9-5 (losses coming to ranked squads, four in higher classes). FCLMC wrestler Dacoda Johnson (160) was 4-0 (all pins) at the Crestwood duals. Holiday basketball tournaments were unkind. County teams not headed by
Tom Vix and Brian Baum went 3-17. The short-handed Falcon girls, behind Leah Scheevel (double-double) and a B-squad bench (15 points), got a win in Winona over Alden-Conger. Kingsland’s boys fell late to GM, then hammered L-O at the Larks’ Tourney. Nick Niemeyer notched a double-double each game. Houston’s boys, behind Trevor Lundberg’s 19, got a victory at the Cashton Tourney over Independence (WI). FC’s girls got a good inter-sectional win over GM (6-3). The Falcons’ 7-3 start (3-2 TRC) is their best since 2010-2011. Houston’s boys, behind Austin Peplinski (24) and Lundberg (20), beat L-O to move to 6-3, 7-5 on the year. The Houston girls, behind Kelly Jerviss’ third double-double (20 pts, 10 rebs), got in the win column versus G-E. Dustin Kerns notched a double-double (career-high 17 pts, 10 rebs) as M-C rallied from 52-46 deficit (2:15), ending on a 10-0 run, to down G-E. M-C’s girls lost to L-A at the WSU tourney, but Coranda Vickerman, a 5’9” sophomore guard, had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 5 steals, and 5 blocks.

Preston discusses possible meeting schedule changes
Conservation Corps Minnesota Klobuchar renews efforts to lower seeking applicants
By Karen Reisner The regular meeting time for the Preston City Council was discussed at the January 5 meeting. Re-elected Mayor Kurt Reicks and councilmen Charles Sparks and Robert Maust recited the oath of office as they began their new terms. Reicks said they need to work out a schedule so they can have the full council present at meetings as much as possible. Councilman David Harrison has a hardship attending evening meetings from June through October due to his business obligations. Reicks suggested having at least one meeting per month during that five month period at 8 a.m. City Administrator Joe Hoffman explained he had spoken with Harrison about the schedule conflict, expecting something could be worked out. Hoffman said they shouldn’t discriminate against small business owners. Reicks asked council members to think about it, how it could be worked out to be more compatible with all of their schedules. The City Council schedule was approved through May of 2015. Maust voted no. Regular meetings will be on the first and third Monday at 6 p.m. through May with the exceptions of the second meetings in January and February, which will be held on Tuesday at 6 p.m. because of Martin Luther King day and President’s Day respectively. Other Business In Brief •Appointments to city boards and committees were approved.
Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa is accepting applications for 2015 AmeriCorps field crew member positions from individuals, ages 18 to 25, who have an interest in working outdoors. The priority application deadline is Dec. 31, but applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. These positions are for an AmeriCorps service term that runs Feb. 16 – Dec. 11. Corps field projects are completed on public land in cooperation with nonprofit organizations and government agencies, such as the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. These jobs provide technical field experience and professional certifications for future natural resource careers. Many DNR employees got their start
David Collett was elected Mayor pro tem. •Hoffman said city staff recommended no changes to the city fee schedule at this time. The schedule was adopted in 2011. Maust maintained that costs for administration are always going up with step increases or cost of living increases for employees. He felt some of these increased costs should be passed on. Sparks suggested that some changes could be recommended by departments. No changes were made this day. •The Public Utilities step scale was approved as presented. It includes a 3 percent cost of living increase for 2015. •Payment of the annual dues ($110) to the Preston Area Chamber of Commerce was approved.

prescription drug prices for seniors
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar today re-introduced legislation to help lower prescription drug prices for seniors. The bill—the Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act—would empower Medicare to negotiate for the best possible price of prescription medication for America’s seniors who are enrolled in Medicare Part D. Current law only allows for bargaining by pharmaceutical companies and bans Medicare from doing so. The bill would help cut costs for more than 37 million seniors and boost Medicare savings. Klobuchar introduced similar legislation in the previous Congress. “The fact that Medicare can’t negotiate for the best possible price on prescriptions makes absolutely no sense and is a bad deal for our seniors and our taxpayers,” Klobuchar said. “This legislation would allow the government to directly negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare Part D so our seniors can have access to the medicines they need at the lowest possible price.” The Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act would allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to directly negotiate with drug companies for price discounts for the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, eliminating the “non-interference” clause that expressly bans Medicare from negotiating for the best possible prices even though the government can often can often negotiate bigger discounts than insurance companies. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Bernie Sanders (D-VT), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) are cosponsoring the bill.

Only 1 of 500 Mississippi No CWD detected among sampled deer in River samples test positive for southeastern Minnesota No chronic wasting disease ing to symptoms exhibited. management, surveillance and invasive carp (CWD) was detected in hunter- Statewide, the DNR tests about a full version of the DNR’s
Water samples from southeastern Minnesota pools of the Mississippi River that were collected in August and analyzed in December indicate only a small presence of bighead carp eDNA, according to the Department of Natural Resources. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in consultation with the DNR, conducted the environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling and analyzing for invasive carp. A total of 500 samples were tested for both bighead and silver carp DNA in Pool 5a near Winona, Pool 6 in Winona and pools 8 and 9 near the Iowa border. One sample in Pool 8 tested positive for bighead carp, while none of the samples tested positive for silver carp. Results can be viewed on the USFWS web page: www.fws.gov/midwest/ fisheries/eDNA.html. “The lone positive bighead result appears to support historical, physical catch evidence of low numbers of invasive carp in this stretch of the Mississippi River,” said Nick Frohnauer, DNR invasive fish coordinator. “Individual captures of adult bighead and silver carp have occurred since 2008 but none were captured in these pools in 2014.” Environmental DNA is a sur-
veillance tool used to monitor for the genetic presence of an aquatic species. The presence of eDNA does not provide physical proof of the presence of live or dead carp, but indicates the presence of genetic material in the water body. This genetic material may be the result of live carp, or transport of only the genetic material via boats or other means. This is the first time samples were collected in the southeastern Minnesota pools. Given the low population size at this time, the DNR and USFWS sampled these pools to help guide future traditional sampling efforts and establish a baseline to begin a time series that will help detect population changes. The plan is to collect samples at these and potentially other pools farther north each year. “It’s important to remember that eDNA is still a new technology and cannot be used to estimate population size at this time,” Frohnauer said. “But the DNR hopes to use this technology to inform field monitoring efforts.” The USFWS and the DNR will review eDNA results and advancements along with other 2014 monitoring results in planning 2015 sampling.
harvested deer in southeastern Minnesota during the 2014 firearms season, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The discovery of the disease in a wild deer earlier this year in Allamakee County, Iowa, triggered the Minnesota DNR’s surveillance effort. The Iowa county borders Houston County in southeastern Minnesota. During the Minnesota firearms deer season, hunters voluntarily brought deer to be sampled for CWD at eight registration stations throughout deer permit areas 348 and 349. In total, the DNR sampled 411 deer within the two permit areas. “We thank Minnesota’s deer hunters for their cooperation,” said Erik Hildebrand, wildlife health specialist. “By voluntarily allowing us to take samples from their deer, hunters are helping us keep our state’s deer herd healthy.” This latest sampling effort suggests that CWD does not exist in Minnesota’s wild deer herd, or is at a level so low that it has not been detected during many years of surveillance. The DNR does respond to reports of suspect deer across the state and tests them accord-

By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: What are the new graduated driver’s licensing laws for new drivers? Answer: The 2014 Minnesota Legislature passed a new graduated driver licensing law effective January 1, 2015. The new law requires driver education programs to offer a 90 minute class for parents of teens obtaining their instruction permits and provisional driver’s licenses. This class will provide information regarding teen driving risks, teen driving laws and adult influences on teen driver behaviors. The new law also requires that students under the age of 18 submit a supervised driving log to the driver exam staff at the time of the road test for the provisional driver’s license. The log must verify the student completed 50 hours of supervised driving time, 15 of which must be nighttime hours. If a parent/ guardian completes the parent class and submits a certificate of completion to the driver exam staff at the time of the road test, or if it was submitted when applying for an instruction permit, 40 hours of supervised driving time are required, 15 of which must be nighttime hours. The parent awareness class is critical to understanding today’s
Continued from Page 22
Monday, January 12, 2015 teen driving risks, Minnesota’s teen driving laws, and how to help your teen become a safer driver. As a parent, don’t put convenience ahead of safety. Just because teens have their licenses doesn’t mean they’re ready for every driving situation. Parents should continue to supervise their teens driving after they’re licensed. The key to developing safer teen drivers is to provide supervised experience — a lot of “windshield time,” discuss driving responsibilities with your teen, establish clear family driving rules and follow through with consequences when warranted. We encourage parents to practice with their kids well beyond the new minimum requirements of the law to ensure they’re prepared to drive in the many driving and weather conditions they will eventually experience on their own. The extra required driving practice hours and the supervised driving log help teen drivers become more experienced and help parents track progress and areas to improve. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester MN 559015848.

New Year’s resolution: Get an advanced energy audit Looking for a New Year’s resolution you can stick to? Get that advanced home energy audit you’ve been promising yourself and make 2015 the year you start to save energy and cut your utility bill costs. Many people assume there is little they can do to significantly reduce their energy use and increase the efficiency of their homes. In reality, there are many things that residents can do themselves and many other things they can hire others to do. The Minnesota Department of Commerce strongly recommends having an advanced home energy assessment, or home energy audit, before embarking on home energy improvements or remodeling. An assessment of how your house is functioning can help you decide what needs fixing, upgrading, or replacing. It will identify some simple low-cost measures you can take, such as weatherstripping doors or installing high efficiency light bulbs, and it will determine more expensive but cost-effective measures, such as adding insulation to attics or walls and replacing furnaces or water heaters. Energy audits will vary by price and the level of detail and types of tests provided. The most comprehensive energy assessment would include the following:
•A review of energy bills to help assess home performance and identify opportunities for savings. •A blower-door test to determine air leakage. •Infrared scans of walls, attic, and foundation to assess insulation levels and locate sources of air leaks. •Efficiency and safety testing for combustion appliances (furnaces, boilers, gas fireplaces, and water heaters) to ensure they are operating properly and not contributing to indoor air concerns. •A visual inspection for attic, wall, crawlspace, foundation, basement, window, door, and roof problems. Contact your gas or electric utility to arrange an energy assessment. Neighborhood energy groups often partner with utilities to deliver energy audits. For instance, the Neighborhood Energy Connection works with Xcel Energy to perform audits, and the Center for Energy and Environment partners with Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy to provide a service called Home Energy Squad Enhanced. For more information on home energy assessments and energysaving improvements, check out the Minnesota Department of Commerce “Home Envelope” energy guide.

Before that I got my energy (caffeine) from a can of Coke or Pepsi. My mother drank coffee religiously. “Don’t bother me until I’ve had at least one cup of coffee” was her refrain. I tried it as a kid and found it foul, bitter and vile. Coffee drinkers appeared to be a strange adult cult to me. My mother hosted coffee parties for the neighbors, adults took coffee-breaks and some adults couldn’t even eat a cookie or a doughnut without dunking it in coffee. This was way before Starbucks! Then when I started teaching, all the other teachers drank coffee in the lounge and made fun of my can of pop. I decided that in order to appear more mature and sophisticated, I would have to drink this muddy liquid. It took about a week. I drank it with milk. Soon I craved it. I loved the smell of it brewing and how it “perked me up” (pun intended). Coffee made the morning bearable. Finally I understood my mother. Since then I have spent many mornings drinking coffee and watching the birds. I have had stimulating conversations with other coffee drinkers. Coffee has motivated me to correct papers, clean house and make lists. It has made me more efficient. Coffee breaks are wonderful, particularly with sweet treats. I still don’t dunk because I don’t like crumbs in my coffee cup or mug. Coffee cup seems like such a quaint idea today. This is the age of the mug, particularly the travel size insulated mug that doesn’t spill when you are walk-
ing or driving. It is so good that people have two hands: one to hold their coffee mug and one to hold their cell phone. No wonder that shoulder strap bags are so popular and essential. Some people even have coffee mug collections. I do! When not driving or walking, I carefully select a different mug from my kitchen cupboard. I used to have a metal mug stand on my kitchen counter, but I kept grabbing a mug while half asleep and tipping it over. After breaking some mugs, I sold it at a garage sale to a woman who claimed to collect mug stands. Who knew. My coffee mug collection consists of gifts from friends who know me well and others that I have specifically purchased. A friend gave me a mug with a woman with wild red hair surrounded by books. She is referred to on the mug as “Book Woman”. Another mug has an antique typewriter with the phrase “Write your own story”. Still another is from a Shakespeare festival. Do you see a pattern here? I also have some matching mugs with butterflies on them. Another set has flowers with their Latin names. These are from a friend in garden club. These cheer me up during cold Minnesota winters! A mug with a Bible quote gives me comfort when things aren’t going my way. Holiday mugs are plentiful, celebrating St. Pat’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter and Christmas. So many mugs, so much coffee and so little time. One of my favorite pastimes is to look through my many recipe boxes while sipping coffee. It inspires me to get out my regular cooking rut and try something new. This one is a comfort casserole perfect for this time of year.
Chicken and Biscuits Casserole 1 can cream of chicken soup (10-3/4 ounces) undiluted 3/4 cup sour cream, divided 2 cups cubed cooked chicken 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (16 oz.) thawed 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese (4 oz.) 1 can (8 oz.) sliced water chestnuts chopped (optional) 1 cup biscuit-baking mix 3 Tbs. milk In an 8 inch square baking dish, mix soup and 1/2 cup of the sour cream. Stir in the vegetables, chicken, cheese, and water chestnuts. In a bowl, stir the baking mix, milk, and remaining sour cream. Drop by heaping teaspoon into 6 mounds on top of chicken mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the chicken mixture is hot and bubbly. I use healthy request soup and light sour cream and skim milk in this recipe and it still tastes good.
BURNSVILLE, MN – Scammers tried out some new tricks in 2014, but stuck with some old “classics”, as well. Better Business Bureau of Minn. and N.D.® (BBB) looks back on 2014 and offers an informal list of the top ten scams from last year. “You hate to use the word ambition when it comes to scammers, but they are creative and relentless,” said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of BBB of Minn. and N.D. “They are also, often, professionals. It’s important for everyone to know who and what they’re up against.” Though the list of scams reported to BBB and monitored by its staffers was long, these were the top ten scams in terms of their overall reach. 1) Bogus IRS calls – Unknown callers falsely claim an affiliation with the IRS and tell intended victims they owe taxes and must make an immediate payment using a pre-paid debit card or via wire transfer. Scammers threaten those who refuse to pay with arrest or even deportation. However, the IRS contacts people by mail in regard to unpaid taxes. 2) The caller ID Scam – Your phone rings and you see your name and phone number pop up on caller ID. If you answer, a computerized message claims to be able to lower your credit card interest rates. Any action consumers take, such as pressing 1 to ‘opt out’, tells fraudsters that the phone number is ‘good,’ and that number is then added to lists which scammers sell to other scammers. And those promises of lowering your credit card interest rates? Not legiti-
mate. 3) Timeshare scams – Timeshare owners receive calls from individuals claiming to have secured buyers or renters for their timeshares. After receiving official-looking contracts, consumers are eventually informed they have to provide funds upfront to cover transfer fees, title or closing costs and/or taxes in order to close the deals, which aren’t real. 4) Online pet scams – People find websites claiming to offer purebred puppies for free or at very low prices. However, they’re told transfer fees have to be wired to release the puppy or payment has to be made to a third-party shipper. The funds are paid, generally via wire transfer or prepaid debit cards, but the pet never arrives. 5) Mystery shopping offers – People receive mailed solicitations, accompanied by sizable checks, to become mystery shoppers. Though the checks look legitimate, they’re bogus. Consumers should be aware that legitimate mystery shopping firms don’t operate in this manner. 6) Tech support scam – You receive a call out of the blue saying there’s a problem with your computer. A ‘helpful’ expert offers to help you fix it and/ or asks for your credit card information. Don’t play along! Cooperating could give scammers access to your computer and/or sensitive financial information. When there’s a problem with your computer, you call the expert – they don’t call you. 7) Sweepstakes/lottery solicitations – You receive a notice saying you’ve won a huge cash
Thank You
Ok, Gerrie Daley, you had a great birthday party for me on my “special birthday”. You are the Best Friend anyone could have.

prize. All you have to do is pay taxes, insurance or fees and the “prize” will be yours. However, if you have to claim your winnings, you haven’t won anything. 8) Bogus postcard/survey scams – Good news! You’ve been told you’ve won a $100 gift card from a major retailer or will get one for taking a short survey. The bad news? These ‘offers’ are fake and the people behind them just want your credit card number or personal information. 9) Fake subscription renewal notices - Consumers receive subscription renewal notices promising the lowest rates on newspapers or magazines, but discover the notices are sent by a third-party. They also discover renewing directly through the periodical’s publisher costs less. 10) Grant schemes - Usually these grant “notifications” come via the phone, but people may also receive them through mail and email. Individuals who receive them are told they’re either eligible for or have been awarded a government grant, but processing fees must first be paid. However, there are no processing fees for federal grants.

Vacations
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
Monday, January 12, 2015
By Gabrielle Sand Ever since I was a little kid, I would go on family vacations. They weren’t the big huge ones like going to another state for a week vacations, but the ones where you learned something. They would always be short vacations like a day or two, maybe three. I remember going up to zoos, going Gabrielle Sand to S.D., and Wisconsin Dells. I didn’t just learn from these vacations, I brought back memories that would last forever. When I was little, I went to the zoo a bunch of times. I don’t remember a lot of it, but it was always fun to go see the animals you usually don’t see. I was used to seeing dogs, cats, cows, sheep, and birds, the typical animals you see around here. That was all I really saw on a daily basis. When we went up to the zoo, we saw exhibits with special animals. There is usually an African exhibit that includes lions,

He had abolished slavery and strengthened the union. Along the way, we also had visited Devils Tower and learned about the legends that went along with the huge rock. I think bringing kids to small vacations that they can learn something is extremely rewarding, not only for the parent but also the child. The parent is satisfied that the child is having fun and learning at the same time, and the child doesn’t even realize they are learning and making life- long memories. This spring the Mabel-Canton senior class will be going on their class trip starting on April 6 and returning back on April 15. The duration of the trip we will be visiting numerous historical sites including Willis Tower in Chicago, Ill., Mount Vernon, Monticello, Harpers Ferry, and many other places. On this trip we create life-long memories with the people you grew up with. Former seniors have said that we leave as friends and come back as a family. Gabrielle Sand is a student at Mabel-Canton High School. She is one of five area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its sixteenth year.

giraffes, rhinos, zebras, and many others. Sometimes they have a portion of just snakes, and sometimes arachnids, or spiders. Almost all the time we saw a monkey of some sort. Going to the zoo was just a huge learning experience for me because I got to see the animals actually move with my own eyes, instead of looking at pictures of them. My family and I also went to S.D. one summer. We went and visited Mount Rushmore with the four presidents heads carved into the huge rock. The four presidents include Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. All four of those presidents changed the lives of many people. George Washington was the first president of the United States; he took over office in 1789. Also, he was the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He, along with Thomas Jefferson, were both founding fathers of our country. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States. He was also the principal author of the Declaration of the Independence. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. He was an author, historian, and explorer. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was the president at the time during the Civil War that was going on. With the end of the war, he had accomplished many things.

sippi River watershed through the work of regional artists. A watershed is an area from which all water drains into a particular stream, lake or river. The water connects all life in the watershed from the majestic eagle to the plants and animals that may go unnoticed. Each one has an important place in the web of life. Through the artist’s unique perspective visitors can appreciate the many species that share the watershed. The National Eagle Center is a landmark interpretive center on the banks of the Mississippi River in Wabasha, Minn. Offering wild eagle viewing and live eagle programs daily, the National Eagle Center fosters environmental stewardship through education about eagles and the Mississippi River watershed.
