Candidates talk about what’s important

Over the next several weeks leading up to Election Day on November 6, 2018, the Fillmore County Journal will provide candidates in contested races in our coverage area an opportunity to answer questions that we hope will be of value to voters. On today’s front page, we are presenting two candidates battling for State Representative of District 28B. Both Greg Davids and Thomas Trehus were presented with the same questions with a 100 word count limit per answer. Readers can also look for these Q & A write-ups on www.fillmorecountyjournal.com, where the conversation will continue.

- Jason Sethre, Publisher of Fillmore County Journal

First, tell us a little about yourself. I live on my 100+ year old family farm outside of Spring Grove. My father and I farm corn and beans. I graduated from Spring Grove High School in 2009 and the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities in 2012, with a B.A. in Political Science. I currently serve on the Spring Grove School Board and teach part-time while I campaign for State House. I serve as vice president of my local Sons of Norway, coach high school speech, and I am a certified firearm safety instructor. Previously I worked in the U.S. Senate as a staff member. Why are you running for the position of State Representative for District 28B? I grew up volunteering and serving my community, I want to continue down that path. I respect Rep. Davids’ 13 terms, but it’s time for a change. We

need to crack down on health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies who are bankrupting our neighbors and our government. We must provide another health care option for our small business people, farmers, and those workpart-time jobs. Thom ing Inseveral 2017, Rep. Davids as gave insurance Tr panies well comover $400 million in taxpayer dollars with no strings attached. I’m running to fully fund and support our public schools, while helping reduce the burden of unfunded mandates. What experience do you bring to this position? As a school board member, I know how critical it is for our state and local government to com-

us eh

road and bridge funding without raising taxes or fees. I’m ready to help continue these success stories. What experience do you bring to this position? Being a senior member in the caucus, as well Greg majority as serving as the chairDa man of the House v Taxes committee means the needs of Fillmore and Houston counties are always prioritized. I have been honored to carry countless laws that benefit our area, including our new Fillmore County Veterans Home and Veterans Cemetery, my “Good Neighbor” policy that allows local communities to benefit from Rochester’s sales tax, income tax reci-

First, tell us a little about yourself. I have lived in Fillmore County nearly my entire life, have been married to Bonnie for 39 years, have three adult daughters, and three grandsons. In addition to serving as your state representative, my wife and I own the family farm. I have been a financial planner since 1982, and am a former teacher and mayor of Preston. Why are you running for the position of State Representative for District 28B? To continue helping and serving the good people of Fillmore and Houston counties and bringing their needs to the State Capitol. The last two-year cycle may have been our most successful in recent memory. Not only did we lower health care premiums for those buying insurance on the individual market, but we also passed historic tax relief and increased statewide

Harmony Gardens and Floral grows with addition of chickens By H annah Wingert hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

the kids something to do in the summer,” Lisa said. “They’re here a lot.” The first step was to get permission from the City of Harmony. Andrew spoke with all of the business’s adjacent neighbors and got a signature from each one showing their support for the venture. He then addressed the city council at one of their

meetings to ask them to consider changing the city ordinance, which at that time, forbid any farm animals from being raised within city limits. The city approved a modification to the ordinance allowing chickens to be kept in industrial areas with a permit. In May, the Kingsleys purchased their permit and were ready to go. “We thank the city

for being willing to work with us on it,” Andrew expressed. They purchased some newlyhatched chicks and began to raise them in a portable chicken coop which Andrew built himself. Some of the chicks turned out to be roosters so they were re-homed with an Amish family, See CHICKENS Page 2 

Since 1901

Andrew and Lisa Kingsley run Harmony Gardens and Floral as a family business with their four children in tow. Grace (eight), Charity (eight), Liberty (seven), and Charlie (four) spend their days playing and helping with chores, which

allows them to spend lots of time with their parents. It’s been working out great but towards the end of the last school year, Andrew and Lisa decided that they needed to add something to the business to give the kids something to do over the summer months. They determined that chickens would be just the thing. “It was kind of to give

as the city ordinance only allows hens. They currently have a flock of about 14 chickens. “It’s (the chickens) a good customer interest thing,� Andrew said. He and Lisa have noticed a lot of their customers stopping by the coop to check out the chickens, especially if they have children along. The neighbors don’t mind the chickens either. “Nobody’s been anything but positive about the whole thing,� noted Andrew. The Kingsleys haven’t decided if they will increase the flock next year as they already have a lot going on with their greenhouse expan-

sion, new partnership with Oak Hill Farm Daylilies, etc. Since opening Harmony Gardens and Floral in August 2016, they have kept very busy. “We have to keep growing or we won’t be able to remain viable over the long run,� Andrew said. The kids had a lot of fun being creative in naming all of the chickens. Caramel, Eagle, Galaxy, Shadow, and Stripe are just a few. Produce that hasn’t sold and is going bad is fed to the chickens, which is a chore the kids love doing. They’ll eat just about anything from tomatoes and carrots to watermelon and cherries. They are also great at rooting up the ground to search for bugs to eat and their drop-

pings are good fertilizer. However, they aren’t free-range and have to stay within their pen per city ordinance. The portable chicken coop was made so that it could be moved approximately every other day, allowing the chickens fresh ground to peck at. This isn’t just beneficial for the chickens though. “It’s good

for the ground,� Andrew pointed out. When he built the coop, he made it sturdy so they wouldn’t have to worry about it tipping over. That does make it harder to move around the grounds, but it’s better than the alternative. The Kingsleys have toyed with the idea of eventually selling eggs as well, but the chickens

haven’t gotten to the age where they’re laying yet. At this point, they’re not sure if they will winter the chickens or butcher them, but the kids are definitely in support of wintering them. “I think they’re really cool,� seven-year-old Liberty said about the chickens. “I like that we can hold them.�

C ommentary Caution to farmers... To the Editor, Fellow farmers, with Trump’s trade wars hurting farmers and Trump’s tariff taxes soon raising prices on numerous goods, I urge caution with increasing your debts. I believe two issues are especially driving trade wars. Aluminum and steel tariffs applied because of “national security,” while seemingly silly, allows the Trump Administration to selectively give waivers to favored corporations. Yes, a Republican government bureaucrat decides if you’re a winner or a big loser. Do they decide based on Republican donations? Secondly, Republicans love strong intellectual property rights. Multinational corporations and the wealthy are in total control of America and they naturally want more money and power. Longterm patents and copyrights, for instance, help insure monopolistic

control by the wealthy and the Stock Market loves it. We will soon have a Supreme Court in the pocket of the wealthy for decades to come. Good paying jobs are not returning to the U.S. because of robotics. Even China is moving heavily toward robotics. Republicans gave the wealthy a $1 trillion tax cut which adds $1 trillion to our deficit. Now the Republican “tax reform 2.0” would give more tax cuts to the wealthy and add another $2 trillion to our deficit. At some future time, the Republicans will “remember” deficits are bad. They will then go after Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid because that’s where the big money is. If you don’t understand that then you’re not paying attention. Greg Rendahl Ostrander, Minn.

Young owl joins staff at International Owl Center After much anticipation and preparation, a new young owl has joined the education staff at the International Owl Center: JR, the 3-month-old Eastern ScreechOwl! JR is a male and weighs just a bit more than a quarter-pound hamburger. He is a stunning little red morph (the species also comes in gray) and a real crowd pleaser. His back, wing and tail feathers are fully grown in, but his adult breast and head feathers will fill in sometime in the next few weeks. Scarlet and Wink, JR’s parents, are non-releasable education ambassadors at the Illinois Raptor Center, so this line of work runs in the family. At the Owl Center JR is housed in a 4’x4’ enclosure right next to Uhu the Eurasian Eagle Owl. This provides an amazing perspective of how big and small owls can be, since Uhu weighs 14 times more than JR (and in the wild Editorial Cartoon

would happily eat an owl the size of JR, hence the need for JR to be in an enclosure with a visual barrier at work.) At home JR lives in an 8’x10’ outdoor aviary and loves to hunt live crickets to supplement his diet of mice. Visit the International Owl Center in Houston soon if you want to see JR in his juvenile plumage! For more information, hours and prices visit www.InternationalOwlCenter.org.

Collaborating for regional vitality By Tim Penny President/CEO Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation A couple of years ago we went through a rebranding exercise at Southern Mi n n e s o t a Initiative Foundation (SMIF) and settled on the tagline, “collaborating for regional Tim Penny vitality,” as a simple way to represent our work. This phrase gets to the heart of everything that we do, whether in early childhood, economic development or community vitality, and it really comes alive for me during our fall events as we gather with many partners and leverage relationships to strengthen the fabric of our region. This theme of collaboration and relationships came up time and again throughout the fourth annual Entrepreneurial Bridge which we recently held in Austin. In addition to hearing from inspirational speakers who emphasized the importance of relationships in the business world, attendees spent the day learning from each other and identifying symbiotic relationships that will help their businesses grow. Collaboration was critical to panelists that talked about ways businesses can help alleviate the child care shortage. Whether they are offering flexibility with hours, free school transportation for kids, or a center on their property, they relied on partnerships among organizations in the community to create these incentives for employees. We also heard from Tom Fisher, director of the Minnesota Design Center, and John

Austin, director of the Michigan Economic Center, about the future of our economy. We are coming to the end of the Industrial Revolution and are experiencing the dawn of the Information Revolution which has already begun to change our economy and our rural communities. As we prepare for these changes, we will be relying on strong relationships to ensure our region thrives instead of falters under these new conditions. As we look to the future we also want to be sure our youngest entrepreneurs are feeling supported. One of the highlights of the Entrepreneurial Bridge for me is the student competition. Ten teams comprised of students from southern Minnesota colleges pitched their business ideas to a panel of judges. Their innovative ideas ranged from lunch bags designed for adults to phone applications designed to address workforce shortages, and three winners walked away with prize money to invest in their businesses. Our hope is that if they start a business in southern Minnesota, they might just stay here. We look forward to continuing relationships with these students as they become our next generation of entrepreneurs. Now that the Entrepreneurial Bridge is over, we are shifting our focus to our other fall events. On October 11 we will be hosting our Annual Luncheon in Owatonna. We will hear from partners across the region who are moving the needle on important issues like school readiness, rural philanthropy and economic prosperity for immigrants and refugees. This is an important opportunity to reflect on the year and strengthen relationships with partners in the region, while meeting new people to collaborate with in the future. On October 26 – 27, we will host the Early Childhood Care Conference, also in Owatonna. This event attracts around 400 early child care providers and educators from across the region to learn best practices in the field. These educators have developed a network over the

C ommentary Letter to the Editor Policy leading up to Election Day 2018 By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal

jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” — Benjamin Franklin In case you hadn’t noticed, the 2018 election season is well underway and as Election Day draws near, so does its impact on the community and this newspaper. This is also the time of an election year the Fillmore County Journal announces its political policy. The policy is not designed to stifle public opinion, but rather to allow a fair opportunity for everyone to address the key issues of this campaign. From now until November,

ing charges. The opposition had no opportunity to respond and those letters ultimately affected the elections. As always, we appreciate letters to the editor. However, letters pertaining to an election can be a bit tricky. We ask that letter writers separate what they know from what they think they know. In short, please double-check your facts and abide by the following policy. Letters to the Editor The Fillmore County Journal will not publish letters to the editor that simply endorse candidates. We consider such letters to be advertising. They should be handled as such. Our newspaper will publish letters regarding issues to campaigns affecting the area. We will not publish letters from candidates if they only outline the candidates’ positions.

We will not allow letters from candidates or campaign managers, unless it’s in response to a news story or editorial specifically about them. They have ample ways to get their message out, including advertising. All political letters must comply strictly with the Fillmore County Journal’s existing guidelines — a 300 word limit, typed (not handwritten), name and address included, and submitted prior to the Tuesday 5 p.m. deadline. The Fillmore County Journal reserves the right to edit all letters for length, libel, clarity, accuracy, grammar, and punctuation. We will allow no name-calling, unsubstantiated allegations or personal attacks — period. We will not publish form letters, petitions, quotations, or anonymous letters. Letters should be factually accurate and reflect original thoughts

of a single writer. Readers and candidates are permitted one published letter every 30 days. Requests for specific print dates will not be honored. E-mail submission is preferred at news@fillmorecountyjournal. com. You can also send letters to Fillmore County Journal, P.O. Box 496, Preston, MN 55965, or fax them to 507-765-2468. For verification, please include your full name, signature, full address, and daytime telephone number. Only the name and city of residence will be published. News coverage The Fillmore County Journal will provide news coverage of the election over the next couple months leading up to the general election. These policies are designed to be straightforward and to encourage an issue-oriented campaign. If you have questions about this policy, send an e-mail to news@fillmorecountyjournal. com, or call 507-765-2151.

Donald, or Hillary, the “Libs,” “Alt-Right,” “AntiFa,” etc., etc., yada, yada, are not to blame. We are. You are. I am. We’ve chosen to play this pathetic zero sum game, and only we can choose another. While we’ve perhaps learned not to define the world in black and white, we continue to make equally absurd false divisions: “Left or Right?”, “Conservative or Liberal?”, “Socialist or Capitalist?” Any form of aid could be construed as socialist, and a $56,000 air ambulance ride could be construed as capitalism run amok. The point is that these are false choices. But they are easy choices, as are the choices to consume and proliferate media that reinforces our world view; to ignore facts that do not; and to accept behavior contrary to basic moral code for

those whose lies we prefer. We all do this to some extent... if we at least acknowledge that, perhaps we will do it less often. Perhaps we’ll try another game, like a pick-up game of liberal democracy. While we all know there is no easy answer to the bitter state of our politics, consider that there is no one “answer” at all, but rather a continuous work in progress where we are either working or sloughing. A government Of the People, By the People and For the People requires constant maintenance by you and me. If it fails, it’s because we have. We will never — NEVER — be able to check a ballot box and have everything fixed. We have to work at it daily to either move forward or not. Back to the false choices of left or right, conservative or liberal – I think everyone who has any moral fiber at all would welcome a full spectrum of thought and action to make the

world better. We all want to make progress while carefully conserving the gains we have made. We love a liberal exposure to human talent and the ability to share with our family and friends and good people we meet so long as we don’t foolishly put ourselves at risk. Indeed we need people to dream, to propose better ways, to envision a path of progress... and also those who skillfully and carefully implement without fanfare, alert us to potential risks, guard and protect those who need it. To carefully progress, we have to constantly engage and constantly work hard. Sometimes we will be the strategic dreamer, other times we’ll be out of the lime light, rolling up our sleeves to implement. I suppose, even if we pull out of this divisive dystopia, we still might appear “liberal” or “conservative” at times... but hopefully, the predominant description will just be “a good human.” Or not.

It’s our choice. Sorry, but constant engagement and hard work are still not enough. We also need to constantly care about the Truth and the Results... and, wholly crap... to be patient, too! I hate that one — it’s so agonizingly difficult. Patience comes from understanding, which comes from effective listening and careful observation, which can only occur when you are curious, research with diligence, and remain open to questioning your own world view. With Patience and Hard Work and Truth, the results will become more clear, as will the path forward... but only — ONLY — if we put top value on the binding force of Integrity, and the questions that truly matter: Is this concept, strategy, or plan “Of the People,” “By the People” and “For the People?” Is it consistent with our inalienable human rights? What ya say – we on the same team?

it to the next town. Oh yes, reader. We get each other, you and me. Which is why I feel I have to get this off my chest. I always told myself I’d never become the jealous husband type, and that my love for my wife was too complete, too powerful, too strong to be threatened. But, alas, I believe I have finally met my match in a shiny little barrel known only as the Instant Pot. For the three of you who have not yet accepted the Instant Pot into your life, this overgrown spark plug is the result of hot science, cool engineering, and lukewarm acceptance by yours truly... at least at first. Growing up, my family was very rarely a pressurecooker family: too many stories of beef stew decorating the ceiling in a messy, but pretty splatter

pattern mostly scared us into the comfortable camp of the crockpot. So much of my childhood was nourished in Mom’s ugly, brown, 1970s style version that, when it finally gave up the ghost in the 1990s and ruined an entire batch of chili, my brother and sister sang it to the appliance afterlife with an on-the-spot memorial service Yes, really. That actually happened. So you can imagine my skepticism when the wife brought this Instant Pot home as a Christmas present. This squat, bedazzled fire hydrant was supposed to replace my beloved slow cooker? And it boasts that it not only slow cooks, but pressure cooks, steams, sears, and can also make both rice and yogurt? I’ve seen far too many gadgets in my day promise to do many things well and only end up doing very little and very badly, so I was prepared to sneer

at this chromed-up pretender. But then, to my tremendous surprise, it worked. It worked well. Rice in four minutes. Dry beans to soup in 45. Meatballs, sauce and rice altogether at the push of a button. It even warns you if something’s wrong, so no more ceiling stew. It was just too good to be true, but I’m here to tell you that it walks the walk. So much so that, dare I say it, I’m starting to feel a little replaced by the thing. I’ve started trying bizarre things to trip up this kitchen marvel: I’ve made cheeseburgers in it. Cakes. Ice cream. I threw my laundry in it once, and it came out pressed. It composed a symphony. I taught it Welsh and all 50 states along with their capitals. It tied my daughter’s shoelaces yesterday, and she was wearing velcro. The very fabric of space, time, and reality has started to

bend around the Instant Pot, and I swear I hear a sinister cackle every time the readout reads “BURN.” Sometimes, there’s not even anything in the pot. Sometimes, I think it’s threatening me. That, or it’s just insulting me in Welsh again. So that’s a big endorsement of the Instant Pot from me, and I’m not just saying that because it gained access to my bank account yesterday. I’d sing its praises even if it didn’t have every awkward conversation I had in high school somehow recorded into highquality MP3s. For the amount of amazing things it can do, it’s definitely worth waking up in the middle of the night to read it the opinion column of the Washington Post. No buyer’s remorse here: if you only buy one kitchen appliance that can make rice porridge and crash the Japanese stock market, make sure it’s the Instant Pot.

our job is to help readers wade through the political process. Our goal is to find out what candidates are like and where they stand on key issues. A list of questions will soon be sent to local candidates who are involved in races (with announced opposition). The candidates will have some time to carefully craft their answers and explain exactly how they would serve the public. One thing our readers will not likely see in the October 29, 2018, or November 5, 2018, issues of the Fillmore County Journal is any type of political letter to the editor. Our long-standing policy not to publish letters the week before the election is there to protect the integrity of the election. We’ve seen cases where newspapers have allowed letters in the final days before an election. What resulted, in some cases, were letters that raised false or mislead-

I’m endorsing you Eric Luoma Fountain, MN I’m endorsing you. Oh, and me too: Us — a pick-up team! Yay! The never-ending task is to save us from a dystopian future. As election day nears, we will witness our Eric Luoma National dialog devolve into evermore divisive and hateful rhetoric, because in the perfect zero-sum game everyone loses, and that’s what we are playing today. Most will blame the media, or the government; the remainder the opposing view point, as if there are only two. But the sad reality is that the government, the media,

procity with Wisconsin, Lanesboro Dam funding and many more. I know how to work with both Democrats and Republicans to move good policies forward, and hope to continue this progress. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the residents of Fillmore and Houston counties? Affordable health care continues to come up as I meet with residents across our district. We made great progress in this area last session, passing new laws that lower premium rates for those purchasing health insurance on the individual market and finally ended the doubledigit increases they had experienced every year since the implementation of Obamacare. We also provided more choices by bringing more competition into the market and provided better access to care. We’re off to a great start, but there’s still more work to be done. Improving our rural schools and roads is also critical. How will you help the residents of Fillmore and Houston counties? My approach has always been very simple: listen to the concerns of area residents carefully and respectfully, and

fight for their needs at the Capitol vigorously. Having grown up here, raised a family here, and operated a business here, I understand the challenges being faced by our neighbors every day. The job of a state representative is to find ways to combat these challenges, and whether it has been health care, tax relief, school safety or road improvements, I have always based my vote on whether or not it is in the best interests of Fillmore and Houston counties. What else do you feel voters should know about you? In this new era where partisan politics has become toxic at times, residents should know my goal has always been to find bipartisan solutions wherever possible. My job isn’t to represent my political party, it is to represent everyone in our district regardless of their political affiliation. Moving forward, I will continue seeking ways allowing you to keep more of what you earn while increasing funding to our schools, improving our roads and bridges, and strengthening our rural economy. I humbly ask for your vote on November 6.

municate effectively and work together for Fillmore and Houston Counties. I also have the unique experience of working in K-12 classrooms in both counties, so I understand the successes and challenges within education. Agricultural experience is a must. I have spent most of my life living and working on a farm. And having worked in the U.S. Senate, I know how agriculture can be helped or hindered through government policies. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the residents of Fillmore and Houston counties? The lack of affordable healthcare options. The state not doing its job in keeping up with LGA, CPA, and Township Aid. The state is not keeping up with general road and bridge maintenance. A workforce shortage, especially in senior care and services for those with disabilities. The lack of childcare. A system that is rigged against small businesses and small-medium sized farms. Low commodity prices and increasing input costs for farmers. Our school districts struggling with enrollment and increasing costs of doing business. How will you help the residents of Fillmore and Houston counties? I will fight to provide a public option for

those struggling to find or pay for health insurance. I will stand up to insurance companies and big Pharma. I will fight to ensure that our schools are properly funded, so that every child can get the education they deserve. I will stand up for our towns and townships by fighting for adequate LGA, Township Aid, and road and bridge maintenance. I will fight to keep seniors safe and increase in-home care for seniors. I will make sure our nursing homes have the support needed to allow our seniors to live with respect and dignity. What else do you feel voters should know about you? I have spoken personally to thousands of voters and will continue to listen to Fillmore and Houston County residents. I will not be a legislator just focused on re-election, I will be a legislator focused on representing YOU. I won’t make you come to St. Paul to talk to me, I will be in your town and township throughout my service. Please email me or call me if you have any questions. My email is trehusforhouse@gmail.com and my cell is (507) 251-3584. I would appreciate your vote on November 6.

Obituaries Gregory “Greg” Anderson Gregory Dean “Greg” Anderson, of Burnsville, passed away on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, at Fairview Un i v e r s i t y Hospital from complications due to a stroke Gregory (Greg) following his Anderson recent heart surgery. He was surrounded by his children and went peacefully. Greg was born in Fillmore County on June 22, 1953, to Amos and Helen (Tolrud) Anderson. He was proud to be a funeral director for the majority of his working career and found satisfaction helping families which was well known as one of his innate qualities. He was funny, caring, enigmatic and true to himself. He never shied away from a good time, but he also worked hard every day to make a difference in the lives of those he loved. His hobbies of gardening, boating, cooking and music are just a few of which he was known for. His storytelling was top notch and he could have even the most stoic people laughing, even if they’d already heard the story a million times. Greg was a long-time member of the Zuhrah Shrine Horsemen and a proud member of The Torske Klubben. He is survived by his kids, Thomas Anderson (Tami), Lindsey Anderson Watson (Wes), John Anderson (Kristina Janu) and Jessica Norem (Tony); and grandkids Garrett, Aurora, Lillian and Ashton. Visitation was held 6-8 p.m. Thursday, September 27, at Washburn-McReavy Werness Chapel, 2300 West Old Shakopee Rd., Bloomington and a half hour prior to the funeral service at Lakewood. Funeral service took place 2 p.m. Friday, September 28, at Lakewood Cemetery Chapel, 3600 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis. Committal service was 11 a.m. Saturday, September 29, at Crown Hill Cemetery, Preston, Minn. A luncheon followed in Preston. Luana Bernau Luana Marie Bernau, age 95, of Preston, Minn., entered her heavenly home on the last day of summer, September 21, 2018, at Seasons Hospice House in Rochester, where she had been a

resident since September 13. Luana was born on the last day of winter, March 20, 1923, in Whittemore, Iowa, to William F. and Anna Drewes Dau. She was bap- Luana Bernau tized April 15, 1923, confirmed on April 4, 1937, and married Ernest Bernau on April 24, 1946, all at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Whittemore, Iowa. She attended St. Paul’s Lutheran School through eighth grade and placed first in the Kossuth County eighth grade examinations. She could still recite poems she learned in school 90 years ago. Ernest and Luana farmed at various locations in Kossuth County, Iowa, before purchasing their farm and moving near Fountain, Minn., in February 1958, where they made their home for over 50 years. Just before the death of her husband Ernest in July 2009, Luana moved to Traditions Assisted Living in Preston. Luana always put the best construction on everything which allowed her to bloom wherever she was planted. She enjoyed her family, photography, scrapbooking, poetry, embroidery, reading, and gardening. She joined the Merry Meeters Birthday Club in November 1971 and the Ladies Aid in Wykoff, Minn., in 1979. Luana’s treasures were her children: Paul (Beverly) of Fountain, Minn., Ralph (Patricia) of Preston, Minn., Iris of Groton, Conn., Wayne (Donna) of Courtland, Minn., Ann (Philip) Halverson of Oronoco, Minn., Lyle (Karen) of Westby, Wis., Marlin (Brenda) of Faribault, Minn., and Rosemary of Richfield, Minn. She was pleased to personally witness all 28 grandchildren confirm their Christian faith in the Lutheran church. Filling out the family tree are 27 great-grandchildren. The last surviving member of her generation, Luana joins her parents, seven sisters: Edna Meyer, Ella Dau, Eldora Zumach, Linda Jergens, Alice Meyer, Vera Roeber, and Wilma Roeber; one brother, Victor Dau; and her husband Ernest, in heaven. Funeral services were held at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Wykoff, Minn., on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, at 11 a.m., with Pastor Michael

high school graduation rates and a consistency in elementary school attendance. A facility project community Q & A took place on September 19 to answer questions from the community about the upcoming renovations and construction that are expected to begin in May 2019. Board member Steve Snyder noted that this is the third meeting that has been held to discuss the facility project with the public, and that some of the people in attendance hadn’t made it to either of the prior meetings so this was their first one. Comments, questions, and ideas at those meetings have helped the board fine-tune the project plans. “I think it’s (the project) coming together very well,”

Snyder remarked. Superintendent Schultz noted in his report that there are approximately 15 school board policies that do not have model policies available with the Minnesota School Board Association. He will be reviewing each one and will recommend possible amendments to the board if necessary. The Lanesboro school is still accepting applications for substitute van and bus drivers and also has a part-time van position available. Tom Blahnik was approved as the new band teacher. “He’s doing a great job so far,” Board member Dave Ruen remarked. In light of Blahnik’s hiring, the board approved the resignation of former band teacher Katrina

The agreement to purchase education services from Hiawatha Valley Education District was reviewed and approved. The board certified the maximum levy amount. “We can always go lower, we just can’t go above that max,” Superintendent Schultz noted. The school received their annual request from the Chamber of Commerce for $400 to go towards the printing of the Lanesboro Visitor’s Guide Book. The board approved the request. A school board resolution supporting the Form A application to the Minnesota State High School League foundation or MSHSL, was passed. Last year, the board approved a cooperative agreement with Fillmore Central for a dance

team. At that time, they did not approve transportation for the program as they were unsure of how many Lanesboro students would participate. Nine students ended up joining the dance team last year and nine are already signed up for this year as well. Due to the number of students participating with dance team, Superintendent Schultz spoke with the transportation director. It turns out that the times for dance rehearsal and wrestling, which is also a co-op with Fillmore Central, are similar and so the dancers will be able to ride the bus after school to Preston with the wrestlers at no additional cost to the district. The next Lanesboro School Board meeting will take place on October 18. The Truth in Taxation meeting will be held during the December 13 regular board meeting at 7 p.m.

It’s federal funds.” There would be 12 to 16 apartment units, a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. He went on to explain the matching grant and upcoming deadline. He also outlined the basics of his project, and why he sees it as a good thing for the city of Spring Valley. Todd Jones asked if there would be adequate parking, and Allman said there is a plan for parking for about 24 vehicles. He summarized that the project will be a good use for the land on which it will sit, and will significantly fix up some buildings that have gone downhill. No action was requested or taken by the council at this time. There was discussion of the repair work being done to the water-damaged walls in city hall. Zimmer said, “Well, you can see that the stuff is down. It’s drying out. So we’re going to leave it like this for a while, to make sure it all dries out.” Regarding repairs needed to fix serious leaks at the swimming pool, the council considered a quote for materials from Thatcher Pool, Spa & Patio, for $10,151.19. Mike Hadland asked if this is the only quote, and John Fenske replied, “Yes, there’s not too many people that do pools.” The council approved the quote as submitted. The repairs are scheduled to begin work on October 8. Jenny Simon gave an update on planned repairs to the exterior of the public library, stating, “We are going to be having the EFIS

Aaron Hamersma reported on ongoing repairs to the wastewater treatment plant, saying, “We still have more fixes to find, but we’ve seen a drastic improvement.” Sue Puffer reported that the ambulance crew’s new truck is “two weeks out,” and she added that they are possibly getting a new but experienced EMT to join the crew.

Fillmore Central board reviews report from new back to school conferences By Hannah Wingert At the September 25 Fillmore Central School Board meeting, Principal Heath Olstad gave a report on how the first backto-school conferences went on September 4 and 5. After the conferences, he was able to speak with all of the school staff and many of the parents as well. “There was high praise for the experience,” he noted. He did receive some suggestions to help next year go even smoother, which he plans to consider. Board member Deb Ristau mentioned that several families spoke to her and recommended better communication involving the daycare services available for younger children during the conferences. The teachers appreciated that they were able to evaluate the students the day of their conference and hit the ground running with personalized learning plans when regular school hours began on September 6. Staff from Fillmore County Public Health was also at the school that day to conduct hearing and vision screenings and then were able to speak with parents about the result right away instead of having to send letters home with the students. They hope to bring

more volunteers next year to cut down on any waiting time for families. Next year, the school is also hoping to have a photographer at the building to take school pictures during the conferences with a re-take day offered later. Principal Olstad was happy to report that attendance for the back to school conferences was almost at 100%. He estimated that less than five families did not participate. The current enrollment numbers are 344 for grades K-6 and 275 for 7-12. Director of Special Education Micki Breitsprecher reported that 84 students are presently receiving special education services. Resignations from daycare employees Sallie Merritt and Ellie Skaggs were approved as well as a resignation from basketball and baseball coach Jeffrey Dick. Tris Tollefson was hired as a fifth grade teacher, Robert Doherty as a part-time van driver, and Melissa Heron as the SADD advisor. John O’Connor was hired as the head softball coach, Elisha Himli as head dance coach, Andrew Pederson as weightlifting coach, Andy Todd as eighth grade boys basketball coach, Eric Breitsprecher as JV girls basketball coach, John O’Connor as eighth grade

girls basketball coach, Brandi Mayer as seventh grade girls basketball coach, Paul Snell as assistant wrestling coach, and Blaise Sass as volunteer assistant wrestling coach. Coaching positions for JV boys basketball, seventh grade boys basketball, and ninth grade girls basketball are all still open. A Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, with the teachers’ association was passed to allow elementary teachers Kelly Duff and Jolene Nelson to coach the new elementary teachers how to implement the Action 100 reading program in their classrooms. Joni Mehus, Aaron Mensink, Megan Brown, Sarah Holten, and Carrie Mathison were all approved to teach independent study courses. Megan Brown was also approved to be paid for an overload in her schedule for the 2018-29 school year. Several open enrollment requests from students outside of the district asking to attend Fillmore Central were approved. The first reading of a board policy regarding counseling and pre-career and technical programs was reviewed and adopted. The policy assures that the district will provide bias-free counseling material and avoid discrimination in course enrollment. Seven requests were received

from staff for graduate credit reimbursement along with five requests for salary schedule lane changes. The board reviewed and approved all of the requests. The maximum levy amount for the 2019 levy was approved. The final figures will be decided on at the Truth in Taxation meeting in December. The copy machine lease in the high school office is up. Superintendent Richard Keith presented several quotes from difference companies for a new copy machine and lease. “We are really hesitant to go with a used machine, as we tend to have many more problems with copy machines, as they get older,” he said. He asked the board to approve a quote for a new Toshiba 8508A from EO Johnson. EO Johnson is the company that the school works with for all of its current copiers and they will also remove the old copy machine. The board approved the quote. Superintendent Keith also presented the board with a quote from Nelson Auto for a new 2018 seven-passenger Dodge Caravan that will be

used for when staff need to attend conferences or other events. The quote and purchase were approved. A property across the street from the high school was up for tax forfeiture sale on September 11. The total price including fees is $23,070.81. Superintendent Keith recommended that the board approve the purchase of the property with possible uses including parking space, technology lab space, or a weight and fitness facility. The board approved the purchase along with a quote from Scheevel and Sons in the amount of $23,980 for demolition, removal, filling in, and seeding the lot. That number could be higher if asbestos is found in the house. A resolution supporting a Minnesota State High School League, or MSHSL, foundation grant application for activity funding was approved by the board. The next Fillmore Central School Board meeting will be held on October 23 in Harmony, but the time was changed from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. due to a football game that evening.

County approves preliminary levy for 2019 By Karen Reisner At the September 25 county board meeting, the preliminary budget and levy for 2019 was discussed. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman provided a breakdown of each departmental budget. The total 2019 preliminary levy is $10,819,093, which is an increase of 3.49%, or $364,893, over the 2018 final levy. The preliminary levy can be lowered in December when the final levy is set, but not raised. The 2019 levy numbers represent $518.50 per capita. The total levy included $119,773 in disparity aid. The amount of disparity aid is included in the levy because the state could change the amount at any time. The $350,000 the county donated toward the veterans home will all be taken out of reserves. Vickerman explained that poll pads were used on a trial basis in the primary election. They streamline the process and eliminate errors. Knowink has a pro-

posal for 45 poll pads at a cost of $65,220. A grant from the state would pay for $18,629.32 of the total, leaving the county cost at $46,590.68, which includes maintenance for the first year. Vickerman noted capital funds are available to pay for the poll pads. In future years there will be a cost of about $6,000 per year for maintenance. Commissioners questioned the need for 45 poll pads. Vickerman explained some more populous precincts will use two. The purchase of the poll pads was approved. Fillmore County cities have requested the county increase their portion of funding for libraries in the county at a faster rate. The county paid $228,309 to SELCO in 2018. The county has budgeted $233,809 for 2019 or an increase of $5,500. The county has proposed a threeyear contract with SELCO, with a $5,500 increase for each year. SELCO had offered a one year contract. Commissioner Duane Bakke said he fully supports

the three-year agreement the county offered. Commissioner Randy Dahl added he supports the libraries, but doesn’t think the one-year proposed contract is fair. The three-year offer is an increase of $16,500 over three years. A motion to not accept the one-year contract, but to again offer the three-year contract was approved. Vickerman gave an update on the courthouse security system. A total of $242,000 has been spent on equipment and installation to date. Most of those funds came from two years of dividends from Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust (MCIT). A grant in the amount of $31,000 from the state was used, along with less than $40,000 in county levy dollars.

County Ag Society, requested financial assistance for concrete repairs that are needed inside and in front of the building used to store Rochester City Lines buses. City Lines pays rent to use the space and is willing to continue payment during the repair period when the buses will need to be stored outside. The outside concrete pad is to run the full length of the building (10 foot x 100 foot). The estimated cost for the repairs is $18,800. Lind said they would like to do the repairs this fall. Some grant funds and other contributions total $7,000. Bakke noted the county has contributed to other maintenance projects at the fairgrounds in the past. The board settled on a donation of $7,000, which was approved. Lind thanked the board for their support. Sarah Monroe, DFO Victim Services; Kari Berg, DFO Corrections; and Anne Detlefsen, Woman’s Shelter, asked the board to proclaim the month of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

NatioNal 4-H Week

4-H youth, horses and teamwork! Oh my!

competition. With the help of the parents and adult volunteers, clinician lead clinics take place in June and July to prepare the youth for the competitions. The hippology and judging teams, coached by Maggie Haugstad and assisted by Carrie Enright, study weekly to prepare to compete at the state level. Monthly meetings are held all year round to build the youths’ knowledge in leadership, teamwork and creativity. As parents and adult volunteers, we have the opportunity to watch these youth grow and accomplish so much. Fillmore County made an impression at the State 4-H Horse Show once again! Now for the

results! • Horse Judging: The teams consists of Chase Ketterhagen, Courtney Nelson, Kira Nelson and Nati Vande Zande. Individually Chase placed 9th in reasons out of 80 kids. Courtney individually placed 9th overall out of 80 as well! As a team, they placed 6th out of 18 teams in reasons and 4th overall! So they will be attending Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio, for National 4-H Judging! This will be held the third week in October. • Hippology: The team consists of Mikayla and Nati Vande Zande and Courtney and Kira Nelson. Individually out of 85

kids, Mikayla placed 11th in stations, 17th in judging and 18th overall! Courtney placed 4th in judging and 19th overall! As a team, out of 26 teams they placed 10th in exam, 8th in stations, 8th in team problem, 3rd in team judging and 8th overall! So they are attending the Eastern National 4H Roundup in Louisville, Ky., for National 4-H Hippology! This will be the first weekend in November! • Horse Riding (Each youth competes in their respective age group.): Heather Apenhorst 10th Poles, Sydney Bronner 2nd Western Showmanship, 3rd English Hunt Seat, 5th Western Horsemanship, 5th Western Pleasure; Dana DeGeorge - 7th Step 2 Horse Training, Kjirsta Hinz - 5th English Hunt Seat, 5th Western Horsemanship, 3rd Western Pleasure, Hannah Luck - 3rd Barrels,Courtney Nelson 7th Western Pleasure. The Fillmore County Horse Project would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported us this past year. Without the parents, volunteers, clinicians and donations, our youth would not be able to accomplish all they do.

will be paid $3,200 per year plus $27 per special city council meeting. The resolution is effective January 14, 2019. Charter Commission proposal A public hearing was held on the proposed amendments to the City Charter. The Charter Commission’s recomended amendments include making the city administrator the chief administrative officer of the city. Jenny Bradt, who has served on the Charter Commission for two years and who has lived in Chatfield over 20 years, spoke in favor of the proposed amendments. She noted that the commission originally proposed a city manager position, which did not move forward because the city council wanted to maintain the ability to hire and fire employees. Bradt maintained the city clerk currently is functioning as a city administrator. He is in charge of day to day operations and as it says in the Ordinance No. 437 he “serves in an advisory and consulting capacity as special assistant to the mayor and the city council.” The city council will retain their function to hire and fire employees. The first consideration of Ordinance 437 was approved. City Attorney Fred Suhler explained a unanimous vote was not necessary on the first consideration (McBroom was absent). A unanimous vote with all councilors voting will be required for the second consideration to amend the city charter. Other business in brief • Kristi Clarke, Consultant Planner, presented the request for a conditional use permit from Sean Nixa to construct a 1,008 square foot storage garage in the rear yard of his property. A public hearing was held at Planning and Zoning and a recommendation was made for the city council to issue the CUP. The CUP was approved. A request to combine two parcels along First St. and Winona St. submitted by Elmira Township was approved as recommended by Planning and Zoning. The township purchased and demolished a single family home on one of the parcels and wants to construct a new town hall near the center of the two parcels. • Chris Giesen, Community Development Coordinator, detailed a residential subdivision assistance request from Geoffrey Griffin. The developer has proposed to develop 13 new residential lots along Amco Dr. and Vin-

dmol Dr. in two phases. Griffin has proposed installing public infrastructure and roadway at the expense of G-Cubed Development Corporation. Griffin’s intention is to create affordable single family homes. To make this cost effective, Griffin has requested the city assist with a grant of $10,000 for each lot sold to a qualified buyer, up to a maximum of $130,000. Lots sold to non income qualified buyers would not receive a grant. The lots sold to income qualified buyers would not be sold for more than $55,000. A resolution authorizing a development agreement with G-Cubed Development Corporation to provide financial assistance for residential development was approved. Funds will be provided from the Lonestone Tax Increment Financing District. Giesen noted the final development agreement will be up for consideration at the next council meeting. • A public hearing was set for October 8 for a business subsidy request made by EZ Fabricating as recommended by the EDA.

ing option two, which did not include funding for the parkland acquisition. Mayor Russ Smith noted the obvious that the biggest bump in the levy is due to the $284,000 payment on the swimming pool referendum bonds. Novotny pointed to the fact the general levy for operation of the city would show an increase of 6.24% without the swimming pool debt payment. The council voted unanimously to adopt option two for the 2019 preliminary levy showing a 23.7% levy increase. The total levy for 2019 would be $2,032,036, which is an increase of $390,340 over 2018. A resolution to adjust the pay grid upward 3% for fulltime and part-time employees effective January 1, 2019, was approved. The increase was recommended by the Personnel/ Budget Committee to maintain its position in the marketplace. The first consideration of Ordinance 436 was approved. It provides that the mayor will be paid $5,000 per year plus $37 for each special council meeting. Each member of the city council

By Karen Reisner Chatfield councilors were faced with three options when adopting the 2019 preliminary levy at their September 24 meeting. Councilor John McBroom was absent. The first option included the staff budget and the swimming pool debt (reflecting a 22.3% levy increase). The second option also included Small City Aid replacement funding in the amount of $24,000 (reflecting a 23.7% levy increase). Small City Aid from the state can be used for infrastructure/streets, but it has not been reauthorized. The third option included everything in the second option plus funding for parkland acquisition in the amount of $105,000 (reflecting a 30.1% levy increase). Councilor Paul Novotny maintained the acquisition of parkland at this point is bad timing. He continued he was not opposed to the idea and felt it was doable. The city has been looking at the purchase of 73 acres of land adjacent to Groen Park in an effort to create a regional park. Novotny suggested putting together a better plan, adding he supported adopt-

Rushford approves AcenTek agreement and fee By Kirsten Zoellner At the Monday, September 24 Rushford Council meeting, the council unanimously agreed upon a new franchise agreement with AcenTek, including the implementation of related fees. Doing so will require amendments to the city’s ordinance granting the franchise to Ace Telephone Association/AcenTek for the operation and maintenance of the cable televising system. A public hearing will be required to modify the ordinance. The previous agreement, stretching back 15 years, did not include a franchise fee. Additionally, no public, educational, and governmental fee was charged as a programming access fee. “Without a fee like that, with programming like that, we’d keep having to go out and use funds,” noted City Administrator Tony Chladek, who added a 5% fee is common for municipalities. “There should be a fee for use of the public’s right-ofway.” Options laid out in council documents included a 5% franchise fee and a $.95 per month, per user, PEG fee, graduating levels of fees over the 10-year proposed contract period, or charging no fees. Councilor Terri Benson indicated a graduating fee schedule would address issues. “If we’re going to charge for this, there has to be something consistent. I would hope that this would make it a more viable tool,” she said. “We don’t want to put a big fee on.” She motioned to set the fee schedule at a 2.5% franchise fee and a $.50 per month, per user, PEG fee for the first five years of the contract, stepping up to 5% and a $.95 PEG fee for the remaining five years. Councilor Jim O’Donnell addressed the need to personnel to utilize the equipment and service. The city is working with Rushford-Peterson Technical Director Corey Mattson and Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce Director Jen Hengel, and Chamber of Commerce Assistant Shannon Meier. “It’s been a night and day difference over the last two years, but with a lack of consistency, without a revenue source to provide updates, it may not change more than it already has,” responded Chladek. Benson added that the implementation of fees needs to be tied to a noticeable benefit. “What it can do has to be stressed,” she said. “It’s a tool our community should be taking advantage of more.” Ideas for the channel include increased promotional marketing for city, school, and organization events, coverage of concerts, athletic events, and both school board and council meetings. “We’ve got the creative juices going already, but without a revenue source, it won’t go anywhere,” noted Chladek. The agreement would be effective July 1, however the fee would begin at a later date. Councilor Sally Ryman suggested the city stagger fee implementation oppo-

site the end of AcenTek’s marketing credits for recently upgraded service. The fees will be collected on 440 City of Rushford customer accounts by AcenTek on a monthly basis. The PEG fee, which is based on gross revenue, will then be remitted to the city on a quarterly basis. The revenue will aid in maintenance of equipment and enhancement of programming. Also approved at the meeting was the proposed tax levy for 2019. The levy was set at $913,000 last year and city staff is proposing a 2.52% increase, or $936,000. This equates to a 5.43% reduction in debt service and a 2.91% increase in operating expenses for a net increase of 2.52%. The increase represents a $25,821 increase to the general fund to aid with tree removal and replanting expenses, as well as wage and benefit increases, a $6,000 bump to the Library Fund, $5,000 to the Economic Development Authority Fund, and $10,000 to Capital Projects. The Debt Service Fund is coming down $23,821 due to reconfigured bond debts, while Airport and Levee funds are holding steady. City Clerk Kathy Zacher noted this amount is preliminary and a final amount won’t be certified to the county until until December. Should a 2.52% increase be approved at that time, it doesn’t directly correlate to an increase of the same rate on property owners’ tax assessments. “We want to have enough cushion. We can’t go higher, but can reduce the number prior to the December meeting. There are legitimate needs and purposes for the increase generated by the 2.52%.” The council also approved a number of other agreements, including a renewal of the grant contract for the Valley Crest Riders Snowmobile Grant-InAid Program, for which the city serves as a fiscal agent, and a step increase for Roger Knutson, Public Works Director. Knutson’s increase was reviewed in 2017 by the Personnel Committee and is effective retroactive to September 1. This brings his grade position in line with market rates for his position and outlined duties. Both Administrator Chladek and Mayor Chris Hallum noted they’d discussed recent complaints from Rushford Manor Apartments with Police Chief Adam Eide. Chladek noted he is satisfied with the law enforcement being provided and that Life Style, Inc. property management out of Owatonna will have to address issues from the business standpoint. “We’re still looking at other options or alternatives,” added Chladek. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, October 9, due to the Columbus Day holiday. Please note the change from the regular Monday meeting. The public is encouraged to attend.

Fillmore County Sports M-C VB “Silver” Champions at Showcase The Class A Showcase brings together some of the best smallschool volleyball teams in the state for a two-day t o u r n e y. The Trende Lonnie Report Morken’s M - C C o u gars are a perennial e n t r a n t . This year marked t h e i r Paul Trende seventh straight inclusion in the event. Despite heading to Burnsville with likely their shortest team of the seven years, M-C trekked home standing a little taller. On Friday night, in pool play, the Cougars beat Underwood (25-16, 25-8) and Stephen-Argyle Central (2514, 25-20). Saturday morning they fell to #2 in Class A Minneota (14-25, 12-25). The 2-1 record put M-C in the secondtiered “Silver” bracket. There they beat #4 in Class A New Life Academy (22-25, 25-18, 15-10) and then Kittson County Central (25-19, 25-16). The Coug’s took home the Silver title (5th place), going 4-1; their best Showcase record the past seven years. In 2012 and 2013, they went 4-2 and took fourth. Minneota took home the Gold title. Records of M-C’s foes (posttourney) are; Minneota (17-1), Kittson County (16-5), New Life (11-6), Stephen-Argyle (126), Underwood (8-8). Section 1A teams W-K (11-4) and L-A (10-6) also competed, each going 2-3 overall. Cougar tournament leaders were Lexi Thorson (20 kills, 15 aces, 46 digs), Kenidi McCabe (9 kills, 39 digs, 114 assists), Payton Danielson (31 kills, 39 digs, 36-36 serving), Maddy Michels (33 kills), Hannah Snell (46 digs, 39-40 serving), Sarina Stortz (20 kills), Jordyn Newgard (20 kills), and Lauren Wyffels (23 digs). Michels hit .446, making the All-Tourney team. Thorson had a seven-ace game (Underwood), a six-ace game (NLA), and a 16-dig match (Stephen-Argyle). McCabe had 33 assists and 16 digs (N.L.A.). Ten of Stortz’s 20 kills came versus New Life. M-C also beat Houston a few days earlier in SEC action (2517, 25-9, 25-16). Michels (8 kills), Thorson (7 kills, 11 digs), Snell (20-20 serving, 3 aces), Danielson (11 digs, 3 aces), Wyffels (10 digs), and McCabe (4 kills, 9 digs, 22 assists) did the big work. Houston was led by Ariel Scanlan (8 assists, 7 digs), Alyssa Rostad (14 digs), and Jenny Albrecht (6 kills). The Cougars (8-0, 18-2) are fast approaching 20 wins while still in September. They lead Spring Grove (7-1, 18-2) in the SECEast.

FC VB Stays TRC Perfect

To start the season, the volleyball race in the TRC was up for grabs. No team brought back a definitive favorite. Midway through the year, things are shaping up. The top five teams are W-K, FC, Caledonia, SC, and L-A. Travis Malley’s Falcons stayed TRC perfect with two more wins. The Falcons knocked off PEM easily, 25-18, 25-6, 25-13. Madison Scheevel (21 assists, 10 digs), Paige Donlinger (10 kills), Stella Schrüfer (8 kills), and K.J. Corson (7 digs, 23-24 serving, 3 aces) led the way. FC then faced its second top-tier team this year, at Lewiston-Altura. The Cardinals returned a majority of last year’s 18-11 squad. The teams battled to a five-set finish. FC started game one 5-1, but L-A had a mid-set 5-0 run for an 18-13 lead. The Cards got to set-point (24-18), only for FC’s Donlinger to score five straight points (four kills, block), making it 24-23. L-A sophomore Ella Miller ended the run with a block, giving L-A game one 25-23. In game two, Falcon foreign exchange student Stella Schrüfer’s six-point, four-ace serving session was critical (FC up 12-7). It keyed a 25-21 win. Game three was tied early (1, 6, 8) and late (18, 19, 23). Backto-back points by the Card’s including a second Miller block game-winner gave the home team another 25-23 win, a 2-1 lead. In game four, FC’s serving, or L-A’s suspect serve receive, was again critical. Corson had a four-point serving run midset (15-10 FC). Scheevel followed with a two ace serving session (19-12). FC prevailed

25-18, sending the match to five. There, the Card’s held an 8-5 lead. A critical juncture came with it 8-7. Miller again had a big ace block, but it was annulled by her net violation. FC tied the game 8-8. With it 10-10, Donlinger scored a kill, then a three-point serving session, a 4-0 Falcon run. L-A got to down 14-12, but a Schrüfer block capped the comeback win. FC prevailed 3-2 (23-25, 25-21, 23-25, 25-18, 15-12). The Falcons won 3-2 last year too after trailing 2-1. Donlinger, just 5’3”, was FC’s best (match-high 18 kills, 18 digs). Scheevel (31 assists, 21-22 serving, 4 aces, 11 digs), Schrüfer (8 kills, 18-20 serving, 6 aces), and Corson (match-high 29 digs, 18-20 serving, 3 aces) did big work for FC. Hadley Yoder added 6 kills. Ciarra McNally (16 kills), Myia Ruzek (11 kills, 3 ½ blocks), Miller (5 kills, 5 blocks), and Gabby Speltz (14 assists, 18 digs) paced L-A. The Cardinals had 14 blocks to FC’s 6. The Falcons had 14 aces to L-A’s one. McNally scored 14 of her kills in the first three sets. The TRC league race (9/25) is W-K (5-0, 11-4), FC (5-0, 10-6), Caledonia (4-1, 9-6), St. Charles (4-1, 6-5), and L-A (4-2, 10-6).

Tuohy, #7 Gophers Find “O” Versus Z-M

Through the first three weeks, Chatfield football posted defensive wins by scores of 21-7, 13-6, and 14-0. They put up 48 total points. In week four, they found the offense. The groundgame, led by senior Gage Tuohy, gashed Zumbrota-Mazeppa for 42 points. The first stanza was See SPORTS Page 25 

back-and-forth. The scoring, Chatfield never behind, went 6-0, 6-6, 14-6, 21-6, 21-13, and 28-13. The 28-point half was more points than Chatfield had in any of their first three games. A 22-point second quarter was more than any of their first three games. Tuohy, who missed most of last year per an injury, put up his fourth straight 100-yard game. The 5’11” 195-pound senior rolled to career-effort, 21 carries for 246 yards and 4 TDs. He had the Gophers first and last three TD runs including a 58-yard scamper. Backfield mate Carson Larrabee rolled to 122 yards on just six carries including a highlight reel 96-yard TD run. Reid Johnson added a short TD run as Chatfield, with just one punt, zapped Z-M 42-13. First downs were close, Chatfield 15, Z-M 14. Total yards wasn’t as close, Chatfield 447, Z-M 269. The Gophers, Caledonia, and St. Charles are tied (all 3-0, 4-0) atop the Southeast-White. It’s Cal at Chat in week five.

#6 Trojans Roll, Showdowns Ahead

There is going to be a trio of MSE-East showdowns in the second half of the season. Weeks five (#4 Goodhue at #5 Blooming Prairie), six (#6 R-P at #4 Goodhue), and eight (#6 R-P at #5 BP) will all feature really big District/Section games. In week four, Davin Thompson’s Trojans took their next step toward entering that week six game with Goodhue, undefeated, by blanking W-K. A scoreless first gave way to a 21-point second by team Trojan. Ethan Sense had a 6-yard TD run. An ensuing Ethan Hermanson interception set up a Landon Skalet to Hermanson

11-yard TD pass. After a W-K three and out, Skalet connected with Kobe Lind from 23-yards out. The Trojans added a pair of fourth quarter scores to prevail 34-0. Hermanson posted the rare two-pair game (8-110, 2 TDs receiving, 2 interceptions). Skalet was 11 for 22 for 149 yards, 3 TDs, and an INT. Sense carried his typical ground load (19-143, TD rushing) with support from Triton Meldahl (6-67, 61-yard TD run). R-P’s offensive balance was solid (149 yards passing, 231 rushing). The defense collected four turnovers. R-P, Goodhue, and BP are all tied atop the MSE-East (4-0).

#5 Hurricanes Blank Cougars, Move to 4-0

At the half, Houston football led Mabel-Canton 16-0. But the 5th-ranked ‘Canes weren’t that in control. Twice, the Cougars reached the red zone, only to come up empty-handed. It also took Houston 19 plays to post score #1, impressive, but probably not as quick as the fastpaced ‘Canes would like. In the second half, points came more frequently as Houston shutout M-C 42-0. James Hongerholt authored both of the ‘Canes first half scores (4-yard TD run, 27-yard TD pass to Caiden Olson). Houston’s ground-game wore out M-C. Four runners, Jaytin Millen (15-114, TD), Joey Fishel (15102, TD), Aaron Francis (1269), and Hongerholt (12-32, TD rushing, 2-5, 34 yards, TD, INT passing) had double digit carries. A fifth, Ben Walters (6-48, TD rushing) found paydirt. Houston rushed for 380 yards on 63 carries. The defense recorded four sacks (Walters two), a safety, and an interception. M-C had 35 yards after halftime and managed just over 100 yards rushing. Gavin Johnson (18-74 yards) led the Cou-

gars. Houston and #1 in 9-Man Spring Grove (both 3-0, 4-0) are tied atop the South-East. M-C falls to 1-2, 2-2.

Hot Shots

Senior Tyler Raaen turned eight carries into four rushing TDs, as FC football beat Kingsland 41-6. The Falcons are 2-2, Kingsland 0-3, 0-4. Freshman J.T. Rein ran for 195 yards and a TD, Carson Schwichtenberg accounted for three scores, as Lanesboro beat L-O 26-6. The Burros had both a 100-yard rusher (Rein) and a 100-yard receiver (Andrew Luck). Lanesboro is 1-2, 2-2. R-P volleyball notched TRC wins over D-E and Cotter to improve to 4-2, 11-8. Sophomore libero Alyvia Eide tallied 46 total digs in the two matches.

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Is it a violation if the third brake light quits working on a passenger vehicle? What about Sgt. Troy H. a vehicle that Christianson is equipped with a brake light(s) that flash or pulsate? Answer: The state statute says that a vehicle equipped with stop lamps or signal lamps shall at all times be maintained in good working condition. So all brake lights, including the third one, would have to be operational when activated. Flashing lights are prohibited, except on an authorized emergency vehicle, school bus, bicycle, road maintenance equipment, tow truck or towing vehicle, service vehicle, farm tractor, self-propelled farm equipment, rural mail carrier vehicle, funeral home vehicle, or on any vehicle as a means of indicating a right or left turn. Frequently walk around your vehicle and check all the lights, turn signals, license plate lights and high beams. Replace all faulty lights as soon as possible for your safety and others that share the road. Remember that cracked tail lenses must be replaced so the white light does not illuminate through.

Page 27

Law enforcement officers conduct traffic stops due to many types of equipment violations. The most common ones that I see are: • Headlights/Taillights out • Cracked tail lenses • Rear license plate lights out • Cracked windshield • Window tint violations • Suspended objects from rearview mirror • No seatbelt use • Bumper height violations • Unsecured loads The Minnesota State Patrol does not issue, “Fix It Tickets.” All of our traffic stops are stored in our computer system, so all MSP past contacts can be viewed by troopers on current traffic stops. For example, if a vehicle was stopped for a window tint violation and that vehicle is stopped again, that trooper can see if a citation or warning was issued and when it occurred. This helps us make the decision if a citation or warning will be issued due to prior contacts with that vehicle and driver. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. 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, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us.

Luckily, we have some partnerships that help us along the way. Fillmore County partners with Winona County for our collection events. Winona County has a dedicated Hazardous Waste Facility for use by its county residents. Their staff comes to every event to offer their expertise and assist with the collection, sorting, and disposal of hazardous waste. After all the waste has been collected, sorted, and packaged, Veolia Environmental Services picks up the waste and transports it for disposal. Depending on the material, the hazardous waste is recycled, reused, or destroyed. If there is an opportunity to recycle or beneficially use any of the items we collect, that is done so by Veolia. An example of beneficial reuse is safely burning some of the materials to
