The bar was moved to the opposite side of the room, the bathrooms were re-done, a separate handicapped accessible rest room was built and a hair salon was installed among other improvements. They decided to go with a “rustic” theme for the decor which offers a relaxing and casual vibe to customers.

A new business has also brought new life to the main street in Fountain, Minn. Beaver Bottoms Saloon is a bar, restaurant, liquor store, and hair salon all wrapped up in one. Owners Jody Wiza and Laura Schroeder have created a fun and welcoming atmosphere in the former Bent Wrench building located at 98 Main Street. Wiza, who owns The Hair Shack and The Shack Bar in Dover, Minn., was looking for a new venture and after learn-
ing that the building was for sale and looking at it, she and Laura decided to go into business together to create Beaver Bottoms Saloon. They closed on the building on March 30, 2018, and with help from Laura’s husband, Chad, and Jody’s husband, Bruce, they completed some major remodeling. “The whole ceiling was painted black,” says Schroeder, so they painted it an off-white color which made a remarkable difference in and of itself. “It was the largest changing component,” Schroeder states, adding “it totally changed it
The dream is not yet a reality, but it is well on its way and much farther along than anyone expected it to be just a year ago. Legislators including Rep. Greg Davids, Senator Jeremy Miller, Minnesota House Veterans Affairs Division Chairman Bob Dettmer, and Senate Veterans Committee Chairman Bruce Anderson were in attendance at the celebratory event held on September 27 at the proposed site in Preston. Davids again recounted an earlier conversation with Rushford resident Maynard LaFleur who alerted him to the fact that southeast Minnesota was without a veterans home. He thanked the Fillmore County commissioners who were asked to choose between two great veterans home proposals this last spring from Preston and Spring Valley. A 3:2 vote favored Preston as the location for the proposed veterans home. Commissioners then
unanimously threw their support behind the Preston site. Committees were formed in 2013 in Preston and Spring Valley with a specific goal, the construction of a veterans home, preferably in their community. The 15 county catchment area is estimated to have about 30,000 veterans. A facility in southeastern Minnesota will allow veterans in the area to be in a care facility, while remaining close to their families. Chuck Aug announced that local government units, veterans groups, and residents have raised a total of $1,065,437.42 in about five weeks. The total includes $360,000 from the city of Preston and the Preston Utility and $350,000 from Fillmore County. These local funds will be eligible for a 2:1 match from the Federal Veterans Administration. Funds raised by the community may continue to be eligible for the 2:1 match until about March 2019.

For many, the donation triggers strong emotions, which are tied to the veterans within their families. Some have been creative in their money raising efforts. Carter Keim, a seven year old from Cherry Grove, raised $2,500 with his farm fresh “Butt Nuggets� egg sales. Cristina and Anton Welke, Plainview, organized a baseball tournament as a fundraising event, raising a total of $4,500. This
Monday, October 8, 2018
was a celebration of both America’s past time and patriotism. Aug said there were about 400 individual donations; $2,005 was raised just this day. There was $32,000 in the Minnesota 2018 bonding bill for three veterans homes to be located in Preston, Montevideo, and Bemidji. Preston’s portion was $10.2 million which qualifies for the 2:1 match for a 72 bed facility. All the funding so far including the federal match will add up to nearly $34 million for a veterans home in Preston.

Cathy Enerson, EDA director for Preston and Spring Valley, explained the process started with the local committees. She thanked legislators for their role, getting the funding included in the 2018 bonding bill. Miller stated that both projects, the veterans cemetery and the veterans home, couldn’t have moved forward without the help of Davids. He credited Dettmer and Anderson for their efforts to move the project along through legislative committees. Miller went on to thank the county board, local veterans, friends and neighbors for their support. Davids stated, “We are on a fast track.� There are a lot of veterans to serve in our area, but also there are needs in other areas. When legislators were discussing the needs in the state and the three proposed Veterans Homes, Dettmer had suggested, “let’s do them all.� Dettmer stated veterans have served us, now it is time to serve them. He related that Rep. Sarah Anderson, State Government Finance Committee, had argued that the Vikings have a great home; now, what about the veterans. Dettmer reminded people that in order to get things done for veterans, we have to speak with one voice. Dettmer read a poem,

Monday, October 8, 2018
Start, Stephanie Start, and Vernon Thompson. Peterson City Council Of Gail Barnard-Boyum, Dave Colbenson, and Pete Erickson, only two of these candidates will be elected to serve the City of Peterson. Spring Valley City Council There are two seats available on the Spring Valley City Council, and four candidates vying for the opportunity to serve their community: Thomas J. Brunson, Chris Danielson, John Dols, and Luan R. Ruesink. Whalan City Council Voters will be selecting only two of these three candidates — Kimberly Berekvam, Johnny M. Halvorson, and Alesha Sveen — to complete their Whalan City Council. Wykoff Mayor Wade Baker will be challenging Alan D. Williams for the position of Mayor for the City of Wykoff. Wykoff City Council Running for Wykoff City Council has never been more popular than in 2018. There are currently only two seats available on the Wykoff City Council, and there are seven candidates jockeying for voter support: Rich Bottorff, Jerico Bushman, Richard Gleason, Mitchell P. Grabau, Gerald Jacobson, Sr., Lyle Morey, and Melissa (Missy) Musel. Houston Mayor David Olson and Tony J. Schultz are seeking the leadership role of Mayor for the City of Houston. Houston County Recorder Becky Konieczny-Peterson and Susan K. Schwebach are seeking voter support for the position of Houston County Recorder. Houston County Commissioner - District 2 Eric Johnson and Justin Zmyewski are facing off for one seat on the Houston County Board for District 2.
Houston County Commissioner - District 3 There are four contenders battling for the position of County Commissioner for District 3. Here are the options on the ballot: Bruce Bulman, Robert Burns, Bruce Kuehmichel, and Ryan Stenzel. Houston County Commissioner - District 4 Gary Parr, Bob Scanlan, Ken Visger, and Teresa Walter are all looking forward to Election Day to see which one of them will be voted into office for the position of County Commissioner for District 4. Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer Shirl Boelter is still listed on the Minnesota Secretary of State website as the Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer, but she hasn’t served in that capacity since her resignation in May of 2016. Over the past two plus years, the County Board has utilized existing county staff to oversee leadership of the Auditor/Treasurer office. On Election Day, voters will elect either Heidi ‘Bly’ Jones or Brian Hoff to be the next Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer. Fillmore County Sheriff There can only be one sheriff. Who will it be? Kaase or DeGeorge? In 2014, Kaase beat Brian Miner by only 261 votes. State Representative - District 28B Incumbent State Representative Greg Davids has been challenged by Fillmore County DFL-endorsed Thomas Trehus yet again. In 2016, Davids garnered 54.62% of the votes, with Trehus picking up the remaining 45.38% of voter support in District 28B — spanning Fillmore County and Houston County. U.S. Congress - District 1 With U.S. Congressman for District 1, Tim Walz, seeking the position of Minnesota Governor, Republican Jim Hagedorn has a new challenger in the race and

he’s a Democrat named Dan Feehan. Hagedorn lost to Walz by less than 3,000 votes in 2016. Running unopposed In 27 races, there is no opposition, so there won’t be a coin-toss finish. Cities Canton’s Donivee Johnson is the only candidate running for Mayor. For the Chatfield City Council, Paul Novotny and Mike Urban are running for the only two open seats. Jim Schott has a lock on Mayor for the City of Fountain, being the only name on the ballot. Jason Resseman is the only name on the ballot for Mayor of Lanesboro. In Mabel, James Westby is the only option for Mayor, and Terry L. Torkelson and Adam Wilder are the only two candidates to fill two seats. Peterson Mayor Tim Hallum should keep his leadership role with no opposition on the ballot. The Mayor of Preston, Kurt Reicks, is running unopposed, as well. And, the Preston City Council has two seats to fill, and two candidates ready to serve: Robert Maust and Charlie Sparks. In Rushford Village, there’s a safe bet that Mayor Gordon Johnson will retain his seat, running unopposed. In Spring Valley, Tony Archer is the only one standing in line for the job of Mayor. The same goes for Marlys Tuftin, who is running unopposed for Mayor of Whalan.

Tell us why you are running for office: I am choosing to run for City Council to help Wykoff come together as a community. You can’t see the change you envision until you (try and) do something about it. I feel our city could improve and advance in numerous ways if we can keep on track and stay focused; to work collectively on solutions, to improve on our technology, to be non-biased and to work with the community rather than against. I would like to see positive change and collaboration. I believe we can accomplish so much more by working together and forming positive relationships.

Tell us why you are running for office: I feel as mayor that I can help shape this community to be the best it can be. I think that our city needs to get back to the “basics.” We need to use common sense and concentrate on running our city as a business. I have been to almost all of the city council meetings since 2012, and I think that will aid me in the duties as mayor. I feel I have good leadership qualities and would like to have the chance to use them as mayor. I think we need to develop better ways to be more efficient as a town. See MAYOR Page 8

Eric Johnson Candidate for Houston County Commissioner District 2 Tell us about yourself: Houston County is where I’ve lived and farmed my entire life. This is where I met my wife Sheri of 27 years and where we raised Eric Johnson our two kids Kate and Matthew. I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and being active in the community. Tell us about your work/life experience: I am a proud, third-generation farmer. I have served as a Houston Township Officer for 22 years and been a leader in my church. I have also volunteered/served on local community/county boards, including: 4-H, Houston-Money Creek Coop, and the Houston County Feed Lot Committee and Extension Committee. Tell us why you are running for office: After eight years of Justin Zmyewski, the tax levy has increased more than 20% (another 6.9% increase for 2019), there is still no county shop while construction costs rise, a new administrator at a cost of $150,000+, and there have been record resignations/retirements. It’s time for a change. District 2 deserves a commissioner who respects our city/ township officials, who works with county department heads rather than against them, who will promote small-business, and preserve essential services while being fiscally responsible. We need someone who represents the hard-working families in our county. That is why I ask for your vote.
track late model race cars for race teams around the country. My prior experience was that of a mechanical designer and my degree is as an aircraft mechanic. Tell us why you are running for office: We hope for good government. We vote, and we speak out for causes we believe are fair and just but in the end, it is those who are elected that make governing decisions that affect all of us. I realize that if I didn’t take an interest in politics that politics may not take an interest in me. With that said, I want to continue to make fair and just decisions for the constituency of Houston County continuing my mission of fiscal responsibility, more efficient government and protecting the environment God entrusted us with. Robert Burns Candidate for Houston County Commissioner District 3 Tell us about yourself: My name is Robert Burns. I have been a resident of Caledonia for over 50 years. I have been married to my wife, Marla, for 44 years. We have two adult children and six Robert Burns grandchildren. Tell us about your work/life experience: I have an associate degree in accounting. I’ve worked six years in public accounting, 37 years for Mathy Construction and am a 20-year veteran of the Caledonia Fire Dept. I’ve served 25 years on the city council and two years on County Planning/ Zoning Commission. I’m active in local charities. Tell us why you are running for office: I feel my experience would make me a good county commissioner. I have no agenda other than to represent the people of Houston County to the best of my ability. I have dealt with difficult issues while on the planning/zoning commission. Not all of my votes have been received well by some, but I stand by the ordinances and property owners’ rights. I have dealt with city budgets, which is a benefit working on county budgets. We need to get the highway department shop done. I support agricultural and economic growth, the environment and the welfare of our citizens.
C a n d i d at e s ated from Caledonia Area High School in 2010. Because of my fascination with the local political landscape, I ran as a write-in candidate for Houston County Ryan Stenzel Commissioner in 2016. I can be found spending my spare time with my friends and family. Tell us about your work/life experience: Throughout high school and while acquiring my associate degrees in business management and marketing at Western Technical College, I worked at Kwik Trip in Caledonia. For the last five years, I have been employed with Sno Pac Foods as an office administrator and outside sales representative. Tell us why you are running for office: I have been watching the residents in my community slowly lose faith in their local government and question whether their opinions even matter to those in office. Someone needs to attempt to create an environment within local government where efficiency and transparency are the top priorities; I think that person should be me. The residents of Houston County deserve representation that will remain unbiased on the issues and dedicated to providing them with the services that their tax dollars pay for, but in a more efficient manner so they can be assured that their money is not going to waste.

Some Lanesboro residents unhappy with outcome of Auburn/Zenith project By Hannah Wingert The October 1 Lanesboro City Council meeting opened with a public forum to discuss the assessments for the Auburn/Zenith Road improvement project. City Engineer Brian Malm began the forum by updating the council on the project. The contractor had finished their punch list items just before the council meeting, and the contract states that the contractor will be responsible for correcting any issues that arise with the items or the project in the next two years. “It’s complete, but we will be monitoring over the next two years and especially next spring,” Malm said. He also noted that the project came in under budget so the assessments to the homeowners are actually lower than what was originally estimated except for one property which had requested the addition of sewer services. One of the assessments was for a property just outside of city limits. That assessment will be postponed until the property has been annexed to the city. Prior to the meeting, notices had been sent out to each property owner detailing their assessment and their rights. A number of homeowners were present at the public forum to discuss their dissatisfaction with how the project turned out. Phil and Clorees Haug were very unhappy with the way their driveway was redesigned, making it difficult to back out of. “It’s a nightmare,” Clorees stated. Phil also pointed out that the street is more narrow in one section which eliminated five parking spaces. He recommended either prohibiting bicycles from that part of the road or installing a sidewalk for safety. He felt that the surveying on his property was done incorrectly and was upset that the sewer and water wasn’t replaced all the way to the undeveloped lot, which will make it harder to sell and develop at some point. Malm assured him that it was done with the option of extending it if needed. “It’s just one big disaster,” property owner Bob Olson stated. Other homeowners agreed. Olson was also upset that he was assessed as a corner lot as he felt that part of that assessment should have been divided among all of the homeowners on the road. Mayor Autumn Johnson advised him that the assessments had been determined based on city policy. Mayor Johnson addressed the homeowners’ dissatisfaction with the project. “We did have multiple public hearings to discuss the plans before the project started,” she pointed out. She asked that the discussion be kept to the topic of the assessments themselves as that
was the point of the public forum. “We have had many, many meetings on design so we’re not talking about that tonight.” As there were no more comments or questions about the assessments, the public forum was closed and the regular city council meeting was opened. Hal Cropp from the Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor Center asked the council to consider donating $400 to the Commerce to allow them to apply for a matching grant from Dairyland Power Cooperative. The money would be used to help cover printing costs for the Lanesboro Visitor’s Guide. The council approved the donation request. The public utilities department, Lanesboro library, Heritage Preservation commission, Planning & Zoning commission, and Economic Development Authority all have terms that are expiring and will have seats available on their boards soon. Anyone interested in serving is asked to call the city offices for more information. The council reviewed the city’s sidewalk policy and updated it. City staff had evaluated the sidewalks around town and laid out initial areas of concern that will need replacement soon. They plan to repeat the process in the spring. The city’s policy states that 50% of the cost for sidewalk repairs or replacements will be assessed to the homeowner. There is a section of road on Auburn Avenue that the city vacated in 1992. City Administrator Michele Peterson asked if the council would like to leave it as is or consider reversing the vacation. “What’s in the public’s best interest?” City Attorney Thomas Manion asked. “It sounds like the public has a benefit from the piece being maintained.” The council decided to table
the matter until more research could be done. The council reviewed proposed resolution 2018-37 regarding the assessment of two cemetery parcels and the property on the Auburn/Zenith project that is not in the city limits. Manion noted that Minnesota statute requires that privately owned cemeteries be assessed during city projects, but not public ones. Malm had looked into the status of both parcels and found one to be listed as owned by Catholic Cemeteries and the other owned by Catholic Cemeteries and the City of Lanesboro which leaves the matter unresolved. The council decided to approve the resolution for the time being and reassess later if necessary. A final payment request was received from Gen X, the contractor for the Auburn/ Zenith improvement project. As noted earlier during the public forum, the punch list was completed earlier that day. Malm recommended approving the pay request contingent on receiving all of the paperwork for the final work done. “Are you satisfied with the completion of the punch work?” Council member Jason Resseman asked Malm. “I’ll be honest, some of the sod he put down, we’re going to be watching it in the spring time,” Malm answered. “The only reason I feel comfortable doing this is because we have a bond, and we have a two-year correction period which means that if anything happens, he’s (Gen X) is on the hook for it.” The council approved the pay request contingent on receiving final paperwork. The next Lanesboro City Council meeting will be held on November 5 at 4:30 p.m. instead of 5:30 p.m. to allow the council time to conduct the budget meeting before the official council meeting starts. The budget meeting is open to the public.

On October 2, the numbers will be conveyed to the state at a meeting for planning purposes. The preliminary planning process will begin at this meeting. Access possibilities to the site will be discussed. Hoffman suggested we may learn how big of facility we can afford. On November 8, a second meeting will be held with a number of people involved in the planning process. On December 6, a large, community meeting will allow interested community leaders and citizens to see ideas for the design. Other Business in Brief • Hoffman reported councilman Charles Sparks (training valid to July 2019) and councilwoman Holly Zuck (training valid to July 2020) have been trained for the Board of Appeal and Equalization. At least one member must be present at the Appeal and Equalization meeting that has had the training in the last four years. If no member is present with the training the duties are transferred to the county. Hoffman encouraged another council member to take the training which is available online. Trainings must be completed by January 31, 2019.

reason to modify the development agreement. Bunge said there is a need to build nice, affordable units. He thinks smaller, more efficiently laid out floor plans will have an appeal. The small apartment (648 square feet) which will have a handicapped bathroom is an experiment in a way. If it is what someone can afford and what the individual wants, it is feasible. Bunge went on to say that a wide variety or smorgasbord of housing is needed, everything from starter homes to expensive homes in a wooded area. The lot split (15 feet off the adjoining lot 4 to be added to lot 5) was approved. Bunge will be allowed to build the single family home with attached apartment on lot 5. Veterans Home City Administrator Joe Hoffman presented a list of pledges and donations for the veterans home. The total is over $1,050,000. The city of Preston and Preston Utilities have donated $360,000 and Fillmore County has donated $350,000. Wabasha, Freeborn, Blue Earth, Mower, and Houston Counties together donated a total of $45,000. The Preston Area Community Foundation pledged $100,000.

approached him about building a three bedroom, two bath house, two car garage with a small attached apartment (18 feet x 36 feet) which could be rented. He would still be providing two living units but not a duplex. To follow through on this idea he would either need to seek a variance to meet setbacks or get a lot split, 15 feet off the adjoining lot. He related conversations with two widowers who don’t drive who wanted to know if there was anything small to rent. He has also been looking in to three-plexes. Another individual has said he is interested in half of a duplex. Bunge said his focus has been on senior citizens in the past, but in this case a young couple with a child is interested in investing in a property. Mayor Kurt Reicks asked if the lot split would still leave enough room in the adjoining two lots for two duplexes. Bunge said there would still be room. City Attorney Dwight Luhmann noted that what Bunge is suggesting is actually providing more square footage than required in the development agreement. He did not see a

Now that Beaver Bottoms Saloon has been open a few months, Schroeder is much more relaxed and is enjoying being a business owner. “You can create it and make it as much as you want and see it through to the outcome you want,” notes Schroeder. “You drive it forward,” she says, adding, “I think that’s why I got involved — looking for that ownership and creativity” that comes with being a business owner. Wiza thrives on being a business owner because “I am an independent person and I like to have a lot going on,” she states. “I like calling my own schedule,” says Wiza, as it gives her the opportunity to create the time she needs to be involved with her many activities and commitments includ-

residents and Fillmore County residents, as well as Wizas’ loyal customer base. Opening Beaver Bottoms Saloon was not as intimidating for Wiza as it was for Schroeder. “I had already opened a bar from start to finish,” explains Wiza, and she has been in the restaurant business her whole life in one way or another and is knowledgeable in the field. Wiza has also been a hairdresser for 19 years, gaining experience working at salons such as the former City Looks in Rochester, Minn., for four and a half years before opening her own salon.

Schroeder and Wiza have opposite personalities for the most part as Schroeder describes herself as “quiet, calm and cool,” while Wiza says she is “the big-mouth, over-going extrovert,” although they admit that they are both workaholics. “I have always been goaldriven and always been selfsufficient,” states Wiza. “I have a lot of goals in life and I know you don’t get them by sitting around,” she adds, explaining that her dad was a very hard worker which set an example for her. Schroeder shared the same sentiment saying “I was taught if you wanted something you need to earn it,” which is a trait that seems to be somewhat lost these days. Schroeder, who already holds a master’s degree in business administration is currently working on her master’s of arts in leadership degree. Both Wiza and Schroeder have children and they feel family must be prioritized. “It’s a huge balancing act but I think that’s what makes us strong and motivated,” Schroeder commented. Beaver Bottoms Saloon offers a wide variety of food on their menu including appetizers, burgers, salads, Mexican food, pizza, wraps, Panini’s and other sandwiches. Appetizers include pork wings, pot stickers, chicken tenders, skin on fresh cut French fries, cheese curds and more. Wraps include chicken bacon ranch, buffalo chicken, chicken caesar, turkey bacon guacamole wrap, chef wrap and club wrap. If a burger is what you’re hungry for, try a mushroom Swiss burger or a bacon cheeseburger or you could change things up and have a delicious Panini. Beaver Bottoms Saloon also has a children’s menu offering mac n’ cheese or a quesadilla served with applesauce or a pudding cup. Beaver Bottoms Saloon is becoming well-known for their Bloody Mary’s with their housemade Bloody Mary mix that has seven-plus ingredients and comes with a beef stick, cheese curds, olive, celery and a dill pickle spear. Customers can also stop in to grab a bottle to go as, “not only do we have off-sale beer, but we

have almost a full liquor store,” states Wiza. And don’t forget you can also get your hair cut at Beaver Bottom’s Saloon! “The salon is open when I’m here — I take appointments by phone,” explains Wiza, saying clients can call her cell phone at (507) 259-3072 to make an appointment. Schroeder and Wiza are overwhelmed with the support they have received from the city of Fountain and the surrounding area. “It’s been very good,” says Wiza. “We have a good following of people,” states Wiza, as they have both bicyclists and motorcyclists that frequent the business as well as many local residents who have become “regulars” at the business. Beaver Bottoms Saloon also gets a lot of support from people from the Dover area that come to Fountain to support
Wiza and Schroeder and their new venture which they appreciate very much. Now that the business has been open a few months the owners are looking at making a few minor changes and additions. They are contemplating doing “wing nights” and providing VIP cards. They are always open to suggestions from customers as well. Plan on attending Fountain’s “Pub”kin Crawl on Saturday, October 27, from 2-5 p.m. that Beaver Bottom Saloon is involved in. The “Pub”kin Crawl is a fundraiser for Fountain’s 150th Celebration. Stop in to Beaver Bottoms Saloon for food, drinks, entertainment including bands, DJ’s and karoake, a hair cut or just for some good conversation with friends. For more information phone Beaver Bottoms Saloon at (507) 268-4464.

Courthouse security screening up and running Kingsland to Inform Public on Levy Issues
Commissioner Randy Dahl comes through the metal detector; Security Officer Tom Mosher watches the scanner when items belonging to Dahl pass through the e-ray machine. Video screens behind Mosher display areas inside and outside of the courthouse in real time. Photo by Karen Reisner By Karen Reisner Beginning on September 4 the public has only been able to enter the Fillmore County Courthouse through the east lobby/main entry. A security officer/deputy will instruct you to put items that may be in your pockets including cell phones, keys, and change into a container to go through a scanner or x-ray machine. Purses and other carry in bags will also be put through the scanner. You then are directed to step through the metal detector. If no metal is detected on your person, you collect your belongings and go on your way. Metal joint replacements, belt buckles, and steel toed shoes are some items on one’s person that have activated the metal detector alarm. The security officer oversees the process and keeps track of the monitoring system that displays on camera pictures inside and outside of the courthouse. The system is up and running during regular hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) while the courthouse is open Monday through Friday, at all times when the district judge is on the bench, and during some other periods when the public enters for scheduled meetings. Currently, three part-time deputies have been hired to oversee courthouse security. Security Officer Mosher said the deputies work 10-hour shifts (currently, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) They begin their day before the courthouse is open to the public by walking around the perimeter of the courthouse and the shift ends after the courthouse closes to the public by again walking around the exterior of the building. Sheriff Tom Kaase said the east door was selected to be the entry point for the public because it is handicapped accessible. Authorized persons can bypass the screening process by
displaying proper credentials. Judge Matthew Opat issued a standing order over a year ago which states “no firearms, ammunition, explosives, or dangerous weapons are allowed in the Fillmore County Courthouse complex.” A pocket knife or any other knife will not be allowed. Any item that can be used as a weapon can not be carried into the courthouse. The public is allowed to take items which could be used as a weapon that they have on their person back to their vehicle. If the alarm on the metal detector is activated, the person is asked to step back and recheck for metal items on his or her person. If the alarm is activated again, a hand wand may be used to pin point the area which is setting off the alarm. If a person can not explain a reason for the sounding of the alarm to the satisfaction of the security officer, the person will be denied access to the building. Kaase explained that something that is in violation of the law will be able to be placed in an “amnesty box” to be located outside of the courthouse. At the time of this writing, this box has not yet been installed. Items placed in the amnesty box will not be returned and will become the property of the sheriff’s department. The box will be cleared out as evidence and it will be determined if items are contraband, need to be destroyed, or are of some value. Employees that work in the courthouse building or access the building regularly have badges that allow them to use the west door to enter the lobby. Kaase said anybody can be screened at any time. Employees may be selected and directed to be screened on a random basis. Kaase suggested the most likely threat will come from someone in the courthouse due to a court
related situation. No other doors other than the east and west lobby doors can be used to enter or exit the building. All other doors have alarms on them which will sound off if the door is opened. They are to be used for exit in emergency situations only. Employees that work in the courthouse building have reader cards that allow them into offices appropriate for their work assignments. Kaase believes the public has been accepting of the security system process. The security system improves safety and security for visitors, employees, and court officials. He explained that each of the courthouses in the state are designed differently. Some courthouses house the court, probation, and the county attorney separately. The Fillmore County courthouse houses the court and offices related to the court, but also the auditor/treasurer, recorder, assessor, coordinator, zoning, and the commissioner’s board room. Kaase commented that a few individuals have come to the door, seen the metal detector and security officer, and then they have turned around and left, not to return. If the public has questions, they can talk to the security officer or reach out to the sheriff’s office. The security system has been installed to improve the safety and security of those visiting and working in the courthouse. Security equipment is expensive. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman said about $242,000 has been spent on equipment and installation to date. Most of the funds used to pay for the system came from two years of dividends from the Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust (MCIT). Thirty-one thousand was from a state grant. Less than $40,000 came from county levy dollars.
By Rich Wicks A monthly “work session” meeting of the Kingsland School Board was held on October 1, with all members present (Doug Plaehn, Ann Oeltjen, Leah Stier, Jackie Horsman, Tiffany Mundfrom, Heather Betts, and Superintendent James Hecimovich). Business Manager Amber Herbrand gave a budgetary summary, stating, “I have the new budget model,… so we’ll be able to project out with that.” She added that more detailed information will be coming in the next two weeks. Regarding the Longterm Facility Maintenance (indoor air quality) issues with the vacated Wykoff buildings, Hecimovich said, “Well, abatement began last Monday for asbestos, and today started the mercury abatement. They’re thinking it will be done by November,… so that’s moving along well.” The board discussed Kingsland’s Operating Levy PR Plan regarding the upcoming referendum. Hecimovich said Kingsland plans to use a variet of methods to get information out to voters in advance of the election. He said there are three upcoming home volleyball games which would be excellent chances to hand out information and answer questions. He also suggested showing a chart comparing Kingsland’s “per student funding” to that of other nearby school districts. The board also discussed putting an emphasis on the “trades” program, with some board members sharing their opinion that they would prefer a broader term than “trades,” since that brings to mind mainly traditionally men’s jobs such as construction. Some board members suggested “Trades/ Technology/Health,” while others suggested “certified jobs,” meaning any job that requires a specific certification. There was also discussion about sharing the “loss of buying power” that has befallen Kingsland, as inflation has outpaced increases in state aid. A few board members mentioned reading an article about this,
and said it would be an excellent resource for interested voters. The board also considered possibly holding a public meeting to discuss the levy and referendum. Members agreed that even if such a meeting were not well-attended, it is a good practice to offer such a meeting, so that anyone interested has that opportunity. No public meeting date was set, but the board will move forward with that soon. Hecimovich informed the board that the Kingsland monthly newsletters will soon be published in the Spring Valley Tribune, in addition to the Fillmore County Journal. He said the Tribune has agreed to publish this at no cost to Kingsland, as the Journal has been doing. Hecimovich and the board agreed this is a very welcome and effective way to get the word out to the community about what’s going on at Kingsland. Principal Scott Klavetter said that there is a new requirement tied to Title One funding. He explained that regarding foster children, if housed outside the school district, are to be allowed to stay in their school if at all possible, to provide some continuity in their lives. Klavetter said for some time Kingsland has been providing transportation to make this happen, but that the new federal and state guidelines stipulate that the county is now expected to pay equally. He said he recently met with Kevin Olson about this, and Fillmore County will begin reimbursing Kingsland for 50% of these transportation costs. The next regular board meeting will be Monday, October 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the choir room. As always, the public is welcome. The next work session will be Monday, November 5 at 6 p.m. Kingsland’s auditing firm (Smith Schafer) will present at the November 5 meeting. On October 11, Kingsland parents and students are invited to a presentation titled “Never Give Up,” presented by Terrence Lee Talley. It will be at 6:30 p.m. in the Kingsland gym.

Eventually discussion led to a motion to give notice after two months past due. “Let’s see what happens,” added Councilor David Gudmundson. The decision was approved unanimously. Another ongoing problem for the city is community center revenue. Flattum states that the expenses for the center, through September 30, are $3,415, while the revenue from rentals is just $2,600. The Community Center Fund’s only consistent revenue stream is rentals. Rental of the center is $200 and discussion centered on raising the rate to make up some of the deficit as well as bringing the rental fee in line with what other municipalities are charging. Councilor Chad Wangen cautioned the council that the fees Todd Hadoff, GRI had previously been upped, which Cell: 507-259-5454 led to no rentals, forcing the counEmail: homes@toddhadoff.com cil to lower the fee again.

Elaine’s feathered friend
Elaine Olson, a Whalan resident, found herself in the role of a mother robin this summer. In late July, she brought a very weak young robin into her home. She placed it in a cardboard box as she tried to think of what she could use as bird food. While looking in her refrigerator, she spied spaghetti and meatballs. She washed the sauce off the spaghetti and started feeding the bird four times a day. As fast as she could feed it, the robin ate the noodles. Olson knew that spaghetti wasn’t the food of choice for robins, so dried mealy worms and live nightcrawlers were now at the top of her grocery list. Within a few days, the robin was sitting on the edge of the box, chirping loudly for more food and even fluttering around the house, following Olson. Where Olson went, the robin went. One morning Olson awoke to the robin sitting on her bed pillow, letting her know that it wanted some food. Smiling, Olson said the robin was chirping just like it was saying, “Get up! Get up and feed me!” The robin was then kept in a dog kennel at night. After three weeks, the robin had gained strength, matured, and fluttered more around the house. Olson knew it had to return to its own habitat, so the robin was put outside during the day but came back inside at night for “safekeeping” while it gained confidence. Olson happened to be outside when the robin took its inaugural flight - it flew to land on top of Olson’s head! The robin recognized Olson and often came to her when she was outside filling the feeding station. The robin was soon flying higher and landing in the top of trees, on the shed, or house roof. It was seen with a mouthful of insects, so she knew it was now gathering it’s own food, but still enjoying going to the feeding station. Olson enjoyed watching the robin bathe in its water dish; this filled Olson with pride. Olson could call, “Come on,” and the robin would come to her, sometimes landing on her shoulder. Olson could always recognize the robin’s chirping, but soon it started to leave for two or three days, and finally in early September, the robin disappeared. Olson, an animal lover, has many memories of her pet robin. “I was amazed at how this wild bird trusted and bonded with me so easily and how I could hold and pet it.” Olson wonders if the bird will return to her home next spring. Only time will tell. Photo and story submitted by Joan Johnson
the Monster Bash and Minnesotahauntedhouses.com has named Monster Bash the #1 Halloween Attraction in Minnesota for 2017. The Monster Bash Haunted House has been a highly regarded entertainment venue for six years since its inception. People regularly come from the Twin Cities, Mankato, Iowa City, La Crosse and all points in between. According to Monster Bash, Inc. president Jay Masters, “The circle we draw from gets larger every year. People hear about us and come from farther and farther away each season.” One aspect of Monster Bash that keeps people coming back every year is the fact that it is never the same from year to year. Each year the floor plan and the theme changes. The variety keeps people coming back to see an entirely new experience every Halloween season. One thing that stays the same is the variety of scares, special effects and actors. This year will feature over 25 live actors, animatronics, and multiple special effects. Another aspect of the Monster Bash Haunted House that stays the same is where the proceeds are funneled. Monster Bash, Inc. is the non-profit organization that manages the haunted house. Proceeds from the event go to support the arts at Fillmore Central High School. To date, Monster Bash has given nearly $57,000 dollars to the students at Fillmore Central over the past six years, on average nearly $10,000 per year. This year Masters says, “Monster Bash 7, Road Trip promises to be the best haunted house we have put together with more special effects than ever before.”

State unemployment rate drops to 2.9%
Ostrander streets near completion
Jobless rate below 3% for first time in nearly 19 years Over the past year, leisure and hospitality gained 11,802 jobs to lead all sectors. Other industries gaining jobs in the past 12 months were trade, transportation and utilities (up 8,328), education and health services (up 8,024), manufacturing (up 7,439), construction (up 6,825), professional and business services (up 5,607), government (up 4,903) and logging and mining (up 8). Three industries lost jobs in the past year: other services (down 1,030), information (down 724) and financial activities (down 278). In the Metropolitan Statistical Areas, four of the five regions registered unadjusted over-the-year growth. The highest growth rate came from the Mankato MSA (up 4.3%), followed by Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA (up 2%), St. Cloud MSA (up 1.8%) and Duluth-Superior MSA (up 1.7%. The Rochester MSA was down 0.4%. DEED has added a section to its website that examines the unemployment rate by demographics (race, age and gender) and looks at alternative measures of unemployment.

Minnesota’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 2.9% in August, according to figures released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The last time Minnesota’s unemployment rate was below 3% was December 1999. The state’s record-low unemployment rate was a seasonally adjusted 2.5% in both January and February 1999. The U.S. unemployment rate last month was 3.9%. Minnesota employers eliminated 200 jobs in August after three consecutive months of strong job growth. Over the past year, the state has added 50,904 jobs, a 1.7% growth rate. U.S. jobs are up 1.8% in the past year. “The annual job growth figures point to a state labor market that is growing strong,” said DEED Commissioner Shawntera Hardy. “Among other positive signs, the number of unemployed Minnesotans last month fell below 90,000 for the first time in over 18 years.” Construction led all sectors in August with a gain of 1,700 jobs, followed by government (up 1,000) and leisure and hospitality (up 400). Logging and mining held steady. Sectors losing jobs were education and health services (down 1,000), manufacturing (down 900), trade, transportation and utilities (down 600), information (down 200), financial activities (down 200), professional and business services (down 200) and other services (down 200).

has risen since the second quarter of 2009, when manufacturerscontributed $1.70 trillion. Over that same time frame, value-added output from durable goods manufacturing grew from $0.86 trillion to $1.26 trillion, with nondurable goods output up from $0.84 trillion to $1.07 trillion. In 2017, manufacturing accounted for 11.6 percent of GDP in the economy. (Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis) For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, another $1.89 is added to the economy. That is the highest multiplier effect of any economic sector. In addition, for every one worker in manufacturing, there are another four employees hired elsewhere. (Source: NAM calculations using IMPLAN) The vast majority of manufacturing firms in the United States are quite small.In 2015, there were 251,774 firms in the manufacturing sector, with all but 3,813 firms considered to be small (i.e., having fewer than 500 employees). In fact, three-quarters of these firms have fewer than 20 employees. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Statistics of U.S. Businesses) Almost two-thirds of manufacturers are organized as passthrough entities. Looking just at manufacturing corporations and partnerships in the most recent data, 65.6 percent are either S corporations or partnerships. The remainder are C corporations. Note that this does not include sole proprietorships. If they were included, the percentage of pass-
through entities rises to 83.4 percent. (Source: Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income) There are currently 12.75 million manufacturing workers in the

County schedules Truth in Taxation meeting By Karen Reisner At the October 2 county board meeting, December meeting dates were set, including Truth in Taxation. There will be only two board meetings in December. The Association of Minnesota Counties annual meeting will be on December 2,3, and 4. Therefore, there will not be a county board meeting on December 4. There will be a regular meeting on December 11 starting at 3 p.m. Later that evening at 6 p.m. the annual Truth in Taxation meeting will be held. There will be a board meeting at its regular 9 a.m. time on December 18, the last board meeting in 2018. Truth in Taxation is a public meeting required by Minnesota law at which the budget and levy are discussed. The public is allowed to comment and ask questions. Other business in brief • County Assessor Cindy Blagsvedt’s resignation to retire was approved with thanks for her 20 years plus of service. Her last day in the office will be December 14. Her retirement is effective January 31, 2019. • A resolution was passed establishing the market price for disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) at $71.25 per ton. Solid waste administrator Andrew Hatzenbihler said the tipping fee is $76 per ton. • Approval was given to enter into a detour agreement with MnDOT for the use of CSAH 8 north of Spring Valley to the Mower County line. Darrell Schmitt, Highway, explained MnDOT plans to replace a few culverts on Highway 16. The detour on CSAH 8 will be about 4.17
miles. The state will provide payment to the county for use and maintenance of CSAH 8 as a detour route. • A resolution was adopted for 2019 Toward Zero Death grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for traffic safety enforcement from October 1 to September 30, 2019. This is the sheriff’s part of the TZD grant and it is mainly used to pay for overtime hours for enforcement of DWI, distracted driving, seat belt, and move over laws. Money is also targeted for dispatch and the TZD conference. The total grant is $7,310. TZD also provides for a public health portion which is geared toward education. • The advertisement to request proposals for a three year auditing firm contract was approved. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman suggested proposals will be reviewed by the Finance Committee, which will give its recommendation to the board. She said they will be looking for a firm with experience working for counties and that has a consistency of staff. • The board renewed the offering of Medicare supplemental group plans for retirees. The plans are paid 100% by the individuals with no cost to the county. • The second reading of the Pre-Employment Physical policy was approved with no changes. • The board approved the establishment of a Health Savings Account (HSA) for 2019. This will provide an additional option for employees to choose from. There will be no additional cost to the county.

Rattlesnake Jubilee wrap-up By Karla Bloem Being scared of something isn’t fun. The goal of the Rattlesnake Jubilee held September 15 in Houston was to educate people and reduce fear of rattlesnakes. This, in turn, is good for the snakes because they aren’t killed out of fear and it’s good for humans, too, since they are less likely to be bitten if they leave rattlesnakes alone. Being bitten by a timber rattlesnake is indeed serious business, as we found out when lifelong area resident Marty Ambuehl, who in 2012 was bitten legitimately (he wasn’t intentionally pestering the snake), told his story. What was to be a fun morning driving in his classic car turned into something very different when he must have bumped or bothered a rattlesnake under his shed door when he opened it. Marty thought he had been stung by a wasp on his ankle, but when he looked down he saw a very big (and it turned out very uncharacteristically cranky) timber rattlesnake. After brushing his teeth and a biting discussion (pun intended) with his wife about which hospital to go to, they opted for Winona only to find out after they arrived that Winona does not carry antivenom. So Marty got an ambulance ride to Gundersen Hospital in Wisconsin. Marty spent a week in the hospital, with his platelet count yo-yoing to dangerously low levels and his leg turning purple up into his thigh. But 22 vials of antivenom later and a hospital bill of $100,000 he was discharged, and after two more weeks was able to go back to work. Thankfully, his insurance covered it all except for his deductible, he has no lingering effects and he doesn’t blame
the snake. But he does have a healthy respect for the distance he keeps between himself and rattlesnakes. Stephen Winter from Winona talked about what he does as a volunteer for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource’s Rattlesnake Responder program. When someone has a rattlesnake in an unsafe location at their home and calls the police, members of the responder program are notified by law enforcement dispatch and one will go to the site to assess the situation. Sometimes the “rattlesnake” turns out to be another species of snake or something else. But when it is indeed a rattlesnake, the responder will capture and relocate the snake to a place safe for humans and snakes, then discuss how to safely live with and lessen the chance of encounters with this statethreatened species. Dr. Dan Keyler has consulted on over 500 venomous snakebites in his career, and actually was consulting on one the morning of the Jubilee, even though he is retired. Since the majority of rattlesnake bites are “illegitimate” (people doing dumb things with snakes), Dan is loaded with stories. He talked about previously used “treatments,” such as giving massive amounts of alcohol (not kidding, this used to be done), cryotherapy (which could and did result in at least one person losing an arm), and suction. But antivenom is the way to go. That being said, roughly half of all timber rattlesnake bites require no to minimal treatment because approximately 25% are dry bites, or so little venom is injected that no significant treatment is needed. Still, anyone who is bitten should go to
a hospital that carries antivenom immediately, without waiting, since time is critical if venom is injected into a major vessel. Dr. Keyler cautioned that doctors rarely have any experience in treating rattlesnake bites. He encourages anyone who is bitten to have their attending doctor contact a regional poison center and seek consultation with a known clinical toxicologist who is experienced in treating venomous snakebites. If needed, Dr. Keyler’s cell phone number is on the Rattlesnake Responder list our local county dispatchers should have. He warned that some doctors still cut into skin or muscle to relieve the pressure from the swelling caused by the snake venom, but he has never recommended this, since the cutting is virtually never necessary and causes permanent damage, including loss of use of hands or feet. Jim Gerholdt of Remarkable Reptiles gave two enthusiastic presentations on the native snakes of this area. He brought along live snakes so people could learn to identify them and tell them apart from rattlesnakes. Eric Thiss of Lanesboro also brought captive timber rattlesnakes, demonstrating how they vary in color. A few really serious folks braved the heat, mosquitoes and a very steep bluff outside of Houston on private property to see rattlesnake habitat and hopefully see some wild snakes, led by DNR personnel. But they came back very sweaty and tired having seen one garter snake, and with just a couple of shed skins from other snake species, without having seen any rattlesnakes. The event was rounded out with hilariously fun snakethemed cookies and treats, used snake and other books, and several snake crafts for the young and young at heart.

October 1, 2020. If there is no need to obtain a REAL ID at this time, state officials are suggesting that residents wait to apply unless they need to change their name or address, or renew their current license. This will help ease the transition to the new card and reduce wait times. A pre-application feature will allow Minnesotans to enter a significant portion of their driver’s license or ID card application online – including REAL ID applications - reducing the time spent in driver’s license offices. An online tool to help Minnesotans decide which of the state’s three license options best meets their needs: a standard driver’s license or ID card, a REAL ID-compliant license
or ID card, or an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) or ID card (EID). For additional information and what documents you will need to bring with you, go to: https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/ real-id/Pages/default.aspx.

MANUFACTURING Continued from Page 25
manufacturers have hired an additional 1.3 million workers. There are 7.98 million and 4.77 million workers in durable and nondurable goods manufacturing, respectively. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics) In 2017, the average manufacturing worker in the United States earned $84,832 annually, including pay and benefits. The average worker in all nonfarm industries earned $66,847. Looking specifically at wages, the average manufacturing worker earned more than $27 per hour, according to the latest figures, not including benefits. (Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bureau of Labor Statistics) Manufacturers have one of the highest percentages of workers who are eligible for health benefits provided by their employer. Indeed, 92 percent of manufacturing employees were eligible for health insurance benefits in 2015, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. This is significantly higher than the 79 percent average for all firms. Of those who are eligible, 84 percent actually participate in their employer’s plans, i.e., the take-up rate. Three are only two other sectors – government (91 percent) and trade, communications and utilities (85 percent) that have higher take-up rates. (Source: Kaiser Family Foundation) Manufacturers have experienced tremendous growth over the past couple decades, making them more “lean” and helping them become more competitive globally. Output per hour for all workers in the manufacturing sector has increased by more than 2.5 times since 1987. In contrast, productivity is roughly 1.7 times greater for all nonfarm businesses. Note that durable goods manufacturers have seen even greater growth, almost tripling its labor productivity over that time frame. To help illustrate the impact to the bottom line of this growth, unit labor costs in the manufacturing sector have fallen 8.4 percent since the end of the Great Recession, with even larger declines for durable goods firms. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics) Over the next decade, nearly 3½ million manufacturing jobs will likely be needed, and 2 million are expected to go unfilled due to the skills gap. Moreover, according to a recent report, 80 percent of manufacturers report

a moderate or serious shortage of qualified applicants for skilled and highly-skilled production positions. (Source: Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute) Exports support higher-paying jobs for an increasingly educated and diverse workforce.Jobs supported by exports pay, on average, 18 percent more than other jobs. Employees in the “most trade-intensive industries” earn an average compensation of nearly $94,000, or more than 56 percent more than those in manufacturing companies that were less engaged in trade.(Source: MAPI Foundation, using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis) Over the past 25 years, U.S.manufactured goods exports have quadrupled. In 1990, for example, U.S. manufacturers exported $329.5 billion in goods. By 2000, that number had more than doubled to $708.0 billion. In 2014, it reached an all-time high, for the fifth consecutive year, of $1.403 trillion, despite slowing global growth. With that said, a number of economic headwinds have dampened export demand since then, with U.S.-manufactured goods exports down 6.1 percent in 2015 to $1.317 trillion. (Source: U.S. Commerce Department) Manufactured goods exports have grown substantially to our largest trading partners since 1990, including to Canada, Mexico and even China. Moreover, free trade agreements are an important tool for opening new markets. The United States enjoyed a $12.7 billion manufacturing trade surplus with its trade agreement partners in 2015, compared with a $639.6 billion deficit with other countries. (Source: U.S. Commerce Department) Nearly half of all manufactured goods exports went to nations that the U.S. has free trade agreements (FTAs) with. In 2015, manufacturers in the U.S. exported $634.6 billion in goods to FTA countries, or 48.2 percent of the total. (Source: U.S. Commerce Department) World trade in manufactured goods has more than doubled between 2000 and 2014—from $4.8 trillion to $12.2 trillion. World trade in manufactured goods greatly exceeds that of the U.S. market for those same goods. U.S. consumption of manufactured goods (domestic shipments and imports) equaled $4.1 trillion in 2014, equaling about 34 percent of global trade in manufactured goods.

Candidate forum to focus on rural issues Voters can learn Minnesota House candidates’ views on agriculture and rural issues at a forum Wednesday October 10 at the St. Charles Community Center, 830 Whitewater Avenue, St. Charles. Sponsored by the Southeast Minnesota Ag Alliance, the

tions. Invited candidates are from the following Minnesota House districts: 26B, 27B, and 28B. The forum is open to the public. It will also be broadcast on KFIL 1060 AM Thursday the 11th from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Houston County to recieve state disaster assistance State Representative Greg Davids (R-Preston) learned recently that the Governor’s Office has authorized the use of funds from the State Disaster Assistance Contingency Account for emergency relief in Houston County. “This is fantastic news as Houston County has been devastated
by torrential rains,” Davids said. “I’m very pleased this funding is on its way.” Davids said Houston County will receive $529,363 in State Disaster Assistance after heavy rainfall flooded the area in late August. Aid from the Contingency
Account will reimburse Houston County for public infrastructure repairs and clean-up costs. Under Minnesota law, Davids said the State will reimburse 75% of eligible costs for public infrastructure repairs and clean-up, with local governments responsible for covering the remaining 25%.

Works, of Dundas, Minn., for annual maintenance of the lift station. The contract included a three-year term, locking in the rate, with no listed contingencies for rate adjustment. The cost was quoted as $468.75 per inspection with one inspection done per year. The only additional fees that may be charged include $175 if confined space entry is needed and emergency calls and repairs. “I thought it was good to lock it in at this price with the way everything else is changing down there,” noted Public Works Supervisor Travis Scheck. “The price was considerably better than we’d had in the past,” added Mayor Gordon Johnson. “With something like this, it’s not like you have a lot of options either.” Scheck noted he’d attempted to secure quotes from another other company, but received little to no response. Each annual inspection will include a detailed checklist for the city, something that was not provided by previous companies. Scheck added that Minnesota Pump Works had provided good communication and may be able to assist with interim replacement should pumps go down. “The scope is pretty well cov-
ning/zoning items were briefly detailed by Zoning Administrator Jon Pettit. These included minor home repair, driveway improvement, installation of outdoor wood-burning furnace, and a new garage. Bigger projects included the replacement of a home on a property and a new home in the newly developed Eide subdivision in the eastern portion of the city. The only council comments revolved around whether or not the wood burner was correctly tagged and clarifying that the Village does not have specific guidelines for city versus rural properties. There was brief discussion of the Benson Lane project with Scheck noting it was scheduled to be underway by the third week in October. The Rushford Village Council was invited to attend a groundbreaking for Acentek’s internet expansion project. The groundbreaking was held October 3, at 10 a.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, October 16, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The subsequent meeting will be held Tuesday, November 13, also at 7 p.m. It was moved to the second Tuesday of that month due to elections the first Tuesday. The public is encouraged to attend all city meetings.

Let’s All Go Five
On Thursday, September 27, three county volleyball teams went the distance, two in a rare way. Rushford-Peterson, in its second meeting with D-E (this time of the conference variety), led 2-0 only for the Eagles to force a fifth game. R-P took the rubber-set for a 3-2 win (25-10, 25-23, 28-30, 23-25, 15-8). Lauren Lawston (18 kills, 14 digs), Peyton Hoiness (26 assists, 21 digs), Jaelyn Connaughty (19 assists, 13 digs, 3 aces), Kaleah Davis (10 kills), Kaitlyn Bieberdorf (10 kills), Kjersta Hinz (8 kills), Alyvia Eide (25 digs), and Lakyn Rasmussen (12 digs) all got in on the action. After a 3-5 start, R-P has gone 9-4. Nikki Schultz’s crew is now 5-3, 12-9. The Trojans are already two wins ahead of last year (10-17). In Rochester, Houston led Schaeffer Academy 2-0 only for the Lions to force a game five. Houston took the last set for the 3-2 win (2725, 25-21, 28-30, 19-25, 16-14). Jenny Albrecht (19 kills, 10 digs), Ariel Scanlan (13 kills, 16 assists, 21 digs), Alyssa Rostad (9 kills, 12 digs), Casey Porter (25 assists, 12 digs), Gretchen Hill (16 digs), and Emma Geiwitz (6 kills) did work for the ‘Canes. Brianna Meyer’s group (6-3, 9-6) is also two wins better than last year (7-14). The up-two-nothing-win-three-two finishes were a rarity. From 2015 to 2018, 37 matches involving FCJ covered teams went to five. FCJ squads never led 2-0 and won 3-2. Meanwhile, Lanesboro took the more normal path to a five-set win. LeRoy-Ostrander took two of the first three sets only for the Burros to sneak out game four and take game five for their first SEC win (25-19, 16-25, 20-25, 26-24, 15-9). Sophomore Sydney Tay-

The Falcons (6-0, 11-6) are tied with W-K (6-0, 13-4) ahead of Caledonia (5-1, 10-6) in the TRC. M-C volleyball won its two SEC matches, as Maddy Michels had a team-best 20 total kills.
