Lange’s Grocers opening in Mabel! Board and staff discuss Kingsland football By A nnie Lewis

annie@fillmorecountyjournal.com

By R ich Wicks rich@fillmorecountyjournal.com

The status of the Kingsland football program was a main topic during the Kingsland School Board’s monthly “work session” November 5, with all members present (Doug Plaehn, Ann Oeltjen, Leah Stier, Jackie Horsman, Tiffany Mundfrom, and Superintendent James Hecimovich). Athletic Dirctor John Dols and several members of the

football coaching staff were on hand and shared their thoughts. Although the work session did not result in any formal action, the football discussion was lively and lasted over 45 minutes. Ann Oeltjen opened the discussion, and pointed out that the board dealt with similar concerns with the previous head football coach, stating, “I put it on the agenda. I’ve obviously See KINGSLAND Page 12 

Excitement is building as Lange’s Grocers gets ready to open its doors in downtown Mabel on November 18. It’s been more than six years since the town has had a grocery store and residents are looking forward to shopping locally again. Lange’s Grocers is located at 110 N. Main Street in the former furniture store building. Bryce Lange is the person who is making this a reality, along with the help of the City of Mabel EDA (Economic Development Authority). Lange received a $35,000 loan from the EDA and also took out another loan from First Southeast Bank in Harmony. He is getting the building contract for deed from the current owner, which he said helped a lot with keeping his initial investment down. “It can work, but it’s going to need people who will shop locally,” Lange said. “I believe this can be a viable business for Mabel and will help our economy by keeping money within our community. We plan to attract customers by offering locally grown and raised food options with good customer service. We want to help the economy as much as possible, so we are partnering with local food producers.” “Customers can expect an array of foods including fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, dairy products and canned goods,” Lange said. “They can also expect that the store will change according to their needs and wants. If we don’t carry a certain product, we will work to ensure that we can get that product for them. We’ll have a suggestion box

ing a discount of 10% if you purchase $100-199 of goods, 20% off $200-299 and 30% off purchases of $300 or more. Customers don’t need to apply for this program, the discount will be given automatically.

Monday, November 12, 2018

According to Lange, if you do a price comparison, you’ll find these discounted prices to be comparable to the prices found at the big box stores. “I would encourage you to give us a try,” Lange said. “We employ local people, buy and sell local foods and will be involved in the community as

much as possible. It is important to shop local whenever possible. If people do most of their shopping at big box stores, smaller businesses are sometimes forced to go out of business and local economies are hurt as a result.” The grocery store will occupy a portion of the large furniture store building. Lange is looking to lease the other part and encourages people to contact him if interested. All utilities would be included in the rent.

C ommentary County vs. state election results One Moment, Please... By Jason Sethre When comparing election results between Fillmore County, Houston County, and the State of Minnesota, the comparisons didn’t quite match up, but they usually don’t. For Governor and Lt. Governor, Minnesota voted 53.84% in favor of Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan (DFL), while Fillmore County voted 49.43% in favor of Jeff Johnson and Donna Bergstrom (R). Senator Amy Klobuchar (DFL) had a lock on the State with 60.31% of the votes, and Fillmore County was right there with her at 52.69% of the votes. While Tina Smith (DFL) was declared the victor in the U.S. Senator Special Election, winning 52.97% of the Statewide votes, Karen Housley (R) prevailed in Fillmore County with 50.56% of the votes. In Fillmore County, John Howe (R) won 54.21% of the votes for Secretary of State, while Steve Simon (DFL)

retained his role by winning 52.25% of the statewide votes. DFL-er Julie Blaha was voted in as the State Auditor with 49.35%, but Fillmore County voted 53.42% in favor of Pam Myhra (R) to take that seat. Doug Wardlow (R) garnered 55.77% of the votes in Fillmore County for the position of Attorney General, but Keith Ellison carried 48.96% of the statewide votes to a victory. In Houston County, it was almost the same story. Karen Housley (R) raked in 49.78% of the votes for Senator Tina Smith’s seat. However, Houston County favored Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan (DFL) with 49.31% of the votes. If Houston County had their way, John Howe (R) would be Secretary of State with 51.56% of the votes, and Pam Myhra (R) would be State Auditor with 50.80% of voter support. Doug Wardlow (R) would have been voted in as Attorney General with 51.85%.

Editorial Cartoon

That Barenaked Ladies song is so 1993

By Jason Sethre Publisher Fillmore County Journal jason@fillmorecountyjournal.com Around 2001, my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a concert to see the headlining band named Barenaked Ladies. Back in 1993, the Canadianborn Bare- Jason Sethre naked Ladies produced a hit song titled “If I Had a Million Dollars.” This song was iconic for several reasons. The lyrics made it sound like what an average median household income person might do if they suddenly received one million dollars. And, how they would share that windfall with someone special in their life. It’s pretty much a guy singing about how much more he could give his girlfriend if he had a million dollars. I’m not going to publish the lyrics verbatim, but I am going to share some highlights. The song starts out with the guy buying practical things for his girlfriend. He’d buy her a house, furniture, a car, a tree fort in the yard, and a refrigerator inside the tree fort. And, while he doesn’t know what it would be like to have a million dollars, he thinks he’d probably still be the same person he was before receiving that money. So, he sings about how he’d have pre-wrapped sausage and Kraft dinner and “all the fanciest dijon ketchups.”

Eventually, practicality turned to extravagance. He’d buy her exotic pets like a monkey, a llama or an emu, along with a fur coat and some art (a Picasso or a Garfunkel). He’d drive her to the store in a limousine. Toward the end of the song, he says, “If I had a million dollars, I’d buy your love,” and he concludes with, “I’d be rich.” I thought about this song a few weeks ago when our national media encouraged Americans to believe in the possibility that they could join the ranks of billionaires for a mere investment of two George Washingtons. I remember when I was a kid and I thought a million dollars was a lot of money. But, if you watch the various lotteries, they make a million dollars seem like pocket change. People have been conditioned to get more excited about the jackpot when it climbs to more than 500 million dollars. Sometimes I feel like the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (movie) character Dr. Evil, when he wakes up from a cryogenic sleep spanning decades and he realizes that a million dollars isn’t a lot of money. The lottery a few weeks ago hit nearly $1.6 billion with a cash payout option of $904 million. That’s a ridiculous amount of money. Seriously. Do you realize that if you retained $100 million of that bounty to take care of your next several generations of family, and took the remaining $804 million and gifted every individual in

Fillmore County, Minn. (a total population of 20,980), you could give each individual $38,322. So, a household with four individuals (adults and children) would receive $153,289. With that kind of money, a person could pay off their home and maybe even their vehicles. And, they’d be in a great position to send their kids to college along with making a sizable donation to their charity of choice. That amount of money would still be enough to change somebody’s life. But the reality is that having that kind of money handed to a person doesn’t really help them in the long run. I’ve seen it before and it will happen again. Quite often, the money is spent just as quickly as it is received. How many of these multi-million dollar lottery winners lose everything within a few years, including their loved ones. If you aren’t happy before you are rich, then what makes you think you’ll be happy if you instantly become rich?

OBITUARIES

Continued from Page 8

and her other children, to stay at her home until just a week before her passing. For this and Paul’s amazing care we are profoundly grateful. Life in Fountain brought Cub Scout meetings, 4-H club gatherings, Study Club, Altar Society, Senior Citizens, American Legion Auxiliary and many other adventures that revolved around family and community. Care, homecooked meals, fresh garden produce were all hallmarks of that time. When the Kelly family, our close neighbors, suffered the unexpected loss of first their mother then later their father, Alvira stepped up and extended her loving and caring arms to our now broader family. This was emblematic of Alvira. Her loving kindness and habit of service were well known. Alvira loved to work with her hands. Her specialty was tatting (lace making) and crochet. Her doilies were sought after priceless creations. She was very prolific working on projects to the very last days. She also was a skilled and reliable cream cheese mint provider. Every major milestone in our family was supplied lovingly with Alvira’s famous mints. She also had quite a green thumb, especially with African Violets which she carefully nursed for many years. She freely shared quilting and canned preserves with others, especially her famously delicious refrigerator strawberry jelly (and her painstakingly prepared overnight buns). She and family spent many

Sundays hosting or visiting aunts and uncles and their families with a myriad of double cousins. Family was important to all of us and felt like a natural and easy extension of our own immediate family. In all these ways, Alvira as neighbor, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother demonstrated and reflected the love of God in which she was so secure. Saturday nights or Sunday mornings, no matter the location, always meant attending Mass. She and her sister Winnie were awarded lifetime service medallions by the Diocese of Winona for their many, many years of service to the church. Often we would look up at the church altar and admire flowers that had earlier that day graced our own large garden. It was and is an inseparable connection. Alvira never quit. It was a trait that has left such an indelible legacy for us her family and for those who experienced her far reaching generosity. When doctors warned of her succumbing to pneumonia several years ago, she defiantly declared that she would rebound and see 100, which she did, and then some. Her indomitable spirit continues to inspire all of us to press on and enjoy each other as best we can and to be available for each other whenever the need arises. That was Alvira and those are the memories that we hold of her in our hearts. Survivors include six children: Ernie (Dori) Klockeman of Brooklyn Park, Barb (Rollie) Tust of Winona, John (Mary) Klockeman of Dundas, David (Jennifer) Klockeman of Ft. Collins, Colo., Shirley

Fillmore County Sports Cougars Win 1A East, Agonizingly Fall Short of State By Paul Trende It was still a great season. MabelC a n t o n The Trende volleyball Report accomplished a lot in 2 0 1 8 . They won the SECEast again, k e e p ing their 100-plusPaul Trende m a t c h league winning streak intact, doing

so by twice fending off their biggest threat in a number of years, rival Spring Grove. The Cougars won the 1A East subsection, going through perennial power Caledonia and the Lions (again). Lonnie Morken’s group got to 30 wins. Personal milestones were reached. Three very good players had very good senior years. But in M-C’s most realistic opportunity, in many years, to end a 17-year state drought, they fell agonizingly short. It’s a loss that will hurt for a long while. M-C (1-seed, 29-5) first played for the 1A East title.

For a fifth time, they and neighbor Spring Grove (2-seed, 26-3) went head-to-head. M-C started fast in game one (7-1) only to error too much and the Lions pulled even (9-9, 10-10, 11-11, 12-12). A trio of SG errors helped M-C to a 16-12 lead. The Lions got as close as 20-19, but M-C prevailed 25-21. Set two was a buzz-saw. After a 6-6 start, M-C finished 19-3. Maddy Michels had a sevenpoint serving season. M-C prevailed 25-9. Like game one, M-C led early in game three (11-2), but the Lions slowly fought all the way back to trail 20-19. M-C closed for a 25-21 win, the 3-0 sweep (25-21, 25-9, 25-21). The Cougars grabbed their 30th win of the year and the 1A East title. After starting the year losing three of four sets to the Lions (all at the Cougars’ Labor Day Tourney), M-C won nine of the next 10. M-C’s big hitter was 5’9” junior middle hitter Sarina Stortz. She posted a game-high, career-high 17 kills (.366 hitting). Maddy Michels added 9 kills. Sophomore setter Kenidi McCabe (37 assists, 20 digs) went over 2,000 career helpers. Lexi Thorson (4 kills, 11 digs, 3 aces) and Payton Danielson (8 kills, 13 digs) did work all the way around. The later joined the former with over 1,000 career digs. Han-

nah Snell (10 digs) and Lauren Wyffels (11 digs) helped in the back-row. SG’s elite athlete, senior MH Mariah Edgington, was held somewhat in check (9 kills, 16 digs). Kailee Olerud (16 assists, 14 digs), Amelia Solum (14 digs), Maggie Lile (14 digs), and Alyssa Johnson (12 digs) also got to double-digits digs. SG’s superb season ends at 26-4, losses to Mabel-Canton, MabelCanton, Mabel-Canton, and Mabel-Canton! M-C (East 1-seed, 30-5) then played Medford (West 1-seed, 26-5) for the Section 1A volleyball title. Hopes were high

for the Cougars, but “sucks” describes the ending. Game one proved pivotal. In a set that saw 10 ties, it was the last M-C wished didn’t happen. The Cougars were at match-point 24-23. Medford then got a kill from MH Kinsey Cronin. The Tigers then got kills from their other two good hitters, Emma Kniefel and Rachael Luebbe for the 26-24 win. In retrospect, it’s a set M-C needed. In game two, the Cougars overcame an early 8-3 deficit to force eight mid-set ties. But Medford closed 8 to 4 for a 25-21 win. Down 2-0, it wasn’t out of the question M-C could comeback.

it before. In the third set, save for a four more ties, M-C led from start to finish for a 25-18 win. Game four again had M-C down early, by as many as five multiple times. Down 21-17, M-C went 4-0 for a 21-21 tie. But Medford scored the last four, getting a double-block for a 25-21 win, the Section title (26-24, 25-21, 18-25, 25-21). The Tigers finished with around 130 digs, M-C 142; every point very hard to come by. Medford’s three hitters, 5’11” Cronin (18 kills), 5’9” Knievel (15 kills, 36 digs), and 5’9” Luebbe (13 kills, 11 digs, 2 ½ blks) were the difference. Setter Morgan Langeslag (48 assists, 21 digs), libero Kiley Nihart (30 digs), and Izzy Reuvers (18 digs) also helped the effort. Stortz again led M-C’s offensive attack, setting another career-high with 19 kills (.298 hitting). She was the only Cougar over 5’6” to play in the match. Michels (10 kills, 9 digs, 5 blks, 18-18 serving) helped in the middle. Jordyn Newgard had 7 kills on the outside. M-C’s defense was fantastic, as McCabe (48 assists, 29 digs), Danielson (8 kills, 28 digs), Thorson (5 kills, 26 digs), and Snell (23 digs) all went over 20 digs. Wyffels added 15. Thorson came within three digs (1,551) of surpassing Jenni Aasum’s school-record (1,594). Mabel-Canton’s season ends at 30-6. The Cougars post their eighth 30-win season in the last 10. They graduate three good ones in Thorson (a five-year starter), Michels (four-year key player), and Snell (three-year key player). Not that she was guaranteed to make the difference, but it would’ve been nice if the Cougars had 5’9” junior OH Avery Davis (who suffered

Houston football (2-seed, 9-1) implemented the correct game plan. They carried it out almost as they needed. In the Section 1 9-Man finals, versus defending state champion Spring Grove (1-seed, 10-0), the ‘Canes played the ball control game. They took their three, four, and five-yard gains, keeping the ball away from electric Lion quarterback Alex Folz. But Houston critically couldn’t finish two goal-to-goal situations and SG earned its second straight trip to state. A Ben Walters interception of Folz on SG’s opening possession helped Houston start its first long fruitful drive. The ‘Canes went 60 yards in 14 plays. James Hongerholt’s 12-yard TD run gave the ‘Canes a 6-0 lead. SG replied in just four plays. One was a 39-yard Folz run, another a 19-yard Folz TD run. Folz converted the PAT for a 7-6 Lions lead. Houston then got a 38-yard kick-off return from Walters, and a 29-yard run by Jaytin Millen. They were first and goal at the 10. The drive ended when Hongerholt was intercepted (Folz) in the end zone. The Lions then went 80 yards in 12 plays. A Folz 3-yard run made it a 14-6 SG, which stood as the half-time score. The game’s most critical drive was the first of the second half. Houston went 64 yards in 19 plays. They had a first and goal at the six. On fourth and goal from the six inch line, the ‘Canes were denied on a middle run. SG then went 99 yards in seven plays. Folz authored a 68-yard TD run early in the fourth. The Lions took a 21-6

As Mabel-Canton volleyball progressed toward the 1A East title and a Section Runner-Up finish, sophomore setter Kenidi McCabe went over 2,000 assists and junior OH Payton Danielson went over 1,000 career digs. The duo are key assets to a Cougar team that finished 30-6.

been getting questions… Is our football program going in the direction that we wanted it to three years ago? Do we see kids being student-athletes?” Jackie Horsman replied, “Can I ask, three years ago, what were the things identified by the board at that time that you wanted to see marked improvement in?” Doug Plaehn answered, “Participation was probably the biggest one.” After further discussion, John Dols was asked about the participation numbers for football, and he reported that the number of football players in grades 7-12 have been: 43 in 2014, 37 in 2015, 60 in 2016, 57 in 2017, and 67 in 2018. Horsman stated, “So what the board asked for, we got.” Oeltjen replied, “We also

wanted to see the program going in the right direction, that we were starting to win. Yes, we’ve won some games… I don’t want to see our kids not going out for sports just because of either a coach or because we’re losing… Our sportsmanship in that sport has not improved. I think our sportsmanship in football has gone down.” Horsman said she has witnessed “horrific” sportsmanship at several sports, and she doesn’t feel this is a football-specific issue, but rather a Kingsland culture issue. Tiffany Mundfrom asked John Dols if he feels the head coach and football program are making progress, and he answered, “Marginal.” He went on to share his opinion that, “We’re falling right back into this,” (pattern of considering changing coaches after just a few years) and he stressed his feel-

ing that Coach Stinson should be given enough time to build the program. Plaehn suggested that one way for any studentathletes or citizens to share their concerns would be to attend an upcoming regular board meeting and address the board directly. The next such meeting will be November 19. The board heard an audit summary from Jason Boynton, representing the accounting firm of Smith Schafer & Associates. Boynton stated that overall, the audit resulted in an unmodified “clean” report. He pointed out that Kingsland has continued to see a decline in enrollment, which makes the per-student costs increase. Regarding revenues, he shared that Kingsland gets 65% from state aid and 22% from local property taxes. Business Manager Amber Herbrand gave a budgetary summary. The board discussed a proposed new policy on ineligible students, which board members

said simply clarifies that the expectations cover students in all extracurricular activities, not just sports. It includes a stipulation that although a student may attend his/her team’s events while ineligible, the student would not be able to participate, and would not be allowed to get out of school early for such events while ineligible. This policy, as well as several others, are being considered, but have not yet been adopted. Regarding the longterm facility maintenance (indoor air quality) issues, Superintendent Hecimovich shared that structural engineers had been in and did a walk-through. He said the preliminary plan is to bring the columns in through the roof, which will be less costly. He also said the project is still expected to be completed during the summer of 2019. Regarding the current vacant seat on the Kingsland School Board (due to the resignation of Heather Betts), Hecimovich

summarized that the board has two options. The board can either just appoint someone to fill the vacancy, or can advertise for interested persons. In either case, the position would be filled until a special election, to be held in November 2019. Hecimovich shared an email that explains the Booster Club is interested in making a monthly donation to Kingsland’s “building fund,” since the Booster Club is not allowed to have large amounts of funds build up. The next regular board meeting will be Monday, November 19, at 6:30 p.m. in the choir room. As always, the public is welcome.

Fountain nears IPP agreement for wastewater By Kirsten Zoellner With a three-man council, including Mayor Richard Kujath, Mayor-Elect Jim Schott, and Councilor Dave Gudmundson, the City of Fountain drew

nearer to signage of an Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) with Valley Design at the Wednesday, November 7 meeting. Councilors Chad Wangen and Brian Ostby were absent.

Discussing the matter at length with the council was Rick Whitney of People Service, who operates the city’s wastewater treatment plant. A revised IPP agreement was brought forth

FILLMORE COUNTY JOURNAL

by Whitney and he asked the council, city attorney, and city engineer, WSB Associates, to review and approve it. “The current agreement puts the city at great risk,” he stated, referencing a number of items within the agreement that could put the city back into non-compliance.

on their backhoe or tractor. The pusher would be used instead of the bucket, which would allow them to plow the snow in fewer passes. This would increase efficiency and decrease operator time. “What they’re proposing would make a night and day difference,” Resseman said. The funds are available in the budget and so the council approved the purchase. The Park Board had approved the purchase of a lightweight plow that would be installed on the park pickup truck. Currently, the plowing is done with an attachment on a lawn mower, leaving the operator exposed to the elements. The Park Board asked the council to approve the purchase as well, which they did.

Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The funds raised from the event go towards the Lanesboro high school’s senior class trip. The council approved the request. One of the appointed election judges ended up being a candidate on the ballot so Council member Tom Smith was appointed as a replacement. City financial advisor Mike Bubany presented rates for a midi loan for the design of a wastewater treatment facility. He noted that the rate is better than one he showed the council a month ago. The council passed a resolution approving the loan. The council reviewed the proposed utilities fee schedule for Ordinance 54.06. Council member Tom Smith was not in favor of the new rates. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” he said. “I think the costs are getting way too high.” “The revenue is not sufficient to cover expenses,” Peterson commented. “This is the seventh option I’ve ran and presented to the Utilities department.” She noted that the Utilities Commission had approved the new rates. The council approved the ordinance with the new utility rates. A final pay request from Generation X was approved as the proper documentation was provided by the contractor to the city. The next Lanesboro City Council meeting will be held on December 3 at 5:30 p.m.

NTC plans initiatives for 2019 By Karen Reisner Jeff Broberg reported on activities and future initiatives of the National Trout Center at the Preston City Council’s November 5 meeting. He expressed his appreciation for the city’s support. Broberg said they are growing great programs, have great participation and continue to grow the number of visitors to the center (1,241 visitors, up 138 from last year). A weekly fishing report is provided online, published on Thursday mornings. The client base is being expanded by appealing not only to anglers, but to non-anglers by providing interesting things for those people to see. A grant of $7,200 has been received through Winona State University to manage a trout stream water quality assessment. An effort will be made to recruit volunteers to promote the Preston trout float. The goal is to get the float in eight parades next year to let more people know about the NTC. Broberg explained the board is in the process of finalizing next year’s budget. Plans are being made to expand the season and increase the use of the building, inviting others to use

the building. Other initiatives for 2019 include expanding the fishing season (including winter fishing), making area cities year round fishing destinations, attracting more people. One more large aquarium for nongame fish is in the plans. More field trips will include a spring trip. Next year may be the first annual banquet. Also, there is an initiative to develop a mobile unit which can go to other towns and area parks. These initiatives will result in additional expenses. The board has a fundraising goal of $10,000 by year end. The board has not acted on the 2019 budget, but Broberg expects an $8,000 budget increase, to about $67,000. Fundraising plans include individual giving and memberships, large givers, business contributions, foundations and grants, and the annual banquet. Broberg again expressed appreciation for support that has been provided by the city, Preston EDA, and Preston Public Utilities (PPU). There is a possibility the NTC will have to move to a different building. If that happens there will be additional expenses. NTC will be featured in the

spring 2019 Midwest Living magazine. Broberg concluded saying we are on track to grow. Other business in brief • A grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation has been awarded to the city of Preston in the amount of $7,500. The council accepted the SMIF Livability grant. The EDA had submitted the grant application which will be used to showcase the opportunity for housing development in Preston and marketing this to developers. A final report will be made to SMIF in November 2019. • The Community Economic Development Associates (CEDA) contract was approved. The one year contract shows a 3% cost increase for 2019. Twothirds of the $30,293 is paid through the EDA and one-third by PPU. The funds pay for the services of Cathy Enerson for five days per month. • Approval was given to send a request for a proposal to SmithSchafer (CPAs) for professional auditing services. Deputy clerk Sheila Marzolf acknowledged that she has not had any issues working with the firm in the last couple of years. The firm was the city’s auditor in 2016 and 2017. • A process to vacate St. Anthony St. between Valley St. and Highway 52 will now continue. The vacation of this sec-

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Process to hire land services director goes forward By Karen Reisner At the November 6 County Board meeting, there was a lengthy discussion about replacing retiring County Assessor Cindy Blagsvedt with the hire of a land services director. County Coordinator Bobbie Vickerman explained this has been discussed at several personnel committee meetings. Someone with an Accredited Minnesota Assessor (AMA) certification is required. This Land Records model is used by some other counties. A job description for this position was offered with a few changes. Within two years the land services director will be expected to get a Senior Accredited Minnesota Assessor (SAMA) certification. County Attorney Brett Corson expressed some concerns of possible conflicts with duties of other elected officials, possibly removing some of the duties of elected officials. He suggested the newly elected auditor/treasurer should be allowed to take office and then provide input along with the county recorder. Commissioner Duane Bakke stated we have the right to do this and the time to make the change is when a retirement is in place. Vickerman said she did consult a labor law attorney, adding each county is different. Vickerman noted that Blagsvedt’s last day is December 14 and the state requires that they have someone that is AMA certified by March 31. The position would get a slightly higher salary than a newly hired assessor, but less than the current assessor who has been with the county for years. Commissioner Marc Prestby wanted an organizational chart to be decided by the board instead of going back to the personnel committee. After looking at different recommendations, it was decided by consensus to have the elected county recorder supervise the office support Sr. or deputy recorder and for the auditor/treasurer to supervise the finance officer, account tech lead, and account tech. The land services director will directly

supervise the assistant director and three property appraisers and also two account tech leads, GIS, and an account tech. Chairman Mitch Lentz said this structure will allow elected officials to do the job they are elected to do. “I do really feel this is a good model that works in other counties.” County Recorder David Kiehne argued another layer of bureaucracy will not necessarily make the system work better. I don’t see the benefit of an assessor with director abilities. I don’t know if it will improve the process for the public. Bakke stated the organizational chart will encourage collaboration between the land services director and the auditor/ treasurer and the county recorder. Kiehne insisted collaboration between the departments is already going on. Vickerman said we have to rely on our staff people, it is not about power. We are all doing our job and we need these people to get the job done. A motion to proceed with the process to hire a land services director was approved unanimously. Other business in brief • A proposal from Maxfield Research and Consulting, LLC to do a housing study was approved. EDA director Marty Walsh explained it is ready to go. Funding has been provided in the 2019 budget. The study will provide factual backup of housing demand for developers. A survey will be taken of existing housing stock. Interviews will be conducted with major employers, developers, realtors, and city and government staff. Walsh said they will look at the number of undeveloped properties plus national, statewide, and regional trends. Also, they will look at demographics and the need for senior housing. Housing will be looked at for the short term, for the next three year period, and projections out to 2030. Employment analysis will likely include the potential employees needed for the veterans home. They will identify the demand for

housing and for the variety of housing (rental, ownership, and senior). The 2018 proposal was at a cost of $19,000. Compeer Financial offered to sponsor the housing study with $5,000 from its fund for rural America. The sponsorship was approved and a letter thanking Compeer Financial for the grant will be sent on behalf of the county board. • An application for the Minnesota Evidence-based Family Home Visiting Grant with Houston County was approved. Director of Nursing Jessica Erickson said this grant would provide funding for a lot of training. This would be an expansion of the grant which has been in seven counties (Rice, Dodge, Steele, Freeborn, Goodhue, Wabasha, and Winona Counties). If expanded to Fillmore and Houston Counties it will be in a total of nine counties. Rice County Community Health Service is the primary applicant and the fiscal host for Healthy Families of

Southeast Minnesota. The grant period is from mid 2019 to the end of 2022. The county attorney will be asked to approve the final agreement. Erickson reported that remaining funds from the Statewide Health Improvement Program will be used by the end of the year (about $28,000). • Approval was given for Winona Heating and Ventilating Inc. to do roof repairs on the law enforcement center for the amount of $5,774. • Final payments were approved for Highway projects on CSAH 1 in Sumner Township, CR 105 in Arendahl Township, Ivy Rd. in Carrolton Township, and for a project in Sumner Township. Highway/Airport Office Manager Pam Schroeder reported on an application she has been working on for Airport Supplemental Appropriation Funding. If federal funds are awarded there will be no local match. Schroeder said this is a highly competitive grant.

• A Foster Care Transportation Agreement with Kingsland Public Schools was approved. The district and county agree to split the cost of transportation. Bakke asked social services director Kevin Olson to reach out to other school districts. This is for transportation costs associated with any elementary or secondary students that have been placed in a different school district. A resolution of support was approved for using bonding for regional triage centers for crisis intervention. • General Election Canvassing will be on November 14 at 10 a.m. • Approval was given for Convene, LLC training using 12 live webinars and a couple of live events. The cost is $999 per year. Budgeted dollars are available. There is no limit on the number of people who can attend. • A three-year agreement was approved for the SELCO contract for library service. The county will increase its payment in the amount of $5,500 per year. The funding from the county in 2019 will be $233,809.

cautioned. “We’re already pushing more than it’s designed to handle. We’re doing a great job as it is, but if we overload it, we won’t be able to maintain compliance.” Whitney insisted that Valley Design should be allowed half, or 80-85. The second issue is a described phosphorus limit in the agreement. According to Whitney, phosphorus levels are not an issue. “They allowed testing of

all the chemicals in their plant. Nothing has a high phosphorus level. Phosphorus isn’t the problem, zinc is,” added Whitney. He suggested that is a phosphorus limit of one is included someone has to monitor it. “If there’s an upset in phosphorus, how are we going to prove it? We would have to take a composite sample every week. Do we want as a city to bear that cost?” Instead, Whitney suggested removing the limit or possibly requesting Valley Design do the monitoring if a

limit is included. Whitney stated there have been communication problems between himself and the city’s engineer. “Your engineer doesn’t want to talk to me.” City Clerk Rhonda Flattum vehemently denied the statement. “I beg to differ. People Service and the engineer, you two have to work together.” Whitney countered that. “What I see in an IPP agreement, I was never given this by you or the engineer. I was told by him that he didn’t want to

have any more discussions with me, that’s why I stopped.” “The city is getting caught up in the middle of this and it’s not pretty,” responded Flattum. “You two have to communicate.” She suggested People Service, WSB Associates, and the city council could meet to discuss the agreement. “It has to be an agreement that works for the city,” stressed Whitney. “Please hold off until I can talk to the engineer, so I can make sure it works for the city.” All parties will be invited to be

at the December council meeting. Another issue for the plant was the option to buy bulk microseed. The issue was discussed at length previously, but the bulk tank was deemed too big for the space and there was concern over whether or not the concrete could hold the weight. Another concern was the settling of microseed inside the totes prior to use. Currently, the city is spending $29,131 annually for a finished microseed product. After some review of options, Whitney noted the city could order two deliveries (12 totes in each delivery) of a more crude form at a cost of $18,727. Just 13 totes a year would be needed, so 11 totes would carry over to the next year. Unfortunately, due to the predicted settling of the unfinished product, a mixer would be needed for the bulk tank. Even with the cost of the bulk tank and a mixer, Whitney believes the city will make up the one-time costs within a year. Whitney also stated the 4,500 gallons weighs 10.4 pounds per gallon, a weight he believes the five-inch concrete floor can sustain. “I’ll do whatever you want. I’m just here to bring numbers,” he added. “My goal is to get something that’s going to work for you.” The city will wait until the December meeting for full council presence to make a decision on the IPP agreement. The council has approved changes to the fee schedule. The two changes include increasing the rental charge for the community center from $200 to $400 and striking requirement and fee for dog licensing, which was $7. “What are we doing for dog control?” asked Kujath. Clerk Flattum noted that dogs running at large is still prohibited by ordinance. “We will have to deal with it when it happens,” she added. “No one is buying licenses when they’re supposed to be,” added Schott. “We’re going to give it a try.” The next organizational meeting for the 150-year celebration is Wednesday, November 14, 7 p.m., at city hall. Interested persons are asked to attend. The next council meeting is Wednesday, December 5, at 7:30 p.m, at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

Ask a Trooper By Sgt. Troy Christianson Minnesota State Patrol Question: I was arrested for DWI. Where do I find information about ignition interlock? Answer: First-time DWI offenders arrested at 0.16 alcoholconcentration level or above and second-time offenders can voluntarily enroll in the ignition interlock program to regain legal driving privi- Sgt. Troy H. leges. If they Christianson don’t enroll, they face at least one year without a driver’s license. Offenders with three or more offenses are required to use interlock for three to six years, or they will never regain driving privileges. The law gives DWI offenders a chance to regain driving privileges by ensuring safe and legal driving through the use of the interlock device. Interlock users will regain full driving privileges immediately after the offense and enrollment into the program. This ensures they are driving with a valid license and are not a threat on the road. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services Division administers the ignition interlock program, and you can contact them at dvs.ii@ state.mn.us or (651) 296-2948 to enroll in the program. Information is also available at https:// dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/programs/ mn-ignition-interlock/Pages/ default.aspx. Interlock devices are installed near the steering wheel and connect to the engine. They require

DATE

JOB #

a driver to blow into a tube and provide a breath sample in order for the vehicle to start. The vehicle will not start if the device detects an alcohol-concentration level of 0.02 or above. Interlocks require rolling re-tests after the initial test, but a failed test will not disable the vehicle while in motion for safety reasons. The device also has features to deter others from starting the vehicle for the intended user. The ignition interlock program protects Minnesotans from the dangers of impaired driving by: • Creating safer roads. • Providing a way for offenders to obtain a valid driver’s license, addressing the problem of people driving without a valid license. • Encouraging behavior modification and rehabilitation. • Diminishing the possibility of a repeat DWI. 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. 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.

RADIAL DEEP TREAD 23° TIRE • Proven 23° bar angle delivers ultimate traction in North American soil types • R-1W tread depth is approximately 25% deeper in the center for improved wet traction • Designed for high-horsepower tractors and built to last with reinforced lug design

3D CANYON siPE TEChNOLOgY interlocks the shoulders to resist wear from high torque and provides additional stability. rUggED & rigiD TrEAD bLOCKs features provide tread-pattern rigidity in the contact patch enhancing stability and handling and preventing stones from becoming trapped in grooves. AggrEssiVE UPPEr siDEWALL along with offset shoulder blocks protect the tire from sharp rocks and provide off-road traction at low tire pressures or in off-camber situations. DEEPEsT TrEAD iN ThE CATEgOrY provides long lasting wear as well as consistent snow and hydroplane resistance throughout the life of the tire. siLiCA TrEAD COMPOUND delivers superior wear life and wet performance. OUTEr APEx siDEWALL features a secondary bead apex that acts as a heat shield to protect the internal casing of the tire for confident handling and durability and benefit of sidewall protection on rough roads and trails. hEAT DiFFUsEr TEChNOLOgY in the lower sidewall dissipates heat to protect the internal tire components. Keeping this critical area of the tire ensures vehicle stability even when towing or carrying heavy loads.
