tions before a decision to start a Growing Project was made. FRB was started in 1999 by a small group of farmers, churches, individuals, and organizations who saw the world’s hunger and poverty issues and decided to address that need. Their mission statement reads, “As a Christian response to world hunger, FRB links the grassroots energy and commitment of the U.S. agricultural community with the capability and desire of small-holder farmers in developing countries to grow lasting solutions to hunger.” FRB raises money to teach people in third world countries how to grow their own food. “What I like about the proCome Enjoy Music!

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. That statement defines the Food Resource Bank, an organization with which locals, Gary Broadwater and Jim Keune, recently began working. If you’ve driven down Highway 16 between Spring Valley and Preston lately, you’ve probably noticed the Food Resource Bank/Bluff Country Harvest sign next to a cornfield by the Fillmore County Airport. The three-acre cornfield the sign sits beside was donated to the Food Resource Bank by Jim. Gary was first introduced to Food Resource Bank by Marlin

By the time Gary left the meeting, he was sold. “I really liked the concept of the program,” he said. Gary told his friend of over 30 years, Jim Keune, about the program, and Jim jumped on board with it, too. They spoke to the stewardship team at Christ Lutheran Church in Preston about partnering with Food Resource Bank, or FRB, to set up a Growing Project in the Fillmore County area. Director of Resource Development, Ron De Weerd spoke with the team to describe what FRB does and answer any ques-

Fillmore Central School Board considers purchase of Slim’s Woodshed By H annah Wingert hannah@fillmorecountyjournal.com

“We have been storing a lot of the props we had built in a storage building in Granger,” Jay Masters said about the equipment for the Monster Bash, which he runs. The shed’s owner plans to rent it out and needs it empty by November 1, creating a problem for Masters as he now has to find a new storage space. “We also have 4’ x 8’ plywood walls being stored in the bus shed in Preston,” he added. This means that when the Monster Bash rolls around each October, a trailer has to be used to haul the props from Granger and Preston into Harmony. “It’s a pain in the neck,” Masters said. When Masters heard that Slim’s Woodshed in Harmony will be up for auction on October 26, he saw potential. He and school

board member Jim Love were able to tour the building and were impressed by what they saw. There’s enough space to store the Monster Bash props and equipment there and even operate the haunted house in the building. “It’s a nice sized building and lot,” Love said. Masters pointed out that it would be great to not have to haul everything to the Harmony Community Center each year. “We could probably even leave the walls up and just rearrange them each year,” he said. Masters suggested sharing the space with the school. “We could store the football equipment there,” Love noted. Masters would prefer to buy the shed himself and then put it in the school’s name so he would maintain the rights to use the space he needs for See WOODSHED Page 8 

Spring Valley sewer rates to rise 5% By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The Spring Valley City Council met on Monday, September 26, 2016, with all members in attendance (Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Bill Bires, Jeff Vehrenkamp and City Administrator Deb Zimmer. The council approved minutes of the previous meeting, and Final Accounts Payable. No visitors had signed up to speak to the council. Deb Zimmer presented Resolution 2016-27 to the council, regarding a proposed increase in the city’s sewer rates. She explained that when Mike Bubany had consulted with the city, he suggested considering a 10% increase, but this pro-

posed resolution is for a 5% increase. She said, “An average home would go up about $1.90 a month,” and she added, “For clarification, this would go into effect with usage beginning January 1, so the usage in January would actually be billed in February.” The council unanimously approved the resolution as submitted. The new base rate will be $18.03, and the “per 1,000 gallon rate” will be $4.34. Next, the council considered a change order regarding the Lyndale/Fremont street improvement project. Zimmer explained that the only change See SPRING VALLEY Page 2 

gram is that they don’t just give money to them, they teach them how to take care of themselves,” Gary said. FRB supports 50-60 overseas programs through the help of the Growing Projects in the U.S. Growing Projects are started by and run by volunteers and organizations to raise money for FRB. There are around 205 Growing Projects in 22 states. They are started on donated or rented land and supported by donations of time, farm equipment, seeds, money, etc. For example, the Growing Project that Gary and Jim started, called Bluff Country Harvest, is run with three acres of land that Jim donated to the project. Steve Redalen with Wyffels Hybrids donated the seed corn, and Jim’s son, Jared Keune furnished the equipment needed to plant and harvest the crop. Gary will combine the corn and haul it to a grain elevator to sell. The proceeds will be deposited in a special account while the Bluff Country Harvest volunteers decide what FRB overseas project to donate the money to. Bluff Country Harvest is also supported by Christ Lutheran Church in Preston, Preston Dairy & Farm, and the John Deere Foundation. FRB shows the love of God by helping those in developing countries learn to support their families through agriculture. It is not affiliated with any specific church or religion, but strives to live out the Bible commandment to love your neighbors. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, FRB partners with organizations such as The Alliance to End World Hunger, Catholic Relief Services, Church of the Brethren, Farmer to Farmer, The John Deere Foundation, Lutheran World Relief, Seed Programs International, World Renew, and more. By doing so, they are able to combine resources and knowledge and reach more people. FRB is very open about how the money it receives it used. “A lot of times, you give money and don’t know where it’s going,”

Gary noted. The overseas project areas are open for anyone to visit. They also host mission trips. While Christ Lutheran is heading Bluff Country Harvest, it’s not a church project. It’s a community project with which anyone is welcome to participate. “We’re hoping to get more churches, individuals, and businesses to partner with and grow,” Jim said. He would like to see more land being donated or rented to the project and is hoping that more churches join and a board can be formed. “We’d like to expand and get more people involved,” Gary added. It’s not just farmers that can help FRB. Anyone can raise money using different methods or can donate their time or other resources. “It isn’t about raising a big pile of money,” Gary pointed out. Marlin Hershey described how the people of one overseas project area were just throwing corn on top of the ground to plant it. Naturally, a lot of the corn didn’t germinate and the seed that did, did not grow into a healthy plant. FRB taught them how to plant the corn so it would be a successful crop. The women and girls of another project area spent their entire days walking to get fresh water. FRB showed the community how to install dams and lagoons to catch water and irrigate properly, which freed up a lot of time for the women. This allowed the girls time to go to school and get an education, showing that FRB enriches lives in many different ways. Often communities that FRB has helped share their newfound knowledge and agricultural techniques with their neighbors, spreading the organization’s impact even further. “Those are the factors that really tripped my trigger, so to speak,” said Jim.

is in the completion date, due to delays caused by the heavy rains. The change order calls for substantial completion by October 28. The council unanimously OK’d this change order as submitted. The council then heard from Deb Zimmer regarding the Brent Eisenmann Rental Ordinance Violation. Zimmer explained that no action was needed by the council because, “He did have the inspection last Friday and he did pass. We did have a little discussion about some of the stuff in his yard, which he says he’s going to be taking care of, and we’ll monitor that.” John Fenske (Parks Department) then gave an update, stating he’s been “Busy as heck with football going on…and volleyball started Saturday.” He

added, “The big window in the community center leaked like crazy in the big rain.” Todd Jones asked about putting silicone or something similar around the window to seal it, at least through the winter, and Fenske said he’ll figure something out to fix it until it can be permanently repaired. Chad Hindt reported the Streets Department is “Still mowing lawns…I don’t know if that’s ever going to end.” Jenny Simon (Library Department) informed the council that Phil Jamerson from the Civilian Conservation Corps will be giving a presentation at the library on October 3 at 2 p.m., adding, “From what I understand, it’s pretty entertaining, …with singing and skits.” Laura Bockman (Ambulance) reported that ambulance Unit #1 had four injectors replaced, but they are under warranty, so there was no cost.

Rasmussen (Police) submitted a written report. Zimmer said the council will need to hold a special meeting for the Electric Revenue Bond. The council selected to hold that meeting at 6 p.m. on October 5. She also pointed out that the city continues to have trouble with “flushable wipes” clogging things up, and she asked to remind citizens that “Flushable doesn’t mean flushable.” Todd Jones thanked Chad Hindt for fielding calls and handling concerns when the heavy rains caused damage to several alleys. Mayor Struzyk also praised the Streets Department for their hard work, and said he was pleased to see the “Sentenced to Serve” crew has been clearing a lot of brush along the trail. The meeting adjourned about 6:15 p.m. The next regular meeting of the city council will be October 10 at 6pm. The public is welcome.

ized numbers show that inflated costs are raising the levy 3 to 4% on regular expenses. Also, every year there is something, like drainage ditches and the front steps of the Thurber Building, that is over and above the regular expenses. Novotny maintained we are four years away from doing a street project, suggesting we should add more money to this (the budget). Then we will have the option to talk about it more before the end of the year and can work to chip it down. He suggested adding $10,000 to the increase, acknowledging it costs a lot to run the city. A motion to set the preliminary levy at $1,554,864, which reflects a 9.31% increase, was approved unanimously. The public hearing was set for 7 p.m., December 12. Public Works Mark Welch, G-Cubed, recommended the lowest bid from Integrity Tree Service at a cost of $3,675 for tree removal from County Road 10 to Highway 52. The bid was accepted. Welch noted there has been quite a bit of erosion from the recent heavy rains and some areas will need to be built up. The slope on the south side needs to be stabilized. The Union St. drainage project is still expected to be done later this fall. Brian Burkholder reviewed two change orders for the water meter project. The project has been upgraded from a drive-by system to a fixed network. The change orders raise the total project cost from $386,381 to $410,867. Most of the increased www.ksmq.org

It sets council member pay at $3,000 per year plus $25 per special meeting. â&#x20AC;˘ Approval was given for the second reading of the ordinance to opt out of granny pods, along with its publication.

Water department employees will not use their time to do drive-by reading of the meters.

C ommentary Is legacy or hatred a reason to vote? By Stan Gudmundson “The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to Col. Stan the anointGudmundson ed. How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing with everyone else?” Tom Sowell makes a great point here in helping us to understand why there so many ridiculous, silly and outrageous ideas that come from academia. The “smarter-than-thous” must have their say even if, as someone once said, what they claim is so stupid that only intellectuals believe it. It doesn’t help that PhD candidates in the “intellectual dis-

ciplines” have to write dissertations they can defend as somewhat original. They must find something that is new, newish, or counters common sense since much of the virtuous rational stuff has been comprehensively covered. Mostly by dead white males. Their counter-establishment/ anti-common sense/anti-American “research” is best done in environments where professors are borderline wacky to begin with. Unfortunately, there are far too many universities populated by these arrogant malcontents. From these places and people, we get nonsense about white privilege, micro/macroaggression, safe-spaces, cultural appropriation, and the rest of their hocus-pocus “wisdom.” Unfortunately, the Democrat party feeds off this drivel. Many voters vote liberal despite that what they believe is no longer represented by Democrats/liberals. A hardcore Democrat and I once compared political views. His

were as conservative as mine. He still votes Democrat. And like many, many others he will not change. Reasons for this schizoid voting? Two biggies. Some are legacy voters. Grandpa and Dad were Democrats so I’m a Democrat. Won’t change, can’t change, Democrat positions are always and everywhere correct. Even if these voters disagree with Democrats. And, even after the Democrat party left them years ago. Others who vote Democrat recognize that liberalism no longer represents their values and beliefs but still vote leftist anyway. Why, given that this is illogical and unreasonable? It has nothing to do with facts or issues. They loath Republicans and Conservatives far, far more than anything and everything the Democrat Party has done, does, and will do. They’ve picked the anti-Republican/anti-conservative team. That mandates hate. A hate that is an integral part of their very being. It has an intensity

Letter about Trehus and gun rights... To the Editor, Do you want government to take your guns? DFL state representative candidate Thomas Trehus does. When asked about gun control at a recent town meeting, he stated that when it comes to some high-pwered rifles, “I don’t think they have a place in civilian life,” and that, “I don’t see a lot of folks hunting with them around here.” That sound you just heard was every local hunter falling over in shock.

Apparently, Trehus doesn’t know that you can hunt deer, moose, or bear with rifles in northern Minnesota, or that high-powered rifles are almost exclusively used to control foxes, coyotes, and other predatory animals. In short, Trehus wants to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights because he doesn’t think some high-powered rifles have a place in civilian life - even though any local livestock farmer with a coyote problem would beg to difer. Trehus’ gun control position is not only dangerous, it is scary.

Trehus’ f lippant attitude toward gun rights is exactly why we must re-elect State Representative Greg Davids. He knows that government has no business telling you what types of guns you can own, and has always been a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Let’s stop this gun control nonsense before it starts and vote Greg Davids for state representative on November 8. Joe Sheffer Hokah, MN

that can seldom be breached. Democrats? Good, my team. Republicans/ conservatives? Bad, the enemy. Must be destroyed. Tectonic plates move at supersonic speed compared to the speed at which these people are willing to let go of their hate. Their voting is based on little more than this pathetic emotion. I once was a liberal. I kept looking for results that proved liberal positions were true. Lessons of life also intruded. I am a conservative now. But if you are not willing to look for proof, what you will do instead, is cling to false old narratives to confirm your hatred and bizarre position. Such as the never-was-correct and simplistic notion that “Republicans are for the rich and Democrats are for the little guy.” Understanding the Great Depression was key in my rejection of liberalism. Did FDR get us out of that depression? Extensive reading about economics and history compelled me to understand that he didn’t. He prolonged and worsened it. He was totally incompetent. Another was Lyndon JohnLetter about Trehus and the pro-life issue... To the Editor, I was outraged to learn that Democratic state representative candidate Thomas Trehus thinks pro-life initiatives are simply “wedge issues.” At a town meeting a while back, Trehus was asked about pro-life issues. Not only did he insist on not answering whether he was pro-life or pro-choice, he said, “Making this a political issue and a wedge issue is unstatesmenlike and wrong.” Since when did fighting for the lives of the unborn become wrong? I’d like to think that most residents in Fillmore and Houston counties are pro-life, so Trehus’ smart-alecky comment is a slap in the face to those of us who prioritize life from birth until natural death. Very simply, Trehus is being wishy-washy on pro-life because he knows his beliefs differ from that of the district he wants to represent. On the other hand, State Representative Greg Davids received a 100% rating from Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) over the past two years and has always been a consistent advocate for the unborn. If you are pro-life, you simply cannot afford to elect someone who thinks it’s wrong to discuss abortion issues at the State Capitol. Please join me in voting for State Representative Greg Davids - a proven pro-life supporter - on November 8. Sincerely, Mrs. Carole Yenter Preston, MN

son’s “Great Society.” Did it end poverty? Mostly it made things worse. Moreover, it fundamentally destroyed the black family. No amount of government programs or money can ever repair that. We suffer because of it. Liberals continually reinforce my opposition to their principles and their beliefs, such as they are. LGBT “civil-rights” make businesses provide services/products counter to many business owner’s convictions. Is it right to force someone to bake a cake, provide flowers for, cater, or photograph a “wedding” for homosexuals? No way. That is persecution of Christian faith. It is nothing less than a crude crime against constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion. Sanctioned by unelected liberal judges. If you despise conservatives, America, and/or Christians more virulently than anything else, you will not change. You cannot change. You will continue to detest those who are not Democrats. And you will find irrational excuses to vote accordingly.

C ommentary Why this Democrat wants a strong Republican Party By Lee Hamilton I’ve been a Democrat all my life. I believe in the party’s values, I’m pleased when its candidates win elections, and I’m persuaded the country is better off when Democratic ideas get a fair shake in the public arena. But none of this means that I favor a weak Republican Party. Indeed, just the opposite. Before my Democratic friends drum me out of the party’s ranks, let me explain why. Lee H. The short Hamilton answer is, our nation is stronger and our representative democracy healthier when we have two strong parties. A single political party that’s able to dominate public policy-making undermines the give-and-take that’s crucial to effective policy and leaves us weaker as a country. Why is this? Let’s start with the big picture. If you think about the issues we confront — from the impact of climate change to the fight against terrorism to rebuilding an economy that serves poor and working families as well as it does the wealthy — it’s hard to argue that a single perspective or ideology really has all the answers. None of us, and neither political party, has a monopoly on wisdom. Moreover, this country is huge

and varied, and the legitimacy of the political system rests on its ability to give voice to the multitude of concerns and attitudes held by the American people. Some prefer the GOP’s approach, others the Democrats’, but it’s important they all have a political party to turn to. The more people feel that no one represents them or their views, the more alienated they become from the democratic process. So the country benefits when two robust parties face off — in elections, in Congress, and in the 50 legislatures. When they can present their views, defend them, adjust them, and negotiate, compromise, and move forward, we’re being well served. Which brings me to the Republican Party of today. I don’t want to get into the split between backers of Donald Trump and the traditional Republican leadership — that’s for the GOP to sort out, and they certainly don’t want the advice of an old Democrat. But there’s no doubt that the Republican Party has reached a crossroads. If Trump wins the presidency, he’ll be the chief actor in determining the future of his party and what it stands for. If he loses, the GOP will more than likely move back toward its more traditional views as a party that embraces the free market, advocates for a muscular approach to national security,

believes in American exceptionalism and our role in leading the world away from chaos, is filled with fiscal hawks who think that we have to curb entitlement programs, and pays attention to a business community that believes trade wars — especially with Mexico or China — would be catastrophic. I suppose I’m showing my biases here, but I believe that a robust Republican Party will strengthen its willingness to improve and broaden the policy debate and move it away from steps to impede it. This would be a GOP that advocates for limited government, wants to reform our unwieldy tax code, and is determined to remain fiscally responsible so that deficits don’t explode. I want to see Republicans tackle our healthcare system by reforming it using market mechanisms. I want Republicans to confront regulations that hamper the formation and growth of businesses, especially small businesses. And I want them to remain inclined toward devolving power away from Washington, giving states more control over such basic responsibilities as highways, welfare, and education. Each of these issues has been at the center of the national agenda for many years, suggesting their difficulty. We need proposals from both sides that are realistic, coherent, and based on numbers that add up. We need parties that are at the top of

their game, generating solutions to the issues we confront that can get vetted in Congress, and be amended and reshaped to reflect the realities of a divided country.

the Monster Bash. Masters has been working hard to get money lined up for the potential purchase of the shed, which has been valued at around $40,000. After meeting with a number of individuals and the Harmony and Preston Foundations, he believes that he has $15,000 committed at this point. Masters hopes to raise $10,000 with the Monster Bash this year and another $5,000 from Haunted Harmony. $10,000 of that money would go straight to the students, $3000 would be set aside for next year’s Monster Bash start-up costs, and the remaining $2,000 would be donated to the arts department at the school. “I would love to have a $1,000 Monster Bash scholarship to give to a senior each year,” Masters said about his future plans for the event.

High school Principal Heath Olstad reported that the current enrollment numbers are 285 for the high school and 348 for K-6. The high school enrollment is up five students from last year and includes five foreign exchange students. The K-6 numbers increased by 15 students from the previous year. A parenting meeting will be held at the stage gym in Preston on October 3 from 6-7 p.m. to discuss the Action 100 plan that the district is implementing this year.

Planning Commission looks at event venue requests facility, but it can also be used for class reunions or family parties. The wedding party is responsible for the caterer and if liquor is desired, the Preston Servicemen’s Club would need to be hired. O’Connor said there is adequate parking space and porta potties will be rented from Neal Storkie, Spring Grove. There were five events held in this facility this year. O’Connor said events are all held on the ground floor of the barn. For family events, they may provide the food rather than hire a caterer. Zoning administrator Cristal Adkins made it clear that the ordinance requires that all Minnesota Department of Health regulations be satisfied, when

By Karen Reisner At the September 22 meeting of the Fillmore County Planning Commission, two conditional use permit (CUP) applications for event venues were considered. Event venues fall under the recently adopted Agricultural Tourism Businesses section of the county zoning ordinances. The CUP request submitted by Chuck and Joan O’Connor, Section 18 Bristol Township, is for a remodeled barn to be used as a rented event venue. Chuck O’Connor explained during the public hearing that the 34-foot by 60-foot structure has been modified to host parties. There is room for 150 guests. Some wedding receptions have been held in this

the venue is being rented. O’Connor explained that they have a farm insurance policy for liability protection, adding that the insurance provider is aware of the event use of the barn. Duane Bakke requested that a copy of the relatively new ordinance be provided to O’Connor. Adkins asked that O’Connor be required to provide insurance information that shows liability coverage. She added that they should be in compliance with State Fire Marshal rules. Brad Erickson suggested all of the exits be marked. Bakke noted that the ordinance requires that state statutes be adhered to. There were no comments from township officers or the public. The commission voted to send the CUP request on to the county board with the conditions that a certificate of insurance be provided and that state and federal fire regulations are followed. Randy and Debbie Ristau presented their plan to build a 100-foot by 50-foot special event pavilion on the Randy Ristau property in Section 5 Preston Township. Debbie described her difficulty in finding a venue for a wedding in this region. She explained that they want to build a venue from the ground up near the Preston city sign. The special event rental pavilion will be primarily for weddings, including ceremony, reception, and dance for up to 300 guests. It is to be open on three sides with an enclosed area for catering, storage, and dressing room. The three-season structure will have a curtain system. OnSite Sanitation Co., Rochester, will be hired to provide a restroom trailer with running water. Debbie said catering and alcohol services will be contracted out and the liability will be with them. She expects there could be one event per weekend from May through September. Debbie said there is nothing in southeast Minnesota close to this and it will promote the local area. She said there is adequate parking area and good site distance for accessing Highway 52. Adkins said the Ristaus will have to contact MnDot to get the driveway access approved. During the public hearing, Preston Township Supervisor Andrew Bisek said we support this endeavor. Neighboring land owner Michael Tomashek asked about restrictions on noise. Debbie said the hours of operation should be from Friday evening to Saturday midnight. Randy Ristau added they hope to start construction this fall. Approval was given to send the CUP request on to the county board with these conditions: the entertainment is to be shut down Saturday at midnight, MnDot approval of driveway access is required, certificate of insurance is to be

provided, and state and federal fire regulations are to be followed. Other business in brief • Planning commission member Jim Keune announced he is retiring from the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment. He has represented District 4 since 1999 in this capacity. • Adkins suggested that the penalty fee required for those that fail to get a building permit before building be increased. There may be a discussion concerning this and other fees at

the next meeting. • Gary Ruskell suggested they take a look at the county’s Comprehensive Plan. He said we should keep up with the times, adding Rochester is growing. Things are changing and some things are outdated. The last comprehensive plan was updated over 10 years ago. Bakke said a consultant would have to be hired to do the demographics. He said studies are being done all the time. A regional document is being done concerning the effects of Destination Medical Center. Bakke suggested that members of the commission review the current Comprehensive Plan.

Fillmore County Sports Big Drive Propels FC Past #8 L-A

athlete of the week

By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal. com A year ago, FC (3-0) at L-A (3-0) was a rankedThe Trende ranked Report one-sided affair. The Falcons played without TB/LB Tyson Ristau, surrendered a 35-point Paul Trende second q u a r t e r, and fell 45-13. The 2016 rematch had FC maybe re-earning a state ranking. L-A scored first, a Dusty Knutson 4-yard TD run in the second. FC replied just three plays later. Nate Haugerud waited nicely, and made a nice cut, on a 61-yard TD run. L-A led 7-6 at intermission. The second half saw five drives. FC’s first made the L-A 14 (downs). L-A then made the FC six (Caleb Kath interception in the end zone on third and goal). FC then went on big a 12-play drive, overcoming a holding-inspired 1st and 19 from the L-A 22 (offset by a first down securing Cardinal encroachment). On first and goal, Haugerud went around end three yards for FC’s first lead (12-7) early in fourth. L-A then drove to the FC 21, but Knutson fumbled and Riley Means recovered. Three first downs equaled Falcon winners, 12-7 over #8 in AA L-A! FC felled Class A #3 Goodhue last week. Haugerud’s carries were nearly all big (7-97, 2 TDs, three FDs). Means (18-83 rushing, 3-7, 37, INT passing)

ran 15 for 85 after halftime. Josh Peters (11-63 rushing) helped a mainly ground FC attack (R 260, P 37, T 297). Knutson (11-88, TD rushing, 7-9, 105, INT passing) led L-A. The Cards had 17 first downs to FC 13. Eleven of FC’s came in second half. Yards were close. Turnovers (2 to FC’s 1) did in L-A. The Falcons (2-1, 3-1) are +6 scoring this year, all games decided in fourth. They’ve played their toughest foes (RP, Goodhue, L-A).

athletic play-makers, Carlson (19-120, 2 TDs rushing, 24-yard TD reception, FF), Skalet (1015, 159, 4 TDs, 2 INTs passing), Rasmussen (4-50, 2 TDs receiving, PR-TD, interception), and Paulson (4-75, TD receiving, sack, FF, two FRs), flexed their fast-twitch muscles. R-P’s defense forced five Hayfield turnovers. The Trojans now have 14 takeaways the last three weeks. They are +8 on the season. They’ve won that battle all four weeks.

In Rushford, the Root River was out of its banks, flooding farm fields. At Ben Niggle Field, #3 in Class A R-P (3-0) splashed Hayfield (2-1) with big plays, churning the scoreboard. The Trojans had two TDs before an FD (first down). Noah Carlson’s 49-yard TD run and Lukas Rasmussen’s 47-yard punt return TD made it 14-0 after one. A 32-yard Landon Skalet to Rasmussen TD pass made it 20-0. Hayfield’s Gunner Scott (1-yard TD run) scored just before the half to make it 20-6. The deluge of R-P plays continued in the third. Skalet hit Carlson on a 24-yard TD pass (27-7). Spencer Majerus recorded a safety (29-7). Carlson returned the free kick 53 yards and scored on a 1-yard TD run (36-6). Rasmussen then picked a pass and went 43 yards, setting up a Skalet to Rasmussen 4-yard TD (42-6). Skalet’s fourth TD pass, 43 yards to Jake Paulson in the fourth, flushed the Vikings out of town. Perfect R-P (3-0, 4-0) prevailed 48-6. Thanks to FC (above), they lead the MidSoutheast East. The Trojans’

For a while, they are in great company. In the state’s top 9-man district and section, thru four week, Houston is tied with defending state champion #1 Grand Meadow (4-0) and #2 Spring Grove (4-0). The Hurricanes stayed perfect (4-0) by downing Alden-Conger/Glenville-Emmons. Houston senior QB Harry Chiglo notched a 40-yard TD run in the first, and a 9-yard TD run (+2) in the second, to give Houston a 14-0 halftime lead. It held as the final. AC/G-E had 129 yards passing and 84 rushing. They had two turnovers to Houston’s zero and were 3-of-17 on third downs. The Hurricanes procured all 312 of their yards on the ground (0-7 passing). Chiglo (13-112, 2 TD’s rushing) led the way. Zach Schneider (14-86 rushing) and Joey Fishel (13-71 rushing) also did work. Chiglo, who lost most of his junior year to injury, has over 500 total yards (R 324, P 216) and ten total TDs (R 9, P 1).

M-C volleyball went 70-71 serving with 21 aces (Lexi Thorson 8) in beating Hope Lutheran. Kingsland beat Cotter. It resulted in the Knights’ first three match win streak since 2012. It’s their second TRC win (again, first since 2012). Kingsland (2-3, 5-5) hasn’t been even this deep in the season since 2010. FC swept Chatfield behind Kenzie Broadwater’s 12 kills. Caledonia (6-0, 15-2), FC (5-1, 9-6), PEM (4-1, 5-1), SC (4-1, 7-4), and D-E (4-1, 9-6) head the TRC. Lanesboro swept Houston. Joelie Schreiber had a county/season-high 19 kills. M-C swept Lanesboro in a battle of top SEC teams.

Coranda Vickerman had 11 kills, 9 digs, and 9 assists. The Cougars (8-0, 18-3) lead the East. R-P (2-3, 10-8) swept Chatfield behind Ashley Agrimson’s efforts (12 kills, 13 digs, 15-15 serving, 3 aces). It’s R-P’s first win over Chatfield since before 2004. Collin Scott (192 yards, 3 TDs) led a trio of Burros (Cole Schwichtenberg, Brett Wangen) who topped a-hundo rushing in 58-20 win over West Lutheran. Lanesboro (2-2) had 651 yards (525 rushing). Per a flood, the game was played at Rochester Regional Stadium. The Pine Island CC Invite was also impacted (postponed) due to flooding.

Wyffels to Erickson Propels M-C in OT

Mabel-Canton needed more than regulation to get past Randolph. The Cougars led after one (26-14), two (32-26), and three (40-32) quarters. The Rockets scored the only TD (+2) of the fourth for the 40-40 tie. M-C then had the ball in Rocket territory thrice, and Randolph in MC territory once, but no scoring, sending the game to OT. There, M-C held defensively. A penaltyinspired second and goal from the 24 was remedied when QB Drew Wyffels hit OL Hunter Erickson on a 24-yard TD pass, a dramatic walk-off score. M-C (3-1) prevailed 46-40. Weston Whalen led the way (22-256, 5 TDs rushing; 1 ½ sacks). Brenden Kerns (23-162, TD rushing) also topped a-hundo. Wyffels (4-7, 57, TD passing; FF, FR, INT, team-high 16 tackles on ‘D’) impacted the game big both ways. Andrew Wenstrom (25-178, 3 TDs rushing; 28-47, 230, 3 TDs, INT passing) was huge for the Rockets. Nine penalties for 88 yards hurt Randolph (MC 4-35). The Cougars survived a 4-to-2 turnover deficit (three second half fumbles).

socialscenes A View From The Woods By Loni Kemp ©SallyKeating2011

Do It Yourself I often visit my 84-year-old mother for several days at her senior apartment outside of the Twin Cities. She likes to take me to the large living room downstairs where friends gather at all hours of the day and evening to

chat, drink coffee and play cards. My mother always pulls out her knitting bag and sets to creating hats, dish cloths or baby sweaters while she catches up on all the news.

Popovers

Makes 6 to 8 Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Place muffin pan or popover pan in preheated 375 degree oven to heat. Beat two eggs in a bowl as you drizzle in 1 cup milk, whisking until smooth. Sprinkle in 1 cup flour and a pinch of salt and whisk until blended. The batter will have a few lumps. Remove pan from oven and brush the melted butter inside eight muffin cups or six popover cups.Scoop batter to fill muffin cups two thirds full. Bake in center of oven for 30 minutes. Do not open oven door. When nicely browned, remove from pans and serve immediately.

Pet of the Week

Beagle/Mix

Male • Dog • Brown/White • Medium Meet Wayne!! This cute Beagle came to PCHS from an area impound. He is believed to be about 3yrs old, and is such a friendly boy! Wayne loves to play with the other dogs here at the shelter and loves all people. Stop in and meet this cutie today!!

It continually amazes her that most other folks there “don’t do anything.” They don’t sew, don’t cook, and don’t have hobbies. Of course, they have earned a happy retirement, but my mother can’t imagine just sitting around all the time. She feels useful and creative when she is engaged in fixing things, making things and caring for others. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I have always gained much satisfaction from taking on projects for myself. Sure, I could hire a professional or buy the finished product. But that is sometimes not the point. To learn and use my own skills and imagination adds layers of enjoyment and pride to the process. To paint a room or make a flower arrangement or bake bread expresses that I am in charge of my life. I am competent, and can make my home or food or clothing an expression of me. I have always hated being identified as a consumer. True, I buy as much as anyone else, but I am also a human being who creates and produces. Even failure is part of the process. Then I may ask someone for help, or spend hours Googling for helpful hints. Or I just laugh and toss those jars of smelly fermented pickles into the compost pile without even tasting them. No harm in trying.

Rushford approves EDA recommendations Rushford Hypersonic to apply to utilize Category 2 funding for businesses not directly affected by the flood. The non-forgivable loan was contingent on matching funding from a private source and meeting all state criteria for the loan category. At the time, company founder Dan Fox and then City Administrator Block noted the purpose of the loan category as boosting local economy and job availability. By the following January, the council debated the company’s $500,000 loan request. The amount was the maximum that could be awarded to one company. City Attorney Terry Chiglo argued the business was in in operation at the time of the flood and suggested the city consider this business under former EDA rules. A vote on the application was postponed.

The Rushford City Council hears an update from the Airport Commission’s Charla Miertschin, giving a summary of the SpectaculAir event. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner By Kirsten Zoellner The Rushford Council approved three recommendations by the Economic Development Authority at the Monday, September 25 council meeting. Affecting all current and future EDA loans are changes to the loan Modification/Forbearance Policy. The policy amendments aimed at reducing considerable time and effort by city staff in ensuring loan reporting requirements are met, to authorize rapid action after failure to comply with requirements, and to require more detailed financial analysis in order to apply for debt restructure. It was noted by staff that the purpose of the policy remains to accommodate businesses with legitimate hardships. “Continuing to make payments on a loan is a priority with Rushford EDA and the loan modification is the first tool to consider when a business demonstrates a hardship. It can include, but is not limited to, temporarily reducing payments and/or interest rates.”

“Forbearance also allows the EDA to modify a loan to accommodate a hardship. It can include but is not limited to temporarily postponing payments on loans. However, interest continues to accrue, and when the loan modification or forbearance expires, the unpaid interest is added to the principal balance of the loan,” states the policy. Forbearance periods are allowed for up to 12 months, but must be filed in writing 60 days prior and are subject to quarterly financial reviews and Small Business Development Center Financial Analysis. “They’ve enhanced and cleaned up the documents. There’s a number of aspects that’ll make it easier to track and follow,” said City Administrator Tony Chladek. The recommendation was approved unanimously. Related to the same topic, the council once again took a look at issues with the EDA loan and forbearance to Hypersonix, formerly Rushford Hypersonic, LLC. In December 2007, the EDA first approved allowing then

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. The funding was finally approved in 2009. Additional funding was provided to the company from a Southern Minnesota Initiative Fund (SMIF) loan and from a private investor. The company sought another loan in the amount of $70,000 in September 2010 that was eventually denied. Then, in August 2013, the EDA recommended the city approve a $145,000 subsidy loan to Rushford Hypersonic for the financing the low-scale production of products for distribution. Previous funding had been utilized, according to the company, for research, design, development, and fine tuning for testing. The new amount was requested to fund a carousel component to begin production of coated drill bits for industrial use. The loan was controversial and debated by the EDA, council, and the community. The company indicated it had $2 million invested in research

and development and that the additional funding would simply start the revenue stream. Company President Jay Skranka stated the company anticipated cranking out bits in 60 days, with an additional 30 days to fine tune the process, with a goal is to create 10,000 coated drill bits per eight-hour shift, equating to a $40,000 a month profit to the company. City Attorney Terry Chiglo directed that it be certified that the city would be first in collateral in case of liquidation and that the company comply with the EDA loan policy. In December 2014, the company requested and was approved for a 12-month loan forbearance until January 2016. A year later it requested an additional 12 months, and after review, was granted six months. It was noted at the time that the company’s move out of Rushford and into See RUSHFORD Page 23 

Winona was a violation of the agreement, but the agreement was amended due to size constraints of the former Rushford facility, as well as cost savings to the new space. The forbearance period expired July 1 and it was noted by the city that no paperwork or requests had been received from the company. A letter was sent to the company giving notice to cure the default by September 21 or the loan would be referred to the city council for action. To date, the company owes the city $645,000, plus accrued interest for two loans. In total, with loans to RINTEK and SMIF, they owe $1,221,738. As of the council meeting, no payment or paperwork had yet been received. “I met with them and they had nothing to show us,” stated Administrator Chladek. “They have nothing to cure the default and no recommendations to us. They’re not in any position to provide financials and are fully engrossed in their product. They’re starting to

make some breakthroughs, but there’s no product to market or sell.” Councilor Terri Benson, who also sits on the EDA, noted that at this time there is no real recourse for the city other than to let the company put its energy in trying to create a useable product and thereby generate revenue in which to repay the city. “I struggle with the amount of money, but nothing’s going to change, at least for now. According to City Clerk Kathy Zacher, items that were listed as collateral for collections are no longer worth the value. “The more we push them, the more they spin doing things we want. We’re spending so much time asking them for things they can’t give us,” added Benson. “Maybe the dust will settle and we will get something. We’ll focus on something productive.” “Maybe they feel like they’re off the hook,” said Zacher. “It’s not fair to the other loan holders.” Administrator Chladek offered several options including a motion to lay the question on

Monday, October 3, 2016 the table; sending the matter to collections, which could result in a ruling, but no way for the company to repay; sending the matter back to the EDA, which could result in the EDA spending additional time and money; amending reporting requirements to be less burdensome, but still accountable; and writing off the amount as uncollectable. The last option appeared to be off the table for the council. According to a letter from the EDA to the council, the EDA believes that tabling the item the best measure. By sending to collections, the city would spend additional money on legal action and “end up with nothing but creating a reputation for making bad loans and compounding it by creating a legal adversary or bankrupting the business venture.” It was also noted that by continuing to collections the it would “likely scare away Hypersonix’s current and future possible investors.” SMIF has loaned $200,000 to Hypersonix and has taken a similar ‘sit back and wait’ approach. “They have literally thumbed their nose at us,” said Councilor

County sets preliminary 2017 budget and levy By Karen Reisner At the September 27 county board meeting, commissioners set the preliminary 2017 budget and levy. Early 2017 budget proposals projected an increase of $1.4 million, or about 15%. County Coordinator Bob-

Mark Honsey. “We’re laying it on the table. Let’s wait and see,” suggested Councilor Jim O’Donnell. “We’ll keep an eye on them to be sure they don’t close up shop and walk away.” The preliminary, maximum levy for 2017 has been set at $867,000. The amount, which cannot be raised, but can be reduced, will be finalized and certified to Fillmore County December 26. In other news, the council considered the contribution of $5,000 in EDA funds for the purpose of upgrading the Public Access Channel. The Rushford Peterson Valley Chamber of Commerce is in the process of securing funding for the purchase of a $13,750 system, to be owned and operated by the city and housed at the new R-P School facility. The system will allow audio to be added to current programming, as well as the ability to add scheduled programming and additional feed capabilities. According to Chamber Director Jennifer Hengel, the system will allow for recorded and

edited informational and educational development, including coverage of news, sports and community events, public health information and videos from the state. Partnership with the school and the possible development of a technology team, overseen by R-P Technology Director Corey Mattson, is anticipated. The R-P Booster Club is contributing $5,000 to the upgrade and additional sources are expected to cover the cost. “It’s a win-win. It’s a no brainer for me,” said Councilor Benson. “You make it available and people will watch it,” added Mayor Chris Hallum. “We’ve fallen short on this for a long time,” added Councilor O’Donnell. The council voted unanimously to approve the monetary contribution. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, October 11, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. Please note the day change to accommodate the Monday holiday. The public is encouraged to attend.

be contracted cost for the transportation and disposal of solid waste. This convinced most of the commissioners that they best not cut too deep. When the final budget and levy is approved in December the levy can be lowered, but not increased. The preliminary budget and levy was set with the 8% increase. Chairman Marc Prestby voted no.

The county has a temporary agreement with Waste Management to transport solid waste, ending October 31. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the transportation and disposal of solid waste from the Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center was approved at the August See COUNTY Page 27 

Fillmore County youth celebrate 4-H Week Oct. 2-8 PRESTON - October 2-8 is National 4-H Week, and Fillmore County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. The 4-H youth development program provides “learn by doing” experiences to encourage youth to experiment, innovate and think independently. 4-H programs are offered through school-based, after-school, and camp settings and within community clubs, where groups meet regularly to work on projects, perform community service and develop leadership skills. Through this unique process, youth obtain essential life skills such as problem solving, decision making, coping and communicating.

“4-H provides positive nonschool learning opportunities that are critical for the development of young people,” said Dorothy McCargo Freeman, State 4-H Youth Development Program Leader. “As a result, 4-H youth are able to contribute and make a difference in positive ways in their homes, schools and communities throughout Minnesota.” Today’s 4-H projects include the traditional and still popular agriculture and animal science projects. But 4-H youth also work on cutting-edge technology projects, such as aquatic robotics, digital photography, community service and environmental projects, such as maintaining local hiking trails and testing water in area streams for contaminants. Recent findings from Tufts

University’s 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tufts research discovered that the structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-Hers receive play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to their communities. In Fillmore County, more than 350 4-H members and 150 volunteers are involved in 4‑H. Also during National 4-H Week, hundreds of thousands of youth from all around the nation will complete a single, innovative experiment on 4-H National Youth Science Day, which will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2016. The 2016 National Science Experiment,

community and careers. Research shows that youth who participate in 4-H have better grades and are more emotionally engaged with school, are more than twice as likely to be civically active and contribute to their communities, and are 47% less likely to have risky or problem behaviors.

23 meeting. This approval was made pending the county attorney’s review. The proposals will not be received and opened until October 21 and are expected to be considered by the board at the October 25 meeting. Solid waste administrator Jon Martin reviewed four bids he had received for a compactor. He recommended a 4-yard compactor from ABM, a complete unit less electrical hook-up, at a cost of $35,870. The compactor will allow for huge reductions in the number of loads of waste to be transported. The compaction should allow one semi to haul four to five times the weight, saving on transportation costs. Martin explained the compactor will be anchored to the concrete floor. The planned installation of the compactor was noted in the RFP. The purchase of the compactor was approved. A request to retire from Jon Martin effective October 31 was

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Is there a minimum size that a steering wheel in a vehicle has to be? I noticed a car that had a very small aftermarket steering wheel and was curious what the law says about that. What about the law of having a steering wheel knob attached to the steering Troy H. wheel? Christianson Answer: There is no law specifically related to steering wheel size. If the mounting of the steering wheel is not secure it could become an “unsafe equipment” violation. Replacing the original steering wheel with one without an airbag would also be unsafe because vehicle airbags are designed to work with the installed seatbelts to keep all the occupants safe in the event of a crash or rollover. Steering wheel knobs are not 2x2, 2x4 & 2x8 ads illegal in Minnesota. This is a

approved with thanks for his 20 years of service. Commissioner Duane Bakke expressed his concern that with Martin’s retirement there will not be anyone at the Resource Center with a solid waste certification. He added there is a lot of unfinished business, referring to the RFP for solid waste transportation and disposal. Martin responded that there has been no sense of urgency with the RFPs. He noted he has been telling people about his plans to retire for awhile. Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, said she can’t do a lot until there is an official notice of resignation. Martin did give the normal 30-day notice. Prestby said they asked for more notice than a month, telling Martin that you are leaving us in an awful position. County Engineer Ron Gregg, before accepting his current position, was a county engineer/solid waste administrator for another county. He said he has let his solid waste certification lapse, but has been checking into it. There myth that has been spread, possibly because the knobs have also been called “suicide knobs.” This negative connotation caused people to assume they were illegal. In fact, steering wheel knobs are sometimes prescribed to people with applicable disabilities to assist them in driving. My concern is that they may interfere with the shuffle style or hand-to-hand type of steering input; causing loss of control or a crash. My recommendation is to never alter or remove the original steering wheel, unless prescribed by a physician to aid the driver in controlling a vehicle due to a disability. 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.
