Spring Valley Council declines housing grant By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

At the regular meeting of the Spring Valley City Council on October 8, the council chose not to support a grant submission for a Workforce Housing Development Program, as previously outlined by developer Jeff Allman. All council members were present (Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Jessy Betts, Mike Hadland and City Administrator Deb Zimmer). Resolution 2018-29 stated, in part, “Whereas the Spring Valley EDA has been working with developer Jeff Allman to develop

housing on a vacant lot in the downtown area, and whereas such a project would utilize the assistance of TIF with the city willing to move forward with the legal procedures in the establishment of a TIF district, and whereas the project would require a change to the city code to allow housing on the first floor of the structure with the planning and zoning holding a public hearing to establish a finding of facts to determine the recommendation to council of such a change…” The EDA recommendation suggested a See HOUSING Page 11 

County supports “Small Town and Regional Vitality Investment Act” By K aren R eisner

On the football field from 2008 to 2011, Fillmore Central Football Head Coach Chris Mensink helped Zach build a foundation as a fullback on offense and as a linebacker on defense. According to Coach Mensink, “Zach went through a growth spurt his junior and senior years. He was about 145 pounds as a sophomore, 165 pounds as a junior, and See OLSTAD Page 10 

At their October 9 meeting, the county board passed a resolution in support of the Small Town and Regional Vitality Investment Act of 2018. Support for this act will be left on the desk for Minnesota’s next First District Congressman. EDA director Marty Walsh explained this bill (H.R. 6383) is intended to redirect block grant money. Federal block grant money would go directly to local government units to deal with the problems and challenges specific to their community. The responsibility to designate the use of the funding would come to the local government, empowering local leaders. Commissioner Duane Bakke said there would be a list of things the money can be used

It’s a rarity to have an athlete from any rural community rise to stardom at a professional level. So, when it does happen, people take notice. There hasn’t been a professional football player with Fillmore County, Minn., roots since a Rushford-Peterson High School prodigy named Steve Heiden was drafted as a tight end to play in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers (1999-2001) and eventually the Cleveland Browns (20022009). Heiden is still close to the game, serving as the assistant offensive line coach for the

Arizona Cardinals. Now, there’s a new kid on Fillmore County’s NFL roster, and his name is Zach Olstad. Hailing from Harmony, Minn., he has a remarkable story. Fillmore Central High School The son of Heath and Melanie Olstad, Zach is the youngest of three children. While growing up in the rural farming community of Harmony, Zach worked on the family farm, painted houses with his father and Tris Tollefson, and worked at the Harmony Transit bus garage for Mark and Donna Scheevel.

for and the county board would determine where that money goes. Rural communities could use the funding to provide affordable child care, housing opportunities, broadband, or waste water treatment operation and maintenance, to name a few of the possibilities. Walsh added there will be a requirement for Comprehensive Planning. This bill if pursued would be tied to the next Farm Bill which is four to five years away. Congressman Tim Walz and his staff have met with leaders and constituents in southern Minnesota’s rural communities through town hall meetings. They have concluded that rural towns have a variety of challenges, one size doesn’t fit all. Walz leaves this bill on the desk of the next First District

Congressman. Support for the bill from a number of local government units will also be on that desk to help drive the bill forward. “Fillmore County supports an initiative for the federal government to properly invest in small communities.” With this Act the USDA Rural Development would administer revenue sharing grants to local and regional governments. Citizens Input Bonnie Haugen, Canton Township, and Michelle Hockersmith, Preble Township, updated the board on the Catalpa, LLC project. Haugen said 772 public comments have been sent to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) expressing concerns about the proposed 4,980 sow farrowing operation in Newburg Township.

Stewardship Project sent a letter to Governor Mark Dayton requesting an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the proposed large feedlot. He was asked to weigh in with the MPCA. Haugen said they feel the MPCA is disregarding the process it is required to follow. She declared the standard has been met making an EIS mandatory. The project has the potential for significant environmental effects. Haugen listed eight reasons including demand from local residents for an EIS and the fact that five local government units have stated an EIS is necessary. She thanked the board for past action on behalf of our water, air, and soil/land. Bakke noted that the MPCA did order further investigations and did an Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) test. The test was done to map subsurface materials within the planned site to see if significant Karst

Haugen maintained the study was not as complete as it should have been in their expert’s opinion. Hockersmith added there are many other concerns that have not been addressed. Bakke said at the next public meeting the MPCA will have to answer those concerns. Other business in brief • Emergency Manager Don Kullot requested approval of the 2018 Emergency Management Performance Grant agreement. The grant is applied for annually and is a 50/50 sharing grant used to help fund EM position, training, and conferences. The agreement for the grant in the amount of $21,402 was approved. Kullot said he would like to get a generator for the Fillmore County Office Building. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman said funds for the generator have been included in the budget, under infrastructure. They can be used if no grant is secured. Kullot added he wants to research the cost of a drone for next year. It would be helpful in search and rescue, during floods, and could possibly be used by other departments like soil and water and highway.

C ommentary School discipline in Minnesota: Are students victimized by state government? By Jeff Erding Wykoff, MN A recent commentary of mine evaluated the effectiveness of certain policies, among which was race based school discipline. An article by authors Katherine Jeff Erding Kersten and Catrin Thorman in the fall issue of Thinking Minnesota documents the issue. Anyone who cares about our children and their education should be horrified by the egregious conduct of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights [MDHR]. MDHR is using bullying tactics to impose a radical ideology on schools that has wreaked havoc across America and failed to achieve improved performance by minority students. Everywhere implemented, race based discipline has resulted in increased violence, chaos in classrooms, and students who feel free to act out, disrespect, threaten, and assault school personnel. Here is a direct quote by the authors. “MDHR claims 43 schools are disciplining black and Native American students above their proportion of the student population. These racial disparities, it says, are caused by racially discriminatory policies, not differences in student misconduct.” MDHR sent letters to the schools, threatening legal action unless radical changes in policy are made. So far at least 37 schools have caved in and signed on to the radical plans Editorial Cartoon

that insist in a reduction for discipline of minority students, presumeably to levels commensurate with their percentage of population. [How ironic that union dues of teachers who are the subject of these defamatory allegations go to support the politicians and candidates who author them!] Does State or Federal law support MDHR efforts on the issue? The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 1997 decision that, “Racial disciplinary quotas violate equity in its root sense. They entail either systematically overpunishing the innocent or systematically underpunishing the guilty. They place race at war with justice.” Minnesota law prohibits schools from treating a student differently “on the basis of their race, sex, or other protected characteristics.” In order to justify their radical policy, MDHR must use racial bigotry by schools as the excuse. The actual goal? MDHR Commissioner Lyndsey is quoted in the article as saying the policy “will help build a stronger Minnesota that is ready to embrace the dramatic demographic changes in our near future as our population ages and becomes more diverse.” Dear readers, how do unelected bureaucrats become empowered to enact social planning like this? The short answer is from our current governor and attorney general. Now a short review of the track record of race based discipline. Implemented in 2014 in Syracuse, N.Y., violence

exploded. By 2015, a union survey of teachers found 57% had been threatened, 36% assaulted, many verbally and sexually harassed. A teacher was stabbed in 2017. New York City experienced similar if not more serious problems. Closer to home, the St. Paul school district implemented a sister program in 2010 financed with millions of district dollars. The results? Miserable failure. Teacher Aaron Benner, an African American, wrote in the Pioneer Press, “There is no limit to the number of times a disruptive student will be returned to your class.” He further stated that safety, not teaching, had become his main concern. Mr. Benner has since resigned from teaching. Can’t say I blame him. He was a fourth grade teacher. A recent Thinking Minnesota poll of 500 registered voters touched on nine specific areas of concern to Minnesotans, one of which addressed using racial quotas for disciplining students. The results show that Minnesotans reject it by the resounding total of 59 points, a strong indication that some of our political leaders are way out of step with the majority of state citizens. The other eight issues addressed by the poll touch on areas of concern that are very revealing. I urge readers to visit AmericanExperiment.org to evaluate the methods and results of the poll. Our leaders need to hear from us on racial discipline and other important issues, and it occurs to me an excellent oppurtunity to do so will soon be here. God Bless until next time, Jeff

Men are from Mars – Women are from Venus By Yvonne Nyenhuis The relationship between men and women has been a source of exploration and controversy since the advent of Adam and Eve. As a young woman I found myself destined to be part of the action. One evening I was with friends at the Ocean Grill in Vero Beach, Yvonne Fla., when a Nyenhuis young man approached our table. “There is someone who would like to meet you. Within minutes I found myself on the dance floor chatting with Johnny Podres. He was considered a baseball hero, having pitched the winning game in 1955 against the Yankees and securing the World Series for Brooklyn. I agreed to go out with him and two days later found myself sitting beside him in a bar having a cocktail. Skipping over the preliminary polite conversation he got right to what was on his mind. He said calmly “I want to make love to you.” I was used to parrying attempts at seduction but the direct approach caught me off guard. It was a short evening. After two years in the sunshine state I returned to my parents home in Pennsylvania. Finding myself unemployed, I decided to seek assistance from an employment agency regarding work as a fashion illustrator. I was sent to an address. When I emerged from the elevator on the second floor I found myself in a central area surrounded by empty offices. I was approached by a young man, tall with dark hair, who invited me to take a seat, motioning me toward a plastic settee and offering me a glass of Mogen David wine. He then proceeded with the interview. He explained to me that some women while waiting for their “ideal” job took on temporary work such as “modeling.” Some women modeled gloves or shoes. He suggested that I should consider modeling bras. He then went on to request that I should strip to the waist so he could see if I was qualified! I replied that I was qualified but that he would have to take my word for it! I took a final sip of wine and made a hasty retreat. I was angry at being “set up” but decided not to confront the agency. I figured they were complicit in my experience. As it turned out, I was hired by Penn Novelty, a factory located near Fairmont Park in Philadelphia, as an embroidery designer. I rented an apartment on Spruce Street on the second floor looking out on a backyard with bushes and shade trees. The main room was large, lined with high windows

and had a fireplace. I had the parquet floors redone and painted the walls. I loved designing embroidery. One of our main clients was “Ship and Shore” blouses. I would stop by department stores and note with satisfaction that there were blouses on the shelves with my designs. Twice a year, the president of Ship and Shore, John Netzky, would honor us with a visit. He would arrive with much fanfare, an entourage and someone carrying his briefcase. On one occasion he stopped by my drawing table to exchange a few pleasantries. After he left, my boss seemed pleased to report to me, “John Netzky would like you to be his mistress!” He went on to say that I should seriously consider his offer. “He is a man of influence and could do great things for you!” Through my “single” years I continued to be surprised by men’s assumptions where I was concerned. Couldn’t they see it was plainly etched into my forehead, “I’m not that kind of girl!” I navigated the male – female divide until I was 30, at which time I acquired a husband. What surprises me today, 50 years later, women’s rights are still at risk. The present administration in Washington is a pack of wolves howling at the gates determined to devour us. If we care about equal pay and controlling our reproductive health we need to send representatives to Congress who will protect us.

C ommentary Red Cross calls for winter heroes to host blood drives and save lives Looming shortfall of blood drives could impair patient care Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. To help meet the constant demand for lifesaving blood donations and prevent blood shortages this winter, the American Red Cross is urging individuals and organizations to be winter heroes by hosting a blood drive. Right now, the Red Cross needs about 6,500 additional groups across the country to host blood drives in December, January and February to ensure blood will be there for patients who rely on blood products. In this area, about 500 more blood drive hosts are needed. During the winter, there is often a decrease in the number of blood drives, which can contribute to blood shortages.

“When someone hosts a blood drive, they give donors a chance to donate lifesaving blood, in turn helping to save dozens or even hundreds of lives,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Biomedical Services. “Blood shortages are not uncommon during the winter months, and these shortages could cause delays in patient care. But with the help of volunteer blood drive partners, the Red Cross can be better prepared to meet patient needs all winter long.” To learn more about hosting a blood drive and to sign up, visit RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive. Blood drive partners who host a drive between Dec. 20 and Jan. 6 will receive long-sleeved Red

The yellow garden spider, Argiope aurantia, spins a large, sticky, strong, and very intricate web up to 2 feet in diameter. This type of spider is called an “orbweaver” and also a “writing spider” because her silk sometimes looks like writing. She catches and eats big things like grasshoppers, up to twice her size - things that can do a lot of damage to garden plants. So be happy she’s in your garden if you find her. She does have a venomous bite but this spider is likely to leave you alone and save her venom for her food which she has to liquefy before eating. Yuck!

Cross T-shirts for all who come to give, and if the partner achieves its donation goal, it will be recognized in a national newspaper highlighting its lifesaving work. Hosting a blood drive Because more than 80% of blood donations are made at blood drives hosted by volunteers, blood drive partners play a vital role in helping ensure a sufficient blood supply for patients in need. In addition to helping save lives, organizations that host blood drives can also build goodwill in their community, bringing people together around a central cause. Organizing a blood drive is easier than many expect, and blood drive coordinator Joe Turner agrees. Since 2016, Turner has hosted an annual blood drive at his church in memory of his father, Woody, who battled cancer for many years and needed platelets during treatment. “Hosting a blood drive with Red Cross is pretty simple,” said Turner. “The donor recruitment manager takes care of the drive logistics, and I help by asking my friends and family to schedule an appointment to give blood at the drive.” A Red Cross representative works with the host every step of the way, providing planning assistance, tools to recruit blood donors, equipment and supplies, and the trained staff needed to

screen donors and collect donations. Blood drive hosts provide a large, open location, identify volunteers to support donor recruitment, and recruit and schedule blood donors. Turner actively recruits blood donors for the drive using social media, flyers and a SleevesUp campaign. “I would encourage those who are thinking about hosting a blood drive to simply do it. Help your community. Everybody knows somebody who has needed blood, or may need blood at some point,” said Turner. “When you think of how many people can benefit from the blood donations given at one drive, that’s most rewarding to me.”

In the past 8 years, while Justin Zmyewski has been our commissioner, the county portion of our property taxes has gone up by more than 20%! I confirmed this figure with the Houston County Treasurer’s office. While Mr. Zmyewski will tell us he votes no on tax levy increases, what he forgets to mention is the policies he supports result in the need for levy increases. For example, the county board recently hired a county administrator to handle many of the responsibilites we elected the commissioners to handle. This county administrator came at a cost exceeding $150,000.00. When Mr. Zmyewski was asked at a June 5, 2008, board meeting about taking a pay cut, he argued the commissioners were underpaid and that we are lucky he is not asking for backpay! Don’t believe me, watch that meeting posted online. While Mr. Zmyewski will brag about how he lowered the tax levy by 0.5% for 2018, will he also brag about the county budget deficit of $900,000.00? Will he brag about how the county board has to increase the tax levy a propsed 6.9% for 2019? It seems to me Mr. Zmyewski is only effective at lowering the tax levy in an election year. Meanwhile, the policies he supports require the other commissioners to vote for increases in order to balance the budget. After 8 years of Justin, it is time for a change! Please vote for Eric Johnson on November 6th!

Paid for by Franklin Hahn • Houston, MN Dear Lanesboro Community,

It has been an honor to serve you over the last four years as a city council member and as mayor. I am sure you are all aware we have an election quickly approaching, on November 6 this year. What you may not know is the mayor and two council seats are up for election; only one person applied for mayor, and only one person applied for the two council seats (the council seats are at-large, so whoever gets the most votes and whoever gets the second most votes get the seats). I decided not to run for mayor, because I need to focus on other areas of my life. However, having only one person on the ballot for city council member scares me. A small group of people could create a secret write-in campaign, and that person may only get ten votes, but that could win the election. I have a major problem with the lack of transparency this creates, and the possible self-serving agenda(s) that will follow. Therefore, I made the decision to run for one of the open council seats, as a write-in candidate. I am sure many of you do not agree with decisions I made over the last four years while being on the council, and that is great! Like-mindedness frightens me, and I am glad we all do not all think the same. I do hope most people realize I tried to make every decision for the betterment of our entire community. I value everyone's opinion, and I hope you feel comfortable letting me know your thoughts on issues. I will not let my vote be swayed by whoever is in the council chambers the night of the council meetings, and it is very important for the council to consider everyone else who will be effected by our decisions. As I stated two years ago, while running for mayor, our infrastructure is one of my main priorities. Of course, there are many other issues we face as a small town as well. If you want to vote for me, you need to actually write my name on the ballot. If you do not want to vote for me, that is fine too. Please, make sure you vote though. Sincerely,

Autumn Johnson

Fillmore County Sports Late Score Lifts Chatfield Past L-A By Paul Trende For a fifth time in six weeks, Chatfield football had to battle, this time at Lewiston-Altura. The Gophers rebounded from their first loss (Caledonia) with a late game win. L-A came out with two big pass plays, then The Trende Report an Evan D a l e y 2-run TD run for a 7-0 lead. Chatfield had an 11-play second quarter Paul Trende drive. Carson Larrabee’s 1-yard TD run (on 4th and goal) made it 7-6 L-A at halftime. The Gophers recovered a pooch/onside kick to start the third. Larrabee’s second TD run (16 yards) made it 12-7 Gophers. In the fourth, L-A QB Marcus Weaver hit Hunter Gerdes on around a 30-yard pass play. Gerdes fumbled. Teammate Kolton Riser picked it up and carried it the final 12 yards to pay dirt. With 4:37 left, L-A held its second one-point lead, 13-12. But Chatfield rallied in crunch time. Gage Tuohy, Chatfield’s work-horse, authored a

trio of 10-plus-yard runs. Larrabee then scored on a 20-yard TD dash (2:45). The Gophers again went ahead, 18-13. L-A got two cracks from there. A Ben Brogan interception dashed the first. Chance Backer (who hits hard and often) recorded a game-ending sack to preserve the 18-13 win. Tuohy (careerhighs 38 carries, 216 yards, ten first downs) didn’t put the furniture exactly where it needed to be, but he lugged it up and down the stairs. The 5’11” 195-pound senior had a minimum eight carries and 46 yards every quarter. Backfield mate Larrabee (12-58, 3 TDs) did all the scoring. Nathan Goldsmith had a sack and a fumble recovery, Brogan and Seth Allen interceptions. The Gopher defense held L-A to 76 rushing yards. The Cardinals threw for 180 yards behind Weaver (1122, 184 yards, INT). Chatfield had just 33 passing yards, but 317 on the ground. The #12 Gophers (4-1, 5-1) trail #1 Caledonia (5-0, 6-0) and #6 SC (5-0, 6-0) in the SoutheastWhite.

guaranteed a share of the division. The Cougars got by their last best test at Spring Grove, a battle of 20-2 teams. Lonnie Morken’s crew snuck out game one (25-23), dropped game two (13-25), the rare convincing set win over M-C. The visitors then rallied to take games three (25-18) and four (25-16) convincingly. M-C swept the season league series with a 3-1 win. Lexi Thorson (career-high 13 kills, 13 digs), Payton Danielson (12 kills, 13 digs), and Maddy Michels (11 kills) led the offense. It was M-C’s first threegirl 10-plus-kill match of the year. The Cougars had a seasonhigh 48 total kills. Sophomore

setter Kenidi McCabe had a super-rare 30-30 (season-high 38 assists, career-high 30 digs). Hannah Snell (15 digs) and Lauren Wyffels (10 digs) gave M-C five girls with double-digit digs. The team had a seasonhigh 93 digs. Mariah Edgington (15 kills, 23 digs, 9 blocks) and Kailee Olerud (23 assists, 20 digs) paced SG. After dropping three of four at M-C’s tourney, the Cougars have won six of the last seven sets versus SG. M-C then had no problem with Lanesboro (25-6, 25-17, 25-13), led by Danielson (5 kills, 10 digs, 13-13 serving, 4 aces), McCabe (22 assists, 16-16 serving, 4 aces), Jordyn Newgard (5 kills), Thorson (4 kills, 4 aces), Michels and Sarina Stortz (4 kills each). Lexie Johnson

(5 kills), Payton Benson (15 digs), Peighton Prestemon (13 digs), and Ella Cambern (10 asissts) led the Burros. Fifthranked M-C (12-0, 22-2) leads SG (9-2, 21-3) in the SEC East.

The first week of October featured multiple volleyball games between FCJ covered teams. R-P beat Chatfield 3-1 (19-25, 25-17, 25-16, 31-29). The Gophers were down 22-16 in game four only to tie at 24. It took R-P eight match points to post victory.

LARP’s Luke O’Hare crosses the finish line with his fifth straight cross country first place (Ole Olmstead Invite). The sophomore is probably Section 1A’s top 5000-meter runner, having beaten the top seven returning runners from last year’s Section Meet. O’Hare’s times are consistently in the low 17:00s.

Knights Rally From Down 24

Last year, Kingsland football won a game, a big step after a string of winless seasons. Big step two; a huge comeback win. In a battle of 0-5 teams, Cotter led the Knights 30-6 in the second quarter. Kingsland then scored 27 unanswered points! Touchdown runs by Dallas Jones (47 yards) and Nick Ramaker (1 yard) made it 30-20 at halftime. Jones’ third TD run made it 30-26 Cotter. William Jahn hit Reid Kruegel for what proved to be the game-winning TD. A Knight fumble recovery late on a punt return iced it. Kingsland stopped Cotter thrice on 4th down in the second half. They rallied on the road in memorable fashion, 33-30. The junior Jones (16-104 yards, 3 TDs rushing) led the way. Jahn (5-9, 122 yards, TD, INT passing) and Nick Ramaker (5-9, 91 yards passing, rushing TD) split the QB duties. Kruegel (3-58, TD receiving), Lucas Howard (2-63 receiving), and Reed Merkel (2-43 receiving) made the catches. Cotter won 46-0 last season. Brent Stinson’s group improves to 1-4, 1-5.

The Wildcats got a 24-yard Sam Opsahl to Carter Danielson TD pass in the second. Goodhue led 6-0 at halftime with R-P having a single first down. The Trojans’ first second half drive went seven plays, 58 yards. Carter Weidemann’s 4th and one, 22-yard TD run (plus PAT), made it 7-6 R-P. Goodhue answered quickly; a 50-yard Sam Opsahl to Kyle Schoenfelder TD-pass (plus two), making it 14-7. Twice in the fourth, R-P made Goodhue territory. In the final minute, they failed on a 4th and 1 at the Wildcat 19. R-P dropped its first, 14-7.

his senior season was listed at 196 pounds. Zach was a player that took advantage of every opportunity and repetition he was given in practice. I think what set him apart from the competition was his work ethic and desire to prepare. He prepared in the weight room, on the field, and in film study. He put a lot of time in to preparing his body and his mind to compete. I think that is what makes a great player. People do not see the time and what goes in to preparation for competition.” Winona State University Upon graduation in the spring of 2012, Olstad was off and running at WSU. At WSU, Zach made a name for himself with the help of Warrior Football Head Coach Tom Sawyer. In 2012, he red-shirted. In 2013, he had a breakout season playing as a hybrid fullback/ tight end. In 2014, 2016, and 2017, he was posting respectable yardage and touchdown statistics for the good of the WSU program. In 2015, he had to work on recovering from a season-hindering injury. From the first year he stepped on the football field at WSU to his senior year, he transitioned from a 205-pound young man into a 245-pound battering ram. He gained some height, too. While playing for the WSU Warriors, Olstad wore the number of his favorite NFL player, Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback Mike Alstott. From 1996 to 2007, Alstott (#40) was known for rumbling, bumbling, and tumbling his way into the end zone 58 times. ESPN Sportscaster Chris Berman used to say, “You’re in good hands with Alstott” as he dismantled defenses. Watching Zach at WSU, Berman could have easily said “You’re in good hands with Olstad!” And, during his time at WSU, he received the distinction of NSIC All-Academic (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017). At the end of his collegiate career, he was recognized with 2018 NSIC Honorable Mention and 2018 NSIC Myles Brand All-Academic Distinction Award. He majored in physical education, health education, adaptive physical education, and coach-

Buffalo Bills Winona State University would not be the end of Olstad’s football career. He had greater aspirations to play at the professional level. Olstad explained, “In early January (2018), I began training at ETS in Oakdale, Minn., with Ryan Englebert and Trevor Glomski. We had a pro day group that trained four days a week in the cities. It was a leap of faith moving away from home to strictly train with little to no money. But I knew if I was going to try to get an opportunity in the NFL, I wasn’t going to do it halfway and I was willing to sacrifice. Training went well, and I got much faster and much stronger. Pro day went well.” He connected with the Institute For Athletes, the same agency that represents Minnesota Vikings Adam Thielen. IFA President Blake Baratz and his team worked diligently to help Olstad get a shot in the NFL. At first, it sounded like he may get a call from the Bears, the Saints, or the Jets. Instead, it was the Buffalo Bills who invited Olstad to a rookie mini-camp. The rookie mini-camp was three intense days, and Olstad competed with 30 other outstanding players for one shot on the Buffalo Bills roster. After three days of meetings, lifting, and executing numerous plays, the Bills coach gathered all of the rookies and told them that a scout would approach those who would be sticking around. Sure enough, Olstad was approached. It was an unbelievably humbling moment for Olstad when he realized he was going to have a real shot in the NFL, “After the scout approached me and said to go see the trainers, I sat with the head trainer who went to school at Northern State — the same conference as Winona State University -— and he kept saying, ‘I’m so happy for you.’ I didn’t really get it. I was like what’s happening and what are we doing. He said we are taking you to see the team doctor, because they are going to sign you. I didn’t believe him. I knew that’s why the scout came up to me in the first place, but it just didn’t hit me.” Olstad’s dream was starting to become a reality. He had signed a contract with the Buffalo Bills, playing second string fullback behind 2015 Pro Bowler Patrick DiMarco – an eight-year veteran in the league. Everything was happening so fast, and now NFL training camp was just around the corner in late July of 2018. Fillmore Central Youth Football Camp 2018 And, despite Zach’s busy schedule, with training camp starting on July 24, 2018, he made time to attend the Fillmore Central Youth Football Camp in Harmony, Minn., on Monday, July 23, 2018. These young football players were getting a chance to hear some inspirational words from Coach Mensink and one of his

former players, Zach Olstad. After Mensink recognized a few older members of the Fillmore Central High School football team, he presented a shirt to Zach Olstad, and this is how the back of the shirt read: “The Mission of Falcon Football is to enthusiastically work and relentlessly pursue the goal of becoming the best we can be as a person, a student, a player, and a teammate for the sake of our Falcon Football Family.” All participants of the youth football camp received the same type of shirt with that same message from the coordinators of the Fillmore Central program. When Zach spoke, the players listened. Standing in his new Bills gear, Olstad kept his message focused on three talking points: 1) Players need to be coachable, 2) They need to be a great teammate, and 3) They need to find a work ethic that works for them. Olstad wanted these young athletes to realize that if they want to do something great, they need to be dedicated. “Throughout my career, even though I found balance with school, family, and friends, I would think about and study the game of football almost every waking moment of my life.” Zach is a great role model for these impressionable young athletes for a variety of reasons. First off, he’s not a gamer. Many professional athletes talk about playing video games when they are not on the field. In other media interviews, Olstad has been asked if he played PS4 or Xbox. His response, “I’m my biggest critic. To put it lightly, I would have a problem with myself sitting down for more than an hour playing something that isn’t really real. Also, I’m impatient and when I have played video games with friends, I would always get upset because I’m extremely competitive. Ha! Ha! I also most likely never got into video games because I grew up without cable TV and Internet. My parents didn’t get Internet until I was well into college and they still don’t have cable. Growing up, it was always get outside and play sports or find something on the farm to work on.” Next, in his interviews with the media, when asked about his role models, he has always referenced his family. “I’m a family man. That will never change. Levi (Zach’s brother) has been my best friend forever and has always been there for me, he also models the type of person I want to be. To say it without writing a book, people think I work hard and always commend me on my work ethic. If you think I work hard you should see my brother’s and parents’ work ethic. That’s who I try to model.” After Zach spoke to the Falcon youth football camp participants that Monday night, Coach Mensink hoped that “the kids took away that anything is possible and if you have a

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. dream, go chase it. It is going to take work and sacrifice if you really want it, but it will be worth it in the end. Kids today sometimes are afraid to fail. That is where growth happens. Zach has overcome injury and made tremendous sacrifices to get where he is. I hope all kids understand that, it may not be easy but it will be worth it. Put yourself out there, work hard and never let fear of failing stop you. A growth mindset. Zach also stressed being coachable and hard work (especially when nobody is looking). Those qualities will serve kids well in whatever path they choose. Athletics are a great platform to teach kids about life. Zach had a great message for the kids.” Back to the Bills The fullback position is one of the toughest positions on the field. They are like battering rams that block for the glory hounds, the running backs. A fullback doesn’t rack up a whole bunch of yards and touchdowns, so most football fans never hear any statistics about fullbacks.

Fortunately, Zach Olstad, at five-foot-eleven-inches tall and 245 pounds, is built like a superhero. Just throw a cape on him. And, while he can take the punishment of the game, he is still human. Four days after the Carolina Panthers game, he suffered a high ankle sprain that the doctors said would take four to eight weeks to heal. “Every day, since I came home from Buffalo, I have been focused and traveling to different doctors to heal. Chiropractors, occupational therapists, myofacial unwinding, Masgutova Method technique specialists, muscular flossing, deep tissue massage, and contrast baths are a few things I have been doing to get my ankle to 100% as soon as possible. I have been through a lot of adversity in my career and every athlete has. I approach it head on and don’t feel sorry for myself.” Olstad has battled other injuries to his shoulder and feet, so he knows about making a comeback.

Members can contact the cooperative at 1 (800) 432-2285 at any time - day, night, weekend or holiday to verify the identity of a MiEnergy employee. MiEnergy Cooperative is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative and is the result of a merger between Hawkeye REC, of Cresco, Iowa, and TriCounty Electric Cooperative, of Rushford, Minn., in 2017. It maintains 5,500 miles of power lines covering most of Fillmore, Houston and Winona counties in Minnesota and Chickasaw, Howard and Winneshiek counties in Iowa. The cooperative also serves small pockets bordering those counties. It provides electricity to more than 18,700 members in northeastern Iowa and southeastern Minnesota. MiEnergy is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.

Zimmer pointed out to the council, “The problems would be the TIF… you can’t assign it right now, you have to go through the whole legal process of having a public hearing…” Jeff Allman addressed the council about the looming deadline, saying, “The grant’s due Thursday (October 11). Minnesota Housing will allocate two dollars for every one dollar of local support…So between the 280 (thousand) in the EDA recommendation, and another four or five hundred thousand in federal funds, there’d be enough money to make this job pencil out.” Council members voiced their concerns about this request, as Todd Jones asked, “Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?” Council member Mike Hadland agreed, replying, “A lot.” Council members also voiced concerns about the availability of parking for the project, and worried it might compete with needs of the fire department. Several members of the council voiced support for the idea of new quality housing in the city, but didn’t feel comfortable approving this grant submission before other required parts of the process were done. The council voted unanimously to deny the request. The council approved Resolution 2018-27, imposing a special assessment of $4,217 upon a parcel at 312 W. Courtland owned by Marian Rowe for fire

Zimmer then informed the board of the contractor’s pay estimate of $488,004.78 for the Washington and High Streets project. She said, “At this point, they are running behind.” The council approved the pay estimate. The city was informed by the Minnesota Department of Revenue of a violation of tobacco sales regulations at Dollar General. The letter stated that the department seized 17 packs of little cigars on July 31. The packs were determined to be “contraband” due to not being properly taxed and/or stamped. After discussion, the council instructed Zimmer to send a letter to Dollar General, as is standard practice in such cases, informing the vendor that any further violations may result in suspension or revocation of their license. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m. The next regular meeting of the council will be Monday, October 22 at 6 p.m. As always, the public is welcome.

Mabel sets utility late fee By Rich Wicks On October 10, the Mabel City Council held three very brief public hearings immediately prior to the regular city council meeting. Members in attendance included Gary Morken, Mayor James Westby, City Clerk Karen Larson, Terry Torkelson and Kirsten Wyffels. Liz Folstad was absent. The first public hearing was regarding the city considering implementing late fees for utility bills. No citizens spoke to the

council regarding this issue, and the hearing was promptly closed. Next, the council opened a hearing on the rezoning request for 202 Maple Street South (Adam and Sheena Tollefson) to change it from commercial to residential. No citizens expressed an opinion on this issue, so the hearing was closed. Finally, a hearing was held regarding a variance request for the same property (Tollefsons). It was mentioned that no citizens have contested the variance, and no citizens spoke

up during the hearing, so it was closed. During the regular council meeting, the council returned to these three matters to consider taking action. Regarding the utility bill late fee, Deputy City Clerk Brock Bergey stated that the city continues to have a considerable problem with delinquent accounts, and he said it tends to be many of the same homeowners over and over. Currently, he said the city has 42 delinquent accounts, totaling over $11,000. The council discussed setting a “grace period” and when to make such a late fee go into effect. The council voted to start the new late fee of 10% on January 1, meaning that the first late fees could be enforced in February. Larson shared that the city will make every attempt to inform the public of this new fee. The council voted to approve the zoning change on the Tollefson property. Larson said she didn’t know why it had been zoned “commercial” and asked if anyone remembered a time when that property was not a residence. One citizen said the house was built around 1890. Next, the council discussed the variance request, to allow for a wrap-around porch to be built onto the house. It was mentioned that this variance would not make anything “stand out” as significantly different from the other homes up and down the block. The council voted to approve the variance.

9th Annual Tasty Temptations

Calling all the Best Cooks of Bluff Country!

Larson added, “He’s hoping to be open in Nevember.” Jeff Rein (Public Works) noted an ongoing concern that some citizens have sump pumps that empty into the sewer, instead of outside. Hydrant flushing is scheduled for October 22 through 26. A final draft of the proposed Solar Ordinance will be brought to the next council meeting for consideration. A mention was made that the annual firemen’s dance will be switched to February, with the exact date to be determined later. Council members said this change might result in a better turnout, since there are fewer events to compete with in February. The council’s next regular meeting will be November 14, at 7 p.m. at the community center. The public is welcome.

The council approved zoning permits from five homeowners (Kleiboer, Tollefson, Lange, Hansen, and Storhoff). The council also approved paying an invoice from Tollefson Construction for $77,200. Regarding the previously discussed idea of allowing downtown businesses to have a residence in the rear of a building, the council discussed Conditional Use Permits, and what fee to set for a CUP. Larson explained, “Greg (city attorney) prepared a sample form, and most cities set a fee.” After hearing that some nearby towns have a CUP fee of $100 or $150, the council opted use the form as provided, and to set a CUP fee of $100. The council approved a 3.2% off sale liquor license for the new grocery store, Lange’s Grocers.

Give hope to cancer patients by giving blood with the Red Cross October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – the perfect time to give blood or platelets to support cancer patients and others. Anna Gwinnup, a loving wife, mother and grandmother, was diagnosed with stage 1 breast

cancer in September 2017. Within weeks, it advanced to stage 2, forcing her to undergo a double mastectomy, chemotherapy and multiple surgeries, which required blood products. Though she was a blood donor prior to her diagnosis, Gwinnup

Happy Retirement Dr. Linda Sifford has officially retired after 41 years of being a Veterinarian. She and her husband Tom Sautter did wonderful things for Root River Veterinary Center and its clients through the years. Starting out in 1981 as a mostly large animal practice, to the only exclusive small animal practice in Fillmore County.Later in her career,Dr.Linda introduced acupuncture, chiropractic and herbal medicine to the already existing high quality medicine offered. We congratulate Dr. Linda on a great career and wish she and her husband Tom a HAPPY RETIREMENT that we know will continue to be full of adventures and travels.

now has a new passion for the cause. “I want to raise awareness about the need for blood to treat cancer,” she said. Cancer patients may need red blood cell or platelet transfusions during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications. Donors of all blood types are needed to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients this fall, especially after Hurricane Florence and subsequent flooding forced the cancellation of more than 6,000 blood and platelet donations last month. Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1 (800) RED CROSS (1 (800) 7332767). As a thank-you, those who come to donate blood or platelets in October will automatically be entered to win one of five $500 gift cards redeemable at hundreds of merchants.

Harmony Historical Society updates council on elevator restoration project By Hannah Wingert Ralph Beastrom, Mary Lou Zombory, and Cliff Johannessen from the Harmony Area Historical Society were present at the October 9 Harmony City Council meeting to update the council on their progress on various projects. They began by speaking about the walking tour signs. “We’re pretty happy with the way it turned out,” Beastrom said. He thanked the city for their help on the project, especially City Administrator Jerome Illg. He also noted that without the city’s help pouring the concrete pads for the signs, the society would not have been able to meet its deadline. Beastrom informed the council that he had recently received a call from someone in Hastings who had attended Harmony’s Fourth of July celebration and was impressed with the walking tour signs. They plan to create similar signs for Hastings now. The Historical Society recently received a grant that allowed them to take part in the MNopedia website project. Society member Amy Hahn wrote 14 articles about various aspects of Harmony history and submitted them to the website in June. Twelve have been published so far. Once the last two have been published, the society plans to publicize the project. “Amy did an excellent job with the articles,” Beastrom noted. The elevator restoration project is coming along slowly but surely. The elevator committee has been meeting regularly and continuing to gather information on how to get the elevator registered with the National Registry of Historical Places and apply for grants to help with the funding. Due to the large scope of the project, the society will need to apply for larger grants than normal. “There are significant requirements as to who does that work and how it gets submitted,” Beastrom said. The elevator committee has planned the restoration project in five phases that are expected to occur over an undetermined number of years. Recent drone footage of the elevator roof did not show any critical areas of concern, which is a positive sign. Beastrom asked if the council was willing to commit the city to assist with the project. “There’s too many unknowns right now to make any decisions,” council member Kyle Morem said. Beastrom hoped that the historical society would be able to come back to the council with more definitive answers about the project soon. “We do realize it’s a humongous project,” Historical Society secretary Mary Lou Zombory said. She pointed out that there are few

historical grain elevators left and so it’s important to restore the Harmony elevator. “It’s so important because this is how it (Harmony) started and then right across the street you have the juxtaposition of the new grain elevator,” she remarked. “I’m optimistic funds can be raised,” Mayor Steve Donney said. The council looks forward to hearing more about the project at a later date. A public hearing was opened during the council meeting to discuss a USDA grant which would help fund a generator at the wastewater treatment plant and other expenses around the city. No one was present with questions and so it was closed. Heidi Bly Jones introduced herself to the council during the public forum to let them know that she is running for the seat of Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer. The majority of her career has been spent in publicservice and she has served in the auditor/treasurer’s office for 11 years. She noted that she is certified by the State of Minnesota for property tax calculation and is the only person in Fillmore County who is certified. “I’m certified, I’m trustworthy, I’m principled, and I very much look forward to serving you,” Jones said. She thanked the council for their time. The council voted to approve an increase of the Harmony Ambulance deferred compensation from $60 a month to $75. Mayor Donney abstained due to conflict of interest. The southeast electric loop project and northwest project have been coming along although the weather has not been cooperating and has slowed down progress. The city is also working on a solution for making the bathrooms in the community center handicapped accessible. “It’ll be a major undertaking,” City Administrator Jerome Illg said, pointing out that the toilets are mounted directly to the walls. A motion was passed to continue working on the wastewater treatment plant and to replace the roof on the visitor’s center. Council member Deb Swenson presented the EDA board report. The board has planned a list of projects and are working to check each one off. They are also considering installing a “Welcome to Harmony” sign at the south end of Harmony. 350 of the Harmony-Opoly games have been sold so far. Haunted Harmony will be held on October 18-21. The Harmony Arts Board is looking for a tenth grader to serve on the board. The next Harmony City Council meeting will be held on November 13.

Whalan to acknowledge covenants of Hill Country subdivision

The Whalan City Council had many housekeeping issues to accomplish during the regularly scheduled October 8 council meeting. Photo by Barb Jeffers By Barb Jeffers The Whalan City Council is proposing to add the covenants of the Hill Country subdivision as an addendum to the city ordinances. A public hearing will be held on the matter in

the future where residents can voice any opinions they may have on the matter. All council members were present at the October 8, 2018, council meeting, including Mayor Marlys Tuftin, Kim

Berekvam, Everett Johnson, Owen Lewis, Johnny Halvorson and City Clerk/Treasurer Lolly Melander. Minutes from the September 10, 2018, were read aloud by Melander. No additions or corrections were requested. The Treasurer’s Report and Bills Due were read aloud by Melander. One addition to the bills due was made by Melander in the amount of $540 payable to city maintenance employee Lanny Landsverk for mowing in August and September. No further additions or corrections were requested in regards to the treasurer’s report or bills due. Visitor’s comments Several visitors attended the October council meeting. The city council is pleased to see city residents attending council meetings. Landsverk reported to the council that he will be taking a load of items to the landfill that is currently in the back of the city truck. The bed of the city truck will then be empty and ready for winter use. Wes Harding stated that the DNR placed a porta-potty on the trail for the season for public use, which is quite conve-

nient for visitors and tourists. Harding suggested the city of Whalan send a thank you to the DNR for placing the portapotty. The council agreed with Harding and will send a thank you to the DNR of behalf of the city and business owners. Old Business Tuftin reported on the council work list. Many items on the list have been accomplished. Potholes and road work have been taken care of, drainage issues were addressed, brush and tree clearing and tree trimming has been done, all ash trees in city limits have been identified and mapped, electric poles have been inspected with two straightened, and progress has been made in cleaning out the city shed. Randy Berekvam will be the primary snowplow operator for the coming winter. Johnson will be the back-up operator. Halvorson requested the city get a quote to have the box of the city truck spray coated. The council will get a quote and revisit the issue at the November council meeting. Berekvam notified the council that the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce is seeking a new

executive director. The third AED that the city has will be placed in Aroma Pie Shoppe at the beginning of the tourist season next May. A letter was sent to a property owner for vehicle removal. As of the night of the council meeting the vehicles had not been moved. A second letter will be sent to the property owner with the expectation the property owner will contact Melander to address the situation. New Business In regards to the Hill Country subdivision, Tuftin explained that the city is proposing to update its ordinance manual and updating its map. The city would like to add Hill Country subdivision to the map. The covenants of the subdivision would be included in the city ordinance book so they are on record for the future as the subdivision continues to grow. As the one item listed under New Business was tabled until the November council meeting, there were no new business items to discuss. The next regularly scheduled Whalan City Council meeting will be held November 12, 2018, at 5 p.m. at the city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Fillmore County District Court On October 1, Marshall Montgomery Rolfs, 20, of Preston, appeared before District Court Judge Matthew J. Opat. Rolfs is charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, a felony with a maximum criminal penalty of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. On or about September 30, a Fillmore County Sheriff’s Deputy was dispatched to rural Preston to

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: When Troopers pull over a vehicle, why do they approach it on the traffic side rather than the passenger window? I have observed some other law enforcement agen- Sgt. Troy H. cies approach Christianson from the passenger side and thought it made sense from a safety perspective. Answer: Officers are trained in both approaches, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. The side the officer chooses during a traffic stop generally comes down one important element — safety. As a Minnesota State Trooper, most of my traffic stops occur on the freeway or on state highways, where high speeds from passing vehicles is a real safety concern. Passenger-side approaches have proven safer for the officer if the vehicle stopped is struck by a passing vehicle. Other benefits to this approach include a greater view of the vehicle’s interior and the driver’s area of reach, as most people are right handed. It also gives the officer a larger area of escape if the officer needs to retreat in an emergency.

assist. Rolfs was suspected (by a family member) of being high on methamphetamine. When the defendant was searched, officers allegedly found a black cloth bag with round container with a white crystalline substance (2.7 grams). It later tested positive for meth. Rolfs also allegedly possessed two folded one dollar bills with a white powdery substance (0.6 grams of meth). The advantages an officer has from a driver-side approach include the ability to detect/smell if the driver is under the influence of alcohol and because it is easier to communicate with the driver. On most of my traffic stops, I approach on the passenger side because I feel safer from traffic. A few years ago on a traffic stop, an approaching vehicle’s passengerside mirror grazed me while I was on the driver’s side of a stopped vehicle on I-35. This was a great reminder of how dangerous a routine traffic stop can be. Each year, more than 20 Minnesota State Patrol vehicles are struck by drivers who are distracted, fatigued, impaired, or who lose control on slippery roads by travelling too fast for road conditions. Please slow down and move over for all emergency vehicles and vehicles with flashing lights. Not only is this a safety issue, it is the law in Minnesota. 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.
