Trump rally attracts huge local supporter By A nnie Lewis annie@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Loretta Ladsten of Mabel is pictured with the souvenir signs she received at the Trump rally in Rochester on October 4. Loretta waited in line for nearly four hours to get a place inside the civic center, along with about 10,000 other supporters. Ladsten said, “It was definitely worth the wait. It’s not every day that you get to see the president of the United States!” Photo by Annie Lewis the Senate. Republican Jim Hagedorn, who is seeking an open congressional seat in the 1st Congressional District, has been a supporter of Trump and said he hopes the publicity from the rally will help put him over the top. Hagedorn joined U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis on stage. Lewis is facing a close reelection race in the Minneapolis suburbs. Ladsten believes Trump has done a good job shaking things up in Washington and supports him in accomplishing his goals. “I’ve been involved in politics for about 40 years,” Ladsten said.
“Every week, I get about 30 letters from different organizations across the country. I buy 200 stamps at a time and send out petitions and surveys. It’s my way of doing my part, and feel lucky and blessed to live in America.” When Ladsten was asked what has been Trump’s biggest accomplishment thus far, she said, “He has put God back in the presidency. I had an aunt who was a nun and she always used to say, ‘He who offers God a second place offers Him no place.’ See TRUMP RALLY Page 2

Rushford-Peterson considers superintendent hiring process By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
Last month, the R-P School Board briefly discussed the process and timeline for the hiring of a new superintendent. Chuck Ehler, who has served as superintendent since July 2007, will not seek a new contract to renew his contract for the 2019-2020 school year. At the Monday, October 15 meeting, Ehler brought forth consideration of added services from the Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA), as well as options from two individuals, for professional assis-

tance during the hiring process. MSBA offered an array of services that included an in-district workshop ($975), the workshop and an initial planning meeting ($1,325), an added limited superintendent search ($4,250), and a full superintendent search including all other options and four additional items. The price for a full search was deemed, “to be determined.” Ehler indicated the two individuals offering services both have experience with the process as a retired and current school administrators.

Loretta Ladsten of Mabel may be one of the most enthusiastic Trump supporters in Fillmore County. So when she heard that the president was going to be at a rally in Rochester, she “rallied” her family to attend. “It’s not every day that you get to see the president of the United States,” Loretta exclaimed. “It was one of the best days ever.” On October 4, about 10,000 people packed the civic center with another 1,000 watching on a giant screen outside. Under tight security and a few protesters, Loretta waited in line for nearly four hours to get a place inside. By 3 p.m., the line to get into the rally stretched about a half-mile long and wound behind a parking ramp over to a walking trail near the Zumbro River. “We were lucky,” Ladsten said. “We parked at my nephew’s house and he drove us to the rally, and also picked us up. As we waited in line, we met lots of people. There were dozens of vendors selling clothing, scarves and the “Make America Great Again” hats. My brother bought one and we were all given Trump signs as souvenirs. It was definitely worth the wait.” According to Ladsten, Trump’s speech focused on urging people to vote in November. Trump lent his support to several Minnesota Republican candidates, and asked state Rep. Karen Housley to join him on the stage to speak on how she would defeat Tina Smith for Smith’s seat in

My brother made a wonderful chicken soup that we ate for lunch when we picked him up, and had it again when we dropped him off that night. We didn’t get home until after midnight!”
The Rochester Civic Center was packed to capacity, with another 1,000 watching on a giant screen outside as President Donald Trump lent his support to several Minnesota Republican candidates. Rochester officials said the crowds, including the protesters, were well behaved. Parking and congestion were an issue, but nothing more than expected for hosting a president. Photo submitted

C ommentary Trumpian hypocrisy By Dr. Bryan Van Gorp Rushford, MN The party of family values, the one that hated the Obamas, now embraces the Trumps. While not a l w a y s a g r e e ing with Obama, it would be Dr. Bryan difficult to Van Gorp criticize him as a husband and father. Trump on the other hand has had five children with three wives. He has had little role in his children’s lives until they were old enough to be business accomplices and has involved his children in his criminal activities. The anti-immigration President had two immigrant wives, puts innocent children in cages after breaking up families. He publicly bragged about being a sexual predator, defends other predators, is a serial philanderer, pays women hush money to hide affairs, and has been accused of sexual assault by 20 women. Aren’t evangelicals all about the Ten Commandments? Isn’t there one about adultery? It is true all politicians lie or at least spin their message. There has never been a president who lies like Trump. Fact checkers document an average of seven lies per day. When lies are exposed, he claims fake news, another lie. His own attorneys say he cannot testify before the special council because it is IMPOSSIBLE for Editorial Cartoon
him to tell the truth. What happened to, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” He brags about being a great business person. He inherited the equivalent of 413 million dollars and declared bankruptcy four times. That makes him one of the most incompetent business people in our country. He would have been better off putting the money into mutual funds and doing nothing. He cheated many small business owners out of payments for work done on his properties. He defrauded people via the Trump University. He used money donated to his charity for personal purchases. He is guilty of tax fraud both for his inheritance and his businesses. He is violating both the domestic and foreign emoluments clause of the Constitution. He refuses to release his tax returns, part of his cover up. Remember, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.” What about putting your money where your “patriotic” mouth is? He mocked a working journalist with a physical disability. He incited violence at his rallies. What about, “Do unto others as you would they do unto you.” He leads the anti-science party in denying the number one threat to our country and the world. The very best scientists from around the world have reached consensus, concluding we have just 12 years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45% to avoid catastrophic impacts from
anthropogenic climate change. Trump says climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese. What about stewardship of our resources for future generations? Trump has damaged the credibility of the United States Government by breaking our word in the Iran Nuclear Agreement and the Paris Climate Accord while other countries honored their word. Why would any country believe our commitments in the future? Beside all this, we are waiting for the completion of the special prosecutor’s investigation to find if Trump obstructed justice and/or conspired with foreign governments to manipulate our election. When people are afraid they become more conservative. People’s political leaning can be predicted with greater than 80% accuracy using brain imagining to evaluate their fear responses. That is why Republicans keep stoking fear. Fear of immigrants, other races, other religions; fear that wealthy, white, Christian, heterosexual, men are losing their privilege are their talking points. What does freedom mean to you? Is it the freedom to exploit the environment and workers for personal profit? The right to own a gun? Or, is it the freedom to access education and healthcare? The right to equal treatment under the law? The system is rigged, rigged in favor of the Republicans. Two of the last three Presidents lost the popular vote, both were Republicans. If people’s votes actually decided, the Supreme Court would have four more liberals justices on it.
Nightmare in Fountain benefits causes The time is nearly ripe for the re-emergence of Fountain’s Nightmare on First Street: Field of Screams and Haunted Barn, called by many “the best haunted event ever!” For the eighth year, this spooky nonprofit fundraiser is set to chill and thrill patrons. Funds raised this year will benefit Good Earth Village, a non-profit leadership center, summer camp, and retreat facility nestled in the bluffs near Spring Valley, Minn., whose volunteers will be helping to run Nightmare. Help may also come from the Chatfield High School Service Club. Each year Nightmare is different from the last. Routes are changed, walls are moved, and details abound. This year the Field of Screams has grown even more, and a second building has been expanded. Hundreds of hours every year go into the metamorphosis of this scary delight. Attendees can expect creepy scenes, handcarved pumpkins, a labyrinth, screams and moans, surprises and scares, live actors, and maybe even an apparition of DEATH. Creating and hosting this sixnight event are the Little family of Fountain, Paul, Regan, Logan, and Demery. Numerous others help with the presentation of the event. Depending on how quickly you walk through, expect Nightmare to be an approximately 20 or more

The silent pandemic By Pailey Gordon All over the news, we hear about politics, war, celebrity drama, natural disasters, and sometimes we even receive a happy story about how a child over- Pailey Gordon came some sort of challenge he was facing. Rarely do we see news on a concerning pandemic that is developing more and more every day: human trafficking. Human trafficking is the action or practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area, typically for forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. Human trafficking is also known as modern-day slavery. An estimated 40.3 million men, women, and children are trapped within this massive, horrifying business, within 71% of the victims are women and young girls, and 29% are men and young boys. This business has become so enormous that it is now an international problem; it is happening everywhere from big cities to small communities. In 2017, there were 254 calls regarding human trafficking from either victims or community members, and 74 turned into court cases, just in Minnesota.
Re-Elect
Most people only imagine that this would happen in big cities, not in small tight-knit towns like we have in our surrounding areas. It is just as possible to have human trafficking groups in our local area as it is in big cities such as Minneapolis or even places like New York City. In order to bring down all these numbers, we all need to bring awareness to this pandemic. It will be extremely difficult to get an effective start on ending human trafficking, but human trafficking has been a taboo subject for way too long, so if we raise awareness to confront it, numbers will go down. We can raise awareness by talking about it in schools, volunteering and supporting antitrafficking efforts. We also need to be thoroughly informed on this topic. I highly encourage anyone and everyone to join and help fight this cause, even by doing something like writing a column in your local newspaper as I have done. Any sort of speaking out on this cause will help. Being able to recognize the signs of human trafficking will also help bring this crime to an end. Some signs that are common for victims of this crime are avoiding eye contact, bruises or cuts, a malnourished appearance, and misses class or work frequently. You should also keep an eye out for high-
RE-ELECT
security measures on houses like bars, wood boards, cameras, or other measures. Not all of these warning signs will be prominent with everyone, and every situation is different; but these warning signs have shown up repeatedly in many situations. This article is not designed to frighten people or to limit you from living your day-today lives. The reason I wrote this article is to raise awareness on this silent pandemic. There is just not enough talk about how human trafficking is affecting not only our country but also so many other parts of our world. What I hope is to raise more awareness of the problem and to have more ordinary people be able to point out the warning signs from victims of this crime. We need to support the victims of these horrid acts, so I urge you to speak out and help put these acts to an end for good.

The Fillmore County Journal www.fillmorecountyjournal.com RESPONSE TO JUSTIN ZMYEWSKI
There are many reasons people choose not to debate you Mr. Zmyewski, and it has nothing to do with their integrity, courage to lead, or some hidden agenda. Anyone who is willing to run for office and give back to their community has courage, and Eric Johnson has proudly served as a Houston Township Supervisor for 22 years and has been a leader in his church. Eric has laid out his agenda and taken it directly to the voters. All I have seen from Mr. Zmyewski are personal attacks and false claims from Bryan Van Gorp and his group about Eric being a “secret lobbyist” from Washington DC. Really? Your conspiratorial approach doesn’t address the many critical issues facing Houston County. Mr. Zmyewski votes no on tax levy increases, yet our property taxes go up each year. He argues “efficiency” when low county employee morale has resulted in record resignations and retirements. In his 8 years, Mr. Zmyewski has obstructed any progress on the new county shop and nothing has been done with the historic jail. He even doubled the cost of government oversight by hiring a county administrator at a cost of $150,000+. I am blessed to have married into Eric’s family. I know Eric to be a proud, hardworking farmer who has been a lifelong resident of Houston County. He wants what we all want, what’s best for Houston County. What I find interesting is Eric had to read your debate challenge in the paper as you didn’t have the courage to call him. And there is a big difference between a debate and a forum like District #3 (Caledonia) is having for their four candidates. District #2 deserves better! Vote for change on November 6th!

IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE After 8 years of Justin Zmyewski, it’s time for a change. Mr. Zmyewski continually abstains from voting on controversial issues or votes after he knows how the other commissioners will vote. This way he can shout he voted no on a tax levy increase, while the other commissioners were forced to raise it to balance the budget. Typical politician tactic. Mr. Zmyewski also takes advantage of his position and taxpayers to pay for what he wants. He wanted the new county shop to be moved out of Caledonia to the old Roverud building in Spring Grove. Even after the board voted to build at the current site, Zmyewski continually brought up buying the Roverud building. After 8 years of his obstruction, the only thing that has happened is construction costs have risen. In 2012, Zmyewski wanted a fence installed around the old jail and to let it sit (June 5, 2012). Now he wants to renovate it to office space, even after paid studies said the county doesn’t need more office space. In 2013 and 2017, Zmyewski wanted term limits and more members on the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment. As a result, his active supporters/activists, like Bryan Van Gorp and Ken Visger, now sit on these boards that are supposed to be impartial. In 2015, Zmyewski wanted a county administrator. He claimed it would save us money while taking over a majority of the commissioners’ responsibilities. Yet Zmyewski wants the same pay (over $20,000.00 when you include per diems and reimbursements). Now the tax levy needs to be increased by a proposed 6.9% for 2019. Is Zmyewski saving us taxpayers money? Or, is he just pushing what he wants at our expense? Ask him who paid for his trip to Washington, DC. After 8 years of Zmyewski, it’s time to elect a commissioner who represents us and will work with the other commissioners, townships, and county department heads to resolve issues, not create them. And Mr. Zmyewski only seems to show up to our township meetings when it’s an election year. Typical politician tactic. Vote for Eric Johnson on November 6th, it’s time for a change!

services were $4,500. Ehler also indicated he’d reached out to other districts regarding the use of professional services for hiring and found the districts, which had expended $7,500-10,000, were not supportive of hiring a firm. Rather, he suggested the following of previously used basic hiring guidelines would avoid any issues. Board Director Bonnie Prinsen, who was one of several who mentioned conferring with MSBA for process guidelines, clarified that she wasn’t looking to spend money on a hire, but rather sought general guidelines or recommended procedures. “It’s been a number of years since the last hire,” she noted. “I was wondering if there’s a standard somewhere that we can access without having to pay money. These are really interesting services, but I wouldn’t be in favor of that.” “We pay association dues; you would think they have something,” added Board Chairman John Linder. Prinsen agreed noting, “In all the emails, they say, ‘Remember to ask us if there’s anything you need; we have all these resources.’ I wonder if a board member should contact them about services.”

“I’m in favor of them [MSBA] coming down, if they include the service in our dues,” added Board Director Jon Pettit. “It’s ridiculous that we’d have to pay to have a representative come down. Other unions and organizations send representatives continuously as a service and as a part of dues. Otherwise, I think people can do their own research without MSBA.” The board made no motions regarding MSBA services. Prinsen has offered to contact MSBA regarding guidelines and standard procedures. In order to finalize the process and stay on the timeline, the district will make a decision on procedure by the regular November meeting at the latest. A special meeting, slated for Tuesday, November 13, at 5:30 p.m, will be held to canvas election results, but it’s possible the board may decide the hiring process at that time. The process timeline includes the mailing of flyers and posting of the position November 26, with applications due January 11. Review of applicants would begin mid-January, narrowing applicants to three to five candidates. Interviews would follow the first week of February with the committee expected to have finalized their choice by the end of the month. In other news, the board approved notice of general elec-

tion for the upcoming school board election November 6. Board Director Joyce Iverson has filed for renewal of a four-year term. The only other candidate to file for the position is Peterson’s Christopher Grindland. The board also approved notice of the special election for the operating referendum. With the district seeking a new operating referendum a year early, should the vote fail, the district has the authority to seek a special election for the operating referendum next year. With regards to maintenance contracts, the board considered two quotes for the removal of snow for district grounds. Last year’s costs, which included the rental of a skid steer from Hammel Equipment and the hiring of Trevor Kjos as operator, was $6,129. Hammel again offered the skid steer lease at $5,000. The other quote came from Atkinson Construction of Peterson. Based on previous numbers, Ehler estimated costs to be $450 per snowfall, averaging to $9,000 per year. The board approved the quote from Hammel unanimously. The board also approved Ehler’s seeking of a replacement truck for the district. The current truck, a 2000 Ford Ranger, has reached a point where repairs are not advantageous. The truck is currently used for assistance with snow removal, being outfitted with a blade and sanding unit. The district received a $300 offer for the current truck. Used replacement vehicles, that will work with the equipment, are estimated at $9,000-15,000. The newest vehicle found is a 2011 unit. The board unanimously approved allowing the superintendent to move forward with a purchase, not to exceed $15,000 before tax, title, and license. During the superintendent’s report, Ehler noted the sale of the former middle school building is hoped to be completed within the next two weeks. The board met in closed session, following the regular meeting, to discuss it further. The Redevelopment Committee met October 5 to discuss the future for the redevelopment of the former elementary and high school facilities. “We are waiting for the developer to secure his financial avenues for the possible redevelopment of the building and site. The City of Rushford has moved forward with the development of a Plan B. I appreciate their efforts to present some options as we await the developer’s efforts to secure funding,” said Ehler in the report.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County dorf, during his report, noted the possibility of a team cooperative between R-P and LewistonAltura for the golf teams. In 2018, L-A had nine participants on the boys team and two comprising the girls team. This year, they are expecting a drop of one to two for the boys and an increase of three to four for the girls. R-P had seven boys and two girls in 2018 and could see even less than L-A this year. Should the schools form a team cooperative, they may be able to compete as a full boys team and full girls team, with the possibility of junior varsity
team. The districts would share costs on transportation and fees and it would provide R-P indoor simulation practice access, while L-A would benefit from an available course. A cooperative may push the teams into AA competition play, but Bieberdorf noted that advantages in growing the program would far outweigh moving to a higher category. The board consented to having Bieberdorf look into it further. The next regularly scheduled board meeting is Monday, November 19, at 5:30 p.m., in the forum room. The public is encouraged to attend.

Mabel-Canton policies to be on website By Rich Wicks The Mabel-Canton School Board held a regular meeting on October 16. Present were Mark Weidemann, Jason Marquardt, Chris Miller, Business Manager Aimee Lake, Principal Michelle Weidemann, Board Chair Cristal Adkins, high school secretary Lynette Donald, Chris Loppnow, Diane Wilder and Liz Hershberger. Superintendent Gary Kuphal was absent due to a family commitment. No members of the public had requested to address the council. Although no student representatives were in attendance at the meeting, Principal
Weidemann shared that, “The high school staff voted, all the names of the juniors are put into a form, and the representatives this year will be Payton Danielson and Brayden Gjere.” There was discussion of a large number of the school policies that have yet to be posted on the school’s website. Principal Weidemann will follow up with Superintendent Kuphal on the best means to get them uploaded. Cristal Adkins suggested that, in the meantime, it might be wise to have a statement on the website saying that not all of the school policies are currently

trend going,” he said. As it was his last meeting before he moves out of the district and resigns from the school board, board chairman Dave Ruen was presented with a certificate for his 23 years of service to the Lanesboro school. Ruen had been carrying on a family tradition, as his father also spent many years serving on the Lanesboro school board. He remembered that when he was a child in school, a teacher once told him, “I don’t always agree with your father, but he’s a fair man.” “If the worst comment is that I don’t always agree with you, but you’ve always been fair and respectful, boy, you’re doing something right,” Ruen said. “And that’s what being a board member is all about. It’s been a great run.” The next Lanesboro school board meeting will be held on November 15 at 7 p.m.

Rushford Village discusses Featherstone watershed is located. The shed will be just 10 feet from an electrical box in order to provide heat to prevent the service from freezing. No other discussion of the watershed was held. The public works items were largely maintenance or certification items, but an update on the Benson Lane project noted that contractors still hope to begin construction prior to the end of the month. Public Works Supervisor Travis Scheck indicated the long-range weather for the project is predicted to cooperate with the project work. The city will pay for renewal of Scheck’s certifications, required by the job. A look into past practices indicated the city did previously pay for former supervisor Bob Theriet’s certifications.
By Kirsten Zoellner A quick-paced Village meeting, Tuesday, October 16, saw the council touch briefly on eight public works-related items and only one other item. Councilor Dennis Overland was absent from the meeting. First up, Mayor Gordon Johnson detailed plans for protection of the Featherstone Farms watershed. According to Johnson, the organic vegetable and fruit farm has a large well and irrigation system and the Minnesota Department of Heath is forcing the farm to install safety mechanisms to prevent water flowing back. The mechanism is a large check valve. Featherstone Farms intends to place an eight by 12-foot shed on the south side of the property, where the well

Scheck requested approval to purchase a number of maintenance-related items, including two brass wear rings and a handle on one of the pumps. They were recently serviced and quotes for the repairs are estimated at $730. Scheck indicated the pumps could be pulled and repairs made during an upcoming day of good weather. “I think we should do it so we don’t have any problems later,” noted Councilor Chad Rasmussen. The baffle inside the muffler on the 450-truck is also in need of replacement. While it’s drivable, Scheck indicated is is loud and causing a vibration. The council also unanimously approved the repair for the truck.
The reports by McCarthy Well have been completed, following inspection of two wells. Measurements and monitoring of water levels and a check on wiring and amperage were included. Scheck has also requested the city service a public work’s metal detector. The current detector button is malfunctioning and needs to be serviced at a cost of $150. Chicago Steel will be doing the repair and assumedly recalibrating the detector. A new unit is in the range of $1,200. Crushing of road rock is expected to begin shortly. Scheck noted the area has been short of crushers recently, but that the city should have it’s rock shed delivery made soon. The Village had previously con-

sidered the purchase of a flashing speed limit sign sign from Fillmore County, but deemed the cost too high. The county has recently contacted the city regarding an available sign the Village can use, but county crews need to know where and when to place the sign. The council gave no specific direction, but it was suggested the entrance to the city on Highway 43, from the south, would be a good location. The city may also contact signage companies regarding additional signage. “I’m not sure this is the year we try to acquire some of that,” noted Johnson. “I think it is something that brings people’s attention to the speed.” The next regularly scheduled council meeting Tuesday, November 13, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.
Energy assistance available for customers as heating season approaches Minnesota Energy Resources reminds customers to check their eligibility for energy assistance as the winter heating season approaches. Applications for energy assistance are now being accepted by Minnesota’s Energy Assistance Program (EAP). To apply for energy assistance, residents must contact the EAP provider in the county where they live to receive an application. Along with a completed application, residents must provide: • Proof of income for each household member for the past three months. • A copy of their last heating bill and last electric bill. • A copy of their most recent fuel receipt (applies to residents who use delivered fuel to heat their home). A list of energy assistance agencies in the Minnesota Energy Resources service area is available on the Minnesota Department of Commerce website or by calling 800-657-3710. Customers with questions about energy bills or payment options should contact Minnesota Energy Resources at 800-889-9508. Energy assistance is based on household income levels, and residents do not need to be behind on energy bills to receive a grant. EAP guidelines are updated annually, and additional residents may qualify for energy assistance due to adjustments to eligibility levels. An application for energy assistance through the EAP also is used to determine a resident’s eligibility for the Department of Commerce’s Weatherization Assistance Program. Minnesota Energy Resources’ customers who have received an EAP grant may also be able to receive assistance through the company’s Gas Affordability Program, which is administered by The Salvation Army. Applications for the Gas Affordability Program can be found on the Minnesota Energy Resources website. The EAP, a service administered by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, helps qualifying resi-
dents with home heating costs, emergency repair or replacement of faulty heating systems,
and energy efficiency. Assistance provided by the EAP is made through one-time grants.

Mayo Health System - St. Marys Campus. Janet was born July 18, 1946, to Martin and Alpha (Haugen) Peterson in southeast M i n ne sot a . She grew up in Lanesboro and attended L a n e s b o r o Janet E. Bautch High School. After high school, she graduated from Winona Secretarial School and worked at various bookkeeping and factory positions while raising two wonderful children, Chace and Chellie. Janet married Donald Bautch on July 5, 2003, and they lived in Rushford. After they lost their home completely in the 2007 flood, they relocated to Winona. Janet most enjoyed spending time with family and friends, visits to see Chellie and family in California, occasional gambling and shopping excursions. She is survived by her children, Chace Kingsley and Chellie (David) Shaffer; step-children Kim Suchla, Laurie (Jim Pienttok) Bautch, Don (Jeannette) Bautch, and Daniel Bautch; grandchildren Dalton, Cole, Sydney, Michelle, Erika, Alayna, Benjamin, Dorian, and Calysta; and many step great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Lanesboro resident and the unofficial “town historian” passed away October 13, 2018, at his senior living home in Onalaska, Wis. He was 99 years old. He was the son of Mer- Donald Victor lin and Aleda Ward (Bla gs vedt) Ward, also longtime Lanesboro residents. Donald lived in Lanesboro on and off for 70 years. He was born in Amherst Township in Fillmore County on September 12, 1919. He attended school in Lanesboro, graduating from Lanesboro High School in 1938. While in high school Donald and his brothers were active on the highly successful Lanesboro HS football, baseball, and basketball teams. In addition, Donald was the captain of the 1937 football championship team which was unbeaten and unscored upon. The day after graduating from high school, Donald’s dad told him and his brother Howard it was time to start on a construction project. This began a 50-year career in construction activities of various kinds in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. In 1940, Donald and his brother Bill traveled to Angola, Ind., to Tri-State College and began a
Monday, October 22, 2018
course of study in civil engineering. The study was interrupted by the start of World War II. Donald was drafted in August 1942 and reported to Ft. Belvoir, Va., where he took his basic training. In May of 1943, Donald was selected to go to the Corps of Engineers Officer Training School, again at Ft. Belvoir. After graduating he was assigned to the 923rd Aviation Engineers located at Eglin Field (now Eglin AFB) in Florida. He was one of six officers who then deployed to England with a unit largely made up of African-American troops. They built airfields and repaired runways for about a year prior to deploying to France shortly after the D-Day invasion. Donald returned to the United States, Geiger Field, Wash., in December 1944 and his unit trained for deployment to the Pacific Theater. Prior to their deployment, the war ended in September 1945 and Donald was discharged in November. Donald returned to Lanesboro and he and Howard continued in the road construction business for just under a decade before selling the business. Donald went on to work for the U.S. Postal Service before joining the Corps of Engineers in 1966, retiring from the Corps in 1981. He then began a decade-long business with his wife Alene, running Studio Antiques located on Parkway in downtown Lanesboro in the historic Bue Studio Building. They resided in Lanesboro until
2008 before moving to a senior citizen facility in Onalaska, Wis. Throughout his life, Donald was an avid historian and he particularly devoted his energy to recording the history of Lanesboro. He amassed an enormous collection of photos, letters, memorabilia, newspaper clippings and other artifacts related to Lanesboro and Fillmore County. He was a driving force in the creation of the Lanesboro Historical Preservation Association which runs the Lanesboro History Museum. Many of the exhibits at the museum were donated by Don over a two-decade period including his great-uncle’s wife’s wedding dress in which she was married in Lanesboro in the 19th century. He also donated many pictures and glass negatives to both the Lanesboro and Fillmore County Museum in Fountain, Minn. Donald was the coauthor of a book on the history of Lanesboro, Lanesboro, Minnesota, Historical Destination, published in 2002. Donald was active in community activities, including the museums, the American Legion Post 40 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Lanesboro. He also recorded performances of the Commonweal Theater which he has donated to the theater. Donald was always helpful to visitors to Lanesboro, frequently engaging them in discussions about the history of the city and places to visit. He and several close friends known as the “Rusty
Call the FCJ at 507-765-2151 to advertise or offer news tips! Five” met for over two decades to drink coffee and swap stories. Don was also a prolific blood donor and received recognition from the State of Minnesota for his donations. Donald was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Alene, in 2010, and siblings Howard, William, Alan, and Marjorie. He is survived by daughters Patricia Feidler of Hudson, Wis., and Kay Evenson of Onalaska, as well as four grandsons: Alex and William Feidler and Jonathan and David Burns, and nine greatgrandchildren. Funeral service for Donald took place 11 a.m. Thursday, October 18, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, with Pastor Pastor Kerry Eversol officiating. Committal service with Military Funeral Honors accorded by Lanesboro American Legion Post # 40 followed at the Lanesboro Cemetery. Visitation was one hour prior to the funeral service at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials be given to the Lanesboro History Museum. Johnson-Riley Funeral Home in Lanesboro assisted the family with arrangements.

Breast Cancer
What exactly is cancer? Defining cancer The organization Cancer Research UK defines cancer as abnormal cell growth. Cancer cells are cells that divide in an uncontrolled way. New human cells normally grow and divide to form new cells as the body requires them. As healthy cells grow old or become damaged, they die off and new cells take their place. However, when cancer develops, this process goes haywire. Damaged cells become even more abnormal and can survive when they would normally die. These cells keep multiplying and eventually can form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. This is the case in most cancers, with the exception of leukemia, wherein cancer prohibits normal blood function due to abnormal cell division in the bloodstream. Not all lumps in the body are tumors. Lumps that remain in place and do not spread to other areas of the body can be harmless or benign. According
Cancer can affect anyone. Sometimes it strikes with no warning, while other times people may have a genetic predisposition. Various medical organizations say there are between 100 and 200 different types of cancer. Everyone has heard of cancer, but some are still unsure of what cancer is.

to the American Cancer Society, cancerous tumors are malignant, which means they can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. Cancer stages actually are determined based by how far cancerous cells have spread beyond their point of origin. Cancer stages Cancer is staged according to particular criteria based on each individual type of cancer. Generally speaking, lower stages of cancer, such as stage 1 or 2, refer to cancers that have not spread very far. Higher stages of cancer, such as 3, mean cancer has branched out more. Stage 4 refers to cancer that has spread considerably. Common forms of cancer Cancer can occur just about anywhere in the body. Cancers of the breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancers affect males and females in high numbers. Classifying cancer involves understanding where the cancer originated. Cancer Treatment Centers of America offers these classifications: • Carcinomas begin in the skin or tissues that line the inter-

Cancers can also arise during a person's lifetime as a result of errors that occur as cells divide or because of damage to DNA that results from certain environmental exposures. Cancer-causing substances include the chemicals in tobacco smoke. Ultraviolet rays from the sun also have been linked to cancer. Learning more about cancer can help people reduce their risk for developing this potentially deadly disease. Individuals should always speak with their physicians if they have specific questions about cancer.
nal organs. • Sarcomas develop in the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle or other connective tissues. • Leukemia begins in the blood and bone marrow. •· Lymphomas start in the immune system. • Central nervous system cancers develop in the brain and spinal cord. Cancer is treated in various ways and depends on the cancer's stage, type and effects on the body. A person's age as well as his or her current health status also may play a role in treatment decisions made by both the patient and his or her medical team. Surgery may be conducted to remove a tumor, while chemotherapy employs chemicals to kill cancerous cells. Radiation therapy, which uses X-rays to direct radiation toward cancerous cells, is another potential cancer treatment. The side effects of each treatment vary, and there are ways to mitigate these effects. Why does cancer occur? Cancer develops for various reasons - some of which may

This photo of Aubrey Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family (Raen, Aubrey, Rod, and Dacoda) was taken the week after her surgery in August of 2016. She recalls that week of recovery as awful and emotional with moving their son to college at Luther. To make matters worse, their campground flooded! Today, Aubrey is grateful to be alive and says she would have never gotten through without the support from her family, friends, coworkers, church and the entire Harmony community. Photo submitted

ful and repeatedly looked and compared. Finally, she just told Aubrey that with her age, lack of family history, it didn’t seem likely, but she wanted to make sure and ordered a biopsy. Aubrey said, “I can’t say I wasn’t worried. It felt kind of surreal. Is this really happening?” She tried not to think about it and continued her busy life as mom, wife and bookkeeper at First Southeast Bank in Harmony. It took a couple of weeks for the biopsy to come back. Aubrey received the call at work on Friday, July 15. “I went into the boardroom to take the call. Honestly, I remember very little about what was said. I heard cancer. And then went numb. I remember trying to keep myself together because I didn’t want the doctor to feel bad. I stepped out of the boardroom, my coworker looked at me and I completely broke down.” Aubrey called her husband, Rod. She tried to recall what the doctor said. “I remember Rod saying that we will do whatever is needed and we will get through this. I then took a moment to tell my co-workers. I met with my husband after work to make sure he talked with our son Dacoda and daughter Raen. We were going camping and I had to drive to meet my best friend and daughter. That was the longest drive of my life.” The following week, Aubrey had her initial appointment at Gundersen Health in La Crosse. She was given a team of professionals that guided her through everything — from advanced directives, to discussing mastectomy if the cancer had spread, to treatment options, to someone just being there for you. Aubrey decided to have genetic testing done for her daughter’s sake. Thankfully, her type of cancer was not genetic. After several more appointments and an MRI, surgery was scheduled for August 22. A radioactive seed was placed in the area to be removed. Dur-

ing surgery they removed the affected duct and went out a margin around it. They tested and found three areas of cancer. They went out another margin and it was negative for cancer cells. Aubrey recalls that week of recovery as awful and emotional with moving their son to college at Luther. To make matters worse, their campground flooded! Then, Aubrey started radiation every day in La Crosse for six weeks from September through November 10. She described the radiation as the getting the worst sunburn ever and then keep
repeated it with the same intensity every day. It would peel and the burning continued under the skin. “I never had to drive alone a single day to my radiation. Someone was there by my side every day! My coworkers at the bank were incredible. They accommodated my schedule and thought of everything to make sure this was easy as possible. They truly cared how I was doing and went above and beyond the call of duty to support me and my family.” The congregation at her church, Greenleafton
Reformed, were also amazing and did more than she can ever thank them for. “My family, friends, everyone pitched in and people I didn’t even know brought food, sent cards and did random acts of kindness. The outpouring of love from our community was amazing!” “Today I feel a sense of obligation because I’m one of the lucky ones and am alive,” Aubrey said. “Every chance I get, I talk about my experience and encourage others to get mammograms. I’m teased that I’m a walking PSA (Public Service Announcement)
for mammograms. Pretty ironic from someone who didn’t think she should get one. If I had waited another year, who knows where I’d be today.” Aubrey is on Tamoxifen for five years and goes for annual 3D mammograms, which is recommended for women that may have dense breast tissue. “Don’t put a mammogram off. Because of the dense tissue, it is difficult to feel something suspicious with a self-exam. I didn’t feel a lump. It was the mammogram that saved my life, plain and simple.”
Foods that may help fight cancer People concerned about their cancer risk may find that switching their diets can do a world of good. Certain foods may reduce cancer risk, according to various cancer experts, including the MD Anderson Cancer Center. In addition, some foods might increase a person’s risk of developing cancer. Knowing what to put on the table come breakfast, lunch and dinner can go a long way toward reducing one’s cancer risk. Some foods show cancer-
fighting properties, although it is impossible to currently say one food or another can actually stop cancer from developing. Studies have shown that diets filled with colorful fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of developing cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Cancer Research UK points out that some foods, such as red meat and salt-preserved foods, can increase a person’s risk of developing some cancers, while vegetables, fruits and foods high in fiber have
the opposite effect. A comprehensive review of thousands of studies on physical activity, diet and weight conducted for the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research found that plantbased foods are the best at fighting cancer. Broccoli, berries and garlic showed some of the strongest tendencies to prevent cancer. According to research associates at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, a variety of chemi-
cals from plants known as phytochemicals protect cells from harmful compounds in food and in the environment. Phytochemicals prevent cell damage and mutations. When making their grocery lists, people who want to eat healthy and lower their cancer risk can include as many of these foods as possible. • Garlic: Studies suggest that garlic can reduce the incidence of stomach cancer by attacking bacteria associated with some ulcers and belly cancers. Sulfur compounds in the food may stimulate
the immune system’s natural defenses against cancer and could reduce inflammation and tumor growth. • Broccoli: Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage and kale contain glucosinolates. These are phytochemicals that produce protective enzymes that activate in the intestines. One particular compound, sulforaphane, is strongest and found in broccoli. Protective properties are highest in raw or steamed broccoli. • Blueberries: Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize the unstable compounds, called free radicals, that can damage cells and lead to cancer. • Tomatoes: The red, rich coloring of tomatoes comes from lycopene. In laboratory tests, lycopene has stopped cancer cells, including breast, lung, and endometrial cancers, from growing. Researchers speculate that lycopene protects cells from damage that could lead to cancer by boosting the immune system.

Broadband coming soon to rural Rushford
In front, Rep. Greg Davids, Commissioner Mitch Lentz, AcenTek CFO Darren Moser, and Danna MacKenzie, executive director in DEED Office of Broadband Development. They were joined by a CNS engineer and workers, standing in back. Photo by Karen Reisner By Karen Reisner A Golden Shovel groundbreaking event was held on October 3 in Rushford Village/ rural Rushford to celebrate a new expansion of fiber Internet in Fillmore County. The last mile project will serve 246 unserved households and businesses, and 311 underserved households, businesses, and community anchor institutions within the rural expansion area. The broadband expansion project is made possible through a partnership between the state, county and private sector. In this case AcenTek, a rural co-op
located in Houston, which serves southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and portions of Michigan is the private partner. Late in 2017 Border to Border Broadband Development Grants were announced which included a grant to AcenTek for the Rushford Village/rural Rushford area in the amount of $2,011,628. Darren Moser, AcenTek chief financial officer, explained that in this partnership the state pays about 38%, Fillmore County provides a loan in the amount of $75,000, and AcenTek pays for the other 62% (about $6.5

million) of construction costs. The fiber to home installation will provide the latest and greatest speeds in Minnesota. The grant program’s purpose is to assist in the expansion of broadband in rural Minnesota. Moser maintains the public/private partnership is the key to rural broadband expansion. The last mile project started this year and construction should be finished next fall, allowing a great number of the rural customers to have high speed broadband by this time next year. He noted that Rushford city already enjoys 200 mbps down and 200 mbps up. The public/private partnership is critical due to the cost of construction in rural areas. It costs $8,000 to $9,000 per individual location. It will take 15 years to recover the initial capital expenditure. The investment by the company is very significant up front. This investment will make sure that high speed Internet is available to these rural residents so that they are not left behind compared to their urban neighbors. AcenTek and rural Lanesboro received a Border to Border Grant in early 2017 in the amount of about $1.78 million, which paid for about 40% of the construction cost. Construction is done in rural Lanesboro. AcenTek is in the process of cutovers to individual residents. About 50% of these connections are left to do. All hook-ups are expected to be done by the spring of 2019. Rural Lanesboro residents at the beginning of construction were expected to have Internet speeds of 50 mbps down and 100 mbps up. They are already getting 200 down and 200 up. AcenTek will install infrastructure for broadband in the city of Lanesboro, which was not included in the state grant. Construction should be begin-

ning in the city. Cooperative Network Services (CNS) are broadband engineering specialists that work with AcenTek. AcenTek is offering a one year promotion rate to new customers of $29.95 per month. After the initial year the rate will be $49.95. Moser said the greatest limitation to the expansion of fiber Internet is financial. He feels it is important to continue the Border to Border Broadband Development Program. In order to serve more and more rural areas it will take a lot of dollars and a lot of years. Moser estimated it could take 15 to 20

years more at current funding levels of the state’s broadband program to cover all of rural Minnesota. Danna MacKenzie, executive director in the Office of Broadband Development, believes broadband is a critical piece of infrastructure which will contribute to the long term economic health of rural Minnesota. Marty Walsh, Fillmore County EDA director, said the availability of broadband can contribute to a higher quality of life. It can enhance living standards and make rural Minnesota an attractive place to live and run a business.

Fillmore County Sports
Surrounded by teammates Ben Brogan (#2), Nathan Goldsmith (#35), and Chance Backer (#12), Chatfield’s Seth Allen (#1) is a bit mystified. St. Charles threw 11 passes, completed three, and Allen intercepted four, in a big Gopher win over the previously undefeated Saints. Photo by Paul Trende By Paul Trende St. Charles football came into week seven riding high. The Saints entered undefeat- The Trende Report ed (6-0), ranked #5 in state (coincidentally coached by Matt R e i n hardt, an R-P guy). Paul Trende But 10thranked Chatfield (5-1) lost only to #1 Caledonia, making SC/Chat a pivotal contest in the SoutheastWhite and Section 1AA. Jeff Johnson’s crew played tough defense, ran the ball hard, and got four interceptions from one guy. That equation equated to victory. Chatfield never trailed, getting a second quarter Reid Johnson to Chance Backer 14-yard TD (plus PAT) for a 7-0 lead. The Gopher defense largely stymied St. Charles, except for a two plays very late in the stanza. Drew Maloney’s quarterback-keep 26-yard run, and a subsequent Maloney to Kyler Reps 33-yard pass, led to a Logan Wendt’s 4-yard TD plow. Chatfield led 7-6 at half. Out of intermission, the Gophers had the most important drive, 69 yards in 11 plays (ten on the ground). Gage Tuohy’s 2-yard TD run, and a Johnson to Backer two-point pass, made it 15-6. Forced into a pair of third quarter three-and-outs, the Saints, a grind-it-out run team (down two scores), then had to take chances. Gopher senior CB Seth Allen proved the odds were in his favor. Already with one interception, Allen had another in the third, then two more in
the fourth. His ball skills ended the Saints last three main drives. A Tuohy 59-yard TD run late was the “!”. Chatfield prevailed 22-6. They claimed the Armistice Day Trophy. The teams formerly always played their rivalry on that day dating back to 1947. The Batman and Robin rushing attack, Tuohy (28-189, 2 TDs rushing) and Carson Larrabee (13-82 rushing), led the way. Tuohy eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark. Even with a 79-yard effort versus Caledonia, he’s averaged over 180 yards a game the last four weeks. Johnson (7-17, 96 yards, TD, INT) gave the Gophers an aerial threat. The sophomore QB also snuck his way to three rushing first downs. Lineman Jack Touhy, Zach Roline, Davontae Goldsmith, Isaiah Froese, and Jonathan Frank, plus tight ends Backer and Nathan Goldsmith, did the dirty work for a 287yard rushing attack. Roline, Froese, and Frank also anchored Chatfield’s interior defensive line, which held SC to just 137 yards offense (90 rushing, 47 passing). Wendt (15-54, TD rushing) was the only Saint over 50 yards total offense. The win pulls Chatfield (5-1, 6-1) into a tie for second with the Saints (5-1, 6-1) in the White behind Caledonia (6-0, 7-0).
Tested, Hurricanes Shut-Out Burros
A year ago, Houston football, even down some key players, handed it to Lanesboro 46-12. In this year’s game, the Burros were game. But the ‘Canes moved to 6-1 courtesy of a shut-out victory. Houston had two double-digit-play first half drives go for nada. The stanza’s only score was when Joey Fishel blocked a Burro punt out of the end zone for a safety right before
halftime. Houston led 2-0 at half. Jaytin Millen’s 75-yard third quarter TD run (plus twopoint run) made it 10-0. Millen (46 yards) and Fishel (16 yards) added fourth quarter TD runs. Burros playing tough, Cody Hungerholt’s 8th-ranked Houston squad prevailed 24-0. Millen (25-212, 2 TDs rushing) had a career-best yardage night, his sixth 100-yard effort this year. Fishel (16-86, TD rushing) helped. Lanesboro had 82 yards rushing on 30 carries. Nate Betz (3-29 rushing, 1-51 receiving) was their top yardage getter. The ‘Cane defense held the visitors to just 143 yards offense. Ninetyfour came on Lanesboro’s last drive. Houston won turnovers 3-0. They were 0-4 on fourth down. The teams combined to complete just four passes (all Lanesboro). Houston improves to 5-1, 6-1. Lanesboro falls to 2-4, 3-4.
Peters/Falcons Cannibalize Falcons
Fillmore Central football came into this season on the wings of three straight excellent campaigns. But this year’s Falcons just don’t have all the horses as in recent memory. FC (2-4) got a little happier in their foraging, doing so on Falcon meat. Chris Mensink’s crew cannibalized Wabasha-Kellogg (1-5). FC put up 28 first quarter and 35 first half points. That was more than enough in a 47-14 blow-out win in a battle of Falcons. W-K’s first eight series produced four three-and-outs and four turnovers (in threeor-less-plays). They had two yards of first half offense. Their first first down came on penalty in the third quarter. Josh Peters, the Falcons biggest holdover from the past two seasons, led the way with a huge game
(6-10, 134 yards, 3 TDs passing; 21-164, two conversions rushing, interception, fumble recovery). He would’ve scored 37 points in generic fantasy football. Carson Kiehne (4-57, 2 TDs rushing) had FC’s first two scores. Tyler Raaen had a TD run and two sacks. Joe Tarrance (48-yard TD reception), Cory Brown (3-45, TD receiving), and Logan Dyreson (31-yard TD reception) caught scores. Nick Whalen added a 65-yard fumble recovery TD. FC improves to 3-3, 3-4. W-K probably shouldn’t even schedule games at Del Elston Field in Harmony. The past six meetings have been won by the home team by a collective 25434. Notable highlights include Ryan Mayer’s nine PAT game (2011), Tyson Ristau (rushing) and Trace Tollefson (receiving) each having 200-yard games in separate contests (2015), and Nate Haugerud’s five TD game (2017).
Hermanson’s Effort Propels R-P
Sandwiched between two really big District/Section games (Goodhue/BP), R-P football played Hayfield in week seven. Ethan Hermanson scored TDs three different ways to lead the Trojans to their sixth win. The junior running back returned the opening kick-off 75 yards to pay-dirt. He had R-P’s second score as well, an 8-yard TD run. Then, in the second quarter, he authored an 85-yard punt return TD. R-P built a 41-0 halftime lead on the way to a 48-6 win. Hermanson finished with 63 total yards offense (8-40, TD rushing, 2-23 receiving). He now has multiple interceptions (5), offensive TDs (4), and return TDs (3). He’s scored four different ways. Landon Skalet (9-12, 132 yards) tossed

The State of Volleyball
By the time this article comes out, the fall sports regular season will be finishing up. The playoffs will just about be underway. Here is the state of volleyball for the county heading to the post-season. Four of seven FCJ covered teams are above five hundred. Leading the way is #5 in Class A Mabel-Canton. The Cougars won their only SEC match of the week, beating Houston in straight sets (2516, 25-9, 25-12). It secured M-C their 21st SEC East and/ or outright league title. Maddy Michels (11 kills), Payton Danielson (7 kills, 4 aces, 14 digs), Sarina Stortz (7 kills), Lexi Thorson (13 digs), and Kenidi McCabe (32 assists, 13 digs) led M-C. Jenny Albrecht (6 kills, 7 digs), Gretchen Hill (11 digs), Alyssa Rostad (10 digs), and Ariel Scanlan (6 assists, 7 digs) led Houston. The Cougars (13-0, 25-5) seem the likely top seed in 1A East. They are the highest state ranked team. They have the most wins (25), the most section wins (18), the top QRF (14, as of 10/14), and own three victories over Spring Grove (11-2, 23-3). The Lions and TRC-leading W-K (10-0, 18-7) are the looking at the 2-3 seeds. The FalconsNorth felled top-tier TRC teams FC and #10 in A Caledonia. W-K (17) is ranked higher in See SPORTS Page 23

Veterans home planning continues By Karen Reisner At the October 15 Preston City Council meeting, City Administrator Joe Hoffman reported on an October 2 meeting of architects, engineers, and local leaders concerning a veterans home in Preston. A schedule of the process includes predesign by January 2019, schematic design in March, the deadline of April 15 to apply for the Federal Veterans Administration grant, design development in June, an application deadline of August 1, and submission of construction documents later in August. If all clicks into place, there is the potential to break ground for the veterans home as early as late fall 2019. Each individual unit is expected to be 350 to 400 square feet. A total of about 1,000 square foot per resident includes the individual unit per resident plus common areas. Design and decorations are expected to reflect the community, for example agriculture and fishing. The dining area may be situated to look out over the golf course. Two streets are to be constructed to provide access to the veterans home. The next small group planners meeting will be on November 8. A larger community meeting will be held in December to allow those interested to see plans and ask questions. Funds continue to be raised that will be eligible for the 2:1 Veterans Administration federal match. Mayor Kurt Reicks commented, “It is looking very positive.” Other business in brief • Due to the fact that the city’s employee group had significantly fewer health insurance claims this last year, the Southeast Service Coopera-
tive (SSC) is rewarding the city with a $16,929.50 claims margin refund. The funds will be split between the city ($7,480.46), Preston Utility ($6,909.68), and employees ($2,539.36). The split is based on how the premium is paid (85% employers and 15% employees). Employees with a family plan will get about $220 and employees with a single plan will get about $100. • Approval was given for the Preston Fire Department to apply for the FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG). If awarded, the grant could be about $100,000 and would be used to replace turnout gear and air packs. A 10% match will be required, which would come from the fire department budget. • A resolution was adopted as recommended by the Preston Library Board requesting Fillmore County to increase its funding for library services to 40% by 2024. This resolution has been approved by several cities in the county requesting the county to increase its funding due to the fact that usage/circulation of the library system is 60% city and 40% township or rural residents. Current funding is provided 70% by cities with libraries and 30% by the county. • Chris Syverson has requested approval for a driveway access to Brownsville St. NW. He intends to build an attached garage on the west side of his house at 413 St. Anthony Street N. Approval was given to build a 24-foot driveway access to Brownsville St. NW as recommended by staff. The next city council meeting will be on November 5. It may be the only meeting in November.

Mom
By Tammy Danielson To decorate or not to decorate — that is the question! So with our son off to college, we are now empty nesters for most of the year. This is interesting backstory for all of you to have as I bring up the next topic — decorating for the holidays. When my husband asked me “why” would we decorate for Halloween this year, the question bounced off my heart with a tinge of sadness. Well because! (Not a great answer) There are schoolage children on the block that would probably enjoy all of my lights and decorations — right? It seemed to be assumed that because we didn’t have a child inside the house anymore that decorations outside
are less appreciated. And, what about me? I love to see the holiday decorations and, although I might size it down a bit, the happiness a bit of color brings each holiday gets me energized. You need to know that my bah-humbug husband is not one to string Christmas lights outside any time before the frigid Minnesota winter sets in nor does he seem to care for them at all. I remember one winter trying to string lights on an especially icy and cold evening (by myself ) because I wanted lights and wasn’t going to let Scrooge tell me otherwise. Oh, the
Meat and Potatoes (literally)
It is hard to consider this a recipe, but if you have never used a cast iron pan, then this quick recipe could become a new staple for you. It’s a fast, easy, and hearty for an after work quick meal. Nothing better than steak and potatoes in a nicely seasoned cast iron pan…yum! 2 tablespoons olive oil 2-4 tablespoons butter, divided (This good Norwegian girls goes for 4 tbsp or more) 2 cans whole cooked potatoes 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon rosemary 1 teaspoon oregano 1 small onion, diced (optional) 1 box fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional) 1¼ pounds chuck steaks, cut into 1 inch cubes salt and pepper Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tbsp. olive oil and butter, potatoes, onion, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Cook for about 3 minutes, stir and cook and additional 3 minutes until fork tender. Remove and set aside on a plate. Scrape out skillet really well and turn it to high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tbsp. olive oil and steak cubes that you have salt and peppered. Let the steak sear for a minute and then continue to stir the steak until they are golden brown— or, finish them off in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Combine with potato mixture…enjoy!

frostbite and swear words that happened that night. The plan for this year was to put lights up before the first snowfall — who knew it would be snowing mid-October! However, that plan is still in motion and will go forward. Most of the fun with holiday decorating is to bring a smile to the neighbors. For example, one year (and only one year) we bought a lighted up inflatable snowman to sit in our front yard as a beacon of happiness for all of the neighborhood to see. Epic Fail. We forgot that Fountain is the highest point in Fillmore County and also the windiest. That poor snowman was doing a backbend or face plant for the entire season. Ah, decorating. There is also the time I tried to connect a few decorations with our Christmas lights, which ended up looking like a scene from the Christmas Vacation movie with extension cords and light strings bundled up into nice little messes all over the yard and deck. They blinked when they weren’t supposed to and finally gave up and just quit lighting up before the season was half way through. Also, I bought solar lights one year to try an easy way to decorate but best intentions went askew when one set went on a crazy blinking tirade and I accidentally cut the cord for the other set while pulling weeds. Ah, decorating. So, after all of these sad stories, you might think it is time to admit that my Christmas lighting skills are pathetic, the option of having my husband help is NOT an option, and those two things in combination are a poor recipe for spreading holiday cheer to the neighborhood. BUT…I will not be discouraged. Now, I am not saying you should make a special trip to check out the lights at our house this season, but just know there will something to share with the neighborhood. And, please know… I am not too proud to have friends offer their lighting services. Let the decorating begin!

Thank You! How does one begin to thank an overwhelming amount of people for your love and compassion in memory of Rachel and Emerson Harberts. Our families are humbled with your gifts of food, many visits and hugs, a phone call, beautiful gifts, monetary gifts in cards, the GoFundMe site and many different bank sites, and many fundraisers that continue to take place in so many communities for Brandon and Jaxon. Our words of thanks seem so minimal for everyone’s kindness and we just can’t thank you enough. We love your continued support for Jaxon as he is on the road to recovery. “God cries with us in our sadness and smiles with us as we reminisce over wonderful times we shared with Rachel and Emerson.” Love from the Harberts and the Posts

Got drugs? Turn in your unused or expired medication for safe disposal On Saturday, October 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Fillmore County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and local police departments will be participating in the National Drug Take Back Day! This is a free service and is an easy way of disposing
your unwanted, expired medications and prescription drugs. This is a great and important public service event because it helps prevent the potential of pills getting into the wrong hands or theft and misuse of medications. It also

League CEO arrested at Kavanaugh protest October 5, 2018, Washington, DC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Thursday, the League of Women Votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CEO Virginia Kase participated in the civil disobedience to protest Judge Kavanaugh and was among the activists arrested at the Capitol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opposing a Supreme Court nominee was an extraordinary step for the League, and our leadership believed that we needed to back those words with action.
This situation is too important to sit silently while the independence of our judiciary is threatened,â&#x20AC;? said Kase, who was hired as CEO in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I may be new to the League, but this organization was founded by the women who fought for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffrage. They marched in the streets, disrupted the status quo, and, yes, faced arrest and punishment to advance their cause. We honor
their legacy by participating in our democracy through this civil disobedience.â&#x20AC;? Last week the board of directors took bold steps for the organization in calling for a complete FBI investigation into all allegations of sexual misconduct and Thursday they went a step farther in officially urging the Senate to reject Judge Kavanaughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The process of the Kavanaugh hearings is unlike anything we have seen in the Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 98 years,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Carson, president of the League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This nominee has demonstrated that he does not possess fair and unbiased judicial temperament. I am proud of Virginia and our members across the country who are standing with her.â&#x20AC;?

Betts to leave Kingsland Board By Rich Wicks Kingsland School Board member Heather Betts announced she will be leaving the board in the near future. Her announcement came following a closed meeting on classified negotiations strategies. Board members expressed sorrow for her departure, but appreciation for her service. Jackie Horsman said, “I’m very thankful for your time on the board, and all your contributions.” During the open portion of the regular school board meeting on October 15, members present included Doug Plaehn, Ann Oeltjen, Leah Stier, Jackie Horsman, Heather Betts, and Superintendent James Hecimovich. Tiffany Mundfrom was absent. No members of the public addressed the board. The board heard from two students representing the FFA club. They told of upcoming “FFA the Fun Way” event on November 2 for seventh and eighth grade students. They also mentioned that annual FFA fruit sales have recently begun. No representatives were on hand for the Key Club/Builders Club or student council. Superintendent Hecimovich shared public thanks for LKQ Thompson Motors of Wykoff donation of $230 to cover the cost of balloons at the Community Ed Halloween Party on October 26, to be held 5:30-7 p.m. at the Wykoff Community Center. He also thanked the six volunteer Community Ed Flag Football coaches: Jen Ferguson, Chris Stier, Jared Hagstrom, James Leonard, Shaun
Knode, and Jeremiah Falck. The board passed a resolution establishing combined polling places for multiple precincts for school district elections not held on the day of a statewide election. On such an occasion, the polling will happen at the Spring Valley Community Center, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The board decided to hold a short election canvassing meeting on November 9 at 6:45 p.m. in the conference room, immediately by the Wall of Honor Induction ceremony at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria. Sue Kolling will be the 2018 Wall of Honor inductee. Written reports were submitted by Principal Scott Klavetter, Athletics and Grounds Director John Dols, Community Ed Direct Becky Bicknese, Business Manager Amber Uhlenhake, Superintendent Hecimovich, and the Kingsland School Parents group. As part of the consent agenda, the board approved the hiring of Nick Atwood (weight training supervisor), as well as the resignations of Kevin Klomps (transportation director) and Michael Blanchard (bus driver) and a leave of absence for Kristine Swier. The next board meeting will be a work session on Monday, November 5, at 6 p.m. in the elementary conference room. As always, the public is welcome. The next regular meeting will be Monday, November 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the choir room. Kingsland’s auditing firm (Smith Schafer) is scheduled to present at the November 5 meeting.
