Everyone is rooting for Gabby Rushford reaps
donation benefits By K irsten Zoellner kirsten@fillmorecountyjournal.com
By Kirsten Zoellner The Monday, October 22 Rushford Council meeting was notably shorter in business discussions that most meetings, but covered a multitude of recent donations that are helping the city thrive. Up first for council consideration was a summary by Rushford’s Merrill Schroeder regarding his Eagle Scout project, an ice rink warming house for the Creekside Park rink. Seeing a number of needs as the community works to improve the rink, Schroeder worked with several others to construct a ful-

Gabriella “Gabby” Lou Brown was celebrating her first birthday and baptism on Sunday, October 7. It was a great day surrounded by her family and friends. Her mom and dad, Heidi and Matt Brown, had noticed a slight fever during the weekend, but hadn’t been alarmed since they thought it was probably caused by her one-year molars. Gabby woke up on Monday and she was the worst she had been all weekend. Her parents were concerned and took
her to the doctor in Preston. During the examination, Dr. Jakim noticed that Gabby’s color was not good and she also had some unusual bruising, which Heidi and Matt had noticed as well. That’s when Dr. Jakim had the lab check Gabby’s blood. The results of the lab were not normal and they repeated it to be sure of the results. They came back the same. Dr. Jakim immediately sent the Browns to St. Marys to get more intense lab work done. The blood draw on her was very difficult. Over the next couple days, the “best of the

Additional funding, in the amount of $860, was also raised for equipment and site amenities, including the possibilities of used skates, a heater, and hockey goal nets. “Any time someone achieves Eagle Scout status, it should be celebrated in the community,” noted Mayor Chris Hallum.

Back at the hospital, the doctors said that a bone marrow biopsy was needed to confirm if it was leukemia. It was a quick procedure that Gabby had to go under anesthesia for. “She woke up just like she was waking up from a nap,” Heidi said. “It was no big deal, but now we had to wait for the results. It went on for a couple of days.” They finally received the word that Gabby has Acute Myeloid Leukemia. A treatment plan was put into action. Gabby will be in the hospital for intensive treatments the next six to eight months. This is due to the intensity of her chemotherapy. The good news is she will be able receive her treatments in her hospital room through an IV. “Gabby has been absolutely amazing through all of this.

They did mention that since she is so young, sometimes the side effects of the chemo are lessened. Luckily there haven’t been many side effects yet.

For Fillmore CounTy SheriFF Dear Citizens of Fillmore County, The members LELS Local #85, comprised of Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office Deputies, Jailers, and Dispatchers, are proud to announce our endorsement of Captain John DeGeorge for the candidacy of Fillmore County Sheriff. With an overwhelming vote of 92% of our union membership favoring Captain John DeGeorge, it is clear where we stand on the current climate, issues, and desired future direction of our office. We believe Captain DeGeorge is the best candidate to serve the law enforcement needs of Fillmore County and its residents. A forum was held for both candidates on July 17, 2018. In the forum both candidates, Captain DeGeorge and Sheriff Kaase, had the opportunity to address our union. Following their statements the same set of questions were asked of both candidates. The forum was recorded for union members who were not able to attend and they were able to review the audio before casting their votes. This endorsement is important to us and one that was not taken lightly. We are pleased to support our Captain, John DeGeorge, as this election process moves forward. We would like to take this opportunity to not only publicly support him, but also to congratulate him on securing, with overwhelming results, our trust and our endorsement. Also, we would like to thank the citizens of Fillmore County for your continued support of our union. Deputy Samantha Keasling (On behalf of LELS Local #85)

C ommentary Moving the needle in Southern Minnesota By Tim Penny President/CEO Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Autumn is one of my favorite times of year – not just because of the beautiful colors, but because it means it’s time for our Annual Luncheon. At Southern Minnesota I n i t i a t i v e Tim Penny Foundation (SMIF), this luncheon is an opportunity for more than 200 of our partners to come together from across our 20-county region to share successes and look to the future. At this year’s luncheon we heard from several of our repeat program recipients that have been moving the needle on issues in southern Minnesota that touch our three areas: early childhood, economic development and community vitality. We heard from Dan Christianson, chairman and CEO of F&M Community Bank in Preston, who was instrumental in starting the Preston Area Community Foundation (PACF). The community foundation has been moving the needle on rural philanthropy since 1997 by providing an opportunity for locals to invest in the town’s future. PACF has funded projects in the town of 1,305 from murals and baseball diamond improvements, to early childhood initiatives and historic site renovations. PACF is one of 28 community foundations administered by SMIF’s Affiliate Fund program that is capturing the transfer of wealth in our region. Our Affiliate Funds have distributed an impresEditorial Cartoon
sive $4.6 million through grants in their communities. We also heard from Fatima Said, the executive director from Project FINE, a Winona-based nonprofit that helps newcomers integrate into life in Minnesota. A SMIF grant recipient since 1997, Project FINE has been moving the needle on economic prosperity for immigrants and refugees in the Winona area. Project FINE has been instrumental in supporting entrepreneurs overcome language and cultural barriers to create pathways for success. Finally, we heard from Cheryl Smythe, director of educational services, and Jessica Kittleson, S.M.A.R.T. mentor and classroom teacher, from A Chance to Grow (ACTG). ACTG is a nonprofit that has been moving the needle on school readiness in our region since receiving their first SMIF grant in 2013. They specialize in training teachers in a program called Stimulating Maturity through Accelerated Readiness Training, or S.M.A.R.T., which is a movement-based curriculum that has proved effective at preparing children for reading, writing and more. So far, they have trained 361 teachers in 88 early childhood programs on how to implement S.M.A.R.T. in classrooms across southern Minnesota. It is always sad to say goodbye to everyone at the end of this celebration, and this year we announced that this would be our last Annual Luncheon for a while. Fortunately, this event is just taking a new form, and we will have more opportunities to gather again soon. Next year we will host four community resource events across our region: at the Cannon River Winery in Cannon Falls (April 23), Four
Daughters Winery in Spring Valley (April 25), Chankaska Winery in Kasota (April 30) and the Red Rock Center for the Arts in Fairmont (May 2). We look forward to connecting with new and old friends at these events, while sharing the many opportunities we have to offer this region. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right resources, it can happen faster than one might think. These partners, and many others, have utilized SMIF resources time and again to improve the lives of southern Minnesotans and the future of our region. More information about how we have been moving the needle on important issues, along with detailed versions of the Preston and S.M.A.R.T. stories, is available in our 2018 Annual Report and online at www.smifoundation.org. As always, I welcome your comments and questions. You can reach me at timp@smifoundation. org or (507) 455-3215. About Tim Penny Tim Penny is the President & CEO of Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation. Tim represented Minnesota’s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1982 – 1994. About Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF), a donor-supported foundation, invests for economic growth in the 20 counties of south central and southeastern Minnesota. The Foundation has provided more than $111 million in grants, loans and programming within the region during the past 32 years. SMIF’s key interests include early childhood, community and economic development. To learn more about our work and mission, visit www.smifoundation.org.
Don’t be fooled by those who assert themselves as experts By Kindra Ramaker Stewartville, MN Fillmore County Journal Readers – as both a member of the Fillmore County discussion group addressing “Conversations on Race in Fillmore County” as well as being informed by Kindra my work on Ramaker the Olmsted County Human Rights Commission - I would like to address an opinion piece published in the Fillmore County Journal written by Jeff Erding, a long term citizen of Wykoff Minn., a carpenter, and my Catholic Catechism teacher. Mr. Erding jumps in with both feet into issues of human rights and public policy while doing very little to establish any sort of fundamental knowledge of either, despite how authoritatively he feels empowered to speak on both. I’d like to start by addressing his claim that the MDHR is “MDHR is using bullying tactics to impose a radical ideology.” Since my role as an Olmsted County Human Rights commissioner allows me to be very familiar with the mission of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights – I can only assume that this radical ideology he refers to is the idea that every child has an equal right to education – since this IS the ideology that each person who works in this department is committed to serving. He references race based discipline – which he does not define nor cite actual policies to establish this as something that is real. If Mr. Erding were actually acting from a sincere desire to understand and solve problems, he may have actually approached his research from a place of curiosity and intent to understand. The article shows that he did not approach his piece with curiosity or a desire to understand the issue more deeply because nowhere does he indicate any sort of understanding of the policies that have been implemented since the 2015 OCR report in the Rochester Public Schools example and the fact that there are no “race based discipline policies.” Mr. Erding cites a 1997 decision by the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals which actually has no application to the remedies that have been put in place by schools in our area to address the very real and data driven problems identified in Rochester Public Schools. Mr. Erding also chooses to gas-light the issue by quoting teachers from a teachers union
out of context – implying that their position is that the abuse that they suffer at the hands of students is in fact FROM the minority students who are experiencing disproportionate disciplinary action. He does not use either direct quotes or data to support his very strongly positioned assertion. Speaking from a very personal place, as a student in Mr. Erding’s Catholic Catechism classes, I am both flabbergasted and deeply heartbroken at the divergence from the teaching of Jesus that Mr. Erding exhibits in his very racist attitudes towards the children of our communities. What breaks my heart most profoundly – is that one can have a family member who will undoubtedly be the victim of racism at some point in their life, and have none of the compassion that Christians are called to have to be brave enough to be a part of the solution rather than one of the oppressors. I speak from a place of a deep desire to root out racism in rural Minnesota when I call upon those who may have influence with Mr. Erding to call him back to the place of his Christian roots and reexamine his intentions, and a reminder that Human Rights is not a partisan issue. I write this response expressing my personal opinions and not in formal response from the Olmsted County Human Rights Commission.

C ommentary One Moment, Please...
Am I a left-wing conservative or a right-wing liberal? By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com “I was very unhappy to see half the front page of Fillmore Journal dedicated to a Trump supporter. I believe that rally was adequately followed in Rochester newspapers and television. Jason Sethre It’s obvious to me where this newspaper leans. So disappointed in my hometown newspaper,” said a reader from Lanesboro, Minn., in an e-mail to me on Monday, October 22, 2018. This was in response to the front page article titled “Trump rally attracts huge local supporter.” Most of the time, Mondays start out with phone calls and e-mails from people upset about what was published on the Commentary pages of our
newspaper. No matter how many times I state that the opinions expressed on the Commentary pages do not reflect the opinions of the publisher or this newspaper, people still place the blame on me. I get it. And, I can take the heat. I am the gatekeeper to the content that we publish. I tend to be more of a freedom-of-speech kind of guy, so I welcome the eclectic mix of opinions expressed on our Commentary pages. It’s a reflection of our democracy at the most local level. I don’t agree with everything we publish, but I publish it anyways. That’s what a fair and balanced newspaper does. When dissecting the anatomy of our newspaper, the Commentary pages are the only place you will find any sort of attempt to influence readers — by contributing writers. Just because we published one front page article about a Trump supporter from Mabel, Minn., who attended the rally
in Rochester, Minn., doesn’t mean that we are leaning in any direction. When the President of the United States of America, regardless of political affiliation, visits our region and connects with our readers in some way, we have a responsibility as a newspaper to capture that moment and share it with our readers. Included with this commentary, I have provided examples of Fillmore County Journal front pages as a reference to presidential visits to our region. When President Obama traveled from Rochester to Decorah to speak at Seed Savers on Monday, August 15, 2011, we published three front page articles about his road trip through Fillmore County, Minn. “Bomb Squad in Preston for President Obama” — Front page of Monday, August 22, 2011 Fillmore County Journal “Chatfield’s presidential stop” — Front page of Monday, August 22, 2011 Fillmore
County Journal “Obama finds a little Harmony” — Front page of Monday, August 22, 2011 Fillmore County Journal We published three stories about President Obama on our front page. Obama is a democrat, so I must be a democrat. Why else would I publish three articles about President Obama on our front page? Fast forward to 2018. After hearing that many people from Fillmore County had attended the rally for President Donald Trump on October 4, 2018, we decided to run one story on our October 22, 2018 front page about a Trump supporter who attended the rally. I repeat, one story. This must mean that I used to be a democrat, and now I’m a republican because Trump is a republican. Why else would I publish one story about President Trump on our front page? Regardless of how I vote, I don’t let that influence what takes center stage on our front page. That’s what a newspaper should do. From what I hear from readers, our national media options, especially on TV, lean one way or another. I honestly don’t
watch a lot of TV, so I don’t have a great point of reference. But, here’s what I do know. If you tell people you watch Fox News, they figure you are a conservative. If you tell people you watch MSNBC or CNN, they figure you are a liberal. I guess one of my concerns with the way our society functions today is how black and white everything has become. “You are either with me or against me” seems to be the divisive mantra. There is no middle ground. I’m not sure who is to blame. Is it the leadership of the 165-year-old dominant twoparty political system? It takes two to tango. Or, is it the national media, as we often hear? The tail wagging the dog. There seems to be a lack of trust in media, as though there is an ulterior motive to influence our way of thinking. Maybe there is good reason for concern. At the end of the day, if we have our readers expressing their views, whether with enthusiastic support or grave disappointment, I know that they are reading this newspaper. And, their opinions do help us consider how we craft our content for future issues.

No need to bother with fact checking or logical interpretation of facts. Certainly no need ever to challenge your own cherished beliefs. Only one little snag, if indeed you’d think of it as a snag. If we only associate with, converse with, and listen to persons who share our exact same views, we only become more and more convinced of the certainty of those views, whether or not they are actually correct, and the ideological gulf that now divides us in America only gets wider and deeper.

Asexuality Awareness By Leah Himlie It is estimated that 1-2% of the human population has red hair. The same percentage is estimated for the number of people who have green eyes, and Leah Himlie lastly, the same percentage is estimated for the number of people who identify as asexual. Despite the first two statistics being perceived as valid, true statements, many people invalidate or are ignorant of asexuals. Asexuality Awareness Week was last week, but people either still don’t know about the orientation or they say that since asexuals make up only 1% of the population, they are “making it up for attention.” The thing is, even just 1% of 7 billion is 70 million. That adds up to between 70 and 140 million people who identify as asexual. What does it mean when people say they are asexual? No, it doesn’t mean they can reproduce like a plant. It means that they do not feel sexual attraction toward anyone. While straight people feel sexual attraction to those of the opposite gender and gay people feel sexually attracted to those of the same gender, asexual

people feel sexually attracted to no one, no matter what their gender is. Asexuality is not abstinence because most people who practice abstinence still feel sexual attraction. They may think things such as, “That person is sexy,” but deliberately choose not to do anything about it. For asexuals, that attraction isn’t there, so they don’t have to actively choose to turn away sex. They never desired it to begin with. Just because people identify as asexual doesn’t mean they can’t have sex. They can have sex, and they can even like it. Sexuality is about attraction, not action. If a gay man has straight sex, he is still gay if he identifies as gay. In addition, just because some people don’t experience sexual attraction doesn’t mean they can’t experience romantic or sensual attraction. They can. Asexuals can have varying romantic orientations just like people who do feel sexual attraction, also known as allosexuals. If sex without love is possible, then love without sex must be possible too. In the society where sex is considered part of “what makes us human,” asexual people often do not feel like they can come out and talk about it. They are ridiculed and told things like, “You just haven’t found the right person
RE-ELECT
yet,” and “You’re just a latebloomer.” Those statements are hurtful and invalidating. If asexual people believe them unconditionally, they may keep waiting and waiting for the understanding of this foreign concept to descend upon them. When it never does, they may feel broken, shamed, or inhuman because they’ve been told, “Sex is a human thing,” too many times. The asexual may wonder what is wrong with them even though there is nothing wrong. They may become confused and feel isolated from everyone else; a special kind of isolated because even though asexuality is included in the LGBTQIA+ community, many exclusionists call heteroromantic asexuals “straight.” This is hurtful and can make asexuals feel like they’re “too straight to be gay, but too gay to be straight.” That mentality is toxic because it implies there are “levels of gayness” or that being asexual is “faking gay”; neither of which are true. The word gay can be used as an umbrella term for all non-heterosexual, non-heteroromantic, and noncisgender individuals. In order to be straight, one must be heterosexual, heteroromantic, and cisgender. Asexuals are not heterosexual; therefore, they are not straight. This is why asexual awareness is needed. Coming out as asexual shouldn’t be a vocabulary lesson. It shouldn’t immediately result in the person they’re coming out to trying to
Our Values Our Voice In District 28B
convince them they are wrong about their own label. It should not be an excuse for people to ask inappropriate, personal questions. No one should spend middle school, high school, and beyond believing they are broken or inhuman or don’t belong in this world. Asexuality Awareness Week is celebrated so that people who may feel this way know they
are not alone. There are at least 70 million people who don’t feel sexual attraction. That many people is not a mistake. They exist. They are real. They are valid.

By Rich Wicks During the regular meeting of the Spring Valley City Council on October 22, the council discussed what path to take 10/28/2018 going forward, for the city’s residential solid waste and recycling services. Mayor Struzyk pointed out that, “As far as I’m concerned, I haven’t heard a complaint since right after they (Sunshine) took over. I had a lot of them with Waste Management, but I haven’t had any with Sunshine. So I think we should renew the contract.” Deb Zimmer summarized that the council’s options are to re-up, or renegotiate a contract, or put it out for proposals from any interested companies. Regarding the pricing of services from Sunshine, Zimmer added, “He did say that his prices for 2019 will be the same as 2018.” The council voted unanimously to stay with Sunshine. Zimmer will bring a contract back for the council to consider signing at the next council meeting. Council members present included Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Jessy Betts, and City Administrator Deb Zimmer. Mike Hadland was absent. Mayor Struzyk acknowledged attendance by a

During departmental reports, John Fenske expressed gratitude to Dan Howard for all of his help with Park and Rec flag football. He also stated that the swimming pool repairs are being finished, hopefully by the end of the week. Via Resolution 2018-30, the council formally and gratefully accepted a donation of $30,000 in memory of Doris Henderson. The ambulance fund, fire department fund, and community center fund will receive $10,000 each. Sue Puffer gave the council an update on the ambulance service, including that the new ambulance will be received this week. Also, regarding the crew’s call volume, she said they are 86 calls ahead of last year at this time, and many of those are for situations in which the ambulance crew is needed only to lift someone from the floor. Many of these are at facilities in which the staff have been instructed not to do lifts. She explained that in these situations, no fee is charged. She added, “I don’t

As some of you know, my family was given the opportunity to buy a new property, which unfortunately moves me out of town, making me no longer eligible to serve on the council. So this will be my last meeting.” He went on to thank the council for helping him learn his role and duties on the council.
Mayor Struzyk responded, “For somebody that first came on new, you’ve done one heck of a job. You’ve brought a lot to the council… You’re going to be missed.” The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m. Due to observance of Veterans Day, the next regular meeting of the council will be Wednesday, November 14 at 6 p.m. As always, the public is welcome.

Local electric co-op launches battery pilot project CRESCO, IA/RUSHFORD, MN, October 23, 2018 — MiEnergy Cooperative recently launched an innovative pilot project to test the benefits of battery storage. As part of the pilot, four 16 kilowatt-hour smart battery storage systems are being installed at homes of co-op members. “We want to gain a better understanding of battery technology on a small scale, like a residential home,” said Brian Krambeer, MiEnergy’s president/CEO. “We will be testing the batteries for use as a tool for energy management. It’s an opportunity to see how it could benefit our members.” Being able to seamlessly switch a home’s electric source from the grid to a battery and back could help the cooperative manage electricity during peak energy periods. As an added benefit, the battery could provide backup power during power outages. The first battery was commissioned on October 15 at a home in Minnesota City, Minn. MiEnergy will install a second battery at a residence in Winona, Minn., by the end of the month and two others in Decorah and Ridgeway, Iowa, by year’s end. MiEnergy is the first of four

DONATION
Continued from Page 1
nity Foundation, and Fillmore County Statewide Health Improvement Partnership Program (SHIP) has provided a sizeable donation of $9,800 for the purpose of new kiosk signs. The two signs highlight the Root River Trail System, as well as city and bluff trails, along with businesses throughout the communities of Rushford, Rushford Village, and Peterson. One of the high-quality kiosks was installed at the historic trailhead depot in Rushford and another at Ben Niggle Athletic Field, near R-P School grounds and Creekside Park. Designed, created, and installed by the collaborative work of Connaughty Sales, Wild Exhibit, and Rushford Public Works, the signs have been the subject of much positive conversation within the community. Additional signage, not included in the council’s resolution approval, was also placed inside the new R-P School and on Magelssen Bluff, directing visitors to amenities within the communities. The municipal airport departure building will also benefit from a smaller type sign and eventually a larger kiosk, noting arrival to Robert W. Bunke Field, will be placed for outside viewing on airport grounds. The third donation of the evening came by way of Compeer Financial, in the amount of $3,000 for the fire department. The funds will be utilized for the purchase of a radio for the R-3 Rescue Rig. According to City Clerk Kathy Zacher, the radio rings in with a $2,900 price tag. An additional $500 will be contributed by fire department funds for the programming and installation of the radio. In regular business, the council did approve action on a recommendation by the EDA to amend the repayment schedule for the revolving loan fund loan for Jessie Street Java/Feller Properties. Minimal monthly payments have been made on the loan, with interest continuing to accrue, since June 2017. The repayment amount will be increased to $100 per month, with emphasis being placed on allowing the business to focus on paying down other debts and continuing to make loan payments to Rushford State Bank, placing the city in higher collateral position. “From a structural standpoint, a business standpoint, it makes the most sense,” noted City Administrator Tony Chladek. “It’s a viable business. It will eventually be paid back.” Councilor Sally Ryman, who also sits on the EDA board, noted the board had discussed the matter extensively. “As long as they’re making payments to the bank, it puts us in better and better position.” The company is aiming to repay bank loans within three years, then

focus on a similar repayment timeline for the EDA loan. The company continues to provide regular financial paperwork and business data to the EDA.

McBroom said they are looking for ideas, but don’t think a stop sign will help. One suggestion included flashing lights with a sign “slow down for children.” City Attorney Fred Suhler said a school speed zone could be created if it is close enough to the school. Another possibility would be a sign activated by a passing vehicle noting the speed of the vehicle. • The next city council meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 13 at 7 p.m. November 12 is Veterans Day.

Fillmore County Sports Cougars Beat Burros in Final Seconds
Lanesboro defenders Sawyer Johnson (tackle attempt) and J.T. Rein (#22) can’t prevent Mabel-Canton’s Gavin Johnson from scoring the game-winner. M-C’s Johnson had two fourth quarter rushing TDs, including the one above with 0:17 left for a 26-20 Cougar win. Photo by Paul Trende By Paul Trende Mabel-Canton’s football season is likely to end at 5-5. But the campaign will be The Trende Report rememb e r e d because of a couple late game wins. Versus rival Lanesboro in week e i g h t , Paul Trende momentum ebbed and flowed. The Cougars had more in the first half (eight first downs). In the first quarter, a Drew Wyffels 10-yard TD scramble on third and six was the game’s opening score. Lanesboro had just two first half first downs. One came on a second quarter 85-yard Carson Schwichtenberg TD run. Things were knotted 6-6 at halftime. Lanesboro seemingly grabbed “uncle-mo” early in the third quarter. Schwichtenberg went 56 yards to pay-dirt. But the run was annulled by a very
silly, behind-the-play, penalty. The Burros later fumbled, M-C recovery. Ryan Kuhn’s ensuing 58-yard TD run, plus Wyffels two-point pass to Blake Henry, made it 14-6 Coug’s. Lanesboro’s Connor Ruen returned the subsequent kick-off to mid-field, and, a couple plays later, scored on a 25-yard run. The Burros failed to convert and trailed 14-12. M-C fumbled the ensuing kick-off, Burro recovery. Schwichtenberg went 30 yards on the very next play. He capped the series with a third and goal 2-yard TD run. With conversion, Lanesboro grabbed its first lead late in the third, 20-14. Backto-back M-C series were then stonewalled. When the Cougars took over, 1st and ten at their own 20 early in the 4th, Lanesboro seemingly was in control. But Karl Urbaniak’s crew dug deep for a 13-play, 80-yard drive. Included were five first downs (four more than M-C had in the second half previously). Gavin Johnson’s 1-yard TD plunge tied the game at 20-20. The PAT was blocked (but also hit the right

goal-post). It seemed Lanesboro’s time to reply, but they fumbled on their first offensive play. M-C then marched 50 yards in seven plays. There was a controversial non-fumble; the ball was out (Burro recovery), but forward progress was ruled stopped. With 17 seconds left, Johnson authored his second 1-yard TD run of the fourth. M-C prevailed 26-20! Johnson (29-106, 2 TDs rushing) worked very hard for his yards, the same for Kuhn (17-103, TD rushing). Wyffels (7-11, 92 yards passing, rushing TD, two FRs) had four runs for nine-plus yards (his yardage took big hits via sacks and TFLs). Schwichtenberg (11-149, 2 TDs rushing, 6-12, 60 yards passing) and Ruen (4-30, TD rushing; 4-40 receiving; 3-88 kick-off returns) led Lanesboro. The Burros collected six sacks. Riley Cambern had three. Lanesboro lost five fumbles, M-C one. Wyffels and Brandon Schneider each had two recoveries. It was the Cougars second dramatic win. They beat L-O in overtime in week two. M-C (3-4, 4-4) is Section 1 9-Man’s 5-seed and will head to 4-seed Cleveland (5-3). Lanesboro (2-5, 3-5) is the 6-seed and will head to 3-seed GM (6-2).
O’Hare TRC C-C Champion
He’s won every other 5000meter cross country race he’s ran this year, so adding TRC Champion to his accolades list was only fitting. LARP sophomore Luke O’Hare (17:30.2) continued his front-running season by besting PEM’s Austin Dawley (17:33.1) for the Three Rivers Conference title. It’s O’Hare’s sixth straight win. He shaved nearly a minute off last year’s 9th place time (18:24.7). His efforts
helped LARP’s boys take second (65) to PEM (29). The Bulldogs had five in the top 11 (2, 3, 4, 8, 11). LARP’s Aiden Ellinghuysen (6th > 18:01.8), Tyler Rislov (14th), and Ricky Buchanon (18th) finished top 20 (of 140 runners). Four other CardinalTrojans (Mitchell Ledebuhr, Gabe Huelskamp, Aleric Frick, Brad Colbenson) finished in the top 35. Chatfield finished 5th behind top 30 runners, 8th grader Treyton Lanning (19th) and Evan Wright (27th). LFC took 10th and Kingsland 11th (of 11). Neither squad had a top 30 runner. On the girls side, last year’s top county runner, state-qualifier Kaylee Arndt, made her season debut (injured). LFC’s stand-out sophomore finished fifth overall (21:01.1) in a time slightly less than her finish at last year’s TRC meet. The top five girls from last year were the top five this year (different order). Cotter’s Ping sisters, Grace (18:45) and Lauren (19:03.1) took first and second, followed by teammate Morgan Arnold (19:44.3), PEM’s Madilyn Simon (20:34) and then Arndt. The Ramblers (49) won the girls team title over PEM (70). Chatfield took fourth, LFC fifth, and LARP sixth. Kingsland was incomplete. Gopher 8th grader Aletta Strande took 8th. Teammates Beatrice Martin (15th), Katelyn Dornack (20th), and Abbi Gillespie (21st) finished top 30. LARP had a trio in the top 20, seventh grade move-ups Ellie Ekern (13th) and Lauren Honken (17th), plus Hannah Linder (19th). LFC’s Brielle Ruen (25th) and Addie Miner (29th) finished top 30, as did Kingsland’s Susan Mettler (24th). The race was run at Lewiston Country Club. All runners to finish top 21 made All-Conference.
Cougars Run SEC Table, Win Showcase, Get #1
Realistically speaking, they had only three hurdles to cross, Spring Grove, Spring Grove, and Grand Meadow. MabelCanton volleyball’s path to another undefeated SEC regular season hinged pretty much on those three matches. The Cougars beat Randolph (25-9, 25-11, 25-19) to clinch another perfect league campaign. Lexi Thorson (5 kills, 4 aces, 10 digs), Sarina Stortz (10 kills), Maddy Michels (9 kills, 16-16 serving, 6 digs), Jordyn Newgard (7 kills), Payton Danielson (6 kills, 8 digs), and Kenidi McCabe (37 assists, 6 digs) led the way. A night later, they hosted another SEC East-West Showcase game. For the second straight year, they faced an athletic GM (23-8) squad. For a third time overall this season, M-C was simply too much. It was a tough 3-0 sweep (2523, 25-19, 29-27). Danielson (12 kills, 21 digs), Michels (11 kills, 3 blks), Stortz (8 kills), Thorson (6 kills, 16 digs), McCabe (33 assists, 14 digs), and Hannah Snell (16 digs) did big work. Jordyn Glynn (13 kills, 20 digs) led the GM effort. The #6 in A Cougars (14-0, 27-5) are 1A East’s top seed and will host either Houston (8-seed) or Kingsland (9-seed).

Other business in brief • The resignation of Jay Meyer, highway maintenance specialist, was accepted with thanks for his two and a half years of service, effective October 11. Approval was given for advertisement for a replacement highway maintenance specialist. The opening is at the Preston Shop. • The hire of a replacement case aide effective October 26 was approved as recommended by the social services director and the hiring committee. • Approval was given to advertise for a replacement full-time dispatcher as recommended by the sheriff and the personnel committee. • A letter from Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc. was addressed to Fillmore County commissioners informing them that “newly hired deputies have not been issued body armor prior to beginning their duties.” Or, they have been issued body armor that has expired or is unsound. Dahl asked if the letter was correct, insisting these are our employees and this is a liability issue. Commissioner Duane Bakke asked Sheriff Kaase if everybody working today now has body armor, acknowledging that some a couple of months prior may not have had proper body armor protection. Kaase said yes, everybody now has body armor.

Scenes
A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little Imagine, “The Munsters Ghastly Glow Lamp” for only $225. Surely, you remember the spooky funny TV show by that name. It starred Herman, the head of the family with a Frankenstein-like head, his wife Lily, their son Eddie and Goofy Grandpa who all lived at 13 Mockingbird Lane. They also had a daughter, Marilyn, who was a total outcast because she looked like an all-American beauty instead of the rest of the family who resembled escapees from a haunted house. They were friendly monsters who meant no harm but caused the neighbors quite a fright. First of all, the crumbling second Empire Victorian mansion covered with smoke, dust and cobwebs lowered property values in the neighborhood. Lily’s idea of cleaning was to use her Elec-
trolux to suck up all the dust so that she could cover any clean surfaces with it. Eddie was half vampire and half werewolf. His face resembled Senator Paul Ryan from Wisconsin, because of his hair line. Lily and Herman had trouble keeping the boy in line. Grandpa lived in the dungeon because he felt it was so damp, dark and homey. Their only vehicle was a combination hot rod and hearse. Herman had trouble driving because of his terrible temper tantrums. Sometimes he got so angry he destroyed part of the house, and the Munsters never repaired it. The neighbors shivered every time a newcomer visited the house. Visitors like the truant officer, insurance agents, conSpice Cup Cakes Made from a Cake Mix with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
Buy any spice cake mix and follow directions on the box for cupcakes. Frosting 1 cup butter (softened) 3 cups powdered sugar 2 Tbsp. whipping cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. Frost cupcakes. *I had to use a cake mix because I need to save my energy for tricks or treating! I did not buy the Munster lamp because I am waiting for after Halloween when it will go on sale.
tractors, and Avon ladies never made a second visit. I think the Munsters would have gotten along with “The Addams Family” stars of another spooky funny show. This family was a bit more gentile and even had a butler named Lurch. Their house was the talk of the neighborhood because of the way it looked. The gothic house stood on Cemetery Lane near a swamp. It was a wreck! The family was very house proud though and bragged that every trap door worked! The family consisted of Gomez, a dashing lover of women, his wife Morticia with long black hair, a long black dress and questionable makeup practices. She drove Gomez crazy when she spoke French. He couldn’t stop kissing her hand. The actress who played their daughter went on to star as “Lizzie Borden, who took an ax and gave her father 40 wacks and when she saw what she had done gave her mother 41” fame. Pugsley the son was goth before it was a fashion statement. Cousin It was a disembodied hand. I am not making that up! One of the best features of the show was the catchy opening music which make you want to snap your fingers. I think fondly of these shows every Halloween when all the gruesome, bloody, slasher movies appear on TV. By the way, cannibalism is also popular in some of these. This makes it difficult for me when I am trying to snack while watching. I understand that distant relatives of the Munsters and the Addams family have relocated to a small town in Minnesota which is known for its sink holes and Drury’s Furniture. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, but the family consists of a father and mother and son and daughter and a delightful grandmother who spends time not in a dungeon but rather on a screen porch. Their name starts with the “middle letter of the alphabet,” and they create a haunted house in an old barn every year. Sometimes you can’t escape your destiny! St. John’s Ladies Aid Hart RushfoRd, MN

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. (Gary) Morken of Mabel; longtime special friend Gloria Moen of Harmony; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandson Douglas, sister-in-law Cindy McCabe, brother-in-law Richard Larson, a niece, Nicki Majerus; and nephew Rick Larson. A Celebration of Mark’s life was held 5-7 p.m. Thursday, October 25 at the Mengis Funeral Home in Mabel. Interment took place 2 p.m. Friday, October 26 at the Minnesota State Veteran’s Cemetery in Preston, Minn. Memorials are preferred. Gary Allen Sanden Gary Allen Sanden, 73, of Hokah, Minn., died on Sunday, October 21, 2018, at Gundersen Lutheran Health Center in La Crosse, Wis. Gary was born on August 18, 1945, in La Crosse, Wis., to Allen and Bonnie (Patrick) Sanden. He was raised in Houston, Minn., and graduated from Houston High School in Gary Allen Sanden 1963. He attended Winona State University and the Minneapolis Business College. He served in the U.S. Navy with his brother Dennis from 1967 to 1969, during the Vietnam War. On November 16, 1974, he was united in marriage with Janie Skifton in Caledonia, Minn. Gary was a member of Cross of Christ Church-Houston. Gary worked at HoustonMoney Creek Coop for several
years. He and his brother, Dennis and his sister, Cheryl worked together for many years in the auction, real estate and appraisal business, and most recently, Gary’s son, Brett joined the family business. Gary was very proud of his family owned business. Gary and Dennis also enjoyed farming together, and took great pride in their family farm. Gary definitely lived to work and was still working on his last day here on earth, but his most important “work” was his family, his pride and joy. Gary is survived by his wife, Janie; two children: Shanon (Dan) Bills of Hokah and Brett Sanden of Houston, three grandchildren: Mason, Molly and Mikey, four siblings: Jeanne (Peter) Johnson, Dennis (Ione) Sanden, Cheryl Sanden, and Steve (Beth) Sanden, all of Houston; and by two very special friends, Kevin Haas and Johnnie B. He adored his family, and he made everyone feel safe, special and loved. “Bapa” couldn’t have given any more love to his family, and his presence will be deeply missed. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Debra. A funeral service for Gary was held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, October 26, 2018, at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Houston. Burial took place in the Stone Church Cemetery. Visitation was from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church and one hour prior to the service, also at the church. The family prefers memorials to the donor’s choice. Hoff Funeral and Cremation Service Houston assisted the family with arrangements.

Ask a Trooper
By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: What is the procedure if I hit a deer with my vehicle, can I keep it? Answer: The Minnesota State Patrol does issue permits for road-kill deer generally right at the time of the crash or Sgt. Troy H. soon after. Christianson Any Minnesota resident may claim a roadkilled animal by contacting a law enforcement officer. An authorization permit can be issued, allowing the individual to lawfully possess the animal. For your specific request, I would advise
you to contact the Department of Natural Resources (DNR.) You can contact the Conservation Officer in the area you are closest to or where you’d want to pick up the road kill. They should be able to provide more information on the permits and this process. The following link will let you find officers statewide: www.dnr.state.mn.us/officerpatrolareas/index.html. Motorist safety tips to avoid deer crashes • Drive at safe speeds and always be buckled up. • Be especially cautious from 6 to 9 p.m., when deer are most active. • Use high beams as much as possible at night, especially in deer-active areas. • Motorists: don’t swerve to avoid a deer. Swerving can cause motorists to lose control and travel off the road or into
Monday, October 29, 2018 oncoming traffic. • Watch for the reflection of deer eyes and for deer silhouettes on the shoulder of the road. If anything looks slightly suspicious, slow down. • Slow down in areas known to have a large deer population — such as areas where roads divide agricultural fields from forest land; and whenever in forested areas between dusk and dawn. • Deer do unpredictable things — they stop in the middle of the road when crossing, cross and quickly re-cross back, and move toward an approaching vehicle. Blow horn to urge deer to leave the road. • If a deer is struck but not killed by a vehicle, keep a distance as deer may recover and move on. If a deer does not move on, or poses a public safety risk, report the incident

to a DNR conservation officer or other local law enforcement agency. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths.

Fillmore Central School Board receives facilities updates By Hannah Wingert Superintendent Richard Keith updated the Fillmore Central School Board on the on-going facility projects during the October 23 board meeting. The wet weather has slowed down the work on the baseball field in Harmony, but progress is still being made. As it won’t be done before the spring season, Superintendent Keith asked and was granted permission by the Lanesboro school district to use their baseball field until Fillmore Central’s is complete. The dirt work on the football field should be finished before winter. Both the elementary and preschool playgrounds have been substantially completed with only sandbox installation needed at each site. The borders for each one have been delivered to the school, and Dean Solberg
has offered to donate the sand to fill them. The district recently purchased a property across the street from the high school that was up for tax forfeiture sale. All the trees on the lot have been removed, and arrangements are being made to raze the house after the asbestos is removed. The hope is that it will be finished before winter hits. The school applied for a state safety grant to reconfigure and remodel the high school office, lunchroom, and media center, but did not receive the funding. However, the project does need to be done regardless, and so plans are being made to tackle it during the summer of 2019. It was noted that the school has spent $10,000 during each of the last two winters on snow
removal at both sites. A new pickup was recently purchased that has a snowplow attachment, and the school also owns a skid loader with a regular bucket, a snow bucket, and a rotary broom as well as a small tractor with a snow blower and rotary broom. That equipment will be used by staff to take care of the snow removal this winter. On-call snow removal will also be employed for situations where more help is needed. Principal Heath Olstad reported that 20 high school juniors chose to take the PSAT test on October 10. That same day, representatives from RCTC and Winona State gave a presentation about their colleges and financial aid to interested seniors and their parents. On November 9, the staff at both the high school and
elementary school locations will be completing ALICE training which prepares them to protect their students and themselves in a variety of active shooter situations. Thirty-one students are registered for the school readiness program with three of those added within the last month. Currently, the One Block at a Time Child Care Center has openings for a lead float teacher and toddler room teacher assistance. A donation in the amount of $385 from the staff at the First Southeast Bank to be used to support the milk break program and another in the amount of $335 from Scheevel & Sons for labor and equipment costs during the installation of the flag pole at the high school football field were accepted by the board

Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation awards $73,400 in grants Eight organizations receive small town grants Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) recently approved eight grants totaling $73,400 to support small towns of 5,000 or less in SMIFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-county region. The Small Town Grants Program seeks to build sustainable and vibrant communities by engaging community members, enhancing existing leadership and creating opportunities for new leadership to emerge. Rather than funding one-time projects, the program seeks to build collaborative efforts and partnerships that will perpetuate collaboration for future work. The 2018 Small Town Grant award recipients are: â&#x20AC;˘ $5,900 to Dodge Refreshed for the development of community events, including a Farmto-Table dinner and a 5K run/ walk, in Dodge Center. â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 to Harmony Economic Development Authority to promote outdoor recreation, music and the arts, and tourism with the creation of a musi-
cal instrument-themed park at Harmonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trailhead Park. â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 to the City of Kiester to engage the community in a visioning process to develop an action plan for Kiesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 to the City of La Crescent to engage the community in a branding process to reflect a shared vision that celebrates the community as a destination point for the tristate area and beyond. â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 to the Plainview Economic Development Authority to develop a community planning team that will organize monthly community meetings focused on problemsolving and inclusive, consensus driven decision-making. â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 to the Spring Valley Economic Development Authority to support a business incubation and acceleration program as well as an activity space in the downtown that attracts all members of the community, new leaders and entrepreneurs.
â&#x20AC;˘ $7,500 to the Preston Economic Development Authority to develop resources on the city website that will aim to promote housing development opportunities in Preston. â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 to Saint James Public Schools to support a strategic planning process for the newly created Uniting Cultures/ Uninendo Culturas group which works towards tolerance, acceptance and celebrating diversity so that all feel a sense of belonging and community pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past 32 years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people come together to enhance their communities,â&#x20AC;? said SMIF President and CEO Tim Penny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SMIFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Town Grants program is intended to put air under the wings of some of those ideas, whether the community needs help with strategic planning, funds to implement a project or a stipend to support a leadership development program.â&#x20AC;?

Fillmore County Turkey Day Run registration deadline is November 6 By Jason Sethre On Thursday, November 22, 2018, the Fillmore County Turkey Day Run will celebrate 10 years of gobblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the gravy train. The 10.3-mile event takes runners, bikers, walkers, and dogwalkers along the scenic stretch of the Root River State Bike Trail from the starting point of Riverside on the Root in Lanesboro, Minn., all the way to Trailhead Inn & Suites in Preston, Minn. If participants are interested in a shorter route, there is an option to travel from Riverside on the Root to the Old Barn Resort, which is only 4.7 miles. However, if you choose to go the distance of 10.3 miles, there
is a frozen turkey waiting at the finish line for the first individual to show everyone how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. All participants are responsible for their own transportation following the conclusion of the event. There is no fee to participate, but participants are encouraged to make a donation to the Fillmore County Food Shelf. Donations will be collected at the start of the Fillmore County Turkey Day Run, and presented to the Fillmore County Food Shelf following the event. Since its inception in 2009, the Fillmore County Turkey Day Run participants have donated over 700 pounds of food to the Fillmore County Food Shelf
along with hundreds of dollars in monetary donations. Rain, sun, snow, or subzero temperatures, the event will still continue on Thanksgiving morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so participants will want to dress accordingly. Registration is at 7:30 a.m. and the journey begins at 8 a.m. Registration is not required, but encouraged. Long-sleeved Fillmore County Turkey Day Run shirts are available for purchase on a pre-order basis only. If you want to be guaranteed to have a shirt, all orders must be processed with prepayment by Tuesday, November 6, 2018. A link to register for the event and pre-order a shirt is accessible at www.fillmorecountyjournal.com/ turkey-day-run.
Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park to remain open during deer hunt on November 3 and 4 Special hunts will take place on November 3 and 4 at Forestville/ Mystery Cave State Park and November 10 and 11 at Lake Louise State Park to prevent overpopulation of deer and protect resources. Both parks will remain open to all visitors, but the DNR advises wearing blaze orange if they visit while the hunt is in progress. Visitors should check for hunt-related information at the park office when they arrive, look carefully for hunt-related signage and follow instructions. Hunts also will take place at other Minnesota state parks and recreation areas this fall, and access to the parks will vary. Some will remain open to all
visitors, some will have limited public access and some will be open only to hunters with special permits. The deadlines have passed for youth and adults to apply for the permit to participate in the hunts, which include regular firearms, muzzleloader and archery options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too many of one animal or plant species in an area can start to throw off the balance of other species in that area,â&#x20AC;? said Tavis Westbrook, Natural Resource Program coordinator for Minnesota State Parks and Trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When there are too many deer in a park, they feed too much on certain trees and native plants, so occasionally we allow deer
hunts as a way to protect natural resources.â&#x20AC;? The DNR thanks visitors for their patience and understanding during the hunts. For a list of parks that are open, partially open or closed during the 2018 hunting season, visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/ hunting.html or contact the DNR Information Center at info.dnr@ state.mn.us or (888) 646-6367 (8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday). Details on which areas of each park will be affected by the special deer hunts can also be found in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visitor Alertâ&#x20AC;? boxes on the individual park Web pages at www.mndnr.gov.
