LaVerne Paulson retires from recycling center

“Think of your grandchildren. They’re going to appreciate what you do.” That’s one of LaVerne Paulson’s favorite sayings and one he uses frequently. Paulson, a long-time Preston resident and active member of the community, officially retired from his position at the Fillmore County Recycling Center on October 6 after working there for 10 years. Before that, he was a teacher at Fillmore Central for 35 years, taught Driver’s Ed for 40 years, and served as an EMT on the Preston Ambulance Service for 20 years.

Harmony teen earns distinguished Eagle Scout rank By Barb Jeffers
Aaron Terbeest, with his first shipment from the hatchery, has opened Kedron Valley Farm in rural Spring Valley, which offers fresh Minnesota grown shrimp to local residents. Photos submitted ture to help maintain water quality.” It is vitally important to keep oxygen in the water, which like in an aquarium means that the water needs to be constantly in motion. The process of moving this idea to a viable business was quite involved. “We researched shrimp farming for about a year; on our own, attending seminars in Iowa, touring other indoor shrimp farms, and hiring a consultant as well,” says Aaron. After a final decision to move forward with their plans, Aaron, Janet, and Larry began making
logistic headway. Aaron mentions, “We contacted Morton Buildings to construct the building, since they had experience with building another shrimp building in Lime Springs, Iowa, at Windy Rock Shrimp. Local carpenter, Tom Ramaker built our production tanks. I helped him but Tom made sense of the plans we received from our consultant and made some useful alterations to the design as well.” Even though work began in September 2016, several conSee KEDRON Page 5

After years of working toward his goal, Matthew Gregg, of Harmony, Minn., reached the highest advancement rank in Boy Scouting on May 27, 2017, when he became an Eagle Scout. Matthew, 18, the son of Ron and LeAnn Gregg, started in Cub Scouts in first grade and, as his family is very active in scouting, he was also very interested. After a few years he made the decision that he wanted to become an Eagle Scout. In fact, Matthew is the thirteenth member of the Gregg family to become an Eagle Scout. Ron became an Eagle Scout in 1973 when he was only 13 years old and remembers working very hard to accomplish the rank.

for generations!
“All of Ron’s brothers have Eagles, his cousins all have Eagles and his nephews have Eagles,” states LeAnn. Matthew’s older brother, Andrew, became an Eagle Scout in 2013. In order to receive the Eagle Scout rank you have to earn merit badges through camp or conventions, according to Matthew. “If you get merit badges you rank higher and higher,” he explains, stating, “you have to go through certain ranks,” until the rank of Eagle Scout is achieved. In Boy Scouts the ranks are Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and then finally Eagle Scout. There are certain requirements to reach the rank of Eagle Scout that can be quite daunting. See GREGG Page 16

Since 1901
Have you heard that Kedron Valley Farm is raising shrimp in Southern Minnesota? This should come as no surprise to area residents hearing that Aaron Terbeest, graduate of Kingsland High School in 2004 and Winona State University in 2009 with a degree in psychology, has ventured into a new kind of farming involving the hatching and growing aquatic animals. Fillmore County has a rich history of cultivating areas of water to produce places suitable for marine life to flourish. The Peterson Hatchery beginnings reach back before the turn of the century. The Fish Hatchery in Lanesboro was established in 1925 and the Spring Valley Trout Farm has been involved in the business of providing a positive environment for fish since the 1940s. Kedron Valley Farm actually began in 2015 as an idea when Aaron and his mother, Janet Webb got “carried away after her husband, Larry Webb, read an article about shrimp farming in Iowa,” says Aaron. “We researched many topics such as shrimp production methods, energy efficient building design, and economic feasibility. After careful consideration, we decided to dive in.” The name Kedron Valley Farm was chosen for the business because, “Kedron Creek runs through the pasture north of the building site,” comments Aaron. “Fittingly, Kedron can be translated to dark or torrential, which reflects what the water looks like in our production tanks. The water is the color of tea because of the beneficial bacteria we nur-
He also worked at Berwood Hill Inn as a gardener for a few years after hanging up his hat as a teacher. When Paulson saw advertisement 10 years ago in the paper looking for a replacement for retiree Sandy Benson at the recycling center, he decided to apply. He had retired from teaching a few years before and was looking for something to fill his time beside his gardening job at Berwood Hill Inn. “Why not give it a shot?” he said. During his 12 hours a week working for the recycling center, Paulson was rarely in his office. He spent time visiting church

groups, Kiwanis, schools, the Lions Club, 4-H clubs, and more giving talks and educating people on the importance of recycling and how they could do it. He also drove out to check on the rural recycling containers to see how they were being used, wrote bi-weekly articles for the Fillmore County Journal discussing recycling, answered questions in person and via emails, and wrote grants. The recycling containers at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds and the giant pop bottle shaped containers that can be found at gas stations around the county are all the result of grants that Paulson wrote. “I really enjoyed this job at the county trying to bring recycling rate up, which we have done,” Paulson said. The original goal was to bring the recycling rate up to 35%, which Paulson said has been met and passed. Paulson worked hard to bring more recycling services to Fillmore County. A recent achievement was making it so that plastics labeled as #5, such as yogurt lids, could

be recycled. “We’re trying to keep people from using natural resources when they can reuse something that’s been used before,” Paulson said, adding that it’s important to keep the soil, air, and water as clean as possible. He pointed out how much things have changed since he was a kid, noting that it was safe to burn paper back then, but now, the ink and materials used to make the paper can actually make the smoke toxic and pollute the air. That means that recy-

cling is that much more important. One of Paulson’s favorite parts of his job at the recycling center was meeting and working with people to educate them about recycling. “It kind of goes back to when I was teaching, except we’re teaching adults here.” “As little as possible!” Paulson said when asked what he planned to do with his retirement. He plans to catch up on projects around the house and continue to garden, although he’s cutting back on that, too. He anticipates that most of the traveling he and his wife, who is also a retired teacher, will do, will be to visit their son and his family in Kansas. Out of the many jobs he’s worked, Paulson’s favorite will always be teaching. “I liked being around the
kids and watching them learn,” he said. Paulson plans to continue to educate people on recycling even
though he’s retired. “I’m not going to make a pest of myself, but if I get the chance, I’ll mention something,” he said, smiling.

Letter about Rebuttal on Jeff Erding’s essay on technocrats... To the Editor, Mr. Erding is quite disturbed that we in America now have unruly people protesting. I assume he is including the Tea Party of a few years past in his criticism. He then states there is a worldwide effort by mega rich wealthy elitists to achieve world domination. Again I assume he is including the Koch brothers, mega corporations too large to fail and the one percenters. He goes on to state that scientists exploring the effect of our manmade environment and green-
house gasses on the environment is a hoax and ultra leftist mega rich technocrats are advancing such an agenda toward world domination. The question is should those ultra leftist mega rich technocrats not get involved in past DDT banning, agent orange, lead-based water testing in Flint, Mich., and maybe even include the conservative view of not getting America involved in World War II. Trying to put people into one defined group as leftist mega technocrats is pure bunk. Jack Bratrud Preston, MN
Giving thanks for small town churches at Lenora on October 15 The Lenora Pioneer Church Society invites you and your friends to a special service of worship service October 15 at 3 p.m. at the historic Lenora United Methodist Church located in rural Canton, Minn. We will lift up and celebrate the mission and ministry of small town and rural churches, who have much to offer in mission and ministry in our world today despite the challenges some face. The historic Lenora United Methodist Church represents the rich heritage of Christian ministry in rural SE Minnesota. Begun by Circuit Rider John Dyer in 1856, Lenora remains dedicated to the Good News of the Christian faith. On Sunday, October 15, people are invited to the Editorial Cartoon
old church to celebrate and give thanks for the ministries of small town and rural churches in our area. Persons in attendance will sing songs accompanied by Nancy Dahly on the pump organ and Rev. Mark Woodward will give a message titled “A Big Message in a Small Package.” People are invited to continue bringing health and hygiene items for hurricane relief through United Methodist committee on Relief (UMCOR). An offering will be received for the ongoing work and ministry of the historic church. Also, an important announcement will be made about a very special musical presentation coming to Lenora on November 5 at 2 p.m. Curious? Stay tuned….
What do you do all day? By Yvonne Nyenhuis The hardest thing I do is wake up in the morning. I figure I know how Lazarus felt when he was raised from the dead! As I struggle to become conscious, I Yvonne pass through Nyenhuis a field of dreams inhabited by shadowy figures. One morning as I woke I heard a jingle of female voices singing a happy little song. (Did I mention I watch too much television?) It seems even my dreams are accompanied by commercials! Once my feet make it to the floor I get serious about getting dressed and making the bed. Then I head for the kitchen where I drop a couple of pieces of cinnamon raisin bread into the toaster and fill my cup with coffee. Glenn, my husband, who is an early riser has a pot of hot coffee waiting. With coffee and toast in hand I head for my armchair in the living room by the north window and reach for the remote. With the press of a button the outside world is invited into my living room. I’m brought up to date with the earthquake in Mexico, forest fires in California and the hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, Maria in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the American Virgin islands. The devastation faced by the citizens of these areas is beyond comprehension. Also in the news is concern about the nuclear threat imposed by North Korea. Kim Jong Un is unlikely to modify his agenda. He represents a serious threat to our country
and the world. Cultural issues continue to hover on the horizon. Team members of the AFL are being chastised by the President for demonstrating for civil rights at their games. “What do I do all day?” It seems we have a bumper crop of apples this fall. My husband keeps piling up bags of apples in the kitchen. He has dedicated himself to picking up the windfall in our neighbors’ yards. I have two frozen apple pies in the freezer, bags of sliced apples frozen, apple sauce and apple juice, not to mention spice cake embellished with chunks of apples. I write letters. One friend mentioned to me in a letter that she was afraid she is “losing it!” I was able to assure her she is okay. I told her, “If you find yourself packing the remote for your television set in your suitcase when going on a trip, you’re in trouble! Otherwise you don’t have to worry!” On a routine visit to the doctor I asked him if he had a pill to “cure” old age? (Big Pharma has a pill for everything else — pain, anxiety, depression, constipation. Why not produce a pill to reverse the process of aging?) As it is, I see old age as a pre-existing condition. I read. On weekends I watch authors being interviewed about books they wrote. Eric Metaxas discussed his book If You Can Keep It. He reminds

If we wish to remain a free society we need to be informed and engaged in the process of governing. Recently I enjoyed an interview with Hillary Clinton where she talked about her book What Happened? She expresses her feelings and thoughts with a candidness that is refreshing. She has spent her adult life in service to our country. Her understanding of issues, her knowledge of affairs at home and abroad is unrivaled in our political history. I play Scrabble with my neighbor who routinely beats me. I do however play well enough “to keep her on her toes!” I look forward each month to writing a commentary for the Journal. I believe the Opinion page offers an opportunity for conversation.

struction delays did not allow for its completion until late January 2017. “With construction completed,” says Aaron, “we contacted the DNR for a site inspection so we could get our aquaculture license. It took over three months to complete this process, since the DNR was beginning the reapplication process for existing fish farms in Minnesota and they get first priority.” The Terbeest-Webb farming family got their first stock in early May, which was about five months later than what they were expecting, so they “were quite eager to get these animals growing!” Researching their business involved many hours of research into the shrimp farming commerce. “Shrimp is the most consumed seafood in the U.S. At about four pounds per person every year,” states Aaron. “Over
90% of this shrimp is imported and many of these shrimp farms rely on banned antibiotics, and little or no environmental regulations, even slave labor to operate. These are some of the costs you don’t see when you’re enjoying cheap shrimp from the supermarket or an all-you-can-eat buffet.” Aaron continues, “Wild-caught shrimp is better from a food safety standpoint but often times these shrimp are caught by trawling the ocean floor with a football field sized net destroying the natural habitat.” Since people everywhere enjoy eating shrimp, this young man is interested in providing local communities with a fresh, wholesome, sustainable seafood. However, Aaron’s decision to become a shrimp farmer in an area where large bodies of water are rare goes beyond building a profitable business for himself. Several reasons exist, “One, is to let small farmers/producers know that aquaculture (even marine aquaculture) is a viable crop for
Monday, October 9, 2017 them,” states Aaron. “Aquaculture is growing aquatic animals under controlled conditions, usually for the purpose of being food. Our specific type of culture is known as Biofloc Technology. In a nutshell, we culture beneficial bacteria which provides a small level of nutrition, but primarily helps maintain a low level of nitrogen in the water. Nitrogen can kill shrimp.” This conservation technique also allows Kedron Shrimp Farm to reuse water for multiple crop cycles. The system operates with about 30,000 gallons of water. The shrimp are fed a commercial feed designed for shrimp being grown at high stocking densities. Aaron explains, “The biofloc contributes some nutrition as well. Our shrimp shed their exoskeleton every few days in order to grow; these molts can be eaten but the newly molted shrimp are in danger of being eaten, too. At times, molts will accumulate or the biofloc can form a mat on top
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
of the water and we may need to “crop the floc.” We’ll skim some of the floc or molts from the surface, dry them out, and fertilize the garden with the remainder.” When asked if he had any concerns about beginning this business of shrimp farming, Aaron commented, “Our biggest concern is with getting stock, known as post-larvae or PLs, from the only two nurseries in the country and both of them were in hurricane areas. Hurricane Harvey hit one located in Rockport and Taft, Tex., and Irma hit the other nursery located in the Florida Keys. We haven’t heard back from the Texas nursery but the Florida nursery is hoping to be shipping again at the end of October.” A larger majority of people are demanding to know from where their food is coming. “Our shrimp, (save for a brief 10-14 day infancy in Florida), have spent their life in Minnesota, inside a building built specifically for them, without being exposed to any pesticides, chemicals, or antibiotics,” remarks Aaron. Kedron Shrimp Farm offers their “fresh, never frozen, head-on, tail-on, premium Pacific White Shrimp raised in Minnesota” for $20 per pound. Raising shrimp indoors is expensive and challenging. The need to ship in artificial sea salt, maintain the consistency of the water (ideally, 86 degrees) and also pay attention to the pump/blower for aeration, keeps the family busy. “The shrimp will start to die within twenty minutes if aeration fails,” mentions Aaron. “I am grateful for the help of my sister, Dani Terbeest and her boyfriend, Shawn Reichstadt, who
Page 5
have been an enormous help with activities on the farm, helping with many building projects, mixing seawater, transferring shrimp to different tanks, water quality testing, and harvesting.” One amazing fact about these crustaceans is that shrimp can jump. Aaron muses, “If their first goal in life is to taste fantastic, then their second goal is to jump. We heard about their jumping ability doing our research, but it doesn’t really prepare you for when it happens.” Aaron describes this impressive feat saying, “We have netting around the tanks about 30 inches high. Even so, a week ago, I saw a shrimp jump three feet straight into the air. As he got higher, my jaw went lower and I told my mom, “We’re gonna need a taller net!” The family has been selling only at the Rochester Downtown Farmers Market and find it interesting to see the reaction people have when they tell them that the “Fresh Shrimp” sign advertises shrimp which are not up from the Gulf, but from their own tanks 25 miles away near Spring Valley. “I’ve been speaking with Rusty and Tanner Hellickson at the Valley Butchery and Meat Market about distributing our shrimp,” concludes Aaron. “We’re still checking on any necessary permitting and other details, but both the butchery and our company are excited about the possibility of a local partnership.” For more information on Kedron Shrimp Farm and purchasing Minnesota Fresh Shrimp, contact Aaron Terbeest at (507) 951-3675 or email him at aaront@kedronvalleyfarm.com.

Fillmore County Sports By Paul Trende sports@fillmorecountyjournal.com It is probably unprecedented. Four neighboring school districts, four former SEC teams The Trende from 20 Report years ago, Spring Grove (#1 in 9-man), RushfordPe t e r s o n (#1 in A), Caledonia (#1 in AA), and HousPaul Trende ton (#3 in 9-man) all are ranked top three in state. Adding Winona High (#1 in AAAA), four #1 ranked football teams in state are in the same tri-county area. Three are set for huge week six clashes, thanks to taking care of business in week five. Trojans Stay Perfect, Await Goodhue It was a tussle, but R-P stayed unblemished (4-0) by beating Cotter (2-2). Davin Thompson’s Trojans trailed once, 7-0. It was back-and-forth for three quarters (7-7, 14-7, 14-13, 21-13, 21-20), Trojans ahead. Cotter scored late in the third and converted to pull even at 28. But Ethan Sense, the man of the night, immediately broke off a 64-yard run. He capped the series with
a short scoring burst (35-28). Cotter went three-and-out. R-P drove again, Sense feeling and smelling his way to a fourth TD. Cotter couldn’t recover. R-P prevailed 42-28. The 5’7” 160pound junior tailback, Sense, carried a major load; 34-216, 4 TDs rushing. Landon Skalet (6-9, 113 yards, TD passing) and Jake Paulson (4-90, TD receiving, interception, 6-6 PATs) continued their connection. Ethan Hermanson had a 6-yard first quarter TD run. Dawson Dahl was credited with 14 solo tackles. And thus it is set; from Ben Niggle Complex, R-P (#1 in Class A, 5-0) will host co-MidSoutheast/East leader Goodhue (#5 in Class A, 5-0) in a huge week six match-up. The Wildcats beat #7 in Class A Blooming Prairie 35-13 in week five. Hurricanes Crush Rockets, Await SG Houston (4-0) churned its way to another win, taking the long drive to Randolph (3-1) and surging over the Rockets 56-8. For a second straight week, a trio of double-H rushers eclipsed 100-yards. Joey Fishel (28-147, 4 TDs rushing) had the biggest night. Jaytin Millen (12-105 rushing) and Zach Schneider (10-104, 2 TDs rushing) also hit the century mark. Brady Happel (6-33 rushing; 2-39 receiving) also put up yardage. Aaron Francis and Alex
Van Gundy each added rushing TD’s. Cody Hungerholt’s group has amassed 1,884 rushing yards through five games (376.8 per) with 30 ground scores. Week six big game number two is set; from Houston, the Hurricanes (5-0, #3 in 9-Man) will host South-East co-district leader Spring Grove (5-0, #1 in 9-Man).
Falcons Clip Knights, Near TRC Showdown
It has been a couple years since Fillmore Central volleyball was the Three Rivers heavyweight. In 2013 and 2014, the Falcons won back-to-back undefeated league titles on the way to back-to-back section title games. After a two year lull of still-good-but-notthe-best, FC is tiptoeing toward (hoping for) the later. Travis Malley’s Falcons won two more league matches to move to 8-0 in the TRC. La Crescent was an easy 3-0 fell (25-10, 25-10, 25-9). The Falcons have what few in the TRC have; balanced hitting. Kaelyn Marzolf (12 kills, 4 aces), Cailey Rindels (10 kills, 15 digs), and Paige Donlinger (8 kills, 11 digs, 5 aces) did their normal work up front, the latter two playing all the way around. Madison Scheevel tallied 36 assists. FC then took on resurgent Kingsland, a battle of the TRC co-leading team (FC) and the TRC’s leading hitter (Lauren Buchholtz). It proved one of the best TRC matches this year. Game one had the Knights up early (14-9), but a three ace, seven-point Donlinger serving session, flipped the score (17-14). FC held for the 25-20 win. Game two was tied eight times before FC went ahead 20-17. The lead was 22-19 when Kingsland sandwiched two Buchholtz kills around four FC errors. The 6-1 run gave the Knights a 25-23 win. Buchholtz had six kills in the set. Game three
was controlled by FC. Cailey Rindels had six kills, including one that staved off Kingsland’s closest late nearing (17-16). FC prevailed 25-18. Game four was about Knight senior Kori Kruegel. Five of her six kills came after Kingsland trailed 16-15. Three came in succession and put team double-K up 23-19. They closed for a 25-20 win, sending the match to five games. There, the springy 5’3” Donlinger, FC’s newest offensive weapon, scored four kills in five total points, propelling the Falcons ahead 10-5. Kingsland went to Buchholtz time and again, but FC sent two and three blockers. A Scheevel/ Rindels double-denial sealed the deal. FC stayed perfect in league play with a 3-2 win over the Knights (25-20, 23-25, 25-18, 20-25, 15-9). Three hitters ruled over two. Donlinger (17 kills, 19 digs, 7 aces) led the way. After 24 kills the first four TRC games, Paige has 49 the last four. Marzolf (16 kills, 3 aces) and Rindels (13 kills, 24 digs) also reached double-digit spikes. Rindels has posted a kills/digs double-double, Marzolf double-digit kills, in seven of eight TRC matches. Scheevel had a career-high in helpers (45 assists, 11 digs). K.J. Corson (12 digs) and Katrina Bergey (10 digs) helped with an FC defense that tallied 94 digs. Buchholtz (16 kills, 14 digs) and Kruegel (14 kills, 9 digs) gave the Knights two with double-digit spikes. Nora Jahn added eight with 3 ½ blocks. Ellie Buchholtz had 34 assists. Taylor Zimmerman (17 digs) led the Knights defense. It’s the second straight game Kingsland, once a volleyball underling, has tested a top dog. The Knights (3-4, 10-11), in their first year under Sam Hanley, fell to TRC unbeaten #7 in Class A Caledonia in five sets two days later. It was the fifth four-plus set match for the Knights. Only FC

held Buchholtz under 20 kills. Three of Kingsland’s four league losses have been in five games (to teams with two total league losses). The Knights are a blossoming force. FC (8-0, 13-4) and #7 in A Caledonia (8-0, 14-4) lead the TRC over PEM (5-2, 6-2) and St. Charles (5-2, 8-5). They meet in the TRC season finale October 12.
Cougars Get to 20 Wins
It is about that time in the year when Mabel-Canton volleyball gets to 20 wins. Yep. They did. M-C swept (25-16, 25-13, 25-18) Houston (MC: Dakota Delaney 13 kills; Sarina Stortz 8 kills; Maddy Michels 7 kills; Payton Danielson 11 digs, 29-29 serving, 5 aces; Kenidi McCabe 30 assists, 3 aces; Lexi Thorson/ Hannah Snell 8 digs. H: Becca Lee 4 kills, 9 digs; Ariel Scanlan 13 assists, 10 digs; Jenny Albrecht 4 kills). They also swept (25-9, 25-14, 25-10) Randolph (Delaney 9 kills, 3 blocks; McCabe 28 assists, 4 aces; Avery Davis 7 kills; Savannah Slafter 7 kills; Danielson 10 digs, 4 aces; Thorson 9 digs). A side story is the health of senior leading hitter Savannah Slafter, who nurses a shoulder injury. The #9 in Class A Cougars (10-0, 20-3) lead the SEC-East over SG (9-1, 19-4).

A little of this, A little of that. By Kathy Little I am proud to be a Minnesotan. Our state really gets out the vote and values education. Minnesota is first in the nation on the ACT tests! When I read that fact, my mind wandered back to my school days. I started thinking about former teachers, classmates and hot lunch. Some students think of lunch and recess as the best parts of the day. I didn’t start eating school lunch until seventh grade. My grandparents lived just across the street from the elementary school, so I went there for lunch. I am a picky eater, and my grandmother spoiled me rotten with my favorite foods and pudding for dessert

In retrospect, I realize they had to please many different appetites on a budget. The food was healthy and hot. The menus varied, and everyone had favorites and least favorites. I loved spaghetti, fish sticks, and tator tot hot dish. I hated fried spam with fried potatoes (lots of ketchup made

County asked to approve land acquisitions Public Land would transfer the land to the DNR for the Choice Wildlife Management Area. This property has been owned by the Larson family for generations. Brent Larson, trustee for the five family owners, said the family wants the natural beauty of the land preserved. The family was not interested in subdividing the land. Chairman Randy Dahl asked about the crop land. Tenney said the portion being cropped is highly erodible. Thirty-four acres are in CRP. Ten acres are being used as a stream buffer. The property includes a portion of Maple Creek, a designated trout stream. Tenney said the plan is for the cropped portion to eventually be

The intention is for the land to be purchased primarily using Outdoor Heritage Funds with some funding being contributed by the DNR using Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) funds. The Trust for

seeded with natural prairie plantings. Commissioner Duane Bakke questioned the need for county board approval. McGillivray suggested that due to the use of some RIM funds county board approval is needed. Tenney commented that the county could stop the sale of land in some instances; for example, for public safety. Bakke was concerned that land currently being cropped will be taken out of production, converting it to something other than crop land. Bakke didn’t believe the board should have the right to affect the sale. Dahl noted that some of his family’s land is similar (highly erodible); it is being put into the pollinator program. He was concerned that the land would not be managed well enough to limit the growth of invasive plants like box elder trees. Tenney insisted they will prevent growth of invasive plants. Dahl wanted some assurance that the property could not be sold for other purposes like logging. McGillivray said the land will have a deed restriction that will prevent the sale of the property for another purpose. Payments in lieu of taxes (PILT) would be made to the county, expected to be comparable to property taxes now being collected on the property. County Engineer Ron Gregg noted CSAH 13 runs through the valley. Bridges will need to be replaced on that road in the next five years. He was concerned about getting the necessary right of way from the DNR, citing past experiences with the DNR. Commissioner Mitch Lentz maintained issues with the DNR have made road maintenance difficult in some instances. Maintenance of roads is necessary for public safety. Commissioner Gary Peterson asked about comments from the townships. The townships were notified in early September. Tenney said they have not had any response from the townships. Dahl said he was in favor of the acquisition, citing recent flooding events that have made it difficult even with good crop management to farm highly erodible land. A motion to approve the acquisition failed. Dahl and Commissioner Marc Prestby voted yes. Bakke, Lentz, and Peterson voted no. Bakke voted no because the proposed acquisition included tillable ground, Lentz voted no because of issues with DNR on other road projects, and Peterson voted no because he wanted township input. Tenney said he will be back when it can again be put on the board’s agenda. He will get in touch with the townships to make sure their concerns are addressed and work with County Engineer Gregg on road issues. The second request was for approval of the acquisition of 66 acres from Dean Mikel, Section 2 of Forestville Township. The proposal is for the Nature Conservancy to use Lessard Sam’s Out-

door Heritage Fund to acquire the land and then to donate the land to Minnesota DNR Wildlife. It is to become part of Seven Springs Wildlife Management Area. The county will receive PILT payments. All of this property is non-tillable. A motion to approve passed with Lentz and Dahl opposing. Other business in brief • Dan Larson, Minnesota Rural Counties, addressed the board to encourage them to join the organization. The organization was started in 1997 in the northern part of the state and there is now an effort in this region to build on its membership of 31 rural counties. The organization advocates specifically for rural county concerns. He described several instances when he believes their lobbying efforts paid off for Greater Minnesota. Larson asked the board to consider becoming a member. He insisted no one else advocates for rural concerns. • A request to retire from LaVerne Paulson, Recycling Educator, effective October 6 was approved with thanks for 10 years of service with the county. • Kristina Kohn, Human Resources, described a two-tier health insurance plan. It would offer a plan option with less costly premiums to employees that accept a plan that does not include Mayo Clinic in the network. The second option with higher premiums would include Mayo Clinic in the network. It would be the employee’s choice. There is some risk when the option that does not include Mayo Clinic in network is chosen, if for some reason there is an unexpected health issue that results in a referral to Mayo Clinic for treatment. If this were the case and Mayo Clinic was not in the network, the employee would start at zero on his/her deductible when going to Mayo Clinic. The two-tier plan was approved. The Benefits Committee also recommended that there be a 5% increase in the county’s contribution. This would be an overall budget increase of 4%. All employees
Page 9
would benefit. Kohn noted it still knocks off 3% of the amount that was recently budgeted for health insurance, which was a 7% increase. The board approved the Benefits Committee’s recommendation. Lentz voted no. • The purchase of a new fuel system at the Highway Department for county vehicle use was approved. The low bid from Rochester Petroleum Equipment, Inc. at a cost of $23,749.68 will provide the system for gas vehicles. Ron Gregg said the county will save money buying the fuel in bulk. • A request from Social Services Manager Kevin Olson to allow two more employees to telecommute was approved. The employees are on the Income Maintenance staff. He is working to streamline procedures and become more efficient. • An application for the annual County Veteran Service Officer Office Enhancement Grant in the amount of $10,000 was approved from the Minnesota Department of Veteran Affairs. VSO Jason Marquardt said much of the funds will be used for office technical equipment. No county match is required. • The contract with the city of Ostrander for law enforcement services was approved. The city will pay the county $24,000 per year for the service.

Rushford Village reaffirms decision By Kirsten Zoellner Rushford Village Council has made it clear: the Village Hall is not a commercial property for rent. Inquiries in 2016 and again this year led to several discussions about repeat rental of the community center space, specifically long-term rental. “We’re not set up for that, on a regular basis,” cautioned Councilor Dennis Overland. “There are other places for rent for those purposes.” As it currently stands, the hall may be rented up to one year in advance by any party. Rental waivers must be signed, for liability, and a nominal fee paid. Some small businesses and groups have sought to rent the space weekly or for large blocks of time. The most recent inquiries asked to rent the space once a week for a year and another group every Sunday in November. While Clerk Mary Miner felt the parties would be easy to work with, the council was concerned with repeat rental affecting the ability of residents to rent the space for private parties or special events. “If someone is renting it every week, it takes away the opportunity for others to utilize it,” said Mayor Gordon Johnson. “This is a community service. How do we best manage it?” It was suggested that parties simply contact the Village weekly or monthly to inquire about rental dates, but Overland, referring to earlier talks on the topic, reminded the council that they’d wanted to get away from long-term rental. “If long-term, it’s better if they find someplace else,” added
Overland. “We’re not designed for repeat customers, but for community events.” City Attorney Tom Manion also cautioned against it, noting that problems had arisen in other municipalities. Manion indicated that renters can understand the long-term rental as a contract, which can bring problems stemming from expectations and termination of the rental. Additionally, it can create problems of special treatment. “You may want a policy that’s consistent so you don’t get, ‘Why’d you let them? You’re discriminating against me,’” he warned. It’s expected a policy will be drafted and brought forth for approval at a later date. The council has also approved the appointment of Mayor Johnson and Councilor Overland to the Economic Development Authority (EDA) Committee. The city set up an EDA and a revolving loan fund several years ago, but to date nothing has been done with it. “We’re not actively doing anything,” said Overland. “There’s money in the revolving loan fund. We need to try to resume and see what we can do.” Clerk Miner and Public Works Supervisor Travis Scheck recently attended a meeting put on by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The informational meeting was the first to begin discussion between entities regarding the proposed work on Highway 43 and Highway 30, both of which funnel into the Village. MnDOT is projecting that Highway 43, from Mabel to Rushford, and Highway 30,
from Chatfield to Rushford, will both see mill and overlay in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The topic of culverts in the state right-of-way along Highway 43 in south Rushford was noted, but the state has no current plans to do culvert work. Along Highway 30, however, yellow liners, described as similar to a cast, are being placed in the ditches. Councilor Chad Rasmussen, a MnDOT employee, noted that the liners have a long life span and he believed they were warrantied perhaps up to 100 years. More information will be coming as the project moves closer. Lastly, the council was notified of two dust control applications that were presented to the city for reimbursement. Neither party notified the city of the work. Under city policy, residents wanting reimbursement must contact the city prior to dust control applications. Reimbursements are limited to two per property. “No one was called about it,” said Clerk Miner. The property owners indicated to Miner that the company doing the work was going to call. “That’s not the company’s responsibility,” she added. The city will reimburse the two properties in this instance. Going forward, unless the city is notified directly, prior to application, no reimbursement will be made. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Tuesday, November 7, at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall. The public is encouraged to attend. Please note the second meeting in October has been cancelled.

Root River Revelers concert and community sing in Spring Valley “Sing a Song for America” is a one-day choral experience for singers ages 8-108 to come together in one place to create music and memories as a community. Under the direction of Maria Klingsheim and accompanied by Suzanne Eberle, the repertoire will focus on twopart American folk songs, such as “Oh! Susanna,” “Shenandoah,” “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and more. These songs will be easy enough to learn in an afternoon, but satisfying to sing in a large group. The Revelers will provide music for half of the concert in line with the American theme. Some titles include “I Sing a Song for America,” “Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears” (a perspective of Ellis Island), and “Rocky Top.” We would love to have families participate together. Anyone interested in singing for the October 14, 7 p.m. evening concert should plan to come to the same day rehearsal from 1:30-5:30 p.m. (break times provided) at the Faith United Methodist Church, Spring
Valley, and bring a dish to pass for the supper break. All music materials will be available upon arrival. A concert to feature the Revelers and community singers will be on Saturday, October 14, at 7 p.m. at Faith United Methodist Church in Spring Valley and is open to the public. A freewill offering will be taken. Singers and audience are encouraged to come dressed in red, white, and blue. Root River Revelers is a men’s vocal ensemble that began more than 25 years ago and has regularly provided quality choral music for Fillmore County and the surrounding area for Memorial Day services, Spring Valley’s Christmas on Historic Broadway, and full-length concerts at various venues. If you would like to participate in Sing a Song for America, please contact Maria Klingsheim (507) 429-5457 or klingsheim2013@gmail. com.

Preston discusses options for lowering health insurance costs By Karen Reisner The city of Preston faces a 15% increase in health insurance costs for 2018. Only a 10% increase had initially been figured into next year’s budget. At the October 2 council meeting, City Administrator Joe Hoffman explained the reason for the unexpected increase and possible options to lower health insurance costs in the future. The city purchases health insurance through the Southeast Service Cooperative. This is a pool used by cities and counties in southeast Minnesota and administered by Blue Cross. The city’s premiums go into the pool along with other cities and counties. Hoffman noted that Preston’s claims were down, but claims in
the pool were up. It is a shared risk. Preston has been in both the low cost and the high cost group over time. Sometimes their cost is subsidized by the pool and sometimes they will be subsidizing the pool. This is why Preston’s cost is increasing when the city’s claims didn’t go up. Hoffman explained they could lower costs by reducing benefits. One option would be to adjust the network. Providing a network that does not include Mayo Clinic would reduce premiums. Co-pays could be adjusted to reduce premiums. They could also choose to use a PEIP (nonstate public employee) plan or the private marketplace. These last options could provide tremendous volatility if there is a high cost year.
City employees will see their deductibles increase in 2018; $100 higher for a single and $200 higher for a family. The increases are due to required minimum deductibles by the IRS. Currently, premiums are paid 85% by the city and 15% by employees. Both the city and employees will be paying a 15% increase in their portion of the premium. Mayor Kurt Reicks said any other changes or increases will need to be negotiated with employees. No action was taken. Other business in brief • Jim Bakken, Public Works, presented an estimate from Ironside Trailer Sales in Harmony in the amount of $6,807 for the purchase of a new 9-foot 2-inch
Boss V-plow to be mounted on the 2017 Ford pick-up. A plow that was purchased last year will be mounted on the new Chevy pick-up at a cost of $1,314. Bakken said they still have a V-plow purchased in 2009. Ironside has offered to take the 2009 plow on trade, allowing $2,500 for it. The council approved the purchase of the new plow and the mounting of the plow purchased last year with the 2009 plow trade. The total cost with trade will be $5,621. • Hoffman suggested a committee be formed to discuss some small security upgrades to city hall. He asked that two council members along with a utility commission member serve on the committee to review the proposal and make a recom-

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on October 2 in Minnesota have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.15/g in 2016, $2.31/g in 2015, $3.23/g in 2014, $3.30/g in 2013 and $3.84/g in 2012.

3.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.29/g. Twin Cities- $2.39/g, down 2.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.41/g. "For a third straight week, the majority of states saw average pump prices for gasoline fall as refineries affected by Hurricane Harvey in late August continued to show signs of being on the mend," said Dan McTeague, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. "All the more remarkable when you consider that oil prices, which rose over $5 a barrel in September, did not prevent gasoline prices from declining and that momentum is likely to continue with another decrease for the week ahead." "Though last week witnessed pump price increases in the Great Lakes, this can be traced to the price cycling behavior of the region, which means these states will see prices fall to start the week. Nationwide, many drivers continue to express frustration that the decreases aren’t reflecting pre-Harvey pump prices. As noted last week by Patrick DeHaan, Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy, "it will take weeks or months to see gasoline inventories recover fully, but prices will continue slowly drift lower as inventories improve."

Courthouse parking lots, the Fillmore County Fairgrounds and the elementary school in Preston. In addition to the community project you have to earn 21 merit badges, states LeAnn. Twelve of these merit badges are required, such as Emergency Preparedness, First Aid, Environmental Science, Personal Management and Cooking. A few of the other nine merit badges Matthew chose to earn to meet his goal of Eagle Scout were Fish and Wildlife Management, Public Health, Fire Safety, Leatherwork and Fingerprinting. Matthew says the favorite badges he earned were swimming and canoeing because they are water sports, which he enjoys. He also had a great time working toward his Environmental Science badge, as he says, “We actually went out on hikes to see if
we know certain animals” and in addition to that, “there was a huge room full of different animals that you could learn about and get to know and there was information about them,” he says. Matthew earned his Cooking Badge and he says, “I can cook still today — I have been learning recipes!” He enjoys cooking so much that he has recently asked for a blender for his birthday, to which his mom smiled and replied, “No kid ever asks for that” for their birthday! Matthew has many terrific memories from his time in Cub Scouts, through Boy Scouts and now to the rank of Eagle Scout. He has met many people and has had many experiences that he otherwise would not have. “Only about 3% of the scouts that actually participate in the program get the Eagle Scout,”
notes Ron, which makes them proud parents for the hard work and determination that Matthew has shown to achieve this impressive accomplishment. “I have a lot of people that helped me through this,” notes Matthew, adding that it was good to rely on them through the process. Matthew’s family supported him in his efforts and had words of encouragement along the way. Matthew also points out that Andy Lieb, Assistant Scout Master for Gamehaven Council, was a great help to him, saying Lieb was very helpful and encouraged him to keep going toward his goal. When Matthew was asked what is something he learned through his years in the Boy Scouts of America program that he will use in his everyday life, his answer was, “Do a good turn daily,” which is a slogan of the Boy Scouts.

The whole place is Ace
Todd Jones welcomes all to check out the new Ace Hardware store in Spring Valley. Photo by Rick Wicks By Rich Wicks Todd Jones knows hardware. It’s in his blood. His family ran the hardware store in Spring Val-
ley since 1965, and for many years it operated as a Coast to Coast Hardware store, then due to a merger became a True Value
Monday, October 9, 2017 store. Todd took over the family business in 2003, and in 2013 the store moved to the current location at 630 North Pleasant in Spring Valley (next to Kwik Trip and the Valley Meat Locker). In June of this year, the store officially became an Ace Hardware store, and Todd explained that, although he has had a good experience with True Value over many years, “True Value and Ace have been running neck and neck through the years. I think Ace has started to pull away from them a little bit. They went a little harder hitting toward the national advertising, and I think it’s gotten to be more of a namebrand thing… So they’ve been after me for about three years, and last year I finally started to give it some consideration. Their big thing was cheaper cost of goods, cheaper freight rate, and Craftsman tools.” Todd says he attended an Ace Hardware event at which he got to speak with a number of store owners who have switched to Ace, and, “There wasn’t one of them that had a bad word to say about switching to Ace.” So he decided to make the changeover. Todd says the major challenge was remaining open while suddenly pulling out all of the True Value items, and swapping them out with Ace products. Thankfully, Todd says a neighboring business owner, Tim Warren, came to his rescue. Tim allowed Todd to use Tim’s truck docks to store about 250 large totes full of True Value
FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL
merchandise. Without that help, Todd says he doesn’t know what he would have done. He also told of the videos that Ace made of his store, showing the complete changeover of merchandise and store layout. Drones with video recorders were used in the store, to create a visual record of the sudden changes. When asked what are the major differences in the store, Todd pointed out that Ace focuses very strongly on customer service. He also mentioned the “Learning Place” program, in which Ace employees are able to complete online trainings to become more knowledgeable about various parts of their jobs. Todd added that as an Ace store, he offers key cutting, blade sharpening, rental of carpet machines and other equipment, computerized paint color matching, glass and
Page 21
screen repair, hunting and fishing licenses, propane exchange, and a wide variety of hardware merchandise. He said often when customers come in look for an unusual nut or bolt or widget, they’re surprised to find that the store has it, even after searching unsuccessfully at one of the huge hardware stores in a larger city. Todd pointed out that this time of year, he expects to sell a lot of fall and winter items (rakes, leaf bags, window insulation kits, shovels, ice melt, etc.), and added that although he only keeps a small stock of snowblowers on hand, he can usually offer them at prices that compete favorably against the huge stores. Todd and his seven employees welcome you to come in and see the new layout and new merchandise, or even just to say “howdy.”

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: Can you talk about the law that covers a driver’s ability to watch a movie, video or broadcast on a cellphone, tablet or computer while driving? Troy H. What if the Christianson passenger is in possession of the device? Answer: Minnesota state law says that a television screen shall not be installed or used in any motor vehicle where images from the screen are visible to the driver while operating the motor vehicle. Exceptions to the law include; video screens installed in law enforcement vehicles, closed-circuit video systems used exclusively to aid driver’s visibility to the front, rear, or sides of the vehicle and video screens installed as part of a vehicle control system or used in intelligent vehicle highway applications. Each year in Minnesota, distracted or inattentive driving is a factor in one in four crashes, resulting in at least 70 deaths and 350 serious injuries. The Office of Traffic Safety estimates these numbers are vastly underreported due to law enforcement’s challenge in determining distraction as a crash factor. The numbers show that not every driver is getting the message to be attentive while behind the wheel. Too many people are being killed and seriously injured because drivers are distracted. Today’s technology makes it easy to stream video and live broadcasts through your cellphone, tablet and computer. These devices reduce a driver’s ability to be 100% attentive to their primary task of driving, which increases their risk of crashing. Watching a movie or streaming live TV, for passengers, can help pass the time on long trips, but be sure that this is only visible to passengers. While many motorists may perceive driving as a routine activity, attentive driving is critical. The traffic environment changes constantly and drivers must be prepared to react. Law enforcement is committed to reducing these preventable crashes. Please help us reduce crashes on our roadways by putting away all cellphones, tablets and computers while driving. Passengers can do their part by making sure their devices can’t be seen by the driver. You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths. A portion of state statutes were used with permission from the Office of the Revisor of Statutes. If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota send your questions to Sgt. Troy Christianson – Minnesota State Patrol at 2900 48th Street NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901-5848. Or reach him at Troy.Christianson@state.mn.us. Twitter:MSPPIO_SOUTH.

Fountain able to dissolve plan with Pollution Control
The Fountain Council discusses dissolution of its corrective action plan work the MPCA. Pictured, clockwise from left, are Councilors David Gudmundson, Jim Schott, and Brian Ostby, Mayor Richard Kujath, Clerk Rhonda Flattum, and Preston Police Sargeant Blaise Sass. Photo by Kirsten Zoellner By Kirsten Zoellner The City of Fountain received some welcome news at the Wednesday, October 4 council meeting. After achieving six consecutive months of compliance at the wastewater treatment plant, the city has the option to dissolve it’s corrective action plan with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). A meeting was recently held between representatives from the city and the state agency. In attendance from the city were Mayor Richard Kujath, Councilor Brian Ostby, Clerk Rhonda Flattum, along with Rick Whitney, of PeopleService — the firm assisting with mitigating plant issues — and engineer Richard Parr, of WSB.
“According to a stipulation in the agreement, we can dissolve it if we want to,” stated Flattum. Dissolution would end additional items of follow-up, quarterly reports from the city, and the required action plan. “We don’t have to decide now, but it’s out there.” “There’s no sense in having it,” said Kujath. “We have to stay in compliance. The engineering done on it [action plan] will still be at the engineering office in case something comes up. We have some leniency if we report it right away.” “It surprises me. Rick got it in compliance and no one else could,” added Councilor David Gudmundson of the PeopleService representative.
The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.
Kujath noted that a substantial amount of MicroC, a treatment method, is being dumped into the system. Due to cost, the city may try a similar, more costeffective treatment. Councilor Chad Wangen was vocal about his disappointment that only a fraction of the council met with MCPA. “If we’re gonna have a meeting as a whole, we should have a meeting as a whole, not behind the council’s back so the papers can’t be there.” Ostby responded, “We don’t have a choice,” before noting he and Kujath had always represented the council. He stated he assumed that’s why the agency asked to meet with them. “We discussed, as a whole council, to have it. We didn’t get the full option. We didn’t even know about it,” countered Wangen. Councilor Jim Schott also indicated he thought the meeting would be different. “We said we all wanted to have a sit down. It’s done now. Right now, we’re in compliance. I’d hate to upset the apple cart.” “It sounds like they’re backing off,” added Wangen. No formal decision was made on dissolution of the plan. The city is also gearing up for a utility rate increase. Suggested by Parr, the increase would cover increased operational and mitigation improvements to continue compliance at the wastewater treatment plant. “If we find out things aren’t working, we would
need to raise it to justify costs,” said Flattum. It was indicated that rates need to be raised and the main question is the timing of it. It was suggested the rate increase come at the first of the new year. Any rate modification will be directly mailed to residents prior to the change. In other news, the city has begun its contract with the Preston Police Department, as of October 1. Sargent Blaise Sass was on hand at the meeting to discuss the first few days. An awareness in the community of the new policing presence was noted by the council. “We try to stop and visit with people,” said Sass. “We hope we’re able to spread out our time here.” The Department is contracted for both day and night shift rounds in the City of Fountain. There will be a meet and greet with the Preston Police Department Saturday, November 11, from 10:30 a.m. until noon, at city hall. Sass indicated he and Public Works Director John Hanson will be tackling remaining non-compliant properties this week. This comes prior to a deadline for city
properties to be in zoning compliance or face citations. Roughly 11-14 properties were identified by the city. “We’ll let them know one last time,” said Sass. Another notable agenda item approved by the council includes changing primary and general elections polling for city residents from Fountain City Hall to Mail Balloting Option. During the last election, the city spent more than $2,100 in costs and was reimbursed just $273 by the county. “It’s a huge expense for us,” noted Clerk Flattum. The Mail Balloting Option would see a ballot mailed to every eligible city resident, along with instructions and an envelope. Similar to an absentee ballot, the option can be changed back to in-city voting if it doesn’t work for city residents. The county requires just a 90 day notice to opt out. “I can’t imagine people won’t like it,” said Schott. The council approved the resolution to modify the voting unanimously. The next regularly scheduled council meeting is Wednesday, November 1, at 7:30 p.m., at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

The Branding Iron Restaurant opened its doors in Preston in 1970. Steve Bahl began his Branding Iron journey in August of 1971 at the age of 15, starting out as a busboy and eventually becoming a cook. In 1974, Steve went to school for business, while also training to cook, and eventually became lead cook. Steve, his father, Dick Bahl and Dick’s two business partners each purchased 25% ownership of the Branding Iron Restaurant in 1989. Steve became the manager and continued as head cook. In 2016, Dick and Steve bought out the other partners and now own 50% each. As all businesses, the BI has seen its ups and downs in 46 years of business. For the past three years, the business has seen great growth as a result of continued local support, tourism, and the opening of the Southeast Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery. Although the Branding Iron continues to thrive, Steve has decided to retire after 46 years. He is looking forward to passing the iconic small town restaurant to a new owner. Whether they choose to keep the tradition of the family style restaurant or revamp into something new, his hope is that it will continue to serve the Preston area for years to come. Until a new owner takes over, Steve is committed to continuing to provide quality food and service. If your’re interested in leading the Branding Iron Restaurant as the new buyer, contact Realtor Eric Benson.

things I appreciated the most. Visiting the museum makes me assimilate the culture and history of the United States. The best thing I experienced here is trying American food. We cannot deny that most American foods are delicious and mouthwatering. Lastly, I hope to visit and witness the beauty of the Statue of Liberty in New York and the White House in Washington, D.C. By the end of the year, I look forward to have a fun and amazing exchange year. I will never curtail this to a waste but I want to share the erudition I learned here to my community by conducting meetings and seminars. With that being said, they will incorporate enough knowledge on how other culture differs from what they have and how to overcome cultural differences.Lastly, I want to dedicate my exchange year to our beloved city, the Marawi City which was suddenly ruined and devastated by the war between military and rebel groups two months before my arrival in U.S. To my fellow Maranaos who suffered a lot because of the war, this success is for you. Together, let’s rise Marawi. Bangon MARAWI!

forget to have a “mano” with their hands at all times. Mano or Pagmamano is gesture used in Filipino culture which serves as a sign of respect to parents and elders and as a way of accepting a blessing from the elder. As the eldest child, it is my responsibility to inspire my siblings to reach their goals and dreams no matter what happened. I want them to finish their studies because that will be the happiest moment in my life if I saw them successful in their own careers. Like me, I have many goals that I desire to reach in the future. I want to be a successful accountant-lawyer because I want to be a peace advocate. As an advocate of peace, I want to promote that everything starts with peace and that if there is no peace, there will be no success. Aside from that, I want to finish my studies because I want to help my siblings and parents who are always there to support me at all times. In our country, everyone muses to become exchange students and I am one of them. I want to be an exchange student because I want to share my culture and adapt the American culture. I want to promote mutual understanding between different countries by bridging the gap between cultural differences.

Back home, I lived in the small community of Barangay Sunggod in the Municipality of Taraka, Province of Lanao del Sur. I am a Filipino and I belong to the tribe of Maranao, which literally means people of Lake Lanao. I lived in an extended family with my parents, grandmothers, aunts and cousins. I have five siblings — two sisters and three brothers. Our family is simple and happy. My father is a government employee while my mother is a housewife.

exchange student is really challenging. Culture shock is one of the things I really faced here at my first time. At first, I was suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, behavior, and set of attitudes disparate from our own. I have scrutinized irrefutable differences in culture and lifestyle of the Philippines and United States. At school, the students are the ones shifting to each classroom every class period, which is entirely different from ours. In the Philippines, the teachers are likely to be the ones who transfer, not the students. Furthermore, Americans do not prefer rice as their daily food. In the Philippines, rice should never be separated from our meal because it turned out to be a part of our culture. Farmers here also raise corn fields, unlike our country in which our farmers rear rice fields. As time went by, I have experienced new things in U.S. I really relished camping because I was able to spend my time with other people and I had a chance to meet new friends and neighbors. Riding a boat in the river, volunteering in a museum, and kayaking are also some of the

Nightmare in Fountain benefits Semcac Senior Dining in Lanesboro has a new home causes
If scary is your thing, treat yourself to Fountain’s Nightmare on First Street in October. Photo submitted Creating and hosting this six-night event are the Little family of Fountain, Paul Regan, Logan, and Demery. Numerous others help with the presentation of the event. Depending on how quickly you walk through, expect Nightmare to be an approximately 20-minute spooky entertainment experience. The theme this year is Villains Throughout Time and Space. You may find villains from Hannibal Lecter or Saw to Judas or even Pennywise (“It”). Nightmare’s gory glory runs October 20, 21, and 22, and October 27, 28, and 29; 7-10 p.m. each night. Special “lower scare” requests can be made for those who prefer their spookiness with less “pop.” Nightmare on First Street: Field of Screams and Haunted Barn lurks around and behind 609 First Street in Fountain, Minn. Minimum donation requested is $5 per person. Find out more at nightmareonfirststreet.com and Facebook.
The time is nearly ripe for the re-emergence of Fountain’s Nightmare on First Street: Field of Screams and Haunted Barn. For the seventh year, this spooky non-profit fundraiser is set to chill and thrill patrons. Funds raised this year will benefit Good Earth Village, a non-profit leadership center, summer camp, and retreat facility nestled in the bluffs near Spring Valley, Minn., whose volunteers will be helping to run Nightmare. Help may also come from the Chatfield High School Service Club. Each year Nightmare is different from the last. Routes are changed, walls are moved, and details abound. This year the Field of Screams has grown and a whole new building has been added. Hundreds of hours every year go into the metamorphosis of this scary delight. Attendees can expect creepy scenes, hand-carved pumpkins, a labyrinth, screams and moans, surprises and scares, live actors, and maybe even an apparition of DEATH.
Semcac Senior dining has moved. Meals for seniors will now be available at Kenilworth Apartments, 607 Kenilworth Ave South in Lanesboro. Beginning Monday, October 2, meals will be served to senior citizens Monday through Friday each week. Serving time will be at 11:30 a.m. Meal reservations can be made by signing up at the Kenilworth Apartments or by calling the Rushford kitchen at (507) 864-2786 at least one day in advance. Anyone 60 year of age or the spouse of someone age 60 is invited. Meal coupons are needed for dine-in service and are available at the Merchants Bank in Lanesboro for a donation. Meals to homebound seniors are also available by calling the Rushford office at (507) 8648228. Semcac would like to thank the Discovery Faith Community for hosting the senior dining program these past few months.

Lanesboro business owners disagree with proposed parking ordinance By Hannah Wingert “We’ve been here for 29 years, and we’ve done everything that the city has asked us to do, but this is an issue. We need that area to park,” Historic Scanlan House and the Little River General Store owner Kirsten Mensing said in response to the Lanesboro City Council’s proposed parking ordinance. A concern had previously been brought to the council regarding business owners using the parking spaces next to the bike trail to park their commercial vehicles. In response, city attorney Thomas Manion drafted an ordinance restricting commercial vehicles from parking in downtown Lanesboro for the council to review at their October 2 meeting. “I think the main goal of this was to eliminate the overnight parking of commercial vehicles,” Council member Jason Resseman said. “We need to continue
to accommodate them (the business owners.)” Council member Tom Smith felt that by opposing the parking ordinance, the business owners were only hurting themselves. “I think you’re killing your business by using parking spots that customers could be using,” he stated. The business owners present at the meeting did not agree. “We have literally no place left in this town to park our commercial vehicles,” Mensing said, pointing out that nine businesses would be affected by the ordinance if it passed. The council tabled the ordinance for the time being and assured the business owners that a representative from the Parking Committee would meet with them to discuss a solution to the problem. Lori Bakke, chair of the Buffalo Bill Days Committee, reported
that the event had another successful year. Arm wrestling for all ages, a basketball tournament, and a Vietnam Veterans Memorial trailer were all added to the event this year. Despite the sales for the beer tent being down from last year due to the weather, each of the eight volunteer groups still received $650 for their organization. “One of the things that set this town celebration apart from others is that we give back to the community,” Bakke noted. Each year since 2005, the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce has applied for the Dairyland Power Cooperative Tourism Grant to help pay for the tourism guides. Last year, the chamber distributed 26,000 guides. The grant is a matching grant, to which the City of Lanesboro has always donated $400. The chamber asked the council to do so again this year, to which they agreed.
Rob Wagner from the Lanesboro Fire Relief Association asked the council’s permission to allow pull tabs at the High Court Pub in Lanesboro. The council approved the request. The council was updated on the Park Road project. There were some changes made that brought the issuance costs down by $7,500. Estimated costs for the suggested project additions were also presented to the council, which included putting a sidewalk in from the road to the basketball courts, striping on the parking lot, and redoing the sidewalk in front of the community center. The price for adding all three things to the project would come to $16,000. After a discussion, the council decided to delay doing the sidewalk work. The Lanesboro Public Works department will complete the parking lot striping. A time extension request for the Auburn/Zenith project was
received. City Engineer Brian Malm felt that the extension was justified, but recommended that the council not finalize it until closer to the end of the project as other factors such as weather could mean having to redo it later. A pay request in the amount of $224,000 for the Auburn/Zenith project was approved. At last month’s meeting, the council approved a request for a leave of absence from the EDA board from Jason Resseman until January 2018. The EDA requested that the council appoint a member to fill Resseman’s seat until he returns. Nobody from the council was able to step in. A resolution renewing the agreement with MnDOT for the city’s welcome signs was approved by the council. The next Lanesboro City Council meeting will be held on November 6 at 5:30 p.m.
