“The difference between my competition’s products and mine is that 99 percent of what they sell is imported, and made of imitation wood,” said Redalen.

A joint meeting between the city council and the Rushford Public Library Board of Trustees took center stage Monday, January 9. Also in attendance, State Librarian and Director Nancy Walton, Southeastern Libraries Cooperating (SELCO) Executive Director Ann Hutton, and SELCO Assistant Director Michael Scott. The gathering was aimed at discussing public library governance and rules and regulations regarding public service.

“I’m here to talk about what statutes say about how libraries are governed,” began Walton.

“Particularly Chapter 134.11, subdivion two. It reads: ‘The library board shall have exclusive control of the expenditure of all money collected for or placed to the credit of the library fund, of interest earned on all money collected for or placed to the credit of the library fund, of the

construction of library buildings, and of the grounds, rooms, and buildings provided for library purposes. All money received for the library shall be paid into the city or county treasury, credited to the library fund, kept separate from other money of the city or county, and paid out only upon approval by the board.

With the approval of the council or board of county commissioners, the library board may purchase grounds and erect a library building thereon.’

“The issue here is a tug and pull. The city has levy authority. The library does not. Funds gathered are put into the Library Fund. They’re responsible for the funds,” she continued. “I think it would be helpful to hear what has happened, chronologically.

I’m hearing different things and I need to understand how the pieces fit together. Bypassing the board is contrary to statutes. It’s the city’s treasury, but it’s allocatSee RUSHFORD Page 8 

C ommentary The influence of a third party candidate

By Karen Reisner Even if a third party candidate has little chance of actually winning, the candidacy itself can change the tone of the race and influence the direction of the next administra tion. In the Karen Reisner presidential race a candidate has to poll with at least 15 percent support from the public in order to participate in the major televised debates.

If there is one thing the two major parties have agreed on and have put into place, it is the rules and requirements that make it very difficult to develop a viable third party.

Americans Elect has developed a process for a nonpartisan online convention to provide an alternative presidential ticket. This non-profit organization has been born out of discontent with the two party system which has become increasingly dysfunctional. This dysfunction is in large part due to the hold the extreme elements of each party has over the whole.

Americans Elect is not without criticism, especially the fact that many of its large donors have remained anonymous. However, big money drives the major parties as well.

The organization will allow voters to select the candidates through a nominating process for this nonpartisan candidate.

Voters get to decide what are the most important issues and get to choose their candidate. The goal is to “choose leadership that puts country before party and America’s interests before special interests.” This is definitely a worthy goal.

The very fact that this organization is in existence and already has nearly 2.5 million signatures demonstrates the discontent of many with the current two-party system and the endless campaigns.

Americans Elect does not promote any particular issue or political philosophy. The effort is to get a “directly nominated ticket on the ballot in 2012.”

The belief is that government can be “more responsive and effective.” Leadership is needed that is willing to work in concert toward real solutions, breaking Washington gridlock by producing more responsive government and truly changing politics as usual. With the current dysfunction in Washington, a responsive government doesn’t look possible, but a real shake up of the system could effect a positive change.

The level of participation in the recent Iowa caucuses is certainly disappointing. Over two million people are eligible to vote

in Iowa. Only 147,255 voted in the caucuses and 122,255 or 5.4 percent voted in the Republican caucuses. The relative influence of this small portion of the population is unsettling. Caucuses tend to be attended by committed people with more extreme ideologies.

Americans Elect’s plan is to nominate a presidential candidate and put a presidential ticket on the ballot across the nation using the Internet. By this April, participating voters are expected to reduce the field to six candidates and have their candidate selected by June.

The website declares “Pick a President not a party.” In an effort to reduce Washington dysfunction and to demonstrate an ability to work together, the candidate for President selected by the process may be a known member of one of the major parties, but the running mate chosen must be a member of a different party.

A third voice in the debates and covered by the media can draw out all the candidates, shape the debate, help keep candidates honest, and bring in innovative ideas. Innovative thinking and not the same old rhetoric would be refreshing, to say the least.

Our local governments, including counties, cities, and school boards, are working hard to provide more effective, efficient government. Innovative

Letter about law enforcement...

To the Editor, On December 19, Lake City Police Officer Shawn Schneider was shot as he responded to a domestic disturbance. Several days later he died, and his funeral was held this past weekend. My heart is saddened by this incident, and my prayers go out to God for

Officer Schneider’s family, fellow officers, and friends.

In a time like this, I am reminded of how much our Fillmore County law enforcement personnel do to help make our County a safer and better place to live. Not only do they risk their lives when they face situations similar to Lake City, but also as they speed to offer assis-

tance to those in need; deal with criminals; and take to the icy roads to help those in accidents.

I am so thankful for Sheriff Jensen and all of the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Department, and pray that God will protect them in their work and guide them as they serve our County.

ideas and collaboration make that possible. Local government can be more successful at doing this because they are not hamstrung with political party loyalties.

Recently, county, city, and school board leaders from across southeast Minnesota met in Rochester at a forum to look at ideas to improve government efficiency and to make local governments work better through collaboration where possible.

Community leaders recognize that streamlining and collaboration will involve experimenting with new approaches. Any effective change takes time to develop and to implement requiring trust and communication between various leaders. These efforts have been repeated across the state.

Powerful party affiliations at the state and national level have dissolved this necessary element of trust and communication.

Any innovative thinking is battered without a fair vetting if it goes against any one party philosophy.

We are a very divided country and neither of the extremes represent even close to a majority of the public. The eventual president will have a set of principles that shapes his direction of leadership, but he must also be aware

that he presides over the interests of the whole, not the few.

If you are dissatisfied with the status quo, check out Americans Elect. It does not effect your ability to participate in the state caucuses. A strong showing of a third party candidate will send a message to the winner. A winner with well under a majority vote cannot realistically declare a mandate for his ideology.

As citizens, we owe it to ourselves to take the time to sift through the debris and get the whole picture by reading, listening, and viewing a variety of information sources to get a truer picture. It is our responsibility to keep better informed and to participate in the election process, not just with voting but with informed voting.

If none of the Republican primary candidates or President Obama look good to you, you owe it to yourself to check out a third possibility.

C ommentary Guest commentary: An open letter to every American

By Jim Hafner, Chatfield, MN For years I have watched the political scene as the Democrats and Republicans blame each other for all our troubles.

It seems the main goal of each party is not to solve A m e r i c a’s problems, but to oppose each other. Jim Hafner When an article on the subject of politics is read, it is very near the beginning where we can determine the party affiliation of the author, from which point on it will be scorned by the opposing party and praised by the corresponding party.

No matter your affiliation, I think the average person will agree we now have a government that is corrupt and broken, and it seems no matter who we elect, it only gets worse. And this corruption and fighting amongst officials is not reserved for the federal government, it has trickled down to the state, county, and local authorities as well. Don’t believe me? Four of the past Illinois governors have now been jailed!

Our broken system is what inspired me to write this article. It is not a composition of answers, but rather, questions.

It is not intended to shape your thinking, but get you thinking.

It does not preach, it simply asks why. These questions have either been asked by me or others who are concerned about the direction our nation is headed. They are in no particular order. Maybe if we all think hard about them, we will finally come upon lasting solutions.

If our government is of the people, by the people, and for the people, why is the average person

so frustrated with it?

When a corporation is in financial striates, it downsizes by removing non-essential personnel and cutting salaries and benefits.

Why doesn’t government?

Will higher taxes solve our economic crisis? Since I was a child I have seen taxes increased literally hundreds of times. Yet our government never has enough money. Are not taxes to date higher than ever in history? Yet is our country not broke and higher in debt than ever before? Why will raising taxes this time be any different than in the past?

Instead of raising taxes on the rich, how about lowering taxes on the middle class and the poor?

Why does our government stand by and do nothing as high energy prices make it difficult for Americans to buy fuel to heat our homes and operate our transportation, while oil companies report record profits? Yet they investigate Microsoft for antitrust issues and force the phone company to break up to prevent a monopoly. Do the oil companies “own” some key government officials?

Why is the average government building much nicer and newer than the average private sector commercial building? And why can you as a taxpayer never get to speak to (or even know the names of) the people responsible?

Shouldn’t they have to defend their actions to the people paying the bill?

What percentage of people on welfare and disability can’t work, and what percentage simply don’t want to work? Shouldn’t the government protect the taxpayer by making us pay for the former, but not the latter?

Who hasn’t heard that criminals who go to prison are paying “their debt to society”? Yet

society (you and me) is forced to pay their room and board, three meals a day (not bread and water), entertainment (big screen TVs, basketball courts, workout equipment, etc.), and full medical benefits. And then, God forbid, anything should happen to them, at which time they hire a lawyer and sue us for more money. Who really is paying the criminal’s “debt”?

Why is it that when someone falls and is injured, if he or she hires a lawyer, the courts find the person who falls is not responsible for their clumsiness? It is the property owners fault for allowing it to happen. What do we need to do, construct our parking lots, sidewalks, and buildings from foam rubber? Is this because so many of our politicians are lawyers?

Why is creation by God not taught in our public schools because it is a theory and cannot be proven, yet evolution, which is a theory and cannot be proven, is taught as fact?

Who would you rather have as your neighbor, your business associate, your doctor, etc.?

Someone who from childhood has been taught that God created them and wishes them to live in peace, and love thy neighbor as thyself, or someone who has been taught they are nothing more than an animal with a slightly higher intelligence than their monkey ancestors? Who do you think would treat you better?

What would be wrong with teaching God in our schools?

Did we or did we not become the greatest and most powerful nation on earth when we were teaching our children about God and praying with them? Has removing God from our school children bettered our nation? Is America as great as it once was?

Do you think our elected official’s number one priority is representing their constituent’s best interests or do they have their own best interests at heart? I personally rarely feel my best interests are represented by federal, state, and local officials.

How about you? And if not, why not?

Why is it I very rarely feel like I can vote for a person who will actually do what is right in office? Do you, like me, go to the polls voting for the lesser of two or more evils instead of someone you really think will do a good job?

We refer to a herd of cows, a flock of geese, or a pride of lions.

Why is a group of baboons called a congress?

Could a corporation survive if it was run like our government?

Is abortion murder? If it is not, would I be able to abort the offspring of an animal on the endangered species list and not be prosecuted? After all, according to the supreme court, I did not kill any animals. I just removed tissue.

Why have I been told all my life that I must pay into social security or I will not be eligible for benefits, yet people who come from other countries can move here without ever paying in a dime and receive said benefits immediately? (This is true. I know of immigrants who are doing this.) Those of us who continue to pay in are told our future benefits must be reduced and our retirement age increased because of a money shortage. Is this fair?

If, as Obama says, we are no longer a Christian nation, why are there so many churches everywhere with crosses out front?

When the government does something unfair to you or someone you know, are you frustrated because there is no procedure available to deal with it that will make any difference? A friend of mine just had his property taxes raised thirty nine point eight percent in one year (that’s 39.8%!).

He made no improvements to the property and its value actually decreased because of the economy. No one at the courthouse we contacted seemed to care.

Is this fair? He can apply for a partial refund, but next year, his taxes will be based on the high increase. What can be done when the government abuses you? Shouldn’t there be some organization you can turn to that can actually do something?

Is this still the free country our forefathers formed, or are we slowly but surely becoming slaves to our government? I do not feel free.

Why should corporations who are regulated by the government be allowed to make political contributions? Is this not a conflict of interest?

If you were to add up all the taxes you pay to all government

Pet of the Week

branches (federal income tax, state income tax, property tax, state sales tax, city sales tax, fuel tax, driver license tax, vehicle license tax, trailer registration tax, ATV, snowmobile, and boat registration tax, hunting license tax, fishing license tax, tax on electric bill, tax on gas bill, tax on your phone bill, environmental service charges on garbage bill, mortgage tax, social security tax, tax on interest, capitol gains tax, cigarette tax, liquor tax, dog license tax, bicycle license tax, estate tax, inheritance tax, gift tax, lodging tax, marriage license tax, parking meter tax, etc., etc.,), what percentage of your labors is siphoned away by all the separate government entities? In other words, how much of what you produce are you forced to give up to the ruling class? And what are you getting in return?

Is a tax on a corporation not just another tax on its customers?

After all, in order to afford the tax, doesn’t a corporation have to raise its prices to consumers?

When the government sued the tobacco companies they made it sound like they were fighting for the people against the evil corporations, but is the result not just another tax on smokers? How much is a pack of cigarettes these days?

I invite every government official to read this article and take a long hard look at the direction we’re headed. If each one truly tries to act on behalf of the people he or she represents, maybe we can turn things around before it is too late.

One final note to all who read this. May the God you worship bestow you with many blessings and I beg of you to pray every day for our leaders. If you don’t believe in God, have a nice day.

If you reject or hate God, remember on your death bed to dress for hot weather.

PET URNS

Continued from Page 1 the quality.

There has definitely been an increase in people cremating their pets. Even with the economy struggling the way it has been, Redalen’s business has not slowed down. If anything, it has grown.

“When people have sick pets, they maybe can’t spend the money on the vet as much as they used to,” said Redalen.

Although he started with just wood urns, people have asked for metal ones as well. Redalen imports many different styles of metal urns for people, and has even started selling cremation jewelry. He sells markers

for gardens, and also offers laser engraving on urns.

In 2010, Pet Urns by Hilltop Woodworking sold 15,000 urns.

In 2011, it was the same. Redalen mails out catalogs to cremation businesses and has customers from all over the country. People call him with special requests. If there is something people want, they call and ask him to make it,

because they like his customer service.

“A small business can cater to the customer,” said Redalen.

“Service is key.”

Redalen is still enjoying what he does, although it gets hard to find time to get away or take a vacation. Eventually he would like for a family member to take over the business. He is

Harmony City Council discusses Dobie Days issues

By Jade Wangen The Harmony City Council meeting almost got out of hand on January 10 as Mayor Steve Donney had to put a stop to an argument among audience members regarding the Dobie Days celebration and the portion of 3rd Ave. SE owned by Corey Scrabeck.

The council chose not to approve the temporary liquor license and the noise ordinance variance at this time, and tabled it until next month. Council member Jim Bakken said he would like to see the committee complete the Large Assembly ordinance before that decision is made.

Donney said he had been approached by several people with concerns that there are things hap-

pening on that land that do not follow the covenants given last year. He said until these issues are addressed, he has a problem approving any licenses.

Scrabeck asked what the problems were and what he was doing wrong. Donney mentioned that the buildings on that land are not residential, and there are not supposed to be fences, loud noises, or large celebrations.

Scrabeck said his lawyer, Jed Hammel, went over the covenants with him. His argument was that since that land is not platted, those regulations do not apply to him.

City Attorney Richard Nethercut disagreed. He said a subdivision includes lots and out lots, and cannot be read to exclude any part

for Sale by bid: The City of Lanesboro will be accepting bids for the purchase of a Smith & Wesson Model 6591 Stainless Steel, 9mm Hand Gun. Copy of the bidder’s valid Minnesota Gun Purchase Permit must accompany the bid. Sealed bids will be accepted until 4:30pm, Tuesday, January 31st. The City reserves the right to reject all bids. Please include name, address and telephone number with the bid price. Bids accepted at the City Office at 202 Parkway Avenue South.

Liquor Business Opportunity in Rushford, MN The City of Rushford Minnesota seeks Request for Proposal (RFP) from a qualified business, organization, or an individual for the operation of a privately owned on and off-sale liquor establishment in the former City Municipal Liquor Store located at 409 S.

of the subdivision.

“That’s not what my lawyer told me,” replied Scrabeck.

Nethercut also stated that the covenants are not something the city deals with; it is up to the property owners.

“In the past we said it was okay as long as we didn’t have a lot of neighbors complaining,” said Donney of Dobie Days. “Now it seems we have a lot of neighbors complaining.”

Scrabeck was upset and said if he wouldn’t have been at the December meeting with his lawyer, the council could have passed a resolution to take his property.

He said, he felt he had to fight every time he tried to do something, and he is only trying to bring people to Harmony.

“We have bent over backwards to help you out,” said council member Jim Bakken. “There are issues that come up and we have to address them.”

Resident Cliff Johanneson said he would like to hear the benefits of having Dobie Days in Harmony. “Aside from the noise, there are people walking up and down the street in various stages of inebriation, throwing beer cans around. If that isn’t a negative than I don’t know what is. It’s not just an annoyance, it’s a public nuisance.”

Another couple that lives near the Dobie Days site became very upset and complained to Scrabeck about Dobie Days, his threatening to sue the city and closing his road. When the argument between them became heated, Donney intervened.

“We have to stop now,” he said.

Wedding

“We aren’t getting anywhere. We just have a difference of agreement.”

Bakken said they are hoping to find a solution to Scrabeck’s closing the road, and he had spoken with Scrabeck about it. He wondered if they needed a written agreement between Scrabeck and the city.

Scrabeck said if the city agreed to not go after that road to make it a city street, he would take down the barriers. He will be placing “Private Drive” signs on both sides of the road, and will allow the public to use it. The city will no longer maintain the street at all; all snow removal and maintenance is up to Scrabeck, and he is not required to do anything. No action was required, and things will go back to the way they were.

Capital Improvement Plan City Administrator Jerome Illg brought up a suggestion to the council that they hire Mike Bubany of David Drown and Associates to help them come up with a Capital Improvement Plan. Illg explained that they could come up with a list of potential future projects and devise a schedule of when they would like to get these things done. The cost to hire Bubany would be $5,000, but Illg said it could pay off in the future.

Donney asked if they could come up with a project schedule without hiring someone to help.

Illg explained that Bubany could help them use a blended approach by getting needed projects done while still keeping the tax rates down. They can see when bond issues come off or TIF districts expire and when there will potentially be money for the projects,

not looking for it to grow, as he has as much business as he can handle right now.

Helping out people who have lost their beloved pet is a good feeling for Redalen. “We are pleased we can provide the service.”

More styles and information can be found at www.urnsbyhtw. com. and measure the tax impact of the projects as well. He added that it’s a working document, not something that is set in stone, just a tool to help the city plan for the future.

Bakken said it could be a good thing to have someone else looking at the finances and projects.

Illg said Bubany could attend the next meeting to give the council more information.

Fire Department Fire Chief Bill Hanlon presented the annual fire department report, summarizing the amount of calls the fire department was called out to during 2011, as well as what types of calls and how many hours the firemen worked.

He also mentioned that members of the rock band Gemini had approached him asking if they could have a reunion show in Harmony this summer. Hanlon said they had a show at the fire hall in 1996, and he thinks it would be a great place to have it again.

The concert would take place on Tuesday, July 3. The Conservation Club, which has been hosting the beer tent during Harmony’s 4th of July celebrations the past two years, said if the concert was approved they would not have a beer tent, as they didn’t feel it would get much business. The council approved the concert.

Other Business The council approved a Commercial Rehab loan for $4,065.75.

The consent agenda was also approved, which included the Administrator’s report, a liquor license for Village Square, a resolution for a gambling permit, and annual council member appointments.

ed to the board and the board is fully out of the loop. I’m trying to be very neutral and get the conversation going.”

Susan Hart, Rushford Public Library Director, presented a summation of the board’s activities over the last decade, including space assessment studies, cooperative efforts with architectural firms, possible relocation sites that were considered, pros and cons of refurbishment of facilities, and why city hall and the library exist in one facility.

Hart also touched on the major expense and inconvenience refurbishment of the existing facility. Detailed studies indicated that the south wall of the building would need substantial work. The building itself, based on square footage needed, would need to expand 60 feet west into Veterans Memorial Park. Any refurbishment, according to the studies, would need the building gutted, adjacent streets dug up and closed, and the library closed for the

duration of work. “We thought, ‘That’s not the building we want.’

It did not portray well.

“At that time, we found the Minnesota Beautification Project. We found a good site, which was an eyesore. There was a jail that was out of place, unsightly overhead wiring, a building that had been for sale for three years, and a building that had been a business incubator. The DEED grant was received, the flood happened. There was some demolition and a building purchased. The last property, Litscher’s Processing, was passed on by the council in December.

“Right now, it’s a waiting game.”

City Administrator Steve Sarvi, speaking for the city, responded, “It’s been my job to try to preserve the resources for as long as possible. After our recent meeting with USDA, we looked at the options and they offered that the funds could be used to fix existing buildings. That put new cards on the table. The funds are still there for a library to retrofit two buildings. The USDA has been very gracious in extending time and terms of the original note. I feel very much in the middle of this, which is fine. My job is to preserve options and we have funds for a myriad of options.”

“But the library board was not a part of this meeting,” responded Walton. “They’re still players at the table.”

“I’m sorry,” added Sarvi.

WANTED: We know that sometimes life deals us a bum rap, situations can occur that we have little or no control over financially.

In today’s ever-changing economic cycle, job challenges arise that may have caused financial hardships or unexpected medical emergencies may have dealt an unfair blow. As much as we try, sometimes it is very difficult to rebound from unexpected or out-of-control finances without help or understanding from some outside source.

We want that opportunity to help.

Re-establishing credit can be as important as buying a car. We have lenders working right now to finalize loans.

Let’s see how this program works: From the start, our customers are under no obligation to enter this program, they can say no at any time. This program is designed to re-establish their credit in as short a period of time as possible.

Other dealerships offer “Buy Here Pay Here” operations. Generally, you buy a vehicle they want to get rid of, and no credit is established since they do not report to the credit bureau (unless payments are not made) and there are no warranties or guarantees. If credit is established, it’s only with them so people are trapped inside their spiral of driving less than desirable vehicles and never improving

“USDA asked for the meeting and we met. There was nothing underhanded.”

“Okay, well, we’re all here at a public meeting,” noted Library Board member Dan Munson.

“If anything else comes up that could impact the library, would we at least be a part of the conversation?”

“You need a two way street to have input,” added Walton. “The building is a joint responsibility.

Sometimes we need to ask, ‘At what point are we gilding an apple that’s decaying?’”

“I’d like to interject something,” chimed in City Attorney Terry Chiglo. “You’re correct about Chapter 134.11, but Chapter 134.15 says the library board may only accept funds for library purposes with the consent of the governing body. The city has the authority. There was nothing wrong, legally, with the city meeting with the USDA.” Walton countered that while the city only has the authority, the board has a right in dispersing it, per the statute.

“Yes, but until it gets to that point,” noted Chiglo, “This group ultimately has the authority. I don’t want the assumption that the council did anything wrong.”

Walton maintained that she was simply trying to encourage more dialogue between the council and the library board.

“This board represents the community. We want to remove the impression that decisions are

their credit situation, which is the primary mission in this venture.

At Zumbrota Ford, we offer all of our customers the opportunity to drive the vehicle that is right for them. We only use lenders that help re-establish your credit on 1998 and newer models, that meet the conditioning and mileage criteria of the lenders. Many of these vehicles have remaining factory warranties and are eligible for an extended service contract.

After paying on this vehicle, credit will be re-established, provided payments have been maintained current on it and all your other credit obligations.

We’d rather have a partnership than tension.”

“We’re just asking for respect,” added Munson. “No surprises.”

After more than 50 minutes of back and forth debate, both parties agreed to continued open communication. For the time being, it is still unclear what the library’s future will hold. Once all options for the two buildings, as well as all funding sources, are on the table, the council will be able to make a clear decision.

New space assessment studies on the Municipal Liquor Store Building and the current Tews Library building are being conducted. The council has approved a preliminary study

by CRW Architecture + Design Group on the buildings, not to exceed $4,000. The presentation to the city, regarding their study, is scheduled for February 13.

In other news, the levee project is moving forward steadily.

Warm weather has allowed work to continue on the trenching

areas. Also a huge plus, consultant Mike Bubany found a Credit Enhancement Program, through the state, which will provide the city an option of using the Minnesota Public Facility Authority’s credit rating, which would allow the city to receive a much more favorable interest rate on the loan for the project.

The city would also like it known that citizens will likely see trucks driving on top of the levee system, bringing rock into needed areas. Despite the Army Corps of Engineers stating that no vehicles should be driven atop the levee, they have approved this instance, as there is no other way to get the rock to the location.

The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, January 23. The council will be meeting at 5:45pm to discuss arbitration proceedings with F&L Development, F&L Management, and Guardian Inn, LLC. The regular meeting will follow at 6:30pm, at city hall.

cacy which helps seniors and adults with disabilities maintain safe and independent living. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program with the aid of 154 active volunteers encourages seniors to stay active and aids non-profit agencies to serve their clients. Volunteers gave back to their communities and provided over 6,000 hours of service.

Forty-one volunteer drivers provided 2,328 rides for residents to medical related appointments. Over 3,600 rides were provided on Semcac’s Fillmore County Bus mostly in the Rushford-Peterson area.

Energy Assistance was provided to 880 households. Eighty-three households received updates in weatherization and energy conservation education in 2011. Twentysix homes received energy related repairs. Housing rehab loans for income qualified homeowners were received by twelve households through Semcac’s Home Rehab Loan Program or the Small Cities Development Program.

The Rush Creek Townhomes added six units for the community in 2011. The project received funding from both state and federal programs.

Forty-two children and their families participated in Head Start.

Semcac’s Family Planning Clinic in Winona provided 48 residents with medical exams, contraceptive counseling and birth control.

Outreach and Emergency Services provides support to people in a crisis, helping to stretch limited incomes.

This support ranges from targeted financial assistance for specific needs like housing, transportation, etc. to donated clothes, blankets, etc. to assistance with monthly budgeting.

Eighteen families received assistance with rent or mortgage payments.

Nearly 500 households visited food shelves in Rushford or Preston.

During 2011 Semcac was awarded the Charities Review Council Meets Standards seal. Three-hundred and fifty-two charities have met all of these standards. Commissioner Chuck Amunrud noted that the accreditation really helps when seeking grants.

Chairman Tom Kaase, on a personal note, related how important these programs are. He referred to the Senior Nutrition program that was utilized by his mother-in-law.

Stenberg said they have a dietician on staff and that in addition to the nutritious meal, the social aspect is huge.

Christmas Eve 2012 Commissioner Marc Prestby asked that the January 3, 2012, minutes be pulled before approval due to what he considered an inadequate description of the discussion related to closing the courthouse at 2 p.m. on December 24, which is a Monday in 2012. The board adopted a resolution to close the Fillmore County offices at 2:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve at their January 3 meeting. Prestby voted no.

Prestby noted that a previous county attorney believed state statutes do not allow the courthouse to be closed early that day. Prestby argued that the offices should stay open to provide services to the public.

Prestby insisted that no one has ever proven that the county offices can be closed early. Commissioner Duane Bakke believes the statute (373.052 County Offices; closing, effect) states the county board can set hours to be open on that day as long as it is done ahead of time at the annual meeting, which was January 3. Kaase commented that the minutes were an accurate description of what was said.

Current county attorney Brett Corson differs in his opinion of the state statute, and doesn’t find a conflict with the statute and the board’s decision to close county offices at 2:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Bakke doesn’t believe there has been or is any violation of the statute.

The board approved adding a statement to the January 3 minutes

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

that states there was discussion about a previous county attorney’s opinion that the statute may not allow the courthouse to be closed that day.

Other Business In Brief •Bakke reported on a meeting of the Southeast Minnesota Water Resources Board where there was a long discussion on sand mining.

Three state agencies including the DNR, the Department of Health, and the Pollution Control Agency lead the discussion. He noted silica sand is quartz, which is the most abundant mineral in the world. St. Peter and Jordan sandstone are about 90 percent silica sand.

The DNR reported that water use is a big issue. This part of the state is rich with ground water. Drinking water is the first priority, and water use for washing sand would rank fifth or sixth. Water concerns would be different depending on the location. In some areas it could impair shallow wells because of a funnel effect caused by a large well. There are eleven washing facilities for sand permitted in southeast Minnesota.

DNR hydrologist Jeff Green called mining an essential activity. The effect on air quality is another issue being looked into.

Bakke thought the meeting was informative. He said they need to obtain more information that has been gathered, especially in Goodhue County, and continue to work on it. The transportation issue was not discussed, referring to the damage the heavy truck traffic would have on county and township roads.

Some of you may remember my article on liver and beef. Many of you told me how much you enjoyed my article but not the liver!! Just didn’t find too many liver eaters out there!

How about cow tongue? I remember my dad getting a big cow tongue and pickling it. He kept it in a glass gallon

jar on the floor next to the back door where it was cool. At night he would plop that jar on the table, pull out that big ole tongue and saw off a big piece of tongue and then proceed to eat it with soda crackers. He said it tasted like and also had the texture of Spam. I didn’t believe him!

He would always offer us kids a piece but we never accepted! It looked too gross to eat!

Dad always got a kidney too. He would cook it on top of the stove till all the “pee” was cooked out of it.

He would slice it too and eat it with soda crackers. I never bothered to try that either!! I also remember a part of the cow that they called “oxtail.”

Never could figure out how a part of a cow was called oxtail. But I was told that oxtail was the best soup bone ever! There couldn’t be any part of the cow left to throw away!!

Mom fixed a lot of pork – think it was cheap meat back in the ‘60s.

We had fried pork steak with milk gravy or pork roast and mashed potatoes or side pork that was fried

•A resolution was approved to spend $6,993.70 matching funds for a 2007 PSIC Grant for the purchase of ARMER radios. The total of the grant is $27,974.80. The total to be spent on the radios will be $34,968.50.

•A two-year contract with the Department of Corrections for Sentence to Serve (STS) was approved.

Sheriff Daryl Jensen noted the cost for the last three years has been borne by the county. The program was able to be saved due to the relationship developed with the DNR, which has subsidized the program through its contracts.

Another revenue source is the State of Minnesota ICWC program.

If three inmates per year are brought to the county through the program, three quarters of the $154,224 needed to pay for the program can be paid with this revenue. The state screens inmates to participate, only selecting non violent, trouble free, motivated inmates near the end of their sentence.

Bakke said he supports the program, but feels cities or others that benefit from STS work should provide some monetary compensation.

Jensen said he would have a conversation about reimbursement of some kind.

•An extension of the consultant agreement with former Community Services Administrator Tom Boyd was approved. The agreement will be extended to March 31. The agreement had been from September through December 2011. hard and crisp! That was one of dad’s favorites. Another item that we ate a lot of and never knew what it really was – pork cutlets. I found out many years later that cutlet was just a fancy name for the male part of the pig!

Haven’t eaten a cutlet since!! Guess if you don’t know what you are eating it tastes just fine!

We also ate rabbit and squirrel.

Mom really knew how to fry both of them so that we didn’t know what we were, once again, eating! Chicken was another inexpensive meat. Mom always fried it cause that was how dad liked it. Dad told us about a friend of his who liked every part of the chicken – even the feet!! He would cook the feet and then proceed to suck them dry!! Can’t imagine what fun that was!! I know chicken gizzards and livers are considered top notch. I use to work in a restaurant where they were considered the “expensive” appetizers. With leftover pieces of chicken mom would make chicken and dumplings. She would make great big balls and then drop them into the chicken broth to cook.

Dumplings weren’t one of my favorites either! Everyone else in the family loved them – especially with butter smeared all over them!

Here’s a new way to use ramen noodles.

Ham ‘n Noodle Toss

2 cups broccoli florets 1 ¾ cups water 1 ¼ cups cubed fully cooked ham 1 T. soy sauce 2 (3 oz.) packages any flavor ramen noodles In a large saucepan combine the broccoli, water, ham, soy sauce and one (1) flavoring packet from the ramen noodles (discard the 2nd packet or save for a later date). Break the noodles into small pieces; add to the pan.

Simmer, uncovered for 6-10 minutes or until the noodles are tender – stirring frequently. Can top with sliced ripe olives if desired.

Chatfield Mayor defines priorities to work on long-term planning and to continue to move ahead with the challenges associated with funding and finance. He said they have to face what is happening to Local Government Aid when planning the city’s budget.

By Karen Reisner Chatfield Mayor Don Hainlen briefly commented on the past year and the year to come at the Chatfield City Council’s first meeting of the new year on January 9. Councilors Josh Thompson and Ken Jacobson were absent.

Hainlen noted the city has made good progress with one priority this last year with the work to camera the city’s sewer lines to check their condition and plan for future maintenance.

A second priority for Hainlen is to go paperless. He didn’t feel there has been a lot of progress toward this end, calling it the way to go. Hainlen said going paperless is a long-term goal as it is an effective way to communicate.

His third priority is to continue
