Grocery stores go green, save green By Jason Sethre jsethre@fillmorecountyjournal.com

On January 15, 2013, a crowd gathered back by the frozen foods section of the Rushford Foods grocery store. Representatives from Congressman Tim Walz’ office, Senator Amy Klobuchar’s office, and Senator Al Franken’s office, mingled with Mayor Chris Hallum, City Administrator Steve Sarvi, and Tri-County Electric Cooperative management. In addition, representatives, Adam Czech and Colleen Landkamer, from the USDA Rural Development office were in attendance to make an award presentation. This wasn’t a typical day in the frozen food sec-

tion of the grocery store. Hosting the crowd were grocery store owners Jim Hoiness and Brad Hoiness, along with Rushford Foods Frozen/ Dairy Department Manager Sonia McNally. Since the 2007 flood that devastated the Rushford community, every business has been gone through a process of recovery and rebuilding. One of the staples of any community is a grocery store. If you have one in your town, you’re lucky. Thus, when Rushford Foods was closed in 2007 as a result of floodwaters rising as high as four feet wall-to-wall in the store, the community was left with a void. Fortunately, Rushford’s hometown

grocery store was eventually able to re-open their doors 74 days later. Small town grocery stores seem to be a rarity these days. Since 2008, in Fillmore County grocery stores have closed in Lanesboro, Mabel and Wykoff. That’s why reinvestment in any small town grocery stores should be recognized as a big deal. It’s not just an investment in a store, but a community. Since the days of the 2007 flood, Rushford Foods, Harmony Foods and Preston Foods have all seen investments inside and out. Most notably in the past six months, all three stores owned by Jim Hoiness and his son Brad See GREEN Page 10 

The Fillmore County Board, after several months of advertising and interviewing possible candidates, hired the new county engineer, Ronald Gregg. He came on in mid October and worked with the thenretiring John Ronald Gregg Gr i n d e l a n d for a month before he took the reins as acting county engineer on November 19, 2012. Starting on December 31, he has been appointed to a four-year term as Fillmore County Highway Engineer. Gregg earned his engineering degree at South Dakota State, Brookings, S.D. Referring to himself as a city boy that has moved to the country, he was

raised in Burnsville, Minnesota. He worked first as Lincoln County’s engineer for about twelve years, and then as Cottonwood County’s engineer for eight years. Gregg remarked he has gone from flat land or prairie to bluff country. He recognizes the biggest challenge that comes with this county’s topography is the large number of bridges. There are 475 here compared with 220 In Cottonwood County. Gregg and Leann, his wife of sixteen years, are house hunting in Spring Valley to find the right home so they can “plant themselves here.” He hopes to finish out his career in Fillmore County. They have two sons, Andrew (15) and Matthew (13). The boys are active in Boys Scouts. Andrew is working on his Eagle project.

It was mostly routine business at the Spring Valley City Council meeting Monday night. There were the usual approval of new year items. The city had recently asked for bids on materials to build a bridge for the trails over the creek by the ambulance building. The city asked for such things as 27 pieces of I Beam and several smaller pieces of I

To put it all together so it performs in a safe manner it was to be assembled and put in place. The total cost of the project was to be $31,310. The person submitting the bill was Ron Merkel of Spring Valley. “We don’t have that much money in the trail budget,” said Deb Zimmer, City Administrator.

C ommentary Lost in Spades By Eric Leitzen It’s probably been long enough that most of you have managed to betray the promises made at the year’s beginning: exercise equipment has started collecting dust, you’ve sheepishly hit the drivethru again, Eric Leitzen maybe that pack of smokes was just too tempting. Allow me, instead, to give you a new idea for your 2013. It’s easier than an exercise regimen, less tempting than the odd cheeseburger or creepy/delicious processed rib sandwich, and nowhere near as dangerous as smoking. The only problem is that it involves being nice to twentysomethings. I know, I know… I can see you roll your eyes even as I say this. Twentysomethings have become like holey old socks in the past six years or so, laying about the house and often having no visible purpose. Layabouts, nogoodniks, wanting something for nothing and spending too much time occupying parks or trying to get things legalized to go out and get a respectable job. I’ll be the first one to stand up and admonish my generation for its faults (and I have several times in the past for those that know me) but as the new year dawns and we pull ourselves out of Mayan hysteria, I’m looking to start over with some fresh perspective. We’re looking at a generation adrift, the likes of which have not been seen since the days after the Great War almost one hundred years ago, and youth Editorial Cartoon

unemployment is at its highest since World War II. All of the promises of jobs and careers were swept away in the recession, leaving twentysomethings to scramble for minimum-wage jobs or temporary work just to make sure they can pay back their tens of thousands in college debt. The birth rates are dropping as increasingly more young people put off the joys of family because, financially, it is an impossibility, and every penny is necessary for survival. The American Dream of our parents and grandparents is now truly that: ephemeral and out of touch. Two of the biggest hit songs of the past year were titled “Die Young” and “Live While We’re Young,” respectively. This generation, “Millenials,” as they are beginning to be called, are becoming more fatalistic and less enchanted with a world that once held such opportunity for them. The phrase “Lost Generation” is getting bandied about more and more, which is shocking considering the plush 1990s in which we grew up. As one who went through this period and saw it first-hand, I can say to you unequivocally that we were promised the moon and stars as far as careers, education, and prosperity were concerned. On top of that, we were one of the first generations raised with the maxims of everyone being special and the old joke of “everyone gets a trophy.” When you contrast that with the harshest of realities we have endured since late 2007, it creates a recipe for disaster. To that end, I feel I must call attention to something, and I am not pleased to do so. Over

the past year, there have been several billboard incidences of violent outbursts and maniacal acts of what can only be described as domestic terrorism from Colorado to Connecticut. Nearly every single one, particularly those that have been the most ghoulishly popular, have been perpetrated by twentysomething males. One can only guess at their motives, or their mental abilities at the time of the incident, but that one common thread seems to link them together. Something is not good here, and without intervention things will only continue to get worse. This has been the rudest of awakenings to a generation that has never really been confronted before, and often lacks the skills to cope with failure. So, in this new year, I’m asking one little concession to my generation of Millenials from you. If you see us, maybe at work where we mop the floors, maybe at home because we were forced to move back in, maybe on the street where we have what Shakespeare described as a “lean and hungry look,” take a moment to genuinely ask how we are. Make it feel like someone cares. You don’t have to praise us disproportionately, or give us anything of monetary value, or otherwise help us along. Just a simple and real question of “how are things?” can go a long way in stemming the tide of anger and frustration that is boiling beneath the surface of this generation. Just to soothe the wounded soul of the Millenials, that compassion may be the saving grace that ensures this generation won’t be completely lost. It’s a little thing, and it’s easy to do, so why not make 2013 the year we start watching out for each other?

C ommentary Is there a God? By Pastor Mike Hopper “Is there a God?” In the January 14, 2013 issue of the Fillmore County Journal, Publisher Jason Sethre asked a good question. As a teen, I too asked that question, and since that time have come to the solid conclusion: “Yes!” Here are some signifi- Pastor Mike Hopper cant factors that have influenced me. (1) Lack of transitional fossils. “Intermediate links? Geology does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory [of evolution].” (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species p. 323) If Darwin were alive

today he would see that the fossil record still fails to offer convincing evidence of transitional forms to support his theory of evolution from one kind of animal into another (macro-evolution). “The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages ... has been a persistent and nagging problem for ... evolution” Stephen Gould, Marxist Professor at Harvard, Evolution Now. (http://creation-vs-evolution.co.uk/Transitional_fossils. html) (2) Lack of reasonable transitional forms. Darwin stated: “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly been formed by numerous, successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” Many animals today could not have developed gradually in that intermediate forms would be non-functional or even fatal.

“The woodpecker is a marvel of interdependent parts or ‘compound traits’-traits that depend on one another for any to have functional value. When a woodpecker slams its head into a tree, the deceleration experienced is many times gravity. The nerve and muscle coordination must produce a dead on hit; a slip to one side or the other could virtually wrench the cover off the brain! For such drilling, a woodpecker obviously needs a tough bill, heavy duty skull, and shock absorbing tissue between the two. But if the woodpecker were put together by time and chance, without any planning ahead, which part came first?..” “To reach the beetles, the woodpecker needs more than just drilling tools; it needs a long, sticky tongue. But if a bird gets a long, sticky tongue just by chance, what’s it going to do with it? The answer for the woodpecker is to slip its tongue into a muscular sheath that wraps around the skull under the scalp and inserts into

POET producing corn oil at 25 biorefineries Twenty-five of POET’s network of 27 biorefineries have now installed its patent-pending corn oil technology, bringing its total capacity to approximately 250,000 tons per year, enough feedstock to produce 68 million gallons of biodiesel annually. POET has been selling Voilà™ corn oil into biodiesel and feed markets since January 2011, when POET Biorefining – Hudson (S.D.) first began to produce it on a commercial scale. Strong demand for the product prompted upgrades at the majority of the plants in the POET network. “Having a more diverse portfolio of products has been a benefit for POET, particularly

Corn oil is playing an important role in reaching that goal. “There’s a bio-based solution to so much of what petroleum supplies today,” Lautt said. “It’s exciting for me to see POET playing a large part in providing those solutions.” Voilà is just one item on POET’s growing list of products created at its plants. In addition to ethanol, POET produces quality products for animal feed including Dakota Gold distillers dried grains. POET also captures carbon dioxide at five of its plants for sale to beverage producers and other users. About POET: POET, one of the world’s largest ethanol producers, is a leader in biorefining through its efficient, vertically integrated approach to production. The 25-year-old company has a production capacity in excess of 1.6 billion gallons of ethanol and 9 billion pounds of high-protein animal feed annually from its network of 27 production facilities.

the right nostril! That makes good sense (and good science) if you’re planning ahead, but poses real problems if your faith is in time and chance, trial and error. (From “Adaptation and Ecology: the marvelous fit of organisms to their environment” by Dr. Gary Parker) (3) Strong dissent by reputable scientists. During recent decades, new scientific evidence from many scientific disciplines have caused scientists to begin questioning Darwinism’s central tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater detail. Over 800 doctoral scientists from around the world have signed a statement publicly expressing their skepticism about the contemporary theory of Darwinian evolution. The statement, located online at www.dissentfromdarwin. org, reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination

of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.” Lee Strobel, a graduate of Yale and former reporter for the Chicago Tribune, was skeptical about Christianity. “My road to atheism was paved by science . . . But, ironically, so was my later journey to God.” Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant---or so Strobel thought. “But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason.” (Zondervan, Apr 1, 2004) In “The Case for a Creator,” Strobel presents a convincing scientific case for God’s existence. There must be a Designer. (Nehemiah 9:6) Random chance evolution cannot explain the complexity of life that is seen in the world today.

Hoiness, have gone through an upgrade process that will save money and be kinder to the environment. For small town grocery stores to survive and thrive, they need to look at all expenses involved in streamlining the operations. While the payroll of 106 employees working at Harmony Foods, Preston Foods and Rushford Foods is the number one expense of the three grocery stores, electricity is second right behind payroll. So, any energy expenses that can be minimized will help keep the stores operating more efficiently, short and long-term. Searching for ways to save on energy costs, the Hoiness’ called upon Brad Pecinovsky, Director of Member Services for Tri-County Electric Cooperative, to assess possible Kilowatt hour savings at each store with an upgrade in refrigeration doors. Pecinovsky’s assessment showed estimates of annual

savings at each story, respectively: Rushford 39,558 kWh, Harmony 5,367 kWh, and Preston 40,757 kWh. As Brad Hoiness was evaluating products that could help the stores save on energy costs, a fellow IGA retailer who had installed doors to save on his electric bill lead Brad to REMIS America. Paul Kelly, a representative from REMIS America based out of Elkhard, Ind., was also present at the January 15, 2013, recognition ceremony in the frozen foods section of the Rushford Foods grocery store, and he was happy to share that many grocery store owners have indicated that the REMIS America retrofit refrigeration doors “keep the store warmer and the food colder.” Complimenting REMIS America for their help with installation of the retro-fit doors in their stores, Brad Hoiness indicated that the same refrigeration doors installed in Harmony Foods, Preston Foods and Rushford Foods are widely used all throughout Europe.

Journal Writing Project Celebrating music making By Kristina Mengis Music brings people together. Whether it’s coming together as fans of the same genre or actually coming together to make music, it is able to accomplish wonderful things. Like someone once said, “Music does bring peo- Kristina Mengis ple together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.” I spent this past weekend at Luther

College in Decorah, Iowa, at their Dorian Vocal Festival. I have always had a passion for music, but I still didn’t really know what to expect when arriving at Luther on Saturday afternoon. I’ll admit I was nervous, and I really wasn’t sure I should be there. This year was the 63rd annual festival. Twelve-hundred high school students attended this year’s festival. The students came from all across Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and South Dakota. To some people, the thought of that many high school students in one room would maybe be frightening. These aren’t just any students, though. They all had one goal:

indicated that savings like this are a good thing. Jim Hoiness shared with the attending group that “We’re losing stores in the area pretty fast, and creating efficiencies like this help to reduce the utility expenses of grocery stores.” Hoiness’ have already estimated they will see a 9.5 percent monthly reduction in electric usage. In a speech to the group, Jim Hoiness summarized all the positives relating to this transition: 1) fresher products, 2) reduced energy costs, 3) compressors are running less, which extends their life, and 4) the food stays colder while the Young shopper Cayden Lea customers stay warmer. fills his cart during the presen- Along with installing the REMIS America door system, all cases were tation at Rushford Foods.

Lastly, the existing Jim Hoiness and Brad Hoiness, open dairy cases were replaced with Rushford City Administrator Steve the produce cases. Sarvi said, “We applaud your Brad Hoiness added that the efforts.” While increase electricity energy savings are significant with usage is good for revenues for TEC the cost of operating an open case and the City of Rushford, Sarvi running around $4,000 per year,

and the cost of operating a closed case at around $900 per year. In an illustration handed out to the crowd by Brad, based on 2010 U.S. Energy Administration information the average home uses 958 Kilowatt hours of energy per month. So, with Rushford Foods seeing a three month reduction of 17,280 Kilowatts hours, the three month reduction would power 18 average sized homes for one month. As the presentation was coming to a close, Colleen Landkamer, USDA Rural Development State Director, complimented the Hoiness’ for making this investment, saying “These are great things that are happening, but it takes leadership.” Rush Foods, Inc., owned by the Hoiness family, used an $8,827 Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant to help purchase and install doors on its freezers and coolers at its Harmony, Preston and Rushford locations. The REAP grants may cover up to 25 percent of a project’s cost, and the remainder of the cost was covered by Rush Foods, Inc.

with the people around you. On Sunday, the rest of the members of the Festival Choir arrived for rehearsals. The day ended with a concert for the students and a dance. Many students also had auditions in hopes of being chosen to perform a solo during the grand concert or to receive a scholarship. Monday’s rehearsals were to fix the last few spots that needed work. On Monday night there was a grand concert for the students’ families and the public. It took place in Luther’s Center for Faith and Life auditorium. The students filled the seats and folding chairs that covered the floor of the auditorium, while the guests sat in the balcony. Before the concert was about to begin, the students decided to have some fun while waiting for the Nordic Choir to begin. They guys decided to start a wave and eventually the whole

choir joined in. They proceeded to start singing “We Will Rock You” and everyone clapped and stomped their feet. We also had a chorus of the SpongeBob Squarepants theme song and many other fun little songs. A couple of guys actually got up in front and led everyone in actions that mimicked being on a rollercoaster. I think the audience was entertained by the fun we were having. The concert began with a performance by Luther’s Nordic Choir under the direction of Dr. Allen Hightower. Five students were chosen to perform solos that they had already prepared with their directors. Next, the Chamber Choir performed their three songs. These songs included “The Boy Who Picked Up His Feet to Fly” by Joshua Shank, “The Water is Wide” arranged by Darmon Meador, and “Cert’nly Lawd” arranged by Moses Hogan. The Festival Choir ended the concert with five songs. They began with “Oh, Praise the Lord from the Heavens” by Pavel Chesnokov. The girls sang an Italian Opera piece called “O, Pastorelle, Addio” by Umberto Giordano and arranged by Emile H. Serposs. Next, the guys performed “The Pasture” by Z. Randall Stroope. The entire choir finished with “In Remembrance” by Jeffrey Ames and “Upon This Rock” by John Ness Beck. The ending of “Upon This Rock” included a section for the audience to join with the choir in singing. The Chamber Choir and Festival Choir were both conducted by Dr. Hightower, Dr. Sandra Peter, and Andrew Last. All accompaniment was done by Dr. Jessica Paul. There were a total of ten students who participated in the festival from my school. I know many of them were also wary about what the festival would be like. By the end of the day, I know we all were glad to have made new friends and happy to have had such a great experience. Not only did we spend our weekend singing, we also had a lot of fun. There is something about making music with a large group that makes it different from normal choir experiences. It is a good feeling to come together and make beautiful music. Kristina Mengis is a senior at MabelCanton High School. She is one of 8 area students participating in the Journal Writing Project, now in its fourteenth year.

to make beautiful music. Although some appeared to be there more for the opportunity to explore the campus and meet new people, the end result proved that they were all joined in a common interest for music. The festival began on Saturday with the arrival of the students in the Chamber Choir. The Chamber choir was composed of 100 students who were specially selected from the Festival Choir to perform three separate songs. Many of these students had previously participated in honor choirs or had been selected to perform in their state’s All-State choir. These students spent Saturday practicing and also got the opportunity to listen to Luther’s Nordic Choir. I was very fortunate and honored to be selected for the Chamber Choir, along with my friend Morgan. After spending eight hours rehearsing together, it’s hard not to feel connected

re monotes from a country kitchen by Vicki Christianson

My desk at the bank sits right next to the big glass windows. I can see who walks by and they can see me - some even wave! In the mornings I can see car after car of high school kids on their way to school. No one ever drove to school in my day. Some of the older boys had old souped-up hot rods and they drove them whenever they ran, but the rest of us just rode the bus. The high school was in Mabel so all the Canton kids rode the bus to school. If you had to stay after school for some reason there was a “late” bus that took you back to Canton around 5:00 p.m. Then if you were a boy and out for sports there was another late bus that left around 6:30 p.m. (No girl sports back then). Even on football and basketball

game nights the bus would run from Canton to Mabel so we could attend all the home games. If the games were away, there was always a fan bus that took everyone from both towns to the games. Most of the kids didn’t have their own cars - had to rely on the “family” car if you really needed to go somewhere. And those family cars were big ole boats! Big Buicks, 4-door Chevys, and a few station wagons. Any one of them could easily hold 6-8 passengers. Sometimes on Saturday night one of us girls would get to use the “family” car and we would pick up about five other girls and head to Mabel. That was where all the action was! Cruising the main drag and eating at the Red Barn right on

main street (I think that it was called that???). It had a great Juke box and pool tables and was always packed with kids. I remember taking Driver Education class from Mr. Zimmer. He taught that for many, many years! During the winter months when Mr. Zimmer taught Sophomore/Junior history he would take six weeks out of the normal class schedule and teach classroom driver’s training to all that were there. Once the book learning part was done and we went and got our permits, he would take whoever was the closest to turning 16 and teach “behind the wheel” class. Couldn’t wait for that day!! Usually there were three kids at a time who took the behind the wheel training. We would drive from Mabel to Spring Grove or Mabel to Canton. Our big final test was driving all the way to Decorah! We did a lot of practicing by driving on country roads as that was where most of us lived (actually the gravel roads are where most people went “parking” or those roads led to the

Making a difference in Harmony and its surrounding area The Harmony Area Community Foundation (HACF) was recently established by local citizens to enhance and sustain the quality of life for residents of the greater Harmony area. HACF is organized as a fund underneath the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. HACF supports projects that build a stronger community by responding to the surrounding area’s existing and emerging needs. Donations to HACF are tax deductible. The Harmony Area Community Foundation’s focus areas are parks and trails, Fillmore Central

Schools, public library, arts and history, health and the environment and general community support, and growth. The foundation is a vehicle for donors to make charitable contributions— cash, commodities, securities, life insurance, bequests, real and/or personal property—for the benefit of our greater community. Recently, HACF was able to leverage its funds with a matching grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation to donate $10,000 to the Harmony Park Board for the new equipment at Selvig Park. Additional contributions for this special project are being received.

Donations for the Founders Club will be accepted as pledges for as little as $100 per year for 10 years. These donations will be leveraged with other foundation dollars to ensure HACF has the future funds necessary to invest in the community. Anyone interested in getting involved or making an investment in the Harmony Area Community Foundation should contact any of the board members: Vicky Tribon, Board Chair (886-1970), Tim Samuelson, Treasurer, Eileen Schansberg, Secretary, Vanessa Aggen, Tina Peters, Umbelina Cremer, Jessica Powell, Steve Donney, and Paula Michel.

Since there was a lot of dairy farmers at that time, milk trucks were a very common sight on those gravel roads. Every time we came to a knoll or hill Mr. Zimmer insisted we say “milk truck milk truck” and we had to hug the right side of the road. It was to remind us that at any given time there could be a big ole milk truck coming up the other side of that

To this day every time I come over a hill I get a little closer to the right side and still think to myself “milk truck milk truck.” You have to admit that saying that phrase over and over definitely sticks in your head!

Fillmore County Sports Basketball Blitzkrieg

athlete of the week

By Paul Trende Coug’s Down Short-handed Falcons A hectic week of county basketball action began on Monday, where the Fillmore Central girls hosted Mabel-Canton. It’s no secret the Falcons are a bit short handed. The last thing they needed was injuries, ailments, or foul trouble. They got all three. Two key players (starting F Sammi Bakke and reserve G Larissa Armstrong) were in street clothes. Leah Scheevel (another starting F) played sparingly per fouls. The Cougars took advantage. The 1st half was tight (M-C up 20-19), but the Cougs began the 2nd half on a 13-2 run. They turned 12 O-rebounds into 13 second chance points. FC, utilizing a pair of 8th graders, was overwhelmed. M-C got the win 50-38. Cougar senior F Christy Welscher had 14 points (6 of 9 shooting), 14 rebounds, and 6 steals. After sitting for much of the 1st half (2 pts, 0 rebs) per foul trouble, junior G Lydia Geving finished strong (13 pts on 6 of 8 shooting, 7 rebs, and 4 assists). The backcourt of Jordan O’Connor (14 pts, 5 rebs) and Morgan Malley (10 pts, 4 rebs, 4 assists) led FC. Burro Battlers The same night in Houston, the Hurricanes and Lanesboro girls did battle. The first half was back and forth. Houston led 32-27 at the intermission. The ‘Canes kept their lead early in the 2nd half. Then Lanesboro took control. The Burros built a 58-51 only for Houston to go on a 14-4 run to take a 66-62 (less than 0:30 to go). Johanna Bearson then made a pair of FTs. An Alisa Warnes bucket sent the game to overtime. There, Houston outscored Lanesboro 16-8 for the 82-74 win. Abbey Loken (28

pts, 15 rebs) and Vanessa Lee (16 pts, 7 assists) were huge for the home squad. Anna Sweet (14 pts) and Kelly Jerviss (13 pts, 12 rebs) helped out. Lanesboro’s seniors led the way, Bearson (22 pts, 4-7 from deep), Warnes (14 pts, 8 rebs) and Kaia Hongerholt (10 pts, 6 rebs, 6 assists). The teams scored 97 points after intermission. On Tuesday in Spring Grove, the Lions and Lanesboro boys hooked up in a battle of SEC (6-0) unbeatens. Lanes held three brief leads (early). They stayed very close throughout. Late in the 2nd half, the Lions built a 60-50 lead before the Burros got to within two (64-62). They had the ball down three (65-62) in the waning seconds, but then a turnover. Spring Grove’s Josh Olerud, who had a career game (27 pts, 11 rebs), sank a couple FT’s to cinch it. The final was 67-62. Luke Rogers (26 pts, 7-9 FT’s, 7 rebs), Erik Peterson (15), and Kole Ruud (12) did the damage for the Burros. Each team attacked from three (Lanes 7-28, SG 8-25). The Lions held edges on the boards (38-26) and at the line (17 of 28 to 9 of 14). Trojans Sweep Falcons Tuesday also saw the R-P-FC boys-girls series. In Preston, the underdog Falcon boys initially kept pace with the streaking Trojans. FC couldn’t keep from turning the ball over versus R-P’s vaunted 1-3-1 trap, but they at least did so in the frontcourt (versus backcourt). R-P couldn’t immediately capitalize. The Trojans broke a 19-all 1st half tie with a 9-2 run to end the stanza. They took a 28-21 lead to the break. In the 2nd half, the lead ballooned into double-digits (32-21) before FC went on a 9-2 spurt. They pulled to within four

(34-30). Then instant-offense Charlie Krambeer, R-P’s sophomore secret weapon, came in and drilled back-to-back triples. They gave R-P a 10-point lead. They stayed up by 10-plus. R-P prevailed 57-40. Junior G Seth Thompson led the way (16 pts, 8 rebs). Jorli Hauge added 13. For FC, Andrew Coyle (11 pts), Dan Gatzke (8 pts, 8 rebs), and Nick Powell (8 pts, 6 rebs) dominated the action. The Falcons were doomed by 31 turnovers and the three-point shot (R-P 7-21, FC 2-7). In Rushford, it was the Amy Todd show. The Trojan’s 5’9” athletic forward entered the contest with FC on a scoring mini-slump. After putting up double-digits in each of her first nine games, Todd had 12 total (six each) versus Spring Grove and Southland. The Falcons evidently were the slump antidotes. Todd scored a season high 33 (over half her teams points) and grabbed 13 rebounds. R-P downed FC 64-43. Morgan Malley (16 pts, 8 rebs) led the still short-handed Falcons.

ber, as his family still lives in Windom where the boys are in school. They hope to finish the school year there before moving to the area. Gregg has an apartment in Preston and commutes back to Windom and his family each weekend. He is considering taking up trout fishing. Gregg and his family love the outdoors, love to camp. His office is temporarily located on the lower level of the Fillmore County Office Building during the remodel of the Highway Administration Building. He had a little experience with the design process of a building while working in Lincoln County. The county hopes to have the remodel complete in March. Gregg says he is thrilled to be working for Fillmore County, adding the staff and county commissioners have been great and very helpful. It has been a good experience so far and he envisions bigger and better things to come.

Rushford moves forward with potential USDA project By Kirsten Zoellner The city is drawing closer to a go-ahead for the renovation of the former municipal liquor store to a new city hall. A loan resolution with the USDA Rural Development Office was signed on September 24 of last year in order to fund the proposed project. While the USDA has recently requested the loan resolution be rescinded in order for the city to instead adopt a more applicable loan resolution security agreement, the parameters of the funding remain the same. Should the city proceed following bidding results, the loan would finance $200,000 of a proposed cost of $220,000, according to City Clerk Kathy Zacher. The loan would have a 40-year term with a 3.5 percent fixed rate. The loan would also be eligible for immediate repayment without penalty. Updated plans and specifications for the project were reviewed and approved by

USDA January 11. According to Zacher, the council has not yet reviewed the plans and specifications. USDA has authorized the project to be prepared to go to out for competitive construction bids. Should bids exceed the maximum project cost, the city retains the right to decline all bids and opt out of the USDA loan. The city is also moving forward with the Pine Meadows North, Phase II Utility Line Extensions, affecting the Dammen properties, as well as possible future development. A draft agreement is in place and the water and sewer upgrades have been outlined in engineering plans and specifications. Part of the work will need to be assessed. The city engineer will review the final plans and specifications to prepare them for bid letting, as well as the assist in addressing the final assessment and easement agreement

Photos from the late 1950s show a treeless landscape on the bluff, but it is now overrun with invasive species such as Cedar, Buckthorn, and Prickly Ash. Using the Legacy grant funding through the DNR, Meadowlark Restorations would clear the bluff of the invasive species by cutting and some treatment with the herbicide Garlon. It should be noted to local residents that the treatment with Garlon is minimal and will not involve spraying on the bluff. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, January 28, at 6:30pm, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

between the city and property owner John Dammen. In other news, Meadowlark Restorations has been granted the authority to seek DNR funding for the removal of invasive species on Magelssen’s Bluff. Scott Leddy, representing Meadowlark, a non-profit organization, addressed the council. “Funding is being poured into this area due to the number of rare [plant] species,” he noted. “We’ve gotten a lot of support from the Fish & Wildlife Services. The bluff was listed as one of Minnesota’s highest quality prairies in 1992, but it’s overgrown now with vegetation.”

Chatfield looks forward to 2013 By Karen Reisner The January 14 Chatfield City Council meeting began with the administration of the oath of office for re-elected Mayor Don Hainlen and newly elected councilor Robert Pederson and re-elected councilor Dave Frank. Councilor Ken Jacobson was absent. Pederson was presented a plaque with the Athenian Oath, an oath of civic responsibility. Russ Smith was elected ViceMayor. Mayor Hainlen reviewed the high points of 2012 and noted expected activities and opportunities for 2013. In 2012 the city had the sewer lines video taped to provide information for prioritizing necessary short- and long-

term repairs. Hainlen said that there are new shops on Main Street and some planning for new construction expansions. A new policy for posting the city’s used equipment that is for sale on the Internet has resulted in more interest and higher sale prices. The use of iPads by the council has allowed for electronic and improved communications. The city was able to present a 2013 budget requiring a minimal tax increase. In 2013 the Mayor noted the city will continue to work on sewer repairs. The boulevard trees are to be removed. What may be put in there place is still being discussed. Hainlen noted that the local motel has been sold and that there have been

discussions on the possibility of a new motel. The Center for the Arts continues to be used for a wide variety of events, business meetings, celebrations, and so on. Hainlen referred to the Center as a quality of life asset. He concluded saying he was looking forward to opportunities in 2013. Other Business In Brief •Kristi Clarke, city planner, listed six recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance. Language in the B-1 district for permitted uses is recommended to be changed from “reducing salons” to “fitness center, spa.” In the B-1 district conditional uses may include bed and breakfasts. In the RR district the words “Signs shall not exceed 25 feet” are recommended to be deleted. Also, the minimum standards of a lot width and depth are clarified. In the R-2 zone the words “Signs shall not exceed 25 feet” are recommended to be deleted. Sign standards are regulated in Section 109. The council authorized City

Attorney Fred Suhler to produce a draft of the changes. •Tony Lammers reviewed proposed 2013 street and utility improvements. A top ten list of needed repairs to the city’s sanitary sewer system has been determined from the televising project. There are broken clay tile pipes causing back up problems and man holes shifting which make a catch point on the sewer lines. Proposed mill and overlay projects include Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Streets, one block east of Main Street. The council authorized the city engineer to move forward with plans and specifications. •Lammers detailed the damage to the sidewalks from the boulevard trees which is causing a trip hazard. The removal of the trees, repair of the sidewalks, and possible planters to replace the trees were discussed. Councilor Paul Novotny said he had no problem with the removal of the trees and maintained that anything that is put there to replace them should remain above ground. The Public

Area resident is Lottery winner Congratulations to Michael Boelter of Wykoff. Boelter won $5,000 by playing the Lottery’s $100,000 Poker Night scratch game. Boelter claimed the prize on Jan. 2, 2013. The winning ticket was purchased at the Northstar Bar, 503 N. Broadway in Rochester.

Works Committee will discuss options and work out details and bring back recommendations. •Approval was given to appoint Dan Jaquith to be Emergency Management Consultant. Jaquith will be responsible for planning the city’s response to a catastrophic event. He has been trained for the position and will report to Mayor Hainlen. The council approved a payment of $5,000 for his 2012 contributions. For 2013 he will be compensated with $5,000 to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the EM Consultant.
