Tri-City event lives up to the challenge developed hiking trails on the east side of the 400-foot bluff. Various routes were available, depending on difficulty, and more than 50 people clamored up two-miles of designated trail Friday afternoon. Individuals, groups, and for one local businesses, even the entire staff turned out in force. “All seven of our ‘Java Beans’ did it,” enthuses Jessie Street Java co-owner Amy Feller, gushing about her staff. “It was so fun! We enjoyed that we got to know them better.” The event also offered the new business a chance to promote themselves to the community. “It was an opportunity to get our faces out there and we live an active lifestyle anyway, so it was a perfect fit.” A pasta supper for participants, catered by Burdey’s Café of Peterson, was held at the restored Hoiland Mill following

Any new event can be a gamble for coordinators with endless planning, cost and participation projections, and unpredictable community response. Enthusiastic coordinators in the Rushford Peterson Valley knew this leading up to the October 3 Conquer the Bluff and October 4 Tri-City Challenge and were undeterred. Their vision paid off well for both the communities and participants. Drawing more than $5,000 for the Foundation for R-P Schools, geared to providing scholarships for graduating seniors, the events were designed to bring awareness to the community and to raise funds for district students. An obvious bonus was offering up the opportunity to take in the valley’s natural appeal, namely Magelssen Bluff, the Root River Trail, the historic Hoiland Mill and Ferndale Golf Course. On Friday, Conquer the Bluff participants utilized recently

the bluff experience. “Everyone had a great time,” adds coordinator Lisa Ledebuhr. The following morning, 37 participants lined the trail at the Rushford Depot for an impressive kickoff with the national anthem, sung by local high school students Brittany Kuss and Alejandra Torres, and live music provided by DJ Dwayne Miner. Volunteers for the triathlon challenge included students from the Seniors Give Back group and the National Honor Society.

The run, bike, and golf triathlon, cleverly organized, offered opportunity for all levels of participants. Developed in two tiers, depending on length and ability, it was also designed with the options of individual, two-person or four-person team, or threeperson relay, which opened the event to a wide array of ‘teams’. “They did a great job! It was well organized. There was a lot of preliminary work and it looked like the other teams were having tons of fun,” continues Feller. “Teams were fully engaged and others had silly names, too,” she adds, chuckling. For Jessie Street Java, it was an opportunity to make the challenge a battle of the sexes. For the men, ‘The Smoothie Operators’ were Kevin Feller running, Rodney Thompson biking, and Scott Glatczak

golfing. On the ladies’ team, ‘The Chai Chicas’ were Amy Feller, Pattie Thompson, and Bethany Glatczak competing against their husbands. So who won? “Ask Kevin,” says Amy giggling. Yes, the ladies’ team gave the men a run for their money, but they all had a blast along the way. More importantly, participants, including Jessie Street Java, were excited to have an opportunity to contribute to the community. Ledebuhr also notes the amazing input of other local businesses and entities, including Farmers Coop Elevator, Lost Creek Farms, Marine Credit Union, Merchants Bank, R&R Machining, Ross Himile Photography, Rushford Community Foundation, Rushford State Bank, and Winona Health.

Re-Elect

Dear Friends in Fillmore and Houston counties, I am writing to seek your support - and your vote - for another term as your State Representative. It will be my sincere honor to continue serving you in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Throughout Fillmore and Houston counties, I have met many of you at your doors, on your farm, at community events, festivals, parades, church dinners, county fairs, and public forums. Thank you for your willingness to greet me and share your concerns and hopes for our small towns, schools, nursing homes, the agricultural economy, and the State of Minnesota. I am seeking your vote for re-election because now, more than ever, our state needs public servants willing to work hard to preserve our rural values. I have never shied away from fighting for southeast Minnesota. We simply have too much at stake to do otherwise. If there is a small business to support, a family farmer to assist, a student to help, or a small child or senior citizen to protect, I believe it is my job to do so. While we may not agree on every topic, I hope you have found my style of tackling the tough issues an honest approach, especially at a time when many politicians govern only by what may win votes instead of doing what is right for our state. If you continue to give me the privilege of serving as your State Representative, you have my pledge that I will continue to work hard to make a difference for our communities and our state. The House District 28B in the Legislature is your voice in St. Paul, and it would be my honor to serve on your behalf. Thank you for your vote on Election Day.

C ommentary Global warming By Stan Gudmundson Some time back a commentator wondered why otherwise intelligent people weren’t concerned about or didn’t believe in global warming or climate change or increasing carbon dioxide or some other environmental catastrophe lurking around the corner. It’s actually very simple. Environmentalists are not believable. One reason is that fanatic concern comes principa lly Col. Stan from the left. Gudmundson Given the left’s lousy track record (communism, socialism, fascism, the great society) those of us on the right have a big issue with trust. Every time you turn around that is being reinforced. Here’s a Columbia university professor. “The answer to global warming is in the abolition of private property and production for human need. A socialist world would place an enormous priority on alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now.” Given that more than 100 million were murdered by their own governments in a quest to get rid of private property, only a university professor would be dumb enough to believe anything this absurd. On 5 Feb. 2013 an IPCC official named Edenhofer said that “Climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.” Is this part and parcel of Obama’s method of fundamentally changing America? And fundamentally changEditorial Cartoon

ing America means making us poorer? Then there is the overwrought hyperventilating. For example, a writer in the Atlantic magazine even contended that, “Syria has been convulsed by civil war since climate change came to Syria with a vengeance.” John Kerry says, “Climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps the world’s most fearsome weapons of mass destruction.” Really? Worse than nuclear war, super volcanoes, asteroids, and an inevitable ice age? Much has been made about the fact that even a Military Advisory Board seemed concerned about “accelerating climate change”. Frankly I’d be really hard pressed to have much confidence in conclusions formed by many of Obama’s generals and admirals. Especially since there was “zero pressure” to come to these conclusions. Moreover, environmentalism is not within the purview of the military nor is it an area where they have much expertise. Then of course there is the manipulation of data and the outright lying. Ninety-five percent of scientists agree that global warming is happening we are told. Really? If that is the case why don’t the scientists make all of the data available if everyone agrees? But they won’t do that. By the way, how much government funding has been made available to examine the possibilities that supposed climate change might be beneficial? Or how much has been provided to those who would like conduct contrary research? Devil’s advo-

cates so to speak. Group think is the basis for funding research. These two don’t qualify. A couple of years ago NOAA printed a version of temperature records that made July 2012 warmer than July 1936. But someone noticed that the July 1936 temperature record published in 1999 was different than that of 2012. Guess what? NOAA had made some “adjustments”. Caught speeding, and without any fanfare, they replaced 2012 data with that from 1999. Gives one a lot of confidence doesn’t it? Someone recently wrote about “advocating drastic reductions in fossil fuel use to reduce carbon outputs.” And then, in an effort to add credence to this position he said, “How many times have we heard the President say this? The science is settled.” Really? Based on what Obama has said? Actually, it would be amazing if we could believe anything he says. In June Obama said, “We know that the 20 warmest years on record for our planet all happened since 1990 – and last month was the warmest May ever recorded…with longer wildfire seasons, more severe droughts, heavier rainfall, more frequent flooding. Those are the facts. You can ignore the facts, (but) you can’t deny the facts.” Any of this true? Increased wildfires? Nope, down by 15 percent globally since 1950. Increased drought? Nah, 60 years and hardly any change. Increased hurricane activity? No, it’s the lowest it has been since the 1970s. 20 warmest years? Reread what NOAA did with 1936 data. And last winter was one of the coldest on record and this summer is one of the coolest if not the coolest on record. Who are going to believe? Obama or your lying

eyes? Not long ago British Professor Peter Wadhams asserted said that, “not later than 2015 there won’t be any ice in the Arctic in the summer…(It’s) the Arctic death spiral.” The sea ice, the ice in the Arctic, the ice in the Antarctic, it’s all melting. Island nations will disappear, oh woe is us, oh pain and agony. More nonsense. “In fact, across the globe there are about 1 million square kilometers more sea ice that 35 years ago, which is when satellite measurements began.” That’s what Georgia Tech climate science head Prof. Judith Curry says. The IPCC itself says that they have “low confidence in the scientific understanding of the observed increase in Antarctic sea ice.” In other words, they don’t have a clue. And we are supposed to get excited about socalled “climate change” on the basis of this “proven”, “settled”, and “solid” science? Am I cherry picking just a few “incidental” items that are really just outliers? Unfortunately not. I could go on and on and on with more material of the same kind. Moreover, I haven’t even touched on the fears of other scientists who are concerned about earth entering another “mini-ice age”. It’s nothing but a religion. Form you own church and worship the earth. Just remember to keep your spiritual life and secular lives separate. Wall of separation you know. That way we wouldn’t be constantly insulted and assaulted with your ecowacko nonsense.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County

C ommentary Anti-fracking laws vs. property rights By Robert D. Culver of Houston, Minn. This is the headline of an article in the Wall Street Journal (8-1-14). I am a small property owner in Houston County and I thoroughly reject the growing Robert D. intrusion of Culver government at every level into our private lives, especially

the private control of private property. Of course, there must be admitted exceptions and, like many other people, I am trying to decide about this new problem. I will try to pass on the gist of what the WSJ article of about twenty column inches has to say about this problem: The increasing attempts of government to stop hydraulic fracturing and accompanying sand mining violate the constitutional rights of the property owners affected, including their rights to profit from ownership.

Over 170 towns and cities in New York state restricted fracking in their municipal districts and successfully defeated challenges in New York supreme courts. Pennsylvania permits similar restrictions. Other states are considering the problem. 500 people attended a city council meeting where the council decided to put the matter to voters in the next November election though land owners there threatened to sue if a ban is imposed. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution says private property cannot be “taken... without just compensation” to owners of affected property. Bad feeling are stirred up, some lawyers have a field day and our own overloaded courts are further clogged. There is also precedent in oil and gas extraction. An oil corporation in Michigan leased mineral rights to land in Traverse City. The state rejected their plan to drill, forbidding “any and all” energy development on the land. The Oil Company and land owners sued. The court awarded them (in 1989) $71.5 million raising the amount to $120.8 million in 1995. The news columns in WSJ go

on to discuss the “compelling interest” of local governments in protecting health and safety of their citizens. This may override “taking” claims of property owners. It offers many reasonable compromises. The article points out how such arrangements can be made to work to the satisfaction of fellow land owners, fellow citizens and the oil companies. One thing the article does not discuss, though I must point it out: Those “greedy oil companies” happen to be numerous right here in SE Minnesota. Have you checked where your money market and other stock investments have been placed? Is it a sin to put our interests into entities called corporations (embodiments), hire other people to specialize their talents and education and work for us? Others have convincingly

argued that the corporation is, or at least can be, a very useful and ethical device for gathering enough capital and management talent to produce such large projects as building super highways and manufacture millions of automobiles each year. The complete article (Wall Street Journal, August 1, 2014) is available through usual library sources.

C ommentary Fired up By Yvonne Nyenhuis ‘Tis the season. In the 2010 election, Congress was taken over by a group of politicians who are extreme in their beliefs and don’t represent the majority of the American people. The result Yvonne has been Nyenhuis gridlock in government, unparalleled in the history of our country. As we approach the coming election, we are bombarded with lies and misinformation and charged with the difficult task of “separating the wheat from the chaff”! We are subjected to well worn myths.

The Republicans who claim to be the party of “fiscal responsibility” spent over 40 million dollars of tax payers money on the Whitewater investigation during the Clinton administration. They were delighted when the investigation expanded to include President Clinton’s indiscreet relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Newt Gingrich enthusiastically zoned in on the President’s infidelity. The fact that he himself was involved in an extra-marital affair didn’t slow him down. The world was coming apart. “The American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were simultaneously blown up by al-Qaeda. In Nairobi, 257 people were killed.” The media simply ignored the tragedy and concentrated on the president’s sex life. Republicans promptly seized

on President Clinton’s immoral behavior and created a new myth. They were the party of “moral and spiritual” values. When the Bush administration came into office in 2001 they aligned themselves with the religious right. In “Porgy and Bess”, “Sporting life” preaches at a church picnic. He sings a song, “The t’ings dat yo li’ble to read in de Bible, it ain’t necessarily so.” The Bush administration, when they came into office, chose to ignore the information concerning the threat posed by al-Qaeda and the Taliban. “Nine-eleven” happened on the Bush watch, dispelling another myth. Republicans have always claimed to be “strong on national security”. The eight years of BushCheney included two misguided wars, a major recession, the hurricane Katrina fiasco, a prescription drug program, and tax breaks for the rich. These misadventures contributed 5.1 trillion dollars to the national debt. Under Reagan, federal spending rose to its highest level in relation to national output in American history. The income of the poorest 20% fell by more than a tenth during his Presidency. The top 20% increased

REASONS TO VOTE

• 55% is not guaranteed; if we are audited, we may all lose. • State money is dependent on an annual positive review by the state commissioner and based on a complicated formula. • The tax burden is to high. • The building site has unresolved easements. • The location has no sidewalks. • There is no plan for the old properties. • Abandons the Peterson part of Rushford-Peterson. • Each household will be on the hook for more than double their estimated taxes if the state does not come through. • Having ideas is not having a plan. • We have not seen a model of the proposed school. • We have been bullied and lied to. • 6 businesses in town are already in forbearance or default; it is not fair to put more burdens on them. • Burdening local businesses with taxes drives them away and hinders new growth. • Saying someone is willing to look at the old schools to repurpose them is not a plan. • One small business is facing a $7,000/year increase. This is more than businesses can afford. • What state money there is will not go away if we wait. • Air quality, heating, cooling, and dehumidifying, can be done by Ecomfort for around $1000.00 per room. A fraction of the $3-4 million estimate from Ehlers. (less that $200,000.00). • If you are on the fence about how to vote, vote no now and wait to vote yes until you are certain.

by a fifth. (ref. American Caesars by Nigel Hamilton) By comparison, under Clinton, ‘‘the national deficit was halved, ten million new jobs were added, unemployment was at its lowest level for 28 years and the minimum wage had increased.” Still repeated by republicans is the charge that Democrats are “Big Spenders”! Finally, we might consider what our country would be like if John McCain and Sarah Palin had gone to the White House. Good judgment is the most important requirement for a President. While John McCain is a patriot and a hero, his choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate was reckless and irresponsible. If by some turn of fate Sarah had become President, what would our country be like?

If Mitt Romney had become President? His comment on the rescue of the auto industry. “He would have let them go bankrupt!” His advice to young people who want to go to college – “If you don’t have the money, borrow from your parents.” He observed “There is a safety net for poor people who are sick, they can go to the E.R.” “Corporations are people, my friends!” Forty-seven percent of Americans are lazy and looking for a hand out.” (He was implicit in outsourcing jobs to other countries.) Yes, we have much to consider. Often the contest is close and the outcome is decided by a small number of votes. Like Superman, we seek “Truth, Justice and the American way!”

would not allow a public street. Linder assured those in attendance that he had personally reviewed the document. Board member Taylor Peterson indicated he had spoken with the current owner and that future intents are to sell the property, although there are no offers of purchase currently. Superintendent Chuck Ehler stated he had contacted legal counsel regarding open meeting rules, following some recent speculation of illegal meetings. The district has been advised best practice measures of keeping doors open, to ensure there are no suspicions. While the meeting was relatively short in duration, the public comment portion of the meeting brought forth concerns from several members of the public. Also called out was recent behavior by the board which some have deemed as bullying tactics. Citing an April 22, 2013 article referencing a discussion over board transparency, the board was criticized for its reaction to a concern from board member Taylor Peterson. “Bullying is not acceptable. I don’t see the transparency,” noted Butch Johnson. Peterson had questioned board members lingering after adjournment of meetings and his concerns drew a quip and some laughter from the board. “That was a classless move. Absolutely classless,” added Johnson.

The board also discussed the need for all committee members to be in attendance at special meetings. “Committee members need to be at meetings. All need to be involved,” stressed board member Greg Smith. Some public comments have suggested the future facilities committee was an unfair representation; however, the meeting was open to all. “Even vote no OCT. 26th could attend, everyone in here had the full right to do it,” stated committee member Andy Prinsen. As the district continues towards the hotly-contested referendum, the need for mutual respect looms large on both sides. As signs have popped up all over town, there has been

COUPON

By Kirsten Zoellner The district continues to address issues regarding the $38 million referendum, specifically those raised at recent forums, which haven’t eased public rumor and speculation. While the cost continues to be a major issue for many, as noted during the public comment portion of the October 20 school board meeting, other issues are under negotiation or advisement from legal counsel. One item of interest is related to an easement to private land adjacent to the proposed site of the new school. According to School Board chairman John Linder, the easement allows access through the districtowned property to privately held property beyond. The easement would transfer with sale of the property and is subject to restriction. Linder also noted that if the property were sold to a public entity, the owner would have to find another route of access. Easement restrictions

theft regarding some. The district had given permission for a “Vote No” sign to be erected at the site for the new school during the week, along with two large signs from the “Vote Yes” committee. The “No” sign had been stolen. Two additional signs had been put up October 20, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with both also being stolen, as had some signs on private property. “We talked about respecting each other’s opinion,” stressed Heidi Halvorson. Superintendent Ehler granted permission for a new sign to be erected at the site. Election day is Tuesday,

• A new school is a sign of a vibrant, growing and progressive community, the type of community that’s attractive to people and businesses. • We believe the tax implications of a no vote would be a greater burden on our business and community, long term. • Our children deserve a safe learning environment to prepare them for jobs of the future. • When our schools were built the citizens believed in the future of our communities.

Peterson approves County 25 project By Kirsten Zoellner Peterson saw standing room only at the Wednesday, October 22 council meeting, a portion of which was dedicated to a second public hearing on the County 25 project planned for 2015. The state aid highway is scheduled to have a complete reconstruction and the city is seizing the opportunity to upgrade infrastructure, including water mains and some electrical. More than 20 concerned citizens packed into city hall and as a panel of experts went over proposed details of the work. Panelists included Fillmore County engineer Ron Gregg, SEH project engineer David Strauss, David Drown

Associates finance advisor Mike Bubany, city attorney Richard Nethercut, and Fillmore County Public Health educator Brenda Pohlman. Summary presentation by Strauss covered current plans to date and was noted as proposed, rather than final design, including all possible scopes of work. State statutes require public hearing prior to adoption of a resolution ordering a project which will be bonded for and while the scope of the project may be reduced following the hearing, it cannot be increased.

ments, and water enterprise funds. One possible scenario presented noted as much as 32 percent of project funding coming from water enterprise funds with 51 percent coming from tax increase. Final determination of funding will made following final design. Pohlman is currently completing a comprehensive survey of the city’s walkways through grant funding. She noted the state of disrepair of sidewalks, limited accessibility, and an eye towards future city planning. Citizens spoke out largely in favor of the water main work, which includes complete replacement of water mains on the Mill Street and south Church Street sections of County 25. However, they also highlighted ongoing concern over the cost, scope of electrical work, maintenance of improved and widened sidewalks along the Mill Street, unearthed and replaced sidewalks along the south Church Street, and watershed from the roadway. “If the road is already torn up, let’s just do it,” stated resident Chris Brennan. “Let’s do it and make sure the project is complete.” City clerk Megan Grebe stated the city included all possible electrical work into the estimated cost to meet statutes on public hearing. The city is intending to include only replacement

of conduit and wiring and the upgrade to LED (Light Emitting Diode) heads on current electrical poles as a cost saving measure for wiring and electrical wattage demand. Sidewalk width and placement will be determined during final design stage. According to Strauss, sidewalks will expand towards the roadway as property right of way is typically already the back side of a walkway. Curb stops currently in the sidewalks, a trip hazard, will be relocated outside of the walkway. Concern over who will maintain new and improved sidewalks, particularly in the winter, is still up for debate. Several elderly residents do not have the capability to maintain the walkways and so the city will consider all maintenance possibilities, including the option of the city clearing walkways along County 25 and having the cost assessed to affected property owners. “I ask you to consider the maintenance of sidewalks, the extra burden to residents,” stressed resident Katrina Guise. The southernmost portion of Church Street, along the corner east of Deep River Road, sees an exceptional amount of watershed and residents in the area questioned whether the county could address it at the time. The work isn’t currently included in the scope of estimated plans, as noted by Gregg, but could be looked at as a separate project potentially addressed during the

same time span. “I looked at the League of Minnesota Cities, for stones to throw, but I haven’t found any,” noted resident David Buchholz, whose estimated assessment is one of the highest in the city. The current timeline for the project allows for final plans and specifications to be done, with them scheduled to be reviewed for acceptance later this winter. Bid letting, opening, and award could be as early as March 2015. A preconstruction conference would be held prior to commencement. Construction could begin as soon as mid-May, once road bans are off, according to Gregg. The project would be completed by fall 2015. The city is also reviewing its deferred assessment policy. Currently, Mayor Jennifer Wood and Clerk Grebe feel that the written guidelines would preclude anyone from qualifying. The city is considering adopting changes that would limit eligibility to HUD (Housing and Urban Development) guidelines, specifically income guidelines for Section 8 Housing. Those receiving deferment would also be subject to eligibility requirements of being 65 year of age or older or totally disabled. “As black and white as it can be,” suggested Grebe. The city will continue to look into the policy.

DON’T PUT OUR FINANCIAL FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF ST. PAUL POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS

VOTE NO R-P School Bond Levy

We are being asked to approve a $38,000,000 bond levy for the construction of a new K-12 facility in Rushford. The financial viability of this proposal is totally dependent on the State of Minnesota contributing 55%, or approx $31,000,000 of the total $56,000,000 in principal and interest in annual payments over the next 20 years, or approximately $1,600,000 each year. Without this 55% contribution, even the school board and superintendent agree there is no way the community could afford to build the proposed $38,000,000 facility. The problem is that this $31,000,000 is NOT GUARANTEED. While the current legislature has approved this debt equalization payment for 2015, the statute requires (confirmed by Dr. Tom Melcher of the Minneapolis Dept of Education School Finance), the district must submit a request for payment to the state every year for the next 20 years for that year’s principal and interest payment of approx $1,600,000. This uncertainty is also referenced in the Positive Review and Comment letter of Sept. 4, 2014 from the Minneapolis Dept of Education commissioner, Dr. Brenda Cassellius, to R-P Supt. Ehler. That letter states “The amount of debt service equalization aid the district receives is determined annually and is dependent upon property wealth, student population, and other statutory requirements.” We must trust our financial survival to yet unelected future legislatures. If a future legislature makes changes to the equalization funding statutes that would reduce or eliminate funding, the district taxpayers must make up the difference. This would devastate the local economy by almost anyone’s measure but it will be too late. Who would we hold accountable?

Other Factors to consider:

The proposed tax increase is cumulative. The property tax increases of the proposed $38,000,000 bond levy are IN ADDITION to the current property tax levies and are “Best Case” values. Taxpayers should consider the cumulative effect of this increase along with increases already approved or being considered for city and county levies, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, and income taxes at both the state and federal levels. These tax increases come at a time when real wages and average family incomes continue to decline. This cumulative effect will be especially hard on lower and fixed income taxpayers, farmers, and local businesses. Some local taxpayers will suffer even more. For example, property owners immediately adjacent to the HWY 43 Project will be assessed $7,000 for water and sewer and $29 per Linear Foot for curb and gutter. Minnesota property tax refund and deferral programs vary greatly depending upon individual taxpayer circumstance and income. For instance, the Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral program is basically a loan from the state that must be paid back at an interest rate not to exceed 5%. By Law, a lien is placed on your home. We STRONGLY suggest taxpayers consult with their tax advisors before assuming these programs will provide them any assistance. Are we getting our monies worth with the proposed new school? Who knows? The proposed $38,000,000 school, along with land it sits on, would have a disproportionate worth that is nearly HALF THE TOTAL VALUE of all of land, homes, and businesses in Rushford. District taxpayers have not received any detailed information, specifications, drawings, or cost breakdowns of the proposed $38,000,000 school. What will the building look like? What will the classrooms, gym, cafeteria and library look like? What type of HVAC system and electrical system will be used? What materials will be used for the roof, the floors, the ceilings, etc.? Where is the breakdown of how the $38,000,000 is being spent? All we know for certain is where the proposed school will be located, the overall size and general layout, it will cost $38,000,000, and the architecture firm in charge of the project will receive approximately a $1,900,000 fee. None of the remaining detail will be provided until AFTER the bond levy is passed. In addition, the proposed building site is too small. Moreover, it has a previously unacknowledged 66 foot street easement running right through the building site that will likely result in legal conflict. This street easement is for a planned 40 home subdivision situated directly above the proposed school. All of these issues are UNRESOLVED yet the school board tells us everything is OK. What else haven’t they told us? Are the Community Task Force recommendations valid? One third of each of the two community based task forces were teachers and students in the R-P school system. What teacher or student wouldn’t want a brand new school? A biasneutral task force should have consisted of district taxpayers with NO AFFILIATION to the current school buildings.

A Better Solution: Repair and Remodel

While not ideal, the better choice is to repair and remodel the current facilities. Renovations could be prioritized and phased incrementally over a period of several years. Funding for these phased projects could come from a combination of the current operating budget and additional bond levies. We can still apply for state debt equalization funding to help with the cost but we don’t jeopardize our financial future if future legislatures reduce or eliminate payments. Proponents $18 million repair cost guesstimate is a wildly irresponsible and false fabrication. A phased approach designed to minimize taxes will significantly decrease the ultimate financial burden for district taxpayers. Employing local R-P tradesman and contractors would further reduce costs. Taxpayers deserve options going forward rather than the “new school or nothing” approach of this referendum. We have time to make the right decision. The state aid for the $38,000,000 new school proposal or the alternative repair and remodel option is not dependent on passing a bond levy this year. Let’s take the time to get ALL the information and let the taxpayers make their decision based on ALL the facts and ALL the alternatives.

Get out and Vote:

Your vote makes a difference. The Vote Yes Committee is well organized, well funded, and mobilized to force this bond levy on the district taxpayers.

Your NO vote can stop this dangerous gamble of our financial future.

rate was slightly better than projected and will save the city $5,000 in interest over the life of the bond. Reintroduction of Horses The council again discussed the request from John and Bernice Penrose to reintroduce two horses on their property located at 624 Fillmore St. At the last council meeting, the possibility of changing the farm animal ordinance 91.04 was discussed. After considerable debate, staff was directed to research this kind of ordinance. City administrator Joe Hoffman has since looked at several other area cities and their related ordinances. Harmony has exactly the same language. Chatfield requires property be zoned agricultural, rural residential. Spring Valley allows farm animals only if land is zoned agricultural. St. Charles limits animals within the city to traditional household pets. Greenfield lutheran youth detroit Mission trip fundraiser

Eyota allows farm animals on agricultural land only. The council seemed to have no interest in changing the ordinance requirement for the size of the lot from 10 acres to 1.5 acres or reducing the setback of the animal shelter from the property line from 300 feet to 50 feet. The changes would have allowed the Penrose family to have the two horses on their property. Hoffman said there has to be a line drawn between urban and residential. Mayor Kurt Reicks noted that the city ordinances are available on the city’s web page. He added that three citizens have talked to him about the issue since the last meeting and their concern was a potential odor problem. Bernice Penrose again asked if they leased additional land would it make a difference. City attorney Dwight Luhmann said he felt there are issues with a lease and additional land would still not deal with the required 300 foot setback of the animal shelter from an adjoining property. John Penrose said he is not asking the council to change the ordinance. However, he wanted some assurance from the council, if he made the investment to lease or purchase additional acres to get to the required 10 acres, that the barn could be grandfathered in as a shelter. He insisted the barn, which has been retrofitted for horses, was there first, before any of the surrounding residences. The houses were permitted to be built there while the barn was being used for livestock. It was also there before the ordinance was put into effect.

Mr. Penrose said he wanted to allow his wife to pass her legacy (her experiences with horses) to their children. He made it clear that if they could not find a way to work with the city, they would be forced to sell and move elsewhere, which they preferred not to do. He closed his remarks, with this plea, if there is a way, please consider it. No further action was taken by the council this day. Other Business in Brief •Two positions on the National Trout Center board of directors are appointed by the city council. Dan Christianson has one of these positions and former tourism director, Kathy Dahl, has held the other. George Spangler has requested that the council appoint someone to replace Dahl. After a short discussion, no decision was made. •Approval was given for the fifth pay requests for the Twenty-14 project ($366,901.83 for the North project and $394,071.81 for the South project).

HARMONY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

60 Main Ave. S., Harmony, MN 507-886-6851 • humc@harmonytel.net Worship every Sunday at 8:30 am Sunday School at 9:45 am • Coffee Fellowship at 9:30 am Pastor Michael W. Smith

Our Mission Statement: To live, love, teach, and serve as Jesus Christ taught us. Organized Methodism in Fillmore County had its beginning in 1854 in an old school house. In the following twenty to thirty years, there are few records, but it is known that pastors conducted services in the Marks School, located 6 miles west of Harmony, in Harmony and in Granger. The first Harmony Methodist Church was built in northeast Harmony and was dedicated in 1895. In 1915 enough funds had been raised to add a basement to the church for meetings, suppers, other social events, and a place for the overflowing Sunday school classes. Prior to then, all meetings were held in homes. As membership and Sunday school enrollment increased it became apparent to the congregation that a newer and larger church was needed; and a committee was formed to investigate various locations. By May of 1927 a new location was chosen for the second church to be built on South Main Avenue. This property was purchased and the new Harmony Methodist Church was built and later dedicated. After the initial pledge of $5,000 was made by the Ladies Aid, the church assumed the responsibility of the remaining church debt on which they made payments until 1944. At that time congregation members decided to conduct a special drive to make the final payment. We became known as the Harmony United Methodist Church when the Evangelical United Brethren churches and Methodist churches combined. Our church continued to grow and welcome members from the Granger United Methodist Church and the State Line United Methodist Church when each closed. We are an active worshipping, praying, serving and caring congregation who praises and gives thanks to God and what He has given us. We remember the needy and less fortunate by supporting their needs locally and in international mission effects. Our congregation is active in local community’s weekly women’s Bible Studies, our women’s UMW, and volunteering in our fellow churches, health care facilities, schools, and community events. Our members send health, school, and other kits for needy through United Methodist On Relief (UMCOR.) Our church also supports and donates to the Emma Norton services in the Twin Cities; Red Bird Mission; sends clothing, needed items and Christmas gifts to a church in Appalachia; as well as volunteer drivers for Harmony’s Meals on Wheels; donates to the Fillmore County Food Shelf throughout the year; donates to our local schools for school supplies and the milk program; and Christmas in Fillmore County. Our congregation also serves the 4th of July Smoked Pork Chop Dinner in Selvig Park during Harmony’ s celebration; UMW Salad Luncheon in August; Apple Fest on the Saturday of Fall Foliage Days; and the UMW Spring Fling/May Fair in April/May. Originally, our annual Beef Dinner was organized and served by the Harmony Methodist Men’s Club as a project of both the Harmony and State Line Men. The dinners were then served on a Wednesday evening by the men and young men of the two congregations. All profits were directed to the maintenance of the shared parsonage. Today, our Beef Dinner is prepared and served on the first Sunday in November by our entire congregation. Please join us for our annual, locally grown, served family style Beef Dinner on Sunday, November 2nd. We welcome everyone to worship and share fellowship with us each Sunday where we are reminded, “When worship is over, our service begins…”

Houston Superintendent gives VCP update By Angie Rodenburg The Houston School Board held a meeting on October 21. During the public comment portion of the evening, Audrey Hegland and Cynthie Christensen represented the Houston County Farm Bureau and expressed their gratitude to the board for the work they’ve done to bring agriculture classes and FFA back to Houston. “FFA teaches a lot of leadership quali-

ties and responsibility and service to the community,” said Hegland. They also dialogued with the board about how there are so many diverse job opportunities in agriculture that don’t involved sitting on a tractor at all. They added that they would be happy to offer assistance during career days to help share the variety of jobs available with students. Superintendent Krin Abraham started the ball rolling on the evening’s agenda by giving a VCP (voluntary compliance) update. At the last board meeting, Abraham informed the school board of drainage issues they were having in the new locker room showers that had just been redone. The only way to resolve the drainage issues is to tear up the work that had been done and start over after first correcting the sloping issue. The firm that had done the proj-

ect regrets the problems, according to Abraham, and will be doing the demolition themselves, free of charge. They will also not charge for any of the work they had done on the showers. The question still remains; however, who is responsible for the drainage problem. It is possible that it was a tiling problem or incorrect sloping work done by a different company. They will not have their answer until demolition is completed and the issue can be assessed more accurately. Superintendent Abraham is working on gathering new bids to redo the project. In the mean time, students are able to use the showers until the demolition project begins. Until then, they will continue to squeegee the floors to drain the showers. During the meeting, Superintendent Abraham also presented the option of contracting Unesco

According to the literature distributed at the meeting, “Unesco will perform a comprehensive and detailed energy and operational analysis of your facilities. The Master Facility Plan is intended to furnish Houston Schools with study findings, conclusions, alternatives, and recommendations which would assist the District’s leadership in fashioning a comprehensive plan of action intended to achieve enrollment stability and growth, improve learning environments, and enhance effectiveness, efficiency, and cost/effectiveness of the District’s operations.” Unesco would investigate the conditions of a variety of areas including, but not limited to: accessibility, electrical systems, capital equipment/ assets, life safety systems, and ventilation/dehumidification systems. Once facilities improvements are done, Unesco may provide ongoing services such as energy report-

ing, on-going facility monitoring and annual guaranteed savings reconciliation. Before the board is willing to make a decision, they said they wanted to hear feedback of other schools that have worked with the company. They also want additional information about possible contract negotiations, such as having a shorter-term commitment with the company. One request made of the board was the hiring of a JV dance coach and restarting the JV dance team. It was pointed out that in order to continue to have a quality varsity program and develop younger, less experienced athletes, a JV program is important. The expected cost of the program would be $3,286. This would pay for a B Team coach and meet fees. The board approved the costs and restarting of the JV team. The next school board meeting will be held on Monday, November 3 at 6 p.m. at the Houston High School Library.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende Mabel-Canton’s Mitch Kuhn wasn’t the Cougars’ main weapon versus Lanesboro. We didn’t tote the ball 34 times like teammate Wayne Ross. He wasn’t Ross’ running partner in crime like We s t o n Whalen. He didn’t co m p l e t e all but one of his passes like QB Wesley Richert. But the junior made two big plays at critical times that Paul Trende allowed M-C to stave off a valiant Burro comeback. The last occurred with 0:00 on the clock. It preserved an M-C win. The first half was all Cougars. M-C had a 15-play scoring drive in the first quarter, and a 16-play scoring drive in the second, both capped by Ross runs (1 yard, 20 yards). Lanesboro took over with 1:44 left in the half trailing 14-0. Ross then intercepted a deflected pass. Richert found Whalen out of the backfield for a 5-yard TD pass with 0:12.7 left in the second to give M-C a 21-0 halftime lead. It was a semi-shocker considering the teams entered with equivalent 4-3 records, losses coming to the

same three state ranked teams (SG, GM, Randolph). Burros and wagons are somehow related, so the former rallied the later. Lanesboro played the ball control game in the third quarter. Their first drive went seven-plays and 57 yards. Will Semmen capped the series with a 4-yard QB-keep TD. Liam Dorn added a 2-point run. After an M-C fumble, Lanesboro went on a 12-play, 66-yard drive. Dorn’s 19-yard scamper around left end closed the gap to 21-14 heading to the fourth. Midway in, the Burros got a fourth down stop, generating more momentum. But they fumbled on their very first offensive play. Two plays later, Richert hit the junior Kuhn, wide open on a flag route, for the 33-yard score. M-C again went ahead by two scores (28-14). They stopped Lanesboro’s next series on fourth down. The Cougars ran some time off and punted with 2:30 remaining. Burro senior Tylar Miller than breathed life in his club with every step he sprinted down the sideline. His 85-yard punt return TD, and the ensuing Semmen to Matthew Luck 2-point conversion, trimmed M-C’s lead to 28-22 with 2:14 left. Out of time-outs, Lanesboro was still in a difficult spot. They forced M-C backward offensively, and forced a punt. But with 0:23.5 seconds left, they needed a miracle. They got it. The snap was high and bobbled. Whalen was tackled at the M-C

Chiropractic’s Conservative Care First Approach During NCHM in October, Dr. Bill and Kristi Mettler will share informaton about the chiropratic “conservative care first” approach and why it is especially significant to todayʼs health care consumers. This in turn will help patients have well informed conversations with their health care providers, empowering them to become their own advocates by insisting on information about conservative treatment options.

Why is “Conservative Care First” more important today than ever in facing our nationʼs healthcare challenges?

• Numerous recent studies have clearly shown the dangerous overreliance in the U.S. on prescription painkillers that simply mask pain, but do not cure. This has tremendously increased Americansʼ risk for overuse, and abuse, of these drugs if taken for long periods, leading to over 17,000 related deaths in 2010 (more than heroin and cocaine combined). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls the abuse of prescription pain medications an “epidemic.” • Recent reports question the overuse--and in some cases the effectiveness--of more invasive treatments such as spinal fusion surgery and spinal steroid injections for back pain. It makes sense for patients to exhaust more conservative options before undergoing these costly procedures.

• DCs are the highest-rated healthcare practitioner for low-back pain treatments with their patient-centered, whole person approach that provides greater interaction and listening for appropriate diagnosis and developing more cost-effective treatment planning.

“During National Chiropractic Healh Month weʼre reminding patients to ask about conservative options when weighing their health care choices,” says Dr. Bill Mettler. “Chiropratic treatment is a much more safe and cost-effective option for back and neck pain that may reduce the need for unnecessary drugs and surgery.” www.mettlerchiro.com or call (507) 346-1077

7-yard line! With 0:19.2 seconds left, Lanesboro just needed to cover seven yards for the improbable comeback. A run play was stopped. Lanesboro spiked the ball. With 3.3 ticks left, it came down to one play. The Burros ran the same thing they had for a two-point conversion earlier in the fourth. But this time, Kuhn intercepted the pass intended for Luck, cementing the M-C win with nothing on the clock. M-C got the 28-22 to-the-wire win, one that secured them the #3 seed in the Section 1 9-man playoffs. Ross was an absolute workhorse for the Cougars (34-132, 2 TDs rushing). He ends the regular season with 19 rushing TD’s. Whalen (16-46, TD receiving) was his best running accomplice. The senior QB Richert, in just his second start, was 6-7 for 77 yards and 2 TDs. Kuhn caught three for 59 and the score, plus the all-critical pick. Lanesboro turned to their senior running triad, Dorn (17-129, TD rushing), Miller (13-68 rushing, 85-yard PR TD), and Semmen (TD rushing). Lanesboro falls to 4-4. They are the 4-seed and will host 5-seed Houston.

Falcons and Knights Get Offensive

A match-up of Fillmore Central (1-6) and Kingsland (0-7), by records, again begged competitiveness. It was in a way. Each team made multiple big plays. Each scored a season high in points. One just put a lot more points on the board than the other. FC had the game’s only first quarter score. A Dylan Bathke 53-yard gallop set up a 1-yard Tyson Ristau plunge (6-0). Then came the 39-point second quarter. Riley Means performed the sack-force routine on Knight QB Quinn Larson. Falcon Nick Mensink returned the fumble 49 yards into FC territory. Bryce Whitehill hit Trace Tollefson immediately (21 yards) to make it 12-0 FC. Kingsland’s ensuing offensive play saw freshman tailback Reece Eickhoff go 66-yards around end for a TD (12-6). FC waited exactly four plays to score again, a Bathke 12-yard TD run. The Falcons got a stop, and marched again. Whitehill found pay-dirt from 1-yard away to make it 27-6 Falcons. Kingsland was again denied. Whitehill again found Tollefson for six (24 yards). Second quarter scoring look over with FC leading 33-6 very late only for Eickhoff to return the ensuing kickoff 65 yards. A play later Larson trekked in up the middle from eight away, finally ending the fireworks show. At half, FC led 33-12. The teams exchanged turnovers back, forth, and back again, to begin the third stanza. Kingsland’s second miscue led to Whitehill hitting Jordan Miller

from 14-yards out. Kingsland got the score back late in the quarter. Larson aired-it-out to Josh Bradley for a 75-yard scoring play. FC then added a pair of fourth quarter scores; Whitehill to Miller again (20 yards) and Brady Ristau (1-yard run). FC got their second win of the season 53-18. The senior QB Whitehill brought his two-game TD-total to seven by throwing for four more scores (11-16, 155 yards, INT). He added a fifth TD on the ground. Fellow senior Dylan Bathke rushed 22 times for 191 yards and a TD. The junior Tollefson (4-69 receiving) and senior Miller (3-42 receiving) each caught two TD passes. Ristau had 64 offensive yards and a rushing TD. The Sophomore LB Means had a sackforce-fumble and an interception. FC’s 53 points was just ten less than their combined total in their seven preceding games (63). The Falcons are the 7-seed in Section 1A and will play at undefeated #6 Blooming Prairie. For Kingsland, Larson (9-17, 197 yards, TD, INT passing; TD rushing) cued the attack. Eickhoff had 15 carries for 89 yards and a TD. Bradley caught two for 102 and a TD. Kingsland’s three total TD’s equaled the number of times it’d found pay-dirt on the season coming in. They are the 8-seed in Section 1A and will play at Rushford-Peterson. R-P won a week one meeting 47-0.

They won Pool B and lost to Big Nine champion, 23-3 Mayo in the title game. The Falcons finish the regular season at 12-0, 21-7. It is their fourth straight 20-win season. They are 1A-East’s second seed. R-P volleyball lost a battle for TRC third place to St. Charles 3-2. Bailey Holien (19 kills, 10 digs) and Brianna Koop (17 kills, 31 digs) led the Trojans.

Domestic Shorthair/Mix

Floyd here. Nope, not PINK Floyd! Did ya know that my name actually means “gray” in Welsh? How about that! I AM gray - uh, maybe I’ m brown? With stripes. Lots of em. And white socks. I was found in Stewartville under a shed. Sahara was in a foster home with her babies, and she took me in and nursed me like one of her own. I am peppy and agile, and am so happy when I can play with other kitties. When I need a break, I’ll lie on top of you or near you and let you pet me for a while. I love other cats, and I would seriously love to have a playmate in my new home. Please come and see if “Mini” Floyd is right for your band!

Recycling 101 By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Thanks to several hundred of you, Fillmore County held a very successful Household Hazardous Waste Day on October 7. One hundred seventy vehicles bringing HHW from more than two hundred seventy-five households stopped by with their LaVerne C. Paulson donations. The crew of eight was kept quite busy for five hours unloading thirty four vehicles per hour... an average of four or five minutes per vehicle. A very large majority of the comments on the completed surveys were very positive. Several people commented that the event was “awesome”. One person even used the same word to comment on the crew. When it was over, we had collected eight 55 gallon drums of partially filled aerosol cans, a lot of anti-freeze, fuel, garden pesticides and herbicides, rechargeable and button batteries, and two mercury thermometers. Of course, paint was the most common item donated. Fourteen large cardboard containers were filled with paint cans. I can only assume those containers hold somewhere between 1800 and 2000 gallons of partially filled paint cans. Yes, that is a lot of paint. May 5, the first Tuesday of May 2015, will be your next opportunity to get rid of your Household Hazardous Waste in Fillmore County. If you must dispose of HHW before that date, Olmsted County accepts hazardous waste throughout the year. However, as a Fillmore County resident, you will be charged a fee for this service. We get a lot of HHW questions throughout the year as to what should be brought as hazardous waste. Perhaps the next few paragraphs will answer some of your questions. We want only partially filled aerosol cans. If they are empty, they are landfill garbage, or you can deposit them in the metal container here at the Recycling Center. If your paint cans are empty or dried out, we don’t want them either. Empty or dried out paint cans are landfill items... send them with your garbage. If a battery is rechargeable, it is most likely of the “Ni-Cad” vari-

ety and is hazardous waste. The same goes for button batteries, such as the ones used in hearing aids, watches, and television remotes. Alkaline batteries are considered landfill garbage in Fillmore County. I keep reminding you to bring your mercury thermometers to HHW Day. Please allow me to remind you of this again, and I am sure this will not be the last time. There are a lot of thermostats, light switches, and other items that contain mercury as well. They are hazardous waste and should be brought to us when replaced. Bring your unwanted lawn and plant fertilizer, as well as your excess pesticides to us. We will accept your fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. We will also accept ant, mouse, rat, and gopher poison you no longer need. How about all that stuff under your sink? If you don’t think you will use a few of those

household cleaners, check for words such as “danger”, “poison”, “warning”, “corrosive”, or “flammable”. These words are associated with hazardous materials and should be brought to us if you have no use for them. If your hazardous waste is in a glass container, please pack it carefully to assure it doesn’t tip or spill during transport. If you have a paint can or two that might be a bit rusty (and trust me, we get quite a few of these at each event), place them in a plastic container or “double bag” them in a couple of plastic bags. You don’t want that paint in your vehicle and we don’t want it on the floor of our work area. It is also very helpful if you would bring your “donations” in boxes or containers you don’t want to take home. If you have any further questions or comments on recycling or hazardous waste in Fillmore County, please feel free to contact me at: lpaulson@co.fillmore.mn.us, or email: lpaulson@co.fillmore. mn.us.

A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little CONNOISSEUR is a French word meaning a person who has expert knowledge and keen discrimination in some field, especially in the fine arts or matters of taste. Well, not to brag but I am a connoisseur...........of cardboard boxes ! It has taken me a lot of time and effort to become one. My first bout of “organizing mania” started even before there were “de-cluttering consultants” charging $l00 an hour. It began with a sale at a big box store in a neighboring city on big blue plastic totes. Yes, advertising does work. As I looked at the flier I could see in my mind a totally organized walk-in attic and an uncluttered garage. It was simply a matter of buying these totes.

I drove to the store and found the totes. They were indeed big and blue. I had two projects in mind so I purchased twenty thinking I could always come back for more later. Getting them into my car was quite troublesome because they wouldn’t all fit in the back seat. I put the rest in my trunk, but of course then I couldn’t close it. Well, I had witnessed my husband tie the trunk door down with rope before. In fact, said rope was still in the trunk. I didn’t know exactly how to tie the trunk door down but how hard could it be to tie a knot? It was more difficult than I

THANKS Heartfelt thanks to friends & family for their concern & compassion before, during, and after my cancer surgery. I appreciate the calls, visits, cards, and especially the prayers, which are always the most important! A special thanks to my kids for spending tremendous amounts of time organizing a cancer benefit, for which the proceeds will be divided for our uncovered medical bills and cancer research, which affects us all. Lastly, I would like to thank my wife, Rose, who took a lot of time off from work to be with and care for me, night and day. Thank God for her nursing abilities, it allowed me to sneak out of the hospital a little earlier than planned! (Although they were most likely happy to get rid of me!) God Bless You All! Steve Lee

imagined! As I pulled out of the parking lot I realized I couldn’t see anything in my rear view mirror. Still, I had my side mirror to depend on. I drove 30 miles per hour all the way home because I feared that the rope would break and my totes would all fall out and litter the highway. Can nothing ever be easy? Obviously not, because having tied so many knots to hold the trunk door down, I couldn’t get them untied. Fortunately, I cut them before my husband came home and wondered what “Lucy moment” I was having. Now a 25 gallon tote is quite roomy and will hold a lot of STUFF. However once stuffed with stuff, it was too heavy to move by myself. Enter husband, my knight in shining armor asking in a sarcastic tone, “Are you sure they’re big enough?” Needing his help in lifting the 20 stuffed totes, I said nothing and just gave him a helpless female smile. Those totes were worth their sale price because my attic was now uncluttered. My husband was not impressed with all my work since we moved said totes to his garage, which now was even more cluttered. Some people are really, really hard to please! A wise person learns from her mistakes. I decided that cardboard boxes would work better for organizing the rest of my stuff because they were free, and I didn’t need to ask “Mr. Grumpy Pants” for

help. I started with boxes from school that held copy paper. They even had a cover. All the teachers coveted these boxes and we were put on a waiting list by the school secretary to get them. Then the Principal decided that we were stealing school property. We were all given a lecture, didn’t have to return any boxes, but could never get anymore. I suspect she has them in her garage or attic filled with her stuff! Next I moved on to Heineken beer boxes. The 18 pack box was just the right size and even had handles on the sides. They stacked perfectly and fit under the eaves in the attic. I needed a lot of these boxes. I explained this need to my husband and for once he was cooperative, even enthusiastic in helping me with this project. Then the 12 pack size was the only size available in my area. This size was too small for my purposes. Since I don’t even drink the stuff, I informed my husband that he could stop helping me. Was he grateful? No. Next, I tried egg boxes free from the grocery store. They were a manageable size and also had handles on the sides. I was starting to feel like Goldilocks ........first the containers were too big, then they were too small, and now they were just the right size. My sister, Barb, told me about the egg boxes. She has packed stuff in them for

years. She warned me they were very popular and to call ahead and request them. She was right. Still I know they are available on Tuesdays and Fridays after 10:30 and have gotten more than my fair share. Everybody keep on eating eggs! Still de-cluttering isn’t easy. What to keep and what to throw? A lovely woman from my book club seems to have the answer. She has a room in her basement that she stores stuff in for seven years before she makes a final decision as to what stays and what goes. She calls this room Purgatory. I love that idea, but as my husband has explained to me, there are no empty rooms in the basement because he has been forced( by someone who invaded his garage) to store HIS stuff there! Obviously we need a bigger house or I need to be more persuasive. Well, the way to my husband’s heart is through his stomach, so I will have to keep on cooking. I suggest trying this recipe if your husband (like mine) is a meat and mashed potatoes man.

matt Kirkpatrick, Attorney Can we get divorced while waiting for our house to sell? The simple answer is “yes” However, the attorney answer is “yes, but…” A house bought during the marriage is an asset subject to division. If you and your spouse agree that neither of you will keep the house and the house must be sold, then you have options. One option is agreeing to the sale of the house after the divorce in your Marital Termination Agreement, Stipulation or Joint Petition. Simple, right? Yes, in theory. However, you need to remember the details that went into the decision-making to purchase the house. These same details need to be outlined in your resulting divorce decree - including timeline for listing, responsibility for closing costs, handling of offers, etc. – to avoid confusion and further court time to interpret. Regardless of how amicable the separation is, a lack of clarity may add unnecessary frustration and delay to the sale. Our office can help you with navigating this process whether you are in the beginning stages of discussing or final stages of drafting the appropriate language.

Lyndon Lee Is a tornado proof home possible?

With tornados becoming more common with global climate changes, it makes a lot a sense to build homes that are tornado proof. not only can we save more lives, but our rebuilding costs for insurance companies and FEmA will save us all money. is it possible? Well yes and no. icF concrete walls can be made to withstand the 250 mph winds that the strongest tornados can produce, but flying debris can penetrate windows, doors or a wood framed roof. We can anchor the roof with special long straps that are cast into the concrete and wrap around the trusses, but the roof can still be vulnerable if the tornado is a direct hit. We can build the roof out of concrete, but the safest option for a truly tornado proof home is to build an interior “safe room” with no openings and a steel door. A favorite location for the “safe room” is the mechanical or utility room because you can isolate all the noise of the mechanical items, furnace, fresh air system, washer and dryer etc. and make the interior comfort better. Another huge benefit of making the house tornado proof is that a lot of insurance companies are giving discounts of up to 25% for concrete homes. the rebuilding cost of concrete homes hit by tornados is a fraction of the cost to rebuild compared to stick framed construction, where the house and contents are typically a total loss. concrete Homes are Stronger, Quieter, Healthier and more Energy Efficient. Build different, Build Better.

Jason Sethre, Publisher Question: What is recency factor?

Answer: Psychologists refer to this phenomenon when people are asked to recall in any order the items on a list, and those that come at the end of the list are more likely to be recalled than the others. In the business of marketing to consumers to sell a product or service, you will always want to consider a balance between recency and frequency. There is no perfect formula. It really depends on what you are selling, and your market. As always, our team is knowledgeable and honest about the best way to reach your target audience. We treat your advertising investment as if it was our own money. Our goal is to get you desired results. If you’d like to learn more about advertising options, please call our office and we will be happy to assist.

Ph. 507-765-3642 Preston, MN Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm Scott Sat 8 - Noon BrunSvold Calculate what you can afford When considering your next vehicle purchase, make sure you really know what you can afford. Even if your budget is able to absorb a $400.00 a month payment, will that stretch you too thin in case any unknown expenses come up? Would you like to have your max payment so the term of the loan is shorter, hence paying less interest? Or, if you plan on keeping a vehicle for X amount of years, make that the length of the note if you are happy with those payments. Don’t fall into the trap some dealers will pull when they qualify you for more of a payment than you want by just simply signing here. In these times with fluctuating gas prices it is probably best to not do your max budget. Enjoy the beautiful fall weather.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Licensedone Real Estate Agent If you are considering selling land orMN an acreage, thing I would suggest Cell: 507-269-2742 is to begin cataloging photos and pictures that best showcase your property. Many times when I meet with sellers they something to the extent of “You Emailsay : Chad@WeissChoice.com should see this place in the fall, the are just unbelievable.” When I ask Visitcolors us at www.WeissChoice.com whether they have any pictures that show the fall colors, they are often at a loss. Think about what makes your property spectacular and start recording that through photos. Keep a file specifically for this purpose. Especially when it comes to seasonal events like fresh snow, spring flowers and of course, fall colors. Keep in mind a potential buyer often only has a few days or weeks to make a decision as to purchase or to look for something different. You want to be able to give them a year round perspective of the benefits. A selling feature that gets often overlooked by sellers in being able to exhibit the wildlife found on the property. A great way to do this is with pictures that come from motion activated game cameras. These provide amazing wildlife photos of all sorts. Another way to call attention to the hunting or fishing opportunities is to have tasteful pictures of game harvested or fish caught on the land. Creating a great visual display with an array of photos truly helps envelope the complete package of features and benefits that come along with your property.

Is your garden as attractive in the winter as it is in the summer? Evergreens, trees, shrubs and resilient perennials contribute color, texture and form regardless of snow cover. Ever greens are the backbone of cold-climate winter gardens. Using evergreens in different color ranges adds extra dimension. Ornamental grasses left unsheared provide delicate contrast against a stark, white blanket of snow and add movement in the winter garden. Not all deciduous trees and shrubs drop their leaves when fall arrives. Also, many color the landscape with their textured bark and colorful, persistent fruit. Horizontal limbs catch fallen snow and form striking patterns while cascading branches create interesting silhouettes. Structures of all sorts and stonework can create eye-appeal as well. A professional landscape design will incorporate select, specific elements to enhance your garden.

How important is the design of my website? First impressions are very important. Whether a customer is stopping into your business, calling you on the phone or visiting your website, the design of your website should directly reflect what your business is and offers. Can users access and find important information easily? The layout and website navigation is just as important as the colors, fonts and images used. The first page will either engage visitors to explore more, or if they are unsure what your business offers or if the website is unorganized, they will probably hit the back key and look at the next website on the list. Website templates are a quick and cheap way to create a website, but you are very limited on the overall design, colors and content layout. Consider a custom designed website that is built specifically for your business and branding. Many web developers are good at the technical skill needed to create a website, but they may not have much design skill. Make sure you hire someone who is skilled in both. Your website is another form of marketing your business and users can visit anytime.

I want to purchase a handgun or semi-automatic military-style assault weapon. Do I need a permit and if so ,where do I get the permit?

fall fertilization

Mike McDowell, Agronomist

Cell: 563-568-8959 | mcdowell.m@farmelev.coop

3 reasons to fertilize in the fall

timeliness: There is more time to put fertilizer

on all types of ground cover in the fall, when you aren’t trying to plant and fertilize between spring rains, and applicators aren’t balancing time between sprayers and fertilizer spreaders. Less soil compaction risk: Generally in the fall, soils are dryer than in the spring. Heavy fertilizing equipment on wet soil can cause compaction in the rooting zone, causing roots to pancake or spread out when they hit a compacted layer of soil, resulting in poor crop standability and less nutrient uptake. Increase winter hardiness: According to an article from the University of Purdue, adding potassium to alfalfa fields in the fall can increase the plant’s winter hardiness and survival. (A link to the Purdue artilce is on our website.)

Fountain comes to agreement with AT&T By Barb Jeffers The Fountain City Council met Thursday, October 2, 2014 at the Fountain City Hall. All council members were present. City attorney Scott Springer was also in attendance. After months of negotiating, the city of Fountain has reached an agreement with AT&T to have a microwave dish mounted to the water tower. There will be plates welded to the water tower and the dish will be bolted to the plates. The Notice to Proceed order will be sent and the issue is resolved.

Brian Malm, with Bolton & Menk, Inc. of Burnsville, Minn. approached the council, stating that his business had been contacted by Dave Gartner of PeopleService about the problems with the waste water treatment plant. Malm stated his company is available and would be happy to help the city with their problems at the WWTP. Bolton & Menk works with PeopleService to perform work on waste water treatment plants for many others cities and offered their assistance in solving the problems the city is having with its plant.

The Preston High School class of 1949 celebrated their 65th reunion on September 18 The party was hosted by Ila Mae Olstad at her home in Preston. Assisting serving a delicious dinner were Marie (Ila’s daughter) Shirley (daughter-in-law), and Sue (like a daughter).

Malm stated that his company would do a field inspection and study all data relating to the plant. The city would then receive “a report that would identify a path forward” from Bolton & Menk, Inc. The cost would depend on the work involved, but would be approximately $3,000-$5,000. Council member Jim Schott stated, “we’re spending money this town can’t afford to keep spending”, noting that a solution needs to be found. Malm stated, “there is a fix to your problem, but it’s probably going to include construction”. Malm also informed the council that the PCA has grant money available to fund projects, which the city may want to investigate. The council will discuss hiring Bolton & Menk, Inc. and make Brian Malm, of Bolton & Menk, Inc. addresses the Fountain City Council during its October meeting. a decision at a later date.

In city maintenance, John Hanson requested that the major inspection of the generator at the WWTP be performed by an outside company. Hanson stated he has the knowledge and tools to do the mechanical side of the inspection, but not the electrical aspect of the process.

“Ask a trooper” By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I have often wondered why school buses are not equipped with seatbelts. What is the reason for this? Answer: With school having recently started, this is an excellent topic. I do get asked this question fairly often. So in response to the topic of Troy H. transporting Chrisianson our world’s most precious cargo (our children), this is what I’d like to say. In Minnesota, school buses make at least 10,000 school bus trips daily. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, school buses are the safest mode of transportation for children — children are eight times safer riding in a bus to school than any other vehicles. There are three main reasons why I understand that school buses are not equipped with seatbelts. School buses are larger and heavier, which means that the mass and weight of the bus is designed to take the bulk of the crash force. They are also far less

likely to rollover in a crash. School buses must be federally regulated to provide for compartmentalization. Compartmentalization means that the interior of large school buses must provide occupant protection so that children are protected without the need to buckle up. This is done through strong, closely spaced seats, energy absorbing foam seat backs, and a 24-inch seat height. It’s easier to visualize this if you think about an egg carton and how it protects the eggs. This is why the bus driver is reminding the passengers to please down, face forward, and keep the aisles clear. The chassis of the school bus is designed to separate from the body of the bus in a crash to slow down and spread the crash forces over the entire body of the bus. More children are killed outside of a school bus than they are as bus occupants. Motorists must anticipate children in a school bus “danger zone” — the area around a bus where most injuries and deaths occur. Parents should discuss and demonstrate pedestrian safety with their children and reinforce safe crossing before entering and exiting a bus: •When getting off a bus, look to be sure no cars are passing on the shoulder (side of the road). •Before crossing the street, take five “giant steps” out from the front of the bus, or until the driver’s face can be seen. •Wait for the driver to signal that it’s safe to cross. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Trp. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW. Rochester, MN 55901 or reach him at: troy. christianson@state.mn.us.

The Official Legal Newspaper for Fillmore County

Fillmore County Land Rent Surveys This will mark the nineteenth consecutive year for the Fillmore County Land Rent Survey. Over these years we have conducted the survey in a few different ways, originally in a direct mailing to all land owners and producers in a joint newsletter with the Farm Service Agency. After the newsletter was discontinued, we decided the best way to reach our target audience was by printing the survey and including it as an insert in the Fillmore County Journal. This year, in an effort to keep costs down and stay within our budget we explored the option of printing the survey within the newspaper as a clip and return. So, a few weeks ago we included the Fillmore County Land Rent Survey form in the Fillmore County

Journal. Unfortunately, we received a lower than average response. We need your response! We have extended the return date to November 1st. If you no longer have the original survey and would like to respond, please visit the University of Minnesota Extension website at www.extension.umn.edu/county/fillmore under the tab “County Agriculture Educator” or contact the Fillmore County Extension Office at (507)765-3896 or ruesi001@umn.edu and Kristi will send you a survey. After November 1, we will tabulate the results to give us a county wide average; for those townships with three or more parcel responses, we breakdown a township average and range.

Monday, October 27, 2014

Fillmore County District Court On October 15, 2014, Travis Lee Brink, 32 of Mabel, appeared before District Court Judge Matthew J. Opat at the Fillmore County District Courthouse.

‘Swingsation’ gala event New this year at the annual Swingsation Gala Event is cuisine by Johnny Mango’s Catering. Benefitting yearround arts programming of Lanesboro Arts, the Swingsation event will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at the Lanesboro Community Center (202 Parkway Ave S in Lanesboro, Minn.). At $65 per person, tickets are sold in advance from Lanesboro Arts, (507)4672446. The event will feature music by Prudence Johnson and the Swingsation Orchestra, emcees Jess Abrahamson and Tom Overlie of KTTC News, a cash bar, and lots of art and unique auction items in the silent and live auctions. Growing up in a stereotypical Greek family, Johnny Mango’s love of food began at an early age because of his family’s restaurant business in Seattle, Wash. There he nurtured and cultivated his love of fresh food, and the realization of how central food and a special meal is to family and celebrations. Johnny eventually ran the business before venturing into the private golf and five-star restaurant worlds in the Midwest. Now with his own business in Rochester, Minn., Johnny caters all kinds of food events, from ethnic celebrations to weddings. Always a spectacular event for a good cause, Swingsation this year will bring singer Prudence Johnson back to Lanesboro. A frequent guest on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, the nationally-acclaimed artist and her band rocked the dance floor at last year’s Swingsation event. Her 25-year career in music has taken Prudence Johnson from nightclubs and honky-tonks to Carnegie Hall, from the theater stage to the Silver Screen (Robert Redford’s A River Runs Through It), from the Midwest to the Middle East. At Swingsation, she will perform with her ‘Swingsation Orchestra’, a hand-picked group of excellent musicians. Silent, live, and sealed bid auction items will include artwork like a leather purse by Ilse Heider, photo impressionism pieces by Ron Germundson, paintings by Kay Raabe and Sara Lubinski and Laura Tundel, hand carved wood pieces by Pam Reilly and Roger Meyer, and an “Eagle in Flight” sculpture by Carl John Thompson. The auction will also include unique items and special events like a Johnny Mango Private Dinner Party, 18 Holes golf & lunch

at Somerby Golf in Byron, a Private Dinner Party by Gordy & Val at the Lanesboro Diner, a Sailing Tour on Lake Minnetonka, and tickets to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Real-life Lanesboro Sales Commission auctioneer Mert Boyum will work the live auction, along with KTTC Television news personalities Jess Abrahamson and Tom Overlie. The event begins at 6 p.m. with a cash bar, music by Prudence & the orchestra, appetizers including Thai chili marinated shrimp and a world bistro platter, and the sealed bid and silent auctions. Dinner will be served at 7:15 p.m., a three-course gourmet meal featuring filet mignon medallions with a cherry bordelaise sauce (there is a vegetarian option as well) by Johnny Mango’s Catering. The live auction will begin at 8:15 p.m. with one-of-a-kind art and other unique items, followed by dancing to the music of Prudence Johnson and the Swingsation Orchestra. Proceeds from the event benefit the year-round programming of Lanesboro Arts, serving as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing meaningful and diverse art experiences for people of all ages. In the heart of historic downtown, Lanesboro Arts houses two galleries featuring work by more than 80 regional artists, and hosts literary, music, theater, and film events at the St. Mane Theatre. Lanesboro Arts programming also includes the annual Father’s Day Art in the Park celebration; the Lanesboro Residency program (bringing 2-4 artists to Lanesboro each year); the Picture Parade elementary school education program; classes, Surprise Sculpture, and Kids Create Family Art Activities. Swingsation is sponsored by KTTC Television, F & M Community Bank, Preble Farmers Mutual Fire Ins. Co., POET Biorefining, O’Leary’s B&B, Merchants Bank, and the City of Lanesboro. Tickets are $65 per person, available at Lanesboro Arts: 103 Parkway Ave. N in Lanesboro / (507)467-2446 / gallery@lanesboroarts.org. This event is not for artists only! The public is welcome—a good way to have fun while supporting the arts and this regional arts center. For more information about Lanesboro Arts, visit www.lanesboroarts.org.

This setting offers a building site, pond, outbuildings, 38 tillable acres and woods with easy access to trout streams.

The building site is already set up with a well and electricity to the location. The property is home to all kinds of wildlife, including deer, fox, pheasants, turkeys, ducks & geese, to name just a few, and deer population is managed by antler restrictions, which has greatly increased the size and frequency of bagging a big buck!
