In this area, we take national heritage as a badge of honor. The Irish, Germans, and Norwegians who settled these bluffs and valleys could still see many of their traditions being held today. In something of a reverse of ancestral path walking, an eager group from Norway recently expounded on the heritage of their family that settled in this area through a multi-day tour. Fifty-five Norwegian visitors from Byneset, Sor-Trondelag, Norway arrived in the states, The husbands of Eloise Hoff and Martha Quanrud, Earl Hoff and Clarence Quanrud will be the via New York, September 11, first veterans to be buried at the Minensota State Veterans Cemetary in Preston on Veterans Day. and after touring the Twin CitPhoto by Jason Sethre ies area, made a three day stop By Jason Sethre Hoff died at the age of 81, followraised their families in Preston. in the Rushford Peterson Val Earl and Eloise raised five chil- ing a lengthy battle with cancer, ley and Houston areas.

two days prior to the group’s arrival to formulate a local itinerary. Additional coordination for the tour was aided by Bill and Patti (Gaustad) Hovertson of Waseca, and Rushford residents Anne Spartz and Susie Olson. The group was divided at times to better accommodate more detailed small group tours. The group ventured for lunch at Norsland Lefse in Rushford upon arriving in the area. While one might think this would lend some comfort of home to the group, the traditions we hold here are vastly different from in Norway. Our curious affinity for lutefisk and lefse is not at all their experience, as they prepare the dishes in an alternate manner. While delighted with the lunch and the gift shop, they were not particularly curious about the mass-production of lefse, according to Peterson. After lunch, the group traveled to the Oak Ridge area, the South Fork Cemeteries, and then stopped in the Choice community to visit and see the creamery. Peterson states the group was very pleased with their stop in Choice, visiting with locals and sharing our traditional Lutheran fare of bars, lemonade, and coffee. Some struck up particularly deeprooted conversations regarding the creamery and farming, according to Peterson. The group returned to Rushford and toured the 1867 Historic Depot, which the group found fascinating. The additional site buildings, including the restored cabin, 1919 jailhouse, and 1890 Grinde Schoolhouse were also a hit. At one point, all those visSee Norwegian Page 12 

Bid award for R-P School draws large crowd, further debate By Kirsten Zoellner As expected, the Monday, September 28 special meeting of the RushfordPeterson School Board drew in more than 60 residents, including a dozen children with their parents. The meeting was set to review bids for the construction of the new early childhood through grade 12 facility and award the contract. Following call to order and roll call, Board Director Taylor Peterson asked if a time for public comment could be added to the agenda. Superintendent Chuck Ehler advised the board that while not traditionally done in the past at special meetings, the board was within its rights to do so. While allowable, Ehler added the stipulation that all comments be in reference to the bid award or bid process. The motion was seconded, but was defeated in a roll call vote 4:3 with Directors Peterson, Dean Mierau, and Jon Pettit opposed. Board Directors Joyce Iverson and Mierau joined the meeting via Skype and Mierau also joined by speakerphone at one point. There were ongoing communication issues during the meeting. As the meeting agenda was adopted resident Jon Peterson, a vocal opponent of the new school initiative, spoke out. “You don’t want to listen to nobody,” said Peterson. “You’ve been given four questions for the last month and a half and you haven’t answered any of them. You owe it to the people of this district to answer [sic] them questions.” Chairman John Linder responded that it was a public meeting, not forum. “[expletive] You’re ramming this stuff down our throats now you tell us. Answer the questions,” stated Peterson. A verbal scuffle then broke out between Peterson and resident Matt Helgemoe with residents Andy Prinsen and Stan Gudmundson chiming in, while Linder attempted to bring the meeting under control. The heated back and forth debate continued for several minutes. Director Taylor Peterson then asked to speak. Director Val Howe interjected, citing the first star of

the five stars of the elementary; respect. “You’ve got questions that haven’t been answered from day one,” said Director Peterson. “You won’t answer them. You’re scared to answer them.” “There are answers that are not being accepted as well, Taylor,” added Board Director Julie Koop. The adoption of the agenda continued and the meeting moved to review of the bids. Six bids were received for the project. Bidders were: Benike Construction (of Rochester), Fowler & Hammer Inc. (La Crosse, Wis.), Knutson Construction Services (Rochester), Market Johnson, Inc. (La Crosse, Wis.), Shaw Lundquist Associates, Inc. (Eagan), and Wieser Brothers (LaCrescent). Base bids varied from $31,950,000 to $35,570,136. There are 14 bid alternates included in the bid package. Alternates included Grimsrud Way improvements, the east playground retaining wall, face brick on precast wall panels, porcelain wall tile on the student corridor walls, floor finish in either epoxy or porcelain tile, telescoping bleachers in the elementary gym, anchored wood athletic floors in both the elementary and high school gym, ground concrete masonry or painted block, ceramic wall tile in student restrooms and the food service area, stone or face brick on the exterior, lecture room seating in the forum room, food service equipment, and LED or fluorescent pendant light fixtures. Utilizing alternates will help determine detail work while keeping the project within budget. Totals with accepted alternates ranged from $33,406,770 to $37,117,705. Addendums had been added to the August 12 final site plan and were reflected in contract bids, according to Superintendent Ehler. Board Director Mierau made reference to a question he’d asked at the September 21 board meeting regarding site plan. At that time, he questioned which site plan was used in the bidding process to ensure an accurate bid, as changes had been made to the final August 12 plan to accommodate an easement issue. Mierau had stated that

the school board should be included in the process of making changes to the site plan. “I want to know why the board wasn’t in the loop on that,” asked Mierau. “Did the board get to approve or see that?” “You did not,” answered Ehler. “That was work done by ATS&R and ICS Consulting, our owner’s representative. They put those numbers together to ensure that the items that we were bidding and the price that we needed to ensure that we came in within bid price. They utilized those addendums items to make sure we could meet the bid. As a result of the bid, they were able to add those alternates back in. It is, for us, a very positive thing for the school district. The addendums were used as a way and means to make sure we came in within budget.” “I’m not so much questioning the price. It’s more the process and why we weren’t in the loop as a board” responded Mierau. “If the city grants approval on a site plan and you change that plan, should it not go back to the city?” Ehler noted the practice is standard and that no changes were made to the site plan. “You’ve told me there’s no structures on the easement, which tells me there’s a change to the site plan,” said Mierau. “That was done to clear up that easement. That was not done to change anything else,” added Linder. As discussion continued, it was clear that while Ehler was referencing addendums to the alternate bid items, Mierau was referencing the changes in the bid due to ongoing legal issue with a 66-foot easement owned by Glen and Denise Palecek that have resulted in removal of some items from the site plan, including a hydrant, tree, and concrete sign footings. Board Director Joyce Iverson noted that removal of obstructions was agreed to at the September 21 board meeting. Linder agreed that it was. “That’s what we’ve ensured the landowner, that there will not be any obstructions.” “They were not removed,” stated Glen Palecek from the audience. The Paleceks

presented the board with a letter, two highlighted site plan maps, and a statement of items, dated September 25 and utilizing a September 17 site plan L3.1. They believe the site plan infringes upon their legal rights and have begun proceedings for a lawsuit against the school. There is surmountable curb and gutter and drainage on the plan according to Linder. Whether or not this and other items, such as bituminous pavement, air driven signs, and concrete barrier curb and gutter are an obstruction to access remains to be determined. “I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t want to be sued by a lawyer,” noted Mierau, “That’s where this is going.” “That has no effect on what we’re doing here tonight,” responded Linder. The district is required by law to accept the lowest bid. The bid was

awarded to Weiser Brothers in a 4:2:1 vote with Directors Peterson and Pettit opposed and Director Mireau abstaining. A ground breaking ceremony will be held Wednesday, October 14, at 1:30 p.m. The ceremony will begin at Niggle Field and then move to the new school site.

Correction In the Monday, September 28, 2015 issue of the Fillmore County Journal it was stated in the article “Lawsuit started against R-P School District” that the meeting for redeveloping the Peterson Middle School is October 12 at 7 p.m. It is actually on October 5 at 7 p.m. in the lunchroom. We apologize for the error.

as the Mayor of Preston at one time, became the driving force behind the decision that led for them to be the first veterans to be buried at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Preston. On Wednesday, November 11, 2015, which is Veterans Day, these two veterans from Preston, both former mayors, will be honored as the first of nearly 100,000 veterans to be laid to rest at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery. According to David Swantek, Director of the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Little Falls and Preston, the ceremony on Veterans Day will be a committal service at the Committal Shelter, which is suitable for a crowd of 60 people. Eloise and Martha both have large families, and they have had friends say that they would like to attend this event to pay their respects, so the crowd is anticipated to far exceed 60 attendees. And, during this important day,

there will be Veterans Day ceremonies at both Fillmore Central locations in Harmony and Preston. Eloise and Martha said they have been in discussions with Ron Scheevel, the commander overseeing the ceremonies at the schools. With a very busy day in Preston, the time of the ceremonies at the schools and the new cemetery are still under discussion. In addition, the pastor for the committal service needs to be determined. Another thing that Eloise and Martha have in common is that they both attend the same church, Christ Lutheran Church of Preston, so the pastoral selection process should be pretty easy. The new pastor, Dan Bredberg, will have an opportunity to be a part of this special service. For Eloise and Martha, alongside their families and friends, this will be an important day in the history books of Preston. This dedication to Earl Hoff and Clarence Quanrud will mean that the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery has come to fruition, and on the most appropriate day -- Veterans Day.

C ommentary America’s growing pains By Karen Reisner Cultural and demographic shifts are an American reality. We have been and continue to be a nation of immigrants. The influx of non European immigrants over the years has made the face of America more diverse. Social evolution has lead to the legalization of gay marriage and gays serving openly in the military. Some people are very disturbed and Karen Reisner angered by these shifts. The United States Census Bureau reports that by 2045, out of an estimated population of 390 million, less than half of the people will identify themselves as “white”. People from all over the world have made their way to America to build a better life and to enjoy basic freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, including the right to practice their religion. Immigrants bring with them their customs and beliefs.

Immigrants can be a positive force for America. Most are assimilated in one or two generations. Some of the Republican 2016 presidential candidates have tapped into a portion of their party that is angry and fear these demographic and cultural shifts. These people don’t recognize the America of their youth. You might hear someone say something about the good old days, referring to the 1950s. This was before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a military draft was still in place, it was before implementation of early childhood education laws, it was before women’s liberation, and before Roe v. Wade. Most of us would recognize these as positive changes moving America forward, with the exception of Roe v. Wade, which still divides the country today as it did over four decades ago. Presidential elections always hit on the controversial cultural and social issues. This time there is a loss of civility. I believe America is already great; however, we always want to work to make it better. Immigrants flock to this country to enjoy what we have, advantages that we take for granted and simply don’t appreciate. If we

One Moment, Please...

electrical, and metals) and home economics (cooking and sewing) have fallen off the curriculum in most school districts. Have these skills become less important? I recall all of the aforementioned as a part of my public education. And, then I recall when I took my first keyboarding class in 10th grade. I remember thinking I wish I would have learned this earlier in life. Hunting and pecking while looking down at the keyboard took forever, and finding the rhythm of

allow ourselves to be drawn in by hate talk and out right mean talk, then America is little by little less great. Illegal immigration is a problem. Building a bigger and better fence to keep immigrants out is not the answer. We need House members to do their job and pass immigration reform. The Senate passed comprehensive bi-partisan immigration reform in 2013. We tend to be afraid of what we don’t know or understand. There are people with big megaphones that prey on these fears and some of them are running for president. The tone and temperament of some of the candidates is worrisome. The world is in turmoil and the divisions in our country are growing. A good president needs to be able to keep his or her mouth shut long enough to listen and think things through before spouting off. Unfortunately, pragmatic and reasonable sounding candidates don’t seem to be drawing support, at this point. The Pope displayed modesty, humility, and compassion. These traits could also be useful in our next president. I am looking for a practical candidate who offers a reasonable, policy driven, and achievable agenda. An agenda that can lead to a better life

for Americans and provide adequate security for all of us. This person has to be schooled on and understand both domestic and foreign issues and have a willingness to listen to the advice of others, before making the best decision for the country. I believe that anyone who claims to know it all, in reality usually knows very little. Speaker’s resignation House Speaker John Boehner resigned because of a fractured Republican caucus. I admit I did not agree with him on several issues, but I respected him and his position. His job, working with a number of hard line conservatives that are totally unwilling to compromise even a little, had to be impossible. Congressman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said on a morning news show, “You got to work across the aisle, across divides when you have divided government.” The far right wing made up of 30 to 40 House members is unrealistic and rigid, insisting things have to be done their way, even when it is obvious that their way is not going to get through the Senate or be signed into law by President Obama. They drive the dysfunction in Congress. Most of us are frustrated with the dysfunction in Washington. This is one

thing we seem to agree on whether we are liberal, moderate, or conservative. Our forefathers created a system where compromise is a necessary ingredient of governing. These far right House members came to Washington to obstruct, not to govern. I understand that people have different belief systems and in a democracy that is healthy. Putting all those views forward to achieve reform and to solve problems is part of the process. But in the end, initiatives have to move forward to keep government functioning efficiently and for that to happen, compromise is necessary. There can be no results benefiting the American people without give and take. Boehner has signaled that he wants to get as much cleaned up as possible before he leaves at the end of October. Congress needs to pass a continuous resolution-spending bill to keep the government open and running, raise the debt ceiling, and pass an infrastructure-highway bill, to name a few. They need to govern, which is their job. Hopefully, during the last weeks of Boehner’s speakership he will feel free to bring bills to the floor for a vote of the full House, making the House a functioning body, if only for a short time.

“asdf” and “jkl;” made my book report production so much more fluid. Today, I can type faster than I can write by hand. In our schools today, children are taking keyboarding classes as young as second grade. The other day, as I was traveling and listening to Minnesota Public Radio (as I often do), I heard the announcement to be made by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio that the city’s public schools will be required to offer computer science classes to all students within the next 10 years. Immediately, I was thinking of what sort of advantage those kids will have if other school districts throughout the nation don’t adopt

a policy change in that direction. If we want to be competitive on a global scale, we need to continuously raise the bar in science and technology sectors. So, as the art of calligraphy dries up, shop classes become computer labs, and home economics classrooms become the teachers’ lounge, it does beg a number of other questions in my mind. As we shift all of our attention to computer-focused education, how will people be exposed and inspired to the trades? Historically, a student would be required to take at least one class in which they learned about electrical systems, woodworking, metals, sewing, and cooking. In the future, just like today, somebody will need to build houses. Somebody will need to take in the seam on a wedding dress. Will there be fewer people drawn to those industries because our public education system doesn’t expose kids to those opportunities? I don’t know. I would think so, but I’m sure parental and other outside influences will shape those outcomes. While I think we absolutely need to pursue opportunities revolving around computer science for our youth in order to

keep up with the global economy, I also cannot help but wonder what will happen with the skills we are not including in our curriculum.

C ommentary Voting without fear By Peggy Hanson “Why on earth would we ever consider electing a person of Muslim faith to be the leader of our country?” This is the question posed by Jason Sethre in his opinion column Peggy in the Sept. Hanson 28, 2015 issue of the Fillmore County Journal. I would like to attempt to answer that question. I can think of six reasons why Americans might some day elect a Muslim president. Americans might elect a Muslim for the same reason that the people of the Fifth Congressional District of Minn. have elected Keith Ellison, a Muslim and African American and Democrat, to be their congressman since 2007. I presume that the voters in that district continue to find Rep.

Ellison to be an intelligent person of good character who exercises good judgment on complex matters affecting our country. I believe they find him to be a person who is working hard to enact policies and laws that will improve the lives of ordinary working people and keep our country safe and strong. Americans might vote for a Muslim for the same reason that they elected an African American Christian, Barack Obama. I think a majority of voters believed he would be a good leader and fight for the future best interests of our children and grandchildren rather than for the narrow interests of a small and wealthy elite. Even Fillmore County voters, who are overwhelmingly white and Christian and not all that liberal, overcame racial prejudice to vote for Obama twice. I assume that Obama voters in Fillmore County did not have to overcome religious prejudice, because they are smart enough to know that Obama is a Chris-

tian and not a Muslim. (Note: Obama carried Fillmore County by 52.71% in 2008 and 52.45% in 2012. ) Americans might vote for a Muslim for the same reason that they voted for the first Catholic president, John F. Kennedy – because they thought he had a positive vision for America as a leader of the free world and ideas for how to accomplish that vision and that he would follow the constitutional requirement for the separation of church and state. Electing a Catholic was very controversial in 1960. Some people feared that the Pope would tell John Kennedy what to do. That did not happen. It is good to remember that hate and fear do not always win the day. Americans might vote for a Muslim because they agree with Pope Francis - who has recently made great efforts to enter into a dialogue with leaders of the Muslim religion. The Pope is not demonizing Muslims or lumping them all together as bad guys. To the contrary. He is looking to them to join him in seeking jus-

tice and peace in the world. Pope Francis said this in Philadelphia on Sept. 26 this year: Our various religious traditions serve society primarily by the message they proclaim. They call individuals and communities to worship God, the source of all life, liberty and happiness. ... Our rich religious traditions seek to offer meaning and direction, “they have an enduring power to open new horizons, to stimulate thought, to expand the mind and heart” (Evangelii Gaudium, 256). They call to conversion, reconciliation, concern for the future of society, self-sacrifice in the service of the common good, and compassion for those in need. At the heart of their spiritual mission is the proclamation of the truth and dignity of the human person and human rights.

Reaction to Sethre commentary: A Muslim President Dear Mr. Sethre, I was disturbed to read your commentary regarding the fitness of Muslims for President of the United States in the Sept 28 version of the Fillmore County Journal. I hope that you will Roy Cerling take this as constructive criticism. I found many of your arguments weak and/or misleading, and hereby rebut some of them: Argument: “While not all Muslims want to kill Americans

...” Refutation: This is kind of like saying not all Americans want to kill Muslims. Of course not! But the way the statement is framed might lead susceptible readers to believe that killing Americans may be the goal of a preponderance of Muslims. I truly hope the framing of this argument was an oversight and not your intent, for this is exactly the kind of media statement that can incite discrimination. Argument: “... why is the majority of the world focusing their attention on ISIS?” Refutation: According to “infoplease.com”, of the top world news stories of August and September, the only one referencing ISIS was the destruction of an ancient temple in Palmyra, an ancient and historic city in Syria. The top stories concerned the refugee crisis - but I will grant that ISIS, as one of the participants in the armed conflicts of the Middle East, is exacerbating the crisis. Argument: “Last I heard there wasn’t a Christian extremist group raping and murdering people ...” Refutation: You forget about the “Lords Resistance Army” and Joseph Kony of central Africa. Not as current as ISIS perhaps,

but exceedingly vivid in the minds of the victims. Argument: “... in 1959 could someone from Japan have been elected president ...” Refutation: Then, as now, only a US “natural born” citizen can be elected president. So of course someone from Japan could not be elected. Argument: “... would Middle Easterners accept a Christian as their leader ... I think the answer would be no” Refutation: By the constitution of Lebanon, the president must be a Maronite Christian. Argument: “... they want to kill Americans, and specifically Christians...” Refutation: By a very wide margin, most of the people dying are Muslims. Argument: “why on earth would we ever consider electing a person of the Muslim faith to be president?” Refutation: We have freedom of (or from) religion in this country. Why on earth would we elect someone on the basis of religious affiliation? The fact that someone is Christian or Muslim or Buddhist or Atheist has absolutely no correlation with competence as a leader. Domestic shorthair/mix Male • Cat • Medium

An underlying theme of this essay seemed to emphasize Christianity vs Islam. We all know that religion has often served as a convenient excuse for discrimination against “the other”. I hope that the publisher is not using religion as a defense against “the other”. After all, that would not be the Christian thing to do ... Finally, when I read your commentary last night, I immediately thought of this quote from the German theologian Martin Niemoller: When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn’t a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. Sincerely, Roy Cerling

from 16.1% to 22.8%. The number of Americans who belong to non-Christian faiths went from 4.7% to 5.9%. However, there are still very few Muslims in the U.S. - only .9% in 2014. Source: Pew Research Center) Finally, Americans might vote for a Muslim because they have gotten to know a Muslim or two and think that most Muslims like most Christians or even atheists – are good human beings. My father, who is currently living in an assisted living facility in Rochester, is cared for by a variety of aides. One of them is a Somali Muslim woman who does a great job helping my Dad bathe, get dressed, and use the bathroom. She works hard and is also going to school and raising five children with the help of her mother and husband. Maybe some day one of those children might run for President. I would consider myself lucky to live long enough to be able to vote for an American Muslim president – as long as that person will uphold the American system of rule of law and is a Democrat! Letter about...Please To the Editor, Please...let’s balance the books if we’re going to continue talking about “taking”. Yes, banning frac sand mining “takes” away a landowner’s right to engage in that specific activity. But, allowing frac sand mining is a de facto determination that land has the same dispensability as a firecracker. It may be saved or destroyed at the sole discretion of its owner. This begs the questions: Is a mandated saving of one’s property from oneself taking or giving? Debit or credit? Sustainable land use practices benefit the here and now as well as the yet to come, the communities of today as well as the communities of tomorrow, and of course, every species living thereon. Those who would trade their good earth for frac sand cash would compromise the quality of all of our lives, the futures of all our children, and the life of the land entrusted to their care. Their “taking” from all that surround them would just keep compounding. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Kent Holen Houston, Minn.

Stalk rot could hinder corn harvest By Michael Cruse Extension Educator for Fillmore and Houston Counties While the latest crop reports point to the potential for an excellent corn harvest, stalk rot is becoming an ever increasing concern. When stalk rot occurs, the internal material of the stalk degrades to a point where multiple plant functions are negatively affected, including stability. At its most severe, stalk rot can completely hollow a stalk, greatly increasing the risk for severe lodging issues. Both environmental conditions (e.g. insect damage and extreme soil moisture conditions) and management decisions (e.g. using planting populations that

are too high or using susceptible cropping sequences) can lead to stalk rot. As ears mature and fill, they can tap into the stalk’s supply of carbohydrates, creating top heavy plants with weak supporting structures. The primary concern at this time of year for plants with stalk rot is lodging. Lodged crops are difficult to harvest leading to reductions in yields, damage to equipment and economic losses. When the potential of stalk rot exist, some quick field scouting can go a long way to prevent fall harvest losses. Jeff Coulter, University of Minnesota Extension Corn Specialist, suggest that stalk rot scouting be done using three methods: pushing, pinching and

dissecting. The push test is done by pushing the stalk at ear level, about 8-10 inches from the vertical. If stalk rot is present, the stalk will break easily. If pinched at the first internode above the brace roots, a plant with stalk rot will collapse relatively easily. By cutting into a stalk with stalk rot you can directly see the deterioration of internal structures. While new corn varieties may have the ability to counter this deterioration through different mechanisms, all corn plants are susceptible to stalk rot to some degree. As always, whenever you are scouting a field, be sure to test multiple areas that represent the average conditions for a given field. If you suspect stalk rot is

Board of adjustment, planning commission By Karen Reisner Solberg sand pit expansion The Fillmore County Planning Commission recommended approval of the Solberg Sand Pit Expansion at their September 24 meeting. Two public hearings were held related to the proposed sand pit expansion, the first by the Board of Adjustment on a variance request. Because Donald and Dean Solberg requested a new conditional use permit for the expansion of their sand pit in Preston Township, they also had to get approval for a variance. The ordinance requires a 1,000 foot setback from a dwelling, Section 604.05(10). The sand pit is about 400 feet from the nearest dwelling owned by John and Pat Torgrimson.

No township officials commented on the 600 foot variance request. John Torgrimson noted he and his wife live just south of the Solbergs. He said the Solbergs have done an exemplary job operating the sand pit over the last 20 years, adding he and his wife fully support the expansion and the variance. He did suggest two conditions be added to the CUP just in case there was a different operator in the future who is less considerate. Interim zoning administrator Cristal Adkins explained the proposed expansion will not make the sand pit any closer to the Torgrimson home than it currently is. The 600 foot variance was approved. During a public hearing for the CUP for the expansion, there was

no comment from township officials. Dean Solberg said they wanted to expand about 250 feet on one end and 232 feet on the other end. Torgrimson suggested two conditions be added to the CUP, including the maintenance of the hillside with trees on the south side of the sand pit and a requirement that there be no blasting. The sand is being removed by excavators and dozers. The commission recommended that the CUP application for the expansion move on to the county board for their consideration with the conditions that a berm be maintained on the south side of the pit and no blasting be allowed. Zoning Ordinance Amendment, Section 904.05 (expansion of existing building sites) A public hearing was held on proposed additional language under Point 9, 604.05 Performance Standards. “An existing building site may be expanded to construct a dwelling, or add an additional dwelling, as long as the expansion is no more than 200 feet from the existing building site at the farthest point of the new dwelling, as determined” by Fillmore County. Under Point 10 regarding the 1,000 foot setback requirement of a dwelling from the surveyed boundaries of a rock quarry, the words “or sand pit” is proposed to be added. No comments were made from the public on the language additions.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week. a concern for a given field, it is strongly recommended you consider harvesting that field early before a high wind event can cause lodging. Even harvesting at slightly higher moisture contents than you prefer may be worth it to prevent lodging losses. If lodging does occur, be sure to take extra time while harvesting. Reduce your ground speed and be prepared to do a lot of manual adjustments to the corn head. If lodging is really bad, going against the grain, i.e. the way the corn is laying, can help lift plants back up. Adjust combines so they can handle picking up extra debris, which will inevitably occur. In the worst cases, additional corn head attachments can be used to help pick up lodged plants.

Above all, be safe. Ears of corn can get lodged in the funniest places on corn heads, especially when there is lodging. Shut all gathering chains and other mechanisms off when dislodging those ears. The extra time required to harvest lodged corn can also become aggravating, especially as the hours get later in the day. Do not forget to take breaks and try to relax out there. After harvest is done, analyze the reasons why you had stalk rot and lodging. Maybe an easy shift in hybrids is all you need to prevent this from happening next year. For more information on corn production, please visit the University of Minnesota Extension corn production website at www. extension.umn.edu.

The commission recommended the proposed amendments be sent on to the county board for their consideration. Retreat center Proposed language to make the addition of a retreat center as a conditional use in the Ag District was again discussed. A retreat center would be defined as a semi-public use, using natural features, and providing housing for short term stays. One area of discussion was the number of acres that should be required. Todd Juzwiak, Dream Acres near Wykoff, added his thoughts as to how some of the proposed language could apply to their organic farm located

on County Road 8 that provides for short term stays and a seasonal worker. Proposed language states that communal housing is not to be used for permanent full-time housing. Questions were raised about road parking. Dream Acres has a Department of Health certified kitchen for serving guests, counselors, and staff. There was significant discussion on what constitutes a restaurant which is open to the public. Pizza is served to the public on Friday nights at Dream Acres. The commission directed Adkins to look at Retreat Center ordinance language in other counties before the next meeting.

Highlights of Wednesday morning included a tour of the Highum farm and a visit to Highland Prairie Church, chapel, and cemetery, with lunch graciously provided by the Highland Prairie Church women.

The connections the group was longing for were made and they were quite impressed with the area. However, Peterson acknowledges the biggest issue of the tour was the communication barrier. While Norway now begins teaching all students English in grade 1, most of those on the bus had limited English-speaking skills. Luckily, there was at least one English-speaking tourist with each section of the group. “We felt like we planned a lot, but it seemed appropriate. It was go-go and some downtime,” adds Peterson. Many of the visitors explored the various towns in the downtime. “We learned so much,” enthuses Peterson, whose greatgreat grandfather was John Rye. “It was so informative. We hope they come back again.”

Special start to Sunday school year for Henrytown kids A new year of Sunday school means a new way of doing things for the children of Henrytown. It’s the first time classes are being held since the ELCA congregation lost its church building to fire in April. However, two nearby Lutheran churches are helping make the transition easier. Over the summer, Vacation Bible School (VBS) students at Fountain Lutheran Church and Root Prairie Lutheran Church collected school supplies for Henrytown’s Sunday School. In addition to pencils, paper, crayons, markers, glue and scissors, the two Fountain area congregations also raised money for other Sunday school needs. The donations were personally delivered during Henrytown’s “Rally Sunday” on Sept. 20. Rachel Glende, representing Root Prairie, and Jill Himli, along with her 5-year-old son,

Red Cross asks for most needed blood types

During Liver Awareness Month this October, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood and platelets to support liver transplant patients and others needing blood products. Liver transplants are the second most common type of transplant with more than 6,000 performed in the U.S. each year, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver transplant patients may require in excess of 30 pints of blood during surgery. For blood donor Amy Slattery, the need for blood hits close to home. Her mother received a liver transplant and needed more than 70 blood products during the surgery. “I donate to help others that needed blood like her,” said Slattery. “I donate in thanks to those who donate their blood products to help save lives.” Volunteer donors like Slattery are the only source of blood for those in need of transfusions dur-

ing transplants and other surgeries. Donors with all blood types are needed, and especially those with types O negative, A negative, B negative and AB blood. Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Caledonia: October 13, 2015, 12:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m., Four Seasons Community Center, 900 N. Kingston St. Spring Grove: October 13, 2015, 1 p.m. - 7 p.m., Fest Building, 110 N. Division. Mabel: October 14, 2015, 1 p.m. - 7 p.m., American Legion, 114 N. Main St. How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende Chatfield volleyball’s first three conference wins were all difficult (3-1, 3-2, 3-2). Courtesy of much easier sweeps over D-E, C o t t e r, and Southland, the The Trende Report Gophers are now 6-0 in the TRC. Versus the Eagles, Chatfield won set one 25-7. In game Paul Trende two (won 25-21), they then got five kills each from Brooke Adler and Sheridan Salisbury, 15 set assists from Maddie Muller. Game three went 25-19. Top senior hitters Salisbury (12 kills on 23 attacks, 8 digs, 4 aces) and Adler (12 kills) accounted for two-thirds of the Gophers’ spikes. Muller (27 assists, 8 digs, 9-9 serving,) and Megan LaPlante (9 digs, 10-10 serve receive) helped out. The Gophers then tussled with a game Cotter. Adler hammered down seven kills in game one. Chatfield used a 7-0 run late (14-14 to 21-14) to turn the tide (won 25-18). Adler was again a force in game two (eight kills). Two of those spikes, and a pair of Salisbury aces, turned the tide (19-19 to 23-19) for a 25-23 win. The set saw 12 ties. Game three then fell 25-14. Seniors Adler (20 kills, 2 blocks) and Salisbury (6 kills, 22 digs, 4 aces) again led the way. Muller (24 assists) ran the offense. Danielle Kramer (16 digs, 3 aces) and LaPlante (11 digs) were busy defensively. Chatfield then got a hard-fought (27-25, 26-24, 25-21) sweep of Southland. Salisbury (11 kills, 22 digs, 3 aces) was again a statsheet stuffer. Adler had 12 kills, Muller (30 assists, 17-17 serving, 13 digs) a well-rounded game. With the win, the Gophers are tied atop the TRC (6-0, 10-7) with W-K (6-0, 15-4) just ahead of St. Charles (5-1, 9-3) and Caledonia (4-1, 9-6).

Burro Volleyball Wins at LeRoy

It wasn’t that long ago Lanesboro volleyball could barely find a win. In 2012, when the current seniors were freshman, the Burros went 1-17. Chris Knutson, who guided the team to a state appearance in 1999, then took over (again). It’s been improvement ever since. Where Lanesboro’s 2015 season (amidst the ultra-tough 1A East subsection) ends up is unknown. But for one day, at the LeRoyOstrander tourney, it was only wins. The Burros were the best. Lanesboro got 7 kills each out of Rachel Kimball and Cassidy Ruud, 13 digs out of Rachel Eversole, to beat GM (25-21, 25-21). Joelie Schreiber (10

kills), Ruud (9 kills, 6 blocks), and Kimball (8 kills, 20 digs) led a balanced offensive attack over Alden-Conger (25-23, 20-25, 15-13). Kimball had 12 kills as the Burros beat Schaeffer Academy (25-15, 25-21). In the finals, versus Winona-Cotter, Lanesboro battled very hard (3129, 24-26, 15-11) to victory. Lexi Melander had 32 assists, Schreiber 10 kills, 8 blocks, Kimball 7 kills, 9 digs, and Ruud 15 digs. The 4-0 showing left Lanesboro with a 9-3 record on the year (5-3 in the SEC). They’ve already matched last year’s win total. The win over a TRC foe (Cotter) was their first since 2010 (unofficially 14 matches). They’ve now won five straight and seven of eight. A Burro five-match streak hasn’t happened since 2009.

Silver Suffices for M-C

The Class A Showcase in Burnsville has always been a premier gathering of the best small school volleyball programs in the state. In past years, FC, M-C, and R-P have competed. The perennial entrant from the county has been Lonnie Morken’s Cougars. Competing in their fourth straight Showcase, the #3 Cougars again volleyed with the best. M-C started off with pool matches versus Henning, Wabasso, and Waterville-Elysian-Morristown. They beat Henning (11-2) 2-0 (2519, 25-13). They won game one versus Wabasso (10-2) 25-23, but fell in game two (15-25) and thus the match. The same story (win 25-23, lose 18-25, lose the match) played out against #6 in Class A W-E-M (14-1). Moving to the Silver Bracket wasn’t the Cougar’s goal. They’d made Gold the last three years. But they made the most of it, going 3-0, beating Sebeka (25-22, 20-25, 15-11), Verndale (2517, 25-22), and Henning again (25-13, 25-15). They went 4-2 overall and placed 7th. Of the 12 teams, the Cougars were one of only two without a player 5’10”, one of only two with less than six combined juniors and seniors. The other, #2 in Class A Tracy-Milroy-Balatan, won the Gold title over W-EM. Savannah Slafter (61 kills, 47 digs) was team leader in kills every match. Coranda Vickerman (21 kills, 126 assists, 54 digs, 51-53 serving, 8 aces) was very busy. Dakota Delaney (33 kills), Lexi Thorson (16 kills, 27 digs, 46-49 serving), Payton Danielson (32 digs, 41-43 serving, 7 aces), and Emma Wathier (33 digs, 28-29 serving) were big assistors. M-C (now #7) is 19-2 (8-0 atop the SEC-East).

LFC Girls Make It Three of Four

Lanesboro/Fillmore Central girls’ cross country has competed in four invites. They’ve now won three of them. The galloping Burros put six runners in

the top 15 to easily win (36) the Pine Island Invite over Z-M/KW (76) and Rochester-Lourdes (84). A week after beating one Eagle team (D-E) that placed ahead of them at the Section meet a year ago, they beat the other (Lourdes). Kiera Olson (20:05.7) finished second to Cannon Falls’ Katherine Hoffman (19:58.6). Emily Snyder took fourth (20:13.2) and Leah Ruen sixth (20:16.2) amidst a top seven that finished 21 seconds apart. Bailey Ruen (11th), Maddie Smith (13th), and Ashley Minor (15th) rounded out the top Burro runners (field of 80). Kingsland (6th), Chatfield (7th), and LARP (8th) also competed (of 9 teams). Bailey O’Hare (14th) paced LARP, Marina Schwanke (16th) the Knights. LARP’s boys finished 5th, LFC 6th, Chatfield 8th, and Kingsland 9th. Dylan Linder (4th) and Hunter Herber (6th) each finished top 10 for LARP. Nathan Eversole (13th), Casey Olson (15th), and Nathaniel Harrison (16th) finished top 20 for LFC. Andrew Gathje finished 20th for Chatfield.

Fossum and Gophers Nip Cougars

One point is all that separated Chatfield and ZumbrotaMazeppa on the gridiron. Gopher kicker Spencer Mandt’s late second quarter PAT, the game’s only conversion, sent Chatfield to a 25-24 win. The Gophers spotted Z-M a 6-0 lead. A Carter Duxbury 6-yard score late in the second half (which preceded Mandt’s PAT) sent the Gophers to half up 19-12. A 33-yard Dillon Bance to Parker Fossum connection, put the Gophers up 25-12 in the third. Z-M answered with an Isaiah Steuber to Zach Sanborn 6-yard scoring pass (25-18). They then got a Jacob Bennett 1-yard TD run with 5:05 left in the fourth (25-24). Alex Pagel sacked Steuber on the go-ahead two-point try. Chatfield took over. A 9-yard Bance to Fossum connection on 4th and nine secured the victory. Fossum was everywhere (4-116, 2 TDs receiving; 15-62, TD rushing). Bance (6-12, 178 yards, 2 TDs passing) and Duxbury (14-98, TD rushing) helped out. Steuber (12-19, 139 yards, TD passing), Sanborn (5-86, TD receiving), and Bennett (10-49, TD rushing; 90-yard KOR TD) led the Cougars. The game featured 33 first downs. Chatfield twice fumbled inside the Z-M tenyard line. The Gophers (4-1, 4-2) are part of a three way tie with Triton (4-1, 5-1) and Dover-Eyota (4-1, 4-2) behind #1 Caledonia (5-0, 6-0) in the South-East White.

Carlson Rips 266 and Three, R-P 3-3

Big plays, most of them by Rushford-Peterson’s Noah Carl-

son, highlighted the Trojans match-up with Southland. The ultra-fast junior had touchdown runs of 80, on R-P’s first offensive play, 43, and 70 yards. He finished with the huge 21-carry, 266-yard rushing night. But it was a play by Lukas Rasmussen that may have been R-P’s biggest. After Southland pulled ahead 14-13 early in the fourth, Rasmussen returned the ensuing kick-off 75-yards for a score. With 2-point conversion, it put R-P back in the lead at 21-14. Carlson then had his 70-yard run, putting Southland up against it. The Trojans got the win 27-14. They accumulated 284 of their 304 yards on the ground. Southland got 223 of their 257 thru the air. James Landherr was 23 of 38 for 225 yards. Colton Mandt and Jared Landherr had rushing TD’s. The later Landher (7-77) was one of four Rebel receivers with threeplus catches and 45-plus yards. R-P improves to 3-3 overall, 3-2 in the Mid-Southeast East (MSE) sub-district.

Hot Shots

Sophomore Brady Ristau had a pair of rushing TD’s as Fillmore Central downed Kingsland 34-14. The Falcons (4-1, 5-1) are tied with Goodhue (4-1, 5-1) behind L-A (5-0, 6-0) atop the MSE. Sophomore Brady Happel had 184 yards rushing and 5 TD’s as Houston football inundated West Lutheran 64-8. The Hurricanes are 4-2. Steven Rein and Collin Scott combined for five rushing TDs as Lanesboro trampled and re-trampled Lyle/ Pacelli 88-32. The Burros, 3 and 3 and on three game win streak, have averaged almost 72 points per game versus L/P over their last four meetings. M-C volleyball treaded through Lanesboro in straight sets. Coranda Vickerman had 28 assists, 14 digs,

Rushford reviews renewable energy systems ordinance, city hall move By Kirsten Zoellner A public hearing was held September 28 during the regular Rushford City Council meeting in regards to an amendment to the Rushford Zoning Ordinance. The proposed new chapter will address renewable energy systems with the intent to encourage systems that have a positive impact in energy conservation yet limit the adverse impact on the community. The new chapter covers geothermal and solar energy only. A separate chapter to address wind energy systems will be brought forward at a later date. Only one member of the public spoke during the public comment portion. Lee Peterson was in support of the addition, currently utilizing an 8.2 kilowatt system, which generates 10 megawatts per year, that provides nearly all energy needs for a fish hatchery. Peterson’s only concern was the connection fee to Tri-County. “If it could be reduced in any way, it would dramatically increase people’s ability to generate renewable

energy,” said Peterson. The draft chapter covers definitions, geothermal and solar systems, prohibitive characteristics, permits required for alternative energy, conditional use permits, interpretations, penalties, and a severability and savings clause. City Administrator Steve Sarvi noted the city only passes along costs incurred, rather than imposing any additional costs to alternative energy property owners. The state legislature is considering a per kilowatt wheelage fee that will be charged back to the individual selling back power to the grid. Physical size of the solar systems is limited to 200 square feet per parcel or not more than 25%, whichever is less. Output size will be determined by policy. Tri-County Electric and Star Engineering will determine that size and will be directing and managing alternative system interconnection for the city. The amendments to the Zoning Ordinance were approved unanimously. The city council also unan-

imously approved setting the preliminary levy at $790,000, a $50,000 or 6.7% increase from 2015. The increase represents a 7% increase for debt service, but a negative 1.01% decrease in operational cost. The budget subcommittee had initially looked at $802,000, but felt the $790,000 was achievable. The city has held the levy at a 0% increase for a remarkable six years. The city won’t know how the increase affects local taxes until later this fall when tax capacity numbers are in from the county. In previous years, when tax capacity has risen, the local taxes have be able to absorb the increase, seeing either no change or, in some instances, a decrease, according to City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Zacher. With several large infrastructure projects completed since the 2007 flood, the city has been able to stay under its set debt per capita rate, but has “brushed up against it,” according to Sarvi.

Becky’s Food Tales By Becky Hoff

Brown Sauce- You Don’t Know What You’re Missing Brown sauce? What is Becky talking about today? The name doesn’t sound all that appealing, but it’s pretty heavenly stuff. If you haven’t heard of it before, brown sauce is a popular British condiment, far more popular than ketchup in parts of the United Kingdom. One could describe it as a fruity, savory ketchup without the tomatoes, bearing some resemblance to steak sauce. While this description doesn’t quite do it justice, you get the general picture. With my motherin-law hailing from the UK, my husband grew up using this tangy, vinegary sauce

on just about everything. A bottle of HP’s brown sauce was always on hand for flavoring eggs, meats, sandwiches, gravies- you name it. His family would stock up on brown sauce whenever they had a chance, and were pleased when larger supermarket chains in the US started carrying it. While I at first was skeptical of this not-Minnesotan condiment, I’ve got to admit that a little dab goes really well with roast beef or on a cheese sandwich. My husband is still very much addicted to brown sauce, and we have continued the family tradition of stocking up when we

see it. But the flavor of brown sauce has changed somewhat over the years. Producers have started to use more corn syrup and cheap filler ingredients, and the overall flavor is not quite as good as it used to be. When the local supermarket near my in-laws stopped carrying brown sauce we decided to take matters into our own hands and make our own. As any good product of my generation would do, we went to the internet in search of the right recipe. A British YouTube cooking show called Steve’s Kitchen seemed to offer a pretty good option. Steve offers a simple recipe with a relatively short ingredient list and not too many fussy steps, so we made a batch last weekend to give it a try. The resulting sauce was tangy, flavorful and very, very good. The flavors will mature and blend together over time, so

• Half pound of pitted prunes, cut in half • 4 granny smith apples- cored and diced, skins on • 1 yellow onion, diced • 13 ounces raw brown sugar • ¼ cup salt • 3 cups malt vinegar • 1 tsp powdered ginger • ½ tsp allspice, ground • ½ tsp cayenne pepper • Fresh ground nutmeg, aprox ¼ tsp Combine all ingredients in a stainless steel kettle and bring to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until fruit is soft. Remove from heat, let cool a little, and spoon into a blender or food processor. Process until very smooth. Return sauce to kettle, simmer gently to slightly reduce and thicken the sauce. (Consistency will be similar to that of commercial ketchup, or perhaps a bit thinner.) Ladle hot sauce into hot sterilized canning jars and cover. Allow jars to cool to room temperature, then store in refrigerator for up to three months.

if you find it too sharp right after cook- in a timely fashion. We will have no such ing, let it sit in the fridge for a week or problem in our household, but we’ll be so before trying it again. Be sure to visit sharing a jar or two with my in-laws. Steve’s Kitchen to watch a British food master in action. The link to the brown sauce instructional video is listed below. h t t p s : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=JmJNLnK7LQo Bear in mind that US and UK canning standards tend to differ, with US instructions erring more on the side of caution. Steve ladles his sauce into old bottles and leaves it on the counter, but US canning standards dictate that this product should be refrigerated. We will be refrigerating ours, and I recommend you do the same. A general rule of thumb for products like this is to date them and use them up within three months. This recipe makes about two quarts, so considering halving the recipe if you aren’t sure you’ll go through that much Grandpa & Grandma Scheevel

FLASHBACK

On September 28, 2015, the Fillmore County Journal turned 31-years-old, publishing Volume 31, Issue 1. We appreciate your support as we celebrated our 1,561st issue. Over the past 52 weeks, we ran a weekly drawing on our newspaper Facebook page. Instead of giving Mark Zuckerberg more money by purchasing online ads on Facebook to promote our 30th anniversary, we decided to keep those dollars in our local economy. We set out to purchase gift cards from businesses in our area, and give them away to readers who "liked" or "shared" our Journal Flashback feature. Every week, for 52 consecutive weeks, we gave away a $30 gift card to a lucky winner, benefiting our readers and the local businesses of this area. In addition, included with our weekly Journal Flashback feature, we gave each of the historical societies in Fillmore County free advertising space on a weekly rotation basis. As we celebrated our history, we wanted to share that opportunity with the organizations in our area that celebrate history every single day. Below is the list of winners who showed their support on our Facebook page over the past year. Thanks to everyone who supports our newspaper every week, both readers and advertisers.

Magnum Sports has hunted down a new location By Barb Jeffers Magnum Sports is luring people to their new location which is more convenient, has a better location and easy access. The business has moved from 105 Hwy 30, behind Dairy Queen in Chatfield, Minn. to a much more visible spot at 21 1st Street in the same building as Main Street Wireless. Manager Brad Stephans worked part-time for Magnum Sports for 2 1/2 years before accepting the fulltime position as manager in March 2015 and states “the location is going to be a lot better” and has “much better access and more of an exposed front” for customers to easily spot. Stephans says they have had a “good, positive response” on the location, with customers saying it is nice to have the business more centrally located in town and another advantage is the large parking lot. The business moved to its new location on July 15, 2015 and they spent a couple weeks setting up the temporary space which will be used until renovation is complete in the rest of the building. They opened in the new location on August 1, 2015. The renovation project is a large one, as Stephans says “it’s going to be a new building from top to bottom” as they have replaced the roof and gutted the interior of the large space in the rear of the building. Stephans says owner Paul Novotny is “doing it right” by adding new windows, a storage area, a counter with plenty of space, retail space, a customer visiting area, bathroom, and a check area for bow service work

Brad Stephans, manager of Magnum Sports in Chatfield, Minn., stands in front of a display of new bows while holding his personal bow. Magnum Sports has moved to a new location in Chatfield, which is more accessible for customers. Photo by Barb Jeffers and set up of newly purchased bows. There will be both an indoor paper target range and a full indoor archery range along with an indoor electronic 3D range when the renovation is done. Stephans says he wants Magnum Sports to be “a local shop where people do not have to go to larger towns” to get service or other sporting needs. There is no “finish date” set for the renovation, as they will take their time to make sure the job is done right, not get the job done so they can open by a certain date. Magnum Sports continues to carry a full line of archery items, including Hoyt and Bowtech bows and accessories such as Easton and Beman arrows.

Last year, Magnum Sports ran youth leagues and got a lot of youths coming in “right down to five and six year olds that were down here shooting on a regular basis” says Stephans. There are also adult leagues 2-3 nights per week minimally and another indoor league that just does darts. Stephans hopes to get more family friendly events started on weekends and more instructional classes for those who are just beginning or those who would just like a few tips. Either way, Stephans says if someone would like some one-to-one instruction he will be happy to help. Stephans just returned from the

Rinehart 100, which is a nationwide traveling tournament where Stephans won the men’s overall bow hunters class out of 264 registered shooters. He also took Hunter Hobbs with him and Hobbs took second place in the North American Challenge and won the African Safari at the two day event, which was held in Iowa. Stephans considers himself “very competitive” at archery, has had success with it, and feels he has something to offer customers with the knowledge and experience he has gained. He is passionate about archery and is happy to share his knowledge and get others involved in the sport. Stop in to Magnum Sports in the near future and see what they have to offer. You may find that perfect bow, lure, or call that you have been looking for. When the building renovation is complete, Magnum Sports will hold an Open House for area residents to come in and see the new areas. Food, prizes, specials, and more will be offered at the open house. The phone number for Magnum Sports is (507) 867-4399. Find out more information on their facebook page under magnumsportsmsx.

SV sets hearing on Lyndale & Fremont repairs By Rich Wicks The Spring Valley city council met in regular session on September 28, with all members in attendance (Tony Archer, Todd Jones, Mayor Jim Struzyk, Bill Bires, Jeff Vehrenkamp, and City Administrator Deb Zimmer). Following the Pledge of Allegiance, a public hearing was held regarding the Madonna Towers Bond. Mike Bubany presented information on the bond, and summarized, “There’s no liability,…Basically, all this is, is a rubber stamp”. No public testimony was given, and the public hearing was closed. The regular city council meeting opened with approval of prior minutes and accounts payable. No visitors were signed up to address the council, so the next order of business was consideration of Pre- and Post-Issuance Compliance Policy & Procedure. This relates to tax-exempt borrowing in accordance with IRS recommendations. After brief discussion, the council approved the Policy & Procedures as submitted. Item #10 was Resolution 2015-33, Resolution Approving the Issuance & Sale of a Healthcare Revenue Note. The council approved this as well. Next, the council discussed the Lyndale Avenue & Fremont Street Feasibility Study, which was submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc. It points out that the condition of the sewer, watermain and infrastructure has deteriorated and needs to be repaired. The study estimates an overall cost of $1.4 million, with an estimated assessment of $97 per foot based on frontage, which would cost the average applicable property owner about $7,900. The council then approved Resolution 2015-34,

Resolution Receiving Report and Calling Hearing on Improvement. The public hearing will be held on October 26 at 6 p.m. in the city council chambers. The council then turned to Resolution 2015-32, Resolution Certifying the 2015 Preliminary Property Tax Levy (collectable in 2016), which lists a total levy of $1,002.015. Deb Zimmer pointed out that, “The actual amount can go down; it can’t go up. We’ll know more toward the end of the year.” The council approved the resolution. Spring Valley Ambulance Service Agreement was next on the agenda. Zimmer stated that the proposed agreement has been reviewed by the city attorney, and he felt it is acceptable and enforceable. The council voted to approve the agreement as submitted. The council next discussed a question of whether the city could provide “incentive pay” for ambulance crew members who are working over 1500 hours in the year. Although this is not budgeted, Mayor Struzyk stated, “I think we need to help out the ones that are really helping us out” and after brief discussion, the council voted to provide such incentive pay. The next item was the Regional Connect Trails Project. Spring Valley received a letter from the project committee, asking the city to consider making a donation toward the project, to help the project qualify for additional grants and matching funds. After discussion, Troy Archer made a motion for the city to provide $2,500 toward the project, contingent on the project receiving the remaining funds needed to go forward. The Turbenson Field sign was

next discussed. Council members heard from John Fenske regarding the new sign that was erected. A bill for $2,500 was submitted to the city, but the city was under the impression that all or most of the cost would be paid by the group advocating for the sign to be put up. Deb Zimmer said there’d been some miscommunication about how the sign would actually be paid for, and said it was never actually approved by the council. Mayor Struzyk asked if possibly fundraising could be done to help cover the cost. The council voted to pay the bill and work on getting the funds reimbursed from the group involved. Jenny Simon shared that the library staff have taken over janitorial duties at the library, as a budget control measure. She also stated that a new smartphone app is available, called BookMyne, and it allows users to check out and renew materials over their phone. Deb Zimmer asked the council to decide whether to accept a $3,000 grant from AgStar Fund’s Emergency Response Equipment Grant Program. The council voted to accept. She also mentioned several upcoming meetings and trainings for council members to consider. Deputy Rasmussen said the new squad car has arrived, and equipment is being installed to get it ready for use. Todd Jones voiced thanks to Brad and Ann for their work at the Tourist Info Center. Mayor Struzyk said he’s been asked to look into requiring the use of paper bags, rather than plastic, at the yard waste dump site. After discussion, the consensus was that this hasn’t been an issue, so no action was taken. The next regular meeting will be October 12 at 6 p.m. The public is welcome.

The preliminary levy also represents a decrease in operational expenses for the library and a deficit for the library fund. Several were in attendance to speak on behalf of the library, including Library Board Chairwoman Heather Larson, Sonja Cook, Steve Hartwick, and Bonnie Gibson. “It will really hurt, but we’re not cutting services,” stated Library Director Susan Hart. A public comment date for the preliminary budget and levy has been set for Monday, December 14. The council will certify the levy to the county December 28. Discussion resumed once again regarding the redesign of the former and currently vacant municipal liquor store for a new city hall. The topic has been much discussed in previous years and several councilors noted hearing from the public that they’d like to see the city do something with the building. The

city already has an architect’s plan and project cost estimate for the repurposing. It was earlier estimated in 2013 at $107,000 (base bid). The city had previously worked with the USDA to finance $181,000, but that plan was halted prior to bonding with the USDA.” City Administrator Sarvi brought forth the option of utilizing Public Works and Sentenced to Serve for a portion of the labor required on the retrofit. It appears only the electrical wiring may need to be contracted for. “We could get a lot of work done over the winter. I’m not sure where we’d find the funds if we want to move forward,” added Sarvi. “But, we have the plans. We paid dearly for them.” Material and any labor costs are preliminarily estimated between $100,000 and $150,000, according to Sarvi. City staff will talk with area contractors to determine where the project would start and what it would take to get it finished and whether or not the whole project

Monday, October 5, 2015 would need to be put out for bid. The issue will be discussed again at the October council meeting. The city has also approved changes in contract term and rates for fire contract renewals with ten area townships served by the city’s fire department. A report from Chief Paul Corcoran regarding the renewals was presented for consideration. The contracts will be for two years with a .015 rate for 2016 and 2017, generating $69,945. Hourly rate for services increased from $300 to $400 to align with other tri-county fire department charges. The council has also granted authority to the labor management subcommittee to move forward with the advertisement of vacancy for the Public Works Maintenance Worker 1 position. The subcommittee will bring forward a recommendation for council approval at a later date. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Monday, October 12, at 6:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Chatfield adopts 2016 preliminary levy By Karen Reisner At the September 28 Chatfield City Council meeting, the preliminary levy and budget was certified. The preliminary levy increase is $106,274 or 8.67%. The total 2016 preliminary levy is $1,422,396. Discussion of the proposed budget and levy will occur at the regularly scheduled council meeting on December 14. The preliminary levy could at that time be decreased, but not increased when the final levy is set. The percent of levy increase represents the increase in the total levy and may not be reflected in individual property tax statements at that percent of increase. Local government aid will be increased slightly in 2016. An additional $54,000 will be collected by the city, but will not affect the local tax rate. This additional tax base will affect property tax statements that owners receive in the spring of 2016, but not in the statements distributed in November 2015, making them slightly higher. The city will receive $36,000 in small city aid, as it is a city with a population under 5,000. The 2015 legislature authorized the funds for maintenance and construction of streets. A $75,000 increase for streets is added to the budget to restore the street overlay budget to $125,000. Other budget increases are due to health insurance premiums in the police department, a casualty insurance premium increase at planning and zoning, and personnel cost increases for parks and the city clerk office. Other business in brief • The second consideration of Ordinance 418, relating to sidewalks was approved, as was its publication. • Approval was given for Brian Burkholder to attend a Leadership Development Series Training starting in November and running through May. The 6 two-hour classes will be held one each month at the RCTC Heintz Center. The cost is $429. Burkholder explained that the gaga ball pit proposal that has been approved to be built by Grant Griffin as an Eagle Scout project can be built on one side of the west sand volleyball court. This would reduce the number of volleyball courts to two. If the gaga ball game is popular, a second game could be installed on the other side of the volleyball court. This plan will not reduce green space. Five recycling bins have been purchased to be placed in the city’s parks for under $500. • Approval was given to authorize an increase in the number of active firemen from 24 to 26. Burkholder reported that there was a retirement in September and another expected in January. He said

seven applicants have been interviewed for four positions, the two new positions plus the two replacements. He noted that the firefighter training course starts in November and is in Chatfield this year. The Chatfield Fire District is one of the larger districts around and staffed with less firefighters than others in the area. • Approval was given for the non-profit organization Help Our Neighbors to use the Senior Citizen Room as an office. They will be placing a file cabinet in the room. HON has both volunteers and clients that are senior citizens. Councilor Ken Jacobson said this is an important group, noting that those who need medical supplies such as walkers or raised toilet seats can get them through this organization. • The property at 724 Margaret St. has just a foundation of a house after a fire a few of years ago. The property has been tax forfeited to the state of Minnesota and Olmsted County. The council decided their best option was to declare the city doesn’t have an interest in the property and let it go to public auction. • A letter from Travis Link about the rear slope at the back of his property at Lone Stone Ct. was discussed. Link plans to plant all wild flowers beyond the slope. He has taken down noxious weeds and softwood saplings, leaving wild flowers and prairie grasses. Councilors involved were satisfied that he has a plan in place and is meeting the specifications that he was given. • Jacobson reported that the potential acquisition of land along the westerly side of Mill Creek, from Division St. to Highway 30, was considered too high priced ($15,000) by the Park and Recreation Committee, considering the fact that it is not buildable. • The Park and Rec committee also discussed replacing picnic tables and pet waste stations. They are looking at possibly having the picnic tables sponsored like park benches. A less costly way to have pet waste stations is to have bag dispensers on existing poles and use existing garbage cans to deposit the used bags. • Jacobson maintained that they should look seriously at the swimming pool study conducted by Burbach Aquatics, Inc. It will cost over $800,000 to remodel the pool. Jacobson called a swimming pool a quality of life thing and absolutely not a money maker.

Commonweal Harmony’s ACT on Alzheimer’s October program - music therapy for dementia and its many benefits Theatre those with dementia and memBy Lori Slindee ory loss. Music activates many announces ACT on Alzheimer’s-Harmoparts of the brain and when ny is hosting a Free Community used intentionally, can provide change to season Presentation Tuesday, October 6, 5 p.m. at Greenfield Lutheran Church on Music Therapy and Dementia by Christina Wood. A free light meal will be served following the program. All are invited to come attend Christina Wood’s program on the intentional use of music and its many benefits for our loved ones with dementia as well as for their caregivers. The program will involve both live performance and a discussion on how to use music techniques. This will be a lively entertaining program. Christina Wood, Owner of Healing Rhythms Music Therapy, LLC in Rochester, Minn. is an experienced certified music therapist who works with people in many settings. She enjoys educating people about the benefits of music therapy for patients. Healing Rhythms Music Therapy currently contracts with hospitals, hospices, skilled nursing facilities, memory care centers, group homes, and a variety of private clients in the Southeast Minn. area.

Christina Wood at work. What is music therapy? Music therapy is an allied healthcare profession which uses music to achieve (non-musical) goals. Music Therapy helps folks optimize cognitive (memory-recall) abilities, provides spiritual and psychosocial support for people at end of life, teaches relaxation skills utilizing music to manage stress/anxiety/pain, and encourages functional rehabilitation. Healing Rhythms Music Therapy, LLC is a private practice that offers individualized and group music therapy services throughout southeastern Minn.

Photo submitted Healing Rhythms is a team of five board-certified music therapists that are highly trained and educated in how to utilize music to support individuals of all ages and abilities. They particularly focus on working with people with dementia and memory loss. Music therapy is so much more than entertainment; Presenter Christina Woods is an expert in utilizing music to help others. Why does it matter? Neuroscience and music therapy research has proven the clinical benefits of using music in a variety of settings to support

great benefits. Music therapists are the experts in the field to provide therapeutic services and also educate communities and individuals about how to best use music intentionally with loved ones. Act on Alzheimer’s-Harmony is part of Minnesota’s Statewide volunteer driven collaborative ACT on Alzheimer’s effort to raise awareness and to create dementia friendly communities. The programing is made possible through ACT on Alzheimer’s grant financing. This program is the second of four planned community presentations facilitated by Act on Alzheimer’s-Harmony’s Action Committee. A program on music therapy is a natural fit for our Harmony community. Committee members are Tim Samuelson, Diana Nelson, Pam Kunert, Cliff Johannessen, Linda Kastantin, and Community Coordinator-Lori Slindee. If you have any questions, call one of these folks listed. Watch for more information about the next two monthly programs!

LANESBORO, MINN. — The Commonweal Theatre announces that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the performance rights to the scheduled holiday production The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe have been withdrawn and the show will not be produced. Instead, the theatre will remount its own adaptation of Little Women based on the popular novel by Louisa May Alcott. The adaptation was written by Commonweal company members Hal Cropp, Scott Dixon, and former company member Stef Dickens and given its first production in 2010. The adaptation transforms Alcott’s timeless story for the holidays as the March family gathers to embrace the love and joy of the season. Of the 2010 production, Tom Weber of the Post Bulletin stated, “It polishes a gem of literature to expose new surfaces and layers in the tale to allow for a fresh reflection by all of us upon the bittersweet joys of the season.” For more information about this change to the Commonweal production calendar, please phone Box Office Manager Stela Burdt at (507) 467-2905 ext. 206.

Minnesota courts go paperless

K&R EquipmEnt, inc.

300 Cedar St. Box 176, Fountain, MN 55935 • Office 507-268-4425

By Karen Reisner Fillmore County court administrator Jim Attwood presented an overview of the Minnesota Judicial Branch eFiling and eServe system to attorneys, law enforcement, and related staff people at a meeting on September 28. Fillmore County and the other 10 counties in the Third Judicial District will begin accepting eFiled documents on a voluntary basis on November 9. The new electronic mandatory system will move Minn. courts from paper records to electronic records. It is mandated that all 87 district courts use the new electronic system by July 1, 2016. The intention is to get the system started on a voluntary basis statewide by the end of this year. The eFiling and eServe service has been in use in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties for about two years. The new system already has been mandatory in about a dozen pilot counties. Attorneys, government agencies, guardians ad litem, and sheriffs already are or will be mandated statewide to use the new system in all court cases filed. Paper filings will not be accepted by any of these groups after July 1, 2016. All fees will be paid electronically through a credit or debit card. Self represented litigants and medical examiners will also be able to use the electronic system. However, people representing themselves will still be able to do a paper filing. Attwood said the new system is expected to be make court processing more efficient and reduce operational expenses. For example, he said he didn’t order file folders

this year saving $500. The electronic system will allow for secure access to electronic records for those in the justice system. The system is expected to save time and provide consistency with the statewide mandate. Case files will be able to be filed without a trip to the courthouse or the use of a delivery company. Access to eFiling will be 24/7. Judges and others using the system will have access to the most up to date documents. Court records that are not considered “confidential” will be viewable at the Judicial Branch website. Attorneys and others will be able to access most records outside of the courthouse. Public documents will be accessible by the public at courthouse terminals statewide. Cases will be electronically transmitted to appellate courts. Courts are imaging active existing files now. Attwood stated that since mid June paper filings that come in are immediately imaged and the judge has been working only with electronic documents. New Minnesota Government Access (new MGA) will allow government agencies to look at appropriate electronic court records and documents which are stored in the Minnesota Court Information System. Social services will be filing their paperwork electronically. Wills and all documents in parental notification by pass proceedings will not be eFiled. Paper copies will be maintained on any financial related document like wills and bail bonds. Attwood noted that attorneys and other professionals will need to continue to maintain their own filing system in their office.

Recycling 101 By LaVerne C. Paulson Recycling Education Coordinator Hazardous Household Waste Day is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, from noon until 5 p.m. If you miss this one, the next one is scheduled to be held in May of 2016. If, after October 6, you find you must dispose of some hazardous waste, another option is to take it to a county that accepts LaVerne C. hazardous waste Paulson on a daily basis. Because you are not a resident of that county, you will most likely be charged a fee for the disposal of your items. You may want to call them to find out if they will accept your hazardous waste and if so, how they want it packaged. The remainder of this article will review a few more items that seem to need a little more information to make you a better Fillmore County recycler. Most glass jars containing food purchased in a store are recyclable. There is no need to remove the label. Simply rinse them out and add them to your recycling container. If the lid is metal, it is recyclable as well. Canning jars are not recyclable, nor are water glasses, coffee cups, plates, glass cookware,

aquariums, and window glass. All glass bottles are recyclable, along with the metal caps. There are few questions concerning aluminum cans. They are all recyclable. The entire steel/tin can is recyclable, along with the lid. As with the jars, just rinse and add to your container. The label does not have to be removed. It will magically disappear during the recycling process. Ice cream pails, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and most other tub-like containers can be a bit confusing. Many times I have shared the rule concerning the “chasing arrows” with the 1 or the 2 inside the symbol that makes that container recyclable in Fillmore County. I have also mentioned that the ice cream pail itself is quite recyclable being a “2”, but the cover is not because it is a “4”. Most residents of Fillmore County who read these articles are aware of that. However, do you know that your yogurt or cottage cheese container is a “5”, but the cover is a “2”, making the cover a recyclable item even though the container itself is not? I know of one resident of Fillmore County that was not aware of that until quite recently. So, perhaps you may have learned something new today. I just assumed being the tub and the cover look very similar that they were the same number. If you attended the State Fair this

signal, inattention and distraction. Each year in Minn., approximately 40 pedestrians and 8 bicyclists are killed as a result of collisions with motor vehicles. • As a group, pedestrians and bicyclists comprise nearly 10 percent of all traffic fatalities each year —67% of these fatal crashes occur in urban areas. • 40% of pedestrians and 21% of bicyclists killed had consumed alcohol. • 19% of pedestrians killed were not crossing properly. Rules of the road and safety tips • Bicyclists may ride on all Minn.

roads, except where restricted. • Bicyclists should ride on the road, and must ride in the same direction as traffic. • Motorists must at all times maintain a three-foot clearance when passing a bicyclist. • Bicyclists must signal their turns and should ride in a predictable manner. • Bicyclists must use a headlight and rear reflectors when it’s dark. To increase visibility, add a rear flashing light. • Motorists must drive at safe speeds and be attentive — look for bicyclists and check blind spots. • Drivers should use caution and

look twice for riders when turning. • Drivers should use caution when opening door upon parking on side of road. This is a great question and topic to talk about. I have seen an increase in bicycles on our roadways, so we all need to be extra cautious to prevent bicycle/pedestrian collisions with vehicles. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minn., send your questions to Sgt.

year, perhaps you were one of the quarter million fairgoers who visited the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) building known as the Eco Experience. Of the dozen or more exhibitors, the main attraction seemed to be a twenty-five foot tall swirling vortex made of plastic bags and resembling a tornado named “ Bagnado.” The exhibit emphasized that Minnesotans throw away 500 tons of plastic bags and packaging every day. According to the MPCA, that is twelve pounds per second all day and all night. That accounts for the 87,000 tons of plastic sent to landfill each year. The plastic bag recycling rate in our state is less than 10%. It is really time to think seriously of returning all those plastic shopping bags to a store that will accept them. If all that plastic were to be recycled, it would produce nearly $7,000,000 worth of new plastic. Besides visiting “Bagnado” I am sure you also spent time at many of the other buildings enjoying the gadgets, quilts, bees, baby pigs, fish, livestock, the shops under the grandstand, and perhaps two or three things “on a stick”. The MPCA also states that it takes 2000 gallons of water to make a pair of jeans, 660 gallons to make a cheeseburger, and 37 gallons to produce one cup of coffee. That is a lot of water used along the way to transform the raw material into the final, useable product for you.
